The return of theminstrelsTAURIQ HASSEN AND HANRIEBOSCH

MINSTREL troupes are tosign a code of conduct as

part of the agreement to marchthrough the historic Bo-Kaaparea.

The news comes after lengthydiscussions between representa-tives of the City of Cape Town,provincial government and min-strel associations over the pasttwo months.

On Tuesday 8 November anagreement was reached, whichincluded the return to the normalroutes through the historic Bo-Kaap area, and hosting the eventon 2 January. City of Cape Townwill also provide R3.5 million forTweede Nuwe Jaar celebrations.A further R500 000 was madeavailable for events after TweedeNuwe Jaar and competitions.

Peoples Post extensively cov-ered the discussions at the CapeHigh Court, “Minstrel battlemarches on (1 November 2011),”before retired Constitutional

Court Judge Kate O’Reagan.According to Osman Shaboo-

dien, chairperson of the Bo-KaapCivic Association, the code ofconduct will ensure timeliness,with strict starting and finishingtimes, and orderly conduct. Thecity council has set upa task teamto ensure that there will beenough toilets along the routes.

The conduct of the minstrelswill be policed by the City Coun-cil. “We have walked for 150 yearswithout council, but to take it tothe next level and make this a cal-endar event we need strong part-nerships that work,” said Sha-boodien The concerns of resi-dents, based on their experienceof previous years, were of min-strels marching into the earlyhours of the morning; minstrelsnot respecting prayer times; andallegations of minstrels urinat-ing against Mosque walls.

CEO for the Cape Town Carni-val Association, Kevin Momberg,was delighted at the outcome andsaid: “This is what we wantedand now we can work on restor-ing a part of history which should

rightfully be staged every year.”Momberg highlighted the im-

portance of the minstrel culturein Cape Town, mentioning thedays of a packed Wale Street,marching past the old SlaveLodge in Adderley Street, withfaces paintedblackandwhite andthousands of minstrels lining upto entertain Cape Town. “Theseare fond memories, so we havehad to fight for this, for some-thing that rightfully belongshere,” says Momberg.

According to Solly Malatsi,spokesperson for the ExecutiveMayor of Cape Town, Patricia DeLille, the agreement “paves theway for the successful hosting ofone of Cape Town’s historic andcelebrated cultural events.”

Momberg said.“We will beworking very closely with theCity of Cape Town to ensure thatwe host a successful event thatwill be remembered and remindpeople of the good old days.”

The agreement will serve as apilot project to guide the manage-ment of future minstrelevents.“It has been a long, long

road,” said Shaboodien. “This isnot a victory; it is just a restora-tion of rights and recognition ofthe culture, heritage and historyof the Bo-Kaap, and an acknowl-edgement of the importance ofthe area.”

“This has become a way of lifeformanypeople, and it is reassur-ing to see the tradition reinstat-ed,” said Shaboodien. TheMosque Association is cautious:“let’s see what happens this year;if it will be better than previousyears.”

According to Cape Town Tour-ism, the Kaapse Klopse festivalhas been compared to that of theCarnival in Rio de Janeiro, andthe Mardi Gras in New Orleansand is “a spectacular and colour-ful event that should not bemissed.” Cape Town’s famousTweede Nuwe Jaar carnival hasbeen described as a “bright, noisyand vibrant celebration.”

WALK FOR LIFE:The City’s oldestsporting event,the DiscoveryCape Times BigWalk, took placeon Sunday, with36 509 peoplejoining in the107th edition ofthe walk to raisefunds for NazarethHouse, The Steen­berg Foundationand Cansa. Activi­ties and enter­tainment amusedthe crowdsthroughout theday, with acts likelocal comediansDavid Isaacs, Os­car Petersen, Stu­art Taylor andKurt Schoonraadtaking the stage.Photo: Denzil Maregele

Know the house rulesA SALE agreement comesinto effect when a prospec-tive buyer makes a writtenoffer to a seller and theseller accepts that offer topurchase his/her propertyon the terms and condi-tions agreed upon.

The next step is to give ef-fect to this sale by formallytransferring the propertyfrom the Seller to the Buyeras registered and recorded inthe Deeds Office.

The Seller either directlyor through an estate agent orauctioneer, then instructs aconveyancing attorney totransfer the property interms of the sale agreement.

The average time to com-plete the process from sale totransfer is about 12-14 weeks,though complicating issues,arising from a deceased es-tate or divorce, could in-crease this period considera-bly.

Once instruction has beenreceived, the transferring at-torney opens a file and en-sures that suspensive condi-tions have been compliedwith. Example of a suspen-sive condition is the pay-ment of a deposit.

The transferring attorneywill draft the transfer docu-ments in preparation for sig-

nature by the Seller and Buy-er. Five basic documents arerequired for the transfer ofan immovable property,namely the Power of Attor-ney; the existing Title Deedin terms of which the Selleris the current registeredowner; the Deed of Transferin terms of which the Buyerwill become the new regis-tered owner; the TransferDuty Receipt and RatesClearance Certificate.

Transfer Duty is a tax pay-able by the Buyer on the pur-chase and transfer of immov-able property. This cost is inaddition to the transferringattorney’s fees. However, thetransaction may be exemptfrom transfer duty tax if thepurchase price is R600 000 orless (as per current legisla-tion). Transfer duty tax iscalculated as follows:

R0-R600 000=no transferduty payable

R600 000.01 toR1 000 000=3% of the valuebetween these amounts

R1 000 000,01 toR1 500 000=5% + R12 000

Above R1 500 000=8% +R37 000

A Rates Clearance Certifi-cate is issued by the City ofCape Town to the transfer-ring attorney upon settle-ment of the Seller’s rates,

which includes advance col-lections on the rates accountfor a period of 120 days.

This cost is payable by theSeller. Once the documentsare in order the transferringattorney will contact thebond attorneys and the bondcancellation attorney and ar-range a date to lodge their re-spective deeds simultane-ously at the Deeds Office.

The documents are exam-ined and usually becomeavailable for registrationwithin 10-12 working daysfrom date of lodgement.

The transfer, bond andbond cancellation are thensimultaneously registered,resulting in the transfer be-ing effected between the Sell-er and Buyer.

This is a basic overview ofthe transfer process and cir-cumstances may vary ac-cording to the particularitiesof each transaction.

TheBuyerwill be liable forthe bond attorney’s registra-tion costs in addition to thetransfer costs. The Sellerwill be liable for the settle-ment amount of the bond aswell as the bond cancellationattorney’s costs. Prospectivebuyers should request a quo-tation in advance so thatthey are able to budget forthe transactions.

AS PART of the ProudlySouth African ChristmasCampaign, PDSA is profil-ing members who providegoods and services thatmay be useful over the fes-tive season, or can fill aChristmas stocking.

This week the spotlightfalls on Ocean Therapy,started in 2006.

They produce a range ofbath salts for hotels, spas,game lodges, health shops,and as corporate gifts.

The bath salts are madeof pure, unrefined sea salt.These large sea salt crys-tals are produced naturallyby solar evaporation incoastal salt-pans beside theancient Namib Desert.

The crystals are rich inbeneficial sea minerals(over 76) and fragrancedwith top quality aromath-erapy essential oils to pro-duce a natural salt-baththerapy.

It is not only healing, butis also environmentallyfriendly.

ness?Being invited to partici-

pate in the Proudly SouthAfrican 2011 - Buy Local Ex-po.

It gave us great exposureand opened up a wholeworld of new opportunitiesto grow our business.

. What are some of thechallenges that you facedin 2011?

It has been difficult tofind decent packaging inSouth Africa.

However, rather thantake the easy option of go-ing to China, we made ourown as much as possible totry and keep our productuniquely African and homegrown.

. Why did you becomea Proudly South Africanmember?

An existing member ad-vised me to join ProudlySouth African because ofthe great networking op-portunities within SouthAfrica and the rest of Afri-ca.

Ourproduct is original,healthy, eco-friendly, jobcreating, and also focuseson the environment andconservation awareness.Think creatively and thinkoutside the box.

Don’t get sucked into the‘buy China, buy cheap’ syn-drome.

If you can’t compete onprice don’t even try. In-stead, focus on better serv-ice and more originality.People don’t always wantthe cheapest.

Quality and innovationdo count.

TABLE MOUNTAIN is one of theNew7Wonders, along with the Amazon,Halong Bay in Vietnam, Iguazu Falls in Ar-gentina, Jeju Island in South Korea, Komodoin Indonesia, and Puerto Princesa Under-ground River in the Philippines.

The news came just after 22:00 on Fridayevening.

Grant Thornton, a leading tourism, hospi-tality and leisure research company, pre-dicted a R1.4 billion annual return for SouthAfrican tourism. Basing their projections onthe New7Man Made Wonders, in which 100million votes were cast worldwide, GrantThornton estimated that tourism to CapeTown could increase by about 20%, resultingin increased employment opportunities.

Mariëtte du Toit-Helmbold, CEO of CapeTown Tourism says: “We are very excitedabout this win. From being awarded theWorld Design Capital 2014 designation justa few weeks ago to Table Mountain beingnamed one of the New7Wonders of Nature to-day, Cape Town and South Africa are stand-ing proud!

There are many benefits, but our biggestopportunity is job creation. In line with CapeTown Tourism’s new brand strategy for thecity, we are working with individuals andcompanies on developing new, interestingand genuine tourism offerings to satisfychanging travellers’ needs. With the antici-pated increase in tourism, more entrepre-neurial opportunities will open up.”

The campaign also gave South Africansthe chance to learn more about the moun-tain. Before the campaign, many people maynot have known that Table Mountain is oneof the oldest mountains on the planet, about360 million years old, and was declared aWorld Heritage Site in 2004.

The Cape Floristic Region is the smallestand richest of the six floral kingdoms on theplanet, and habitat to 8 200 rare and endan-

gered plant species.Table Mountain is also the only terrestrial

feature to have a constellation named afterit. The southern constellation Mensa (origi-nally Mons Mensae – Latin for “the tablemountain”), was named in 1754 after the in-creasingly world-famous landmark in thethen Cape of Good Hope. It is also one of themost photographed sites in Africa.

“FAILURE is a great teacher.It is a normal part of being an

entrepreneur. We should stopstigmatising people who havefailed and stop regarding it asthe end of the road. Just thinkof Richard Branson and SteveJobs,” says Martin Feinstein,organiser of this year’s Tel-kom Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week.

“In a sense people are forced tobe more entrepreneurial and findnew ways of generating an in-come,” says Feinstein, adding, inthe same breath, that between 30to 40% of small businesses failwithin the first year, and overfive years the number doubles to80%.

“These figures can be veryscary, and intimidate a lot of peo-ple, especially since most peoplestarting a small business havevery good technical skills andknow a lot about the trade theyare entering, but not about busi-ness.

“People also start in a veryovercrowded market, opening upcrèches or hair salons instead ofdoing something new and inno-vative.”

But Capetonians can regardthemselves as lucky, becauseCape Town is seen as one of themost nurturing urban environ-ments for entrepreneurs in thecountry.

Feinstein explains: “CapeTown has some of the best infra-structure in the country. Trans-

Elderly manshoots baboonDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE ongoing baboon human conflicthas manifested in violence on Fridayafternoon, when a Fish Hoek residentshot a baboon.

The baboon, which was hit in its spinalcord and paralysed, was euthanized onFriday night.

The 77 year-old man claims to have shotthe baboon in self defence, but the Capeof Good Hope SPCA’s wildlife manager,argues that there was malicious intent.

According to the Fish Hoek police, sev-eral baboons entered the man’s propertyin Carmichael Road, upon which he dis-charged his .22 riffle at the baboons as awarning. After the troop left, the baboon,known as Nosketi of the Da Gama troop,entered the house.

Warrant Officer Peter Middleton,spokesperson for the Fish Hoek police,says the man chased the baboon out,when the baboon allegedly turned on theman.

But Dr Hamish Curry, the veterinarianwho euthanized the baboon, says the au-topsy indicates that the baboon was shotin the back. He says that witness accountsconfirm this.

Brett Glasby, the Cape of Good HopeSPCA’s wildlife unit manager, says ac-cording to eye witness accounts, the ba-boon left the man’s house and entered hisneighbour’s property when it was shot.

Glasby says the fact that the man hadtime to get his gun and follow the baboonout of the house, indicates premeditation.

Middleton says an investigation hasbeen launched into the discharge of a fire-arm in a built-up area and several contra-ventions under the Animal ProtectionAct.

Glasby says he will add charges of ani-mal cruelty to the docket. CapeNature is

also investigating the incident and willconsider laying charges once its investi-gation is completed.

NCC, the body charged with managingbaboons in Cape Town’s Southern Penin-sula, confirms that baboon monitors wereon the scene when the baboon was shot.

Currie says that the baboon was old andhad very few teeth left in his mouth.

Baboon activists throughout the FarSouth are outraged by the shooting.

Jenni Trethowan of Baboon Matters,describes the Nosketi as a “gentle crea-ture” who avoided conflict.

Trethowan called upon authorities fora prosecution and says that few cases hadled to prosecution in the past.

Dr Justin O’Rian of UCT’s Baboon Re-search Unit (BRU), says baboons have en-tered Fish Hoek “for many years.”

He adds, however, that this is not a reg-ular occurrence. He says when a baboontroop, like the Da Gama troop, is constant-ly pushed out of one area, the troop willtarget another area to raid.

O’Rian told People’s Post about the lat-est research, done by Tali Hoffman, whois working on her PhD on spatial ecologyof the Cape Peninsula baboon troops.

It reveals that some troops, and espe-cially the Da Gama troop, has lost all ac-cess to low lying areas to scavenge forfood. He says the troop is “locked in” byurban areas.

O’Rian says that BRU will make recom-mendations to implement contraceptionmethods in this troop.

This is the second Da Gama baboon tobe killed this month. On 17 October,George, the former Alpha male of thetroop, was killed by two dogs.

People’s Post phoned the Fish Hoek manseveral times and left messages, but couldnot reach him for comment before goingto print. His life partner declined to com-ment.

Compose an ode to the LiesbeekRIVERS are invaluable assets inurban settlements and this yearFriends of the Liesbeek celebrate 20years on the river.

Urban rivers function as storm-water catchments, while at thesame time serving as green spacesfor recreation, enjoyment and wild-life habitat.

However, urban rivers are beingdegraded by erosion and silt depos-its, pollution from stormwater run-off and industry, loss of habitatfrom development and engineer-ing, and litter accumulation.

This has also been recognised bythe City of Cape Town in the launchof the Integrated Catchment Man-agement Plan in Memory of Profes-sor Kader Asmal. The proposed in-tervention addresses an urgentneed to improve freshwater ecosys-tem health and functions, and is awelcome expansion of the work al-ready being done by the Friends of the Lies-beek and other Friends groups.

To celebrate their 20 years on the river,Friends of Liesbeeck are asking for photo-graphs, poems, newspaper articles or anec-dotes, anything to do with the River. Theywould also like to honour past committeemembers and ask that if you were a committeemember, or know of someone who was activein FOL in the past, to send them an email, posta message on the website www.fol.org.za orcall Francine at (021) 671-5385. The email ad-dress is secretary@fol.org.za and our postaladdress is P.O.Box 333, Rondebosch.

The main project is the Liesbeek Mainte-nance Project (LMP). The Friends of the Lies-beek runs the LMP Project on private fundingand its aim is a litter-free Liesbeek and a well-maintained river trail through a process of jobcreation and skills development.

The presence of the team on the river im-proves safety, reduces antisocial behaviourand encourages sound environmental practic-es. The LMP team removes litter, cuts backovergrown vegetation, weeds, sweeps the

walkway and removes graffiti. City depart-ments provide support by mowing and remov-ing all waste collected as well responding toincidents of pollution reported by the Friends.

Besides the tasksmentionedabove, the teamhas planted and watered numerous trees andgroundcover and already some of these havepropagated themselves, proving that the workbeing done is sustainable.

The Liesbeek Maintenance Team is alsoworking on an important project in partner-ship with SANBI to eradicate a new invasivespecies in South Africa, Lythrum salicaria, orpurple loosestrife. This plant was discoveredon the Liesbeek by a member of the Friendsof the Liesbeek, Liz Wheeler.

Together with SANBI the Friends of theLiesbeek are following a programme of detec-tion, control and removal to ensure that thispotentially harmful invasive alien plant doesnot spread and choke our waterways as thewater hyacinth did to other waterways.

The future looks bleak for factoryTAURIQ HASSEN

THE future of a factory that built upchildren through sports is hanging

by a thread after financial constraintsstrangled a local organisation’sprogress.

In 2001, The Future Factory, now based inWynberg, was founded by former South Afri-can Volleyball star, Anne Siroky.

Siroky had bagged awards for the Commu-nity Builder of the year in 2007, CommunityChampion with People’s Post and the Sho-prite Checkers Woman of the Year.

The Future Factory is a non-profit organi-sation, working with children in about 50schools around the Western Cape, teachingthem the value of sports and life skillsthrough a detailed Life Orientation pro-gramme.

“We now reach over half a million chil-dren each year, not only in South Africa, butalso through our new projects in Australiaand Vietnam.

“We run many special events in the West-ern Cape, to keep the children off the street

and give them something to do, while teach-ing them new skills - a child in sport is a childout of court,” says Siroky.

For 10 years, Siroky funded the project outof her own pocket, but due to a shoulder inju-ry, she was unable to continue supportingthe organisation financially and solely de-pended on donations from the public.

Her biggest challenge came in 2006, whenSiroky was diagnosedwith cancer and treat-ment followed the diag-noses, including acourse of chemothera-py.

Siroky was bed-ridden for three months,which is difficult for an active person, thenumber one beach volleyball player in SouthAfrica in 1997.

“The organisation has hit rock bottom andwe can’t even pay our phone bill. Health,sports and education has always been a partof my life and that is where the vision of theFuture Factory came from.

“It would be very sad to lose something ofthis nature,” says Siroky.

In the past, Siroky and her team were able

to work with around 100 000 children in thespace of six months, teaching regular sportsprogrammes in four schools on a weekly ba-sis and facilitating many more.

She is the head facilitator for the Bamba-nani Beach Programme in summer.

Her children’s programmes and motiva-tional talks are regularly booked out.

“I started this project to make a differencein children’s lives andmake them realisethat their dreams canbecome a reality.However, withoutfunds, we will not be

able to operate,” says Siroky.She urged business owners and the public

to assist the Future Factory to keep theirdoors open to new dreams.

“We can assist with team-buildingevents,” Siroky concluded. If anybody is in-terested in coming to thh Future Factory’said, contact their offices on (021) 761 4529.

Far South carnival in jeopardyDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE annual eMzansti carnival may bein jeopardy if the National Lottery

Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) doeshonour promises to pay out money allo-cated for the event planned for early De-cember.

A reliable source who wished to remainanonymous told People’s Post that there hasbeenadelay in theprocessingof funding fromthe NLDTF to the Harlequin Foundation, theNPO which administers the eMzantsi com-munity-building project.

The carnival, a culmination of a year’swork, is in its seventh year and planned forSaturday 3 December, less than three weeksaway.

The NLDF approved R8 million to the Har-lequin Foundation in 2009, payable over athree-year period in six instalments.

The money due for this carnival wouldhave been the final instalment.

Sershan Naidoo, spokesperson for theNLDTF, says the delay is caused by a requestfor “deviation from the original use of grantmoney in the most recently submittedprogress report.”

He says that according to their records, aprogress report was submitted on 3 October,and adds that any deviations must be ap-proved by the adjudicating committee, mem-bers of which work part time and are notbased at the NLDTF offices.

He says the deviation will be decided uponat the next committee meeting scheduled forWednesday 23 November.

But Harlequin Foundation managing di-rector Sam Pearce, says the deviation was notrequested in their most recent report, but ina previous report which was submitted in Ju-ly 2010.

Naidoo could not say whether funds wouldbe approved by the committee, but added that

if the NGO used its previous funds in accord-ance to the grant agreement, there should be“no problem with effecting the next pay-ment.”

Naidoo says once payment is approved, theNLDTF could assist in “speeding up” the pay-ment process.

Naidoo emphasised that the staff of theNLDTF attend to information and reportschronologically. “Effort is being made to as-sist (the Harlequin Foundation) and we willcontinue to do so.”

But Ralph Freese, a development activistwho has been vocal in the media about hisdiscontent with the NLDTF, says the dilem-ma in which the Harlequin Foundation nowfinds itself is not an isolated incident.

He says many NGOs have had difficultieswith the NLDTF.

In March this year, Freese wrote an openletter to Rob Davies, Minister of Trade andIndustry, which oversees the NLDTF.

In an interview with People’s Post Freesesays that the lottery funding system is “notefficient and in “desperate need of an om-budsman and appeal system.”

Freese sayswithinaweekafterhis open let-ter was published, he received calls from over400 NGOs that were allegedly having troublewith funding from the NLDTF.

Freese concedes that the fund has shown an“improvement” in its affairs since then andhas shown intent on rectifying matters. ButFreese insists that changes need to be madeto legislation in order to assure a fair process.

In a recent Cape High Court case, wheretwo Cape Town NGOs took on the NLDTF be-cause funding was denied, the court ruled infavour of the NGOs, which included theSouth African Education and EnvironmentProject and the Claremont Methodist ChurchSocial Impact Ministry. The judge ruled thatthe two organisations’ work were in line withNLDTF requirements and the reasons for de-nying applications were not reasonable. Both

NGOs had applied to the fund several timesbefore.

Carnival participants have expressed theirconcern and sadness at the delay in funding.

“It’s so sad,” says a teacher who did notwish to be named, “the children and facilita-tors on the primary schools twinning pro-gramme have worked so hard over threeterms preparing for the carnival, practisingtheir drumming and dancing.

“It would be terrible if they didn’t get achance to perform together after all that, justbecause the Lottery is so slow.”

Pearce did not want to comment on thematter, but was confident that the carnival

will proceed as planned. “NLDTF funding hasenabled us to bring children and youth to-gether to make friends and have fun acrossthe peninsula throughout the year and we arevery grateful.

“The eMzantsi Carnival is a celebration ofthe spirit of the people of the South, and it willgo ahead no matter what. We’ve done it onno money before, and we can certainly do itagain.”

The funding from NLDTF allowed eMzant-si to grow from an annual parade mobilisedby a band of volunteers to a year-round com-munity-building project employing sevenfull-time staff.

All these activities bring together the com-munities of Masiphumelele, Ocean View andFish Hoek with the goal of participating inthe eMzantsi Carnival annually on the firstSaturday of December.

Majestic mountainCAPETONIANS now officially live in theshadow of greatness.

The mammoth icon, Table Mountain hasbeen included on a provisional list of theNew7Wonders competition finalists. An-nounced on Friday, the final result is said tobe made public early next year. Off the backof Cape Town being named the design Capitalof the World in November, the latest an-nouncement will make huge inroads for thetourism sector and increase visitor numbersin the province, as Table Mountain now be-comes the deciding factor for internationaltourists considering their options. This natu-ral resource has become one of the country’smost valuable commodities, and with a globalstruggling economy it is true that every bitof help is welcome.

These are exciting times for Cape Towntourism. Authorities in the sector have esti-mated that the announcement alone willbring over 100 000 visitors to local shores.

Reportedly the value of the tourism in-crease was estimated to be about R1.4 billiona year for the first five years following the in-clusion. This will inevitably lead to an in-crease in jobs.

While business readies itself to use themountain’s new elevated status in marketingcampagins, tourism authorities are rightful-ly focused on making local tourist destina-tions more accessible to the local public, thevery people who voted to make this prestig-ious accolade a reality for Table Mountain. Itis after all, the only of the finalists situatedin the middle of a bustling urban setting,hardly isolated or difficult to reach like someof its competitors.

Cape Town Executive Mayor, Patricia DeLille says the announcement has confirmedwhat many locals already know. For manyCapetonians, Table Mountain holds greatsentimental value. Rumour has it that theNew7Wonders Foundation is set to take on anew survey in the future, the top seven citiesin the world. Cape Town, here we go – again!

Thank you so much for caring, PDSAWE often hear complaints about the variouswelfare organisations, but, at the end of theday, they are all trying to do the best theycan with the limited means they have.

While I have written to complain about thestrict welfare limitations of the SPCA, I feelthat in all fairness, I should let readers knowthat there is light at the end of the tunnel.

After the nightmare I had with private vetcharges and the SPCA, I found a place thatcares, the PDSA.

I have received phenomenal service fromthem over the past two months.

I am most grateful to Arthur George andhis team at the Athlone and Bridgetown clin-ics.

You are amazing, keep doing what you do-ing.

Everybody at the PDSA went out of theirway to ensure that my cat and kittens got thebest care.AYESHA BAGUS

Tax businesses which benefitedIT IS regrettable that since the founding ofa democratic state, most citizens of this beau-tiful country find themselves in a state of ab-ject poverty. Democracy means very little tothem because at the end of the day they gowithout food, shelter and may other basic ne-cessities.

The companies that profited most duringapartheid are still in existence.

Still profiting from the human misery towhich they contributed in apartheid days.

A minute proportion of their profits go to-wards social investment. A kind of feel-goodcontribution that is in most cases useless be-cause the projects are not sustained.

The time has arrived that we start to makethese companies take more responsibility tochange the socio economic condition of ourpeople.

Many of these companies would probably

say they are unable to contribute because ofa slow-down or down-turn in the economy.However, a person just has to lookat theprof-its that the banking sector posted underthese economic conditions. The question ofcourse how can this sector be suffering withsuch enormous profits?

The proposal by Archbishop Tutu to taxthose who benefited from apartheid shouldbe taken more seriously and should be givenmore support by the disadvantaged.

Also, while this is being deliberated, thesecompanies must be encouraged by govern-ment and the communities who supportthem to make significant contributions to ed-ucation and employment.

If we forget the suffering of our parentsthen their struggle to end injustice would bein vain.SHEIKH MA JARDIEN

Pets need to be cared forAS an experienced (but retired) breeder ofBurmese cats, I could not let Jason Bosch’ssuggestion that cats should not necessarilybe sterilised go unchallenged.

I agree that sterilisation, like any opera-tion, is not without risk.

The risks are minimal.Lets have a look at his other suggestions:. Look for a medical alternative, like the

pill for humans.There have been alternatives like this

for many years.Vets will advise that the risks of using

these contraceptives are farhigher than those involvedin spaying.

They include the possibili-ty of the cat developingdiabe-tes, and the owner not admis-tering them frequentlyenough.

. Keep the cats isolatedwhile in oestrus: I wonderhow many queens in oestrushe’s dealt with?

The cat “calls” - ie shoutsfor a male - and paces, tryingdesperately to escape, all thetime for three days to a week.Depending on the breed, thiscan be very loud.

She’s obsessed with her need for a mate,possibly to the extent that she stops eating.No sleep for a week, for you, your neigh-bours, or your cat - is that in the cat’s inter-est?

She may come on heat as soon as twoweeks or less after her last heat.

The consequences for the cat of being onheat frequently without being mated in-clude pyometria (potentially fatal) and aruined temperament due to the frustra-tion.

That’s if the owner manages to preventher from getting out and meeting a malewho was not neutered by his irresponsibleowner.

Jason did not mention the problemscaused by unsterilised male cats who roamaround, attacking pet cats, spreading dis-eases, stealing their food, driving them tospray within their homes, until their own-ers either have to pay a cat behaviouristto help them sort out the problem, or eutha-nise or rehome their previously belovedpets to save their own sanity.

Yes, pets are living creatures and ownersdo need to make sacrifices to look afterthem, including sterilising them.

If you are not a responsible breeder,working to improve yourchosen breed, in the knowl-edge that there are goodhomes for your kittens withpeople who want the charac-teristics of your breed, thensterilise!

Sterilised cats make won-derful pets. Unsterilised catsare for the responsiblebreeders, who know whatthey are doing and have suit-able facilities.

Correct crime communication

He (has) tickled my fancy

THERE is once again reports of “attacks” onTable Mountain. The word “attack” meansto “set upon with violent force.” Are peoplebeing set upon just to cause them injury?

“Robbery” is the act of “unlawfully takingthe property of another by the use of forceor intimidation.”

We need to know if there are people who

are robbing hikers, or people who are attack-ing hikers for no apparent reason.

Different responses are required in eachcase.

I hope that next time the correct terminol-ogy will be used.KEITH BLAKEOttery

The Alphen re­opens as 5­star boutique hotelADVERTORIAL: THE historic Alphen Ho-tel in the Constantia Valley is due to re-open as a 5-star establishment this month.Currently undergoing an extensive re-vamp, the 11,5 acre property will offerboutique accommodation with two inde-pendently operated restaurants.

Further features will include three bars, adeli, a spa, a conference and business centreand outdoor events facilities - all open to thepublic.

Operator Paul Kovensky’s vision is to seethese different facets function simultaneous-ly, providing hotel guests and the local com-munity with a venue for relaxing, socialising,dining, celebrating and conducting business.

Centrally situated on the Cape Peninsulaand located a mere 20 minutes from CapeTown CBD, Cape Town International Airportand False Bay, The Alphen Hotel aims to at-tract leisure and corporate, local and interna-tional guests.

A modern and playful twist has been addedto the décor and design, whilst preserving therich backdrop of history.

The concept is mixing old with new andpart of the décor will be an extensive privatecollection of antique furniture and art, com-bined with specially commissioned over-

sized, contemporary new works.The 21 luxury suites all have the trimmings

expected of a 5-star hotel – his and her bath-rooms, rain showers, three-tier mini-bars,Lavazza coffee machines, multi-media enter-tainment systems, in-roombusiness services,iced fruit bowls, king-size beds and privateterraces, tonamea few. “I am in thehospitali-ty business because I’m a true epicurean,”says Kovensky. “I love to eat, drink, socialiseand relax in great surroundings and stay inunique hotels. I want to create the same forothers.”

The food and beverage operations are nottypical hotel fine dining and will include theday venue La Belle Café and Bakery with deliand retail section, specialising in light meals,breads, patisseries and salads while 5Roomswith its dark, rich colours, heavy fabrics, dra-matic décor and cosmopolitan cuisine willprovide a warm atmosphere for evening din-ing. A unique feature is its own accommoda-tion upstairs for patrons wishing to stay overafter a night of wining and dining.

Both operations offer indoor and outdoorseating under ancient oak trees. Unique tothe Western Cape is The Rose Bar, a gardenbar and terrace overlooking the extensive, re-designed, landscaped garden with water fea-tures, pool and rose garden.

Adam Court, interior designerfor Stefan Antoni and Associatessays; “The Alphen Hotel was sucha stimulating and challengingproject, we wanted to work withthe existing heritage framework,push it, exaggerate it but also pro-vide some provocative, contempo-rary glamour and surreal fantasy.The many facilities gave us plentyof range to explore and expand dif-ferent, but connected themes andambiances. It’s like stepping intoanother world.”

.Offering Cape Hospitalitysince the 18th century and de-clared a national monument in1973, The Alphen was originallypart of the Groot Constantia Es-tate.

Producing wine and export fruit, it was thefirst estate to grow grapes, make and bottlewine and sell it to the public. It boasts a rich,interesting history and has hosted the likesof Mark Twain, Cecil John Rhodes, GeorgeBernard Shaw and Jan Smuts. It also featuresthe oldest surviving mill on the Cape Penin-sula.

The Alphen Hotel forms part of Paul Koven-sky’s portfolio that includes a group of suc-

cessful, established Atlantic Seaboard res-taurants – Paranga, Zenzero, The Kove,Pepenero and the recently acquired La Med(to be renamed Bungalow).

Hotel guests will have the option of beingshuttled to these restaurants during theirstay.

The key to unlocking dreamsHANRIE BOSCH

“FAILURE is a great teacher. Itis a very normal part of being anentrepreneur. We should stopstigmatising people who havefailedandstopregarding itas theend of the road. Just think of Ri-chard Branson and Steve Jobs,”muses Martin Feinstein, organ-iser of this year’s Telkom CapeTown Entrepreneurship Week.

“In a sense people are forced to bemore entrepreneurial and find newways of generating an income”,says Feinstein adding in the samebreath that between 30 to 40 % ofsmall businesses fail within thefirst year, and over five years thenumber doubles to 80%.

“These figures can be very scary,and intimidate a lot of people espe-cially since most people starting asmall business have very good tech-nical skills and know a lot about the

trade they are entering into, but notabout business. People also start ina very overcrowded market, open-ing up crèches or hair salons in-stead of doing something new andinnovative.”

But Capetonians can regardthemselves as lucky, as Cape Townis seen as one of the most nurturingurban environments for entrepre-neurs in the country, as Feinsteinexplains.

“Cape Town has some of the bestinfrastructure in the country.Transport networks and safety andsecurity are all on a much higherstandard, which makes it easier forpeople to access your business andeasier to run a business.

“Inconvenience is a tax on yourtime, and if the city can save youthat time you can spend more timemaking your business work.”

Buthealso adds that SouthAfricais in general 50 % behind in the en-trepreneurial market as compared

to similar countries.“Entrepreneurship creates

wealth. Not just for yourself, but foremployees and suppliers, as well asinnovation and more efficient waysof doing things.

“It also creates social cohesionand stability by creating more jobswhichequates to less crime, jobless-ness and most importantly it cre-ates more entrepreneurs.”

Whether you have just started asmall business, and need mentor-ing and support, or you are justthinking about starting a smallbusiness, the Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week, 15 to 21 November,can help to give you advice.

All events will take place at CityHall, and on Saturday 19 Novemberbudding entrepreneurs can enjoy afree interactive day, where expertswill be on hand to answer any ques-tions and give advice.

Cape teams out to improve statusLYNN PRINS

AJAX Cape Town and EngenSantos are facing a tough battleto the top as they prepare toshow their mettle against for-midable opponents SuperSportUnited and Kaizer Chiefs thisweekend.

TheUrbanWarriors beat Super-Sport 5-2 in the first round duringthe MTN Top Eight, and revengeis to be expected come Friday.

Pressure will definitely be onfor both Ajax and SuperSportsince Ajax missed out on silver-ware in the Telkom KnockoutCup, when they were booted fromthe tournament by Golden Ar-rows.

Urban Warriors will have tokeep an eye on SuperSport’s Ma-lawian dangerman Atusaye Nyon-do, who is currently the joint topscorer in the Absa PremiershipLeague.

He was also voted the PSL Play-er of the Month for August andSeptember and heads into thematch as the man to watch.

Newly-signed defender Mat-thew Booth might be the kick Ajaxneeds.

Booth recently signed a con-tract which lasts until the end ofthe season.

Over at the Santos camp, theteam is optimistic after reachingthe semi-finals in the TelkomKnockout Cup.

They are oozing confidence, al-though they had a difficult start tothe season.

The People’s Team, as they are

known to fans, faces two awaygames, a league match againstKaizer Chiefs and the TelkomKnockout semi against BidvestWits University.

When asked how Santos willprepare to play against one of thetop teams, coach Boebie Solomonscommented: “We don’t view otherteams as big teams. All games areimportant for us and we prepareit in the same serious way.”

He added: “An away game isnever easy and we expect to havea tough game against them.Against teams like Chiefs, playersare normally highly motivated toget a positive result.”

Solomons reckons the team isworking well together and newplayers like Jonathan Armogam,Jonathan Fransman, Pere Ari-weriyai and Warren Bishop aregetting used to the way the teamfunctions.

However, there is an unfortu-nate rash of injuries in the camp.Key players such as striker ErwinIsaacs, central defender WayneArendse – who is still recoveringfrom bruised ribs – and TshepoMotsoeneng, who has a knee inju-ry, may not be taking part in thematch.

“We are managing Motsoenengat this moment in time and assoon as we have an opportunitywe will try and solve this injuryproblem,” said Solomons.

Ajax takes on SuperSport Unit-ed on Friday at 20:00 at Cape TownStadium.

On Saturday, Santos faces Kaiz-er Chiefs at the Peter Mokaba Sta-dium at 20:15.

Management has eye on the prizeLYNN PRINS

THEY ARE always in the back-ground, spurring the players

on and formulating strategies totake their team to the top. Thisweek People’s Post will intro-duce the team behind the nation-al women’s softball side.

The eight-strong managementteam has been working around theclock, preparing the squad for argu-ably thebiggest tournament of theirsoftball careers.

He almost repeated this feat ear-lier this year, however the team fellshort when they were beaten byGauteng in the final.

tles in 2007 and 2010.Smith says his team is fully-fo-

cused on the task ahead and looksforward to a respectable result.

“South Africa will go out and becompetitive in every game. Our ob-jective is to play better than whatwe are ranked. Our strongest com-petitors in our preliminary groupwould be the USA and Canada andwe have to be mentally prepared foreach game.

“Goals are essentially tough, andI can only deal with what is in mycontrol,” he says.

“My goal is to have the girls pre-pared as well as possible. I can’t tellhow many games we will win,though,” he says with a laugh.

Shihaam Nacerodien, the as-sistant coach to Smith, has a wholehistory of softball seasons behindher.

She started off at the age of 10 andplayed in the Super League untilthe age of 45.

“I am excited to be part of thecoaching staff, and it’s great to becoaching at this level. Being part ofthe World Series is a big achieve-ment, and I’m proud of them all.”
