@jeranji

Rondebosch Community ImprovementDistrict (RCID) urges child mindersand domestic workers to walk in

groups when they go to work.This follows several reports of nannies

and domestic workers being robbed on theirway to work. It is alleged that two of the rob-beries were done by school children in uni-forms.

There have been two reported incidents ofnannies being mugged – one in Rondeboschand the other in Claremont.

Last week, another nanny reported shewas certain that two uniformed boys(around 14 years old) were planning to con-front her with scissors.

She acted responsibly and took detoursand ran part of the way home in the hopeof losing them. They followed her into Locar-no Road, where she noticed some kind of glit-tering weapon from afar.

She decided to run back to Oakhurst Ave-nue where she was able to flag down a securi-ty vehicle.

The two school boys involved in the Clare-mont incident were later identified as be-longing to a school in Claremont.

Robbed at gun pointIn the latest incident a domestic worker

was robbed at gun point as she was going towork on Saturday 26 September at about08:30.

It is alleged that as she walked fromRondebosch Station towards Portfield Roadtwo men followed her.

One of them had a gun. They took every-thing she had and fled on foot.

Shirley Aldum, RCID manager, says threemuggings are too many and child mindersmust be vigilant. In one of the incidents ananny was walking with a three-year-oldchild.

She urges workers not to carry many par-cels or have cellphones in their hands whilewalking as this makes them easy targets.

She says if a nanny notices she is beingfollowed she must keep crossing the streetover and over.

“If you walk to the other side of the streetand they follow you again, seek help urgent-ly: Go to the nearest garage, open shop orring a bell at the nearest home. When walk-ing children to the park or going to the shopwalk with someone.”

“Keep to the main road and don’t go deepinto quiet streets as there they can becomeeasy targets of crime,” she concludes.

Fishy stories incomic bookNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Ten years after the Treknet comic stripsfirst appeared in print, local cartoonists

Dave Gomersall and Gavin Thomson havelaunched a book, Tales from Treknet, withtheir favourite strips from the years of be-ing published.The popular comic strip first appeared in

People’s Post and is based on the fishing cul-ture in Fish Hoek. Gomersall explains thattreknet fishing encapsulates the culture ofFish Hoek.“Every topic gets sucked into the trek-

net.”

Local is lekkerAlthough inspired by False Bay locals

and fishermen and Gomersall’s own sailingexperience, the characters developed overthe years, he says.Gomersall and Thomson met each other

while Gomersall was searching for an illus-trator for a children’s book he was writing.He and Thomson soon discovered a sharedlove for comics, and the book was shelvedto give way to a new partnership.“I can’t spell and he can’t draw,” jokes

Thomson as he sums up their relationship.They started out with a strip about a boy

who sails around the world, but were askedto produce a more local strip for the paper.Many of the stories are shaped by sailing

trips Gomersall took, with Thom-son often working with him via sat-ellite phone while he was sailingacross the Atlantic.“But I always wrote two months

ahead, just in case I died,” Gomer-sall says.The partnership started out when

local cartooning was still in its in-fancy, Thomson explains.“When we were starting out, car-

tooning was a real mystery. Therewas not a lot to go on or people toask,” he says.But the series grew in popularity

and was even the subject of a TVshow on KykNET in 2013. The pairhad to sort through over 2500 stripsin selecting content for the book.They have written several other

comic strips, with some being pub-lished inNorway, Sweden, Namibiaand the United States. Their workhas, and still does, appear in dailynewspapers across the country.

Child’s playBoth Gomersall and Thomson

had always loved comics, with bothreading them as children and al-ways doodling during school.“I must have been drawing all

through school,” says Thomson. “Inever really took it seriously be-

cause it never occurred to me that I couldmake a living from it.”Today they give talks at schools and are

always amazed at how children identifywith the characters, Thomson says.“Education through pictures is easier to

understand,” explains Gomersall, who hasbeen approached to provide cartoons fortextbooks.Thomson says: “Kids were told comics

are junk in the past. But reading anythingis good.”The cartoonists have made sure Treknet

remains a family-friendly comic strip.

Just go for itTales of Treknet has been self-published

after the cartoonists found there was littleinterest from local publishers.They asked fans for pledges and sold ad-

vertising on the back cover, which helpedfund the publication.“The last ten years has taught me to just

go for it,” says Thomson. “Fear of not suc-ceeding only holds you back.”They hope the comic strip’s next debut

will be on the big screen.“We’d love to do something in animation

or a movie with Leon Schuster,” Thomsonsays.V Copies of Tales of Treknet are available at BookLounge and Clarks Books in Cape Town, Blank Booksin Woodstock, Reader’s Den in Claremont and Tyger­valley and Wordsworth Books in Longbeach Mall.

The Wynberg police cluster has experi-enced a noticeable decrease in most of

its crime categories, but carjacking androbbery remain causes for concern.The cluster covers various southern

suburbs communities from Mowbray toOcean View, with most stations reportingan increase in carjackings and robberywith aggravated circumstances in theyear until March.In most robberies, victims reported be-

ing robbed near public transport inter-changes, businesses or when arrivinghome and park in their driveways.Victims were often confronted while

walking alone. They were approachedfrom behind and robbed of personal be-longings.With the area having a large stu-dent population, they are common targets.According to police, the perpetrators

are generally fromoutside the area, whichmakes detection difficult. The robberswere often in groups of two or three per-sons. Police spokesperson Captain AngieLatchman says the police have sustaina-ble strategies and action plans will be im-plemented to address all problematiccrimes.For instance, stations have increased

patrols on foot and in cars in all identifiedhotspots. Undercoverunits havealso beendeployed to observe problematic areas.The police hold safety talks with students

at schools and on campuses as well as reg-ular vehicle checkpoints and stop andsearch operations.“Stations have also made significant ar-

rests in a number of crime categories. Nu-merous persons have been arrested forpossession of dangerous weapons, whichcould have led, had they not been arrested,to more serious crimes being committed.”“Police have also arrested people for be-

ing in possession of stolen property,whichin turn have led police to arrest personsin connection with house break- ins,” shesays. Police also say joint operations withstakeholders such as metro police, law en-forcement, traffic, community police fo-rums and neighbourhood watches havehelped reduce crime.

NEW STRATEGY

Southern suburbs crime declines

Residents are called on to obey the in-structions of lifeguards when makinguse of public swimming pools.TheCity of CapeTown’s sport, recre-

ation and amenities department hasmade an effort to ensure that its facili-ties are ready for the summer.More than 200 trained lifeguards

will be on duty at the City’s 35 swim-ming pools.BelindaWalker, mayoral committee

member for community services andspecial projects, says thousands ofpeople are expected at the pools.“In the rush to cool off on warmer

days, children especially tend to getcaught up in the moment and forgetabout being safe in the water.“Our municipal swimming pools

should be places of fun and recreation.Irresponsible behaviour, which placesother users at risk, will not be tolerat-ed. The most important role of a life-guard is to prevent drownings at ourpools,” she says.According to Walker the swimming

poolswill be open every day thisweek.Thereafter, they will be open on

weekends until the end of October.From November the swimming poolswill be open every day between 10:00and 17:00.Between 16 December and 15 Janu-

ary the pools will be open daily be-tween 09:00 and 18:00.The Sea Point, Blue Downs, Strand,

Mnandi and Long Street public poolsare open daily throughout the year.No alcohol, glass containers, pets,

tents or weapons of any kind may bebrought to the pools. No running andhorse play, no dunking or diving offshoulders, no ball games and no push-ing in and around the pool are allowed.Children under the age of seven needto be accompanied by an adult at alltimes.

Take care with the fish you eatTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Choose green. Keep our seafoodstores plenty.

This is the message that WWF’sSouthern African Sustainable Sea-food Initiative (Sassi) is spreading,so that seafood lovers are morecautious of what they consume.

After noticing that many con-sumers enjoy fish without pausingto think what that means to the en-vironment they decided to turnconsumers’ mindsets.

To make sure people are in theknow about the kind of fish theyeat Sassi embarked on a seven-month campaign.

The education campaign, called#SASSIstories, helps people makeenvironmentally responsible sea-food choices.

Sassi is known for its traffic lightsystem, which classifies seafoodinto green (which is a best buy), or-ange (think twice) and red (don’tbuy).

This is based on the sustainabili-ty of the different species.

Sassi says it’s about to get evenmore colourful.

On Tuesday last week Sacs Jun-iorSchool inNewlands,Pick ’nPayand Sassi unveiled a mural as partof the campaign.

This was to highlight their com-mitment to the conversation aboutseafood.

The mural is mainly focused onretailers to also commit to givingtheir customers what is on the Sas-si approved list.

As part of the partnership Sacs’Grade 6 pupils did a survey to get

a picture of whether consumersunderstood what was at stake.

Pupils surveyed 800 people intheir community and concludededucation was vital and, thoughmost people knew the impact theirchoices had on the species, theyjust didn’t want to do the rightthing.

Pavs Pillay, manager of the Sassiprogramme, says she was amazedat the pupils’ work.

“The project is a perfect exampleof team work. This is more thanjust eating healthy but it’s showingrespect to the fish and the seas, sothat the species is not extinct. Wehave to be aware of our consump-tion of seafood and have an under-standing of it because extinction ofthe species will affect the wholechain, with human beings includ-ed.

“I really appreciate and amthankful for the work done by thepupils; we will also use it in our re-search.”

Janine Basson, Pick ’n Payspokesperson, says it’s very impor-tant to support good education andprovide things that uplift the com-munity.

“This is ground-breaking andit’s so much about the ethos of ourcompany; that’s why we really sup-port the initiative. It shows the lev-el of team work and collaborationand it’s very meaningful that re-tailers use their strength and influ-ence to make a change,” she says.V If you would like to be responsible andcheck the status of any fish you order orbuy SMS 079 499 8795 or download thefree Sassi app. Visit www.wwf.org.za/sassifor the full interactive list.

Call for nominations for junior City councilThe City of Cape Town has called on highschools to nominate Grade 8, 9 and 10 pupilsto participate in its junior city council pro-gramme.

The City aims to get pupils in the MotherCity acquainted with the workings of the

City and its council. Membership is volun-tary and pupils devote time and effort to at-tend to issues affecting the youth.V For more information contact Levona Africa on217 400 5841 or [email protected] be­fore 27 November.

Teachers and Grade 7 pupils of GrooteSchuur Primary School had an opportu-

nity to play sport against each other andlearn from one another last week.The event was the first of its kind at the

school and was aimed at passing on differ-ent skills. About 35 teachers played netballand hockey against the pupils.The two-hour long event was supported

by many pupils from other grades who sataround the court and cheered on their fel-low pupils and teachers.Brent Davids, the head of sport at the

school, says the day was filled with fun.“It was a different atmosphere and they

had to interact with one another on a newlevel different from being in class.“It was a fun day, because theywere shar-

ing skills and the teachers had to sharewiththem what they knew about the sport aswell. They shared some advice with the pu-pils; it was like a coaching session and they

had to learn from the teachers as they weredoing it,” he says.The day was also used to motivate other

pupils to take part in sport, so that one daytheywill also play against their teachers. Intheway theywere cheering, it was clear thepupils alsowanted to be in that position oneday.Davids believes sport has a major role to

play.“It makes children work much better in

class. It makes them concentrate and theycan learn fast. Playing sport is a very goodthing. Those kids who are involved in sportperform much better at school, so days likethis encourage them to want to be part ofa team.“It also grooms them to work better in a

team. Sport is all about teamwork, so whenthey go back to class they can practise theteam work they learnt here and it will beeasy to work with others and accomplishtasks.”With the success of the event they hope

to repeat it annually.

Teachers andGrade 7 pupilsat Groote SchuurPrimary Schoolcompetedagainst eachother on a sportfun day lastweek.

Local comic shows off cityCapeTownTourismhas launched the “LoveCape Town neighbourhood series”, a collec-tion of videos revealing three suburbs, in-cluding the city centre.The videos are a direct response to the

“travel like a local” trend. This after re-search revealed visitors want to experiencethe places they travel in ways that exposethem to the quirky and interesting featuresenjoyed by locals.Showcasing local hidden gems around

the city, three areas have been chosen forthe first videos in the series, with anotherexpected to be made in the next threemonths. Viewers are given a sneak peak in-to the local hotspots by some well-knownCape Town residents.Local comedianSivNgesi takes you to the

cosmopolitan heart of the city centre, celeb-rity chef Karen Dudley to Woodstock, withits eclectic blend of old and ultra-modernCape Town, andmusician Arno Carstens to

the beautiful coastal suburb with the feel ofa fishing village, Kalk Bay.According to CEO Enver Duminy, Cape

Town Tourism is responding to this trendto explore local haunts by loading neigh-bourhood guides to areas around the Moth-er City on to YouTube.“We understand that we’re appealing to

themain target audience, but also that withthis new trend we can actively spread thepositive effect of tourism,” he says.Being exposed directly to travellers al-

lows local businesses, especially the small-er ones, to be showcased on a global plat-form, Duminy explains.“This will also allow for a direct injection

of funds into areas beyond the traditionaltourist routes or sites. This will ultimatelylead to increased job creation and a widerspread of the tourist rand,” he says.V The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownTourism.

Cape Town Tourism has created a video series to intimately reveal Cape Town neighbour-hoods, like Woodstock and its gem like the artistic graffiti. PHOTO: CAPE TOWN TOURISM

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of SouthAfrica (HSFSA) recently screened the OldMutual sports club soccer players and theirguests to raise awareness about cardiovas-cular disease.

Community screenings are part of thefoundation’s schedule to encourage peopleto do blood pressure and blood sugar tests.

Players of Old Mutual sports club weretested, which included measurements forblood pressure, blood glucose and weightstatus. The screening included counsellingfor anyone with concerning numbers. It was

a great success and saw a good turnout, edu-cating all about the risk factors which mostpeople were not aware of.

The HSFSA plays a leading role in thefight against preventable heart disease andstroke, with the aim of seeing fewer peoplein South Africa suffer premature deaths anddisabilities.V For more information contact the Heart and Strokehealth line on 0860 1 HEART (43278) or visitwww.heartfoundation.co.za or the HeartStrokeSApage on Facebook or follow @SAHeartStroke on Twit­ter.

Healthy hearts get tested

Players of the Old Mutual soccer club were recently tested by the Heart and Stroke Foundationof South Africa for blood pressure, blood glucose and weight status.

With the aim of reintroduc-ing provincial soccer at lo-cal soccer association level

and to develop amateur soccer inthe region, the Goodwill tourna-ment is about to showcase thewealth of talent across the country.

The Cape district will be hostingthe tournament for the secondtime. It takes place at the WilliamHerbert sports complex fromThursday to Saturday.

According to Iqbal Kasker, thisyear’s tournament coordinator,the advent of unification and theera of professional soccer have toa certain extent taken its toll onamateur soccer in the country.

“Gone are the days when the sea-son’s climax was the annual inter-provincial tournament which allplayers, administrators and spec-tators looked forward to,” he says.

The selection and awarding ofprovincial colours to players whoperformed well throughout the sea-son was a treasured experience toaspire to, he says, as he recalls fondmemories fostered through friend-ly rivalries forged through theyears.

“One only needs to reflect on theexisting tournaments still beingrun by codes like hockey to witnessa level of rivalry, competitivenessand camaraderie that most of ouryoung players (if not all) have not

yet experienced,” Kasker says.One of the custodians of amateur

soccer in the country, the North-ern Areas Football Association(formerly Eastern Province SoccerBoard) created the tournament torekindle the interprovincial tour-nament.

Since the Safa regions cannot ca-ter for all its players, whilst theydid introduce interprovincialgames for certain divisions, it wasfelt that the local associationsshould do something themselves.

The interprovincial Goodwill lo-cal soccer associations tourna-ment was launched at the head-quarters of the Cape District in2007. The first tournament, in PortElizabeth in 2008, was won byMitchell’s Plain. The Cape Districtwon the inaugural u.15 title.

U.11, u.13, u.15, u.17 and seniorteams will compete in the tourna-ment, which starts at 09:00 on allthree days.

The eight local associations havebeen divided into two sections – Aand B groups.

Group AHost Cape District, Du Noon,

King Williams Town LFA and CapeTown Tygerberg

Group BEast London Central, Northern
