Own homes now in reachJUANITA WILLIAMS

AT LAST tenants of Steurhof cottages inDiepRiverwill beable tobuy theirhomes.

City officials Meloney Ravells and FelicityJohnson delivered the good news at a packedmeeting in the community hall on Thursday.

Ownership has been dogged by delays formany years and earlier this year, ward coun-cillor Carol Bew called for a progress report.

There was a hold-up because the correctselling prices had not been resolved, and theCity’s Deed of Sale had to be reviewed in linewith the Consumer Protection Act.

Once the survey to establish whether thelegal tenant is living at the house was final-ised, about 130 tenants received letters in-forming them they had the option to purchasetheir homes.

“This is an historical moment,” says Bew.“Steurhof is on the brink of a new era full ofhope and opportunity for the future. TheAgreement of Sale has finally come throughfrom the legal department and the City hasmade further discounts available. There isnothing that can stand in the way of the suc-cessful applicants signing offers to pur-chase.’’

Steurhof cottages, on Boundary Road, wereoriginally built to accommodate returningsoldiers from World War II. Promises of own-ership were dashed to the ground when theirfamilies were forced to move to Lavender Hillby the Group Areas Act. Many years latersome of the original residents returned to theestate lured by promises of ownership.

Bew says the individual selling prices havebeen determined based on the municipal val-ue of the property, the size and number ofrooms. Several subsidies and benefits havebeen made available and a discount of R500on the R1 800 transfer fees has been offeredby the City. “Tenants who don’t wish to pur-chase their homes can continue to rent andmake an offer to purchase at a later date, sothey will not lose the opportunity to own theirhomes,’’ says Bew.

Residents who accept the subsidy on thecost of the properties will not be able to sellthe houses for eight years. However, thosewho pay the full price in cash are free to sell,once the Deed of Sale has been transferred onto their name.

Ravells warns residents that buying theirown home at such a discounted price is a

once-off chance in a lifetime – and they shouldbe careful not to sell the houses for a quickprofit to developers – and regret it later.

Eligible tenants can also benefit from theEnhanced Extended Discount BenefitScheme (EEDBS). This was explained to ten-ants at community meetings and by Bew andCouncil staff who visited the tenants in theirhomes to explain the process.

‘’We have made it very clear that homeowners will have to take full responsibilityfor the insurance on their property and themaintenance,’’ says Bew.

To prevent the owners getting into debt forservices, the cottages have been fitted with

prepaid electricity meters and blue watermanagement devices. “These devices werecompulsory if the water bills were in ar-rears,’’ says Bew. This device monitors theflow of water; once the limit is reached, ten-ants have to buy more units.

Gaining the right to buy the cottages hasbeen a long battle for the tenants. John Fortu-in (72) of the Steurhof Residents’ Assocationsays originally the whole housing estate wason one erf and it took years to process the sub-division.

“I was born in Steurhof, my parents wentto live there in 1940. When I got married, Imoved to Athlone. During the forced remov-

als, my parents had to move out of Steurhofand go to live in Lavender Hill. When my firstwife died, I married a lady who lived on theestate and moved back to Steurhof.”

Bew says she is delighted that she was ableto deliver on her election promise to make adifference and create better opportunities forhousing.

To assist residents, a pilot housing officewill be available in the community hall everyTuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00to noon from today until Thursday 13 Decem-ber. A special ceremony to celebrate the sign-ing of the offers-to-purchase will be attendedby mayor Patricia de Lille next month.

longs to the provincial administration,was opened on 19May 1971 as the NicoMa-

lan Theatre Centre. In line with the newSouth African political dispensation andthe concurrent changes the complex wasrenamed Artscape in March 2001.Historically, the Cape Performing Arts

Board (Capab) was instituted in the earlysixties. The aim was to promote the per-forming arts and the arts councils re-ceived government subsidies to fund vari-ous art forms as well as the operational re-quirements of the theatre facilities.Artscape chairperson Professor Soma-

doda Fikeni and CEO Micheal Maas willreveal the full scope of the plans of the Art-scape Live Vision 20!20 strategy at the Art-scape Opera House on the Foreshore inCape Town.Ample parking can be found behind the

complex, with the entrance from HertzogBoulevard.For further information, contact Frik-

Hawkers Welcome

Begging trio sparks ireJUANITA WILLIAMS

THE behaviour of three boys – believedto be responsible for an attack on a 90-year-old woman – are cause for concernto Southfield residents.

No-one knows where the boys live, al-though it is believed they may be fromParkwood.The trio, aged about nine to 12 years, reg-

ularly beg from motorists at the intersec-tions of Victoria and De Waal roads and DeWaal Road and the M5.One motorist describes them as “ex-

tremely scary”when they approachdriverswaiting at the robots.GiffordFreeman, of the SouthfieldNeigh-

bourhood Watch, says he has received re-ports that the boys swear at people, invadeprivate properties and have been a nui-sance for a few years.While on patrol, Freeman says he has

seen them around at 03:00. He suspects theyare being influenced by an elder boy whoallegedly has a criminal record for housebreak-in.“I have seen (him) hiding in a telephone

box nearby. These boys obviously have nodiscipline at home and don’t seem to go toschool. I have emailed and phoned wardcouncillor Jan Burger.“When social services went to check the

boys they just ran away. Social services saythey can’t intervene without speaking tothe parents, but no one knows their ad-dress. I have tried every avenue – police,councillor, social services and still nothinggets done.”Freeman says although the police regu-

larly chase the boys away, they return topester motorists and residents.The boys are also frightening the elderly.

A woman (90) complained that when shetried to chase one boy out of her garden,he picked up a branch and hit her.

It is suspected the boys are being fed bya family in the area, and this is encouragingthem to hang around.Freeman says he is very concerned about

their welfare: “I hate to see them suffer. Ihave children myself and want to get some-thing done, before it is too late.”Burger says he has spoken to all the rele-

vant authorities and was under the impres-sion the children had gone back to theirhome, as he hasn’t seen them in the areafor a while.He is concerned about the numbers of

children who seem to be playing truantfrom school and hang around Southfieldand Princess Vlei.He appeals to parents to make sure their

children are going to school every day.A spokesperson for the Village Care Cen-

tre in Montague Village, Lavender Hill,says theywould send a careworker to speakto the children and find out why they arenot in school and speak to the parents.The centre runs a drop-in facility for chil-

dren not at school. They get breakfast andlunch, but are expected to go home in theevening.Call the centre on (021) 701 8840.

WHETHER it’s a shove ornasty comment,bullying has a disastrous impact.

In a recent incident in Johannesburg, a pu-pil shot and killed a classmate who had ap-parently been tormenting him – and others– for years.But is enough being done to protect those

on the receiving end of the abuse?People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini and Tar-

ren-Lee Habelgaarn polled readers for theirviews.

SaySay ‘no’‘no’toto bulliesbullies

TTALKALK ITIT OUT:OUT: Ferdinand Nell believes bullyingis part of growing up. “It takes talking to a bullyto fully understand why they are doing that. Ithink it is more of a selfesteem thing; bulliesdo it for popularity or to boost their selfesteem. Bullying is a natural part of being achild.”

CLOSEWACLOSEWATCH:TCH: Phakama Ncapayi believes pupils need to be watched during school hours.“The police and school governing body members must be visible at schools so they canidentify the bullies.”

INTERINTERVENE:VENE: Allen Rinquest believes parentsshould get involved should they suspect theirchildren are being victimised. “Parents muststand up for their children and go to talk to theprincipals on how to stop bullying in schools.”

NONO SUPPORT:SUPPORT: Gilbert Mapfumo says bullyingis bad and thinks all people deserve to be treated equally. “If you are taught from an early ageto respect others and lead by example, bullying shouldn’t be a problem.”

WWALK AWAALK AWAY:Y: Deborah van Rensburg feels ifyou are being bullied, you should be the betterperson and not fight back. “Rather walk away.Sometimes it is difficult because teachers alsovictimise children. If a child does somethingwrong once, don’t blame him when somethinghappens.”

EDUCAEDUCATE:TE: PeterMabutsana says parents needto teach their children how to handle bullyingand how to treat other people and children. “Ifyou are taught the right values and how to handle peer pressure by your parents from a youngage, it will help you. Youwill then have the rightattitude and will know how to handle it.”

Baboon attacks woman in TokaiA SWISS woman hiker was pushed to theground by a male baboon in the TokaiForest on Thursday 15 November.

The attack by TK24 of the Tokai troop costhimhis life and hewas euthanised by the Ba-boon Technical Team (BTT) the next day.The baboonhad ahistory of being aggressiveon seven other occasions, and was involvedin five raids aweekaround theTokaiArbore-tum.A US research team in the area was scared

off by him when they were following theTokai troop.The attack was witnessed by a resident of

Zwaanswyk.She says that she was out walking in the

Tokai Plantation and saw a troop of baboonson the path.“This happens very regularly onourwalks

in the forest, and we paid them no attentionasusual.Wewere alarmed tohear screaminga few metres ahead of us, and saw a womanhiker fighting off a large male baboon.“I have lived in Zwaanswyk Road formore

than 20 years and walk in the forest three orfour times a week, and have never seen any-thing like this happen before. We rushed tothe woman’s assistance, screaming andthrowing rocks at the animal. The baboongrabbed her rucksack and ransacked it thor-oughly. There was no doubt that all it con-

tained was a pullover and her cellphone,”says the resident.“Although thewomanwalked behind us to

present a united front, the baboon leapt onher and physically attacked her five or sixtimes.“He bared his fangs at us and mock

charged, regardless of our shouts and stone-throwing. He also had a young ‘accomplice’,who was distracting us from the other sideand who also made mock-charges, eventual-ly the baboon left her alone.”BTT took the decision to euthanise TK5 af-

ter ongoing and concerted management ef-forts had failed to curtail its habitual raidingin urban areas. He had formed a splintertroop and was having a negative influence

over the other baboons.Originally amemberof theTokai troop,TK5was relocated toKom-metjie aspart ofBTT’s assisteddispersal pro-tocol.He was integrated into the Slangkop troop

in 2009 and succeeded in securing alpha sta-tus.He has since been deposed as the alpha

male and, over the past three months, haspersisted in breaking away from the rest ofthe troop to raid on his own or with a smallsplinter group comprising three females andthree juveniles.

Tale of intriguein WynbergJUANITA WILLIAMS

TAKE the story of the missing Krugermillions, spice it with a dash of romanceand intrigue, set the scene in historic Tro-vato House, Upper Wynberg, and it’s theperfect recipe for a best seller.

That was Dr Helen Robinson’s formula forher fifth book and first novel, The TrovatoLink. Historian Robinson has written anumber of local history books – Wynberg –A special place, Beyond City Limits, Shake-speare at Maynardville and The Villages ofthe Liesbeeck.The book was launched at Trovato House,

the Sir Herbert Baker mansion in UpperWynberg. Robinson explains she has alwaysbeen fascinated by the story of the Krugermillions and the book “gives me a chance topresent my theory”.After months of research in the archives

at the Deeds Office, she finished the novel in

nine months. “The heroine Jessica is an ar-cheologist from Manchester University andthe story begins when she visits relativeswho are the managers at Trovato House,”says Robinson, who uses lively dialogue totell her story.Her love of dialogue is a spin-off from dra-

ma training and years in theatre.Robinson throws into the plot secret pas-

sageways, haunting and plenty of puzzlingevents. She admits being a Dan Brown fanand writes her first draft in pencil before ed-iting the copy on computer.The novel promises plenty of mystery and

violence during clashes with other treasureseekers, “plus some sex and romance,” saysRobinson, who admits to reading 50 Shadesof Grey, but has not imitated it. Never oneto rest on her laurels and past successes, sheis already working on her next book, docu-menting the history of the Constantia Val-ley. The book is available at leading book-stores or from Robinson on (021) 797 9600.

It is a dirty job,but it puts foodon their tableJUANITA WILLIAMS

SORTING out Constantia’s householdwaste has created jobs for 150 previouslydisadvantaged people.

The drop-off centre, which is situated be-hind Constantia Village Shopping Mall,makes recycling a breeze.Customers can drive right up to the door,

open their car boots and in minutes the stuffis offloaded by the staff.Malcolm Smith of Wasteman explained

that there is no need to sort the stuff beforedropping it off.“It can be packed in one bag, as all the

waste goes into the compactors. Then it iscollected and delivered to our factory in Air-port Industria, where it is sorted at themate-rials recovery facility by a team of workerswho work 24/7,” says Smith.Not only does recycling packaging and

waste provide jobs, it also saves tons of recy-clable materials from being dumped into thecity’s overflowing landfill sites.Once the waste has been sorted, graded

and bailed, it is sold to various recyclingcompanies – including Collect a Can, Nam-pak, Sappi, Petco and Consol Glass, whilethe plastics are sold to local recyclers.“An average of14 tons a month is collected

from the Constantia depot, which also proc-esses all the waste generated from the shop-

ping centre,” says Smith..Wasteman also collects another six tons

from the recycling centre situated at KwikSpar.During Green Week last year, the compa-

ny had an awareness display in the mall toeducate the shoppers about recycling.Wasteman also collects waste from Grand

West Casino, the V&A Waterfront, the Uni-versity of Cape Town, the University of theWestern Cape, the Cape Peninsula Universi-ty of Technology, shopping centres and busi-nesses in the city.The green and orange igloos in front of the

recycling depot are managed separately bythe Friends of the Greenbelt.The glass and paper or cardboard collected

in these igloos are collected by Consol Glassand Sappi and the proceeds are used to fundmaintenance, control alien vegetation, buildpaths and bridges, as well as other projects.Chairperson of the Friends, Brian Rat-

cliffe says these igloos have been in use since1998. This makes the igloos one of the firstrecycling facilities in the area.Other drop-off points for recycling waste

include Waldorf/Constantia School, Spaan-schemat River Road: domestic waste; Oasis,Garfield Road, Claremont: domestic waste;Ladies Mile Drop Off, Ladies Mile: gardenwaste, builders rubble and household appli-ances; andWynberg DropOff, RosmeadAve-nue, Wetton: garden and domestic waste.

People’s Post Constantia-Wynberg LEADER Tuesday 27 November 2012

School’s outTWELVE years of schooling wind down formatriculants writing their final exams thisweek.

The holidays beckon. Some are castingtheir sights on an easy summer. Fingers aretrained on their cellphones to set in motionlast-minute plans. Rest, relaxation and recu-peration are on the cards.

Many matriculants and students are head-ed for the Plett Rage at Plettenberg Bay.

Some may have notions of using theirschool books as fuel for a bonfire or cut uphated school uniforms. They won’t have toface those dreaded teachers with their non-stop surprise quizzes, assignments and home-work. That is, until the reality of tertiary edu-cation kicks in. For many, the hard workstarts then. And most may deny it, but theywill miss their school days – and even thoseteachers who gave them a hard time.

These are the ones who will face hellishlylong queues for campus registration. Theywill make those absolute final choices overwhich courses to study. They will worryabout transport to new campuses, makingfriends, what to wear. Their parents will wor-ry about paying the university fees.

Four years will go by in a blink, then theywill wonder where they will find employmentas they clutch their newly-earned degrees.

Not so for the families of three matriculantswho died tragically on Saturday. The car inwhich the deceased – Keenan Smith, Leigh-Anne Swail and Kelly Ford – and fellow-ma-triculant Nazan Klaasens were driving collid-ed with a Golden Arrow bus on Spine Road,Mitchell’s Plain. Klaasens is reportedly in astable condition.

Instead of marking another milestone intheir lives, these teenagers will now be forev-er young. This tragedy is a reminder of ourown mortality and that life is, sadly, too short.

We ought to make the most of it – but sensi-bly. May all our young people take extra careand may the departed matriculants rest inpeace.

Where isdemocracy?THINK about it. Instead of accusingpoliticians and their campaigningstaff of being unheard and unseenbetween elections, we really need tobe thanking them. Listening to peo-ple who use a lot of words to saynothing is tiring and irritating.

Laugh about it. The irony aboutthis is that everybody and his broth-er tells us it is our civic duty tomake our “voices” heard at the bal-lot box, but as soon as the resultsare in, we are willed into takingvows of silence for five years.

Cry about it. In its 150 years of ex-istence, in its present form, democ-racy has never been about freedom;perversely, the people elected arefree to do whatever they please anddo so almost exclusively at the elec-torate’s expense. It has been truth-fully said: “Voting is the illusion ofinfluence in exchange for the loss offreedom.”

Sing about it. In 2014, South Afri-cans will dutifully fall in line to casttheir valued votes in the hope thatthis time around “the people shallgovern” – we just need to get theright people (and) the right party in-to power. Democracy will not failus, not this time, not again – wehope.

Shout about it. The struggle con-tinues and is rapidly worsening.The great democracy has feet ofclay, a heart of stone and no con-science, and serves the same mas-ters we do. In America, billions ofdollars were spent on election cam-paigns fought to return the samepeople to power.VERNON WAGNERCafda Village

Such relief at not being aloneWOW! As I started reading the article (“Walkingaway from the pain”, People’s Post, 20 Novem-ber) the hairs on the back of my neck stood upand I couldn’t help but shiver. This was just tooclose to home.

I have just come out of a 10-year relationship(and) a three-year marriage and every singleword Sheila told you is the truth: you blameyourself, you believe you did something wrong,this man was never like this before. Maybe Ishould have, as in her case, just left the ironingand made the sandwich. I cannot explain howvery real and completely emotionally over-whelming your article was!

Thank you for having the “balls” to writeabout such a whispered about topic!

Leaving is the hardest thing any woman everdoes, but looking back, I wish I had done it 10years ago. I am emotionally damaged and see theeffects our “fights” had on my now almost two-

year-old every day. It is horrible and heart-breaking and you never think you are that wom-an.

I don’t know if you have any informationabout meeting places or somewhere women whowere abused can go to. I would love to knowabout them if you do.

Admiring DA leader’s gumptionI HAVE great admiration for and salute DA Par-liamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko and en-dorse her motion of no confidence in Jacob Zu-ma as president of South Africa.

Her courageous motion is indeed a rubiconmoment in her political career, and a culmina-tion of a majority of fellow South Africans’ in-cluding parliamentarians’ thoughts, but whoare unwilling to articulate the same for fear ofreprisal or committing political suicide. ANCparliamentarians must stand their moralground and place the interests of their constitu-

ents first before that of their blundering fellowcomrade Zuma, by depicting the same backboneillustrated by Mazibuko.

President Zuma’s resilience is phenomenal,but for South Africa’s sake, Mazibuko’s motionmust be allowed to be debated and follow its con-stitutional course.

President Zuma’s sell-by date has long ex-pired.

I suggest he retires gracefully to Nkandla.MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn


Crooks ‘sail’ offTHIEVES stole a five-metre boat fromadriveway inLongStreet,Constantia.

The incident occurred at 04:30 on Tues-day.

The owner was sleeping when he wasalerted by an ADT response officer whonoticed the driveway gate was standingwide open.

The resident was horrified when he re-alisedhis Prestige 475 blue boatwasmiss-ing. The boat has a Yamaha motorW90HP, a blue cover and a ski pole on theside. The trailer registration is CA856491.It has distinctive rusty white wheels.

The resident reported the theft to DiepRiver Police who suspect the thievesdrove the boat into Burnham Road andtowards Plumstead, beyond the range ofthe CCTV cameras.

. A violent attack was made on HoutBay police officers while they were con-ducting a raid.

Hout Bay police seized 1 533 abaloneworth about R270 000 from a shack inHangberg, Hout Bay. Detectives wereconducting a suspect tracing operationon Wednesday 21 November at 05.30,when they noticed a group of men clean-ing abalone outside a shack.

When the suspects saw the police they

ran away. The police officers were col-lecting the abalone when people startedthrowing stones at them.

In the attack, two police officers sus-tained injuries to the head, arms, kneesand shoulders.

The tyres of the police vehicles wereslashed and the attackers fired flares atthe officers.

A case of public violence has beenopened. The police in the Hout Bay pre-cinct say this outbreak of violence willnot deter them from investigating poach-ing in coastal areas.

. An early morning walker had ashock after finding a body washed up onHout Bay Beach.

‘’The body is so badly decomposed thatit will be very difficult to identify,’’ saysWarrant Officer Tanya Lesch, spokesper-son of the Hout Bay Police.

“We are following up on all themissingpeople, but the body could have been car-ried by the current from Kommetjie.

“The families of missing people will betaken to the mortuary to identify thebody, but it will be difficult because it isso badly decomposed. It will be a verylong process and could take years to iden-tify the body.”

An inquest docket was opened.

Photographing your petsPROBABLY the best viewpointwhen photographing your pet, isfrom their level (nose height).This is where you will be able tosee right into their eyes; be ableto capture those quirky anticsand odd sleeping positions.

Your focal point will be the eyes.Use an aperture of around f8 so youhave a fair amount of depth of field.Capturing your pet while it is at

rest will be the best time – no excite-ment and jumping all over the placemaking things impossible to shoot.Dozing in the sun, belly-up ortongue lolling are really funnyshots.Running a brush through the

pet’s hair will tidy things up nicely– make them look respectable forthe photo shoot.Look for those amusing situa-

tions – dog in the wash basket, catin the flowerpot. If you really want

its attention have a couple of treatsto capture the intense concentra-tion (and drool).Cats at play are wonderful sub-

jects because of the way they jump

around, but will be a challenge tocapture. This is where your flashwill come in handy if it is indoors.Your pet doing tricks, swimming

in the pool climbing a tree are greatfun.You need to have your pet com-

pletely at ease so get them used tothe camera and your odd contortedgymnastics to capture them in ac-tion. Shouting at them to do this orgo there will only present you withacoweringanimal –youwantahap-py chappy with lolling tongue anda smile.If it’s not just a portrait pic, make

it a story – cat at the window eyeingthe birds at the drinking fountainoutside; dog, eagerly waiting for itsmaster at the front gate, parrotholding some fruit while eating.To capture your aquarium fish,

you will have to hold the cameraright on to the glass to cut out reflec-tions CUTE CAT: A cat is captured in a comfortable position. Photo: John Rayner

City to usetechnology forcomplaintsTHECity of Cape Town is to send customersacknowledgement via SMS or e-mail whencomplaints are logged.To this end, the City’s Customer Relations

Department has successfully launched anew functionality on the SAP C3 fault re-porting system.Previously, when residents and business-

es contacted the City call centre to report afault or log a service request, the City gavethem a reference number telephonically.This lengthy number was often difficult torecord if a resident was calling from ahands-free mobile device in their car or didnot have a pen and paper on hand, the Citysays in a statement.Customers contact the call centre now are

given the option of receiving the referencenumber via SMS or e-mail. This optionmakes it more convenient for them to keepthe referencenumber so that they can followup on any outstanding service requests.”This is the first phase of a two-phase initi-

ative. In the second phase, the Citywill senda second SMS or e-mail to the complainantwhen the request has been dealt with andhas been closed on the SAP C3 system.“It is important that service requests and

logged faults are acknowledged and attend-ed to timeously,” says Mayco Member forCorporate Services Demetri Qually. “Thisnew system will ensure that where it is nec-essary for residents to follow up on theirlogged requests, they have their referencenumbers easily at hand.”

We work together to build a city that we can enjoy together.

‘I stopped hittingmywife’TAMMY PETERSEN

THE hands clutching a cigarette could bethose of a businessman, an office workeror teacher.

The fingernails are neat and the skin issmooth, but Dirk admits his hands havecaused his wife unspeakable pain and almostled to the destruction of their marriage.“I was a wife-beater,” he says simply. “My

wife wasmy punching bag for years. But I amproof that people can change.”The age-old debate of whether an abuser

can turnover anew leaf is onewhichwill leadto heated arguments for years to come.Synnov Skorge has been working with bat-

tered and traumatised women for over twodecades. She is the director of the SaartjieBaartman Centre for Abused Women andChildren. In the 20 years she has been advo-cating for victims of violence, the success sto-ries of men changing their behaviour hasbeen “minimal”.“There have been very few success stories.

Most of the time it’s because the perpetratorlacks the willingness to turn over a new leaf,or because of society’s perception that astrong man is a violent man.”But Sydney Damonse, a religious leader

whoworkswithmen’s groups across the city,believes the cycle of abuse continues becausetoo much is being done to help victims whileabusers are only seen as the “scum who preyon the weak”.“For every woman that is abused, there is

a man shackled by his ways, crying out forhelp. The woman is given support and helpedto rebuild her life. The man? He is chuckedin jail.”The pastor says he has seen “hundreds” of

men become loving, peaceful fathers and hus-bands after tormenting their families.“All it takes is group counselling and

prayer. Theman is a victim of a vicious cycleand while he doesn’t carry the scars of physi-cal violence, he has deep-rooted emotionalstruggles prosecution won’t solve.”As a child,Dirk sayshewatchedhismother

cry herself to sleep at night after being as-saulted by this stepfather. He regularlyshielded her from the blows which raineddown on her and was with her when she wasadmitted tohospital after a severe beating lefther with broken ribs.“I always told myself I would never be like

thatman,”he says emphatically. “Iwill neverforget the first time I hit my wife. She hadgone to a churchmeeting and came home lat-er than I thought she would. I was drunk andI was convinced she was seeing anotherman.I don’t know what got into me.”That night, he beatMaria until she stopped

fighting back. “I was so angry I gave her onelast kick and left her lying in the kitchen. Thenext day when I got up, she was makingbreakfast. We never spoke about it and madelike it never happened.”For 20 years he tormented her. Sometimes

it would be a push, other times she would beleft with broken bones. “It was like I couldn’thelp myself. I don’t know where all the angercame from; sometimes it was about supper,other times about the way she acts. I couldsee what it was doing to my family, but I feltlike I wasn’t in control.”Family members used to plead with him to

stop the abuse as they feared he would even-tually kill her. But, he says, he alwaysthought she was the problem and, should shechange her ways, he wouldn’t “have a rea-son” to lift his hands.“One weekend, she hid my alcohol. I

punched her and slapped her into the street.Her sister and a neighbour tried to step in,but I couldn’t stop. Eventually one of themthrew boiling water at me.“Other neighbours came out of their hous-

es and attackedme. That day I felt what itwaslike to be humiliated.”He never beat her again.“It has been eight years since that day,” he

says. “I won’t say I suddenly realised the er-ror of myways; it wasmore a realisation thatI was capable of killing the woman I was sup-posed to love. My children were also trauma-tised – I saw I was turning into my stepfa-ther.”He has joined a prayer group at his local

church, but is quick to point out he is “nota Bible-basher”.“Sometimes I still get the urge to beat her,”

Dirk admits. “She knows how topush my buttons, but I love her.It takes a lot from me to rathershove my hands into my pock-ets. But it helps to talk about itto other men who understandwhat I am going through.”Maria, an introverted woman

with an aloof air about her, saysshe never considered leavingDirk.“I made a promise in front of

the altar to love and look afterhim,” she says. “Yes, I wentthrough a lot of trying timeswith him, but those days areover now. He is a different man.He really has changed.”Skorge says the centre focus-

es on empowering the victim toallowher tomake the right deci-sion in terms of the future.“The reasons women stay in

abusive relationships rangefrom economic weakness to cul-tural or religious views. Most ofthe time their personal safetyand whether they will die at thehands of their assailants isn’teven the most important priori-ty,” she says.The only solution is a harsher crackdown

on abusers, Skorge stresses.“There has to be severe repercussions and

sentences to men who abuse. Until then, thefemicide across the country will continue,and this scourge will continue to erode our

society.”While Damonse agrees that harsher sen-

tences should be handed down to perpetra-tors, he insists that counselling for menshould also be given priority.“This cycle will never stop until the root of

the problem is addressed. The man goes intojail an abuser, and comes out an abuser.Whatbenefit is there in tossing him in a cell? Themenwithbloodon theirhandsneedhelp.Anduntil that is given, this issue will be aroundfor centuries to come.”

R18m upgrade for schoolR18m upgrade for schoolADVERTORIAL: Maintaining their reputationas a learning institution of excellence offeringan international education, the German International School Cape Town is undergoing anR18m upgrade to their facilities and openingtheir doors to more nonGerman speaking pupils who could benefit from the school’s worldclass academic offerings.

The upgrade, partly funded by the Germangovernment, encompasses the construction ofa striking architectural fourstoreymasterpiecebuilding consisting of a stateoftheart twolevel library, eight new classrooms and a multifunction room. “We consistently strive to offerthe best international education and with ournew building we can accommodate more pupils in the nonGerman speaking stream. Wewelcome all interested pupils from the broaderCape Town community,” says Hermann Battenberg, principal of the school.At present the school teaches 720 pupils

from varying backgrounds and with the newbuilding this is predicted to increase to 750in 2013. The school currently offers fourstreams – two Germanspeaking streams and

SKW prepare for the top flightSKWSKW prepareprepare forfor thethe toptop flightflightLIAM MOSES

THE management of Scotcheskloof Walm-ers RFC are bullish about their chances inthe SARU Community Cup, despite beingdrawn in one of the toughest groups in thecompetition.

SKWwere drawn inGroupA of the inaugu-ral tournament, along with Jonsson CollegeRovers (KZN), GAP Despatch (EP), VillagersWorcester (Boland) and Sishen (Griquas).But despite the quality of the opposition in

the pool the club’s director of coaching, La-beeb Levy, is positive his team is up for thechallenge.“We are in the ‘pool of death’ becausewe’ve

got the Eastern Province runners up and the

Boland, Griquas and KZN champions,” saysLevy.“But we are busy building our team and

will give it our best. At the end of the day it’s15 players against 15 players. You give peoplerespect, but you don’t have to fear them. Youjust have to prepare properly and take thegame to them. Hopefully the club can attractmore players, administrators and coaches.”The tournament,whichwill replace theNa-

tional Club Championships, will kick off onSaturday 16 February and feature the topnon-university teams in the country.Rovers are also the current National Club

Championships holders, while Despatch fin-ished second on the Grand Challenge log –just seven points behind Nelson MandelaUniversity. Villagers won the Boland Pre-

mier League by 14 points and Sishen took theGriquas Premier League by seven points.SKWare set to start training for the compe-

tition this week and will focus on strengthen-ing and bringing depth to the first teamsquad.They will need to finish first or second on

the table in order to achieve their primarygoal of advancing beyond the second roundof the competition. To achieve this, the willneed to defeat at least three of the teams inthe group.Levy admits the other participating clubs

have an edge on SKW in terms of resources,saying the club urgently needs to find a spon-sor if they are to compete at that level.“We are lacking some resources, which we

will fill soon. We need to up our resources in

all capacities – from players to facilities.That’s the shortage we need to fill else we aregoing to be in trouble,” says Levy.“We are looking for sponsors, for finance

and products. We (currently) don’t have asponsor, so we are looking for someone togive all of our players access to a gym, supple-ments and warm up equipment.”SKW qualified for the tournament as a

wildcard selection, despite finishing belowHamiltons on the Super LeagueA table. Theywill be joined by league runners-up Durban-ville-Bellville.

.Durbanville-Bellvillehavebeendrawn inGroup B, along with Pretoria Police (BlueBulls), Bloemfontein Police (Freestate),WelkomRovers (Griffons) andAfricanBomb-ers (EP).

Big hitting at Super SixesLIAM MOSES

IT WILL be raining boundaries in Wyn-berg this weekend when the WynbergCricket Club Super Sixes tournamenttakes place.The Super Sixes will pit 12 teams of six

players against each other in 10-overmatches.Each team will have just five overs to

set a defendable score or surpass their op-ponent’s total, and every team member,except, the wicketkeeper will bowl anover.This is the second time the tournament

is being hosted and Ebrahim-NadeemParker, head of youth coaching at Wyn-berg CC, says the format makes the gameinteresting for purists and casual cricketwatchers.“We actually found that spinners were

the most economical, even though youthink they are going to get hit,” says Park-er. So you still have to play good cricketand use proper technique, instead of justtrying to bash the ball all over the park.It’s very entertaining and I think every-body really enjoyed themselves.”The first instalment of the tournament

took place in March, but the organisersdecided to move the event forward on thecricket calendar as they felt Decemberwas more suitable.The Super Sixes was created by Wyn-

berg CC as an attempt to recreate the feelof the IPL for youths and, Parker says, allof the fanfare of the world’s most famousshort form cricket competition can be ex-

pected.“That’s why all the teams will have

their own colours and their own logo. Wesort of liven up the atmosphere and givethem a platform to enjoy themselves,” hesays.“Fans can expect entertaining and at-

tacking cricket, as well as a lot of fun. Weinterview the captains on themicrophonejust like the IPL. They enjoy the spectacleof playing in a well organised tourna-ment.”The inaugural tournament was won by

the Wynberg Warriors team and thechampions will return to defend theircrown. Other teams participating are:Primroses, Blue Bells, Strandfontein Aand B, Habsani Royals, Kalusta Super-chargers A and B, Groote Schuur, Wyn-berg, Pumas, Wynberg Warriors and StAugustines A and B.These 12 sides will be grouped into four

Cape NFD derby set to enthralLIAM MOSES

SANTOS FCwill go into tomorrow’s clashwith neighbours Milano United flushwith confidence, after securing a moraleboosting victory in the National First Di-vision (NFD) over the weekend.

Santos been inconsistent this season, hav-ing lost twogamesanddrawnasmanyas theyhavewon, but the Lansdowne based club nowseem to have found their form.The People’s Team convincingly brushed

aside Witbank Spurs 4-1 at the Puma RugbyStadium on Sunday, claiming their third vic-tory of the season.However, Theo Hempe, head coach at Mi-

lano, believes his side will be more than a

match for their more illustrious opponentswhen they meet at Athlone Stadium tomor-row (Wednesday) at 19:30.“It is a derby, so whether it’s a high scoring

or low scoring game, the aim is to win. Wewant to defend as well as we can, but at theend of the days it’s just about the threepoints,” says Hempe.“We feel that we have the ammunition and

we have a lot of our players back from injury.Weare confident thatwecanpull off thevicto-ry.”Milano’s record in the competition this sea-

son reads exactly the same as their local ri-vals, with three wins, three draws and twolosses.The Grassy Park club are currently just

one place above Santos on the table in sixth

and they will also be buoyed after their per-formance at the weekend.Milano returned to winning ways on Sun-

day with a 3-1 victory over FC AK at theRooikraans Sports Complex, after losing 3-2in their last game against league leadersMpumalanga Black Aces.The defeat was Milano’s first at home this

season and Hempe blamed his side’s poor de-fensive performance for the loss.He says his teamwere much improved this

time around.“The way the players responded after our

last gamewas very positive; tt was a huge im-provement. But there is still room for im-provement, because we still gave them a softgoal,” he says.“If we defended better and pressed better

then the game would have been a lot easier.Weworked on our pressing from the front (af-ter the last game).Wedon’t justwant to blameour defenders each time. It’s everyone’s re-sponsibility. When we let in that soft goal, itjust showed us there are things we need toperfect.”The Milano coach believes the battle for

control of themidfieldwill be themost impor-tant in tomorrow’s tactical war at AthloneStadium, but concedes the derby atmospheremay have an even bigger impact.“The biggest difference is the people know

every player. It’s just much more personalthan playing teams from Johannesburg. Thefinal thing is just about the passion; the pas-sion iswhatdrivesyouand takesyou throughthe game.”
