According to the LMRID steering commit- tee chairperson, Marc Gammon, this initia- tive is a milestone for the area. “The approval to establish LMRID repre- sents a key milestone and opportunity in the lives of the Little Mowbray and Rosebank communities to combine forces and contin- ue working together to reduce crime and im- prove our quality of life,” he says. “In collaboration with the neighbourhood watches, the police and other partners, this can be done.” Almost 66% of property owners voted in support of establishing LMRID, Gammon ex- plains. “The focus now needs to shift to en- suring that LMRID makes a positive differ- ence in the lives of our communities. The success of LMRID will be dependent on good communication and cooperation with all property owners and residents,” he says. “We call on any property owner to contact the LMRID Steering Committee if they have questions or would like to become involved in any way.” The steering committee mem- bers are all volunteers and a huge amount of work lies ahead to turn the organisation’s vision into reality.” Property owners in the area can calculate what their Special Rating Area (SRA) levy will be as follows: Each property owner’s SRA levy will be calculated based on the City’s 2015 general property valuation. For residential properties, the annual cent in the rand will be 0.000652 and for commer- cial properties it will be 0.001293, excluding VAT. By way of example, a residential property with a value of R3,2m will pay 3,200,000 x 0.000652 / 12 = R173.87 (excluding VAT), which is R198.21 (including VAT) per month.

‘Rapists are useless’ – Chaka ChakaTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
“Today is the day we all sayenough is enough. Rape and
abuse has no colour and it doesn’tcare whether you’re white orblack, but today it must stop.”
These were the words of legend-ary musician Yvonne ChakaChaka, a guest speaker at the 11thlunch of 1000 Women UnitedAgainst Domestic Violence andAbuse, held at the Cape Town In-ternational Convention Centre(CTICC) on Thursday last week.
Women from different areascame together to speak aboutabuse and said it was time theystood together to put an end to it.The day was also used to celebratewomen who have stood tall to talkabout their circumstances. Agroup ofwomenwho are part of the“I’m Beautiful Project” spokeabout their different experiencesof violence and abuse.The exhibition will be at the
CTICC for a month. Thereafter itwill move to the Media24 building
before it goes to Pick n Pay’s of-fices.
In South Africa, one in everyfourwomen is caught in anabu-sive relationship. Every sixdays, a woman is murdered byher intimate partner.
More shocking is that a wom-an is raped every 25 seconds ofevery day.
These horrific statistics arenothing new to people living inSouth Africa as the escalatinglevel of abuse is broadcast 24hours a day via media chan-nels.
The luncheonwas a call to allSouth Africans to stand togeth-er and speak out against theabuse of our women.Chaka Chaka said now was
the time to fight for women sothat they won’t be blamed bythe next generation. “All menwho rape and are abusive, areuseless and stupid. They arenot worth living. As women it’stime we take a stand. Womenshould be nurtured and lookedafter by men. We must work
with each other to complete one an-other, not to compete. Its high timemen learned to respect women. Weare not here to compete, but to beequals and work together.”
She added that mothers have ahuge responsibility to play if thewaragainst violence and abusewas to bewon. “Mothers, let’s teach our chil-dren that women are not doormats.They must be respected. Let’s teachour kids that women are importantand they should be valued, not tram-pled on. It starts at home. If we raisegood sons who respect women thenwe have won the war.”
Turning to women she told themto speak against rape and abuse.
“Women need to start talkingabout these things, not to make funof women being abused. In SouthAf-rica we have a huge problem. Welook the other way when things be-gin to happen. We need to stand to-gether. Women, talk to one another.Don’t stay in an abusive relation-ship. If he loves you, he won’t abuseyou. Some stay because they havenowhere to go. Some stay becausethe man is the provider. No, Godgave you your brains and hands –use them to work for yourself. Menare here to hold our hands and wewalk together side by side. We allcan’t make it on our own – we needeach other as man and woman, butwe should never, ever allow our-selves to be abused.”
Wendy Ackerman, patron of theevent, said she was happy that a lotof people came out to say they havehad enough.
“The message has to go out there.Touch more women and we start to
talk about these things and we dosomething about it. The power ofyour voice has to be heard. At themoment women’s voices are not asloud, but the message is very cleartoday – we’ve had enough and abuse
and rape must stop now.”The money raised at the event
will help to provide access to skills,knowledge and resources and toprovide seed funding to women-ledorganisations.

A symphony of sound will be emanatingfrom the South African College School
(SACS) when they host their annual concer-to festival tomorrow (Wednesday) night.
Nine music student soloists will be per-forming movements from trumpet, trom-bone, clarinet, saxophone and piano concer-tos accompanied by a professional sympho-ny orchestra in the Hofmeyr Hall at theschool in Newlands.
Guest artists are the Springfield ConventSenior School Choir and jazz saxophonistBuddy Wells.
A highlight of the evening will be MikeCampbell’s arrangement of Wells’ “Recogni-sance” and the 50-piece SACS High SchoolConcert Band will open the evening with anoverture.
Greta Graham, head of music at theschool, explains that the event started eightyears ago when five of their students wereplaying concertos, but there was no schoolorchestra to accompany them.
“They were so talented and inspired us tofind an orchestra to accompany them. Theywere Daniels Gadd, Blake Hellaby, MurrayMeisner, Joseph Macmillan and Simon Ack-ermann. Since the first Concerto Festivalwas launched in 2008, the number of soloists,the audience and interest have grown eachyear.”
This year the audience will be treated toan outstanding concert featuring the talent-ed students at the school. “We are indeed for-tunate to have a headmaster who believes inthe enormous value of this event, despite thecost of bringing an orchestra to SACS.”
The “pros” of musicians having a focussuch as this, being rewarded so wonderfullyfor their hard work, the high standard set
each year and the musical growth it devel-ops, far outweigh the “cons”. “Auditions areheld and our challenge is to include all of oursoloists into a concert that is not too lengthy,as well as giving those who have preparedwell, the opportunity to perform. This galaconcert annually inspires the boys to suc-ceed and to excel in making music.”
Another exciting feature of the concert isthat every year, something new is included.
“This year Professor Mike Campbell wascommissioned to orchestrate one of BuddyWells’ compositions,” adds Graham.
“The SACS Concert Band will again per-form an overture to open the evening’s pro-gramme and we welcome Springfield Con-
vent High School Choir again, to join withour choir. Sharing the podium once moreare members of the SACS music staff, con-ductors Warren Patientia, Levi Alexanderand Dr Mike Blake, who take up their batonsin this varied programme.”
The soloists for this festival are: Jung-WooJang. Zubair Abader, Robert Versveld, Dan-iel Loubser, Duncan Reid, Cameron Bar-nard, Matthew Hayward, Seth Meyer, Mich-ael Hoyle, Shaw Komori and guest artistBuddy Wells.
The concerto festival in the Hofmeyr Hallstarts at 19:00; tickets are R80.V For more information email [email protected] or call 021 689 4164.

FROM PAGE 1Steering Committee deputy chairper-son Rae Wolpe says there are a numberof legal and logistical issues whichneed to be taken forward.
“These include include the registra-tion of the non-profit entity and otherregistrations with the South AfricanRevenue Services and other regulato-ry authorities. Once these are com-plete, a bank account will be opened.
“Secondly, service providers willneed to be appointed. This involves aprocess of developing request for pro-posal specifications for safety andcleansing services is underway. Oncethese specifications are developed, re-quests for quotes will be sent to poten-tial service providers to ensure a com-petitive and cost-efficient process.
“Proposals received will then beevaluated before service level agree-ments can be entered into with serviceproviders.”
A number of property owners havealso asked whether and when theyshould cancel their subscription to theADT bicycle patrols. “They are ad-vised not to cancel their subscriptionsuntil the LMRID security service pro-vider has been appointed and the start-ing date for LMRID patrols can be con-firmed,” explains Wolpe.
The official LMRID report that wassubmitted to the City of Cape TownCouncil in April this year (and whichcontains more details including objec-tions received and responses) will bemade available on the LMRID web site(www.lmrid.capetown.gov.za) as soonas it is received from the City (hopeful-ly before end May).V For more information, visit http://lmrid.cape-town or facebook.com/littlemowbrayrose-banksra.

Making FlorenceNightingale proudGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
The world celebrated International Nurs-es Day on Thursday last week, the birth
date of Florence Nightingale, and her heri-tage still plays an integral part of modernmedical practice.Considered the founder of modern nurs-
ing, Nightingale is celebrated because shewas instrumental in modifying nursing in-to a respectable profession.She raised the standards of nursing by in-
corporating education, leadership and re-sponsibility within the profession.While modern nursing has changed tre-
mendously, the Western Cape health de-partment acknowledges that nurses formthe largest category of clinical staff in thehealth service.They are an integral part of the health
team, forming the backbone of providinggood quality care.The department has 12 709 nurses work-
ing in government health facilities.One of those nurses making a difference
is KarinMoore, deputy manager of nursingat Mowbray Maternity Hospital, who hasbeen serving the community for the past 38years.Coming from a family of teachers she
thinks it was a rebellious streak in her thatsaw her not being part of the family “busi-ness”.“I am the youngest of six children,” she
says.“All of them, starting with my dad who
was a school principal, went into teaching.I knew that I wanted to serve my communi-
ty but also wanted to do something differ-ent.”Her journey into nursing started at Tyg-
erberg Hospital when colleges were still af-filiated to hospitals and eventually quali-fied as a general nurse before getting intomidwifery.“I worked at the Peninsula Maternity
Hospital for many years before we amalga-matedwithMowbray, but it does notmatterwhere I am because my career has alwaysgiven me great joy, and I enjoy it.“Then I specialised in neonatal care,
which was another challenge, but workingin this field also gavemegreat satisfaction.”While she thought that shewould be retir-
ing in this field, the management of Mow-bray saw some potential in her to inspireand motivate a new generation of nurses.“In 2008 I was persuaded to take up this
position but I saw the need to be part of car-ing for our staff and motivate and inspirethem to be the best at their tasks.“I feel it is important that they also feel
valued and are able to render the servicesneeded. It has been another exciting chal-lenge but when you experience the markedimprovement in their service delivery thenit is all worth it.”But is nursing, as a career, is it still at-
tracting young people?“Not as much as it used to,” says Moore.“There is a shortage because there are
more career options for our youth. I wouldlike to seemore young people looking at theprofession because there are somany facetsto nursing that they are not aware of.“This is a career that can take you to all
corners of the world.”

Rising young stars of the Cape Town CityBallet (CTCB) are set to take cen-
tre stage in the classic and comicballet, Coppélia, at Artscapenext week.
Based on the well-knowntale by E.T.A. Hoffmann, thissparkling production of the be-loved ballet has a short runfrom Monday 25 to Sunday29 May.
With its charmingand mischievousplot, brightly-coloured cos-tumes and glo-rious music,Coppélia is as ide-al for families and se-rious dance lovers, asit is for newcomers tothe ballet.
True love triumphs inthis enchanting fairytale,which features three main char-acters – the young Franz, his fiancéeSwanilda and the mysterious doll-maker, Dr. Coppelius, who createsthe life-like doll, Coppélia. Believ-ing the doll is a real person, Franzbecomes infatuated with her,which most definitely does notmeet with Swanilda’sapproval. This leads to allkinds of hilarious situa-tions amongst the protago-nists and culminates in a hap-pily-ever-after wedding scene.
The role of Swanilda will beshared by Cleo Ames, Sarah-Lee Chapman,

“I call it my cause album,” AuriolHays says of her upcoming re-lease.
The local singer will be official-ly launching her aptly namedDreaming Music at a secret loca-tion on Saturday 28 May and withit, she hopes to give a voice tothose who need it.
While she’s very aware that thesongs on her new album may notsuit commercial radio, Auriolsays: “They come from a verydeep place and they are meant tocreate a difference.”
One of the songs on the album,for example is “Come to Me”,
which she wrote to raise aware-ness about “The Arctic 30” agroup of Greenpeace activists andjournalists who were arrested forprotesting against oil drilling inthe Arctic. She was invited to per-form the song on a Greenpeaceboat last year when their Rain-bow Warrior was docked in CapeTown. Another of her songs“Pray for Rain” has been used bythe Dress Jozi Campaign, an orga-nisation that helps care for thehomeless residents of Johannes-burg. “That’s a wonderful thing.”
Then there’s her track “Helpme Out” which has been used bythe South African Depression andAnxiety Group (SADAG).
Auriol says many fans refer to
her previous album, Call it Loveas “a break-up album”. “It wassad and beautiful,”she says, adding:“This album, I’d liketo think, is so muchhappier and bolder.”
The music switchesbetween blues, folk,reggae with elementsof many other genres,including what Auriolcalls her “Bond-in-spired song”.
She’s also quick topoint out that the fan-tastic band behind herhelped “bring everything to life”.
Auriol is currently workingwith bassist Andre Webb, who al-
so acts as her musical director,guitarist Jason De Laney, drum-
mer Jason Beukes andkeyboardist YvanPotts and when askedhow she met them, shequips: “I’m blamingthe gods on that one.”
When she returnedto Cape Town afterworking in Johannes-burg for three years,Auriol says a randomperson, “out of thegoodness of his heart”,connected her with agroup. While Andre is
the only surviving band member,the situation evolved into onewhere she now works with what
she calls: “an amazing bunch ofmusicians”. While many of themplay for other artists, Auriol saysshe always works with the groupwhen formulating a song “so thatit’s our music and not my music”.
Away from the stage, Auriol isalso moving into the film indus-try, playing the role of the “seer”in the local Sci-Fi series Spelonk.A song she released with CrimsonHouse frontman Riaan Smit“Child Atone” will also be fea-tured in the post-apocalypticpiece that explores what musicand language would sound like in2044.V For more about Auriol Hays or her mu-sic, visit auriolhays.co.za.

Bringing home the Vans titleJordy Maree from Kalk Bay has clinched
the junior titles at the Vans Surf ProClassic which was completed in epic 1.0
to 1.3 metre waves and ideal conditions atYoYo’s in Lambert’s Bay on Sunday.The first World Surf league (WSL) events
to be run north of Cape Town on the Westcoast of South Arica, the Vans Surf ProClassic showcased the country’s best menand junior surfers as they chased a totalprize-purse ofR50 000 and invaluable pointson the qualifying series andWSL Africa re-gional rankings.The junior final sawaquartet of the coun-
try’s top u.18 rippers tearing up the pump-ing A-frame peaks with Maree dominatingfrom start to finish to clinch his first JQSevent title in style. Accumulating scores of8.33 and 9.33 on his opening rides, Mareehad his opponents in a combination situa-tion from the outset. Jake Elkington, alsofrom Kommetjie, delivered a 7.67 but stillneeded a near-perfect 9.99 while Adin Ma-sencamp from Strand and Max Elkington(appearing in a final with his brother forthe first time), needed to improve both theircounting rides when the heat ended.The men’s semi-finals were nail-biting
encounters punctuated by incredible ma-noeuvres with both going down to the wire.In the first, de Vries racked up an excellent8.83 and followed that with a 7.77 beforeDavey Brand got on the scoreboard. Thegoofy foot from Kommetjie responded withscores of 7.93 and 8.33 and, needing 8.28 fora place in the final, he came agonisinglyclose when he was awarded an 8.10 on hislast ride in the closing seconds.The final of the QS1000 rated men’s event
saw Beyrick De Vries from uMhlanga andMichael February fromKommetjie go headto head in a spectacular high-flying airshow. With a light crosswind blowing per-
fectly into the rights, both surfers puntedmanoeuvres above the lip on virtually ev-ery ride and each ended up counting a pairof eight-point scores.
It was de Vries’ rides that impressed thejudgesmore though, and he earned his firstQS event title along with R12 000 in prize-money and 1000 points when his 8.67 and8.47 left him a slim 0.40 of a point ahead ofFebruary’s 8.23 and 8.07.
“Thanks to the locals for letting us usetheir waves and especially to Vans forbringing a QS event to a spot where thewaves are so good,” said de Vries on the po-dium before going on to thank his sponsorsand family for their fantastic support.“Thank you to everyone who came, youlooked left or right and everybodywas smil-ing. Big ups!”
His points haul moved de Vries into thetop 100 on the QS ranking after just twoevents this year, while February’s 750points saw him jump into the top 30.
“The final was always going to be a toughone, especially against Beyrick and withthewaveswe’ve been having,” said Februa-ry. “I hadpriority for the last sevenminutesand nothing came, but I’m happy anyway.This wave is the best, it really brings outthe best in everyone’s surfing and allowsyou to use your whole repertoire of ma-noeuvres.”
The second semi saw February open upwith an 8.67 and an incredible 9.50 beforeMatt McGillivray (Jeffreys Bay) posted hisfirst meaningful score of 7.50. The lankyKommetjie ripper then added an even bet-ter 9.60 which left McGillivray facing adaunting 19.10 total, the highest of theevent. But SA’s highest raneked QS surfertook off on a set wave and posted a perfect10 point ride, his second of the event, to getback into contention. Still requiring 9.10,
McGillivray waited patientlybut did not get the opportuni-ty to complete what wouldhave a famous comeback andhad to settle for third placeoverall and a haul of 560points and R3000.“I knew Mikey (February)
was going to throw downsomebig scores andhe got twonines on the lefts. So I waiteda long time for a set and man-aged a 10 to break the combi-nation, but nothing morecame in the last couple ofmin-utes, said McGillivray.“I’m still happy with my
performance and the way Isurfed.And I’veneverhad two10s in an event, so I’m stoked.”The Vans Surf Pro Classic
has set the bar for perform-ance surfing in South Africaand YoYo’s has established aninstant reputation as one ofthe best contest sites in thecountry, being likened to thefamous Lower Trestles in Cal-ifornia bymanyof the compet-itors.Vans Surf Pro Classic fi-
