This is the breakthrough for resi- dents of the Happy Valley informal settle- ment whose life-long ideal of having their own home will now finally be realised. Bert van Dalen, local ward councillor, says the long awaited and hoped for Happy Valley Housing project kicked off in June and will pro- visionally be completed within two years. The City of Cape Town housing project will complete 1 460 houses (200 of these PHP). The People’s Housing Project will be based upon qualifying for a subsidy. “My hope is that Happy Valley will be a real happy valley and no longer a dumping site for people who can’t be accommodated elsewhere,” said Van Dalen. Appointed contractor for the project is Asla Construction and will feature duplex and free- standing homes. He says homes will also be fit- ted with solar energy panels, including a sepa- rate solar-energy powered lighting system. The two-bedroom 40-square metre homes will be based on the land where the former Happy Valley informal settlement was based. Inhabitants of the settlement were re-located to the area in front of the informal settlement, earlier this year in May, while construction continues. “We first had to obtain permission from them to be able to move them from their former plots, because we can’t move people without their per- mission,” Van Dalen explains. The Happy Valley informal settlement origi- nated when people who were dislocated else- where were moved to this open area, outside Blue Downs. Van Dalen says people are from all over. The informal settlement was prone to flood- ing and many other challenges, caused by the winter rains and cold. “If you look at the circumstances the people have thus far lived in, this project will certainly restore their human dignity.” Van Dalen says the people are generally excit- ed and anxious for their new homes to be com- pleted. “Ninety-nine percent of the people are very happy and want to take ownership of their new homes as soon as possible. People are looking forward to it.” Carmen Cupido, dweller of an informal struc- ture, said about the prospect of living in her own home: “For the past seven years I’ve been living here, it is a bit wet, but we have to be patient. I am very happy about the houses.” Another in- formal resident, Magda van der Vent said: “I feel satisfied that we are going out of the cold, I have no complaints, the homes look beautiful.” ) ) New concrete homes ‘beautiful’ New concrete homes ‘beautiful’ V alley alley bit bit happier happier Bert van Dalen, local ward councillor on the construction site of the Happy Valley Housing Project.

porting the misconduct of a policeman, re-member to give all relevant information andtake note of names, ranks and car registra-tion numbers.“We need you to help us identify them, so
that police misconduct can be investigatedwith a view to improve police efficiency andeffectiveness,” said Western Cape ministerof Community Safety, Dan Plato.SMS the word “reward” or “report” to

“Ek voel baie gelukkig as die bosse wegis en mense veilig voel.”
Só sê Frank Geneke van Greenfields,Blackheath, oor die vrywillige werk wat hyna ure doen met die afkap van die Port Jack-son-bome op die oop veld naby sy huis en insy woongebied.Vanjaar is dit die derde jaar dat Frank se
pogings die digte groei van die bosse ver-hoed. Hy sê hy saag dit so twee keer ’n jaaraf. “Die man wat dit altyd gedoen het, TomNel, is oorlede en toe het ek besluit om diewerk oor te neem, veral om die plek veiligtemaakvir skoolkinderswathierlangs skooltoe loop,” sê Frank.Hy sê die erf is nie munisipale grond nie
en word deur ’n private eienaar besit. “Onsweet nie wie die eienaar is nie.” Die veilig-heid van sy gemeenskap is egter vir Frankbelangrik en hy sê die erf word gebruik deuralmal, van wie die meerderheid kinders vannabygeleë skole is.“As die bosse dig is, kan ons nie sien of
daar kwaaddoenerswegkruip nie. Dit is don-ker in die oggende en van diemense stap par-tykeer alleen.” Hy sê sy pogings word veraldeur die verpleegsters van die woongebiedwaardeer. “Hulle is baie bly ek doen dit. Hul-le staan al van sesuur soggens hier vir diebus en wag. Hulle bedank my altyd.” Dit ishierdie dankbaarheid uit die gemeenskapwat Frank rede gee om aan te hou.“Ek doen dit vir die gemeenskap. Ek word
nie betaal daarvoor nie, ek doen dit in myvrye tyd,” sê Frankwat ’n voltydse werk het.

’n Kapingsdrama het hom dié naweek inBrantwood, Kuilsrivier afgespeel toe ge-wapende mans in ’n skietery met ’n poli-sieman betrokke was.
Die drama het begin toe ’n polisieman, wat’n motor sou gaan koop het, van die bankdeur mans agtervolg is. Die polisieman, watvan diens was, het ’n groot bedrag kontantby die bank gaan onttrek en die twee ver-meende kapers het hom van die bank agter-volg tot by die verkoper van die motor sehuis in Brantwood, Kuilsrivier.
Die eienaar van die huis, waar die kapingplaasgevind het, het aan TygerBurger vertelhy het Saterdagoggend niksvermoedend uitsyhuis gekomomsymotoruit diemotorhuiste trek. Hy was op pad om te ry. “Die ou watby my in ’n afsonderlike woonstel woon, hetmet ’n man (die polisieman) staan en gesels.Hy was besig om hom sy motor te wys wathy wou verkoop.”
Toe die eienaar na sy motorhuis se deurstap, het hy twee swart mans opgemerk watna die geselsende mans aangestap gekomhet.
Hy het na die motorhuis gestap, maar eenvan die swart mans het hom genader. “Dieou het na my toe gekom, die gun op my gerigen gesê: ‘My broer draai om, gaan in en maakdie garage-deur toe.” Die man, wat anoniemwil bly, het uit skok stil bly staan. “Hy komtoe na my aangehardloop en hou diegun teenmy kop en sê, ‘ek sê mos vir jou draai om,gaan in en maak toe die deur’.”
Die eienaarhet omgedraai enbydiemotor-huis ingehardloop. “Ek het gedink ek gaanvandag dood. Ek het agter my motor platge-val toe ek hoor hy kom nader. Ek het gedinkhy kom my nou skiet, maar hy het die motor-huisdeur kom toeklap. Dit slag was hard, ekdink hy het dit met die gun toegekap.”
Die man sê al wat deur sy kop gemaal het,
was dat sy bejaarde pa nie uit die huis moetkom en dat die kapers nie daar moet ingaannie.
“Toe ek binne is, toe hoor ek die skote.”Dit is toe dat die kapers in die polisieman semotor geklim het nadat hulle hom van sy sel-foon en kontant beroof het.
Daar was ’n oor-en-weer- skietery tussendie polisieman en kapers. Die polisieman hetna bewering een kaper gewond, wat veroor-
saak het dat die kapers in ’n muur oorkantdie eienaar se huis vasgejaag het. Een vandie kapers het uitgespring en van die toneelgevlug. Die gewonde een is deur die polisieinhegtenis geneem.
Ao. November Philander, woordvoerdervan die provinsiale polisie, het bevestig dievoorvalhet plaasgevindendat die ondersoekvoortduur. Hy kon egter nie die betrokke po-lisieman se naam verskaf nie.

Ideas were flowing andminds were working as stu-dents combined their skillsand participated in theHip2b2 iThink Challenge onThursday 26 July at DF Ma-lan High School.Approximately 490 stu-
dents gathered and set out touse their skills and win thechallenges of the day, whichincluded the Pronutro Cere-al Challenge,where theyhadto create a new flavoured-ce-real, as well as the Sciencechallenge.This year Hip2b2 part-
nered with Pronutro, whichstudents thought was a goodway to combine brains andcreativity.A group of first-time participants fromBellville
Technical High expressed their excitement: “Westand a good chance of winning. If all goes wellthere will be good opportunities for us,” saidGrade 11 student Shaquille Poyer. Another stu-dent, Lungisa Klaas commented on this saying:
“We’re trying to make a super-exotic cereal.Something they’ve never tasted.”The love for science and maths was evident as
managing director CathrynTreasure spoke aboutthe importance of events of this nature.“This is another one of our touchpoints and we
want to inspire these students to pursue mathsand science. Today is so importantbecause it gives them the chanceto apply science in a more practi-cal way, away from the class-room,” she said.There were different flavours
and colours thrown in, all addinga touch of the groups’ identities.Bellville High School student,Sharni Gold said: “We made ourspurple and added chocolate chips,but with banana flavour, becauseour parents would want to take ahealthy approach.”The Hip2b2 team all scattered
the floor in science coats with theslogan “Think what you can be”.Treasure says Hip2b2’s broadcastmessage is to encourage childrento pursue science and maths andapply it in everyday life. “The op-portunities are endless,” she says.Winners of the day were IslamiCollege and Worcester Gymnasi-um.

The immense excitement was tangibleamongst members of the Mission Teamconsisting of members from the EnonTabernacle Baptist Church and TeenChallenge at a meeting last week.TheMission Teammet for final discus-
sions on their mission trip to the UnitedStates of America.The team will be leaving on Thursday
2 August for their two-week long trip.Past Jacobus Nomdoe, of the church
and director of Teen Challenge South Af-rica said: “We are truly blessed beyondmeasure for the opportunity to under-take this trip. Each of us going on thistrip should view it as an opportunity tocreate an opportunity.”Nomdoe says the purpose of the trip is
to not only to partake in communitywork andministry, but also to expose themission team to new experiences. “Wewant to send themessage that this oppor-tunity is not only for a selected few, butwe looked at all age groups and back-grounds, especially theyouth, aswewantto expose them to possible study opportu-nities in America.”He explains theTeenChallenge “Be the
Tiger” drug awareness programme is thereason the group got invited.
Plans include to provide training toAmerican community workers and edu-cators in this programme.Teen Challenge, a drug rehabilitation
centre and prevention programme hasdeveloped this unique learning pro-gramme for teachers, in order for themto identify children caught up in druguse.The programme has been presented at
schools and prisons throughout SouthAfrica.It will, however, not be all work and no
play for the team consisting of 36 people.The Mission Team will visit tourist at-tractions andheritage sites including theWhiteHouse inWashingtonDC, theMar-tin Luther King project in Philadelphia,and Ground Zero in New York.Nomdoe thanked the leadership of
Enon Tabernackle for funding the mis-sion trip.Future plans include even bigger mis-
sion trips.“In 2013 we hope to take 100 people on
this trip,” said Nomdoe.Mission Team members seemed over-
joyed. Desnay Waldeck said: “This willbe my first time travelling, so I’m veryexcited.”

’n Verkragtingslagoffer vanKuilsrivier het die stilte oor diédaad gebreek, selfs nadat sy deurhaar vermeende verkragter metdie dood gedreig is.
Die dapper 18-jarige meisie vanKalkfontein is opSondag 22 Julienabewering deur haar stiefpa ver-krag. By haar huis vertel sy hoe diegruweldaadmet haar gepleeg is. Ditis glo die tweede keer dat sy deurhaar stiefpa verkrag is. Die eerste
keer het sy dit ook by die polisieaangemeld, maar nadat die verdag-te vir korter as ’n jaar tronkstrafuitgedien het, is hy weer vrygelaat.Daarna het hy die slagoffer weerdeur hel gesit. “Die eerste keer is hyopgesluit. Ek het toe 17 jaar oud ge-word,” sê sy oor die eerste gruwel-daad wat met haar gepleeg is.Die tengerige meisie vertel die

Isolated, cut-off, living in direpovertywithno infrastructure isthe reality for Green Park infor-mal settlement residents.
The settlement alongside the Hin-dle and R300 roads oppositeWesbank in Blue Downs does noteven have electricity, water or thebasic resources. Yet the light intheir dark tunnel is the colourful,fully equipped Hobe Educare Cen-tre where the children of parents,(most of them living below the
breadline), are accommodated dai-ly.
Last week the children of this ed-ucare received a ray of sunlight inthe form of a donation by local Ward19 councillor Cynthia Claasen.
Claasen gave shoe boxes, donatedto her by the Naseem InternationalSchool in Bahrain.
The learners at the school startedthe shoe box project, where a shoebox was filled with necessities forthe young children at the educarecentre.
Claasen, who donated the 13 shoeboxes last week Friday, says the do-
nation forms part of the 67 minutesfor Madiba’s birthday. “The crecheis in my ward and lies very close tomy heart, because of the challeng-ing circumstances they live under,but still they do their best to go on,”said Claasen in answer to why theEducare Centre was selected as re-cipients of the donation.
Educators at the centre are basi-cally working for no money, saysNoxolo Nkohla, principal of the cen-tre, because parents can’t even af-ford the monthly fee of R100.
“We are really struggling here,many parents owe fees since March
this year, but can’t afford to pay us.So we can’t turn the children awayand must see that the children getfood to eat here.”
The daily operational activitiesof the centre have now been takenover by the Truimage Youth Devel-opment, a local NPO who has set upoffice in Green Park and now runscommunity upliftment projectsfrom the premises.
Veronique Ellers-Zoutman, di-rector of Truimage Youth Develop-ment says the organisation has setup office, because of the great needexisting in the area.
They have taken over the run-ning of the creche from Elsabe Ma-rais, founder of the facility. “Thechallenges of the residents here inGreen Park, are: living withoutelectricity and water supply, here isbasically nothing,” says Ellers-Zoutman.
The Hobe Educare was started in2004 and currently has 20 childrenand four educators. Volunteersfrom Truimage also assist at the fa-cility.
To provide assistance to the facil-ity contact Veronique Ellers-Zout-man on 074 853 8988.

Literacy is growing in schools as anexcit-ing competition gets into the final stages.
A total of 60 000 Grade 4 to 7 learners from168 schools have participated in the first lev-el of Growsmart, an exciting literacy compe-tition designed to support the Western CapeEducation Department’s (WCED) strategy toimprove literacy at primary school level.Some 28 schools, each with a team of three
learners, qualified for Level 2 of the competi-tion that takes place during this month.“Schools from the four different education
districts will be competing in Level 2 atSpine Road School in Mitchells Plain on 4and 18 August for a sought-after place in thefinal,” explains Jewel Harris, assistant re-gional manager at Growthpoint Propertiesand Growsmart spokesperson.“The schools qualified following their par-
ticipation in the various Level 1 rounds heldfrom April through to June. There are fan-tastic prizes up for grabs: thewinning schoolwill receive improvements to their premisesto the value of R200 000 and the winninglearners will each receive financial assist-ance worth R20 000 towards their future edu-cation.”Harris added that the competition is about
so much more than literacy.“It’s a terrific confidence booster for the
participants, and it shows themwhat a hard-working and committed teamcan achieve to-gether. Growsmart has won the hearts andminds of learners, teachers and the commu-
nity as awhole. It has certainly exceeded ourwildest expectations,” she saidSuccessfully launched in 2010, Growsmart

View Primary. “Our students worked veryhard to win the prize last year. We used theprize money to buy books to add to our li-brary, build a computer centre for the kids,build a school hall, add interactive white-boards into the classrooms, and construct apre-school playpark with a jungle gym. Thisreally went a long way to making life betterfor our learners,” says Magda Esterhuizen,principal of Beacon View Primary School inMitchells Plain.Parents, families and communities are en-
couraged to come and support their childrenwhen they participate in Level 2.Schools participating in Level 2 include:
Avondale Primary (Atlantis), Parkview Pri-mary (Atlantis), Dr Van Der Ross Primary(Bellville), EA Januari Primary (Bellville),Du Noon Primary (Table View), Imvumel-wano Primary (Brackenfell), and others.

Children in Bonteheuwel are packing awaytheir PlayStations this weekend – and shiningup their goene.While the slightly older generation in the
community’s eyes will light up with the localnames for different types of marbles like iro-nies, soudies, and tamaties, it seems like a newgeneration is learning the game with an excit-ing initiative in the community.Ayoungman inBonteheuwelwants to bring
back those carefree days of youth playing safe-ly in the outdoors before X-Boxes and Ninten-do kept them glued to a TV screen.DeanJateshas started theDLJ 100%Human
Project, and in partnership with Umbon’omh-le Youth Development Organisation, will behosting the secondGattie/Marble competitionin Bonteheuwel and Langa.Jates said that this is the second time that
a similar event is held.“Last year we started with something small
just for the Bonteheuwel area and it was verysuccessful,” he said.“This year’s competition the battle will in-
clude players from Langa, and we are hopingthat it will spread wider.“The competitions will start this Saturday
at the Thusong Centre in Bonteheuwel, andthen alternate with a site in Noxolo Street,Langa, for the next three weeks.”Jates, also an accomplished film maker, re-
vealed thathis plan for the childrenof the com-munity was to give them an insight into howgames like marbles, playing with a top, ken-netjie, and klippetjies (five stones) can be partof their learning experience.“It’s time that they get away from those TV
screens andbecomeactive in games like these,because they are learning about the legaciesand culture of their communities.“These events will also be used as a show-
case for some of the musical talents that wehave within the community so there will belots of entertainment during breaks in thecompetitions. We will also be filming.”TheThusongServiceCentre is on the corner
of Jakkalsvlei and Elder Streets in Bonteheu-wel and the activities start at 09.30.Jates can be contacted on 074 658 5539 or

DESIREÉ RORKE
After seven torturous years ofenduring the hellish conse-quences of drug abuse by bothher children, Susan Esterhuizenof Kraaifontein did the unthink-able.
Susan’s two childrenwere only 13and 15 when they started abusingdrugs, and at a very young ageweresent toNoupoort, the first of a seriesof rehabilitation centres. Theyspent 52 months there.“It was a good resting period for
me and I was at peace to know thatat least my children were in a safeplace,” she says.“But after they were released,
things got worse. I tried everythingI could to helpmy children but it allseemed in vain.”After yet another spate in rehab,
again both her children chosedrugs, and consequently moved outof her house to live with other fami-ly members.“At this point they told the world
that I didn’t care, and I didn’t wantthem any more. But this was far re-moved from the truth.“Children who abuse drugs are
out to manipulate their parents,and for a very long time I felt guilt-ridden and emotionally drained. Itried to analyse events to findwhere I went wrong as a parent. Ifelt ashamed of myself.”
As the years passed by both herchildren refused any help and con-tinued theirhabit at the cost of theirfamily life.“My son was involved with car
theft and was charged with the pos-session of a stolen vehicle and spentsix months in custody at GoodwoodPrison. I spent a lot of money to get
him off and save him from a seven-year prison term,” she says.Instead he received a sentence of
two years under house arrest andSusan hoped that he would finallyfind his way.But soon temptation again gave
way and with the help of the prisonwelfare system her son was placed
inDeNovo rehabilitation centre forseven weeks.“When he came out he looked so
good and I was overjoyed. At lastone of my children could be savedfrom the clutches of drugs,” shesays.But again her hopeswere dashed.“This timehewent and livedwith
his long-time girlfriend and theirtwo beautiful children, but verysoon she senthim tomeas she couldnot cope with his drug habits anymore.“Drug addictswill steal fromany-
one to satisfy their craving. Theybecome aggressive and violent andit does not matter what their lovedones do to try and help them it is allfor nothing,” she says.Meanwhile, her daughter also
moved back to her, and between thetwo children they sold almost eve-rything of value in her house.The pressure was mounting and
after a year, which Susan describesof one of the worst of her life, shewas finally forced to resign fromher employment, due to stress.“I could not face life any more, it
was all becoming toomuch forme,”she says.One morning when Susan real-
ised she did not even have moneyleft for food and was facing a realpossibility of losing her house, shedecided enough was enough.With the help of her local police
station she went to the Kuils River
court and applied for a domestic vi-olence interdict against both herchildren.A domestic violence interdict,
otherwise knownas a protection or-der, can be obtained in a magis-trate’s court, free of charge.The abuse mentioned above can
take the form of verbal, physical, fi-nancial or emotional or psychologi-cal abuse and must involve a mem-ber of the household.Once a party is in possession of
such an interdict the police can in-tervene and lock someone up incase of a domestic argument.“After I received it, I warned
them. But two months ago mydaughter again stole something ofmine and I laid a charge againsther. The police caught her withMandrax the next day and she wassent to Pollsmoor..”At the same time her son contin-
uedwithhis abuse andSusandecid-ed to lay a charge against him aswell and he too was sent to prison.“The day had arrived when the
heart of a mother was turned tostone. I realised that I had to dosomething to protectmyself, and re-fused to withdraw the chargesagainst them. My aim is to reachout to communities to face the fastgrowing Third World War – that ofdrug abuse.”Contact Susan to get involved

The 14-year-old boy’s frightenedeyes desperately look for comfort.He first notices the inviting
couches and the homely coffee tableonhis left and thena faint smile per-meates through his despair whenhe spots a grand bookshelf stuffedwith age-old knowledge on hisright.For a second the boywants to lose
himself in the books, but he is urgedto follow the group of people mull-ing about him.Everyone apart from his parents
gives him friendly and supportiveglances.He is told that the South African
Children’s Home was the first of itskind in the country, having beenstarted by Margaretha Möller in
1808.There is a growing feeling of hope
for the boy. Besides the warm glowof the staff, every time he staresthrough the window he is comfort-ed by the ever-present Table Moun-tain shepherding him.The group is takenona tour of the
whole facility, which includes adining room, a kitchen, bedroomsand studies. There is even a swim-ming pool, a soccer field and a cou-ple of big screen televisions!He is, however, told that thehome
values reading and sport considera-bly more than watching television.In another room, Sandra Collins,
talks to TygerBurger about thehome,which is registered to accom-modate 44 children between the ag-es of six and 18 years.She has been the manager for six
years, but has been involved withthe home for close to 30 years.“We assess and evaluate each
child individually and then placethem in a school in and aroundCape Town,” she explains.The misperception that children
live indefinitely in a children’shome must be changed, especiallysince the Child Care Act wasamended recently.“Children come here in accord-
ancewitha court order for a shorterperiod and in that time we willwork intensely with the family oforigin. Our focus falls on family re-unification,” continues Collins.If the family set-up isn’t function-
ing properly and the child isn’t ina safe environment then a socialworker will recommend to thecourts to temporarily remove the
child from the family’s care.“We have 12 staff memberswhich
includes a full-time social worker,a fundraiser, an admin person, sev-en child care workers and a chiefchild care worker. We are also veryfortunate to have a multi profes-sional team of volunteers consist-ing of a child psychiatrist, an educa-tional psychologist, occupationaltherapist, an educationalist and amedical doctor.” Meanwhile, some-thing remarkable happened at theend of the tour for the 14-year-oldboy.A visibly enchanted and content-
ed old man walked into the homewith two young children by hisside.As it turned out they were his
grandchildren, whom he wanted toshow where he himself grew up so
many years ago. The 14-year-oldboy blossoms. If anyone would liketo help the SA Children’s Homethey can contact them on021 423 1328 or go to www.sakinder-huis.org.
On 1 September Sanlam andTygerBurgerwill be organisinga “Women’s Day” fundraiserfor the home at Hillcrest inDurbanville.The festivemorn-ing will see various speakerssuch as Dr Wolfgang Riebe de-livering motivational talks. Alight lunch and a giant gluten-free chocolate cakewill alsobeon the menu. Bookings can bemade with Sanlam Client Con-tact Centre’s Melinda Preto-rius at 021 916 6191.

DESIREÉ RORKE
An out-of control house party in-spired by the cult movie Project Xand attended by about 1 000 youths,recently caused pandemonium in aquiet street in Northpine, Kraai-fontein.After a night of chaos and noise,
nearby residents were shocked andoutraged by this new youth fad, andfear that more parties of this kindare in the pipeline.The City of Cape Town, however,
has investigated the incident andwarned youngsters that they will
remain on high alert in case of an-other party in the area.Project X, a comedy film released
inMarch this year, is based ona sto-ry of three friends who plan to gainpopularity by throwing a huge par-ty.In the movie, word of the party
however spreads like wildfire andvery soon it escalates out of theircontrol when hundreds of party-goers fromaround the city arrive atthe house with hair-raising conse-quences.In Cape Town, this movement
very quickly gained a big following
with youths attempting to see whocan create the biggest house party,says Grant Twigg, chairman of theBergdal subcouncil and adds thatnaturally every by-law in the bookwas broken.The invitation which was circu-
lated by email and SMS reads as fol-lows: “Tonight will be epic night toremember. If your up for a ProjectX , .................., Northpine, Bracken-fell, is where youwant to be tonightbtwn 8 and 9.. Over enough parkingfor everyone..bring your friends,and their friends and their friendsfriends.somenigga’swithmorenig-
ga’s who know nigga’s. Bring ownXYZ and other stuff...keep the bc go-ing..so far so good!! ..its a night ofpartying and nontheless *beer*”.“According to our knowledge
news of this party spread across thecity very quickly and young peoplefrom all over arrived in hordes.They ended up partying in thestreet, jamming every single drive-way and blocking traffic. The parkin the street was also used, and eve-rywhere open cars were blaringloud music with youths drinkingand dancing. The next day hun-dreds of bottles were left strewn in
the streets and parks,” he says andadds that the parents of the youthswas out of town over that weekendand not aware of the party.Twigg is adamant that this type
of behaviour is unacceptable in aresidential suburb and last weektold TygerBurger that the city willpull out all the stops to ensure thatthis does not happen again.“I am constantly being updated
with new information of parties be-ing planned. If and when this hap-pens in our area again, we will ar-rest and lock them all up,” hewarned.
House party turns to out-of-control street bash
The Afrika Ablaze Dance Company is get-ting ready to light up the Baxter stage oncemore.For the past 10 years they haveworked re-
lentlessly at helping children, specificallythose from disadvantaged backgrounds, totransform their lives through the mediumof dance, drama and music.Highly acclaimed choreographer and
dance teacher, Glenda Jones, founder andowner of AfrikaAblaze has been instrumen-tal in developing young dancers into well-seasoned performers, who to date havegraced the stages of Artscape, The CTICC,The Baxter and TheNational GrahamstownArts Festival.Their latest production, I Am Dance, is a
celebration of pure passion, inspiration,dedication, natural talent, unbridled energy
and glorious creativity.Afrika Ablaze is renowned for transcend-
ing the boundaries of conventional dance.The cast of 50 young performers have con-
tributed to the choreographic content of theshow and this, Jones claims, is why it willsurprise audiences and lovers of dance. Bal-let, hip-hop, contemporary, African jazz,cabaret and kwaito form part of this boldand innovative show.I AmDance delves into the heart of a danc-
er and aims to unveilwhy dance has and canbecome a home for many who search for ac-ceptance, love and happiness.It starts at the Baxter tonight and runs un-
til 4 August.There will be two performances of the
showonSaturday at 14:00 and at 20:00. Book-ings at Computicket or from 078 478 9847.

The streets of Bellville andParow will soon be cleaner andsafer, with the official launch ofthe Voortrekker Road CorridorImprovement District (VRCID)today 1 August.
Derek Bock, chief operations of-ficer of the VRCID, says all plansare in place to tackle crime andgrime head-on.As from today, VRCID levy pay-
ers will be able to contact a securityoperations control room with anysecurity concerns 24 hours a day on072 792 7168.Cape Town’s newest and largest
city improvement district will de-ploy additional cleansing teamsand private security officers withinthe VRCID, mainly along Voor-trekker and Durban Roads.A total of 100 jobs are createdwith
the launch of the VRCID. The day-time, night time and reserve guardsall received specialist training insecurity and cleansing.The VRCIDwill deploy sevenmo-
bile patrol vehicles and 20 security
officers, all clearly branded – sevendays aweek, 24 hours a day. Privatesecurity service provider Orbis Se-curity will also man a 24-hour, sev-en-days-a-week VRCID security op-erations control centre.The VRCID is part of theMayoral
Urban Regeneration Programme oftheCity of CapeTown, led byMayorPatricia de Lille.“It is very important to remem-
ber the VRCID, like all CIDs onlyprovides top up services, over andabove that which the city must sup-ply in terms of urban manage-ment,” said Bock. He said the CIDwas not there to take over the city’sservices.Via its cleansing service provid-
er, the VRCID appointed an addi-tional 15 street cleaners per day,who will sweep and clean thestreets and collect illegal dumping.The VRCID will also coordinatetheir cleansing operations with thecity so as to maximise all staff.In terms of the powers of arrest,
VRCID security officers, like mem-bers of the public, can execute a citi-
zen’s arrest.“If our security officers arrest a
person for theft as an example, pa-trol vehicleswill respond to the spe-cific incident and transport the of-fender to a police station forprocessing,” said Bock.He said this was a clear example
of how the VRCID will support thepolice and how theywished toworkwith them.Bock said he would foster rela-
tions with non-governmental or-ganisationsworkingwithin theVR-CID to address the issue of home-lessness as this goes hand in handwith security.“Homelessness is not a crime but
being homeless does not give anyperson the right to aggressively begor harassmembers of the public, lit-ter or urinate on the streets,” saidBock.“I make an urgent appeal to all
members of the public to please stopgiving to those who beg on thestreets, by giving cash, food or evenclothing – you are responsible forkeeping them on the streets,” he
said.. The 24-hour control room can

Wanneer ’n potensiële kampi-oen deur ’n agteros geklopword, is dit ’n skok. Maar asdit boonop twee spanne vandie Tygerbergstreek iswat tersprake is, dan sorg dit vir dra-ma.
Durbanville/Bellville, dievoorloper op die punteleer, is dieafgelope naweek in die WP sePremier-rugbyliga sy onoor-wonne status ontneem deur dieTygerberg-klub. Laasgenoemdewas tot voor hierdie wedstrydtweede van onder op die punte-lys in die A-afdeling en het af-skuiwingnadieB-afdeling indiegesig begin staar.Dit mag wees dat die Durbies
die besoekers onderskat het,maar twee geelkaarte, asook diefeit dat Durbanville nie toege-laat is om sy gebruiklike kon-struktiewe spel te lewer nie, het’n vasberade en doelgerigte Ty-gerberg in staat gestel om vyfkeer agter die tuisspan se doel-lyn te gaan draai (teenoor dieDurbies se vier drieë) en daar-mee ’n verrassende oorwinningvan 35-26 behaal.Die Floridapark-spanhet hier-
mee vir eers uit die relegasie-ge-vaarsone beweeg, maar kort ge-wis nog ’n oorwinning of tweeom sy verblyf in die A-afdelingte beveilig.Belhar, wat ’n paar weke laas
in aksie was, is 35-25 deur dieVictoriane geklop.In die B-afdeling, waar Noor-
delikes/Northlink-kollege enBellville in ’n wedloop gewikkelis vir bevordering na die hoër li-ga, het hierdie twee spanne albeiaan diewenkant geëindig –NNKmet ’n rekordtelling van 90-19teen Pniël Villagers, terwyl Bell-ville 34-28 met Goodwood afgere-ken het. Kuilsrivier het 22-20deurgeskuur teen Brackenfell,maarHands&Heart konHelder-berg, die voorloper op die punte-lys, nie in toomhou nie en ismet47-15 verslaan.Die komende Saterdag kry

Central will look to push Kraaifontein Citycloser to relegation from the Northern Sub-urbs Local Football Association SuperLeague when the teams meet at SymphonyPark inBelharonSundayafternoon, kick-offat 14:00.Central come into the game with a win
over Kalksteenfontein on Saturday, but athree-match unbeaten streak prior to thatvictory demonstrates that Giles Julies’ sideare in good nick as far as form is concerned.That is not something one can say about
Kraaifontein City, who look destined to fallthrough the trapdoor and be relegated to thelower division.They are second last on the league stand-
ings, three points adrift of Wayside Wander-ers who are bottom on the log with fivepoints, and a further four from 14th place oc-cupied by United.
Bellstar United, who looked in danger of be-ing dragged into the relegation mire at onestage this season,haveall but secured their topflight status for next season thanks to a 16-point buffer to the danger zone.BelharSpurswill look to get back towinning
ways when they host Trinitarians at Sympho-
ny Park. kick-off at 15:30.The Erica Park side put together a string
of three straight wins from June into earlyJuly that lifted them out of the danger zoneat the bottom of the table, but taking just onepoint from their last two outings means theyare still very much in danger of being drawn
back into the bottom two.They narrowly lost away to log leaders Riv-
erside Rangers at Avonwood Park. Now theywill look to draw on the determination theyshowed in that game in order to overcomeTrinitarians, a team that is in good form.Trinitarians are placed fifth.
Relegation looms for some this weekend

It’s been a long and bumpy road for Ren-ette Bloem but a dream come true to repre-sent South Africa on the grandest stage ofthem all – the Paralympic Games in Lon-don.The blind 48-year-old from Brackenfell
believes she has a realistic chance tomakethe final of her main and favourite event,the 100m breaststroke.The Paralympic Games run from 29 Au-
gust to 9 September at the same venues asthe Olympic Games already in full swing.The South African team can only in-
clude fivemen and fivewomen swimmers.“I’ve always had a love for water and
started swimming at school. I lost interestfor a while and did some serious road run-ning. I like the 10km to 21km range of rac-es.“In 2007 I was back in the pool and ha-
ven’t looked back since.”At the World Championships in 2010
held in Holland, Bloem made the finals ofthe 100m breaststroke placing fourth,showing that she can compete with thebest on the planet.Last yearTurkeyhosted the Internation-
al Blind Sport Federation Championshipswhere Bloemwon silver. She also beat Na-talie du Toit earlier this year in Durban inthe 100m breaststroke, winning Gold.“It’s been very tough, at 48 you have to
manage your body and be aware not toover-train. Currently I practise six days aweek for two to three hours a day. I wakeup at 04:00 to be in the pool by 05:00.“Luckily the gym is basically across the
road for me. Sometimes I go through toStellenbosch as they have a starting blockthat is the same as we will use in London.“I don’t believe I am a given medallist,
but if one is in a final, anything can hap-pen. In 2010 I set the South African recordin the 100 breaststroke at 1.38.67. My otherraces are the 50m and 100m freestyle and200m individual medley.“This will be my last competitive cham-
pionships, so I will give itmy absolute bestto end on a high. Although I am very fo-cused on the job at hand, I can’t wait to gethome after the Games and just lead a nor-mal life.“Preparing for the Paralympics takes
over your whole life,” said Bloem.Few people know that Bloem is family
of the Olympic medallist Ryk Neethling. Renette Bloem is hopeful of a medal at the Paralympic Games.
