OR Customising dreams GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz W hen Chaeli Mycroft made history as one of the first ever wheelchair bound athletes to complete the gruelling Comrades marathon on Sunday, the manufacturing methods of a lo- cal entrepreneur played a big part in her journey. Her “wheels” were made by an inspiring mechanically minded maestro from Kensington. Zahier Davids, who owns Fly- wheel Custom Chariots, is proud of his involvement in Chaeli’s dream to take part in the Comrades. “It was touch and go with this project because they only received late notice of her acceptance in the race,” he says. “But, I was not going to let them down because I know what it’s like to have a dream and fight tooth and nail to achieve it.” For Davids the dream started 16 years ago when retrenchment forced him to look at other ways of making money to support his fami- ly. “Growing up in a community where customising bikes and cars was all around you, I was always interested,” he says. His initial dream of studying en- gineering and design was cut short by a lack of funds and Davids went to work in retail. It all changed when he was retrenched. “But I had to put food on the ta- ble,” he says. That’s when he had the idea to re- store and customise a bicycle. “I knew less than nothing,” he jokes. “There was just this dream that I wanted to make a reality and I pushed ahead asking people in the motor trade and friends. It was mainly trial and error, but my per- sistence paid off. “You must remember the inter- net was not as active back then, but when the bike was finished, it at- tracted a lot of attention in the streets – and I’ve just been learning and growing since then.” Davids also explains that the quest for learning was also about his pursuit of perfection in all of his projects. “There’s no second best for me – if the finished product is not what I had in mind, then it’s simply not good enough. I pay a lot of attention to detail with every nut and bolt on the bike redone, replaced, or cus- tomised. Most of the bikes are orig- inal, but we redo almost every- thing to achieve specific designs.” From those humble beginnings he now designs and manufactures bikes, including low-riders, cruis- ers, choppers and motorised bikes.

The 52-year-old science teacher handed himself over to police Thursday 26 May. He has been accused of rap- ing a 17-year-old pupil on sev- eral occassions. Provincial police spokes- person Lieutenant-Colonel Andre Traut says the matter was reported on Wednesday 25 May. “It is alleged the charges relate to as far back to 2014 where he repeatedly kept the learner back after school and he raped her in a classroom,” Traut says. “The most recent incident happened on Thursday 19 May and we also made the principal of the school aware of the charges.” The accused, a married man and father of two, was granted bail of R2000 in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Friday 27 May. The case was postponed to Wednesday 29 June to allow the state to consult with the complainant. Bail was granted on condi- tion that he makes no direct or indirect contact with his accuser. The teacher has also been forced to take leave. The name of the school is withheld to conceal the iden- tity of the teacher as he has not yet pleaded to the char- ges. The teacher has been em- ployed at the school since 2008. Teacher accused of rape

support them to reach their full potential,”she says.According to Levy, staying warm is es-
sential to staying healthy, a restful night’ssleep, increased attendance at school andbetter concentration and focus on learning.“In the long term this programme also
helps the teachers, who struggle with basicresources, to focus on laying the foundationfor passionate learners who could changetheir own fortunes and futures,” she says.
To truly experience the power of giving,any individual, school, community or cor-porate company is encouraged to assist.The process of rectifying underresourced
schools relies on normal people living nor-mal lives, from all walks of life, starting todo extraordinary things. Teaching thismes-sage to children is how it genuinely takeshold.Levy is also encouraging groups of
friends to band together to participate.“Snuggle up and host a bring-a-blanket
style event such as a movie night, a souplunch or a coffee/hot chocolate morningwhere everyone brings a blanket or makesa monetary donation as the entrance fee,”she says.“Encourage everyone to make a persona-

agement noticed Karangwa’s art and of-fered to host his first solo exhibition in thecentre. He sold all of his artwork. This ledto a newspaper article in which he men-tioned Cooper as the artist he admired.Cooper read the article and was humbled
by what Karangwa had to say about him.Cooper decided to find Karangwa and in-
troduce himself. “He literally tapped me onthe shoulder and told me who he was. I wasshocked. I couldn’t believe that this was the
man I considered my idol.”The two men chatted for a long time and
Cooper agreed to become his mentor.Cooper says Karangwa is a hugely talent-

Coffee to bridge barriersBreaking communications barriers over
freshly brewed coffee is the order of theday at a new coffee shop in Claremont.
I Love Coffee, South Africa’s first deaf-runcoffee shop, will officially open its doors inCape Town this month. In partnership withTribe Coffee, the entirely deaf-run coffeeshop launches with the aim of breakingcommunication barriers between the hear-ing and the deaf.
The idea is the brainchild of social entre-preneur Gary Hopkins, who explains theshop offers an experience unlike any other,where customers are encouraged to engageverbally as well as visually with the deafstaff. Patrons will be given the opportunityto be taught rudimentary sign language toplace their orders and engage with the staff.
“It’s more than just coffee shop space, it’sabout a mind shift and correcting the per-ception that deaf people are disabled. Deaf-ness isn’t a disease and should be recog-nised as a culture – much like American,Italian, South African etcetera,” he says.
Around 4.5% of South Africa’s total popu-lation is deaf. While South Africa recognis-es 11 official verbal and written languages,
it has yet to recognise South African SignLanguage (SASL), the visual language thatis common across all South African deafpeople. This in turn has deeper social impli-cations as it limits opportunities for terti-ary education and results in high unem-ployment among the deaf.
Hopkins adds that most people know verylittle about deaf culture and even fewer un-derstand it. “We are hoping that by bringingan ordinary everyday experience like or-dering a cup of coffee or a toasted sandwichwith the use of sign language or by serviceexpectation being met, we can bring a betterunderstanding about the capability of thedeaf,” he says.
“The I Love Coffee brand aims to be cool,fun and engaging and is not out to garnera sympathy vote. We specifically chose a funname and incorporated deaf language intothe brand by replacing the heart symbolwith the SASL sign for ‘I Love You’.
“We have had incredible support fromWestern Cape Premier, Helen Zille, whomost don’t know has a deaf sister, as wellas the National Institute for the Deaf whohas assisted us with the recruitment of staff
and are receiving barista training fromTribe Coffee.”
DeafSA, the non-profit organisation thatacts as the national research, informationand community action organisation on be-half of more than 600 000 South Africanswho are culturally and linguistically deaf,have assisted in bringing this project to life.
On choosing the venue, Hopkins pointsout that the decision to launch in a gym inClaremont was a conscious one with a long-term view to expand the national footprintof the brand as well as having to launch ona very tight budget. “This entire project hasbeen self-funded with the assistance of somereally great partners, and – as we get closerto opening – we have other activities thatwill assist us in getting the brand off theground,” Hopkins adds.
Hopkins adds that the coffee shop and the‘I Love Coffee’ brand will help change howthe world engages with the deaf.V The shop will open for business on Monday 6 Juneand is based at X-Body Fitness, The Mews, DraperStreet, Claremont.

Trust to protect musicians’ futuresGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
A legacy of destitute musicians may be atan end with the establishment of a new trustto care for them.
The African Musicians Trust, based inClaremont, will officially launch on Mon-day 20 June to present its aims and visionfor the future.
Glenn Robertson, one of the founders, ex-plains that he was motivated to start thetrust because in recent years too many mu-sicians died penniless after careers thatgave the world some iconic music.
“I realised that something has to be doneto stem the legacy that some of the legendsof our music have to go through,” he says.
“With this trust we want to be part guid-ing and educating existing musicians andthe next generation to empower them to be-come financially stable.
“We want to provide a platform for mar-keting, public relations, events manage-ment, training and networking. We alsowant to provide a medical aid and a provi-dent fund to enable them, in their latteryears, to live with dignity.”
Robertson adds that the history of musicin the Cape was an integral part of the fightfor freedom and must also become historythat is documented and taught at schools.
“Part of our vision is to promote and im-plement music tutoring to primary andhigh schools and also to adult musicianswho were previously disadvantaged and
who did not have an opportunity to studyat tertiary institutions.
“We also want to assist musicians to leavea healthy heritage and a legacy of the worksthat they have accomplished during theirlifetime.

Coffee to bridge barriersBreaking communications barriers over
freshly brewed coffee is the order of theday at a new coffee shop in Claremont.
I Love Coffee, South Africa’s first deaf-runcoffee shop, will officially open its doors inCape Town this month. In partnership withTribe Coffee, the entirely deaf-run coffeeshop launches with the aim of breakingcommunication barriers between the hear-ing and the deaf.
The idea is the brainchild of social entre-preneur Gary Hopkins, who explains theshop offers an experience unlike any other,where customers are encouraged to engageverbally as well as visually with the deafstaff. Patrons will be given the opportunityto be taught rudimentary sign language toplace their orders and engage with the staff.
“It’s more than just coffee shop space, it’sabout a mind shift and correcting the per-ception that deaf people are disabled. Deaf-ness isn’t a disease and should be recog-nised as a culture – much like American,Italian, South African etcetera,” he says.
Around 4.5% of South Africa’s total popu-lation is deaf. While South Africa recognis-es 11 official verbal and written languages,
it has yet to recognise South African SignLanguage (SASL), the visual language thatis common across all South African deafpeople. This in turn has deeper social impli-cations as it limits opportunities for terti-ary education and results in high unem-ployment among the deaf.
Hopkins adds that most people know verylittle about deaf culture and even fewer un-derstand it. “We are hoping that by bringingan ordinary everyday experience like or-dering a cup of coffee or a toasted sandwichwith the use of sign language or by serviceexpectation being met, we can bring a betterunderstanding about the capability of thedeaf,” he says.
“The I Love Coffee brand aims to be cool,fun and engaging and is not out to garnera sympathy vote. We specifically chose a funname and incorporated deaf language intothe brand by replacing the heart symbolwith the SASL sign for ‘I Love You’.
“We have had incredible support fromWestern Cape Premier, Helen Zille, whomost don’t know has a deaf sister, as wellas the National Institute for the Deaf whohas assisted us with the recruitment of staff
and are receiving barista training fromTribe Coffee.”
DeafSA, the non-profit organisation thatacts as the national research, informationand community action organisation on be-half of more than 600 000 South Africanswho are culturally and linguistically deaf,have assisted in bringing this project to life.
On choosing the venue, Hopkins pointsout that the decision to launch in a gym inClaremont was a conscious one with a long-term view to expand the national footprintof the brand as well as having to launch ona very tight budget. “This entire project hasbeen self-funded with the assistance of somereally great partners, and – as we get closerto opening – we have other activities thatwill assist us in getting the brand off theground,” Hopkins adds.
Hopkins adds that the coffee shop and the‘I Love Coffee’ brand will help change howthe world engages with the deaf.V The shop will open for business on Monday 6 Juneand is based at X-Body Fitness, The Mews, DraperStreet, Claremont.

Trust to protect musicians’ futuresGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
A legacy of destitute musicians may be atan end with the establishment of a new trustto care for them.
The African Musicians Trust, based inClaremont, will officially launch on Mon-day 20 June to present its aims and visionfor the future.
Glenn Robertson, one of the founders, ex-plains that he was motivated to start thetrust because in recent years too many mu-sicians died penniless after careers thatgave the world some iconic music.
“I realised that something has to be doneto stem the legacy that some of the legendsof our music have to go through,” he says.
“With this trust we want to be part guid-ing and educating existing musicians andthe next generation to empower them to be-come financially stable.
“We want to provide a platform for mar-keting, public relations, events manage-ment, training and networking. We alsowant to provide a medical aid and a provi-dent fund to enable them, in their latteryears, to live with dignity.”
Robertson adds that the history of musicin the Cape was an integral part of the fightfor freedom and must also become historythat is documented and taught at schools.
“Part of our vision is to promote and im-plement music tutoring to primary andhigh schools and also to adult musicianswho were previously disadvantaged and
who did not have an opportunity to studyat tertiary institutions.
“We also want to assist musicians to leavea healthy heritage and a legacy of the worksthat they have accomplished during theirlifetime.
“For the new generation we want to assistand enable musicians to record, produce, re-produce and host their own CD projects andto ensure protection of the copyrighting oftheir lyrics and music.”
The launch takes place on Monday 20June at the Kaleidoscope Cafe, 56 MainRoad, Claremont from at 18:30.V For more information and invitation to attend thelaunch call 021 674 5761 or 082 296 6100 or go totheir Facebook page www.facebook.com/african-mu-sicians-trust.

RED CROSS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Giving teenagersa place to healComfort comes first for young cancer pa-
tients at the Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital.Often isolated within themedical setting,
adolescents and young adults with cancerface unique challenges.Traditionally, cancer patients fall into
two distinct groups: adults and children.“Teenagers in paediatric units struggle
with crying babies and an environmentwhich does not recognise their need to havesome autonomy,” says Professor Alan Da-vidson, head of haematology and oncologyat the facility.“Other adolescents and young adults in
adult units are equally vulnerable to aliena-tion in services that are not set up to dealwith their psychosocial needs.”Cape Town charity Ari’s Cancer Founda-
tion developed a youth booth specificallyaimed at theneeds of adolescents andyoungadults to not only keep them busy while re-ceiving treatment, but entertained too.The booth was officially launched at the
hospital on Tuesday 24 May.
The first of its kind in Africa, the R70 000Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) YouthBooth is a safe haven for adolescent andyoung adult patients providing a comforta-ble workspace and recreational area for pa-tients to relax andbe entertainedwhile theyare undergoing treatment at the hospital.It is a space they can call their own and
to which they can escape from their condi-tion for some timewhilewithin the hospitalsetting.“The idea is to give young adults a com-
fortable area to relax and be entertainedwhile they are undergoing treatment,” saysAlan Jansen of the Ari’s Cancer Founda-tion.“This area is also designed to inspire the
type of colourful and positive energy thatwe hope to give to the young adults, ratherthan a typical scenario where they tend tobe consumed with the negative thoughts ofthe treatment.”Ari’s Cancer Foundation aims to set up
similar AYA Youth Booths in oncologyunits around South Africa.

Three patients from Groote Schu-ur Hospital, who have been wait-ing for a hip replacement for morethan three years, were able to walkout of hospital and into their newlives on crutches last Wednesday.They were the first to benefit
from a partnership between pri-vate sector partners and the West-ern Cape Government Health De-partment that aims to address thewaiting list for joint replacements.Called The Joint Project, it funds
a single theatre day in a state hos-pital allowing for four joint surger-ies in theatre.This time around one of the pa-
tients desperately needed a bilater-al hip replacement, meaning bothhips, so in this event three patientswere operated, although four sur-geries were done.The three patientswho benefited
are all younger than 50 and havelived limited lives for some yearsnow.Through the additional funding,
this initiative also allows surgeonsin training the exposure to assistwith or do joint surgeries.Surgeons in training need to do
at least 40 joint surgeries towardstheir surgery qualification.In this manner the project also
addresses the challenge of qualify-ing doctors for medical practice.The three patients who benefit-
ted from the surgery were:. Deon de Bruyn (47) from Lake-
side who suffered from a hip de-formity since childhood and thepainful onset of arthritis in histwenties.He travels every day by train
from his flat in Lakeside to hisplace of employment as a security
guard in Ndabeni.Pain is a part of his daily life, tak-
ing batches of painkillers threetimes a day.Since the beginning of this year
he used a walking stick to supporthis gait, and to help him get on thetrain.The bilateral hip replacement,
meaning both hips were replaced,will relieve him of years of debili-tating pain and within three
months he will be able to have anormal life, even taking up sport.
. Anthea Jacobs, only 37, is ahousewife from Ottery sufferingfrom avascular necrosis (AVN) ofthe femoral head for the past 10years.AVN is a pathologic process that
results from the interruption ofblood supply to the bone.After 10 years of a life in pain, Ja-
cobs will return home and have anactive life with her family again.She is married and has four chil-dren.
. Jasper Hartog (58) lives inHout Bay and is also relieved tohave had a hip replacement afteryears of pain caused by arthritis.The patients were admitted to
Groote Schuur hospital on Thurs-day 19 May, and underwent thesurgeries on Friday 20 May.Physiotherapy plays a signifi-
cant role in the recovery time andthe patient’s ability to walk nor-mally again.These patients will undergo in-
tense physiotherapy for the nexttwo to threemonths, at which timethey should be able to lead normallives.“We have seen an increase in pa-
tients requiring joint operations,
but the demand and pressure tohave these operations done out-strip the available capacity andfunds at our hospitals,” says DrBhavna Patel, CEO of Groote Schu-ur hospital.“However, through interven-
tions and partnerships like these,we are able to help a few more pa-tients to live normal lives again.”The partners joining hands for
the project are the Western CapeGovernment Department ofHealth, Groote Schuur Hospital,the Joint Care Trust, Johnson &Johnson and Drs Schnetler, Cor-bett & Partners.The project is facilitated by
Spear Health, recently establishedby former Western Cape Ministerof Health, Theuns Botha, to sourcefunding in the private sector forvulnerable state patients who falloutside of government’s budgetnet.In order to have one theatre day
per month, Spear Health needsmore funders to join hands for TheJoint Project, and invites corpo-rates or individuals to contactthem for this cause.V For more information on the partnershipor to become invloved, call Hélène Ross-ouw on 082 771 8834.

Fish Hoek-based surfski star Jasper Mockéraced onto the podium at the fabled MauiJimMolokaiChallenge inHawaii onSunday29 May, finishing third and completing anall-SouthAfrican podium.The racewas heldin very toughhotweather andona flat oceanthat offered the paddlers no assistance onthe 53km crossing between the islands ofMolokai and Oahu.A delighted but exhausted Mocké said
from the finish at the Maunalua Beach Parkthat hewas thrilledwith the result at the endof a nail biting, tough slog that quickly sawthe top five paddlers breaking away at the
front. “It was a hot, flat, tough, brutal racefor me,” said the Euro Steel/Epic Kayaksace. “Five of us – myself, Hank (McGregor),Cory (Hill), Sean (Rice) andClint (Robinson)all found our own niche, and it really wasa story of five guys doing their own thing.“To do well today you needed to be effi-
cient and try and use whatever the oceangave you – which wasn’t much – and maybefrom about twenty kays from the finish youcould start catchingbumps, but theyweren’tlinking so you had to work hard to get anybenefit.“I was sitting in third/fourth most of the
way and Clint (Robinson) and I were reallyracing for fourth place. I managed to comepast him with about ten kays to go,” saidMocké.He said that his shot atmaking thepodium
camewhen defending championCoryHill ofAustralia, who was dicing with eventualwinner Hank McGregor for the lead, madea mistake at the reef at China Walls, withinsight of the finish.Results:1. Hank McGregor (RSA) 3:45:342.Sean Rice (RSA) 3:47:013.Jasper Mocké (RSA) 3:48:19
