‘Tis the season to keep safeHANRIE BOSCH

CAPE TOWN summers aresynonymous with sun,

mountain hikes, blue flag beach-es, cocktails, traffic jams on theroad to Camps Bay, and an influxof strange accents and languag-es.

However, for City officials andpolice this equates to drunk driv-ing, run-away fires, mountain res-cue operations, alcohol on beaches,drownings, litter and an increase inopportunistic theft as tourists flockto Cape Town.

More than 80 000 visitors are ex-pected to flock to the city centre on4 December to watch the festivelights in Adderley Street beingswitched on.

The biggest summer hotspot isCamps Bay, the busiest of CapeTown’s 73 beaches.

“Alcohol consumption on beach-es, traffic jams and theft out of mo-tor vehicles and on the beaches areour main focus,” says Camps BayPolice spokesperson, ConstableZandile Makeleni.

“Alcohol consumption on beach-es causes serious problems, withbroken glass in the sand, fights andeven drowning,” says Richard Bos-man, Executive Director for Safetyand Security for Cape Town. Hesays that last year the greater cityarea had nine reported drownings.

More than 250 lifeguards will beon duty at various beaches between10:00 and 18:00, along with 284 life-guards at the City’s 36 public swim-ming pools.

More than 1 319 Metro Police,Traffic Services, Law enforcementand Specialised Services will be de-ployed across the city and 120 newpositions in the law enforcementDepartment were filled to deal withthe influx of visitors.

Merle Collins, spokesperson forSouth African National Parks, says

patrols on Table Mountain will beincreased and a base radio has beeninstalled in the Cape Town CentralPolice Operations Control room.This will improve the responsetime to incidents on the mountain.

The dog squad has also grown toeight, with two new dogs joining theteam soon. Visitor safety officersare not allowed to take leave duringthe festive season.

Cape Town Police reservists willassistwithpatrols on themountain,and more officers will work afterhours.

According to Captain Ezra Octo-ber, spokesperson for Cape TownCentral police station, they are in-creasing visibility in the precinctand bracing for the switching on ofthe Christmas lights, the marching

of the Kaapse Klopse, the night mar-kets in Adderley street (starting17 December), parties in LongStreet and New Year’s Eve.

However, they are also concerendabout the exodus of many Capeto-nians. “There is a shift in crimearound this time as many homesare empty and we increase patrolsof the residential areas.”

Traffic Services will conduct freebasic vehicle safety checks at Gal-lows Hill in Green Point, from 10:00to 14:00 each working day until 15December, helping to ensure thesafety of Capetonians on the road.

Sea Point Police spokespersonLieutenant Neil Daniels identifiedBeach Road in Mouille Point as thecrime hotspot of the area, and whilespecial attention will be given to

this area, patrols will be increasedthroughout the precinct.

Runaway fires, started by dis-carded cigarette buds, illegal firesand glass, is anaother seasonal haz-ard. The City’s 826 Fire and RescueServices personnel deal with morethan 8 000 fires every year, most ofwhich occur during summer. Forthat reason 120 seasonal fire fight-ers will be employed on a contractbasis during this period.

The City has budgeted R10,6 mil-lion for cleansing during the festiveseason, with more than 1 290 extracleaning staff.

Refuse removal will continue un-interrupted even on public holi-days, to ensure a clean city and tokeep tourists flocking back nextyear.

Proudly South African signs pledgePROUDLY South African

(Proudly SA), The Manufac-turing Circle, and The NationalUnion of Metalworkers of SouthAfrica (NUMSA) announced thatthey will be collaborating on anumber of areas of common in-terest, chief of which will be thepromotion and development of athriving and competitive SouthAfrican economy.

The CEO of Proudly SA, LeslieSedibe, the Chairman of the Manu-facturing Circle, Stewart Jennings,and NUMSA General Secretary, Ir-vin Jim, signed a pledge outlininga policy of helping to increase de-mand for locally-produced productsand services by stimulating localprocurement.

This pledge also envisages ad-vancing the country’s overall objec-tive of skilled and semi-skilled jobcreation opportunities.

Stewart Jennings says; “Once westarted interacting,wequickly real-ised that many common objectivesexisted.

“For isntance, there is the needfor a competitive currency to un-derpin exports and theneed toboostenterprise development. We need tounderstand the impact of illegal im-ports on the South African econo-my. We need to udnerstand the highcost of doing business as a result ofmunicipal fees, port charges, elec-tricity prices and the increasinglyonerous terms of trade.

“Our common purpose is thedriving force that has enabled us to

move forward with this pledge,which is closely aligned to the re-cently-signed Local ProcurementAccord.”

Sedibe says “The South AfricanGovernment’s Preferential Pro-curement Regulations, recently in-troduced, provides the catalyst forus to combine forces with the com-mon objective of promoting the lo-cal economy so that South Africacan succeed.”

The Preferential ProcurementRegulations coincides with the Lo-cal Procurement Accord in whichthe Government has stated its com-mitment to expand the value ofgoods and services it procures fromSouth African companies. Stand-ards for measurement and verifica-tion of local content will be agreed.

Companies represented by theManufacturing Circle and ProudlySA form the cornerstone of theSouth African economy.

The National Union of Metal-workers of South Africa’s GeneralSecretary, Irvin Jim, stated that,“Organised labour has expressedits commitment that goods andservices used by the union and allaffiliates, will be sourced locally.Consideration has been given to theestablishment of a procurementdesk that unions will use to ensurethe accurate identification of localsuppliers, while auditors will betasked with the verification of se-lected suppliers.”

Pan-African Investment and Re-search Services (PAIRS), whichcompiles the Manufacturing Cir-

cle’s quarterly bulletin, recentlycompleted work on research to bet-ter understand the multiplier bene-fit of creating jobs in South Africaand supporting South African man-ufacturing.

Dr Iraj Abedian, CEO of PAIRS,the Economist and Independent Ad-visor to the Manufacturing Circlesaid, “Our research report hasshown that the manufacturing sec-tor remains a critical source of de-cent and sustainable job creation,with considerable positive multi-plier effects for economic diversifi-cation, fiscal benefits and favoura-ble balance of payments.

“South Africa has to take urgentand meaningful steps to reverse thedecline in the manufacturing sec-tor.”

All in an officer’s day’s workHANRIE BOSCH

A CARD-skimming devicewas uncovered last Sunday,20 November, by Sea PointCity Improvement District(CID) officer, MlulamiMaqhizana.

He found the device in a pet-rol station shop in Main Road,leading to an arrest and savinga few residents the pain of hav-ing their accounts cleaned out.

Card skimming is the meansby which credit card informa-tion from the magnetic strips iscloned with a skimming de-vice, a small square device at-

tached to ATMs or used toswipe cards at restaurants andshops, which then stores the in-formation.

The information is trans-ferred onto a blank card fromwhere transactions can bemade.

Maqhizana has been an offic-er with the CID for the pastthree years.

He was doing his normal pa-trols, when he stopped offquickly to go into the shop.

“When I got to the front thewomanat the counter askedmeto go look at what the man, whohad just left the shop, was do-ing scratching in the choco-

lates. When I looked, I saw asmall square device.”

At that moment an SAPS ve-hicle was parked outside theshop and Maqhizana showedthe scanner to police, just asthe suspect was busy crossingthe road.

“We apprehended him andasked him about the device. Hejust ran out of words and excus-es and was arrested.”

Two men are believed tohave been in the same group asthe 36 year-old suspect, but po-lice could not implicate themwith the card skimming de-vice, and no further arrestswere made.

“Sometimes it is difficult tospot a criminal, as they aredressed nicely and look like an-ybody else, as did the man wearrested. I am very proud thatI have helped to make this ar-rest”

“We have been quite luckyup to now, with the odd inci-dent,” said Heather Tager,chief operations officer at theCID, “but we appeal to peoplenot to accept help from any-body when at an ATM. Alwayskeep your card close and makesure that ATMs are workingbefore inserting your card.And always, if in any doubt,press cancel and move on.”

CAMPS BAY is known theworld over for blue flagbeaches, sunsets and theCape Town summer. How-ever, beneath the glamourCamps Bay has pressing so-cial issues. Homelessnessand petty crime is anotheraspect of life on the CampsBay strip.

In an effort to alleviatethese social ills and rebrandthe area, as a safe and cleanworld class destination yearround, not only for tourists,but locals alike, the newly es-tablished Camps Bay Busi-ness Forum (CBBF) staged acharity gala evening at theBay Hotel last Tuesday toraise money for a dedicatedfield worker and two rent-a-cops, who will be patrollingthe strip and beaches.

In true camps bay style allthe stops where pulled outand at R1000 a head the eventattracted more than 250guests and stars like NatalieBecker, Richard Hardiman,mentalist Larry Soffer, musi-cal performance from Operadiva Sibongile Mngoma, theSkippy Shaked Band featur-ing Abigail Bagley and theImbube Singers, along with acharity auction.

“The final tally still needsto take place, but right nowwe are very optimistic thatwe have raised R20 0000,which will be use to pay forthe social worker and tworent a cops”, said CBBF vicechair, Simon Kneel.

trol the strip and beaches,freeing up police resourcesover the peak season to focuson more pressing issues,whilst the field worker willwork closely with The HavenNight Shelter to assist thehomeless, instead of just re-moving them with no real un-derstanding of the deeperproblems and issues theyface. Schafer commends theactions of the Camps Baybusinesses in taking a proac-tive stance and getting in-volved in the upliftment oftheir area.“My job is notabout micro managing, it isabout encouraging citizens tobe proactive and take backtheir communities”, Schafersaid, hoping that more com-munities follow suite.Plansare also on the table to up-grade the beach front area,and Schafer estimates theproject to cost between R5-R8million, saying that the newCBBF will help to raise fundswere there is a shortfall fromcity funding. Kneel adds thateven though Camps Bay is atourist hotspot in summer,winter months are slow, andin order to attract more localvisitors in the quiet seasons,the CBBF is trying to rebrandthe area and make a true yearround desintation.

“Camps Bay is coming to-gether and realising the pow-er of community involmnet”,adds Kneel, saying that theCamps Bay Charity Galaevening is set to become ayearly institution that willhelp to raise funds for muchneeded projects.

Kneel has been a residentand business owner in the ar-ea for the past 10 years and ad-mits to being distressed whenseeing vagrants, especiallychildren, sleeping on thestreets in the affluent CampsBay area and not knowinghow to help.

“It is human nature to wantto give and help, especiallyfor overseas tourist. Throughhaving a dedicated fieldworker we will also be creat-ing awareness and have plansto create a campaign to edu-cate residents and visitors tonot give to the homeless, butrather give to shelters, as giv-ing handouts juts aggravatesthe issue. Beggars come to therestaurants and ask for mon-ey and it is just an uncomfort-able situation for every-one.”Vagrancy is an issue inthe area”, confirms Council-lor Beverley Schafer, “Weneed a field worker as we can-not just manage it from a po-lice aspect. They (police) willremove them today and to-morrow they are back.” But afield worker will get to theroot of the issue and help peo-ple get off the streets and helpthem to reconnect with fami-ly and give them opportuni-ties to help themselves.”

The field worker and twotop up officer have alreadystarted doing their rounds, intime for the busy summer sea-son, when not just touristsflock to the area, but also va-grants looking for money andhandouts.

Burn up the stageHANRIE BOSCH

“IT means a lot for a 59-year-old man toget back into music and have the chanceto perform. With a family and all thatjazz, there was no time for music, but nowI am getting back into it and playing ona stage. Its great!”

Paul Prins was the opening act on Tuesdayevening, and he is still clearly in awe of get-ting back in touch with his music.

After circumstances left him bed-riddenfor eight weeks with nothing but a guitar, hefound his passion, and has now been playinghis own compsitions at Trinity almost everyTuesday for the past two months.

His bluesy style echoes through the down-stairs area to an appreciative crowd. TheSunset Fireflies Cape Songwriters open micjam sessions started six months ago and hasgiven budding artists, and those getting backin touch with a long lost love, the chance toshowcase their original songs, with the occa-sional cover thrown in for flavour.

Situated in the five-storey Trinity club inBennett Street, Green Point, artists fromacross the Cape flock to the venue on Tues-day nights to show what they are capable of.

Event organiser and singer-songwriter,Peter John Blackwell started the sessions togive budding artists a “consistent platformto perform on a high class sound system andto give them exposure in the limelight.”

Of course, you have to be good to grace thestages of Trinity, and Blackwell personallylistens to demo tapes and decides who hitsthe right notes.

“Over 120 acts have performed, and I helpto promote those acts that I really like, usingmy years in the music industry to help up-coming artists,” says Blackwell. Old, young,pop rock, jazz, funk, blues and anything inbetween is welcome and audiences neverquite know what to expect. This makes forinteresting and eclectic evenings of four toeight artists.

Anybody who would like to perform cancontact Blackwell on 082 2567 656 or headdown to Trinity to see what it is all about.

MyCiTi introduces newsmartcard fare systemCOMMUTING has just been made easi-er with the introduction of the mycon-nect smartcard for the MyCiTi publictransport system. Paper tickets willcontinue to be sold for two months tocreate an overlap period during thetransition phase from a paper-basedsystem to a smartcard system.

As the myconnect card is rolled out overthe next year, customers will benefit froma range of “transit products” that makeprovision for monthly and weekly users,as well as discounts for specific users suchas learners and pensioners.

Myconnect cards are available at the Ta-ble View and Civic Centre station kiosks.

The process of converting MyCiTi froma cash and paper-based system to an elec-tronic, cashless fare system will be com-pleted by the end of January 2012.

Loading value on your myconnect cardis as easy as topping up your cellphone air-

time or pre-paid electricity.Passengers can participate in a trial pe-

riod for the myconnect card till Friday 9December.

It would be advisable to get a myconnectcard before the paper tickets are complete-ly phased out, to avoid queues. When theswitchover from paper tickets happensyou’ll have an easier ride, when all passen-gers on a MyCiTi bus will have to have amyconnect card.

There is a issuing fee of R20 for eachcard.

The myconnect card is a bank card is-sued by ABSA and bank fees will becharged.

However, there are no additional feecharged when the card is used to pay forfares on the MyCiTi system.

Aim for zeroAS the world commemorates World Aids Dayon 1 December, South Africa sets itself a newtarget to attain a zero rate of new infections.

SA is said to have the fastest growing HIVinfection rate in the world, with 1800 peoplebecoming infected every day.

However, in the next few decades we couldsee a turn-around, provided we adopt theright collective approach.

A zero-new-infection rate was the interna-tional challenge posed by the United Nations.

At the core is an education drive that tar-gets the most most vulnerable.

South Africa has come a long way in fight-ing the Aids pandemic.

While there is still rampant stigma and dis-crimination against those battling the dis-ease, South Africans now enjoy free Anti Ret-roviral Treatment at many primary healthcare facilities.

In September, Social Development Minis-ter Bathabile Dlamini stressed the impor-tance of zero deaths, zero discrimination andzero new infections as a platform to deter-mine our policies in fighting the pandemic.

But, in truth, it is not just the government’sfight, but the responsibility of each of us.

To ensure victory over HIV/Aids, it is vitalthat the ignorance, fear and prejudice againstthose who fight the virus be eradicated.

Only then will treatment campaigns andpreventative strategies be best implementedto yield tangible results.

Success in the future relies on early educa-tion campaigns.

HIV/Aids prevention should be a mandato-ry cornerstone of high school education, sothat the future adult population can entertheir adult lives knowing the risks and the re-alities of living with the disease.

Parents and community leaders have equalroles to play.

The battle is far from won, but we are mak-ing positive steps in the right direction.

This World Aids Day, acknowledge that vic-tory is up to each of us.

Carthorse killers are monstersI HOPE the barbarians who inflicted thatabuse and agony on their carthorse die anagonizing, slow death one day and that theyhave a miserable life until then. That articleupset me to the point of not being able tosleep at night. (“Mr Lonely driven to death,”People’s Post, 22 November 2011)

It is obvious what their intention was, todrive the poor animal to a state of sheer ex-haustion so that it would not be able to resistthem castrating it, although your articledoes not state this.

They did not want to pay a vet to do theoperation under general anaesthetic as pernormal, or to bother contacting a welfare or-ganization for financial help.

A stallion is a dangerous animal to con-fine, unless you have the proper expertiseand facilities. Yet the owner could pay R3 000

bail to avoid jail?After their botched attempt to castrate the

poor wretched animal, it was simply left todie in agony. Are these people classified ashuman beings?

No, they fall under the “monster” catego-ry, along with rapists, child-molesters, mur-derers, satanists and such.

Why don’t carthorse owners simply buyan old car?

A horse doesn't cost five cents to “run” andit is abeautiful, sensitive andnoble creature.These people always have contacts to repaircars, and retread tyres – why do they needto subject horses to reckless drivers, blister-ing long hot summers, and improper care?I wish the worst death for the evil sadistswho tortured “Mr Lonely.”OUTRAGED ANIMAL-LOVER

Idols winner hits the right notesI WAS saw the stage show This is my Life star-ring SA Idols winner, Karin Kortje, supportedby the multi-talented Louqmaan Adams, atthe Baxter Theatre. A visibly leaner Karin hascome of age in her rendition of a candid andheart-wrenching account of her humble jour-ney from the rural town of Grabouw.

She gives an honest account of her tumultu-ous and stormy relationship with ex-boy-friend, convicted killer Cheslyn Williams,while belting out a repertoire of songs in thegenre of Tina Turner. With multiple costumechanges and hairstyles to match, Kortje sailsthrough each song with ease and high-energygusto, demanding several standing ovations,

culminating in Shirley Bassey’s This is my Life.Kortje has great stage presence and vocal

prowess to match. She was backed by a slick9-piece band, the Elginaires. Speaking in hermother tongue, Afrikaans, tells the story ofher musical career, starting from the age of8 at the local Grabouw church, to the tribula-tions that nearly doomed her singing career.She has ‘come clean’ and director, Basil Appo-lis must be applauded. Producer Alistair Izo-bell is to be complimented for his latest offer-ing This is my Life a must-see by all Cape Townmusical theatre lovers – and bring along extratissuesMARK KLEINSCHMIDT

YourSMSesThe end of Mr Lonely

. A heartbreaking storyof a poor carthorse’s suffer-ing. The owner deserves tobe tortured.

. Pity the idiot witnessdid not alert the CHPA im-mediately, but why mustyou care? Moron. Hagy

. I don’t usually advo-cate violence, but in thecase of Mr Lonely I couldquitehappilyharness thosethree men to the cart anddrive them to death. I couldquite happily match everywelt on that poor horse’sbody with a matching oneon theirs. RIP Mr Lonely.

. The bastards whoabused Mr Lonely in thatmanner should be treated

in the same manner and leftto die as he did. May theyrot in hell! HH

. Reading the shockingtale of Mr Lonely made meponder on the utter crueltyof man. Animals give totallove and obedience, askingfor very little in return.

Just a thought. In response to the SMS

about the length ofCrimeStop numbers, rath-er install the PanicGuardapp and you only have toshake your phone to sendan SMS, location and video.

. The London Times re-ports that South Africa isthe only country in theworld where affirmative

action is to favour of themajority.

. To the folk who gripeevery week about compa-nies: get real and contactthem directly. I doubt thatthey take notice of yourSMS in the paper.

. Message to MinisterCwele: You can recogniseforeign spies because theywear socks with sandals!

. One day of stupid, dan-gerous fun is causing us alifetime of heartache. Ourdog ran away on GuyFawkes. Although she waskept safely in the yard withthe two others, she ranaway. Its been almost amonth now. Yes, your funlasted for a few hours.

As I opened my eyes, I lookedAS I opened my curtain, Ilooked to the sky.

I looked at the people andhow life passed them by.

Caught up in their ownworld, not seeing their

brother’s struggle northeir pain.

The corner of eye caught aman’s down-turned smile.

His eyes flooded with tearsas he presses

through his Green mile.As I opened my curtain, I

looked to the sky,

I saw a world empty anddry.

The laughter and smiles ofthe kids have

disappeared, it all passedaway.

People got robbed of theirdignity and pride.

I see the pain and strugglein their eyes, they

no longer need to hide.As I opened my eyes I

looked in my life,I saw a child that once was

happy, never sad.

A little girl that ran withopen arms, embracing herdad.

The laughter and smiles ofthat little girl has

disappeared, it all passedaway,

As she sees her reflectionin the mirror,

hair pinned up, shouldersbroad,

she prepares herself foranother lifeless day.MEGAN SAMPSONEastridge

The Phantom strikes againThe Phantom strikes againTAMMY PETERSEN

AS a child he dreamt of becom-ing a lawyer, but today the spot-light marks his place in theworld – and it is not a courtroom. Kurt Haupt of Ronde-bosch has 10 years of acting ex-perience under his belt andplans to stay at centre stage foryears to come.

The 35-year-old can be seen inBroadway’s longest running musi-cal, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ThePhantom of the Opera, which openedat the Artscape last Tuesday.

The story tells of a disfiguredmusical genius, known only asThe Phantom, who haunts thedepths of the Paris Opera House.Mesmerised by the talents andbeauty of a young soprano, Chris-tine, the Phantom makes her hisprotégé and falls fiercely in lovewith her.

Unaware of Christine’s love forRaoul, The Phantom’s obsessionsets the scene for a dramatic turn

of events where jealousy, madnessand passion collide.

Haupt plays Monsieur Reyer,the Opera’s chief répétiteur, or di-rector, whom he describes asbossy, single-minded and “justlike me.”

He trained at the University ofCape Town and stumbled onto thestage by chance.

“After my initial dream of be-coming a lawyer, I decided on mu-sic,” he says. “I taught myself toplay the piano, an instrumentabout which I am extremely pas-sionate.”

Then the acting bug bit. Hauptcompleted art studies and steppedout from behind the curtain.

“My first role was as Tony inWest Side Story and I enjoyed everyminute of it. But I also had my fairshare of roles as a tree in the back-ground.”

Since then, Kurt has appearedon stage in London and Singaporein Carmen, Chicago and the RockyHorror Picture Show.

But the thespian is in his ele-

ment in the current production,describing the experience as “ex-hilarating and lekker.”

“The opening night didn’t go asplanned as the paint on the scen-ery hadn’t dried by the time wehad to start. Wet paint would havedamaged costumes, among otherthings.However, the showmust goon and we gave a ‘concert version’and all was well again,” he says,adding that night two went “muchbetter.”

“This is an extravaganza thatshouldn’t be missed. I hope that asmany people as possible get to seeit.”

It is an artistic feast of jaw-drop-ping scenery, exquisite costumesand breathtaking special effects.

The season ends on 15 January2012. Tickets cost from R125 viaComputicket or (021) 421 7695.

Help thousands of sick kids with one clickTHE Children’s Hospital Trust haslaunched a Hero Campaign on Facebookthat will do more than just benefit the RedCross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.Finally anyone can be a Superhero.

The campaign is based on the premisethat the more people who know about agreat cause, the more funds an organisa-tion could receive.

The Children’s Hospital Trust made itscampaign public on Wednesday 16 Novem-ber. The goal is to increase fans on their Fa-cebook Fan Page to at least 15 000 (another2 700 to go).

The Trust’s current priority project is toraise R13 million to upgrade and equip thesecond phase of the General Medical Wardsat the Hospital. These wards treat the Hos-pital’s youngest and sickest patients, mostof whom have infectious diseases. Thesewards have not been upgraded since theHospital was built in 1956 and it has become

critical to modernise and improve thewards and equipment.

The Trust is appealing to the public to‘Like’ the Children’s Hospital Trust’s FanPage and receive their own Superheroname, and then share it with all their Face-book friends. Children’s Hospital Trust Fa-cebook fans will be first in line to receivenews on patients, life-changing surgicalprocedures and special celebrity visits.Fans will also receive advice on how to sup-port the Children’s Hospital Trust and up-dates on projects in and around the hospi-tal, specific healthcare projects beyond thehospitals’ doors that will affect paediatrichealthcare throughout the Western Cape.

Long exposure highlights mysterySANGOMAS, the traditional healers ofSouth Africa, feature in Peter Frank’s exhi-bition of large scale, powerful portraits.

The status of these commanding individu-als has endured for centuries and they arestill very influential.

Frank visited the Sangomas in their sim-ple township huts around Cape Town, photo-graphing them in the small, basic roomswhere they live and practice.

Frank used a single lamp to model the San-gomas facial features and sacred robes, andan exposure of 8 to 10 seconds, which is a longtime for someone to sit still.

With this simple technique, he drew lightaccents out of the darkness, channelling ex-pressions and highlighting the mystical auraof his subjects and capturing their powerfulpresence.

Frank pays tribute to some renowned Afri-can photographers such as Zwelethu Mtheth-wa, who has portrayed black Africans in aneveryday environment, grand and proud.Like Mthethwa, Frank consciously uses col-

our photography to distance himself fromthe black and white images in documentaryand press photography.

His portraits depict aspects of African lifethat are timeless and powerful.

In Frank’s commanding portraits somehealers appear awe-inspiring, some appearto be in a trance. Each tells a story of extraor-dinary people and provides a rare glimpse in-to the sometimes unfathomable mysteries ofa fascinating culture.The Sangoma exhibi-tion is on at “beautifuLL life” - new home toYoungblood Arts and Culture Developmentat 70-72 Bree Street, Cape Town from 30 No-vember to 14 December as a housewarmingevent of this new venue. Thirty per cent ofproceeds from the Sangoma exhibition go to-wards Youngblood Arts and Culture Devel-opment, supporting African arts projectsand initiatives.Sangomas treat illnessthrough ritual ceremonies involving dance,prayer and meditation, as well as the use ofmuti traditional herbal medicines with spirit-ual significance.

THE first Oxford-Cambridgeboat race in Africa took placeon Saturday at the V&A Water-front, with Cambridge takingfirst place.

South African publishers Ox-ford University Press (OUP) andCambridge University Press(CUP), traditional rivals in educa-tional publishing, decided to or-ganise a local boat race in aid ofa good cause. Several dignitariesfrom education in the WesternCape also participated.

The publishing houses went

head to head in Dragon boats in-stead of the traditional racingboats used in the university rac-es.

Each boat was manned by 18staff members building not onlyteam spirit, but raising funds forShine Centre, a non-profit organi-sation that provides support inliteracy and language enrich-ment to children.

Colleen McCallum, managingdirector of Cambridge, said: “Mystaff just loves the opportunity tocompete against the ‘Other Uni-versity Press’ in this way, which

makes a change from competingin the market.

“What better way to help raisemuch-needed funds to supplyreaders to Shine.”

Lieze Kotze, managing directorof OUP, said her team plans toraise a hundred thousand randfor the Shine Centre.

An SMS line has been createdand all proceeds will go to theShine Centre. To donate, SMS theword Shine to 38270. SMS linesopen until Friday 16 December.Free SMSes do not qualify. Termsand conditions apply.

Cape Town mayor backsnational softball teamLYNN PRINS

WITH just a week to go be-fore the first pitch in the

Junior Women’s World Series atTurfhall Stadium in Athlone,People’s Post chatted with theMayor, who had a message forthe South African national team:“I am very proud of the achieve-ments of the ladies in our nation-al team, I know they will be goodhosts and will do our City proud.The ladies will represent the bestof what young people can be, andmake the right choices.”

She also said that hosting the JW-WC is an opportunity to give soft-ball more exposure and to intro-duce young Capetonians to thesport. “Cape Town’s youth oftenface negative influences. Upgrad-ing and maintaining sports facili-ties is one way in which we, as a car-ing city, provide alternative spaceswhere they can thrive,” she said.

People’s Post also caught up withGrant Pascoe, Executive MayoralCommittee Member for Tourism,Events and Marketing. When askedwhat it would mean for the City, hesaid: “Tourism plays a major role inthe economic growth of the City,and Cape Town is no doubt the tour-ist Mecca of South Africa. Eventslike these are major contributingfactors.”

Pascoe will attend most of thegames and praised the softball re-porting in People’s Post. “It is im-portant that the smaller sportscodes, like softball, get the mediacoverage it deserves. These codesdo not enjoy the benefits of corpo-rate sponsorship and require thekind of exposure you are affordingsoftball. Your initiative to partnersoftball in this World event will notgo unnoticed and will give other,smaller codes the confidence to hostnational and international events.”

People’s Post Editor, Feroza Mill-er-Isaacs, commented on the factthat the paper will be on the same

platform as the foreign press, likeit was during the 2010 Soccer WorldCup. She said: “The role of commu-nity newspapers in public dis-course cannotbeunderestimated. Itis important that both free sheetsand dailies provide premium cover-age of the JWWC,” she said.

“People’s Post is privileged andproud to partner a sporting event ofthis magnitude and importance.Sport, as a positive alternative foryoung people, plays a more promi-

nant role in today’s challengingtimes. With the temptations of sub-stance abuse as an outlet, sport of-fers a choice. We therefore fullysupport and applaud the efforts ofall role players to bring this prestig-ious event to fruition,” said Miller-Isaacs.

The JWWC starts on Wednesday7 December and ends on Saturday17 December. Tickets cost R20 perday and can be bought online atComputicket.
