Local school designs UK greeting cardsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

There may be some budding Pablo Picassoor William Kentridge in the benches at

Koeberg Primary, for whom their new artclass will provide inspiration.On Monday 25 April there was lots of ex-

citement at the school when they openedtheir newly renovated art room, and theirtalents could soon be spreading across theworld. Pupilswill soonbeusing the facilitiesto design Christmas cards for their spon-sors.As visitors filed through the doors after

the ribbon was cut to launch the facility,

there were gasps of admiration for thestate-of-the-art equipment that awaitedthem.Susie Moffatt, from the Bookery, ex-

plained this initiative followed on a previ-ous project at the school that saw them get-ting a new library. “During September lastyear the directors of the Peter CundillFoundation, who provides funding forSchoolAidUK,were inSouthAfrica to lookat some of the projects they were sponsor-ing,” she said. “They were here becauseone of their projects was the new library,but what they really wanted was to lookaround the school and see it in action.They visited a few classrooms, chatted to

teachers and they really liked what they saw.The vision of the principal, Shanaaz Majiet,the commitment of the teachers and thefriendly atmosphere in the classrooms im-pressed them, Moffatt says.“A month later I got an email to say that

they would like to sponsor another project atthe school and that is how the Art Roomproject was born.”Principal ShanaazMajiet thanked the spon-

sors for their support, but added that somanypeople played an important role in projectslike these.“I think that projects like these show what

can be done if we work together to make aneffort to provide the best environment forour learners,” she said. “I am grateful forhaving committed staff, governing body andmost importantly parents who are preparedto go the extra mile for their children.”Moffatt left an exciting initiative for last.“I have no doubt that this art room will

inspire the children to do their best but ifyou need more motivation then the newsjust in is that SchoolAidUKwould like their2016 Christmas cards to be designed by thelearners from this school.”Now that’s some positive inspiration.

FROM PAGE 1“Our objectives remain democracy, non-ra-cialism, non-sexism and freedom,” he ex-plained.“We are deeply concerned at the direction

in which the current leadership of the Afri-can National Congress, government and par-liament are taking our country. As the work-ing committee we are committed to the idealof placing our country, constitution and peo-ple first.”On Facebook, Zarina Richardson, who

picketed in Rondebosch, said it was so em-powering to have a voice and a platform toshow that she cared about the situation in thecountry.“It is vital for theyounger generation toun-

derstand and experience firsthand what itmeans to be defenders of the constitution andbeing born “free” comeswith an awesome re-sponsibility.”V For more information about the forum go to www.fa-cebook.com/groups/1579761445667820/

partment was forced to erect prefab class-rooms that was in operation until the an-nouncement that we would be getting ournew school which has just been completedthis year.”Last week the school celebrated the start

of their birthday celebrations with a partyat the school and then a day of fun at thelocal sportsfield.“We’ve still got some celebrations

Haven nightshelter turns 18GARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

A haven of hope for the homeless inKensington celebrated a “coming of

age” with its 18th birthday recently.Opening on 18 April 1998, the Haven

Night Shelter on the corner of 13th Ave-nue and Dapper Road, has been servingthe community well and even got a sur-prise gift to help themwith their activi-ties.Kevin Alexander, public relations of-

ficer (PRO) for the organisation, ex-plains that the shelter was opened by agroup of tenacious community mem-bers who were determined to help themany homeless people who were sleep-ing on the streets. “The idea of estab-lishing a night shelter in the area wasfirst opposed by a group of communitymembers who strongly resisted theidea.“They were organising marches and

placard protests near the proposed sitefor thebuilding, arguing thathavingva-grants and homeless people in the areawould devalue their properties and in-crease crime in the area.However, the majority of residents,

including many organisations andclubs such as the Freedom Riders Motorcy-cle Club, were keen to help the homeless, hesays. “Eventually the piece of ground wasacquired from the City of Cape Town, andTheHavenNight Shelter inKensingtonwasestablished.”Today, the shelter provides a temporary

home to 60 homeless clients, rehabilitatingthem through life skills programmes andcounselling sessions by a registered social

worker to eventually reunite them withtheir families or reintegrate them into soci-ety.“We received many blessings over the

years from sponsors and donors,” added Al-exander.“This yearwealso received a surprise gift

from our chaplain, Reverend Kevin Willi-ams,whodonated a brandnewchest freezerto the facility.”

IN THE GARDEN

Perfect time to plantAutumn has arrived and, along with it, some much neededrain which makes the conditions ideal for planting.Now is the time to get some plants and seedlings into the

garden.During the wintermonths your plants will have time to set-

tle and develop root systems in order to flourish when springand summer arrive.What should be on your gardening to do list this month:

Plant and sow. Try indigenous varieties like tritonia, lachenalia, ixias,

sparaxis, babianas, watsonias, chincherinchee and exoticslike ranunculus, anemone, hyacinths, daffodils andnarcissusfor some wonderful spring flowers

. Sow or plant winter- and spring-flowering seedlings likeAfrican daisies, sweet peas, Virginian stocks, cinerarias,snapdragons, lobelias, delphiniums, dianthus, nemesia, pan-sies, salvia, violas, scabiosa and Flanders poppies

. Don’t forget winter veggies like broccoli, broad beans,peas, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, spinach, onions and tur-nips – ideal for potjies, stews and soups.

Feed. Make sure you mow your lawn a little shorter and feed

it with a potassium-rich fertiliser to strengthen it before thewinter months

. Feed azaleas, camellias and tea bushes with a handful ofcolour burst. Mulch with super acidic mix and keep well wa-tered

. Container plants should be fed with Nitrosol to give thema boost before winter.

. Citrus treesneedahandful ofMagnesiumSulphate roundabout now; and remember to inspect the leaves carefully forsigns of citrus psylla or scale.

Prune. Prune evergreen hedges, summer-flowering shrubs and

overgrown climbers. Deadhead roses to encourage a last autumn flush.

Driver responsibilityFor the past couple of years wehear and read of the dailycarnage taking place on ourhighways, byways and pave-ments.No matter what our devoted

law enforcement officers put inplace in the form of surveil-lance cameras, personal pres-ence, roadblocks, high visibili-ty, ghost squads, media brief-ings and electronic noticeboards, the carnage on ourroads goes unabated.Let’s make one thing clear:

without the presence of our lawenforcement officials and all thetactics and strategies, driveranarchy will prevail.No matter what the officials

have in place or what they do,they cannot be behind everywheel of every driver drivingtheir vehicles. Nor can theycontrol the attitude of everydriver who starts up theirengine.Keeping this in mind, we

have to be truly realistic andapply the reasonable mancriteria that law enforcementwill never stop the road car-nage on our highways andbyways.The only other strategy or

tactic officials can use is tohighlight or target the individu-

al driver of every vehicle bynotices and media channels.Every driver who speeds;

drives recklessly, negligently, orunder the influence of intoxica-ting liquor or narcotic drugs; oracts out road rage; will have tobear the brunt of the outcomewhether physically or financial-ly.Drivers must ensure that the

vehicles they are driving –whether their own or of some-one else’s – comply with thelawful requirements as specifiedin the Road Traffic Regulationsor if apprehended the driver ispersonally responsible for thefinancial fines issued.The drivers must be made

totally aware that in the eventof any vehicle driving offencethe driver is responsible fortheir actions.The traffic officials and

transport department musttarget the drivers’ attitudes andbring to the fore that each andevery driver is solely responsi-ble for their good and badattitudes on the road, no matterif they is or is not law enforce-ment in the vicinity.It is all about that personal

attitude while driving.KEITH BLAKE

Fifty shades ofballet on stageLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Performing in one of international chore-ographer Ashley Killar’s ballets in

Shades of Love is “almost like completing acircle” for Observatory’s Tracy Li.The former prima ballerina’s made her

SouthAfrican debut in aDurban productionof Killar’s Romeo and Juliet in 1992, beforemoving to Cape Town to join the Cape TownCity Ballet just one year later.Although now retired, Tracy will make a

guest appearance in Towards Illusion whenCTCB present Shades of Love at ArtscapeTheatre from Saturday to Sunday 22 May.The company have been hard at work

since January preparing for the productionwhich includes Killar’s Towards Illusion,The Miraculous Mandarin, Serenade andGlazunovVariations alongwith a brandnewRomeo and Juliet balcony pas de deux byRobin vanWyk, theBeauty and the Beast pasde deux inspired by John Cranko, and thepas de trois, Tritsch-Tratsch, adapted andperformed in his honour.“Ashley is such a lovely person and easy

toworkwith,” Tracy says, adding that whilehe might not always be an easy person perse, it’s his encouragement thatmakes the ex-perience enjoyable. “It’s very nice to workwith someone so positive and it’s very yield-ing in a way.”Tracy explains that Towards Illusion fol-

lows professional dancers as they preparethemselves for a performance. “It’s basicallyplaying around with what a dancer’s dailylife is.”With this in mind, Tracy says Killar isn’t

very rigid, allowing Tracy to play with the

feeling and message she wants to bringacross to the audience. “It’s unusual and weare having a lot of fun trying to get the es-sence of what he wants.”Since retiring from the stage in 2007, Tra-

cy has stayed onwith CTCB as a teacher andcoach, sharing her 20 years of repertoirewith a new generation of dancers.She was pulled back to the stage in 2013

however to dance Camille and has madeguest appearances “now and then” eversince. “It’s the best of both worlds.”Tracy now enjoys the privilege of being

more selective with the roles she choosesand tries to use this opportunity to exploreher artistic side. “I’m not here to competewith the younger generation…. I admire alltheir strength and abilities, but I am explor-ing how much I can discover in myself.”Tracy believes that supportive audiences

will energise younger dancers, but quicklyadds that they do have their own following,but the company is always looking to ex-pand. From amanagement side she says thecompany is always pushing dancers to helpthem dance to the best of their abilities.While Tracy doesn’t have any other thea-

tre plans after Shades of Love herself, she’llbe concentrating on making sure the CTCBdancers are physically and mentally pre-pared for the company’s upcoming produc-tions.She’ll be joined by 13 other dancers when

she performs Towards Illusion, to the scoreof Benjamin Britten’s “Variations on aTheme of Frank Bridge”.V For more information about Shades of Love andCTCB’s other upcoming productions, visit www.cape-towncityballet.org.za. Tickets are available from Com-puticket or Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 7695.

Raising hope for homelessNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

What do 7000 homeless peopleand the star of a popular You-

Tube channel have in common?They’ve all felt the sting of sleep-

ing in a cold winter night’s air.YouTuber Devdondidit, Devon

Saunders, spent the weekendsleeping on a rooftop in Plumsteadto raise awareness of the challen-ges homeless people face in winter.

His #WeDidIt Winter Campaignsaw Saunders living on a rooftoplast week from Thursday to Sun-day, braving the colder Cape Townweather, to collect 15 000 items ofwarm clothing or blankets.

On just the first night, Saunders

received donations of 7500 blan-kets.

“It’s quite an eye opener to sleepon the street. This is what peopleexperience every day. These peo-ple live with the wind, rain andstreet noise on a day to day basis,”he says.

Saunders was joined by a hand-ful of street people who kept himcompany during the night.

“You appreciate what you havewhen you listen to them. Thesepeople have nothing, but are stillgrateful. They don’t even have acup of coffee to keep them warm.”

By partnering with Faith, Hopeand Charity – a non-profit compa-ny – Saunders hopes to tap into the55 000 strong audience that watch-

es his content across various socialmedia platforms on a weekly basis.The #WeDidIt campaign video waslaunched on Tuesday last week,with a strong call to action forCapetonians to join in social mediaactivism and support the homelessthrough the campaign.

Saunders started out doing vid-eos, charitable campaigns, pranksand questionnaires in 2015. Afterthe success of the 2015 Winter Cam-paign, which was called the WarmBlanket Challenge, Devon has de-cided to make the challenge biggerto see if he can assist in a more sub-stantial way.

Says Saunders: “I’ve been fortu-nate that some of my videos reachwell over 100 000 views and I

thought I could use my platform tonot only bring a bit of laughter, butalso for the greater good to bringwarmth to our world.”

A recently released study by theCity of Cape Town found therewere more than 7000 homeless peo-ple in Cape Town. Of these, 4800were living on the streets while therest were in or assumed to be livingin shelters.

The study, led by the director-ate’s researcher, Lynn Hendricks,found that out of 1700 homeless in-terviewees, females only made up20 percent of those living on thestreets.V Watch the campaign video at Devdon-didit www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA-eYBnFVIxY

The Keith Grainger Memorial UCT OpenSquash Championships concluded onFriday 29 April after kicking off a week

earlier.The tournament is named after Keith be-

cause of his input to squash at UCT between1999 and 2001, despite his cancer and havinghis legamputated.Hedied inSeptember 2001during his third year at UCT. He went toUCT as an amputee, but still loved squash,and made his main focus at UCT being partof the squash club and contributing as besthe could. He would go on court (with an arti-ficial leg) and hit balls to beginners and helpthem with their technique. He was also cen-trally involved with organising the firstUCT Squash Tour to the USA in December2000, and went on the tour as manager – alsoplaying a couple of matches en route.

The tournament is a reminder of the spiritof Keith and his amazing squash crazy fami-ly. Keith’s sister, Natalie, a former worldno.1 squash player, supports the tourna-ment from the USA and is instrumental inraising funds and profile for the event. Jeanand Chris, Keith’s parents, donate trophiesand continue to show case the event from Jo-hannesburg. Jean, a former British Openand Current World Masters Champion inher age group, is very active on and off thecourt and continues to promote the game allover the world.

A record number of participants enteredthe 11th running of the event with 132 menand 49 women players representing 19 na-tions. Twenty international players fromGermany, Nigeria, Egypt, England, Austria,France, South Korea, Canada, Argentina,Kuwait and Iraq competed against 30 SouthAfricans in the main PSA draws.

The tournament caters for all ages, fromthe professional players in the main drawsright down to the boys u.11 section. Thisyear the tournament has partnered with WPMasters and sees the event including the WPMasters Open in it, resulting in 53 Mastersplayers playing in the event with the oldestplayer being a 75-year-old.

In the Women’s PSA main draw final,Egyptian u.17 no.1 player, Rowan Elarabytook 43 minutes to beat South African no.5Milnay Louw, 3-1 to win her second PSAtournament in two weeks. It was the firstgame she had lost in eight matches on SouthAfrican soil. Louw was also tested for thefirst time this week and both players showed

great athleticism and speed moving eachother around the court. Louw never gave upand kept the intensity resulting in the thirdgame win for her but Elaraby showed herclass and amazing temperament for a 15-year-old player clinching the fourth game11-9.

The men’s main draw saw no.2 seed AqeelRehman and, Austrian no.1, beat unseededEgyptian Hesham Mohamed Aly 3-1 in anhour. After winning the first game 11-4, Reh-man found himself 3-8 down in the secondgame after Mohamed Aly raised to an earlylead, never giving up he fought his way to9-9 and then went point for point eventuallyclinching the second 15-13. Mohamed Alyagain started the third game quickly easinginto a lead and this time he hung on securingthe game win. Rehman bounced back andshowed some amazing skills of fetching anda steady temperament closing off the match3-1 to win his eighth PSA final.Other winners on the evening in the
