It is unclear how long the va- grants have been using the field, which borders the local sports com- plex. Some say they have been se- cretly living there for over 10 years. However, locals say they recently noticed an increase in the number of people living between the bushes, with some claiming that there could be about 60 people currently calling the open space home. Amina van der Schyff says she spotted them while driving on the M5 during the holiday. “I saw clothes fluttering in the wind and when I took a closer look, I saw a man defecating without any shame. I was so shocked, I nearly caused an accident. I know that vagrancy is a problem in Lansdowne, but we can- not allow them to take over Ken- wyn, too. Something has to be done!” Another local, who asks not to be named, says she once sent her hus- band to “check things out” after they noticed a trio of men walking into the field during the early evening. “He told me he saw a small fire and about 40 people standing around it. He asked what they were doing there and they said he must mind his own business and leave. They were argumentative and he was obviously quite scared. We phoned the Metro Police to follow up.” She says she wouldn’t be sur- prised if the homeless group is re- sponsible for a recent spate of break-ins and robberies in Kenwyn. “They cause nothing but trouble. They are always begging or loiter- ing in the streets. I would be so hap- py if someone could just step in and remove them from our area.” After trekking through knee- length grass and litter, People’s Post found the well-hidden settlement with only about 10 of the inhabit- ants at home at the time. They sat around a cooking fire while a pot boiled their water. There are no shacks as the people sleep only on mattresses with no shelter from the elements. Cheap wine bottles littered the flattened sections of grass, and most of the men were intoxicated – at noon. While the reporter was initially met with hostility, three women who have been living there for up to six years made a heartfelt plea for help. Lorraine Conradie (33) heard about the settlement while living under Lansdowne bridge. “I didn’t know that kind of life and I needed to feel safe. I have been on the street for a little over a year after I suf- fered a mild stroke and the woman I was charring for kicked me out,” she explains. “This isn’t a nice place to live but it’s better than be- ing under the bridge. But once I have enough money, I want to go home to Prieska. I don’t belong on the streets,” Conradie says sadly. But people like Beverley Wille- mse don’t have anywhere else to go. “I previously lived at the Flamin- go informal settlement but I moved out when a fire destroyed every- thing I had in December,” she says. “I realised I had nothing left and that it was time to move on. I heard about this place and decided to rath- er come here.” Things are by no means better be- tween the reeds. Jackie Matthews explains that they are forced to use the bushes as a bathroom, and they have to walk “a lekker distance” for water, which they get from a burst pipe. “Food is a constant worry for us. Sometimes people give us their leftovers or canned goods, but other times we have to scratch in bins to survive,” she says. Matthews vehe- mently denies that any of the home- less people living there are involved in criminal activities. However, another resident, who asks not to be named, confirms that “bad people” often dump stolen goods behind the reeds. “They know we won’t touch it or say any- thing because we are scared. People don’t want us here so we don’t like to cause trouble or draw attention to us. But we are not the ones who cause trouble. We just need a place to stay.” But Richard Bosman, the City of Cape Town’s director for Safety and Security, says the council has been trying to assist the occupants for over eight years. “In that time, vari- ous groups have been relocated to the Delft-Symphony Way Tempo- rary Relocation Area; back to their communities, to family and friends; or to shelters,” he explains. Some occupants have also been arrested for engaging in criminal activities, Bosman continues. “Unfortunately, it is difficult to clear the area completely because just as the Unit relocates one group, another settles there.

LESS than 10 metres from theclean, quiet streets of Ken-

ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER

Former cleaner takes to the chalkboardTAMMY PETERSEN

AS the new arrivals at Mountview Highstreamed into the classroom last Wednes-day, butterflies filled the stomach of PeterHendricks. He waited over 20 years toteach, and the day had finally arrived.

After years of using a broom and deter-gents, the 46-year-old father of two finallypicked up a stick of chalk and started histeaching career.

Hendricks, former head of cleaning at Ken-wyn Primary, completed his degree in teach-ing at UWC last year.

The road to realising his dream of mould-ing young minds was anything but easy, butafter years of juggling his daytime job andstudying after hours, he proved that anythingis possible if you put your mind to it. “It wasa great feeling to greet my first class,” a proudHendricks, who is from Hanover Park, says.“I was no longer on the outside looking in; Iwas finally what I always wanted to be.”

Hendricks was retrenched in 2004 afterworking in the clothing industry for most ofhis adult life, whereafter he volunteered atMountview High – his alma mater – while hestruggled to find employment. He alwaysdreamed of teaching, but without a qualifica-tion, his chances of entering the field were

slim (“From swept floors to the chalkboard”,People’s Post, 25 October 2011).

Despite his age, he enrolled at UWC whileworking as a cleaner at a primary school inStrandfontein, after which he was a caretak-er at a school in Ottery.

Money was tight, but his wife and two teen-aged children encouraged him to push on to-wards a tertiary qualification.

Last year, in front of a crowd of spectatorswhich included his own family, Hendricks of-ficially graduated.

He applied for a post at Mountview Highand was officially accepted in January.

“When I got the job, I was told that thisschool had been waiting for me for a longtime. I immediately knew that I had made theright decision to come here,” he says.

When People’s Post visited his classroomon Friday, he spoke calmly to the scholars,throwing in a joke or two to lighten the mood.

“There is hard work ahead and I expect youto do your best at all times,” he told them.“And don’t forget: we always handle each oth-er with the utmost respect.”

He has great plans for his lessons, whichhe hopes will be exciting and interesting forthe teenagers he will be educating.

“Besides their schoolwork, I hope I willteach and inspire them to exceed their ownexpectations and fulfil their goals as I did.Life is full of opportunities – you just needto go out there and grab them.”

He turns and starts chatting to the students– and grabs a broom and absently sweeps adusty area.

Everyone looking to renew their spent CFLs for free

raise your hands!

www.eskom.co.za/idm

Five years ago, we managed to convertmillions of South Africans to using CFLenergy saving light bulbs and savedyou money. Now, five years later, we’reback to change your energy saversthat have reached the end of theirlife. Continue to use energy savers tocollectively save South Africa’s energy.

Energy saving lightbulbs have anenvironmental benefit because theycut your lighting cost by using lesselectricity and last up to eight timeslonger, resulting in a reduction ingreenhouse gases. The small amountof mercury that energy savinglightbulbs contain is almost used upby the time the lightbulb is ready fordisposal. So try not to break the lamp anddispose of CFLs at participating retailers.

Old CFLs can be exchangedfor new ones in two ways:

a. There will be a door-to-door exchange(people will come to your door to dothe exchange).

b. Self exchange points will be set up incertain areas, where you will be ableto go and do the exchange.

Don’t miss out!Save energy and save money!

The exchange period will run from November 2011 to January 2012.

And the beat goes onTAURIQ HASSEN

THE 2012 season for the minstrel competi-tions has kicked off at the Vygieskraaland Athlone Stadiums, with severalteams hoping to get their hands on thecoveted Carnival Trophy.

Teams started their quest on Monday 2 Jan-uary with a road march through DarlingStreet into Adderley Street, up Wale Streetand then into historic Bo-Kaap.

People’s Post covered the story of the min-strels’ battling to re-enter Bo-Kaap, after theywere refused entry due to complaints by localresidents about noise, minstrels urinatingagainst mosques and teams making a noiseinto the early hours of the morning.

This year’s road march drew thousands of

people to the CBD, where they lined thestreets to catch a glimpse of favourite teams.The day did not get off to a great start, asteams were meant to start walking at 10:00,but

the first team only began making its wayup Wale Street just before 15:00. To thecrowd’s relief, a string of teams followed, en-tertaining the crowds with their bright col-ours, striking dance moves, fluent soundsand their joyous celebrations.

Kevin Momberg, executive director of theCape Town Carnival Minstrel Association,was delighted at the outcome of the TweedeNuwe Jaar celebrations, but emphasised thatthe action was only beginning at the stadi-ums.

“We feel that the day was a success, despitea hiccup in the early stages of the event, butthe rest of the day was a complete success,”says Momberg.

Amongst the teams, old and new, were theShoprite Pennsylvannian Crooning Min-strels, Santam District Six Entertainers, Fab-ulous Woodstock Starlites, SaltravannianCrooning Minstrels, Die Burger’s HappyBoys, Ashwin Willemse Orient CommunityEntertainer, Golden Dixies and many more.

Rashiedah Abrahams from Woodstock sup-ports the minstrels “fully”. Every year, alongwith her family, she sets up her gazebo on theParade in Cape Town early in the morning.

“Klopse is in my blood, I have grandsons,sons, cousins and many other family mem-bers walking in various troupes. Every year,I make this a special day to go out and supportthem,” says Abrahams.

Many of the teams headed to their respec-tive stadiums, where they took part in theirfirst vocal items for the 2012 competition,which will continue until the end of themonth.

False fail forlocal matricHANRIE BOSCH

THURSDAY 5January was ajoyous day fornumerous mat-rics who cele-brated the end oftheir school ca-reers as theirnames were pub-lished in newspa-pers. But at leastone Cape Townmatric was leftdistraught formore than aweek, thinkingshe had failed, af-ter a blunder atthe WesternCape EducationDepartment(WCED).

WCED “lost” La-eeqah Stoutz’ssecond maths paper and omittedher name from the paper.

“In our family we have a tradi-tion: when you pass matric andyour name is in the paper we keepit. Now La-eeqah has lost out onthis,” said her mother, Abeda Abra-hams, from the family home inKewtown, Athlone,

“It was very traumatic for her, asall her friends and family came tosympathise. Every second we hadto console her. There are just somany ‘what ifs’.

“What if we had not consoled herand she decided to do somethingstupid? What then?”

But luckily for Stoutz her motherdouble checked on the internet and

found an “incom-plete” next to hername. She discov-ered that Stoutzhad not writtenher second mathspaper, accordingto the WCED.

“I took her toschool every day towrite exams andwe both knew thatthis could not betrue.” Abrahamswas then told tophone back threeweeks later to getan update.

Stoutz’s teacherat Rylands HighSchool in Athlonesent her the re-sults on Thursday12 January andshe could finally

relax.But many questions remain un-

answered for the family, and theyfeel that their daughter has beenrobbed of the joy of seeing her namein the paper and having everyoneknow that she passed, and wonderhow many other pupils are in thesame boat.

People’s Post contacted the WCEDandwas told that: “According toourrecords, the candidate has a full re-sult. She can collect her resultsfrom the department if she does notalready have them. Meanwhile, thedepartment is investigating theclaims.” They were also unable tocomment on how often these “er-rors” crept in and a name was omit-ted from the paper.

Possible load-sheddingESKOM has told the City of CapeTown there is a possibility thatCape Town could experience load-shedding in the next few weeks.

This is due to Eskom’s inabilityto meet rising demand for electrici-ty throughout the country. The riskof load-shedding has been exacer-bated by on-going maintenancework that Eskom has undertakenas it grapples with boosting supplycapacity in order to avoid sustainedpower outages.

As the load-shedding in 2008 re-

vealed, the process is a difficult one.However, as responsible citizens,we can all do our bit to avoid thenegative impact that load-sheddingwould have on our country by re-ducing electricity usage. Eskomurged Capetonians to use electrici-ty sparingly in order to avoid poweroutages. It said switching off all un-used electrical appliances or usingalternative energy would help toconserve electricity. Eskom said itwas putting measures in place toavoid load-shedding.

Cape Town a hit with touristsHANRIE BOSCH

THE city was truly packed andfully booked during the festiveseason.

Some residents said it took 45minutes to drive from TableMountain Cableway to the Kloof-nek intersection, while othersjostled for a spot on Camps Bay orendured endless queues at popu-lar eateries.

The Waterfront estimates thatduring December alone it hadnearly three million visitors. Ta-ble Mountain Cableway recordeda new visitor record: “From 1 to31 December 116 000 visitorsmade use of the cableway, beatingthe previous record of 112 000 inDecember 2006,” says Collettevan Aswegen, Marketing Manag-er.

Table Mountain National Parkalso saw an upswing in tourists.Boulders beach saw a 29 percentincrease and Cape Point a 23 per-cent increase in tourism, saysPark spokespersonMerleCollins,adding : “We still don’t have thestats for the open access part ofthe park but all indications arethat there was an increase thisseason.”

And it was not just the touristshotspots that where crowded.Getting thereproved just asmuchan adventure, said traffic spokes-

person Merle Lourens.“Table Mountain Road proved

to be one of the busiest trafficspots, with the road being closedon occasion due to high trafficvolumes and no available park-ing”.

The same rang true for beachesacross the Cape, most notablyCamps Bay.

Lourens said there were appar-ently fewer motorists on the road,probably because many peoplemade use of buses and arrived byplane.

Cape Town International Air-port noted a sharp increase in vis-itors arriving by plane, althoughactual statistics across the boardare not yet available. Cape TownInternational Airport reportedan earlier start to the season witha 14 percent increase in interna-tional arrivals compared withNovember 2010. An 11,7 percentincrease was seen in regional ar-rivals and a 3,6 percent increasein domestic arrivals during No-vember. January and Februaryare traditionally peak months forinternational arrivals and asteady year-on-year increase ininternational tourists is expectedtoo.

Cape Town Tourism adds that:“Due to increased supply in theaccommodation sector, someCape Town hotels were not run-

ning at full capacity. However,many establishments on the At-lantic Seaboard, particularly inCamps Bay, as well as in the CityCentre were booked to capacitybetween Christmas and NewYear”.

Red City tour buses were run-ning at full capacity in Decemberand rental carswere fully booked.Councillor Grant Pascoe, mayor-al committee member, tourism,events and marketing, says thatalthough this season has beenbusy and an improvement on lastyear, “Cape Town is still not backto its 2008 boom figures”. He at-tributed this to a slump in the glo-bal economy from main sourcemarkets like Germany, Britainand America.

“The city has learned the im-portance of the domestic marketto sustain tourism numbers. Inaddition, the growing middleclass in South Africa is a very ac-cessible market for focus in thefuture.”

Pascoe adds that Cape Town’snumerous accolades in 2011 –World Design Capital, One of theNew Natural Wonders and beingnamed Tripadvisor’s number onedestination in 2011 – meant that“Cape Town is high on the priori-ty list for travellers and thosewith the resources to do so aremaking their way to our shores”.

PSA member makes a difference in educationAS PART of its back-to-schoolcampaign, Proudly South Afri-can has lauded three membercompanies making a positive dif-ference in education, the lives ofchildren and in job creation.

This week, People’s Post spoke toChanine Nel, owner of Rock Series,which specialises in supplyingschools with mathematics andreading program software fromGrades 0 to 10. Rock Series wasfounded in 2004 by Chanine, whowas inspired tomakeadifference inthe lives of the youth.

What products do you supplyto schools?

We create mathematics and read-ing programs for the children inSouth Africa. All lessons are ex-plained step by step in full colour

with audio, allowing the children towork in a stress-free environmentand even in the comfort of theirhome. The product range compris-es of mathematics, reading and anelectronic dictionary (with Zuluwords included) and several educa-tional games to stimulate growthand development.

We also have self-marking testswhich can assist parents withrecord keeping. We don’t know ofany other program in the world thathas all these three products pack-aged as one unit.

What is great about your pro-gram and business?

The Rock Series program enablesus to assist previously disadvan-taged schools and orphanages withtheir schooling academic needs andthis gives them the confidence to

grow into self assured children andpeople.

What are some of the high-lights of your business?

We had the honour of helpingNOAH (an Aids orphanage) along-side ABB, an international compa-ny.

Why did you join the ProudlySouth African campaign?

As a small business it is very im-portant to have the Proudly SouthAfrican brand behind us.

People in South Africa want toknow where products are made andwant to support locally made highquality products. South Africanparents want to know that South Af-rican developers understand thechallenges facing our children ineducation.

What are your goals for 2012?We would like to employ 10-20

more agents. If they each sell 10units they could earn R10 000-plusper month. In this way we can make

a positive impact on job creation inSA. Rock Series is also a part of the“93 000 jobs for Mandela Day’’ cam-paign and would like to create em-ployment through education.

HELPINGHAND: Some ofthe Rock Se­ries’ EasternCape salesagents, pro­moting theRock Series ed­ucational soft­ware at grass­roots. From leftare HlengiweMbatha, Mem­ory Sibanda,Khanya Ngemaand GeraldMoyo.

THE Proudly South African “BuyLocal” campaign has welcomednews that over 100 000 new jobswere created in December.

Reacting to the results of the Ad-corp Employment Index releasedrecently, Proudly SA CEO LeslieSedibe said: “We welcome the an-nouncement, given South Africa’scurrent unemployment figures andthe world economic climate. Let’sdo all we can as a nation to encour-

age this trend in 2012.”According to the index, 103 327

new jobs were created in December2011 – the fastest rate of growth innine months.

It’s also the first time since 2009that no sectors reported a decline inemployment. The index also showsthat all employment categories re-

ported growth in December, withthe fastest being temporary work(15 percent) and permanent jobs(six percent).

“Our campaign encourages con-sumers to buy local products anduse local services to help createjobs.

“In 2012, we continue to call on

South Africans to support localproducts. Let’s stand up as a nationand rekindle the passion behind lo-cal being ‘lekker’.

“Last year, Proudly South Afri-can also made a call to the industryto create 93 000 jobs as part of the‘93 000 Jobs for Mandela Day’ cam-paign.

Jobs boost given a thumbs-up “Today’s news is a fitting tributeto the legacy of Madiba,” said Sed-ibe.

Westridge Yankees flirt with relegationMARK WARD

FORMER national baseball starJason Jonathan remains stead-fast in his belief that theWestridgeYankeeswillnotberel-egated from the Major league.

The Yankees have lost 12 of theirlast 15 games and the Mitchell’sPlain based side is struggling in alldepartments.On Saturday thingsagain went awry for Jonathan in hisattempt to get his young side on thewinning track, when they were beat-en 1-11 by VOB at the Chukker Roadsports fields.

The team’s poor batting and shakypitching saw them being outplayedby a VOB team who looked deter-mined to make a serious challengefor the league title.

But Jonathan’s problems startedbefore the match, when only 10 play-ers arrived for the game.

“This is an example of our chal-lenges. Some players did not havetransport to the game,” said Jonath-an.“Another problem is that theplayers are young, and some are stu-dents. Others have jobs, and in manycases they have to work on Satur-days.”

Jonathan, who played for the na-tional team from 2000 to 2003, was en-trusted with the coaching duties atthe beginning of the season, and ithas been an uphill battle ever since.According to the former internation-al, the team’s lack of experience isone of the reasons for their poorform.“The second challenge is thatthere are not enough experiencedplayers around. We need manpower

in order to succeed with our futureplans,” said Jonathan.“The formergreat of the clubmustbe commendedfor maintaining the club’s compe-tiveness over the past 20 years sinceits establishment.

“ I know that they have always giv-en their best, but now it’s up to thenew group of players to continue thebattle in making this club the best inthe Western Province.”

Jonathan appealed to the team’s“former greats” to “come and lend ahand”.During the game, pitchersDean Martin (9hits) and LuwayneDu Plessis (5hits), found it tough tocontrol VOB’s batters. Adriaan Lan-geveldt (5hits) and Glen Josephs(2hits) shared the pitching for VOB.

Meanwhile, Athlone Athleticsbeat Bothasig 4-0 with Carl Michaelscredited with the shutout.

DETERMINED: Pat Jonathan and Jason Jonathan hope to pull theWestridge Yankees out of their slump and save them from relegation.

Grassboots achieves against all oddsLIAM MOSES

AT MOST football clubs, teachingyoung players skills on the field isthe most important objective, but

at Grassboots Football Club, in Vrede-hoek, teaching players skills to use in eve-ryday life is more important.

The club was formed in 2009 after chairmanStuart Diamond realised that there were nosoccer teams based in the Cape Town city cen-tre. The side has since grown into an impor-tant support system for young footballersfrom around Cape Town.

Many of the club’s players come from areassuch as The Kraal, Philippi, Mitchell’s Plainand Khayelitsha, and it is policy that no oneis turned away, even if they cannot afford topay membership or registration fees or ifthey do not have boots to play in.

“I started this club to create a facility forkids in the City Bowl and to create a projectwhere social change and social progresscould be carried out,” said Diamond.

“I believe that sport is a tool for change.That is why the club supports children whowould normally be turned away because theywon’t be able to pay fees. The club has a policythat those who can pay their fees must payand those who can’t or can only pay a smallamount will be supported.”

The club provides players with everythingthey need to play the game, including boots,

playing kit, as well as mentorship, advice andinformal life-skills training.

According to Diamond, the club startedproviding some of the players with meals.

However, despite these obstacles the clubhas grown exponentially in three years of ex-istance and has also racked up a few notable

achievements.Grassboots had only eight players at the

team’s first training in 2009. It currently hasover 150 members.

Last year the club fielded teams in eight dif-ferent age-groups, ranging from U7 to U17.They will be represented by a senior side for

the first time this year.According to Diamond, the club’s U15 side

won the First Division league title, while theunder U17 and U13 teams were both runners-up in their respective league and cup compe-titions.

But Diamond has stressed that winning ti-tles is not the objective of the team.

“We are a community soccer team thatwants to create an environment where kidscan feel safe, where they can express them-selves on the field and fall in love with thegame again,” said Diamond.

“The key for me as chairman is that wehave happy kids and happy parents. If a kidcomes to a game and they don’t walk awaysmiling then we have failed. And if a kid feelshappy then you will start to see the resultson the field. We teach the kids that winningand losing isn’t the important thing, sports-manship is”.

Diamond added that the team’s success canbe judged on the high level of participationfrom members of the community.

The club has made several other importantstrides since being formed. Three of theteam’s coaches have completed South Afri-canFootballAssociation courses and twooth-er have completed first aid courses.

Grassboots FC will be hosting an open dayon Saturday 28 January and anyone interest-ed in joining the club has been invited to at-tend. For further information please contactStuart Diamond on 082 387 7315.
