She has called on the authorities to take action. “As a ratepayer I am really despondent about the attitude of the authorities. The grass was last cut very early in the year, left for the winter season and has still not been cut again. It looks unsightly and untidy,” says Jeanette Stoffels. Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says they understand Stoffels’s concern and will do their utmost to address the matter. “Our focus and resources must of necessi- ty cover an extensive network comprising 489km of railway track and 123 stations. Met- rorail is a service of Prasa Rail, a division of the parastatal Prasa – we are obliged to operate responsibly with the approved fund- ing allocated to us,” she says. Scott says the clearing of rail reserves is done twice a year. However, the contract does not make provision for “touch ups” in between. The crux of continuous clearing relates is the availability of funds, she says. With un- limited funding, everything would be possi- ble. “Where funding proves insufficient for the extent of the need, our various customer service managers collaborate with their lo- cal stakeholders to organise regular clean- up programmes in their respective areas. “The responsible area manager has been alerted to organise an interim clean-up,” she says. Scott says of necessity any maintenance or clearance of rubble or weeds are primarily aimed at keeping the railway tracks clear and safe for rail operations. “Vegetation control (mowing and/or spraying) happens during our normal clean- up cycle twice a year,” she says. Stoffels says some of the grass has been cut in the meantime, but not all the grass along Castletown Road. “The grass directly opposite Wittebome station has been cut, but not further down the railway line toward Park Road.” Scott urges residents to report dumping to the City. If the perpetrators can be identified and charged they run the risk of being found guilty of an illegal dumping offence, she says, as illegal dumping is a municipal of- fence in terms of bylaws and also environ- mental legislation.

Colourful kites aone-day displayMAGRIET THERON
@magrietron
Spectacular kites, like a 30m worm and afamily of octopi designed by Parow kite
maker Ian Islip, adorned the skies of Muiz-enbergat the 21st InternationalKiteFestivalon Saturday.
Kiters from four countries (South Africa,Germany, the Netherlands and the UnitedKingdom) showed off their colourful crea-tions at what was supposed to be a two-dayfestival with kite-making workshops, com-petitions and a mass fly.
But the host and beneficiary of what hasbecome Africa’s biggest kite festival, CapeMental Health, suffered a major financialblow on Sunday when gale-force winds andheavy rains led to the cancellation of the sec-ond day of the festivities.
Cape Mental Health’s deputy director,Vimla Pillay, says because of the suddenchange in the weather an anticipated in-come of at least R300 000 has been lost. Thedecision to cancel followed the event safetyofficer’s directive.
The funds raised at this annual event areused to help uplift the lives of children andadults affected bymental disabilities by pro-viding vital mental health services.“The Kite Festival is our biggest fundrais-
ing and awareness event of the year. We hada wonderful day on Saturday,” says Pillay.
Cape Mental Health is South Africa’s old-est mental health organisation and has beenproviding mental health services to adultsand children in disadvantaged communitiesin the province for 102 years.

Nominate crime fighters for new awardsOne of the chief ways to recognise the im-portant role that neighbourhood watchesplay in providing an additional safety netfor communities is by awarding them forthis outstanding community service.
This is according to Hylton Mitchell,chairperson of the Neighbourhood WatchAwards committee.“The Neighbourhood Watch Awards are
not a contest betweenneighbourhoodwatchvolunteers or associations, but is rather anopportunity to recognise the tireless workbeing done by dedicated volunteers and ac-tive neighbourhood watch groups in thefight against increasing crime levels in ourrespective communities,” he says.
Mitchell says the inaugural awards recog-
nise these dedicated individuals and is aplatform to shine a light on the often darkcorners the volunteers operate in.“Accordingly, we invite neighbourhood
watch formations, members and the publictonominate outstandingvolunteers and for-mations in seven official categories, includ-ingMemberof theYear, theSafeCityAwardand the Community Cohesion Award,” hesays.
Nominees should be registered neigh-bourhoodwatch volunteers, who are part ofa registered watch structure, communitypolice forum or a crime-fighting forum reg-istered with local police in Cape Town.
The awards website at www.nhw-awards.co.za provides a list of criteria for
each category.Nominations may be submitted using a
web form and includes the nominee’s name,current affiliation and contact information,as well as a 200-word summary explainingwhy he deserves to win the award in a par-ticular category.
The deadline for nominations is Friday 13November at 17:00.
The handing out of the awardswill be pre-ceded by a neighbourhood watch educationweek from Monday 23 to Friday 27 Novem-ber as an opportunity to engage the publicon watch activities and increasing publicsafety in Cape Town.The awards ceremony will be held in the
city centre on 27 November.

Pupil tops UCTSaturday classesASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
A Grade 12 pupil at Witte-bome High School has
topped her class at a week-end school programme heldat UCT.Daniella Bushiri enrolled
in the UCT Shawco Satur-day School Programme atthe beginning of this year.Deputy principal of Wit-
tebome High School Ray-mond Trew says the pro-gramme runs for 40 weeksand they cover subjects likeMathematics, EnglishHome Language, PhysicalSciences, Life Sciences andAccounting.“Fifty previously disad-
vantaged schools partici-pate and217Grade 12pupilswere enrolled in January,”he says.Daniella topped this class as she received
top awards for EnglishHome Language andPhysical Sciences. In Mathematics she re-ceived the award for most improved pupiland came second in the subject.She is one of a few participants who re-
corded 100% attendance.“To add to this accolade, she topped her
matric class at school and took academichonours, our highest award for all her sub-jects – evenAfrikaans First Additional Lan-guage,” Trew says.Bushiri says she surprised herself with
her achievements throughout the pro-gramme at UCT.
“I never expected to do so well becauseI went in with a mindset that I would notbe able to achieve what I wanted to. OnceI stopped underestimating myself and mycapabilities I surprised myself,” she says.She says her parents keep her motivated
and are the ones who have always support-ed and empowered her and her siblings.“I appreciate their support as I am not
someone who wants to stagnate. I want toachieve my goals and therefore when itcomes to my schoolwork I work hard,” shesays.Bushiri hopes to study Biological Tech-
nology or Chemical Engineering next year.

Lions help girls stay in schoolWhen the members of the Lions
Club of Tokai heard about theplight of schoolgirls who are losingup to 50 school days a year becausethey don’t have personal hygieneitems, they stepped in to help.
Jules Blake, a club member, saysthere is currently huge publicityand awareness of university stu-dents around Cape Town, andmany students are missing teach-ing days as they protest for moreaffordable tertiary education forthemselves and future students.
But we must know, Blake says,a situation continues in primaryand high schools which doesn’t getas much attention. Girls are,“through no fault of their own”,missing about 50 school days peryear because their parents cannotafford personal hygiene items forthem.
“And this is not a recent situa-tion, it has been ongoing for manyyears,” she says.
The Lions members want to re-duce the worry for the pupils,schools and parents.
“Thanks to regular donations ofsanitary pads, Tokai Lions havebeen able to visit two local commu-nity schools so far, Capricorn Pri-mary School in Vrygrond andMuizenberg High School, and handover donations of sanitary pads tothe school for distribution to theyoung women at the school whenand as needed to avoid them hav-ing to miss school days,” Blakesays.
She says recentactivities haveshown that educa-tion is very high onSouth Africans’ listof priorities, and“this need by theyoung women in thecommunity isthankfully some-thing which TokaiLions felt they couldhelp address and as-sist with fairly easi-ly”.
“There are somany needs in ourcommunity, and asthey are brought toour attention we doour very best to tryand assist,” saysTokai Lions presi-dent Charles Flana-gan.
“The situation ofyoung women miss-ing around 50 daysof school each yearbecause they arelacking something,which many youngwomen take forgranted, is a situa-tion we felt passion-ately about andwhich thankfullywe were able, as aservice organisation, to step upand assist with.”V Any reader who would like to donate per
sonal hygiene items for distribution toschools can contact Blake on084 060 6155.
Tokai Lions president Charles Flanagan presents personal hygiene items,along with stationery and art supplies, to Angela Katschke (centre) of theButterfly Art Project in Vrygrond and Bongiwe Majambe of CapricornPrimary School, also in Vrygrond.
Delicia Arendse of Muizenberg High School acceptsa donation of sanitary pads for the schoolgirls fromTokai Lions president Charles Flanagan.

part of the monthly First Thursday pro-gramme.The market aims to ignite the creative

Full list of places to light your rocketsFollowing a review of designated sites forthe lighting of fireworks, the list of ap-
proved sites across the city has increasedfrom eight to 12.The City of Cape Town has approved the
12 sites for the discharge of fireworks duringGuyFawkes, Diwali andNewYear’s Eve cel-ebrations.The listwasapproved in consulta-tion with the various subcouncils after a re-view of existing sites, which included com-munity feedback and looking at challengesof previous years.
Road, MacassarSmith appeals to the public to use fire-
works responsibly to prevent injuries andalso unnecessary inconvenience to thoseresidents who do not participate in such ac-tivities.Areas that allow fireworksmust beat least
100m from buildings, roads and railwaylines and at least 20m from telephone andpower lines, trees or otheroverheadobstruc-tions, they must be at least 500m from anypetroleumdepot, explosivesmagazine or gascylinder, cars must be parked at least 100maway from the firing point and all entrancesand emergency exits must be identified andmaintained.“A number of additional sites were pro-
posed by ward councillors, but these did notmeet the safety criteria.“We have also removed TheoMarais Park
in Milnerton from the list of sites followingobjections from the public,” says JP Smith,mayoral committee member for safety andsecurity. He says Sunrise Beach in Muizen-berg has also been removed, in part due tothe traffic congestion.The designated fireworks areas will be pa-
trolled by City law enforcement and metropolice as well as a fire inspector.V Anyone with information about the illegal sale oruse of fireworks can report it to the metro police callcentre on 0860 765 423. General emergencies can bedirected to the City’s public emergency call centre on107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.

It’s that time of year when men pack away their razorsand start growing – facial hair, that is.And while grooming your moustache to be the best it
canbe is the aim for thenextmonth, it’s vital to rememberthe reason behind the movement.The simple truth is that it’s not a competition to see
who has the biggest beard.The point of Movember, now an international annual
movement, is to create awareness of men’s health duringthe month of November.Originally to getmen talking about prostate cancer, the
movement has now grown to encompass testicular can-cer, mental health and physical inactivity.This year, men are being encouraged to get moving for
the entire month to tackle the latter.So stop looking in the mirror, round up your friends
and enjoy a friendly game of sport.And instead of bragging over your ’tash while having
a beer with the boys afterwards, take the time to talkabout your health issues.One in every 23 South African men will develop pros-
tate cancer in his lifetime, while testicular cancer re-mains the most common cancer in men.As many as 510 000 men die from suicide globally each
year – which equates to one a minute – and over threemillions deaths each year are attributable to insufficientphysical activity.Growing impressive facial hair is not enough – it’s time
to tell your friends why you’re growing a moustache.Instead of just admiring each others’ hair growth, it’s
time to dealwith the big issues: Share your personal expe-riences of stress, anxiety and depression and open upabout your struggles with weight loss.It’s time to talk about the fear you felt at visiting the
doctor and encourage each other to get regular medicalcheck-ups.
Privileged classmade smart choicesLast week’s editorial comment (“Privi-lege”, People’s Post, 27 October) refers:The so-called privileged class got wherethey are by making smart decisions.One of the first was to elect leaders
who were competent instead of corrupt.The other was that they didn’t have
more children than they could providefor and those children had father figuresso that they didn’t have to join a gang totry and form an identity. This has led todrugs and violence. Are the so-calledprivileged to blame for that? Thisparticular social evil isn’t just a SouthAfrican problem but is a problem wherea society shirks its responsibility asparents.So now we come to education. Every-
one wants to be taught in his mothertongue. Unfortunately the mother tonguefor the majority is a recent phenomenonas it wasn’t until the 1820s that reverendMoffat of the London Missionary Societyactually created a written language fornon-white people.So more poor choices will eventually
lead to more poor people.As it is, the privileged class carry the
burden of providing RDP homes, freeelectricity and free water (why do youthink we pay so much?). Many pension-ers are being forced out of their homesbecause they can’t afford the rates thatgo up every year.What more are we supposed to do?And what a disaster our tertiary
education has become. When the minerswanted a 10% increase most peoplethought that was okay, but how are oureducators to get an increase if fees don’tgo up? The competent ones will findposts overseas and our universities willwither.Far too many people want to go to
university as they think this is the wayto a job where no actual work is in-volved. Traditionally, only a smallpercentage of people (the really bright)went to university; the rest got jobs.Unfortunately, over the past 20 years theeducation system has been a completefailure and the vast majority will onlyever be able to do menial tasks as theyaren’t able to read and write.

Neighbours can help on rubbish dayI have read the letter “Just minutesto clean up rubbish” by Lynn vanLeeve (People’s Post, 27 October) .May I take a moment to share what
we as residents do in Welcome Estate,Athlone.We have a very successful “bin
buddy” system, which basicallyentails: If you are working leave yourbin with a neighbour on his premises.Your neighbour who is home will
take out your bin on arrival of thecollection trucks and bring it onto hispremises until you get home.
This will alleviate unwantedvisitors in the road, leave zero messto clean up and avoid bin theft andthose characters who are there to seewho is home and who not. This willlead to fewer burglaries in the area.It is also a great way to get to
know who our neighbours are. Highwalls, electric fencing, big dogs, etc.are cutting off our neighbourlyinteractions.It is worth trying.

Guy Fawkes– worth it?Recently our neighbourhood has beendisturbed by the sound of firecrackers.This is an annual practice leading up
to Guy Fawkes Day on 5 November, aday that has its origin overseas and tomy mind has no importance in ourcommunities for a number of reasons.For one, already people and the poor
animals are traumatised by the sound offirecrackers as with some you cannotdifferentiate if from gunshots.Another reason on the day is that a
number of children stay away fromschool out of fear that mischievous oneswill smear them with old paint, eggs or,in some cases, dangerous objects betweentheir fingers. They have no regard if theyspoil your clothes or injure you.Last year I witnessed a young parent
with an axe in hand going after someyoungsters because his small child wassmeared as she was standing innocentlyat the gate.The morning after you notice a lot of
paint puddles and other markings on theroad, electric boxes and other council orprivate property, a complete eyesorewhich leads to many rands to “fix”.I know there is a Council bylaw that
prohibits these activities or the selling ofit and that it can happen at certainallocated areas but the law enforcementagencies are under-resourced, not proact-ive and simply don’t have the capacityfor it. People still sell these things atshops or stalls.I think the biggest factor in bringing
this down lies squarely at the feet ofparents.For example, we never bought our
children any toy guns or firecrackers.Admittedly, they are no angels but it wasa conscious decision as responsibleparents so that the positive practice canbe continued when they are parents.I am quite sure that if every parent
decides not to give in, we can lead amuch quieter life during this traumatisedtime.

pate, including regional teams from Gaut-eng, the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and theEastern Cape, as well as a large turnout oflocal riders.“Western Cape Cycling is delighted that
