It all adds up for trio of learners SIYABONGA KALIPA

T

hree learners from Chris Hani Arts and Culture High School will represent the province in a national competition.

Somila Tete (17) a Grade 11 learner, Sinalo Vokwana (16) and Yanga Jwaqa (16) – both in Grade 10, won a Step Up to a Start Up and Smart Bucks competition in the Western Cape. The competition is a financial literacy programme for children at high schools in disadvantaged areas.

Tete said the organisers wanted them to come up with an idea that involves technology and would improve the economy.

Yanga said their idea was inspired by a shopper they saw at a supermarket. The shopper had a lot of items in the trolley and when it was time to pay, the person did not

have enough money and had to leave some of the items behind.

“We saw the inconvenience it caused the customer and the others in the queue,” he said.

Vokwana said they came up with the idea of what they call a Trolley Total.

“Our idea is to have a scan in a trolley so that when one goes shopping they scan every item before they put it in a trolley so they know the total amount of items before going to the tills and if they can afford it,” he said.

Tete said they told shoppers about their idea and asked what they thought and they all said it would be of great help. The idea came out tops in the provincial competition and are now at the nationals which started with a bootcamp on Monday 2 December.

The winner was to be announced yesterday.

Residents left traumatised after armed criminals robbed journalists during World Aids Day event at BM section in Site B on Sunday.

Reporters robbed at Aids Day event UNATHI OBOSE

W

orld Aids Day celebrations in Khayelitsha on Sunday 1 December were cut short when gun-touting thugs pounced and robbed journalists of their working equipment.

Among other items, they took cameras and laptops before they fled on foot. No injuries were reported. The event was organised by members of the Congress of South African Trade Union (Cosatu).

Ward 89 councillor Monde Nqulwana said he was on the podium addressing residents when the incident happened.

“I was busy giving children sanitary towels when the incident started. There were four of them and only two were carrying guns. They were walking across Japhta K Masemola Road to RR informal settlement,” he said.

Nqulwana described the incident as unfortunate and an embarrassment to the community. “Now I’m wondering which other organisations or government departments will come to the area to render their services if criminals can rob people in daylight. Which investors can come and invest in Khayelitsha if the rate of criminality is so high?” asked Nqulwana. He says the event was not

only celebrating World Aids Day but was also a health awareness programme.

“We invited different organisations and mobile clinics to render free services to the community. While this incident unfolded the community members were busy testing for various diseases including tuberculosis (TB), diabetes, high blood pressure and HIV/ Aids,” he said.

Provincial police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa confirmed the incident saying Khayelitsha detectives have started a probe following the incident in which two Newzroom Afrika crew members and a freelance photographer were robbed at gunpoint

in the BM Section in Khayelitsha.

“Reports at the disposal of the police indicate that the complaints aged 26, 33 and 63 were part of a media contingent covering a Cosatu World Aids Day event in the area. It is alleged that four suspects, two of them armed, joined the crowd attending the event and moved closer to the journalists threatening them before taking a video camera, a still camera, tripod, a set of headphones, television lightning equipment, three cellphones and amount of cash,” said Potelwa.

She said a case of armed robbery has been opened at Khayelitsha police station. If you have information contact 08600 10111.

The newly renovated science laboratory at Ludwe Ngamlana Primary School

New science lab to help school SIYABONGA KALIPA

L

earners at Ludwe Ngamlana Primary School in Kuyasa, will start the new academic year on a clean slate following the opening of a new state-of-the-art science laboratory.

The laboratory valued at more than R600 000 was opened on Monday 2 December and is expected to boost the school’s academic performance into the new academic year and beyond.

It is one of 12 education development projects carried out by the South African Medical and Education (SAME) Foundation across the country to the value of R11.53 million. Several schools across the province have already benefited from the initiative.

The foundation is a public benefit organisation focusing on education and healthcare, with the mission to create an environment

where quality health care and education is available to everyone.

Trevor Pols, chief executive officer (CEO) of the foundation, said they hope to inspire the learners to take up careers in mathematics and science. He described investment in science and technology as vital for the future of young South African learners, particularly as the shift towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) intensifies.

“I hope that the learners appreciate what has been done for them and will use it wisely, and that it will also motivate the teachers,” said Pols.

School principal Noloyiso Mtimba-Dube said it is an honour and a dream that has become a reality.

She said they are excited that the science centre is being opened.

“We are grateful that the SAME Foundation has made it possible for our learners to

be equipped with the skills and knowledge that will benefit the community of Kuyasa,” she said.

She assured everyone that they will use

the laboratory wisely and it will be maintained and that the teachers will be trained so they can teach the learners to better scientists in the 21st century.

Idea bears fruit NETTALIE VILJOEN

T

hey say money doesn’t grow on trees, but 100 residents living in Ilitha Park, will soon have the opportunity to grow a tree for money – R300, to be exact.

Tokai resident Arthur McKey is the man behind this initiative dubbed The People Power Flower. Within the next few years, he intends to raise trees from seed and help plant 1 000 deciduous trees (Confederate Rose – Hibiscus Mutabilis) in Khayelitsha.

But for now he is focussed on getting the first 100 into the ground and he has decided that Ilitha Park is a good place to start.

McKey describes Ilitha Park as a neat suburb filled with brick houses and small gardens.

For the first 100 trees only, the 74-year-old is offering to pay R300 to each household that has planted one of his trees a year after the fact – on condition that it is still thriving.

By the end of December, he plans to distribute pamphlets – inviting residents to take him up on his offer – among the homes located on the 105 streets of Ilitha Park.

McKey will not only supply the trees, he also plans to plant them, with the help of his gardener.

This idea first took root about six years ago when a group of friends invited him to join them for a beer, braaied chicken and Deep House music at The Park.

McKey says he must have looked worried when they told him The Park was located at Site B in Khayelitsha.

“They asked me if I was scared and I replied, ‘What? Me? Scared?’ I was lying through my teeth.”

He ended up having a blast. “The people, the Deep House music and the braaied chicken were magnificent. So was the ice-cold beer! Cheap too. A great vibe, indeed,” he says.

The only thing missing was the greenery that you would expect to find at a place called The Park. “There wasn’t a single blade of grass or a tree in sight.”

That night, while lying in bed at his home in Tokai, the seed to transform Khayelitsha into a tree-lined town was planted.

After lengthy research, McKey settled on the Confederate Rose as being the right tree for the area. In addition to its beautiful pink flowers, it is also low-maintenance, requires little water and can grow in Khayelitsha’s sandy soil, with the help of a handful of bone meal.

It also has a thin trunk, so there is no fear of it becoming a hiding place for thugs.

He immediately set about planting his first crop of seedlings in his small garden, but then disaster struck. He slipped on wet paving and broke his hip. A few years and a hip replacement operation later, McKey is now ready to take on the challenge again.

“My garden is rapidly becoming overcrowded – I urgently need to plant these first 100 trees,” he says.

The avid gardener is the first to admit that his dream of transforming Khayelitsha into a tree-lined suburb is, well, to put it politely, far-fetched. But those who know him would be quick to tell you that if anyone can do it, McKey can.

The former owner of a thriving estate agency in Tokai has built a reputation for being a self-starter and a champion of antiracism. He has been challenging the status quo since 1977 when he first published and distributed 15 000 copies of his People Power Manifesto – speaking out against the then ruling National Party – in the southern suburbs.

He claims to be the first person to have coined the phrase and concept of “People Power” to unseat an unpopular government.

Through the People Power Flower initia-

McKey aims to inspire the City of Cape Town and like-minded individuals to undertake an initial planting of at least 20 000 different varieties of fruit trees on publicly owned land throughout Khayelitsha to assist in ensuring that no child walking home from school goes hungry.

“I have a huge 80-year-old guava tree growing on the edge of my property. School kids who pass by on their way home to Westlake township help themselves to the fruit, and

why not? I encourage them. Imagine if children who live in Khayelitsha could do the same,” he says.

McKey believes it can be done, however, he realises the logistics involved are way too big for one person to handle. He challenges others to adopt this idea and to run with it.

“Just a few weeks ago, we had Springbok captain Siya Kolisi telling us how he used to walk home from school, wondering where his next meal was coming from. Who knows what difference a single fruit-bearing tree could make to the life of a child?”

Major investment in facilities The Community Services and Health Directorate manages a capital budget of just over R366 million in this financial year across its four departments – Recreation and Parks, City Health, Social Development and Early Childhood Development, and Library and Information Services.

The budget is earmarked for new developments, and the upgrade or extension of existing facilities. Some of the projects that will be implemented include: • the construction of the new Zakhele Clinic in Khayelitsha; • the extension of the pharmacy at the St. Vincent clinic in Belhar; • new regional libraries in Nyanga and Manenberg; • upgrades for Arts and Culture facilities, such as the Hugo Lambrechts auditorium, Rust-en-Vrede, Goodwood and Parow museums, Rhodes Cottage, and the Langa, Bellville and Delft precincts; and • an upgrade and extension of Atlantis cemetery.

A more inclusive housing policy

The City wants to encourage the private sector to help with affordable housing in order to meet more of the massive demand.

T

he City of Cape Town has started work on an inclusionary housing policy as one way to improve access to affordable housing in Cape Town.

An inclusionary housing policy aims to encourage and incentivise private-sector partners to include affordable housing in their developments where feasible.

The demand for well-located affordable housing is acute in Cape Town, and only about one in four households is able to afford an entry-level house, which costs around R600 000. The average sale price for a house in Cape Town is R930 000. One would need a monthly household income of approximately R30 000 to afford it. This is possible for only 16% of households. These housing opportunities are generally beyond the reach of teachers, nurses, police and security staff, and young professionals.

Follow your City on:

The City does provide various forms of affordable housing, from social housing – rental units owned by the City or its social housing partners – to gap housing for those who do not qualify for State-subsidised Breaking New Ground (BNG) houses.

The City and its partners have 28 social housing projects in the planning or construction phases, and five social housing projects have been completed to date.

However, the City and National Government cannot possibly meet the great demand for housing. This is why the City is looking at innovative ways to bring in the private sector with a workable inclusionary housing policy.

Inclusionary housing is not a silver bullet that will solve the great need for affordable housing. However, properly implemented, it can meet more of the demand.

Die vraag na sentraal geleë en bekostigbare behuising in Kaapstad is enorm. Nietemin kos ’n intreevlakhuis sowat R600 000, wat beteken slegs sowat een uit vier huishoudings kan dit bekostig.

Shaping a workable policy will take some time. It is expected that the feasibility analysis will be completed in the first half of next year, and the City will have extensive engagements with industry and other stakeholders in the development of this policy.

It is expected that a draft policy will be presented for public participation at the end of next year or early in 2021.

Development of the inclusionary housing policy is one of many measures the City is taking to enable people to live affordably closer to their jobs, amenities and facilities.

Other measures include driving transitoriented development (TOD), encouraging decentralisation of commerce and industry to urban nodes outside the city centre, extension of public transport services such as MyCiTi, and improved development of underused state-owned land.

Repeated cable theft at Lwandle library has left patrons without access to the Smart Cape internet service for more than a year. Cable theft also occurred at the Sir Lowry’s Pass library.

In spite of these challenges, the City presses ahead with expanding Smart Cape access at libraries.

Through the Smart Cape system, residents can apply for an apprenticeship or a job at the City, register for the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP), an informal trading permit, or report a fault or service request.

The City has trained 75 residents in basic computer literacy and facilitation.

They have been employed through the EPWP for 18 months and are now stationed at the Smart Cape kiosks at various City libraries.

They assist residents with basic computer skills, internet searches, online job hunting skills, online applications for universities, scholarships and bursaries, as well as managing Smart Cape registrations.

• Please help fight the vandalism and theft that denies residents access to Smart Cape. Report suspicious behaviour to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by dialling 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.

The City has extended the period for public benefit organisations and nonprofit organisations to apply for grants-in-aid until 20 January 2020.

Changes to national legislation limited the City’s options for offering residents rebates. Yet the City has found a way to help these organisations despite this.

The grant-in-aid process is different from the rates rebate application process. Information on how to go about the grant-in-aid application can be accessed on the City’s website at www.capetown.gov.za.

Have your say about development The City invites residents to help review the spatial development frameworks (SDFs) for each of the City’s eight planning districts – Table Bay, Blaauwberg, Southern, Northern, Cape Flats, Helderberg, Tygerberg, and Mitchells Plain, Khayelitsha and Greater Blue Downs.

The SDFs need to be updated with the latest information on the population (employment levels and income); the urban and natural environment and heritage; development; housing supply and demand for housing; the local economy and property market, and existing and

planned services and infrastructure.

This information, along with the future development needs in each district, is included in baseline and analysis reports (BaARs), available for comment on the City’s website until 31 January 2020.

The review of the SDFs will be based on these reports and the input received from each district. It is important for residents to take part in this process.

District SDFs, which will guide future decisions about developments and land use, will be finalised after further rounds of public participation in 2020 and 2021.

Fifty unemployed school leavers received training and will be deployed as monitors across the city at attractions in Langa, Khayelitsha, Hout Bay and the city centre.

Here they will offer recommendations to tourists visiting popular sites. They will assist tourists with directions, patrol hotspots, ensure safety, and report any incidents to enforcement agencies.

Cape Town has been awarded the hosting rights for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens, the first African city to do so.

Cape Town beat bids from ten other rugby unions to host the eighth edition of the tournament. The three-day event, with 24 men’s and 16 women’s teams competing, will be held at Cape Town Stadium in September 2022.

Staying safe this festive season The City will have more than 3 100 safety and security personnel on duty.

T

he City’s Safety and Security Directorate is ready to keep residents and visitors safe this festive season, with more than 3 100 safety and security staffers on duty.

Safety at beaches Cape Town has 307 km of coastline. The City’s Recreation and Parks Department manages 260 km of this, stretching from Silwerstroomstrand on the West Coast to Kogel Bay on the eastern end of False Bay. The remaining 47 km fall under the jurisdiction of Table Mountain National Park.

Ten of the City’s beaches were awarded Blue Flag status this season. These are Bikini Beach in Gordon’s Bay, Camps Bay, Clifton’s Fourth Beach, Fish Hoek, Llandudno, Melkbosstrand, Mnandi, Muizenberg; Silwerstroomstrand and Strandfontein.

Seaforth beach has pilot Blue Flag status.

The number of beach visitors can reach 1,5 million during the peak season from October to March each year. In December and January, daily beach visitor numbers

Fit for purpose: In preparation for the summer season, seasonal lifeguards underwent a two-day induction at Muizenberg. often exceed 100 000. To help keep beachgoers safe this summer, the City will have 326 beach lifeguards at 26 beaches and tidal pools, under the supervision of 13 senior lifeguards.

Residents and visitors are also responsible for their own well-being, though, so: • don’t drink and swim; • don’t leave children unsupervised; • only swim between the flags; and • beware of rip currents.

Shark Spotters will be on duty daily between 08:00 and 18:00 at Caves (Kogel Bay), Clovelly, Fish Hoek, Glencairn, Monwabisi, Muizenberg Corner, Noordhoek (The Hoek) and St James/Kalk Bay. Beach-goers should pay heed to the shark status flags.

The City’s Baigum Abrahams again won the female category of the sixth national Toughest Firefighter Alive competition. The event was hosted at the Roeland Street fire station, where 106 contenders were tested on their skills, fitness and endurance in a number of challenges in full gear.

Emile Conrad of the Eden District (George) won the men’s competition for the fifth consecutive time.

Safety at pools

Fire and rescue safety

At City pools, 262 seasonal swimming pool lifeguards will be on duty. The swimming pools open over the season are Athlone, Bonteheuwel, Eastridge, Emthonjeni, Goodwood, Hanover Park, Kensington, Langa, Manenberg, Mnandi, Muizenberg, Observatory, Parow North, Wesfleur and Westridge.

The Bellville South, Khayelitsha, Morningstar, Brown’s Farm, Delft, Lentegeur, Parow Valley, Ruyterwacht, Trafalgar Park, Vulindlela and Wynberg pools are all being renovated or repaired – in many instances because of vandalism and theft.

The Sea Point Pavilion pool and the Blue Downs, Long Street, Retreat and Strand indoor pools are open throughout the year.

Summer is fire season. The City’s 900 professional firefighters can be called upon for major incidents, with a minimum of 200 to 240 of these firefighters on duty per shift at 32 fire stations across the city.

Some 120 seasonal wildland firefighters will be deployed at designated fire stations to assist with veld fire management and prevention. The City will have firefighting helicopters at its disposal over the season.

Rescue diving units have undergone training, and four rescue rubber ducks and jet skis with diving crews are available to assist the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) and SAPS. The City has, over many years, refined a festive season safety operational plan, and works closely with many organisations ranging from the NSRI to SANParks, the Mountain Club of South Africa and many neighbourhood watch and community safety organisations.

Festive season safety Almost 1 500 operational members from the Metro Police, Traffic Service and Law Enforcement departments will be deployed this season.

Officers will prioritise crime prevention, traffic enforcement and by-law enforcement.

A major focus will be the confiscation of alcohol at City beaches and other public open spaces, as possession and consumption of alcohol in public spaces is illegal.

There is a close link between alcohol use and risks to public safety, whether in recreational spaces, in the home or on the roads.

The City is concerned about the increase in the number of overloaded trucks. In one recent incident, a truck was overloaded by at least 25 tons.

Overloaded vehicles tend to overturn or become stuck, often with tragic consequences for the driver and other road users. The city has also been left gridlocked on several occasions as a result of such incidents.

The maximum fine for overloaded trucks is R5 000. For serious transgressions, drivers are arrested.

The Road Haulage Unit will continue strict enforcement, and the Fire and Rescue Service has acquired a special vehicle to remove heavy vehicles where they are blocking major routes.

• Only swim when and where lifeguards are on duty. Most drownings occur in lifeguards’ absence.

• Always swim in designated areas, between the bathing flags.

• Always obey lifeguards’ instructions.

• Ensure that your child is in sight at all times. Children can drown in minutes, even in shallow water.

• Put young children in lifejackets.

• Stay out of the water if you cannot swim.

• Talk to the lifesavers about local hazards before entering the water, and read warning signs.

• Never swim alone.

• Never swim at night.

• Never drink and swim. Some 60% of drownings involve alcohol.

Alcohol is not permitted at any of Cape Town’s beaches or public pools and will be confiscated.

• If you are swimming at a beach monitored by Shark Spotters, understand the status flags.

• Don’t dive into unfamiliar water, as there may be submerged rocks.

• Identify an easy location to meet up if anyone gets lost or separated.

• Stay hydrated. Watch out for signs of dehydration, such as red, dry skin, a rapid or weak pulse and rapid, shallow breathing.

An extensive MyCiTi expansion Public transport for Khayelitsha and Nyanga commuters is on the way.

T

he City signed a R300 million agreement for grant funding over the next five to ten years to improve public transport for Khayelitsha and Nyanga commuters.

The funding agreement, known as Project Orio, is a collaboration between the City and the Dutch government and is for the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service between Khayelitsha, Wynberg and Claremont.

This collaboration started in June 2012 when the City applied for the project to be considered. In October 2015, a contract was signed for the development phase of the project, and the funding was used to devise a project plan for the implementation, operation and maintenance of the main and feeder MyCiTi routes.

This time around, the R300 million grant funding will be spent on the construction of new main and feeder routes for the MyCiTi buses, as well as bus stops and stations, and a bus depot in Khayelitsha.

The MyCiTi service will be connecting commuters with other modes of transport, such as minibus taxis and trains. The fund-

The Orio funding will help establish PTI precinct management entities, and train, guide and mentor those involved in these organisations.

Bringing housing help to tenants The MyEstate mobile office has managed more than 10 000 service requests and queries from the City’s public housing tenants across the metro since it was launched nearly two years ago.

The office-on-wheels provides various tenancy management services.

These include logging service requests on behalf of tenants, assisting residents with rent relief applications, helping with housing database queries and new applications, completing lease agreements and making arrangements for payment of arrears.

Members of staff also assist with general enquiries.

The City’s Arts and Culture Branch is calling on all public artists of all ages – amateur or professional – to submit appropriate, creative designs for its mural design competition. The submission period is from 9 December 2019 to 10 January 2020.

The winning entry will be placed on the wall at the Manenberg contact centre in Vygieskraal Road. The City will provide the winner with the logistics and equipment to apply the mural.

• The application form is available on the City’s website, at any library or subcouncil office, or from Artsand.Culture@capetown.gov.za.

Airport set to expand Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) will undergo a huge expansion programme to the value of R7 billion over the next five years. This capital investment will provide employment and business opportunities.

The City is working with the CTIA to see how it can maximise the benefit for businesses as part of the construction process, and what job creation opportunities there are for surrounding communities.

Literacy winners in final showdown RACINE EDWARDES

S

ozo Foundation‘s literacy competition reached its high point on Wednesday 27 November, when competitors in three categories went head-tohead to determine this year’s literacy winners.

The first inaugural Western Cape Afterschool Literacy Programme, headed by the foundation, kicked off earlier this year.

Learners from Ikamva Youth in Crossroads, Afrika Tikkun in Mfuleni and the Sozo Foundation in Vrygrond took part to find those who have a special love for literature. They participated in the spelling bee, spoken word and poetry categories.

Wendy Abrahams, programmes manager at the foundation, pointed out that, besides teaching the young adults about healthy competition, the contest aimed to ignite a passion for literacy in the learners who predominantly come from underprivileged and under-resourced communities.

She opened the finals with a word of encouragement for the noticeably nervous learners.

“You’ve all competed, you’ve made it to the finals – you’re all winners. So now it’s just the winners competing against each other. And well done for being leaders in literacy,” she said.

In the final round of the spelling bee, 10 learners faced off to be the first spelling bee

champion in this competition.

Jemima Ndamba Mkobi of Sozo was awarded 2nd runner up for her impressive spelling skills, with Ngawethu Sityebi from Afrika Tikkun earning her spot as 1st runner up and Lelethu Kanayo from Afrika Tikkun taking home top honours.

It was only Sozo Foundation learners who were finalists in the poetry competition.

The 2nd runner up was Avela Booi, the 1st runner up was Natasha Sibanda and the winner – for her impeccable wordplay – was Zhida Johnston.

The three competitors in the spoken word category were Lukho Noyila, Simamkele Jonginamba and Simamkele Zweni.

Simamkele came in at number one with her impromptu word on being a black African child in South Africa today.

The judges were Zoe Swartz, Sherena Roux, Orelie Kabaye, Neville Williams, Ronel Mannellepie, Mandy Williams and Yusrah Abrahams from Sozo, and Dorothy Dyer from Friends of Nablus and Surrounding Area (Fonsa), a charitable trust which aims to alleviate poverty.

After the medals and trophies were handed out, Wendy concluded: “Thank you for taking part in the first Western Cape Afterschool Literacy Programme. It was for young people to engage and to love and express themselves naturally, through literature.”

Ngawethu Sityebi, Lelethu Kanayo and Jemima Ndamba Mkobi were the top prize winners in the spelling bee category of the Western Cape Afterschool Literacy Programme.

Some of the recruits during a marching drill.

Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith addressing seasonal firefighters.

Seasonals prepared for summer T

he 119 seasonal firefighters recruited for 2019/20 have started their fourweek wildland firefighting training course and are set to be deployed this month.

The City of Cape Town’s latest batch of recruits is being put through their paces at the training ahead of being deployed in teams to various fire stations around the metropole to assist with the combatting of vegetation fires over the warmer months.

Seasonal firefighters were introduced as an Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in early 2009 to fund the appointment of 40 seasonal firefighters.

The programme has since grown to more than 100 firefighters to increase resources and minimise the risk to lives and property, particularly where vegetation and mountain fires threaten the urban edge.

“Our city has very different firefighting needs to many others, literally because of

the lay of the land, and the seasonal firefighter concept has been an enormous help to overcome that challenge. They perform a vital role alongside our permanent staff to safeguard lives and property, but their presence also means that we have more resources to deal with the other demands on the fire service, like residential fires and special service calls such as motor vehicle accidents. We are immensely grateful to the thousands of candidates who put up their hands every year to try out for the programme,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith.

On average, more than two-thirds of fires dealt with by the City’s fire and rescue service each year are categorised as vegetation fires.

Most of these occur over the warmer months from December to April.

The programme is very popular among

would-be firefighters, with stiff competition each year for the limited number of placements available.

In 2019 the recruitment drive saw 1 632 candidates try out for the physical fitness assessment. Of these, 796 qualified to move onto the written assessment, followed by 249 being invited for one-on-one interviews.

The current batch of recruits was selected based on test scores and a vetting process including criminal checks and 31 of these candidates are returning seasonal staff.

The training course started on Monday 11 November with induction and orientation, and the issuing of personal protective equipment.

All staff will undergo four weeks of theoretical, practical and physical training during the Basic Wildland Firefighting Course, under the supervision of 16 seasonal supervisors.

The curriculum’s theoretical content covers everything from City protocols to fire behaviour and weather conditions, firefighter safety and survival, the tools required for the job and fire suppression methods, among others.

The recruits must complete a theoretical and practical assessment before their training is considered complete and they are deployed.

“This is the final hurdle for our seasonals.

“They’ve already gone through a lot to get to this point, and I encourage them to remain focused on the training at hand, so that they are able to realise their goal of being on the frontline. I also want to extend a special word of thanks to the fire and rescue service staff who devote themselves to this programme each year, not only in the interest of public safety, but also for the development of potential future firefighters,” says Smith.

The trained crew is the result of the academy’s collaboration with the NCC Environmental Services. They, together with 187 young women, who hail from every corner of the province, graduated from Chrysalis Academy on Saturday 23 November.

The majority of youth were unemployed when they joined the academy in August. They have all started one-year internships on Monday 25 November, through the department of community safety’s Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP).

“From all the reports received on past placements, the majority of Chrysalis Academy graduates are doing well in their placements, and we have no doubt that the new graduates will do the same.

We wish them every success,” says provincial minister of social development Sharna Fernandez.

Some students were placed at Portia Primary School while others started internships at municipalities, city improvement districts, community health centres, hospitals, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the academy.

“We are pleased that all students will be productively engaged for the next 12 months.

“We are grateful to all the partners of the academy for these opportunities and we encourage them to continue to support our graduates,” says Fernandez.

The course included a rigorous physical fitness programme, as well as community service in Ocean View and at the academy.

The students also participated in a walk against gender-based violence as part of their community phase.

Safa CT pledges to ramp up safety EARL HAUPT

I

n the wake of the tragic events which saw a young player lose his life on a soccer field, Safa Cape Town (Safa CT) has pledged to increase its safety profile across the local football associations it administers.

Saturday 5 October was a dark day for community football when Imtiyaaz Wagiet left home never to return again.

Sadly, in a match between Bayview’s u.16 team and Strandfontein, Imtiyaaz collapsed on the field with no medical professional or qualified first aider.

According to his coach at Bayview, Mark Rodrigues, he was then loaded into his parent’s car and taken to the nearby fire station.

“People tried to resuscitate him. After 10 minutes they took the boy and put him in his parents’ car. They took him to the fire station. At the fire station, they tried their best to keep him alive. He was there for around 10 minutes, but he then passed on,” he says.

Two years ago, People’s Post, through their freelance sport photographer Rashied Isaacs, highlighted the dire need for health and safety personnel on community sports fields (“Safety no walk in the park”, 14 February 2017), but with the tragic events at Westridge Oval last month, Isaacs’ worst fears were realised.

According to Isaacs, Wagiet’s death once again highlighted the need for thorough emergency planning for all sports and he is determined to bring about change at the different sporting venues, partnering with an accredited company to offer free first aid

training for coaches as far back as 2014.

Earlier this year, Isaacs refused to attend any more Safa CT events unless they addressed the apparent safety issues which saw Wagiet tragically lose his life.

As a result, Safa CT president Bennett Bailey met with Isaacs to discuss his concerns and to pledge their commitment to the safer sports field project.

Bailey then committed to introducing a holistic plan around safety for the 70 000 registered players in the 35 local football associations (LFAs) he leads.

“We have introduced, at a regional level, a constitutional clause where we refer to our medical officer, who is responsible for safety at our events. That we are going to bring and cascade to a local level, so that there is a pathway from local to provincial to national – that we all speak the same language,” Bailey said, adding that these policies now need to be enforced.

“One of the things we are going to start with is to instruct all LFAs to appoint a medical officer in terms of the Safa regional and national constitution,” said Bailey. The new local football season starts in April next year, which is the time earmarked for changes to take effect.

Bailey hopes that players and other informal associations follow Safa CT’s suit by placing more importance on safety.

“It is like boxing where you cannot start the fight without a paramedic or an ambulance being on-site,” he says, adding that even third division clubs will be able to be trained up in first aid.

“We also want the referees to enforce it (safety standards) also, where if there is not

He adds this is one of the final pieces to Safa CT’s overall puzzle, whereby they seek to improve the level of performances of football players, which in turn will improve the standard of football being played locally.

“Part of that process of identifying talent is to get the right athletes – this is where the

safety and our medical officer comes in terms of testing.

When we test athletes we will look at all areas – the bio-kinetics, nutrition and all the areas necessary – for scientific support, but with it also, the athlete needs to be fit. We cannot send an athlete for provincial training at provincial teams if this person is not fit or healthy,” he said.

Scores of runners join hands for good health in Khayelitsha UNATHI OBOSE Athletes from Khayelitsha and surrounding areas celebrated World Aids Day in style on Saturday 30 November by encouraging people to stay fit and healthy.

The athletes took part in the Red Lace Race, a 5-kilometre fun run that started and ended at Luhlaza High School.

The event was organised by various organisations including TB HIV Care, Khayelitsha Running Club, Khayelitsha Health Forum (KHF), Khayelitsha Athletic Club, Epilepsy SA, City of Cape Town, Government Communication and Information System, the Centre for Infectious Disease

Research in Africa, Western Cape Association for Persons with Disabilities and Parliament SA. Scores of seasoned and amateur runners took part in the second edition of the competition.

TB/HIV Care communications officer Alison Best described the event as an awareness initiative to prevent and fight the stigma against HIV/Aids and TB. She said by organising a fun run they are encouraging the positive healthy living in the communities.

She said the idea is to organise the event annually, but funding remains a challenge.

Best said numbers increased drastically from the previous event.

“The first time we had the event the numbers were so small but today people came in numbers,” she said.

Best said they want to eliminate stigma associated with the pandemic which she said leads to defaulting of treatment.

“Other people tend to be afraid of going to the clinic to fetch their medication or getting professional assistance. They are sceptical of asking for help,” she said, adding that people end up getting sick.

KHF chair Mzwanywa Ndibongo described the event as a “great initiative” for Khayelitsha.

“We are focusing on defeating the stigma by hosting an event about a healthy lifes-

tyle which includes socialising, networking and physical fitness rather than speeches. Everyone can improve his or her lifestyle regardless of their status,” he said.

First-time participant Buyiswa Nini (45) said it is important to eat healthy in order to build stronger bodies. She said she started training five years ago.

“When I was 40 I noticed some changes in my body and I also gained some weight.

Then, I started to train regularly to avoid diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure,” said Nini, adding that she took part in many other racing events including the Spar Women’s Challenge and Totalsports Women’s Race.

Langa celebrates achievement UNATHI OBOSE Langa Rugby Club summed up the year in style by honouring their best players for the year during a glittering ceremony held at Guga Sthebe on Saturday 30 November.

The event also coincided with the club’s celebration for being promoted to the Super League B in the new rugby season. The club won the Super League C play-off against Scottsdene Central at Newlands stadium on Tuesday 24 September.

Player and spokesperson for the club Sipho Mgobozi described the event as a big achievement for the club and said it was their main objective as a team to succeed.

Mgobozi stated that they held the event to honour players for their hard work. He said from the u.20 team, Inga Sikrweqe, was awarded the player of the year and his team received certificates for participation in their league.

The second team received the awards for best backline and frontline.

The first team received the awards for best backline, best frontline, player’s player of the season and player of the season. Mgobozi described their secret was working hard and to play united as a team.

“It was about teamwork and commitment.

We were all fighting for success,” he said.

However, he stated that their major challenge is to get a sponsorship.

“Sometimes we have to cough up money out of our pockets for transport. And don’t have tracksuits that players can wear even off the field so that they can be recognisable,” he emphasised.

He added that for next season they want to fimiliarise themselves with the new league to be able to sustain.

“We need to recruit new players to enhance our squad to be able to compete,” he stated.

Some of the award winners are from left, back row: Mfuneko Delo (second team forward of the year) Yanga Mkiva (player of the year), Masilakhe Giyama (most disciplined player) and Inga Sikrweqe (u.20 player of the year). Front row from left: Vakele Venkile (player’s player of the year), Akhona Thembani (first-team forward of the year) and Phaphama Dyantyi (most improved player).

Legends square off in a thriller UNATHI OBOSE

K

raaifontein FC thrashed Napoli FC 6-3 in a legends friendly soccer match played at Mfuleni Sports Complex on Saturday 30 November. With both sides playing an attacking game, Kraaifontein took a 2-1 lead into the half time break.

Napoli manager Siya Homane blamed his defence for the avalanche of goals. “We had a good plan but the problem was the lack of communication in the central defence.

When they were going to the ball they went at the same time and left the back open,” he said. However, he praised his charges for scoring three goals saying it was promising display. He also blamed some of his “quality players” for not pitching up for the game.

Kraaifontein coach Zola Dyan said they had a great game even though they were playing under a scorching heat. “My players showed great character and were desperate for a win. We managed to control the game,” he stated. Dyan said some of his players were a bit rusty due to a lack of game time. “All the players that are playing in the legends are over 35 years. Most of them are coaches from various teams in the Kraaifontein Football Association. They are not playing regularly. So, it was tough to some of them as players,” he said.

Kraaifontein hammered Napoli 6-3.
