On Wednesday 2 March, at approximately 05:00, the ADT patroller was knocked down on the corner of Breda and Doordrift roads. After a resident spotted a damaged Uno Fiat in the area, Diep River police officers traced and arrested the 26-year-old owner of the car and charged him with culpable homicide. Constantia resident Ian Glass expressed his concern at the lack of speed entrapment in the “accident-prone” road. “I have only seen speed trapping once in the past 10 years; it may have been done more of- ten, but it needs to be more visible,” says Glass. “Many vehicles, including taxis, go like crazy down this road. “Several side roads feed onto Doordrift Road and getting onto it is sometimes quite dangerous. There is a dip where the road crosses the Diep River intersection, and peo- ple are often tempted to speed through it. If people come at reasonable speed one has time to react, but not if they are going too fast,” says Glass. He said the main problems on the road oc- cur in the early morning and late afternoon – during peak hour – when there were a lot of taxis and delivery vehicles using the road. The concern of the resident is not that there are no speed humps or roundabouts, but rath- er that there are too few speed traps to help enforce the legal speed limit. Ward councillor Neil Ross says speed traps are set up occasionally. “They do help. People are aware of them and don’t speed as much as they normally would. “However, it is a question of whether the traffic department has the personnel to do it,” he says. Ward 73 councillor Carol Bew says that be- cause the road is narrow and has some twists and turns, it can be a danger for traffic com- ing out of the linking roads. “On my list of things to discuss with the traffic department is the need for a stop sign or some precautionary measure on this road,” she says. Joan Heming, a former member of the Con- stantia Property Owners’ Association who regularly uses Doordrift Road, regards the road as “dangerous”. “It carries a lot more heavy traffic than it used to, mainly because it is a link between the shopping centres of Gabriel Road and Constantia Village. Trucks transporting goods between the two roads are causing great damage to Doordrift Road.” Its construction specifications when it was built were for a residential road, carrying lightweight local traffic and not heavy trucks, which are causing the edges to break up as it is a narrow road, and they need to drive over the unmade edges. Heming adds that “the weight of heavy trucks is causing the road to buckle and cre- ate potholes, therefore the council should consider lowering the speed limit from 60km/ h”. Spokesperson for traffic services, Merle Lourens, says they have not received many complaints in the area. “If we do get a complaint, we will open a case and visit the area to check it out.” She explained that certain factors have to be taken into account for speed checking. “We will only be able to do speed checking in a particular road if the space is big enough to set up the camera. If not, we can’t enforce it.” There also has to be enough space for the police officer to stop a speeding vehicle “or it will create a danger for other road users”, she says. The Cape Academy of Performing Arts (CAPA) which is based in Tokai is presenting What a Won- derful World at the Art- scape Theatre from Fri- day 4 March until Sunday 13 March.

What goes around ...THEPicknPayArgusCycleTourtaking place on Sunday 13March is much more than a cy-cling event. There are the ardentpodium racers, the social cy-clists and a significant numberof entrants who cycle for chari-ties.
Within this diverse group of cy-clists you will find the most fasci-nating people with the biggesthearts.
This year there’s a team of 75 rid-ers cycling for The Chaeli Cam-paign in Plumstead. Some are rais-ing funds for specific individualswith disabilities and others for anynumber of current Chaeli Cam-paign programmes.
Last year CEO Zelda Mycroft en-tered with a hand cycle due to a knee opera-tion not allowing sufficient rotation to ridea conventional bicycle.
This experience inspired Mycroft to ap-proach Pedal Power for a donation to pur-chase two more hand cycles so that the expe-rience could be shared by those who cannotride conventional bicycles.
This year, Mukhtar Lee and Tracy Cohen,who both have significant physical disabili-ties and cannot ride conventional bicycles,will be joining Mycroft and riding for TheChaeli Campaign.
Lee is a second year marketing student atthe Cape Peninsula University of Technolo-gy (CPUT) in Bellville and an avid sports-man, playing tennis, basketball, table tennisand pool.
He started ballroom and Latin Americandancing at the age of nine. Lee has spasticdiaplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that af-fects the muscles in the lower limbs, and us-es crutches to help him walk.
Last year Cohen raised sponsorship as aghost rider for The Chaeli Campaign and as-sists with fundraising, social media updatesand administrative duties at The ChaeliCampaign.
She is cerebral palsied, walks with diffi-culty and yet has the passion and drive to
make a difference in the lives of others.This year she set herself the challenge of
raising R10 000 for 10km and has already hither R10 000 goal. What now lies ahead is thephysical challenge of completing 10km of theCycle Tour route along the Blue Route. Amighty challenge for her and one she is de-termined to meet.
The three intrepid hand cyclists will beraising funds in support of the newly found-ed Chaeli Sports and Recreation Club, whichoffers weekly practices in karate, ballroomand Latin dancing and boccia, a ball gamefor athletes in wheelchairs.
Exercise is important to build strength formobility and The Chaeli Campaign Sportsand Recreation Club will be holding a 4kmfun Walk for Wheels on Friday 25 Marchstarting at 17:00 at the Bergvliet Sports Asso-ciation in Bergvliet.
This event is being held to raise awarenessof the positive role that people with disabili-ties have to play in society. Individuals orteams of four or more people may enter.

Hit and runsuspect arrestedTAURIQ HASSEN
NEIGHBOURHOOD watch patrollers inConstantia played a key roll in the arrest ofa driver after an ADT bicycle patroller wasrun down and killed.
The ADT patroller was knocked down onthe corner of Breda and Doordrift Roads inConstantia on Wednesday 2 March, at 05:00.
Wayne Weiman, chairman of the BKMNeighbourhood Watch, said they werecalled out to the scene and found parts of thecar strewn on the ground.
“Very significantly, we found a headlightof the car and some other parts, which wethen looked into in order to find the guiltyparty,” says Weiman.
Later that morning, the neighbourhoodwatch members studied private and com-mercial video footage from cameras situat-ed along the road.
It was discovered that the headlight andother parts belonged to a Fiat Uno.
This information was then communicatedto the community.
“We then sent out emails and radio mes-sages to everybody who might have spotteda damaged Fiat Uno,” Weiman explains.
Later, a resident responded, claiming thatshe had spotted a damaged Uno pulling into
the driveway at a complex in Bergvliet.Patrollers were then sent out to the com-
plex, where the police were contacted to ar-rest the suspect.
“Police arrested the man as he was leavingthe complex that morning,” says Weiman.
CaptainJohn Saayman, spokesperson forthe Diep River Police Station, confirmedthe arrest of a 26-year-old man from Bergvli-et.
“He was arrested on the scene and is beingcharged with culpable homicide,” says Saay-man.
He appeared in the Cape Town Magis-trate’s Court on Friday 4 March, where thecase was postponed for further investiga-tion.
Rob Dale, Regional Managing Director ofADT Security Western Cape, thanked theSAPS, medical response and all BKM mem-bers for their assistance in the matter.
“We have contacted his next of kin and ourthoughts are with his family at this difficulttime,” says Dale.
Weiman adds: “We too wish to extend ourcondolences to his family and wish to com-mend those involved in tracking down thedriver of the vehicle and support the policein their investigation into these tragicevents.”
THE phrase “rule of thumb” issaid to derive from the 18th centu-ry belief that English law allowed
a man to beat his wife with a stick so longas it is was no thicker than his thumb. –(www.phrases.org)

Discover how galaxies are formedTHE South African Astronomical Observ-atory in Cape Town will have a public lec-ture, “Unravelling the Mystery of GalaxyFormation and Evolution”, on Saturday12 March at 20:00.
The talk will be presented by Dr Bonitade Swardt, a post-doctoral research fellowat the SA Astronomical Observatory.
De Swardt’s research interests are incharacterising the faintest galaxies in theuniverse.
At first glance, astronomers character-ise galaxies into different stages of evolu-tion based on visual appearance or mor-phology.
However, this visual characterisation
is not always clear cut, and can stronglydepend on the wavelength at which thegalaxy is observed or its immediate envi-ronment.
With the development of larger, moresensitive telescopes, more clues can be ob-tained on how galaxies may have formedand evolved.
After the talk there will be stargazing,weather permitting, as well as tours of thelibrary and the McClean museum.
Public lectures are free and there is noneed to book.
Formoredetails, call theSAAstronomi-cal Observatory on (021) 460-9319 or visitwww.saao.ac.za.

Hit and runsuspect arrestedTAURIQ HASSEN
NEIGHBOURHOOD watch patrollers inConstantia played a key roll in the arrestof a driver after an ADT bicycle patrollerwas run down and killed.
The ADT patroller was knocked down onthe corner of Breda and Doordrift Roads inConstantia on Wednesday 2 March, at 05:00.
Wayne Weiman, chairman of the BKMNeighbourhood Watch, said they werecalled out to the scene and found parts of thecar strewn on theground.
“Very signifi-cantly, we found aheadlight of the carand some otherparts, which wethen looked into in order to find the guiltyparty,” says Weiman.
Later that morning, the neighbourhoodwatch members studied private and com-mercial video footage from cameras situatedalong the road.
It was discovered that the headlight andother parts belonged to a Fiat Uno.
This information was then communicatedto the community.
“We then sent out emails and radio mes-sages to everybody who might have spotteda damaged Fiat Uno,” Weiman explains.
Later, a resident responded, claiming that
she had spotted a damaged Uno pulling intothe driveway at a complex in Bergvliet.
Patrollers were then sent out to the com-plex, where the police were contacted to ar-rest the suspect.
“Police arrested the man as he was leavingthe complex that morning,” says Weiman.
Captain John Saayman, spokesperson forthe Diep River Police Station, confirmedthe arrest of a 26-year-old man from Bergvli-et.
“He was arrested on the scene and is beingcharged with culpable homicide,” says Saay-
man.He appeared in the
Cape Town Magis-trate’s Court on Fri-day 4 March, wherethe case was post-poned for further in-
vestigation.Rob Dale, Regional Managing Director of
ADT Security Western Cape, thanked theSAPS, medical response and all BKM mem-bers for their assistance in the matter.
“We have contacted his next of kin and ourthoughts are with his family at this difficulttime,” says Dale.
Weiman adds: “We too wish to extend ourcondolences to his family and wish to com-mend those involved in tracking down thedriver of the vehicle and support the policein their investigation into these tragicevents.”
PATROLLERS PLAY KEY ROLE IN ARREST

Dumper caught in the actTAURIQ HASSEN
A BUILDING contractor wascaught red-handed dumping apile of construction rubble out-side the Constantia Cemeteryin Parish Road last week.
The dumper was spotted by twopeople at the samevenueandevenreturned to dump a second load atthe site on Wednesday 2 March.
A freelance photographer wason hand to capture the deed onfilm.
A witness, who wished to re-main anonymous, was in theprocess of delivering a car in thearea when he came across thewhite Isuzu bakkie depositing thewaste.
The witness stopped and re-versed his car to approach thedriver of the bakkie.
“He just looked at me, smiledand then drove off, as if the matterwas not serious at all,” says thewitness.
After witnessing the incident,he then contacted the People’sPost to report the matter.
People’s Post then requestedthat photographer Clifford Wyethvisit the location in order for pic-tures to be taken of the dump pile.
When Wyeth arrived at the site,the driver had returned to dumphis second load of rubble.
Wyeth explained that the build-ing contractor was “embarrass-ingly” making it clear that therubble was only being dumpedtemporarily.
“When they saw me, they want-ed to drive away quickly,” saysWyeth.
Despite the City of Cape Town-managed, Kendal Road dumpingfacility being approximately 500metres away, the building con-tractor said he would have therubble removed on Friday 4March.
Paul Painter, maintenancemanagerat a retirementvillage inParish Road, confirmed that therubble dumped in Constantia wasfrom the village, as “major con-struction is currently takingplace”.
Painter was aware of the con-tractor’s actions at the time, butmade it clear that they were only“temporarily” storing the rubbleat this location, despite not gain-ing council permission.
He explained that the rubblewas only stored at the specificspot, as it would be carted off tothe nearest dump site at the endof the week.
“This was a once-off thing andit will never happen again, so I re-ally don’t know what the fuss isall about,” says Painter.
He said this was the norm forbuilders on site, but confirmedthat they have since stopped thispractice.
He said instead of waiting untilthe end of the week they removedthe builder’s rubble alongsideParish Road on the same day.
As a solution, Painter emptiedout a garage inside the village,where the rubble would bedumped before being removed atthe end of the week.
“The dump pile has been re-moved already and we receivedno complaints from anybody,”says Painter.
But the witness was disgustedby the actions: “It’s ridiculousthat this driver thought he couldjust get away with something likethis”.
Ward Councillor Neil Ross,found the actions of the buildingcontractor “a complete disgrace”.
“It’s unbelievable that peoplewho are established building con-tractors dump wherever theyplease,” says Ross.
Although dumping is not a ma-jor problem in the Constantia ar-ea, Ross explained that there isvery little that can be done to pre-vent dumping.
“We are heavily dependant onthe goodwill of people to reportthese matters to council.”
Ross highlighted that the Kend-al Road dumping facility could beclosed down later this year, whichcould introduce further problemsfor council.
Although no time frames for therelocation of the facility could beconfirmed, Ross added that coun-cil has already begun discussionspossible solutions for a newdumping site.
“With the site closing, we notsure if builders will go to theneighbouring dump sites and thiscould mean that they wouldchoose to dump everywhere elsein the area,” says Ross.
Other municipal dumping sitesare situated in Retreat and Wyn-berg.

Young musicianshead for ChinaGERDA VON BENECKE
THERE are a few reasons why 13learners from Wynberg Girls’High School can’t wait to get to Be-ijing, China, in July.
For Robyn Lassen it’s all about “ex-panding horizons”. Jessica Davids,on the other hand, would love to seethe Great Wall of China, while HelenSlater is looking forward to learninghow to play her instrument thatmuch better.
And for Yeji Jung – well, someonesaid something about “cheap shop-ping”.
Four Western Cape schools, includ-ing Wynberg Girls’ High School,Bergvliet High, Alexander Sintonand Heathfield High, have been invit-ed to the 2011 Tutti World Youth Mu-sic Tour that will be taking place inBeijing.
This non-competitive event, ac-cording to information on the Tuttiwebsite, will give a number of inter-national young musicians and sing-ers the opportunity to not only per-form their ownchosen repertoire, butalso undertake a series of masterclasses focusing on improving theirtechnique.
According to Wynberg Girls’ HighSchool spokesperson, Jehan Chikte,the event also brings together an in-ternational music faculty not onlybased on performance capabilities,but also their teaching ability withyoung musicians.
As part of the event’s fundraisingand awareness drive, all four schoolshave performed at the V&A Water-front over weekends, and haveplanned a variety of concerts for thetour which started in October lastyear at Bergvliet High, with perform-ances by The Dirty Skirts, ChadSaaiman and The Rudimentals.
For Valentine’s Day, WynbergGirls’ High School celebrated theirlove of music and raised funds witha concert performed by The Parlo-tones on Monday 14 February.
Heathfield High School (HHS) willbe taking 16 learners, who form the
HHS Jazz Band.Lynn Hannibal, the school’s music
teacher and band leader, says whileshe hopes the learners will be able tomeasure their abilities on an interna-tional scale, she is also looking for-ward to the exposure they will get tomusic from other cultures.
According to Hannibal, the bandeven has its own blog at www.heath-fieldhigh.com, where the public canread up on band members and keepup with their progress and thoughts.Piano-playing Dominico Lategardfrom the HHS Jazz Band, says he justcan’t wait to do some “jamming withthe other musicians”, perhaps evenforming ties with other musicians forfuture prospects.
The Alexander Sinton Jazz Band,with its 18 members, is also headingto China. The band was started in2008 by Ronel Nagfaal, who says whatshe’s most happy about is that the fes-tival will be one huge step in prepar-ing learners for a career in music.
Lezarne Isaacs, violin player forthe Alexander Sinton Jazz Band, saysshe has never interacted with othermusicians before, and that’s exactlywhat she plans on doing on the tour,she says.
Bergvliet High School will be tak-ing 16 of the school’s top musicians.Juniorheadofmusic and senior bandleader, Harlene Veotte, says, exceptfor making connections with musi-cians from right across the world, shealso hopes the students will learn alot about music in terms of tech-niques and musicality.
The Loytiez, a rap and R&B groupof five boys who form part of theBergvliet group going to China, saysthey feel “very privileged and like ...a bit scared”.
Jasper Saayman, music teacher atWynberg Girls’ High School, whowill be taking the learners to China,says the school is “incredibly proudof these girls who have taken thechallenge and opportunity to go toBeijing”. He also wanted to give a bigthank you to the parents who supporttheir daughters in all their concertsand practicing at home and school.

Twentyfiveyears of givingREYANA STEYN
IN CELEBRATION of 25 years of service,the Islamic Social and Welfare Associa-tion (ISWA) will be hosting a gala eventatCapeTownCollege inKromboomRoadon Saturday 12 March.
The anniversary also marks the start of afive-year project for ISWA, which is situatedin Belgravia Estate, to acquire their ownpremises and develop a learning centre fortheir school. ISWA offers counselling servic-es, social intervention strategies, further ed-ucation and training, poverty alleviation(through educational subsidies) and youthand children’s development programmes.
These services are offered to people of allreligions.
ISWA’s doors were first opened in 1986 byNurounihar Minton and Fowzia Ryklief,who are still involved with the organisation.
“The two women saw the need for traumacounselling and the non-profit organisationwas born during the apartheid era. Familieswere dying from abuse and drugs and ISWAdecided they must do something as the com-munities were disintegrating,” says RushdySiers, the CEO of ISWA.
“As they continued to counsel peoplethroughout the years they saw the need todo more to help the communities and starteda few projects.”
In 1987, ISWA rallied to support the inter-national call for the rights of children, be-coming one of many organisations whichrallied to support the Rainbow Children’sDay campaign.
In 1994, ISWA alone carried on the tradi-tion of the Rainbow Children’s Day.
The campaign came to an end in 2004,when theweekendwasdisruptedbya severestorm which hit Cape Town.
A week later an appeal was made to theGreat Moscow Circus and a special showwas staged for more than 1 000 children andtheir caregivers. In 2004, the Minton Schoolof Development was launched to help chil-dren. At the school they offer two-yearcourses in project management for counsel-ling, paralegal counselling financial man-agement and a social auxiliary course. Par-ticipants must have completed matric.Classes are currently held at Athlone HighSchool. With ISWA’s formation of the Sing-Osman Education Fund, the burden of pu-pils who want to attend the school has beenmade lighter, as they receive a bursary andpay only R13 000 instead of the usual R23 000.
ISWA has also introduced a Learn Self-Es-teem Forum.
“We have recognised that many things in-fluence people; the circumstances they livein, drugabuse and familydisintegrationandwe need to look at ways to help in the home,school, working and social environment,”says Siers.
He says the aim is to reach thousands ofpeople for the next 25 years and make a dif-ference in their lives.
“We are in talks with schools to includethis programme in their curriculum.”
Mirza Parker, the gala-event organiser,says he is planning a “great” event with aline-up that includes local talents; GaniefParker and guests, the George Werner Band,LittleGiants, EmilyBruce and flamencoduoWathiq Hussein and Rajissi.
Book a ticket, at R300 per person, by call-ing Mirza Parker on 071 384 1237.
Life reflected in a train rideTERESA FISCHER
TRAIN doors shut on a commuter’sshopping bags … trapping them mo-
mentarily until a fellow passenger opensthe doors.
Just a moment sandwiched in the bustleof a train journey, but recorded on film, itbecomes part of a “metaphor for the jour-ney of life we travel daily”.
“Because life is a journey” is freelancejournalist Munyaradzi Makoni’s observa-tion on the voice over ofhis short documentaryfilm, “Train tunes”.
A man with a weath-er-beaten face sits on atrain platform and has along drink from acooldrink bottle.
“A theatre” is the suc-cinct voice over.
Of commuters whoread on the trains, Ma-koni remarks quietly:“The noise boosts theirunderstanding.”
Makoni recently com-pleted a two-week docu-mentary filmmakingcourse at the Universityof Cape Town.
The course broughttogether five youthsfrom Khayelitsha andthree women from theSaartjie Baartman Centre in Athlone, acentre for abused women. The course wastaught by South African-born Paul Yule, aveteran filmmaker who has producedmore than 31 documentary films on sixcontinents, some of them award-winning.
Each person or team had to produce a
four to five minute film, recording, editingand packaging it.
Makoni says the name of his film refersto the tune that always accompanies atrain journey.
“The tune takes many forms. It could bemusic from blind singers. It can be musicblaring from cellphones that are tweakedto produce the loudest sound.
“It can also be a tune of people turninga train journey into a business enterprise.”
Makoni says he chose the subject of thetrains to awaken peopleto what happens dailywith a lighter look.
And he adds that heloves the trains, in spitethe overcrowding andthe occasional delays.
He adds when you im-agine how many have touse trains, you appreci-ate that they have to usethem, whether they loveit or not.
Makoni says the chal-lenge was getting thebest shot on a movingtrain and confining hisobservations to a film offour minutes and 21 sec-onds.
He adds he would loveto do more of these fasci-nating stories in futureif he had the means.
“Stories focusing on social lives arethings that contribute to our humanness.
“A life that if we look closely is also polit-ical and economic,” he muses.
The film can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_L0sBYpW0A.

EIGHT women from the SaartjieBaartman Centre for Women and Chil-dren – survivors of gender-based vio-lence – have been given a platform toshare their personal battles with do-mestic and sexual violence.
The women were featured in a series ofvideodiaries titled “Beyond theShadow”,which was produced over a three-monthperiod. They provide an intimate look atthe women’s experiences in their rela-tionships, with each one telling her storyin her own words.
The Saartjie Baartman Centre (SBC) of-fershelp towomenandchildrenwhoneedto escape their abusive situations, provid-ing them with shelter, food, emotionalsupport and life and job skills training.
In “Beyond the Shadow”, the eightwomen take the viewer on a journeythrough their lives. Their ups-and-downsare all explored to promote awareness ofthe types of abuse that happens daily.
The women were able to explore differ-ent ways in which they wanted their sto-ries to be told. Being filmed wasn’t easyfor them at first, but as they became com-fortable, they were able to express theiremotions clearer.
“Doing the digital diaries, at first, made
me very scared. I felt humiliated becauseI didn’t want people to know what hap-pened to me.
“My challenge was that I could neverdo it alone; I always had someone with mebecause telling my story made me feellike I was going through it again,” saysone of the women. Their identities cannotbe revealed for safety reasons.
Irma Maharaj, a researcher at SBC,says a “diary room” was set up where thewomen could record their daily thoughtsand experiences.
“Just talking about their experienceshelps with the healing process. It lets oth-er women in abusive relationships knowthat they are not alone and hopefully en-courages them to leave their abusive rela-tionships.
“In the video we tried to mask their fac-es as much as we could and it won’t beshown as widely as we would’ve liked, forthe women’s safety,” she says.
Filmmaker, Shelley Barry, spearhead-ed and facilitated the process, as well astrained participants in film-making. Thevideo diaries reflect the “real and unme-diated experience” the women endured,some for years.
Copies of “Beyond the Shadow” can beobtained from the Saartjie BaartmanCentre. For more information call (021)633-5287.

Broken Glass at the FugardARTHUR MILLER’S interna-tionally acclaimed and haunt-ingly moving Broken Glass willbe on show at The Fugard Thea-tre during March and April.
The play will star Sir AntonySher, a double Olivier Award-win-ning South African-born British ac-tor, writer, theatre director andpainter.
Eric Abraham is the producer,while the play will be directed byJanice Honeyman.
The play is about a major, coordi-nated attack on Jews throughoutGermany on the night of 9 Novem-ber 1938, and into the next day, re-corded in the history books asKristallnacht, or The Night of Bro-ken Glass.
It is regarded by many historiansas one of the events that preempted
the Holocaust.Jewish homes, shops and villages
throughout Germany and parts ofAustria were ransacked, leavingthe streets covered in pieces ofsmashed windows.
Miller’s play, first published in1994, explores themes of guilt, per-sonal tragedy and love in the livesof a Jewish couple living in NewYork in 1938, deeply affected by thehorrific anti-Semitic events of thatominous night.
At the end of last year, Sherstarred in a sell-out season of thedrama at The Tricycle Theatre inLondon. Sher plays Phillip, who ispreoccupied with his job at a WallStreet bank, to the detriment of hisrelationship with his wife Sylvia.She unexpectedly becomes para-lysed after reading newspaper re-ports of Kristallnacht.
The help of Dr Harry Hyman iscalled in, and a relationship be-tween him and Sylvia develops thatcould have impending distressingeffects on the family.
Sher will be joined in the FugardTheatre run by a South Africancast, with Susan Danford in the roleof Sylvia Gellburg.
The rest of the cast includesStephen Jennings, Claire Berlein,Anthea Thompson and Patrick Lys-ter. Broken Glass will be on showfrom Tuesday 22 March to Saturday16 April.
Tickets for Broken Glass rangefrom R120 to R180 and can bebooked through Computicket onwww.computicket.com or throughtheFugardTheatreboxoffice on 021461-4554. Visit the website for fur-ther information www.thefu-gard.com.

Thanks good SamaritansON Tuesday 1 March I enjoyed the mostdelightful experience, which I would liketo share with you. On my way home toClaremont from Constantia at around21:00, the rear wheel of my car hit an ob-ject in the road, causing a blow out.
It was pitch dark in the middle of no-where, and being elderly and knowingthat I was not capable of changing thewheel myself, I engaged my hazard lightsand crept my way through to the nearestgarage, which happened to be CarrhillMotors in Wynberg.
Upon driving onto the forecourt, I no-ticed a municipal solid waste vehicleparked on the premises, and, before I hadeven brought my car to a halt, three gen-tlemen from the waste vehicle surround-ed my car and offered their assistance.
Within a matter of minutes after open-ing the boot of my car, the broken wheelwas removed and the spare wheel wasready to replace it under the guidance ofthe older member of the trio, whom I pre-
sumed to be their leader. The wheel wasduly replaced, the broken wheel returnedto the boot of my car, and all my tools werereplaced within no more than 15 minutes.
During this time very pleasant banterwas exchanged between the three good sa-maritans and my daughter and myself.
They were indeed thorough gentlemenand an absolute credit to their employersand their families.
The cherry on the top was that we hadto persuade them to accept the modest re-ward we were able to give them, insistingthat it had been their pleasure to help me.
Unfortunately I did not get the namesof these three gentlemen, but in thepresent times in which we live it is so re-freshing to know that somewhere outthere are at least three knights – not onwhite horses, but hey, what’s wrong witha solid waste vehicle? Thanks again guys,you are the best.IRENE PIRIEClaremont
Don’t be trigger happyREFERRING to the reportin People’s Post of Tuesday 1March of shots fired at flee-ing robbers.
The home owner and li-censed firearm ownershould know better than toshoot at someone runningaway.
The threat is over and thedanger has passed. There isno need for a person to con-
tinue to shoot. I think it isagainst the gun owner’sguide and the law.
Yes, in the heat of the mo-ment perhaps, the inclina-tion was there to stop them,but if they were no longera threat you should ceaseand desist from shooting.
You may think this arather pious, self-righteousresponse to a rather har-
rowing ordeal, but spare athought if one of the intrud-ershadbeenhit in theback.How would you explainyourself?
If you are going to shootat something, shoot at thetyres of the vehicle so therobbers cannot get awayeasily.JOHN RAYNERBergvliet

Bumpy rideWESTERN CAPE MEC for Transport and Pub-lic Works, Robin Carlisle, boarded a train fromKhayelitsha to Cape Town last week to experi-ence for himself the troubles that frustrate reg-ular commuters.
Fortunately for Metrorail, which is thoughtto have been unaware of the MEC’s trip, every-thing ran smoothly, aside from the fairly emp-ty peak-hour train arriving at its destinationseven minutes late. In reports, Carlisle dubbedthe journey“excellent”whencompared to con-ditions on the same line a year ago.
But while Carlisle’s efforts should be com-mended, his single novelty rail trip cannotcompare to the everyday horrors that mostlypoor commuters are forced to endure.
For them there are no alternatives, and therecent 41c per litre increase in fuel costs maysee their numbers swell in future.
The flood of complaints from frustrated railcommuters seems never-ending. Last year,whenMetrorail increased ticket prices andcit-ed Eskom’s increase in electricity tariffs, im-ported materials used on the railway, labour,and the absence of automated ticket sales asreasons for the price hike, they also promisedto raise service standards with the introduc-tion of better facilities at stations just in timefor the World Cup.
But all too often commuters still find them-selves stuck in overcrowded trains duringpeak-hour, targeted by criminals, and at timesare even forced to disembark and walk to near-by stations alongside railway tracks becausetrains suddenly grind to a halt without any ex-planation. To the average commuter it wouldappear that Metrorail shows no respect to itscustomer. Carslisle has promised to meet withMetrorail to gain answers on faulty doors, se-curity problems and generally poor condi-tions, demanding of Metrorail consistent serv-ice delivery.
National Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndbe-le has promised 8 000 new coaches for the railtransport network, 1 000 of which should besent to the Western Cape by 2015. One can onlyhope there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Until then, commuters face a long roadahead.

JOYRIDE: The annual Community ChestCarnival, which was held at Maynardville Park in Wynberg from Wednesday2 March until Saturday 5 March, celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. Itbegan as a theatrical garden party in1951 and over the past six decades hasevolved into a pageant of internationalfood, local entertainment and familyfun, which attracts more than 100 000people over four days. But there’s a serious side to carnival. It raises funds forsome 400 social welfare organisationsthat the Community Chest supportsacross the Western Cape. “Carnival hasalways been an important showcase forthe Community Chest, where we’re ableto engage the public about the work wedo. It’s also one of our significant fundraising events where people can combine having a good time with helpinga good cause,” says Community Chest CEO, Amelia Jones. It is made possible by the efforts of some 7 000 volunteerswho donate their time and skills to ensure that each year’s event is better than the previous one.Photo: Danielle Karallis

StormersStormers must break barriersmust break barriersTASMIN CUPIDO
GETTING his team psychologicallyready for their Super Rugby clashagainst the Highlanders from New Zea-land will be high on the priority list ofDHL Stormers head coach, Allister Co-etzee, this week.
And with the style of play the Cape sidedisplayed in the scrappy, tryless 21-15 victo-ry over the Toyota Cheetahs last Saturday,he will also be looking at enforcing somekind of game plan.
From the get-go the Stormers neverlooked anything like the final-contestingside of last season, struggling to hold on toa slippery ball in the heat of a Cape Townsummer afternoon.
And the Cheetahs certainly did theirhomework, disrupting the Stormers ever-sure rolling maul and keeping game break-ers such the centre pairing of Juan deJongh and Jean de Villiers out of the match.On a positive note, flyhalf and man of thematch Peter Grant was on song, succeeding
in slotting eight penalties and scoring all 21points for the Stormers. “There are no ex-cuses for the way we played – it was an uglygame and while we can still fix things onthe field, its great that we are winning,” Co-etzee said. “We have a tough week ahead ofus – there are a number of things we needto focus on and psychologically we need toget things right as well.”
TheStormershaveonlymanaged to scoreone try in two matches, so raking in thepoints by visiting behind the chalk line willbe a psychological factor in need of con-quering.
The possible comeback of speedster GioAplon from a knee injury which side-linedhim for the first three weeks of the competi-tion, as well as centre Jaque Fourie, mayassist the Stormers in achieving this goal.And while many will remember the Storm-ers’ 33-0 victory against the Highlandersfrom the south island of New Zealand atNewlands last season, this Highlandersteam has surprised all with their style ofplay and their ability to pace themselves for80 minutes this season. The in-form New
Zealand team currently occupies the topspot on the country conference log and willbe even more boosted after achieving theunthinkable by thumping the VodacomBulls 35-28 at Loftus Versveld on Saturday.
They also kicked off their campaign withvictories over countrymen the Hurricanesand the Chiefs, and are in joint first placeon the combined log.
The likes of flanker Adam Thomson andwinger Kade Poki have been inspiring, dy-namic and in top form for the team, alwaysthreatening and worrying their opponents.
But the real battle on Saturday will prob-ably be between feisty scrumhalfs RickyJanuarie and Jimmy Cowan, who have metat international level a number of times.The distribution, attacking, defensive andkicking games of both players will be apointer to how the rest of the match will go.All in all, the Stormers need to ensure thatthe forwards generate good front-foot ballto their backs, do the basics correctly andthat they dominate up front – something themen in navy blue have lacked in the pasttwo matches.

Elections turn out farce and furiousBRIAN GAFFNEY
THE LFA Cape District’s long-serving presi-dent, Winston Engledoe, survived his closestelection battle at the recent annual meeting,reflecting that all is not well in the once pow-erful association.
Engledoe defeated Nathan Less by 22 votesto 19 tohold on to the reins for a fourth consec-utive two-year term of office, in a contest thatcould have gone either way.
This vote had a ripple effect on the rest ofthe elections, with several candidates with-drawing their nominations at the 82nd annu-al meeting held at the William Herbert hallin Wynberg on Sunday 27 February.
Engledoe, in response to a list of questionsPeople’s Post sent him on Thursday 3 March,preferred not to comment on any of the ques-tions.
“I feel it is best to consult my executivecommittee or general council on whether Ishould respond,” Engledoe said yesterday.
The questions posed were:. Several nominees withdrew from stand-
ing for executive positions – including YusufNacerodien, who withdrew his nomination
for president when he left the meeting early.What are your feelings on this?
. Do you think the reaction would havebeen the same from other nominees if eitherLess or Nacerodien had won the vote?
. Some clubs were allowed to vote withoutthe required credentials and/or being out ofcompliance. Will this set a precedent for fu-ture meetings?
. What strengths will the new-look execu-tive bring to the table?
. What are the priorities for the new execu-tive to tackle?
. How will the LFA Cape District addressthe ongoing concern among soccerclubs – raised at the annual meeting – thatgate incomegenerated entirelyby soccer goesto the Facilities Management Committee(FMC), while the other FMC affiliates likeballroom dancing, walking clubs and dogclubs raiseno incomebutbenefit fromtheuseof the sports complex?
The one-on-one contest between Engledoeand Less arose when Nacerodien – the othercandidate for the president’s position – with-drew his nomination at the time he left themeeting, prior to the elections.
Nacerodien’s move, which caught club del-egates by surprise, came soon after he hadasked whether all clubs were eligible to voteat the meeting.
Nacerodien confirmed yesterday that hewas opposed to clubs that were not in finan-cial compliance – according to the constitu-tion – being allowed to participate in the elec-tions.
“I felt Iwasat adeadendwhen thedelegatesallowed the constitution rules to be broken,”said Nacerodien, a member of the GarlandaleAFC.
Nacerodien also made no secret of the factthat he had no intention of standing down infavour of Less – as had been anticipated – inthe battle for the hot seat.
This bit of intrigue unfolded when Nacero-dien insisted – according to the constitu-tion – that clubs as well as nominees were in-eligible to participate in the elections if theywere not in financial compliance.
Nacerodien’s call for the constitution totake its course would have ruled both Ash-ford Athletic AFC members Engledoe andLess out of the race – making him the only eli-gible nominee for the presidency.
However, the majority of delegates differedwith Nacerodien’s views by accepting thereasons offered by Southampton, Ashford,Spenston and Peninsula for not being squareon the books.
Twists in the contest for two vice-presidentpositions startedwhenRashiedCloete ofBlueBells AFC declined the vice-president (disci-plinary and registrations) position, after poll-ing the most votes in a four-person contest.
Cloete received 16 votes, Elton Lotriet 14and Neil Pietersen 11, while Basil Palanyandireceived no backing. Cloete, after declininga vice-president’s position, said he felt hecould “serve the game better” by taking upthe position of head of competitions. In thelight of this development, Lotriet of Stephani-an AFC was elevated to Cloete’s position.
Pietersen of Battswood AFC was electedunopposed as vice-president (youth affairs),after incumbent Less indicated he wouldwithdraw from the voting as Garlandale AFC(who had nominated him) had left the meet-ing.
The LFA Cape District executive commit-tee is: Winston Engledoe (president), EltonLotriet and Neil Pietersen (vice-presidents),Grant Adams (CEO), Yusuf Parker (head offinance), Brian van Kesteren (deputy head offinance), Rashied Cloete (head of competi-tions), and Richard Mahwayo (trustee).
