RETREAT ROAD: ILLEGAL DUMPING DRIVING BUSINESSES TO RUIN

Plot persists to sickenASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Business owners in Retreat say they arelosing out as a dump site right next totheir stores is a haven for criminal ac-

tivity turning customers away.The property between Sixth and Seventh

avenues on Retreat Road has become adumping site and hide-out for criminals inthe area.This is according to the business owners.“The plot is filled with rotten food, plastic,

paper and human and animal faeces,” saysa business owner, who spoke toPeople’s Poston condition of anonymity.“I have seen people using the plot as a toi-

let facility, relieving themselves against thewalls and behind the electrical box on thepavement.“It is absolutely disgusting that we have

to walk past this plot and people just carryon doing what they want to with no regardfor the businesses in the area,” he says.The plot has been vacant for years and

criminals have been taking advantage of thespace, he says.“They rob people and then run from Re-

treatRoad through theplot to get to the otherside and escape being caught,” he adds.Ward councillor Jan Burger says the plot

is private property and the owner recentlyhad it cleaned, but the dumping continues.“We have asked the owner as well as other

people who own plots that are being used asa dump site to close up their properties, butthat means they will have to fork out largesums of money because other people are be-ing irresponsible,” he says.Burger says there are people who have no

respect for others and do as they pleasewith-out a care. “Many of the people who dumptheir rubbish on private property live in thearea and their neighbours know they are re-sponsible for this illegal activity, but fearbeing victimised (if they report it) and there-fore the dumping continues,” he says.A shop owner, who does not want to be

identified, says he opened his store sevenyears agoand theplotwasalready filledwithrubbish.

“Nothing has changed over the past sevenyear besides the shrubs that were cut down;the dumping still continues, criminals arestill robbing people and homeless people arestill sleeping on the plot,” he says.He says little is done by council for the

community. “I drive around in affluent are-as and wish tht the same attention given tothose areas was given to us,” he says.He says in the past hehas called on council

to come out and do something to stop thiscriminal activity, but it falls on deaf ears.“The majority of the people here are run-

ning businesses and are losing customersbecause the area looks filthy. People do notwant to spend money in an area that is unti-dy and neglected,” he adds.

Broadcast:settlementreachedAfter 16 years of litigation, a settlement hasbeen reached between the South AfricanJewish Board of Deputies and Muslim com-munity radio station Radio 786.The Board took legal action after a broad-

cast by the station, owned by the IslamicUnity Convention (IUC), which aired viewsby historian Dr Yakub Zaki on the subjectof Israel and its founding.This programme was broadcast during

the 50th anniversary of the creation of theZionist state of Israel.According to the Board, the programme

featured “extensive anti-Jewish, recycledconspiracy fantasies and Holocaust denial”and they lodged a complaint against the sta-tion with the Independent Broadcasting Au-thority contending that the programmeamounted to hate-speech.“Antisemitic claims made in the broad-

castwere that Jewishpeoplewere the secret,conspiratorial engine behind catastrophicworld events such as the First and SecondWorld War, and Communist revolutions;that they stole natural resources from coun-tries such as South Africa; controlled worldbanking for their own benefit; and inventedtheHolocaust to invoke sympathy to, amongothers, facilitate the creation of the State ofIsrael,” the Board said in a statement.Radio 786 consistently argued it could not

be held liable for the views of guests. A hear-ing was held in December 2012 under Icasa’sComplaints and Compliance Committee andon Monday 31 March the convention issueda statement which “recognised that the ma-terial aired on Radio 786 could be viewed asantisemitic and nonsensical”, the Boardstated.Radio 786 acknowledges its broadcastmay

have caused “offence and distress to mem-bers of the South African Jewish communi-ty”.

YOUTH: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Fostering a safe haven to call homeCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A loving and caring environment isall a child really needs. But notmany children are afforded this op-

portunity as they fall through the cracksof abuse, neglect or poverty.Home from Home, a Cape Town-based

organisation, aims to remedy this situa-tion by creating and placing vulnerablechildren into homes of loving foster par-ents.Pippa Shaper, co-founder of the non-

profit organisation, says: “Home fromHome provides supportive and super-vised community-based foster care fororphaned, abused, neglected and vulner-able children through a network ofsmall, family homes in disadvantagedcommunities in the country. We believethat living in a small family unit withdedicated foster parents with no morethan six children, is the best place forchildren who can’t be cared for by theirown families.”The organisation has 33 foster homes

across the province and plans to extendtheir reach.“These are normal families in a nor-

mal home where the child will get sentto foster parents who can nurture themand provide the loving environment eve-ry child needs,” says Shaper.Currently 200 children are part of the

programme.“We provide and offer all the support

the foster parents may need, includingsocial work services.”Shaper says the aim of the organisa-

tion is to provide an alternative home ofcare to shelter the child from previous

abuse and neglect.“The children get placed with us after

they are referred from a children’scourt,” she says.All parents are screened and back-

ground checks are done as well as train-ing offered to ensure they can provide abetter living environment for the fosterchildren.“If we receive siblings through the

children’s court, we always place themtogether to maintain the biological fami-ly connection,” Shaper says.Every mother receives a grant to help

cover the financial costs to look aftereach child.“As far as possible we ensure there is

a mixture of ages and sexes of childrenwithin the home, thereby creating asclose to ‘normal’ a family environmentas possible for all foster children.”Foster mother Emily Kiel from Ocean

View says: “I enjoy working with youngchildren and had the opportunity to ap-ply for a full-time job that allowed me tolive out this vocation.”With six foster children in her care for

more than one year, Kiel has nurturedthem as her own since they were placedinto her care by social services.“Caring for six children is a full-time

job. This was an adjustment in and of it-self. (Whether they are a) biological orfoster child, they require the same love,care and support.”Kiel’s biological children are all

grown-up and have since moved out. Sheis, therefore, able to give undivided at-tention to the charges in her care.“Watching the children in my care

grow and blossom is particularly re-warding. I sit with them every day to as-

sist with their homework and supportthem through the challenges of schoollife. At the end of the term or the end ofthe school year, when this hard workpays off with excellent results, (it) is defi-nitely cause for celebration,” she says.Beauty Sqalane from Masiphumelele

is also a foster mother. While unable tohave children of her own, Sqalane says:“I have somuch love inmyheart for chil-dren. Being a fostermother has givenmethe chance to share this love.”Sqalane says: “This is an opportunity

to share my love with children who, be-fore living in foster care, have had verydifficult lives. The relationships I haveformedwith each ofmy children is some-thing that is very special.”Sqalane has been a foster mother for

more than two years.Home from Home has a specific strate-

gy and approach to follow when settingup a new foster home. Through this ap-proach they are able to ensure that thereis a definite need in the community foreach foster home, that the home is em-powered through community groupswhich support the project, that the homeis fully equipped and that foster parentsare constantly supported and supervisedby Home from Home to ensure the chil-dren receive the best possible care.All foster parents have the opportunity

to network with each other so they mayshare their experiences, learn from oneanother and share the responsibility ofraising their foster children.V Donations for Home from Home can be madethrough direct deposits to Home from Home Trust,Nedbank South Africa, branch code 101 109, ac­count number 101 110 9700.

Suspect soughtSteenberg police are searching for HazelJohnson, whom they believe can assist inan investigation into a murder which tookplace nearly three years ago.

Provincial police spokesperson Consta-ble Phindiswa Gcume says the murder wascommitted in Keppel Court, Lavender Hill,at 19:35 on Wednesday 1 June 2011. “The 52-year-old (victim) was stabbed in the chest,allegedly by his wife, Johnson,” she says.

“The suspect was arrested on the sameday and charged for murder. She appearedin the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court, (but)the case was withdrawn because there wasno prospect of successful prosecution.”

After being referred to the Public Prose-cutor for a decision, it was ruled Johnsonmust stand trial.

But the suspect cannot be found. “A war-rant was issued for her arrest,” Gcumesays.

Anyone with information on her possi-ble whereabouts can phone the investigat-ing officer Warrant Officer Nichol Brandton (021) 702 9000 or CrimeStop on08600 10111.

Prison warder gunned down in CapricornMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A 47-year-old prison warder from Capri-corn has died after being shot while try-ing to assist his neighbour.

According to a police report, AndileNgqabakwezi was trying to assist hisneighbour during a house robbery onSunday 30 March when he was shot.

Taxi driver John Frans says he re-turned home just after 20:30 and was con-fronted by two men in his home.

In a split second, Frans says one of themen cocked his gun, closed the front doorand kept asking him about work as a taxi

driver.“I have seen them hang around the Re-

treat taxi rank, but not sure if they aretaxi drivers,” he says.

Frans claims the men wanted to knowwhere they could get work as taxi driversand he told them to ask around at therank.

He says the second man took out a gunand the two starting looking for valua-bles.

“They wanted me to open the toolboxwhere I keep my change for the taxi andstarted beating me,” he says.

Frans says Ngqabakwezi heard thecommotion and knocked on the front door

but the men refused to open.“I opened the tool box and they took the

money,” he says.Frans says as they left they shot Ngqa-

bakwezi.Muizenberg police spokesperson Cap-

tain Stephen Knapp confirms the shoot-ing and says police are still investigating.

This week the Retreat Taxi Association(RTA) issued a press statement claimingthe shooting was a result of taxi violence.

But Frans says he cannot confirm themen who attacked him are taxi drivers.

Knapp says Ngqabakwezi was taken toVictoria Hospital.

He later died in hospital, says Knapp.

SEAWINDS: FLY AND FLEA INFESTATION BLAMED ON ILLEGAL DUMPING

Filthy park sparks outrageASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Residents of Seawinds are calling oncouncil to take stronger action to pre-vent illegal dumping at a park in Fran-

colin Crescent.A resident, who spoke to People’s Post on

condition of anonymity, says the stench em-anating from an illegal dump site is unbeara-ble and has left her with no choice but tokeep all her doors and windows closed eve-ryday.

She says the dumping started a year agoand illegal dumping takes place daily.

“There is a man in the area who sends chil-dren to dump his fish guts here and I haveto live with the stench,” she says.

“He has no regard for the residents hereand has no idea what impact his actionshave on our lives,” she adds.

Her son has asthma and struggles tobreathe. With the air around their home pol-luted she no longer allows him to play out-side as she fears he may pick up some sortof chest infection.

The field next to her house is strewn withplastic, cardboard, building material, dirtynappies and clothing.

“A few weeks ago someone dumped a deaddog here and it was decomposing and addedto the already disgusting smell we are expe-riencing. It makes me sick to the point whereI lost my appetite,” she says.

A neighbour who lives a few houses awayfrom the park says when she walks pass thesite she feels nauseous and has to cover hermouth when crossing the area.

“We cannot live like this. We are humanand clean people. I do not see why our areacannot be cleaned regularly. This has beengoing on for far too long,” she says.

She adds that the flies and fleas are in-creasing daily as more people dump theirrubbish at the park.

“We have flies in our homes and they sit

on everything, bringing the germs from thatdumpsite onto our property. Is council wait-ing for someone to get seriously ill beforethey do something or will they actually dosomething to assist us?” she fumes.

“We just want a clean environment wherewe can walk down the street without usingour clothes to cover our noses. (We want) aplace where our children can play outsidewithout getting into contact with other peo-

ple’s rubbish.”A resident, who does not want to be identi-

fied and has been living in the area for morethan 20 years, says the only way the dump-ing can be prevented or stopped is if councilcloses up the park or cleans it regularly.“Once people see the park is being takencare of they will realise this is not a dumpingsite,” he says.

Ward councillor Shaun August says he is

aware of the ongoing dumping problem inthe community and urges residents to lodgeformal complaints so he can have Law En-forcement and the City’s Health Departmentinvestigate the site.

“I want to encourage residents to speak upabout the dumping and who they believe isresponsible for this. Those who are caughtdumping will be fined R1 000 and may ap-pear in court on charges of illegal dumping.”

In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the City’s Solid WasteManagement Department has printed the letters ‘CCT SWM’ followed by a serial numberin black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can berecognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the Citycontinues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as wellas in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refusebags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with otherbags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste ManagementDepartment’s Cleansing Branch.

Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the City’s SolidWasteManagement branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail riaan.truter@capetown.gov.za.

If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumpingand dealt with accordingly.

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line withmaintaining a well-run city.

Water birds sufferIllegal oil dumpingtakes a toll on freshwater birds.On Thursday 20

March the SouthernAfrican Foundationfor the Conservationof Coastal Birds(Sanccob) came to therescue of nine Red-knobbed Coots andtwo Egyptian Geese.These birds were

found oiled in theLangvlei Pond in Re-treat by the City ofCape Town’s CityParks Management.The birds were

oiled with a mixture of used motor oiland hydraulic fluid.Sanccob’s team admitted the birds to

its centre inTableViewwhere theywerestabilised, washed and rehabilitatedover the course of two weeks.On Monday 31 March the Sanccob’s

staff and volunteers proudly released sixCoots and the two Egyptian Geese backinto the wild at the Rietvlei Nature Re-serve.The public is often unaware that all

oil, chemicals and otherwaste discardeddown our kitchen sinks, drains and toi-lets end up in the city’s sewerage systemand can potentially end up in sensitiveenvironments such as Langvlei.These harmful fluids can be fatal to

fish andwater bird species in dams, wet-landsand in theocean.Within the sewer-

age treatment cycle,once the water hasbeen purified it is ei-ther re-used or re-turned to our rivers,wetlands or to theocean.By dumping pollut-

ants into this systemwe make it difficultfor the authorities totreat and re-use ourresources.Here are a few tips

to help our environ-ment by disposingwaste responsibly:

. Pour kitchen fatsand oils into a con-

tainer; seal it and throw it into the rub-bish bin.

. Wipe greasy pots andpanswith a pa-per towel before washing.

. Use less detergent. The averagehousehold uses three times more deter-gent than manufacturers recommend.

. Choose a washing detergent with alow salt content. Check the label beforepurchasing.

. Ask your local pharmacy or councilfor advice on how to dispose of medi-cines and hazardous chemicals.

. Used motor oil should be stored inan appropriate container and taken toyour local oil collection facility so it canbe cleaned and re-used.V To find your nearest drop­off centre for usedoil go to www.rosefoundation.org.za or contactthe Rose Foundation on (021) 448 7492.

TASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup

The final phase of themulti-million randSteen Villa Social Housing phase isnearing completion.

The last of 700 families are expected to oc-cupy their homes at the end of the month.Completion of Phase 2B, the third of theproject,will bring an end to the developmentwhich commenced in 2009.The first of the last phase’s tenants moved

into their new homes late last month.The R30.4m phase comprises the develop-

ment of 100 mixed-use housing units.Phase 1 saw the construction of 450 units

and Phase 2A saw the building of 150 units.The entire development boasts a R202.8mbudget.The Military Road housing initiative is a

partnership between the provincial Depart-ment ofHumanSettlements, theCity ofCapeTown, the Social Housing Regulatory Au-thority, the Social Housing Company (Soh-co), the National Housing Finance Corpora-tion (NHFC) and the Dutch Stitching Inter-national Guarantee for Housing, sayshuman settlements spokesperson Char-maine Resandt.“This project was done under the Social

Housing Programme, which is defined as arental or cooperative housing option forhouseholds earning between R1501 andR7500 a month,” she says.“The units consist of bachelor, one-bed-

room and two-bedroom units. There was al-so ause of concrete components for elementsof construction such as kitchen units, doorsand window frames.”Most tenants were backyard dwellers or

council rental stock tenants. Current ten-ants are from areas in the greater Retreatand Grassy Park area.SandraCupido (53) is a formerKensington

resident who is excited about finally livingin her new home. Cupido was a backyarddweller for more than 10 years before mov-ing into a Steen Villa unit on Sunday 8 Sep-tember. “I was so excited about the move asthe day before we packed up to move (Satur-day 7 September) I celebrated my birthdayand it was the most amazing gift anyonecould have given me,” she says.“As a pensioner, I would never have been

able to afford my own place.”

Cupido shares the unit with her 22-year-old sonRandallAbrahams.“My sonand I areso happy to have our own place. This is adream come true for us. I never thought thiswould happen,” she says.Resandt further explains the project was

also a job creation initiative. “A total of 38local labourers were employed, while 167jobs were created,” she says.All tenants applied for tenancy, while

some qualifying tenants were drawn fromthe City’s housing database.The land, which houses the development

and the units, is owned by Sohco. “The com-pany will be directly responsible for the on-

going property management of the units, in-cluding rental collection, maintenance, en-suring compliance with neighbourhoodrules and social development programmes,”Resandt says. “Although 700 beneficiarieswill eventually benefit, the figure will in-crease as the purpose of social housing is toprovide beneficiaries with a housing optionto suit their income until their circumstanc-es improve and they consider buying theirown property and vacate the unit.”Sohco regional manager Marten Goven-

Lifeline to secure canalMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The problems which plague the LotusRiver Canal could soon be a thing of thepast.This comes after an application for

funding from the Mayor’s Redress Fundwas made by Subcouncil 18 to have thecanal fenced.The fund, introduced by mayor Patri-

cia de Lille, provides R10m in additiontoward allocation funds for use inwardswhich have experienced historic under-investment.According to a subcouncil report, each

subcouncil is expected to submit twoprojects valued at R500 000 each for con-sideration.The report also states these funds will

be allocated for the 2014/2015 financialyear.Following the ongoing concerns re-

garding illegal dumping and the safetyof young children, an application wasmade to have the Lotus River Canalfenced.In addition to fencing,ward councillor

Leslie Isaacs says they hope to installsteps, lighting and catch sensors.Isaacs explains young children are

prone to falling into the canalwhenplay-ing nearby.“The idea behind the steps is to create

an opportunity for anybody who falls in-to the canal to climb out.“The sensors will help prevent a body

from being swept into Zeekoevlei,” hesays.He says fencing will be erected along

parts of the canalwhich are closer to res-idential areas and the proposal for light-ing is aimed at curbing anti-social be-haviour at night.“We have received complaints about

people drinking alcohol and having sexat the canal,” Isaacs explains.“The lights will deter such activities.”Lotus River, Ottery and Grassy Park

Residents’Association (Logra) chairper-son Philip Bam has welcomed the appli-cation.He says the association was not sure

if steps were a good idea as it could alsobe used by people with “bad intentions”.Bam identifies dumping as the biggest

problem facing the canal.“The City makes an effort and resi-

dents mess it up,”says Bam.“We urge residents to not pollute the

canal.”In addition to the proposed safety

measures, Logra has proposed authori-ties look into developing a walk wayalong the canal.“This could be used by cyclists, jog-

gers and walkers to enjoy their naturalenvironment,” Bam adds.Isaacs says they are excited by the ap-

plication for funding as they hope it willbring an end to the problems experiencewith the canal.He says the subcouncil has continual-

ly tried to source funding for the canalbut has not been successful.“I submitted amotion for urgent fund-

ing but because there is never funding,the motion gets deferred,” he says.Mayoral Committee member for

Transport BrettHerron saysward-basedprojects have not yet been approved byDe Lille.He explains projects need to be imple-

mented within the financial year andneed to improve the quality of life of resi-dents.The list of approved projects is sched-

uled to be released before the start of thenext financial year.“Implementation can only commence

from the beginning of the new financialyear being on Tuesday 1 July. Actualwork on each project will depend on thetype of project.However, Herron says there are more

proposals than funding for the RedressFund.Thismeans the canalwill have to com-

pete with several other projects acrossCape Town.The fund will be implemented by the

transport department in consultationwith De Lille.V Share your thoughts on the canal. Starting withthe word “Post”. SMS your comments to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

Teen pregnancies a burdenReligion, philosophy, science and material-ism play itself out on the streets of CapeTown every day. In Jewish, Christian and Is-lamic mysticism the primordial idea thatyou cannot know God without knowingyourself and vice versa continues to impacton our immediate reality.Since 8% of all babies are born to girls un-

der 18 years, (it) places teen pregnancy sta-tistics beyond the customary prerogative ofreligion and morality. The 80 000 babiesborn every year to teenagers unable to man-age the obligation, is a growing anda seriousnational financial and social problem.The statistic places an added burden on

ratepayers and taxpayers that will carry onformany years. The increasing statistic sug-gest municipalities responsible for clinicswill, in time, buckle under the strain. SinceSouth African law allows children as youngas 12 years old to use contraceptiveswithoutthe permission of their parents, stoppingteenage pregnancies is in our collective na-

tional interest.It is evident that the education paid for by

the taxpayer and the religious and culturalprocesses sustained by countless communi-ties has failed to educate the 80 000 pregnantteens. Within all communities the ritual ofmarriage exists.In Deuteronomy 23:2 it is written that “No

one born of a forbidden unionmay enter theassembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth gen-eration, none of his descendants may enterthe assembly of the Lord.”In Islam children born out of wedlock are

not permitted to lead congregational prayeror inherit.In the next 10 years our society will have

a million babies born to teens. What valuesis societyprojectingontopregnant teens andwhat sustainable outcomes will we generatefor future generations. Since teenpregnancyis not new,will it becomepart of our culturalmorality?YAGYAH ADAMS

Gangs: play explains grim realityDavid Kramer’s adaptation ofWilly Rusell’s1983 tragic comedy Blood Brothers, showingat the Fugard, is absolutely brilliant andshould be seen by all South Africans whohave no clue about what is happening in ourpoverty-stricken townships.Kramer has very successfully brought to

the stage the life and struggles faced by poortownship residents in the Cape Flats, wheredrug addiction, drug peddling, gangsterismand crime of every kind are the order of theday.The main focus of the play is the failure

of the capitalist system to bring about anyform of equality. The capitalist system en-trenches the class system, where only therich benefit from it at the expense of thepoor, who are condemned to a life of eternalpoverty.The lack of job opportunities (and) skills,

and the absolute boredom and frustrationhave led many township youth into a life ofdrugs and gangsterism to blot the pain of liv-ing and to eke out a living.A recent BBC documentary on life in

Manenberg shouldmake ordinary South Af-ricans cringe with shame to learn that hu-

man beings in our country have become somorally decadent that they think nothing oftaking innocent lives in cold blood.This play has made it clear that our lead-

ers in government have lost control of lawand order in our townships.The play also looks at the role of big busi-

ness in the current levels of unemployment.When big corporates retrench staff in theirdroves for bigger profits, the retrenched aregrabbed by drug merchants and drug deal-ers, who in turn make our country totallyunsafe both for ordinary citizens and forbusinesses to set up and create employment.Much of the world’s poverty is a product

of capitalist social engineering and unbri-dled greed. Unless we find a more equitablesystem, we might just find that the worldwill be run by gangsters, who will controlthe law and governments of the day.Well done to David Kamer and the actors

for their superb acting and singing.This play should be seen by high school

children and be brought to the townships,not just to entertain them but to educatethem.

DR EV RAPITI

Your SMSes. Clive Jacobs, there aremore satellite dish-es on flats in Lavender Hill than the wholeof Retreat, but poverty is always blamed foreverything. SM

. Week after week you see a person blow-ing his own trumpet and praising himself inthe letters section.

. There are many good people in Laven-der Hill who help others for no financialgain, but out of the goodness of their hearts.

. Investigations need to start from the in-side. How did the con end up with the infor-mation or details of the arrested and end upcontacting the family? That can only happenwith inside help.

. The loans are better than the loansharks who rob us pensioners.

. Grant beneficiaries should be allowed togo for loans, but only from places suchMon-ey Line. I’ve seen how they work and I thinktheir rates are reasonable – where will youfind a place that charges so little interest?Please don’t get me wrong, I appreciate themoney government gives to our children butsometimes it gets so hard to keep up witheverything that the only solution is to go fora loan.

. People are crazy if they think it is ascam, but now they want to borrow moneyfrom (a) loan shark (and) pay R100?

. Ideally they should not, but they are des-perately in need.

. I was one of the people whomade a loan,but they didn’t tell me it is a Sassa initiative.

. I’m aware there are many underprivi-leged people in great need, but I feel it’s dis-gusting; it’s a money-making effort becausethey pay interest and it will just continuemonthly as they lend and lend. When will itstop?Some are not educated to understand they

have to pay interest. They are blinded bytheir needs and hunger. Poor people are tru-ly suffering. Please stop the loans for allgrant recipients.

. The only pockets that thesemoney lend-ers are interested in are their own. To any-one it would be obvious that this would bea permanent snare fromwhich no pensionerwill ever be able to escape.I don’t suppose there is any chance that

they were offered a reduced interest rate.Thatwouldbe toomuch to expect from (mon-eylenders)who claim they are trying tohelp.Shame on you!

letters@peoplespost.co.za | fax: 021 910 6501/06Third Floor, Bloemhof Building, 112 Edward Street,Tyger Valley, BellvillePreference will be given to letters of fewer than 350words. The deadline is Thursday at 13:00. Please give yourfull name, address and phone number (for our records, notfor publishing).

By internet standards it’s an oldmeme, but extremely ap-propriate in this instance.Keep Calm and smell the roses.Yes, easier said than done, in all honesty.We need to learn to unplug. Destress. Be kind to our-

selves. Learn to let go, even if for a little while.Our nation is in a super-frantic state, the anxiety about

our political future is turning ordinary citizens into surlymalcontents.Political bickering and back-stabbing and the propa-

ganda does take a toll on our weary bodies and minds.Granted, the report about Nkandla is distressing news.Yes, Jacob Zuma’s response to the report is dismaying.True, political defections do trigger an alarm.But equally important to note is that these things can-

not be solved overnight.So instead of wringing our hands in confounding knots

and frothing at the mouth, why not invest in yourself.Take a walk about your neighbourhood.Visit an aunt living several streets away. She’d marvel

at the spontaneity and generosity of the gesture.Start that project you’ve been delaying for months, if

not years.If you wish to direct your energy elsewhere, why not

volunteer your time at the library?Even better, rouse a few neighbours and clean a prob-

lem plot in your area.The gist is to exhale, do something meaningful and –

hopefully – fun.As sure as the sun rises in the east, our problems will

still be there when we plug back in to the South Africanpolitical arena.Barring a massive ecological catastrophe, Wednesday

7 May is a sure thing.So, be kind to yourself as, in turn, you are being kind

to others.

No rest for VarsityCup championsUCT will launch straight into West-

ern Province club rugby competi-tion less than a week after winning

their second FNB Varsity Cup title.The Ikey Tigers beat NWU Pukke in

the final in Potchefstroom on Mondaynight, but will have to keep the celebra-tions brief ahead of their first SuperLeague A fixture against Tygerberg onSaturday.They may not have much time to sa-

vour the victory, but Ikeys will certainlybe boosted by the manner of their win.UCT got off to a flying start as a flowing

backline move saw outside-centre HuwJones hit a gap and surge over for theopening try.Dean Grant’s conversion attempt hit

the upright to start what would be an in-consistent night with the boot.Pukke responded by forcingUCTback-

wards and a period of sustained pressuresaw the hosts take the lead when flankRhyk Welgemoed burst through a gapand scrumhalf Tiaan Dorfling convertedthe try.They took advantage of their momen-

tumand increased the lead as goodhandsdown the backline saw left wing LutherObi score in the corner.UCT were first to score when the sides

returned from the strategy break, withwing Richard Stewart finishing off acounter-attack after flank Jason Klaasenwona turnover inhis 22.Grantwasagainoff target from the kicking tee.UCTreceivedamassiveboostwhenop-

position centre JohanDeyselwas yellow-carded for a perceived reckless tackle,

but they could not capitalise before thehalf-time whistle sounded.Pukke were the next to score, with

hooker Armand van der Merwe power-ing his way over from close range aftera series of strong drives by the hosts.The try went unconverted and they

were again reduced to 14 men soon after-wards, when tighthead prop NhlanhlaNgcamu saw yellow for a high tackle.But Pukke continued scoring despite

the numerical disadvantage, with DillonSmit scoring a penalty to take the scoreto 20-10. UCT needed a response to getback into the game, and got it fromadriv-ing maul with the hard-working Klaasencrashing over to cut the deficit to 20-15.UCT were cut down to 14 men after a

cynical infringement from wing LihleliXoli on their try-line and Pukke capital-ised almost immediately, with Smit forc-ing hisway over to extend the lead again.Lock Francois Robbertse seemingly

put the result beyond doubtwhen he add-ed another try soon after, but UCT re-fused to accept their fate.Michael Botha andGrant hit backwith

two quick-fire tries, both of which wereconverted by Grant, before Nathan Nelstruck in extra time to hand the Ikeys thevictory.Grant added the extras to give UCT to

take the final score to 39-33.The fixture against Tygerberg will

A touch above the rest of SALIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The Western Cape Touch Rugby Associa-tion has claimed its second National In-ter-provincial Tournament (IPT) title

in just six months.Islanders took the overall title at the South

African Touch Association junior IPT inSeptember and added the senior overall titleto their collection in Durban last month.

Team manager Nadeema Levy says the ti-tles are a result of hard work in the face of

adversity.“It’s just hard work that makes us win;

there is no magic formula,” she says.“We trained on Sundays, because it’s the

only days players can attend practise. Ourplayers don’t have transport, so we had toarrange lifts and collect people. We don’thave our own field, so we have to move train-ing around to various places. We made sureour sessions are effective and worked hardin the short time we had (to practise).”

Islanders dominated the junior IPT, win-ning the boys under-19, under-17, under-15

and girls under-19 divisions.They also claimed silver in the girls un-

der-15 and bronze in the boys under-21 divi-sions.

Western Cape claimed four medals at thesenior event, winning the men’s open and in-vitational division, and claiming bronze inthe women’s open and mixed open divisions.

Levy says the impressive showing at thesenior IPT left the team “jubilant”, addingthe performance of the women’s teams wasthe biggest achievement.

“At the four previous tournaments, the

women’s teams didn’t perform but we havereally worked hard to develop and promotethe women’s game,” she says.

“We went from last at the previous tourna-ment to third, building a team from scratch.This was our biggest achievement and thefuture looks brighter for us going forward.”

Western Cape Islanders currently runstouch rugby leagues for around 50 schoolsin across the Cape Peninsula.V Anyone interested in participating in touch rugby,assisting or sponsoring can phone Levy on082 332 5155.

Mondale ready to defendSchools Cup titleMitchell’s Plain’s Mondale High School

have chosen to stick to a tried andtested formula ahead of the annual

Sanlam Kay Motsepe Schools Cup.Mondale won the Western Cape section of

the tournament and finished fifth at the na-tional championships last year.

Manager Nigel Crowie says the school hasagain decided to hand Dale Raynard thereigns for this campaign.

“We are not making any coaching changesas Dale has the experience. Last year hehelped the team to the national finals,”Crowie says.

“We believe he will be able do it again thisyear.”

Mondale have not yet begun preparationsfor the coming season, as most players alsorepresented the school in athletics.

The school is set to hold trials soon andCrowie says he will be judging the playerson determination, focus and skills.

All players will also have to maintain a60% average in academics to stay in the side,as per the school’s rules.

Six players from last year’s squad will beavailable for selection this season and Crow-ie believes their experience at the nationalfinals last year will be vital to Mondale’spush this year.

“Reaching the national finals last yearwas a huge achievement and, as first timers,finishing in fifth position out of 18 teams was

good going,” he says.“We hope to continue our winning streak

this year, but we know it will not be easy.The quality of football improves every year,especially with academies setting the trend.We need to keep abreast with this.”

Mondale may not have the finances or fa-cilities to compete with some of the academysides, but the school has produced talentedplayers regardless.

Dillan Fransch recently signed with theAjax Cape Town, while Brandon Deansigned with the Supersport United.

“I can’t take all the credit for what theyhave achieved,” Crowie says. “The boysworked very hard to be where they are to-day. They played for the school and their re-spective academies, but it’s an honourknowing that I had a hand in shaping theseboys’ futures, no matter how small my con-tribution.”

Last year Mondale beat Cloetesville Highin the regional final and Crowie believes theStellenbosch school will be their biggest ri-vals again this year.

“It was not an easy match – their defencewas stronger than anticipated,” he says.

“If we were to meet them (again), it’s goingto be tougher than last year and they willwant to deal with us.”

As provincial winners last year, the schoolreceived R100 000 in legacy funding. Crowiesays they plan to buy a minibus.

Slave Route Challenge entries openLIAM MOSESLiamCPT

Runners and walkers of all ages and experi-ence levels are advised to complete their en-tries for the fourth annual Jive Slave RouteChallenge.

Online entries for the popular race, ofwhich People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, opened yesterday (Wednesday) and areexpected to fill up quickly.

The race first took place in 2011 and thechallenge has since become a highlight onthe Cape Town sporting calendar. Last yearover 5000 people participated.

As usual, the route will take participantspast some of Cape Town’s most importanthistorical sights.

Race founder and director Farouk Meyersays the event is as much about educationas exercise.

“The idea was to highlight the slave herit-age sights because a lot of people don’t knowabout it,” he says.

“We have a lot of visitors from up-countryand many international entrants who willbe educated on the slave heritage and cul-ture of Cape Town.”

The route will take runners and walkerspass the Grand Parade, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Slave Lodge andthe Slave Tree Plaque.

Racers will also pass several other impor-

tant monuments, run through the Castle ofGood Hope and be able to take in excellentviews of the city from some of its best van-tage points.

Participants can enter for one of four dif-ferent races at event – ahalf-marathon, 10kmrun, 10km walk and 5km run.

Meyer says they aim to cater for the entirefamily and all ability levels.

Last year racers passed through the Castlesoon after starting the race in Darling Streetbetween the Grand Parade and City Hall.

The only change to the route will see run-ners travel through District Six before head-ing through the fort, to alleviate congestion

and allow participants more time for sight-seeing.

The section of the race through PentzStreet, Bo-Kaap has become a fan favourite,Meyer says.

“The hills in the race have been the talk-ing point, with one hill has even been nick-named ‘Koesister Hill’,” he says.

“Whenpeople get to the top of Pentz Street,they have a 360° view of the city and theycan enjoy a free koesister courtesy of the Bo-Kaap community.”

The racewill take place onSunday 11May.Online entries can be completedat www.jive.topevents.co.za.

Manual entries open on Monday 14 Apriland can be completed at any SportsmansWarehouse store in the province.

Milano still inthe runningfor gloryLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

MilanoUnitedare set to enter themostcrucial period of their NationalFirst Division campaign.

The Grassy Park side are clinging tothird place on the table and the Absa Pre-miership promotion-relegation play-offspot that comes with it.

However, with fourth-placed Jomo Cos-mos and fifth-placed Baroka FC level onpoints and trailing only by goal difference,any slip-ups in the final four games couldsee Milano out of the running.

But coach Theo Hempe believes his play-ers will not fold under the pressure.

“The most important thing is that (ourfate) is in our own hands,” he says.

“We are currently in the second play-offspot but we believe we are better that. Wewill definitely make it to the play-offs.”

Hempe may be certain of sealing thirdplace, but the position is far from sewn up.

Cosmos trail by just three goals, whileBaroka are four away – a gap that couldeasily be closed in the remaining fixtures.

Meanwhile, Milano’s own form has beenfar from sparkling.

TheBlack andYellow looked like serioustitle contenders not too long ago, with ahealthy lead at the top of the table, but adip in form has seen them tumble down thestandings.

Last month was a particularly dark peri-

od for Hempe’s charges, with only threepoints taken from a potential 15.

Milano kicked off the month with a 1-0loss to Santos at home, drew 2-2 away tobottom side Blackburn Rovers, lost 1-0 athome to Vasco da Gama, drew 2-2 away toWitbank Spurs and repeated that score-line against Thanda Royal Zulu.

They finally arrested the slide on Sun-day, winning 1-0 against Sivutsa Stars athome.

The victory aside, Hempe believes histeam performed better in their three awaydraws.

“Although the performances weren’tgood, the players grinded it out and got thethree points,” he says.

“That will help us get to the play-offs andcould help us turn the corner completely.”

He adds his players must replicate theaway form and home-field grit in all fourremaining clashes.

“When you score two goals away fromhome you are definitely doing somethingright,” Hempe says.

“We have been playing well, it’s just wehave to play with that same freedom athome again. I’m happy with how the guysare responding.”

Milano will face Maluti FET College inFree State on Saturday, before hostingBlack Leopards on Sunday 27 April, travel-ling to United FC on Sunday 4 May andhosting league leaders Chippa United onSunday 11 May.
