Dog hotel set to save thousands SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121

says the project was a few months in the making.

“As a way to make this sustainable enough to have a permanent adoption centre, we thought of introducing the hotel. This is created in line with Oscars Arc,” says Couch.

“It is a natural collaboration between having a dog adoption centre and an extraordinary dog hotel. For those not adopting a dog, we hope you will come and book your dog in. Those who book in, we hope you make it to the third floor and adopt a dog,” says Lefson.

“The success of the adoption centre is fully dependent on the success of the hotel. Every booking goes to saving dogs’ lives.”

There can be between 35 and 45 dogs up for donation at any time and the dogs are from existing shelters.

“Oscar’s Arc was created as a way to create positivity around dog adoption,” says Couch. “When you go to the shelter, it is quite a heart-wrenching experience.”

Dogs can interact with people and the adoption centre is open from 10:00 to 16:00, weekly. The V&A Waterfront and Constantia Village Woof Project pop-up branches, run from containers, are still operational.

f you are planning to check your pet into the new doggie hotel, beware, you may not leave there alone. But that is the point.

Thanks to the unique collaboration between a dog hotel and pet adoption centre housed in one building on the Foreshore, the SuperWoof hotel will directly benefit thousands of dogs in need of homes, while treating your pet to the time of their lives.

The Woof Project is the pop-up adoption initiative powered by Oscars Arc – a registered non-profit organisation. While the pop-up initiative will continue, the project is now housed together with SuperWoof.

Oscars Arc and SuperWoof is the brainchild of Joanne Lefson and was inspired by her adopted dog, Oscar, who travelled to 42 countries with her to create awareness for dog adoption.

Since its inception in 2017, the Woof Project has rehomed 2 241 dogs.

The hotel was launched on Thursday 6 February.

“This is a community effort,” says Lefson.

“The objective is that anyone who drops their dog off at SuperWoof to know their dog is going to have an out-of-world experience.

Also for every dog that comes in from our collaborating shelters to know an amazing home is on the horizon.”

Features include specialised beds and pools with indoor and outdoor decks for play and lounging.

Support for businesses The Western Cape Government is offering support for businesses who suffer as a result of load shedding.

“We recognise that load shedding has a major impact on the bottom line of businesses.

That is why we are doing everything we can to build energy resilience in the Western Cape and beat load shedding,” says provincial minister for economic development and tourism, David Maynier.

“One of the ways to achieve energy security is through the installation of solar photo-voltaic (PV) in your business or home. Solar PV can save you money and protect you from electricity price increases.”

If your business is considering the installation of rooftop PV, or if you require any advice on how you can make your business more resource efficient, the provincial department of economic development and tourism and GreenCape are available to assist.

“Over the past three years, the department and GreenCape have helped 23 municipalities to allow legal installations of PV. Approved feed-in tariffs are in place for 18 of these municipalities. This means that in most of the Western Cape businesses can install rooftop PV and be compensated for feeding excess electricity back into the grid.”

Any businesses that would like free assistance with energy-related matters, email GreenCape on energy@green-cape.co.za.

For any other energy related assistance, email 110Green@westerncape.gov.za.

Hosted by The Enviropaedia, the awards will put the spotlight on positive action taken against the impact of our environmental crisis, and highlight the efforts of SA’s ecochampions.

“Our news can be filled with a lot of negativity about the state of our planet, but there are some exceptional efforts being made to combat urgent issues, and these awards aim to recognise these efforts and encourage others to get onboard,” says David Parry-

Davies, director of The Enviropaedia and the awards.

The awards have 12 categories. Up to five of the nominees in each category will be selected as finalists and invited to attend the ‘Glamorously Green’ Eco-Logic Gala Awards evening on Friday 5 June, at Cape Point Vineyards.

CARNIVAL RETURNS: The Cape Town Carnival will celebrate a new decade with its 11th annual parade on the Fan Walk on Saturday 21 March. People’s Post is an official media partner. Expect to see and hear sounds of South Africa through the incredible journey told with mobile floats and 2 000 performers.

Important legacy keeps going the distance While entries for this year’s Slave Route Challenge have been closed, interested participants can still submit their applications online.

Organisers have extended the online registration to Friday 14 February, with the main run taking place on Sunday 23 February. This year’s run also marks 10 years since the race’s inception. The event caters for the avid runner or walker and novice with a half marathon, 10km run, 10km walk and 5km fun run/walk on offer.

The added appeal of this event is that it takes ownership of the country’s past, changes the narrative of South Africa’s heritage and transforms it into a legacy for future generations.

The route starts in front of the City Hall, in Darling Street, right in front of the balcony where the late President Nelson Mandela made his first speech after his release from Victor Verster Prison.

Runners and walkers get an opportunity to see some of Cape Town’s breathtakingly beautiful views including District Six, the Company Gardens, Bo-Kaap, the Castle of Good Hope, the Hurling Swing Pump, SA Jewish Museum, Slave Bell, Dorp Street Mosque, Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, Gallows Hill, the majestic Atlantic Seaboard, Fort Wynyard, Prestwich Memorial, Iziko Slave Lodge, the Slave Tree Plaque and Palestine Museum. The run will finish on the Grand Parade where the Whipping Some of

Post used to be.

Each year the race has a commemorative medal and a race beneficiary. Last year the race beneficiary, Mary Harding, received R65 000.

This year the race beneficiary is Lofob – League Of the Friends Of the Blind. Lofob is based in Grassy Park and was established in 1933 as a registered non-profit, public benefit organisation serving the needs of blind and visually impaired children, youth and adults, and their families, throughout

the Western Cape and further afield.

Dr Armand Bam, CEO of Lofob, says: “We are proud to be associated with the Slave Route Challenge Powered by Brimstone.

Our rich heritage as an organisation serving those most impoverished and the significance of this race as a reminder of our country’s history, makes this a significant celebration. We are proud to celebrate 10 years of meaningful impact together with this event.”

904 reservists needed in Cape RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

T

he South African Police Services (SAPS) have opened applications for reservists across the country.

In the Western Cape, the police are looking for 904 voluntary reservists, with most of the roles intended for Mitchell’s Plain (52), Khayelitsha (45), Nyanga (43), Mfuleni (38), Cape Town (32), Philippi East (26) and Steenberg (21).

A retired reservist of Steenberg police station, Moeridah Dien, says her 12 years in the role exposed her to many things – both good and bad – but all equipped her to do her job as best as she could.

“I have been with the police for over 20 years, but as a reservist – 12 years,” she says. “I had always done trauma counselling but being a reservist took me to another level. It broadened my knowledge so much. It was an awesome journey but it’s what you make of it.”

There are two categories in which a reservist can serve: functional policing and specialised operational support. The role of the former requires duties be completed at a community safety centre where reservists are able to do admin duties such as opening dockets. Reservists in the specialised operational support category use their expertise to assist police operations. Dien adds: “Reservists get to wear full uniform. They have all the responsi-

bility that a normal police officer has.”

Potential reservists must meet the following requirements. They should: . Be born in South Africa; . be at least 25, but under 40; . complete a health questionnaire, at his or her own cost, which is confirmed by a registered medical practitioner; . be medically, mentally and physically fit to perform duties; . be of good and sound character; . fit the psychometric profile and must successfully complete any other test that may be determined by the national police commissioner; . be in possession of at least a senior certificate (Grade 12) or must have successfully completed a SAQA accredited NQF level 4 qualification; . be able to speak, read and write at least two official languages, of which one must be English; . be employed and provide proof of employment; . provide proof of residential address; . be someone without a criminal record or any criminal or departmental cases pending against him or her (all criminal or departmental cases must be declared); and . be someone who does not have a tattoo which will be visible if the person wears a uniform.

V Head to your nearest police station to apply. Applications close on Friday 28 February.

A CELEBRATION OF CORRUGATED IRON: Corrugated iron? Oblivious, timeless, or simply a means for shelter? Bleached by the sun, flayed by wind and rain, scorched by fire, repainted by man each sheet bears a unique history. To many, rusted corrugated iron is a cast away, industrial material. In South Africa and other international cities, it’s a reminder of inequality – a political failure. To Mark Hilltout, it is all of that. But it is also endlessly complex and gloriously random; something that time alone can create and no artist can hope to better. Hilltout creates a visual art medium by using this cast away material and manipulating it in an endlessly unique and complex manner. “I’ve always been drawn to the discarded. I like imperfection, it’s part of me. Rust and damaged pieces of corrugated iron are just full of it. That’s why corrugated iron is such an exciting medium for designers and architects. Mark seeks out and buys discarded sheets from Khayelitsha and neighbouring towns. Out of 100 perhaps only 10 are suitable. The finished pieces are the result of thousands of happy and unhappy accidents. I look for interesting changes in colour, pattern, texture and grain. But the more I study corrugated iron, the more I realise that the metal itself should dictate the composition of each artwork - that the artist must not get in the way of the medium,” says Hilltout. A total of 40 artworks will be on display at his free exhibition hosted at his home from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 February. Art pieces will also be on sale. Find him at 6 Ravencraig Street, Woodstock.

Getting off on the right foot M

uch needed repairs and maintenance of footways in Woodstock and Salt River are currently underway. Reconstruction is taking place in Chapel and Francis streets in Woodstock. The City of Cape Town maintenance team is still investigating other footways requiring maintenance around the residential, business and public areas.

The project forms part of the Mayoral Urban Regeneration Programme, (MURP).

Felicity Purchase, Mayco member for transport, says: “The project aims to improve approximately two kilometres of footways. The ones we have prioritised for repair are in a dire state and our aim is to address this and to make sure the infrastructure is safe to use, particularly for our city’s most vulnerable.”

Residents, motorists and businesses are asked to comply with traffic arrangements during the construction period.

“These include flag personnel that will regulate traffic in one direction at a time.

Where work protrudes into the road, temporary work areas will be demarcated and vehicles may be parked in the driveways as normal, if and when access is available,” says Purchase.

She says the deteriorated surface would be removed and replaced.

Purchase says the repairs would require bitumen to ensure that the road is resilient to weather conditions.

And she warned that bitumen is difficult to remove from a vehicle’s bodywork.

“I therefore ask motorists to exercise caution when moving in and around the construction area. I understand that the construction will come with some inconvenience, but I want to urge residents, motorists and businesses to work with us. All of us will benefit greatly by having pleasant footways that will offer pedestrians a safer, comfortable, and pleasant experience,” explains Purchase.

Record breaking day to remember

F

or the 51 945 people who made their way to Cape Town Stadium on Friday 7 February for the Match In Africa, it was a day which will not be easily forgotten. The figure, a new world record attendance for a single tennis match, also helped contribute to the $3.5 million (approximately R54.6 million) donated to the Roger Federer Foundation, which will be used to support education in rural South Africa.

The amount of money also surpassed the figures achieved in the previous five editions of this event (known previously as the Match For Africa).

The tennis match between 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and his great rival, 19-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, almost took a back seat, which saw the duo on a whirlwind tour of the City, starting with Federer’s arrival in Cape Town on Wednesday 5 February, and included an impromptu warm-up session between the two on the Grand Parade.

Preceding the match on Friday, both Federer and Nadal also took part in a play session with children from Hangberg Pre-primary School in Hout Bay. The aim was to teach the children through various physical activities, combining language, motor skills and perception. Following his practice session with Nadal, Federer reminisced on his previous visits to South Africa, which is his mother’s country of birth.

“I don’t remember playing here in Cape Town 20 years ago, because I was on vacation and you rest your body. When I was little, I was playing in Jo’burg and other places where I was travelling. I remember I got a racquet from my parents here when I was little. After all this time it has gotten to this and to play in a stadium like this it is beautiful and my mom is very happy right now.”

Federer would go on to team up with Bill Gates in a celebrity doubles match against Nadal and his partner, Trevor Noah, which was won 6-3 by Federer and Gates, who dubbed themselves “Gateserer”.

The result was of little consequence as the four kept the crowd entertained with witty quips as they had themselves mic’d up for the crowd and audience at home to listen in on.

“At the end of the day I think doing things

together, this is actually in a way what we are doing tonight, we are all getting together for a good cause and to see what comes out of it. If I am alone out here, I cannot fill a stadium, but with the three other guys I can,” Federer said before the match.

Tickets to the event were sold out within 10 minutes and Federer said he’s open to collaborating for future charitable efforts.

“It is important to share information and to see where the synergies are and how we can do things together. At the end of the day, we are all seeking the impact, not for personal glory or legacy. We are here to leave a profound impact on kids’ lives and if that happens that we can do things together and we know each other and we get along, it is a win-win-win.”

Federer would go on to beat his great rival Nadal in three competitive sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, but the result was of little consequence as the cause outweighed any performance.

“Just one of these days that you don’t forget. Super happy to be playing here in Cape Town for the first time in my life. I can’t thank the people here in Cape Town who came to the stadium and created an unforgettable atmosphere and made this day even more special. Super happy to see Roger’s emotions out there. I know how important it is for him playing here and having this amazing success,” said Nadal.

After the match, Federer was still coming to terms with the emotional occasion, which exceeded his expectations.

“I was very emotional when I walked out for the doubles and when I had to take the mic right away there, that was hard. I did not know what to say because I really felt overwhelmed with emotions there. After that, I was able to play a bit of tennis and when I came back for the singles, I was more in a place of pure happiness, enjoying every single moment and looking around and thinking how lucky we are to experience this. I hope it gives the city, country and continent and mini-boost. And that already will be plenty for me. It is never on the same scale of what Siya (Kolisi) and their team did with the Rugby World Cup, but it is nice to have nice stories in a world that can be very tough and cruel sometimes. That I was part of maybe people having a wonderful evening, having a great braai at home and watching this game, that would make me happy.”

Prior to their historic match, Roger Federer, along with Rafael Nadal conducted a “learning through play” session with children from Hangberg Pre-primary School.
