According to Cedric Hendricks from the Macassar Environmental and Nature Conservation Society and Coastal Forum the dumping pri- marily takes place along New and Bermuda Roads in Macassar Village. Hendricks says the dumping site has been there for so long that it is overgrown with grass by now. During the Helderberg Gazette’s visit to the dumping site directly op- posite a residential area household waste, used nappies, plastic and building rubble were strewn there, as well as heaps of sand. Residents spoke to the Gazette, but chose to do so anonymously. The waste site has also become a breeding ground for rats and scorpi- ons, said one resident. Another resident living opposite the site recalls an incident in which her dog brought a scorpion into her house from the dumping site. However, illegal dumping seems to be nothing new in Macassar and some residents have given up hope. “Every now and then people clean up but the dumping just continues,” she said. An open field opposite Aylesbury Park is also slowly becoming a dump- ing site which is filled with house- hold waste and building rubble. A resident who resides directly op- posite the field said she has, on nu- merous occasions, seen a white bak- kie dump building rubble on the open field opposite her house. Another resident claims that drugs are being sold behind the heaps of sand. “Children no longer play there be- cause of this,” she alleged. “The drug dealers hide behind the heaps of sand and waste.” Macassar police spokesperson, Const Chrisy Young said the police are aware of alleged drug dealing tak- ing place and that the area is pa- trolled by police regularly. Hendricks said that they have in- vestigated the problem extensively and have informed their local coun- cillor, John Heuvel, as far back as 2009. “Nothing has, however, been done about the problem,” he said. “We have discussed the illegal dumping in every council meeting, it’s not something new. The blue (waste) bags are still along the road over weekends,” said councillor Heuvel. He added that they were promised the bags will be removed. According to councillor Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayco member for Util- ity Services, City of Cape Town, the City has deployed a team to inspect the site. “Once the assessment is finalised, detailed comment will be provided. We can’t provide timelines for how long it will take at this stage,” he said. According to councillor Lungiswa James, Mayco member for Health, City of Cape Town, City Health has never received a complaint about this particular site before. “The complaint was investigated and City Health will arrange with the Solid Waste Department to remove the building rubble as soon as possi- ble,” said James.

Alicia: our next Zola Budd?ASHRAF BOOLEY
AliciaHartnick(19) fromMacas-sar decided to pursue sports atthe tender age of eight after los-ing her father to chronic Hepati-tis B.
“After Alicia’s father died whenshe was eight, I sat her down andtold her that she needs to decidewhat she would like to becomewhen she grows up, and she saidthat she would like to pursuesports,” says Alicia’s mom, There-sa Hartnick.
Since the start of her sporting ca-reer she has won over 100 medalsin various sports including netballand athletics.
What makes Hartnick unique isthat she, like Zola Budd, the famousathlete who twice broke the worldrecord in the women’s 5 000 m andwas twice the women’s winner atthe World Cross-country Champi-onships, also runs barefoot.
“It feels easier to run barefoot,and running shoes are too expen-sive,” says Hartnick, when askedabout it. Alicia excels in cross-country running and this took herto the SA Schools Championship inRustenburg last year, where shewas placed fourth in the 6 km racefor u.19 girls. She was also chosenfor the Western Province team onthe same day.
Her list of achievements datesbackquiteafewyears. In2011,Hart-
nick also particpated in the SouthAfrican Schools Championships –this time in the girls’ u. 17 cross-country division – and in 2012 shereceived a merit award from West-ern Province High Schools Athlet-ics, while also being named sports-woman of the year at ZandvlietHigh School in Macassar (as in theyear before), where she matriculat-
ed last year.Another highlight was back in
2007, when Hartnick was placedthird in the girls’ u.13 1 500 m in theWestern Province Primary SchoolsAthletic Championships.
These are only some of the manyawards which reveal what an ex-ceptional sportswoman Hartnickis.
She is now a member of the Hel-derberg Harriers Club and comesfrom a family who loves sport. Hermother plays netball for the NuCleaning Services where sheworks.
In September last year, duringher matric examination, a sectionof the Hartnick house in MacassarVillage was burnt down whichcaused them a great deal of hard-ship. Hartnick expresses howgrateful she is to BernardHoltkamp from Germany, who sup-ported her family after the fire.
Despite some setbacks, she re-mains optimistic. Hartnick wantsto become a Life Orientation teach-er some day. “I want to become alife orientation teacher because Iwant to work with pupils at schooland be involved in sports in thatway as well.”
But she still needs more spon-sors, and although she runs bare-foot, she would love to have run-ning shoes. Anyone who wants tosponsor Hartnick can phone her on082 4832 907, or her mother on073 444 3759.

A group of discontented Lwandleand Nomzamo residents ran a pro-test from Lwandle to the SomersetWest municipality recently.
Stembiso Weduwedu, a representa-tive of the Lwandle Nomzamo infor-mal settlements task team, said thatthe protest, on 30May, was in demandof better service delivery, housing,electricity, water and sanitation.“Wehave been living in these condi-
tions for 19 years and we have to walkfar to get water at the taps,” he said.NomveloMtana, a resident of Lwan-
dlewho liveswith her baby and sister,recounts the ex-tent to which thefloods affect themduring winter be-cause of improperhousing.“It gets so bad
during winter thatwehavetoputsandall over the housetoabsorb thewaterduring floods,” shesaid.
“My baby getssick more easilywhen there arefloods because theplace gets verycold,” she added.According to an-
other resident,Mthetheleli Mado-lo, theCity’sDisas-ter Risk Manage-ment providedthem with food af-
ter the recent floods. “What we reallyneed is sandwhichwearenot suppliedwith, but have to buy ourselves,” hesaid.“When I woke up the Saturday
morning, I couldn’t even light thestove to make food. I had to sleep withneighbours because my home wascompletely flooded. I couldn’t even goto work on the Monday because I wasstill busy clearing out the water thatwas flooding my home,” said anotherresident, Thabisa Bakaqala.Thesearemerelyafewvoicesofresi-
dents who want proper housing, espe-ciallywhentheirhomesarefrequentlyflooded.Stuart Pringle, subcouncil 8 chair-
person, accepted a memorandum on
behalf of councillor Tandeka Gqada,Maycomemberforhumansettlementsat the municipal offices.Pringle said that the issue is “mas-
sively complex” since many of theseresidents do not reside on land ownedbytheCityofCapeTown.“Wearedeal-ing with people living on Sanral landwho are demandinghousing in prefer-ence to the 500 000 others already ona waiting list. We have a due processin place,” said Pringle.“The issues raisedhavemostlybeen
addressed in several subcouncil meet-ings, as well as a workshop to whichthe residents andmembers of the com-munity were invited.”Pringle further said that he is un
sure whether ward councillors havenot communicated theCity’s plans to assiststhe residents to the af-fected parties orwhether the communi-ty simply does not ac-cept it.Weduwedu said that
they would like theCity to respond within21 days on when theirneed for housing willbe addressed.

Hoekom so honger in diewinter?Die koue weer maak dat baievan ons nie net in die huis enselfs in die bed wil bly nie,maar dit skep ook dikwels diebehoefte aan lekker kos.Die winter is ook ’n tyd
waarinmense hul gewone oe-fenprogrammebeginafskeep,tesame met ’n skielike veran-dering in hul diëte. Oefenses-sies lyk na net te veel moeiteendieselfdissiplinevirgeson-de eetgewoontes bly ook effeagterweë.Navorsing toon dat mense
indiewintermaandemeer lusis vir goedvoel-kos of comfortfood, soos dit algemeen be-kend staan. Dit is omdat onsna koolhidraat-ryk kos smagwanneer temperature daal,soosbrediesen fynaartappelswat onswarm en geborge laatvoel.Die Gazette het ’n paar le-
sers gevra of hulle in die win-
ter hunker nameer kos en in-dien wel, wat die rede daar-voor is. Vir dié lesers watgewoonlik gesond eet, het onsgevra watter maatreëls hulleinstel om hul eetlus in diewinter in toom te hou.
Alledine Nomdo van Macassar sêgedurende die winter eet sy defini-tief baie meer. “Ek eet behoorlikeen eintlik meer gesonde kos gedu-rende die winter, maar dan het ekmeer uitgawes,” vertel Nomdo.

Carol Marthinus van Macassar Vil-lage sê sy eet nie baie gedurendediewinter nie,want sy is ’ndiabeet.“Ek eet baie gesond gedurende diewinter – baie water en baie groen-te,” vertel Marthinus.
“Ek eet baie meer in die winter,”sê Eugene Jooste van Macassar.“Ek eet warm kosse in die winterommywarm tehouenommymeerenergie te gee, veral in hierdie koueweer,” vertel Jooste.
“Ek eet nie net baie in die winternie, maar oor die algemeen en ekeet baie warm kos,” vertel MelchorMartinus van Strand.
Peter Botes van Macassar sê dathy meer eet in die winter, maarhy probeermeer gesonde kos, soosgroentesop, eet.
“Ek probeer gesond eet, maar indie winter is dit baie swaar,” sê Ga-mieda Isaacs van Macassar. “Ekdoen gewoonlik oefeninge in dieweek om op te maak.”
Gee om, deel ’n bietjie winterwarmteDie Helderberg Gazette het onlangs ’n winter-warmte-projek, Gazette Gee Om, begin omHel-derberg-kinders dié winter warm en in dieskoolbanke te hou.By verskeie skole in die Helderberg is baie
leerlinge se ouers werkloos en geld skaars.Daarom het sommige leerlinge nie truie nie enbly op koue dae by die huis of kom skool toe
met net ’n hemp by hul ander klere aan.XolaniGontashi, onderhoof vanSolomonQa-
tyana Primêr in Nomzamo, sê: “Baie kinderskomindiebitterkoue skool toemetnet ’nhempby hul ander skoolklere aan. Onsmoet dikwelstruie van ander leerlinge leen, en onderwyserssit koerantpapier onder die leerlinge se hemdeom hulle warm te probeer hou.”Die koue het ’n direkte uitwerking op leerlin-
gesevermoë omte leer.Dit iskommerwekkendaangesien die hulpbehoewende skole onder dieprovinsiale gemiddeld presteer wat geletterd-heid en syfervaardigheidbetref.HelpdieGazet-te om ’n bietjie warmte te gee.

Make winter warmerTHE public is asked todonate clothes, blan-kets, non-perishablefoodoramonetarydo-nation to the RoundTable’s WinterKnights project.
The Tablers fromSomerset West RoundTable 31 will once againspend a night out in thecold on Friday 21 Juneas part of the project toaid those in need. Theyhope that their effortwill also encourage gen-erous Helderberg resi-dents to come to theiraid. They will start theevening wearing no more than a pair ofshorts and a T-shirt and will only warmthemselves with whatever is donated tothem throughout the night. They will gath-er in the parking area of Manuka Restau-rant in Somerset West from 18:00, and willremain out in the cold until 03:00 on Satur-day morning. This is the Friday evening
closest to winter solstice, which is the long-est and, in theory, coldest night. Donationsthat will be gathered will be distributed towelfare organisations in Helderberg. Any-one who wishes to donate towards theproject can take it to Manuka Restaurantin Main Road (opposite the police station)between 18:00 and 03:00.

Breakfast at schools should be applaudedBreakfast at schools should be applaudedWe live in a country with an unemploymentrate anywhere between 25% and 35%.The children of parents who cannot afford
to feed them, will struggle to concentrate inclass, which will lead to lower pass rates andprevent these pupils from realising their aca-demic potential.The first duty of any civilised country must
be to protect the needs of the most vulnerable,particularly children.School feedingschemesnotonly increase the
cognitive and academic performance of stu-dents receiving these meals, but also ensurethat the children are more likely to attendschool.Ourcountryalreadyfacesahostofsocialand
societal ills, and I am astounded that the oppo-
nents of school feeding schemes would rathersee theseproblemsincrease thanhavethestateprovidebreakfast tochildrenwhowouldother-wiseeitherattendschool toohungry toconcen-trate or not attend school at all.The fact is that encouraging children to at-
tend school and assisting them to concentratein classmust be to the benefit of these childrenand ultimately to society as a whole.It alsohas thepotential toreduce thechances
of increasing social and societal problems forwhich the State would have to use tax payers’money in any event. School feeding schemesare not a new phenomenon, nor are they con-fined to South Africa.After the Anglo-Boer War, during the Great
Depression and in contemporary times in
countries fromtheUSAtoNewZealand, schoolfeeding schemes run by the state existed to thebenefit of the children.Thesituationwouldbedisastrous if theState
washed its hands of the most vulnerable mem-bers of society simply because their parentscould not, for whatever reason, afford to feedthem properly.Thedecisionby theWesternCapeEducation
Department to expand the school feedingscheme follows a precedent from around theworld and from other times in our country’shistory when people could not afford to feedtheir children. It should be welcomed and ap-plauded!
