ark Kleinschmidt, councillor for ward 60, and three revenue officials from the Plumstead regional office addressed residents of Lansdowne and surrounds about rates, rebates and indigent benefits at a meeting at Lansdowne civic centre on Wednesday 20 November.

Approximately 20 residents attended the meeting. “I was hoping for more attendees as I believe that it is important for pensioners to know how to save a penny or two,” says Kleinschmidt.

Beryl Simpson from Kenwyn sent a message to Kleinschmidt after the meeting in which she expressed her thanks.

“Thank you for the meeting last night (Wednesday, 20 November). A pity that attendance wasn’t good. To me it was helpful. Thanks again”.

Pensioners are encouraged to apply for relief via their local walk-in centre (regional offices in their communities) by sending an email with the necessary information to rates.rebate@capetown.gov.za or by downloading the application form for pensioners and social grant beneficiaries.

SHOPPING

Hit the jackpot on Black Friday S

ome people love it. Some people hate it. But whatever your feelings on Black Friday, the one thing you can’t do is ignore it.

South African retailers and consumers have embraced America’s favourite shopping day in all its excess. And in case you thought we might have a subdued Black Friday this year, search trends show otherwise.

Black Friday can be incredibly profitable for retailers and smart consumers alike, but we need to go into it with a reality check. It’s been an incredibly tough financial year for us as South Africans, and we can’t go in with the same mind-set of finding a bargain at any cost.

Half of Black Friday accounts are in arrears six months down the line.

I’m a big believer that Black Friday is a marvellous opportunity for retail, but there’s a way to do it wrong and a way to do it right.

And I’m not just talking about avoiding frenzied crowds bashing down doors.

As the CEO of TransUnion Africa, I get to see a different picture than most people, and how their spending and lending habits on Black Friday might affect them down the line.

It’s been speculated by many commentators that Black Friday is one of the more dangerous times of the year for poor credit behaviour

if consumers don’t carefully think about their purchases before swiping. To confirm this, we looked at new account openings made during the week of Black Friday 2018 (19-26 November) compared to the same week a month before. The results were eye-opening.

We found that people were more likely to take out loans and increase their spending limits during the Black Friday period – to the tune of a 37% increase in new accounts and a 21% increase in total credit limits for new credit cards, clothing and retail revolving accounts.

The majority of this growth came from higher-risk loans – there was a 49% increase in retail instalment accounts (normally used for furniture and electronics) and a 30% increase in retail revolving accounts (normally used for electronics, homeware and general appliances).

That’s not unexpected – home electronics and appliances are as much a part of Black Friday as presents and crackers are of Christmas. The problem comes after the madness has worn off. Our data shows that six months on, just over half of new retail revolving accounts taken out during Black Friday 2018 were more than one month in arrears.

So, shoppers beware. That flat screen TV or PlayStation that’s on special for half the price might seem like a good bargain at the time, but it could lead to some very nasty debt down the road.

Top Tips for Beating the Black Friday Blues Now for the good news. Black Friday doesn’t have to end in tears and arrears.

By following these simple rules you can avoid getting caught up in the hype and walking away with a maxed-out credit card and seven new retail store accounts you can’t afford.

Start with a health check Before you start dreaming of shopping carts full of electronics, take the time to

Know your target It pays to do some basic prep work in the weeks leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Go in with a plan of what you’re looking to get out of it – is your washing machine in need of an upgrade, for example? Focus on a few things that you need, especially when it comes to big ticket items like furniture and home appliances. Be ruthless if you have to be – if you want five things, but can only afford one, rather devote your time and energy to the one thing you need the most.

Don’t roll the dice when it comes to price With your targets set, it’s time to do the groundwork of what you’re likely to pay.

Search on Google, Bing or price comparison sites like pricecheck.co.za to get a feel for what the products you’re looking for normally cost and what retail sites you might find them on. Go to the online sites themselves and see what the current price is.

Knowing the prices beforehand will allow you to sniff out the real bargains and avoid misleading “discounts” that aren’t what they say they are.

Put your chips aside Waking up on Black Friday can feel like stepping into a casino – there’s just way too much to see, do and spend, and you’ve got the temptation to play until you hit the jackpot and find a really great bargain. That’s why it’s a good idea to follow the old gambler’s credo of only putting down what you’re willing to lose. Set a maximum spend limit based on your research of what your must-have items cost and what you can afford, and stick closely to it on the day.

Set your sights on the right sites Just like there’s nothing more fun than hitting the jackpot, there’s also nothing more annoying than missing out on it because you’re too slow. Let your Black Friday wish list guide you. Bookmark the relevant retail sites and even product listings if you’re looking for a very specific item, in order to instantly access them on Black Friday. Sign up to newsletters and download the relevant apps to be served push notifications and check the best deal round-ups that many sites release. Assuming they’re not overrun with people, visit a few stores in your area that sell the items on your wish list.

Think before you pay Before you finalise your shopping cart or head to the till, take one final look at what you’re about to buy. If you’ve done the research, you should have a good feel for what counts as a well-priced item and what you can get for nearly the same price or don’t really need. Pay cash where possible instead of signing up for a new account or charging to your credit card. When in doubt, drop whatever doesn’t offer good value or isn’t one of your must-haves.

Don’t sweat it if you don’t get it Remember, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just the start of the festive retail season. Don’t get so caught up in the false urgency of timers and limited availability that you buy something you don’t need or that could put you in financial difficulty. Put your wish list aside until it’s time for summer, Christmas, New Year’s and end-of-season sales, and then follow these same strategies.

The countdown has begun. Start your prep-work, set your limits and remember – it’s better to walk away with less than you wanted than it is to do so with unnecessary debt. Shop smart, spend wisely, and you could be enjoying your most successful Black Friday yet.

– Lee Naik, CEO TransUnion Africa

know your own financial health. Do you know what you already owe? Have you pulled your credit report to see whether you have debts you are unaware of? The more you understand your current financial health, the more realistically you can set limits as to what you can afford.

With Black Friday scheduled for Friday 29 November, it will no doubt have shoppers flocking to take advantage of bargain prices.

There will also be a rush of shoppers bustling to get their festive season shopping done over the next few weeks.

“We are urging all shoppers to be vigilant at malls and shopping centres and to be aware that we generally see a spike in follow-home incidents at this time of year,” says Charnel Hattingh, national marketing and communications manager of Fidelity ADT. In most cases, shoppers are followed home from the malls and hijacked in their driveways.

“Criminals are aware these shoppers have a car full of newly-purchased items and are generally easily distracted targets,” she says.

She advises shoppers to keep an eye out for any suspicious vehicles when exiting the shopping centre.

“If you suspect you are being followed drive immediately to your nearest police station or security provider guardhouse,” she says.

Hattingh also reminds drivers to remember the general hijacking safety tips such as waiting in the road for the gate to open before driving in, and making sure the gate is closed properly behind the vehicle before getting out.

“When in the mall or centre carry as little as possible in your handbag or pockets and rather leave unnecessary bank or store cards and large amounts of cash at home.

“A packed clothing store or supermar-

ket is the prime hunting-ground for a pick-pocket or bag-snatcher. And, never leave a handbag, purse or wallet in a trolley. If you don’t use a bag or do not take one along, keep your wallet or purse in the front pocket of your jacket or trousers. Criminals are also targeting phones so make sure your phone is out of sight either in a zipped-up bag or in a front pocket,” she says.

“If you are drawing large amounts of cash, take someone along to keep watch while you are at the ATM and to keep a lookout for any suspicious individuals or vehicles on the way home. If you can avoid drawing large sums of cash, do so.

Electronic payments are the safer route.”

Your safety outside the mall is just as important as it is inside, she adds.

“Before you exit the mall, have your keys ready so that no time is wasted to get your purchases and yourself into the car.

“This also means that you’ll be able to hold onto your handbag as you walk. If someone does try to snatch your handbag, let it go. Do not resist or fight back,” she advises.

Hattingh suggests avoiding shopping late at night.

“While the idea of a quieter shopping mall may seem appealing, you are more vulnerable in the car parks, mall bathrooms and the likes.

“If you have no other choice, be vigilant and report any suspicious individuals to the mall security. Let’s make our shopping experiences happy and crimefree,” she says.

Fishermen in the focal point An exhibition of photographs by Ellen Elmendorp, titled Trekkers; Fishermen at Sunrise Beach, False Bay is being held at the UCT Irma Stern Museum in Rosebank.

The Dutch photographer came to South Africa in 1988 after living in Europe and Latin America. This year she focused her lens on local fishermen.

Elmendorp started working on this photo story this year but she says it has drawn her attention and interest for years.

“I often swam and walked along Sunrise

Beach and would see the trekkers pulling in their nets. I would buy the freshest of fish: cob, harder, yellowtail. In the old days also steenbras but they now have to throw them and other endangered species back.”

She says the months she spent photographing these fishermen only increased her respect for their work, their incredible physical strength and their deep knowledge of the sea, fish and season.

Parents get a positive mindset SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

A

group of 26 parents and grandparents have successfully completed a sevenweek positive parenting workshop aimed at modernising parenting skills.

The workshop was presented by The Parent Centre with participants from Mitchell’s Plain, Eagle Park, Southfield, Panorama, Bellville and Eerste River.

The participants are recruited from The Parent Centre’s three support groups aimed at assisting parents who are in need of guidance. Further participants are recruited through advertising on social media and local newspapers.

The support groups are hosted at Lentegeur Library, Lobelia Hall in Lentegeur and the Thusong Centre in Tafelsig.

The workshop started on Thursday 10 October and concluded with a certification ceremony on Thursday 21 November at the Lentegeur Library.

Berenice Scott, a parent facilitator and certified life coach, says the group includes mothers, fathers, grandparents and any other caregivers.

“The sessions were held every Thursday for seven consecutive Thursdays,” says Scott.

“At the support group they learn and unlearn and then relearn child behaviour.”

She facilitated the workshop with fellow parent facilitator, Ester Wilson.

The sessions covered effective discipline, building children’s self-esteem, listening to children’s feelings, understanding children’s behaviours, assertiveness and engaging cooperation, problem solving, values and family meetings.

Parents were also encouraged to employ

“This training has given us insight on dealing with our children. I did not realise there was rules. There are better ways to deal with children.

“I also know that building a relationship with your child is of the utmost importance,” she added.

Shinaaz Adjiet, another participant that also took part in the temperament training workshop offered by the Parent Centre, says although her children are now older, she has learnt skills that she can pass on to other mothers and implement as a grandmother.

Thembela Printers lends a hand AVRIL FILLIES

T

he Easy Riders Motorcycle Club in Cape Town with branches all over the country is one of the beneficiaries of Thembela Printers in Bellville when they were sponsored with flyers and business cards to promote their 50th anniverasry.

Thembela Printers is one of the 14 local businesses that is supported by the GrandWest Enterprise and Supply Development (E&SD) Programme. Thembela Printers have been identifying one organisation a month, whether it is a non-government organisation, an artist or a business in need of printing.

“We sponsor event-related printing servi-

ces to organisations, schools and individuals to help them stretch their limited budgets a little further,” says Warren Meyer, owner of the company.

The business also undertook to work in their communities in an attempt to “pay it forward”.

“For the first half of the year we sponsored the posters to promote colon cancer awareness, the Vulture Productions for the Woordfees Fringe Festival and Vrystaat Fringe Festival, the City to City Worship Evening and the 50th anniversary celebration of the Easy Riders Motorcycle Club,” Meyer says.

Their sponsored services includes the printing of tickets, posters and flyers for events.

“We’ve also recently expanded our Community Assistance Programme to include a Sales Partner-programme which gives struggling/unemployed individuals the opportunity to earn an income, or an additional income,” he says.

Thembela provides free training and assistance on both online and offline offerings, and provide them with their first set of business cards and flyers with which to market themselves.

During 2018 and 2019 GrandWest supported these companies to buy equipment and other essentials. GrandWest provided financial support to the businesses through grant funding to the value of R2 633 000, direct costs of R966 000 and business support with

UCT collaborates on TB vaccine clinical trial The South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (Satvi) – located at the University of Cape Town – as well as Biofabri and International Aids Vaccine Initiative (Iavi) recently announced an ongoing clinical trial to further evaluate the novel tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidate MTBVAC in an adult endemic population.

TB is one of the top 10 leading causes of all deaths worldwide and kills about 1.6 million people annually. Each year, about 10 million new cases of TB are detected. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that the annual global economic burden of the TB epidemic is more than $20 billion (over R296 billion).

Mark Feinberg, president and CEO of Iavi, said: “We believe this trial is an important step on the path to addressing one of the world’s most urgent public health prob-

lems.”

Esteban Rodríguez, general manager of Biofabri, said: “In 2008, Biofabri acquired the commitment to make available MTBVAC vaccine worldwide and at an affordable price. Such a commitment enhances Biofabri’s involvement in the fight against tuberculosis disease, particularly in low-income countries.”

BCG, the only TB vaccine currently used for the prevention of TB disease, is derived from a bovine, rather than human, strain of TB bacteria. It is effective in preventing severe TB disease in infants and children. In adults, however, BCG has only variable effectiveness in disease prevention. MTBVAC is a live, attenuated (weakened) form of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB in humans. It might be more effective in preventing TB disease than

BCG. Because it is attenuated, it does not have the ability to cause disease in healthy people. A Phase Ia trial showed that MTBVAC demonstrated a similar safety profile to BCG at a similar dose.

The clinical trial, designated A-050, is a Phase Ib/IIa safety and dose-finding study of MTBVAC. This trial is designed to test different doses of MTBVAC and collect additional safety and immunogenicity information in healthy adults with and without evidence of having been previously infected with TB bacteria. It also has the potential to show whether vaccination with MTBVAC produces an immune response distinct from the response to BCG. In A-050, up to 144 participants at Satvi trial site in Worcester, South Africa, will receive either one administration of MTBVAC at different doses or BCG at the standard

The companies also received business support, where professionals help each business with their specific needs such as marketing, finance, accounting systems and strategic support.

“We have been working very hard on our Enterprise and Supply Development Programme and we are so excited to be able to announce that these businesses have been able to employ so many extra people,” says Genevieve Smith, sustainability manager at GrandWest. adult dose. Participants will be monitored for safety and immune response for 12 months after vaccination.

Satvi in Cape Town is a collaborator in the clinical trial. Professor Mark Hatherill, Satvi director, said: “This trial is being conducted in two important populations for TB vaccine development – adults with and without previous TB infection – and will help to shape our thinking about vaccination strategies for young adults in countries where TB is endemic.”

Trial collaborators are University of Zaragoza (Spain), which developed the vaccine candidate; the Spanish biopharmaceutical company Biofabri, which is the vaccine candidate sponsor; Satvi; and the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (TBVI). Iavi is the trial sponsor. Funding is provided by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the US Department of Defense through its Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program.

Results for A-050 are expected in 2020.

CHILDREN’ RIGHTS

Locals join to make a statement T

he Cape Town Museum of Childhood joined this year’s Infecting the City Public Arts Festival with a statement piece showcasing more than 100 headline posters that relate to the violence against children in Cape Town.

The museum’s statement piece took place along Government Avenue and Wale Street in the Cape Town city centre on Thursday 21 November. Members of the public were invited to collect a poster and to stand in solidarity with the cause.

Participants included early childhood development teachers and principals from Delft, Bonteheuwel, Grassy Park and Wesbank, and representatives from various nonprofit organisations such as The Justice Desk, Inclusive Education, Breadline Africa, SAEP, Philisa Abafazi Bethu and Little Lions Child Coaching, to name a few.

Over the past year, the museum has been collecting newspaper headline posters that relate to state of children in Cape Town.

“Every day we pass these posters but they no longer impact us,” says Chanel Fredericks, event organiser at the Cape Town Museum of Childhood. “We have become okay with Cape Town being a dangerous place for children.”

According to the latest Child Gauge Survey, the national child murder rate is 4.3 murders per 100 000 children and the rape rate for children is 83 rapes per 100 000 children.

Through exhibiting the collection of posters, the museum wanted to remind the public of their accountability to the safety of children. In addition to this, the museum hoped to get the public thinking about what they can do to make Cape Town a safer place for children.

The statement piece was well supported

and well received by pedestrians passing by.

The museum located in Rondebosch provides an institution for the heritage, documentation, memory, oral history, research, and interpretation of childhood. It houses a national collection of childhood-related ex-

hibitions. It aims to capture the heritage of childhood and the role that children play in society. This is done through documenting, studying and interpreting childhood by creating an interactive space that allows children, families and communities to celebrate

childhood, to gain insights into childhood and to learn about childhood heritage.

HILLVIEW

Help local talent to score overseas RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

T

wo Hillview residents have been given a not-to-be-missed opportunity to play in the Manchester Cup tournament. But they need help to get there.

The tournament will allow boys u.7 to u.16 and girls u.10 to u.18 to showcase their soccer skills in England and Dubai in April next year.

Astrid Abrahams, head of arts and culture at the Guardians of the National Treasure community upliftment project, says: “I’m so excited because this is a God-given chance.

For people living in this area – with the drugs and the fighting and the shooting – even with all these things, we can still get some of these boys out of the road and build their dignity.”

Cousins Mikyle Mamba and Caleb Philander are both 15 years old and attend Steenberg High School. They also both play for Eagle Wings Football Club in Steenberg in the u.16 team, of which Mikyle is the captain and a top goal scorer.

The football duo showcased their skills at the trials for the overseas tournament in Lansdowne earlier this year and earned the opportunity to take their talent abroad.

“Soccer is my favourite sport and every time I play it, I feel like I can challenge myself,” says Caleb.

“We practice often to keep our stamina and our fitness up. We practice two days a week for two hours, but most of the time when I’m bored I’ll take the ball and start kicking it around,” he adds.

Both boys are eager to compete, excited for the chance to board a plane and to leave the country for the first time.

“When I found out, I was excited and I couldn’t believe it,” Mikyle says.

He adds that his father had been grooming him to play for the big leagues since the moment he showed interest in the sport at the

age of four. “I like soccer because it’s the best sport in the world for me. My daddy, Matthew, helped me with my skills and showed me how to pass a ball and control a ball when I was four.”

Abrahams explains that the tournament would not only be a win for the boys but

would also show other children that there are opportunities for them.

“We’re hoping that people are going to come on board. From this area, people think no one can get anywhere because of all the fighting, but there is light,” she says.

Abrahams and the boys held a fundraising

dinner to raise the R48 000 needed for the trip, but they were only able to collect R8 000, including their parents’ contributions.

Caleb and Mikyle need your help to showcase their talents on a bigger stage.

New horizons for drag pageant T

he eighth Ms Drag Ambassador Beauty Queen will be crowned at the Kensington Civic Centre on Saturday 30 November.

The pageant, owned and run under the banner of the Ms Drag Ambassador South Africa Organisation (a registered non-profit organisation), creates a platform for drag and female impersonation to be recognised on a grand scale.

This year’s pageant theme is “Disney Reloaded” and patrons are invited to dress accordingly.

An array of contestants will take to the stage to vie for the title. Audience members will also be treated to spectacular entertainment including performances by drag cabaret artists and DJ Cool J. “We aim to select a Queen who is a role model, who embodies the values and morals of fairness and impartiality, a healthy respect for the rights of all people within and outside of the boundaries of the Western Cape and South Africa at large, irrespective of creed or colour, religion or affiliation, gender or orientation, disability or vulnerability and who is recognized as an ambassador of her community and LGBTI matters,” says Logan

McGregor, the host and owner of the pageant.

McGregor, a multi-beauty pageant title holder, launched the event in 2012. She is a former Ms Mardi Gras National, former Ms Gay Western Cape and the current Ms Diva South Africa.

Today the pageant is one of the highlights on the LGBTI calendar. It also enjoys the support of local heterosexual Kensington communities.

The Kensington Civic Centre has been home to the pageant from the beginning.

McGregor, who hails from Kensington, embarked on this project to plough back into the community in which she was raised.

“This gathering signifies the vision of the Ms Drag Ambassador South Africa Organisation, aligning communities and merging our people into a collective population, ignorant and blind to physical differences and preferences which are the causes of disharmony in our communities,” says McGregor.

The pageant is also a platform for fundraising for its beneficiaries. Winners are expected to participate in upliftment of disadvantaged and vulnerable communities and as such, raise funds for the selected beneficia-

ries. The primary beneficiary is the KenFac (Kensington/Factreton) Meals on Wheels organisation which feeds more than 200 people in need, daily.

Reigning Queen Adrienne Galagatsi embarked on a food drive of which proceeds will

be handed over to the KenFac Meals on Wheels organisation on the night of the pageant.

A look inside Pollsmoor prison NETTALIE VILJOEN

W

ith a prison population of 7 079, Pollsmoor has many stories to tell. And while the ones on overcrowding and gang violence need to be told, they do tend to drown out those that speak of regret and atonement.

“Most people think it is just bad people who are in prison. Good people also end up in jail. Sometimes it only takes one bad decision,” says Lewies Davids, the manager of communications at Pollsmoor prison.

People’s Post joined him, with a group of social work students and social workers, during a walk-through of Pollsmoor medium C and the female centre on Tuesday 19 November.

One of these stories belongs to Ruth (a pseudonym). At eight months pregnant, she finds herself in the care unit for expecting women and women over 60.

The 29-year-old is serving a three-month sentence for possession of drugs and suspicion of smuggling. This being her first offence, she got a R3 000 fine or a three-month jail sentence.

Ruth says she simply could not afford to pay the fine. Besides the baby on the way, she also has three other children who depend on her.

With the father out of the picture and the prospect of a fourth mouth to feed, Ruth says she felt like she had no choice but to agree when her sister, who she was visiting in prison, suggested she smuggle in drugs.

Ironically, Ruth entered Pollsmoor as her sister left.

Ruth says she now deeply regrets her decision and if she could go back in time she would definitely not have done it. Her release is set for Sunday 2 February.

“When I get out I am going to take my children and return to my family home in Port Elizabeth. With the help of my mother, father and brother I hope to start over,” she says. If Ruth’s plan works out, she will be one of the lucky few.

Davids says reintegration into society is one of the biggest challenges inmates face once they leave prison. He says many of the offenders have been abandoned by their families.

“They have paid the price for their crime but often their families, their communities don’t want them back. That is why our slogan is ‘Corrections is a societal responsibility’.” He encourages family members to visit their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters in jail.

“That visit twice a month is sometimes the only thing they look forward to,” says Davids. After a tour of medium C and the female centre, it is easy to understand why.

Of the thousands held at Pollsmoor, 4 500 are awaiting trial. Repeat offenders and suspects accused of aggressive crime are held while investigations are ongoing. Others remain in prison either because they can’t get bail (due to the violent nature of the crime) or because they can’t afford it.

While the time awaiting trial is not supposed to exceed 24 months, it can stretch to six years or even longer depending on whether cases get postponed in the courts (for example, if a witness fails to appear).

Because of its central location in Tokai, Pollsmoor prison serves as the main gateway for suspects entering the prison system in the Western Cape.

It is fed by 26 courts and 56 police stations.

All of these factors, combined with South Africa’s socio-economic ills, have led to Pollsmoor being labelled the most over-

crowded prison in the province.

Medium C, also called the release centre, houses male offenders who are either serving short sentences or are almost at the end of long terms.

Here, 26 beds are squeezed into one cell roughly the size of a single garage, with one bathroom to share.

Apparently, this is one of the less over-

crowded units at Pollsmoor.

At 15:00 sharp, inmates get shut into their cells. As the light starts to leave the room, so does the authority of the wardens. This is when the underground order of the Number Gangs (the 26’s, the 27’s and the 28’s) sets in – an old prison culture dating back to the early 1900s. The doors will only open again at 6:00.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

Book helps to explain ADHD AVRIL FILLIES

W

e all know the story of Goldilocks and the three bears from our childhood years but have you ever considered why Goldilocks got herself into so much (potential) trouble?

The Goldilocks and the Bear Foundation, a registered non-profit organisation (NPO), has just launched their new book All of these things are important to me – the first fictional story about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in South Africa.

“At least 20 children in South Africa suffers from ADHD, a disorder marked by symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The foundation provides free ADHD and mental health screening to children in disadvantaged communities,” says Prof Renata Schoeman, co-founder of the foundation.

Going back to the story of Goldilocks; maybe she struggled with inattentiveness, absent-mindedly wandered off into the woods, and then impulsively entered a strange house.

And with her usual hyperactive way, started climbing on furniture ... She was lucky, but thousands of other kids aren’t.

“Although mental health clinics exist in the public sector, children with ADHD often never reach this point of diagnosis and treatment due to a lack of awareness and knowledge in their communities.

“They are never screened for ADHD, and may be labelled as naughty, or ‘stupid’, or just silently fall out of the educational system and only come to our attention when absorbed in the criminal justice system. These children never have the opportunity to flourish,” Schoeman says.

According to her, the foundation aims to remove mental health barriers to education.

“We visit underprivileged schools where we provide non-profit (free) screening for ADHD, anxiety, depression, visual and hearing problems, and developmental problems

to the children.

This ensures early referral, diagnosis and treatment, and improve the quality of life of these children,” she says.

In South Africa, there is a huge problem in identifying children with mental health problems due to lack of resources in the departments of health and education.

“Our intervention has a positive ripple effect by helping to keep children in schools and progress educationally, which enhances their chances of securing work and keeping away from vices.

“During the past two years, the foundation has been screening children for mental health disorders (such as ADHD, depression and anxiety), other learning disorders, and health-related problems (such as eye- and ear problems) in the Metro North and Metro East educational districts in the Western Cape,” Schoeman says.

In addition to screening at schools, they have recently opened a screening centre at Tygerberg Hospital and is currently also negotiating to secure a space for another screening centre at Badisa in Bellville.

As many conditions can “mimic” as ADHD or accompany it as co-morbid conditions – such as visual or auditory problems – the foundation is faced with a situation where the public sector, children in underprivileged areas where they are working in, have no access to these facilities.

Or where there are indeed facilities, children need to wait for months until they can be assisted.

“We, therefore, recruited also pro bono volunteers (optometrists, audiologists, and educational psychologists) to assist us. However, we also need to buy in services from professionals. We are completely dependent on fundraising initiatives and donors.

“We also strongly focus on raising awareness and educating parents, teachers and the communities about ADHD and other mental health conditions. We provide parental guidance meetings, as well as teacher training.

The book was available at the Nasdaq art auction recently.

We also believe that research is crucial and have completed a study last year analysing the data from our first year of operations, We received the excellence award for community service last year,” she says.

The book aims to increase awareness and educate communities about ADHD (and related mental health disorders).

The intent is that a parent or teacher should read the story with the child and use the scientific content that follows as a resource to answer the child’s and their own questions about ADHD. The book is written in English, and has been translated into Afrikaans and isiXhosa, isiZulu and Sesotho to afford as many

children as possible, the opportunity to hear the story in their mother tongue.

They will understand it and know they are understood when reading the story in their mother tongue.

The book launch is on Wednesday 4 December at De Oude Social Café in Pandoer Street in Welgemoed from 18:00 until 20:00.

Tickets cost R230 per person and include a signed copy of the book, as well as a signature Goldilocks and the Bear Foundation pizza and milkshake (this can be substituted for beer or wine).

The book costs R100 if you are not attending the launch.

Anesu’s app will help residents with housing info AVRIL FILLIES Anesu Malisa from Bellville is the winner of the HomeWise Youth Competition where contestants were asked to develop an app so that citizens of the City of Cape Town can easily access information on government housing assistance.

The competition was launched on Tuesday 23 July and entries closed on Friday 30 August. The competition requested young people between the ages of 16 and 35 to design the mock-ups, prototypes or wireframes of the app, which is the user experience and user interface (UX and UI) and not the development of the entire app.

“I entered because I love technology and believe that the answers to the world’s problems can be found in the building of apps.

My concept was simple: design a user experience and interface that’s so simple, anyone could use it, regardless of their previous experience with using smartphones,” he says.

Part of his design will be integrated in the actual app which the provincial government will be building next year. He won a 2019 Macbook Air and accessories for the laptop.

“I am currently working on my own app called Squadang. The idea is to create a messaging platform that will make it easy for Generation Z (13 to 24 years) to turn screen time into quality time by giving them tools that make it easy to organise get-togethers with friends. This is to help them to spend more time face-to-face with their friends offline, instead of just faco-to-screen online,” Malisa says.

Still on his bucket list is to attend the Singapore Grand Prix, watch an Arsenal match at the Emirates Stadium in England and travel in general, but to Tokyo and Hong Kong first.

“My other hobbies include writing and producing music, making funny videos on TikTok, designing things like T-shirts, photography, filming and editing videos and playing the drums.

“I’d just love to use technology to help peo-

ple in my community to be the best versions of themselves. If we become the best versions of ourselves, the world automatically becomes a better place,” Malisa says.

For those who are not so tech savvy as him, his advice is to start looking at what you do every day and ask yourself the question: is there some sort of technology that will make this process simpler and faster?

“My app is going to benefit my community as the admin associated with organising a get together (aligning calenders, finding things to do and even money) stand in the way of people getting together. In the long run this has a significant impact on your relationships, because we were created to be in a community, but if getting together is such admin, we resolve to staying at home and binging on Netflix alone and that’s not good for our mental health and wellbeing. So we want to remove the admin associated

with getting together with friends, so that you spend more time in each other’s company,” he says.

Malisa attended Ashton College until grade 10, then home-schooled the rest of the way. He never studied for a degree, instead did an executive course in project management at the Business School of Stellenbosch University.

“Not having formal education almost caused me not to enter, but the passion I have for technology and the willingness to figure things out along the way, is what helped me.

I just think if there were a whole lot more people who had passion and an attitude to just figure it out on the way, this world would have so many more solutions that would be changing the world right now” he says. According to Marcelino Martin, spokesperson for Tertius Simmers, provincial minister for human settlements, 20 entries met

all the criteria.

“Entries came from our rural towns such as Heidelberg, Stellenbosch, George and Worcester. Pursuant to a rigorous, yet fair evaluation process, three entrants were shortlisted, as they scored the highest with their designs. We envisage having a trial version available by the end of this year, with a full launch in April 2020,” Martin says.

At the award ceremony he said the department was proud to be able to engage with some of the best and pioneering young techies in the province.

“As the Western Cape Government, we remain committed to accelerating human settlement delivery, while promoting social inclusion through the development of integrated, resilient and sustainable human settlements in an open opportunity society,” he says.

Mobile devices making inroads A team of officials from the City’s transport directorate has implemented a plan that aligns the spatial, operational and financial data of transport assets to better respond to enquiries and fault reports.

“I am thrilled to unveil this mobile device which has revolutionised the way our depot staff works.

It is fully automated, cuts out the middle man and eliminates the old traditional clipboards and has definitely improved our turnaround times. Orders or complaints that have been open for longer are now visible, meaning management can act proactively and direct our actual human resources, materials, equipment, vehicles, and so forth more efficiently,” says Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase.

On a typical day, a resident reports a road fault, for example, a pothole or a faulty traffic signal via email, Twitter, or with a call to the Transport Information Centre or the City of Cape Town contact centre.

This is then allocated to the appropriate area depot which is determined by the geographic location of the fault reported. The de-

pot foreman then assesses the reported incident and relays that to the maintenance planner who then schedules the maintenance and advises the depot of the impending work. The maintenance team at the depot then executes or performs the required work.

The team is required to take before, during and after pictures using the mobile device. “The device is set to enhance service delivery and improve our residents’ living conditions. It speaks to a number of our priorities, including commitment to excellence in service delivery and using technology to transform Cape Town – all for the benefit of our residents,” says Purchase.

This solution optimises and standardises business processes across the local transport depots for roads and networks. This means that the process is the same across the city.

The devices were rolled out to depot managers, project managers, superintendents, foremen, artisans, special workmen and supervisor drivers across 21 road depots, four traffic signal depots and eight districts.

Currently, the solution is rolled out to 400 users.

Have your say on new licence plates and fees The public have been asked to comment on the allocation of a new provincial licence mark to all registering authorities of the Western Cape.

Bonginkosi Madikizela, MEC for transport and public works, published this notice in the provincial gazette on Friday 15 November.

“This move is a pre-emptive one, driven by the rate at which the department calls for input into new provincial licence mark for motor vehicles and vehicle licence fee increase.

The current ‘CAA’ and ‘CAW’ licence numbers are fast approaching the 100 000 mark, both events expected to happen within the next month,” says Jandré Bakker, spokesperson for the department.

Other practical reasons for considering a provincial licence mark as opposed to adding more local marks to the existing ones are: . a municipality having multiple licence marks allocated to its registering authorities, e.g. the City with the CA, CAA, CEY, CF, CFM, CFR and CY licence marks. This situation sometimes leads to the manipulation of address information on NaTIS where a vehicle owner favours a particular licence mark of another area over his/her local licence mark. . more than one municipality shares the same licence mark, e.g. the municipalities of Theewaterskloof and Overstrand share the CAM licence mark. . the current municipal areas do not in all respects align with the areas of the then department of inland revenue through which licence marks were originally established and allocated. This situation leads to a vehicle being allocated with a licence number that contains a licence mark (as programmed on NaTIS) at a registering authority that is not part of the local municipality of the vehicle owner – a situation where revenue (through vehicle licence

fees) is then not paid to the correct municipality.

“When the CAW licence mark reaches 100 000 licence numbers it will be replaced by the new licence mark CAG as published in Provincial Gazette 7884, on 26 February 2018. This is an interim arrangement until such time that a new provincial licence mark is in place to cover all the areas of the province,” Bakker says.

The CAA licence mark will, however, be allowed to exceed 100 000, in the interim, as the higher than expected demand for CAA licence numbers will not allow for a new local licence mark to be published in time.

This means that such a licence number will therefore consist of a combination of 9 characters.

However, the department would like to advise the public, traffic law enforcement authorities, as well as certified number plate manufacturers that one of the five sizes of number plates that are legally allowed on vehicles registered before 1 January 2010 will not comply with the SABS standards (SANS code) if a 9-character licence number is used.

Therefore, instead of the 440mm x 120mm size number plate, the 520mm x 113mm size must be used as this will enable motorists to still comply with the law. As at 12 November 2019, 81964 CAA numbers have been allocated since its introduction on 13 April 2019.

In terms of the increase in vehicle licence fees, the notice proposed an average increase of approximately 4.5%.

“This is in line with inflation. Licence fees are, among other activities, predominantly used for maintenance and building of the road infrastructure,” Bakker says.

Public comment must be lodged by Friday 13 December.

Breaking silence

We need to improve our cybersecurity culture

For many years I have been an unwilling participant of the stigma placed against victims of sexual abuse. And for that, I am a hypocrite.

While many may be quick to judge me for saying this, given my line of work, it may not be as you think.

It took me many years to realise and admit that I am a victim of sexual assault.

That may be a strange concept for some to understand, and maybe this is one of the underlying reasons people are quick to judge, pass blame and continue to perpetuate the stigmas attached to reporting and speaking out on sexual crimes.

When I was at high school I found myself the recipient of wandering hands, forced and inappropriate kisses and invasion of personal space in the worst way possible. I was asleep and awoke to this. As you can imagine, a moment of shock paralyses you and it takes a bit of time to comprehend that this is or has just happened. I was always reasonably physically strong, and I pushed so hard that this man lost his footing. I remember very loudly saying “NO!” as I did it.

I find it quite funny now that the response I was met with was: “Okay, is it like that?”.

He was actually upset, as if I was the one doing something wrong for not accepting his advances.

While I knew this was not supposed to be happening, a moment of confusion set in. I had momentarily allowed his words to influence me into feeling guilt... “Had I asked for this?”

Society teaches women that it must have been their fault, that they had in some way invited the unwanted attention. While I admit, there has been strides in improving this, we would be ignorant if we attempted to convince ourselves that it has entirely been changed.

I always wanted to be a journalist and so growing up I was very intune and up to date with news. I was not unfamiliar with the brutality of sexual crimes perpetrated against women. Then becoming a working journalist in an area synonymous with violence and needing to actually become involved in sexual crimes of such a brutal nature, I actually convinced myself that what happened to me was not that bad.

I felt I had dealt with the situation in that moment. I was one of the lucky ones and that I dare not claim to be a victim of sexual assault when others had experienced so much worse. While I somewhat still agree with my then sentiment, I was naive.

I realise now that I unknowingly suppressed and buried the experience as a coping mechanism – that I considered molestation and “pre-rape” sexual assault as not serious enough to constitute being classified as a victim. Maybe perpetrators think the same thing. I was most definitely influenced by a variety of factors, including the stigma victims still face. As someone who has actually experienced it, I understand why so many opt to remain quiet.

No, that person is not weak for doing so and no, she did not ask for it. It doesn’t matter the clothing she is wearing, the way she conducts herself or the circumstances surrounding the incident.

We should shift the judgement and blame to the person on the other end and spend less time focussing on making the victims feel as if they are the one’s at fault.

And while we move into the 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children, I have but one thing to say.

This has become a public relations campaign, rather than a vehicle for effecting actual change. Companies and government should be raising their voices everyday, but more importantly, the change needs to be made behind closed doors, where the crimes are actually taking place. And it is not until society changes its perception and reverses the stigma, that we will really begin to put an end to the undue violence. In a time where violent crimes are so widely reported, more needs to be done that encourages women to break the silence. But this would only happen if they felt they would be supported, rather than judged.

– Samantha Lee-Jacobs

In the face of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), we are simultaneously exposed to a new world filled with opportunities and risks. This disruptive, complex and exciting world is one where cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, ransomware, phishing and the internet-of-things thrive.

In the wake of these new technologies, the provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, is calling on all institutions, including government and small business, to increase their vigilance regarding cybersecurity.

On Thursday 24 October, the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) announced that it had detected a network breach resulting in unauthorised access to its ICT infrastructure. Consequently, CoJ had to shut down its website, e-services and billing system as a precautionary measure. The perpetrators, Shadow Kill Hackers, demanded a ransom of 4.0 Bitcoin (over R400 000). CoJ responded by upgrading their ICT infrastructure and did not concede to the hackers’ demands.

Improving our cybersecurity culture is a crucial component in making the Western Cape safer overall. Many sophisticated criminal syndicates use the cyberspace to conduct criminal activities. It is, therefore, necessary to improve our awareness of cybersecurity and limit the opportunities for crime in society.

But how often do such attacks take place in our day-to-day lives and what threat do they really pose to you and me?

Kaspersky Lab explained that malware attacks in South Africa have increased by 22% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the previous year. This equates to 13 842 attempted cyber-attacks a day.

Cybercrime is no doubt growing and appropriate measures are needed to address the threat it poses to citizens, business people and government. According to Deloitte’s The Future of Cybercrime Survey 2019, the biggest impact of cyber incidents or breaches on organisations include 21% of loss of revenue; 21% loss of customer trust; 17% change in leadership; 16% reputational loss; 14% regulatory fines and 12% drop in share price.

Currently, a proposed Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill (B 6 – 2017) is being presented before the National Council of Provinces, before it can be assented by the president into law. It was “revived” by the new administration on Thursday 17 October. The aim of the bill is, among others, to create offences and impose penalties which have a bearing on cybercrime; regulate jurisdiction in respect of cybercrimes; regulate the powers to investigate cybercrimes and provide for the establishment of structures to promote cybersecurity and capacity building.

While the introduction of this bill has been lauded, it is concerning that the rate at which government is instilling cybersecurity is considerably slower than that of the rapidly evolving field of cybercrime.

To ward off cyberattacks, we need to adopt a better cybersecurity culture.

Security Trails provides four keys tips in building that culture. Firstly, organisations must “start with the basics”. This includes having strong password policies within organisations, limiting access to data, systems and software to those who require them for work purposes, keeping a database of safe downloads, and terminating ex-employees access to sensitive information.

Secondly, organisations must develop engaging and ongoing cyber security training for their employees. This should be followed up by, thirdly, using metrics to monitor post-training behaviours.

Finally, organisations should make it as easy as possible for staff to report threats.

To ensure that businesses both large and small continue to grow, and that government can continue to deliver its services; we need to improve our culture of cybersecurity. This means that we must broaden of our concept of safety to include the digital space.

Offence against education in Retreat It is with grave concern that I express the urgent need for the recent barbaric act of human rights violation perpetrated against our community by criminals who destroyed the Retreat Library to be addressed.

Libraries are centres of learning and community development that act as safe spaces for our children who lack extracurricular activities at our schools, and who are continually threatened by gangsterism and violence, sometimes even within the home.

Libraries also offer our elders the same kind of safety and development.

Libraries are spaces invested with community-will, which, tragically, these criminals destroyed, clearly in igno-

rance of the power of literacy and self-respect.

But questions remain. Where were the police? This act of violence happened within eye-shot and walking distance from the library. Did an alarm not go off? What does the CCTV footage from the camera which was installed by the City of Cape Town, advocated by the Retreat Steenberg Civic Association, show? Should there not have been 24-hour security personnel stationed at the library, given the kinds of resources kept on the premises? How do we begin to assess the social impact of this terrorist act?

MARY JANSEN, Retreat

Trucks should lighten the load The City of Cape Town’s traffic service is concerned about the number of heavy-duty trucks who flout the provisions of the National Road Traffic Act. The Act imposes limits on the load that a truck is allowed to carry, depending on the vehicle specifications.

This to ensure that the truck does not pose a hazard to other road users, or cause damage to road infrastructure.

There are three weigh stations within Cape Town’s city limits – at the N7 near Vissershok, Joostenberg Vlakte and in Somerset West.

These weigh stations or weighbridges are used to check abnormal loads and whether drivers are operating within the conditions of their permits.

The weighbridges are manned by a service provider appointed by the provincial transport department. They capture vehicle information like the area of origin, where it is headed, what

the cargo is and so forth. The maximum fine that can be imposed for overloaded trucks is R5 000. For serious transgressions, drivers are arrested and taken to court, where a magistrate decides the appropriate sanction. Also, any truck that is found to be overloaded cannot proceed until enough of the load is removed to make it compliant. So, while the fines might appear modest, the inconvenience to trucking companies and the potential impact on their bottom line provides some solace.

That said, there are many trucks that fall through the cracks, as our enforcement staff are consumed with all manner of road safety priorities. To those operators who abide by the law in the interest of road safety, we say thank you. They are an example to the rest of the industry.

JP SMITH, Mayco member for safety and security

Dog poo in Clovelly wetland I regularly walk my dogs in the Clovelly wetland.

It is a splendid swathe of nature except for the fact that so many dog walkers allow their dogs to poop right on or right near the path, spoiling the otherwise pristine environment for the rest of us.

Riverine Rovers puts out plastic bags and notices appealing to dog walkers to pick up their dogs’ poo but there remain those who just ignore this and treat the wetland as a toilet for their dogs.

An alternative to bagging and binning

your dog’s poo is to bring a little gardening trowel and just flip the poo into the bushes away from the path. Or you can buy bio-degradable doggie poop bags.

For those of you who are still not picking up your dog’s poo, please can you be more considerate.

It will be a real shame if one day there are enough complaints to the City and they designate the wetland a no-dog zone.

Fight crime – help clear alien vegetation This week Moses Mandiba continued clearing alien vegetation, along with its disposal by Andy Mills and her On the Verge team.

What has been quite disturbing was the significant amount of plastic sheeting and assorted sizes of plastic bottles, including 5F sizes, found, which vagrants use in these areas for living and shelter. In light of the recent senseless murder of Mr Wesley Sweetnam, (Dascro Neighbourhood Watch), I want to remind readers of the importance of

keeping their surroundings “safe” and how it helps to reduce crime by opportunists who wish to cause our families harm. The benefits of clearing alien vegetation is twofold. Beyond the environmental aspect, it assists in keeping our community a safer place to live. Please, please can residents take another look at their surroundings and spend some extra time to make their contribution.

GILLI CLAYDEN, Noordhoek

Libraries must be protected Our infrastructure is under attack by these thugs (“SmartCape access up and running”, People’s Post, 12 November).

How can we live in fear everyday and then also deal with our resources being destroyed. It is a vicious cycle. The resources are put in place to help us empower ourselves against unemploy-

ment and poverty, yet this is the same resources being vandalised, stolen and broken by unemployed people trying to make a living. Mindsets must be changed. Libraries are out of fashion, but it is something we need.

10km and 5km races from 06:00.

The race is hosted annually to foster community building and celebrate Mitchell’s Plain.

The 21.1km and 10km races started at Glendale High School and ended at Rocklands Sports Field with music, entertainment and celebration. The 5km started and ended at Rocklands Sports Field.

People’s Post was the official media partner for the event.

Tight finishes aplenty at Turfhall NOORE NACERODIEN

T

he two female Super League games played at the Turfhall softball stadium on Sunday 24 November both produced tight finishes.

In a game that produced 24 hits, Glenthorn A’s edged out Kenfac Phillies 8-7 in the early game.

A’s started off with four runs in the first innings but Phillies’ Carla Swanepoel (2/4) was having none of that and cleared the boundary cones, scoring three runs in the process. Jenna Moses (3/4) fared best with the bat for Phillies with three scattered singles. Phillies came back strong in their last turn at bat but with bases loaded failed to produce when it mattered most.

The game was marred by both sides not able to capitalise on having runners on base with Phillies (10) and A’s (8) runners left stranded on base.

A’s took 15 hits off Ester van den Heever whilst Phillies scored nine hits off Lisa Erasmus who struck out three bat-

ters and gave up a six free bases.

Lefty, Courtney Stevens, was the pick of the A’s batting with a flawless 4/4, including a double. Former Old Mutual Cubs stalwart, Zulfah Stellenboom (3/3) and Chaunees Goliath (2/3) were the other top offensive performers for A’s.

In the late game Westridge Yankees held on to inflict a first loss on Lavender Hill beating them 4-3.

Other results: Major league: Westridge Yankees 7, Belhar Dolphins 5; Lavender Hill 18, Kuils River Cougars 2; Falcons 9, Table View Tornados 4 First league: Panthers 5, Glenthorn A’s 11; St Martins 10, Lavender Hill 2; Battswood 14, Blackheath 1; Crusaders 0, Khayelitsha Eagles 7 Second league: Kenfac Phillies 7, Titans 11; Table View Tornados 0, Devonshire Rovers 16; Falcons 10, Tantasport 3

A diving Lynn Lakay of Glenthorn A’s (left) beats the run out attempt of Kenfac Phillies’ third base fielder Casandra Kalpens during a Super League game played at Turfhall sport complex on Sunday 24 November. Glenthorn won 8-7 in a high-paced game.
