Informal traders find new homeLIAM MOSES
THE first informal businesshub in the Southern Suburbs
has opened up in Wynberg, justin time for the Christmas rush.
The Wynberg Arcade, at 207 MainRoad, officially opened its doors onFriday December 16 but has beentrading since Tuesday December13.
The Arcade is the brainchild ofSekou Kaba, a Wynberg residentwho moved to South Africa from Li-beria in 1996.
According to Kaba, he started thebusiness because he noticed a needin the area and thought it was agood business opportunity.
“I had another market in LongStreet that was called the AfricanWoman’s Market. I closed thatdown and decided to open this,”said Kaba.
“I opened this market to help meand also to help the other people
who are selling in the street. Thereis no place for them to go, there isno place for them to sell – I can seethere is a lot of demand for this.”
Not all of the stores inside themarket have been completed, butthere will enough space to house 26informal traders once constructionhas finished.
The tenants at the market cur-rently include a barber, a cellphonerepair shop, cafe, tailor, cosmeticsstore, African cuisine restaurant,internet cafe and a Rastafarianshop.
According to Kaba, a doctor willalso be setting up shop once thebuilding has been completed.
The entrance to the arcade isbarely noticeable from Main Road,but there is a large open area at therear of the building.
Kaba says that he has grand plansfor this space.
“We’re going to start a car washin the back where people can comeand have their cars cleaned,” said
Kaba.“I also want to start a fleamarket
outside on Saturdays so that peoplecan come and sell whatever theywant to sell for free. It’s an opportu-nity for people in the neighbour-hood to sell what they have.
Much like the area around it, themarket is a diverse place. The ten-ants are from all over Africa, in-cluding Rwanda, the DemocraticRepublic of Congo, Ghana andSouth Africa, and the products andservices on sale are equally eclec-tic.
Francois Schoeman, a 26-year-old, runs a Rastafarian store whichsells clothing, caps, music and me-dicinal herbs, amongst otherthings.
Before setting up his store in thearcade, oneof only threeSouthAfri-cans who operate there, Schoemansold his products from a stand near-by. “You have to give any new busi-ness time. It needs about six monthsto start being successful,” said Sch-
oeman. “It’s an investment and youhave to use your mind to get moneyfor yourself. This is part of our life-style as Rastafarians; to be self em-ployed, to be self-sufficient and to beself-sustainable.”
Daniel Pecku, a 28-year-old Clare-mont resident who moved to SouthAfrica from Ghana eight years ago,runs the internet cafe at the Arcade.
Pecku previously worked at an-other internet cafe in Claremont be-fore he started the business herewith the help of his brother.
According to Pecku, the arcade isthe perfect location for an internetcafe.
“I know how to set up a businessand I know how to make money,”said Pecku.
“This place is busy. It’s near aPick ’n Pay, a pharmacy, and closeto the Main Road. I don’t think Iwould have chosen any otherplace.” According to Kaba, onlythere is only space for two more ten-ants in the building.
NIGHT LIFE: TheAdderley Streetnight market kickedoff last night andprovides the perfectopportunity to enjoythe Mother City’sfestive lights. It willrun every night (except Christmas)from 19:00 to midnight till Friday 30December. Thereare 180 stalls withan array of goodiesto buy. Safe parkingand medical staffwill be on hand.

Silky smooth ideas will aid economySPOIL someone this Christmasand buy them something in Afri-can silk that has been locallymade and will positively impactSouth Africa’s job creation agen-da.
The silk can be bought fromTsakani House, which was the firstsilk producing and manufacturingcompany in South Africa. The com-pany pioneered the concept of Afri-can silk and launched the first silkduvet in 1994.
The Tsakani product range in-cludes both wild and cultivated silkproducts.
“The silks are hand spun, woven,dyed, painted and unique in charac-ter, unlike silk produced elsewherein the world,” says Moeka Ellis, theowner of Tsakani House.
“Wild African silk is derivedfrom the Gonometa Postica, a spe-cies endemic to the desert regionsof Southern Africa. The cocoons areharvested in Acacia veld of the Ka-lahari. The silk is fawn coloured,textured with a soft sheen.”
Their product range includes cot-ton on silk duvets, silk on silk du-vets, summer silk quilts, silk pil-lows, silk bed linen, silk blankets,silk clothing, hand woven silkscarves and stoles, hand woven silkdécor products, hand painted silkaccessories and silk teddy bears.
Tsakani House has appeared andreceived recognition for its prod-ucts in several national and localpublications and TV programmesas well as receiving the 2009 Nation-
al Craft Award for excellence in tex-tiles. Ellis says Tsakani Housestarted the business with three fulltime workers and 16 part timecrafts people and has since grown.
She says challenges faced includethe economic downturn, which in-fluenced their turn-over negative-ly.
“The support of our existing cli-ent base is very crucial to maintain-ing a steady income,” she says.
“New clients are becoming fewer,as Tsakani is a niche brand in silkproducts and appeals to upper in-come groups and the tourist trade.”
The business chose to become aProudly South African member be-cause it felt it was bringing aunique South Africa product pro-
file to Proudly South African.“South African crafts people oper-ate on the fringes of our economyand Tsakani strives to bring theminto the fold by creating work op-portunities and thus gets to show-case their talent.”
She urged people to follow theirdreams.
“South Africans can do it forthemselves. We have the talent andthe creativity to produce worldclass products, so buy proudly.”
Regarding job creation, sshe said:“We have so much untapped talent.Reinstate the textile/clothing man-ufacturing to South Africa – we can-not compete with cheap Asian im-ports, which are destroying our tex-tile industry and valuable jobs.”

Residents inthe pictureLIAM MOSES
THE Bergvliet, Kreupelbosch andMeadowridge Neighbourhood Watch,better known as BKM Watch, has allbut reached its goal of installing 20 se-curity cameras at strategic points inthe area.
The watch launched the cameraproject at the end of September, whenthey announced plans to raise overR500 000 from residents and business-es in the area, and have the camerasinstalled at 10 points in the neighbour-hood.
To date, BKM watch has raised overR450 000, which has been used to pur-chase 14 of the cameras and install twoof them at one of the preselected loca-tions.
According toRobKaye, chairpersonof the BKM watch, the cameras willhelp BKM to fight crime by providingvaluable information to police and toits own patrollers.
“First of all, when an incident oc-curs we will be able to review the foot-age and act on likely vehicles, and feedthe information from the footage backto SAPS,” said Kaye.
“We will also be able to act on sensi-tive information given to us from oth-er neighbourhood watches or SAPS onvehicles that are either suspicious orknown to be stolen. We will be able toreact when a vehicle enters the BKMarea.”
Each of the 10 points has been select-ed as a result of consultation with theDiepriver and Kirstenhof SAPS, andwill have two different types camerasinstalled.
One will be a standard CCTV cam-era, which patrollers will be able tomonitor from a standard TV in theirown homes, and the other will be a Li-cence Place Recognition (LRP) cam-era operated by software on comput-ers in the BKM control room.
The LRP cameras will check everysingle licence plate it reads against adatabase of licence plate numberswhich are wanted by the police. If a li-cence plate wanted by the police is dis-covered, a text message and/or emailwill be sent to the appropriate policestation.
According to Kaye, these camerascould also be set to identify faces if thewatch discovered that more crimewas being committed on foot.
The first set of cameras was in-stalled earlier in December, but, ac-cording to the watch, it has not beensmooth sailing.
Some of the problems experiencedwith the camera include having tosource alternative buildings to installthe cameras after the structures thatwere initially selected were found tobeunsuitable, andhaving to install ex-tra technology to ensure that the sig-nal from the cameras to the BKM basewas not broken by the large numberof trees in the area.
“We have still been putting in thesoftware and the various technolo-gies, so we haven’t had any feedback(from the first camera) as yet,” saidKaye.
“But we should have everything upand running by the fist week January.And we should have some feedback onit by then.”
Kaye added that the cameras wouldbe installed at the other seven posi-tions by Sunday 1 January.
REYANA STEYN
MANENBERG police are urg-ing parents to ensure theirchildren’s safety by equippingthem with the necessary skillsto protect themselves.
This message is imperative asschool holidays are now in fullswing.
Brigadier Andre van Dyk,Manenberg police station com-missioner, says children andteenagers need to be kept occu-pied so they do not get involvedin wrong activities such as gangs,drugs and alcohol.
“With school holidays here, allmeasures need to be put in placefor our children to be safe. Chil-dren should always be in a safeenvironment and well looked af-ter at all times.”
Van Dyk says there are variouschildren holiday programmesavailable in all communities.
He says police will do their bestto protect all children, but the re-sponsibility lies with parents too.“Children should not be allowedto walk alone and unsupervisedin malls and areas where theycould fall prey.”
Parents should check on theirchildren to ensure they are super-vised by responsible and trustedadults.
“Child abuse remains a majorpriority and it is also found thatabuses are taking place in thecomfort and security of homes,making it very difficult for policeto curb,” he says.
“If any adults spot childrenwho are unsupervised and in dan-ger, even if they are not their chil-dren, they should take action and
protect that child.”All children should know and
follow these five “golden rules” tosafeguard themselves:
. Do not get into a stranger’scar.
. Do not take sweets, money ortoys from a stranger.
. Do not open doors to stran-gers.
. Always tell your parents orguardians where you are goingand when you will be back
. Do not allow anybody totouch your body in places thatmake you feel uncomfortable –and if somebody tries, tell some-body.
“Incidents of any abuse must bereported by children and teenag-ers; children should also knowthe difference between a long-term friend and a short-term ac-quaintance, so they don’t get con-
fused and think it’s okay whenthey are abused,” says Van Dyk.
Parents who discover that theirchildren are involved in illegalactivity should seek help and as-sistance.
“The police are here to help,and we will be able to give guid-ance,” says Van Dyk.
“We would like to build a part-nership that will ensure the safe-ty of all children and women – tostop mothers from seeing theirchildren being murdered and toensure that every child gets toknow that they are part of thegreat people of the area.”
To report any crimes againstchildren or for any assistance,you are welcome to contact theManenberg Police Station on(021) 699-9400 or your nearest po-lice station, you can also call10111.

Greasy problem costs City R60mFATS, cooking oils, grease, foodscrapings or

The City incurs around R60 millionannually to clear sewer blockagesacross the city, many of which arecaused by these substances.
The city says attempts to dissolvethe substances by pouring boilingwater down the sink doesn’t work asthey will solidify further down thepipeline.
This results in:. Blocked sewers. Sewer pump failures. Sewage overflows. Damage to municipal infrastruc-
ture
. Reducedefficiencyofwastewatertreatment facility (hence the infra-structure’s high operation and main-tenance costs.)
. Unhygienic and unhealthy con-ditions in contravention of the City’senvironmental health by-laws,which state that no person mustcause or allow any land or premises,that he is responsible for, to becomeso foul and filthy that it poses a healthrisk.
The Water Pollution Control Unitof the Water and Sanitation Depart-ment appeals to businesses to assistin reducing or eradicating theseproblems by:
. Ensuring that all foreign objectsare disposed of in refuse bins/skips.
. Scraping leftovers into a refusebin before washing the plates, pans

Buying local gifts boost economy’THE Cape Chamber of Commerce and Indus-try has called on locals to adopt a more crea-tive and patriotic approach to Christmas giftshopping this year.
Michael Bagraim, president of the cham-ber, said Capetonians should avoid purchas-ing imported products and by South Africaninstead.
He said a locally produced gift could be justas rewarding and help to boost the South Af-rican economy as well.
“Instead of buying some imported product,why not spend the money on, say, a seasonticket for the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra,theatre or ballet tickets or a painting by a lo-cal artist?” asked Bagraim.
“These gifts may not make pretty parcelsunder a Christmas tree but they will bemeaningful presents and in every case theywill be supporting local entrepreneurs whilethey create jobs and boost the local econo-my.”
“For the kind of presents that will wrap upwell, do some of your shopping at a local craftmarket where you can buy anything from or-
naments and jewellery to a bottle of straw-berry jam or a box of fudge.” The chamberrepresents the interests of businesses of allsizes around the city. Bagraim suggestedthat instead of bottles of whisky for clients,businesses could give vouchers for meals atselected restaurants, spa treatments, concerttickets or a car valet service. More intimategifts could include a new set of polishednails, beauty treatments or even eyelash ex-tensions, while masculine gifts could be gymmemberships, golf lessons or tickets to a testmatch at Newlands. Educational gifts couldinclude magazine subscriptions, greencards, visits to the planetarium, aquarium,zoo or safari park, and adventure gifts couldinvolve a trip up Table Mountain, a para-chute jump, paraglider flight or a scenic tripround the Peninsula in a motorbike-sidecarcombination. Bagraim said the chamber wasconvinced that this approach would injectmore fun into the festive season and get peo-ple thinking about supporting local busi-ness, particularly small ones run by enter-prising owner-managers.

GIVEN a choice, I wouldchoose sunsets over sun-rises – getting out of bed at05:30 in summer is noteasy.That iswhyIwait forwinter sunrises – the suntops the Tygerberg hills ata respectable 07:30.
Capturing either a sunriseor sunset is always en-hanced by an extra elementinyour frame.The sungoingdown over the sea off Cliftonwill give you exactly thesame scene as one from thebeach at Swakopmund or Al-exander Bay or somewherein Hawaii: the horizon ofsea, the sun and a beautifulred sky. But throw into thatmix a passing ship, your bet-ter half silhouetted againstthe sky, a fishing boat drawnup on the beach, or a skeinof birds flying by, then youhave a sunset of which youcan be proud.
Inland sunsets from, say,somewhere in the Karoo willlook very similar to thescrubland of the AmericanBadlands or Outer Mongolia– a flat, featureless and bor-ing expanse. Again, findsomething that will addthat little extra to thescene, such as an Aloe, atree or your significantother again, but it must beidentifiable. The side of ahouse silhouetted againstthe sun will be a square-edged black block, but theone recognises the Pyra-mids. A rocky outcropwill be an amorphousblob, but a known moun-tain, perhaps, or the fa-miliar shape of a tractoror plough or a tree will en-hance your scene better.
To enrich the sunsettake it off Daylight or Au-to White Balance, andchange it to Shade. Yes, Iknow the sun is shining, buttrust me, this will warm up
your scene.Your endeavours need not
end with the actions of thesun – the moon is just as pho-togenic.
Remember to use your tri-pod at all times as your expo-
sure times may be a little toolong for successful hand-held shots.

Rudd added that Nedbank was lookingforward to contributing to the communi-ties of Mitchell’s Plain and Wynberg.
“This is just another way Nedbank con-tinues to give back to communities inwhich we operate. We are very excitedabout this latest addition of the NedbankMitchells Plain and Wynberg PersonalLoans Branches. We look forward to mak-ing things happen together,” said Rudd.

TAKING A (SEXY) STAND: On Saturday 20 August more than 2 000 Capetonians marched under the banner of the SlutWalk – a worldwideprotest phenomenon – filling thestreets with chants of “we wearwhat we want” and “real men donot rape”, their banners proclaiming “proud slut”, “rapists rape people, not outfits” and “we are so angry we made a poster”. The SlutWalk started as a response to aToronto police officer’s comment inJanuary that “women should avoiddressing like sluts in order not tobe victimised”, and took a standagainst the belief that women whodress in a certain way were “askingfor it”.

Successful tournament draws to an endSuccessful tournament draws to an endLYNN PRINS
TURFHALL Stadium erupted withcheers on Saturday when locals
flocked to witness an exciting SoftballJunior Women’s World Championship(JWWC) final between their favourites,Japan and the US.
The US, who were crowned champions ofthe 2007 Softball Junior Women’s WorldChampionship, had a tough match againstJapan, but eventually won when, in the fifthinning, Cheyanne Tarango hit a grandslamhome run over the fence.
People’sPost is themediapartnerof theJW-WC.
Japan kept composure and fought back butonly managed to score one run, which led tothe US being crowned champions again forthe fourth time.
It was not easy for the US in the play-offs,since they faced Japan on Friday and lost thegame, sending Japan straight to the final.
Japan was then the only undefeated teamand the only team to have beaten the US.
The champions had to then face ChineseTaipei on Saturday to stand a chance to bein the final, where they successfully beat Chi-
nese Taipei 12-3.ChineseTaipei,whohadalso facedAustral-
ia in the play-offs on Friday, reduced the Aus-
sies to tears when they were defeated 3-2, andin the end hopeful Chinese Taipei came thirdin the tournament, winning bronze for the
second time.The rest of the teams who all made play-offs
were Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bra-zil, and China.
Apart from experiencing joy and disap-pointment, players also found it difficult say-ing goodbye as the tournament ended. Manyfriendships were formed, and Cape Townproved just how well they can host an inter-national event.
The closing ceremony was done in style,and the guests were yet again entertained –just as in the opening ceremony.
Limited Edition, a group of drummers,showed off their talents to the crowd, receiv-ing a standing ovation.
Beng Choo Low, International Softball Fed-eration Secretary General, thanked South Af-ricans and the people of Cape Town for theiroutstanding support, and praised NooreNacerodien, head of local organising commit-tee, along with his team for the efforts in mak-ing the ISF ninth JWWC Under 19 tourna-ment a success.
The tournament was also described as oneof the best by many coaches, and Nacerodiensaid that Softball South Africa will be biddingfor the 2016 Senior World Championship.
He wished the teams well and a safe jour-ney home.
