Recovery from ‘terminal’ GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz

T

he Claremont Improvement District Company (CIDC) is celebrating 16 years of some positive changes in the area and heralding more growth for the future.

At its annual meeting last week chairperson David Stoll outlined how much has changed since the CIDC was established in 2000.

“In that time, significant investment has flowed into the area, with tangible results,” he said. “New commercial and residential buildings have been built, and existing buildings have been refurbished.

“The public transport interchange has been built and the Claremont Boulevard has been constructed.

“These, and many other developments, have all created a positive momentum for the growth and development of the Claremont central business district.”

Stoll also said during the past decade the value of commercial and residential properties in the Claremont CBD rose 400% to R7.1bn in the current financial year.

Uplifting story “While we see the physical evidence of these developments every day, the inaugural State of Claremont Report, which was released at the annual meeting, gives us the opportunity to tell the story of the progress we made up to this year.

“This document, the first of its kind for Claremont, presents a consolidated overview of the development trends and investment profile of our neighbourhood, and reinforces the reasons why the area is a preferred development destination.”

Abdul Kerbelker, executive manager of the CIDC, added to the excitement of the celebration by pointing out that since the early days under Anthony Davie’s leadership, the area was a continuing work in progress.

“We have moved beyond the era of litterstrewn streets and pervasive crime into a phase of sustainable growth,” he said. “Our success is measured by the economic success of those who work, live and play within our boundaries.

“That’s why it is so exciting to see the reshaping of the urban landscape, and to see new businesses open their doors.”

Not terminal anymore Kerbelker added that looking back in history the future of Claremont seemed assured during the 1970s and ’80s but during the ’90s the development of shopping centres in other areas heralded a shift in the suburb’s fortunes.

“There was a growing consensus that Claremont’s CBD was in terminal decline,” he says.

“In the face of growing urban decay and investor flight, property owners and investors realised that any attempt to upgrade

Claremont would have to be undertaken by local stakeholders themselves.

“The City Improvement District (CID) bylaw was created by local government in 2000 and this allowed the first two CIDs, the Cape Town CID in the city and the CIDC, to be established.

“The process became known as the ‘Claremont renaissance’ and, under the dynamic leadership of the late Chris Drummond, an estimated R1.8bn was invested in the area.”

Stoll added that the first wave of redevelopment featured commercial, retail and residential developments.

“The focus was not just on the development of new buildings but also the refurbishment of existing buildings, with public facilities such as the Claremont Clinic, the library and public transport interchange, the construction of the Claremont Boulevard and the R450m redevelopment of the Pick n Pay site.”

Just in time to nominate watch T

here are only a few days left in which you can nominate your local neighbourhood watch or favourite watch member for a Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Award.

Nominations for the second annual awards close on Friday.

Nearly 200 nominations have already been received, says Hylton Mitchell, chairperson of the NHW Awards steering committee, and they are still coming in.

Last year a total of 122 entries were received from neighbourhood watches all over the Peninsula.

The awards highlight the incredible volunteer work being done by the more than 19 000 local NHW members who often, at great personal cost, do this community service without favour or reward.

It aims to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and dedication that goes into providing a vital community service that often goes unrewarded.

Capetonians can nominate their local neighbourhood watch or favourite watch members in

the following categories: . NHW Member of the Year . NHW of the Year . Above and Beyond . Safe City . Innovation . Partnership Working . Community Cohesion Seven humorous awards will also be handed out at the awards ceremony on 25 November, including the 007 Award, Mr Gadget, Night Rider, Thelma and Louise, Rocky, Starsky & Hutch and the A-Team (a group

award).

The NHW Awards are held in conjunction with the City of Cape Town’s safety and security directorate and its partners, including the Department of Community Safety.

People’s Post is the media partner.

The awards will be judged by a committee that comprises a mix of stakeholders with a keen understanding of the criteria in awarding an official NHW Award.

Inspirational lessons hit home at youth camp GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz A group of learners and students from schools and colleges across the peninsula are ready to face their future with a fiery determination and positivity.

This was evident when MOT South Africa, an NPO based in Pinelands that facilitates a life-skills programme for youth, hosted the Young MOTivators Inspiration event at Northlink College’s Tygerberg campus on Friday 14 October.

This event was used to showcase the skills the learners and students learnt at youth camps held in May and August.

This event showed how the organisation is tapping into the passion, energy and potential of young people to make a difference at their

schools and colleges and in their communities.

Wanda Möller, CEO of MOT South Africa, explains that 130 participants attended the youth training camps where they were equipped with leadership and presentation skills to become youth leaders and MOT peer trainers at their respective schools and colleges.

“At the inspiration event we had 85 Grade 9 learners (between 14 and 16 years) from nine high schools and 45 students, between the ages of 18 and 24, from technical and vocational education and training colleges in the Western Cape.

“Part of the training at the camps was for them to be here today and tell us what lessons they took from the camp and how they applied it

at their schools and in their communities.”

Colleges that participated were the College of Cape Town, Boland College, Northlink College, West Coast College (Vredendal campus), West Coast College (Citrusdal campus) and False Bay College (Muizenberg).

High schools represented at the event were Spine Road High School (Mitchell’s Plain), South Peninsula High School (Diep River), Silikamva High School (Hout Bay), Steenberg High School, Centre of Science and Technology (Cosat) in Khayelitsha, Buren High School (Ysterplaat), Ihlumelo Sen-

ior Secondary School (Mbekweni) and Desmond Mpilo Tutu Senior Secondary School (Mbekweni).

Some of the projects that they took to their communities included implementing feeding schemes at their colleges and schools, pampering the elderly at old age homes, community street clean-ups and various donation campaigns.

“It is clear to see the impact that MOT has on the students and how much it has enriched their lives and in turn the lives of those they come into contact with,” says Möller.

age, and the ability to take a stand against something; in this case, against the prevalence of violence and drug use, explains Möller.

“We encourage the youth to step out of their comfort zone and show courage.

“To witness these young minds challenging themselves to be greater, do better and give back, motivates us to keep going, keep growing and keep believing.

“The youth are our future and the future lies in the hands of our youth. They are our tomorrow.

They have realised their power and apply it to make a positive change in society.”

System ‘a quantum leap’ MICHELLE LINNERT @linnertmb

A

first for South Africa, a first for Cape Town and an “epic” new way of monitoring, measuring and executing the City of Cape Town’s emergency service delivery function.

This was what was shown first-hand to a mass meeting of the city’s neighbourhood watches this past Saturday.

JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, gave a live demonstration to the members present in the City’s council chambers, explaining how the City’s new Epic software programme works.

The idea was to engage with the watches on how they can, over a period of three years, be included in the use of Epic, or Emergency Police Incident Control.

Says JP Horne, Epic’s programme manager: “This has been a three-year journey for us. This has really been about automating our business. The main aim was getting all departments onto a single system for all services and to improve coordination of services.

“We also hope to strengthen our relationships with the neighbourhood watches and the various community policing forums.”

This specially developed software was likened to that currently used by the American 911 emergency service, while locally residents will still be able to access emergency help by dialling 107.

Purely municipal matters such as leaking pipes and potholes, however, would still be recorded on the City’s C3 system, Horne says.

Epic tracks each emergency call received in meticulous detail on a map and

JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, explains the City’s new computer programme that organises emergency responses.

PHOTO: MICHELLE LINNERT mobile apps. It was supplied to all safety and security personnel in Metro Police, Disaster Risk Management, Traffic Services, Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue Services and the 107 public emergency contact centre.

The system records every single emergency call, the response to it and by which unit, the time spent on the incident, which actions were taken, right up to its completion, in real time.

At any stage the 1000 trained desk-

bound staff and the 1500 trained field staff (who received mobile devices on which the software is loaded) will be able determine at a glance how to react to the various priority emergencies.

Despatchers will be able to help within mere minutes by sending the nearest relevant unit to help, while they are simultaneously able to track the icons representing these units in detail on the map on their screens.

A call could take as little as 60 to 90 seconds from being reported to being actioned.

“We had 6000 incidents for October. Epic will help us determine what specific hotspots are and what resources are best to address these incidents,” says Mehboob Foflonker, the chief IT architect of the new software.

“Epic’s main aim is to have all service providers through the front door to make it more efficient.”

Smith adds the software will also show the loopholes and where reallocation of resources is necessary.

“Epic will show if there is a shortfall in service delivery. It can now be quantified,” he says.

“This is a quantum leap for us – as we are falling out of the nest all the way down and learning to fly.”

Smith calls the watches a “roving army of CCTV cameras” and adds the specifics of the roll-out of the model to them was being looked into, but reiterated the threeyear projection.

He adds the police have also shown an interest in seeing the demonstration of Epic.

Taps off course to save water As Level 3 water restrictions are implemented, residents are cautioned to expect slight changes in water quality on and off.

The harsher restrictions came into effect last Tuesday.

Changes to the water distribution system could impact the clarity or taste of water in some areas of the northern and central suburbs.

These changes are required to conserve water in the Theewaterskloof Dam, the biggest dam in the province providing water to Cape Town, is only 52% full compared to 76% last year, says Alan Winde, provincial minister of economic opportunities.

Water pressure will be reduced to limit water leaks from underground pipes and faulty plumbing fittings. As a result, taps may flow more slowly.

These flow changes in some of the pipelines may cause temporary cloudiness or a

slight discolouration in the water.

Residents may also have experienced an earthy taste and odour to their drinking water caused by low levels of Geosmin in dam waters. This is a naturally occurring compound and is neither toxic nor harmful. Water quality is monitored continuously and all water supplied will be entirely safe for human consumption, the City of Cape Town says in a statement.

Winde confirms parts of the province are still experiencing drought conditions.

“We mustn’t bury our heads in the sand like ostriches over the looming water crisis.

If we do, future generations will bear the brunt of our foolishness.”

The Level 3 tariff schedule will be implemented from 1 December to allow residents time to adjust to the new restrictions.

Disco beat will save a life T

here’s a call for capability to save a life and a beat from the Bee Gees can make a difference.

South Africa’s National CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Week is highlighted this week until Thursday to raise awareness to help increase bystander response rates in emergencies.

“The unfortunate reality is that 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home, with less than half of this number receiving early CPR,” says Dr Adrian McCann, clinical manager of the Life Kingsbury Emergency Unit in Claremont.

“Early CPR can double or even triple someone’s chances of survival, yet less than 60 years ago CPR was a new idea.”

McCann explains that on 16 September 1960 Dr Peter Safar took to the podium at the annual Maryland Medical Society meeting. The moderator introduced him, saying: “Our purpose today is to bring to you this new idea.”

So new was “this idea” that it didn’t even have a name, and little did anyone know that it would revolutionise the care of critically ill patients.

“Up until this point people only guessed as to what to do when someone’s heart stopped, after a drowning for example. Safar was the first to formalise an easy to do and easy to teach system that was proven

to work,” says McCann. “CPR has changed little over the years, although teaching methods have evolved with technology (and pop culture).”

McCann adds that the most important, and very first thing, that you need to do when somebody collapses is call emergency services.

“Time is critical when somebody’s heart stops or has a cardiac arrest.

“Then, when you have told the emergency services that the person has collapsed and where to find you, it is time to “stay alive”.

According to the American Heart Association, the most effective way to perform CPR is to push hard on the centre of the chest to the beat of the Bee Gees disco classic “Stayin’ Alive”.

“Should you get a chance, make sure the victim’s mouth and throat are clear of obstructions, then give two full breaths. Don’t be concerned if you forget to do these or are unsure how to do them as the most important thing is to keep the blood moving by doing the ‘musical compressions’.”

McCann recommends that anyone of any age should do an American Heart Association Family and Friends CPR course. This 3-hour course will equip you with the vital skills to save a loved one’s life.

CARING CATERING: The Cape Town staff of Korbitec and its parent company,

LexisNexis, celebrated their inaugural Cares Day at Great Westerford in Newlands on Friday 28 October. As part of their larger corporate social responsibility programme Korbitec and LexisNexis handed over a donation of more than R90 000 to Molo Songololo, a local charity that creates awareness of human trafficking in South Africa.

As well as a cash donation of R50 000, staff of the two companies made more than 500 sandwiches for the children of Blikkiesdrop in Delft and put together 250 dignity packs, containing essential toiletries, to be distributed by Molo Songololo to young victims of sexual abuse and trafficking. Getting into the swing of making sandwiches are, from left, Kudakwashe Zimudzi (Molo Songololo social worker) with Korbitec and LexisNexis staff members Gareth Abrahams, Jacques Theron and Stephan Crous.

FROM PAGE 1 “Since the CIDC was established, this vision has become a reality with the central business district now an active urban hub, bringing shoppers, workers and residents back to its centre,” Stoll said.

Kerbelker was also excited about the second wave of the “Claremont renaissance” getting underway with the construction of the Claremont Boulevard awakening a spine of activity along the Main Road.

“We see the redevelopment of the Werdmuller Centre stimulating even more economic activity,” he said.

“Long-term retailers are retaining their centres of operation. New businesses are opening and new residential ac-

commodation is being developed within mixed-use developments.”

Stoll concluded by adding that part of the progress in the area included caring for the environment with conservation and greening in mind.

“As we look to the future, we also look forward to a new phase of green development throughout the CBD, supported by additional transport links that will reduce congestion and carbon emissions.

“The Bus Rapid Transport system and the University of Cape Town’s transport link play a critical role in this regard.

“Set in this context, the CIDC’s work is a crucial element of the future sustainable success of the area.”

Fat woman and her 3 friends Much loved funny man Tobie Cronjé will be back at Theatre on the Bay from tomorrow in the Charles Laurence comedy My Fat Friend.

Laurence’s (1931-2013) London and Broadway hit tells the story of an overly large Vicky (played by Michelle Botha) who owns a successful bookshop in London’s Hampstead. She guzzles comfort food and chocolate to make up for her somewhat boring existence.

She good-humouredly suffers the slings and arrows of her friend and lodger, the not-so-young Henry (Tobie Cronjé), while failing to notice that her other tenant, James (Jeremy Richard), worships her

from afar.

A stranger, a handsome man of thirty, one day stumbles into her bookshop looking for a travel book as he is on the verge of departing for Iran on a four-month working engagement.

The man, Tom (Charlie Bouguenon), strikes up a conversation with Vicky – who seems unable to comprehend that Tom is unperturbed by her weight. The two completely hit it off and agree to keep in touch while Tom is away and resume where they left matters when Tom returns.

Loving nothing more than to meddle in Vicky’s affairs, Henry suggests to her that she should lose weight during Tom’s absence and knock his socks off when he returns to London.

Aided by Henry and James, hard exercise, diet and a graph she manages to reduce to a streamlined version of her former self – only to realise it was her rotundity that attracted Tom in the first place.

Directed by André Odendaal, My Fat Friend runs at Theatre on the Bay until Saturday 26 November.

S H E R AT O N T E X T I L E S

Staff get in sync with insourcing N

ovember signals new beginnings for some employees at UCT. Vice-chancellor Dr Max Price announced that from the beginning of this month 267 employees from C3 Food Services are now full-time employees of the university. This follows the insourcing of staff from five service providers from July this year.

“This means that all of the previously outsourced services are now part of UCT, with the university honouring its commitment to social justice and ensuring that these outsourced workers become part of the UCT family,” he says.

“As the university welcomes our new colleagues, there will be a continued focus on ensuring that the insourced services are effectively utilised and optimally configured.”

He further explains that this follows an agreement signed with the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) on 28 October.

“The employees being insourced are contracted to UCT on a full-time basis by six companies: TurfWorks, G4S, Sibanye, Metro Cleaning Services, Supercare and C3 Food Services,” he says.

“Staff from C3 Food Services will be insourced when their contract ends in 2019, unless an earlier date is agreed.

“Our insourcing process has been guided

by Section 197 of the Labour Relations Act, which deals with the transfer of employees.

In essence, this means that the insourced staff will be employed by UCT on no less favourable terms and conditions of service than before.”

MONDAYS - FRIDAYS: 08:30 - 17:00 SATURDAYS: 08:30 - 14:00

With this new development comes new job grading and benefits which include job evaluation and grading processes with pay scales for the different job categories.

“It also optimises employment conditions in accordance with UCT conditions,” adds Price.

Price also explains that since the beginning of October much hard work has gone into ensuring that all necessary operational processes are in place for a smooth transition for the insourced staff.

“To facilitate an insourcing project of this complexity and magnitude, we have decided to keep the current model of operation intact.

“Operationally, this means that the insourced staff will continue to be managed by the properties and services department and the department of student affairs.”

Price states that the insourced employees have been an integral part of UCT’s functioning for some time already, through the long-term services they have provided to UCT for the grounds and gardens, residences, transporting staff and students, and protecting the campus community, facilities and heritage.

“While they have been doing these services they have not been UCT employees.

“They often expressed the view that they have felt excluded from the UCT family even though they feed our students, clean the intimate spaces we work and live in, protect us, advise visitors who approach them about where to go and have always felt enormously proud to be working at UCT. “Now they are part of the UCT family.”

CAKES FOR KIDS

Celebrate kids with cake

CHEVON BOOYSEN @ChevonBooysen

H

ow special is a birthday without a cake to celebrate it?

Many children are not afforded the privilege of a birthday party, much less a cake to celebrate their special days.

But a good-hearted organisation realised the need of children who are not afforded this luxury after visiting a home in Schaapkraal during August last year.

Salwaa Smith and her daughter, Tohierah Smith, from Newfields, head up Cakes For Kids in South Africa and their organisation caters to children who may have never known what it was like to celebrate a birthday.

“My husband, children and I visited [the Beitun Nur Home in Schaapkraal] for destitute girls in July last year. Although the children are cared for very well there, my children were affected by the history and situation of most of the girls. When we left they couldn’t stop talking and reflecting about the children and their visit,” Salwaa says.

She says this inspired her to look at ways to make a difference in children’s lives.

“I know from experience the children’s basic needs are met [in terms of food, clothes and schooling]. I did some research and came across similar groups like ours in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States of America (USA). I thought this would be something good to start in South Africa. I contacted a few institutes, orphanages and care homes and their responses were overwhelming,” she recalls.

Salwaa says 99% of the institutes were more than happy to be a part of her initiative.

“At the end of the day a birthday cake is a luxury for them – something we take for granted. So that’s how it started. We provide free birthday cakes to less privileged children who mostly live in orphanages, carehomes, shelters.

“To date we have 18 institutes on board [that we donate cakes to]. We try and donate birthday cakes for each child on their birthday,” she says.

And now, Salwaa says they are baking an average of 45 cakes a month. “This figure is increasing monthly,” she adds.

Salwaa explains the Cakes for Kids organisation is a registered charity in the UK and she is in the process of applying to have NPO

Cake for Kids is an organisation that donates birthday cakes to underprivileged children at orphanages or care homes. They also donate cakes to disabled seniors. Pictured are members of the Bonteheuwel Day Care Facility with their donated cakes. status in South Africa.

Since embarking on the initiative, Salwaa says they have had a lot of support from people who know about their organisation.

“I started this initiative with the support of my daughter, Tohierah, who does most of the baking and decorating of the birthday cakes. Currently, we have a group of approximately 10 regular donors and sponsors who bake for pleasure or run a home baking business,” she says.

Most recently Cakes for Kids hosted a Fun Day in Paarl where entertainment and treats were set up for about 500 children.

Speaking about future plans for the organisation, Salwaa says they hope to host the Fun Day annually.

“We hoping to have it annually. This year we were lucky to have the stunning venue of Roggeland Country House in Paarl sponsored by the owners.

“In addition we would love to go nationally with our initiative as we only able to service institutes in Cape Town at the moment,” she says.

Salwaa says the most rewarding bit of carrying a cake through is to “see the children’s faces and the smile when they see their spe-

cial personalised cake”.

The majority of these kids have never ever had a party let alone a cake personalised just for themselves before.”

“I try to do justice to everyone who requests a cake. Most of the birth dates are sent to me by the carers or the person in charge of the institutes. I get requests from individuals but they have to go through a screening process before I can offer them a free birthday cake.

“In return I compile the list of birthdays for the coming month which I send to my group of volunteers who in turn choose a convenient date for them. They will then bake the cake with all the trimmings and in some instances deliver it to the child in question. Whenever we have a shortfall, which is every month, my daughter bakes the cakes. I couldn’t have done this without the support of my husband. In addition to the care-homes we have disabled grown ups who we donate birthday cakes to as well,” she says.

V If you would like to donate or sponsor a cake or ingredients, contact Salwaa Smith on 071 924 9583 or Tohierah Smith on 078 606 9655. Alternatively email cakesforkids@capemalaycooking.me.

Shooting for Pit Pals Meet Spartacus, an extremely happy pitbull who was adopted from the animal organisation Pit Pals by Neels Kleynhans, a professional photographer.

Pit Pals rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes pitbulls and other power breeds and is pro-life.

When Neels decided to take on Pit Pals as a charity project, he did not expect to take home one of the pitbulls at the shelter.

But he did, and decided there and then to organise a photo shoot in aid of the organisation and to pledge 10% of his income to Pit Pals for a year.

“At first I only agreed to take Spartacus for the weekend. But when the time came to take him back to the shelter, I simply couldn’t. He is such a joyful dog and he’s already part of the family. I now truly believe in the motto ‘Don’t shop; adopt’,” says Neels.

Spartacus was at the shelter for 120 days before Neels decided to adopt him.

The photo shoot is taking place at Melkbosstrand on Sunday 13 November and booking is essential. A 15-minute photo shoot on the beach with your pet will cost R150 and all the proceeds will go to Pit Pals.

V To book a shoot, phone Neels on 071 682 1653. For more information on Pit Pals, go to www.pitpals.org.za.

Happiness is finding a loving home ... just ask Spartacus!

MUNICIPAL MATTERS

How to complain to the City MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

P

otholes, burst pipes, broken streetlights and stolen wheelie bins are some of the daily irritations faced by many Capetonians. However, thanks to a German software system, all these could be fixed timeously by the municipality.

We have all heard the terms “service requests” or “C3 notifications” at some point, but what do they actually mean and what does it have to do with the potholes in your road?

In this week’s edition of “Municipal Matters”, People’s Post talks to Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for corporate services and compliance, to find out more.

A SAP C3 notification is a service request, or a request for work to be done. Limberg says C3s are no longer referred to as such but are called service requests.

“The service request system is central to managing service delivery in the City using the service management process. The service request notification system has excellent tracking and reporting capabilities. The SAP service request notification is the most commonly used type of notification in the City.”

Where it all started According to a report written by Emma Louise Powell of the City of Cape Town, SAP is a German-owned brand of large-scale software that computerises business processes to help with the management of customer relationships and specific business operations within both public and private sector organisations.

The City began rolling out SAP in 2000 and has saved money by using this system to

manage the municipality’s various online processes.

Following the formation of the UniCity in 2000 in which 38 municipalities were consolidated into one metropolitan municipality, now known as the City of Cape Town, the City was faced with the overwhelming task of consolidating all 38 respective computer systems into one single computerised management system.

Preparation and system development started in 2000 and the system went live in September 2003. Consulting firm Accenture was contracted to implement the system and make it manageable, but also to train local SAP managers to ensure the smooth future management of the system.

Statistics During the previous financial year, Limberg says, the City received 1 050 491 service requests.

The City uses about 900 different complaint types. Some of the top 10 requests are blocked sewers, no power, water management devices, no water supply and broken streetlights.

According to the latest statistics, the City received 110 531 service requests for blocked sewers, 94 154 for no power and 41 148 for no water or water management devices.

“There are about 900 different complaint types, but generally the system is used for any service delivery requests. For example, requests relating to account enquiries, refuse collection, illegal dumping, water leaks, sewer blockages, streetlights that are not working, potholes and damaged roads.”

Tracking progress Limberg says the major benefit of using the system is the strong tracking and report-

ing capabilities.

“All service requests follow a single process, making it easy to manage. Service request reporting provides a detailed history of a specific customer, community and service delivery issue and tracks the service request [from beginning to end]. It is valuable to understanding the background of a case when dealing with complaints and service delivery strikes.

“The reference number is used to identify and follow up on a particular notification.

Stakeholders can log and track their own service requests. The system is available to all stakeholders 24/7 via the SAP portal and eSelf-service on the internet.”

In addition, she says service requests are used by City departments to manage service delivery. All service request notifications are dated, categorised and geo-coded. Departments are able to plan their work schedules, prioritise, allocate staff resources and budget accordingly.

using any of the following channels to report faults or log enquiries: . Call on 0860 103 089 . Email contact.us@capetown.gov.za . SMS to 31220 for electricity-related enquiries and 31373 for water-related enquiries . Visit the City’s website www.capetown.gov.za and go to “eServices” or “Have Your Say” . Twitter and Facebook . By using one of the FreeCall lines installed in various areas across the city.

Any roads and stormwater related issues can be reported to the Transport Information Centre (TIC) by using one of the following channels: . Call 0800 65 64 63 . Email transport.info@capetown.gov.za . Download and use the Transport for Cape Town App on your smartphone . When you contact the City’s call centre there will also be an option available to be connected with the TIC.

The process Asked whether some requests, such as pipe bursts or sewage spills, are dealt with more urgently than others, Limberg explains all service requests follow the same notification process.

This single notification process overcomes the challenges of starting and tracking all the different services that the City is responsible for. The process comprises five steps: Receive, assign, execute, close and report.

She says there is no average turnaround time for a service request as this depends on the department responsible for the request.

So what if I don’t have airtime?

Limberg says the City is aware of the limited landline availability and the high costs of cellphone calls. To help residents, they have installed FreeCall lines in public offices and facilities across the city.

“When a resident picks up the handset, they will immediately be connected to the City’s call centre at no cost. The call centre agent will respond in the language preferred by the caller, log the service request and provide the caller with a reference number.”

If you do not have access to the internet at home you can use a SmartCape computer which is connected to the internet for free in any of the City’s 102 libraries. A number of online services are available via the eServices portal.

How do I report a problem?

Not only did Du Plessis bat well (4/4) to help his team score nine runs off the three Bothasig pitchers, he also took over the pitching duties from Jayson Ripepi, to help restrict Bothasig to only three runs.

Ashwin Booysen (3/3) also found the pitching to his liking.

Yankees took advantage in the seventh inning when they scored four runs from four hits and four walks. Mitchell started for Bothasig and pitched five good innings, giving up a run, three hits and two walks while striking out two Yankee hitters.

Yankees started with Ripepi, conceding two runs and two hits and striking out four hitters.

Du Plessis threw the last five innings without conceding any runs.

Yankees showed their intent to attack Bothasig by attempting three stolen bases against Bothasig catcher Dayle Feldtman. Feldtman threw out all three runners.

Bellville 4-0 Athlone A’s A combination of good pitching

by Bellville and a poor batting display by Athlone A’s saw Bellville beat Athlone 4-0 at PP Smit Sports Ground in Bellville.

Callan Pearce, pitcher for the South African national team, and former national team pitcher Bruce McClelland combined their pitching skills to register the shut-

out win for Bellville.

Pearce started and threw three innings, conceding a hit and a walk and striking out three hitters.

McClelland did a great job throwing the last six innings, also only conceding a single hit and a walk and striking out three batters.

Bellville scored two runs in the second inning, one in the third inning off A’s Carl Michaels (also on the South African national team) and a run in the eighth inning off Lloyd Stevens.

Michaels threw seven innings, conceding three runs, five hits and three walks while striking out six hitters. Stevens threw the last inning, conceding a run, a hit and a walk and striking out one hitter.

A’s once again relied heavily on their pitching department to win the game for them, but could not contribute much in the batting department, which needs to score the runs to win their games. They recorded two scattered hits and did not offer any real threat of scoring.

Durbanville 10-4 Crusaders Home runs by Haydon Mathee and Brandon Geihlig helped Durbanville secure its first win of the season – a 10-4 drubbing of Crusaders in Durbanville.

Geihlig batted 1/3 with a home run in the first inning when Durbanville opened its scoring with three runs. Crusaders scored two runs in the first and a solitary run in the second inning, which set the tone for what looked like a mouthwatering bottom-of-the-log encounter. However, a further four runs in the second and three runs in the fourth inning by Durbanville took the game away from Cru-

saders. Mathee batted 3/3 with his home run coming in the fourth inning.

Crusaders started their pitching with Lucien Swartz, who has returned after a two-year spell at Lansdowne Eagles. Swartz threw four innings, conceded 10 runs from six hits and four walks and struck out one hitter. He was replaced by Ashwin Kleintjies, who conceded no further runs, allowing two hits and a walk. Crusaders had five scattered hits, but were unable to group them together.

VOB 9-3 Maitland Giants At Chukker Road, Maitland Giants beat the home team VOB 9-3 with a good all-round team performance. Giants out-hit their opponent 13 hits to four, with eight of their nine players registering hits Lead-off hitter Ryan Samie (2/5 with two doubles), Kyle Inglis (2/4) and Jayde Thorne (4/5) were the pick of the Giants hitters. Grant Emmanuel (2/4) and Paul Bell (1/2) did well for VOB. Giants used two pitchers with Jayde Thorne doing well. Canadian Jas Shergill pitched the first five innings. Thorne took over in the sixth inning, pitching the last four innings, conceding a run from two hits and a walk and striking out seven hitters.

Michael Scritten threw six innings, allowing Giants to score five runs from 10 hits and a walk while he struck out three hitters. He was briefly relieved by Josh Rich for an inning. Grant Robertson closed out the last two innings, conceding three runs. The VOB pitchers were badly let down by their defence that made seven errors.

lenthorn A’s have climbed to the top of the Cape Town Softball Association’s super league after beating Falcons at Turfhall on Saturday.

Bronwyn Marshall turned into the offensive hero for Glenthorn when she batted in Deidré Sassman and Cindy Davids in the bottom of the fifth inning to hand the Athlone outfit a 5-4 victory.

Marshall then kept Falcons scoreless to retain Glenthorn’s unbeaten record.

The A’s were quick off the mark, scoring two runs in the first inning with Lynn Lekay and Alex Fortune crossing the plate.

Falcons steadily clawed their way back into the game, scoring runs every alternate inning to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth inning. A’s also reigned supreme in the defensive aspect of the game with an error-free display.

Veteran Marshall pitched for A’s. She faced 22 batters and gave up six hits. Nicky Jones pitched for Falcons, facing 23 batters and giving up eight hits.

Marshall (2-2) was Glenthorn’s best batter along with Lekay (1-2), while Lindsay Vercueil (2-3), Ammaarah Larney (2-4) and Celeste Marks (2-3) performed for Falcons.

Kirsten brings personal cricket coaching to your cellphone Gary Kirsten, along with his coaching team at Gary Kirsten Cricket, are now offering free coaching on your cellphone to aspiring cricketers.

Kirsten is a household name in the cricketing world. His exploits as an international cricketer and coach are well documented, but in recent years, Kirsten and his team have conducted high-performance coaching clinics throughout South Africa as well as in India, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

“Cricket is a global game and we as a global cricket academy enjoy travelling to

various international destinations for coaching clinics. However, we’re very excited about being readily available to anyone with access to a smartphone and WhatsApp. Players are able to send the Gary Kirsten Cricket (GKC) Academy coaching team a short video clip of themselves practising for some free coaching analysis, tips and advice,” says Kirsten.

Creating the clip is a simple task and an instructional video can be found at www.garykirsten.com.

It can be filmed by a player’s coach, parent or friend using the camera on his cell-

phone.

“We at Gary Kirsten Cricket always aim to be at the leading edge of innovation and making use of mobile technology is an exciting way for us to meet the needs of our coaching work. The idea of being able to share a piece of coaching advice with players in the most remote parts of India, Pakistan or Africa, whilst also being able to engage with players in the biggest cites of London, Sydney, Johannesburg or Dubai within seconds, makes me very excited,” Kirsten adds.

For now the team has opted not to cap

the number of videos that players can submit. The filming guidelines can be found on the website and academy’s social media pages, explains Ryan Cook, GKC coaching director.

“We have no idea how many videos will be sent to our team from around the world and we’re planning to keep this a free service until the demands become too great,” says Cook.

V Players will be able to send in a short video of themselves batting or bowling to the Gary Kirsten Cricket coaching team via their Whatsapp number 076 171 2300.
