The influential and respected Conde Nast Traveller Magazine re- leased the list of readers’ top ho- tels on their website on Monday last week. According to the Constantia Property Owners’ Association (CPOA), the hotel nearly closed down for “financial reasons.” The owner of the property, the late Graham Beck, submitted a re- zoning application to subdivide the Estate, but it was turned down by the Built Environment and Cultural Landscape Permit Com- mittee. People’s Post reported (“Long wait before Steenberg Hotel knows its fate” 19 October) of the owner’s hopes to turn six of the seven hotel buildings on the prop- erty into residential dwellings worth millions. But a proud general manager, Gaby Gramm, says it was only ev- er Beck’s intention to “keep his options open.” Just a few months later the ho- tel received one of the most covet- ed forms of recognition in the hos- pitality industry. Of greater significance, howev- er, is what the recognition would mean for Constantia Valley. “This is the first time we have featured in the Top 100. We were 42nd on the list,” says Gramm. She suspected something was afoot because they received a few phone calls from the magazine to confirm some facts. “I was very excited when I saw we were the highest placed hotel in Africa. We have been aiming for such an international award for a while now.” She also admits that it will stand them in good stead during the on-going reces- sion. “This particular award gives you business, because it means the American market is looking after you. They are not season-bound and travel all year round.” According to Gramm, Ameri- can tourists have become more aware of South Africa, and fewer people ask her about “lions in the streets.” She insists, however, that tour- ists from the United Kingdom are still in the majority. When asked what makes South Africa, and the Constantia Valley, so special, she said “Well, Con- stantia is right in the centre of the Peninsula, which makes it easier to explore. The winery here is also a drawcard, mainly because it hasn’t been commercialised. As for South Africa, I’m from Germa- ny and can choose to live almost anywhere, but I want to be here. The more you travel, the more you come to love the variety, uniqueness, and the friendliness of South Africa.” Gramm says this is especially important in the hospitality in- dustry. South Africans are very open and friendly, so apart from the natural beauty, the people are also fantastic.” Jooles Pienaar, General Manag- er of the Constantia Valley Associ- ation, says that an accolade such as this is “without a doubt one of the best marketing tools to which a small region such as the Con- stantia Valley can attach itself.” She continues “Although we are all going about our business on a daily basis, there is definitely a sense of excitement when one of our ‘own’ succeeds in such a man- ner. The reality, of course, is that when an establishment wins a number one spot, people sit up, take notice and they make their bookings. Those same people will venture out to see what else is on offer. For Constantia Valley it means more visitors to the Wine Farms, restaurants and shops.” Manager of CPOA, Alan Dolby, says he is delighted that the hotel received this accolade. “Steenberg is the oldest wine farm in South Africa, and now the hotel is also renowned.” Being a sport The football- mad Booth family had a great time at the Cape Town International Kite Festival.

All high schools in the city which would like to participate in the JCC are herebyinvited to contact the Acting Co-Ordinator, Charmaine van Reenen, on or before11 November 2011 at tel: 021 400 1480; fax: 021 400 1465or e-mail: [email protected]
ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER
PSA signs up 20new membersPROUDLY South African recentlysigned up 20 new members, whichshows that South African companiesare gearing up for the amended gov-ernment procurement regulationsthat come into effect on Wednesday7 December.
Renewed interest in the campaign indi-cates that companies want to align them-selves with other Proudly South Africancompanies and become part of the Buy Lo-cal to Create Jobs campaign.
Globally and locally companies are feel-ing the effects of the recent financial melt-down, leading to job losses. More andmore companies are seeking to alignthemselves with job creation initiativesthat could stimulate the economy.
The amended government procure-ment regulations aim to ensure that gov-ernment departments procure locallymanufactured products and services tostimulate job creation in South Africa.
Leslie Sedibe, new Proudly South Afri-can Chief Executive Officer, says “Weknow that every cent spent in South Afri-ca on South African made products andservices impacts on jobs locally.
“We cannot avoid the serious impactthe global recession has had on South Af-rica and we are still not out of the woods.Economists predict that this recessioncould continue well into and beyond 2012.Usually recessions are a way of makingcountries and companies rethink theirbusiness strategies, methods and practic-es. It calls for deeper introspection and re-flection on how to do things better.
“In our current macro and micro eco-nomic landscape, the green economyseems to present a good option. It will al-low countries and companies to move outof a highly industrial, technological erainto a more socially conscious and organ-ic one where sustainability and consist-ent growth can take place. Globally thereis competition for job creation. The focusis on poverty alleviation and responsibili-ty for the environment.
“I take this opportunity to welcomethese new members on board and call onother companies, big and small, to be-come part of the Proudly South Africanmovement and commit to Buy Local toCreate Jobs. Our country and our peopleneed this now more than ever before,”says Sedibe.
From swept floors to chalkboardsTAMMY PETERSEN
FOR YEARS, he ensured that the school wasin tip-top shape, picking up papers andsweeping the long corridors of Kenwyn Pri-mary. But shortly he will be taking his placeat the front of a classroom and do what hehas always dreamt of doing – teaching.
Peter Hendricks (45) recently graduatedwith a degree in teaching from UWC, and isobtaining his basic training certificate(BTC) so that he can pack up his detergentsand hit the blackboard.
But the long journey towards realising hisdream was anything but easy.
“I previously worked in the clothing in-dustry until I was retrenched in 2004,” thefather of two from Hanover Park says. “Dur-ing the two years that I was at home, tryingto find employment, I went to Mountview Highandaskedwhat I coulddo tohelp out. Theprin-cipal asked me to help out, and that’s what Idid.”
That’s when the teaching bug bit, and he en-rolled at UWC to make his dream come true.
“I loved being there. I felt I belonged at thefront of a classroom, enriching young mindsand teaching them things that would mouldthem into responsible adults,” he recalls.
Hendricks stayed for nine months until hegot a contract position at a primary school inStrandfontein as a cleaner. Thereafter hespent a year and seven months taking care ofthe grounds of a school in Ottery.
“Those were tough years, as I was workingduring the day and attending classes at night.Sometimes I would get home as late as 21:30– and still have researchandprojects todo.Butwhenever I felt despondent, my wife and chil-dren would spur me on, always encouragingme and telling me that I have to go for it.”
Money was also tight in the Hendrickshousehold, but despite this, the head of thehousehold put his mind to completing his de-gree and working towards his dream.
“The day I graduated was one of the bestdays of my life. No words would ever be ableto describe how I felt when I heard my daugh-ter shouting, ‘Go Daddy!’ from the crowd. I had
achieved my goal, and that was what mat-tered.”
But the journey was not over for the manborn and raised in an area synonymous withpoverty and unemployment.
“Right now I am still technically a cleanerwhile I do my BTC. Money is still tight, butI know there is something better waiting forme, and I can’t wait for the day that I step intothe class as Mr Hendricks, the class teacher.Even then my journey won’t be over – it willbe the start of a new chapter in my life story.”
Despite having a hectic schedule, he stillmade time to coach the school’s under-9 soccerteam, who so far hold an unbeaten record forthe year.
His popularity with the youngsters is evi-dent – this reporter struggled to get a word inas the children chattered at once, eager toshare some news with him.
Hendricks majored in geography, tourism,English and history, and already knows wherehe plans to teach.
“I love the teachers and children of KenwynPrimary, but Mountview High is where I wantto be. I want to show the people how I grewup, and that you can be whatever you want tobe – even if it’s a tough road to get there.
“I want to give back to my community, topay respect to the things living in HanoverPark taught me. I’m willing – and finally able.”

‘Combined effort’ nets thievesTERESA FISCHER
CLAREMONT Police say quick re-action led to the arrest of five sus-pects and the recovery of stolenitems.
Police were alerted via ADT Securi-ty of a housebreaking in progress inRiviera Street, Newlands, on Wednes-day 19 October at 13:00.
According to Captain Angie Latch-man, Claremont Cluster spokesper-son, on arrival at the scene police offi-cials and ADT security arrested threeunknown men, who were in posses-sion of a flat-screen television, DVDplayer and cellphones that had beentaken from the premises.
The thieves had forced open a doorto gain entry.
Latchman says subsequent investi-gations at the scene established thatthe suspects were waiting for their get-away vehicle, a white hatchback Unothat was parked nearby.
Police immediately followed up onthe information and a further two sus-pects were arrested. She says it was acombined effort.
ADT also released a statement that
the private security company’s “im-promptu operation” netted five sus-pects.
ADT reports that ADT Armed Re-sponse Officer, Jan Matli, was calledout to an alarm activation in RivieraRoad, where he found two male sus-pects on the premises, allegedly withstolen items in their possession.
After Officer Matli’s back-up (ADTOfficers Peter Ngoetjana, Victor Dh-ludhlu, Claude Maree and supervisorDenzil Witbooi) arrived and the Clare-mont Police was notified, the two menwere apprehended.
As they waited, one of the suspectscellphone rang and he admitted to theOfficers that it was his “boss” calling.
Officer Dhludhlu instructed him notto admit that they had been arrested.The boss wanted to know why therewere ADT patrol cars on the scene, butthe suspect told him that they were inhiding with the goods and were wait-ing for ADT to leave before comingout.
Some of the ADT Officers pretendedto leave the scene, but remained withthe suspects.
The second call from their boss in-structed the suspects to hide the goods
and meet him and three accomplicesat a petrol station in Main Road, Clare-mont, where they would be waiting ina white Fiat Uno.
Officer Dhludhlu took the suspect’scellphone and drove to the petrol sta-tion, followed by Officer Maree.
They saw the vehicle in the fore-court.
“The suspects became uneasy andtried to flee the scene, but we blockedtheir exit with our patrol cars,” saysOfficer Dhludhlu.
The men were instructed to get outof the vehicle and were apprehendedimmediately.Claremont Police ar-rived at the station and Officer Dh-ludhlu confirmed the link between thefive men when he pressed the redialbutton on the cellphone he had takenfrom the suspect in Riviera Road, andthe phone rang in the pocket of one ofthe suspects they had just apprehend-ed.
The stolen goods were recoveredand the five men were arrested andtaken to Claremont Police station.
The arrested persons will appear atthe Wynberg Magistrate’s Court onFriday 21 October on charges ofHousebreaking and Theft.
A MEMBER of the ClaremontCluster Crime Intelligence Unit,was en-route from an operation inPhillipi on Tuesday 18 October,when he noticed a suspicious sil-ver VW Golf on the N2, travellingin the direction of Mowbray.
The officer kept the car underclose surveillance, whilst request-
ing the assistance of Mowbray Po-lice. The vehicle was finally pulledover in the vicinity of KlipfonteinRoad.While searching thevehicle,police officers recovered 14 uncutdiamonds, three cellphones and alarge amount of Zimbabwean Dol-lars. Police have since arrestedthree men who are expected to ap-
pear in the Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt on Thursday 20 October oncharges of being in possession ofunpolished diamonds.
• “Around the clock investiga-tion” by detectives at ClaremontPolice into a house robbery thatoccurred at Upper Primrose Roadon Tuesday 11 October, finally led
to a breakthrough, when police of-fice swooped on a residence in thevicinity of Langa in the earlyhours of Friday morning, 21 Octo-ber, where they arrested one sus-pect. The car – a white MercedesBenz – that was used in house rob-bery was found on the premises.Police also recovered a cellphone

Mayor launches rivercleaning projectCAPE Town Mayor, Alderman Patri-cia de Lille, launched the city’s rivercleaning project in memory of the lateProfessor Kader Asmal on Wednesday19 October.
This project aims to create 400 jobs overa two-year period as part of the MayoralSpecial Jobs Programme to create 8 000jobs.
De Lille says it was Asmal who firstidentified the need for such activities toensure a clean water supply. She says:“The City of Cape Town is committed tobuilding an inclusive and caring society.
“We will do all we can to alleviate theimmediate demands of poverty while con-tinuing with our long-term strategy to en-sure that we create the economic environ-ment in which investment can grow andjobs can be created.”
This led to her announcement lastmonth of the creation of the Mayor’s Spe-cial Job Creation Project. The City aimsto spend R138 million in the first phase,in which 32 000 people will benefit annual-ly by the job opportunities created.
The Kader Asmal Project benefits fromthe Extended Public Works Programme(EPWP) model. It will be labour intensiveand thus maximise job opportunities.
To ensure its sustainability, the projectwill be implemented in different phases.
These phases will see the identificationof problems, schedules for cleaning, andschedules for monitoring.
Activities will include removal of inva-sive plants, river clean-ups, litter dispos-al, repair of leaking sewers, identifyingpollution hotspots and cleaning.
It will include aspects of a river wardensystem. The aim is to create awarenessand provide education to prevent dump-ing and littering by Capetonians.
The catchment areas identified arelinked to the following rivers: Diep River,Salt River, Liesbeek River, Black River,Elsies Kraal River, Keyser River, PrinceKasteel River, Westlake River, ZandvleiRiver, Zeekoevlei River, Rondevlei Riv-er, Eerste River, Kuils River and theKhayelitsha Wetlands.
De Lille adds: “This programme will goa long way to helping us protect a valua-ble resource and ensure that we adhereto the principle of sustainable develop-ment, which includes safeguarding ournatural resources. Most critically, it willprovide relief for those most in need inour society. In all, it brings together re-spect for our natural heritage with re-spect for our social heritage as well.”

Kitchen confidentialHANRIE BOSCH
IF you cannot find a good excusefor bulging out of your bikini orSpeedo this summer, then here isa fool proof one: just blame it onthe top 20 DStv Eat Out Awardnominees, five of whom are situ-ated in the heart of the city.
Langoustines, crayfish, cream,double cream, sugar, spice and allthings nice. These five restaurantshave worked hard at making Cape-tonians work a little harder in thegym or along the promenade. AndPeople’s Post spoke to the five chefsto find out what’s cooking.
Etiquette dictates that youshouldeat from the outside in, so People’sPost started at the edge of the city,with Luke Dale-Roberts, chef andowner of The Test Kitchen at OldBiscuit Mill in Woodstock.
The quaint restaurant has spacefor only 35 guests. Thereare 10 chefsand 6 people on the floor. Attention
to detail and constant innovation iseverything, says Dale-Roberts as hespills the beans about his secret towowing guests.
“Signature dishes are an Achillesheel. They inhibit progress. It isgood to keep things fresh and new.”He also adds that besides excellentservice and fresh ideas “happy peo-ple create happy food,” and that iswhat The Test Kitchen is all about.
The Planet Restaurant and Bar issituated in the Mount Nelson Hotel,Gardens. Chef Rudi Liebenbergsays that Cape Town is on the foodmap, and there is “nothing wrongwith what we are doing, in fact weareas goodasmanyof the topplacesout there, in many cases we areeven better.” And his secret weap-on?
“Food should be respected. It willrespect you in turn. People willtaste if food has not been respected.Aim for simplicity, local, sustaina-ble produce where possible.”
Still feeling peckish, we proceed-
ed for the main to the Japanese andSouth American influenced Nobuon the V&A Waterfront. ChefHideki Maeda has a simple philoso-phy: “To make all guests happy”and a secret weapon as complicatedand intriguing as origami: umami.
Umami is a Japanese term mean-ing “pleasant savoury taste.” It isan esoteric flavour and the fifthtaste sense, alongwith sweet, bitter,sour and salty, which can be foundin the exotic signature dish BlackCod Den Miso.
To cleanse the palate we went toThe Roundhouse: A 300-year-oldround house on the hills overlook-ing Camps Bay. Chef PJ Vadas saysthis is the third year in a row thatthe restaurant has been nominated,and hopes that the well seasonedrestaurant will take home the ba-con this year. Up in the Camps Bayhills, surrounded by nature, it ishard not to source fresh produce lo-cally and Vadas says that their se-cret weapon, besides the view, is
“asmuchwildproduceaspossible”.This is evident in their signature
dish, an organic “Veg Patch” plat-ter filled with seasonal organic rawand pickled veggies, all sourced lo-cally, and possibly good for the biki-ni too.
With little space left People’s Postends off on a sweet note at Azure,in the Twelve Apostles hotel,Camps Bay, where Chef HenricoGrobbelaar puts the cherry on topof the fine dining journey.
Open 24/7 with 21 chefs and 12porters, Grobbelaar says their mot-to is “we are stronger than pain.”And their seductively sweet secretweapon? “Keep it real. Keep it sim-ple. And source locally,” which isnever a bad thing when your plateis dripping in seafood and fresh pro-duce. At the end of the gastronomicjourney, feeling pleasantly stuffedand lazy, one has to wonder if thebeach is really worth it when thereare so many great places in CapeTown to Eat Out.

SPCA inundatedwith kittensTHE number of abandoned, stray and sur-rendered cats and kittens admitted to theCape of Good Hope SPCA cattery duringSeptember, increased by 70% to 228 as adirect result of owners not sterilisingtheir cats.
Although cats can breed all year round, theperiod September to March is generally re-garded as the active breeding season. If leftunsterilised, a young female cat is fertilefrom as young as six months and will havean average of two litters per year with an av-erage of 2.8 kittens surviving each litter.Should an owner allow two cats and theirsurviving offspring to breed for ten years,they’ll produce 80 399 780 cats in that time!
“Owners who fail to spay or neuter theirpets are contributing to the serious pet over-population problem in our city”, says CoGHSPCA Animal Care Centre Manager, MargieAinscow.Under the City of Cape Town’s newAnimal by-law, owners may be forced to ster-ilize their cats if the authorized official be-lieves it to be “in the interests of the welfareof the cat; to prevent nuisance; when the catis stray; and, on the request of the owner, andthat the costs thereof may be recovered fromthe owner.”“Unwanted litters are oftendumped or left to roam and allowed to breeduncontrollably. We urge people to sterilizetheir cats. If not, many will die young of dis-ease or starvation - but not before they havehad more litters, further adding to the prob-lem,” she says. “Affordability need not be anexcuse. Most animal welfare groups, includ-ing the CoGH SPCA, will sterilize cats at asubsidised rate for those who genuinely can-not afford private veterinary fees,” she says.To spay or neuter your cat, contact your localveterinarian or the CoGH SPCA Animal Hos-pital on (021) 700 4140/45 or [email protected]. To adopt a cat or kit-ten from the SPCA visit www.spca-ct.co.za oremail [email protected]

Illegal signboardssprout in KenilworthTERESA FISCHER
FOLLOWING a letter of complaint abouta “rash” of illegally erected advertising
signage from a resident in Upper Kenil-worth, residents are reminded of the eas-iest way to lodge a complaint.
However, according to the complainant,the public should not accept a “creeping atti-tude” on the part of the municipality to shiftthe onus of reporting suburban problemsonto ratepayers.
“These signboards are nailed to trees, tiedwith (polluting) cable ties to traffic lightpoles and street signs. Anything from DSTVinstallations, electrician and garden servic-es to marriage counselling, abortions andwomb cleaning are advertised aroundhere,” says Andre Hanekom.
One the signs was allegedly nailed to atree, and Hanekom says he had to removethe 30mm nails with pliers and a screwdriv-er.
This was at the corner of Alexandra andTennant roads.
He took a photograph of the sign advertis-ing Water Damage Services.
People’s Post phoned the number on theboard, only to discover that the wrongnumber had been printed. The correctnumber was found online.
Themanager,whowanted tobeknownon-ly as Gerald, said some of their signs hadgone missing and he had assumed it was acompetitor. But he also said he was notaware of any illegally erected signs ashehadpaid a company to make and distribute thesigns.
He added he would investigate, and subse-
quently emailed the following comment:“We are unaware of any alleged ‘illegalboards.’ Should you produce proof of same,we will remove them asap. I am surprisedthat you could not find anything more inter-esting to write about.”
Hanekom continues: “If my complaint isperhaps published and seen by one of ourdozy city councillors, the inevitable re-sponse will probably be to report the matterto the ‘appropriate call centre number’.”
According to Councillor Ian Iversen therules are clear: “Only electricity poles areallowed to be used to hang approved posters.It is illegal to use any other object, whetherCity-owned or not, to display posters.”
He says fine for each illegal poster is inthe region of R200.
Iversen adds: “The Cape Town Municipal-ity has introduced an electronic system tocapture and monitor all municipal com-plaints. I would like to urge Mr Hanekom touse this C3 system, especially as he has e-mail facilities. It is important that people gothrough the contactus centre, rather thanphoning an official directly, as this under-mines the system and the management con-trols that have been built in.”
Residents can contact the centre by eithere-mailing [email protected], sms31373 or phoning 0860 10 30 89.
All people who contact the centre will re-ceive a reference number so that they canfollow up the matter.
According to Iversen, the City relies onresidents to alert it of community problemsas they will certainly be far more aware ofan immediate local issue than a City Coun-cillor who, he says, might have over 300roads in her or his ward.

Cape Town’s owngrand garden
ONE HUNDRED years ago, Kirstenboschwas an abandoned farm, overgrown withweeds and alien vegetation.
Today, it is one of the world’s top seven bo-tanical gardens, and one of Cape Town’s Big6 must-see attractions, sharing space withthe Table Mountain Cableway, Robben Is-land, Cape Point, the Constantia Vineyardsand the V&A Waterfront (for more seewww.capetownbig6.co.za).
Set against the eastern slopes of TableMountain, Kirstenbosch was established in1913 to promote, conserve and display the ex-traordinarily rich and diverse flora of South-ern Africa, and was the first botanic gardenin the world to be devoted to a country’s in-digenous plants. The garden boasts a widevariety of the Cape’s unique plant life, alongwith plants from all the diverse regions ofSouthern Africa, both outdoors and in its Bo-tanical Society Conservatory.
There are over 7 000 species in cultivationat Kirstenbosch, including many rare andthreatened species.
The garden – which takes up 36ha of a528ha estate that encloses protected moun-tainside supporting natural forest and fyn-bos, along with a variety of animals and birds– lies in the heart of the Cape Floristic Re-gion, which in 2004 was declared a UnescoWorld Heritage Site, making Kirstenboschthe first botanic garden in the world to be in-cluded in a natural World Heritage Site.
You can find out more about the gardenand its history by joining a guided tour – freeafter entrance – and relax after your walk inone of Kirstenbosch’s two restaurants.
The artistically inclined can join a six-partcourse of landscape painting lessons withArtist Jill Fearon for the duration of October;they happen from 09:30 till 13:00, Mondays toFridays. The focus of each lesson will shiftfrom day to day, but the main theme will al-ways be the colour, texture and mood in thegarden at this time of year.

Go matricsTHOUSANDS of matriculants around thecountry began the most important exam oftheir school career yesterday.
In the Western Cape, more than 40 000 full-time and 9 000 part-time candidates are writ-ing theNational SeniorCertificate exams thisyear.
Education MEC Donald Grant said in anewspaper article he was confident that theclass of 2011 would do well.
The last matric exam paper will be writtenon 1 December and marking in eight provinc-es will start on 2 December.
An anxious, nailbiting period lies ahead formore than 620 000 South African matricu-lants.
While goodwill messages of “relax: and“stay calm” are well-meant, the most impor-tant ingredients for success in these exams –or any other, for that matter – are preparationand sheer hard work.
Most matrics can identify with this as theyhave taken extra classes, formed studygroups and spent months preparing.
Those who have invested the time will reapthe rewards of a guaranteed entry to tertiaryeducation, or a headstart in the job market.
There is no greater feeling of accomplish-ment in one’s young life than that of passingyour matric exams.
Our message to matric candidates is: Evenif you’ve done minimal to no preparation, itis not too late.
Start swotting today and every day for thenext five weeks, dedicating every availablehour you can. Secure your place in the cele-bratory fever that will sweep Cape Town andthe rest of the country once the results areout. Every sacrifice you make today is an in-vestment in your future. You have the powerto see a successful culmination of more thanadecadeat school. It iswithinyour reach, andyou have the support of your peers, parents,educators and all of us at People’s Post as wewish you every success during your exams.

A question of donations. In response to Jo Maxwell’s comment on
private welfare donations, it would be inter-esting to try and calculate the total value ofthese donations countrywide. Linda
. I commend Jo Maxwell for selflessly help-ing the community. I take exception, though,to the mention of the “waste of money” with“20 organisations running trauma units.” I’ma volunteer at one of these units and her opin-ion saddens me. People give to a cause closeto their hearts (as opposed to one genericcause) and this would be to an organisationin which they have faith. If we do what we can,with what we’ve got, we’ll make a difference.Natasha
Dear Lynn. Lynn Prins makes a big mistake when she
describes kick-off punts as a punt which, asall rugby fans know, is a kick whereby the ballis dropped from the hand to the boot like ina touch kick or an up-and-under. A kick-off isalways a drop kick! MB
. Lynn Prins, I love your column! Thankyou for teaching me so much about rugby!
By the way. We hear about all kinds of accidents in-
volving kids. On 18 October a lady driving awhite Kombi with a blue sliding door (trans-porting kids from a local school) let the chil-dren jump out of the vehicle every time to giveit a push start.
. I witnessed in four areas the most aggres-sive and extremely ugly harassment of citi-zenry by census workers. Elder citizens notexcluded! People were even frightened to com-plain. Lisa, Lakeside
Give a thought to census workersAS a census field worker we are here to assistyou in filling in the census questionnaire.You do not have to let us into your house. Ifit makes you more comfortable, we can doit over the intercom or between your securi-ty gates.
We don’t have any hand held devices(apart from our cell phones); this is some-thing that was copied and pasted from the2010 census in the USA. Field workers work
long hours and fill in these forms all day. Weare all suffering from lack of sleep and highstress levels; lack of family time – and I can’tremember the last time I had a proper break-fast, lunch and dinner.
Just remember the next time you see a cen-sus worker to cut them some slack. We arejust trying to do our jobs and we aren’t theones who wrote all these questions.BRADLEY SCOTT

. What happened to Pinelands municipali-ty is that longago it ceased to exist. If residentswould only care enough to cut their vergesand trim their own hedges, the village wouldlook nice again.
. It’s so nice to see Brian Watkyns takingsome time out to “update” Pinelanders. A lotof us old folk don’t have e-mail so more regularnewspaper updates in People’s Post would bebeneficial to the Pinelands community.
. As far as I know, when squatters move inand create a camp, like the Ndabeni squatters,there is a quick turnaround time to movethem. It was not done in this case. BrianWatkyns says the legal process might taketime, but they have already been there formonths! Nonetheless, I think Pinelands resi-dents and People’s Post should adhere to amonthly update column from Watkyns to findout what he is doing for Pinelands!
In response. To the person who thinks that small dogs
carried in arms is unhealthy: these are our ba-bies. They are cared for, inoculated andbathed just as we do our children!
. Dear People’s Post, could you please pub-lish a column on The Consumer ProtectionAct, explaining in detail the rights of consum-ers. We need to know more as there are busi-nesses that are continuing with bad practices.Especially the car dealers in Parow.
Driven off the rails. To Anon, I agree completely. It’s a rip-off

Silly season bluesIT must be silly season for I was talked intoa “presentation” by a travel company. All Ihave to do is to attend the “presentation”with my wife (a condition) to be presentedwith a free four-day getaway for two or fourpeople.
I duly arrive at the hotel where all this willhappen and then I must fill in a form that re-ally reveals all to the presenters.
Weare all ushered - there arenow10people- into a room where we are given a talk onthe advantages of using the said travel agen-cy. This takes an hour and on the face of it,it seems OK. Now we are separated into cou-ples and given a glimpse into what this willcost. I am quite staggered that a figure of
R25 000 is put to me.I now inform the agent that we are pen-
sioners and that kind of money was not atour disposal for their service, which resultedin a drop in price and then a special (for thatday only): a pensioners rate, which I stillfound too expensive. I realize now that weshould leave, but when we enquire about ourfree getaway I am made to feel that I am steal-ing it from these people, but I get it and leave.It does not end there, on reading the “vouch-er,”we find thatwehave topaya registrationfee of R4 000. The silly season will not catchme again - and you?JOHN CREBBINScarborough
The pen is mightier than the swordMY grandson, aged 7, is learning to write. In-dicative of the age in which we live, he wrotea note which simply said “You rock.” It willforever take me back to the time it was writ-ten.
This competition got me thinking: The handis the servant of the brain.
In order to make what is in the human mindviable and visible, we have to transfer it to pa-per.
For this we require a small tool that be-comes the extension of the hand. We need thethree partners: the mind, the hand and thepen, working together to implement the plansand structure that most impact our lives.
As in the case of the indelible mark SteveJobs has left on the world, every exciting dis-covery, every brilliant plan, every vibrantidea, is transferred to paper to transform it
from the intangible to the tangible.As much and as far as technology will take
the human race (the impact and the miracleof which is yet unimaginable), it cannot signdocuments on our behalf.
All the main events in our lives - gettingmarried, buying a house - requires a signa-ture, which requires a pen. It is the indispen-sable tool used for writing poetry, takingnotes, signing cheques, making a shoppinglist, filling in the crossword-puzzle, takingdown a phone number, for doctors to writeprescriptions.
The pen is not only mightier than the sword.What it writes can be more healing than thebest medication; more meaningful than a loveletter, and kinder than an angel’s touch.CHARLOTTE CAINEClaremont
A little goes a long wayA 25-year-old Canadian, who was born inIran, gave a talk to the Rotary Club of Clare-mont last Tuesday about his work in the pov-erty stricken area of Fishhoek. What is so re-markable is that he is living with the peoplein conditions where there is no tap water orelectricity. There is a borehole which re-quires a rather expensive pump but there areno funds.Ageneratorwouldallowelectricityfor studying - providing a container could bedonated.
Sadly, the youth have very little to do intheir spare time and therefore either joingangs or become drug addicts. We are work-ing together to set up community sport facili-ties, but concentrating on volleyball and bas-ketball fields, rather than contact sports like
soccer or rugby. The youth need physical ac-tivities and with little funding (a volley ballset costs only R600), he could encourage thetownship youth to become more involved.With a R3 000 grant from my club, I will kickstart the project with either volleyball or bas-ketball kits - depending on what the youththemselves want. Best we don’t make the de-cision ourselves and give them what we“think” they should have. So often we givewithout asking what they would prefer,which was a lesson to be learned fromYashar. As I said, he is a remarkable youngman with enormous compassion and is pas-sionate about his community’s wellbeing.JO MAXWELLPinelands
Endangered stationeryYOUR flashback to the days when penswere filled by the lever system transportedme to the mid-seventies when I was manag-ing a stationery shop in Gauteng.
Once a week, without fail, a dear old gentwould come into the store and surrepti-tiously fill his fountain pen from one of thebottles of ink on the shelf.
He had no idea he was being observed -we made sure that the same inkbottle stoodin the preferred position and everyone hadan enjoyable experience!
The fountain pen - what an exciting inno-vation!
Prior to its arrival on the scene we hadthe dipping pen with its post office nibwhich had to be sucked vigorously beforeany ink would adhere to it.
School desks featured a hole on the right-hand side to accommodate an inkwell. I re-call one ghastly occasion when I was oninkwell duty, a taskwhich involved the top-ping up of inkwells via a heavy enamel tea-
pot. One particular inkwell seemed to takeforever to fill and it was a while before Irealised that it had rusted through and Ihad decanted half the contents of the teapotstraight into the desk! There was a spot oftrouble over that one...
Then, of course, along came the ball-point, frowned on by parents and teachersalike and, initially, delivering rather blob-by script. “Boilpoint” would have been abetter name - immersing the tip in hot wa-ter seemed to improve the flow.
Today, the pen in all its forms, has be-come an endangered species, beleaguredby e-mails and text messaging which cannever replace those treasured epistles fromloved ones that brighten our postboxes inever-decreasing numbers.
The pen is one of the last bastions of gra-cious living. We must ensure that it sur-vives!JENNY MOSDELLClareinch

Painting a better futureHAVING found refuge at Percy BartleyHouse, a Woodstock home for boys inneed, a group of youngsters are gainingrenewed inspiration for life through art.
Supported by two Woodstock companiescommitted to using their creative resourcesto uplift the area – Ogilvy Cape Town andWrite on Africa – the boys have been attend-ing weekly art classes this year, and they’vebeen learning valuable life skills along theway.
The youths’ teachers, Mkwela Juma andWillard Kambeva, have themselves both tri-umphed over hardship. Both Zimbabweanborn, these two suffered years of struggle inSouth Africa as a result of the 2008 xenopho-bic attacks, and met at a place of safety,where they were appointed as group leaders.
It was there that they made the decisionto uplift their fellow people, and have sincebeen using art to bring about social develop-ment in impoverished areas.
And the youngsters under their guidanceare clearly enjoying the opportunity to grow.“We are learning a lot in the art classes, from
mixing colours to working together as ateam,” says one, and another adds, “Artkeeps me away from bad friends and off thestreet. It gives me peace in my soul.”
Most importantly, the boys gain encour-agement in expressing themselves throughtheir artwork and aim to relay meaning ineach piece they produce.
“It is an inspiration for the boys to betaught by people who themselves have seenart bring about change to their lives,” saysFarlane Nsinale, director of the home and amother figure to the boys.
Nsinale says the classes are helping theboys get in touch with their emotions andlearn other skills at the same time.
“Not only are they learning to appreciateand respect each other more every day, butthey are even using the dictionary to look upwords for graffiti-style art,” she says.
As part of its long-term support plan, Ogil-vy Cape Town aims to help rebuild part ofthe home after it burned down.
The new section will provide a largerspace to welcome more youths in need – andthe walls will be their canvases.

Come Closer with tourismAS Capetonians eagerlyawait the announcement ofWorld Design Capital 2014,and whether Table Moun-tain will be one of the newSeven Natural Wonders, astrong emphasis has beenplaced on tourism and theeconomic benefits it couldhold.
Ahead of the announce-ments, a new book is illus-trating the importance ofthis sector. “Come Closer:How Tourism is Shaping theFuture of Nations” by AnitaMendiratta is fast gainingrecognition as an informa-tive reference guide for thetourism sector, and was re-cently listed with theworld’s biggest bookseller,Amazon.com.
As stated by Business Day:“Tourism’s enormousgrowth, despite a dip causedby the global recession, is,as Mendiratta says, insepa-rable from economicgrowth. Plus, it is the kindof industry just about any-one can get into at some lev-el.
This is one of those booksthat asks questions andgives information that canfeed the answers, but leavesthe answering of the ques-tion up to you.”
David Scowsill, president and CEO of theWorld Travel and Tourism Council, echoesthe importance of getting the word out thereto get tourism growing “stronger, wider anddeeper”.
“The global travel and tourism industry, atnine percent GDP, is critical to countriesacross the world trying to move forward asdeveloped and developing nations. This is es-
pecially true during this period of global eco-nomic crisis. For the industry to really work,and generate the jobs, revenues, investmentand trade that it is capable of, understandingof the central principles and practices of theindustry is a must.”

IT has been a phenomenal sevenweeks with historic moments,emotional moments, and joyousmoments.
A huge congratulations is in or-der for the team of the moment cur-rently crowned the World Champi-ons.
Way overdue if you ask me, andwell deserved. Those of you whodon’t know, it’s only the secondtime that New Zealand has lifted thecup since 1987.
Obviously the hype must havebeen all over Auckland, not forget-ting our fellow countrymen whosupport the Kiwis. Auckland musthave been buzzing, everyone want-ing to greet their heroes and get aglimpse of the Web Ellis Cup.
I must add, though, New Zealandcould not have won the cup at a bet-ter time, since they have been goingthrough a rough patch this pastyear with earthquakes and the PikeRiver mine disaster.
A salute to the French also, forwhom it was an outstanding andunpredictable tournament, givingan astounding performance in thefinal.
Playing with heart and showingcharacter is true sportsmanship,and both teams delivered that.
Last week People’s Post explainedkick-offs and restart kicks, andpromised to sum up the rules.Thesewill be kept to a mini-mum,but readers who would likemore can email me at
can be quite confusing. A ruck isnormally formedwhen theball is onthe ground.
Amaul is formedwhenmore thantwo players have joined togetheraround the ball carrier, and the ballis held off the ground.
If the ball has gone to ground,then the group of joined players iscalled a ruck. The important princi-ple of rucks and mauls is that once
they are set, two imaginary offsideslines appear behind each team’srucking/mauling players, extend-ing from touchline to touchline.
Anyplayer running into the zone,from behind this line before the ballleaves, butwho is not joining theruck or maul, is considered offsideand a penalty can be awarded to theother team.
Knock-onsThese occur when a player fum-
bles the ball and knocks it forwardwith his hands or arms. The playeris allowed to try and regain control.
If he can catch it before it touchesanother player or the ground, hecan play on. Otherwise it is a“knock-on” and play may bestopped.
When possession of the ball islost, a scrum is set, with the non-of-fending team getting the scrumfeed.
If you intentionallyknockon, youmay be penalised. If what you didprevented a probable try, a penaltytry may be awarded.
OffsideA player is offside in general play
if he is in front of a teammate whois carrying the ball, or in front of ateammate who last played the ball.The aim is to stay behind the ball.
Forward passA player is not allowed to pass the
ball forward to a teammate.A big thank you to those who fol-
lowed my column and a thank youto those who congratulated me andeven to those who disagreed.
Signing off until the next WorldCup.

THREE weeks into the softball seasonand already there have been upsets
in the Super League division. Falcons-Normies fell short of an undefeatedstreak, as did Old Mutual.
Falcons-Normies had an upsetting week-end two weeks ago during double-headerwhen they lost to Old Mutual Cubs the Satur-day in a tightly contested match, and on Sun-day they lost again, this time to GlenthornAs. Albertons beat Cubs on Saturday 6-3,leaving Glenthorn As and Westridge Yan-kees the only undefeated team.
Meanwhile, Glenthorn’s pitcher LaurenMulder, who will be playing in the JuniorWomen’s World Championship in Decem-ber, looks in top form along with team matesAlex Fortune (short stop) and Carly Mulder(left outfielder).
According to Steven Rodkin, Glenthorncoach, he said: “Alex is putting balls in playwith her left slap hitting and she has a highon base percentage because of speed. Shemay not always come off well with battingbut her speed helps her to reach the basesafely. As for Carly she’s definitely perform-ing and even scored the winning run against
Falcons-Normies.”After Falcons-Normies’ double loss, they
managed to redeem themselves on Saturday23 October by beating Tanta Sport 18-2 inthree frames. Falcons-Normies’ Nicole Alex-ander, who will also participate in the JW-WC, batted two out of four with one homerunand four RBI’s (runs brought in). JustineSteward, who is on the shortlist for the JW-WC, is also showing improvement in her bat-ting.
Old Mutual Cubs is another team that hasshown some positivity this season, beatingone of the strongest teams in an early runto the season. Their winning streak contin-ued this weekend. At the Mitchell’s Plainfields on Saturday, undefeated champsWestridge Yankees sealed another win whenthey faced St Martins, beating them 11-3.
Yankees started off with Juliana Becerrapitching. She faced 15 batters, striking outone, and three hits came off her. She was re-lieved by Megan Cable in top of the fourthframe, where she faced seven batters, strik-ing out one and conceding one hit. The topbatters in that match were Lara Erasmus ofYankees, batting three for four, with onehomerun, one three-bagger, and three RBIs.Teammate Candice Bull batted two for threewith one three-bagger and one RBI. Candice
Stephens battedone for two withone homerun andtwo RBIs. CarlaWichman battedtwo for two withone three-baggerand one RBI. StMartins’ top bat-ters were Jade Pe-tersen and RobynPackery.
St Martins start-ed the season offwith a blow to theirteam, when theylost their pitcher, akey player, to ashoulder injury.Natalie Abrahams,who is also part ofthe JWWC team,will only make herreturn in twoweeks.
