FACTRETON
‘Fix up our field’ KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@MEDIA24.COM
A
Factreton resident says thousands of litres of clean water is being wasted and says calls to the City to fix the sprinkler pipe are falling on deaf ears. Hilton Williams says the Dapper Road sports field has been standing neglected for several years now. According to the resident, there are several underground sprinklers on the field, which is adjacent to Factreton Primary School. Years ago, he noticed that one of the sprinkler pipes was broken, and as a result has caused thousands of litres of fresh, clean water to go to waste. “I think the pipe might be broken, that is what is causing the water to flow. We as residents feel that this is an unnecessary wastage of clean water. We have people here in informal settlements who do not have access to water and here the City is letting water go to waste,” explains Williams. He says he made it his duty to contact the City in November last year, alerting them to the issue. He received a reference number for his query. When People’s Post visited the site on Thursday 25 February, the City still had not fixed the pipe. According to Williams the field used to be in a good condition and regular soccer games took place there. “We had soccer poles and netball poles up on the tarred pitch for our children to play. But because the field is not fenced it was vandalised. There are no soccer poles left. The grass is not even green anymore, it’s just being neglected.” Williams says he coaches a group of about 40 community children to play soccer. He explains that because

of the water pipe leakage and the fear that the children might injure themselves they now have to walk to a field based in 14th Avenue, which he says is a notable distance away. According to Williams soccer practise takes place every Tuesday and Thursday for one hour. “We do this mainly to keep our young people off the streets. But if the field is not safe for our kids, that defeats the purpose. The whole area around the broken pipe is wet and the ground is moist there.” Karriem Albertyn, a resident who has been living opposite the field for more than 60 years, says it’s sad how neglected the field is. “This soccer field used to be very neat and we used to have games here often. I too have complained to the City about that water leak, but nothing happens.” According to Albertyn he used to be responsible for turning the sprinklers on and off daily. Albertyn is calling for the field to be fenced and maintained regularly like before. Leslie Swartz, chair of the Kensington Factreton Residents and Ratepayers Association (KFRRA), says: “I am quite horrified that such a vital, life-sustaining resource is being wasted and more particularly that residents living in the 18th Ave informal settlement could make better use of this wastage.” He continues: “A right to an essential resource such as clean water – whether a homeowner, backyard dweller or living in the informal settlement – is beautifully entrenched in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the RSA.” Numerous attempts to get the City of Cape Town to respond drew blank. While the City acknowledged receipt of People’s Post query regarding the matter, they still had not responded at the time of going to print.

eople’s Post journalists Racine Edwardes and Samantha Lee-Jacobs have taken honours at the annual Forum of Community Journalists’ awards held virtually on Friday 26 February. The awards recognised work published in community newspapers around South African in 2019. The ceremony was meant to happen last year, but was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Edwardes won the sport writing category, while Lee-Jacobs placed third in the columns category. The judges said Edwardes’ portfolio of sport stories was especially impressive for her use of human interest angles. Lee-Jacobs was also a finalist in the digital reporting and headlines categories for work published across People’s Post and sister publications TygerBurger and City Vision. TygerBurger journalists Carina Roux and Desiree Rorke also featured at the awards with Rorke placing second in the human interest and hard news categories. She was also a finalist in the journalist of the year category. Roux was a finalist in

These are: carrier bags, chip packets, cigarette lighters, cooldrink bottles, cooldrink lids, earbuds, fishing line, light sticks, plastic lollipop sticks, straws, sweet wrappers and water bottles. Participants work in groups and record all the collected items, paying specific attention to the Dirty Dozen items. At the end of each clean-up, the data is collated and contributes to research tracking the different sources of marine litter. Studies have shown that millions of seabirds have ingested plastic and a staggering number of sea animals die each year from plastic ingestion.

“Plastic doesn’t break down; it doesn’t degrade and become part of the natural system again. In fact, plastic breaks up. It breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces until it becomes small enough, not only for small fish to mistake it for food, but research has found that even plankton is now mistaking this ‘forever material’ for food and consuming it, introducing it into the food chain at the lowest level,” the Aquarium said in a statement. The clean-up will take place from 09:00 to 11:00, at the parking lot at Beach Road and Fritz Sonnenberg Road intersection.

Participants are issued with the 5F bucket to fill with food waste.
ENVIRONMENT
Diverting waste from landfills KAYLYNNE BANTOM
T
aking part in an environmental trial project is as easy as one, two, three – get a City-issued bucket, fill it with food waste and return it. Capetonians can do their bit for the environment by taking part in a food waste recycling trial introduced by the City of Cape Town’s solid waste management department. The project kicked off on Monday 15 February and will be trialled until Wednesday 30 June. Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for waste and water, says those who choose to participate are issued with a 5F bucket (with an explanatory leaflet attached), which they then take home to fill with their food waste, before returning the buckets to the same site to be emptied, cleaned and re-issued. Every Thursday officials are on hand at the corner of St Georges Mall and Castle Street, handing out these plastic buckets filled with sawdust to willing participants. Limberg explains that participants then have a week to fill their bucket with organic waste – including fruit and vegetable peels and scraps, eggshells, tea bags, and paper plates among other things. She says there are drop-off sites in Hout Bay (Main Road, near Mandela Road),
Woodstock (25 Beach Road), Killarney (Potsdam Road) and Belhar (Adam Tas Avenue). Limberg adds that only these City drop-off facilities will accept these food waste containers. “The trial is limited to only 200 residents participating per site. There are eight sites in total, including four designated CBD sites (open from 10:00 to 14:00) and four designated City drop-off sites.” According to Limberg, the food waste will be taken to a solid waste facility where it will be weighed and composted, resulting in organic waste diversion and a reduction in the negative climate change impact (CO2 emissions) of that waste. She says the project is not only beneficial to the environment but also to residents. “It benefits residents in the following manner: Food waste diversion from landfill and more space in landfills, compost generation and soil enhancement as well as compliance with provincial governments organic waste diversion targets.” Limberg says there are still buckets available, and encourage residents to visit either the participating drop-offs or pop-up-style CBD locations, sign up and help divert food waste from landfill.

Frontline workers get TLC Medical staff at Groote Schuur Hospital were honoured for their hard work and resilience throughout the Covid-19 pandemic with 4 000 care packages. Damen Shipyard’s (DSCT), who donated the packages, says it’s a small gesture of thanks to the healthcare workers in local hospitals who have been on the front lines since March last year. Eva Moloi, DSCT human resource manager, says: “We are entirely reliant on the frontline healthcare workers to be available to everybody, but we understand that they are also human and need to look after themselves. We want to contribute to that.” The care packages are not only a fantastic health booster but also a boost to morale. Moloi says each care pack contains a vitamin booster, health bars and a healthy snack, among others. “This pandemic has made us appreciate the gift of life. These care packages are about helping healthcare workers remain strong and healthy while they assist in healing our country,” says Moloi. According to Aghmat Mohammed,
Groote Schuur’s head of nursing, the hospital has seen the most Covid-19 cases in the province. “Our ICUs are still full, and we are currently very much a Covidhospital.” However, he notes that the hospital has a strong culture of caring, especially in the face of the pandemic. Mohammed adds: “Through this generous donation, every member of this valuable team will be provided with a care package that will assist with renewing our strength for the journey ahead as we continue to fight the pandemic.” Mercy Lazarus, deputy director of human resources at the hospital, reiterates the commitment of the staff. “When the rest of the country went into lockdown, we went into overdrive. We had to work three or four times as hard. A lot of us haven’t taken leave as we had to work throughout this period, 24/7. “It has been a tough time, so we really want to thank DSCT for acknowledging us. All the staff have committed to the process of fighting the pandemic. Thank you for joining us in this fight and for supporting us.”

Learners defy the odds SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
D
espite one of the most challenging school years in recent history due to the Covid19 pandemic, the class of 2020 have gone on to achieve outstanding results in the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations. While a decline in the matric pass rate was to be expected, the Western Cape showed the smallest decline with a 79.9% pass rate. The province recorded a 2.4% decline compared to the average national decrease of 5.1%. “I congratulate all learners who achieved their matric under difficult circumstances and amid great uncertainty,” says Western Cape minister of education Debbie Schäfer in a statement. The Free State came out on top with 85.1% followed by Gauteng at 83.3% and then the Western Cape at 79.9%. In fourth is KwaZulu-Natal at 77.6%, the North West at 76.2%, Mpumalanga at 73.7%, Limpopo at 68.2% and the Eastern Cape at 68.1%. Trailing the pack with the lowest result in the nine provinces is the Northern Cape at 66%. For the Western Cape class of 2020, a new milestone was achieved, recording the highest number of admission to bachelor’s degree passes at 22 634 (43.8%). The province has also seen a 70.8% pass in maths and 82.9% pass in mathematical literacy, with two candidates achieving some of the top overall maths scores in the country. They are Daniel Alwyn Gouws from Hermanus High School in first overall and Veren Naidoo from Rondebosch Boys High School in overall second. “Despite the lockdown, the disruption to the school calendar, and the uncertainty throughout the year, we
have seen that the quality of our matric passes has once again improved, as has the overall retention rate from Grade 10,” says Schäfer. A total of 51 633 matriculants wrote the NSC examinations in the province. But this is only 66% of the total number of learners who entered Grade 10 in 2018. Schäfer, however, says this is an improvement as it is the highest proportion of learner retention in the country for the 2020 NSC and has steadily increased over the last 2 years.
ASEKHO NGALWA: “The most challenging part of my matric year was teaching myself half of the things because we obviously had not been to school for more than six months. Also the fact that we had so little time to learn and be taught everything, then being rushed into prelims and only having a week of ‘rest’ which we had to use to study before finals actually started. I got a bachelors’ pass and one distinction. I’m not 100% happy with them because I know I could’ve gotten better results, but I know I tried my best.” She now awaits her study application status and hopes to attend university this year. To future matriculants she says: “Find a study partner and spend a lot of time going over past papers as that helps a lot.”

“Throughout 2020, it has not been easy to determine the real impact of Covid-19 on the Class of 2020 with regards to the retention of learners in the system. Despite many negative predictions, I was pleased to see that the effects were not as bad as some have reported in the Western Cape,” says Schäfer. As messages of support and congratulations flooded social media, People’s Post polled some 2020 matriculants on the way forward after this challenging year. V The department is providing 24/7 counselling services to any matriculant who is disappointed at the outcome of their 2020 NSC examinations. Approach your school or call the Safe Schools Hotline on 0800 45 46 47.
KYLE KLEINSMITH: “The most challenging part of my matric year was having to adapt to online learning and having minimal contact learning. I learn best in an active learning environment where questions can be asked and interactions between learners and teachers can be made. Online learning placed a big problem for me in this regard,” says Kyle. “I passed with a bachelor’s pass and four distinctions. I am quite satisfied with my results given the whole Covid situation, however I do feel as though I could’ve done much better under ‘normal’ conditions, especially in maths and physics.” He plans to study at the University of Stellenbosch to obtain a degree in mechatronic engineering. To the class of 2021 he says: “Matric is quite challenging on its own and accompanied with Covid, it could feel impossible to do however, the class of 2020 is proof that it can be done. Continue to work hard and persevere and you will get through it. I can confidently say that it is worth it in the end. Also mental health is super important, don’t be afraid to speak to someone if you are struggling to cope. Even if it’s just a friend, getting things off your chest can really help relieve some stress.”
“The most challenging trial I’ve faced throughout my final exams would definitely be the loss of my 17 month-old nephew on Monday 9 November, only three days before my first maths paper. His death struck us suddenly and it impacted my academic performance, without a doubt. To my disappointment, (I received) a higher certificate pass. I know that my results were not indicative of my capabilities, especially since I’ve achieved much better marks throughout matric.” A self-taught photographer, she hopes to sharpen her skills in this field and has applied for a threemonth permaculture course and will continue with mission and outreach work. “My advice to anyone who experiences a tragic and sudden loss, is to take care of your mental health immediately. We tend to ignore the fact that we’re not okay just to achieve goals or even impress other people. But your mental health matters too, so speak to someone who has experienced something similar to your situation or even a professional. Other aspects of your life will be affected in the long run if you do not tackle how you feel right now.”
MICHIAL DANIELS: “The most challenging part of my matric year was doing school work on my own. I’m used to someone explaining the work to me, and I had to adapt on my own and find alternative routes as well as to how I’m going to teach myself. I’m actually proud of myself, even though I didn’t get a bachelor’s pass, because there are so many learners that did not pass and I at least did. If I didn’t pass, I would definitely try again this year,” he says. Being selected along with six other learners, Daniels has now started his studies at the SA College for Tourism in Graaff Reinet. “My advice to a matric learner going to school in this nationwide pandemic, is to start earlier with homework, assignments, etc. because you will be swamped with a lot of work at the end of the year to study. Secondly, always ask questions and collect a lot of resources your teachers will have to offer you. And lastly, always keep God by your side in this time.”

MUSIC
Making melodies to inspire youth KAYLYNNE BANTOM @bantomkaylynne
C
hris-Jean Saulse, a 24-year-old musician from Kensington, has one goal he is set on achieving: to encourage and inspire the youth to follow their dreams every day. Saulse, who’s stage name is Drew Pokey, is originally from Joubertina in the Eastern Cape and moved to Cape Town a few years ago to pursue a career in music. His passion for music was sparked at just eight years old. “Back in 2004, I was at home channel surfing. I came across an Eminem music video and I was hooked from that very moment. His artistry drew me in, in a way like no other performer and I’ve been a goner ever since.” Saulse says his circumstances did not allow him to study music, but the passion drove him, so he taught himself. “I come from a very poor part of South-Africa where studying music was beyond the reach of most of us. I taught myself where writing and music production is concerned, but I received some vocal training from Luvo, the church choir master of the time.” He says in 2007 he started making music from a friend’s bedroom. “My friend and I were messing around on a music production computer program in his room and we created ‘Jy Moenit Net Glo’, our first track.” It was a proud moment he says he will always remember. Saulse recalls that his first performance was in 2008 at Joubertina Community Hall when he was the opening act for local rapper Early B. He says after that performance he was convinced that making music was his dream. “Early B was doing a national promo tour and visited Joubertina. My crew and I were booked to open the show and after that performance I knew being on stage, performing my original music is what I wanted the most.”
His dream is to one day collaborate with Early B. He says moving to Cape Town did not come without challenges. But he came in order to better his life. “I grew up with very little resources, a future outside of Joubertina was not encouraged, but I do not want any child to feel the helplessness I felt back in the day. I would like to encourage and inspire kids, it’s important.” Saulse says he is influenced by soul music from the early 2000s. “It’s a big part of the music I create. I find that a lot of today’s popular music has a short shelf life so I try my best to create songs which will sound fresh a decade or two from now.” The artist says he focuses on creating original songs and finds joy in producing music from scratch. He explains that his music seeks to portray a positive message. He adds that music has helped him cope with the many curve balls life has thrown at him. “I try to cater to people who enjoy music and I try to make my sound as universally appealing as possible. People’s music tastes differ but I do my best to create something for everyone.” He says as an aspiring artist, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been devastating. “Our artists are in desperate need of support, we haven’t all been able to work so times are even tougher than before. We need you to help us so that we can keep on entertaining you.” Saulse adds that the pandemic has also taught him valuable life lessons. “Covid 19 has changed my goals this past year, the things I thought were important before are not as important anymore. I feel like I want to give more of my time and resources to empowering our youth.” He says his music can be found on music streaming platforms and videos are available on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. “Just search for Drew Pokey,” he says.

Local cyclists race in Egypt AVRIL FILLIES AVRIL.FILLIES@MEDIA24.COM
J
ustin Chesterton from Meadowridge is one of the four cyclists from Kinetic Cycling Club in Bellville who is part of the South African team competing at the Continental Road and Track Championships in Cairo later this month. “I am very excited to be representing my country as well as the opportunity to see a new country. I’ve only competed in the European Youth Tour in Assen in Holland. I was doing online school when I received the news that I was selected. I don’t know who is competing from other countries, but I’ll compete to the best of my abilities to make my country proud,” said Chesterton, speaking before the team left for Egypt on Friday 26 February. He admires Chris Froome, the British cyclist who has won seven Grand Tours, including four editions of the Tour de France, one Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana twice, plus several other stage races. He also won two Olympic bronze medals in road time trials, in 2012 and 2016.
“I admire him as he had difficult challenges in getting to where he is, but he was able to overcome them and succeed. The Tour de France is the biggest race to compete in as the best riders race there. We will be back on Monday 8 March, but we would have to complete the Covid test 72 hours before we leave and return, but I don’t know how the regulations will affect me. In other years we would have a chance to go sightseeing, but with Covid it will be difficult,” Justin says. When he is not cycling, he is doing athletics or another aerobic sport. Still on his bucket list is to compete in the World Champs. “My parents have the biggest influence on my cycling career as they got me started in cycling and support my cycling in every way. Dedication is the most important attribute that you must have if you want to make your cycling career a success. My request to motorists is to give us a little more room,” he says. Joining Chesterton as one of the four local cyclists from Cape Town is Amber Hindmarch, who is a junior female cyclist from Pinelands. “I am so excited to be racing in Cairo and
cannot wait. It is a dream come true and will be the first time that I am participating outside of South Africa. I have participated in the SA Omnium Track Championships, Western Cape Road and Track Championships and I have done the Cape Town Cycle Tour since I was 11 years old,” she said before leaving for the continental event. It being the first time participating in the event, she does not know any of the other riders from other countries that will be competing, but her coach, O’Ryan Bruintjies, told her that the girls from Egypt are very strong. “I admire my teammate and friend McKenzie Pedro as a cyclist as she has always been there to help and support me. She is the kindest person I know with a heart of solid gold.I was at school when I received an email saying I had been selected and could not contain my excitement,” she says. The most important race for Amber is the
Giro Rosa because she loves watching the female cyclists, especially the SA cyclist Ashleigh Moolman Pasio. “A good cyclist needs to be determined and not give up when racing gets hard. You also have to have good sportsmanship and accept that you can’t always win. You need to have respect for your coaches, team managers, mechanics and other cyclists,” Amber says. Team rapport makes training all that much better, she says. “My teammates and coaches are always making jokes and we are always laughing in between training sessions on the track. My teammates and I are all going through the same pain during training, and the laughter and jokes help relieve stress because I know I am not the only one suffering during hard intervals.” She concludes: “My advice to motorists is to keep in mind that one small mistake could easily take someone’s life.”
