Road plan ‘outdated’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A road scheme which wouldsee Lower Main Road wid-ened may be shelved.

This as the City of Cape Town’stransport department has startedto review approved road schemes.Those which are no longer need-

ed – which are sterilising propertyand stunting development – are be-ing withdrawn.According to a recent report to

Subcouncil 15, the road schemewas initiated in the 1950s with theintention of widening the road to19 metres.When the future need for the

Lower Main Road scheme was re-viewed, it was found that althoughwidening the road would improvetraffic congestion, it would have anegative impact on the character ofthe area.In a recent heritage audit, 90% of

the erven affected by the roadscheme were found to be conserva-tion worthy and the road has anumber of buildings which areconsidered to “contribute to thecharacter of the area”, the reportstates.The proposed widening affects

135 erven, of which 129 are private-ly owned.Observatory Civic Association

chairperson Marc Turok says theproposal to widen the road hasbeen strongly challenged over theyears.“We were long ago led to believe

that the negative road wideningtravestywill not be imposed onOb-servatory. Observatory will standfirm to protect its heritage and richcharacter that is still recoveringfrom the threats and neglect of thepast.”Having this “long dead propos-

al” withdrawn will be positive,Turok insists.“We would think it a positive

thing that huge setbacks are nolonger imposed on existing build-

ings. Some existing setbacksshould not be reinstated, where ex-tra parking is available at present.These should be retained sinceparking is in such short supply,”he says.The organisation has proposed

various ideas for the use of LowerMain Road, Turok says.“I believe the most promising is

to restrict parking to an absoluteminimum where the road is nar-row and to permit it on one side on-

ly where it is intermediate width.The few wide portions could haveparking on both sides. It makessense to make particular parts ofLower Main Road into pedestrianfriendly streets where pedestriansget right of way onwell marked pe-destrian crossings at all times,” hesays.Most of Observatory is an Urban

Conservation Zone, Turok ex-plains.“While properties may not be

frozen by out of date street widen-ing ideas, they are firmly limitedby a need to preserve the characterof the area and the heritage. Devel-opment remains limitedand just asthe people of Observatory stoppedroad widening through LowerMain Road, we will stop inappro-priate development that attemptsto use it as an excuse,” he says.Mayoral Committee member for

Transport Brett Herron says if thewithdrawal is approved, it will

have a positive impact on the pro-tection of the historical characterof the area. “The positive interfaceof buildings along the road will al-so be enhanced and retained and itwould encourage repairs, mainte-nance and upgrades to the fronts ofthe existing buildings. The with-drawal of the road scheme is in ac-cordance with various forwardplanning initiatives like the Ob-servatoryPolicyPlanand themorerecent Table Bay District Plan.”

SAFETY

More road deaths onpay day weekendsTwelve people die on average every pay dayweekend on the province’s roads alone.This is according toDonaldGrant, provin-

cial minister of transport and public works.Analyses of this year’s fatalities data indi-

cates that road deaths on pay day weekendsspike by asmuchas 23.6%compared to otherweekends.“While, on average, 3.6 people are killed

every day on Western Cape roads, this risesto an average of 6.2 people per day over payday weekends,” he says.Last month was the worst weekend re-

corded this year, with 26 fatalities over theweekend of 1 August.The following pay day weekend, which

started on 29 August, saw a further 20 peoplekilled, Grant confirms.He advises motorists, pedestrians and

road users to not become another statisticby taking the necessary precautions.

“Do not mix alcohol and road use,” Grantwarns.“Driving orwalking on the roadswhile in-

toxicated is a quick way to an early grave.Use public transport if you intend drinkingalcohol.”If you are travelling in a vehicle, always

wear your seatbelt and never exceed thespeed limit, he continues.“Exercise extreme caution while driving

onFridays from 18:00 untilmidnight, on Sat-urdays from 06:00 until 10:00, on Saturdaysfrom 18:00 until 04:00 and on Sundays from15:00 until 21:00.”Greater mobility and increased access to

alcohol are reflected in spikes in the deathrate over pay day weekends, Grant adds.“While further data analysis is required

to isolate all of the factors involved, the pub-lic iswarned to please exercise extra cautionover this time.”

Call for humane slaughterof sacrificial animalsWith the annual Islamic celebration ofEid-ul-adha (Eid of Sacrifice) days away,guidelines for humane slaughtering havebeen issued.This is according to a statement by the

Cape ofGoodHopeSPCA,whichalso saysthe celebration takes place between Fri-day 3 and Monday 6 October.The SPCA is calling on those planning

to slaughter sheepor cattle to follow theseguidelines to ensure the animals do notsuffer unnecessarily.According to the Animals Protection

Act (No.71 of 1962):. All animalsmust be confined in such

a manner that allows them adequatespace, ventilation, shelter, food and wa-ter;

. No animal should be picked up by itsfleece, dragged, chased or prodded;

. Animals should be restrained hu-manely while being transported andwhen being slaughtered;

. No animal should be tied by its legswith bailing twine and crammed into theback of car boots or laid on their sides onthe back of bakkies;

.When due to be slaughtered, animalsshould be laid on their sides and not ontheir backs to avoid distress. Animalsshould also not be forced to stand or kneelduring slaughter;

. Knives used for the slaughter mustalso remain extremely sharp so that theslaughtering remains as humane as pos-sible;

. Only experienced people should per-form the slaughtering. Inexperienced laypersons who attempt to perform theslaughters often cause horrific trauma

and pain to the animal.The SPCA advises individuals and

groups who are inexperienced, but wantto participate in Qurbani, to contact theSPCA inspectorate on (021) 700 4158/59 orafter hours on 083 326 1604 for referral tosuch establishments.Anyone who wishes to perform Qurba-

ni at their residential premises are urgedto ensure that animals are slaughteredhumanely by an experienced person andmust obtain permission from their localCity of Cape Town environmental healthoffice.The SPCA strongly discourages the

slaughter of cattle in places without ade-quate infrastructure to adequately re-strain the animals prior to slaughter.The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC),

the Halaal Trust and local farm ownershave once again collectively committedto ensure Eid-ul-adha is held not only inaccordancewith theMuslim religion andculture, but also in accordance with thelaw. “We would like to extend our grati-tude to theMJCand farmowners for theirwillingness to work together to ensurethat all animals are treated with respectand compassion during this time,” saysMoyo Ndukwana, SPCA inspectoratemanager.SPCA inspectors will be stationed at

Qurbani farms to ensure animals are sac-rificed humanely and will encourage andoffer to pre- or post-stun animals to facili-tate this.They will also be monitoring the trans-

portation, handling andhousing of the es-timated 5 000 animals destined forslaughter as part of this festival.

KENSINGTON

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Kensington police are cracking downon drug use and gang activity amongpupils in the precinct.

The station will start carrying out regu-lar raids at Kensington High and Winder-mere Secondary to prevent gang recruit-ment and related crimes, says station com-mander Lieutenant-Colonel BerniceJosephs.“We’re focusing on juveniles through the

school searches, as often gangs recruit at ahigh school level. We find gangs often useyouth in criminal activity such as tradingdrugs because they [the juveniles] face alesser sentence if caught,” she says.The police strive to createmore visibility

at schools, says Josephs.“We will be carrying out unannounced

searches at the schools because we find somany pupils are using drugs. Pupils asyoung as 14 are handling firearms. We ar-rest juveniles daily for crimes such as theftand carrying dangerous weapons.”Kensington High principal Trevor

Jacobs says it is difficult to establish if chil-dren have any gang affiliation. “The pupilsmay formgroups, but one can’t say they arepart of a gang without any proof,” he says.Jacobs says the school is tackling sub-

stance abuse. “Many pupils are from a sin-gle parent homeand there is no supervisionafter school or monitoring of school work.This means the pupils are exposed to allkinds of things and come to class unpre-pared, which causes disruptions,” he says.Craig Lenny, principal of Windermere

Secondary, was not available for commentat the time of going to print.Provincial education department

spokesperson Jessica Shelver says safe andsecure learning environments are essentialif teachers are to ensure quality educationis beingdelivered. “It is imperative that ourschools remain weapon-, drugs- and alco-hol-free zones. These searches by the policeform part of our broader campaign to im-prove safety in our schools. The depart-ment is working in conjunction with theCity of Cape Town and police,” she says,adding similar action is taking place acrossthe province.Hundreds of these searches are carried

out by police and act as a strong deterrentto pupils, says Shelver.

“We are also encouraging schools to con-duct their own search-and-seize operationsat schools, should they reasonably suspectany [pupils] carrying dangerous weapons.In January 2011, the newWesternCape Pro-vincial School Education Act was passedwhich provides the clearly defined right toconduct search-and-seize operations atschools,” she says.Kensington High frequently carries out

drug tests, says Jacobs. “If a pupil tests posi-tive, we send them for counselling.”The education department refers pupils

for counselling following a detox pro-gramme and also runs drug preventioncampaigns, Shelver says. “Drug educationis included in Life Orientation and ensuresthat [pupils] acquire age- and context-ap-propriate knowledge and skills, in order forthem to adopt and maintain life skills andbehaviour that will protect them from druguse, misuse and dependency.”

Hard lessons learnt


SALT RIVER

Burn the fat,feed the childNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Leading a healthy lifestyle does not onlymean that you must go to the gym. Atleast, this is what Garth Hendricks, a

fitness trainer at a Salt River gym, says.This gym not only helps its members lose

weight but ensures that children also get ahealthymeal served to thematObservatoryJunior School.Hendricks lives in Rondebosch East and

believes healthy living begins at an earlyage. This inspired him to donate the pro-ceeds from a fitness boot camp to the Penin-sula School Feeding Association.The “Burn the Fat, Feed the Child” chari-

ty boot camp raised overR8 000 for theNPO.Hendricks says: “I feel the need to have

a greater responsibility in a local context sothe surrounding community can benefitfrom our fitness centre. As a small businessowner, I truly believewe should dowhatwecan to help others, with a focus on addingmorevalue to people’s lives and sharing oursuccess,” he says.“They say that tens of thousands of chil-

dren go to school hungry every day.Through the association, it only takes R395to feed one child for a full year.”In short, this initiative is about improv-

ing people’s lives from an early age on-wards.

“Giving to charity is fitness with a pur-pose. People join my classes with a need,and most of the time it is for body transfor-mation or weight loss. This, however, is theby-product of improved strength and fit-ness, whichmost people don’t understand.”This means that some participants feel

like giving up.“But focusing on a cause other than your-

self is just another way of helping you stickto your exercise plan and goal. The bestwayto expose people to an exercise programmeand get them to commit to it is to get theirminds off their issue of weight loss or look-ing good, by giving to others in need in ex-change for movement,” he says.After the strong support shownathis first

boot camp, Hendricks plans to run severalmore to support various charities.“In two weeks we enrolled 21 people, all

complete newbies to the programme. Thecharity drive was the first of its kind. Wewill continue to find better ways to giveback to our communities and in largerquantities. We plan to donate towards help-ingwomenwith breast cancer next andwillbe enrolling 100 people,” he says.The R300 feewill go towards a cancer sup-

port organisation of the gym’s choice, Hen-dricks says.V The 45minute boot camp classes will take placeevery Saturday at 08:00 and 09:30, starting in November. Contact on (021) 447 1806 or 074 187 9869.

Prepare your small businessfor new BEE regulationsCurrent Black Economic Empowermentrules will fall away in the new year.And, says a statement, companies hop-

ing to qualify for the maximum numberof BEE points will need to rethink theirapproach.A key change involves a new focus on

supplier development.Roche Mamabolo, a business mentor

who is passionate about entrepreneur-ship development, looks at how entre-preneurs can prepare their business.As from 30 April 2015 the amended B-

BBEE codes come into effect. These newcodes provide a wealth of opportunitiesand greater access to markets for entre-preneurs.“But formany of the entrepreneurswe

assist through our programmes, capaci-ty is the biggest constraint they face,”says Mamabolo.In many cases corporates have not

made use of small and medium enter-prises (SMEs) because they don’t havethe capacity to deliver the quantitiesthat large organisations require, hesays.So how can entrepreneurs prepare?

The first step is to ensure you do yourhomework.Research the corporate youwant to ap-

proach.Howmuch do they traditionally spend

in your area? How can you get onto theirsupplier database? What sort of services– and how much – do they require?For example, if your business makes

car seats and you want to supply to alarge carmanufacturer, you first need toestablish how many cars they produce ayear – and therefore how many seatsyou’d need to be able to supply.You will also need to understand their

turnaround time and technical specifi-cations, says Mamabolo.In addition you need to think about

your pricing and how you’d manage theadministrative and logistical aspects.Howwill youdeliver the goods?Howwillyou make sure you have enough equip-ment and people to fulfil an order?In short, you have to take a detailed

proposal to the corporate.

You will also need to help them under-stand what they’d need to do to help youfulfil the capacity they require. For ex-ample, be able to say: “For us to be yoursupplier we’d need three new machines,four more staff members and biggerpremises. This is our proposal with a de-tailed budget.”The corporates, in turn, need to feel a

level of comfort with you as the supplier.To assure them you will need to demon-strate that this is not a new endeavourfor you and that you are a serious busi-ness.Do you have experience in their field?

Haveyou ever done a similar job?Doyouhave references? Are you accredited inyour industry or SABS/ ISO9000 ap-proved?A further consideration relates to

what your business does.To qualify for supplier development

assistance your service or product needsto be core to the supply chain and essen-tial for the corporate’s business practice.For example, for a drink manufactur-

er, the core elements could include thebottles, the raw ingredients in the prod-uct and the labels.Another consideration for small busi-

nesses – as not all will be able to meetthe criteria and be chosen by a large cor-porate – is to see where else they can fitin.For example, if 20 businesses apply

and the corporate only chooses five, howcan the other 15 support those five? Isthere room for another supply chain tobe created?While these B-BBEE changes are new

to the South African situation similarapproaches have been taken successful-ly in other parts of the word.In Japan small enterprises have been

able to grow and develop through suchlegislation, allowing them to become glo-bal industry suppliers.“I believe if corporate South Africa

takes these changes to the codes onboard it will help to drive the growth ofmore and more small businesses, createjobs and, in turn, improve competitive-ness.”

Woodstock, Walmer Estate andUniversity Estate residents havebeenwarned to be on the lookout

for a large man impersonating as a U-Watch Neighbourhood Watch member.U-Watch chairperson Andrew Geel

says: “We have had reports of a man try-ing to gain access to people’s houses forproperty valuations to be carried out forthe bank. He claims to represent U-Watch.”U-Watch represents the neighbour-

hoods of Walmer Estate, Upper Wood-stock and University Estate.No U-Watch member will ever try, or

need to, gain access to your house, Geelwarns.The Woodstock police says they are

not aware of a con artist operating in thearea, says spokesperson Sergeant HiltonMalila.“We have not received any formal

complaints from the community. Wewant to urge the community to reportany suspicious looking people directly tous so that we can investigate and deploymembers to arrest the culprit.

“The sooner we receive this kind of in-formation, the sooner we can act and dif-fuse a situation,” he says.Anyone attempting to enter a property

can be verified by contacting the zonemanagers for U-Watch, he says.“Please don’t ever let anyone of whom

you are unsure enter into your house.Don’t ever mention that you might bealone. Ask them to verify themselves,anddouble check their information thor-oughly, or tell them to make an officialappointment with you for another datethrough official channels,” he advises.Residentsmust please be careful not to

let an unknown person onto the proper-ty, Malila warms.“You must at all times ask for identifi-

cation. All the members of a registeredneighbourhood watch are issued withidentification cards that they must havein their possession at all times when onduty.“If an imposters operates within the

Woodstock precinct, we want to knowabout it immediately. We are also goingto brief members on daily patrols to beon the lookout for any suspicious-look-ing persons and to do more stop-and-search patrols.”


UTILITY SERVICES

Smoke signalssystem efficacyUp to R35m could be saved by the City ofCape Town thanks to a new smoke detectiontechnology system.

The method detects illegal stormwaterand sewer cross-connections.

Testing was conducted in various parts ofthe city and under different conditions todetermine the system’s efficacy last week,council officials say.

Mayoral Committee member for UtilityServices Ernest Sonnenberg says the meth-od is ready for use in detecting illegal dis-charges into the sewerage system.

“The introduction of the smoke testingtechnology is likely to result in significantsavings for the ratepayer,” he says.

The system involves pumping smoke intothe local sewerage system to locate inappro-priate stormwarter admissions into thesewerage system.

“Previously it was not possible to detector pinpoint where this was taking placewithout canvassing a large number of prop-erties. Now Water and Sanitation officialscan simply walk down the street and notethe location of these cross-connectionsbased on the presence of plumes of smoke,”Sonnenberg says.

If unsanctioned connections are foundthe property owners will be given a compli-ance order to rectify the matter within astipulated period.

Those who do not comply will be fined interms of the Wastewater Bylaw.

“Illegal connections are problematic be-cause especially during wet weather excesswater can stretch the capacity of the waste-water conveyance systems. Not only canthis result in overflows, but the City’swastewater treatment plants are beingforced to process water that otherwiseshould not have been treated,” Sonnenbergexplains. “Limiting the amount of waterthat is unnecessarily treated every yearwill improve the quality of effluent that en-ters the environment. And not only will theenvironmental benefit be significant, butunpleasant overflows which could causehealth issues and discomfort will also belimited resulting in significant savings forratepayers.”

Sonnenberg urges residents to cooperatewith officials who issue notices if contra-vention exists on their properties.

“It is only with your collaboration thatthis problem can be effectively tackled.”

‘Green’ powerThe first small-scale embedded electric-

ity generation contract has beensigned by the City of Cape Town and

Black River Park Investments.The office block in Observatory will lead

theway in the commercial real estate sectorby utilising large-scale solar power systemsto generate environmentally sustainableenergy.They will be producing some of the elec-

tricity to meet their own consumption de-mands.Mayor Patricia de Lille says under the

termsof this contract,BlackRiverParkwillfeed a limited amount of extra electricitywhich they generate back into the City’selectricity grid and they will receive an off-set against their monthly electricity ac-counts.“They would do this over weekends for

example when the office park’s electricalload is reduced. The electricity which theysave will be fed back into the City’s grid,”she says.It is envisaged this will be the first of

many small-scale embedded generation(SSEG) installations to be connected to theCity’s grid.De Lille says the City is hopeful the provi-

sion of such opportunities will help stimu-late the green economy by increasing de-mand for solar panels and other sources ofalternative energy. This will in turn helpcreate jobs in this sector.Black River Park’s solar project at the

74 000m² office park is the largest integratedphotovoltaic (PV) plant in Africa. The pan-els cover an area of 11 000 m², which is justover two full-sized rugby fields, and gener-ate between 20-30% of the complex’s elec-tricity requirements.“The Black River Park’s PV installation

has already saved around 1 300 tons of coalthrough the use of renewable energy,” shesays.

It has produced around 1 368MW hours,which is equivalent to keeping 157 CapeTown houses running for a year.This project also maintains the City’s po-

sition of being at the forefront of green initi-atives.The City has set itself a target of sourcing

10% of its electricity from renewable ener-gy resources by 2020 and the roll-out of thesmall-scale embedded generation tariff sup-ports this goal.De Lille says Cape Town has to contend

with the negative consequences of climatechange. “South Africa’s electricity genera-tion is notoriously environmentally un-friendly, as it relies to a great extent on theburning of coal,” she says.For every 1kW hour of grid electricity

consumed, 1kg of carbon dioxide is releasedinto the atmosphere, De Lille explains.“Our over-reliance on fossil fuels for our

energy needs cannot continue unabated,andwe as a city need to do everything possi-ble to pursue alternative, cleaner sources ofenergy,” she continues.This includes using electricity more effi-

ciently and using electricity generatedfrom renewable sources like the sun andwind. For more than a year, the City hasbeen running a project to find a solutionwhich allows consumers to feed power backinto the grid and to receive an offset doingso.Consumers who wish to feed SSEG elec-

tricity into the municipal electricity gridneed to have a bi-directional advanced me-ter infrastructure credit meter installed bythe City at their own cost and take theirelectricity supply at the appropriate SSEGtariff.V Guidelines and application requirements can befound on the City’s website.

Working plan to assist homeless

A 56-strong team will be heading to thestreets in a bid to help homeless peo-ple turn their lives around.

Council’s Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development Directorate re-cently held an induction programme for thenew fieldworkers and clerkswhohave beenemployed through the Expanded PublicWorks Programme (EPWP) to help imple-ment the directorate’s Street People Pro-gramme.R2.5m is being spent on the initiative,

council officials confirm.An induction programme was recently

held for 49 fieldworkers and seven clerkswho will be employed by the Street PeopleProgramme until the first quarter of nextyear.The fieldworkers’ main objective will be

to engage with street people with a view toproviding assistance to those who want toget off the streets.Their tasks will include monitoring the

number of street people in their respectiveareas; identifying individual needs, includ-ing health issues and their prospects of re-turning home; identifying new arrivals andusing resources available to discouragethem from making a home on the streets;and facilitating other services required andtransfer to assessment centres.

Mayco Member for Social Developmentand Early Childhood Development SuzetteLittle says the directorate aims to employadditional field workers during the courseof this financial year, oncemore fundingbe-comes available.Between April 2013 and June 2014, 116

fieldworkers were employed.Plans are also in place to appoint 24 per-

manent fieldworkers.“The appointment of fieldworkers is cru-

cial in our engagement with street people,”Little says.“They are at the coal face daily and are

able to help effect meaningful change in thelives of those who find themselves on thestreet and who are looking for a way out.The beauty of this initiative is that we arenot only helping people on the street.“We are also addressing unemployment

through the appointment of fieldworkers –thus tackling two very important challeng-es in our city.”The directorate will continue providing

employment opportunities for street peoplethrough the EPWP cleaning project.“We held a workshop earlier this year

where many street people indicated thatthey want to get off the streets, but face sev-eral challenges including unemployment,”she says.

FISHING FLEET FESTIVAL

In honour of fishermenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In honour an of an age-old fishing tradi-tion, the Portuguese community of CapeTown have been wishing fishermen well

on their journey to sea for 25 years.The annual Blessing of the Fishing Fleet

Festival was started in 1989 after a group ofvolunteers decided to practice the Portu-guese tradition of blessing the fishing boatsin return for an abundant fishing season.First held at the Elbow Shed at the Cape

Town Harbour, the event soon became thehighlight of the Portuguese community’year, says Alberto Goncalves, chairpersonof the Portuguese Cultural andWelfare Cen-tre of Cape Town.“The festival started to bring the Portu-

guese communities together at a social eventto bring a flavour of Madeira to Cape Town.It later became the greatest event annuallyorganised by the Portuguese community.”Fishing is deeply centred in their culture,

which is built on the Catholic faith, Gon-calves explains. “Once a year the communi-ty comes to the dockside to thankGod forHisblessings, to pray for the fishermen and to

bless the fishing season. We know the hard-ships endured and the dangerous conditionsof working at sea. Jesus Christ called mostof his apostles from this trade and he usedtheir boats as a platform to preach, to bringabout miraculous catches and to calmstormy weather,” he says.A procession follows a Mass which sees a

boat carrying a statue of Saint Peter, whowas a fisherman, and the Virgin Mary. Ananchor bedeckedwith flowers is blessed andthrown out to sea in honour of those whohave have died at sea.The festival is preceded by a dinnerwhere

the King and Queen of the Sea are selectedaswell as the Fishing Boat of Honour, whichcarries the statue of Our Lady of Fatimawhile sailing around Cape Town Harbour.Since the first festival, proceeds have gone

toward charitable work in the Portuguesecommunity. “The blessing of the fishingfleet is also a fundraising event. The pro-ceeds raisedduring the event go to thePortu-guese Cultural andWelfare Centre. The cen-tre was formed to help those in need in ourcommunity,” Goncalves says.Over the last 25 years, the festival has

grown to accommodate around 4 000 visi-

tors,withmany fromother parts of the coun-try. “It is a social event, bringing peoplefrom surrounding areas and remindingthem of what usually happens on the islandof Madeira. We hope it advertises the hospi-tality of the Portuguese people and remindsthem that Cape Town has a large fishing

community of all walks of life.”V The annual Blessing of the Fishing Fleet Festival willtake place at the V&A Waterfront North Wharf on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October. The Festival starts at14:00 on Saturday. There will be food on sale, a beergarden and live bands. Sunday’s festivities start at10:30. Entrance is free.

Workers sigh with relief as pay day brings with it an in-flux of cash and opportunities. But for some, this cash in-jection is an excuse for reckless behaviour.Provincial government released statistics showing that

weekends after pay day bring a 24% increase in carnageon our roads.Six people a day are killed on average in motor acci-

dents over these weekends. This past pay day weekendsaw at least 25 deaths on Western Cape roads – the thirdworst weekend of the year.The increase has in part been attributed to increased

numbers on the road as people travel to visit loved ones.However, the accidents have also been linked to an in-

crease in drunken driving – made possible by the moneyinmotorists’ pockets. Almost 80 arrests for drunk drivingwere made this weekend alone.While alcoholmay offer a temporary reprise from some

of our more grim realities, these binges also bring an in-creased risk of death in accidents and alcohol-related ill-ness.Binge drinking leads to motor accidents, falls, burns,

drowning and hypothermia. Homicide, suicide, domesticviolence, heart attacks, STIs and meningitis have alsobeen linked to binge drinking, according to a study.It can result in alcohol poisoning, which can be fatal,

and drinking among youth between 21 and 25 years canalso stunt brain development.Surely this money could be better spent investing in

one’s future.At a recent event, mayor Patricia De Lille said alcohol

is still one of the most commonly abused substanceswhich leads to several negative effects on our communi-ties, such as Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. Over 10 000 bottlesof alcohol, confiscated on the city’s beaches, were de-stroyed at the event.Imagine if a portion of this wasted money could be re-

turned to our communities. It could, if only we turnedaway from reckless spending and invested our hardearned earnings in education and community projects.

Jobs: how is State helping?Many of the newspaper reports regardinggangsterism and crime in coloured areaslink this to unemployment and poverty. Yetcoloured people in theWestern Cape are los-ing their jobs by the day. Less coloureds arebeing employed in major retail stores eventhough these stores are located in almost ex-clusively coloured areas.

Government departments are even worse.It appears they would not think twice to

get rid of coloured employees.Government’s affirmative action policy is

usually given the blame for this.Bursary, learnership and study opportu-

nities also bypass most of them.What is government’s planwith the provi-

sion of jobs to and empowerment of colouredpeople?

Hardly anyone is willing to stand up andvoice their dissatisfaction about this.

Is there no one who genuinely cares aboutthe upliftment and development of this con-stantly overlooked group of our country?

Will the recent amendments to the Em-ployment Equity Act bring about any posi-tive change at all?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Sassa: ‘no help to get pension’I would like to know how far all the pension-ers came with their money being deducted.

My grandmother, aged 87, got paid R700.She doesn’t own a cellphone [for which] tobuy airtime.

I was at the South African Social SecurityAgency (Sassa).

They gave me a number to call. It was notthe call centre number. This after I threat-ened to phone the [media] for answers.

It is not fair to old people to not give thema direct answer to where their pension is go-ing.

I’m frustrated because I had to stay out ofmy work twice to assist my grandmother.Please help to voice our concerns clearly.Nobody is helping and I’m not going to leaveit here; even if I have to take this to courtfor her sake.JESSICA

Maintenance: other side of coinIn response to the story “Father’s rights ig-nored” (People’s Post, 9 September). I am onthe opposite side of this coin.

I am not disputing what he is goingthrough, but I know what it feels like to betreated as the problem.

I went to theMaintenance Court whenmyson turned eight. Never in those eight yearsdid I refuse for his father to see him. Butwhen he decided to get married and reducemymaintenance, I had to turn to the courts.

The very place that was supposed to assistme and guide me treated me like a criminal.I was only there to get what is rightfully inmy son’s best interest.

But they won. My son’s maintenance wasreduced and I never bothered going back tocourt because I knew I was fighting a losingbattle.

My son was paid a lousy R600 a monthsince the age of about two until he turned

18. My ex couldn’t afford to pay more, butthe day we appeared he had a lawyer. I wassitting with hospital bills that I had to payoff, but we made it despite that struggle.

Collecting the money at the office everymonth was something I dreaded becauseeven there us women are made to feel use-less. We aren’t treated with the respect wedeserve. Trust me; I spoke to many womenwhile spending hours there to collect themoney.

Sometimes the money wasn’t even in, be-cause some men feel they can do that. Wejust had to fight that tireless fight.

I thank God today that that part of my lifeis over. It was no fun and it is not fair onour kids.

We are already raising them alone.We do not need to be victimised over it.

We dowhat is in the best interest of our kids.ANON

Protect womenHow can we help reduce rape cases thisspring and summer?

I have grappled with the issue of persist-ent rape cases and sexual harassment onwomen. What comes to play is the fact thatwomen are weaker vessels and even if thereare cases of sexual harassment for both gen-ders, women seem to be more affected thanthe men.

South Africa is a great country with richcultural heritage. The Medical ResearchCouncil results estimates about 3 600 report-ed rape cases a day in South Africa. I wasshocked when I read those stats recentlyduring Women’s Month!

One wonders why this is the case in acountry with such a rich cultural heritage.How can we help our girls and women? Aslong as we hide this issue, it will keep per-sisting.

It is high time we stop assuming it will fixitself.

Menaremeant tobeaprotection to awom-an but the minute they view a woman as acompetitor who needs to be silenced, therewill always be a problem.

I am also appalled when I walk the streetsofMuizenberg and seewomenwearing littleto no clothing. No wonder men are temptedsexually.

I realise there are many causes of rape.But I want women all over South Africa tobe cautious, and to help the men. And men,protect your women!MARGARET GICHUKI

LIFESAVING

Beach safety boostAs the summer season nears, more life-guards will be covering the beaches of theMother City.The City of Cape Town last week approvedthe partnership between council and Life-saving Western Province to ensure that life-saving services will be available for the up-coming 2014/15 summer season. While themunicipality is responsible for ensuring thesafety of beach users throughout the year,the peak summer season from October toFebruary sees an increased number of sea-side visitors which requires additional lifeguarding resources, council officials say ina statement.The City will contribute R3,5 million toLifesaving Western Province to “enable theorganisation to fulfil its obligation of ensur-ing safety on the beaches”, says MayoralCommittee member for Community Servic-

es and Special Projects Belinda Walker.“Trained and competent lifeguards areone of the most critical requirements forsafety at amenities. Lifesaving WesternProvincehas apool ofwell trainedandquali-fied lifeguards who are able to deliver an es-sential service,” she says.This partnershipwill allow for a combina-tion of volunteer and paid accredited life-guards for the 2014/15 season.For the upcoming summer period, coun-cil’s Safety and Security directorate willtrain a number of lifeguards to be qualifiedas volunteer Law Enforcement officers.They will have powers to confiscate liquorand arrest offenders who do not obey in-structions from lifeguards. The intention isthat lifeguards will increasingly be trainedas law enforcement officers and certified toenforce City bylaws on beaches.

Consider all education optionsWith the deadline for application to mostuniversities only weeks away, and forsome specialist programmes alreadypassed, another crop of matrics is againset for disappointment.This is according to Dr Felicity Cough-lan, director of the Independent Instituteof Education (The IIE), a private highereducation institution.The statement says pupils may havewaited too late to submit their applica-tions, didn’t realise the extent of competi-tion for the limited space in the publichigher education sector, or failed to takeinto consideration the fact that qualitypost-school opportunities are not onlyavailable within the public sector.“We expect the headlines to show littlechange from previous years, as thou-sands upon thousands of students vie forrelatively fewavailable spaces in thepub-lic sector, and too many uninformed pro-spective students enter the new yearwithout a viable study option,” saysCoughlan.This can happen for a number of rea-sons, she says, but often the underlyingproblems include waiting too late to ap-ply, not understanding the applicationcriteria, not qualifying for application ornot rating sufficiently compared to othercandidates where there was limitedcourse space.“Perhaps the key reason that is insuffi-ciently explored, is failure on the part ofstudents to apply to more than one insti-tution and to apply within different partsof the sector – public and private,” shesays.Coughlan says there are ongoing lauda-ble efforts to increase the number of plac-es within public sector universities andFET colleges, but that these are unlikelyto ever be able to meet the demand forspaces. Furthermore, they should not be

expected to do so.“A vibrant, well regulated private sec-tor is a strong ally in the national processof offeringmeaningful post-school educa-tion opportunities for pupils.”Coughlan says the government’s planto create a central processing house forstudents – to minimise the cost and com-plexity of multiple applications – is com-mendable.However, this is not yet in place, willnot reduce competition for sought-afterplaces andunless registeredprivate insti-tutions are included, will not necessarilycontribute sufficiently to resolving theproblems. “Until there is a comprehen-sive solution in place, students need toensure they are keeping their own op-tions open.”Coughlan says South Africa’s existingunitary quality assurance and accredita-tion system means public and privatehigher education qualifications are for-mally held to the same standard.“This creates an enabling environmentfor students to consider real options out-side of the public sector and they shouldbe encouraged to do so. Prospective stu-dents are often not aware of the addition-al choices available to them beyond ap-proaching a public university, or thatthere are numerous accredited privateinstitutions whose degrees and qualifica-tions are widely recognised and respect-ed – locally and abroad.“While there is still a little bit of timeleft, prospective students must be urgedto visit institutions in the public and pri-vate sector. Visit campuses and speak tostudents, read through the prospectusand speak to an enrolment counsellor.Determine what it is that you want to do,where you want to do it, and very impor-tantly,what youneed toqualify andwhenyour application needs to be in.”

MYCITI ISMOVINGFORWARD

Pollen: trouble in the airThis year’s exceptionally wet winter sea-son could spawn an explosion of plantandgrass growth spelling trouble forhay-fever sufferers.So says Mariska van Aswegen, spokes-

person of a leading allergy medicationsupplier in a statement.“South Africa has experienced one of

its wettest winters of late and usually af-ter a rainy pre-season like the onewe justhad, followedby sufficient sunlight, thereis an exponential increase of pollen in theair,which creates a perfect storm for hay-fever.“Awetwinter alsomeans healthy plant

roots, although we can’t predict exactlyhow florae are going to behave. If past ex-perience is anything to go by, grasses,trees and flowers are simply waiting forwarmer and drier days to release theirpollen. And when they do, it could hitvery intensely,” says Van Aswegen.Pollens that usually trigger seasonal al-

lergies come fromtrees, grasses orweeds,but grass is by far the worst culprit inSouth Africa. As a result of heavy winterrains, aerobiologists predict a bumpergrass pollen season which is likely topeak in October and taper off in Decem-ber.She points out while grass species usu-

ally stagger their pollen release through-out the season, the cold weather couldcause grass to release pollen earlier andmore forcefully.The most common grass species found

in SA include winter grass, wild oats, ryegrass, quaking grass, bunny tail, klok-kies, bermuda grass, and African speciessuch as kikuyu and buffalo grass.Experts say it will only take a few sun-

ny, breezy days for pollen to soar whichwill soon give allergy sufferers a glimpseof what to expect for the remainder of the

season.Besides just keeping upwith regular al-

lergy medication, such as antihista-mines,VanAswegen advises avoiding ex-posure. She gives the following advice:

. Keep doors and windows closed toavoid pollen grains from coming insidethe house.

. Avoid the use of fans and rather optfor air-conditioning,which canmarkedlycut down on the amount of pollen in aroom and car.

. Stay indoors on high pollen days be-tween 10:00 and 16:00 when pollen is usu-ally released – especially when it iswindy.

.Wash clothes after being outside aspollen will stick to it. Showering andwashing hair after long exposure is alsoadvisable.

. Don’t hang clothing outside to dry aspollen will collect on them.

. If you enjoy exercising outdoors,choose the one least likely to expose youto allergens. Opt for tennis on a cementcourt rather than golf.

.Wear a mask when working in thegarden and mowing the lawn.“It’s important to pay attention to the

weather. Changeable weather forecasts,which include short periods of rain, fol-lowed by sunshine and wind, just startsit all off again and is likely to prolong theseason.“Hay fever sufferers should continue

taking their medication even though dis-persed rain may dampen symptoms. Ingeneral, those allergic to pollen shouldtake their medication at least two weeksprior to the start of the season which willsignificantly reduce symptoms such asan itchy, runny or blocked nose; irritatedand watery; red eyes and/or a scratchythroat.”

CHARITY

Pedal power for thelove of animalsThe countdown begins as

entries for the 2015CapeTown Cycle Tour are of-

ficially open.And if you’re still looking

for a reason to cycle – andmotivation to conquer thecruel Suikerbossie hill – on 8March 2015, spare a thoughtfor the thousands of animalswho suffer at the hands ofcruelty every day in CapeTown.You can do it for the love

of animals by riding as partof Team SPCA. There are 150guaranteed entries into the2015 Cape Town Cycle Tour –all you have to do is sign upas part of the magic team,who last year raised overR450 000 for shelter animals.This year theSPCAhas a special incentive

for one team member.The SPCA’s Natasha Johannes says: “In

2015, we have something extra special forour Team SPCA members. The team mem-ber who raises the most funds for the SPCA,will ride away with a new bicycle.”She says you pledge to raise a minimum

of R2 000 for the SPCA, and this amount willinclude your race entry, a good quality cy-cling shirt and a few exclusive extras.“Most importantly, every pedal push, hill

and all the tears and sweat will be worth thepain for the happy barks and wagging tailsof the less fortunate animals in our care.”By committing to Team SPCA for the

world’s largest timed cycle race in 2015, you

ensure that the work of the SPCA continues– preventing cruelty to all animals; rescuinganimals from crisis and distress, givingshelter to sick, injured, abandoned and un-wanted animals; and providing subsidisedveterinary care to animals from less fortu-nate communities and educating young chil-dren about the humane treatment of ani-mals.So whether you’re a novice or a fitness fa-

natic, the SPCA invites you to take up thechallenge and make your race count formore! Charity entries are limited and fill upfast, and there are only 150 entries availablefor Team SPCA.V Obtain details from Johannes on (021) 700 4155,email awareness@spcact.co.za, like their Facebookpage ‘Cape of Good Hope SPCA’.
