ast year, years of complaints about the Retreat lowlift pump station in Seawinds came to an end when the City of Cape Town began to upgrade the facility.

Unfortunately for residents, the valuable equipment on the premises have made the station somewhat of a target. It has now been vandalised twice in the past three months.

Mayco member for water and waste Xanthea Limberg, explains: “The team laying pipe at the Italy Sports Field was attacked by a group of about five to six people (in August).

This was the first instance where the community had threatened and attacked City work-

ers in broad daylight.”

She adds the quick response and warning from the workers and security on duty at that time ensured the workers’ safety. “The operator was able to react swiftly and jump out of the excavator. He was unharmed in the attack. The workers managed to extinguish the flames, but the excavator was already damaged. No one was injured but work had to be stopped,” Limberg says.

The second incident of vandalism took place at the station on Thursday 12 November. According to a statement released by the City, “one excavator was damaged beyond repair by a petrol bomb”.

In an interview with People’s Post last year, local residents said the smell emanating from the sewage pump station had been a problem in the community for as long as they can re-

member (“Residents fed up with smell”, People’s Post, 30 July 2019).

Lorna Engeldoe, the now-retired principal of Zerilda Park Primary School, said she had written numerous letters to the council to find solutions to the problem, with no success.

When work began on the sewage station last year (“Lowlift pump gets an upgrade”, People’s Post, 17 September 2019), it was a victory for the Seawinds community. They hoped they would soon be rid of the rancid smell, which is worse in summer. An added benefit of the upgrade is the effect it will have on the water quality of the Zandvlei water body.

Kyran Wright, estuary manager at the Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve, last year recorded 19 major sewage spills in the vlei between September 2018 and October 2019.

ward 64, 10 of those were directly attributed to the (Retreat) lowlift pump station. “That’s more than 50% of our sewage spills coming from one pump station.”

These contamination incidents resulted in the closure of the vlei on several occasions.

The problems presented by the sewage pump station were to be but a memory in December this year, when the 15-month project should have been completed, but with the Covid-19 pandemic and incidents of vandalism, that is not to be.

The expected completion date is now estimated to be May 2021.

Limberg condemned the recent attack which left a security guard at the facility injured. She ensures residents that the City intends to complete the project timeously, with the safety of all a paramount concern.

Offenders’ families duped The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) has issued a warning to the family members of offenders not to fall victim to a scam making the rounds.

In a statement released last week, DCS said that the Western Cape region management had noted with concern recent reports by families of offenders being called by people claiming to be DCS officials.

“These people call family members of offenders and tell them to deposit money either at Shoprite or Checkers or through a Capitec bank account using the cellular phone numbers they are calling from.

DCS advised the public that they would never call the families or request money for a prisoner’s release, and urged them to report the fraudsters to the police when asked to pay.

CITY BOWL

Extortion a rising threat KAYLYNNE BANTOM

C

ape Town central police are urging businesses around the central business district (CBD) to report any form of extortion amid mounting claims of the practice.

According to police, extortion is becoming prevalent in and around the CBD. Thieves are not only targeting businesses and shop owners, but also taxi drivers and home-owners.

Capt Ezra October, communications officer at the station, explains that extortion and blackmail involve threats made against another person to do violence to that person or their property.

This can include publicising facts about that person to damage his or her reputation – for the purpose of extracting money or other property from the person.

In recent weeks, claims of extortion and gang-related shootings have rocked the Cape Flats.

October says it’s important that people work with police and report any incidence where they are blackmailed.

He says agreeing to pay will only make matters worse. He adds that once the criminal realises that you are willing to pay, they will only make further demands which could lead to further victimisation.

October says: “Business owners, neighbourhood watch members and the broader public are also advised to be vigilant and report suspicious behaviour immediately when noticed.”

In a media statement, the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry said there is ev-

idence to suggest that Cape Town businesses are being extorted.

“Extorting protection money from small businesses in swathes of the city has become so lucrative, so easy, and its consequences so remote, that criminals have expanded their threats to ordinary people with jobs,” read the statement.

It added: “Should this slide into lawlessness continue, economic recovery and job creation will be severely hampered. It is critical that (police) minister Bheki Cele makes good on the promise he made six weeks ago to launch a task team to curb this scourge, now aimed not only at business but at the poorest of ordinary citizens.”

JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, says the organised crime relating to extortion will not be addressed meaningfully by visible policing. He adds that it requires detection, investigation and successful prosecution to ensure that the extortionists are held accountable. He called for urgent intervention from Cele.

“Although the City is very eager to see improvement and resolution of this crisis, our powers are limited to supporting the police and applying pressure on national government to follow through on its promises, which is what we are now doing,” says Smith.

Meanwhile, minister of community safety Albert Fritz says he wrote to Cele requesting that a transversal steering committee (steercom) on organised crime and extortion in the province be convened.

“Reports have shown that the ‘Guptas’

and the ‘Boko Haram’ gangs in townships such as Gugulethu, Nyanga, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni, Philippi East, and formerly ‘coloured’ townships are targeting our community members, local businesses, early childhood centres, and even government officials. It is for this reason that I am calling on minister Cele to urgently convene this steercom,” says Fritz.

V Victims are requested to report incidences on police extortion Hotline number 021 466 0011 or Crime Stop, 08600 10111.

Guard against extortion Police share safety tips for victims and potential victims: . Use an alternative method of communication. . Report the incident to authorities. . Avoid putting personal information on social networks that could be used by criminals to convince loved ones of your identity. . Maintain a separate messaging system used only by loved ones that can be used in emergency situations to identify the whereabouts of each member. . Always notify loved ones of where you are going (with estimated times of arrival and departure), before leaving your house or office.

NHW concerns raised over amendment bill The department of community safety, commenting on the South African Police Service Amendment Bill, has noted “concerning provisions” on the registration of neighbourhood watches (NHW).

Addressing the media on Monday 2 November, the provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, highlighted the comments submitted by the department on the amendment bill as well as its concerns, particularly as they relate to NHWs. According to one of the clauses – Clause 81 Section 6A (9) – proposed in the amendment bill, it will be expected of NHWs to be registered with community policing forums (CPFs) in future.

Fritz is of the opinion that this is unreasonable. “CPFs’ objectives differ from that of NHWs. Their main objective is oversight over the police as set out in section 18 of the bill and NHWs are not police officials nor do they have any policing function. Their role is to act as the eyes and ears of the community through patrols,” he said.

To date, there are approximately 307 NHW structures accredited with the department. The NHWs have benefitted from

The minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, briefs the media on the police amendment bill on 2 November. training, funding and increased accountability.

Fritz said it was also unclear what was meant by “registration”. He added that the Western Cape Community Safety Act (WCCSA) made provision for the accreditation of NHWs with the department. “A conflict of interest may arise from the NHW accrediting themselves with the department and registering with the CPF. It is suggested

that clear criteria be set for registration.”

The bill further proposes a system that members of a community may establish a voluntary neighbourhood patrolling or NHW association. However, Fritz stated that the WCCSA already made provision for the voluntary accreditation of NHWs. Fritz reasoned that the complete section 6A should not be applicable to the Western Cape. He further called for closer alignment between the bill and the WCCSA on the establishment, code of conduct and accreditation of NHWs. “In fact, a code of conduct has been issued by the Department of Community Safety to govern the operations of accredited NHWs. The provisions in the WCCSA are much more comprehensive than that contained in the proposed section 6A of the bill, which again supports the idea that the bill should build on current provisions of the WCCSA.” Going forward, the submission on the bill will be reviewed by provincial legal services who will collate all inputs from all departments and will submit a final document for Fritz’s signature to be sent to the minister of police.

Have your say on traffic act SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121 National government has released draft legislation which could soon prohibit motorists from consuming any liquor before getting behind the wheel.

In a series of tweets and statements released by transport minister Fikile Mbalula, he said the aim of the new legislation is to decrease the legal breath-alcohol limit from less than 0.05 grams per 100 millilitres via blood sample or 0.24 mF per 1 000 mF via breathalyzer to 0.00 grams for any motorist.

This means that should you consume any liquor, you could be arrested if stopped in a roadblock.

These amendments will be made to the National Road Traffic Act. The proposal was accepted by parliament earlier this year.

Thus far, more than 6 500 people have had their say on the bill through the non-profit site dearsouthafrica.co.za, with public participation closing on Friday 20 November.

At this stage, there are mixed emotions on the proposed changes.

Some of the participants have referred to

the proposal as “laughable” and “unnecessary”. People’s Post polled readers on social media and in the streets to get their take on the proposal.

Wesley Fourie says he will not be commenting on the bill.

“They have already made up their mind. I am not going to waste time commenting because I don’t feel it will change their minds,” he says. “What is more concerning is that they believe a bill will stop people from drinking and driving.”

Many others agree with Fourie, adding that not enough is done to promote public participation.

But for others on the opposing side, the proposed legislation will add an additional line of defence.

“Drunk drivers get off so easily most times.

They sit for a few days, then they are out on bail,” says Pauline Samuels. “But the lives they take can never be replaced.”

Mbalula has been warning residents that this could be adopted as early as December this year.

n online book aimed at educating children about the coronavirus and how to stay safe under the current pandemic restrictions and protocols has been downloaded more than 5 000 times.

Created as part of the successful Oaky range, developed by Cape Town-based, nongovernmental organisation (NGO) Read to Rise co-directors Taryn Locke and her husband Athol Williams, Oaky and the Virus is a free-to-download online book that explains how life has had to change now that “a dangerous new virus has come to town”.

Through the adventures of its two characters, Oaky and Oaket, children learn the importance of social distancing, covering your face and thorough hand washing.

The book also comes with a catchy instructional song, which has become quite popular with more than 5 300 views on YouTube.

“A number of parents have posted videos of their children singing the Oaky Virus song from the book, which they sing while washing their hands. Parents say that the book is simple for children with cute illustrations and it helps them to read and understand how they can avoid the virus,” says Locke.

“I love working with children, they are our future. It is so important that we do all that we can for our children now so that our country’s future is brighter. To ensure that more South African children can read the story and learn from it, the book is also available in multiple languages.”

Roscoe Williams, Read to Rise project manager, says the book has already been translated into eight languages.

“Both the book and song have been shared widely in school, early childhood development (ECD) and community groups via WhatsApp and email and have been used as homework reading assignments and even a puppet show. Over 50 000 children have benefited,” says Roscoe.

“As it is an unknown pandemic that we are dealing with, our book and class visits have helped learners to understand what a virus is and how they can avoid it. During the lockdown period, we really needed to think outside of the box. We made some adjustments to our programme and came up with an Oaky care pack. It costs R100 to sponsor a child. The care pack consist of the Oaky and the Virus book, Oaky and the Virus activity book, face mask, juice, snack and hand soap,” says Roscoe.

The book has also been made available in hardcopy as part of a seven-book range.

The organisation focuses on reading and literacy development in primary schools, donating free books to schools in underprivileged areas.

“Our main focus is 45 primary schools in Mitchell’s Plain and 30 primary schools in Soweto. Over the past seven years, working in these areas, we have given out over 200 000 brand new books and (more than) 95 000 children have benefited,” says Roscoe.

The books are written and illustrated by Locke and Athol, the latter of whom is a renowned poet originally from Mitchell’s Plain.

To purchase a hardcopy book at R100, visit Read to Rise’s website. The full set of seven books retail at R600. Proceeds help fund the NGO’s literacy outreach initiatives.

More than 80% of the City of Cape Town’s libraries have opened their doors for browsing as part of a phased-in approach to further roll out the service offering.

According to the City, 87 of the facilities now allow walk-ins and browsing after a week-long “dry run” to ensure all operational directives are in place.

In addition, limited two-hour study sessions, as well as access to the internet via the SmartCape system, is provided on a firstcome, first-served basis at a number of the public libraries.

Zahid Badroodien, the Mayco member for community services and health, said it was good news to see the service come to life once more. “Let’s keep the doors open by ensuring that everyone adheres to the rules of social distancing, regular hand-washing and the wearing of masks. Keeping our library environment safe is a shared responsibility,” said Badroodien.

Staff at libraries will follow and enforce strict Covid-19 protocols. However, it will remain the responsibility of every visitor to ensure their personal safety. Patrons are reminded to not visit the library if they exhibit any of the known symptoms of Covid-19, or feel unwell. Any person entering a library will be screened, and should they fail the screening test, they will not be allowed inside.

Blood service issues a call to arms RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

“D

onating blood encourages you to live a responsible lifestyle,” says Ron Johnson, a blood donor who regularly makes a trip down to the Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) at Blue Route Mall to do his part to save lives.

Johnson, who has been a regular donor for about two years, says it makes him feel good and costs him nothing to save up to three lives each time he donates.

While regular donors are integral to the WCBS’s blood collection efforts, the organisation still needs to increase its active donor-base each year by 3% – more than 2 200 people annually – in order to keep a sufficient blood supply.

Currently, Marike Gevers, public relations manager at WCBS, says there is a critical shortage in A+, B+ and O- blood supplies, which means they only have a three-day blood supply.

For this reason, the blood service has launched a Call to Arms campaign, aimed at recruiting new donors. “We encourage all blood donors to unite, take arms (figurative-

ly speaking) and challenge their family and friends to join them by donating blood and saving up to three lives with one donation,” says Gevers in a statement.

Blood donor Gaby Jakes says the process is simple with minimal pain. “I know lots of people don’t like needles but it’s really not as painful as some people think. The staff are always professional and they know what they’re doing. Sometimes you don’t even feel the needle, and when it’s in you just need to sit there,” she says.

Jakes also offers advice for donating. “I find that if I’ve been active in the day – and you must eat a good meal about an hour before you donate – that my blood flow is really good and I can complete a donation in about five or six minutes.”

Requirements to donate include: . Being between the ages of 16 and 75; . weighing 50kg or more; . being in good health on the day of donation; and . leading a safe sexual lifestyle.

Donors are also required to complete a lifestyle form before donating and take a blood pressure and iron test.

As part of the campaign, the WCBS is en-

couraging donors to take a selfie while donating blood and share it on social media and tag @TheWCBS, then challenge friends and family to do the same by tagging them too.

“As a small token of appreciation, each existing blood donor who brings a success-

ful new blood donor to a blood donation clinic during November, will receive a limitededition Blood Buddy keyring,” read a WCBS statement.

V To find your closest blood donation clinic, download the WCBS app on Android and iOS or send a WhatsApp to 060 549 7244 for more information.

Western Cape Blood Service hosts blood drives to encourage the public to donate but should anyone want to donate in their own time then they can visit a blood donation clinic near them.

Empowering women RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

W

ith the national lockdown hampering its training programmes for about five months, Where Rainbows Meet Training and Development Foundation was happy to welcome back its first class in September.

According to Kyle Cupido, project manager at the foundation based in Vrygrond, the participants were recruited from the Phumlani, Riemvasmaak and Pelican Park communities.

He explains that they were identified between March and September, in those areas “where we initi-

ated a feeding scheme during the national lockdown to supplement the lack of income due to the increase of unemployment that rapidly spiked as people lost their jobs”.

He adds: “Our aim was to find a way to create opportunities for these individuals, to empower them and give them hope, especially in an under-serviced area like Riemvasmaak.”

Additionally, the foundation decided to place a focus on women, giving them the ability to empower themselves during this tough time.

“The class, which comprised only of women, were encouraged to utilise their newfound skills and confidence to reach for their

dreams,” Cupido explains.

This first training session since the start of lockdown formed part of the foundation’s computer training and life skills, and business training programmes.

“They have since completed the work-readiness programme, which includes the computer literacy, life skills modules and business workshops,” says Cupido.

The foundation encourages anyone who is unemployed and seeking opportunities to enhance their information technology (IT) skills and knowledge to enrol in one of its courses.

V Contact the foundation on 021 205 2396 for more information.

NEW BEGINNINGS: As Harmony Primary School learners and staff waited for the national lockdown – now at level one – to be downgraded, they had something to look forward to – their new brick school. The school principal Eunice Manasse and deputy principal Vaughn Adriaanse are pictured here standing in front of the new – and the very first – school hall in the school’s 60 year history. The admin section has also been completed. The Western Cape Education Department has confirmed the sports field, which forms part of phase two delivery, is expected to be completed in February next year.

Donate to festive bucket drive SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121

T

he Cape Town Association for the Physically Disabled is calling on residents to assist in their annual donation drive, The Buckets of Hope.

With the devastating effects of the pandemic on many households, the non-profit organisation would like to further extend its drive to accommodate 200 clients this year. “(the organisation) seeks to promote and provide social development services to enhance the quality of life for persons with

physical disabilities in the Cape metropole.

Our services pay particular attention to people living in poorer communities,” says Fatima Martin, a social auxiliary worker for the organisation.

Buckets of Hope was initiated in 2009 to help the needy. “Many of our clients are ultra poor, who year after year must go through the festive season without any decent food on the table or any reason to feel cheerful and happy.

“We therefore came up with the idea to fill buckets with non/perishable food items and then let our field social workers go out and distribute it to their clients that is the most needy.

GRASSY PARK

Becoming a slime queen SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

A

fter attending a DIY slime workshop, Amy Jade Van Niekerk saw a unique opportunity to turn her hobby into a now lucrative business.

The 11-year-old from Grassy Park is currently the youngest vendor at the Muizenberg flea market and sells “quality and budget-friendly” play dough, slimes and kinetic sand in various scents and colours.

This development in her passion came after her mother, Griselda, gifted her with a slime-making workshop for her 10th birthday.

Amy Jade says: “I love watching Slime Queen Karina Garcia’s videos and want to be a slime queen like her. When I was 10 years old my mom surprised me with the gift of attending a slime making workshop and I was so happy. I asked my mom if I could sell my slime and teach other children how to make slime and my mom agreed to help me.”

“I knew she loved slime and was happy to support her in her dream to become a local slime queen. I was initially surprised as she is shy by nature but she was adamant that she wanted to host workshops and sell slime,” says Griselda.

Amy Jade was hosting these workshops prior to the pandemic and hopes to resume soon. A few workshops have already been earmarked for as soon as December.

These four to six hour workshops cost R200 per child and includes the making of two 500ml slimes.

Slime kits are also available with instructions for parents who prefer to keep their children at home during lockdown.

“My favourite thing about slime is experimenting to create unique slime creations with colours, glitter, textures, scent and charms,” says the young entrepreneur.

“The best part is being at the markets and also teaching other children how to make slime at workshops and parties. The most difficult part is having to queue in the morning at the market and wait to find out if there is an available market stall and we then have to carry and set up our gazebo, tables and slime supplies.”

Aside from trading at the weekly market in Muizenberg, Amy Jade also participates in the monthly Constantia Market, the next of which is set to take place on Sunday 13 December.

“I want her to always pursue her dreams.

She wants to become a famous slimer and as long as she has a passion for the business, I will continue to support her to help it grow. The pandemic has slowed down the growth of the business but we envision to start the online store soon. We also had barcodes printed prior to lockdown and another goal is to get her products into stores,” says Griselda.

To parents of budding young entrepreneurs, Griselda says: “Go for it. Your child will gain so much confidence and I love watching Amy come up with creative ideas to grow the business. It is an invaluable life experience for them and they learn practical skills early on in life like communication, organisation, problem solving and money management.”

V For more information or to book Amy Jade for a workshop, WhatsApp or call Griselda on 078 161 4045. You can also email amyjadesslime@gmail.com or follow Amy Jade’s Slime on all major social media platforms.

Amy-Jade Van Niekerk (11) has become an entrepreneur using skills learnt at a DIY slime workshop. She proves that you are never too young to start your own business.

Art exhibition gives artists a platform

Two Oceans Aquarium celebrates 25 years.

Two Oceans Aquarium celebrates 25 years O

ne of Cape Town’s popular tourist attractions, the Two Oceans Aquarium, celebrated 25 years of existence on Friday 13 November.

The aquarium has reportedly welcomed more than 10 million visitors since its inception in 1995.

The aquarium is home to hundreds of aquatic animals and plants found along the Southern African coastline.

It showcases the rich diversity of life, some of which is found nowhere else in the world. It also exposes some of the negative human impacts on the ocean, such as plastic pollution and overfishing.

Michael Farquhar, chief executive officer of the aquarium, says the facility has grown into a “much-loved and well-respected” facility with conservation and education at its heart. He thanked the patrons for their support over the

25-year period.

Farquhar says the aquarium’s vision of “abundant and healthy oceans”, and its mission “to inspire action for the future well-being of our oceans” along with a strong education and conservation focus, drive this organisation.

In 2018 the aquarium established a Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation (NPO/PBO) to further facilitate and grow its education, conservation and research efforts. This work incorporates the already well-established and respected marine science education programmes; the turtle rehabilitation programme, and the marine wildlife management programme.

The aquarium relies on income generated through footfall and other income streams such as functions and conferences.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic the aquarium has seen a

massive decline in its visitor numbers and hopes this will change now that boarder restrictions have been lifted.

Having joined the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme in 2007, the aquarium is currently a diamond member which is the highest ranking in the rating programme.

Last year, the aquarium won the Gold Award for “Best Responsible Attraction” at the African Responsible Tourism Awards at WTM, and also walked away with a Silver Award in the “Best for Global Goals Reporting” category.

Farquhar says whether it is through their exhibits, the aquarium Foundation, public talks or their informative website and social media networks, the aquarium will continue to strengthen its footing within Cape Town, South Africa and internationally.

Koyo Kouoh, executive director and chief curator at the museum, says the exhibition amplifies their commitment to providing access for all.

“Art is in the eye of the beholder could be the translation of Home Is Where The Art Is. With no hierarchy or selection, this is an opportunity for us to find out what art means to our audience and by the same token, attempting to find out what a museum could stand for in current times.”

The art will be on show until Sunday 10 January next year.

More than 2 000 art pieces are on show.

But that is exactly what the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Mocaa) was hoping to change with their exhibition titled Home Is Where the Art Is: Art Is Where the Home Is. The exhibition marks the reopening of the museum after a seven-month closure due to the nationwide lockdown.

It showcases around 2 000 artworks.

After an online entry period, the exhibition saw thousands of city residents make their way to drop-off points across the Peninsula to submit their entries.

ANIMAL WELFARE

‘Paws’ on volunteering to be lifted RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

A

nimal lovers across the country have had to keep their hugs, cuddles and helping hands to themselves over the past seven months – since the end of March – with the SPCA putting a pause on volunteering activities as per lockdown regulations.

With volunteering forming a vital part of its daily activities, however, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA says it looks promising that volunteers may return in January next year.

Belinda Abraham, the SPCA’s communications, resource development and education manager, explains: “We don’t want to put anyone in harm’s way and for that reason, our volunteering is currently restricted to our regular volunteers who play an integral part in the day-to-day operations of our SPCA.” But, she adds, that with donor capacity dwindling and demand increasing, volunteering has never been more needed.

“We truly value the commitment of time from our volunteers who contribute in so many ways. Our volunteers are an integral part of not only maintaining high standards of animal care but also helping to carry the massive responsibility of caring and providing for between 300 to 500 animals on-site at any given time. Their contributions are invaluable in supporting staff, preventing burnout and saving costs too.”

So when the time comes next year for animal lovers to get back into it, you can assist and volunteer in the following ways: . Kennels: Socialising and exercising dogs, cleaning cages and bathing or grooming dogs. . Cattery: Cleaning litter trays, chang-

ing blankets and grooming cats and kittens. . The horse care unit: Mucking out stables and paddocks and grooming horses.

Some experience working with horses is a prerequisite to volunteering in this unit. . Events: Assistance at fundraising events such as the signature walk-a-thons, Wiggle Waggle and Woefie Wandel; book sales; money counting and photography.

Abraham adds: “We also need help with sorting and pricing of books for book sales and with counting the change in our collection tins that come in from various retail outlets around Cape Town.” . Creative contributions from volunteers that relate to fundraising strategy, marketing strategy or graphic design are always needed, says Abraham. . Maintenance: Volunteers with green fingers to assist with the SPCA’s gardens and ensure the grounds are always neat and tidy.

Before anyone can begin volunteering, they must attend one of the orientation sessions with potential volunteers to give them a better understanding of what it means to volunteer at the SPCA and enable them to make an informed decision before signing up.

“This information sharing session also helps interested parties to direct their efforts towards the department where they feel they will add the most value. Animal handling training is given to volunteers who are interested in working directly with our animals,” Abraham says.

The SPCA welcomes applications from anyone interested in serving the SPCA and its animals. And the tiny tots can get involved too, with the permission of parents and under supervision.

V For more information, email info@capespca.co.za or call 021 700 4140.

Even if you don’t have the capacity to adopt, you can help by volunteering at the SPCA.

Key road infrastructure Guard your personal information projects all on track Several projects aimed at relieving traffic congestion and ensuring the safety of residents and motorists have reached completion in recent weeks, with good progress being made on those still under way.

These include road construction in Heideveld, Kommetjie, Lansdowne and Ottery, and Masiphumelele.

“We are focusing on the projects that were implemented in each of the City of Cape Town’s transport districts across Cape Town so residents can have an idea of the progress right across the Metro,” said the Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase.

The Kommetjie Road project, which saw a R256 million upgrade of the roads over four years, was completed earlier this year. The project included the construction of walkways for pedestrians and the upgrade of Kommetjie Road and Ou Kaapse Weg to four-lane, dual-ways in some parts.

“In the southern district, some of our key projects over the past year include the Kommetjie and Jan Smuts Road project, both of which play a key role in our plans to alleviate traffic congestion in the South,” Purchase said.

The major road infrastructure project on Jan Smuts Drive commenced in 2018 and is nearing completion. It is being converted into a dual carriageway between the intersections of Turfhall Road (M24) and Govan Mbeki Road (M9), inclusive of two red bus lanes in the median. This project forms part of the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service.

The northbound carriageway of the road has been completed and

the southbound is still in progress.

“Most recently I also had the opportunity to visit the project team in Heideveld where they are making great progress with the nonmotorised transport project for the area, something the Heideveld community can really look forward to,” Purchase added.

People’s Post recently reported on the Heideveld upgrades (“Concrete makeover under way”, 30 June) which sees a R38 million investment to improve roads. With work expected to be completed in May next year, the work entails the rehabilitation of old concrete roads, including the widening of some, and the construction of footways for safe passage for pedestrians.

“I am also pleased with how commuters and taxi operators in Masi are enjoying the newly built Masiphumelele public transport interchange facility we completed last year and with the great quality of work the team delivered on with the upgrade of Ottery Road,” said Purchase.

People’s Post reported on the opening of the rank on Friday 26 July (“Thousands to benefit from new taxi rank”, 30 July 2019) which saw an investment from the City of R16 million. About 65 mini-bus taxis operate from the rank.

The City completed its Ottery Road rehabilitation project in Philippi this year.

In total, the City invested R19.2 million in the project as these roads provide important links off Jakes Gerwel Drive and Govan Mbeki Drive to the Philippi horticultural and industrial areas.

Forgetting to erase the data stored by your car could be putting you at risk.

Modern cars are great. Not only are they more powerful, they come with a host of features to make them easier to drive and keep you entertained while doing so. The latest infotainment systems and connectivity technology enable handsfree calling, easy navigation and the ability to listen to your favourite road tripping music. Gone are the days of CDs lying around in your car.

But according to vehicle tracking company Tracker SA, there is a downside to having a connected car. These sophisticated infotainment systems accumulate as much sensitive digital information as any other smart device, like a smartphone. This can include contact names and numbers, account user names and passwords, home, office and other addresses, and frequently travelled routes.

When you sell or trade-in your car, you could be leaving this information behind for a stranger to access, thereby putting your privacy and security at risk. Your navigation information in the wrong hands could be setting you up for a dangerous situation. For instance, information regarding your home address and frequent destinations could be used by a criminal to locate your car for hijacking or theft.

It’s quite possibly not something you have considered, but you need to treat your car the same way you would treat an old computer, smartphone or tablet before parting with it. While you are clearing out your personal items, also take the time to clear out your personal information.

Be sure to clear your contacts and call history from your car radio.

PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

Here are some considerations and the steps you can take to erase the personal data stored by your car before you part ways: . Remove all Bluetooth pairings: Unpair your phone and any other devices you might have connected to the car via Bluetooth.

When you unpair a phone it will typically remove the contacts, call history and other personal data with it. However, if not: . Delete contact history: Go through the menu options to remove contact names and numbers, call history and text messages.

This could be a little different for each vehicle make and model, therefore consult your owner’s manual to check how to do this. . Clear addresses: The navigation system has most likely stored your home and office address, as

well as other frequently visited destinations and the routes that you travel regularly. These systems often have a menu option to clear personal data or recent destinations. . Log out of mobile apps: Log out of all the mobile apps that are included in the car or that pair with an app on your smartphone. . Disengage the garage door opener: Imagine the new owner of your car had the means to open your garage door by the touch of a button. Along with the knowledge of your home address, they could easily invite themselves over for a visit. Removing the code programmed into your car for opening your garage door is often as simple as pushing two buttons at once for a few seconds. Once again, consult your owner’s manual for specifications. . Lastly, make sure that you cancel or transfer any subscription services that your car is connected to.

Of course, a quick way to remove all personalised data from a car is to restore it to factory settings. But keep in mind that this will erase everything that you have ever customised, including seat set-up preferences, lighting profiles and radio pre-sets.

“Modern vehicle infotainment systems store as much data as a computer or smartphone, and you could be putting your security at risk if you forget to erase your personal information when you sell or upgrade your car,” says Ron KnottCraig, executive of operational services at Tracker SA. “Take the time to go through the car’s menu and delete the data stored by the system to keep you and your loved ones safe.”

Return to training W

estern Province Club Rugby circles are engaging on various methods of return to training, which has been set provisionally for the new year.

“This week saw us meet with our various leagues again to discuss the return to training options as per the Covid-19 regulations. This is not an easy process, but compliance and the health and safety of our members will always be our top priority,” says manager of WP Amateur Rugby Danny Jones.

SA Rugby and government regulations require that each club must have a compliance officer, which has resulted in the union embarking on a Covid-19 awareness and education process, which includes the adoption of World Rugby’s free Covid-19 awareness course. The course carries a certification.

“We understand that documentation is a major factor for return to training and as such we are constructing various online solutions which will help the clubs to get their

players back on the park in a safe manner.

“With these elements in place, we should see our players training on the field in an isolated manner with masks and sanitisation protocols in place,” Jones says.

Following the completion of the SA Rugby u.21 tournament last week, the junior format has now changed to u.20, which will see coach Jerome Paarwater commencing benchmark testing at the highperformance centre next week.

“Players will receive programmes relating to strength and conditioning applicable to homebased preparation.

“We are very happy to see that several of these players come from our club rugby ranks and have already gained some experience playing in the u.21 championships,” he says, adding that this week sees the start of World Rugby Fifteens level one coaching course at Newlands, with the next course on Friday 20 November.

“We are working hard on the rollout of our WP women’s rugby highperformance coaches development programme.

“The programme will run for a three-year cycle aiming to capacitate female talent in rugby coaching from beginner school and club rugby coaches to elite school, club, junior and senior provincial coaches,” says Paarwater.

He adds that schools and universities with women rugby teams and senior women’s rugby clubs were invited to nominate potential people to participate in the programme.

“I remind our members that the health and safety of our members is our first priority, and in order for us to move forward with a continued approach to follow protocols, the education of our members is currently a priority, and that our members must not delay in undergoing the online World Rugby Covid awareness course.”

Blue for Rondebosch runners T

he third Friday 5K Pop Up will take place at Rondebosch Common on Friday 20 November.

The colour of the day will be blue, Consisting of four bi-weekly 5km runs that will start and finish at a designated venue, each pop-up run is limited to 70 runners (per city), to adhere to government regulations, with the first 50 entries (per run and city) receiving a limited-edition Run Your City Series (RYCS) t-shirt.

On Friday, runners will receive a funky blue t-shirt.

Runners who complete all four runs stand

a chance to win their share in spectacular sponsor prizes.

“I’m not sure who is looking forward to the Friday 5K Pop Up Run number three the most; our event team or the RYCS community,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports, organisers of the event.

“The Friday 5K Pop Up Run campaign has allowed us to interact with the running community while adhering to government regulations for the exercise, of course. The first two runs were extremely well supported. We look forward to continuing the trend at this coming Friday’s event. Remember this

week’s colour theme is blue.”

“We realise that the pop-up runs tend to reach capacity quickly, for that reason there is a virtual option for runners that could not sign up in time or that cannot make it to the designated venue on the day,” continues Meyer.

“These runners can run anywhere, take photographs and share them to social media.

They won’t receive the RYCS t-shirt, but they will be eligible to win sponsor prizes.”

Timing and Results: . Runners can track their run either with a sports watch, fitness tracker, their mobile

phones or Strava. After completing the third Friday 5K Pop Up Run, runners must go to the RYCS social media platforms. There will be results in a link through which runners can manually upload their results. . Results will sit in a national leaderboard (per run) on www.runyourcityseries.com V Entry is free, but you do need to sign up via the following link: Cape Town: https://entries.thecapetown12.com/events/76308-friday-2011-cpt.

Epic duels mark penultimate round in Killarney’s Power Series Round 6 of Power Series racing, presented

by Wingfield Motors and Kfm 94.5 at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 14 November, delivered the closest and most exciting racing of the season so far, with a number of red-flag incidents as some of the drivers tried a little too hard at this, the penultimate round of the year’s series.

The headline Mike’s Place Clubmans Saloons races were both won by Brennon Green, whose Weskaap Bakwerke Golf is fast developing a reputation for punching above its weight in a field dominated by BMW 3 Series “sixes”.

He was followed home in Race 1 by Rafiek “Fiekie” Pather, Cody Alberts and Sulaiman Effendi.

Shane Smith took Class C line honours, with Daanyaal Coetzee at the front of Class D and Ryan Large heading Class E, just 1.374sec ahead of Ciara van Niekerk.

Class F competitor Nieyaaz Modack ran as high as second in the early stages and finished an astonishing seventh overall, which would have placed him third in Class B. Marco Busi took a hard-fought Race 1 in the Cheaper Cars Gti Challenge by less than half a second from Jason Coetzee’s Mint Golf GTi and Charl Visser in the Charl Electrical Polo 6 after early challenger Jurie Swart got it all wrong on lap four and dropped back from second to fifth behind Mario Roux.

Eden Thompson led Class B in sixth overall, with Calvin Wiltshire in 12th overall at

Franco Scribante (8) in the Scribante Racing Porsche 997 and Steve Humble (91) in the 3.4-litre Judd V8 powered Harp Motorsport Pilbeam MP91 lead the Sports and GT field into Kfm Corner.

Class C delivered another cracker as Kyle Wiltshire beat brother Calvin for the class win by just 0.162sec, with Colin Smith, Marc Thompson, Wayne Field, Chris Roberts, and John-Henri Vaughn all finishing within five seconds of the Wiltshire brothers of eight laps of door-handle-to-door-handle racing.

A true clash of the titans between international star David “McFlash” McFadden on the StuntSA/RPM Centre R1 and rising hotshot Kewyn Snyman’s Missile Motorcycles ZX-10R saw them swapping places on almost

every lap of both RST Suzuki South Superbike races.

Nevertheless, it soon became apparent that Snyman had a small but crucial power advantage, enabling him to keep McFadden (just) behind him when it mattered. McFlash refused to give up, however, diving inside Snyman going into the final corner of Race 1 and coming out with a two bike-length advantage, on his way to posting the fastest two-wheeled lap of the day, a blistering 1min11.867sec – only for Snyman to slingshot past onto the final straight and take the race win by 0.022sec.

The first V8 Masters and Makita Formula

Supercars race started with a bang – a fourcar collision in G-Energy Corner that took out Mark Ridgeway, Rob Warrington, Alister Brown and Roderick Simpson, and brought out the red flags.

Richard Schreuder grabbed the lead at the restart, ahead of Silver Class leader Jason Ibbotson and Rui Campos. By lap three however, Campos had moved up to second, and he passed Schreuder two laps later for a wellearned win, while Sean Moore put in a superb late charge to blitz Ibbotson and finish just 0.001sec behind Schreuder, and Ryan McCarthy, Hilton Pieters and Glen Phillips led the way in the Formula Supoercar category.

Moore continued his charge to glory in Race 2, leading from lights to flag from Campos, Schreuder and Fabio Tafani, while Pieters, Andrew Moffitt and Phillips delivered an exciting scrap for Supercar line honours, finishing in that order after McCarthy went out on lap two.

The expected clash in Sports and GT between master tuner Steve Humble in the Judd 3.4-litre V8 powered Harp Pilbeam MP91 and visitor Franco Scribante’s Porsche 997 produced superb racing and nearrecord lap times. Humble got a poor start in Race 1 (due to cold tyres, he said) as Scribante and Marcel Angel set the pace, but moved up to take the lead on lap four. The finishing order was Humble, Scribante, Marcel Angel and Dayne Angel.
