SEA POINT

Cyclists park with a viewNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cyclists may soon be able to park on thepromenade so that they can stay andpicnic or play for longer.

A project to install bicycle parking alongthe Sea Point Promenade has been proposedby Future Cape Town and a local developer,Blok.

Representatives from Future Cape Townpresented the proposal at a recent ward com-

mittee meeting.The parking is being donated as a way to

improve the area and will have no brandingdisplayed on it, while Future Cape Town fa-cilitates the project on the developer’s be-half.

While the promenade is cycle-friendly,there are few places to park a bicycle alongthe popular tourist stretch. Many frequent-ed spots, such as play areas, do not haveparking, the team found.

Jacques van Embden, co-founder of Blok,

says the company is based in Sea Point andthey “regularly see bicycle enthusiastsstruggling to find a safe place to park theirbicycles”.

“When we sat down with Future CapeTown we brainstormed how to encourage acycling city. The first solution is to offer safeand accessible parking for bicycles. Our goalis to work in collaboration with the City ofCape Town and use the resources available,whether it be design, planning or construc-tion, to create something that will contrib-

ute to the urban fabric of Sea Point,” he says.At the Sea Point Promenade, as an exam-

ple, it is apparent that bicycle parking is anecessity, Van Embden says.

“The City has opened the promenade towalkers, runners, cyclists, skateboardersand more, which has attracted a diverserange of people. This influx of people has ledto a large number of cyclists seeking a placeto park their bicycles along the promenadeand currently this doesn’t exist,” he says.V Continued on page 2.

OBSERVATORY

Notorious drug den closedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Anotorious drug den in Observa-tory, Mezani Lounge, has been

closed following a temporary sus-pension of the owner’s liquor trad-ing licence last week.

The suspension of the Lounge’slicence follows several raids byWoodstock police at the premiseson the corner of Main and Bowdenroads. The liquor authority pre-sented its information gatheredabout the club to the liquor licens-ing tribunal, leading to the suspen-sion.

The Lounge has been rocked byscandals. Drugs were found on thepremises in several raids. Drugdealers have allegedly sold drugsat the premises in broad daylight.There are also allegations that arape has happened on the premis-es, which led to several communityleaders writing letters saying theyare sick and tired of Mezani andthey want it gone. If they are al-lowed to continue trading, the com-munity would be reduced to noth-ing as drug dealers have a spot tosell their drugs, they say.

After compelling evidence wasput forward to the Western Cape li-quor authority the tribunal filedfor an urgent call to close the doorsof the Lounge.

Now Daniel Lossy, the owner ofMezani Lounge, has to wait for hishearing on a date still to be set.

While this might be good newsfor the Observatory community,

community leaders say a lot stillneeds to be done. They say this isnot a victory for Observatory buta victory for the liquor authority,which is starting to show its work.Community members believe it’snot a good thing that only eight li-quor licences have be revoked in aprovince where there is more than23 000 liquor outlets.

Councillor Paddy Chapple saysmonths of hard work has finallypaid off.

“It’s a step in the right direction.The suspension means he can’tcontinue trading in alcohol and ifhe does so he will be breaking thelaw. We are looking forward to thefinal hearing,” he says.

Barrie Terblance, chairperson ofthe Community Police Forum sub-forum, says the victory for the Ob-servatory community is not somuch against the club as it is overthe dysfunction, inactiveness andimbalance of the Liquor Act and

the liquor tribunal.“[The closing of] Mezani is a vic-

tory for improving the system,which is not working properly.There are a lot of murders, assaultsand domestic violence and onlyeight licences had been suspended.This shows something is desper-ately wrong. Leaders in the com-munity had to write letters to ques-tion why Mezani is still operatingwhen evidence was brought for-ward of the damage it’s doing to the

society. We were told it wasn’t apriority but we kept pushing untilsomething was done. We are gladthat it has worked and there is stillmore than can be done,” he says.

“Observatory is a small placeand having about 60 liquor outletsis really drowning us. A lot has tobe done; the community can’t takeit anymore.

“As much as the liquor authorityis good in handing out licences itmust be twice as good in suspend-ing them if the licence holders arebeing problematic. However, theyseem to be reluctant or very slowwhen it comes to suspending licen-ces. As the community we are de-termined to close those outletsdown if they are destroying thecommunity. The society can’t takeit anymore; we are really fallingapart as a community,” says Ter-blanche.

Zaza Kumalo from the liquor au-thority confirms that MezaniLounge’s liquor licence was tempo-rarily suspended during a hearingof the liquor licensing tribunal.

“The licence was suspendedpending the outcome of an applica-tion by the licensee to remove thelicence to another premise. The de-cision was based on an urgent ap-plication by the liquor authority totemporarily suspend the licence,”says Kumalo.

Since the Lounge’s closure thereare unconfirmed rumours that theowner of the building will be turn-ing the place into student accom-modation.

Mezani Lounge on the corner of Main and Bowden roads has been closed after its liquor licence was temporarilysuspended.

FROM PAGE 1

The parking is not specifically aimed atserious cyclists but is hoped to encour-age more families to use the promenade.

The sites for the installation of bicycleparking are currently being investigat-ed, with the team looking at spots whichare currently popular with cyclists. Theintention is to create parking that willblend with the existing infrastructure.

Green Point Ratepayers’ Associationspokesperson Luke Stevens says thereare a number of areas along the prome-nade, such as play parks, the outdoorgym, the putt-putt and the miniaturetrain, which do not have dedicated bicy-cle parking.

“Having somewhere close to each toquickly secure bicycles should encour-age more people to cycle to the beach-front. There are currently remarkably

few poles or other suitable structures.MyCiti bus stops ordinarily have a waist-height galvanised bar for waiting pas-sengers to lean against; these can alsoprovide useful and simple bicycle park-ing options but for some reason many ofthe stops along the promenade were builtwithout them,” he says.

The Sea Point, Fresnaye and BantryBay Ratepayers’ Association has wel-comed the proposal.

“It is necessary to have a safe space topark bicycles along the promenade andother locations in the area. They need toblend in and be practical. This will en-courage more people to be out and abouton bicycles in the area where they canstop off for lunch, swim or to go to thebeach,” says Association coordinator To-ni van Eyssen.

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 helpingpoor residents, and is available for all cus-tomers who use less than 450kWh permonth on average, who use a prepaid meter,whose property valuation is less thanR300 000 or who receive a senior citizen ordisabled person rebate.

Lifeline tariff customers will receive 60units free if their average use is below250kWh a month (Lifeline 1), or 25 units freeif their average use is between 250kWh and

450kWh 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 canapply for the Lifeline tariff.

“Furthermore, residents supplied via apre-paid meter are reminded that once theypurchase a certain amount of electricityduring a month, the rate they are chargedwill increase – sometimes dramatically de-pending whether they are a Lifeline or a Do-mestic tariff customer,” says Ernest Son-nenberg, mayoral committee member forutility services.

“These customers should purchase onlythe amount of electricity that they need foreach month, supplementing with smallerpurchases if necessary. At the end of eachmonth, the system will reset.”V For electricity tariffs visit www.capetown.gov.za.

City takes on permits for UberNICOLE 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 host-ed by Big Issue magazine, Herron andAlon Lits, Uber’s general manager forSub-Saharan Africa, discussed the futureof the industry and “e-hailing”, or usingtechnology 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 the Western Cape Metered TaxiAssociation and sparked by concernsthat Uber taxi rates undercut the rest ofthe industry.

“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 andwe need to find ways to remove or reducevehicle trips,” Herron said.

Lits said permitting was out of Uber’shands, as the company was “a technologycompany and not a transport company”.

And although Uber did backgroundchecks on drivers as well as vehicle in-spections, they wouldn’t “differentiatebetween drivers with operating permitsor drivers without”.

However, Uber did have big plans forthe 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. Thiswould not only reduce the cost of the fare,but would also reduce the number of vehi-cle trips.

“We want to change the future of mobil-ity and offer an alternative to car owner-ship,” Lits said.

Adderley queen shows off the cityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A museum telling the story of theMother City.

This is the vision for the historicStandard Bank Building in AdderleyStreet.

Although there are more than 60existing museums in Cape Town,none of them give an oversight of thehistory of the Mother City, says An-roux Marais, provincial minister ofcultural affairs and sport. A new mu-seum has not been opened in the citysince 1988.

It is expected that the museum willfirst be proclaimed as a provincialmuseum and then become a regionalmuseum for the metropolitan area,she says.

The museum will host permanentexhibitions on the history and devel-opment of Cape Town from the earli-est times. The goal of the museumwill be to reflect the diverse heritageof the people of Cape Town. Membersof the public and heritage organisa-tions are encouraged to make sub-missions about what they would liketo see in the displays.

The building, which is still ownedby Standard Bank and dubbed the

“Queen of Adderley Street”, wascompleted in 1883 and became thehead office for Standard Bank. In1922, two additional floors were add-ed and a new dome was constructedon top of the building.

The property was originally leasedfor £150, making the City’s lease ofR100 per year “a very good deal”, saysStandard Bank’s provincial head Jo-han van Wyk.

“This is, and perhaps will be, themost prestigious branch StandardBank has ever had,” he says.

It was decided in 2012 that thebuilding would never be sold due toits heritage value and would be putto use in a philanthropic way, VanWyk says.

The building will also serve as of-fice space for employees of the de-partment of cultural affairs, whichwill enable the provincial govern-ment to save “a significant amount ofmoney on office costs”, says provin-cial minister of public works DonaldGrant.

The relocation will be finalisedover the next three months, with themuseum expected to open late nextyear.V Suggestions for exhibitions can be emailedto capetownmuseum@westerncape.gov.za.

A group of conservation volunteers has dis-covered a living plant so rare it was thoughtto be extinct.

The plant, last documented in the 1940s,was recently uncovered on Lion’s Head.

The Granite Cape Flax (Polycarena silenoi-des) was recently found by the Custodiansof Rare and Endangered Wildflowers (Crew)team.

With 39 species of Cape wildflowers classi-fied as critically endangered by the Interna-tional Union for Conservation of Nature,and 22 of these extinct, finds like these arevery special.

This population of Granite Cape Flax willnow need to be more fully assessed and mon-itored, so that it’s endangered status can berevised, and more can be learnt about its lifeform and responses to fire and other threats,says Crew’s Gigi Laidler, who found theplant.

“I felt great excitement, mixed with trepi-dation at first that I might be mistaken. ButI was elated when the expert confirmed thatone more of our more elusive targets hasbeen found and that we can now learn moreabout this species,” she says.

Over 2500 sites are sampled by the Crewteam, with 850 species monitored that theyare concerned about. They have discovered19 new species and rediscovered another 23.

“If we don’t know where our threatenedplants are found, we are not able to affordthem any protection. So recording exact lo-calities and population information aboutour threatened plants is very important – es-pecially if we visit the same area repeatedlyover time and these records can give infor-mation of trends – and this could providebackground data for tracking impacts of cli-mate change,” she says.

The information gathered by Crew is im-portant for keeping the list of South Africa’sendangered plants up to date and for inform-ing local authorities and conservation agen-cies about areas that should not be devel-oped and that require special conservationmeasures, Laidler explains.V Visit www.sanbi.org for more information.

Library’s fountainmay sprout artNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Sea Point library may become theAtlantic Seaboard’s newest canvas, as

the facility is proposed as a site for theinstallation of a new artwork.

Ward councillor Jacques Weber has re-quested that the library be considered forart, although this has yet to be approvedor an artwork commissioned. However,funding has already been made available.

R50 000 will be used to refurbish the oldfountain area, if approved.

“We have spent some money redoingthe library last year and thought that a

nice piece of art or something arty aroundthe fountain would be a great touch to thearea,” Weber says. “I believe it will upliftthe area and make the area more interest-ing for those who use the library.”

Sea Point, Fresnaye and Bantry BayRatepayers’ Association coordinator To-ni van Eyssen says the artwork installedaround the ward during Art54, a projectof temporary art in public spaces, wasgenerally well received.

“Rather than determine a particular in-stallation, we would hope that the oppor-tunity would be taken to showcase young,local artists to help encourage greater useof the site by the next generation.”

Spring into donating clothesTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

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 beused next season, why not donate them tothe Butterfly Box?

The first Butterfly Box shop will be open-ing in Cape Town in October. This pop-upshop will be stocked with designer and topquality male and female clothing and acces-sories. It may become a favoured shoppingdestination for unique and designer itemsat budget prices.

Friend’s deathmobilises pupilsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Camps Bay pupils have handed a memo-randum to provincial community safety

minister Dan Plato in an appeal for im-proved policing in Imizamo Yethu.The memorandum, drafted by Grade 10

pupil Meghan Howell, follows the death ofa Camps Bay High pupil during a robberyin July. It was supported by over 400 pupilsat the school.“Camps Bay High students are in unison

saying ‘It is enough!’ We would like to ap-peal to you, in KwekweNgethu’s honour, todo something positive to end the needlesscrime and violence in this township andcommunity.We ask that his death bring thenecessary attention to this situation, so thathe not have died in vain,” thememorandumstates.The pupils have called for increased visi-

ble policing in the Hout Bay township fol-

lowing the incident, as well as positive in-terventions in the community to reducecrime.Arrangements are underway to hand the

memorandum over to the Hout Bay policeas well.Howell says the memorandum promotes

the idea that the youth have a right to besafe regardless of the community, lifestyleor environment they live in.“It doesn’t seem toomuch to ask to bekept

safe as a student, to live and go to school,knowing that you are safe to do so. It is ourright as young people not to have to fear at-tacks on our lives,” she says.Plato says youth involvement in safety is-

sues is vital, as theyouthhear and see crimeon a daily basis and are often asked to “getdrawn in”.“Drug runners don’t care about who you

are and where you live. The youth want tosee change and want to be part of thatchange,” he says.

Schools nip ‘Charlie’ in the budEARL HAUPT

@Earl Haupt

Schools across the city have beenmobilised to stop the not-so-latestoccult craze while it is mushroom-ing across the country.The “Charlie Charlie” game has

had many parents wondering whatcan be done to prevent their chil-dren from being exposed to its na-ture,while others have continued toview it as harmless fun conjured upby the vibrant minds of the youth.A host of local schools have re-

ported instances where childrenhave been found to be playing thegame, with some teachers going onto say that they have brought an endto the activity before losing controlof the situation.“We have nipped it in the bud,”

says an unnamed source at one ofthe schools.“We have had children come to us

to say that their fellow pupils havestopped playing the game after tell-ing them about it before we ad-dressed them about the issue.”Despite the dangers, or even non-

dangers, which may exist, the factthat childrenhave taken to thegameindicates that alternative activitiesneed to be found to cultivate a moreharmonious environment for chil-dren to interact in.The game was originally played

by Spanish-speaking girls as a way

to “enquire” which boy may likethem, but the game has re-incarnat-ed itself this year in the form of the“Charlie Charlie challenge”. Thepaper and pencil game has sinceevolved into a more taboo activitywith participants of the game ask-ing a “demon” named Charlie to an-swer their questions instead.The Western Cape education de-

partment has warned that the pub-lic should be careful when dealingwith incidents of the Charlie Char-lie type.

“Children should be encouragedto discuss any ‘uncomfortable’ feel-ings about the incident with theirteachers.”The department also states that

provisions have been made in thecurriculum to teach children tomake more informed decisions andequip them with knowledge of theirrights.“Regular playground supervision

by teacherswould also go a longwayto curtailing such activities and it isalso important for parents to com-municate continually with theirchildren.”Manenberg police spokesperson

Lieutenant Ian Bennett maintainsthat while schools in the area havereported instances of the game be-ing played, it points to a bigger prob-lem within communities.“Young people go in search of

something new and exciting be-cause they become bored with theday-to-day things in life,” says Ben-nett.He says the mainstream media

are partly to blame for the notorietyof the game, which has only stirredexcitement among children to startexperimenting with it.“Children are curious beings;

they want to find things out whenthey are at school and are experi-menting with them all the time. Weas adults need to channel children’senergy.”

The “Charlie Charlie” pencil gameplayed by schoolchildren is causingworries among teachers and parents.

Many gifted blindin SA, women hearTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Labels belong on cans, not on humans.”These were the words of Lizelle van

Wyk, CEO of the Cape Town Society for theBlind (CTSB) in Salt River, while address-ingwomenat aWomen’sMonth event at theSociety’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 comeand gone, CTSBhas somuchworkto do. They are aiming to generate R20mover the next two years to help visually im-paired people to do different things, VanWyk said.Part of the CTSB’s vision is to empower

the more than one million visually im-pairedpeople inSouthAfrica to becomerec-ognised, tax-paying, high-performingachievers and unlock their employment op-portunities. They believe that the moneywould open doors for the many gifted visu-ally impaired people in the country.Helen Zille, premier of the Western Cape,

and Natalie Maimane, wife of national DAleader Mmusi Maimane, were amongst the260 guests who attended the event. JennyMorris, a celebrity chef and radiopersonali-

ty 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 thechange agents that inspire transformation.CTSBwill have towork 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 said parents who rose above the

enormous difficulties to overcome suffer-ing were an important ingredient in build-ing community.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 Van Wyk or

Zille in their community by displaying aheart and a passion for something thatticked them off, and then turn that into acause. As soon as you lift up women, youlift up society because they are the back-bone of society,” she said.

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

LET’S GO! A total of 160 (mostly female) members of the City’s safety and securitydirectorate participated in a 5km fun walk from Mouille Point to Sea Point Promenadeon Sunday last week. The walk was a culmination of all the directorate’s activities inhonour of Women’s Month. JP Smith, mayoral committee member for safety andsecurity, and other senior members of the directorate joined in the walk in support ofthe event. The walk generated R10 000 which will be split between two organisations,an orphanage caring for children with HIV/Aids and an organisation working withabused women. For their participation participants were each given a goodie bag.Pictured is Louise Liemberg, a staff member from traffic services.

ters all year round and beach usersshould be aware that there is always asmall possibility of encountering one ofthese animals.“However, surfers are asked to be espe-

cially vigilant in the stretch betweenSun-rise and Macassar beaches during thespring and summer months, as researchhas shown that the shark presence inthese waters increases at this time ofyear,”says Johan van der Merwe, mayor-al committee member for energy, envi-ronmental and spatial planning.The Shark Spotters information centre

is open daily to the public from 08:00 to18:00.Beach and ocean users should keep in

Secrets of our waters on displayNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Take a peak under the sea as two interna-tional photographers capture the se-

crets of our deep.Work by Joris van Alphen and Mac

Stonewill be on display on theMuizenbergcatwalk thisweek, as part of the third bien-nial Shark and Ray Symposium.Van Alphen’s exhibition transports visi-

tors underwater to see False Bay’s rockyreefs and kelp forests and meet the charis-matic reef fishes of these habitats. His im-ages also give you a glimpse into the histo-ry of fishing in False Bay and the colourfulcharacters who engage in this activity rec-reationally and for their livelihoods.Stone’s exhibition depicts the delicate

balance between people and sharks inFalse Bay. It introduces visitors to a fewof the bay’s shark species, shedding a dif-ferent light on these beautiful and diversecreatures, their relationship with us, andthe Shark Spotters who are working tokeep them all safe.The photographers are recipients of the

Marine Conservation Photography grant,which is awarded annually to emergingyoung conservation photographers. Thegrant was launched by the Save our SeasFoundation last year.The Foundation wants powerful images

to tell important conservation stories.“We fund some of the most creative and

well-knownmarine scientists who are bat-tling major conservation issues rangingfrom establishing marine protected areasto safeguarding endangered species. TheMarine Conservation Photography Grantwinners work with our project leaders totell stories that drive conservation change.By harnessing the Foundation’s skills inconservation media, we want to mentor,uplift and drive the next generation of con-servation photographers,” says Save OurSeas Foundation spokesperson JadeSchultz.

Van Alphen, from the Netherlands, saysmany of the reef fishes that live here arefound only in South Africa. “False Bay isparticularly special, because it lies at theintersection of major currents comingfrom the Atlantic and the Indian oceans.Species normally found only in the colderwaters to the east, and those in thewarmerwaters to the west, occur together in FalseBay. This makes it an exceptionally di-verse and beautiful place. I have neverseen anything like it. I can’t stress enoughhow unique it is,” he says.He hopes to highlight overfishing in the

bay, which despite often being associatedwith large-scale industrial fishing, is alsorooted in fishing methods like angling orspearfishing when targeting fish living onreefs. “The problem is that these species of-ten take many years before they are oldenough to reproduce. On top of that most

of them are territorial. This makes themextremely sensitive to overfishing. Andonce overfished, a reef takes decades to re-cover. This is why no-take zones are essen-tial to the health of the fish stocks. FalseBay is in urgent need of more no-takezones, and better enforcement. The col-lapse of these species is not just a tragedyfor the environment, but also for the peoplethat depend on them for food and income,”he says.Based in Florida in the United States,

Stone says sharks have the terriblemisfor-tune of being feared, hated and tragicallymisunderstood. “Yet these endemic sharksare every bit as iconic as their celebratedterrestrial counterparts. Many residentsaround False Bay never get the chance tosee all the incrediblewildlife that lives justbeneath the surface but they deservepraise all their own,” he says.

“I want the residents of False Bay to beproud of the world-class treasure that istheir backyard. Shark Spotters is an im-portant step in this direction. False Bay issetting a global example of what can be ac-complished through sound conservationpolicies to establish and maintain ahealthy balance between their natural andcultural heritage.Myhope is that these im-ages help reveal the tenuous interface be-tween wilderness and civilization and thegracefulness with which South Africa ishandling this.”Schultz hopes the exhibition will spark

conservation action among those viewingthe photos, such as choosing to eat onlysustainably sourced seafood.“We are hoping that the exhibition will

raise awareness about the unique, but deli-cate, biodiversity that exists beneath thewaves in False Bay,” she says.

The City of Cape Town’s mayoral commit-tee has proposed what it believes is a“game-changing” policy for the local taxiindustry.The proposal aims to benefit theminibus

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 the commuters whouse taxis.“Once theminibus 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 a model in which taxi oper-

ators will write up business plans. He sug-gests that the model will lead to less speed-ing and reckless driving by taxi drivers astheywill no longer need to compete for pas-sengers to meet their daily targets and thatoperatorswill be encouraged to use the cor-rect sizes of minibuses for specific routes,leading to less overcrowding.‘‘This new model will require a mindset

change from us all and dedication. A well-oiledminibus taxi industry,managed in ac-cordance with sound business principles,is in the interest of us all – be it in the formof higher profits for the taxi operators orin an improved service for the passengersand improved regulation for theCity,’’ saysHerron.

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 Coca-Cola 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.
