“Tel l ing it as it is”

‘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 officialsand police this equates to drunkdriving, run-away fires, moun-tain rescue operations, alcoholon beaches, drownings, litterand an increase in opportunistictheft as tourists flock to CapeTown.

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 Bay

Police 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, sayspatrols on Table Mountain will beincreased and a base radio has beeninstalled in the Cape Town CentralPolice Operations Control room.This will improve the response

time to incidents on the mountain.The dog squad has also grown to

eight, 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 marchingof 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 10:00

to 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 tothis 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 en-visages advancing the country’soverall objective of skilled andsemi-skilled job creation opportu-nities.

Stewart Jennings says; “Once westarted interacting,wequickly real-ised that many common objectivesexisted. For isntance, there is theneed for a competitive currency tounderpin exports and the need toboost enterprise development. Weneed to understand the impact of il-legal imports on the South Africaneconomy. We need to udnerstand

the high cost of doing business asa result of municipal fees, portcharges, electricity prices and theincreasingly onerous terms oftrade. “Our common purpose is thedriving force that has enabled us tomove forward with this pledge,which is closely aligned to the re-cently-signed Local ProcurementAccord.”

Sedibe says “The South African

Government’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 General

Secretary, 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 Af-rica has to take urgent andmeaningful steps to reverse the de-cline in the manufacturing sector.”

No hassling for ‘Christmas boxes’BEING HASSLED by a Solid Waste dirtcollector for festive funds? Report it to theCity of Cape Town.

Council has a policy that strictly forbidspersonnel from asking residents for“Christmas boxes” and “donations”.

“Problems have also arisen where peo-ple posing as City staff have asked formoney, sometimes rudely and aggressive-ly, the City reports.

They have also threatened that wastewill not be collected if the demand is notmet.

“The City will not tolerate such behav-iour from our own staff and have accord-ingly instructed all staff that soliciting for‘Christmas boxes’ and donations is dis-couraged,” says the City’s Mayoral Com-mittee Member for Utility Services, She-haam Sims.

“If residents believe that excellent serv-ice has been provided, they are of course

at liberty to give a voluntary donation tostaff as a gesture of thanks and goodwill,but under no circumstances should theybe approached or solicited for money. Citystaff are well paid by industry standards,and all permanent staff receive a 13thcheque at the end of November,” addedSims.

Report any incidents of intimidation byCity staff to its call centre on 0860 103 089during office hours. Apart from the date,time and place, the staff identity numberand/or vehicle registration numbershould be provided so that the culprits canbe identified.

Such reports will be investigated imme-diately and, where residents are willing totestify, the City will be able to prosecuteoffenders.

Should you be aware of outsiders pos-ing as City officials, the matter should bereported to the local police.

Top team aiming for top prizeTAURIQ HASSEN

WITH the much anticipatedCape Town Minstrel Carni-

val around the corner, teams aregearing up to shine on stage andperform in the street, with one eyeon the coveted Carnival Trophy.

That winning feeling is quite famil-iar to the reigning champions, Penn-sylvania Crooning Minstrels fromHanover Park.

The team originated in DistrictSix, but was later re-established in1989 by the current owner, RichardStemmet, who also captains theteam.

Pennsylvanians have dominatedcarnival competitions for the lastdecade and a half, walking away withfirst prize in best marches, dress,singing, playing and jolling.

“We are very excited for the newseason to kick off and everybody isworking really hard to retain thattrophy,” says Stemmet.

The name, Pennsylvania CrooningMinstrels, reflects the influence ofAmerican minstrel troupes that vis-ited South Africa in the late nine-teenth century and were hugely pop-ular with people of all colours.

“This troupe is one of the oldestaround and has loads of history at-tached, so it’s a real honour for meto be a part of something that my fa-ther started way back in DistrictSix,” says Stemmet.

Isgak Wallace, 35, and RiedewaanAbrahams, 42, two dedicated mem-bers of the team, are the first to pur-chase their gear as soon as it goes onsale. Both said “there is no sport likeklopse.”

Every year the competition getsstronger, but the Pennsylvanians re-

main highly regarded within theminstrel community.

“People can say what they likeabout the team, but we managed towin that trophy for several years run-ning.

“The team grew bigger and better,showcasing extraordinary talent invarious age groups,” says Wallace.

“Playing in this troupe means a lot.This sport is much more than justdancing around in the street. Youmust have real talent in your team towalk away with the big prize,” saysAbrahams.

When asked about their chances ofwinning the 2012 Carnival Trophy,

they laughed and said: “For the lastfew years we were waiting to be chal-lenged by other teams. They are com-ing up, but they are not yet there, sowe don’t have to answer that ques-tion. But let’s wait until the battle be-gins.”

The competition is set for 2 Janu-ary, with the annual road marchthrough Darling Street, where allteams will be judged for presenta-tion, turning into Adderley, headingup Wale Street, through the historicBo-Kaap, turning into Rose Street,where they finish off and head to theAthlone Stadium to perform theirfirst items.

Be your own bossSMALL, medium and microenterprises account for about40% of South Africa’s grossdomestic product, and employmore than half of the privatesector work force. However,80% of small businesses failwithin the first five years. Ac-cording to the most recentGlobal EntrepreneurshipMonitor study, South Africalags far behind many develop-ing nations in terms of its en-trepreneurial activity levels.

The Western Cape is one ofthe most entrepreneuriallydynamic provinces in thecountry, but still contributesjust 14.4% to the country’sgross domestic product(GDP), partly due to the lackof entrepreneurial educationand infrastructure in the re-gion.

The Small Enterprise De-velopment Agency (Seda) nowaims to encouragemore entre-preneurial development with-in the Western Cape, with thelaunch of Seda Small Busi-ness Stars, a national busi-ness plan competition with aunique focus on entrepre-neurial education at a provin-

cial level.The competition will be ad-

judicated by a panel recruitedfrom top business develop-ment agencies and serviceproviders.

The judging process willidentify 20 national businessidea

winners and 20 existingbusiness winners, all of whomwill receive their share ofmore than R400 000 in cash, aswell as laptops and Seda busi-ness support to the value of upto R60 000 each.

Special prizes will also bepresented to the best womanentrepreneur, the best youthentrepreneur, the best disa-bled entrepreneur and thebest “job-creating” entrepre-neur.

The competition is open toany South African citizenover the age of 18 with a busi-ness idea or existing smallbusiness.

The law relating to dogsTERESA FISCHER

THE ongoing debate about walking dogsin public places, particularly on beacheswill result in the rules at each beach be-ing reviewed.

Richard Bosman, Executive Director:Safety and Security, City of Cape Town saysthere will be a formal public participationprocess during the course of next year. A se-ries of notices will be published in commu-nity newspapers and on Subcouncil notice-boards.

A reader from Glencairn had taken up thematter with Law Enforcement following anincident on Glencairn Beach. The reader,who has a guest house and asked not to benamed, says that guests had been “severelyharassed” by dogs on the beach.

He says the signage at the entrance toGlencairn Beach is confusing. One signstates “No Dogs” and another sign states“Dogs on leads.”

He was subsequently told by a City ofCape Town Law enforcement officer thatGlencairn is traditionally a beach wheredogs were always allowed to run loose.

He says that he was told by Law Enforce-ment that dogs are not required to be onleads in public places, they must merely be“under control.”

However, Moyo Mqabuko Ndukwana, In-spectorate Manager at the Cape of GoodHope SPCA points to Section 6(h)(vi) of theAnimal Bylaw 2010 which states:

“No person shall permit any dog owned orkept by him or her to be in any public streetor public place except on a leash and undercontrol unless the dog is in an area designat-ed by the Council as a free running area.

Ndukwana says an example of a free run-ning area is Fish Hoek beach. He notes thatthe SPCA’s focus is animal welfare and notthe enforcing of the bylaw.

Bosman responds that Glencairn Beachhas two formal entrances, which runs paral-lel to the railway tracks. “At each entrancethere is multi-purpose signage board, with

various pictograms depicting that dogs areallowed, but their excrement must be pickedup by the owner. The pictograms do not im-ply the prohibition of dogs,” says Bosman.Bosman referred to the same section of theAnimal Bylaw 2010 mentioned by Ndukwa-na. Bosman says that the City’s Law En-forcement Officers enforce the law in rela-tion to what is stipulated by signage.

FREE SPIRITS: The Animal Bylaw 2010states that dogs must be on a leash and undercontrol in any street or public place unlessin an area designated as a free running area.

Westcott Primary raises the health barWESTCOTT Primary this week wonR25 000 for their school, first prize in theVitality Healthy Schools Competition.

South Africa is home to nearly 16 millionpeople between the ages of 5 and 20. Theyare exposed to junk food, video games andan inactive lifestyle. Discovery Vitality re-alised the importance of encouraging ahealthy lifestyles and introduced the Vitali-ty Healthy Schools Competition. The com-petition was run for the first time this yearand 52 government and private schools en-tered. The programme promotes physicalactivity and good nutrition.

“Healthy lifestyle behaviours developduring childhood and track across the life-span. Early life experiences often lay thefoundations for adult health and quality oflife,” says Dr Craig Nossel, head of VitalityWellness at Discovery.

Schools participating in the programmeagreed to initiate health-promoting, crea-tive and sustainable activities to promote ahealthy, balanced lifestyle. One of the com-petition judges, Professor Yoga Coopoo ofthe Department of Sport and Movement Sci-ences at the University of Johannesburg,says he was impressed by the depth of theinitiatives that Westcott Primary put intoplace. “All the initiatives touch on various

aspects of health, from nutrition, activity,stress and compassion to HIV/AIDS andmore. They all emphasise the importance ofa holistic approach to health and everyonein the school can participate in some wayor other, which ensures broad reach anddissemination of the information.”

Westcott Primary has a strong extra-cur-ricular programme and they also had a funrun which involved children, parents and

pets. On the nutrition side, their tuck shop,although independently run, made surethat the foods they sold were healthy. Theschool grew a vegetable garden that learn-ers themselves had to look after. The fruitand vegetables were made into healthysnacks, and all excess food was donated toworthy causes. Some classes even had fruitsnack breaks at 9:30 to elevate blood sugarlevels. Pupils were informed why blood sug-

ar levels needed to be elevated.Parents were encouraged to take part in

the initiatives as much as possible.“It is obvious that a lot of time and effort

was dedicated to this programme by West-cott Primary. The participants should becommended for an awesome programmethat created a lot of enthusiasm and interestin the importance of health and wellness,”said Coopoo.

Slave bell to ringout Garden hoursTHE Company’s Garden in Queen Victo-ria Street will remain open until 20:30 eve-ry day from the beginning of the schoolholidays on Saturday 10 December untilWednesday 29 February 2012.

This will allow residents and visitors achance to enjoy the long summer days inthis beautiful and tranquil setting withinthe CBD.

“The Garden is an ideal setting for awalk or a relaxing picnic on the lawns inthe cool evening air,” says the City’s May-oral Committee Member for CommunityServices, Councillor Tandeka Gqada.

The tradition of ringing the memorial‘slave bell’ to signal the Garden’s closingtime will also be revived.

The bell, which stands near the aviaryin the Company’s Garden, is in fact the oldTown Hall bell that was rung in the eventof a fire.

It dates back to 1855.In the late 1920s it was moved to the

Company’s Garden and hung on a belltower modelled after the tower in thegroundsof Stellenbosch’sElsenburgAgri-cultural College.

This ‘slave bell’ will ring out the extend-ed opening hours during the Festive Sea-

son.The Company’s Garden restaurant

will also stay open later from Saturday10 December to Sunday 15 January 2012and musicians will provide light enter-tainment in the evenings during thisperiod.

Renowned violin teacher, Maria Botha,will kick off the musical entertainmentschedule with a bang on Sunday 11 De-cember.

Botha runs a violin teaching projectwith the Cape Philharmonic Orchestraand will bring her group of students fromNyanga, Gugulethu and Cape Town toplay an informal session near the restau-rant at 17:00.

The students will be conducted by vio-lin teachers from France and Canada,who are in Cape Town for a violin work-shop.

Safety in the Company’s Garden is as-sured by the 24-hour private security per-sonnel who patrol the area, as well asCCTV cameras positioned in strategic lo-cations.

City Law Enforcement Officers will al-so be at hand to conduct regular patrolsuntil 20:00.

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.

For more information about MyCiTiservices, see www.capetown.gov.za/myci-ti or call the Transport Information Centreon 0800 65 64 63.

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 targetsthe 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. ThisWorld Aids Day, acknowledge that victory isup to each of us.

Let’s take back our streetsI refer to the People’s Post letter “Turn theTide” published on 22 Tuesday November2011.

All areas of our city are affected bycrime. The only difference being the lev-els and types of crime. It is for this reasonthat the Plumstead NeighbourhoodWatch was formed. We wanted to “Turnthe Tide” and take back our streets so thatour residents could live in a safe environ-ment. We do not want to be held hostageby the criminal elements. We do not expe-rience much by way of violent crime, butare mostly affected by property relatedcrimes

The Plumstead Neighbourhood Watchwas formed in 2007 and to date has beenvery successful. We have had a definiteimpact on crime levels in the area weserve and on a regular basis SAPS Die-priver gives credit to the patrollers for thegood work they are doing. Various mediareleases received from the SAPS Diepriv-er Communications Officer W/O Chan-dler will attest to this. Thanks need to begiven to those members who on a regularbasis offer up their often limited free timeto carry out patrols at all hours of the dayand night. Being visible in the neighbour-hood is a definite deterrent to crime. Weact as the eyes and ears of SAPS and othersecurity service providers. Seeing patrol-lers on the road is also comforting to theresidents, especially the elderly. We regu-

larly receive feedback such as the follow-ing: “I am a widow living on my own andthat I can walk to Prospur knowing thatthey (patrollers) were out and that atnight when I see the orange lights drivepast my house I have peace of mind.”

Unfortunately as a neighbourhoodwatch you become a victim of your ownsuccess. As members see a drop in crimelevels they feel there is no longer a needto patrol and as such the number of activepatrollers has dropped off which has a di-rect impact on our effectiveness. We con-stantly need to encourage patrollers tocontinue patrolling and to look for addi-tional patrollers.

For this reason we held a recruitmentdrive and awareness campaign, in con-junction with SASP Diepriver, on Satur-day 19 November 2011. Tables, manned bymembers, were situated at Prospur Cen-tre, Churchill Road, Checkers Plumsteadand Pick n Pay Gabriel Road. A lot of in-terest was shown and we are following upon those who showed an interested injoining. The Exco of PNW would also liketo thank those, including SAPS, who as-sisted in manning the tables.

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 has come of age inher rendition of a candid and heart-wrench-ing account of her humble journey from therural 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 her mother tongue, Afrikaans,tells the story of her musical career, startingfrom the age of 8 at the local Grabouw church,to the tribulations that nearly doomed hersinging career.

She has ‘come clean’ and director, Basil Ap-polis must be applauded.

Producer Alistair Izobell is to be compli-mented for his latest offering This is my Life amust-see by all Cape Town musical theatrelovers – and bring along extra tissuesMARK KLEINSCHMIDT

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 theirFacebook Fan Page to at least 15 000 (anoth-er 2 700 to go).

The Trust’s current priority project is toraise R13 million to upgrade and equip thesecond phase of the General MedicalWards at the Hospital. These wards treatthe Hospital’s youngest and sickest pa-tients, most of whom have infectious dis-eases. These wards have not been upgrad-ed since the Hospital was built in 1956 and

it has become critical to modernise and im-prove the wards 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 Facebook fanswill be first in line to receive news on pa-tients, life-changing surgical proceduresand special celebrity visits. Fans will alsoreceive advice on how to support the Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust and updates onprojects in and around the hospital, specif-ic healthcare projects beyond the hospi-tals’ doors that will affect paediatrichealthcare throughout the Western Cape.

To show your support ‘Like’ the Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust’s fan page at www.fa-cebook.com/childrenshospitaltrust Youcan also visit www.childrenshospitalt-rust.org.za

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.

Teen wins peace prizeTHE International Children’s PeacePrize 2011 was awarded to Michaela My-croft (17) of Plumstead last week Mon-day.

Five children were nominated and an-nounced by Desmond Tutu at the end of Octo-ber. The prize was presented to her by NobelPeace Laureate Mairead Maguire.

Michaela, also called Chaeli, received thisaward for her commitment to the rights ofchildren with disabilities in South Africathrough her project The Chaeli Campaign.The International Children’s Peace Prize, aninitiative of the Dutch organization Kid-sRights, is presented annually to an excep-tional child, whose courageous or otherwiseremarkable acts and thoughts have made adifference in countering problems that affectchildren around the world.

This year it will be the seventh time thatthe International Children’s Peace Prize hasbeen awarded.

More than 400 national and internationalguests gathered to honour the teen in theHall of Knights in the Hague. A number ofrepresentatives from the government, indus-try and non-governmental organizationsspoke at the ceremony, including State Sec-retary of Health, Welfare and Sport, MarliesVeldhuijzen van Zanten, Chief of Child Pro-tection Section UNICEF, Susan Bissell andNobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire.

After the inspiring words of these speak-ers, Chaeli received the Nkosi, a specialsculpture that shows a child moving theworld. This sculpture symbolises the impactof the award. It has reached millions of peo-ple and provides a global platform for Chaelito promote her message and to tell her bravestory.

Chaeli was born with Cerebral Palsy,which limits the function of her arms andlegs. But her positive attitude is an inspira-tion to many. “Hope is what keeps us going,”she says.

“It’s what keeps us striving for the lives wedeserve. I have hope for myself, but I alsohavehope for all other childrenwithdisabili-ties. I hope that my actions as an ability ac-tivist will leave the world more accepting ofand more accommodating for all people andnot just people with disabilities. We are alldifferent and we all have the need to be ac-cepted, regardless of whether we have a disa-bility or not.”

At the age of 9, Chaeli and her friends andsister started a project to raise money for amotorized wheelchair for Chaeli. In just sev-en weeks they had raised more than enoughmoney, so Chaeli decided to help more disa-bled children. This project has become theChaeli Campaign, a professional organiza-tion that annually helps more than 3 000 chil-dren with disabilities in South Africa withequipment and physical therapy. It defendsthe rights of and promotes acceptance of dis-abled children. Chaeli inspires other chil-dren to start projects, has developed an am-bassadors programme.

Mayor backs softball teamLYNN PRINS

WITH just a week to go before thefirst pitch in the Junior Wom-en’s World Series at Turfhall

Stadium in Athlone, People’s Post chattedwith the Mayor, who had a message forthe South African national team: “I amvery proud of the achievements of the la-dies in our national team, I know they willbe good hosts and will do our City proud.The ladies will represent the best of whatyoung people can be, and make the rightchoices.”

She also said that hosting the JWWC is anopportunity to give softball more exposureand to introduce young Capetonians to thesport. “Cape Town’s youth often face negativeinfluences.

Upgrading and maintaining sports facili-ties is one way in which we, as a caring city,provide alternative spaces where they canthrive,” she said.

People’s Postalso caughtupwithGrantPas-coe, Executive Mayoral Committee Memberfor Tourism, Events and Marketing. Whenasked what it would mean for the City, hesaid: “Tourism plays a major role in the eco-nomic growth of the City, and Cape Town isno doubt the tourist Mecca of South Africa.Events like these are major contributing fac-tors.”

Pascoe will attend most of the games andpraised the softball reporting inPeople’sPost.“It is important that the smaller sports codes,like softball, get the media coverage it de-serves. These codes do not enjoy the benefitsof corporate sponsorship and require thekind of exposure you are affording softball.

“Your initiative to partner softball in thisWorld event will not go unnoticed and willgive other, smaller codes the confidence tohost national and international events.”

People’s Post Editor, Feroza Miller-Isaacs,commented on the fact that the paper will be

on the sameplatformas the foreignpress, likeit was during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

She said: “The role of community newspa-pers in public discourse cannot be underesti-mated.

“It is important that both free sheets anddailies provide premium coverage of the JW-WC,” she said.

“People’s Post is privileged and proud topartner a sporting event of this magnitudeand importance. Sport, as a positive alterna-

tive for young people, plays a more promi-nant role in today’s challenging times.

“With the temptations of substanceabuse as an outlet, sport offers a choice. Wetherefore fully support and applaud the ef-forts of all role players to bring this prestig-ious event to fruition,” said Miller-Isaacs.

The JWWC starts on Wednesday 7 De-cember and ends on Saturday 17 December.Tickets cost R20 per day and can be boughtonline at Computicket.
