Sally Wellbeloved wants to donate a Pajero to the Black Mamba Anti-poaching Unit to save the rhinos.

A Pajero to save the rhinos RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

and the need to get rid of a big problem.

She explains: “After a relationship ended, I was left with a big vehicle that I could not afford. I had helped my partner buy and finance it in my name, so it became my burden.”

She adds: “I tried to sell it, and I tried and I tried and didn’t get anywhere. I was exhausted and ready to drive myself and the car over a cliff and then I posted on South Peninsula Moms.”

She received some advice from a mother

A

fter being burdened with the steep payments on a Mitsubishi Pajero, a Scarborough-resident decided the car may be better utilised by the people fighting to save the rhinos.

But she still needs help to settle the costs.

Sally Wellbeloved, a fine-art photographer, developed the idea of The Power of 2000 initiative with the help of an online forum

who said she should sell the car to several people who would share it.

This wasn’t an idea she thought would work, “but something said don’t dismiss the idea, there’s something here”.

The car’s finance amount was R195 000 and with the new set of tyres needed, she rounded off the number to R200 000 and started fundraising for The Power of 2000.

“With the Power of 2000 we get 2 000 people to each put in R100 and we donate the car to a place that’s fighting poaching (Black

Mamba Anti-poaching Unit) and the car can go and do something amazing, and help to save the rhinos.”

According to a statement, the Black Mamba Anti-poaching Unit is the first majority female anti-poaching unit in Africa.

Founded in 2013 by Transfrontier Africa NPC, it (Black Mamba Anti-poaching Unit) protects all boundaries of Balule Nature Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park.

Upgrade ‘to improve operations’ RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

T

he Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve’s continuous contamination problems could soon be cut down to half the rate of occurrence on completion of an upgrade to the Lowlift Pump Station.

Dating back more than three decades, the sewage pump located in Seawinds has presented various challenges for the community.

People’s Post (“Residents fed up with smell”, 30 July): “The smell is terrible all the time, and worse when it’s hot.”

Other residents have complained about the health hazard it poses for the children at Zerilda Park Primary School, situated adjacent to the plant.

The City of Cape Town began upgrade work on the sewage plant early in August – a win for the residents of Seawinds and Lavender Hill, but also for those who live in Marina Da Gama and others who use the Zandvlei for recreational purposes. The upgrade is scheduled for completion in December next year.

According to Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, the R85 million upgrade will “drastically improve operations in the Retreat and surrounding areas”.

Kyran Wright, estuary manager at the Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve, has recorded 19 major sewage spills in the vlei since September last year.

“Ten of those have been directly attributed to the Lowlift Pump Station. That’s more than 50% of our sewage spills coming from one pump station,” noted Aimee Kuhl, councillor for ward 64.

Three of the 19 spills resulted in the complete closures of the vlei, and another two incidents led to partial closures.

According to estuary mandate, the water is required to remain at an intermediate contact level of 1 000 colony forming units per 100ml of E.coli; meaning partial contact associated with paddling or immersion for a short time. But, Kuhl added: “We don’t recommend swimming anywhere in the vlei – ever.”

Monthly testing is conducted on all of the city’s water bodies to ensure the water levels are suitable for recreational use. But in the event of a sewage spill, Wright will initiate emergency testing. It can take up to 24 hours before results are received.

This process involves liaising with various City stakeholders, testing the water at multiple phases of the contamination, notifying affected communities and, depending on the severity of the contamination, continuing regular use of the vlei or closing the water body for recreational use.

The closure of the water body has a sig-

But despite 19 incidents – with the most recent one being earlier this month – the vlei is in good overall health. Fishermen in the area have reported seeing healthier populations of leer fish and sand prawns than before.

Kuhl attributes this to their swift reaction time to each incident.

“I think we have the best response and communication to sewage incidents in the entire city, at Zandvlei,” she says, adding that claims of the estuary’s poor condition are untrue.

Taking a proactive stance to curb the number of sewage spills that enter the vlei, a damming system is being planned to take shape at the Sandvlei canal from Coniston Park.

The dam will work during the low flow

Thousands prep to run JP21 race The JP21 Mitchell’s Plain Titans race is back, with thousands of runners from across the country already preparing to run the streets of the Plain. For the 12th consecutive year, the race will be presented on Saturday 23 November with a 5km, 10km and 21.1km race open to all ages. Partners include the City of Cape Town, African Bank, Community Chest, and PPC. People’s Post is the official print media partner.

The race will start at Glendale High

summer season, effectively catching sewage in the canal and preventing it from making its way down into the estuary. Once the spill is no longer able to flow, a pump will be used to clear out the waste.

This prevention system will be implemented soon, with a more robust system being conceptualised for the high-flow winter months.

“We are already planning on how to deal with future pressures. We are creating a (plant-based) system that absorbs the nutrients,” says Kuhl, adding: “The vlei is in exceptional health, given the threats that it’s facing.”

She is confident that the completion of the Seawinds sewage plant will relieve the vlei of its current problems and their proactive measures to contamination will see that much fewer incidents will occur.

“As an urban catchment, there’s no quick fix to solve these situations, but what we can do is identify weaknesses in our system.” and R110 unlicenced, while juniors in the 10km pay R50 if licenced and R75 if unlicenced. Entry to the 5km fun run is R20. Online entries will attract a service charge.

Race-day entries, race card and number collections will take place on Friday 22 November from 18:00 to 20:00 and on race day at 04:30 at Glendale High School.

The 21.1km race will start at 06:00 with a cut-off time of 3 hours and 30 minutes. The 10km race will start at 06:15 with a cut-off time of 2 hours and the 5km race will start at 07:30. The race forms part of the Coca-Cola League.

FROM PAGE 1 Her reason for wanting to donate the car to the organisation was threefold. In addition to supporting an amazing cause, she says: “Well, A, they (rhinos) are under such severe stress, and, B, it ties in with the type of vehicle; it’s a very capable 4x4.

“I was thinking of where it could go to fulfil its true potential. It is the most incredible car for tough, African conditions. It was about where it could go and be a real workhorse.”

She spoke to Craig Spencer, conservation-

ist and founder of the Black Mambas, who said the Pajero would cater to the needs of the unit and its sister organisation, the Bush Babies.

“They go to all of the locations and villages and communities in the Kruger National Park area and they’ve got an educational campaign where they teach the kids about conservation. Their car is always breaking down and preventing them from doing their work.”

Currently, she has managed to raise R52 000, and hopes more people will get involved.

“Small actions by many people can produce great results,” she says.

She was invited by Bergvliet High School to do a talk about her story. The school is doing a fundraiser for her cause, trying to raise R50 000 to buy artworks.

“It will be amazing if they achieve it,” she says.

Kite-maker wants children to use their imagination

A Pieter Binsbergen and Bobby Gathoo celebrate #CTKiteFest every year.

777777-QK221019

53-year-old Steenberg kiteenthusiast is preparing to show an extra special creation at the 25th Cape Town International Kite Festival, and he encourages children to learn the craft too.

Bobby Gathoo will be taking his signature, traditional, handmade bamboo kites to the annual festival in Muizenberg on 26 and 27 October; for the 19th time. His passion for kite-making began at the age of five after finding inspiration from his family and his surroundings.

“We grew up in a very poor neighbourhood and to see the beautiful kite creations from more affluent areas nearby – it was always so amazing for me.

I couldn’t wait to make my own.”

He built his first kite from a piece of paper (pulled from a school exercise book), three matches and cotton from one of his mother’s reels.

His specialty is traditional, bamboo-frame kites covered with paper, plastic or material; which have won him several awards at the past kite festivals.

While he personally prefers traditional kites, he says: “there are few craftsmen that have continued making bamboo kites.”

“The challenge with traditional kites is that they’re not collapsible, and prone to break.”

The craft allows the craftsmen – starting out as children – to become innovative thinkers.

“It encourages the youngsters to use it as a platform. When you’re younger, you’re more creative and imaginative. It should be introduced more at the schools,” he says, adding that the sport is still suitable for people of all ages.

He believes the craft is “medicinal and beneficial for your mental health”, because flyers are forced to look up, open their chests, take in the fresh air and vitamin D, enhancing their posture which would become poorer by doing activities such as sitting at a computer.

Gathoo is looking forward to the festival, and says he would not be able to do it without his wife, Vivian, who brainstorms designs with him and sews the fabrics to the frames.

He is currently creating a mystery kite that hasn’t been seen at any other kite events.

“It’s a rush now to get fabric – I’m using rip-stop polyester (parachute kite material),” says Gathoo. He hopes that anyone with spare fabric from kite surfing would be willing to donate to his secretive new design.

Besides his passion, he does it for the children.

“It’s always so rewarding to see the children’s expressions when they look up and see a kite. Here in Steenberg, there’s only about two of us who fly kites. I want to impart what knowledge I have to the next generation. “I want to leave something wonderful for the next generation, for them to improve and make something more spectacular.”

Event host and beneficiary, non-profit organisation Cape Mental Health, has been using kites to generate funds and raise awareness of mental wellness since 1994. The annual kite festival is the highlight of the annual October Mental Health Month campaign, which this year focuses on suicide awareness and prevention.

“With self-harm and suicide rates on the rise, we want to share a message of hope and encouragement,” said Dr Ingrid Daniels, director of Cape Mental Health and president-elect of the World Federation for Mental Health. “Just as kiters use a line to keep hold of their kites, hope can be the line to life. The important thing is to hold on and not let go.”

The festival will take place at Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve and tickets are available on Quicket or at the gate for R40 per person and R15 for children (12 years and younger).

Gallery to uplift the community RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

T

he owners of The Studio Art Gallery want to make the world of art more accessible to the public but, more than that, they want to showcase and develop the talents of local artists.

The gallery, now based at Harbour Bay Centre in Simon’s Town, is a space that coowners Lindy and Mark Alexander use to give artists a platform for their work to be seen by the greater public. They have showcased the works of many local artists and have assisted local emerging artists to enter the industry.

Mark says: “About 90% of the artwork in the gallery are from artists living in the peninsula.

“The peninsula gathers a lot of artists – and good quality artists,” Lindy says.

“A lot of the artists come from Scarborough,” Mark adds.

The gallery boasts artists such as Chris Bladen and Richard Gunston who both reside in Fish Hoek.

The Alexanders also aim to assist organisations in the community through their annual charity exhibition for Mandela Day, “where all our artists who have exhibited at the gallery contribute six pieces. Then we choose a local organisation – last year we chose the False Bay Hospital,” Mark says, explaining the idea behind the Mandela Day Block Art Exhibition.

Lindy adds: “This year we did it for the iThemba School in Fish Hoek. We want to connect with the community as much as pos-

sible.” In line with their spirit of making connections and developing talent, they have launched a project which they hope to build on in the future. “We started our art academy on a Monday,” says Lindy.

“The art academy is part of our 10-year plan at the gallery. We want to build a proper art school on the peninsula.

“We will get proper corporate social investment (CSI) funding to sponsor less privileged artists or young people that we find in the community who show potential. This gallery is kind of a stepping stone towards that,” Mark explains.

There are currently 36 budding artists in the academy, which takes place once a week when the gallery is turned into a studio.

They also try to get the creative juices flowing at a young age by encouraging teach-

ers to bring their young learners on tours of the gallery, and for workshops.

The Winter Life Group Exhibition is another one of the gallery’s annual exhibitions – a nationwide search for new talent.

“Each year we refresh our entire gallery’s exhibition space with a new selection of South African artwork. We also choose four outstanding artists from this selection to represent permanently,” reads the website.

It takes place every year during August and September.

This exhibition – and those throughout the year – offer a unique opportunity to artists who will receive marketing and artistic guidance from the gallery, empowering them to pursue their careers in art.

HOUSING

Masi residents move into new homes A

total of 85 beneficiaries moved into their new homes last week, as part of the Masiphumelele Phase 4 housing project.

Two of the beneficiaries who received keys included Nontshizane Vena (74) and Nomayalo Ntsinga (73). They were both thrilled to move into their new homes which are situated on the same street.

The handover was a first for the housing project, which will soon be home to 227 qualifying beneficiaries from the area, which include the wetland informal settlement, when completed.

The City of Cape Town expressed their content and pride for the milestone that has

been achieved.

“It was pleasing to see these first-time homeowners receive their keys and move into their new homes so successfully today.

It’s especially meaningful as the word Masiphumelele means ‘let us succeed’ in isiXhosa,” said Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi, “These homes will improve the living conditions of these beneficiaries and make a difference in the lives of our most vulnerable residents by empowering them as property owners. As financial assets, these homes will provide the beneficiaries and their families with security.”

The expenditure on this project amounts to R85 million and includes money allocated for the bulk earthworks; internal civil engineering services for the provision of water, sanitation and roads; electricity reticulation; and street lighting.

“As with all housing projects, various inspections were completed to ensure the quality of the homes met the required building regulation standards. Beneficiaries also attended homeowners consumer education workshops where they were informed of the roles and responsibilities of being a property owner,” said Booi.

City will not tolerate unlawful behaviour T

he City of Cape Town is determined to root out irregular behaviour by the taxi drivers in the Cape Town central business district.

JP Smith, the Mayco member safety and security, describes the behaviour of the taxi drivers as intolerable.

He was responding to claims of bullying and intimidation by the drivers against law enforcement officers when they issued warrants to the drivers on Tuesday 15 October.

It is alleged a feud ensued between the officers and the drivers, and an off-duty police officer was robbed of

a firearm.

“Be that as it may, the actions of the group cannot be condoned,” he says.

He warns drivers to abide by the law and be prepared to be held accountable when they fail to do so.

“It is our understanding that taxi drivers were upset about a warrant operation that was taking place, where officers issued Section 72 notices for offenders to appear in court,” Smith says.

He says the City enforces the National Road Traffic Act, which is a legislation applicable to all road users country-wide, and that the City

CONDUCT IN SCHOOLS

Sexual misconduct is no joke NETTALIE VILJOEN

M

emes poking fun at something that shouldn’t be a laughing matter flooded social media following the release of Bishops Diocesan College principal Guy Pearson’s statement that the prestigious private school is investigating allegations of misconduct by one of its teachers.

According to the Sexual Offences Amendment Act, the age of consent is 16 for boys and girls in South Africa. This means a consenting relationship between an 18-year-old and a 30-year-old, for example, is not deemed a criminal act.

However, Dr John Buswell, chief executive officer (CEO) of Rape Wise, says when the older person is someone who holds a position of authority over the younger, it could hold severe emotional implications. Rape Wise is an organisation made up of health care professionals who are responsible for

running rape crisis centres and who provides training to the departments of education, health and justice.

Buswell says Rape Wise handles about 200 to 300 such cases a year. In some instances, learners engage in sexual relationships with teachers in exchange for extra marks or extra tuition.

He poses the question: “The moment the one party is in a position of authority over the other, the relationship is manipulative and, therefore, wrong. The problem is, as the younger party, how do you break away from it?” He says learners often feel forced to continue with the relationship. This can lead to anxiety attacks, panic attacks and even idealisation of suicide. “Learners are not emotionally mature enough to handle a stressful situation like this. It can lead to not wanting to attend class or to failing exams,” he explains. The South African Council of Educators’ (Sace) code of conduct stipulates that

teachers should refrain from improper physical contact with learners; from courting learners from any school; from any form of sexual harassment (physical or otherwise) of learners; and from any form of sexual relationship with learners from any school. Teachers accused of contravening these stipulations can be called to appear before a Sace tribunal and, if found guilty, it has the right to remove them from Sace’s registered list of teachers, barring them from teaching again.

According to Sace’s 2018/2019 annual report, the occurrence of sexual abuse in schools is increasing.

Reports of sexual abuse by teachers rose by more than 230% since 2014, Sace told parliament on Wednesday 9 October, when it presented its findings to the portfolio committee on basic education, Media24 reported. Sace CEO, Ella Mokgalane reportedly said 636 files were opened during the year

under review. Of the cases dealt with by Sace, 93 were of sexual misconduct.

Buswell says it is important for parents to keep communication channels with their children open.

“And they should not be enforced. Children should feel free to approach parents.

They need to know that their parents will listen and advise, not judge,” he says.

A change in children’s’ behaviour should be a warning sign for parents. This could include increased anxiousness, withdrawing from social and school activities or becoming secretive or private about what they are doing. “Also keep an eye on their social media activity. Do they have a startled or fearful response to a message? Is there a change in their habitual use? For example, where they previously would read and answer WhatsApp messages in front of family members, are they now going to their room to do so,” Buswell concludes.

Night-time trade proposal for the city Efforts to grow the night-time economy (NTE) have been gaining traction in some of the world’s most prominent cities. The NTE is a catalyst for increasing a city’s attractiveness, developing its cultural offering and creating jobs.

The Sound Diplomacy’s guide to managing cities revealed that the New York NTE contributes US$10 billion to the city’s economy; whereas in Sydney the NTE accounts for approximately 10% to 16% of the central business district employment; while the NTE is worth 6% of the United Kingdom’s gross domestic product or £66 billion annually. “I am excited to announce that the City of Cape Town is considering the potential opportunities associated with the NTE in Cape Town central and surrounds,” says James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management.

The City’s Enterprise and Investment Department, the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Central City Improvement District (CCID) have formed an NTE working group. The group has been developing and sharing knowledge, which will be used to boost the outlook on the NTE.

A study is being planned to determine the potential economic outputs and job creation opportunities that the NTE offers – both directly and indirectly.

“Depending on the results, my team will develop an action plan for implementation consisting of cross-cutting responsibilities.

I am confident that the NTE holds the key to economic growth and employment opportunities. I am excited that Honours students from UCT have been assigned the task of conducting research in this area, supervised

by Professor Francois Viruly and Professor Kathy Michell (HOD) from the Urban Real Estate Research Unit. Further research will also be concluded by the City in the 2019/20 financial year,” says Vos. Research conducted in several major cities has revealed the value and NTE economic spinoffs made by restaurants, taxis, hospitality services and entertainment, among others. “I am also of the view that Cape Town will benefit from this approach as it will diversify leisure and commercial activities, become a source of employment and additional revenue for the city, while boosting tourism,” says Vos.

Capitalising on night-time economy is a priority for local entities.

NSRI’s pink buoys save lives The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) presented its Pink Rescue Buoy emergency flotation project at the International Lifesaving’s biannual World Conference on Drowning Prevention (WCDP) in Durban on Friday 11 October.

NSRI’s drowning prevention manager, Andrew Ingram, addressed delegates from around the world, explaining where the idea originated from, how it has been funded and implemented and that to date the pink rescue buoys have been used to save the lives of 46 people who were in danger of drowning.

Ingram said the Pink Buoy project was launched in November 2017 following the WCDP in Vancouver where they were in-

spired by the success stories of similar initiatives. A project in Hawaii reported 150 successful bystander rescues with no harm to the untrained rescuer being reported in any of these rescues.

A project started in 1971 in Ireland also had phenomenal success in getting emergency flotation to a drowning victim while emergency services were responding.

Ingram said an observation from similar projects that were happening around the globe was that untrained people were going to the aid of someone who was in danger of drowning despite being advised not to.

“Our Pink Rescue Buoys use simple graphics to explain that it is better to throw the float to someone and call for help.

But if someone does go into the water despite the danger, they have a much better chance of survival if they take flotation with them,” said Ingram.

Sea Rescue has the support of many municipalities to put this emergency flotation in drowning hot spots.

Each Pink Rescue Buoy costs R1 500 and is privately sponsored which means that there is no cost to the municipalities. “We currently have 463 pink buoys at drowning hot spots around the country.” Ingram hopes support from individuals and compaThere are 463 pink buoys at drowning hot spots around the nies will help expand the country. project.

Rubber to burn at Killarney at the weekend Killarney race track will burn rubber the coming weekend as Killarney Motor Show returns. The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena.

The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrol-heads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross and drifting specials.

Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life.

To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in.

The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your

life. Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then. That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades.

There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western

Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels.

But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful racing cars and bikes.

The Streetcar Show on the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrol-heads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, American-style musclecars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar.

V Book at Computicket (https://tickets.computicket.com/event/killarney_motor_show/6926375) or pay at the gate, both events for R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free for children under 12.
