BANTRY BAY

Cameras on for carsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The first licence plate recognition (LPR)cameras for Bantry Bay have been in-stalled and are expected to be used

within the next fortnight.The cameras record the licence plates of

vehicles travelling through the area, imme-diately alerting law enforcement agenciesshould a vehicle linked to criminal activitybe identified.The cameras have been installed in sever-

al neighbouring suburbs and act as an addi-tion to the existing systemofCCTVcameras.

TheLPRcameras,whicharemonitoredbythe SeaPoint ImprovementDistrict, providea means to spot crime in real time and toidentify the perpetrators and their vehicles.The cameras are able to zoom in on the ve-

hicle,making details on the car and the facesof the driver and passenger visible.The system, already serving Camps Bay,

Devil’s Peak, Tamboerskloof and Constan-tia, also allow crime-fighting organisationsto track syndicates and attacks on ATMs,home break-ins, bank robberies and break-ins at businesses.Vehicles can be tracked through the net-

work and the perpetrators can be arrested

when entering another area with LPR cam-eras. The cameras will monitor another en-try point to Green Point and Sea Point, ex-plains project coordinator Jacques Weber.“We have also installed another camera

within the Green Point area to assist ourcurrent installation within that area,” hesays.The installation was made possible by an

allocation from the ward allocation andfunding from the Sea Point ImprovementDistrict.“There have beenmultiple arrests for var-

ious crimes executed directly due to the LPRcamera project. The system has allowed us

to tackle crime within our area and ulti-mately make the area safer for everyone,”Weber says.There are currently 26 LPR and overview

cameras running, making the project ahair’s breadth away from the initial target,says Weber. However, the project has nowexpanded.“When we started the project we wanted

to install 27 in total to close off the entire ar-ea. However, as the project has evolved wehave addednew spots onto the list due to cer-tain crime patterns or issues within that ar-ea. We will require a further 16 cameras toclose off the entire area at this stage.”

Billy Schlosz (67) and Roger Berry (68)from Neighbourhood Old Age Homes(Noah) in Woodstock made the bestbrown bread in a competition againstother Noah members. They won thecompetition with their nutty wheat andhoney loaf (Schlosz’s mother’s recipe) atthe launch of a new Noah project. Theywill bake and sell the bread to thecommunity to make some money forthemselves and to help the homes.Read story on page 4. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

Oil aboard for African tripNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In the two years since comedianMark Sam-pson left Cape Town to drive around Afri-

ca, he and his family have travelled16 000km, crossed a dozen countries andtheir truck has broken down 10 times.

Now, as the family waits for the Ebola out-break to pass, they can’t wait to get out onthe road again.

Mark and his wife Sam Pearce bundledtheir children into their Big Green Truck,which runs on waste vegetable oil, in July2013 to drive clockwise around the continentin an attempt to break the Guinness WorldRecord for the longest journey made on al-ternative fuel.

And why vegetable oil? Because it’s free,Sam says.

“We couldn’t afford to drive aroundAfricaon diesel. But also the main purpose of thetrek is to draw attention to climate changeand how it’s affecting the continent, andshow people that we can all get creative tocombat it,” she says.

They ask for donations of dirty cooking oilfrom hotels and restaurants in big citiesalong the way and then filter this oil.

Former Covent Garden busker Mark hasentertained at high schools and South Afri-can embassies along theway,while perform-ing impromptu magic shows with his chil-dren in villages where they’ve stayed and athundreds of police roadblocks.

And they have never paid a bribe, Samsays.

The Sampsons have been forced to sus-pend their trek temporarily due to travel re-strictions around the Ebola pandemic, butthey intend returning to Liberia in October.

Markwas inspired to take to the road after

his father suffered a stroke, Sam says.“Mark’s dad always wanted to sail the At-

lantic, and he spent 10 years building anocean-going boat, but sadly had a stroke be-fore he could fulfil his dream.Wewere deter-

mined to travel with our family while wewere still fit enough to make the most of it,”she says.

And the familyhas definitely beenmakingthe most of it.

“We’ve enjoyed extraordinarily warm Af-ricanhospitalitywhereverwe’ve been, fabu-lous surf and palm-fringed perfection atbeaches all along theWest Coast, andChrist-mas at the continent’s most spectacularstreet party, the Calabar Carnival in Niger-ia,” Sam says.

But the Liberian roads haven’t been theonly bumps along the route.

“We’ve survived a flying solar panel inNamibia, a wheel coming loose in Angola,anAK47-wielding bandit in the DRC, gettingstuck on the ferry across the Congo, beingbitten by scores of jungle bugs in Gabon,having to drive through waist-high mud inCameroon, a scorpion bite in Togo and ma-laria plus typhoid in Cote d’Ivoire. Oh, andwe nearly tipped the truck over,” says Sam.

The trip has only brought the family clos-er, Sam says.

“We have become more adaptable andlearnednot to sweat the small stuff.We enjoyliving with far lower levels of daily stress.We can also survive two weeks with only500F of water – we’ve all learned how toshower fast!”

Leaving their home in Noordhoek, thefamily thought they’d miss their house, so-fas and TV, says Sam.

“We’ve been spoilt by so many stunningbeaches;wehaven’tmissed the SouthPenin-sula likewe thoughtwewould.We onlymissfamily and friends. Who misses deadlines,rush hour and homework?”V Mark Sampson will be hosting an informal Q&A ses­sion while in the South Peninsula. He’ll be at OctopusGarden in St James on Saturday, Café Roux in Noord­hoek on Saturday 29 August and at Upstairs at theMeeting Place in Simon’s Town on Friday 4 September.Entry is R100 to R110.

the numbers of surfers riding the samewave in recent years overseas, the recordstill stands at 110 set in the gentle rollingwaves atMuizenberg during the 2009 Earth-wave beach festival.

The surf will be alive with the hundredsof participants in the Western Cape Devel-opment Surfing Championships, stand-uppaddling races and free surfing lessonswhile the beach will be the venue for touchrugby, demonstrations of the latest wave-riding equipment and the popular diggingcompetition inwhich youngsters search forvaluable prizes buried in the sand.V For more information email the organisers at ka­hunasurf@mweb.co.za.

A plan to establish a special ratings area(SRA) in Lower Gardens may be de-

layed for another year, as the deadline forapplication looms.The establishment of an SRA allows for

area improvement through increasedrates, which will provide top-up servicessuch as cleaning and security.There is a strict establishment process,

says mayoral committee member for fi-nance Ian Neilson.“The City of Cape Town does not itself

drive the establishment of SRAs, as it is theprerogative of any community and proper-ty owners to initiate this.Applications are submitted once the cri-

teria are met and, if successful, the SRAcommences service delivery from 1 July ofthe relevant year,” he says.The process can take up to two years be-

fore applications are submitted, Neilsonsays.“This is an ongoing process and runs

over more than one financial year but ap-plicationsmust be submitted by 30 Septem-ber to commence 1 July of the followingyear.”

Brandon Golding, who is heading up theestablishment of the Lower Gardens SRA,says the process to create an applicationhas been moving slowly.Heattributes this to a lackof fundingand

time, as he and the steering committee arevolunteers.A business case study is being complet-

ed. It will need to go out to residents fortheir comments. Following this, the draftbusiness plan can be finalised and a publicmeeting held. This will be followed by vot-ing, Golding explains.If voted in by the majority of residents,

the applicationwill then be sent to the City

of Cape Town.After submitting an application, the

process provides for an objection period assome property owners may not want anSRA, because once established, it becomesmandatory for all the eligible properties tocontribute towards the SRA budget, Neil-son explains.There are currently 33 SRAs in Cape

Town.“No new applications have been submit-

ted for the next financial year, but we areaware that there are two communities pur-suing establishment, who have to submitapplications by 30 September,” he says.

Deadline for area too close to catch?

The price of healthy food is rising and it’sthosemost in need of a nutritiousmeal whohave to tighten their belts.The Bureau for Food and Agricultural

Policy recently released a report, Agricul-tural outlook, which found that a healthyfood basket – a selection of food represent-ing daily nutritional recommendations andfood purchasing patterns – has only in-creased in cost since 2008.For a family of four the most affordable

healthy eating plan increased by 63% overthis period, to now cost over R3000 amonth.Dr Jane Battersby-Lennard, research co-

ordinator of the consuming urban povertyproject at UCT’s African Centre for Cities,found that in three low-income areas ofCape Town 80% of households were “foodinsecure”.

“Households make a series of choices.First theywill buy cheaper versions ofwhatthey already eat, if they are not eating themost basic to start with. They will then re-duce the dietary diversity and switch tobuying foods that are calorie dense and willfill you up, reduce meal sizes, reduce thenumber of meals, allocate food in house-holds to those deemed most important, andultimately go without,” she says.“Households are contesting with a set of

other price increases at the same time, withelectricity and transport being themost im-portant ones. Often these costs can’t beavoided and so households will sacrificefood and nutrition in order to meet theseneeds.”From 2011 to April this year, the cost of

the healthy eating plan increased by 36%,a faster rate than general inflation, the re-port found.The Bureau found during research, pub-

lished in 2012, that for a household to con-sume a “balanced daily food plate” of food,it would have to have an income of aboutR5630 monthly.But according to the census in 2011, Bat-

tersby-Lennard says, a high proportion ofhouseholds do not make that much money.“This places a very high proportion of

metropolitan households in a position ofvulnerability.“Upper income household are also affect-

ed. We have been told, for example, thatWoolworths has noticed that their meatsales profile has shifted to less redmeat andmore chicken. We are all being hit by foodprices.“Weneed to be askingwhy food prices are

beyond the reach of most South Africans toeat healthily. Things like supporting house-hold and community food gardening havetheir place, but let’s try and think a littlebit broader,” she says.

Healthy food only goes up and up

Never too old tobake tasty breadTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Many times pensioners are expected totake their feet off the accelerator and

enjoy what they have worked for.However, not all of them are so lucky to

be resting on money that they worked forover the years – they have to rely on statesocial grants which do not cover all theirneeds.

To make sure that the elderly have theirown money in their pockets and they don’tsit and do nothing, Neighbourhood Old AgeHomes (Noah) officially launched its “Noahloaves” project on Friday morning.

This project, sponsored by the AckermanPick n Pay Foundation, gives Noah mem-bers in Woodstock and Khayelitsha the op-portunity to bake bread for sale to theircommunities as well as for their own use.

Proceeds from the sale of the bread willgo to the individual bakers with a 30% con-tribution to the two Noah centres.

At the launch 13 bakers competed againsteach other in three categories: White breadwith raising agent, brown bread and whitebread. The winning bread recipes will beused by all bakers in the project.

One of the judges, Jana van Sittert, saidthe loaves made for the competition weredelicious in different ways.

“They all put amazing effort in and it

wasn’t easy for us to judge. However, therewere three things that we were looking for:The crust, taste and the texture of the bread.We had to make sure that the bread wascrusty enough, we tasted the flavour of thebread and whether it was of good texture,not overbaked or underbaked.”

Mom’s recipeBilly Schlosz (67) and Roger Berry (68),

both Noah Woodstock residents, werecrowned the winners of the brown breadcategory. They knew their nutty wheat andhoney loaf was the winning one, they said.

“This is my mother’s recipe,” saidSchlosz. “We are excited. We were upagainst the experts. I haven’t made thisbread in 25 years but I had no doubt it isthe winning one. We are happy about thewhole thing and it was a team effort so wedid all that had to be done.”

Another competitor,BeautyHlomendlini(65) from Noah Khayelitsha, said it was anexciting project.

“It’s so true that someone learns untilthey die. As old as I am I’m still learningand I’m so happy. We are very grateful forthis opportunity, it will also help our fami-lies. This is such a life-changing opportuni-ty and it camewhenwe never thought,” shesaid.

Food securityThe Noah organisation has supported

state pensioners for over 34 years by ena-bling them to live happy and socially andfinancially contributing lives. To improvethe organisation’s sustainability and to en-able its clinic members, club members andresidents to make extra income, Noah hasembarked on a number of social enterpriseinitiatives.

Leonora Sauls, head of the AckermanPick n Pay Foundation, said it supportedsuch initiatives as it promoted sustainabili-ty and food security.

“We are glad that such projects addressthe shortages of jobs and food and we reallytry and help out so that people will go backto trying to feed themselves and producefood for the communities,” she said.

BO-KAAP

Homeless in hotwater – thankfullyNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

It’s hot showers for street people at the bathhouse again, after two new geysers were

installed.In just one month, the number of users

has increased from 77 to 99. The showershave been used over 2500 times.

The Bo-Kaap public ablution facility sawstreet people forced to shower in coldwater,even in winter (“Bath house bickering”,People’s Post, 5 June 2014).

Belinda Walker, mayoral committeemember for community services and spe-cial projects, says: “The use of solar panelsis being investigated for public facilitiesacross the city.The first priority in this casewas to restore hot water, which has beenachieved and enjoyed by all. As it is themid-dle of winter and the geyser in themale sec-tion of the bath house had stoppedworking,a decision was made to restore hot water assoon as possible.”

The two new geysers were installed at acost of R16 000, Walker confirms.

Straatwerk, a non-profit organisationwhich provides jobs for street people, runs

the facility for the City of Cape Town.Straatwerk project manager Hannes van

der Merwe says the agreement allowsStraatwerk to use the building for officeswhile running the bath house. TheCity sup-plies cleaning materials for the street peo-ple while Straatwerk carries out day-to-daymaintenance.

Since the installation of the geysers, thebath house has seen an increase in users,Van der Merwe says.

“It’s made a marked difference,” he says.“We’ve also had City officials carry out sitevisits to audit what other maintenance isneeded and we hope that will be carried outby the end of the month.”

Other facilities available at this bathhouse include wash troughs to do laundryand clothes lines. Soap and towels are pro-vided for personal use.

There are similar facilities available inthe city centre at the Carpenter’s Shop inRoelandStreet and at theLongStreetBaths.

There are no immediate plans to increasethe number of public ablution facilities, butrather to improve the current facilities un-der the City’s care, Walker previously toldPeople’s Post.

PEOPLE'S POST | ATLANTIC SEABOARD | CITY EDITIONTuesday, 18 August 2015 SPORT 7

Established as the highest pro-file road running race on thecontinent, the Sanlam Cape

TownMarathon aims to impact theeconomy this year by again boost-ing various sectors in the localcommunity.The 42km race was relaunched

last yearwith a newheadline spon-sor and a vision of making a valua-ble contribution as a world-classsports event.Achieving immediatesuccess, the race was recognisedby global governing body the Inter-national Association of AthleticsFederations (IAAF).Having set a goal of being includ-

ed among the world’s most prestig-ious road races, this year’s eventwas recently awarded silver statusby the IAAF, the only marathon inAfrica to achieve this status.“Our goal now is to achieve

IAAF gold status,” says Janet Wel-ham, race director for the CapeTown Marathon.“Ultimately, we want to be con-

sidered among the best 42km racesin the world. This event is morethan just a road race; we want tobe able to leverage off it in orderto meaningfully promote andchange, to contribute towards theeconomy and make an impact onsociety. We have taken giant stri-des, it is only our second year andwe can already see how much dif-ference it has made.”The marathon’s executive com-

mittee hopes to offer as much of acontribution to the Western Capeacross various sectors as othermarathon and ultra-marathon ra-ces around the country haveachieved.Races that have created a model

with this approach, boasting en-tries of between 5 000 and 23 000runners, include:. Soweto Marathon. Gauteng Marathon

. Durban City Marathon

. Comrades Marathon

. Loskop Marathon

. Om die Dam MarathonIn the Western Cape, existing

events in a number of differentsports have also established them-selves as world-class festivals:. Cape Epic mountain bike stagerace (1 200 participants). Cape Town Cycle Tour (35 000participants). Two Oceans Marathon (28 000participants)The success of these events,

which all have entry limits for lo-gistical and safety reasons, hingeson attracting local and foreign in-terest. This, in turn, creates a spin-off effect by boosting multiple sec-tors, including tourism and trans-port.“We believe we can add to and

support what has already beenachieved by existing events in or-der to provide real support to localcommunities,” Welham says.

Sport as vehicle“Studies have shown sport and

recreation can be used as a vehicleto provide a significant financialboost. We are confident we willcontinue to achieve this goal as therace expands.”Research presented at last year’s

inaugural Cape Town Peace Con-ference, held on the sidelines of theCape Town Marathon, showed ma-jor opportunities existed to posi-tion sport and recreation as a sec-tor with a comparative advantagein economic growth. The researchalso showed the potential to in-crease employment and social de-velopment.“The actual impact of sport and

recreation is largely unknown andvastly underestimated,” the find-ings stated.However, a 2011 recreation study

by the City of Cape Town found theparticipation rate of adults in thecity in sport and recreation was27%, andparticipation trendswererelatively low compared to otherprovinces.Despite the low rate of activity,

the contribution of sport and recre-ation to theWesternCape economywas estimated at R8bn per year.This showed the tremendous po-tential of high-profile, mass partic-ipation sports events.

Sport touristsSport and recreation could also

be directly linked to tourismtrends, the Peace Conferencefound, with a large number of peo-ple visiting the province and otherareas around the country as sporttourists.

South Africa has previouslyhosted numerous successful majorinternational events:. Rugby World Cup, 1995 (1.1mtickets sold for live matches). All Africa Games, 1999 (25 000foreign spectators, athletes and of-ficials). Cricket World Cup, 2003 (627 000tickets sold). Fifa Soccer World Cup, 2010(3.1m tickets sold)All these events attracted fans

andvisitors fromaround the globe,and their success created a spring-board for annual local festivalshoping to create similar interest.While these events attract more

visitors than annual road races, itwould be a once-off competition,whereas annual events such as theCape Town Marathon have the po-

tential to make a regular economicimpact. Last year’s race attractedover R22m in advertising valuealone in the four-month build-up tothe race and raised over R350 000for charity.Yegs Ramiah, chief executive of

Sanlam Brand, says: “The poten-tial impact of hosting Africa’s onlyIAAF-accredited marathon is un-deniable.“Besides providing a unique ex-

perience to runners from all overthe world, the event will boost citytourism and has the potential ofputting Cape Town, South Africaand our continent on the globalstage. Sanlam is proud to be ableto bring the race to Africa.”The second annual Cape Town

Marathon will be held on Sunday20 September.

Marathon to boost economy

This year’s Sanlam Cape Town Marathon on 20 September hopes to build on last year’s success, which saw theevent raise over R350 000 for charity.

At 17 alreadya hockey starBEN BURGER

17-year-old Che February is the People’sPost Let’s Play Sport Star of the monthfor July.Che lives, eats and sleeps hockey. His

greatest dream is to play professional clubhockey in Europe or Australia and to repre-sent South Africa at the Olympic games.“I would like to start playing hockey full-

time, professionally if possible, even if thatmeans staying in Europe to do so and com-ing back to SouthAfrica during the Europe-an hockey league off-season,” he says.Che, who attends Wynberg Boys’ High

School, started playing hockey in Grade 4at Somerset House in Somerset West whenhe was 10 years old.In 2011 Che was selected to captain his

school’s u.13A hockey side and he was se-lected for theWestern Province u.13A hock-ey team. In 2012 he was selected for the PaulRoos Gymnasium u.14A hockey team andthe Boland u.14A Pinotage hockey team.Che moved to Wynberg Boys’ High to

start Grade 9 in 2013. Here he was selectedfor the school’s u.16A hockey team and theWestern Province u.16A interprovincialtournament hockey team. The team wongold in Johannesburg.Last year Che was selected for the

school’s first team and again for the WPu.16A interprovincial tournament team.At this hockey tournament in Durban the

team won gold again. Che was the top goalscorer and voted best striker.Hewas also selected for the SouthAfrican

u.16A hockey team.At the pro series indoor national tourna-

ment last year Che was selected for the SAu.17 indoor hockey team.Che still plays for his school’s first team

and also plays for the second team of WPCricket Club’s hockey club.

He was on the WP u.18A interprovincialtournament team that played in Bloemfon-tein earlier this year. There he was selectedfor the SA u.18A team.Che says he chose hockey because he fell

in love with the fast pace and adrenalinewhen he first played it as a 10-year-old.According to him it takes hard work and

dedication if you want to be good at hockey.He adds that it is difficult to balance aca-demics and training.“This year I am fortunate enough to be

coached by one of the best hockey coachesin South Africa, Paul Revington. All ourtraining sessions are high performance andthe training sessions are intense.“At schoolwe train every day of theweek,

except for a Tuesday, and then I also traintwice aweek for twohours each after schoolat the WPCC hockey club.“It is difficult to balance hockey training

and academics. Because I don’t have muchtime at home to put in the hours for study-ing I try my best to listen during lessons atschool. I try to understand as much of thework as possible from the very beginningin class, so when it comes to exam time Irevise a lot instead of restudying my work.In this way I use most of my time afterschool for hockey training.”He says it is also important to live your

passion, dream big and enjoy your sport.“In my case, goals are very important.

The only way you can determine if you aremoving in the right direction is by settinggoals. The goals will help you when thetraining gets seriously tough and the gamesbecome challenging.”V If you want to nominate a sport star between theages of 13 and 18, email ben.burger@media24.com.Write Sports Star as the subject. Mention the achieve­ments of the nominee in detail. The email should beshorter than 300 words. The decision of the judgesis final.
