Sticky issuesduring U2concertVERNA VAN DIEMEN
WHILE the U2 concert atCape Town Stadium on Fri-
day went down a treat, it was notwithout a few hiccups.
Local residents complainedabout noise and parking woeswhich resulted in some getting traf-fic fines.
Their pleas have not fallen ondeaf ears, and ward councillor JPSmith has set the wheels in motionto improve conditions at future sta-dium events.
Noise testing devices have beenset around Green Point and MouillePoint, aswell as amonitoringmech-anism to oversee traf-fic.
Smith says the citywill use the findingsfrom these mecha-nisms as soon as theybecome available, tothebenefit of local res-idents.
“We placed noisetesting devices at var-ious spots; one inMouille Point, one inYork Road, GreenPoint and the otherone on a high hill inGreen Point.
“I am awaiting re-ports on the results ofthe traffic and noiselevel mechanisms.”
During the concert, a number ofGreen Point residents were finedfor parking illegally and some resi-dents complained about the noiselevels.
But the city reported that – otherthan a woman going into labourduring the concert – the event was
successful and went smoothly.Louw Visagie, one of the stadium
managers from the city said: “Thenoise levels were more or less thesame as during the World Cup andthe traffic went quite well.”
Bob Goebel, chairperson of theGreen Point Ratepayers’ and Resi-dents’ Association, admitted thatsome residents got traffic fines be-cause they may not have beenaware of the permit system.
“No there wasn’t (enough aware-ness) and we must do somethingabout it.”
Goebel said residents who movedinto the area after the World Cupmaynothaveknown that theyneed-ed parking discs.
Four residents hadcalled Goebel by yes-terday morning(Monday) to com-plain about the park-ing fines they had re-ceived.
“The parking situ-ation was terrible.What could we ex-pect? It was the U2concert. It is a veryserious situation butwe know that thecouncil is tryingtheir best,” saidGoebel, who also hadto circle the blockfive times before find-ing parking.
“I was baffled be-cause I couldn’t find space for myown car,” he said.
The parking disc system was metwith delight by residents’ associa-tions when it was approved just be-fore the World Cup in June lastyear.
Those who do not have discs can
place a council utility bill insidetheir cars for traffic officers to see.
Smith said: “We have to realisethat if four people complained outof an area which has 8 000 proper-ties then we did quite well.”
Some people used their friends’parking discs to park in GreenPoint, said Smith.
“I cannot understand the desireto park in Green Point on eventdays. It will be the same distance towalk if you use public transport.”
Locals were also frustrated by the“high noise levels” from the stadi-um during the concert.
Goebel said he has had a numberof calls about the noise but resi-dents realise that they have to com-promise if they want the stadiumfull.
“We enjoyed the concert from ourbedroomsandbalconiesbut there isnothing we can do about the noise.Look, we need the stadium full.
“It is the only way to keep oursuburb neat and tidy. If it is not full
we will be loaded with exorbitantrates and taxes,” he said.
In contrast, Mouille Point Rate-payers’ and Residents’ Associationchairperson Jane Meyer, said shehas had no complaints about park-ing or excessive noise levels fromresidents.
“I think residents generally usepublic transport on event days. Itried to listen to the concert frommy balcony in Sea Point and I couldhear nothing,” she said.
After the concert Smith moni-tored the traffic flow in the area onhis motorcycle.
“It took a long time for the carsto clear afterwards, but what couldwe expect? It was 72 000 people,” hesaid.
Smith will meet with residents’associations to issue the new park-ing discs which will be valid for ayear from July 2011. It has a metal-lic element, cannot be photocopiedand will cost R85 per year.
Parking discs are available from
ratepayers’ associations.Smith said he had to install tech-
nical noise tests following mixedfeedback from residents aboutnoise levels after the Mother CityQueer Project which was held at thestadium on Saturday 18 December.
Some residents said the noise wasunbearable while others said theycould “barely hear a whisper”.
Kylie Hatton, Media Manager:City of Cape Town, said: “A total of145 traffic officers issued 69 fines inthe Green Point and Sea Point area– 30 by Metro Police and 39 by theprovincial traffic department.
“Only three cars were towedaway in the area as these were ob-structing roadways.”
Hatton said residentswhowish toappeal their fines should go to courtwhere the decision will be made onwhether or not to reduce the fines.
Sea Point police spokespersonWarrant Officer Bheki Xulu saidthere were no crime incidents re-ported during the concert.

A MOUILLE POINT man and hischild’s nanny, who were trying to re-port a robbery, were turned awaythree times from Sea Point police sta-tion.
The man, who asked to remain anony-mous, says they were finally helped – ontheir fourth attempt.
His complaint was added, on request ofWard councillor, Alderman JP Smith, tothe agenda at a weekly meeting held yes-terday (Monday) of the Sea Point Police,Sea Point Community Policing Forum(CPF) and other security stakeholders.
Smith could not attend the meeting be-cause he had other commitments.
The CPF said they had no knowledge ofthe incident, but Smith said he had inves-tigated the matter and could confirm thatthe man had been turned away threetimes before a statement was taken.
The man was trying to report the mug-ging of his child’s nanny who, while walk-ing with the 15-month-old baby, was ap-proached by a well-dressed man pretend-ing to know her.
The man struck up a conversation,robbed her of a ring and casually walkedback to his car before driving off.
Although the woman shouted at him togive back her ring and threatened to callthe police, nobody responded becausethey thought it was a lovers’ quarrel.
The nanny immediately called 10111from a public payphone but says she wastold by the operator “well I am not there,so what can I do about it”.
“Prior to finally reporting the crime tothe SAPS on Thursday 10 February, I hadtried to report it three times; every timebeing given reasons why I couldn’t, someof which were incorrect. Admittedly, Idid receive friendly service with a smile,but ultimately, we are not in a restau-rant,” he said.
The robbery occurred at the park nearthe lighthouse in Mouille Point on Mon-day 31 January at 15:10. (“Smooth opera-tor hits on nanny”, People’s Post, Wednes-day 8 February). In the article, Smith ad-monished the resident for not reportingthe crime immediately.
Smith said: “When I initially receivedthe complaint I immediately called the
police, the Green Point Sector PolicingForum, and the urban park security. No-body knew about the incident.”
However, further investigation provedthat the man had indeed made four visitsto the police station before he got help,said Smith.
He had also thought that the muggingoccurred at the Urban Park and was notaware that it was the “adventure play-ground which is part of the Pavilion”.
“This changes things. I thought it couldnothavehappenedat theparkbecausewehave so many security guards there. I willimmediately pick up with the law en-forcement at that park.”
Heather Tager, chairperson of the SeaPoint CPF said the issue was raised at themeeting but because they knew nothingof it, they could not respond.
“I have no details about the incident. Inorder for us to investigate the man has tocome forward. I do not have a casenumber and the case was not made in hisname. I also need the victim to tell mewhich payphone she called 10111 from.”
The man said he was turned away andtold to come back with the nanny on hisfirst attempt to report the crime, onThursday 3 February.
He returned the following Monday, 7February, with the nanny but was toldthat she needed an identity book to makea statement. The man returned the nextday (Tuesday 8 February) with the nannyand her ID and was stonewalled onceagain when he was told that he could notmake a statement without speaking to theinvestigating officer first – who was notavailable. The man left a business cardand message for the investigating officerto call him back. After receiving no phonecalls from the investigating officer, he re-turned to the police station on Thursday10 February and eventually spoke to theinvestigating officer.
He could not believe his ears when theinvestigating officer told him that he hadto make a statement first. Tager said shecould only comment on the first incident.
“I can understand why he was turnedaway the first time. Only the victim canreport a crime and not someone else onbehalf of them,” she said.
Sea Point police spokesperson WarrantOfficer Beheki Xulu, had not respondedby the time of going to print.

Fight for farm and foster childrenVERNA VAN DIEMEN
A CITY MAN who has beenlooking after children and
animals on a farm he leases islocking horns with the Depart-ments of Public Works.
This department wants AndréLaubscher, of Erf 81 in Tamboers-kloof, off the land, claiming he iskeeping animals illegally.
In addition, Laubscher fearsthat he could lose the children hecares for after pressure from theDepartment of Social Develop-ment, which earlier ordered himto not keep minors on the farm.
However, in an unexpected turnof events, Social Development haschanged its directive – following asurprise visit to the farm by a se-nior staff member from their de-partment.
David McNamara, chief direc-tor of the Provincial Departmentof SocialDevelopment, said: “I hadto have a look at the situation formyself.”
He said that while the farmcould be “cleaned up a bit”, hefound that the children were wellcared for and attending school.
He also said that three under-aged children at the farm is “nota large number”.
“It is very much a rural environ-ment in an urban setting. Laub-scher’s ex-girlfriend is very sensi-ble and she looks after the chil-dren.”
Laubscher’s battle with PublicWorks, however, continues.Heap-peared in court on Thursday 3 Fe-bruary to fight an eviction fromErf 81. The case was postponed.
The farm is an endowment pro-perty belonging to the NationalDepartment of Defence and is ad-ministered by Public Works,which is in the process of evictingLaubscher and two other familieswho live on the farm.
They say the animals are kept il-legally and that conditions on thefarm are a health hazard.
Department of Public Works re-gional manager, Frederick John-son, said: “He is keeping animalson the property in contraventionof municipal bylaws and the gen-eral conditions prevailing on theproperty constitute a publichealth hazard.”
Laubscher says Public Workswill argue that they had cancelledthe lease.
“I think I was stubborn at onepoint many years ago by refusingto pay the rent for some or otherreason and they may have can-celled the lease then. I don’t know.But I have paid it every monthsince,” he said.
He believes their motive is theprime land that he is occupying.
Laubscher has 10 children in hiscare, of which three are his biolog-ically, a granddaughter and six “il-legal” foster children, three ofwhom are under 18.
He said the mother of two of theminor children often sleeps overon the farm, while the third minorchild is at boarding school.
Laubscher wants to turn theland into a “foster farm”, which hedefines as any piece of open landin the city with animals, and a safehaven for children in need or indanger.
The five-year battle with PublicWorks has, however, hindered hisattempts to have the farm regis-tered as a foster home.
“I cannot get the place regis-tered because I do not have a prop-er lease. A five-year lease shoulddo the trick,” he said.
Now even more than ever, he isholdingonto the erf andhis “fosterfarm” dream for dear life, sayingthe animals have changed somany children’s lives.
The idea for a foster farmdawned on him many years ago
when a bruised and bat-tered two-year-old girl,who had been placed atthe farm, refused to in-teract with people butinstead bonded with an
animal on his farm.The Afrikaanse Christelike
Vroue Vereeniging (ACVV), oneof the oldest social welfare organi-sations in South Africa, had takenthe child to the farm.
“The child’s parents used to beather with sticks. She was angry butshe bonded with a puppy, whichshe cradled for days. She slowlystarted coming out of her shell.”
Johan Gouws, social auxiliaryworker for the ACVV, said theyregularly sent children to thefarm, which was registered as asafe home with the organisationfor seven years.
Gouws said: “We would mostdefinitely place children at thefarm again if we could. It is closeto town and fantastic for the chil-dren.
“We could press André’s buttonany time. It’s wonderful how beingwith animals helps the childrenforget about their trauma. He iswonderful with children; he teach-es them art and he can speak somany African languages.”
The ACVV stopped sending chil-dren to the farm six years agowhen they found out that Laub-scher and his wife had divorced.
But Laubscher revealed to Peo-ple’s Post that he and his ex-girl-friend had never been married.
“We have been together for 17years. She has a very dark tan andso in the beginning we couldn’t getmarried.”
The pair could not settle on get-ting married and eventually didnot. They have been apart for al-most 10 years but still live on thefarm in separate houses.
When asked how the depart-ment had allowed the ACVV toplace children at the farm if theyknew that Laubscher was unmar-ried, Otter said: “ACVV, as ourpartner in this case, would onlyhave placed children there if theyfelt it was safe and hygienic.”
The People’s Post asked the De-partment of Public Works wheth-er they had indeed cancelled Laub-scher’s lease but they had not re-sponded by the time of going toprint.

A blooming shameTHE South African National Biodiversity In-stitute’s (SANBI’s) Kirstenbosch-SA ChelseaExhibit at the annual Chelsea Flower Showin London has been cancelled due to a lackof sponsorship.
The exhibit has been shown at the prestig-ious event – which attracts more than 170 000people over five days – for 35 years.
Two years ago the exhibit lost its corporatesponsor and fundraising events were held atthe Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to fundthe expo. This is no longer possible.
The Kirstenbosch-SA Chelsea Exhibit haswon 30 gold medals, two silver-gilt medalsand three Silver medals over the years.
Designers David Davidson and Ray Hud-son, who have designed the exhibit 17 times,
have consistently explored aspects of SouthAfrica’s floristic beauty and presented inno-vative interpretations of our natural herit-age. “This is a great disappointment in thelead-up period to what would have been aonce-in-a-lifetime double centenary event in2013, when Kirstenbosch National BotanicalGarden and the Chelsea Flower Show – bothestablished in 1913 – will celebrate their 100thanniversaries,” Davidson says.
The exhibit also tours across the countryfor others to view its greatness.
“Our Chelsea exhibit is a tried and trustedformula – it works well, wins big year afteryear and affords sponsors and partners ex-ceptional marketing opportunities,” a pressrelease says.
Any interested potential partners andsponsors are encouraged to call Sarah Struys(021) 799-8775 or email [email protected].
Mountain safetymeetings ‘fruitful’GERDA VON BENECKE
AFTER several weeks ofmountain users and au-thorities raising concernsabout safety around TableMountain, a “most fruit-ful” meeting was held lastweek.
According to CommunitySafety MEC Albert Fritz’sspokesperson, Melany Kühn,a decision was taken at themeeting on Thursday 17 Feb-ruary for a steering commit-tee to be formed to monitorthe situation and make rec-ommendations where need-ed. Kühn says the steeringcommittee will represent allthe roleplayers, includingSANParks, police, The CapeTown Partnership, Econom-ic Development and TourismMEC Alan Winde, the City ofCape Town, the Pedal PowerAssociation and the Moun-tain Club of SA.
According to SANParks re-gional spokesperson MerleCollins, the meeting was “ex-tremely positive” and role-
players present agreed towork together to combatcrime on the mountain.
Collins says TMNP wel-comed the initiative and isextremely pleased at the pos-sibility of obtaining fundingto expand its dog unit, whichhas proven “most effective incombating crime”. Accord-ing to Collins, this was onlythe first meeting and a fol-low-up operations meetingwill be held to “thrash out op-erational logistics”.
The MEC, says Kühn, alsoengaged yesterday with oth-er interested persons in apublic platform meeting,where those with additionalsuggestions and concerns,who were not represented atlast week’s meeting, were ac-commodated.
“It is overwhelming andencouraging that Capeto-nians all over are demon-strating this eagerness to getinvolved and contribute toincreasing safety for all. Thismakes the process so mucheasier,” says Kühn.
According to Kühn this
“whole of society” approachto targeting crime does nottake the responsibility awayfrom the TMNP or police, butis rather complementingwhat authorities are doing soas to maximise available re-sources.
Kühn says several sugges-tions for enhancing safetyaround the mountain arecurrently being evaluatedand considered for imple-mentation.
According to André vanSchalkwyk, spokespersonfor the Table Mountain Safe-ty Action Group (TMSAG),they are “cautiously optimis-tic” about the meeting. VanSchalkwyk says they espe-cially welcome the fact that asteering committee will beformed. However, says VanSchalkwyk, what they do notwant is a “whole lot of talk”,insisting that implementa-tion is key. “What we want istwo things – information andthat authorities take respon-sibility for implementing so-lutions,” says Van Schalk-wyk.

Fresh reason to visitSt George’s MallST GEORGE’S MALL was buzzing morethan usual last week when a new open-air fresh food market was launched atthe upper end of the mall.
The Earth Fair Food Market was set upoutside Mandela Rhodes Place and saw 24stalls selling a lip-smacking array of freshfood from local producers.
This weekly market will be held everyThursday from 12:30 to 18:30 and will offerinner city residents, workers and visitorsnourishing fresh food and produce includ-ing sushi, kebabs,, smoked fish, specialitysausages, homemade pies, farm cheeses,fruit and vegetables, biltong, pâtés, organicnuts and grains and breads.
The driving forces behind the initiativeare the Cape Town Partnership, Central CityImprovement District, Cape Town Tourismand the Upper St George’s Mall Forum com-prising a number of retailers and otherstakeholders in the area.
Their objective is to attract people to thecentral city by offer-ing them a safe,clean and bustlingarea.
Aoife Gormleyfrom the St George’sMall Forum said:“Wewant to change theperception thatCapeTown is a place where people only come towork. We want people to do things in town,like their shopping and spending time withtheir families.”
Gormley is the daughter of Irishman,Frank Gormley, investor in and partner inthe Mandela Rhodes Place and Taj Hotel,who featured in People’s Post (“Cape Towncaptures Irishman’s heart”, Tuesday 15 Feb-ruary).
Jacqui Simpson, owner of the Earth FairFood Market said: “Many cities have iconic,
fresh-food markets – like the Borough Mar-ket in London and the Dublin Food Coop Or-ganic Food Market.
“Now it is Cape Town’s turn. In manyways it’s a return to our roots. The Compa-ny’s Garden originally provided fresh fruitand vegetables to passing ships and Green-market Square was somewhere farmerscould sell their produce. That’s why upperSt George’s Mall in the historic heart of CapeTown is ideal.”
The market is based on the successful Sat-urday Earth Fair Food Market in Tokai,which has been extended to Wednesday af-ternoons.
Andrew Boraine, chief executive of theCape Town Partnership, said the marketwas a welcome addition to the Cape TownCentral City.
“We’ve learnt over the years that regularactivities in public spaces are good for thecity. The Earth Fair Food Market will pro-vide yet another reason for people to congre-gate and enjoy the Central City at lunchtime
and after work.”Cape Town Tour-
ism CEO, Mariettedu Toit-Helmbold,said the market willgive both touristsand locals an added
incentive to visit the city centre.“We’re especially encouraged by the mar-
ket’s focus on responsible and sustainablefood enterprises and fine-food purveyors.“Cape Town’s abundance of fresh produce isthebackboneof ouruniquegourmet culture.The location of the Earth Fair Food Marketlinks the cultural sites of the Company’sGarden, St George’s Cathedral and the SlaveLodge, offering visitors and locals the oppor-tunity to linger in one of the most historical-ly significant parts of the city.” For furtherdetails visit www.earthfairmarket.co.za.

Gareth Smit and Leah Nassonhave both completed the course andshared their experiences with Peo-ple’s Post.
“The idea is to bring young peo-ple together through education, forpeace and a sustainable future,”says Smit, adding that at each col-lege there will be about 200 stu-dents, from about 80 countries.
The language of instruction isEnglish, but everyone copes some-how.
“Remember that guy from Mon-golia? For a year and a half not aword came out of his mouth,” theylaugh.
Nasson attended a college in asmall Italian town called Duino, onthe Adriatic sea. Some of the resi-dences are in a converted castle,which she says was “not like aboarding school at all”. The college
offers freedom and a strong focus onmusic.
And, um, Italian guys?“I did find myself an Italian boy-
friend …Lorenzo. I remember see-ing him in the piazza, playing gui-tar,” she says.
“He brought me lavender that hestole from the headmaster’s gar-den.”
But there’s more to the coursethan romance and pizza.
“It is a quite intensive, demand-
ing course; time management iskey,” saysSmit, adding thenon-aca-demic activities are also importantparts of the curriculum.
He graduated from the college inLas Vegas, New Mexico, in 2009.(Not to be confused with the otherLas Vegas in Nevada.)
Smit says here he got to experi-ence the “non-mainstream” Ameri-ca.
A photographer, Smit developedhis skills while at the college. Hesays the experience is somethingthat is with you forever and you re-main interconnected through ahuge network of amazing people.
“My friends call it the cult,” jokesNasson.
But they say it gives a face to glo-bal issues such as the uprising inEgypt.

New board strikes a chordTAURIQ HASSEN
A NEW board established last yearto promote early Afrikaans and
Nederlands music, is breathing newlife into Cape Malay singing.
The Cape Male Choir Board, which isintegrated with the Keep The Dream Ma-lay Choir Forum, will be hosting a compe-tition with nine troupes taking part in twosections.
The forum was established last year, toaddress the dwindling number of troupesand the remaining cash-strapped ones.
Ebrahim Hull, president for the board,explained that the main aim of the boardwas “to preserve, protect, develop andpromote the singing of early Afrikaans(Kaaps) and Nederlands songs”.
“The Malay choirs’ potential is big inthe Western Cape and in Cape Town andits Muslim community and with the prop-er exposure, it can even become nation-al,” says Hull.
Hull said many troupes struggled to fi-nancially support their “cultural sport”.
The Keep The Dream Malay Choir Fo-rumwasestablishedbyagroupof dedicat-ed choir members from various groups toassist “struggling Malay choir groups”.
“In some cases clubs lose out and all ofthis affects our cultural singing pro-gramme, because most clubs only stabi-lise and get their final choral groups to-gether to practise and put every effort intothe competitions after the New Year,”says Hull.
Fareed Anthony, a former member ofthe Shoprite Jonge Studente, was delight-
ed to see new competitions and boards be-ing established.
“In the Muslim community, this is ourWorld Cup and our beloved sport, so to seeit growing with new teams entering everytime, is extremely exciting,” says Antho-ny.
“Maybe one day we will compete at theCape Town Stadium, who knows,” hejoked.
The songs sung fall into four categories– traditional wedding songs, Dutch folk-songs of various kinds, moppies (comicsongs) and ghoemaliedjies (picnic songs).
The instruments generallyusedare gui-tars,mandolin, banjo, cellowithoccasion-al violins and double bass and the ghoema(small Malay drum) for the picnic songs.The folk song is an important feature ofthe Cape Malay community, and can beheard on many social occasions, especial-ly at weddings, where traditional lovesongs are sung.
Making their much-anticipated debuton the big stage, The Heritage Cup compe-titions will take place at the Athlone CivicCentre on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 Feb-ruary, respectively.
Section One, consisting of Proteas Sing-koor, Hamediehs Sports Club, Ken-FacCommunity Club and Silver Sounds Sing-koor. Section Two has Hollywood Singk-oor, Jordon Sports Club, Fabulous Play-boys, Rising Stars and Young Broadways.
The show costs R35 for adults, childrenbetween four and 14 pay R20 and pension-ers can purchase their tickets at the doorfor R25.

. Mr Refugee friend, can you ask the SAgovernment where they put the money thatbelongs to the refugee from the HCR? As aCongolese, my country is a member of theHCR and the UN pays a contribution as well.Where is that money going? The SA govern-ment uses our money to develop SA. A refu-gee is supposed to have a free house, foodand a salary. The refugee works and takescare of their children no matter how manythereare.Oneof theparents of theAmericanPresident Obama is a refugee from Kenya.The SA government will never get tired ofrefugees because they know they will losebillions.

General. How do we know it is election time again
in the Western Cape? When the ANC startshanding keys to non-existent houses in Dis-trict Six. Are people not tired of being used
all the time? Teresa. Come on Metrorail! Trains are still be-
ing cancelled or running late. People areputting their lives at risk by standing or sit-ting on the links between coaches. Truckdrivers and a shortage of petrol is going tomake it worse.
. Regarding mountain crime. TheTMSAGthreatens tohire lawyers todemandsomething that is not there due to lack of re-sources. Surely it would be more civil andhelpful to rather contribute towards the ex-tra resources needed?
. Does anyone know of a doll hospital? Ihave three 1930 dolls I wish to donate to amuseum. Call Linda on (021) 439-1761.

How to reduce traffic accidentsCERTAIN organisations are promoting thedriving of motor vehicles with headlightsturned on during daylight.
As dubious as it may sound, they claimthat research has shown that this peculiarconduct reduces accidents.
Iwonderwhether anypersonwhocannotsee traffic in broad daylight without head-lights is fit to drive.
Be that as it may, I have discovered otherstudies which aim to reduce traffic acci-dents.
The first such study has found that veryfew accidents occur when vehicles are driv-en slower than 30 km/h. It therefore pro-posed a new national speed limit of 25 km/hon all roads (the extra reduction of 5 km/his just to be extra safe).
The next study found that exceedinglyfew accidents occur while all the vehiclesinvolved are blowing their hooters.
It should therefore be quite obvious thatnew law be promulgated to compel motor-ists to blow their hooters at all times on a
public road.The final study I found is a true work of
genius. It aimed at finding a solution to allroad accidents – in fact, an unbelievable so-lution for zero road accidents!
In this paradigm it was found that no ac-cidents ever occurred between motor vehi-cles that had only three wheels. Strange,but nevertheless true.
Therefore the study proposed that all mo-tor vehicles have compulsory removal ofone of their wheels (which wheel exactlycan be optional) and we will enter a newera of road safety. QED.
PS. The above studies were conducted byProf UR Crazynski of the University of Up-per Slovakia, as part of his doctoral thesis.
PPS. I, for one, believe road accidents arecaused by reckless driving and inconsider-ate road use. If we all valued the safety ofothers as much as we value our own, THATmight make a difference.CONCERNED MOTORISTTokai
Tarred with the same brushON Saturday 12 February, we, a raciallymixed group ranging from 15 to 45 years,tackled Lion’s Head for the first time. Beingaware of mountain crime, including the rob-bery of a tourist in the area a week before,we left our valuables in the car. It was a mostenjoyable hiking trip on the way up turnedsour when the teenage boys in the group, allfrom Khayelitsha, separated in order to de-scend at a faster pace than the rest. Walkingdown the winding path far ahead of the oth-ers, they were met with suspicion and fear– some of the hikers they encountered
moved to the very outer edge of the path, oth-ers froze their conversations mid-sentencewhen they had to pass the boys. What shouldhave been a pleasurable experience of CapeTown was suddenly marred by those obvi-ous gestures of mistrust. We all know thatmountain muggers come from impover-ished communities, but not every aspiringhiker not wearing up-market hiking shoesis a criminal-in-training. The culprits havedone greater damage than we imagined.MARCO SCHMITTCape Town

Deadly tracksA COMMUNITY is in mourning after the deathlast Thursday of two toddlers knocked downby a train close to their home.
Still just babies, the lifeless little bodies ofbrothers Salie (2) and Faiek (3) were found bytheir young mother Faieka Smith along therailway tracks between Nyanga and Heideveldstations. The devastated parent says she wascooking supper in the family’s Manenbergkitchen while her two boys were happily play-ing within earshot – until they found a way outof the property and wandered off towards therailway tracks.
In their carefree, adventure-filled world, theinnocent pair could not distinguish betweendanger and safety.
The children were Faieka’s whole life. Nowall that awaits her in her modest home, oncefilled with her children’s laughter, are silenceand sadness.
If the young mother could have turned backthe clock, what would she have done different-ly? Would she have insisted that her precioussons play inside, ensured that the gate betweenher house and the street was fully secure, notchosenahouse that close to the railway tracks?
No parent would deliberately endanger theirchildren’s lives, yet the foremost questionasked when news of the toddlers’ death broke,was: “Where was the mother?”
This raises the issue of responsibility, whichin this instance should be ashamedly sharedby the toddlers’ guardians, an apathetic com-munity, vandals from the same communitywho make holes in fences for easy access totheir homes and destructive thieves who steallife-saving fencing.
Should the onus not rest on Metrorail’sshoulders as well? Despite vandalism and theftcosting the rail operator millions of rands eachyear, they cannot neglect to repair and main-tain fencing that is crucial in safeguarding thelives of the people living in the areas theirtrains plough through.
No amount of remorse or hindsight canbring back the two little boys, but a lot can bedone to prevent further loss of life on danger-ous railway tracks.
THE government is proposing amend-ments to the Employment Equity Act tolegislate that affirmative action shouldfocus on national and not provincial de-mographics. The proposal is being criti-
cised for not taking the realities of popu-lation dispersions into account and al-most calling for a re-engineering ofpeople’s settlement patterns.
The cartoon shows the proportionate
breakdown of the Western Cape’s eco-nomically active population (EAP)scratched out and replaced with the popu-lation percentages of the national eco-nomically active population.

HealingbrokenheartsThe Children’s Hospital Trust has
proven to be “all heart” as the fund-raising arm of the Red Cross War Memo-rial Children’s Hospital celebrated its17th birthday on Valentine’s Day, Mon-day 14 February.
The Trust shared its birthday celebrationwith patients in the E1 Specialist MedicalWard, which treats patients primarily withcardiac and breathing complications.
Ward E1 was upgraded and re-opened inJune 2006 and the Trust has had many moreachievements since its inception in 1994.
Patients who shared in the Trust’s birth-day party enjoyed delicious cake, donated byCharly’s Bakery and also received a scrump-tious gingerbread man.
The successful public-private partnershipbetween the Provincial Government of theWestern Cape and the Hospital means thatgovernment continues to make considerablecontributions to building programmes atthe Hospital, often matching the Trust randfor rand. The Trust’s current project is toraise an estimated R12 million for the up-grade of the Medical Ward B1, which treatsgeneral medical patients, infectious pa-tients, and patients with chronic illnesses.
For more information visit www.child-renshospitaltrust.org.za or contact (021) 686-7860.

Gallant Grant back for openerGallant Grant back for openerTASMIN CUPIDO
IT’S game time at DHL New-lands on Saturday, when theDHL Stormers take on the Lionsin their opening match of the 21-week Vodacom Super Rugbycompetition.
And with the addition of experi-enced flyhalf, Peter Grant, to the35-man Stormers squad, headcoach Allister Coetzee and the restof the coaching team must bebreathing a sigh of relief.
In the Stormers’ warm-upmatches leading up to the kick-offof their Super Rugby campaign,they experimented with young-sters Gary van Aswegen, LionelCronjé and Elgar Watts. While VanAswegen impressed in the first twomatches against the Maties andIkeys, he displayed less than aver-age performances in the Neo Afri-ca Tri-series.
Cronjé mostly strut his stuff inthe number 15 jersey, while Wattswas good on defence and attack,but lacked the ability to securepoints with the boot.
Grant has been contracted withJapanese club Kobe Kobelco Steel-ers since October 2009, missing outon the last Super 14 tournamentlast year as well as the 2010 Currie
Cup.He was due to return to the
Stormers squad in three weeks on-ly, but the Steelers were knockedout of the semi-finals of the Japa-nese club competition the pastweekend. It is still not clear whenhe will return to training at theWestern Province Rugby Union’sHigh Performance Centre in Bel-lville.
And Coetzee has made it clearthat Grant is part of his plans forthe match against the Lions, whostaged a gutsy second half fight-back, but lost 20-24, in their openerat the home against the VodacomBulls the past weekend. “Bash maybe part of the 22-man squad evenif he only returns from Japan onTuesday (today),” Coetzee says.
“I have no doubt that his fitnesslevels are good and that he ismatch ready. He is such a dedicat-ed player and will, without a doubtgive his all should he be selected.”
The men in blue will also be wea-ry of the Lions’ fighting spirit forthe entire 80 minutes. Their desireto win was apparent against theBulls, and this could’ve beenachieved had flyhalf Elton Jantjiesslotted vital penalties and conver-sions.
The likes of winger Michael Kil-lian and centre Waylon Murray
were impressive, and the Stormerswould be doing themselves a fa-vour if they kept their eyes on thetwo speedsters.
The Super Rugby tournamenthas an entirely new format, withthe five teams from each country,South Africa, New Zealand andAustralia, forming a conferenceleague, with each team playing ahome and away match against thefour other teams.
Each team will play four match-es overseas and four on home soil.This will bring the tally of round-robin matches to 16 for each team– four abroad and 12 in their homecountry.
Six teams will play for a semi-fi-nal spot – the three teams endingat the top of the conference logsand the three teams – regardless ofthe conference – with the most logpoints.
The two teams with the most logpoints will automatically qualifyfor a home semi-final and be on abye the firstweekof the three-weeklong play-offs , while the other fourteams will then battle it out.
The semi-finals and the finalswill follow the same format, withthe home final being awarded tothe team with the highest numberof points at the end of the confer-ence leagues.
Twist in astro turf tiffBRIAN GAFFNEY
WHEN it comes to the allocation ofastroturfs, the grass will not be anygreener at Grassy Park in the fore-seeable future.
But the Greater Wynberg LFA– which has its headquarters at theRooikrans Avenue Sports Complexin Grassy Park – has vowed to“fight on relentlessly for the astro-turf it was denied in 2009.
The Lotto funding for astroturfsin rural and township areas formedpart of the 2010 World Cup LegacyProject programme.
“An injustice has been commit-ted and we depend on the Promo-tion of Administrative Justice Act(PAJA) to correct the wrong. We in-tend to fight for fair play for ourchildren and our community untiljustice is done,” said Faiek Cas-siem, the president of Greater Wyn-berg.
The not-so-good news regarding
the astroturf for Greater Wynbergis a sequel to an ongoing war ofwords between the association andSA Football Association (Safa)Cape Town.
The latest twist to the row is thatSafa president, Kirsten Nematan-dani, and Minister of Sport, Simphi-we Mncube, have been drawn intothe fray following correspondenceon the matter from Greater Wyn-berg to Mncube’s office.
Nematandani subsequently dis-closed that Safa endorses Safa CapeTown’s stand. He also advised Mn-cube that Safa Cape Town is the“highest decision making body” inthe Cape Metropole.
According to Safa correspond-ence sent via Safa Cape Town to allthe local Safa Cape Town-affiliatedassociations, there were “norecords showing any process wasfollowed that resulted in the firstturf allocation to Grassy Park(Greater Wynberg)” in April 2009.
Safa also had no objection to SafaCape Town – with president Nor-man Arendse at the helm – settingaside a decision on the Grassy Parkastroturf project.
A fresh process that followed re-sulted in Grassy Park (GreaterWynberg) not qualifying for theproject. A task team appointed bySafa Cape Town then allocated theastroturf to the Helderberg FA atLwandle.
The Greater Wynberg LFA wasone of the first successful appli-cants for the international standardastroturf – courtesy ofR3 million infunding from the Lotto Board.
The board disclosed at the timethat 27 astroturfs would be laidacross South Africa within threeyears at a cost of R81 million – andthat Greater Wynberg was to be oneof the first nine associations to ben-efit from the funding.
But the association’s enthusiasmto become the first affiliate of the
Safa Cape Town to receive an astro-turf was dampened when Safa CapeTown questioned the proceduresthatGreaterWynberghad followed.
This resulted in the relocation ofthe astroturf to Lwandle, which Sa-fa Cape Town task team regarded asbeing more in need of such aproject.
Cassiem is, however, adamantthat the Greater Wynberg LFA –which draws its membership fromGrassy Park, Phumlani, Retreat,Lavender Hill, Steenberg and Vry-grond – is being unfairly treated.
“Where is the Fifa Fair Play poli-cy now?” asked Cassiem.
Cassiem believes his associationdeserves an astroturf on thegrounds that it too is a home forfootballers from several needy are-as.
He also rejected the claim by Nor-man Arendse (Safa Cape Town pres-ident) that his association had not“followed the correct procedure” inapplying for an astroturf in 2009.
“Mr Arendse has never been toour LFA to watch our players atmatches in Grassy Park, Retreat
and Vrygrond,” claimed Cassiem.Cassiem, in correspondence from
Greater Wynberg, declined to com-ment further on the matter, sayingit was “sub judice” as the associa-tion had filed an objection in termsof the Promotion of AdministrativeJustice Act.
