DUNOON CLINIC: KIND GESTURE FROM LOCAL COMPANY

Frontline workers spoiled KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

O

ver 150 frontline healthcare workers at the Dunoon Clinic in Milnerton were honoured on Wednesday 23 September as part of Heritage Day celebrations.

Fair Cape Dairies hosted a braai for the workers in appreciation of their contribution and personal sacrifices made during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fair Cape Dairies provided platters, juices and desserts to the healthcare workers.

The day also incorporated the clinic’s annual Heritage Day cultural costume competition.

Dunoon clinic manager, Warren Caesar, said they were approached by Fair Cape Dairies who wished to show their appreciation to the clinic’s frontline workers.

“They offered to hold a braai for Heritage Day and we were all in agreement with it.

It latches onto our culture of values at this facility. We have a very strong culture of team support and working together,” he said.

“On a monthly basis, we try and do something for our staff like having a hot chocolate day, pancakes and team building. Although we get salaries, we need to say thank you and we need to appreciate staff on the softer matters of life. We included all our workers, as well as contracted staff which are our clean-

ers and security. We exist for our community and the security guards’ welcome makes our clients feel welcome at the facility,” Caesar said.

The frontline workers were in awe of Fair Cape Dairies’ kind gesture, with most of them wearing traditional clothes to commemorate Heritage Day. One of the workers at the clinic, Gloria Smith, said they were very grateful.

Road closures due to fuel leak KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

R

oads were closed at Koeberg and Plattekloof, Tanzanite and Ruby Boulevard on Tuesday September 22, due to an underground fuel leak at the Milnerton Refinery.

Astron Energy said in a statement that they have worked with the relevant authorities to successfully contain a product spill that occurred on a section of the transfer pipeline between the Milnerton Refinery

and Acacia Park.

The City of Cape Town’s fire and rescue services were also on the scene at the Milnerton Refinery.

“Our immediate priority was to minimize the impact of this incident and measures were put in place to prevent further spread of the product. An investigation into the incident is ongoing,” Astron Energy said in its statement.

A Milnerton resident Lee-roy Kloppers said the fuel leak caused havoc as he had to make use of alternative routes.

“My daily route is on Koeberg Road and traffic was heavily congested last week.

However, traffic officials were also on the roads, trying their best to make it safer for everyone,” Kloppers said.

In July, an explosion at the Milnerton refinery claimed two lives, leaving seven more injured.

The City’s fire and emergency services were at the scene to assist.

Astron Energy confirmed that the seven injured in the incident are out of hospital and recuperating well.

Desalination plants take a final bow The Monwabisi desalination plant is being decommissioned as the two-year pe­riod for which it was hired has come to an end.

Decommissioning of its counterpart in Strandfontein already commenced in June this year, and is currently underway.

The City commissioned both the Monwabisi and Strandfontein temporary desalination plants to provide emergency water supply in the event that it was needed, as we faced the prospect of Day Zero.

“The Monwabisi temporary desalina­tion plant bids farewell at a very different time to when it was first commissioned during the worst drought in the Cape.

Dam levels have recently reached 98,2% as of 21 September,” the City stated in a media release on Monday 28 September.

“The City has also made big strides towards implementation of larger schemes, as outlined in our water strategy. The first water from the Table Mountain Group Aquifer abstraction programme has al­ready come online, contributing around 15 million litres of groundwater per day to our water supply.

“Operation of these plants has provided valuable hands-on experience in producing desalinated water, which will help us as we work towards larger scale desalination projects. The experience taught us a lot about the management of a desalina­tion plant, and built confidence that this is a viable way of reliably producing good quality drinking water,” said Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for water and sanitation in the City.

“Once the plant has been shut down, the infrastructure will be removed in phases by the contractor. Timeframes for the removal of infrastructure will largely be dependent on the weather and sea condi­tions. During this time, public access to sections of the area may be limited, at short notice, depending on the scope of the work.

The area on which the plant was built will be restored to its former condition.

“An environmental control officer will monitor the rehabilitation work,” she said.

According to Limberg, local community members were given work opportunities

throughout the duration of the project, from construction right through to the operation of the desalination plant.

“Residents are advised that it is likely there will be a slight change to the taste of water as supply shifts back to surface water, but are assured that the strict Sans241 standards remain in place and that the water remains safe to drink.”

Water security going forward Limberg said the drought showed that the City needed to accelerate diversifica­tion of water sources quickly. “The strategy for doing so is outlined in the City’s water strategy, which seeks to ensure that Cape Town will be more resilient to climate change and other shocks. In summary the City is committed to increasing supply by building affordable new capacity of approximately 300 million litres per day over the next 10 years, and in suitable increments thereafter, in a way that is adaptable and robust to changes.”

FROM PAGE 1 “We are very grateful to Fair Cape Dairies for the delicious meal. It makes you feel good when you know there are companies that care and do things to show their appreciation,” Smith said.

The event took place in celebration of the October relaunch of Fair Cape Dairies’ long life milk packaging, which will include a

thank you message to frontline health workers for their invaluable contribution to the country’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fair Cape Dairies’ marketing director, Louis Loubser, says the company is humbled by the dedication, commitment and courage of the frontline health workers dur-

ing the healthcare crisis the country has faced.

Loubser added, “These extraordinary people deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration, and we hope the simple gesture of appreciation we’ve made today will spread joy among them as the country celebrate Heritage Day.”

Ysterplaat Air Force Base celebrates Heritage Day KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

A

ircrafts lined up at the Ysterplaat Air Force Base (AFB) on Wednesday 23 September to commemorate Heritage

Day. Various events were staged at air bases throughout the country ahead of Heritage Day celebrations, with Ysterplaat AFB partnering with the residential South African Air Force (SAAF) Museum branch to allow units, sections and squadrons to adopt a museum aircraft and celebrate the SAAF’s heritage.

Planned to “unite heritage with the future”, younger members of all the lodger units on the base were invited to clean and prepare their chosen SAAF Museum aircraft for display.

Officer commanding of AFB Ysterplaat, Col Carl Moatshe, noted with appreciation that “in the midst of the Covid-19 battle, members found the time to fix, clean and replace tyres on their adopted aircraft for this day. The call was made and the prestige members of the base responded as required.

It is my wish that the adoptions become permanent as we plan to improve and make this effort bigger and better in the future,”

Larochelle Parker pictured at the Douglas Dakota aircraft at the Ysterplaat Airforce Base’s Heritage Day celebration.

He explained that AFB Ysterplaat is the only dedicated maritime air base in the country. He said the event planned to unite heritage with the future.

Moatshe boasted members of Ysterplaat

AFB as the base won the SAAF’s Prestige Base of the Year for the second year in a row.

After a short parade, certificates were handed to members of the base for their hard work and dedication over the past year.

R27 million relief fund to help small businesses Provincial minister of finance David Maynier last week launced the Western Cape Covid-19 Business Relief Fund, which commits R27 million to supporting small businesses in both the formal and informal sectors who have been hard-hit by Covid-19 restrictions.

“We know that times have been tough for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The fund will provide financial assistance in the form of a financial grant to businesses who can apply to either the formal or informal business category. The grant will be used exclusively to subsidise business expenses such as fixed costs, operational costs, supplier debt and other pressure cost items,” he said in a statement to the media.

“With the move to alert level 1 which allows more businesses to safely open, this fund is an important step in our economic recovery plan to help businesses to rebuild and save jobs in the Western Cape. And so, I would like to encourage all interested small businesses to apply. We look forward to receiving your submissions.” The closing date for submissions is Monday, 12 October 2020 at 10:00.

Home needs help to upgrade houses Durbanville Children’s Home is presenting its adopt-a-home project to upgrade the various houses in which its children are homed.

The home has 12 house units – each a duplex with the bottom area consisting of a kitchen, living area and store room. The top area consists of four bedrooms and a bathroom.

“Our aim is to create an enriching and stimulating home environment for the children in our care by offering love, emotional support, opportunities and a child friendly environment,” says Melanie Stipp, marketing and campaigns coordinator of Durban-

ville Children’s Home.

“Our main challenge presently is that we need to upgrade our house units,” she says.

According to Stipp research has shown that a child’s early home environment has a long-term effect on development.

“The home environment can even affect a child’s brain development. Colour psychology and its impact on a child’s learning abilities and behaviour is a much-researched subject.

“Colour psychologists have linked colour with brain development, enhanced productivity and even transition from childhood to

adulthood,” she says.

The estimated cost of the upgrading per house unit of R85 640 includes painting, curtains, bedding, décor, the upgrade of kitchen cupboards, new flooring, cutlery and crockery.

Donors can also make a monetary commitment by using their own contractors.

In return for their investment, the donors will have naming rights and prominent advertising on site for a period of 12 months.

Donors will also receive publicity on the home’s website, on Facebook and in its annual report.

Impact of climate change on whales to be explored DESIRÉE RORKE

I

n a world first, three universities in Cape Town will join an international research effort to unravel how the changing ocean conditions are influencing the migration patterns and recovery of the humpback whale population in the southern hemisphere, where numbers significantly increased.

During whaling practises in the previous century, the population of the species dwindled, with more than 220 000 individual whales being hunted down between 1904 and 1972.

By the time the whaling industry ended there were roughly only 1 000 of these whales left in the oceans.

“With conservation regulations in the 1960s and 70s, numbers started to recover, doubling every seven years to a current population of 90 000, according to professor Ken Findlay, a whale expert at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).

In recent years, experts have also noted changes in the migration patterns of these whales, suspected to be linked to climate change.

Iconic to the southern ice sea, the humpback whale species are now the focus of this new six-year long research project, which will see contributions from 25 researchers from six countries including Australia and several South American countries.

KEN FINDLAY

The Whales and Climate Research Programme was conceptualised by prof Alakendra Roychoudhury, an environmental geochemist at the University of Stellenbosch in collaboration with prof Brendan Mackey, director of the Griffith Climate Change Response Programme at Griffith University in Australia.

Professors Findlay and Marchello Vichi, an oceanographer from the University of Cape Town, joins the South African effort.

According to Roychoudhury, the Arctic Ocean is largely unexplored and there is an urgent need for seasonal as well as long-term observations of this vast ocean.

“Climate change is drastically altering our oceans, with less ice in the Arctic and warmer water affecting the migration patterns of whales, says Findlay.

“Humpback whales migrate each year between June and July

from the cold Arctic past South Africa on both sides to breed in Angola and Gabon, Mozambique and Madagascar. By October and November they swim back.

“But last year they didn’t arrive in Mozambique, why not? Something has happened and we don’t know what. The warmer water could be affecting their food source in the Arctic, causing them to not feed enough in order to migrate.”

Findlay says they have also spotted what is called super-groups of about 250 whales in the waters between Lamberts Bay and Cape Point during October and November in recent years.

“This is unheard of. Could it be that they found a new food source?

“Researchers hope to identify and link these seasonal changes to the oceanographic and biogeochemical changes occurring in the Southern Ocean over the same time period,” he says.

Miss SA finale held in Cape Town for first time For the first time in its 62-year history, the finale of the Miss South Africa pageant will be held in Cape Town.

Miss South Africa 2020 will be crowned at The Table Bay Hotel in the V&A Waterfront in an entertainment-packed event on Saturday, October 24, from 17:00. The event will be screened live on M-Net and Mzansi Magic, and will be streamed live for an international audience.

“Throughout Sun International’s long history with the pageant, it was never an option to host it at The Table Bay as we have always had guests staying with us. We’ve been closed since the beginning of the lockdown, but with the announcement that international borders will open, we are getting ready to do so too.

The timing is fortuitous as it is just prior to a spectacular official opening we’re planning for October 30,” says Table Bay’s general manager, Joanne Selby.

“We will host the Top 10 Miss South Africa finalists and a few guests in the week leading up to the pageant.

CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation, Stephanie Weil, is thrilled that this year’s pageant will be taking place at The Table Bay. “Sun International has a long association with the Miss South Africa Organisation.

Public to apply for firework displays I

f you love firework displays, you will now need to apply for a permit.

This is according to the City of Cape Town saying that in terms of the National Explosives Act and the community fire safety by-law, people wishing to host fireworks displays will be able to apply for a permit to do so.

As was the case in 2019, fireworks displays will only be allowed where a permit has been applied for in terms of the relevant legislation.

The City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said any event where 200-plus attendees are expected, or that requires any infrastructure build, will also require an events permit from the City.

“The City wishes to reiterate that, while

it has, in years gone by, provided designated fireworks sites, there is no obligation to do so and since 2019 has no longer provided designated fireworks sites for Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year’s Eve. As we indicated last year, the public will need to apply for a permit for a fireworks display as we no longer provide designated sites. There is growing public sentiment opposing the use of fireworks, and we have also seen a decreased appetite from subcouncils to approve designated sites, Smith said.

He added that with the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible.

“Furthermore, the designated sites have

done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem.Unfortunately this was misinterpreted as a ban on fireworks, when it was first implemented, but I would like to remind the public that only national government has the authority to ban fireworks.

Firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation.”

People who would like to apply for a permit to host a firework display need to apply to the police via email at capetown.explosives.cmrd@saps.gov.za.

Smith said the community should contact the head of the City’s fire and life safety section in their application via email at Ignatius.smart@capetown.gov.za.

“If the application is given the go ahead

by the police, they then have to make contact with the fire and rescue services, the fire life safety section, in the area where they plan to hold the display so that a site inspection can be carried out to determine whether the site is safe for a fireworks display.

Apart from ensuring that there are no fire hazards in the immediate surroundings, permission also needs to be sought from residents and businesses in the area, and strict conditions have to be adhered to before and during the fireworks display to mitigate any potential risk to safety,” Smith said.

Furthermore, the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permission outlined in the Explosives Act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.

Citizens refurbish beach sign KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

V

isitors passing through Bloubergstrand were in awe of the refurbished sign after members of the Blouberstrand Village Residents Association jumped on board to have it restored.

This as the popular Bloubergstrand sign deteriorated over the years due to the weather and lack of maintenance, leaving it grey and dull.

Now the bright blue sign catches the eye of all who drive on Otto du Plessis Drive, welcoming visitors to the area.

Lizzy Botha from the Bloubergstrand Village Residents Association said they asked for assistance via social media at first and ideas were provided.

“It never actually materialised. Then I discussed this with the members on the committee and other residents in the area and everyone raised money. We appointed a painter, but he did not charge us a cent. We decided on the blue colour and to make the wall more modern to withstand weather conditions. That is why we decided to have three coats of paint, so that the wall can last longer,” Botha said.

The wall was sandblasted, leaving it smooth before it was painted.

Botha added that the entrance to Bloubergstrand was also refurbished, all thanks to the beautifying of the Blouberstrand Village team. One of the residents, Petrus Philips, said he was very impressed when he saw the

new sign.

“The sign really creates a welcoming feeling to all those staying here in the area and visitors as well. I have to take my hat off to the team who had put all this together,” he said.

“I do agree that the sign was very dull and no one really paid attention to it. You guys did an amazing job and we as residents can feel proud of our area,” Philips said.

Botha said they have plans in place to continue beautifying the area and looking after residents.

“During lockdown, the resident’s raised money and gave it to some workers and car guards in the area for food. We gave them vouchers for eight weeks every Sunday just to put food on the table,” she explained.

Botha is encouraging the public to donate any type of plant and place it next to the sign.

She added, “My next plan is to ask everyone who passes the sign to place a plant next to it, and to water the plants. We still have a lot of plans, but it’s all about working together.”

Athlete pushes to the extreme NETTALIE VILJOEN While most of us would consider staying in the plank position for longer than two minutes a test of endu­rance, Jamie Marais sets that bar somewhat higher.

On 30 August, Marais became the only known person in the world to have cycled a vertical ascent of 9 000 metres – the equivalent elevation of Mount Everest (8 845m) – in a big-5 game reserve over 36 hours.

Starting at 06:00 on Saturday 29 August, the adventure athlete pressed on through the night to reach the summit of a gravel circuit 40 times (337 kilometres) by 18:00 the next day. And he did it all for a good cause. Well, two good causes – to protect endangered wildlife and to feed communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Durbanville resident says a single phone call made during lockdown set the wheels in motion.

“I remember sitting at home, feeling so frustrated after having read yet another negative post about Covid-19. It got me thinking about my amazing holiday at Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape last December and how they must have been affected by the downturn in tourism.”

That’s when Marais called one of the reserve’s game wardens who in turn put him in touch with Lindy Sutherland, the director of the Kariega Foundation.

The non-profit trust, which supports wildlife conservation and community upliftment, is fuelled by a community and conservation levy paid by adult guests visiting Kariega Game Reserve. For five months, the big-5 game reserve could not bring in any revenue. This meant that the foundation’s community projects, including an anti-poaching unit and community food relief programmes, were in jeopardy.

Sutherland, a Constantia resident, says: “Raising funds to ensure the safety of our endangered species and keep our neighbours and friends fed has become our priority.”

Putting their heads together, they came up with the idea for the #JamieRides4Rhinos campaign.

Once out there, it quickly garnered the support of an international team of creative people, including cycling commentator Phil Liggett, three-time winner of the

Jamie Marais says his biggest stress factor was the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the rough gravel trail.

Roof of Africa off-road endurance motorbike race Louwrens Mahoney of KTM, Mountain Bike SA magazine editor Paul Ingpen and filmmaker Fergus Clark.

Funds raised during the live social media broadcast of the event clocked in at R400 000.

Marais, who did not sleep a wink for the entire 36 hours, says what kept him going was the support of his family.

“My cousin Paul Marais cycled for 12 hours through the night with me. And each time I reached the summit, my wife, Rouchelle, was there, waiting for me.”

Rouchelle Liedemann, who also happens to be a well-known singer and a popular TV personality on kykNET, had broken her toe just a week or so before the event. Marais says seeing his wife there at 02:00 in the morning, hobbling around with her broken toe while bringing him a cup of tea, really warmed his spirit.

He shares a couple of mantras that he repeats to himself to stay motivated.

“What came to mind 32 hours into the ride was, ‘It is not that hard’. With four hours left to go, I started saying that to myself. The more you say it, the more you believe it.”

Besides the huge change in temperature – blistering heat in the afternoon to freezing cold at night – Marais also had to contend with the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the gravel trail.

“There was a large bull

Jamie Marais and Lindy Sutherland.

elephant, Charlie, who stopped me right in my tracks when I started. He stayed in the area, wanting to see what was going on. My biggest stress factor was descending at speed because crashing into an elephant is the last thing you want to do.”

Marais, who is the head of corporate sales for an IT and tech company based in Century City by day, began to focus on solo extreme endurance challenges four years ago. Having competed in top-ranked amateur men’s cycling teams throughout his 30s, Marais says the decision to change gears was made in response to him discovering his “why”.

“When I turned 40, I asked myself why I do what I do and why I want to do what I want to do. I realised my true passion was inspiring people to believe in themselves, to help others realise that nothing is too big to face and to overcome. Each challenge I tackle is a metaphor for what people are facing in life.”

He completed his first major challenge in 2016 when he speed-summitted Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days to raise funds for the Sabrina Love Foundation which cares for children with special needs. Since then, Marais has taken on one big project every year.

As to what’s next, Marais says he hasn’t decided yet. “But each challenge is becoming more dangerous and extreme. So let’s see what the future holds,” he adds.

An e-version of Marais’s autobiography, Determination, is available on Smashwords.com and Amazon.

Inge Palvie van Bothasig, Candice Cloete van Woodstock, Maritza Swart Rodel, Dirlize Lengkeek, albei van Brackenfell en Luke Hans van Muizenberg by die geleentheid onlangs waar bewusmaking geskep is oor alopesie.

Proudly South African!

Capriccio Private School in Milnerton celebrated Heritage Day to embrace the different cultures and unique identities that shape the South African nation. Pictured from left are Isabella Chapman, Thanaah Voterson and Jordyn Chembe.

lopesie, ’n mediese toestand wat tot haarverlies lei, is waarskynlik iets waarvan min mense kennis dra.

Tog is Septembermaand die maand waarin hierdie siekte erken word.

Alopesie is ’n outo-immuunsiekte wat die persoon se immuunstelsel verkeerdelik aanval en die haarfollikels dan laat uitval. ’n Groep lyers het onlangs by die Tyger Falls-waterfront byeengekom om die maand te vier, sowel as om stories te deel, en ’n ondersteuningsgroep te begin.

“Min mense is bewus daarvan en min mense weet eintlik wat die toestand behels,” meen Inge Palvie, ’n lyer. Inge is een van die mense by wie op ’n jong ouderdom alopesie gediagnoseer is.

“Ek is op 26-jarige ouderdom gediagnoseer,” sê Inge.

Die toestand het gevorder tot ’n stadium waar sy alle hare op haar kop, arms, bene en wenkbroue verloor het.

“Dit was ’n baie emosionele tyd toe my hare begin uitval en toe ek gediagnoseer is, veral omdat daar geen definitiewe antwoorde is nie, en daar geen kuur vir die toestand bestaan nie.”

Smile 90.4FM launches news platform

As the dynamic news environment is constantly evolving, Smile 90.4FM has recently launched its brand new news positioning called “News that Cape Town Needs to Know Now”.

With the variety of news platforms available, it has become difficult to distinguish real from fake, relevant from irrelevant and sensational from factual.

Available across all Smile 90.4FM platforms such as the Smile website, App and social media platforms – news that Cape Town needs to know, will give Capetonians greater insight into what is happening in their city and the impact it has on them.

TygerBurger wou vasstel watter ondersteuning beskikbaar is vir mense met dié toestand.

“Ek het maar self ondersteuning gaan soek op sosiale media deur ‘alopecia areata’ in te tik by ondersteuningsgroepe. Ek en Kelly Pearce het ook ons eie een begin op Facebook, genaamd ‘Faces for Alopecia’.

“Ons groepe het mekaar op Facebook gevind en ek het dit goedgedink om ’n byeenkoms te reël sodat ons ons stories kon deel, en meer gereeld só bymekaar kom om mekaar te ondersteun aangesien ons presies weet waardeur almal gaan. Ons het ook mekaar raad gegee en kennis van pruike en pruikprodukte met mekaar gedeel,” sê Inge.

Die geleentheid verlede Saterdag 19 September was die eerste byeenkoms. “Maar ons beplan nog vele meer.”

Inge moedig ander aan wat ook aan die mediese toestand ly om moed te skep.

“My boodskap aan ander alopecia warriors is: Jou hare of gebrek aan hare definieer nie wie jy is nie. Jy is nie alleen nie. Wees sterk en wees net jouself.

“Moenie voel dat dit jou skuld is nie; reik uit na ander lyers vir ondersteuning, want dit is maar moeilik om te aanvaar, en onthou dat jy nie onthou sal word vir die hare op jou kop nie,” sê sy.

Smile 90.4FM news manager, Liesl Smit, said the news landscape can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate which is why the Smile 90.4FM team wants to the provide listeners with news that matters as it happens.

“From breaking and developing stories in the Mother City, to provincial, national and global events that impact Capetonians. Listeners are presented with a plethora of information which can be overwhelming. This is why we have repositioned our news offering to ensure that the information they receive is relevant. Our aim is to provide factual and relevant information,” Smit said.

SLICE OF LIFE

Sibling rivalry a recipe for disaster Sibling rivalry has been around since the second generation of mankind. At least that is what those like myself, who take what is written in the Holy Book as the gospel truth, believe.

The plus side of this kind of feud between families is that those involved strive to become the best version of themselves and make a success of their lives.

Although they would never admit it, mothers secretly encourage the competitive relationships because it builds character.

The problem, however, comes when this rivalry carries on well into the siblings’ adulthood and is no longer cute for the mother to witness.

These are the nightmares that mothers dread wholeheartedly. They dread it because it gets really ugly.

Growing up, I was the youngest of three children. My brother, the middle child was the favourite and my uncle, well his troublesome behaviour always rubbed everyone off the wrong way.

Although he was our uncle, we considered him our brother because there was no huge age gap between him and my brother.

Looking back at those days, I now realise that my once obedient uncle got tired of always having to prove his capabilities.

As for me, I could not care less what the others thought of me. I was too young to compete with teenagers anyway.

While my mother and grandmother tried to call a truce between the two, clearly favouring the middle child, the young me was busy engaging in his daily tolletjie brei activity.

This war between my two older siblings lasted until July last year when my dearest uncle, well in his forties, succumbed to a long illness.

What the rest of my family does not realise though, is that the troublesome oldest sibling never got over the so-called rivalry. To him it was betrayal more than anything, the favour his younger counterpart always had over him.

It killed his confidence, the way he shrunk in the presence of my brother was too obvious to ignore. It was too sad to witness, if you ask me.

One would ask themself who is to blame for this. Did my uncle bring it upon himself or could this have been avoidable from the beginning?

I think the elders are to blame.

Yes their motive for allowing this competitive behaviour was to help the young men build character, but to let it carry on beyond their young adulthood is enough to send the other to an early grave.

To avoid resentment between siblings, parents need to teach their children from an early age to support each other in whatever they do.

Encouraging competition between siblings can only have damaging repercussions that could divide families for many generations.

As the saying goes: “Together we stand, divided we fall.”

Sibling rivalry will make it easier for the enemy to enter into the household and destroy it forever. Once destroyed, picking up the piece will be almost impossible when feelings of resentment, bitterness and anger towards each other are felt.

No matter how cute it might seem, parents need to stop encouraging competitive behaviour between siblings and teach them to always support one another. - Thabang Kuaho

“ ... parents need to teach their children from an early age to support each other in whatever they do.”

South Africans to celebrate Garden Day: On Sunday 11 October, people across the country will celebrate their unique green spaces and gardens in every shape and size. Created by gardening app Candide, Garden Day is a growing movement uniting people in their love for plants and flowers since 2016. Over the past few months, South Africans have turned to their green spaces to find solace and balance. With spring in the air, it offers a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate a season of new beginnings. Pictured is Garden Day grass roots champion, Kaylyn van As, in her veggie garden at her home in Table View.

Wie is vriend, wie is vyand?

Elke dag word statistieke gegee van sterfgevalle van Covid-19 en miljarde rande word bestee om dit hok te slaan.

Maar ek maak die afleiding dat die daaglikse moordsyfer soms meer, soms minder, is as die Covid-19-gevalle en dit wil voorkom of dit eenvoudig aanvaar word.

Gewelddadige misdaad is besig om hand uit te ruk.

Elke dag word babas vermoor en verkrag; vroue word doodgeslaan. Daar is plaasaanvalle, gewelddadige bendegeweld, kinderontvoering en gewapende huisrooftogte. Gewelddadige oproer waarin infrastruktuur beskadig en vernietig word, vind plaas en so gaan die misdaadlys aan.

Jy kan nie eie reg gebruik om jouself te beskerm nie, want die polisie, aldus die Grondwet, is vir ons veiligheid verantwoordelik.

Die polisie is magteloos aangesien die meerderheid van die gemeenskap nie bereid is om betrokke te raak by misdaadbekamping nie, want hulle vertrou nie die polisie nie.

Ek kan dit verstaan, want elke dag lees jy in die media van polisielede wat aangekeer word vir ernstige misdade – hetsy aan diens of van diens, asook lede wat steeds in diens is met opgeskorte vonnisse vir ernstige misdade. Die ergste van alles is dat hierdie misdadigers tot op senior vlak voorkom.

Die minister van polisie, Bheki Cele, was destyds die polisiekommissaris en is onder ’n donker wolk uit die polisie geskors en later weer aangestel as die minister van polisie.

My beskeie mening is dat hy geensins ’n idee het wat van hom verwag word nie behalwe om arrogant te wees en die volk te dreig dat hy hulle sal toesluit vir geringe oortredings soos die oortreding van Covid-19-regulasies.

Wanneer gaan die regering wakker skrik en besef dat die meerderheid van ons polisie onbekwaam is – van voetsoolvlak tot senior bestuur, die minister ingesluit, en dit gaan nie net die volk benadeel nie ... buitelandse toeriste gaan nie hul lewe waag om ons land te besoek nie.

Ek is bevrees dit staan soos ’n paal bo water dat vigilante optrede ons voorland gaan wees.

Waar is ons munisipaliteit en owerhede?

Nêrens in Brackenfell kan jy vandag rondry en die sypaadjies miskyk nie.

Die onkruid staan in sommige strate meer as ’n meter hoog.

Ek het al hoeveel keer Stad Kaapstad gekontak en versoeke gerig op die Stad Kaapstadapplikasie, maar niks het nog gebeur nie.

Op die hoek van Kruis- en Brackenstraat het ’n waterpyp gebars en die munisipaliteit was daar om dit te herstel, maar die sypaadjie is net so gelos. Die grond is nie gelyk gemaak nie.

As jy in Kruisstraat van die verkeersdepartement af ry na die stasie toe, sien jy aan albei kante van die sypaadjie hoe hoog die onkruid staan.

Jakaranda-parkie is vuil en op die terrein aan die oorkant waar die ou Voortrekkersaaltjie staan, is die onkruid net so hoog. Daar slaap ’n man in ’n tent op hierdie terrein en

wetstoepassing doen niks daaraan nie.

Die stasie is vuil en onwettige straatverkopers (straatmense) verkoop hul gesteelde artikels daar.

Kyk hoe lyk die terrein langs KFC in Ruwari.

En as jy al hierdie dinge aanmeld, dan sê die persoon aan die ander kant net hulle sal vir jou ’n SMS stuur.

Wat gaan dít help? Waar is ons wyksraadlede?

Is daar nog bevoegde mense in ons stadsraad?

Wat van reg op privaatheid?

Ek dink dit is uitstekend dat Johan Fritz en Eben Nel die gemeenskap deur middel van hommeltuie gaan help om misdaad te help bekamp.

Uit ’n regsaspek wil ek net graag weet hoe hulle die kwessie oorbrug wat betrekking het op die reg op privaatheid. Met ’n hommeltuig kan jy inzoem op ’n persoon se erf en selfs ook deur vensters kyk.

Rabbits in area a problem We at Langeberg Ridge have a big problem with rabbits.

We have been complaining about rabbits but neighbours are feeding the rabbits arround the park. Currently, we cannot utilise our park or walk our dogs properly. Dogs are going crazy at night when rabbits are about.

We are already scared that our neighbors without dogs will complain.

Where an to whom can we escalated the issue to?

Dienslewering bereik nuwe laagtepunt Die munisipaliteit was nog nooit goed met die bestuur van sy werkers nie.

Ons ken almal die situasie waar werk geskep word in groepe waar twee werk en agt rus.

Onlangs, in vlak 1, het dit egter ’n nuwe laagtepunt bereik.

Ek en sewe ander sit op die stoep van die munisipale kantore vir die een teller om ons te help. Ek is tweede in die ry, maar dit neem 45 minute.

Toe sien ons ’n tipiese voorbeeld van personeelgebruik.

Oorkant ons is ’n munisipale werker besig om die parkeerplek skoon te vee met ’n besem op wiele.

Van die besems is opgetel (vir minder weerstand). Hy het handskoene aan (vir eelte) en is besig met sy selfoon vir oproepe en musiek (multi-tasking).

Vandat ons begin tel het, het hy 25 keer dieselfde 10 x 3m stukkie parkeergebied “gevee”.

Heen-en-weer, heen-en-weer.

Toe ek daar wegry, was hy nog nie klaar nie en dieselfde blare het op dieselfde plek gelê as toe ek gekom het!

Dit was in die oggend en sy skof was seker tot namiddag ... en dan kom môre.

Alles het reg voor belastingbetalers plaasgevind en ons moet daarvoor opdok.

Dis skrikwekkend hoe geld gemors word.

Volgende jaar met die verkiesing moet ons hulle weer ondersteun.

Prioriteitslys 1 tot 4: beter salarisse, meer werkers, hoër tariewe, groter skuld en eers by nommer 27, produktiwiteit!

SOFTBALL: LOCAL SEASON STILL OFF THE CARDS

Waiting for dust to settle NOORE NACERODIEN

T

he 2020/2021 local softball season, run by the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA), will not go ahead.

The softball season usually runs from October to March every year.

The previous season only managed to finish a matter of days before the lockdown was officially implemented.

The pandemic had a major effect on the sport locally, which has five women and three men’s leagues with many youth teams. Nationally, events such as the National Provincial Championships, normally held in March, was also cancelled.

However, the government stance regarding softball as a non-contact sport has baffled players and administrators alike – who have the collective thought, saying, “there’s nothing soft about it”.

The dust will stand thick when players clash at a base. Contact between opposing players is inevitable.

The majority of clubs supported the Cape Town Softball Association’s (CTSA) executive committee in their proposal not to play

the 2020/2021 season.

The CTSA will, however, review the status of the pandemic at the end of November for a possible start in January 2021, albeit a shortened competition season.

The cost to ensure that the playing venues are compliant in terms of regulatory requirements is exorbitant, but CTSA chairperson Hayley Carolus says health and safety is of paramount importance.

“We are responsible and held accountable for their safety and their loved ones at home. It was by no means easy to propose the ‘no play’ (decision). We are all eager to return back to the field of play to continue enjoying this beautiful game we all love so dearly.

“However, this is no normal season we are living in, and we are heading into an uncertain future. We are living in extraordinary times and I hope times that we will never experience in our lifetime again,” she said.

“By moving to alert level 1, we have to be extremely cautious and keep practising social distancing, washing of hands regularly, wearing a mask, as we are now more vulnerable than ever, with limited borders and air-

ports opening up. I would rather want our softball fraternity to be safe, healthy and living than to return to the field of play too soon and be at risk of any danger,” Carolus added.

Nazeem Dulvie, veteran coach of current Super League champions, Westridge Yankees Softball Club, echoed the sentiment, questioning the government’s view that the sport is a non-contact sport.

“Surely the ones who are categorising the code as non-contact has not watched this beautiful game being played at an elite level.

“Pick-off plays on bases are exciting and contact is inevitable. Not to mention those close plays at home plate when players collide as well as ‘run-downs’,” he says.

Dulvie adds that the pandemic has had a major impact on preparations, especially considering the closure of facilities for most of the lockdown period, while limited resources exacerbate the safe return to action.

“Not all players can afford their own equipment, and this has added to the lack of proper preparations. We need to look at the holistic wellbeing of our athletes and the effects possible Covid-19 infections can have

on them physically, emotionally and financially. Even though we might have younger ‘low risk’ athletes competing, these athletes go home where they might live with ‘high-risk individuals’.

“Also considering that our more experienced technical staff are older and at a higher risk than the players. This sport has stood the test of time and will be there way after the Covid-19 pandemic has been surpassed. It is time to take caution and protect our players, technical and their families,” Dulvie says.
