STEENBERG

Fire destroys homes RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

R

esidents at 80 and 82 Sonata Street in Steenberg woke up to the sound of screaming on Sunday 9 February followed by a panicked evacuation of their homes which were on fire.

Rehema Carelse, a resident of the main home at 82 Sonata Street, says she was asleep with her granddaughter when family and neighbours woke her at about 04:00.

“I saw the fire on the ceiling,” she says.

Rehema Carelse shows People’s Post where the electrical lines ran through her home.

“We had load shedding (earlier) and then we went to sleep. Two candles had been lit but I put the candles out and put them away.

Then we all went to sleep at about 23:00. We woke up to screams outside and flames.”

Her entire brick and mortar home sustained severe fire damage, as well as the neighbour’s home at 80 Sonata Street.

According to Jermaine Carelse, spokesperson for the City’s fire and rescue service, the fire started in a wood and iron structure located at the back of 82 Sonata Street.

“Three formal dwellings and two informal

structures were affected,” he says.

Rehema adds: “My daughter, Sadeeqa Carelse, came from her Wendy house, because her child sleeps here with me in the main house, and she got slightly burnt because she rushed through the fire to get to us.”

According to them, about five families were affected by the blaze which, they suspect, started as a result of the old electrical infrastructure in the area.

“These electricity poles are about 60 years old,” says Rehema. Showing People’s Post the remains of the back of the home, she

adds: “The one wire was hanging low, down here, for a long time.”

Phindile Maxiti, Mayco member for energy and climate change, says it cannot be confirmed whether the load shedding or old electrical infrastructure are to blame.

“We are not aware of any fire-causing surges as a result of load shedding. Most of the fires during load shedding have been caused by electrical appliances, such as electric cookers and pressing irons inadvertently left on during load shedding.”

STEENBERG

Group reunites childhood pals RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

W

hat began as a suggestion for a small reunion in the Steenberg area turned out to be a rather well-attended event that may take place again in the near future.

The idea began with a simple Facebook inbox, former Steenberg resident Louise Benson explains: “At the beginning of January, Fabian Richter created a Facebook Messenger thread, adding people from his friends list who grew up in Melody Square, Steenberg. He stated there was a request for a reunion for those who lived and grew up in the Square and also those from surrounding streets who regularly played in the Melody Square Park.”

The list of interested residents and former residents quickly snowballed, turning the small get-together into a full-blown party.

“Richter then enlisted the help of some volunteers from the group to help plan the event. Ashley Albertus and Faranaaz Miller were more than happy to assist Richter with the planning. They went ahead and had a meeting with the ward councillor (Marita

Petersen) to discuss the logistics of having such an event in a public space – things like safety, security and cleaning were on the list of priorities for the day,” explains Benson.

Organisers went door-to-door to give residents the opportunity to sign a petition to allow this event, spreading the word even further.

The big day finally arrived on Saturday 8 February and attendees say the event was more successful than expected.

“Those still living in Steenberg were first to arrive; and gazebos and fires for braaing were set up in a designated area. During the day, more and more familiar faces started popping in. There were lots of smiles and hugs going around. Lots of stories and memories being shared! Catching up was the flavour of the day,” says Benson.

She adds that she was able to revisit some fond memories: “The afternoon was filled with laughter, especially when it came time to play some of those childhood games like ‘drie stokkies’, musical chairs and ‘kennetjie’!”

Despite load shedding cutting festivities short, all who joined the gathering agreed it

was uplifting for the community.

Benson says the group is hoping to organise another such event in May this year.

She adds: “A big thank you is due to Fabian Richter for the initiative and to him and the organising team, Well done!”

A reunion in Steenberg drew much more interest than anticipated.

RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes Sibelius High School’s principal Armien Samodien, together with the learners and staff, welcomed their new representative council of learners (RCL) members on Monday 10 February.

Confident of their capabilities, Samodien said: “They represent the school’s top learners and learners who have proven themselves to be good leaders.”

Many of the elected learners have been on the council for two years and others have served for longer.

“During the grade elections, these learners were voted to come to the RCL structure and, among their peers, they elected their own leadership. Many have been on the RCL before.”

The learners will have opportunities to learn from the City of Cape Town and other organisations. Samodien explains: “We allow them to participate in the Cape Town

Amy-Lee Miller (18), vice chair of Sibelius High School’s RCL, says: “I decided that I just needed to be a representative for the school, so that I can make a difference. There’s so many things going on at school. I want to be the ambassador for Sibelius High School because there’s so much gangsterism in this area and the teachers can’t always help because they can’t be everywhere all the time. That’s why we as the RCL discuss what we need to do for our school. Our school isn’t having a problem with gangsterism as much as it was last year – it’s settled.

Imtiyaaz Adams (15) in Grade 10 is Sibelius High School’s RCL treasurer. He says: “First, I’d like to encourage the children not to do bad things and participate in sports so they don’t do the wrong things. I want to help the school build a hall through fundraisers. Maybe a car wash or a bake sale – anything that could work.”

Junior City Council and allow them several opportunities by the department of education that we will expose them to. There are a number of camps we will send them on to develop their leadership skills.”

The RCL chair is Tanweer Julies, while Amy-Lee Miller is the deputy. Aneeka Jacobs is the secretary and Imtiyaaz Adams is treasurer. Simone Buckner and Lelethu Stemmela are additional members.

Aneeka Jacobs (15) in Grade 9 is Sibelius High School’s RCL secretary: “The latecoming and the lack of respect (are my biggest issues for the year).

Parents need to get involved and we should get the learners more involved in activities to keep the children from doing wrong things.”PHOTOS: RACINE EDWARDES

FROM PAGE 1 Rehema says both Muizenberg and Lake Side fire departments responded to the fire just before 05:00 but the damage had already been done. “We lost everything!”

The City of Cape Town’s building inspector has, according to Rehema, indicated that the building will be condemned as its infrastructure is now compromised.

Craig and Liza Eksteen of 80 Sonata Street say they also lost most of their possessions in the fire. Craig began repainting on Monday 10 February but says the fire is affecting his ability to earn an income. “I do private jobs but now I can’t go to the site.

And if I don’t work I don’t get paid but I can’t leave my wife in this state,” he says.

Residents of both properties say the electrical infrastructure has long been a problem. They say the ageing, wooden poles that hold up the electrical lines aren’t stable and sway when the wind blows.

Maxiti confirms that upgrades are on the cards. “Sections, where electricity overhead lines have been installed in the midboundary in Steenberg and surrounding areas, have been identified to be upgraded to underground cables installed on the street front.”

Both the Carelse and Eksteen families say their neighbours and the community at large have helped tremendously with food, the clean-up of the debris and emotional support.

The community comes together to assist the victims of the fire.

Sadeeqa Carelse sustained a burn as she rushed to the aid of her child and her mother.

Sacred items stolen from Catholic church RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

O

n Saturday 8 February, thieves made off with several valuable items stolen from St Mary’s Catholic Church on Retreat Road – items that can’t easily be replaced.

Father Cecil Dowling, the church priest, said the scheduled load shedding on Saturday presented the perfect opportunity for thieves to do their dirty work.

He says the church alarm was not armed.

“There is an alarm system at the church, but because it’s used after hours, we only turn on the alarm late in the evening. The

thieves broke one of the normal windows – not a stained glass one – and gained access into the church.”

He continues: “They broke into the place where the chalices are kept, in the sacristy – all the sacred vessels are kept there. On Saturday evening, after service, they’re put away but not locked up, so they are ready for Sunday service.”

While Dowling did return to the church at around 22:15 after the load shedding, he says nothing seemed out of place.

After finishing up, he set the alarm and left, he says.

At about 05:50 on Sunday, on arrival for

Four chalices were stolen from St Mary’s Catholic Church in Retreat.

the morning service, he noticed a broken window. “And that is how I realised there was a break-in,” he says.

While clearing away the pieces of glass, one of the pastors preparing for the service noticed the chalices were missing.

Dowling suspects the thieves made off with the sacred items through the field next to the church.

On Monday 10 February, the pastors noticed the brass bell was also missing. Dowling then decided to take stock of all the stolen items.

The estimated value of the four chalices alone, according to Dowling, is about R12 000. But even more valuable than the items is the church’s sense of safety, which, he says, is now lost.

“It’s disheartening because the church is here to help the community. The church is no longer a place that is respected. You think of it as a place of safety but, after something like this, people don’t feel that safety anymore.”

He says this break-in – and a spate of crimes including car break-ins and other incidents of theft from the church – are indicative of the state of the community.

“It’s the high level of unemployment and the delinquency mentality that is causing things to go from bad to worse.”

Sgt Wesley Twigg, spokesperson for Steenberg police station, said: “Entry to the church was gained through a window.

Property to the value of R73 000 was stolen.

The suspects fled the scene and are yet to be arrested.”

“We aim to come alongside vulnerable youth, poached by gangsters, traumatised by abuse, crime, drop outs and pregnant youth; walking a

A 39-year-old man was shot and wounded at about 22:57 in Flora Road, Retreat, on Tuesday 11 February.

According to reports, police received a complaint, saying a person had been shot in his vehicle.

At the scene, police found the victim with a gunshot wound to his face. The man was taken for medical treatment.

The incident is under investigation by Steenberg police and the suspects are yet to be arrested.

Anyone with information can contact Steenberg police on 021 702 9000; Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or, alternatively, use the MY SAPS cellphone app to provide information anonymously.

JAZZ FESTIVAL

School bands gearing to go RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

O

n Sunday 1 March, Steenberg High School will play host to several school bands at the third annual C-Flat Youth Jazz Festival, organised by MusiqueLaine South Africa.

MusiqueLaine SA was founded

by Lainey Trequesser in 2013 to educate learners in music and to transform their lives.

The project, which first began at Steenberg High School to serve children in and around the community, has since expanded its reach to include learners from Westlake, Mitchell’s Plain and Stellenbosch University.

The festival will take place at the Alstom Music Pavilion at the school.

“Here we will showcase what our children do,” says Jo Francis, project manager for MusiqueLaine.

Performing on the day will be the visiting French jazz orchestra, Orchestre National de Jazz ONJ; Stellenbosch University Jazz Orchestra; the Steenberg High School Wind Orchestra; and musicians from Gugulethu.

In preparation for the festival and as part of the music programmes, Francis says: “We had a camp and a music clinic with guest speakers.

“They transferred the stories of how music impacted their lives to our children. And so it also gives our children the opportunity to have dreams and hope. Because they come from disadvantaged areas.”

The constant fear of impending gang fights and shoot-outs cause the learners at most schools in the area to drop extracurricular activities and to return to the safety of their homes as soon as possible, she adds.

But the music project has in-

spired children to get involved.

Francis says they can practice in the MusiqueLaine SA music hall, built by Newlands Rotary Club and Coca Cola Beverages SA, during their spare time and hone their skills after school during band practices.

They are also allowed to take instruments from the project to their homes to perfect their skills.

Charmaine Julius, a 17-year-old, Grade 12 learner at Steenberg High School, has been a member of the school’s senior band since Grade 8.

Originally playing the tuba, the small-in-stature musician made the move to the trumpet and has since passed several professional music exams through Trinity College London.

She practices daily except Fridays and says she is looking forward to the festival.

“It’s big. We had a jazz festival last year, but I think this year is going to be phenomenal because we

are more experienced and the music is on another level,” she says.

The 19-year-old Cowen Solomons, also a promising musician in Grade 12, says: “We’re expecting more audiences and other bands this year.

“It’s going to be exciting and it’s better to hear other bands so that we can learn and progress.”

Tickets cost R50 and proceeds will be fed back into the project to nurture the talents of Cape Town’s youth.

Falcons, Phillies share spoils NOORE NACERODIEN

K

enfac Phillies and Falcons shared the spoils in their Cape Town Softball Association women’s Super League game played at the Turfhall Softball Stadium in Belthorn Estate, on Saturday 15 February.

Falcons were quick out of the starting blocks, scoring four runs in their first turn at bat.

Young Tonique White was again in the forefront with two scattered singles and a sacrifice bunt.

Phillies slowly clawed their way back to

score single runs in three of their first four turns at bat with Falcons adding a further single run in the fourth innings.

Phillies tied the score in the bottom of the sixth innings at 5-5.

Westridge Yankees scored six runs in their first turn at bat against lowly Tantasport to set the trend for an easy day in the park.

Yankees took 14 hits off Roxanne Albertyn and eventually ran out 13-3 run-ahead rule winners.

Yankees’ offense was led by Nicole Williams and Megan Cable both batting 2-3.

Nuraan Williams and Nicole Kannemeyer

waded in with a three-base hit each.

Primrose on promotion hunt GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS

P

rimrose is back in the hunt for promotion following the shock defeat by Rylands at the hands of Tygerberg by 47 runs in Western Province Cricket Association’s First Division A competition on Saturday 15 February.

A century by the promising Quasim Salie (120) enabled Primrose to post the highest score this season with a mammoth 297/8 against the hapless Gugulethu. In reply, Gugs were skittled for 64 with the burly Justin Pringle (5/31) doing most of the damage for the Roses. Tygerberg gave an improved performance scoring 204/6 with Nabeel Abrahams top scoring with a score of 51 runs. Rylands lost wickets at regular intervals in their response, eventually being dismissed for 157 with Abrahams (4/40) completing a fine performance with both bat and ball. Kraaifontein is also in the running with an easy 8-wicket win over a depleted United side. While Milnerton completed the double over Ottoman with a 62-run win.
