    BIG HONOUR: STUDENT INVITED

    Off to see Obama

    ANDR BAKKES

    Wherewere youwhen the inauguration of the

    President of the United States took place?

    Most South Africans would probably shrug

    this question off and answer: In bed!

    They will convince themselves that they

    wouldnt really want to be part of some presi-

    dents induction in some other country.

    Yet, if they were given the chance to experi-

    ence this historic event theywould grab itwith

    both hands.

    Third year student at the University of the

    Western Cape (UWC), Bianca Marinus (23),

    cant wait!

    She has been critically selected and invit-

    ed to attend the presidential inaugural confer-

    ence in Washington, DC in January next year.

    Marinus had to raise a substantial amount

    of funds to cover her costs and during a fund-

    raiser in Bothasig in September she did just

    that.

    The presidential inaugural conference is a

    unique leadership development programme

    that brings together outstanding young people

    from around the world to directly participate

    in the pageantry and ceremony of the inaugu-

    ration of the president and vice-president of

    the United States.

    young South African female to be receiving

    this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime experi-

    ence and to be representing my country, is a

    great honour to uphold!

    fronts she is a career guidance practitioner,

    She accepted the invitation without hesita-

    tion, but the funds needed for such a trip

    were a problem.

    Thats when she decided to hold a fund-

    raiser in the Bothasig Community Hall.

    With the help of ward councillor James

    Vos and 250 guests the gala event was a

    smashing success.

    With theirhelp shehasnowpurchasedher

    ticket and will be flying on 20 December, to

    attend the inauguration in themiddle of Jan-

    uary.

    Now the anxiety and excitement really

    starts to set in, she adds.

    The bright-eyedMilnerton resident has no

    doubt that by attending this programme in

    America, it will greatly assist her in becom-

    ing a teacher of influence immersed in a

    global perspective.

    This will be a powerful experience, and

    enable me to interact with many prominent

    men and women whommost of us only read

    about in the news, she says.

    Since community service is her passion

    she is convinced that this experience will

    stand her in good stead.

    She reasons that she will learn how to be

    more persuasive and strategic, whichwould

    equate to getting more people to help her in

    community outreach projects.

    She concludes emphatically: For all those

    out there, I want to say that one should take

    every opportunity available and put your-

    self out there! Always go the extra mile and

    never be stagnant. To the younger people

    never conform to mediocrity!

    Bianca Marinus will

    be representing South

    Africa at the United

    States presidential

    inauguration in

    January.

    Tipoff leads to dagga bust

    Maitland polices W/O

    Gehardus Havenga, Const

    Rudolf Strachan and Const

    Natanael Cupido with the

    confiscated dagga.

    A tip-off by a member of the Brooklyn com-

    munity resulted in the arrest of a suspected

    drug dealer last Thursday.

    Maitland police spokesperson, W/O Siya-

    bulela Vukubi, says that they found 4,7 kg of

    dagga with a total street value of R30 000 in

    the dealers possession.

    Vukubi elaborates: The suspect was al-

    legedly selling dagga to users and dealers

    from his home in Brooklyn. Police acted

    swiftly and searched the house and two

    packets of compressed dagga and two other

    packets of loose dagga were confiscated.

    As a result a 25-year-old manwas arrested

    and charged with dealing with dagga.

    Vukubi concludes: We encourage mem-

    bers of the community to report drug deal-

    ings in our communities. Please contact

    Maitland police on 021 506 9400 or Sector 1

    Emma still battles cancer

    ESM ERASMUS

    A brave little eight-year-old girl of Oakdale

    with cancer touched the hearts of people

    and in true Christmas spirit a sum of

    R22 270was raised in only twoweeks to help

    cover her medical costs.

    TygerBurger reported on Emma Fouries

    desperate fight against cancer in October.

    A reader, Debrah Grasso of Durbanville,

    was so touched by Emmas story that she

    decided to raise funds for Emmas medical

    accounts to help lift the financial strain on

    the family.

    She approached the school of her daugh-

    ter, Gabriella, the Kids Can Pre-primary

    School in Kenridge, to do a raffle competi-

    tion in aid of Emma.

    The school also held a bandana day in Oc-

    tober to raise aboutR1 300 for theSunflower

    Fund.

    In twoandahalfweeksweraisedR22 270

    for Emma.

    It blew me away how everyone just

    pulled together tomake this happen in such

    a short period of time. I couldnt do this raf-

    fle without sponsors. I approached a few

    people who were so willing to sponsor priz-

    es. Not one person turned me away, Deb-

    rah said.

    I hope that this money will help Emma

    and her family through this very difficult

    time. All the kids at Kids Can Pre-Primary

    send all their love to Emma, she said.

    People have also deposited between

    R8 000 and R10 000 in her parents bank ac-

    count after the article.

    Emma had to go for an intense radiation

    session yesterday again after it was discov-

    ered that the pain in her right shoulder is

    caused by another cancerous lesion.

    Emma has to receive morphine every

    four hours now since 20 November to re-

    lieve the pain. The radiationwill enable us

    to ease off on the morphine, Debrah said

    hopefully.

    Although Emma only spent the first

    month and third term this year at school at

    Gene Louw Primary School, she bravely

    worked hard at home and her marks were

    so good that she was now put to Grade 3.

    Her teacher came to her to give private

    lessons at home. Her grade R teacher, who

    is also a remedial teacher, also helped to

    bring Emma up to date with her school

    work.

    They were awesome and helped where

    they could.

    There are two new lesions in Emmas

    body one in her right hip and one in her

    left knee. They are not causing any symp-

    toms at present, Natalie said.

    Emmawas first diagnosed with cancer in

    2008 only six months after her sister was

    born with an abnormal heart condition.

    Anyone who wishes to assist in any way,

    can send an email to Natalie at

    [email protected].

    A smiling Emma is here with

    her younger sister, Alex (5)

    in October during a stay at

    a hotel in the Waterfront,

    which was sponsored by a

    donor.

    U3Awraps up 2012

    with a photochat

    Present at the final gathering of the U3 Blaauwberg were (from left) Joy Wellbeloved, Attie van

    Tonder, Mrs de Kock, Varda Mushlin. Ivor Shaskolsky, Faisia Shaskolsky, Bruce Sanderson, Ivar

    Drew PHOTO: INGRID FRASER

    The University of the Third Age (U3A)

    Blaauwberg branch wrapped up its 2012 ac-

    tivities on 27 November, with a screening

    of an audiovisual presentation bymembers

    of the U3A Photochat group.

    Thiswas followed by the annual year-end

    finger food get-together, at the Milnerton

    Library hall.

    For the first time in its three year histo-

    ry, U3A Blaauwberg was in a position to

    make donations to three charities.

    Chairperson Joy Wellbeloved, together

    with vice-chairman Ivar Drew, and Ivor

    Shaskolsky handed over donation certifi-

    cates of R5 000 each to representatives from

    NSRI Melkbosstrand, Huis Zonnekus, and

    West Coast Womens Parliament.

    Fundraising is not the prime objective

    of U3A, but due to skilful management of

    income from membership fees and raffles,

    the committee decided todonate someof the

    surplus among three local charities, ex-

    plained U3 Blaauwberg chairperson Joy

    Wellbeloved.

    The NSRI was an easy choice, following

    a popular presentation to members during

    2012, while Huis Zonnekus and West Coast

    Womens Parliament are NGOs in our area

    who share U3As founding principles of on-

    going care and stimulation of the elderly,

    she added.

    Stimulating

    The main focus of U3A is to improve the

    quality of life of people of mature age, en-

    couraging the maintenance of intellectual

    capacity and facilitating the sharing of

    skills through stimulating programmes of

    learning and teaching, as well as the social

    contacts formed through these.

    Speakers talk on varied topics at the

    monthly meetings. Then there are the op-

    portunities to participate in regular small

    groups, for a variety of activities including

    foreign languages, learning new skills or

    playing board and card games.

    U3A members offer to share their talents

    and skills with fellow members on a volun-

    tary basis, by holding group meetings in

    their homes. Over 30 courses/groups are on

    offer covering indoor activities such as

    bridge, creative writing, travel, yoga, wild-

    life DVDs; outdoor activities include bird-

    watching, as well as day outings and longer

    coach trips.

    Our activities are very affordable for re-

    tirees. The annual membership fee is a

    modest R30, and participation in our group

    activities is R5 per meeting. We are a non-

    profit organisation and costs are kept to an

    absoluteminimum. The name of our organ-

    isation says it all. Retirement constitutes

    the Third Age when older people have the

    time to explore activities which they could

    not do during their working careers, Well-

    beloved said.

    Lifelong learning

    The seeds for Lifelong Learning for Ol-

    der People were sown at the Summer

    School of the University of Toulouse in

    France in 1972. In 1982, U3A started in Bri-

    tain with the goal of providing educational,

    creative and leisure opportunities in a

    friendly environment. U3A now operates

    worldwide, fromEurope toAsia, theAmeri-

    cas, and Australasia.

    U3A reached South Africa in 2000, star-

    ting in Cape Town and spreading rapidly

    throughout the country. There are eight

    branches in the Western Cape and Over-

    berg, including Hermanus and Somerset

    West.

    Blaauwberg U3A was launched on 28

    April 2009, to serve the residents of the Mil-

    nerton/greater Table View area. Driving

    the initiative was Silvia Schrire, who origi-

    nally broughtU3A to SouthAfrica, aided by

    all the people from the greater Table View

    area, who were existing members of U3A

    but wanted a more local chapter.

    Founder members Andree Lombard, El-

    mara Willis, and Una Graven continue to

    serve on the committee, as does the first

    chairman, Rod Hulley. Membership conti-

    nues to expand and currently stands at 434.

    General meetings are held on the last Tu-

    esday, every month, at 10:30, in the Milner-

    ton Library Auditorium.

    VMore information can be found at the U3Awebsi

    te, http://www.u3a.org.za as well as details of

    weekly courses and monthly speakers. Enquiries

    may also be directed to Membership Secretary, Rod

    Hulley, on 021 556 4426.

    Wondergas wil nie gesig wys

    MARANA BRAND VAN HULSTEYN

    Almal het gehoop die Kaapse dokter is Son-

    dagoggend van diens af wanneer Tafelberg

    amptelik as een van die sewe nuwe natuur-

    wonders vandiewreld ingehuldigword.En

    hy was, maar kaptein Van Hunks was nie.

    Verteenwoordigers van al sewe natuur-

    wonders was daar enmedia van oor die hele

    wreld was reg om die groot oomblik op film

    vas te l, maar die belangrikste gas wou nie

    van agter haar gordyntjie te voorskyn kom

    nie.

    Die enigste wolk in die Skiereiland het

    vroegoggend net oor drdie kant van die

    berg gehang. n Mens kon darem n stukkie

    van die moederstad sien van die onderste ka-

    belstasie, waar die seremonie gehou is. Maar

    vertrek jy met die kabelkarretjie, was dit

    spierwit bo, onder, links en regs. Tafelberg

    wou absoluut niks van haarself wys nie.

    Bo gekom, kon jy skaars 10 m voor jou sien.

    Dit het al kouer geword, natter.

    Gelukkig het dit nie die feestelikheid van

    die opening in die wiele gery nie. Mense van

    oor die wreld was gedwing om mekaar van

    nader te leer ken, almal ingeprop in die ont-

    haalvertrekkie bo-op die berg.

    Die avonturier Bernard Weber, n Switser-

    se Kanadees en stigter van die New 7 Won-

    ders-stigting, het gemaklik met almal ge-

    sels. Hy het Suid-Afrika geprys vir sy puik

    deelname aan die stemproses omTafelberg

    as een van die sewe nuwe natuurwonders

    uit 440 nominasies wreldwyd aan te wys.

    Sowat 100miljoen stemme iswreldwyd ty-

    dens di proses uitgebring.

    Patricia de Lille, Kaapstad se uitvoeren-

    de burgemeester, het haar trots uitge-

    spreekoorTafelberg enKaapstad sepresta-

    sie. Sy het aangedui dat di wreldbekende

    baken reeds n aansienlike toename in be-

    soekers ontvang het sedert die aankondi-

    ging vroer vanjaar.

    Tafelberg is die enigste van die sewe na-

    tuurwonders wat by n stad is en ook die toe-

    ganklikste. Sy het die hoop uitgespreek Ta-

    felberg sal haarself spoedig aan die besoe-

    kers onthul, wat Sondag ongelukkig nooit

    gebeur het nie!

    V Die ander ses nuwe natuurwonders is die Amaso

    nerivier en renwoud in SuidAmerika; die Iguazu

    waterval in Argentini/Brasili; die Jejueiland in

    SuidKorea; Halongbaai in Vitnam; die Puerto Prin

    cessondergrondse rivier in die Fillippyne; en die Ko

    modoeiland in Indonesi.

    Id like to be a Christmas tree.

    The jolly spirit during Milnerton Pre-Pri-

    marys Christmas Carol evening was high-

    ly contagious. One smile inevitably snow-

    balled into a chorus of amusement and soon

    the optimism was absolutely tangible.

    Parents were invited to the end-of-year

    function, where the schools learners were

    awarded with certificates for their achieve-

    ments and then the adorable children per-

    formed an entertaining show by singing

    Christmas Carols.

    Every adult mustve been transported to

    a time when life wasnt quite so complicat-

    ed.

    An impressive rendition of various fa-

    vourite carols hung in the air long after the

    show, despite the howling wind doing its

    best to spoil the proceedings.

    The vigour some of the kids put into a

    simple song added to the enjoyment, while

    other children sangwith such serious looks

    on their faces that every heart was touched.

    A quote by social activist, Henry Ward

    Beecher, perhaps sums up proceedings

    when he said: Children are the hands by

    which we take hold of heaven.

    Chlo Wallace (4) get into the mood with

    Away in a manger.

    Jayden Basson (5) sings Silent Night with his

    serious face.

    Little Aidan Williams (4) rings in the Christ

    mas cheer with gusto.

    Settlement gets garden and lights

    Mayoral committee member for safety and security, JP Smith, listens intently to community

    member, Khaya Nozombile. PHOTOS: ANDR BAKKES

    ANDR BAKKES

    A section in Mtshini Wam informal settle-

    ment in Joe Slovo Park is quickly becoming

    a sterling example of how a poor community

    can work with other roleplayers to improve

    their living conditions.

    Mayoral committee member for safety

    and security, JP Smith, was one of the high

    profile dignitaries that recently met in the

    heart of a reblocked section inMtshiniWam

    known as New Town.

    TygerBurger reported recently in the arti-

    cle New Town shapes up on the massive

    strides taken by the community and theCity

    of Cape Town regarding the reblocking.

    Now evenmore initiatives, such as the in-

    stallation and piloting of solar bulbs and

    low-tech vertical vegetable gardens, have

    been implementedandmadepublic in the in-

    formal settlement.

    Last week three informal dwellings were

    retro-fitted with these bulbs and vertical

    vegetable gardens as part of a pilot pro-

    gramme.

    The project is designed by Capetonians

    Stephen Lamb and Andrew Lord and will be

    conducted on a small scale in order to estab-

    lish its feasibility.

    The vertical gardens have been designed

    specifically for areas where there are limit-

    ed space.

    There are also plastic doors protecting

    it from theft or damage by the wind.

    The solar light bulbs are solar chargedand

    can light a shack for almost awhole dayafter

    charging with just half a days sunlight.

    The pilot project will create opportunities

    for livelihoods and nutrition, and also aims

    to reduce the spread of fires in informal set-

    tlements.

    Smith focused more on the reblocking in

    his keynote address.

    My work is the sharp end of the stick, so

    my reputation is really someone who does

    the tough stuff and not the feel good stories.

    This is a place where the intelligent design

    converges with common sense.We have had

    major problems with fires around the city,

    but since 2005 we have done massive re-

    sourcing of the Fire Department.

    We cannot keep investing in this depart-

    ment and expect the fire mortality rate to

    comedown, unlessweput a fireman in every

    shack to hold up the candles andkeep it from

    falling over.

    So were starting to invest in alternative

    mechanisms and strategies. Most of these

    are awareness training, he said.

    Smith added that he is very proud of the

    Mtshini Wam community and that reblock-

    ing should ideally happen in every informal

    settlement.

    This stops fires from spreading so quickly

    and also hastens the response times of fire

    engines.

    Thanduxolo Pekula puts great care into one of the vertical vegetable gardens.Dignitaries, roleplayers and the media all squeezed into this alleyway in New Town.

    Crime fighters host family event

    Residents and local children of Sanddrift enjoy a family day that was hosted by the Milnerton

    CPF, local neighbourhood watches and Milnerton police on Saturday.

    LEON STEENKAMP

    The consequences of domestic violence and

    drug abuse was brought to the attention of

    Sanddrift residents when local crime fight-

    ing bodies hosted a family event here on Sat-

    urday.

    Members of theMilnertonCommunityPo-

    lice Forum (CPF), Sector 1 subforum, Sector

    1 Neighbourhood Watch and the newly

    formed Sector 4 NeighbourhoodWatch host-

    ed the event.

    Children fromthe surroundingCommuni-

    carehomeswere entertainedwith a jumping

    castle, trampoline, and bike and horse and

    cart rides.

    Presents like balls, toy cars, frisbees and

    dolls were also handed out along with hot-

    dogs and 70 food parcels.

    The event hosted in conjunction with the

    Milnerton police was part of the 16 Days of

    Activism against Women and Child Abuse

    campaign.

    Drug abuse is amajor problem in this area

    andW/ODaphneDell distributedpamphlets

    warning about the effects of tik usage and

    domestic violence on families.

    The day was also supported by the Apos-

    tolic Church Tygerhof who provided soup

    for local residents.

    The event also served to create awareness

    surrounding the role of the new Sector 4

    NeighbourhoodWatchwhichwill operate in

    the areas of Summer Greens and Sanddrift.

    I saw some of the local drug dealers sit-

    ting there and went to talk to them.

    I told them we are looking forward to

    working with them and that it will be fun,

    said Leon du Preez, chairman of the Milner-

    ton CPF.

    Our mission is to take the streets back

    from drug dealers and criminals and to do

    this I want to establish a neighbourhood

    watch in all the areas that are served by the

    Milnerton police, he added.

    Members of the Milnerton CPF, Sector 1 subforum, Sector 1 Neighbourhood Watch and the

    Sector 4 Neighbourhood Watch attended the event in Sanddrift.

    Dis lekker om

    die Aussies te

    wen, te wen!

    Ons krieketspelers het nou onteenseglik

    bewys hulle is die wreld se beste

    toetsspan. Niemand kan meer mor dat

    hulle nie hul nommer een-posisie op die

    wreldranglys verdien nie.

    Die Proteas het met Maandag se

    indrukwekkende oorwinning van 309

    lopies in die laaste toets van die reeks

    oor die Aussies ook die eerste land in die

    geskiedenis van wreldkrieket geword om

    twee weg-toetsreekse agtereenvolgens teen

    Australi n Engeland te wen.

    Graeme Smith se elftal sal beslis in die

    toekoms onthou word as een van SA se

    grootste spanne van alle tye. Nie alleen

    het hulle die Aussies se neuse in die

    laaste toets behoorlik in die Perth-turf

    gesmeer nie, maar het hulle n week

    vantevore met n manmoedige vegtersver-

    toning hul teenstanders in die tweede

    toets sielkundig geknak dt nadat die

    Australiese koerante op die vierde dag

    reeds voortydig hoera begin skreeu het.

    En kom ons erken dit nou maar

    ruiterlik: dit bly vir elke Suid-Afrikaner

    lekker om n Aussie-span, in watter

    sportkode ook al, planke toe te stuur.

    Hoede af vir veral Smith, Amla, Kallis,

    De Villiers, Du Plessis en ons drietal

    snelboulers, Steyn, Morkel en Philander.

    Hul bydraes in die reeksoorwinning was

    deurslaggewend om ons bo te hou.

    Die speler van die reeks? Die Aussie-be-

    oordelaars het Clarke aangewys, maar in

    die meeste Suid-Afrikaners se boeke was

    Faf du Plessis die man van die oomblik.

    Hy het die Aussies omtrent laat f(l)af.

    U is goed, Here, U

    vergewe altyd weer,

    U is getrou teen

    oor di wat na U

    roep om hulp.

    In light of the various articles

    about Summer Greens that

    have found their way into your

    newspapers, I would like to

    express my deepest concern

    over the negative emotions and

    ideas that that are being

    raised.

    In the first article published,

    from my understanding, the

    main concern was about the

    state of the suburbs public

    facilities, amongst other things.

    The council responsible for

    maintaining public facilities

    has responded positively to

    this concern by repairing roads

    for example Summergreens

    Drive close to 7Eleven. A lot of

    work is under way to install

    new water pipes and electricity

    cables, which is evident in the

    water cuts and power cuts that

    last for an hour or so in some

    areas in the suburb. Not to

    mention the City of Cape Town

    trucks you find alongside some

    roads with the staff undertak-

    ing repair work.

    Some of the illegal shops

    mentioned in the first article

    have closed down following

    Leave foreigners out of the plot

    To Kobi Lombaard and J van

    der Spuy, who have written to

    the TygerBurger regarding the

    creche in Melkbos.

    Clearly these incidents never

    happened to your kids and for

    your sake I hope your kids

    were spared.

    The people in Melkbos who

    dont want to believe, must

    unfortunately wake up and

    smell the roses. Remember

    where there is smoke there is

    fire.

    We as parents dont know

    each other from a bar of soap

    and this is certainly not an

    isolated incident, why on earth

    would the parents waste their

    time, effort and money on such

    a thing if it was not true?

    Think about it, this is a perfect

    place for a serial paedophile,

    where small children attend a

    creche in the so-called sleepy

    Melkbos.

    We trusted these people to

    look after and care for our

    children while we were at work

    and they violated our trust

    including our childrens trust.

    My child unfortunately was

    in that creche and my child

    was never happy and we had

    endless problems trying to find

    out why my child didnt want

    to go to creche. Unfortunately

    for me I only found out much

    later. To the serial paedo-

    phile(s), you have messed with

    the wrong families and you

    deserve whats coming to you

    all in court, justice will be

    served.

    Parents do your homework

    before putting your children

    into just any creche, there are

    other good creches in Melkbos.

    ANOTHER CONCERNED MOTHER

    Via Email

    Concerned about child abuse at creche

    On Sunday evening 25 Novem-

    ber, Kelly-Jane Hart (23) and

    Clyde Lewis (25) of Bothasig

    spotted a homeless man abus-

    ing a puppy on the N1 City

    Bridge. When they tried to

    rescue the tiny labrador, the

    homeless man proceeded to

    strangle her in front of them

    so forcefully, she began to

    vomit. Luckily the brave young

    couple managed to extract the

    traumatised puppy from him

    and took her home.

    Only five weeks old, much

    too young to be away from her

    mother, little Bella continued to

    suffer from severe vomiting and

    diarrhoea over the next few

    days. Kelly-Jane and Clyde took

    her to Bothasig vet, and blood

    tests revealed that she had a

    virus called

    Parvo.

    After

    staying at

    the vet

    overnight,

    it was

    discovered

    that Bella

    had severe

    complica-

    tions in

    addition to

    Parvo that required a blood

    transfusion. Even after the

    transfusion and round-the-clock

    care, she only had a 10 %

    chance of survival.

    Bella is still weak and on a

    drip but doing much better.

    Kelly-Jane expects the little pup

    to be discharged later this

    week.

    The couple chose not to use

    local animal welfare services as

    they would have put Bella

    down due to the exorbitant

    costs of saving her. As stu-

    dents, they are now struggling

    to cover vet bills in the region

    of R10 000.

    The couple is looking for any

    donations to help cover Bellas

    vet fees.

    Contact Kelly-Jane on

    082 560 8789 if you can help!

    Bella the labrador

    has been given a

    second chance in

    life.

    licensing problems.Two good

    examples are a vegetable shop

    that was previously set up in a

    garage and a cosmetics shop

    that were both being operated

    on Summer Greens Drive.

    I now think residents pushing

    for further articles to be

    published about the suburb

    have other ulterior motives.

    The continuous mention of

    foreign nationals residing in the

    area is my greatest concern. It

    is no crime to be a foreigner

    and continuous association of

    foreigners with crime and drugs

    is discriminatory and xenopho-

    bic. In the latest article, one

    resident said We must stand

    up and fight.

    This can only lead to xeno-

    phobia and more crime.

    I therefore implore that you

    stop publishing these articles.

    The message has been heard by

    relevant authorities and action

    is being taken (rather than

    residents) taking matters into

    their own hands and commit-

    ting crime.

    With the festive season fast approaching,

    northern suburbs residents are requested

    to support organisations which take care of

    the homeless, instead of givingmoney to in-

    dividuals.

    Wayne Aldridge, principal inspector for

    the Displaced Peoples Unit (DPU) said over

    the festive season, a hike is experienced in

    the number of people donating money to

    homeless people.

    Especially tourists are known to give

    money and other items to street people, he

    said.

    He advises the management of all hotels,

    bed-and-breakfasts as well as guest houses

    to pleasemake contactwith the City of Cape

    Town to obtain pamphlets about the citys

    Cape Town Cares, Give Responsibly cam-

    paign.

    This campaign is part of this administra-

    tions efforts to build a Caring City by re-in-

    tegrating homeless people into their com-

    munity of origin wherever this is possible.

    The campaign aims to inform businesses,

    tourists and the public about the citys pro-

    active and sustainable measures to tackle

    homelessness.

    Aldridge urged people to be vigilant over

    the holiday season, and to inform guests to

    do the same.

    The vision of the Give Responsibly Cam-

    paign is to significantly reduce and to ade-

    quatelymanage the number of people living

    on streets, with special emphasis on facili-

    tating a holistic, developmental, integrated

    and realistic approach.

    The vision further includes the develop-

    ment of programmes aimed at preventing

    further migration to the streets.

    The focus of this approach is to give street

    people the necessary developmental assist-

    ance, in order to achieve employment, ac-

    commodation and reintegration with their

    families and the community.

    Most street adults survive through resi-

    dents donations in the form ofmoney, food,

    clothing, bedding or recycling material, as

    well as odd jobs for money.

    This, however, tends to reinforce and en-

    trench the tendency towards life on the

    street, particularly for adults who are ac-

    customed to it.

    Please report any vagrant issues to

    0800 872 201.

    Dont just give cash

    to street vagrants

    There will be a Carols by Candlelight event

    at De Grendel Wine Estate in Plattekloof Ro-

    ad on 9 December at 17:30. The event, which

    includes a Nativity Play, will be held in aid

    Half of motorcyclists deaths occur in the

    Cape Town metropolitan area.

    Robin Carlisle,Minister of Transport and

    Public Works, expressed his growing con-

    cern at the evermounting toll ofmotorcycle

    fatalities in the Western Cape.

    While our overall road fatalities have de-

    clined dramatically by 28 % over the last

    three years, motorcycle deaths have actual-

    ly risen by 11 %. All other categories, in-

    cluding cyclists and pedestrians have de-

    clined, said Carlisle.

    The figures for October 2012 show that

    this alarming trend is on the rise with 12

    motorcyclists dying compared with 2 in Oc-

    tober 2011.

    Over 200 motorcyclists have died on our

    roads in the last three years.

    In part this is due to the increase in the

    number of motorcycles, but too many mo-

    torists are not sufficiently alert to both cy-

    clists and motorcyclists.

    Unfortunately, at the same time, many

    motorcyclists ride at excessive speeds,

    added Carlisle

    Carlisle also reported that road deaths on

    WesternCape roads in themonthofOctober

    had risen by 6 % when compared to the

    same month last year.

    The comparative figures are: October

    2008 124; October 2009 115; October 2010

    108; October 2011 101; October 2012 108.

    With Christmas coming up, having your pet

    microchipped is of vital importance asmany

    animals go missing over the festive period

    for various reasons.

    To avoid losing a pet, the public is urged

    to have amicrochip installed under the skin

    of their pets, which will prevent a great deal

    of sorrow, should they ever go missing. The

    simple procedure is short and almost pain-

    less.

    Pets that are lost, normally get picked up

    and are taken to either vets or shelters like

    the SPCA where they are scanned and

    checked for microchips.

    They can be taken to any vet, as well as

    places like the AACL or SPCA to have the

    microchip installed through a painless proc-

    ess, which only lasts a few seconds.

    Pets could virtually be found the same day

    and will save a lot of stress as it is very trau-

    matic for them to be lost and taken away

    from the family and environment that is

    known to them.

    Before having a microchip installed, it is

    suggested that an enquiry is done from a vet

    as to what kind of microchip they are using,

    as some of them have a yearly reactivation

    fee and others require a once-off payment.

    When having a microchip installed, ani-

    mal owners are advised to make use of one

    of the popular designswhich includeVerbac

    or Identipet. Verbac and Identipet are the

    most popular microchips, and Identipet has

    a yearly fee of R55. The costs vary fromplace

    to place but the procedure normally costs be-

    tween R200 and R350.

    Once the microchip is installed, the own-

    ers details are stored on their databases. It

    is advised that the contact details anddetails

    regarding the pet are always up to date.

    If pets weremicrochipped a few years ago,

    it is advised to take them to the vet to be

    scanned, in order to determine whether the

    microchip can be detected, read, is outdated

    or if they are able to locate the contact de-

    tails.

    Un-microchipped animals may never get

    reunited with their families and it could re-

    sult in thembeing euthanised as the kennels

    are overflowing.

    wil

    werkers

    oplei

    Kerke en kerkleiers het n behoefte

    aan meer doelgerigte opleiding om

    die spesifieke behoeftes van persone

    wat voldag werk aan te spreek.

    Dt blyk uit nmeningsopnamewat

    Call42 gedoen het.

    Die Call42-inisiatief is in Stellen-

    bosch begin deur sakelui en het met

    n nasionale vraelys afgeskop.

    Die vraelys is ontwerpomdie strui-

    kelblokke te identifiseer wat Christe-

    ne in die gesig staar wat die uitleef

    van God se roeping by die werk be-

    tref.

    Meer as 1 300 kerkleiers, studente,

    jongwerkendes, sake-eienaars en sa-

    kebedieninge het landswyd deelge-

    neem aan die opname.

    Verskeie Christene oor verskillen-

    de sakesektore en denominasies

    heen, word al hoe meer bewus van

    wat God deur Christene in die sake-

    wreld doen.

    Alhoewel die afgelope paar jaar dui

    op n wesenlike verandering op hier-

    die gebied, sukkel baie Christene

    steeds om roepingsgerig by die werk

    te leef.

    Call42 beoog om die uitdagings uit

    te wys wat Christene ervaar, spesi-

    fiek om tradisionele bedieningsbe-

    ginsels in die gewonewerksdag toe te

    pas.

    Onder die resultate uit die me-

    ningsopname sluit in dat gemeente-

    leiers aandui hulle verstaan nie ten

    volle die uitdagings van die werks-

    omgewing nie. Nog n resultaat is dat

    die meerderheid van Christene besef

    datGodhulle geroephet vir n doelge-

    rigte lewe, maar hulle weet nie nood-

    wendig hoe om dit prakties by die

    werk uit te leef nie

    Die navorsing toon daar is n groot

    behoefte onder werkende Christene

    om hulle roeping by die werk uit te

    leef.

    Call42 is van plan om relevante ge-

    sprekke in te lei en die groeiende be-

    kommernis aangaande die skeiding

    tussen die sekulre en die geestelike

    te beklemtoon.

    Die Call42-resultate is verpak in

    bondige verslae wat beskikbaar is by

    www.call42.co.za. Mense kan ook

    aanteken op die webwerf om toekom-

    Artscapes 20!20 revamp

    LOUISA STEYL

    The iconicArtscape Theatre Centre is getting aR1,5 bil-

    lion facelift, turning it into a multifunctional cultural

    hub.

    Dubbed Artscape Live 20!20, the plan will see the 41-

    year-old complex become one of the largest precincts

    in Africa dedicated to the performing arts.

    The revampwill see the addition of an amphitheatre,

    a concert hall, new rehearsal spaces, new studio theatre

    and a performance academy, amongst other changes.

    Artscape chairman Prof Somadoda Fikeni, says alt-

    hough the institution still needs to secure final appro-

    vals and funds, they hope to create a cultural hub.

    Our vision for 2020 is to create an epicentre of cultu-

    ral excellence by using the performing arts industry as

    a prime catalyst of economic growth, human develop-

    ment and social cohesion, he says.

    Artscape CEO,MichaelMaas, says the task of the the-

    atre is to bring the arts to the people.

    We cannot end with a performer on the stage, he

    says. We must start with the children in the communi-

    ties and find them and train them.

    The proposed academy will offer training for 300 stu-

    dents, while the Zip ZapCircus Schoolwill have its own

    rigging studio.

    Maas says the expansion will provide opportunities

    for young talented people in the community.

    Thanks to the CTICC, the BRT station and new deve-

    lopments at Culemborg, Maas points out that the thea-

    tre is no longer positioned on the outskirts of the

    CBD, but is instead in a prime position to be used as

    a multifunctional hub.

    The proposed development plans also include four

    double-height seminar rooms.

    The concert hall, only the second of its kind in Cape

    Town, will be acoustically treated, making it an ideal

    venue for choirs, orchestras and even jazz performers.

    New studio theatres will allow the theatre to be more

    flexible. Not all stories are meant for the opera house

    stage, Maas says.

    The piazza in front of the theatre will be covered and

    sheltered from the wind, to create an amphitheatre,

    while the theatre will also sport a bigger parking area

    after the revamp.

    Maas points out that the entertainment industry has

    become one of the fastest growing sectors in themodern

    world. To keep pace with future growth and burgeo-

    ning demand, Artscape has seized the opportunity to

    expand its capabilities and capacity, Maas says.
