Residents in a survival battle UNATHI OBOSE

W

ith rising temperatures, mounting piles of rubbish and the risk of airborne diseases, Section 16 residents, in Philippi, are calling on the City of Cape Town to speed up the process of appointing a cleaning company.

Residents say refuse has not been collected since the start of the year and the area has turned into a “pigsty”.

In an interview with City Vision, resident Nwabisa Masiza said there has been a drastic increase in dumping since the last refuse collection towards the end of last year. “The bad thing is we are not informed about what is happening by our leaders. We just see the piles of rubbish uncollected along the road while other rubbish is dumped on the open spaces between the houses,” said Masiza.

She urged the City to urgently hire another cleaning company before things get out of control. “The last time the rubbish was collected was before Christmas Day. Lots of flies and an unbearable stench is coming into our houses,” she said.

Masiza said they had a similar challenge at the beginning of last year. (“Cleaners in Block 8 down tools”, City Vision, 28 November 2019).

Ward 80 councillor Nkululeko Mgolombane described the illegal dumping as a big challenge in his ward as there are no cleaners. He said the City is busy with the process of hiring a new company to clean the area.

“The contract of the last company that was working there ended at the end of December.

And some officials were already on December holiday, but the company will be hired soon,” he said but didn’t confirm which month.

Mgolombane said the situation is exacerbated by people who renovate their houses.

They are also illegally dumping.

Mixed feelings about matric results UNATHI OBOSE Education forums from Khayelitsha and Gugulethu have expressed mixed emotions about the recent matric results and urged the provincial department of education to put in more effort, especially in township schools, to help improve their results.

Khayelitsha Education Forum (KEF) chair Nomawethu Mosana praised loca high schools for the great performance. “We are happy with the performance even though there are some schools that didn’t do well.

We hope that this year they will pull up their socks. Out of 20 schools, nine of them obtained above 80% which is a great achieve-

tem in Gugulethu. “We have people who have an interest in education. People who retired and are still willing to assist learners in after school programmes. We want them to volunteer to help the children,” he said, adding that educators must not only focus on matric learners they must start preparing learners from Grade 8.

ment. We will visit those schools who didn’t do well in an attempt to find out where the problem lies,” she said. However, she also raised questions about resources at some schools. Speaking on behalf of the Gugulethu Education Forum (GEF) Vincent Domingo, Gugulethu Development Forum secretary, described the matric results in the area as embarrassing. “We are not satisfied at all with the results. We used to have at least one school in the top 20 in the province but now we are below par. This year we are not expecting anything less than 90% from all the schools,” said Domingo.

He urged all community stakeholders to come on board and save the education sys-

Ubethwe ngebhotile kuba eyi ‘mofi’ UNATHI OBOSE

L

le, qha ukuba wayengenwe yintoni ngelaxesha wayembetha nathi asiyazi kwaye yile sifuna ukuyazi,” utshilo ecaphuka.

U-Qonongo utyhole umsolwa ngokusebenzisa igama elinentiyo komnye umntu.

“Kutheni ezobiza igama le ‘mofi’ xa kugqitha uBulelani abe engathethi namofi. Ngoba oyena mntu owaziwa ngobumofi yayinguBulelani,” ubuze watsho uQonongo.

Waleke ngelithi inkangeleko kaBulelani ayisayi kuphinde ifane nanje ngakuqala ngenxa yamanxeba asebusweni bakhe.

Ongumseki wombutho wabantu abathandanayo nabasini sinye, iFree Gender, eKhayelitsha uFuneka Soldaat uchaze esi sehlo njengesimanyukunyenzi nesihambisa umzimba. Uthe sifuna uthathelwa ingqalelo.

Uhambise wathi bengamalungu emibutho yabantu abathandanayo nabasini sinye bazakumxhasa uMajeke nkqu nasezinkundleni zamatyala.

“NgoLwesibini (umhla wesi 6 kweYomqungu) besinentlanganiso namapolisa aseHarare sihlalele lo mcimbi sikwafuna nokuqonda ukuba kumaxa bendawoni na malunga nophando lelityala. Sizakulilandelelela neli ityala ukuqinisekisa ukuba umrhanelwa uyabanjwa,” utshilo Soldaat.

Isithethi samapolisa kwiphondo uAndre Traut usingqinile esi siganeko watsho esithi indoda engumrhanelwa ibanjiwe.

ukhubeke luyinyama usapho lakwaMajeke kwingingqi yakoo 34, eHarare, kwaye lufuna umthetho udlale indima yawo emva kokuba unyana wabo ehlaselwe ngobusuku bangeCawe umhla wesihlanu kweyoMqungu.

Ngokwengxelo uBulelani Majeke (ominyaka ingama 35) kutyholwa ngelithi ubethwe ngenxa yokuba engumntu othandana nabantu abasisini sinye.

Le ndedeba, neyaziwa njengo KC, ishiyeke ineenkenkebula zamanxeba amabini, entloko kunye nasesidleleni.

Kudliwano-ndlebe ne City Vision uthe wayehamba neetshomi zakhe besuka kwenye indawo yentselo besiya kwenye ngethuba ekhwazwa ngomnye umfana embiza ngokuba uyi “mofi”.

“Lo mfana undibethileyo wayeme nomnye bencokola ngelixesha sizayo. Sithe xa sigqitha netshomi zam wakhwaza wandibiza ngemofi. Ndiye ndajika ndaya kuye ndambuza ukuba ngubani imofi? Uphendule ngelithi akathethi nam uncokola netshomi yakhe. Ndambuza ukuba kutheni esitsho xa kugqitha mna ngoba lo mntu ame naye akayomofi,” uthethe watsho.

U-Majeke utyhole ngelithi lo mfana umhlasele ngebhotile yotywala ngethuba besonyukelana. Ukwagxeke umhlobo walo mfana wamhlaselayo ngokubashiya ngethuba besonyukelana.

“Andiyazi ukuba wayengenwe yintoni okanye wayenxilile,” utshilo uMajeke.

Waleke ngelithi uyiqhelile into yokuthukwa ngabantu ngenxa yesini sakhe. Uthe bengabantu abathandana nabantu abasini sinye ubomi babo busesichengeni nanjengoko bengamkeleki kwiindawo abahlala kuzo.

Othethela usapho nokwangudade boMajeke uNqabisa Qonongo uthe belusapho bothukile ngoba bebengayilindelanga le nto yehlele umntakwabo.

“Sisafuna ukuyazi ukuba yintoni unobangela wokuba uBulelani abethwe? Apho ingumnqa khona siyamazi lo U-Bulelani Majeke uthungiwe emva mntwana ubethe uBulelani sa- kokubethwa ngomnye umfana kuba zi nabazali bakhe. Ayingomn- esithi uyimofi. UMFANEKISO: UNATHI twana ondlongondlo, uzithule- OBOSE

Minstrels dish out a spectacular he Cape Town Street Parade (Tweede Nuwe­jaar), held on Saturday 4 January, again had thousands of spectators shaking their booties as they watched 42 Kaapse Klopse troupes march by.

Hosted by The Kaapse Klopse Karnivaal Association (KKKA) and supported by the City of Cape Town, the event featured approximately 10 000 individual performers.

The groups marched from Hanover Street in District Six, along Darling Street past City Hall and the Grand Parade before taking on a route that came to an end in the Bo-Kaap.

The City supported the event with funding, deployment of City services and assisting with logistical arrangements to ensure a safe event.

Mayor Dan Plato said it was a fantastic atmosphere.

“The various minstrel groups put on a magnificent performance and ensured that

T

the thousands of people lining the streets were thoroughly entertained.

“We want to express our gratitude to all those who made the day possible and the troupes for a wonderful event which contributes a lot to the City’s cultural heritage, development and the local economy,” Plato said. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said the annual street parade is one of Cape Town’s flagship events.

“The City has a vision for the event’s longterm growth and we believe the three-year agreements we signed with some of the organisations are part of ensuring that. This will ensure the event is secure, safe and has certain guarantees which will assist the event organisers in attracting more corporate sponsorship,” he said.

The street parade is just one of several minstrel, Christmas bands and Malay choir events that the City is supporting over the coming months.

Forty-two troupes participated in this year’s Cape Town Street Parade.

The event featured approximately 10 000 individual performers.

All-female crew await the call AVRIL FILLIES

T

he all-female firefighters wild land crew, consisting of 15 women that completed the three month nature conservation programme at Chrysalis Academy, are rearing to go. They are known as the Nature Conservation Corporation (NCC) all-female wild land crew and hail from Capricorn, Retreat, Philippi, Bonteheuwel, Khayelitsha and Mfuleni.

“The crew is the result of a successful partnership between the NCC, Chrysalis Academy and the (provincial) department of public works, with support from Vergelegen Wines. The project officially kicked off on 25 November 2019, after a recruitment process was performed,” says Kylie Paul, superintendent of the crew, the first of its kind in Africa.

“There were a large number of women interested in the programme and the 15 that graduated were interviewed, performed a fitness test and were then hand selected by a large panel including myself. Every member of Team Juliet completed an elective fire fighting skill phase during their three month programme. All of them loved this part,” she says.

Chrysalis Academy is hosting them while they search for accommodation and a base.

“We are currently still searching for a

home base, looking into many options, but we are lacking a degree of sponsorship on this matter. We are also trying to source a vehicle that could transport us to and from fires. Any support on this from anyone would be greatly appreciated,” Paul says.

People’s Post asked why they became firefighters and here are their responses: Zimkhitha Nqetelo (22) from Philippi: “The reason I became a firefighter is to rescue animals and my crew when they need me, also to destroy trees that could be a danger to all of us and animals (widow-makers).”

Tarren January (27) from Bonteheuwel, one of the crew leaders): “When I applied to become a firefighter I knew I had to commit myself and that it would positively change my world and my perspective. I always loved being out in nature and exploring the wilderness, also because of my love for animals and new adventure, I decided that being a part of this team, I could contribute by lending a hand to this very important cause. It is an honour to be a part of this mission to save and protect wildlife, as well as human beings – instead of turning a blind eye to the beauty of nature that can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.”

Sisanda Bam (25) from Philippi: “I want to be a firefighter to save people’s lives, communities and animals. I also like

Team Juliet, the all-female crew of the Nature Conservation Corporation that are awaiting their first call to fight a fire.

to work with people.”

Sharne Maritz (19) from Retreat: “When I was young I witnessed my community burn down. It was horrible to see people’s lives burning away. Firefighters came but could only save some of the properties and a few people at a time. At that moment I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. Whenever I see a fire-truck drive past me I get filled with excitement, it’s a burning feeling, wishing it was me heading to the fire. Now it is. I can’t see myself doing anything else. I was told I couldn’t be a firefighter because I was a weak woman, yet that did not stop me. It’s tough, dirty, amazing and an important job.”

Anelisa Thwasile (23) from Khayelitsha: “The reason I chose to become a firefighter is the love for the job and I am willing to take any chances that may come my way to save the world and to prove to some women and young girls that this is not only a man’s job.”

Nyameka Makeleni (25) from Khayelitsha: “A firefighter is the closest thing to a hero.

My dream was always serving my community. I am serving my community… I became a firefighter because I love it!”

Paul says the male colleagues have been a huge support from day one!

“They are so excited to have us and constantly offer advice and assistance in getting started up or on projects. They cannot wait

to see us out on the line beside them. The integration with the male contingency has been effortless and really special.

“They totally support this project and understand why it is so important. Many of the male firefighters have roots in Working on Fire, where there are male and female firefighters that are integrated into the crews,” she says.

Sesethu Stuma (male hotshot, crew leader and very experienced firefighter): “The NCC Juliet Crew, for me, is ready to respond to any fire. From what I saw when working with them on an alien clearing job was that they have the potential and energy.

I am looking forward to seeing them on the line.”

The women have been undergoing all the relevant wild land and fitness training that is required to perform this highly skilled, amazing and physical job.

The crew has officially been on standby and ready to respond to call outs since Thursday 2 January 2020.

“We have not received a call out yet, and we have faced some operational hiccups, but are constantly training, studying and eagerly awaiting our first call. As the ladies often say, “When the going gets tough, Juliet gets going,” says Paul.

Kylie Paul, Zimkhitha Nqetelo and Belinda Tshanga, all smiles and ready to go.

Identikidz tags help reunite 318 lost children Thanks to the City of Cape Town’s Identikidz programme, 318 children who were lost on 16 of the Western Cape’s beaches were reunited with their parents this school holidays.

Since the start of the programme in midDecember more than 121 335 children have been tagged.

The programme, which registers and issues young beach visitors with an identification armband, has grown significantly.

Already nearly 50% more children were tagged this season.

The City is quick to point out, however, that it is not a babysitting service and should not replace the responsibility of parents to supervise their children at all times while they’re on the beach.

City’s Mayco member for community services and health, councillor Zahid Badroodien, says it simply means that should a child wander off, the City is able to find their family.

“All the children who were lost on our beaches were reunited with loved ones and to date this year, there has been a decrease in the number of children lost. For the same time during the previous season, 82 519 children were tagged and 523 lost,” says Badroodien.

Factors which contributed to children going missing on beaches include:

. Children come to the beaches without parents or an adult; . Parents are intoxicated and don’t realise the child is gone; . Parents who leave the beach without their children; and . Parents do not supervise their children while they are on the beach.

In terms of water safety, there have been no further drowning incidents since before Christmas, with the confirmed number of fatalities at 13.

“We continue to run awareness campaigns to highlight the most common reasons for drowning, to encourage water safety and provide other important information that may reduce potential risks when swimming.

“Despite our best efforts, bathers still neglect their own safety and our lifeguards have their hands full keeping everyone safe,” says Badroodien.

The programme con- The City of Cape

Warrning on prison extortion scam Correctional services has issued a statement, warning members of the public of a fraudulent scheme which extorts money from family members of newly incarcerated offenders at Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison. The area commissioner of Pollsmoor management, Clifford Mketshane, says there have been reports of family members receiving anonymous, threatening phone calls in relation to offenders at the prison. “According to the B Order under Chapter 1 Admission of Prisoners, Standard Minimum Rule 44 (3), prisoners (un-sentenced and sentenced) must be given the opportunity to inform their next-ofkin of their admission to prison and furnish the address details themselves (should they so wish). If the prisoner does not wish his/ her next-of-kin to be informed of his/her imprisonment, this must be indicated on the back of the warrant and the prisoner must sign next to this entry.” Mketshane says certain offenders manipulate this right by offering an unauthorised cellphone to newly incarcerated offenders. “By doing so they now have the contact details of the family at hand and this gives them the opportunity to extort money from family members of the newly incarcerated offender.”

He says that a call received from a cellphone number by someone purporting to be a correctional services official should not be regarded as an official call. “The correctional centre admissions office will phone you from a landline to inform you where the offender is incarcerated and if he or she has bail or a fine that needs to be paid,” says Mketshane.

Injury cost him a Dubai debut AVRIL FILLIES

I

t was disheartening for SA Sevens player Darren Adonis, originally from Mitchell’s Plain, when he could not make his debut in the SA Academy team in Dubai last month due to an injury he picked up during training.

“The reality sunk in immediately at the training that I could not participate in an event that I was looking forward to. I am sure that each player in a similar position would feel the same way after looking forward to play for their country and picks up an injury before you set foot on the big stage. I was not only disheartened but also frustrated, and discovering that I had a grade two shoulder tear added to the gloom. Beside my better judgement, I actively participated in the third day of the event, leading to two weeks of unbearable pain,” he says.

He left Mitchell’s Plain as a child and moved to Melkhoutfontein, a small town about ten minutes from Stilbaai. Here he completed his primary school at the Bertie Barnard Primary School. He did his high school at Oakdale High School in Riversdale.

“After completing my schooling in 2016 I was recruited into the junior team of the Bloemfontein Cheetahs. I was fortunate to be part of the triumphant senior team during the 2019 Currie Cup. I also joined the SA Sevens Team, also known as

the Blitzboks, in October last year,” Darren says.

He was born into a supportive family and each one played a role in his rugby career.

“They not only played a vital role in my journey as a sportsman, but also in my upbringing. If I had to pick an individual that had the most influence, it would be my mother. She has always been an unwavering pillar that I could depend on no matter the circumstances,” he says.

Darren’s main objectives in 7s rugby are to play on the HSBC World Series circuit, participating in more tournaments, the Olympics in Japan and hopefully partake in the 7s Rugby World Cup in 2022 in Cape Town.

“I don’t really have any hobbies.

In all honesty, I have dedicated a great portion of my life to rugby, and by doing so I gave up on the opportunity to find hobbies. When I am awarded ‘down time’ it is spent with friends, family and my partner,” he says.

Being small in stature he was constantly told that he would never make it in the rugby world and that is why he admires Cheslin Kolbe.

“We are more or less the same build and height. Cheslin was told that due to his physique he wouldn’t amount to much, but he went on to prove all the naysayers wrong. Just look at his performance during the Rugby World Cup in Japan last year.

“My experience with the Cheetahs is one that consists of countless lessons, both good and bad memories, lifetime friendships, and most importantly: if you want to obtain good results, you have to work for it. I also played in four Pro14 matches for the Cheetahs,” he says.

When he was selected for the academy team he was filled with excitement and anticipation.

“Although I could not participate in every game in Dubai it was a memorable experience, especially when we won the gold medal in the international invitational men’s competition.

“My message to young players is to never give up. The road to success will never be an easy one.

There will always be naysayers and there will always be criticism. It is up to you to decide whether you’re going to allow these bumps in the road to derail you or if you’re going to set your mind to it and never give up,” Darren says.

He is currently training at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sports in preparation for the next two legs of the HSBC Series in FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 January; and on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February in the Bankwest Stadium in Sydney, Australia. These two legs will be held at the end of the month and the team will be announced by the coach, Neil Powell, before they leave our shores.

Latsha moving to Europe UNATHI OBOSE

S

outh African women’s rugby captain Babalwa Latsha has made a name for herself by being the first woman to play professional rugby abroad.

Latsha, who resides in Khayelitsha, has signed a contract with Spanish club Eibar.

She left the country on Thursday 9 January.

The former Western Province captain described her departure as a great achievement in her rugby career. “Playing abroad is everybody’s dream. And being the first woman from the country playing in Europe is history and can never be erased by anyone,” she said.

Latsha, who plays as a prop, said that her departure gives hope to many young women particularly those from disadvantaged areas.

“My job now is to put my country on the map and pave the way for other South African women who wish to play abroad.

“I’m going there to build a platform for the future generation. My attitude and behaviour will show how South African players are,” she said adding that she is going to Spain to express herself.

The former soccer player said she started playing rugby in 2014 at the University of Western Cape (UWC) while she was studying her Bachelor’s degree in law.

“I grew up playing football for Goal Hunters

FC in Khayelitsha. So, I played rugby by chance, because I was added into the squad to fill the numbers for the team to play in the Intervarsity Tournament which was held in Pretoria in 2014,” she said.

She was one of the reserve players but then one of their players got injured and she had to replace the player and since then she never looked back. “That was my first time touching a rugby ball. I never played rugby before and my teammates supported and encouraged me to play,” she said adding that she joined the team because she wanted to tour.

Latsha has been instrumental in the Springbok women’s team that played in the Women’s World Cup qualifying games last year. The World Cup will take place in New Zealand next year.

She said she is playing for both the South Africa women’s sevens team and the Springboks. Latsha encouraged other athletes to balance sport with education so that they can have something to fall back on after retirement.

“I always have great ambitions because when I was playing football I wanted to play for Banyana-Banyana. I always think ahead of what I’m doing,” she stated.

Latsha stated that people must not allow their backgrounds to determine their destinations.

Rainbow soccer tournament hopes to unite communities UNATHI OBOSE A long-awaited soccer tournament kicked off on Saturday 11 January in Philippi and is expected to finish the end of the month.

At least 32 teams from Philippi and surrounding areas are participating in the Rainbow Annual Soccer Tournament.

The event is held at both Vuyiseka Sport Complex and Browns Farm Soccer Ground.

Some of the teams that are participating are from Khayelitsha, Dunoon, Mitchell’s Plain, Crossroads, Philippi, Lower Crossroads, Samora Machel, Kraaifontein, Mfuleni, Heideveld and Mandalay.

Event organiser Brain Matiwane said it is the second time the event is taking place. He stated that their objective is to create a relationship and unite different communities.

“We know sport is a universal language and people like it. We want to remove all the barriers that were created by the apartheid regime to separate us and be able to live together in harmony,” he said.

Matiwane said their dream is to see people

moving freely in any community without being judged based on race.

“We want to create a relationship between blacks and coloured people. We want to see black people going to Mitchell’s Plain or Heideveld and also coloured people doing the same in our townships, without fear,” he stated.

Matiwane said the tournament is still in the group stages and the knockout stages will start this coming weekend.

“The finals will be played on 28 January.

The winner will walk away with R10 000, a trophy and medals. The runners-up will take home R4 000 and medals,” he stated.

He described the tournament as a platform for unknown players to showcase their talent.

“We have invited officials from other leagues to come and scout players for their teams. Players have an opportunity to play in better leagues next season if they are scouted,” said Matiwane.

He added that they want to take the youth away from the streets.

FC Porto displayed good football skills when they beat Hot Spurs 5-1.

One of the opening games that was played at Browns Farm Soccer Ground on Saturday 11 January. FC Porto(red and blue) from Philippi hammered Hot Spurs (black and white) from Mitchell’s Plain 5-1 in the group stages.
