CRAWFORD

School’s field of dreamsEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Residents of all ages gathered at Bel-thorn Primary School on Thursday lastweek to discuss the proposal to build

a multipurpose artificial turf court at theschool.

The tennis courts at the back of the schoolhave been identified as an adequate site onwhich the turf can be built. The existing fen-cing surrounding the courts and schoolwould be improved.

The meeting was held as part of the proc-ess to gain involvement from all stakehold-ers as required for the project to go ahead.

Rashied Majiet, a local businessman andcoordinator of the plan for artificial turf, ap-proached school principal Aneen Abels tosuggest a sustainable model for the schoolaimed at providing some form of income

whilst also offering a platform for more ac-tivities for the community, thus contribut-ing to community upliftment.

The initial plan envisages one five-a-sidesoccer pitch being built, with a view to add-ing a second pitch to the grounds, should thedemand for more activity in the area be over-whelming.

It will cost about R1.34m for the erectionof the first court.

The floodlit pitch will also double as a ten-nis and netball court when not in use for soc-cer activities. A parking lot within theschool perimeter will also be constructed toprovide secure off-street parking for visi-tors.

Currently, Cape Town is littered with five-a-side soccer pitches, but none of them areclose to the Athlone area, particularly Belt-horn.

It means that those who play the shorten-

ed, simplified form of the game have to forkout travelling expenses over and above thecost it entails to use the facilities located out-side of the suburb.

Many purposesThe project is meant to be a multifaceted

one as it will not only provide the youth withan alternative, cheaper venue to play soccer,but also offer nearby schools the opportuni-ty to use the state-of-the-art facilities in asafe environment during school hours.

There is also a view to provide the physi-cally challenged a haven in which to im-prove their motor skills.

“The aim of the project was really to devel-op the infrastructure firstly, and create sus-tainable activity for kids, besides it being abusiness,” says Majiet.

The safety and security aspect of theproject would be two-fold as well, with the

facility providing extra lighting to the area.This will act as a crime deterrent to the im-mediate area during the night while alsokeeping people off the streets and away fromcriminal elements. The facility will alsohave manned security to keep those usingthe grounds safe.

In order to create enough awareness andinitial hype for the venue, the project aimsto align itself with soccer and social clubs,schools and businesses with social responsi-bility being a key component.

Abels is immensely excited about the pro-posal and hopes that the broader Athlonecommunity will benefit from the facility, notjust Belthorn alone.

“I think that it means sustainable supportfor the school and the broader community.It means that schools eventually becomenodes of activity for the benefit of the com-munity,” says Abels.

Changes have been made in the way someresidents are charged for electricity and thenumber of free electricity units they get.Residents who no longer meet the qualify-

ing criteria for the highly subsidised Life-line 1 or Lifeline 2 electricity tariffs werechanged to the unsubsidised Domestic tarifffrom 1 September. These customers will nolonger qualify for free basic electricity allo-cations. A number of residents who nolonger meet the qualifying criteria for theLifeline 1 tariff were moved to the Lifeline2 tariff. These residents will be charged thesame rate as before, but they will now onlyqualify for 25 free units rather than 60.The Lifeline tariff is aimed at helping poor

residents, and is available for all customerswho use less than 450kWh per month on av-erage, who use a prepaidmeter, whose prop-erty valuation is less than R300 000 or whoreceive a senior citizen or disabled personrebate. Lifeline tariff customers will receive60 units free if their average use is below250kWh amonth (Lifeline 1), or 25 units freeif their average use is between 250kWh and450kWh a month (Lifeline 2).The following changes have been made:

. 5791 residents on the Lifeline 1 tariff weremoved to the Domestic tariff.. 8195 residents on the Lifeline 2 tariff weremoved to the Domestic tariff.. 62 669 customers on the Lifeline 1 tariffwere moved to the Lifeline 2 tariff and willqualify for 25 free units.Any resident on the Domestic tariff can

apply for the Lifeline tariff.“Furthermore, residents supplied via a

pre-paid meter are reminded that once theypurchasea certainamountof electricitydur-ing a month, the rate they are charged willincrease – sometimes dramatically depend-ingwhether theyareaLifelineoraDomestictariff customer,” says Ernest Sonnenberg,mayoral committee member for utility ser-vices. “These customers should purchaseonly the amount of electricity that they needfor eachmonth, supplementingwith smallerpurchases if necessary. At the end of eachmonth, the system will reset.”V For electricity tariffs visit www.capetown.gov.za.

Electricity tariffschange for some ‘Many gifted blind in SA’

“Labels belongon cans, not onhumans.”These were the words of Lizelle van

Wyk, CEO of the Cape Town Society for theBlind (CTSB) in Salt River, while address-ing women at a Women’s Month event atthe Society’s premises.Van Wyk said blind people shouldn’t be

defined by their disability because theyhave more to offer.Though the month to celebrate women

has come and gone, CTSB has so muchwork to do. They are aiming to generateR20m over the next two years to help visu-ally impaired people to do different things,Van Wyk said.Part of the CTSB’s vision is to empower

the more than one million visually im-paired people in South Africa to becomerecognised, tax-paying, high-performingachievers and unlock their employmentopportunities. Theybelieve that themoneywould open doors for the many gifted visu-ally impaired people in the country.HelenZille, premier of theWesternCape,

and Natalie Maimane, wife of national DAleaderMmusiMaimane, were amongst the260 guests who attended the event. JennyMorris, a celebrity chef and radiopersonal-ity was the master of ceremonies.Van Wyk said: “The organisation is con-

stantly confronted with social issues likestigmatisation and stereotypes that chal-lenge their efforts to seek employment op-portunities for blind people. Labels belongon cans, not on humans. We must be the

change agents that inspire transformation.CTSB will have to work harder and smarterin order to ensure sustainable income.”Zille said: “Parents who display unusual

courage and fortitude in the face of setbacksand who rise above challenges to raise chil-dren with disabilities are indispensable tosociety.”Zille added parents who rose above the

enormous difficulties to overcome sufferingwere an important ingredient in buildingcommunity.

Maimane applauded the CTSB’s work.“Organisations like this give blind people

their own voice and generate a platform forthe visually impaired to put their issues onthe table. All South Africans can be a VanWyk or Zille in their community by display-ing a heart and a passion for something thatticked them off, and then turn that into acause.As soon as you lift up women, you lift up

society because they are the backbone of so-ciety,” she said.

Celebrity chef Jenny Morris, singer Aviva Pelham, provincial premier Helen Zille, Natalie Mai­mane, wife of national DA leader Mmusi Maimane, and Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape TownSociety for the Blind, were at a Women’s Month event held by the Society.

City takes on permits for Uber taxisNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The City of Cape Town is set to take overthe licensing of metered taxis “imminent-ly”, says Brett Herron, mayoral commit-tee member for transport.Speaking at a business breakfast hosted

by Big Issue magazine, Herron and AlonLits, Uber’s general manager for Sub-Sa-haran Africa, discussed the future of theindustry and “e-hailing”, or using tech-nology to hail a taxi.Earlier in the year media reports indi-

cated that hundreds of Uber drivers werewithout operating permits, due to govern-ment red tape at a provincial level.Operating licences are governed by na-

tional legislation, Herron confirmed. Al-though the City had supported over 1000licences in Cape Town, only 200 had beenapproved.There has also been an appeal process,

lodged by theWestern Cape Metered TaxiAssociation and sparked by concerns thatUber taxi rates undercut the rest of the in-dustry.

“There is nothing in the national legis-lation that matches the Uber operationmodel,” Herron said.But he was hopeful this would be

changed in an amendment bill, and in-clude taxis operating via e-hailing. Hand-ing over the process to the City wouldspeed up the permitting process, Herronsaid.“We’re running out of road space and

we need to find ways to remove or reducevehicle trips,” Herron said.Lits said permitting was out of Uber’s

hands, as the company was “a technologycompany and not a transport company”.And although Uber did background

checks on drivers as well as vehicle in-spections, theywouldn’t “differentiate be-tween drivers with operating permits ordrivers without”.However, Uber did have big plans for

the future, he said. The company current-ly partnered with 2000 drivers andplanned to expand this to 15 000 in twoyears.They were also looking at implement-

ing “Uberpool”, a system that would con-

nect riders with others on a similar routeand allow them to share a taxi. Thiswouldnot only reduce the cost of the fare, butwould also reduce the number of vehicletrips.“Wewant to change the future ofmobili-

ty and offer an alternative to car owner-ship,” Lits said.

Magazine hosts issuesThe slowdown in the economy has madeit increasingly difficult for the Big Issuemagazine to get the level of support itneeds for its work.Themagazine is holding a series of busi-

ness breakfasts, sponsored by and hostedat the Table Bay Hotel, to introduce thepublic to themagazineand todiscuss first-hand the hot talking topics of themoment.TheBig Issue “Big 200” campaignhas al-

so launched, and aims to have 200 peopleor businesses pledge R200 per month tofund the magazine’s work. They are cur-rently half way to this target.V For more information visit www.bigissue.org.za.

Schools nip ‘Charlie’ in the budEARL HAUPT

@Earl Haupt

Schools across the city have been mobil-ised to stop the not-so-latest occult craze

while it ismushrooming across the country.The “Charlie Charlie” gamehas hadmany

parents wondering what can be done to pre-vent their children from being exposed to itsnature, while others have continued to viewit asharmless funconjuredupby thevibrantminds of the youth.A host of local schools have reported in-

stances where children have been found tobe playing the game, with some teachers go-ing on to say that they have brought an endto the activity before losing control of the sit-uation.“We have nipped it in the bud,” says an

unnamed source at one of the schools.“We have had children come to us to say

that their fellowpupils have stopped playingthe game after telling them about it beforewe addressed them about the issue.”Despite the dangers, or even non-dangers,

which may exist, the fact that children havetaken to the game indicates that alternativeactivities need to be found to cultivate amore harmonious environment for childrento interact in.The game was originally played by Span-

ish-speaking girls as a way to “enquire”which boy may like them, but the game hasre-incarnated itself this year in the form ofthe “Charlie Charlie challenge”. This oc-curred when English-speaking youth adapt-ed the paper and pencil game after a videoof the game was posted on Twitter. The vid-eo, originally intended to be humorous, has

since evolved into amore tabooactivitywithparticipants of the game asking a “demon”named Charlie to answer their questions in-stead.The Western Cape education department

haswarned that the public should be carefulwhen dealing with incidents of the CharlieCharlie type.“Children should

be encouraged to dis-cuss any ‘uncomfort-able’ feelings aboutthe incident withtheir teachers, whocould then initiateprocedures for theproper therapeuticresponse processes.Actual instances ofbullying or coercioncould certainly havenegative effects onthe child, but earlyidentification and ef-fective interventioncan ameliorate theinitial effects as wellas the long-term con-sequences.”The department

also states that pro-visions have beenmade in the curricu-lum to teach children to make more in-formed decisions and equip them withknowledge of their rights.“Regular playground supervision by

teachers would also go a long way to curtail-ing such activities and it is also important

for parents to communicate continuallywith their children and to discuss all thegrowth and developmental issues as well asany situations arising from specific inci-dents at schools.”Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-

ant Ian Bennett maintains that althoughschools in the areahave reported in-stances of the gamebeing played, itpoints to a biggerproblemwithin com-munities.“People forget how

powerful young peo-ple are. This is a casewhere there is noth-ing (spiritual) hap-pening in schools.Therefore, there isno form of moral un-derstanding in placeand young people goin search of some-thing new and excit-ing because they be-come bored with theday-to-day things inlife,” says Bennett.He says the main-

stream media arepartly to blame for

the notoriety of the game, which has onlystirred excitement among children to startexperimenting with it.“Children are curious beings; they want

to find things out when they are at schooland are experimenting with them all the

time.“We as adults need to channel children’s

energy. That energy needs to be conductedand channelled into something good. Theyhave a rightful place in our society and weneed to ensure that they have a special placein our community.”

Mass hysteriaWarren Rossiter, principal of Hazendal

Primary School, is aware that regardless ofthe activity the children get involved in, theschool is constantly creating awarenessamong pupils regarding the consequences offollowingmass hysteria. He urges parents toencourage their children to participate inpositive activities and to involve themselvesmore in their children’s lives.“Many of the things that the children

bring to school, they learn in the streets, intheir neighbourhoods. It spreads throughthe schools and then it goes back again intotheir respective neighbourhoods. We arereaching out to parents, because we don’thave a sufficient involvement of parents.“It is only when crisis times happen that

the parents are very concerned, but we needongoing support and understanding fromparents to make more time for their chil-dren. I know parents are tired when theycome from work. Often it is single parentfamilies or both parents are working, butthey have tomake time for their children be-cause they need that quality time.“We are trying to encourage that among

families. We have a very close and immedi-ate contact with the child, but we don’t al-ways have that close communication withthe parent.”

The “Charlie Charlie” pencil game played byschoolchildren is causing worries.

The City of Cape Town’smayoral commit-tee has proposed what it believes is a

“game-changing”policy for the local taxi in-dustry.The proposal aims to benefit the minibus

taxi industry, the City says in a statement.The policy could be implemented if thecouncil approves it.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-

ber for transport, says the policy would im-prove conditions for commuters.“Once the minibus taxi industry is trans-

formed into formal businesses, other roadusers and employees within the taxi indus-try and the city will also reap the fruits, asit will be in the minibus taxi operators’ fi-nancial interest to improve self-regulationand service standards,” he says.Herron says the City wants to work with

the minibus taxi industry in finding solu-tions that will benefit commuters and oper-ators.He envisages amodel inwhich taxi opera-

tors will write up business plans. He sug-gests that the model will lead to less speed-ing and reckless driving by taxi drivers asthey will no longer need to compete for pas-sengers to meet their daily targets and thatoperators will be encouraged to use the cor-rect sizes of minibuses for specific routes,leading to less overcrowding.‘‘Awell-oiledminibus taxi industry,man-

aged in accordance with sound businessprinciples, is in the interest of us all – beit in the form of higher profits for the taxioperators or in an improved service for thepassengers and improved regulation for theCity,’’ says Herron.

Residents upsetat ‘cheap’ workCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Manenberg residents who live in councilrental flats have raised concerns about

recent upgrades to the units, saying theyare “filled with flaws”.

During a recent meeting held by the Ma-nenberg Safety Forum residents said theyfelt the job done during the City’s upgradeprogramme was a job half done.

One resident, who did not want to benamed, said shewasunhappywith theworkdone at her home.

“I am not happy at all because the workthey did was not of a high standard. Theycould have just left the flats the way it wasthen, if this is the case,” the woman said.

“I had to get rid of a few of my cupboardsbecause the contractors damaged the doorsof it during the move. I was very upset whenI found out,” she said.

Roegshanda Pascoe of the ManenbergSafety Forum also highlighted her concernsregarding the community rental unitproject.

“The City of Cape Town says they spentR130 000 on each home but it’s still broken.They put in asbestos roofs and this is ahealth violation because asbestos is thecause of many illnesses. This is not even anissue of using cheap material but it was justa cheap job,” she added. Residents were alsoconcerned about the “poor location” of airvents.

“There are no air vents in our kitchen, in-stead they have it in other rooms of thehome. This is unhealthy as the kitchenneeds a vent,” residents say.

City responseBenedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-

tee member for human settlements, says theCity “remains utterly committed to improv-ing the lives of our residents in Manen-berg”.

“The City looks into complaints as a mat-ter of course as they are raised by our ten-ants. Action is taken on a case-by-case basiswhere it is possible and justifiable to do so,”Van Minnen says.

“It must be emphasised that materials ofthe highest standard have been used in ac-cordance with the applicable nationalbuilding regulations and quality standards.This includes high quality paint products.

“As for the allegations that have beenmade about the use of asbestos: No new as-bestos products were introduced. Repairs toroofsweremerely effected to the existingas-bestos installations, which is permissible,”Van Minnen explains, adding that roofs arenot being replaced but only repaired.

She adds this is not in contravention ofthe Asbestos Act.

The City has completed more than 7500flat upgrades across the city. In Manenberg99% of the 1584 units earmarked for the up-grade have been completed successfully.

The total funding for the Manenberg up-grades is more than R200m.

Van Minnen explains the last of the Ma-nenberg units are being upgraded and 24families are living in the temporary accom-modation village while work on their flatsis completed.

“Unfortunately, an unauthorised suspen-sion of work was instituted by Aecom. TheCity was considering its options, includingthe termination of the contract of Aecom,who has been involved in the programmein Manenberg.”

The upgrades started in April 2013 andshould be completed by December.

Athlone High pupilsrewarded for hard workPupils of Athlone High School have reapedthe rewards of a tutoring programme thatwas started by a local radio station in part-nership with one of the country’s leadingchemists.

The Super Tutors programme was creat-ed last year to help Grade 11 and 12 pupilsimprove their results in Mathematics,Physics and language subjects.

The KFM radio station’s breakfast teamand the Dis-Chem Foundation visited thetwo schools recently to award their topachievers with certificates.At Athlone High School, two students

were awarded top honours. Daryl Mack re-ceived an award for excelling in Mathemat-ics and Keenan Grey for Physical Science.

Athlone and Sea Point were selected froma number of high schools in the WesternCape who showed an interest in tutoring.Sonia van Zyl, head of the Grade 12 pupils

at Sea Point High School, says the school is

seeing the benefits of the programme, par-ticularly in English, where the marks re-flected four As in the second-term exams.The Sea Point pupils awarded were top

achievers Abdul Williams, who achieved83% inMathematics, Antonio Kay for Phys-ical Science, who achieved 80%, Sakheisiz-weMbangeni, who got 65% for History, andOlwethu Mtati, Jaconde Nsumbu, CandiceKnipe and Hassna Ait Taleb, who receiveddistinctions for English.Peter Lombard, manager of the pro-

gramme, says all the tutors who took partdid a phenomenal job.

Lynette Saltzman from the Dis-ChemFoundation wishes the Grade 12 pupils wellwith their upcoming matric exam.

“Todowell and to succeed in life is tohavedetermination,” says Saltzman.Everyone can achieve exactly what they

want through hard work and extra effort,she says.

Children plant green futureEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Green was just the colour lastweek as national Arbor Week

was celebrated throughout thecountry last week.

As trees were planted at variousestablishments, pupils atHazendalPrimary School made a particular-lymeaningful contribution to theirschool’s legacy. With the help ofKonica Minolta and Food andTrees for Africa, 10 of the 40 trees

donated to the school were given ahome on the newly planted sportsfield at the rebuilt school.

The trees will not only beautifythe area, but also provide shade forthose who use the school groundsin years to come.

The planting coincided with Ca-sual Day, which gave a more vi-brant atmosphere to the celebra-tion, which the children thorough-ly enjoyed.

Konica Minolta has donated andhelp plant 5000 trees at schools

across the country in the past year,with 500 trees being planted at 12schools in Cape Town specifically.

Friday’s Arbor Day takes the to-tal number of trees donated by thecompany across the country tomore than 26 000 since 2008.Warren Rossiter, principal at

Hazendal Primary, expressed hisjoy at having the trees donated.

He believes the initiative has en-abled the school to physically dem-onstrate to pupils the importanceof conservation.

“Our children are now learningmore about the actual planting andcare of the young trees and howthey have to nurture it to its fullgrowth so that they can have thebenefits of the shade on the fieldwhen our field is fully grown.

“We have selected four natureconservation awareness ambassa-dors from each of the classes. Wehave 19 classes. So we have twoboys and two girls from each classwho will be promoting the wholeconcept of conserving, preservingand greening the planet.

“From school they will take it totheir families and communities aswell.”

Rossiter added that each classwould have their names attachedto two of the trees,which theywereresponsible for.Although contractors have

planted the seeds for the grass onthe field, it will be a while yet be-fore pupils can fully make use oftheir newly built facility.“Currently the children don’t

have access to the field while thegrass is growing, but it also givesthe trees the chance to stabiliseand strengthen,” he said.Once the turf and branches of

trees stretch out, all those involvedare sure to have their chests burst-ing with pride.

Pupils were taught to unpack, prepare and plant saplings as part of theschool’s Arbor Day celebration.

A group of conservation volun-teers has discovered a living plantso rare it was thought to be extinct.The plant, last documented in

the 1940s, was recently uncoveredon Lion’s Head.TheGraniteCape

Flax (Polycarena si-lenoides) was re-cently found by theCustodians of Rareand EndangeredWildflowers (Crew)team.With 39 species of

Cape wildflowersclassified as criti-cally endangeredby the Internation-al Union for Con-servation of Na-ture, and 22 of these extinct, findslike these are very special.This population of Granite Cape

Flax will now need to bemore fullyassessed andmonitored, so that it’sendangered status can be revised,and more can be learnt about itslife form and responses to fire andother threats, saysCrew’sGigi Lai-dler, who found the plant.“I felt great excitement, mixed

with trepidation at first that Imight be mistaken. But I was elat-ed when the expert confirmed thatone more of our more elusive tar-gets has been found and that wecan now learnmore about this spe-

cies,” she says.Over 2500 sites are sampled by

the Crew team, with 850 speciesmonitored that they are concernedabout. They have discovered 19new species and rediscovered an-other 23. “If we don’t know whereour threatened plants are found,we are not able to afford them any

protection. So re-cording exact local-ities and popula-tion informationabout our threaten-ed plants is veryimportant – espe-cially if we visit thesame area repeat-edly over time andthese records cangive information oftrends – and thiscould provide back-ground data for

tracking impacts of climatechange,” she says.The information gathered by

Crew is important for keeping thelist of South Africa’s endangeredplants up to date and for informinglocal authorities and conservationagencies about areas that shouldnot be developed and that requirespecial conservation measures,Laidler explains.V Anyone who has a passion for plants,even if they are not that knowledgeableabout them initially, can contact the Crewoffice to find where the closest Crew groupof volunteers is that they can join.

He came, he taught, he left.By day he’s the sports presenter on

Good Hope FM’s breakfast show, but whenhe leaves the studio, Dalin Olivier liveshis true passion.The Retreat teacher-turned-come-

dian will bring his hit one-manshow, I came, I taught, I left, di-rected by Stuart Taylor, to hishome town after two success-ful runs at the National ArtsFestival in Grahamstown.Before the comedy bug

bit, Dalin was all set to fol-low a career as a teacher.It was in his third year

at UCT that Dalin discov-ered comedy. Bored whilestudying for his finals, hestarted writing funny thoughts down. Afterpositive reaction fromhis friends, he started“googling” comedy hotspots and got his firstgig in November 2010.“Frommy first gig I knew: This feels good.

That space felt right, I felt like I belonged.”

Coming outAt the beginning of his fifth year, he sat

his parents down and let them know thatwhile it was important to him to finish hisstudies, he didn’t intend to actually teach.“They supported me through and

through.”He decided to do his teaching practicals at

his old schools, Wynberg Boys and SouthPeninsula High School. After graduating, healso did a six-week stint as a temporaryteacher atWynberg Boys, which he says wasnecessary to prove to himself that he wasn’tactually ready for teaching.“Knowing that I wasn’t going to teach, I

thought thiswould be a hub of content,mate-rial-wise.”Dalin describes his style as family-friendly

and observational with personal reflections.His comedycareerhasbeengrowing stead-

ily. He has toured with and opened for come-dians like Riaad Moosa, Stuart Taylor andBarry Hilton and also featured on ComedyCentral alongside Nik Rabinowitz and KurtSchoonraad.

Own showIn 2013 he performed at the Grahamstown

festival with the Cape Town Comedy Club.“I said: ‘Next year I’m coming on my

own.’”

Dalin started writing his one-man show inSeptember that year.“I had no idea what the show was going to

be about.”He put all his ideas on a mind map before

approaching Stuart Taylor, who’d given himhis first theatre show, for guidance.

“I trusted him and I respect his style ofcomedy.”I came, I taught, I left changed complete-ly when Stuart asked Dalin to describethe gist of what he wanted to say. Thesentence he came up with was: “Teach-er by day, comedian by night… try ex-plaining that to parents.”In the show, Dalin maps out his

school-related career, comparing amodel C, dual sex school with an all-boys school, looking at student lifeand then teaching alongside his ownteachers. He also discusses cricket,which has always been a big part ofhis life, specifically coaching chil-dren.

Dream come trueDalin says performing in different

environments has helped the showgrow and mature.“I think I’m bringing a well-struc-

tured, compact product to the Bax-ter.”Presenting a show at the Baxter is a

dream come true for Dalin who told his fa-ther when he started performing that hewanted to produce his own show there.“The Baxter is a sacred space.”Dalin points to the history of the Baxter

and says being afforded the opportunity tobe on its stage is a humbling experience.I came, I taught, I left will be on stage at

the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio from Mon-day 21 to Sunday 26 September. Tickets,which are available at Computicket, cost R60for the Monday night and R100 for the restofweek,with student, senior and block book-ing discounts available.V For more information about Dalin or to get a tasteof his comedy visit www.dalinolivier.com.

Spring is slowly but surely gaining momen-tum and people are packing away their win-ter clothes. Instead of piling and stackingthem in old bags, with some not going to beusednext season,whynotdonate themto theButterfly Box?The first Butterfly Box shop will be open-

ing inOctober at the Threads Project, 349Al-bert Road in Woodstock.. This pop-up shopwill be stockedwith designer and top qualitymale and female clothing and accessories. Itmay become a favoured shopping destina-tion for unique and designer items at budgetprices.

Adderley queenshows off the cityNICOLE MCCAIN

Amuseum telling the story of the MotherCity.This is the vision for the historic Stan-

dard Bank Building in Adderley Street.Although there are more than 60 existing

museums in Cape Town, none of them givean oversight of the history of the MotherCity, says Anroux Marais, provincial min-ister of cultural affairs and sport.Anewmu-seum has not been opened in the city since1988. It is expected that the museum willfirst be proclaimed as a provincial museumand then become a regionalmuseum for themetropolitan area, she says.The museumwill host permanent exhibi-

tions on the history and development ofCapeTown from the earliest times. The goalof the museum will be to reflect the diverseheritage of the people of Cape Town. Mem-bers of the public and heritage organisa-tions are encouraged to make submissionsabout what they would like to see in the dis-plays. The building, which is still owned byStandard Bank and dubbed the “Queen of

AdderleyStreet”,was completed in 1883 andbecame the head office for Standard Bank.In 1922, two additional floors were addedand a new dome was constructed on top ofthe building.The property was originally leased for

£150, making the City’s lease of R100 peryear “a very good deal”, says StandardBank’s provincial head Johan van Wyk.“This is, and perhaps will be, the most

prestigious branch Standard Bank has everhad,” he says. It was decided in 2012 that thebuildingwould never be sold due to its heri-tage value and would be put to use in a phil-anthropic way, Van Wyk adds.The building will also serve as office

space for employees of the department ofcultural affairs, which will enable the pro-vincial government to save “a significantamount of money on office costs”, says pro-vincial minister of public works DonaldGrant.The relocation will be finalised over the

next three months, with the museum ex-pected to open late next year.V Suggestions for exhibitions can be emailed to [email protected].

“It’s only words, and words are all I have, to take yourheart away.” The Bee Gees may have written these im-mortal lines, but as we celebrate World Literacy Day thepower of words goes way beyond taking a heart away.For many it took our hearts to places and spaces we

would never ever dreamt of experiencing.For this young lad from the then dusty streets of Diep

River, learning to readwas one ofmy first joys into a jour-ney of discovery, and probably the first steps tomy careeras a journalist.Arthur Ransome’s words of adventure about a group

of youngsters enjoying country life and sailing took mymind to anotherworld that seemed foreign, but yet so realto fully understand the true meanings of family valuesand friendship.Eventually my appetite extended to the classic Greek

tales of mythology which was probably motivated by thelocal Carlton bioscope regularly treating us to those CecilBDeMille versions ofAchilles andHercules, butwhateverthe inspiration – the bug had bitten – and still bites withmy mind still craving the adventures that words take meon. Another joy of reading that increased the passionwasreading LP covers, discovering the inside stories of someof the legendary recordings of the likes of John Coltraneand Miles Davis that fuelled my love for music.Without reading the many stories of others we cannot

find ourselves, whichmakes the celebration ofWorld Lit-eracy Day that much more important in these timeswhere the electronic media takes over too many youngminds.The calming effect of turning the first page of a new

book, the excitement when you have to keep reading andthe joy, sometimes sadness at the end, is what it’s allabout.Sorry Bee Gees but words are much more than just

words – it’s your gateway to enlightenment.

A 13-year-old multitalentedathlete is the People’s PostLet’s Play sport star of the

month for August.Duran Koevort, who lives in

Glencairn and attends Fish HoekPrimary School, excels in rugby,hockey, cricket and cross countryrunning.He played for theWP u.13A team

at theu.13CravenWeek inMpuma-langa in July. According to hismother Tracey, who nominatedhim, he is a leader on and off thefield.“Hehas been a captain for rugby,

hockey and cricket and receivedcertificates to prove his leadershipand sportsmanship at his school.“He has also performed well in

athletics and has been awarded thejunior and senior victor ludorumtrophies,” Tracey says.Duranalso likes cycling and run-

ning.“He has taken part in the junior

Cape Town Cycle Tour (previouslyknown as the Argus) many timesand this year he participated in themain tour.He also takes part in funruns like Blisters for Bread. Thisyear he took part in the DiscoveryTriathlon Cape Town with hisschool team mates,” she says.As an u.12 player last year, Dur-

an had the opportunity to play firstteam cricket and he was vice-cap-tain.

“He also played first team hock-ey. He received a certificate forbest athlete and a sports meritaward for cross country,” Traceysays.

Favourite sportOut of all these sports, Duran

says rugby is his favourite. “I loveit because I play it well and I canread the game.

By the time heis in matric he would love to playfor the SA schools team after win-ning the u.18 Craven Week withWP.With the RugbyWorld Cup start-

ing in ten days, Duran has mixedfeelings about the performance ofthe Bokke.“I think there is a good chance

that they will win the World Cup,but also a good chance they mightnot because of their recent per-formances.”Springbok full-back Willie le

Roux is his favourite rugby player.“He reminds me of myself and weplay very similar rugby.”Duran trains four times a week.

PEOPLE'S POST | ATHLONETuesday, 8 September 2015 SPORT 15

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

The Western Cape ministry of culturalaffairs and sport celebrated local ath-letes at a special ceremony in Cape

Town last week.Provincial minister Anroux Marais hon-

oured participants in cycling, soccer, judo,kickboxing, netball, sailing, wrestling andtable tennis.One of those recognised was Athlone’s

Marion February, coach of the all-conquer-ingWesternCape u.19women’s soccer team,which won the national title for the secondconsecutive year.February said at the ceremony that al-

thoughwomen’s soccer is developing, it willstill be a while before the structures and lev-el of professionalism in the sport reachesthat of their male counterparts.“Forwomen toplayprofessionally, it is go-

ing to take more sponsorship, more hardwork in the setup at a national level, to getus up there. The sport is developing; theplayers are getting on par with equalstrength when competing against each oth-er, but the problem is that there is no fund-ing for a professional-level quality league.”February, however, still holds develop-

ment very close to her heart, particularly inAthlone.“I would like to see that maybe women’s

soccer academies start within Athlone andI am hoping to get the community girls com-ing in so that we can start from there andbuild them from a young age. The problemthatwehave is thatwe don’t haveu.9s, u.10s,u.11s in women’s soccer. We only start from13 and up.”Shamiel Salie (20) from Grassy Park was

also acknowledged at the ceremony for hisachievements in cycling. He has set hissights on competing in the Olympic Gamesin Rio de Janeiro next year after finishingin 18th place in this year’s Cape Town CycleTour.“My uncles used to cycle. We as a family

went toKalkBay to support them every yearand I told my dad that this is what I wantto do and my goal was to beat their times,because in the Argus it’s all about the sub-three-hour mark. Eventually I finished therace under three hours and that is where Ifound my passion.”

Earlier this year,People’s Post reported onShane Overmeyer’s monumental achieve-ment in being crowned the country’s best ta-ble tennis player for the eighth time in hiscareer. He too was honoured last week.Overmeyer (36) is originally from Steen-

berg, but now lives in Beacon Valley.He says he felt the magnitude of the occa-

sion. “When I saw that the invitation camefrom the minister, I felt honoured. It is notevery day that you get an invite bearing theminister’s name on it; for me it felt special,”he said.

Minors shineHe says the department has done its part

in identifying and acknowledging talent inminor sports across the province. He con-firmed plans to have the cream of the West-ern Cape’s table tennis and badminton play-ers travel to China to further develop theirtalents, which will hopefully be aligned tohis future plans.“I do live in Mitchell’s Plain, but play for

Bishop Lavis table tennis club.My intentionis to open up my own club in Mitchell’sPlain. People always askwhydon’t I join oneof the current clubs already there, but whyshould I join the one clubwhen I can get newplayers and youngsters from the other sideof Mitchell’s Plain?”At the ceremonyMarais stressed thevalue

of excellence and reiterated her pride at see-ing the sports people realise the fruits oftheir hard work and perseverance.“The athletes officially honoured have

done us proud. They have held the WesternCape’s name high at national and interna-tional sporting events. Your perseveranceand focus have groomed you into significantrole models the youth can look up to.”

Local sport heroes celebrated

The provincial department of cultural affairs and sport recently honoured local sporting heroes.Here, Western Cape women’s u.19 soccer coach Marion February is congratulated by provincialminister Anroux Marais.

Upsets aplenty in Coca­Cola Cup on SundayJOSEPH PILLAY

The ever-popular Coca-Cola Cupdid not only bring droves of specta-tors from all parts of the Cape Pen-insula to the William Herbertsports complex onSunday, but alsodelivered its fair share of upsets inthe round of 16.Four former champions, Silver

Spurs, Rygersdal,Woodlands Unit-ed and Central, all made an exitfrom the lucrative and prestigiousknockout competition.To add to the thrills and spills,

MilanoUnited (reigning championand with Desmond Crowie as itsmentor) survived a stiff challengefromValhalla United to eventuallyend with a 2-0 victory after the Val-halla side was reduced to ten play-ers in the 73rd minute after Dam-ien Stoffels was sent off.A two-goal tonic by ShafiekNazi-

er, who scored a brace in the 56thand 75th minute, was enough tokeep hope alive in the competition,although the u.18 side was bundledout after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Is-land Rovers.Milano United will now meet

Masidlale from Nyanga in thequarter finals at the Lingalethusports complex on 20 September.Last year’s champion, Silver

Spurs, was eliminated from thecompetition after falling prey toMasidlale, losing 4-3 on penaltiesafter thematch ended 1-1 in regula-tion time.Meanwhile, Young Idols of Ma-

nenberg set the scene alight withtwo first-half goals by ShannonHendricks to beat Junction Rovers2-1 in a topsy turvy showdown.TheYoung Idols side, coached by

Paul “Gaza” Johnson, will faceLanga Wanderers, who beat the2011 champions Central by 2-0.The match could be handed to

Central AFC after its managementlodged a dispute with refereeWayne Cupido on the grounds thatWanderers allegedly fielded two in-eligible players.

Rygersdal’s demise was met aft-er they had their wings clipped by

an inspired Grassy Park Unitedside, spurred on by former Santos

playerTasleemPaulse. TheGrassyPark outfit edged out the 2005

champion 2-1.Tasleem Ceres was the first to

find the net shortly after the half-time interval. However, Rygersdalwould level matters later onthrough Abdul Damon. But it wasnot to be asGrassy Park’sWassiemGeorge secured the winning goalin the dying embers of the match.In some of the day’s othermatch-

es, Morgenster United destroyedWoodlands United 5-0 in a Mitch-ell’s Plain derby with KeeganTromp (2), Taswill Davids (2) andAshwin Lotter sharing in the goalfeast.Morgenster United and Grassy

Park United will cross swords inthe quarter final while Strandfon-tein, who beat Juventus from Phil-ippi 3-2, will square off againstTurfhall (who beat Spice for Life2-0) in the remaining quarter final.
