A nip at heels of dog smugglersJUANITA WILLIAMS

A GLOBAL animal welfare organisationstepped in to save 30 dogs at the Namibiaborder.

The recovery of the dogs is thanks to inves-tigations by the Global Animal Welfare or-ganisation and negotiations with Angolanauthorities.

Two bakkies containing the dogs stolenfromSouthAfrica have been recovered at theNamibian border. The dogs were chained to-gether in the back without food or drink.

These dogs represent a minority of largebreeds stolen from SA and transported to theNamibian border en route for Angola by asyndicate operating for up to 15 years. Thestolen dogs are sold for high prices in Angolawhere they are used for dog fights, breedingand as guard dogs.

Kirstenhof police has also launched an in-vestigation into a syndicate involved inbreedingdogs groomed fordog fighting inAn-gola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Detectives be-gan to investigate the theft of dogswhen own-ers reported missing dogs in, among others,Tokai and Kirstenhof. Dogs were also report-ed stolen in Philippi, Kuils River, Mitchell’sPlain, Knysna and Durban.

There are 15 dogs quarantined in CapeTown waiting to be claimed by their owners,and six suspects have been arrested in con-nection with the dog smuggling syndicate inthe Western Cape.

A number of suspects have also been ar-rested in Angola by Interpol and the men arein custody pending a bail application.

TwoSiberianHuskies rescued from theNa-mibian border belong to a member of a Mui-zenberg sledding club. The owner, who wish-es to remain anonymous, says his five-monthold dogs Sabre and Aurora, were stolen fromthe garden early one morning. He hadsearched the area, but they had simply disap-peared. “Huskies are silent, they don’t makeany noise and are not aggressive; they willlick you to death.”

He recognised his dogs in an email sent tohim by an animal rescue organisation.”Wehave been struggling for a week to get thedogs back, as our dogs are now in quaran-tine.”

He described the fate of the stolen dogs as“hideous”. “They are used as live bait, and

are thrown into cages with pitbulls who tearthem to pieces, then the carcasses are thrownaway and the next dog is thrown in the cage.Dog fighting is big business with bets likeR40 000 involved,” he says.

Cindy Slabbert, of Northern Breeds Sled-dingClub, says: “Money talks, otherwise howcan you smuggle so many dogs through bor-ders? I have friends in Namibia who regular-ly bring six dogs into this country to takethem to the vets and it takes hours for the pa-perwork to get checked at the border, so howdo these dogs stolen by scum in South Africaget through the border controls?”

Exporting dogs across the SA-Namibianborder has now been stopped until investiga-tions are finalised.

Slabbert has kept Siberian Huskies for 24years and makes sure they are kept underlock and key. “I know the breed well, but thepopulation is getting out of hand as the town-

ship breeders are selling puppies for R300,whereas a dog which is registered with theKennel Union of South Africa costs R3 000 toR6 000.”

WP Rottweiler Club vice-chairpersonChris Pretorious was sent photos of some ofthe stolen dogs by email from Namibia Ani-mal Awareness, begging him to find the own-ers. He says the dogs are not in a good condi-tion: “I am glad some of the dogs have beenidentified and that the owners will get themback soon. I hope the police thoroughly checkthe identities of all the owners before theyhand them over.”

He says dogs are smuggled out by air androad. “The thieves put thedogs in skykennelswith all the correct documentation and flythem out. Staffies and Pit Bull Terriers, espe-cially puppies, are easy to steal. They lovepeople and will jump into anyone’s car, butthemale dogs hate each other andwhen their

adrenaline is up they will fight to the death.I advise owners to keep their dogs behindfences, preferably with someone at home 24hours a day to protect them. Owners mustthink like adog thief andworkouthow topro-tect their animals.”

Pretorius says: “Rottweilers are popular inAngola where they are used to patrol factorypremises, and the family pet can wind uptrapped inside a security fence corridor forthe rest of its life.”

Brenda Santon of the National Council ofSPCAs (NSPCA) confirms a team of animalrights groups set up a rescue mission and anumber of dogs were confiscated at theVioolsdrift border post. The NSPCA urgespeople not to advertise animals as ‘free to agood home’ and to scrutinise potential newowners when animals are sold.

Put a Spring in your stepPut aPut a SpringSpring inin youryour stepstepDear reader,

Spring offers a chance fornew beginnings, like a sec-ond New Year – ninemonths later.Along with some wel-

come sunshine to comple-ment spring cleaning ofhouse, body and soul,comes a time to dust awaythe winter cobwebs, reflectand commit afresh.I began my commitment

to a more physically activelifestyle by getting up and dancing, albeita bit stiffly, at the Lansdowne Sectors 1,2 and 3 Community Police Forum’sSpring Ball last Friday; following this upwith more applied, energetic moves at ateenage party the next day.My teenage great niece refused to join

me, a few four-year-olds and several teenyboppers as we made the circle bigger atthis family event.Aside from eye contact with the taller

teens, whose moves I attempted to copy,nobody seemed to care that an aunt was“in the house”.What truly impressed me though was

the vigour displayed at the spring ball byMark Kleinschmidt, chairperson of theKenwyn Safety and Security and Rate-payers’ and Civic Association. Part of theevening’s proceedings included the hand-ing over of a sponsoredPeople’s Post bicy-cle to the association.I was in awe when Mark hopped on the

new bike, taking it for a spin around thehall.That’s the beauty of living life in the

present.As adults, we’re too preoccupied with

doing the “right thing”, our image andothers’ perception of us.So much so that we forget to relish the

joyful moments.My insightful weekend culminated

with observing the care and patience my

dad shows my mom.This has not wavered in

the two years she has beenliving with cancer. A rela-tionship of this quality isthe result of decades of to-getherness, unconditionalacceptance and under-standing.This brings me to my re-

solve to enhancemy under-standing of among others,different faiths, beginningwith the Jewish holiday ofRosh Hashanah.

I acquired some information from theinternet as follows: “A day of judgementand coronation, the festival of RoshHashanah is the anniversary of the crea-tion of Adam and Eve and is observed fortwo days beginning on 1 Tishrei, the firstday of the Jewish year”.This year, Rosh Hashanah begins the

evening of Sunday 16 September and endsthe evening of Tuesday 18 September.“Rosh Hashanah emphasises the spe-

cial relationship between God and hu-manity. It is also the anniversary ofman’s first sin and his repentance there-of, and serves as the first of the ‘Ten Daysof Repentance’ which culminates in YomKippur, the Day of Atonement”.Some Rosh Hashanah observances in-

clude eating a piece of apple dipped inhoney, to symbolise “our desire for asweet year” and blessing one anotherwith the words “Leshanah tovah tikateivveteichateim (May you be inscribed andsealed for a good year)”.People’s Post wishes all our Jewish

readers and clients a blessed RoshHashanah.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

to address the deteriorating healthconditions of South Africa’s popula-tion.By 2030, the United Nations predicts

that deaths, owing to non-communica-ble diseases such as heart disease andstroke, of South Africans aged 35 to 64

will have skyrocketed by 40% and nu-trition is a very important part ofman-aging and preventing these diseases.The new cookbook contains popular

recipes submitted by ordinary SouthAfricans that have been adapted by ex-perts to make them healthier.The book will be distributed free to

the public thanks to Pharma Dynam-ics, the leading provider of cardiovas-cular medication in the country.There are also plans underway for

hospitals and public institutionsacross SouthAfrica to adopt its recipesand “healthier eating” guidelines.

TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

VAGRANCY in Kenilworth israising the ire of residents.

The personal effects – a trolleyloaded with plastic bags, mat-tresses, beddingandclothing –ofvagrants could be found againstthe walls of houses in OrpenLane.A Kenilworth resident, who

wishes to remain unnamed, hasexpressed his concerns over therecurring vagrancy in theneigh-bourhood.“This has been a problem in

the community for the past 10years,” he says.“Every time one group leaves

another replaces them and noth-ing is being done.”He says it is disturbing seeing

vagrants copulating in public.They defecate behind the trees,he adds.“It is disgusting what goes on

(in Orpen Lane) and it takesaway the freedom from those liv-ing here,” he says.His wife says: “It brings down

the value of our properties andmy children can’t even walk tothe 7-Eleven, because it is notsafe.”They say their daughters have

been sworn at and have hadtheir hair pulled by vagrants.

The couple have taken up theissue with Ward councillor IanIversen on numerous occasions,but say no permanent solutionhas been found.The husband, however, com-

mends the Metro Police for re-moving a group of vagrants atthe weekend.He says a more permanent so-

lution would be for the City anda private security firm to worktogether to rid the area of va-grancy.He further suggests that “ra-

zor wire be placed on the groundand, more particularly, behindthe tree – where they defecate inpublic – it could be helpful”.Iversen explains there is often

very little that can be done tosolve the problem of vagrancy.“You are dealing with people

who do not want to be helped,”says Iversen.“Many (people) prefer living

on the streets because there areno rules.”He says council is well aware

of the situation and have tried tofind a permanent solution to theproblem.

“We have put huge rocks onthe pavements to try and keepthem from sleeping on thestreets, which kept them awayfor a few months, “ he says.Iversen adds that putting ra-

zor wire and other objects inplace would not solve the prob-lem.“It will only keep them away

until they find a way around it”.Responding to the residents

suggestion of involving securitycompanies, Iversen says the pri-vate security company “worksformoney and are a private com-pany; they are not responsiblefor vagrant issues”.He points out that residents

who pay vagrants, who are oper-ating as demanding car guardsin the street, contribute to theproblem.Iversen says residents should

instead engage in amoreproduc-tive manner.

Readers split on vigilantism revivalDON’T BE STUPID:Tshepo Leboko sayspeople who take thelaw into their ownhands often find them­selves behind bars,while the suspectedguilty party is free. “Itis never good to get vi­olent – even if youthink there is a rea­son. People should letthe police do theirjobs. That is what theyget paid for.”

VIGILANTISM is back on the block,cropping up in communities acrossCape Town, but should citizens take thelaw into their own hands? People’s Postreaders share their views with Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini.

DIFFICULT CHOICE:Lauren Heberdenfeels there is no rea­son why the com­munity should notbe able to sort outtheir own differenc­es. “For some situa­tions you can takethe law into yourhands, as long as itis done without vio­lence.”Photos: Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn and Luzuko Zini

ABSENT AUTHORI­TIES: Olivia Pougnetsays disputes shouldbe left to the authori­ties to deal with. How­ever, she says, the po­lice often take too longto respond to com­plaints, forcing thecommunity to deal withcriminals. “Sometimespeople take the law in­to their own hands toget something done.”

INNOCENT VICTIMS: CindyBanga is convinced that vio­lence is never the answer toany situation and that com­munities should allow thelaw to protect innocent per­sons. “There are times wheninnocent people are hurt bycommunity violence. Howcan you know for sure if thatperson is guilty?”

WASTE OF TIME: Ab­dul­Wahaab Kennedythinks the police arethe reason communi­ties take the law intotheir own hands. Hethinks there is nothingwrong with vigilant­ism. “It’s right. Com­munities should takethe law into their ownhands, because thepolice take their owntime to respond.”

ENOUGH: Melissa­Lee Williams hasempathy for com­munities who suf­fer crime in theirareas. She saysthey can’t alwaysdepend on policeto fix the situa­tion. “Communi­ties are tired ofcrime and the po­lice aren’t doingtheir work.”

LESSONLEARNT:Andile Nqekezafeels mob jus­tice is the rightway to get peo­ple to listenand curb re­peat offenders.“Criminals al­ways comeback after be­ing arrested, soif they are beat­en they willlearn a lesson.”

JUSTICE: Cindy Par­sons says whensomeone is caughtin the act, the com­munity needs to actas the police takelong to respond. “Ifthe communitycatches someone, abeating is suitable.You work hard foryour stuff and no­body has the right totake your things.”

Support group leaders neededTHE South African Depression and Anxi-ety Group (Sadag), is a lifeline for count-less people.

There are nearly 200 support groupsaround the country for many varied men-tal health problems.

However, they report they are severelylimited as there are no support groups fordepression or panic disorder in Ronde-bosch, Claremont, Gardens, City Bowl,Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Camps Bay.

Support groups help people deal with amental illness diagnosis in a well-adjust-ed, healthy way. They provide informa-tion on the illness and ways to treat andmanage it, and they help give patients andloved ones time to adjust.

Theyare also awayof ensuring that eve-ryone, regardless of how much moneythey have, what medical aid they’re on orwhere they live, can receive support and

care. Sadag is currently looking for a re-covered patient, psychologist, socialworker, nurse or family member whowould like to support us in getting newgroups running in some of the above are-as. The responsibility is limited, particu-larly as all the counselling calls are re-ferred through to the call centre in Johan-nesburg, which has lines open seven daysa week from 08:00 to 20:00.

Running a group usuallymeans holdinga meeting once or twice a month duringthe evening or on a Saturday afternoon.

Trainers will be in Cape Town duringthe week of Monday 17 September.

Brochures, new manuals as well as ex-perts are available to guide you throughthe process.

If you are interested please contactKhethi or Dessy on 0 0800 212 223 or0 0800 708 090.

Bikers with a messageWITH breast cancer as the common de-nominator, a group of women are mount-ing motorbikes to spread the messagethat cancer can be beaten.

Riding under the banner of Journey ofHope, the women will this year have asa themeCheck, Know, Prevent = Survival.People’s Post is the media partner for

Journey of Hope.KathyMalherbe, the spokesperson and

herself a cancer survivor, says: “The bur-den of breast cancer in South Africa is onthe increase. Many women and men donot receive adequate care for the diseasebecause of lack of access and low levelsof awareness.Unlessmedical care, educa-tion and screening practices are im-proved, breast cancer mortality rates areprojected to keep increasing.”

Now it its fifth year, the NPO Journeyof Hope continues to educate people andcreate awareness of breast cancer, the im-portance of early detection and providingsupport to those affected by the disease.

The annual bike ride – from Friday 5to Sunday 14 October across regions ofSouth Africa – aims to educate the publicand de-mystifying the idea that only mid-dle-aged women are prone to breast can-cer. The 16 breast cancer survivors fromall walks of life will embark on reachingrural communities by ridingmotorcyclesfrom Pretoria to Bethlehem, focusing onareas in the eastern Free State then head-ing through the KZN Midlands and end-ing at Ushaka Marine World in Durban– thus reaching outlying communitiesand educating them about breast cancer.

FOR THE CAUSE:Kathy Malherbe,Journey of Hopespokesperson, isone of the partici­pants in bike ride.

QUICK thinking on the part of a visitormanaged to scare off three armed menduring a burglary in progress in thesouthern suburbs.

The visitor, a woman, unknowingly inter-rupted a burglary when she arrived at thehouse and rang the bell.The remote gate opened, allowing her to

drive in.Once the gate closed behind the car, the

burglars opened the garage door and ap-proached the car with guns.Refusing to move her car into the garage,

she immediatelyhit herhooter and called theClaremont police and ADT from her cell-phone. The robbers fired shots at her Mer-cedes SLK and tried, in vain, to smash thewindow with the butt of their guns and aheavy tool from the garage.She continued to blast her hooter, alerting

neighbours in the process who called the po-lice.Meanwhile, in the house, the homeowner

and the housekeeper, who had earlier beenordered to lie down on the bedroom floor,locked themselves in the bathroom in theroom.The homeowner had been confronted by

the men when he drove into the garage.They pulled him out of the car, closed the

garage doors and forced him at gunpoint upthe stairs into the kitchen where the house-keeper had been making supper.After asking them to point out the alarm

motherboard and surveillance cameras, themen rummaged through bedroom cup-boards, stole watches and valuables and de-

manded wallets, weapons and cash from thesafe.They escaped on foot before the police and

a security officers arrived.The homeowner warns other residents to

be careful as there is an increase in break-inswhen people are at home.“With our alarms, electric fencing, dogs,

panic buttons, security companies, we be-lieve we are secure, but the reality is we areliving in a false sense of security. This typeof security only works for break-ins that oc-cur whenwe are not at home. These guys areexperienced andwant you in the housewhenthe alarm doesn’t go off. This way, their haulis bigger and theyhavehours toplunderyourhouse.”Angie Latchman, of Claremont police, con-

firmed that the incident took place and thatno arrests have been made.She says therehavebeen similar incidents,

but investigations have not linked them to aparticular group or syndicate.“For the month of August, we have seen a

stabilisation of break-ins when people are athome.“However, the police always view one inci-

dent as too many, and we continue to beef uppatrols, special operations and all forms ofcrime prevention and police visibility in or-der to create a safe and secure environmentfor the community.”She adds the police has formulated a crime

prevention teamwhich focuses onhouse rob-beries, burglaries (business and residential)in the Claremont Cluster which comprisesthe policing precincts of Claremont, Mow-bray and Rondebosch.

Little green fingers grow gardensYOUNG children are getting a head starton environmental awareness as a resultof a non-profit organisation’s efforts.

Roots & Shoots South Africa, part of theJane Goodall Institute South Africa, workswith learners and educators to cultivate anawareness and concern for environmental,humanitarian and animal-related topics.It aims to develop knowledge and skills

while encouraging a sense of ownership andresponsibility in children. The aim is to ena-ble children to become agents of positive andsustainable change.Goodall’s philosophy that “every individu-

al matters, every individual has a role toplay, every individual makes a difference”guides the organisation.Thismeans that each individual, at a grass-

roots level, canmake a positive difference foranimals, the environment and people.The Jane Goodall Institute runs a number

of programmes at pre-schools, primaryschools, high schools, universities as well asyouth and community centre groups. It cur-rently has two Roots & Shoots groups in

Rondebosch. These are at the Forres Pre-School and the Forres Preparatory School.Forres Pre-school has a garden where its

learners get their hands dirty by maintain-ing a worm bin, making their own compost,planting in the garden and harvesting vege-tables. Daffodils, snowdrops and hyacinthsfilled their garden at the onset of spring. Thelearning continued as some of these flowerswere picked and placed in classrooms wherelearners observed buds flowering.Forres Preparatory School has meanwhile

embraced the Roots & Shoots model to formthe backbone of its school projects.Juliet Price, national coordinator forRoots

& Shoots, says that the children have plantedtheir own gardens.“They have a vegetable garden and have

started making their own compost, with a fo-cus on reusing, sustainable living and grow-ing in tyre gardens,” she says.“The group is recycling paper from scrap

boxes, mulching these scraps to make home-made paper, and then using this paper tomake their own gardening journals to recordthe garden’s progress.”

Good and bad of river walkaboutTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

INDIGENOUSvegetation andan-imals are under threat from pol-lution and vagrancy along theLiesbeek River.

During a walkabout the Friendsof the Liesbeek got a first-hand im-pression of the Newlands stretch ofthe river.TheFriends, an eco-group, identi-

fied as priorities regaining thebanks of the river which had be-come inaccessible to the public af-ter construction.The Friends secretary Francine

Dieckmann says it is “very impor-tant” to create more open spaces sothat the river can be a part of thecommunity.They commended that the Albion

Mill development incorporated alower canal bank in their design foreasy access.But, Dieckmann says, “it is just

sad” that the residents of thesebuildings cannot enjoy the river asa natural and accessible urban riv-er, because many access pointshave been closed to prevent poten-tial criminals from entering.On the walkabout it was pointed

out that one way in which the com-munity has been deprived of theriver is through security measuresput in place by residential complex-es along the river.This was evident on the walk

when it was observed that gatesleading from buildings to the riverwere now closed off and extra wir-ing and fencing had been put up toprevent access.Dieckmannsays: “Buildingsused

to have access to the river, but be-cause of crime they no longer do.”Vagrants using the river bank as

a shelter is another matter TheFriends feel needs to be addressed.This became especially of con-

cern when a homeless woman, inthe process of doing her ablutions,shouted at the group during thewalkabout. This reporter accompa-nied The Friends on the walkabout.There was evidence of homeless

people sleeping on the embank-

ment, which was near the New-lands Rugby Stadium parking area.However, they were delighted to

see that a garden area along the sec-tion of the river had recently beencleared of invasive vegetation.The Friends say they feel it is a

great improvement on what hadbeen an unsafe area which had pre-viously been infested by vines,

which had been intertwined withwild ginger.They also point out that invasive

alien vegetation, which had beengrowing above the Arbor Roadbridge, have been removed and thissection of river bank needs to be re-planted.The Friends says the replanting

has to be done quickly to ensure, in

part, that a fence on the river bankremains secure.The group took a closer look at

the river near Albion Spring whereengineers had incorporated depres-sions into the canal floor. These de-pressions were in shallow watersand aimed to provide habitat for in-sects and plants.There were gasps of delight as

two African Black ducks floated byon the water.Joan Parker, of The Friends, says

they also had a pair of the ducks inthe upper reaches of the river. Sheadded, however, that pollution re-sulted in many of the ducks losingtheir ducklings.“A Black Duck rarely moves

away from its residence and there-fore adequate insect life is neces-sary to nourish these little ducks. Ahealthy river and clean, oxygen-rich water will support these ani-mals; a dirty dead river will not,”says Dieckmann.Crossing over to the part of the

river adjacent to the Newlandsswimming pool, The Friends en-joyed the sight of replanted banksof the river.According to The Friends, much

timeand effort has been spent on re-moving the wild ginger from thissection, which also used to doubleas a toilet and sleeping area forhomeless people.Thebankhasbeen replantedwith

indigenous plants.It was evident that the green belt

is popular with residents. Duringthe walk many people were out us-ing the path along the Liesbeek Riv-er. An elderly couple was taking awalk, a young couple were out jog-ging, amanwalkedbywithhisbabyin a stroller and cyclists whizzedby.

Worthy projectDISCOVERING your child has gone missingcould be the beginning of a nightmare for anyparent. An initiative between the police andPink Ladies, an organisation established tohelp find lost children, aims to speed up trac-ing missing children.The joint initiative is to fingerprint chil-

dren at schools and in daycare centres.The project has been piloted in the Nyanga

police cluster, which includes the Athlone,Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi,Gugulethu and Philippi East policing pre-cincts.The fingerprinting will go a long way to-

ward assisting police and parents of missingchildren to closing cases and returning suchchildren to their homes or places of safety.The reality is that children often stray from

safety – their homes, the daycare centres andduring family outings. First Aid points at hol-iday destinations often become an impromp-tu place of safety for children who had wan-dered from their families.A parent reunited with a child who had

wanderedoff is thehappyendingweallwouldwelcome. The other end of the divide is a veryreal fear.It brings tomind themisery left in thewake

of the Station Strangler, who terrorised theCape Flats between 1986 and 1994. The bodiesof 22 boys were found face down in shallowgraves in the dunes of Mitchell’s Plain. Theirhands were tied behind their backs.Norman Afzal Simons, a teacher, was ar-

rested and found guilty on one count of mur-der. The fingerprinting project will also cap-ture eye colour and allergies, with each childreceiving a certificate which can accommo-date a recent photograph.It bears questioning why such a simple, yet

very necessary project, has taken so long toget off the ground. There is merit to the annu-al school photographs which stand in familylounges. These photoswill be a vital accompa-niment to the fingerprint certificates.Each child in South Africa should have

such a certificate.

Get rid of litter the legal wayI’VE had enough of my fellow Pinelands resi-dents who are unthinking and myopic enoughto think the horse and cart brigade providesome sort of valuable rubbish removal service.Anonymous of Pinelands wrote (“Litterbugs

ordered to cleanup”,People’s Post, 4 September)of his encounter with the horse and cart litter-bugs who were dumping rubbish in GousblomRoad.In that incident the very least the police

should have done was to establish who had giv-en the horse and cart litterbugs the rubbish andtaken them to task.In Sunset Crescent we are constantly faced

with illegal dumping.A few weeks ago, after no response from our

local councillor or the Ratepayers’ Associationto my written request for help, my neighboursand I had to clear up dumped bags.These bags contained gardening rubbish (in-

cluding new and old irrigation equipment) by

stuffing them into our area rubbish bins.Now I’ve just walked outside my property to

find that someone has dumped huge bits of con-crete (looks like old foundations) in my garden.My fellow residents, do you really think the

horse and cart brigade take the rubbish theycollect to a legal dump?Of course not. They take your money and get

rid of it wherever they can – and it becomes aneyesore and someone else’s problem.If it is not valuable – as in, resaleable – the

quicker they can get rid of it the better. Don’tpretend you don’t know this – you do and youchoose to ignore it. While I blame the horse andcart litterbugs I also blame thosewho give themthe rubbish. This is a true case of the “commonpurpose” doctrine being applicable.Dispose of your rubbish legally – it’s not diffi-

cult.TAFFY ROBERTSPinelands

City really works for youA CONCERNED resident brought to my atten-tion that our most valuable natural asset – wa-ter – was leaking for quite a while from a drainconnection in Lovat Road, Ottery.On inspection it was also discovered an ex-

tremely huge drain, without a cover, posed athreat to human and animal lives alike.A few metres away I found another smaller

drain, also without a cover. It seemingly be-longs to a house water metre.I forwarded an email to the offices of council-

lor Monty Oliver on Monday 3 September and

outlined the concerns. Within hours the draincovers were replaced.This speaks volumes of the motto: “This City

works for you.” This was shown here.The leaking water issue needed more atten-

tion and on Friday 7 September I saw a Waterand Sanitation team, under their foreman, domajor repair work to stop the water leakage.The team were Luzipo Monde, Stephen Haas

and Wesley Bailey.We, as citizens, have to report these issues

and be patient the City will deliver.Thank you, councillor Monty Oliver.

New columniston the blockCARBON footprints, clean air andenvironmental awareness has tak-en “green” issues into the globalrealm.

To this end, People’s Post welcomesGlenn Ashton to its ranks of writers.

His column – called Earth Pulse –will cover environmental issues in arelevant and broadly accessible man-ner. Ashton says: “I will write abouthow the natural, built and social envi-ronments each relate to the other andhow one cannot be isolated from theother. The environment is not onlyabout living things, it is just as muchabout the inanimate which shapes theenvironment. The earth, mountains,sky and sea frame our lives and pro-vide all living things, including us,with all that we need.”

Our lives are “captive within anendless cycle”. “It is both too slow forus to notice and too fast for us to real-isewhat is happening.Aswater evapo-rates from the sea and falls as rain, itgradually erodes the mountains, fills

our dams, grinds the rock into soil andfeeds the endless cycles of life.”

And while we humans think we areso important, saysAshton, “the realityis that we have been here for just theblink of an eye in the greater narrativeof our planet”.Earth Pulse, says Ashton, will cap-

ture the “huge influence the billionsand billions of people have on theearth”, as well as be about how “wecan each manage to live a life of mean-ing”.

“This is what the environment isabout: if we do not live in balance withour environment, we cannot live inbalance with society or ourselves.”

He hopes his column will help ce-ment our social and environmentallives into something thatmakes sense,that gives cohesion and meaning toour lives. “We live in one of theworld’syoungest democracies. We have obli-gations to ourselves, our communi-ties, our nation and perhaps most im-portantly, to the legacywe leave for fu-ture generations.”

exciting oPPortunities for Persons WhoWant to maKe a difference

R20 could save a lifeTHE Sunflower Fund is encouraging peo-ple towear their hearts on their heads thisyearbypurchasingabandanaonNationalBandana Day.

National Bandana Day is on Friday 12October and all South Africans are urgedto buy a bandana for R20. The bandanasare available at Pick n Pay stores nation-wide.

All funds raised from the bandana saleswill go towards assisting The SunflowerFund in increasing the South AfricanBone Marrow Registry, which exists tofind andmatch bone marrow stem cell do-nors to patients who need a transplant.

In doing so, the fund provides hope tothose suffering from leukaemia and otherterminal blood disorders. Every yearthousands of South Africans, mostly chil-dren and teenagers, are diagnosed with

blood disorders such a leukaemia, mar-row failure and aplasia.

“National Bandana Day is our biggestfundraiser and signature event of theyear,” said Tina Botha, CEO of The Sun-flower Fund.

“We encourage and appeal to all SouthAfrican’s to buy a bandana and wear it towork, university or school on the day.”

This year’s funky bandana design com-prises the South African flag colours withtheword “Hope”written in all official lan-guages.

“Share a Little, Save a Life” and buyyour bandana today and give hope tosomeone else.

For more information on National Ban-dana Day and The Sunflower Fund, callthe toll-free line 0 0800 121 082 or visitwww.sunflowerfund.org.za.

HOPE:EmmaFourie(8), John­David Pot­gieter(11), Co­di Bardien(6), Ur­swin Faro(13) andBathi Lug­wadu (9)are allcancerpatients.

The disease thatis retail therapyRETAIL therapy is supposedto be “shoppingwith the pri-mary purpose of improvingthe buyer’s mood or disposi-tion”.

Actually it is a psychologicaldisorder called “oniomania”or “compulsive shopping dis-order”, according to research-ers atMelbourneUniversity inAustralia.

Some idea of the seriousnessof the condition can be gaugedfrom a 2001 study by the Euro-pean Union which found that33% of shoppers have “a high level of addic-tion to rash or unnecessary consumption”.

Further evidence of the affliction can beseen in the increasing incidence of obesity,which also results from “rash or unneces-sary consumption”.

The challenge for the retail industry is tofind ways to increase the number of onioma-niacs and to make sure they are not cured.

One third of customers making unneces-sary purchases certainly helps the turnover,but imagine the effect on the bottom line ifthe percentage of those with compulsiveshoppingdisorder couldbepushedup to, say,50% or even 60%.

To do this the managers of supermarketshave devised a number of ways to keep shop-pers in the store and exposed to temptationfor as long as possible, while promoting thefiction of quick and convenient shopping.

The favourite trick is to put the newest,slowest cashiers on the express tills to frus-trate those healthy customers purchasing 10items or less. The cashiers are taught not tocount up to 10 and they are programmed toring the bell to call the supervisor as oftenas possible.

Shoppers in a hurry have already learned

it is better to join the trolleypushers in the long queues, be-cause they move fasterthrough more tills manned bymore efficient staff.

But it is a trap set for thosesuffering from compulsiveshopping disorder.

Store managers know themain impulse purchases aresweets, chips, soft drinks, choc-olates and magazines. Theyhave also noticed smart shop-pers, like women with smallchildren, know how to avoidthe aisles where these tempt-

ing goodies are on display.So, to deal with the oniomaniacs and take

revenge on the smart shoppers, they havecreated, in the name of improved service, anew system which funnels customersthrough a single queue towards a battery oftills regulated by a ghost voice which an-nounces “teller number 27” – or whatever.

The system produces nice long queues andthe stores take advantage by lining the routeof these processions with shelves stackedwith sweets, cold drinks, chips, chocolates(the imported, highmark-upkinds), nuts andother tempting treats you avoided in thestore.

Pity the young mother trying to drag twoscreaming pre-schoolers through this valleyof temptation! In a state of acute embarrass-ment, she really has no option but to bribethe little monsters with sweet things.

And so the young are corrupted while theresolve of those on diet is sabotaged and thehealth of the nation is undermined. Is it anywonder that the world has an obesity prob-lem?

But, hey, the disease is good for the bottomline and what could be more important thanthat?

CREATED in 2007 by Kommetjie-basedKahuna Promotions, the EarthwaveBeach Festival showcases the broad ap-peal of the beach and surfing lifestyle,promotes environmental awareness andsustainable lifestyle options that reduceour impact on climate change and raisesawareness and funds for worthy causes.

Buildingon the interest generatedbyworldrecord attempts, the annual festival hasgrown into a two-day multi-sport event thatattracts crowds of participants and specta-

tors to Muizenberg Beach, recently acknowl-edged by National Geographic as one of the20 top surfing towns on the planet.

This year the BOS Earthwave Beach Festi-val is scheduled for the weekend Saturday 29and Sunday 30 September, and will featuremultiple world record attempts for the firsttime. Not only will hundreds of local surferspaddle out on the Sunday to try and break theGuinnessWorld Record for the “most surfersriding the same wave” – currently 110 set atEarthwave 2009 – but they will also attemptto set a new record for the “longest line ofsurfboards on a beach” the Saturday.

The record-breaking attempts take place

alongside the Surf Emporium WP Inter-Schools Championships, the New BalanceWP Longboard Champs and the exciting newSimilasan Tandem Surfing Championships,where a man and a woman perform trickswhile riding the same surfboard.

There is also the Coreban SUP Classic forStandUpPaddleboards andSurfskis, theBOSDig for Gold treasure hunt, the People’s Posttouch rugby tournament and free testing foriron and glucose levels at the Spatone FirstAid Tent. Exhibits and presentations by ex-perts on environmental awareness and skin-care are staged in the giant marquee alongwith fundraising for the Shark Spotters and

the Sunflower Fund.Demos of the latest Land Padding and SUP

equipment, free learn to surf lessons, beachcleanups, and heaps of giveaways and luckydraws will take place on the beach.

And there will be Earthwave parties atRafikis in the city andBrass Bell inKalkBay,where the official results of the world recordattempts will be announced on the Saturdayand Sunday evenings.

LIAM MOSES

CHRIS DU PONT was crowned CapeFight League light heavyweight cham-pion after beating Craig Fourie at theWynberg Military base on Saturday.

Du Pont, who trains at Observatorygym Phoenix Muay Thai and MMA, beathis Durban-based opponent by technicalknockout just minutes into the firstround.

Both fighters came out of their cornersswinging, but Du Pont soon fell back onto his wrestling skills, searching for anopportunity to take the contest to theground.

After initially spending some timewithhis back to the ground, Du Pont wrestledhis way into a full mount and let loose aflurry of punches.

After the fight Du Pont said out-grap-pling his larger opponent was always histactic. “I’m feeling good; I’m feeling fit. Icould have gone on. I stuck to the gameplan and everything went well,” said DuPont.

“The game plan was to stick and move,out-wrestle him, get him to the groundandusemydominantwrestling towin thefight.”

The victory was only Du Pont’s secondin a professional fight, having won hisfirst at the inaugural Cape Fight Leagueevent in February.

He expected Fourie, a more experi-enced fighterwith a reputation as aheavy

hitter, to pack more a punch. “I thoughthe was going to hit a lot hard because ofhis stature. He hit quite hard, but I wasable to wear it,” commented Du Pont.

“I took two big knees and I was able towear those too. I just kept looking for thetake-down. I pursued it and I got it.”

Thenewly crownedkingof the cage laiddown a challenge to all MMA fighters totry to take his title.

The 13-contest fight card produced sev-eral othermoments of action, as amateursand professionals from around the coun-try battled it out.

It startedwith a professional K1 contestbetween Thaiholics fighter Wade Ham-mond and Panther MMA’s Mbouyi Ade-ba.

The fight went the full distance and atie-breaker roundwasneeded to establisha winner after the third round, with thefighters dead-locked on the same amountof points. Adeba was eventually crownedas thewinner after knocking downhis op-ponent twice in the fourth round.

In the evening’s other professional K1fights, Takedown MMA’s Lucky Mokateand Ncedo Gomba of Phoenix fought outa draw, while Cristiano Ndombasseyknocked out Phoenix fighterKevinPhekoin a gruelling contest.

LIAM MOSES

SK WALMERS shook off two months’ring-rust when they annihilated Villagerin a high scoring encounter at Brooksideon Saturday.

Kloof had not played since mid July – duea Ramadan enforced break – but the lack ofmatch practice and training seemed to havelittle effect on their attack, as they outscoredtheir opponents by eight tries four.The home side opened the scoring with a

penalty from flyhalf Shane Vallender andagain added to their tally when Vallenderslotted a drop goal in the 25th minute. SKWrepliedwitha try fromZahierRylandand twopenalties from Adnaan Osman to lead 11-6 athalf-time.

Villager was again the first team to scorein the second half, when they drove the ballover the tryline after a line-out in SKW 22.But the floodgates opened just three min-

utes later, as SKW ran in the first of their sev-en second half tries – five of which were con-verted.Although the match was already out of

their reach, Villager launched an impressivefight back in the last tenminutes and crossedthe tryline three times, to add a touch of re-spectability to the final score. Thematch end-ed with the scoreline reading 56-30.Labeeb Levy, Kloof’s director of coaching,

says his team struggled to find form becauseof their long lay-off.“I must admit that wewere nervous initial-

ly. It showed in that the score before half-timewas quite tight,” says Levy.

“We always knew it was going to be toughbecause of the fast, the lack of preparationand match practice. But I am very proud ofthe boys. They showed they still have some-thing, but we are obviously not as condi-tioned and fit. We didn’t play at the level wewant to play.”Levy adds the lack of conditioningwas also

to blame for Villagers’ late comeback in thelast ten minutes.“I think our defence was solid, but the lack

of fitness hurt us. We let in three tries in thelast fifteen minutes.”The result sees SKW in fifth place on the

log, ahead of UCT and behind Victorians –two teams they will face in their final fourmatches.They will face stragglers Belhar, UCT side

and Maties in seven days between Saturday

15 and Saturday 22 September, before playingVictorians in their final game on Friday 28September.Although the team can’t win the league or

be relegated, they are hoping to finish highon the table.However, they will have to accomplish this

without the services of several first teamplayerswhohave steppedup to theprovincialranks.Hooker Madoda Yako, wings Ederies

Arendse and Ghafoor Luckan and flyhalf Ad-naan Osman will be unavailable in the finalfour gamesTheir neighbours Hamiltons also recorded

an impressive victory against one of the rele-gation-threatened sides on Saturday, beatingTygerberg 64-14. While log-leaders Durban-ville-Bellville beat Belhar 38-17.
