CANSA Shavathon is

one of South Africa’s best

-loved events in support

of a very worthy cause,

namely showing solidarity

with those affected by

cancer. Losing one’s hair

is a common side-effect

of cancer therapy – so

shaving your head has

become a symbolic ges-

ture of support for can-

cer survivors.

Colouring your hair or

paying a Bail Out Fee

have become options for

those who prefer not to

shave, or who can’t shave

on the day.

For those who like to be

actively engaged and to

make a difference, Sha-

vathon embraces volun-

teers. Their support is

invaluable.

2014 was the 11th

national CANSA

Shavathon, independ-

ently managed by CANSA

staff and volunteers.

784 Shavathons were

organised, made up of

274 work places, of which

CAI was one, 200

schools, 10 sporting

events, 285 malls and 15

other organisations.

Out in the field were, 79

269 thousand cans of

spray, 1 318 Wahl Clip-

pers, 5142 stencils, 947

capes, 818 bibs, 6000

posters and a whopping

53 090 CANSA wraps,

and 10915 UV wraps.

See below how the sha-vathon grew from strength

to strength in the last 10

years.

CAI had its 3rd golf day on 11 April 2014 at the Blue Valley Golf Estate and albeit

that we again had a full field of some 120 players.

The cocktail party was attended by 180 guests.

Judging by the mails of appreciation for being invited to the golf day and cocktail

party it can be concluded it was a hugely successful day.

It was decided this year to support the and a donation of

R 60 000-00 was made to the charity. Not only do we need to thank Aaltjie and

the CAI team for being involved with this great day a special thanks was also ex-

tended to the sponsors whom contributed to make this day possible.

In the line up for the prizes it was reassuring to see not to many CAI engineers in

the top listing, meaning that they are too busy on projects to attend to their

handicaps. A special thanks is therefore again extended to all of those involved in

the golf day and manning our T-box ensuring al the players had a few shooters as

well as all of those whom participated in making it such a success.

We are sure many relationships with clients had been renewed as the golf day

always afford us the opportunity to interact with our most valued clients on a

social basis.

Baby Eduan Meyer was born on

13 April 2014 at 08h28.

Weighing only 1.024 kg, with a

length of 36cm, baby Eduan is his

Mommy Arina, Harry’s daughter in-

law, and Daddy, Harry Jr.’s pride

and joy.

Eduan needs to gain some weight

before he can go

home but he is

healthy and

strong and the

doctors are all

happy with his

progress. Above: Eduan’s tiny little

hand on Daddy’s fingertip.

Born on the 28th of March 2014, the

Brand family welcomes baby Sofia.

Sofia has an older brother Izak who will

be the “protector” of his baby sister.

Weight : 3.19kg

Eureka went in on the 27th of September 2013 to give

birth via c-section to baby Bertram. From the spinal

injection to numb the lower part of the body, the spi-

nal, to where Bertram was actually born, took about 30

min or so. Baby B was a healthy 3.535kg with the cool-

est hair a new born can have… all bed head.

Eureka has been back since the start of February and

can’t believe that she is now the proud “owner” of a 7

month old “RUG RAT”

wedding day arrived.

Needless to say the day was per-

fect., the bride stunningly beautiful,

Louis was all handsome in his suit

Louis and Alicia spent their honey-

moon in Mauritius. A nice tropical

They love spend- ing time

Kim tied the knot at a “All

White” wedding on the 26th of

September 2013.

It was a beautiful garden wedding

held at the The Koi Farm Walk-

erville.

Kaylen Trompetter (the now

husband) decided after knowing

Kim for about 6 years it is time

to propose to her …

“Where and when??”

you might ask….

In hospital

on

Christmas Day…

A true romantic he is.

Strategically located within the

city centre and incorporating

an innovative, integrated

green design approach, the

elegant Portside building fea-

tures over 52000m² of prime

AAA office space.

Portside is perfectly posi-

tioned at the very heart of

Cape Town’s city centre.

Occupying an entire city

block, the building is bordered

by Buitengracht, Hans Stri-

jdom, Bree and Mechau

streets on the edge of the

emerging financial Foreshore

district.

With spectacular, panoramic

views of the city, port, iconic

Table Mountain and the Atlan-

tic seaboard, Portside is con-

veniently close to the Victoria

and Alfred Waterfront, Cape

Town International Conven-

tion Centre and Cape Town

International Airport.

This prime location offers

swift access to all inner-city

and bordering commercial

areas, with its landmark ad-

dress being both prestigious

and easy to locate.

At a 139m high, Portside will

be the tallest building in Cape

Town.

Portside— Cape Town’s Tallest Building

Tall Green and Healthy... A key consideration, throughout the

entire design and construction proc-

ess of the Portside building, has been

to ensure that the project success-

fully incorporates green building prin-

ciples in order to achieve a 4-Green

Star SA Office rating as administered

by the Green Building Council of SA

(GBCSA). The 4-Green Star rating

will place the Portside in a select

group of the most sustainable build-

ings to date in South Africa.

In order to successfully construct an

efficient, sustainable green building, a

well-integrated design approach

needed to be adopted; and Old Mu-

tual, First Rand Bank and the archi-

tectural and construction teams were

all committed to this methodology.

Throughout the design stages and

during construction, the incorpo-

ration of green building principles

was monitored and evaluated to

ensure the successful achieve-

ment of Portside’s Green Star SA

Office rating– which will ulti-

mately showcase innovative green

design in South Africa, create an

exceptionally healthy working en-

vironment and practically demon-

strate sustainable design for Cape

Town.
