De Lille says she is certain that Juanita Sol-omon’s parents mademany sacrifices in or-der to acquire the land, before they wereforced to start their lives over again, greatlydisadvantaged.“We will therefore give them a 10-year
property rates holiday from the date of thetransfer of the property into their name.Wewill support and prioritise their building
plans once they have submitted these to theCity.“We will also provide assistance as they
embark on their planning process,” shesays.Solomon says that although they experi-
enced many hold-ups before they reachedtheir end goal she wanted to persevere.“We did not have stumbling blocks, but
rocks. My parents had paved a good life forus and I wanted to do this for them and myfamily,” she says.She feels her parents had provided for
them so unselfishly and she did not want tolet them down.“To my family I want to say that we must
treasure what we have and keep the legacyof the Solomon family alive,” she says.

Civic centre made more secureASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
The fence around the Retreat civic centrehad been replaced, making the council-owned property more secure.A new sliding gate has also been installed
at the main entrance.The fence was erected last week after it
was found that the old gate had been vandal-ised over a period of time and needed to bereplaced.WardcouncillorKevinSouthgate says the
old fencewasbeing stolenpiecebypiece andleft the centre at risk of being broken into.“The centre has been broken into several
times, although there was security. It wasimportant that a new fence be erected to se-cure the premises in an effort to deter crimi-nal activity,” he says.He further says there were also many
complaints fromresidents or thepublicwhohired the facility.“Those hiring the facility felt vulnerable
when they were on the premises as therewere people wandering on the propertywhen theywere hosting functions. They didnot feel comfortablewith the broken fence,”he says.Southgate has also requested that addi-
tional trees be planted at the centre to beau-tify the space and to uplift the area.He has also sent a request to the City that
a garden be established in which indige-
nous plants and flowers are planted.“There is someone doing the mainte-
nance of the property employed by the Citywho will be able to assist with the garden,but if anyone is interested in assisting withthe establishment of a garden they aremorethan welcome to do so,” he says.Southgate says it would be great if resi-
dents got involved in keeping the spaceclean and helping to uplift the communityand space. The facility is available for any-one to use, but it is important that peopletake responsibility too.“Join your voice to mine and let’s trans-
form the area into an attractive space forour communities,” he urges.
Part of the new fence is made up of palisade fencing to ensure the facility is visible from theroad.
SOUTHFIELD
New skate rampat Prince GeorgeASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Skaters in Southfield can now practisetheir skills at Prince George Park, as a
new skateboard rampwas recently installedby the City of Cape Town.The installationwas done a fewweeks ago
in an effort to enhance the facility and tomake it more user-friendly to everyone whoenjoys going to the park.Ward councillor Kevin Southgate says the
park is open to locals, all residents from sur-rounding areas and children who are inter-ested in skateboarding.“There are a number of young people who
skate in the area and now they can practisetheir skills in a safe environment where theequipment is available to them,” he says.He hopes the ramp will add value to the
youth and will encourage more young peo-ple to take part in outdoor activities.“There are even children who come from
Parkwood who skate at the Southfield parkand I am sure everyone is enjoying the newaddition to the facility. There are other playequipment for children, but the skateboard
ramp just adds another dimension,” he says.In the past the park had been quiet and not
used regularly by locals or residents of thesurrounding area because it only had a lim-ited amount of play equipment. But he nowhopes to see the community make use of thepark more often.“The park is fairly safe as it is enclosed
and there are residentswhohave the respon-sibility for opening and closing the park,” hesays.The park gates are unlocked in the early
hours of the morning and locked at night toensure that it is well-maintained and to de-ter criminal activity.“We have had no issues with people sleep-
ing there, dumping unwanted items or crim-inal activity, as residents look after the parkand ensure the children are safe when mak-ing using of the facility,” he says.Southgate further states that the addition
to the park’s choice of activitieswill hopeful-ly encourage people to engage with one an-other and to get to know their neighbours.“The park is not only for young people but
for all in the community to enjoy and I en-courage residents tomake use of it,” he says.
A new skateboard ramp at Prince George Park can now be enjoyed by local skaters.
Following a review of designated sites forthe discharge 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 dur-ing Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year’sEve celebrations. The list was approved inconsultation with the various subcouncilsafter a review of existing sites, which in-cluded community feedback and looking atchallenges experienced in previous years.“A number of additional sites were pro-
posed by ward councillors, but these didnot meet the safety criteria and so we hadto reject them.“We have also removed Theo Marais
Park in Milnerton from the list of sites fol-lowing objections from thepublic,” says JPSmith, mayoral committee member forsafety and security. He says Sunrise Beachin Muizenberg has also been removed, inpart due to the traffic congestion.
Approved places. Tourism Centre, Athens Road, TableView beachfront. Wesfleur sports field, Reygersdal Drive,Atlantis. Bishop Lavis sports field, Lavis Drive,Bishop Lavis. Metropolitan sports grounds, MelkhoutStreet, Bonteheuwel.Delft Central sports grounds,MainRoad,Delft. Swartklip sports complex, SwartklipRoad, Mitchell’s Plain.

Lions help girlsstay in schoolWhen the members of the Lions Club of
Tokai heard about the plight of school-girls who are losing up to 50 days a year inschool because they don’t have personal hy-giene items, they stepped in to help.
Jules Blake, a club member, says there iscurrently huge publicity and awareness ofuniversity students around Cape Town, andmany students are missing teaching days asthey protest for more affordable tertiary ed-ucation for themselves and future students.
But we must know, Blake says, a situationcontinues in primary and high schoolswhich doesn’t get as much attention. Girlsare, “through no fault of their own”, miss-ing about 50 school days per year becausetheir parents cannot afford personal hy-giene items for them.
“And this is not a recent situation, it hasbeen ongoing for many years,” she says.
The Lions members want to reduce theworry for the pupils, schools and parents.
“Thanks to regular donations of sanitarypads, Tokai Lions have been able to visittwo local community schools so far, Capri-corn Primary School in Vrygrond and
Muizenberg High School, and hand over do-nations of sanitary pads to the school fordistribution to the young women at theschool when and as needed to avoid themhaving to miss school days,” Blake says.
She says recent activities have shownthat education is very high on South Afri-cans’ list of priorities, and “this need by theyoung women in the community is thank-fully something which Tokai Lions felt theycould help address and assist with fairlyeasily”.
“There are so many needs in our commu-nity, and as they are brought to our atten-tion we do our very best to try and assist.The situation of young women missingaround 50 days of school each year becausethey are lacking something, which manyyoung women take for granted, is a situa-tion we felt passionately about and whichthankfully we were able, as a service orga-nisation, to step up and assist with,” saysTokai Lions president Charles Flanagan.V Any reader who would like to donate personal hy-giene items for distribution to schools can contactBlake on 084 060 6155.

@FebAstrid
Police are investigating the murder oftwo young people in Lavender Hill.The victims, a 22-year-old man and 16-
year-old boy, were killed on Friday 6 Oc-tober at about 02:00.Warrant Officer John Bartlett, spokes-
person of Steenberg police station, sayspolice responded to a reported shootingincident in Urfield Road, Lavender Hilland on arrival found the victims withgunshot wounds to their bodies.
Declared dead“The 22-year-old victim had a gunshot
wound to his head and the 16-year-oldvictim had a gunshot wound to histhroat. Both victims were identified bytheirmothers andwere declared dead onthe scene,” Bartlett says.A case ofmurderwas opened for inves-
tigation. No arrests have been made.Anyone with information is asked to
call the investigating officer, detectiveConstable Mark Lukas at Steenberg po-lice, on 021 702 9000 or Crime Stop on08600 10111.
Guy FawkesMeanwhile, police warn that they will
have zero tolerance for anyone violatingthe prescribed conditions for Guy Fawk-es Day, which takes place on Thursday.Bartlett reminds residents that there
are designated areas where members ofthe community can set off their fire-
works.“The setting off of firecrackers in a res-
idential area is illegal and those violat-ing this conditionwill be prosecuted,” hesays.Bartlett says with the current gang vi-
olence it is difficult to distinguish be-tween the sound of gunshots and fire-crackers.“The gangsters use this opportunity to
shoot randomly,” he warns.Community members are encouraged
to report any illegal activities and the fir-ing of fireworks in a residential area tothe police.
Be vigilantThe community is also asked to be
aware of their surroundings at all timesas robberies take place – in particular inJoe Marks Boulevard, at the traffic ro-bots inPrinceGeorgeDrive andespecial-ly at the canal between Prince GeorgeDrive and Sonata Street.Other hotspots for robberies are in
Lavender Hill, Steenberg, Heathfield,Cafda and Retreat.“The robberies occur when people are
on their way to and fromwork. The com-munity is urged to walk in groups andto report any suspicious characters tothe police. Refrain from engaging gang-sters with firearms as a life is more im-portant than property,” he says.V Anyone with information can contact Steenbergpolice on 021 702 9000 or Crime Stop on08600 10111. All information will be treated ashighly confidential.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causesof death among women. Systematic ap-proaches to early detection, diagnosis andtreatmentmust be implemented to improveoutcomes.“I would like to encourage females, as
well asmales, to get screened for breast can-cer as early as possible. Early detection isvital to get onto treatment thatwill improvethe prognosis,” saysDrNomafrenchMbom-bo, provincial minister of health.“Recently, we have seen an increase in
males diagnosed with cancer. If you have ahistory of breast cancer in the family,please go to your nearest facility to getscreened. The screening services are alsooffered through initiatives like Pink Drive,who visit Mitchell’s Plain Hospital andGroote Schuur Hospital regularly.”In 2013 therewere nomen diagnosedwith
breast cancer but since last year thereseems to be an increase in men and youngwoman getting breast cancer. Last year,three men between the ages of 45 and 90were diagnosed with breast cancer.So far this year eight men between the
ages of 45 and 85 have already been diag-nosed with breast cancer.Family history plays an important role in
contracting the disease. Especially first de-gree relatives whowere diagnosed at a rela-tively young age are important to mentionto your doctor. The signs are the same formen and women: a breast lump with skinchanges and/or a nipple discharge.
Signs and symptomsThere are specific signs or symptoms you
should look out for. Themost common com-plaint is that of a lump in the breast. Theselumps are often not painful.Other signs may include a bloody nipple
discharge, skin changes and palpable
lymph nodes in the underarm. Early breastcancers may be picked up by ultrasound ormammography before a lump can be felt.
Early detection is vitalForwomen,monthly breast self-examina-
tion two days after the last day of your peri-od is the most important screening methodand costs nothing. If you are not sure howto performa self-examination, askyour doc-tor to show you how.Women over the age of 45 should consider
going for regular mammography. Youngerwomenhavedenser breast tissue andwouldbenefit more from an ultrasound examina-tion than a mammogram.If you have a strong family history of
breast cancer, consider talking to your doc-tor about developing a breast-screeningprogramme. A simple monthly breast self-exam is suggested to check your ownbreasts for lumps.
TreatmentIf detected early, breast cancer patients
nowhave an excellent prognosis. No two in-dividuals are the same, though, and manyfactors will influence survival, includingthe age of the patient, tumour characteris-tics, the stage of the disease and the treat-ment plan chosen by the patient.Once you are diagnosed, several treat-
ment options are available to you.
PreventionThere are many measures that minimise
the risk of contracting the disease.. Healthy diet with a normal weight. Exercise. Stop smoking. Use alcohol in moderation. Have your children before the age of 30if possible and breastfeed.

course started out in 1996 as a simple, singleprogramme to help smaller NPOs with theirgrant application process. The organisationrealised, however, that while NPOs neededto access funding to survive, they alsoneededeven greater efficiencies and better struc-tures to ensure they could make a sustaina-ble impact in their communities.“We soon realised that more was needed
than completing an application form,” hesays.“We also needed to raise awareness about
the financial and social responsibility thatgoes hand-in-hand with receiving and spend-
ing donors’ funding.”Currently ten courses are offered, ranging
from Basics in Organisational Managementthrough to Fundraising for Beginners andProject Management, and from Governanceto Financial Literacy, and a lot more in be-tween.“The NPOs understand that financial sus-
tainability is not the only prerequisite for or-ganisational resilience and sustainability,”says Davids.“Management capability, leadership abili-
ty and the implementation of good govern-ance principles are also required to run anorganisation efficiently.”Community Chest’s capacity building
training course provides aunique opportuni-ty for organisations to expand or leveragetheir institutional or communal capacity. Ithelps build integrity into their programmesand allows for accurate and credible report-ing on their interventions.Davids points out that many people start
organisations in response to a communityneed, and while it is done with a lot of “heartand passion” this was often unmatched bythe required management capabilities.At the graduation ceremony, provincial
minister of social development Albert Fritzaddressed graduates, saying the departmentwould continue to support CommunityChest’s projects.He emphasised the importance of partner-
ships between government and the publicsector.

As many as 400 South Africans suffer astroke every day. Strokes are the thirdleading cause of death in the WesternCape and one of the leading causes of dis-ability in the country.Jenny Hendry, CEO of the Western
Cape Rehabilitation Centre (WCRC)based in Lentegeur, says strokes resultin high mortality rates, but also leave al-most half of survivors chronically disa-bled.During the last financial year, the
WCRC admitted 755 patients and treated9880 patients at the specialised outpa-tient clinics of the facility. According toHendry, a third of admissions werecaused by strokes.“More than 300 of the patients admit-
ted to our facility last year suffered astroke or cerebral vascular accident.This is avery small reflectionof thenum-ber of stroke victims treated in WesternCape-based acute facilities or districthospitals and then discharged home forfurthermanagement in the community,”she says.Dr Helen Sammons, medical services
manager at the WCRC, says strokesmainly occur in two ways.“A stroke or cerebral vascular acci-
dent is caused by an interruption of theblood supply to the brain. Most of thetime, this is due to thromboembolic dis-ease – known as a clot – in 80% of pa-tients. Haemorrhage (bleeding into thebrain) accounts for the remaining 20%ofstrokes. A stroke can be mimicked byother health conditions such as infec-tions, for example tuberculosis andHIV/Aids, tumours, abscesses and metabolicstates such as low blood glucose,” shesays.“Thromboses, a slow build-up of a clot
within the brain caused bydamage to the
blood vessel wall, is the most commoncause of stroke. Diabetes, hypertension(highbloodpressure), raised cholesterol,neurosyphilis, HIV, smoking or in-creased blood viscosity (thickness of theblood, causing it to clot easily as in can-cer or if dehydrated) can contribute tothe formation of blood clots in the body.”Hendry says strokes are most preva-
lent for men in their fifties and womenin their sixties, but the WCRC is seeingmore younger patients in their twentiesand thirties suffering strokes, which isoften associated with HIV/Aids.
PreventionSammons highlights that 60% of those
who suffer a stroke die or become de-pendent.Sammons offers the following recom-
mendations:. Stop smoking. Maintain a healthy weight.. Perform physical activity for at least30 minutes daily.. Avoid foods high in salt and fat. Main-tain a high fibre diet and eat fruit andvegetables.. Consume less than 2 units of alcoholper day. Manage and control your diabetes,cholesterol and high blood pressure
How to test a person for stroke. Face:Ask theperson to smile.Does oneside of the face droop?. Arms: Ask the person to raise botharms. Does one arm drift downward?. Speech:Ask the person to repeat a sim-ple phrase. Is his speech slurred orstrange?. Time: The first four hours are critical.If you observe any of the above signs,seek medical help immediately.

1000km for ahand to hold on toTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
TrudaTurner cycled fromKakamas in theNorthern Cape to Rondebosch to inspire
and empower others to do good and raisefunds for children with cancer.Arriving at the Red Cross War Memorial
Children’s Hospital after cycling the1000kmdistance, shewas joinedbyother cy-clists and hosted a party for some of theyoung patients at the hospital.Her husband and brother accompanied
and helped her on the trip. The funds raisedwill be managed by My Child Has CancerTrust (MCHCT).Turner was motivated to do something
for others after she saw her sister-in-lawsuffer terribly from cancer. Her last wordsas she lay on her death bed pushed Turnerto get on the bike.“‘If I can get out of this bed, I will do some-
thing for God and my fellow man.’ Becauseof what she said I was determined to dosomething good for mankind,” Turner,from Keimoes, says.The decision to raise funds for this partic-
ular trust was inspired by a friendwho ben-efited from the trust while her daughter re-ceived cancer treatment.
MCHCT was started by Deirdre Taylorand two other mothers to honour their chil-drenwho had cancer. She says she felt a gapin support for individuals with similar ex-periences.“Formost of that time,whenpeople asked
me how I was, I just said I was fine. Youcould say that I wore a mask for the entireyear that my son was in treatment.”Upon meeting another mother whose
child had cancer they were brought closerby their circumstances. They then plannedan event for their children.“We realised howmuch lighterwe felt fol-
lowing a day of just being normal. In somereally strange way, this made the rest of thejourney easier.With the creation of the trust she and oth-
er mothers started to reach out to moremothers across hospitals to offer theirhands to hold and a shoulder to cry on.They offer opportunities to be “normal”.
They help with things like groceries andelectricity vouchers and also provide in-hospital meals.“Our most intangible support is that we
are able to be there for these families in away that allows them to feel normal, be-causewehave been there. InCancervilleweare family,” she says.

Kites a one-day displayMAGRIET THERON
@magrietron
Spectacular kites, like a 30mworm and a family of octopi de-
signed by Parow kite maker IanIslip, adorned the skies of Muizen-berg at the 21st International KiteFestival on Saturday.Kiters from four countries
(South Africa, Germany, the Neth-erlands and the United Kingdom)showed off their colourful crea-tions at what was supposed to be atwo-day festival with kite-makingworkshops, competitions and amass fly.
But the host and beneficiary ofwhat has become Africa’s biggestkite festival, Cape Mental Health,suffered a major financial blow onSunday when gale-force winds andheavy rains led to the cancellationof the second day of the festivities.
Cape Mental Health’s deputy di-rector, Vimla Pillay, says because
of the sudden change in the weath-er an anticipated income of at leastR300 000hasbeen lost. Thedecisionto cancel followed the event safetyofficer’s directive.The funds raised at this annual
event are used to help uplift thelives of children and adults affect-ed bymental disabilities byprovid-ing vital mental health services.
“The Kite Festival is our biggestfundraising and awareness eventof theyear.Wehadawonderful dayon Saturday,” says Pillay.
Cape Mental Health is South Af-rica’s oldest mental health organi-sation and has been providingmental health services to adultsand children in disadvantagedcommunities in the province for102 years.V For more information visit www.cape-mentalhealth.co.za, contact Cape MentalHealth on 021 447 9040 or [email protected] or follow @CapeMental-Health and @CTKiteFest on Twitter.

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREATTuesday, 3 November 201510 ENTERTAINMENT
Deep South duo has new world albumFrom Switzerland to Cape Town’s “DeepSouth”, a world of music will be on stagewhen the album Heartland is launched atthe Reeler Theatre in Rondebosch on Sat-urday 14 November.
Heartland is the second album from localworld music duo Deep South, made up ofNoordhoek’s Dave Ledbetter and KalkBay’s Ronan Skillen.
The instrumental band draws on the dis-tinctive sounds of musicians across theglobe. They produced their first album, AWaiting Land, with some of South Africa’stop musicians, but this time round, they’vemoved a step up, by working with some ofEurope’s most sought-after world musicmusicians.
Outside of Deep South, Ronan and Daveare both formidable musicians in theirown right.
Best known for his session work as a jazzmusician, guitarist and pianist Dave alsofronted the Truly Fully Hey Shoo WowBand in the ’80s and ’90s. Respected amonglocal musicians, Dave has the unique abili-ty to perform across genres. With DeepSouth, he’s distilled his vast knowledge ofjazz, folk, funk and blues into an acousticworld music blend. He’s performed withMiriam Makeba, Ray Phiri, Hein van deGeyn, Sibongile Khumalo and JimmyDludlu, among others.
Multi-instrumentalist Ronan (tabla, per-cussion and didgeridoo) is an enthusiast ofglobal rhythms and known for producing
curious sounds and tempos with his inno-vative hybrid drum kit. He specialises inworld music with “groove and a sense ofspace”. Other than Deep South, he’s co-founder of Tonik, the Swiss-SA trio A.Spelland Hot Water. He has performed withRodriguez, Johnny Clegg and Freshly-
ground, to name a few.Heartland is a dream come true for the
two, who have been admirers of Swedishbassist and producer Björn Meyer foryears. It only took a listen to A WaitingLand and a brief meeting for him to agreeto produce and perform on the follow-up al-
bum.The Bern-based artist has featured on
hundreds of recordings. He recorded andproduced Heartland in Switzerland, withthe help of the Swiss Arts Council (Pro Hel-vetia).
The album is made up of 10 original pie-ces that feature names like Jan GalegaBrönnimann (bass clarinet) of Brinkman-ship, Samuel Würgler (trumpet and flugel-horn) of Balkan band Traktorchester andFredrik Gille (tambourine, frame drumand percussion).
The musicians opted for a traditional re-cording set-up – all in one room, live, withall its transparency.
The result is an honest reflection of someof Dave’s best compositions to date.
Deep South will be launching the albumat the Reeler Theatre at Rondebosch Boys’High School on Saturday 14 November at19:30. They’ll be joined by Joburg-based ex-perimental trumpet player Marcus Wyattand Shaun Johannes, Deep South’s regularbassist, who is also known for his sessionwork with some of the country’s top jazzacts.
The band says listeners can expect an im-peccable performance of acoustic instru-mental music, set in a landscape of soundwith plenty of space, funky grooves and theodd ghost note.V Tickets for the performance cost R100 each fromQuicket.co.za or R120 at the door. The Heartland al-bum will be on sale at the launch.
Many may recognise her smooth voicefrom the Delft Big Band, but Adelia
Douw is fast becoming one of Cape Town’stop vocal acts in her own right.
“Music is all I live for and beingable to do it as a full-time job is adream come true,” she says.
Adelia has been invited to per-form at venues like the CryptJazz Restaurant and theWinchester Mansions and onSaturday 21 November she’llbe joining other rising starsas they perform with ArnoCarstens and the Cape Phil-harmonic Youth Orchestraat the Nederburg PicnicPops concert.
She says she’s veryexcited to have beengiven the opportuni-ty to perform with afull orchestra and ispractising hard forthe show.
“Fans can expect tohave fun, smile andenjoy the perform-ance with us.”
While she is still apart of the Delft BigBand line-up, Adeliais often involved withother musical projects. Last year she evensang the lead in Evita at the Bellville CivicTheatre.
Some of her highlights include perform-ing in the Our Legends Passing the Batonconcert at Artscape in August, performingat the Cape Town International Jazz Festi-val, touring France and winning Grand-West’s open mic jazz competition lastmonth.
“The experience was mind-blowing.”Being part of the competition was already
a dream come true for Adelia, so she wasn’texpecting to win it at all.
“The amazing talent in the competition,the musicians, the friends I made and all thelove I received from all the supporters wereheart-warming.”
She says winning the contest was a “stepcloser” to achieving her dreams of becominga world-class musician.
The annual Nederburg Picnic Pops benefitconcert aims to showcase young and emerg-ing musicians on a platform where they get
the opportunity to share the stage withmore recognised names.
Adelia feels it’s important forestablished artists to empoweryounger musicians by sharingtheir knowledge and experi-ence with the next generation.
“This industry is a very dif-ficult industry and to sur-
vive in it you need to besmart. You need to havethe talent and know thebusiness side of things.”
She’ll be working onbuilding her brand,
to bring herself astep closer to be-ing an establishedmusician by get-ting her solo ca-reer off theground.
Adelia willshare the Neder-berg Picnic Pops
stage with award-winning sopranoGoitsemang Leho-bye, tenor Lukhan-yo Moyake and
choristers of the Boland Community Choir.They will be accompanied by the Cape Phil-harmonic Youth Orchestra under the batonof Brandon Phillips.

Elvis is back in the building!Due to popular demand, Sean Bovim’s Pri-vate Presley – A Salute to the King will be re-turning to Cape Town for a limited seasonthis month.
The contemporary ballet, from the crea-tors of Queen at the Ballet, will be restaged,this time at the Baxter Theatre from Thurs-day 12 to Saturday 28 November.
The high-energy production features over30 of Elvis Presley’s songs, including “LoveMe Tender”, “Jailhouse Rock” and “BlueSuede Shoes”, while following the rise of oneof rock n roll’s greatest legends, portrayingkey moments from his life.
As with previous productions, Bovim Bal-let continues its working relationship withsome of South Africa’s top fashion design-ers. In Private Presley, Craig Port (guestjudge on America’s Next Top Model withTyra Banks and Africa’s Next Top Modelwith Oluchi) designed the men’s costumes.KLûK CGDT (African Fashion Designers ofthe year in 2011 and 2012) are responsible for
the women’s costumes. Ian West (made fa-mous by his creations for Miss SA contest-ants and Miss World presenters) made thespeciality costumes.
Ulrich Binedell’s set design is comple-mented by the lighting created by FaheemBardien, all contributing towards a feast forthe senses.
Portraying the epic role of Elvis is HenkOpperman, while Kristin Wilson dances therole of Priscilla and Devon Marshbank isNick Adams.
Simoné Botha (Miss Deaf SA 2012) andFaye Dubinski portray three of the mostwell-known love interests in Elvis’s life,namely Ann-Margret Olsson, Natalie Woodand Juliet Prowse.V Private Presley will run Thursdays to Saturdays at20:00 and Sundays at 15:00 with an extra 15:00 per-formance on Saturday 28 November. Tickets cost be-tween R150 and R285 each with 10% discounts forpensioners and are available from Computicket. Visitwww.bovimballet.com for more information.

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.

After beating Grassy Park Crusaders 3-2a few weeks ago, Westridge Yankeesput in a good performance against Sil-
vertree on Saturday to beat them 5-2 at Groe-newald Road sports field in Southfield.Westridge took a 3-0 lead at the start of the
second innings through hits by Casley Rip-epi, Jude de Gee, Jesse Hugo and Veon Rixwith Silvertree committing two errors.Silvertree bounced back in the fourth in-
nings with Miguel Wilson hitting in MarvinMahoney (base on balls) and Dayton Willi-ams (hit by pitch) to bring the score 3-2 forWestridge going into the fifth innings.Westridge immediately extended its lead
to 5-2 at the top of the fifth innings with hitsby Jayson Ripepi, Gwyn Petersen and Cas-ley Ripepi. De Gee contributed with a sacri-fice bunt and Silvertree relief pitcher DeanJacobs did not help by hitting twoWestridgehitters with his pitches.A combination of consistent pitching,
good hitting (seven hits), skilful base steal-ing (five in total) and effective bunting epito-mised the collective efforts from Westridge.Jayson Ripepi (5 Inn, 23 BF, 2 H, 3 BB,
1 HP and 3 K) started for Westridge Yankeesin the absence of preferred starter Luwaynedu Plessis and was supported by his brother
Kyle Ripepi (4 Inn, 14 BF, 1 H, 1 BB and 3 K)who pitched the last four innings. Petersenand Casley Ripepi (both 2 for 5) contributedwell with the bat.
Roberts on moundSilvertree surprised when it started with
AnrichRoberts (4.1 Inn, 22 BF, 5 R, 5 H, 1 BB,1 HP and 2 K) on the mound but he had tobe relieved by Dean Jacobs (2.2 Inn, 14 BF,1 H, 2 HP and 6 K). Jacobs was also relievedby Dayton Williams (2 Inn, 6 BF, 1 H, 1 HP,1 K). Silvertree only accumulated three scat-tered hits.
Jayson Ripepi of Westridge Yankees dives into second base as Marvin Mahoney of Silvertreetries to gather ball during a major league game at the Groenewald Road sport complex inSouthfield on Saturday. Westridge dominated the encounter to walk away 52 winner.

A young all-round sportsmanfromPinelands is thePeople’sPost Let’s Play Sport Star for
September and October.Caleb Oliphant (13), who attends
Bishops in Rondebosch, was nomi-nated by his dad Alroy.
“His love for sport started at avery young age and he takes partinathletics, swimming,waterpolo,hockey and rugby.Hehas achievedprovincial honours in water polo,hockey and swimming.
“He plays club hockey for Cen-tral hockey club in Athlone. Thisclub is community-based and hashelped him to improve year-on-year and this is evident as he wasselected with four Bishops playersto representWP this year,” saysAl-roy.
He is a keen student of the gameand is coached at school by formerSA hockey player Murray Ander-son, who represented SA in theOlympics. His provincial honoursin water polo last year is the resultof his commitment to swimming.He participated in the level 3 SAnationals in Port Elizabeth thisyear – in the 50m and 100m freestyle. Last year he was ranked sec-ond in the 50m nationally and fifthin the 100m for his age group, saysAlroy. Caleb says his favouritesport is hockey.
“I have been playing hockey
since I was seven years old. I lovehockey because the feeling of run-ning with the ball, dribblingthrough players and hitting theball as hard as you can to score isan amazing feeling. I personallythink it is the best sport.”
He trains two to three times a
week. Because of his all-roundsporting abilities he has received abursary from Bishops.
Caleb says he has many sportingheroes, but his favourite is SAhockey player Lloyd Norris Jones.Caleb has great dreams for the fu-ture.
“By the time I reach matric, Iwould like to have made the WPu.18A hockey side as well as the SAu.18A side; but most important isto make the Bishops u.18A teamfirst. After school I would love toattend a university like Stellen-bosch and play for Maties, and
work to make the SA senior men’steam and compete in the 22nd Com-monwealth Games in Durban in2022.”V If you want to nominate a sport star (be-tween 13 and 18 years old) for Novembersend a short motivation by email [email protected].
