Residents in Sherwood Park, Manen-berg, are resting a bit easier (day andnight) since a new neighbourhood

Deputy chairperson of the neighbourhoodwatch and street committee Shahied Fran-cis says the organisation goes beyond crimeprevention in the area.

“Our neighbourhood watch structure isfocussed on crime prevention, however, itdoes not end there. We also focus on ouryouth in the area and are focussing on youth

Safety first for childrenEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Over the months of March and April, Ma-nenberg police have turned their atten-

tion tokeeping the streets safer for children.“Protection of our young people is a prior-

itywithin thepolice. These youngstershavethe right to a quality life, a secure environ-ment and a right to education so that theycan be future role models. We are failingthese young people by not reporting crimeand not stopping criminal activities withinour community,” states Manenberg policespokesperson Lieutenant Ian Bennett.While March was the month for human

rights, April brings with it the month offreedom.“How can we promote freedom when we

allow our young people to be violated bypeople we know?“Freedom relies on the protection and

guarding of human rights. The youth havebecome entrapped in gangs and gang activi-ties as these entities portray negativities tobe a way of life,” states Bennett.He said that having the youth entrapped

within their communities needs to changedby upstanding residents in the community.“The youth only learn by example, so it

is important for us as adults thatwe are con-scious how we do things and when we aredoing it. Children have the right to life. Itis our duty as adults to ensure that theirrights are protected,” Bennett added.Bennett said that just before the Easter

weekend the body of a newborn baby boywas found abandoned along a fence in Hei-develd. He questionedwhether the little boy

would then have less rights than any otherperson or even the mother.“If we can protect the rights of the most

vulnerable we will be contributing to thegrowth of our communities which willmake the country safer,” emphasised Ben-nett.He went onto say that communities must

not use poverty as an excuse to commitcrimes of murder, rape, substance abuseand abuse of our women, children and sen-ior citizens.

“We will encourage the community inApril to report crime, abuse and any othercriminal activity. We need to encourage thecommunity to stand up against crime. Stopthe violence – become active in crime pre-vention and be examples of how to be goodcitizens. Encourage the youth to learn andcreate opportunities for personal develop-ment.”V Anyone with information can contact Manenbergpolice on 021 699 9400 or CrimeStop on 0860010111.

One of the men continued runningand did not realise that his friend was shot.When he stopped he saw that his friend wasshot, at that time help arrived. The suspectfled the scene. The 23-year-old man wasrushed to hospital for emergency medicalcare and died before he could be assisted,”stated Bennett.The friend told the police that he knew the

suspect to which the police and subsequent-ly returned to the scene where the suspectwas pointed out in the immediate vicinity.When the suspect was searched he was still

in possession of a 357magnumpistol and sixlive rounds of ammunition. The 22-year-oldsuspect was arrested and taken into custo-dy.Bennett said that the firearm that the sus-

pect had in his possession was a licensedfirearm. The registered owner of the fire-arm was then contacted, but could not givean account of his firearm nor did he reportit being stolen.The registered owner of the firearm, a 44-

year-old man was also arrested for failingto keep his firearm safe as well as for notreporting the circumstances around it notbeing in his possession.V Anyone with information can contact ManenbergSAPS 0216999400 or crime stop 0860010111.

CT Cannabis Walkaiming for a highNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

With 15 000 participants last year, the or-ganisers of the Cape Town Cannabis

Walk hope to grow the event to 45 000 thisyear.Organiser Jo Hout says the walk, now in

its 14th year, has been growing exponential-ly. Starting with only a handful of people in2002 as “the only thing society could do toshow support for cannabis legalisation”,thewalk saw 5000 participants in 2014, Houtsays.The increase in participation is due to a

growing awareness among the general pub-lic of the medicinal use of cannabis, Houtexplains.“More studies and research are being car-

ried out on the medicinal benefits of canna-bis and the USA has changed their classifi-cation of the drug. People are slowly beinggiven the right kind of information.”Hout believes legalising the drug would

open up a range of natural treatments forillnesses such as epilepsy, cancer, HIV andneurodegenerative diseases, as well as thetreatment of pain and inflammation.

“It’s a medicine that people can growthemselves,” he says. “There are few sideeffects. If someone takes toomuch oxytocin,they’ll die. It’s impossible to ingest enoughcannabis to die.”In addition to hemp crops being an alter-

native industry and boosting job creation,Hout believes the income generated by tax-ing the drug would bring added benefits tothe economy.“On the recreational side, people are go-

ing to buy drugs – no matter what. Whenthey aren’t taxed, it creates the gap for thosefunds to go to criminal institutions,” hesays.The Cannabis Walk provides a platform

for people to discuss the legalisation of can-nabis, Hout believes.“These topics are very under-debated be-

cause people are scared of being ostracised.The walk shows there’s a large communitythat supports legalisationandgoes tobreak-ing the stigma,” he says. “It’s a tool to starta conversation and slowly educate people.”V The Cannabis Walk takes place on Saturday 7 Mayat 10:00, starting at the corner of Tennant and Keiz-ersgracht streets. For more information, like the CapeTown Cannabis Walk page on Facebook.

The 6th annual Penguin Promises Waddlefor a Week will see a group of waddlers setoff from Gansbaai and walk their way to Si-mon’s Town over a period of six days, start-ing on Monday 11 April.Along the way they will raise much-need-

ed awareness about the plight of the endan-gered African penguin, as well as the envi-ronment, and collect promises as part of thePenguin Promises campaign.The 16 waddlers, tackling the 120kmwalk,

are animal keepers fromaround the countryas well as other animal penguin enthusiastsand environmental supporters. This yearthe first international participant, LeitzaGorman fromDevon Zoo in the UK, joins thegroup.“The main thing I’m looking forward to is

the opportunity to make a positive impact,however small, on the future of African seabirds through education. I fully believe thatif I can convince just a few people to makesmall positive changes in their lifestyleswhilst either on the Waddle or back homeat the zoo, then all the effort will have paidof,” said Gorman.The African penguin is the only penguin

species found on the African continent. Thespecies is endemic to the southern Africancoastline and occurs from Namibia to AlgoaBay. These birds face extinction in the wildas their numbers continue to decline dra-matically. Reduced food availability due tooverfishing, climate change and habitat de-

struction are just some of the factors takingtheir toll on bird numbers.How can South Africans help the African

penguin, the environment and the wad-dlers? By simply promising to make achange in their daily lives. These promisesare funnelled through thePenguinPromisescampaign and can be submitted to [email protected] should be kept simple and

achievable. Some examples of promises in-clude: declining straws, using reusableshopping bags rather than plastic bags, tak-ing quick showers rather than bathing,choosing only sustainable seafood, and ad-hering to water by-laws, to name but a few.Whenmade collectively, these choices can

have an immensely positive impact on theenvironment.On the final day of the Waddle, Saturday

16 April, the group will depart fromMuizen-berg and will walk to Simon’s Town. On this15km leg, they would love to see as manyCapetonians and visitors as possible jointhem.Dress in black and white and show your

love and support of the African penguin –Leave Muizenberg (Surfer’s Corner) at 09:00and reach Simon’s Town at approximately13:00.V For further information about the Penguin PromisesWaddle for a Week, visit www.penguinpromises.comor email Hayley McLellan on [email protected]

Backyarders tolight up soonCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Backyard services not initially plannedfor Hanover Park are set to be installed

over the next few week.This after backyarders were promised

services would be installed by October lastyear, says Hanover Park Backyard Dwell-ers Organisation chairperson Ricardo Sed-res.

He says that to date only a few homes havebeen equipped.

“I liaised with the City of Cape Town lastyear via email and was told that the projectthat started in Hanover Park during 2013would be completed by October last year.However, this is not the case – the work hasstill not been completed,” Sedres says.

He explains residents in Silica Walk arestill waiting for electrical boxes and ablu-tion facilities to be installed.

“We need clarity from the City confirm-ing what the delay is with rolling out thesebasic services to residents. There are stillpeople waiting for complete ablution facili-ties as well,” he says.

According to Sedres, enquiries regardingthe project proved unfruitful when he fol-lowed up on it.

“I sent emails enquiring why some back-yard dwellers were not yet equipped withbasic services. At first I was told they werewaiting for the budget to come out, whichit already has, but still no answers or feed-back to this day. I was also told that SilicaWalk formed part of another ward whichwas not under the jurisdiction of that par-ticular project,” says Sedres.

Mayco member for utility services, Ern-

est Sonnenberg, confirms the project start-ed the roll-out during January 2013.

“The project to provide electricity servi-ces to backyarders reached practical com-pletion in the 2014/2015 financial year. Theonly connections outstanding were in highdensity areas where access could not be pro-vided for the installation of services,” Son-nenberg explains.

“The next phase of the project to provideelectricity services to backyarders in theNewfields area, will commence shortly.”

Backyarder in Silica Walk form part ofNewfields area, Sonnenberg explains.“Work is expected to start within the nextfew weeks. Funding has been allocated andthe contractor is busy with final prepara-tion work.”

Newfields was not part of the originalproject, therefore the roll-out to the areacannot be described as a delay, Sonnenbergsays.

“The Newfields area was not part of theoriginal project as far as electricity servicesare concerned. The area has since been ap-proved as the next phase. A consultant hadto be appointed to provide the design andthe design had to be audited by the City.Funding had to be arranged. The phase isnow ready for construction to start.”

The aim is to complete the Newfields partof the project by the end of June. The roll-out of electricity so far has cost approxi-mately R96m with R4m budgeted for theNewfields roll-out, Sonnenberg says.

He explains the City’s backyarder pro-gramme aims to improve access to munici-pal services for residents living in the back-yards of City owned rental dwellings. It isthe first municipal project of this type.

Small tourism businesses have been givena boost through Cape Town Tourism’s

Board Development Fund.The fund selects two small businesses an-

nually to receive a R50 000 cash prize as wellas access to business development and net-working opportunities.

Started three years ago, the fund is madeup of the money that would be paid to boardmembers. They decided to instead serve onthe board for free and donate their would-beearnings to developing small businesses inthe tourism industry, with the focus on his-torically disadvantaged individuals, ex-plains Cape Town Tourism chairperson En-ver Mally.“Entrepreneurs have lots of people telling

them why their idea won’t work, but theydon’t get a lot of support,” he says.

Turning Point B&B in Kuils River, ownedby husband andwife Doris and IsaacManini,as well as Maboneng Township Arts Experi-ence, which locates and adopts townshiphomes as home galleries where local artistscan display theirworks to visitors andwherethe women of the home can earn extra in-come, were named recipients at an event onWednesday 30 March.

Started in Alexandra, Johannesburg, byartist Siphiwe Ngwqenya, the organisationwas born out of a need to exhibit his work.After being told he would have to wait twoyears for space in a gallery, Ngwqenya start-ed exhibiting in his own neighbourhood.

The organisation now focuses on CapeTown and surrounds in the areas of Langa,Gugulethu and Kayamandi, and one of the

key aims is to develop a new and diverse au-dience and platform for arts and culture inCape Town.“It’s inspirational to see someone coming

from the dusty streets of the township andbe-coming captains of industry,” Mally says.However, this year the fund added a sur-

prise announcement, with a third benefici-ary selected and funded by Thebe Tourism.The third award was given to Lungi Soty-

ingwa, a former domestic worker in SeaPoint, whowas encouraged by her employer,Marijke Frijtersto, to start her own guesthouse.Her “shack chic” bed and breakfast opened

in Khayelitsha in 2010, but was closed aftera devastating fire in 2014. Sotyingwa and herpartners rebuilt and opened their doorsagain in September last year.“I’m so shocked. I thought I was not a win-

ner and told myself that next time I’m goingto win. Then they announced that I was alsoa beneficiary. I’m very proud of myself,” shesays.Sotyingwa plans to use the money to train

as a tour guide, to offer additional servicesto her clients, as well as to complete the re-building of the guest house. She also hopesto support local community projects.The cash prize is accompanied by business

skills coaching, training opportunities andmentorship.“Our collective experience – some of us

have been in tourism for decades – is valua-ble. Itmaynot feel like it, butwehave learnedthrough experience and trial and error, andthis we can put to good use by offering wis-dom, insights and tips to small businessesseeking to make it in this competitive envi-ronment,” Mally says.

Police have made inroads into those con-tributing to the generation of crime in

the Manenberg area.Run by a separate police division, Opera-

tion Combat is focussed on curbing themovement of drugs and firearms throughintelligence received from anonymoussources which in turn leads them to houseswhich are used to conduct criminal activi-ty.In one instance on Tuesday last week, po-

lice followed up information which led tothe arrest of three suspects – two men anda woman – for possession of drugs, whileone female suspect was arrested for illegalpossession of ammunition. Altogether 65grams and 31 units of tik with a street valueof R21 000 and 58 rounds of shotgun gaugewere seized. Suspects aged between 16 and47 years were arrested. The suspects are ex-pected to appear in the Athlone Magis-trate’s Court facing charges of the posses-sion of drugs and illegal possession of am-munition once charged.

“Theywill continue raiding these houses.They never know where the informationcomes from, because they act on intelli-gence coming from the area, and strike. For-tunately, on two occasions – inCorrie Courtand in Linda Court – they found some-thing,” said Manenberg police spokesper-son Lieutenant Ian Bennett.A 47-year-old man from Belinda Court

was arrested for the possession of tik lastTuesday evening after police patrolling thearea doing stops and searches noticed a per-son acting suspiciously in Corrie Court.When the suspect saw the officers, he alleg-edly ran away. The suspect was then cor-nered and upon searching him police foundthe 31 units of tik in his possession.In another incident a 39-year-old woman

was also arrested for the possession of tik.Police deployed to the area received infor-

mation of drug dealing at an address at Be-linda Court. When they arrived they con-ducted a search and found seven units of tikhidden in clothing.V Anyone with information regarding selling or storingof drugs can contact Manenberg police on021 699 9400 or CrimeStop 08600 10111.

Athletics action is coming to the city tohonour a star of yesteryear and pay trib-ute to some heroes of the past.

The gala schools athletics meet will bestaged at Green Point Athletics on Tues-day April 12 to honour the memory ofstar sprinter Kenny Roman, who died re-cently, as well as recognising theachievements and contributions of thestars of yesteryear.

A number of the peninsula’s top seniorschools, including Harold Cressy, Trafal-gar, South Peninsula, Athlone, Wittebo-me and Spine Road, will send athletes toparticipate. These schools have histori-cally been strong performers at athleticsdays.

The driving force behind the event isthe not-for-profit community organisa-tion Play Sport4Life which has alreadyarranged a number of successful eventsin the Kensington-Factreton-Maitlandarea in recent months.

The Kenny Roman Memorial Day willstart at 15:00 with the same venue alsohosting a “Schools Olympics” day forprimary school learners as part of the100th birthday celebrations of St John’sPrimary School in Kensington.

The founder of Play Sport4Life, MilesOctober, said he hoped that people whohad fond memories of Kenny Romansprinting in his heyday in the late sixtiesand early seventies would join the youngathletes on the day.

Roman died in Brisbane, Australia,last month, aged 69, after a long illness.

“Kenny left behind a legacy in athlet-ics which deserves to be remembered,”October said. “As a community organi-sation, we work hard to develop and nur-ture individuals to serve as future rolemodels for our community, involve moregirls and women in sport, and encourageindividuals to become professional ath-letes. What better way to show what anideal role model could be than by holdingup the achievements of Kenny Roman assprint champion and star baseball pitch-er?

“Hopefully among the young athletescompeting on the day, there are a fewwho would go on to become a role modelin our community.”

October added that while they werebuilding on the future, the organisationwas also focussed on acknowledging pastachievements.

“We cannot let the circumstances ofour past dictate that our history be for-gotten. It has to be acknowledged.

“In order for us to shape our future, weneed to know our past and the peoplewho made significant contributions inall walks of life, including sport.”

The organisation is also arranging fora number of top athletes of yesteryear tobe part of the proceedings of the KennyRoman Memorial Day.

“It is going to be a roll-call of our bestfrom the past,” October said.

Athletes will be competing in girls andboys sections at u.14, u.16 and open lev-els. There will also be a march past.V For more information contact Nazlie Dollie on071 386 6573, email [email protected] or visitwww.playsport4life.org.

Athletics to honourlate Kenny Roman

Want to change a life with a soccer ball?What better way to spend a couple of

hours on a Sunday than playing fives foot-ball and raising money to help Big Issuevendors change their lives?

The Big Issue and the Fair Cape CaresTrust have teamed up to raise money for ed-ucation and training bursaries for Big Issuevendors.

“Every year, we raise funds for the fur-ther education of some of our vendors,” saidDerek Carelse, acting MD of the Big Issue.

“The Big Issue is a hand up, not a handout, and this is one area where you can real-ly see that core principle of who we are inaction.

“When the Fair Cape Cares Trust offeredto host a Five-a-Side tournament to raisefunds for us, we jumped at the chance,” hesays.

“It is such a great way to raise the R50 000we need for our Social Development Bursa-ry Fund. We’ll be entering a vendors’ team,and we really encourage companies and in-dividuals to also enter. Our slogan is“change is in your pocket” and now changecan be in your soccer boots too.”

With R10 000 prize money going to thewinning team, the competition between the

32 teams is sure to be fierce. The competi-tion will run on a “world cup” format, witheight groups of four teams.

The winning team from each group willgo through to the next round until the lastteam standing will collect its prize.

The event will be held at Fives Futbol inCentury City on Sunday 17 April. The firstmatch will kick off at 10:00 and the final willbe held at 15:00.

“It’s highly competitive, but lots of fun,”said Louis Loubser, chief marketing officerat Fair Cape Dairies.

“With only 10 minutes per game, this isa sport that can be enjoyed by all, so it isa perfect opportunity for companies, fami-lies or friends to enter.”

The heart of The Big Issue operation is theSocial Development Department which of-fers self-employed vendors and their fami-lies access to guidance counselling and so-cial support services.

Their vendor training and developmentprogramme aims to equip vendors to moveon into the formal job market through lifeand job skills training, and the moneyraised from the Big Five-a-Side tournamentwill be used for this purpose.V Enter, at www.faircapedairies.co.za/enter.

Machine employedto boost diggingThe City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanita-

tion Department has taken delivery of anew piece of equipment set to expedite itsbulk sewer upgrade programme.

The AVN 800 XC Herrenknecht micro-tun-nelling machine was acquired at a cost of justover R10,6m and comes with technology thatenables safe, fast and efficient tunnelling ineven the most difficult pipe jacking projects.

The machine has been used in more than1000 projects around the world and will beput to the test by CSV Construction duringthe final phase of the Cape Flats 3 Bulk SewerProject (CF3). The CF3 (Phase 2) is a criticalcomponent of the City’s sewer network andwill serve a population of nearly one millionresidents in the Bonteheuwel, Heideveld,Manenberg, Gugulethu and Nyanga areas.This project forms part of the City’s sanita-tion master plan to enhance the sewer reticu-lation system and will ultimately be complet-ed by the end of 2017 at a total cost of approxi-

mately R250m.“Acquiring this technology is a major step

forward for the City and will allow for greaterefficiency of future bulk pipe replacementprojects. The project team is to be congratu-lated for their vision and innovation. Stayingon the cutting edge of new technology is cru-cial to ensuring that the City is able to pro-vide the best possible service to residents,”says Ernest Sonnenberg, the City’s Maycomember for utility services.

The extra capacity that the CF3 construc-tion will provide will allow the City to period-ically decommission other sewer infrastruc-ture in the area for much-needed mainte-nance, repairs and rehabilitation.

The second phase of the CF3 will be con-structed below ground, with the greater partthereof being situated in close proximity toor within existing roadways. The least dis-ruptive route for the community and motor-ists has been chosen for the construction.

The City of CapeTown has taken

delivery of a newmicro-tunnelling

machine which has anumber of features

set to speed up thedigging of under-

ground tunnels to laysewer pipes, as partof the R250 million

sanitation masterplan.

From ‘silly start’ to jazz festivalGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Sometimes the journey to becom-ing a master at your craft has

the silliest of starts – for trumpeterDarren English it was a chancepurchase of a harmonica that led tohim gracing the stages of majorjazz festivals and gigs across theworld.Jazz lovers in South Africa need

little introduction to the youngmaestro from Strandfontein whoattended Muizenberg High School.He is back home having played

at the Cape Town InternationalJazz Festival but since leaving ourshores to study in Atlanta his ca-reer has been booming and he’sjust released his debut CD to somefantastic reviews in the USA.It all started in 2012 when the 22-

year-old, at the time, was awardedthe FMR and Samro OverseasScholarships and left to pursue hisMasters degree at Georgia StateUniversity (GSU).“In the short number of years

that I have decided to make the USmy base, I have had some incredi-ble opportunities,” he says.“This includes touring through-

out the USA and Europe, perform-ing and recording with some of myall time heroes in music.“I first started touringwith a few

bands overweekendswhilst still atGSU, which eventually led to week

long tours, which became monthlong tours and even longer.”Since then as one of the “hip”

young musicians on the scene hehas performedwith some of the bignames on the jazz scene.These include Grammy award

winning vocalist, Carmen Brad-ford (from the Count Basie Orches-tra, who is also featured on his al-bum), trumpeters Russell Gunn,Joe Gransden, and drummer Jim-my Cobb who played with MilesDavis for many years.

The first timeReleasing his album, Imagine

Nation, has been a special time.“We’ve been getting great writ-

ten reviews in the USA and the UKjust a week and a half after our re-lease,” he says excitedly.“I’ve had album opportunities

present themselves before, but thistime, it felt right to not only recordan album, but also to be signedwith a great label (Hot ShoeRecords) at the age of 23.“The record company and its

CEO have been so generous (inmoreways imaginable) and just re-ally amazing toworkwith. They al-lowed me to present my ideas/con-cepts for the album and they “putthe ball in my court”.”One of the compositions that has

been standing out in all the re-views is Darren’s suite dedicationto Nelson Mandela.

“I remember in 2013 when Nel-son Mandela passed away and Iwas devastated by his passingwhich then leadme to write a suiteof works for him.“When I presented it to the

record label they loved the ideaandwe started working on the musi-cians to fit the project.“I’m excited with the album just

by mere fact of having some of mymusical heroes who have becomeclose friends featured on it, includ-ing Carmen Bradford, Greg Tardy,Russell Gunn, Joe Gransden, Ken-ny Banks Jr., Billy Thornton, andChris Burroughs – we even have arecorded interview of NelsonMan-dela played over a composition ofmine entitled Pledge for Peace.”Looking back at the “silly” start

he recalls that his mentor FredKuit, who is in charge of the musicprogramme that has produced somany maestros in recent years,was actually his English teacher.“In one class we had to have a

prepared oral but me, being meback then, thought I would justmake something up.“By chance the weekend before

we were in a mall and for funbought a harmonica. My youngerbrother and I, I was 13 at the time,just walked around blowing it andlaughing hysterically. I then spentthat entire weekend blowing in-and-out on this harmonica and I re-membered that the week before I

heard the school band perform OhWhen The Saints Go Marching Infor assembly.“Somehow I worked out how to

play it so guess what happenedwhenmy name was called for oral.“I walk up, with nothing at all,

but I pulled my harmonica out ofmy blazer and I said: ‘Mr Kuit, Idon’t have a prepared oral, but Ican play the harmonica’.“Of course the entire class

breaks out laughing, and I fearedgoing to the principal’s office but

Kuit was caught of guard andlaughed with, and said: ‘Go ahead,let’s hear it’.“It did not start well but eventu-

ally I got into the tune and every-one started cheering me on. Forthe first time, with my mushroom“Beatles” haircut and all, I felt likea rock star.”

Turning PointDarren won’t reveal the grade

that he got but added that Kuitthen invited him to the musicroom the next day.“I didn’t go for a while, until be-

tween classes one day and I sawhim sitting outside the musicroom playing a trumpet, and hecalled me, asking me if I’d like totry it.“I remember asking him after I

tried blowing through it, “wheredo you switch it on?”, he laughedand explained.“That was the turning point and

before I knew it, I was playing thecornet everyday after school, andquit allmy extra-mural sport activ-ities and just devoted my time toplaying the horn.V On Friday 8 April Darren will be joininghis friend drummer Claude Cozens for aconcert at the Slave Church, 40 LongStreet. They will be joined by guitaristKeenan Ahrends and Sibusiso Matsimelaon bass. For more information https://www.facebook.com/events/501015146768734/.

I’ll be working on my third studioalbum with some amazing producers in LosAngeles, USA while there, one being SteveValenzuela, who’s just produced new musicfor Eric Benet.I’m also working closely with great song-

writers in South Africa for the album, andhave another Can Skylark stage productionplanned for later in the year when I comeback, so I’ll try to have some down timewithall the work going on.”

. How will you be treating your moth-er this Mother’s Day?“Unfortunately, mymother lives overseas

in Kuwait, and I miss her dearly. We spendas much time as we can together when she’sin SA, so I spoil her rotten as often as I can!

My sisters and I Skype with and talk to herquite often, so on the rare occasion we getto spend time together we do all the girlythings and have so much fun.”

. Why is your mother special to you?“My mother is special to me, because she

taught me how to be a strong woman andhow to accept your flaws and celebrate yourstrengths. A mother’s job is never reallydone and I think that we should show allwomen, not just mothers, unconditionallove and appreciation. Women have a veryspecial gift of compassion and I think it’s anamazing gift. Let’s show our support to allwomenout there.We’re really veryblessed.”

. Are you planning any surprises fortheaudienceat thePeople’sPostSoulSis-ters Mother’s Day Celebration?“I don’twant to reveal toomuch, so be sure

to get your tickets to support the show! Onething’s for sure though, let’s just say, it’s go-ing to be H-O-T!”V Tickets for this soulful celebration cost betweenR165 and R250 and are available at Computicket.

IN THE GARDEN

Stay waterwise in winterEven with winter approaching, you stillneed to be water wise in your garden.Water is our most precious resource, so

we need to explore adapting our gardens byplanting more water wise plants.Besides requiring less water, indigenous

plants also reduce air pollution and pro-mote biodiversity and stewardship of ournatural heritage. However, there seems tobe a misconception that indigenous plantslack colour which is why there has been abit of resistance to planning and plantingindigenous gardens.Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Plants such as Gazania, Bauhinia galpiniiand Cape honeysuckle (Tecomacapensis)provide a blaze of orange which can be con-trastedwith the gentle blues of agapanthus,plumbago and felicia, while pink indigof-era and anisodonte and the violet flowersof tinnia barbata can provide a pretty back-ground to amixed border. The possibilitiesand combinations are endless.One spectacular but hardy plant that can

withstand periods of drought is agapan-thus. The thick, fleshy roots store waterand food and they thrive and flower copi-ously if planted in full sun with welldrained soil and plenty of compost. Whenflowering they add lovely colour to a gar-den from blue purple to white and some-times even pink. Theymake attractive con-tainer plants, even when not in flower, andare excellent cut flowers.Beetroot is another veggie that is easy to

grow. It does best in partial or full sun.Beetsmight have the highest sugar contentof all vegetables, but they are also rich innutrients and most people can safely eatbeetroot a few times a week. Drinking beet-root juice lowers blood pressure, boostsyour stamina and fights inflammation.Beets are also rich in fibre and help withdetox.Make use of the last of the summer sun-

shine to plant veggies for hearty wintersoups. Why not try radish, leeks, beetroot,turnips and onions?Remember to plant early in the morning

or late in the afternoon as the midday sunwill make it far more difficult for newplants to cope.V This column was contributed by Stodels. Read morewater-wise gardening tips in People’s Post the firstweek of every month or visit www.stodels.com.

A history ofmotoringSince our two boys were very young, Iused to read aloud to them in ourcaravan at Midmar Dam in KZN whilstmy wife was preparing supper, after anenergetic day in dinghies on the water.The habit stuck, and now, forty yearslater, I still read aloud to my wife overtea or coffee whilst she is busy withtapestries, cross-stitch, needlework andother pastimes.Our selection of literature is wide and

varied, ranging from the Bible toclassics, novels, biographies, history,travel and whatever books come tohand.We are members of car clubs, and,

although not technical, from time totime I have started to read books ofautomotive interest. Previously, by thethird chapter, my wife implored me toread something else, as her interest hadwaned. So it was with some trepidationthat I embarked on “Our Intrepid CapeMotoring Pioneers”. But this isn’t abook about motors and motorists,although both certainly feature. It is aseries of vignettes from the periodmid-1890s to mid-1940s. There is muchdescriptive background to each aspect ofmotoring, and the volume is beautifullyillustrated with contemporary black-and-white photographs. It portrays lifeand events over the whole period andcovers all aspects of motoring in itswidest sense. These include adventuresoverland from Cairo and Europe toCape Town, as well as motor racing atthe Pollsmoor Track, and motor vehicleand motorbike involvement throughoutsouthern Africa during two World Wars.The competitive element of cars

racing trains between Cape Town andJohannesburg is full of excitement, andaircraft are not left out with chapterson Wings over Africa and London toCape Town flights.The book is so well-written and with

such attention to detail. Little knowngems, such as why the Shell Oil Compa-ny is so called emerge in passing. It istruly a riveting read which kept mywife’s interest till the very last page.

JOHN A HARESNAPETokai

Nomercy for thosewho rape, murderI have a radical inexpensive rape solu-tion to the current rape epidemic inSouth Africa.I believe once a person has been

convicted of rape or murder the followingshould happen:Rapists:. They must be castrated. This will

prevent them from attacking anotherperson in the future.

. They must be tattooed with anidentifying “R” in the middle of theirforehead.This will ensure that the public know

that they have offended before. They willbe scarred for life, just like their victims.Currently there is no way of identify-

ing offenders. The “R” will be theirbadge.They will be ousted by the community

and will be shamed all of their lives andso will their families – a major deterrentfor any sane person. They will be easilyidentifiable to potential employers,landlords, and communities that theywant to be involved with. Being easilyidentified will assist the public makedecisions about these people.

They will be picked on and generallytreated badly. This will be a majordeterrent for other offenders.They do not go to jail. They must live

their lives as outcasts. This will be aharder sentence plus will help reducenumbers in the overflowing jail system.

. They must be able to survive but willstruggle to get into normal employment,therefore they could work in work groupsdeveloped for rapist to work togetherdoing good work for the communities –e.g. beach cleaning teams, rhino protec-tion etc.They get paid from the jail system by

the money that they would have neededto house them in jail.Murderers:. Bring back the death sentence for all

murders. The victims’ families can choose how

the criminal will die if they want too.. The victims’ families can participate

in the execution of these murderers. Less people in jail. A major deterrent to other offenders

DALLAS BROUGHTONEmail

Good riddance to dog permitsThanks for highlighting this silly bu-reaucracy (“City officers let barking dogslie”, People’s Post 29 March).Being usually a law-abiding citizen I

registered all my domestic pets inaccordance with JP Smith’s stern instruc-tions, three dogs and three cats.By the time I received my permit, two

years later, one of the dogs and all thecats had died of old age and we hadmoved house.His control measures were worthless,

and remain so.It is like licensing bicycles, simply not

worth the effort and all that happens isthe City Council makes fools of them-selves.I generally hold the Council and JP

Smith in high regard, but this was anown goal, a blunder worthy of otherparties and JP should quietly bury it andmove on.

The Mitchells Plain Netball Union (MPNU)celebrated their 40th anniversary as a Net-ball Union.They commemorated the momentous oc-

casion by having their season opening dayat the Stephen Reagan Sports complex inWestridge on Saturday. The day was attend-ed by theCapeMetropoleNetball Federationas well as a local brass band which added tothe festivities of the day.To add to the momentous achievement,

the MPNU has been handed the opportunityto partake in a tour to Durban where theywill sending four teams to showcase their up

and coming stars that will represent themin a tournament taking place in July.“The day was a hive of activity as girls

were excited to play their first games of theseason and players and spectators were en-tertained by a live brass band and DJ,” saidPamela Johnson, chairperson of the MPNU.She said that the day’s event was enjoyed

by everyone and that the first day of the sea-son was a success with no hiccups. Shewould like to thank the executive committeeof MPNU as well as all the clubs and affili-ates for the all the support.She also welcomed three new clubs to the

union, namelyWoodlands Netball Club, OldMutual Netball Club and Project Play-ground Netball Club to this year’s season.

Mitchell’s Plain Netball Unioncelebrates 40th anniversary

A representative from Durban addressed all the teams at the opening of the new MitchellsPlain Netball Union season at the Stephen Reagan Sports complex in Westridge.

Perfect Cape Townweather, close racingand a fair share of controversywere allpart of the script atKillarney’s opening

round of the 2016 South African NationalKarting Championship, but the weekendwill likely better be remembered for the factthat local drivers proved totally dominant.According to a press release by WPMC

Kart Club, Western Province MotorsportClub karters Julian van derWatt, Dino Ster-min, Sebastian Boyd, Joseph Oelz and CharlVisser eachwononeof the fivenational cate-gories that made up the meeting. Local rac-ers also won thirteen of Saturday’s fifteenraces and with most classes offering theirchampions a seat in the Rotax Max WorldFinals in Italy inOctober, Cape karting onceagain started the season on a high note.Killarney is well-known as a hard nut to

crack for visiting karters and Saturdayproved no exception with three of the win-ners unbeaten over the weekend, but thisyear saw a local lad coming out on top of thefastest Rotax DD2 shifter class too for thefirst time when Formula Ford frontrunnerJulian van der Watt (Kosmic) came from be-hindeach time tobeatSADD2championandJozi Polo Cup racer Bradley Liebenberg (Bi-rel) and Masters class winner, Port Eliza-beth’s multiple SA Production Car champi-on and GTC racer, Michael Stephen.Another Cape driver and VW Polo Cup

racerUmpie Swart (Birel)was fourth inDD2from Durbanite Benjamin Habig (TonyK-art), former WP champ Jonathan Thomas(PartnersCRG),Bloemdriver JustinAllison(Tony Kart) and Tristan de Nobrega, RobertWhiting andMichael Buchholz rounding offthe top ten.The open age group 125cc RotaxMaxChal-

lenge is one class where Cape drivers haveregularly dominated over the years and thisyear was no exception. Reigning SA JuniorMax champion Dino Stermin (Kosmic) over-

came a difficult first heat to take two hard-fought wins to take overall honours for theday.Although it was no walk in the park, Se-

bastian Boyd (Kosmic) made nomistakes enroute to three fine race wins and a dominantmaiden national high school 125cc JuniorMax victory over local rival Daniel Duminywho drove a characteristically steady week-end to bring his Kosmic home. In secondplace was Johannesburg driver BlaineRademeyer (Birel), Worcester lad JP Ham-man (Kosmic), Mozambican Karl Pitzer(FA), Durbanite Dominic Lincoln (Tony)and local lad Andrew Rackstraw (Tony).Cameron O’Connor, Storm Lanfear and

Jason Coetzee rounded off the Junior Maxtop ten, but Coetzee,whowas second toBoydin the first and third heats, was party to acontroversial second heat last lap that sawhim excluded from that heat andDario Busi,who had led most of that heat excluded forthe day for their parts in some questionablelast lap race two tactics…Theremay have been just one Cape driver

on the other primary school 60cc Mini Rokgrid, but that did not preventwildcardCharlVisser (Zanardi) fromwinning it.Visserwasfirst home in all three races, but was dockedfive places for a startline infringement tohand Kwanda Makoena (FA) a rare out oftown victory in the finale.Visser’sMiniRokwinwashowever all the

more impressive considering that hebounced straight back to win the secondMini Rok race immediately after being sig-nificantly shaken up when thrown from hiskart in a hefty second race Maxteino crash.Now all that remains to be seen is if Cape

Town’s karters can continue to dominate thenational races away from home. The secondround of the SA national karting champion-ship follows in Port Elizabeth on WorkersDay 1 May.

SEAN CAMPBELL

After annexing their 17th senior nation-al baseball championship (NBC) lastweek, all of theWestern Province (WP)

youth teams proceeded to win gold in theirdivisions over the last week.Western Province have nowmade it back-

to-back clean sweeps of the South AfricanBaseball Union’s (SABU) senior and youthNBCs after alsowinning gold in all divisionsin Boksburg last year.The seniorWPA side conquered all before

them as they registered no fewer than fiveshut outs whilst drawing one game to Gaut-eng u.23, which was rained out. WP A beatWP u.23 10-0 in the semi-finals and facedGauteng A in the final after Gauteng A beatWP B 9-2 in their semi-final.

The final was played in horrendouslywindy and rainy weather, which did not al-low for good baseball. The weather favouredGautengA as it stifled theWPApowerhousebatting line-up. Both teams were taken offthe field twice due to persistent rain. On thesecond occasion, at the top of the ninth in-nings, umpires called the game off with WPA leading 7-0. As the innings was incom-plete, the official score stood at 5-0, as it wasat the bottom if the eighth innings.The pitching duo of Jared Elario and Carl

Michaels stood out, with Brett Willemburgand Darren Wedel shining with the bat.WP u.18 A beat Gauteng A 10-0 in the final

of the junior championship. Jarrod Willi-ams pitched a sublime game and was wellsupported by his fielders who turned a beau-tiful double play in the sixth inning. Willi-

ams pitched six innings, conceding five hits,twowalks and fanned two hitters. Hewas re-placed by Brandon Smith who recorded thelast three outs.Brandon Gehlig (2 for 2), Haydon Matter

(2 for 3) and Kyle Ripepi (2 for 4) were thestandout hitters for WP u.18 A.Gauteng A beat Gauteng B 6-3 and WP A

beatWPB 9-2 in their respective semi-finals.In a tightly contested final for u.15s, WP

A beat Gauteng A 5-1. Both teams utilisedthreepitchers eachbut itwasWPAthat tookadvantage of the errors and walks given upby Gauteng A. Just when Gauteng A werethreatening, WP A turned a double play tokeep them scoreless in that innings.WP A beat Gauteng B and Gauteng A beat

WP B in the semi-finals.After losing to Gauteng A 11-10 in the

round robin, WP A beat them 5-3 in an excit-ing u.12 final. The young boys of the tourna-ment had everyone on the edge of their seatsin an awesome display of skills at this youngage.Both teams did very well and gave a good

account of themselves.Western Province Baseball dominance is

good for the region, but definitely not goodfor South African baseball. One would havethought that Gauteng Central, Eastern andNorthern have consolidated into one unitthat would wrestle the dominance and tro-phies away from Western Province.Other regions to have participated in the

tournament were KZN, Mandela Bay, Eden,Cape Winelands and Zimbabwe. Some re-gions entered more than one team per divi-sion.

WP baseball makes clean sweep

Western Province’s u.15 A side beat Gauteng A 5-1 in a tightly contested final at theChukker Road sport complex on Saturday.

A victorious Western Province u.18 A side completed a clean sweep of titles for all WesternProvince teams at the national baseball championships in Chukker Road after two weeks ofaction.

Cape Town Surfriders made it five in a rowas theywon theMandela Bay Trophy, whichwas completed in two foot surf and offshoreconditions at the Pipe, Pollock Beach in PortElizabeth.The hosts, Nelson Mandela Bay, were in

second place while an ecstatic Cape Wine-lands produced their best performance inthe history of the 24-year-old event to takea deserved third place overall.The Cape Winelands Surfriders Grommet

Team’s huge improvement at this event is acredit to the commitment shownby theman-agement team and the preparation of the

team by Head Coach, Danielle Johnson andMark Powis as team manager.In the individual surfing categories, the

following CapeWineland surfers excelled intheir age groups.Anastatia Venter, was placed second in

the u.9 girls age group, with Saffiya Moodli-ar placed fourth in the u.11 girls age group.Che du Plessis and Sune Chadwick came

third and fourth in the u.13 girls age group,with Nicholas Lombard being placed secondin the u.13 boys age group.Danella Finlayson came third in the u.15

girls age group with Rentia Tromp in fourth

place and Ashwin Petersen placed second inthe u.15 boys age group.The following Cape Wineland surfers

were also included in the 2016 GrommetGames Academy squad (individuals recog-nised for their surfing performances at theGrommet Games): Ashwin Petersen, Nicho-las Lombard, Danella Finlayson, RentiaTromp,CearaKnight, Che duPlessis andSu-ne Chadwick.The SA Grommet Games is a national

tournament with a primary focus on trans-formation and development within thesport. Strict criteria must be followed when

selecting teams for the four days of competi-tion. While the main focus of the event is onsurfing, participation in events such as aPaddle Battle, Beach Flags and a Tag Teamcontest are an integral part of the GrommetGames activities.Overall team results:Cape Town: 35 307Nelson Mandela Bay: 29 935Cape Winelands: 26 992eThekweni: 22 144Ugu: 19 529Buffalo City: 19 480Eden: 19 250
