Homeless return to railTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Prasa has been blamed for not coming tothe party in fighting vagrancy on theirpremises.
The area known as Masakane is a hotspotfor homeless dwelling. The area along therailway line of Salt River and Woodstock hasbeen associated with crimes such as drugdealing, prostitution, robbery and assault.
In an effort to deal with the problem a jointoperation was held with the Woodstock po-lice, community police forum, law enforce-ment and security guards of the WoodstockImprovement District.
During the operation more than 44 people
were arrested for trespassing on Prasa prop-erty (“Prasa trespassers arrested”, People’sPost, 22 September). But the problem seemsto be far from over as more plastic makeshifthomes have been mushrooming.
Representatives of community police fo-rums and business owners in the vicinitysay Prasa is not doing anything to combatthe problem.
They have blamed Prasa for being all talkand no action. It is alleged that Prasa repre-sentatives promised to fence the area off anddeploy security guards with dogs. But noneof that has been done.
A concerned business person, who worksclose to the land, says he has tried to call Pra-sa several times to do something, but they
seem to be taking everything at a snail’space.
“We are the people who are affected bythis. They should put up a fence and a bigsign saying no trespassing. As long that isnot done, this problem won’t be solved andwe have to deal with the vandalism and bur-glary and the fear of being robbed each timewe go to the station.
“I have written to Prasa several times butwhat have they done? Nothing. We can’t goon like this. Yes, we admit there is a problemwith homelessness but this is not workingproperly and we can’t be watching our backsall the time because we don’t know whatthese people might be up to,” he says.
Youssef Kanouni, chairperson of the com-
munitypolice forum, sayshe is disappointedthat nothing was done by Prasa after the raidand that homeless people are going backthere.
“The area has been raided many times be-fore and it feels like we are fighting a losingbattle. Unless Prasa steps up and do whatthey say in meetings we are just wasting ourenergy. It’s like we are just pouring wateron sand and hope to get something in return.We are just wasting time. Prasa promised tofence the area and put guards there but noth-ing of that has been done. The area is prob-lematic and we can’t solve the problem withempty words. Prasa needs to step up,” hesays.V Continued on page 2

GARDEN VILLAGE
Fun beats cancerat community dayTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Maitland Garden Village residents had afun fair this weekend and learnt about
speaking up about breast cancer in the pro-cess.
October is Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth. The organisers saw it fit to hold thisevent so that they could educate membersof their community about the disease in afun way.
The fun fair was held at the Garden Vil-lage sports field on Saturday. The day wasofficially opened by ward councillor BrianWatkyns.
Themainmessagewas that people shouldnot keep to themselves when they had can-cer because therewerepeople out therewhocould help them. Not only that, they couldalso live life to the fullest, no matter what.
The event included fun games, food, mu-sic, modelling and learning about breastcancer and how to beat it.
Children had several rides to choose fromto enjoy the day.
Those who attended the event were alsotold about the importance of early detectionand screening.
Charnell Southgate, the event organiserwho is also a cancer survivor, says mostpeople who are diagnosed with cancer arenot open enough, making it difficulty forthem to get help.
“We really care for people with cancerand we don’t want them to feel like they arealone.“People came out to share their stories on
cancer and to encourage others that therewas still life after being diagnosedwith can-cer. I’m a cancer survivor, so I want otherpeople to be positive and be aware of the dis-ease.“Most people, when they are diagnosed,
don’t speak out and they don’t get the neces-sary help, but, above all, it has to come fromwithin to fight it. One has to make a choicehow to take it on when you are diagnosed.
“So we held this event to encourage eachother and to support each other and, aboveall, to make people know the importance ofspeaking out and being aware of what tolook for,” she says.
Candice Afrika, who attended the event,said it was well organised and there werea lot of things to learn about.
“It just wasn’t about taking kids out andhaving fun; we learnt a lot. Andwe also hadto do our part in supporting those who aresuffering from cancer and to support thosewho have won the battle.
“We are all here for each other; peoplehave to reach out.“We really appreciate having such events
and we hope we will have them all the time,because they bring togetherness and ithelps us show that we care for one anotherin one way or the other,” she said.

Mural for better play timeTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Pupils of Chapel Street Primary School inWoodstock were blown away by the new
work of art on the walls close to their playarea when they went back to school yester-day.Last week staff members of MySchool
MyVillage MyPlanet got their hands dirtyandmixed colours to come up with some artthat would last forever and cheer the chil-dren up as they play.The school is part of the community of
learning principals and actively engaged inthe Symphonia for SouthAfricaPartners forPossibility initiative, which is supported byMySchool MyVillage MyPlanet. As a “Part-ner for Possibility” school, the school hasbeen partnered with Woolworths FinancialServices to support and assist the school ho-listically with things like staff developmentand training, physical resources and staffvolunteer projects.Three months ago the volunteers planted
a garden and they noticed other things thatcould be done to improve the school premis-es and make it friendlier.They have now painted a mural close to
the garden. The theme of themural is “Com-munity and Garden” to promote diversityand community involvement and to instil asense of pride in pupils, teachers and par-ents.The mural includes rainbow colours, a
man, child, vegetables and animals – sym-bols of things they wish for the garden andthe school as a whole.Helene Brand, marketing manager of My-
school MyVillageMyPlanet, says they wantto create a sense of pride.“We want everyone to take better care of
the school. By doing this everyone will feelproud to be associated with the school andwill want to domore to look after it.Wewantto create a space for everyone to be proud
of in the community. We want everyone towork together to improve the image of theschool.“When we did the garden we saw that the
wall looked old and it was just plain face-brick. We thought we should do something.This is the area where the kids play, so theymust enjoy their space,” she says.Apart from the garden and the mural My-
School is also helping out in other ways thatthe school might need.Brand says theywant it to be a long-lasting
partnership.“We want this to work out for long, not to
come today and disappear. We have to do aproper needs analysis and hear what it is
that they need the most. Then we help them.None of what has been done was done in iso-lation, the school has been involved and wewant everyone to come together,” saysBrand.MySchool works with more than 8000
schools and the organisation wishes to helpmore schools. Thosewhowant to participatein improving schools can signup for free andselect up to three schools or charities theywant to support. Each time they shop at part-ner stores some of themoney they spendwillbe donated to schools.Those who want to sign up can fill in a

Plastic is ‘gold’for the disabledTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Some peoplemight regard a bread tag andthe bread plastic bag as useless, not
knowing it is full of mobility for others.A bread tag and plastic bag, if collected
and recycled, enables people to get wheel-chairs.AGood Samaritanwho has beenworking
for the Bread Tag Foundation for the pasteight years knows the potential and has giv-en people in her area another lease on life.Karen Andriaanse donated three wheel-
chairs to residents of Factreton and Ken-sington last week. She says it was as simpleas collecting bread tags and plastic bags.The money that’s obtained from recyclingthem bought wheelchairs.“People take these two (a bread tag and
plastic bag) for granted, not knowing thatsomeone’s life depends on it. By puttingthem together other people are able to liveindependently because they are given theirmobility back when they get a wheelchair.It really makes me happy that I’m able tocontribute positively to the people in mycommunity,” she says.One recipient, Michael Fisher from Sun-
derland Street, was ecstatic that he couldmove around again and be outdoors.“I was a vendor and a freak accident left
me unable to walk. I’m so happy that withthis wheelchair I got I will be able to movearound and go to the shops on my own. It’snot easy having to rely on other people todo things for you, but I’m glad this is anoth-er chance to live life to the fullest,” he says.“Each tag, as useless as it may seem, is
gold to someone who cannot walk. I encour-age members of the community to make a
difference and help me to collect bread tagsand bread plastic bags,” says Andriaanse.Andriaanse did it as part of a Peace Build-
ers project. She was amongst 20 people whograduated from the programme at the endof last month. She says the programme hasopened her eyes.“To deal with things you must first have
inner peace. I want to spread that messageamongst other people in my community.”V Those who want to drop off bread tags and breadplastic bags can call Andriaanse on 084 805 8254.

Direct claimant EdwinaMakgamatha is a survivor of ahit-and-run accident that nearlyclaimed her life and left herpartner seriously injured. To thisday, the driver who caused thehorrific accident five years ago onthe notorious Mabopane Highwayoutside Pretoria, resulting inthe car rolling several times, isunknown.
Edwina heeded RAF’s call to approachthe Fund directly, thus ensuring theirclaim was handled quicker and that theyreceived their full settlement, withouthaving to pay any legal fees. Thanks tothe RAF’s compassionate and professionalhandling of their case, they receivedfull compensation and were granted anundertaking certificate to cater for theirfuture health needs and requirements.
For her physical needs, the RAF ensuredthat Edwina received all mobility disabilitydevices she required such as a wheelchair,a bath bench and pressure mattresses.Furthermore, her home was modified tomake it more accessible for wheelchairuse, while hand controls were installed inEdwina’s car, allowing her to regain herindependence once again.
The 30-year-old mother of two underwenta long and gruelling rehabilitation. Not onlydid she have to deal with accepting herphysical injuries but also with the massive
psychological and emotional traumawhen she realised that she would neverwalk again. However, Edwina credits herrecovery to the enormous psychologicaland emotional support the RAF caregiversprovide.
Today, Edwina has victoriously turnedher pain into a new mission in life – sheis making a difference in the lives ofmany left paralysed by road crashes,especially those living in townships whereservices for the disabled remain poor.Her company, Thusanang (meaning ‘tohelp one another’), has forged close tieswith numerous manufacturers of mobilitydisability products and along with herspecially trained caregivers, refers themfor home and car modifications. She doesmotivational talks, visits rehab centres,supplies medical consumables, and is evenestablishing a driving school for disabledpeople!
“The RAF has not only given me supportduring a hectic period but has alsoassisted me to establish my business,” shesaid. “When I was young, I wanted to bea nurse, and I feel what I’m doing nowis the closest thing to achieving mydream.”
Edwina can be contacted on011 – 453 0480.
For more details about RAF’s services, contact the Call Centre on0860 23 55 23, from Monday to Friday between 07h45 and 16h00.

Holidaystudy amemoryboostTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
A Kensington academy for holiday pro-grammes, recently hosted pupils of
Blackheath, Malibu and Sarepta highschool at a two-day school holiday pro-gramme at the National Youth Develop-ment Agency (Nyda) in Cape Town.B-All TrainingAcademy organised train-
ing inmemory skills, to improve thepupils’abilities to process information for theirstudies.The pupils received language training as
well with an emphasis on developing goodreading skills. They were also equippedwith skills on how to study and memorisefor their exams to achieve good results.Many pupils in impoverished areas are
seldom exposed to opportunities like these,says Bradley de Kock, founder of B-AllTraining Academy.“It is our way of giving back to the com-
munity. Holiday programmes help thoselagging behind and those who need assist-ance to learn more,” he says.During theprogramme the 24pupilswere
given refreshments. Nyda provided thetraining venue for free.Nadine Michaels, a Grade 11 pupil of
Blackheath High School, says “the contentwas informative, innovative and inspir-ing”.Sonja Moodie, a teacher, says the energy
at the holiday programmewas positive andvibrant. The training was filled with lots oflearning and balanced with practical exer-cises to support the theory.
Pupils fromthree highschoolsrecentlyattended aholidayprogrammeand weretaught bettermemory andreading skills.

Our lives have become intrinsically linked with technolo-gy.
We would never dream of leaving the house without acellphone. Not feeling the weight of one in your pocketleaves you feeling vulnerable, naked.
Whilewe’remore connected thaneverbefore,we’ve for-gotten how to actually connect with those around us.
How often do you sit around a table with friends, withat least one person (if not all of them) glued to theirphones?
Cellphones take prized place next to the bed, are alwayskept on full volume and can’t be ignored, even while driv-ing – or at least that’s how we behave.
But when did we forget our manners?When did it become socially acceptable to ignore your
dinner company to reply to a text message or to answeremails while in a meeting?
And surely switching your phone off during an event,concert, movie, wedding or church service should be abasic courtesy.
Yet we regularly find little Tommy’s solo in the schoolplay, the romantic love scene of the latest blockbuster oreven the vows of a bride and groom interrupted by thechirping of a phone.
What does it say about us as a society that money hasto be spent on advertising to ensure cellphones are turnedoff before a movie and priests have to start sermons byasking that cellphones be switched off?
It speaks to a lack of respect for others that we can’teven manage simple cellphone etiquette.
But really, it should be quite simple – if you wouldn’ttalk during the event, others shouldn’t hear your cell-phone.
It’s a courtesy that we should expend without thinking,as simple as saying please or thank you.
So please turn off your cellphone. Thank you.
I am one of ‘those’I lived in a shack made of metal sheets,wood and plastic.
I remember how my mother made food– of which there was never secondhelpings – on a primus stove if she andmy dad got some money and other times,which were mostly, my mother cookedfood on an open fire.
My clothes were always broken anddirty. Now and then I would get a pairof shoes either too small or too big, butit was my shoes. Every morning my dadwould take his trolley, which he some-how got from a supermarket, and withhis thin, dirty clothes and broken shoesleave our shack – our home – to skuddle.
I would later learn what the word“skuddle” meant for my parents and forus children. Every day and night foryears I and my family used the sameblankets, which got thinner and moretorn year after year.
I would play with children around mealso living in shacks and I knew noother way. I thought this was how onewas supposed to live.
At age six I saw some children put ona set of neat clothing they would call aschool uniform and walk for miles to aschool to “get educated”. When I askedmy mother when was I going to beeducated, she would tell me “One daywhen there is money” and when theywould get a cement and brick housefrom the government.
At age seven I was taken by my dad tohelp him skuddle. We walked out of therickety fence surrounding our informalsettlement and I was so proud, so excitedto go with my daddy to work, to skuddleand so contribute to our survival and tocurb the ever-lingering hunger pains.
We came to big, beautiful brick houseswith big tarred roads, big fences andeverywhere there were shiny cars.Everywhere fat little children my agewere playing and sounding happy inbeautiful, neat clothes.
To me this was like another worldand, with all the lawns and parks andtarred roads, I thought this was heaven.I then saw bins standing on the pave-ments and dad explained to me that “die
ryk mense” (the rich people) place theirgarbage and dirt in these bins. In thesebins were goodies: Items my dad wouldscratch out and place in his trolley.
The bins had all kinds of smells,mostly unpleasant, but this did not determy daddy. This was skuddle.
I will never forget how I innocentlywaved and smiled at the uncle and theaunties behind the fences of thesebeautiful homes. To my shock I wasignored as if I was a pest, a disease.
But a very few greeted my dad andhanded him a few items of clothing andsome bread. My dad and others of ourcommunity had to hurry before thetrucks came to empty the bins.
With my dad’s guidance I helped heapor load plastic, cardboard and metalpieces onto our trolley. In some bins mydad found some clothing and now I knewwhere my “new” clothing came from.
At the end of the skuddle we went tothe nearest scrapyard and my dad gotR53 for his goods. We went to a shopand Dad bought a half loaf of bread, atin of fish, four loose cigarettes for himand Mom, R7 French polony and alollipop for me.
Now, years later, I own my owntrolley and I do my own skuddle. When Isee a piece of newspaper lying around Iadmire the pictures but the words meannothing to me as I cannot read and yet Ilive in a beautiful country with awonderful concept that is the Constitu-tion that states all citizens are equal, sothe people and the politicians say. And Ihear people preached that in the BibleJesus stated very clearly that one mustlove one’s neighbour as one lovesoneself, and I also hear in our democrat-ic South Africa we have freedom ofmovement and freedom of association,but yet I am called “those people”.
Then my prayer is that you who livein brick homes, who have work, whohave bank accounts and are educated,you or your children will never wear myshoes or my clothing and live where Ilive.

‘Lovelylanguage’ ismarginalisedWe recently celebrated Heritage Monthand Day as a rich, proud nation ofdiversity, the rainbow nation with itseleven languages.
It should not just be a day to take offfrom work but to celebrate our trueidentity, our upbringing, our patriotism,traditions, cultures.
I was born in the lovely town ofUpington in the Northern Cape, aprovince rich with culture and blessedwith the most friendly people.
It is where Afrikaans is proudlyspoken. Where people speak the languagelike poetry. So, it is part of my culture,my upbringing and tradition.
Over the last decade or so I have cometo realise with alarm that this lovelylanguage is being marginalised, especial-ly at schools. If a parent wants to enroltheir child whose home language isAfrikaans, they have limited options.
They are then indirectly forced to puttheir children in English-speakingclasses. This then forces the child to notbe confident in class, to feel overwhelmedand struggle and in some cases it is acontributing factor to the drop-out figure.
In Mitchell’s Plain, for example, thereare very few Afrikaans classes forentry-level education and some parentshave to look outside the area. I am quitesure the department knows about thesituation but “fiddles while Rome burns”and want to be politically correct.
I read that the department wants tointroduce Mandarin as well as anAfrican language into the school sylla-bus, which is good if it makes ourchildren more marketable but not at theexpense of other equally importantlanguages.
Let us be accommodating in our proudheritage in our quest for true nationbuilding.

From the beginning of this month the buri-al hours at Maitland, Welmoed and Khaye-litsha cemeteries have been extended onSaturdays and Sundays.This is being done for a trial period of six
months.The purpose of the extension is to accom-
modate more burials over the weekend, toprovide amore dignified service in the bus-iest cemeteries and to avoid congestion be-tween noon and 14:00.The extended hours will be on Saturdays
from 08:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays fromnoon to 15:00.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee
member for community services and spe-cial projects, says about 1000 burials amonth take place in Cape Town cemeteries.Saturday is the much preferred day for
funerals at the City’s cemeteries.“We want our cemeteries to be quiet and
dignified spaces where people can congre-gate to bury and mourn their loved ones.But with so many funerals taking place onthe same day, this is no easy task. I believethat the extension of the burial bookinghours on Saturdays at our three largestcemeteries will go a long way towards ad-dressing this challenge,” says Walker.Sunday morning burials for specific de-
nominations will still apply.

ciation was announced in Romelast week.WACE comprises six of the most
prestigious and largest mass par-ticipation events in the world,namely:. Cape Town Cycle Tour, theworld’s largest timed cycling event.TDFiveBoroBike Tour, the onlyclosed road mass participation cy-cling event in New York City, with32 000 participants. Vatternrundan in Sweden, thelongest and oldest mass participa-tion cycling event in the worldwith more than 6m kilometres rid-den each year. L’Etape du Tour, one of the mostbeautiful and toughest races rid-den over a stage of the Tour deFrance. RideLondon, the world’s largestfestival of cycling with more than95 000 riders on traffic-free roads inLondon and Surrey. Granfondo Campagnolo Roma, a
unique cycling experience inRomestarting in front of the ColosseumWACE has been formed to pro-
mote and increase cycling world-wide. With more than 200 000 par-ticipants from 90 countries riding
inWACEevents eachyear, theneworganisation should inspire newriders to take up the challenge ofcycling and to encourage riders totravel to participate in otherworld-class cycling events.
“It is a very exciting time for cy-cling with such rapid growth in in-terest and participation,” saidHugh Brasher, president of WACEandevent director forRideLondon.More major international cy-
cling events are set to join WACEand the association is planning thecreation of the “WACE challenge”with awards to riders who takepart in multiple WACE events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour is
extremely excited and proud to beassociated with the founding ofWACE,” said David Bellairs, di-rector of the Cape Town CycleTour.“It is indeed an honour to be as-
sociated with this grouping of theworld’s most prestigiousmass par-ticipation cycling events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour has
the promotion of cycling at its coreand the raising of money for chari-ty as key drivers, while at the sametime promoting Cape Town as adestination for cyclists across theglobe.“Working with the amazing
group of events will certainly as-sist us in achieving our aims. Be-ing able to share ideas and know-ledge with event organisers global-ly can only lead to betterexperiences for those participat-ing. It is wonderful that as a resultof the international reach ofWACE, more cyclists from all overthe world will now get to learnabout and discover other events incountries from as far afield asSouth Africa.”

JOSEPH PILLAY
A sizzling volley, 25 yards from goal bydefender Lwandile Soboyise liftedYoung Idols to its maiden Coca-Cola
Cup crown at the Athlone Stadium on Satur-day.TheManenberg outfit waswrapped in glo-
ry after 90minutes of thrilling soccer as theysaw off an equally determined Milan United2-1 in the lucrative Safa Cape Town knock-out competition.The competition is modelled after the
iconic English FA Cup, attracting 532 ama-teur teams throughout the region.Young Idols’ ability to show off its prow-
ess, in which the team members dished upsome silky moves, probably signified theirhunger andwillingness to produce the goodsto walk away as champions.Milano United was not completely out of
it, but the team was not as effective as itsYoung Idols counterpart, playing good soc-cer, but in thewrongareas.Wheneventuallygiven the opportunity to score twice throughstriker Fawaaz Basadien, they failed to con-vert their chances into goals.That squared chances in which their
coach Desmond Crowie shook his head invain.The boys in the white and green shirts
were spurred on by the brass band from theManenberg community. Like a 12th man,the band lifted the players. The moment of
magic arrived in the 73rd minute whenLwandile Soboyise put up his hand, whizzedpast the first two defenders before turninghis body in and out of the next fourmarkers.He thenunleashed from25mavolley that leftMilano United’s custodian Kyle Johnsonclutching invisible straw.That turned out to be the decisive match-
winner that had theR35000 prize and the tro-phy engraved in Young Idols’ name on a ped-estal.While Crowie and hisMilano players’ nos-
es were left buried in the turf – shocked anddisappointed, they still earned R20 000.The three Coca-Cola Cup finals:
