eachgoers and residents are urged to be patient while the grass restoration project along the beaches at Sea Point Promenade is underway.

The project will be carried out in different phases with the last phase scheduled for next year.

The ground (between Sea Point Pavillion parking area, Marais Road and

Mouille Point) has been aerated and weeds removed. Areas have been cordoned off with tape to warn pedestrians.

According to Nicola Jowell, councillor for ward 54, this is the second phase of the project. The first phase focused on the Three Anchor Bay parking area and the Adventure Playground.

The last phase, which will include Milton Road kids play area, the Fort Road kids play area, the Marais Road to Rocklands Road, and the area around Three

Anchor Bay, will be carried out next year.

Jowell says the damage to the grass was caused by the recent droughts as no watering was allowed. She says some parts were damaged by the presence of site offices during the construction work on the sea wall and the repaving of sections of the promenade.

“The parks department, along with expert horticulturists, determined the onset of spring would be the best time to do this work, In winter, it would have been

too cold and would not have been optimal,” Jowell says.

She adds the project also looking at permanently assigning 20 expanded public works programme (EPWP) workers on the promenade next month. They will be involved with weeding, cutting grass, loosening the soil and picking up litter.

“These additional hands will help ensure the upkeep of the new grass and the preservation growth of the old grass,” Jowell says.

Buzz at annual Halaal exhibition NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

L

ocal and international business people flocked to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in support of the annual Africa Halaal Week.

The week was celebrated from Monday 7 October to Wednesday 9 October.

The celebration was hosted by Wesgro in partnership with the department of economic development and tourism and the City of Cape Town.

The event started with a business networking function and was followed by a twoday-long exhibition.

There were over 64 halaal stalls offering unique products from beverages and food to fashion, Muslim banking and media.

Towfiq Hendricks, head of the district unit, said the event has grown compared to

last year, and this proves the increased demand for more exposure for Muslim businesses across the continent.

He said the future of businesses is in the positive networking and marketing, which Wesgrow is determined to provide.

He said Africa Halaal Week is not aimed at celebrating the religion or culture, but it provides support to businesses.

Zaida Enver, the event organiser, said having 24 international buyers and a lot of people coming to support the exhibition was the best part of the event.

She, however, said numbers alone would not be satisfactory, but “to see business taking place, seeing the exchange of business cards and watching exhibitors and buyers is what makes me happy. That is what this exhibition is about.”

Local entrepreneurs said the gathering created a great platform to market their

products, and it was amazing to see other entrepreneurs showing interest in their work.

Jennikle Roux, general manager at Healey’s Cheese, had not made any sales at the time of doing the interview, but said: “I have created leads and exchanged business cards.

That is good, because we are here to showcase our work. For orders, we will definitely have to make follow-ups with the prospective buyers.”

Another entrepreneur, Frits van Ryneveld of Darling Sweets, said the exhibition was educational for him as he got to learn about the expectations of bulk buyers from different aspects of the continent.

He was also impressed by the mutual interest in the use of recyclable material within the business sector.

He said the boxes and sweet wraps they use at his business are recyclable, and guests at the exhibition were impressed by

the concept.

An international buyer, Zachary D. Lee, from Malaysia, was impressed by the variety of halaal products South Africa has to offer.

His interest was in Rooibos products, saying his pharmacy uses it in manufacturing medicines and herbal products.

He said he was able to learn more about the variety of products that South Africans use it for, and how it is best packaged.

David Maynier, the provincial minister of finance and economic opportunities, said the department was delighted to host a successful Halaal Week for a second time.

He said the province is home to a large Muslim population and is among the world’s most friendly destination for Muslims.

Maynier said this year’s event is a great example of the provincial government focus on export-led growth in the halaal economy.

City’s homeless study questioned NETTALIE VILJOEN

S

o how many homeless people are there in Cape Town? With World Homeless Day marked around the world on Thursday 10 October, this conundrum was again under the spotlight.

An answer, provided by an enumeration study conducted in November 2018, has been drawn into question by service providers who work with the homeless.

According to the Western Cape government’s 2019 statistics, released to the press in June, there are about 4 862 homeless people in the greater Cape Town area, with more than 700 living in the central business district (CBD).

This constitutes a 16% decrease when compared to the findings of a study done four years earlier. The study released by the City’s then Mayco member for social development and early childhood development (SDECD) Suzette Little ’s directorate, “Street People Research 2014/15”, found there were 7 383 homeless people in Cape Town at that time.

Jon Hopkins, chief operations officer (COO) of U-turn, a registered Christian nongovernmental organisation (NGO), says the reality experienced by U-turn or any of its NGO partners across the City is the exact opposite. U-Turn, focused on the rehabilitation of the homeless, keeps extensive records on numbers of people it sees yearly.

“These numbers have not decreased; the number of individuals accessing our services has increased by 35% since 2015,” Hopkins says. Social worker Ian Veary of the Street Peoples Forum (SPF) – a sector body formed by organisations whose clients include people living on the streets of Cape Town – and The Hope Exchange, says they have had a similar experience.

“The demand for the range of services that are on offer at The Hope Exchange has shown an increase in the number of individuals accessing our services. This includes economic migrants from other provinces as well as people displaced locally due to gang violence, parolees from prison not able to re-

Subways sport coat of many colours NETTALIE VILJOEN

O

nce covered in unsightly graffiti, the Station Road subway in Observatory now boasts a rainbow of colours.

Observatory residents teamed up with the Observatory Improvement District (OBSID) and acclaimed artist Tanya Bonello to transform the subway tunnel into a friendly and accessible space over two consecutive weekends in September.

“This is the second completed community arts project. The first one was held at Trill Road Station subway on 24 and 25 May. The community took ownership of this space and four months later it is still graffiti-free” says Amanda Kirk, chief executive officer of OBSID. Prior to the makeovers, graffiti artworks and tags were removed from the subway walls, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Straatwerk – a non-profit organisation – and its “Projekt OPHelp (Project Operation Help)”. OBSID continues to fund its work in the public spaces of Observatory.

Bonello, a mixed media abstract artist who works primarily with gypsum, oil paint and found objects, is the driving force behind the subway projects.

She lives in Observatory and uses the subway tunnels to cross from the east to the west side, daily. In May, she had the idea to turn the formerly dark and somewhat depressing subways at Observatory train station into bright and cheerful spaces.

Bonello believes all space is sacred and worthy of being celebrated. Pixels (single squares of colour which together form the whole of a digital image) were the inspiration behind the Trill Road design.

“It represents the digital age that we are living in, but, besides the symbolic meaning, the design is also very practical. Everyone can colour in a square,” she says.

The design of the Station Road subway’s makeover was drawn from rainbows and what they represent.

“A rainbow is comprised of seven different colours. Each of these colours is vibrant and beautiful. It demonstrates how beautiful diversity can be.”

She explains how it also symbolises peace, serenity and hope, and how it too can be broken down into single blocks of colour which are easy to paint.

“We wanted to make the arts project as accessible as possible. Residents passing through could just pick up a brush, paint a square or two and then move on, or they could spend three hours helping out – it was up to them,” says Bonello.

Both projects enjoyed the support of the community. About 30 residents pitched in at the Station Road subway arts project.

“There was lots of singing, talking and children running around. And every single person passing through expressed their joy and gratitude,” says Bonello.

Kirk says the makeovers also had a positive effect on the people who work there.

“The cleaning teams take extra care to keep the subways neat. Projects like these help to raise the level of pride they have in their work.”

OBSID funded the materials for the subway activation as part of its arts, sports, heritage and culture portfolio. Six people from its Streetscapes project – a work diversion programme for people living on the streets – also assisted during the Station Road makeover.

Kirk explains: “The programme gives homeless people a sense of belonging and something constructive to do for six hours a day. One of their assignments is street cleaning – and they are collecting up to 130 black bags of refuse per week – helping to keep the streets of Observatory cleaner.

Those on the programme are supported by social auxiliary workers and social workers on an individual basis and also learn to work and function in groups.”

Kirk and Bonello say projects like these uplift the community.

“Thank you to OBSID for funding the project, and with gratitude and love to all the people who contributed their time and energy,” says Bonello.

Kirk also thanked George Kiewiets (Metrorail special project manager for the Western Cape region), who picked up a brush and joined in during the arts project.

Kiewiets says Prasa appreciates the support and great work done by Kirk and Bonello in beautifying the two subways.

“They have inspired other communities to do similar projects – building South Africa towards a great, self-sufficient nation, starting in our community, every day,” he says.

To access the full agenda and all supporting documentation 72 hours before the meeting go to www.capetown.gov.za/subcouncils. Highlight the date of the Subcouncil meeting, choose the Subcouncil you require and download the agenda. Please report any difficulties to the relevant Subcouncil Manager.

Raising funds for MCSA NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

M

issing Children South Africa (MCSA) has been identified as the beneficiary of the upcoming fundraising event, which is set to be hosted by M.A.D CPT on Saturday 30 October.

Different local artists are expected to share the stage, entertaining crowds at 89 Long Street from 19:00.

Thomas Houghton-Dixon, the spokesperson for MCSA, says the non-profit organisation (NPO) is delighted to be on the receiving end of the fundraiser. He says people do not always think of MCSA. “Funding remains our biggest need, and we rely solely on the goodwill of individu-

als and corporations for financial support.

We provide our services free of charge to everyone who needs us, but sadly, we don’t necessarily enjoy the same privilege for our needs.”

He says their financial requirements often outweigh their resources and all donations are appreciated.

Thomas says MCSA works with various stakeholders to raise awareness and help find missing children. They operate nationally. He praises their social media following for the majority of their success stories. He says on Facebook alone they have more than 91 143 followers and 93 447 Likes – excluding the individual networks of board members, volunteers and other affiliates which Thomas says make for effi-

cient, instant mass distribution of flyers, within moments of an need.

Bioni Luis, leader of Woodstock-based M.A.D CPT, says the idea of supporting this NPO “came from us being very concerned about what’s happening”.

He says they want to use what they do best – music, to create awareness and play a part in fighting violence.

According to Luis the line up for the fundraising event include DJ Jussie, Dream Seaker and C Charma, Arabella, Luxman, NattyD Dycee, Strife Blood, Tash Ay, Nu Vader Rayzer, Walume Boys, Taboo no Sliso, Next Generation and DJ Cairo to mention few.

Teach your children: . They must always walk to or from school with a friend or friends. . If they get picked up at school, they should never leave the premises. . Younger children particularly must never get into a stranger’s car; even if the stranger claims that someone they love is hurt and that they have been sent to pick them up. . Consider using a password system. If the person collecting them from school cannot repeat the password you and your child agreed on, they should not get into the car. . If a stranger approaches your child, they should not talk to them. . If your child does encounter any suspicious activity, encourage them to get a good look and memorise their physical details and clothing, as well as their vehicle. . Make sure your children memorise their full names, address and phone number.

Using a play phone, teach them when and how to dial 10111.

Remind students: . Older children should be reminded to keep their valuables out of sight at all times and not to use headphones because dampens the ability to sense surroundings. . Alter their route: If they are walking home or to public transport they need to alter their route. “If you feel threatened, you can at least knock on someone’s door for help if you’re walking through a familiar neighbourhood.” . If you are using a taxi service, ensure it is a bona fide service provider. . Be extra cautious to go and meet anyone who befriends you on social media. Always meet in a public space with two or three friends as backup. . Be cautious to be lured by people offering you a job or modelling contract.

Woman Zone Club prospers NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

S

even years later, the Woman Zone Club in the CBD has turned into a “full-on” movement for women.

The club was established in 2012 to create a platform for women to meet and read together, sharing books at The Women’s Library at Artscape.

It is now a place of relaxation for up to 30 women of all ages and diverse cultural groups who have become regulars of the club every second Saturday of the month from 14:00.

The club’s executive director, Nancy Richards, says it all started as a simple initiative for women to share each other’s stories.

Over the years the club has seen local women publishing books, and they recently added a new feature that is hosting a female author to talk about their latest title at the monthly gatherings.

The most recent guest was Sally Andrew, the author of the Tannie Maria Mystery series – Death on the Limpopo on Saturday 12 October. The next one will be Tracey Farren, the author of The Book of Malachi on Saturday 9 November.

A member, Theresa Smith, adds that they also host guided walks when they have a chance.

“As we walk, we talk and share our different perspectives and experiences of the city,” she said.

She added that they have more walks in the pipeline. “So watch this space,” she says.

The club also hosts a Story Café which includes panel discussions, writing and poetry workshops, book launches and other events. Membership is free but booking seats to the gatherings is essential.

V For more information or to join, email info@womanzonect.co.za or visit the Facebook page Woman Zone CT or www.womanzonect.com.

In partnership with Marlene le Roux, the chief executive officer of Artscape, the Woman Zone Club now has more than a 1 000 books.

However, he got more than just marks. The project has since been a subject of much discussion and has scooped numerous awards.

ART

Celebrating Africa in Simon’s Town RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

A

n exciting, new exhibition showcasing the beauties of the African landscapes

Claire Lowden exhibits her new work, From Africa with Love, in Simon’s Town from Friday.

Aspire Art Auctions presents a live auction called P5: Curated Gallery Auctions this evening (Tuesday 15 October) from 19:00.

P5 stands for the different artwork that will be auctioned, which are paint, patina, photography, paper and pages.

Bidding will be run in conjunction with that which opened online last week, on

and characteristically African techniques will be held next week at Harbour Bay Centre from Friday 18 October.

Claire Lowden, a Meadowridge resident, will be exhibiting her newest body of work at The Studio Art Gallery at the centre in Simon’s Town.

Explaining why she created the exhibition called From Africa with Love, she says: “I think we are incredibly blessed to be living under an Africa sky. The detail of our floral kingdom is incredible and the people are lovely, and I want to capture that.”

Mark Alexander, director and co-owner of the gallery, says they are excited to open the exhibition.

“We make the exhibition space available and invite emerging artists to make use of the opportunity we give them to exhibit in our gallery.

“We do maintain a high standard, and artists have to meet a criteria before we say yes and this encourages the artist to build an entire body of work,” he explains.

Lowden is especially excited about From Africa with Love because it will be her second solo exhibition, which allows her to continue to pursue her passion for art – a pas-

sion she was only able to focus on later in her life.

“At school, I did science subjects as I wanted to study occupational therapy. And although this profession enabled me to use creativity as part of the patients’ treatment programmes, I still yearned to express myself creatively.

“Therefore, when I turned 40, I gifted myself with art lessons. Then when I turned 50, I started ceramic classes. Painting in oils and working with clay is incredibly fulfilling,” she says.

She has used these techniques to show her perspective of Africa, and the beauty that she sees.

“This body of work is inspired by the colours and energy of the African landscape, its flora, fauna and people. Smoke and sawdust fired ceramic pots reference indigenous trees, flora and fauna and ceramic sculptures have a hand-painted finish that reveals the essence of the subject,” read a statement on the exhibition.

The exhibition will open on 18 October at 18:00 and will run for two weeks.

Integrated auction in town Tuesday 8 October.

It is a second time the company hosts an integrated auction, which the organisers say makes art collecting more accessible and convenient.

“Focusing on the materiality of art, this thematic collection of historic, modern and contemporary artworks ranges in media, artistic processes and subject matter to emphasise the creative value that art possess-

Angela McQueen, co-owner of a lush garden, says a resilient garden is within anyone’s reach. And, with sufficient research and planning, it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and leg.

Over the past seven years, using her working knowledge of indigenous and exotic drought-tolerant plants and her husband’s (Alister) knack for “making things”, they have established a lushlooking garden that relies solely on greywater and harvested rainwater.

Angela’s little slice of paradise is one of four diverse gardens – each practising sensible water management – which will feature at Open Gardens Constantia on Friday 18 October and Saturday 19 October. Steps taken to earn this Meadowridge garden the water-wise stamp of approval include over four cubes of mulch (two truckloads) to cover the soil in a thick layer for water retention and cooling, a simple greywater system (a tank with a float switch), four water tanks with a combined capacity of 8 500l to capture rainwater, and four soak-aways/ French drains to hydrate deeper soil structure and retain water on the property. Plants were also grouped according to water needs and suitable indigenous, as well as drought-tolerant exotic plants, were used.

Large trees were retained and not trimmed back to provide shade. “The fallacy exists that trees are not great in water-wise gardens. Trees are essential in so many ways. Plants are more resilient and require less water if their roots are cool,” she says.

And for Angela, when it comes to gardening, “resilient” is the keyword. A resilient garden can survive change beyond the normal, and then recover well.

Many of the measures taken in their garden were inspired by her interest in permaculture design – the development of

sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystems.

She also implements these principals in her garden consulting and plants sourcing business called Small Space Gardens.

In her blog (www.smallspacegardens.co.za), she gives four basic principles to achieve a water-wise garden. . Do as nature does. A plant will most likely thrive if you can duplicate the environment in which it has evolved. . Water. Permaculture teaches the four S’s: slow it, spread it, sink it, and store it. Soil is the best water reservoir there is. Try and keep all water that comes to your property by using gullies, swales and planting hole basins to prevent runoff and to give it time to soak into the ground. . Plants. Choose the right plants for your soil type and select plants naturally geared to survive drought. Also mulch, a lot of it. . Group plants with the same water needs. For example, if you have plants that need a little more water such as Plectranthus, plant them in a suitable location and ensure they receive greywater regularly.

Once you have set up the basic infrastructure and design of the garden following these principles, the next step is choosing your plants. “Do your research first,” she advises.

She suggests driving or walking around your neighbourhood to see what type of plants are thriving in your area and where they are situated.

For garden hacks, read Angela’s blog or visit her garden during the Open Gardens event. Money raised will go towards food garden projects through the organisations: Sozo Foundation and Soil for Life.

es and to give collectors an opportunity to access new artistic currencies,” a statement reads.

Organisers say the auction will be made up of three sessions which also include a large collection of books as well as a special section of affordable quality works under R10 000 for easy collecting.

OPINION EDITORIAL

CABLEWAY TURNS 90: The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company celebrated 90 years of service with a glittering event on Friday 4 October. The cableway first started transporting passengers back in 1929. The event was attended by mayor Dan Plato, Mayco member James Vos, past and present Cableway management team members, and representatives from the local tourism and hospitality sector.

Pictured is a cake made for the celebration.

Recognise the power of stokvel W

e are approaching the festive season, and there can surely be no better time to recognise the power of an age-old African community savings mechanism: the stokvel.

Stokvels have been the savings ‘engine room’ for South African communities through apartheid and into democracy; and they remain very effective today, even within the context of the country’s troubling poverty.

According to research, R44 billion is saved collectively by 820 000 stokvels in South Africa each year, and more than 11 million South Africans are currently members of stokvels. In addition, according to the National Stokvel Association of South Africa, our stokvel market is worth more than some of South Africa’s largest businesses.

The vibrancy of local stokvels is one of the reasons why most of the major financial brands have launched specific accounts and services to meet their needs.

Although the stokvel has traditionally been a cash-based community savings tool, today a whopping 41% are considered ‘banked’ and use, at the very least, a transactional account.

There are a lot of money management options out there for stokvel leaders to consider.

These range from opportunities to take advantage of the better interest rates paid by investment accounts to shopping discounts offered by bulk buying.

There’s no question that with smart decision making the group’s money can be made to work harder, but for this to be true there has to be a careful analysis of costs versus rewards.

(It is important to examine) the fine print of any financial product for additional costs, including hidden monthly membership charges, along with additional line items buried in obscure terms and conditions text.

This is the golden rule for all financial products. You can win or lose a lot in the fine print – and if you have never even read this text or understood it, there’s a good chance your collective could be losing money.

Individual stokvel members might also be able to put away more money than they think.

The key again lies in understanding fine print of financial products such as credit life insurance, which members most likely pay for on their credit facilities.

Yalu’s name has become synonymous with credit life insurance, the least understood form of long-term insurance in the South African market. Credit life insurance covers borrowers’ debt in the case of retrenchment, disability or death. This type of insurance is sometimes mandatory and is generally offered by the same financial institution offering the loan.

The premiums charged for such policies can vary, and as a result a lot of consumers find themselves unwittingly paying the maximum possible premium every month – creating room for savings if they were to choose a different provider. As always, information is crucial. Because many consumers aren’t aware of the details of their credit life insurance policies, they’re losing out on potential savings every month, and this money could contribute significantly to their overall savings efforts. Once people understand this, they are more likely to take the simple steps they need to in order to reduce their monthly commitments.

As most stokvel members are already aware, there are only two ways to improve your financial situation: spend less or save more. In both areas, paying attention to all the details of financial products and services can have a big impact on the individual, and therefore the group. If, as a broad South African society, we improve this Nkazi Sokhulu, co-founder skill, our stokvel and chief executive officer heritage will at credit life insurance grow stronger brand, Yalu. than it already is.

LETTERS I am sick of it!

I would like to know why the residents of Muizenberg and Marina Da Gama constantly have to put up with riots from the people of Capricorn and Vrygrond?

Why are the water canons, that were so quickly used against peaceful female protesters, not brought out at all for these criminals? Why are they allowed to do this and yet if a law-abiding citizen decided to deface government property as they do then we would swiftly get arrested? I am so sick of stressing about not only my vehicle or property being damaged but stressing about my two young children in the back of my car getting hit with a brick as we try to get to school and work. Honestly, I do not understand why this is tolerated! And I am sick of it!

Please advise what is being done?

Tomorrow will be too late ...

South Africa is dying of its own self-inflicted wounds.

The minister of police, Bheki Cele, is out of his depth. He is incapable of solving the crime problems of South Africa and needs to be replaced immediately.

We have the best laws but no enforcement. Replace Cele with a senior policeman and or an army colonel with zero tolerance, to head up the police and the army.

As for all the killings, the death sentence is all that will stop that.

Nothing else will work. The time is now, Mr President, tomorrow will be too late. You will soon wake up one morning without a country.

Terrorism is on our doorsteps Terrorism in the widest sense is the use of intended violence, usually against civilians, for political purposes. Recently two metro enforcement staff were killed whilst protecting a municipal housing project intended for poor folk on the Cape Flats.

Before their murder, other security staff including workers, were also hurt and killed. This is not the first or last time when folk busy with service delivery issues are hurt or killed by criminals.

Street cleaners and other municipal staff also have to seek cover when thugs with no respect, shooting willy-nilly. Ambulance and other staff are attacked and robbed when trying to assist the needy. The situation is wasteful as this costs taxpayers more money as the jobs take longer and cause more delays in critical service delivery. The time has come for the definition of terrorism within the South African context to be expanded to include actions that impact on critical service delivery like the ambulance services etcetera. Also, when thieves steal cables causing delays in the train schedule, this action must be measured a terrorist attack and not just as cable theft. When a munici-

pality builds housing for the poor, an attack on the workers must be considered an act of terrorism because of its implications. When poor people wait years for housing because some thug wants a bribe, taxpayers cannot permit this cruelty as delays can lead to riots etcetera due to frustration. Criminals already rape and kill at school, universities and at the post office. We are robbed at the bus stop, at the train station, inside the bus and train and at shopping malls. Must we reward thugs with our taxes as well? Drastic action is required as regular criminal law has failed to provide safety. Even the army on the Cape Flats has had a slight impact as thugs have no respect for our enforcement authority and continue with crime.

Recently a daily tabloid clarified that a Cape Flats man was robbed but had nothing. The robber then decided to rape the man instead. When this type of evil replaces normal crime, then a different approach is needed. We need government to regard all violent crime as a terrorist action so we can return the death penalty.

Happy birthday Archbishop Tutu We recently celebrated Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s birthday and his contribution both to South Africa and the world regarding his fight against social injustice and freedom.

I had a profound encounter with him at the Women’s Day celebrations at Artscape Theatre a few years ago.

The Arch enjoyed my Madiba impersonations, and enthralled the audience with his anecdotes.

I interviewed his daughter, Reverend

Mpho, on their collaborative book, The Book of Forgiving.

As I sat next to the Arch, an icon and world peacemaker, Nobel Peace Laureate recipient, I was fascinated by his hands which depicts hands which has laboured much for humanity.

Both Mpho and Marlene le Roux held the Arch’s hands, which visibly displayed him being God’s hands and feet.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDT, Lansdowne

Be wary of fake news on social media It is quick and easy to share any security information or warnings on social media but if you didn’t confirm its authenticity before posting, you might end up doing more damage than you think.

We are seeing more and more fake news posts relating to crime warnings and other security and safety news hitting the likes of Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The intention might appear to have been noble and praiseworthy but it often turns out to have been in reality driven by less than honest motives.

These items often fuel the agenda of an individual or group and promote fear-

mongering based on false information.

By forwarding the information you are promoting fake news.

When it comes to security-related fake news the effects are all the more harmful. Criminals are often behind securityrelated fake news items. Their objective is to promote their own selfish agenda, whatever that may be.

It can lead to wasted resources. The police and security companies may respond to a particular fake news item claiming an incident has happened, for example, while criminals target another area. This is why it is so important to verify any information you receive before forwarding it. It is also important

to watch what photographs you post.

Posting a photo of an alleged suspect could result in that case potentially being thrown out of court at a later date.

The important thing to remember is – if there is any doubt as to the legitimacy of the information, don’t share it.

Information can be verified through the police or other security authorities.

We all need to be responsible when it comes to spreading information, especially relating to safety and security.

Otherwise, we could be responsible for igniting fires where there are no fires at all.

Gatlin glitzes up Green Point Y

oung athletes between eight and 13 from all over Cape Town gathered at Green Point Athletics Stadium on Saturday 12 October for Western Province Athletics’ “Little Athletics” event and open event.

The occasion was made all the more special with the presence of three-time Olympic gold medallist Justin Gatlin, who along with fellow Olympian Sharrieffa Barksdale, were on the lookout for the best young athletic talent to form part of their Born 2 Be Elite programme.

The annual Little Athletics series started on Saturday, 28 September at Vygieskraal.

These events introduce children to track and field activities and offer a series of competitions that promote a “be your best” attitude.

The emphasis is on fun, participation, performance and improving technique. The aim of the programme reflects WPA’s mission and particularly focuses on promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic activities.

Born 2 Be Elite, has a vision to build a long-term programme that

creates an international “speed” community, with South Africa being identified as the initial focus area for the initiative. The aim is to develop: communities, athletes, coaches, resources and infrastructure.

The long-term programme is to cultivate grassroots sports programmes in community hubs, as well as developing an elite squad through the latest technology.

Gatlin and Barksdale wowed crowds, with Gatlin vowing that they aim to expand the programme locally. “We have a couple of ideas we want to bring to light for Born to be Elite, to partner with other athletes as well to be able to enrich the programme here,” he says, adding that the local hospitality has had him awestruck.

“I am loving it here, this is like a second home to me,” he added, before providing some wisdom for young athletes to hold true to. Keep believing in yourself. Keep dreaming. Don’t let anyone take your dream away from you. It’s going to be hard sometimes and like the sun, there is also the rain. Remember the hard times and keep believing in yourself.”

Riyaad Avontuur of Athlone (right) is excited to take a picture with Justin Gatlin, who is on tour in Cape Town to promote the Born 2 Be Elite programme. He made a guest appearance with former Olympian Sharriefa Barksdale at the Western Province Athletics little league event at Green Point Athletics stadium on Saturday 12 October.
