    T

    able View residents have lauded a new

    initiative by a local business to curb

    taxi troubles in Raats Drive.

    A social media post showing taxis that

    have parked illegally being clamped and

    boxed in by other motorists went viral last

    week as Table View residents showed their

    support for the initiative.

    The behaviour of taxis in and around the

    Bayside Mall precinct has been a bone of

    contention for several months as motorists

    often vent their anger towards illegal opera-

    tors. Among the main concerns are taxis

    that drive in oncoming lanes endangering

    their passengers and othermotorists, illegal

    ranking alongBlaauwbergRoad and the bot-

    tle neck at the McDonalds slip way on

    BlaauwbergRoadas taxis block access to the

    mall as theyunloadpassengers this in spite

    of an allocated pick-up and drop-off point at

    the mall.

    Pieter Koekemoer, a former traffic officer,

    garnered a favourable response on the Table

    ViewNeighbours (new) page lastweekwhen

    he posted pictures of their initiative. Speak-

    ing to TygerBurger, Koekemoer says along

    with Craig Douglas, the owner of MotorPort

    Bayside and the filling station, they had

    enough of taxis using their property to col-

    lect and drop-off passengers.

    Douglas says the entrance in Raats Drive

    is blocked off daily as taxis continue to use

    their property.

    Koekemoer explains after reporting the

    matter to authoritieshewas continually told

    traffic officers could not intervene as this

    was private property despite the subsequent

    congestion caused along Raats Drive.

    We have just had enough. I used to be a

    traffic officer, and I can tell you its non-

    sense. The taxi operators do what they like

    and block several entrances from Blaauw-

    berg Road. We decided to take action and

    boxed them in. We also clamped them for

    standing illegally on our property andmade

    the owners of the taxis pay a release fee, he

    says.

    Koekemoer explains only three taxis were

    clamped, but the message to other drivers

    was clear. According to Douglas, since last

    week, no taxis have used their property and

    he is glad they got the message.

    FROM PAGE 1

    Koekemoer says their action did result in ac-

    tionwith taxi drivers, but the teamwould not

    easily be intimidated.

    We are not intimidated by taxi drivers and

    thosewhohadcomplaintswere told to contact

    the ownerswhowere then required to pay the

    release fee.

    This is a huge wake-up call for them. We

    have had enough, he says.

    The initiative garnered several messages

    from residents showing their support. The

    post also started various discussions as resi-

    dents also shared their experiences and frus-

    trations.

    On various Facebook pages, there are daily

    posts from irate motorists who have caught

    lawlessness on camera.

    When traffic operations are carried out,

    they are lauded by residents.

    Leon Alhadeff, chairperson of the Table

    View Ratepayers Association (TVRA), met

    with the business owner last week. He ex-

    plains while the frustrations of residents and

    businesses are clear, he was concerned about

    the associated security risk.

    The frustration is very clear, however, as

    43% of taxis operating in the area are unli-

    censed, there is concern about the possibility

    of violence and seeking possible recourse. I

    will be raising the matter with the City of

    Cape Town, he says.

    A

    clarion call for Melkbosstrand resi-

    dents to take to the streets to help curb

    crime has been made.

    According to a statement released by the

    Melkbosstrand Neighbourhood Watch

    (MNHW), the area is experiencing an in-

    crease in criminal activity and the continu-

    al expansion of urban growth along the R27

    will potentially have a huge impact on the

    security ofMelkbosstrand and surrounding

    areas.

    In response to this and other potential

    threats, the watch says action needs to be

    taken. Based on the success of street watch-

    es experienced in other areas, the watch

    hopes it will allow residents to have direct

    input intohelpingprotect theirhomes, their

    families and their community.

    Criminals will find it difficult to operate

    successfully in areas where the community

    comes together and acts as one. One of the

    most powerful methods of reducing crime

    on our streets is for each neighbour to be

    the eyes and ears of their neighbourhood,

    supported by organised communication

    systems at street and village levels.

    The statement also saysover the last three

    months Melkbosstrand has been piloting

    the street watch programme in a variety of

    streets throughout thevillage toassesswhat

    works best given the variety of people that

    make up an average street.

    Residents are invited to attend the launch

    of the streetwatchonWednesday 30Septem-

    ber at 18:45 at Melkbosstrand High School.

    Various community organisations, police,

    the Community Police Forum, Melkbos-

    strand Community Centre and ACVV will

    be present.

    Clarion call to fight crime

    Children from various schools

    gathered at Woodbridge Island

    Festival to get green light

    MONIQUE DUVAL

    @monique_duval

    A

    uthorities are waiting to tick one

    more box before the inaugural Blou-

    berg Festival is given the green light.

    The festival proposal came under scruti-

    ny in recent months following a public

    meeting on the issue.

    Last week residents discussed the matter

    on socialmedia platforms and it became ap-

    parent it had been approved by the City of

    Cape Town.

    According to City mayoral committee

    member for tourism, events and economic

    development, Garreth Bloor, officials are

    waiting for the noise exemption permit to

    be issued before the event is approved.

    Bloor confirms the festival, which is

    scheduled to take place at Dolphin Beach,

    is expected to attract between 5 000 and

    10 000 festival goers, and says the portion of

    the beach utilised for the event and the

    parking area adjacent to the event venue

    will be closed off to the public.

    All relevant plans are in place and ap-

    proval of the South African Police Services

    (SAPS)was receivedat theEvent Safety and

    Security Planning Committeemeeting held

    on Monday 21 September, he says.

    According to acting mayoral committee

    member for community services and spe-

    cial projects, SiyabulelaMamkeli, the orga-

    nisers pay R11 183 hire fee per day for the

    beach with a R1 962 breakage fee.

    Bloor further says theTransportManage-

    ment Plan (TMP) has been developed by a

    traffic consultant employed by the event or-

    ganiser and there will be temporary road

    closures in place.

    For the festival, he explains, there will be

    15 traffic officers, six metro police officers

    and 25 law enforcement officers paid for by

    the organisers at the current tariff charges.

    According to the festival website, the

    event will feature several headline acts in-

    cluding MiCasa and The Kiffness among

    others.

    The first Blouberg Festival will take place

    along Dolphin Beach to Marine Circle. In a

    public meeting the organisers said the

    dunes will be fenced off following

    concerns about the possible environmental

    impact. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

    ESM ERASMUS

    @erasmusesme

    I

    f nothing is being done about the eco-

    nomical pressure under which wine

    farms in certain areas of the Durban-

    ville wine valley are, there will be no more

    vineyards in these areas in 10 years time.

    This warning was issued by Gerrit van

    Rensburg, former provincial minister of

    agriculture in theWesternCape.VanRens-

    burg was appointed as chairperson of the

    board of directors of the Durbanville Inner

    Valley (DIV) initiative.

    According to Van Rensburg, this initia-

    tive was started in December 2013 by seven

    wine farms on Tygervalley Road who are

    facing a worsening financial outlook for

    wine farming.

    The purpose is to preserve the wine

    farming heritage, but also to ensure viable

    wine farming; to introduce other economic

    activities, a higher level of development

    where suitable, increase tourismandother

    activities in harmony with the character

    of the area and to address land reform, he

    said.

    The participating wine farms, which are

    home to 88 families, are Altydgedacht,

    Morgenster, Bloemendal, Nitida, Maas-

    tricht, DAria and Altydgedacht II.

    The area extends over 1 294 ha with 538

    ha currently under vineyard.

    Van Rensburg said these wine farmers

    are under threat. In an independent study

    by VinPro, an organisation rendering ex-

    pert services to South African wine pro-

    ducers and cellars, it was found that Dur-

    banville is the least profitable wine area in

    SouthAfrica compared to Robertson and

    Worcester, which is the most profitable.

    According to the report primary grape

    production on the typical Durbanville In-

    ner Valley unit is not sustainable and fi-

    nancially viable in its current state.

    The reasons for this is that farmers, due

    to economical pressure, fell behind with

    the planting of new vineyards. This led to

    the ageing of vineyards and lower proceeds

    per hectare, Van Rensburg said.

    Especially smaller farms are at stake,

    because their economy of scale is smaller.

    Water is limited

    and expensive to

    buy. Labour is also

    more expensive

    than in other wine

    areas. As a result of

    the wine valleys

    close proximity to

    the city, wine farms

    have to compete

    with other indus-

    tries in the city with

    salaries, Van Rens-

    burg said.

    Other contributing factors include high

    production costs, stagnant grape and wine

    prices, cash flow problems and high debt

    levels.

    It is important to note that the wine in-

    dustry via Vinpro itself found independ-

    ently that this wine region struggles, he

    said.

    Land is also very expensive and there

    are more pressure on these wine farmers

    to sell their land to developers, he said.

    All are aware of the pressures to use ag-

    ricultural and conservation land for hous-

    ing or business development.

    The farmers therefore felt a joint initia-

    tive by all the land owners in the valley,

    assisted by a professional team of experts,

    wouldbebest placed to comeupwith amul-

    ti-pronged sustainability model such as in

    the Napa Valley in the United States and

    elsewhere in Europe, he explained.

    The valley is located between Durban-

    ville and Ridgewood, with Tyger Valley

    Road to the N7 running through it a road

    that could be aptly renamed Sauvignon

    Boulevard, he said.

    The initiative

    started when the

    land owners and

    the Greater Tyger-

    berg Partnership

    (GTP) organised

    two initial public

    think debate ses-

    sions with the City

    of Cape Town.

    The workshops

    with the City and

    GTP took place in

    December 2013 and

    January 2014.

    The wine farmers formed a board with

    representatives of the Durbanville Heri-

    tage Society, The Valley Ratepayers Asso-

    ciationandKenridgeTheHillsRatepayers

    Association.Other institutions include the

    GTP, the Stellenbosch Universitys School

    of Public Leadership (SPL), provincial gov-

    ernment and the City.

    According toVanRensburg some techni-

    cal reports have already been done, includ-

    ing the one from Vinpro, as well as other

    planning, tourismand other socio-econom-

    ic reports.

    Theonlydecision thus far is to formthis

    initiative and its structures and to meet

    with the province and City as the relevant

    government authorities to seek guidance

    and a process for the objective of the initia-

    tive, he said.

    Three members of DIV and three City of-

    ficials met on 14 August to discuss process

    options.

    There are no development plans on the

    table.

    It must be emphasised that there is an

    existing Spatial Development Framework

    (SDF) of the City, which prescribes what

    type of development can currently take

    place in this region.

    If anyproposals fall outside of this exist-

    ing framework then amotivationwill need

    to be submitted which will form part of the

    review of the SDF, he said.

    Former wine farming areas around the

    Durbanville wine valley have been lost to

    development, such asWelgemoed,VanRie-

    beeckshof, Welgedacht, Kanonberg, Door

    de Kraal, Kenridge, Durbanville Hills and

    Aurora.

    The vineyards and natural beauty have

    made way for functional housing. Sadly,

    however, even the best architecture and

    landscaping is no match for nature.

    Without action or forward planning in

    respect of the Durbanville Inner Valley,

    wine farming would cease and one vine-

    yard after another would make way for ex-

    cavators and concrete.

    The right mix of wine farming and oth-

    er economic activities canpreserve theval-

    leys character and spirit, and present op-

    portunities for leisure and recreation and

    much more, he said.

    The only decision

    thus far is to form

    this initiative and its

    structures and to

    meetwith the

    province andCity...

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    The sixth annual Pink Lady Crafts for Can-

    cer event has never been more successful

    than this year.

    In the first year, only 25 women attended

    mostly because we begged them to come

    whereas this year we had waiting lists for

    tickets, says Theresa Richards, marketing

    consultant at Top Fruit who alongwith True

    Cape initiated this event to raise funds for

    the Tygerberg Hospital breast cancer clin-

    ics transport fund.

    The prestigious event was held at DAria

    wine estate on Saturday and they managed

    to raise R67 000 this year.

    Professor Justus Apffelstaedt, head of the

    breast clinic at Tygerberg Hospital, ex-

    plainedwhy this initiativewas so

    invaluable.

    Many of our patients live on

    government grants of about

    R1 200 per month. A round trip to

    Tygerberg hospital will cost them

    up to R150. The choice between

    having enough to eat for the fami-

    ly and transport for therapy is

    stark.

    Liza Matthews, marketing

    manager at PinkLady, said it was

    for this reason they chose this

    cause.

    Although treatment costs are

    covered by government, some pa-

    tients cannot afford the transport

    cost to and from the hospital for

    regular radiotherapy sessions.

    Apffelstaedt added this year

    was especially auspicious for him

    as itmarked his 20th year as head

    of this clinic.

    More importantly, he informed women of

    the latest technology in the field of breast

    cancer treatment.

    Oneof only twoautomatedbreast volume

    scanning machines on the entire African

    continent arrived four weeks ago. A probe

    scans over the entire breast, during which

    it records images that are sent to a computer

    for 3D reconstruction, he says.

    Not only is this method more effective to

    detect cancerous lesions in dense breast tis-

    sue of especially younger women, but it is

    also not as painful as a normal mammo-

    graph, he said.

    After learning the art of lino printing from

    Lizel Cloete, craft editor for Ideas magazine,

    the women were treated to the heavenly pi-

    ano soundsof virtuosoRoccodeVilliers, and

    a three-course meal with apples.

    The Western Cape minister of cultural af-

    fairs and sport, Anroux Marais, has called

    on residents to nominate their local culture

    heroes for the Cultural Affairs Awards.

    The awards are held annually to celebrate

    individuals and organisations in the West-

    ern Cape who are making a positive contri-

    bution in the cultural affairs sector. Awards

    have previously been given to organisations

    and individuals who have made a profound

    impact within the arts, culture, language,

    heritage, museums, archives, geographical

    names and libraries sectors in the province

    over the years.

    TheWestern Cape has a diverse and rich

    culture that must be nurtured and celebrat-

    The baby boom among teenagers has

    dropped and authorities are pleased with

    these latest statistics.

    According to statistics, there were 3 316

    babies born tomothers aged 18 or younger

    inCapeTown in 2013, which accounted for

    4,4% of all births recorded for that year.

    The data for 2014 shows that 2 936, or

    4,2%, of babies born fellwithin this catego-

    ry. This means that the teen pregnancy

    rate in Cape Town has slowed from 5,3%

    in 2006 to 4,2% in 2014.

    This is good news and bears testament

    to the availability of contraception and ed-

    ucation offered by a range of governmen-

    tal and non- governmental partners, said

    the Citys Maycomember for health, Siya-

    bulela Mamkeli.

    I also believe it is proof that young peo-

    ple are taking more responsibility for

    their sexual and reproductive health,

    something that we have been highlighting

    and it is also a key theme for World Con-

    traception Day later this week.

    World Contraception Day is held on

    Sunday 26 September. The vision of this

    annual worldwide campaign is to ensure

    that everypregnancy is awantedpregnan-

    cy. This is achieved through awareness

    drives so that young people can make in-

    formed choices about their sexual and re-

    productive health.

    Thehealthdepartment offers contracep-

    tives at its clinics across the city, includ-

    ing oral contraception, injectable contra-

    ception, intra-uterine devices, Implanon,

    sterilisation and condoms. Petogen, a

    three-month injection, is themost popular

    contraceptive at City clinics.

    The health department has noticed an

    increase in the uptake of reproductive

    health services in the last financial year.

    This can be attributed to the wide range

    of options available, but also the introduc-

    tion of fast lanes for family planning at

    some clinics. Visits aremanaged via a sys-

    tem that reduces waiting times. Where

    this service is not available, waiting times

    have the potential to influence whether

    clients return for follow-up visits. Anoth-

    er challenge is empoweringwomen so that

    they can negotiate birth spacing with

    their partners and involve their partners

    in decisions around family planning.

    The health department recently devised

    additional interventions to broaden its

    reach in the 12 to 18 age group.

    This includes partnering with schools

    and other City departments for education

    and awareness programmes, fast-tracking

    young people attending clinics for repro-

    ductive health reasons using queue mar-

    shals, increasing the availability of educa-

    tional materials, establishing a Preven-

    tion of Teen Pregnancy Forum to monitor

    trends and highlight concerns or challen-

    ges, and investigating the provision of

    more youth clinics.

    iteindelik is die verkeersligte by die

    aansluiting van Contermanskloof-en

    Tygervalleiweg aangeskakel.

    Die ligte by di kruising, waar verskeie

    ernstige ongelukke reeds plaasgevind het,

    is Vrydag deur Gerhard Fourie, voorsitter

    van Subraad 7 (Koeberg), aangeskakel.

    Volgens Fourie was die kruising sonder

    verkeersligte n groot kopseer. Inwoners

    van Durbanville het die pad begin gebruik

    om op die N7 te kom. Die N7 dien as alterna-

    tief vir die N1, waarop reeds te veel verkeer

    is. Uiteindelik het dit belangrik geword om

    hier verkeersligte aan te bring om lewens-

    verlies te voorkom, s Fourie.

    Hy s die Stad Kaapstad is ernstig om in-

    frastruktruur by toegangsroetes te verbe-

    ter. Dit blyk of Sanral

    (Suid-Afrikaanse pad-

    agentskap) hul voete sleep.

    So, van die Stad se kant af

    probeer ons om tedoenwat

    ons kan om te help.

    Ons wil ook inwoners

    van die omliggende gebie-

    de aanmoedig om met die

    Stad kontak te maak en te

    s hoe die nuwe verkeers-

    ligte hul lewens vergemak-

    lik. As daar aanpassings

    gedoen moet word, sal ons

    dit doen op aanbeveling

    van die padgebruikers, s

    Fourie.

    Hy het n beroep op in-

    woners gedoen om ver-

    keersrels te gehoorsaam.

    Ons probeer hard om

    die infrastruktuur op stan-

    daard te kry, maar as men-

    se nie verkeersrels ge-

    hoorsaamnie, dan is al ons

    werk tevergeefs. n Klein

    gebaar van bedagsaam-

    heidopdiepadkan nonge-

    Danny Bolton, voorsit-

    ter van Richwood se belas-

    tingbetalersvereniging,

    het die nuwe verkeersligte verwelkom.

    Dit is hoog tyd dat dit gebeur. Vir n lang

    tyd het die verkeer uit Durbanville en van

    die N7 se kant af gesorg vir groot verkeers-

    knope en noodlottige ongelukke. Met nuwe

    ontwikkelings wat in die gebied plaasvind,

    is dit ook hoog tyd om gesonde verkeers-

    vloei te bewerkstellig, s Bolton.

    Hy s hy hoop net van harte die verkeers-

    ligte word saam met di van Richwood ge-

    sinchroniseer. In Richwood sukkel ons

    omdat die verkeersligte nie ingestel is om

    die verkeer optimaal te laat vloei nie. Ge-

    stel die nuwe ligte werk ook nie lekker nie,

    kan die probleem net vererger wat aan-

    vanklik aangespreek is, redeneer Bolton.

    ucate, entertain, informandpromote the so-

    lutions and successes of recovery.

    With the focus on recovery international-

    ly during themonth of September, the festi-

    Residents are more likely to experience

    snake encounters due to spring-time, warns

    Shaun MacLeod, co-ordinator of the Snake

    Rescue volunteer team in the Cape Peninsu-

    la.

    Every spring snakes comeout of hiberna-

    tion on the hunt for a much needed spring

    meal. Snakes arevery important to ournatu-

    ral environment as they control the vermin

    rodents that destroy crops and carry numer-

    ous diseases, says MacLeod, who is also a

    director of Reptile Educational Awareness

    Consultants (REAC).

    Snakes and various other reptiles form

    part of the very important balance in our

    ecosystem. A simple equation the more

    snakes we kill, the more rodents and pests

    there will be.

    We have encroached into their natural

    habitat through habitat degradation, frag-

    mentation and urban expansion.

    Ponds, heaps of building rubble and rock-

    eries in and around gardens and homes cre-

    ate micro environments, which will inevita-

    bly attract snakes, MacLeod warns.

    He reminds residents that snakes are at-

    tracted to neglected areas where there is not

    muchdisturbance, as snakeshate confronta-

    tion.

    There is no real way of keeping snakes

    off your property, but if you keep your grass

    cut short, trees well trimmed and clean up

    all rubble, just to mention a few, then there

    is less likelihood for snakes to reside onyour

    property. In short keep your garden tidy,

    he says.

    Leave snakes alone and itwill leave you

    alone.Most bites occurwhen people attempt

    to kill snakes, he says.

    V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on

    082 532 5033 for advice or for emergencies.

    he City of Cape Towns

    social development and

    early childhood develop-

    ment directorate took its Give

    Responsibly campaign to the

    streets last Friday.

    Councillors and officials

    from the directorate were sta-

    tioned at 17 intersections in

    Durbanville, Bellville, Good-

    wood, Kuils River, Parow,

    Athlone, Mitchells Plain, Ot-

    tery, Diep River, Grassy Park,

    Somerset West, Strand, Gor-

    dons Bay, Wynberg, Lans-

    downe, Table View and the

    Cape Town CBD, armed with

    posters highlighting the im-

    portance of not giving hand-

    outs to street people.

    Some of the slogans used to

    drive the message home in-

    cluded: Hand-outs are not

    generous, they are harmful;

    By giving hand-outs, you are

    perpetuating a cycle of pover-

    ty; Your money is support-

    ing a drug dealer; Change is

    about more than a few coins;

    and Begging handicaps my future.

    We opted for this activation to create

    awareness about the fact that street corner

    hand-outs are doing little else other than

    perpetuating the cycle of dependence and

    keeping people on the streets, said Su-

    zette Little, the Citys mayco member for

    social development and early childhood

    development.

    The public has a shared responsibility

    for thewell-being of street people.Wemust

    understand that there is a very good

    chance that the R2 or R5 handed over at

    the intersection is feeding a habit instead

    of the individual.

    So lets change tack and move away

    from the instant gratification that amone-

    tary donation provides. My appeal to the

    public is to find out where their nearest

    shelter or organisation working with

    street people is, and liaisewith themabout

    how to make a real difference, whether it

    be donating clothes or other goods, or even

    volunteering, Little said.

    The City introduced its Give Responsi-

    bly campaign in 2010, aimed at encourag-

    ing the public to support the homeless by

    making donations to registered organisa-

    tions instead of individuals,

    thus breaking the cycle of de-

    pendence that keeps them on

    the street.

    In addition, the City has

    formulated a street people

    policy and implemented a

    number of interventions as

    part of its street people pro-

    gramme. The budget for this

    programme has grown from

    R4,5 million in 2013/14, to

    R7,8 million in 2014/15, to

    R9,7 million in 2015/16 an

    increase of more than 100%.

    The City has made great

    strides in its efforts to tackle

    homelessness. Our field

    workers engage with street

    people on a daily basis, offer-

    ing them access to a range of

    services including returning

    home where possible.

    On the other hand, we

    have structures set up within

    communities to prevent oth-

    ers from migrating to the

    streets. However, weve seen

    that many street people

    refuse our offers of assistance and Im not

    surprised.

    Why leave the streets when do-gooders

    dishout donations for very little in return?

    If we are ever going to make a real dent

    in reducing the number of people living on

    our streets and offer them a better life, we

    need to move away from the culture of in-

    discriminate giving.Giveahanduprather

    than a hand-out, Little said.

    V The City encourages members of the public to

    contact its toll-free number on 0800 872 201 for

    more information on how they can give responsi-

    bly.

    Councillors Phindile Maxiti (background), chairperson of the Citys

    homeless agency committee, and Philisa Marman participated in a Give

    Responsibly awareness drive in Cape Town last Friday.

    The Friends of Blaauwberg

    Conservation Area (BCA) will

    host its annual Heritage Day

    Talk and Walk on Thursday.

    In the lead up to the 210 year

    anniversary of The Battle of

    Blaauwberg in January 1806,

    they have invited the public to

    learnmore about local heritage.

    The day will start with a pre-

    sentation at Eerste Steen Re-

    sort, north Big Bay, Blouberg-

    strand, at 09:45 for 10:00 and a

    visit to Blaauwberg Hill, Blaa-

    uwberg Nature Reserve.

    Ian van Oordt will give a pre-

    sentation on his quest of many

    years to answer this question of

    the location of the Battlefield on

    8 January 1806. His research

    has taken him on a world-

    wide archive journey and lead

    to the University of Cape Town

    archaeological department

    partnership with BCA.

    This will be followed by a ca-

    sual walk or drive up Blaauw-

    berg Hill to enjoy spectacular

    views of Table Mountain and

    Robben Island and an overview

    of the whole area involved in

    the Battle of Blaauwberg.

    After the presentation the

    group will drive in convoy to

    theMorningstar access to drive

    or walk up Blaauwberg Hill for

    a picnic lunch at the top.

    ape Town schools are almost full and

    the Western Cape Education Depart-

    ment urges parents to enrol children

    as soon as possible.

    To date, schools in the Western Cape

    have processed 128 545 applications for

    placement for the 2016 school year. So far,

    118 429 learners have been placed, said ed-

    ucation minister Debbie Schfer in a state-

    ment to the media last week.

    Parents were encouraged to apply to

    schools by 30 June, and those who now still

    need spaces at schools need to urgently ap-

    proach their nearest schools or the closest

    district office to find out which schools still

    have spaces available, she said.

    We cannot guarantee places in schools

    of choice, but will do our utmost to place

    children appropriately. It is crucial that

    parents who have failed to enrol their child

    for the 2016 school year to do so urgently

    and before the end of the third term to en-

    sure they secure a place for their child.

    Schfer says there are currently 3 470

    learners who have been accepted at more

    than one school.

    Some 2 257 of these learners are Grade

    8 learners who have not confirmed if they

    are taking up their places, she says.

    Moreover, we expect that learners will

    continue to migrate to the Western Cape

    from other provinces in search of a better

    education and access to opportunities, she

    says.

    We have to prioritise according to the

    greatest need across the whole province,

    and available budget. Our current budget

    is under considerable pressure.

    Schools almost full

    GK pays out R500: Two Table View High School pupils competed in the KFM GK Quiz.

    The KFM team came to the school and the quiz was done live on air. The girls had to

    answer as many general knowledge questions correctly as possible in 60 seconds. Danielle

    van Eden went first and got 12 points and then Demi de Villiers (pictured) went next and

    got 13 points. She was crowned the winner and received R500 cash.

    When youve discovered that

    your vehicle has been broken

    into, please remember the

    following information:

    In order for the fingerprint

    technician to obtain finger-

    prints from the vehicle it is

    important to not disturb the

    area on the vehicle where the

    vehicle was broken into.

    Do not wash the vehicle or

    repair the window prior to

    fingerprints taken.

    The disturbance of the area

    where a possible fingerprint

    could be obtained from might

    have a negative impact on

    linking the fingerprint to a

    person whose fingerprints are

    registered as that belonging to

    a previous suspect linked to

    other cases.

    In order to avoid your

    vehicle from being broken into,

    follow this simple rule: Do not

    leave any valuables in your

    vehicle.

    LIEUTENANT ADRIANA CHANDLER,

    Table View SAPS

    Car broken into?

    Dont touch!

    One must recognise the role

    and the value added by civil

    society organisations to bring

    about change in our communi-

    ties.

    I would like to highlight that

    the role of women cannot be

    underestimated or undervalued

    in civil society. The value

    added by women, especially

    women in leadership in our

    society, is vital to any commu-

    nity in addressing social

    challenges.

    I think that in many organi-

    sations, its women who are

    instrumental in changing

    organisations that are strug-

    gling to achieve its develop-

    ment objectives.

    I have seen over the years in

    our communities, especially

    the Cape Flats, that it is the

    women who attend community

    Role ofwomen cant

    be undervalued

    meetings and its women who

    attend school meetings these

    days.

    Believe it or not, but it is

    the women who are leading

    change and in reality its the

    women who lead the fight

    against crime.

    Look at the number of

    women in our neighbourhood

    watches, our CPF police

    structures serving the commu-

    nity, even our churches and

    faith groups.

    Its women leading for

    change, and one wonders what

    happened to the men.

    I wrote to some women in

    our community who are

    already in leadership roles at

    their various community

    organisations, appealing and

    urging and asking them to

    consider playing an active role

    in sport development.

    Women support the men,

    their sons and even their

    daughters in all sport.

    Women are out making food

    for the youth, in meetings they

    are there recording minutes or

    fulfilling an administrative

    function serving the sport,

    serving the churches, serving

    the community, leading the way

    for change.

    The active participation of

    women in sport is changing

    and needs to change in our

    communities at all levels as

    community organisations need

    a womens perspective in

    meetings and in decision-mak-

    ing.

    I dont have to remind the

    sports leaders that the current

    role of women in politics, and

    in other sports where their

    experience adds value and their

    presence changes the land-

    scapes even in our current

    and young democracy.

    Whether we like it or not

    women are making a vast

    difference on the political

    scene, so much so theres a call

    for the President of South

    Africa to be a woman.

    Women are making their

    voices heard on all fronts

    adding value to a better society;

    a better South Africa.

    I would like to inform home

    owners who are selling their

    property to be very careful

    regarding Beetle, Electrical and

    Plumbing Certificates of

    Clearance.

    I recently had a company

    check my home. This company

    offers all three services but

    after their inspection I was

    shocked to see the amount of

    repairs needed, in fact there

    were things wrong which were

    not wrong.

    So please, scrutinise the

    repair list and get a second

    opinion. It may be more

    expensive, but get in a separate

    plumber, electrician, etc.

    I was fortunate, I never got

    caught and found a good honest

    plumber and electrician.

    Asecond opinion

    always a good idea

    In 2008 November was daar n

    gediggie wat Bettie Versfeld

    geskryf het. Mense wat troetel-

    diere het, kyk tog mooi na

    hulle. Hiers die gedig:

    Onthou, mensvriende, ont-

    hou ...

    As die son skroei, waar is ek

    nou? Hang my koppie in n

    warm volkou. Sonder kos en

    water net so gelos deur jou.

    Onthou, mensvriende, ont-

    hou ...

    Staan ek vasgemaak aan n

    kort tou? Sonder water en kos.

    Net so het jy my gelos!

    Stel jou in my plek. As ek

    liefdevol jou hand kom lek.

    Jou gee ek my lewe.

    Selfs as ek van vrees bewe!

    Onthou, mensvriende, ont-

    hou ... As jy lekker vakansie

    gaan hou. Eks alleen in

    feestyd-lawaai. Selfs dan sal my

    stertjie vir jou swaai. Onthou

    my lyding ... Onthou!

    Dankie, Bettie, hoop mense

    waardeer ons troeteldiere.

    LEWENSKIEKIE

    Taxi tensions

    come as no

    surprise

    Imagine this. You are driving along

    Blaauwberg Road when you hear a loud

    bang. Your car is damaged, you are late

    for work and the taxi driver who collided

    into your vehicle has no licence, no

    permit and no insurance.

    A scenario, which would have any

    motorist seething. And while the taxi

    driver gets a R500 fine, you have to deal

    with insurance claims, vehicle repairs

    and the associated trauma.

    The area around Blaauwberg Road has

    become synonymous with near misses,

    illegal ranks and taxi drivers who drive

    in oncoming lanes to avoid congestion.

    All of the above results in one thing:

    frustration.

    Recently a local business owner took

    matters in his own hands and started

    boxing-in taxis ranking on his property.

    His actions were lauded by the communi-

    ty and after months of frustration, his

    actions come as no surprise.

    Amid the furore are underlying com-

    plex municipal issues including taxi

    recapitalisation, the institution of the

    MyCiTi bus service and illegal operators.

    And while it will take time to sort

    these out, the current situation in the

    greater Table View area is reaching fever

    pitch. The simple solution is enforcement,

    but when resources are scarce and

    excuses plentiful, anger will continue to

    mount.

    A strategic and methodical approach is

    needed but truth be told, people will only

    continue to break the law as long as they

    are allowed to do so.

    mekaar vandat hy n klein seun-

    tjie is en die een vleuel vanhierdie

    Oostersee-man se huis, waar hy 42 jaar

    lank woon, is nou al n museum.

    Billy s toe sy vrou nog gelewe het,

    was daar rels oor hoeveel van die huis

    aan die gedenkwaardighede afgestaan

    kan word, maar die afgelope paar jaar

    woon Billy en sy hondjie, Baba, alleen

    hier en is Billy se heiligdom besig om

    vinnig uit te brei.

    Ek het honderde pette teen die mure

    waarvan nie twee dieselfde is nie. Hon-

    derde dasse, boeke en DVDs, vertel hy

    trots. Hy het rakke vol getekende truie

    en rugbyballe, elke moontlike nuusbe-

    rig oor Duane Vermeulen (sy gunste-

    ling-speler) enEbenEtsebeth se sokkies

    waarmee hy in 1973 haker vir Bellville

    gespeel het.

    Helde

    Fotos van hom saam met sy helde

    hang deur die huis en die plafon van sy

    braai- en eetkamer is uitgevoer met tal-

    wat sy gunsteling-besitting is. Di, ook

    genaamd Baba, het n geboortesertifi-

    Billy het n span ondersteuners wat

    hom help om sy versameling uit te brei.

    Nadat hy vir 30 jaar in die onderwys

    was, het hy in 1996 n tuindienste-onder-

    ente, familie en vriende sy versameling

    met vele skatte aangevul.

    My skoonseun se pa bly in Nieu-See-

    land en hy het vir my twee regte silwer-

    Not just an entertainer

    LOUISA STEYL

    @lounotes

    Comedy magician Marcel Ou-

    dejans is not just an entertain-

    er. He sees himself as more of

    a fun facilitator.

    The Pinelands resident, who

    grew up in the northern sub-

    urbs, will be doing a rare pub-

    lic show inCapeTownwhenhe

    presents Sleight of Mouth 2:

    Now talk your way out of this!

    as part of the Cape Town

    Fringe Festival from Thurs-

    day.

    The show is a sequel to

    Sleight of Mouth The art of

    talking your way out of any-

    thing, which he performed at

    last years Fringe Festival.

    The new show features new

    magic, delivered in Marcels

    trademark witty stand-up

    style. Theres also more story-

    telling with anecdotes about

    his travels and experiences as

    a magician.

    Performing magic for people

    who arent expecting it usually

    produces interesting results.

    On one occasion, for example,

    he stopped for lunchonhisway

    to a showanddecided tobright-

    en someones day with a magic

    trick. The woman freaked out

    because she had no one around to corrobo-

    rate that it had actually happened.

    One could almost say Marcels comedy

    career started with people who werent ex-

    pecting it. When other children were wait-

    ing tables,Marcel,whohad already started

    doing shows at the Bellville Library over

    school holidays, was performing in restau-

    rants for tips.

    Today, Marcel is one of the countrys

    leading performers. In 2008 he was recog-

    nised as one of Africas leading magicians

    at the Vismayan International Magic Con-

    vention held in India.

    Most of his work is for corporate events,

    where he acts as emcee or more recently,

    teaches people about the importance of

    play in the workplace or as he puts it to

    take play seriously.

    He believes learning to have fun or em-

    bracing cultural arts, gives people a

    means to express themselves, some-

    thing which is essential to under-

    standingotherpeople andhavingem-

    pathy.

    He works with businesses to help

    them create a wow in customer ser-

    vice, usingmagic to prove his point.

    Customer service is something

    Marcel takes seriously and its im-

    portant to him that his audiences feel

    like they are getting a genuine, sin-

    cere performance.

    This is where his improvisation

    skills come in handy; giving him the

    ability to adapt to his audience and

    make his shows more interactive.

    Although theres a light narrative

    running through Sleight of Mouth 2:

    Now talk yourway out of this!,Marcel

    doesnt like the idea of a magic show

    thats too scripted. You want to

    make the audience feel like this is

    happening for the first time.

    His performance at the Fringe Fes-

    tival is an opportunity to see another

    side of his extensive repertoire and

    escape reality for an hour.

    Marcel says the festival itself is a

    chance to see a wide variety of pro-

    ductions, from theatre pieces to mag-

    ic, in one place and urges Capetoni-

    ans to buy tickets early and support

    the local performers on stage this

    year.

    V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out

    of this! will be on stage at Cape Town City

    Hall Theatre 3 at 19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday

    25, Tuesday 29 September and Friday 2 October.

    Shows will also run at 17:30 on Saturday 26 and

    Monday 28 September, at 15:00 on Sunday 27 Sep-

    tember and at 13:05 on Thursday 1 October. Marcel
