Shop small for big impactNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

“You can’t buy happiness, but you canbuy from a small business and that’s

almost the same.”South Africans across the country are en-

couraged to show their support for smallbusinesses through the new “Shop smallbusiness” and “Small business Friday”movement, an initiative by the NationalSmall Business Chamber (NSBC).Mike Anderson, CEO and founder of the

Chamber, says themovement calls on SouthAfricans to get behind the “job creators, na-tion builders, entrepreneurs and the hard-working men and women who make up thebackbone of the economy by owning orworking in a small business”.The movement aims to encourage and in-

spire South Africans to make a big impactby supporting small businesses all yearround,more so onFridays, and especially on“Small business Friday” which falls on thefirst Friday of September each year.“It’s a one-day high-action drive to get

even more South Africans to support, visitand spend at a small business. When youshop at small businesses, you impact theowner, the employees, their families, thecommunity and South Africa as a whole,”Anderson says.Small businesses currently contribute

over 35% of the country’s Gross DomesticProduct (GDP) and, according to the SmallEnterprise Development Agency, employmore than half of the peoplewhowork in theprivate sector.“The role that small businesses play in job

creation, poverty alleviation, service deliv-ery and wealth creation all mean that smallbusiness is big business,” Anderson says.“Nearly two-thirds of all South Africanworkers are employed by small businesses.

They play a pivotal role in the socio-econom-ic development of our country.”One out of five units exported from South

Africa is produced in the small and mediumbusiness sector.“Friday 4 September marks ‘Small busi-

ness Friday’, but it’s about so much morethan just one day. Through ‘Shop small busi-ness’ we’re aiming to bring about perma-nent change so small businesses can thriveall year round with the backing of all SouthAfricans,” says Anderson.Making a small change to where we spend

our money can have a huge impact on smallbusinesses, our communities andultimatelyour economy, he says. “The advantages ofsupporting small businesses lie not only inmaking an impact on the economy, but alsothe positive difference it can make in uplift-ing local communities. Locally owned busi-nesses help shape strong communities by

keeping vital spend within small towns andcities, leading to vibrant local economiesthat benefit all who live there.”There are plenty of advantages for con-

sumers too – very often small businessescare deeply about the kind of customer ser-vice they deliver, knowing that quality prod-ucts and personalised service are what keeptheir businesses thriving, Anderson ex-plains.“With more support, small businesses

have the potential to breathe new life intothe South African economy. Small business-es represent countless hours of hard work,commitment, resilience and thousands ofjobs. Providing as much support to smallbusinesses as possible is an investment inour communities and South Africa’s collec-tive economic future.”V For more information visit www.smallbusiness-friday.co.za.

The Asijiki Coalition for the Decrimi-nalisation of SexWork in SouthAfricawas formally launched in Cape Townon Thursday last week.Asijiki is the Zulu word for “No

comprises of Sisonke Sex WorkerMovement in South Africa, Women’sLegal Centre, the Sex Worker Educa-tion and Advocacy Taskforce (Sweat)and Sonke Gender Justice.Kholi Buthelezi from Sisonke, who

facilitated the launch, says: “We nowhave a solid platform to raise issues onhow to go about strengthening our callfor decriminalisation collectivelywithout fear of stigmatisation andprejudice. TheCoalitionwill be able tochallenge the negative stereotyping ofsex workers and also build the capaci-ty to challenge issues relating to ourhuman, legal and health rights”.The Coalition will advocate against

the impact of criminalisation on sexworker health, human rights and lim-ited access to services and will lobbyfor law reform.“Every day that South Africa con-

tinues to criminalise sex work, is an-other day that sex workers experienceabuse, discrimination and hardship.The South African Law Reform Com-mission and the department of justiceand correctional services will be keyadvocacy targets of the Coalition,”says Marlise Richter of Sonke GenderJustice.

However, a City of Cape Town traffic officerwas quick on her motorbike to stop the taxidrivers from avoiding the checkpoint.Police arrested four taxi drivers who had

outstanding warrants against them, whichincluded one taxi driver who did not havea licence.Three taxi drivers were given fines for

havingoverloaded taxis to thevalue ifR1200.Sergeant Deidre Solomon, spokesperson

of Kirstenhof police station, says a total oftwenty taxis were pulled over.Traffic fines to the value of R13 500 were

issued to drivers for traffic violations.The police station commander says he is

grateful to the members for their commit-ment in making the roads safer for the com-munity who use public transport.He says this operation will be repeated

regularly, especially as the festive seasonap-proaches.

A traffic officer checks the indicators of a taxi before the taxi driver was given permission tocontinue on.

Hout Bay police have reported sever-al successes for the pastweek, includ-ing two arrests at a local shebeenwhere 123F alcohol were confiscated.Warrant officer Tanya Lesch, Hout

Bay police spokesperson, says a fur-ther four arrests were made for pos-session of suspected stolen goods.“Police recovered a number of

items which include a gas heater, agas tank and in another incident thesuspect was in possession of a quadbike chassis and two wheels,” shesays.Police also searched two houses

where 30 stoppe of dagga and man-drax powder were confiscated.A further twelve small bags of dag-

ga, 9 cigarettes filled with dagga andone stop dagga was also confiscatedduring four drug-related arrests.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

A recommendation to refuse an applica-tion to permit a small-scale early child-

hood development centre in SpaanschematRiver Road in Constantia was supported byProtea subcouncil 20.According to the subcouncil’s report the

centre is unauthorised.The subcouncil report further states the

manager for transport planning for CapeTown noted that although the applicationproposes a maximum of 30 children (whichis considered a small-scale early childhooddevelopment centre) it is expected that theproposal would generate 24 trips duringpeak hour.Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette says

that transport for Cape Town does not ap-prove the application because of road ac-cess.“The speed limit is 60km/h but observed

speed is 80km/h and as I have looked at the

traffic speed I agree,” she says.The applicant is the Montessori Play-

group, which was founded in Bergvliet inJanuary 2006 where it has operated as anapproved early childhood developmentcentre for a period of 9 years.However, the school moved and had been

running at De Hoogte in Constantia sinceMarch last year. In the subcouncil reportthe applicant stated that the school wouldoperate on weekdays and would follow pri-vate school terms.

One objectionThe application has received one objec-

tion, which also referred to the traffic con-cerns.In the subcouncil report the objection

states that the dropping off and collectingof children would increase the traffic noiseconsiderably. The property applied for bor-ders Peddlars on the Bend, which couldcause further congestion, which is alreadycreating a problem. A request for a proper

traffic study in the bend was called for.In response the applicant stated in its mo-

tivation that the school’s entry and depar-ture times are staggered to minimise anycongestion and, most importantly, to reducethe number of vehicles arriving and depart-ing at the intersection of the driveway andSpaanschemat River Road. The transportmanager, however, stated that the access iscurrently being used by three erven anddropping children at the property and non-residential property observed during the in-spection.The current use of the access “is not ac-

ceptable” to the transport department.The subcouncil report further states that

the transport manager is of the opinion thatthe proposal will not negatively affect the ex-isting character of the area or impact on theneighbouring properties, but that the reasonfor recommending the refusal was solely forthe transport reasons.These reasons include the lack of an exclu-

sive right-turn lane and through lane inSpaanschemat River Road, which is a seri-ous concern.Due to the high operating speed observed

the expected increased right-turn demandswill significantly increase the probability ofa collision at the access.

month.Once closed, an environmental consult-

antwill perform tests on the site and recom-mend what should happen to the land.The City will appoint a contractor to per-

form the rehabilitation, which is expectedto be completed before the end of next year.For 40 years, the land has been put to use

in various ways. In its current incarnationas adrop-off facility over thepast five years,the site has provided residentswith a facili-ty that allows themtopractise safe and legalwaste management, says Ernest Sonnen-berg, mayoral committee member for utili-ty services.The facility’s staff will be redeployed to

work at the Wynberg and Hout Bay facili-ties. There is expected to be an increaseddemand at these facilities for a time follow-

ing the closure until such time as a replace-ment site is secured.“We have the capacity at the other sites

to absorb the initial transfer of goods fromLadiesMile for themoment.We are, howev-er, looking at other sites in the area to re-place it. The Retreat facility is currently inthe process of being expanded and we arealso applying to develop a site on PrinceGeorge Drive.“We appeal to residents to continue their

responsible habits in making use of otherexisting drop-off facilities, as they havedone with Ladies Mile. These sites form acrucial part of the infrastructure networkthat allows for safe, legal and effectivewaste management,” says Sonnenberg.“This change will present a period of in-

convenience andwe ask that residents bearwith us during the period of decommission-ing,” he says.

Watches needsyou to get activeASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A local neighbourhoodwatch inWynbergaims to continue its fight against crime

and grime in the community.However, the watch members believe

this can only be achieved with the supportof residents. Theyarenowurgingmorepeo-ple to join the watch.This was revealed at the annual meeting

of the Wynberg Residents and Ratepayers’Association last week in which the watchmembers had the opportunity to voice theirconcerns and urge residents to join.Eugene Dreyer, co-chairperson of the

neighbourhood watch, addressed residentsat the meeting.“We have seen a lot of change in our com-

munity, in thewaywe communicate,wherecrime and grime is concerned and the rolethe neighbourhood watch plays in the com-munity,” he said.Dreyer said residents needed to be realis-

tic about crime in their area and they toomust take ownership of their property.“This is about taking ownership of our

community,” he said.Dreyer said since the establishment of

the watch they have seen a major decreasein crime in the community.The neighbourhood watch regularly pa-

trols and hands out flyers with vital infor-mation about safety and security and urg-ing residents to join.“We not only need people to join the

watch to patrol as there are other ways peo-ple can assist the watch,” he said.“We are slowly growing in numbers, but

we need active members to patrol with us,to work alongside police and the communi-ty police forum. All these safety structurescanwork together to ensure a safer commu-nity,” he said.Dreyer further said there was a 90% re-

duction in crime in Constantia and whilethey had the same police station policingtheir area, the community had taken own-ership of their area.“We would like to see the same happen

here and this can only happen if people areinformed and when people want to seechange,” he said.Meanwhile, Kristina Davids, chairper-

son of the Association says they are focus-ing more on heritage land use, safety andtraffic, finance and communicating withvarious organisations, including the Citycouncil.“We have a member on the community

police forum and have also applied for aseat on theward62 committee.This ensuresthatwe can tackle council issues alongwithcrime and grime issues,” she says.Davids further focuses on building a sys-

tem for residents to report crime, off-routetaxis and municipal issues and providecomments on development applications“Wehave, however, seenagreat improve-

mentwith off-route taxis but it still remainsan ongoing issue. Communicating with thetaxi associations has helped,” she says.She says the Association is always find-

ing ways to encourage residents to join it.“We print flyers to provide them with in-

formation on what we do and how they canjoin the Association. We are also very ac-tive on our Facebook page and website.”

PLUMSTEAD

Don’t give thieves a chanceASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Police have reported that there has beena dip in the number of crimes reported

in Plumstead in the last week. However,the crime has apparently moved to South-field.Warrant officer Keith Chandler, Diep

River police station spokesperson, saysthere are about five hotspots for housebreak-ins in Plumstead.“We are keeping a close eye on these spe-

cific areas and police have increased pa-trols in certain roads to ensure there ishigh police visibility to deter criminals,”he says.Chandler says theft out of cars remains

amajor concern. Such thefts aremainlyop-portunistic anddue toneglect by residents.“We are continuously reminding the

public not to leave their valuables in theircars. Theymust remove laptops, iPads andother electronics from their cars beforethey lock up for the night,” he says.

Help deter crimeChandler says about 38 incidents of theft

out of cars were reported in August.“Although the number of incidents re-

ported are lower than last month it still re-mains an issue which needs to be ad-dressed. We urge residents to take owner-ship of their property to help deteropportunistic crime,” he says.There are about five problem streets

where these thefts are prevalent, including

PrinceGeorgeDrive and Severn,Hemyockand Melville roads.These thefts usually occur at night. In

one incident the thieves used a car to com-mit these crimes.Chandler further says police are also

concerned about the number of robberies.Many of the reported robberies took place

when the victim was walking alone.“Walking around with your cellphone,

laptop or even iPad is an open invitationto opportunistic criminals. Many of thevictims are people who use public trans-port and walk to and from the station andbecome easy targets for criminals,” hesays.

Chandler says the suspects are usuallywell-dressed and well-spoken and do notstand out.“They dress and speak well to ensure

they do not draw attention to themselveswhich makes them go unnoticed. Sincemany of the victims have said they nevergave the suspects a second look this clearlyshows that people need to be vigilant at alltimes,” he says.

Fewer robberies on trainsChandler says there has been a decrease

in train robberies.Police recently arrested a man and a

woman linked to several robberies ontrains, which contributed to this decreasein the crime statistics.“Weurge commuters to be aware of their

surroundings and not to walk alone,” hesays.Meanwhile, two police constables from

Diep River police arrested two suspectslinked to a stolen car syndicate in Robert-son.Constables Zak Marais and Ashely Ado-

nis came across a suspicious-looking, run-down Mazda car being driven in Plum-stead while they were out on patrol. Theystopped the driver and searched the car.“The two suspects in the car, aged 24 and

26,were found inpossessionof a replica toygun and R30 000 in cash,” Chandler says.“The suspects were linked to a stolen car

sold in Robertson and we suspect that theycame back to steal another car to sell it,”he says.

The police say opportunistic thieves steal electronics from cars left by careless owners.

Police warn pensioners to be aware whenpicking up pension payouts as it was re-

ported to the station that men posing as po-lice officials are taking pensioners’ monthlygrants.Sergeant Deidre Solomon, spokesperson

of Kirstenhof police, says the suspects nor-mally work in a group of three.“One suspect would pretend to pick up a

money bag containing money in front of thepensioner and agree to share what he hasfound.“The victim is then lured to a secure place

with the intention to receive half of themon-

ey that the suspect found,” she says.Solomon explains that they are then ap-

proached by another two men pretending tobe police officials. They then inform the twothat a placewas robbed nearby and that theymust hand over all theirmoney tomake surethat it is not the money that was stolen.

After handover“After handing over all themoney the pen-

sioner is then distracted for a minute andthen gets handed back a brown envelope andtold to open the envelope once they have left.Once they are gone the envelope is opened

and inside is cut up newspaper strips,” shesays.Solomon says by the time the pensioner

realises that there is no money in the envel-ope the suspects have fled the scene.“Pensioners must be aware that police of-

ficials do not takemoney and that if they areapproached they should rather tell themthat they should proceed to the nearest po-lice station to sort the matter out or moveto the shopping centres security so that thepolice officials identity can be verified,” shesays.Meanwhile, police conducted searches at

well-known drug houses, which resulted in12 arrests being made in the past week inKirstenhof.

Drugs confiscatedSolomon says a total amount of 5kg of dag-

ga, 275g tik and 261 mandrax tablets wereconfiscated.The suspects all appeared in the Wynberg

Magistrates’ Court on drug-related cases.Anyone with information on crime can

call the police at 10111 or Crime Stop at08600 10111. All information will be treatedas highly confidential.

Today marks the start of Heritage Month, a time duringwhich South Africans celebrate our bright and colourfultraditions and customs.

With so many local and inherited cultures, South Africais a melting pot of variety, made even more interestingby the manner in which many people have integrated age-old traditions into their modern-lives.

While heritage means different things to different peo-ple, in the end, it plays a huge role in defining our identity.

To understand a person, you must understand wherethey come from.

This is why it’s not only important to celebrate one’sown heritage, but also the history of those around you.

Heritage month is great opportunity to learn moreabout the interesting cultures of your neighbours and fel-low South Africans and to gain a better understandingof their traditions and ultimately, what makes them “whothey are”.

Learning about another culture not only teaches oneto respect that culture’s ways, but also to respect the per-son practicing it.

Walt Disney once said: “Our heritage and ideals, ourcode and standards - the things we live by and teach ourchildren - are preserved or diminished by how freely weexchange ideas and feelings.”

We cannot freely exchange opinions and concepts, if wedo not understand where they come from. Without thisfrank exchange, we can never open a dialogue with eachother ¬- a dialogue that we as South Africans so desperate-ly need to be able to address the issues we face as a nationand to move forward as a country.

So before you light the “braai” this Heritage Month, vis-it your library, switch on the TV or go knock on yourneighbour’s door to find out what exactly makes them“tick” and be a part of sharing your heritage and makingsure it lives on for generations to come.

A knit in time saves...Some of my pupils at Wynberg Second-ary School have asked for wool andknitting needles to start a knitting clubat school.

I am respectfully asking the commu-nity to assist the school. I have askedthe children that with the donationsthey get, they can knit one square andthen the rest of the wool is theirs to dowith as they wish. The squares willthen be sewn together into blankets tobe donated to some of the homeless inour area. The school can be contactedon 021 797 0059/17 or donations can bedropped off at the school directly.

ELLEN FEDELE

Heritagelandmarkdear to allThe article written by People’s Postregarding the destruction of theRondebosch fountain with the headline“History smashed into pieces” on page1 last week is certainly very, very sad.

I sincerely hope the stupidity of theperson who destroyed this iconiclandmark will pay for its restoration.

The entire article stresses the factthat the fountain is so dear to theresidents of Rondebosch – in fact, itmeans a lot to all Capetonians.

I grew up in Rondebosch and passedthe fountain every day on my way toschool when there was little else in thearea. Other than it being restoredmany years ago, they even placedwater in the trough once again.

No-one has physically damaged thisgracious old piece of our past, so whydoes Anthony Davies, CEO of theGroote Schuur Community Improve-ment District, think it should bemoved?

Bits of our past are slowly beingremoved, in time there’ll be nothingfor us to remember or for the nextgeneration. Leave it where it is meantto be for all to admire.

NONA PHILLIPSClaremont

SA sports star restores prideAmid the negativity and gloom pertainingto the depressive all-time low of the rand,a breath of fresh air infuses much opti-mism and hope in the form of Wayde vanNiekerk securing a gold medal in theWorld Athletics Championships in Beijing.

Winning the nail-biting 400m in 43.48seconds is a feat which places Van Nie-kerk as the fourth fastest man in thehistory of the 400m race.

Van Niekerk has restored South Africanpride during a slump when we are

deflated by an ailing economy, exacerbat-ed by ineffective national governancefraught with corruption and scandal.

Cape Town-born Van Niekerk hashaloed South Africa in a golden era forSouth African track athletes, but more so,he has uplifted national pride out of itsdark quagmire and miry pit.

Thank you, Wayde, for raising ourspirits at a time when it is needed most.

Play Sport 4 Life (PS4L) recently held asoccer development programme inPin-elands.

PS4L is a non-profit company operating intheKensington, Factreton andMaitland are-as andwas established to provide opportuni-ties for children and adults to participate insport, and in so doing, help them becomehealthier, more responsible citizens in theircommunities.The purpose of the soccer development in-

itiative is to unite communities through

sport as well as get children off the streetsby occupying their time and getting them in-volved with something they enjoy. The agegroups range from u.7 to u.11, with A and Bsides. This allows all the players to get anequal amount of playing time and a chanceto show off their skills on the field, whichwas appreciated by all involved.“I think it’s a really great initiative,” said

Ghadija Ismail, a regular supporter of theevent.“I love the setup of all age groups playing

at the same venue as it saves me having togo to two different fields to watch my boys,who play u.9 and u.11 respectively. I supportSaxon Rovers because both my sons playthere, but I can strike up conversationswithparents from other clubs because PS4L hascreated a close, family-like soccer communi-ty.”Ismail says she has noticed a significant

improvement in her sons’ behaviour withtheir participation in the programme.“Comerain or shine they are always ready

to come and play.”

Grow as individualsThose involved feel that PS4L gives the

children in the local communities an oppor-tunity to develop more than just soccerskills, allowing them to grow as individualsand brings them together no matter whattheir age.PS4L runs similar events every Saturday

morning between 09:00 and 12:00 at varioussports grounds across Cape Town.

Young communities unite with soccer

A trio of teens have set theirsights on achieving greaterheights, following their par-

ticipation in the Durban interna-tional u.19 tournament recently.Aghmat Ceres, Darren Johnson

and Shane Saralina, who are all 18years old and play for Ajax CapeTown, were selected and played forthe South African u.19 team, whoobtained a third-place finish at thetournament.South Africa’s best young soccer

players lined up against six inter-national teams, namely AC Milan,Arsenal, Celtic FC, GalatasaraySK, PSV Eindhoven and VfB Stutt-gart, while a KZN academy alsotook part in the high-profile event.Saralina is fromMitchell’s Plain

and said that even though this washis second call-up to the nationalside, he obtained valuable experi-ence in Durban.“It was a great experience there

(in Durban). We were together fora few weeks, but it wasn’t easy forplayers who came together so sud-denly,” he said.The Portlands High School pupil

played every match in which histeam participated in and althoughhe plays at left-back for his club, he

was employed as one of the main-stays in the heart of South Africa’sdefence. Saralina was grateful forthe opportunity to show off his tal-ent to both the local and interna-tional scouts at the tournament,with a view to hopefully secure alucrative PSL contract.“Other clubs looked at me and

the potential that I have to playPSL. I want to play PSL, but firstthe Diski (Challenge) and thenPSL.”Ceres is from Grassy Park and

thrived in the engine room of theteam, playing in central midfield.“To me it was a great experience

playing against the best in theworld. It’s tough, but I played witha host of good players. The high-light for me was scoring for mycountry on debut. You can’t de-scribe the feeling; it’s a nice feelingto have in that moment.”Ceres’s debut goal helped the

team to a 2-0 win over AC Milan.Despite being diminutive in size,he is not lacking in passion andverve, especially when faced withthe challenge of playing againstsome of the world’s elite.“You are playing against bigger

European opposition,” said Ceres.“They are fit, they are strong and

clever, and so you just have to tryto compete with them. You have to

be clever, quick and just don’t letthem touch you!”Meanwhile, Johnson, a goal-

keeper, only hoped that this wasthe start of a long and illustriouscareer in soccer. He hopes to emu-late Manchester United’s Spanishshot stopper, David de Gea, in thefuture.“All of the experience I got from

national duty, I am bringing backhome and developing my style ofplay. I started as a centre back, butchanged to goal-keeping by heart,because I love that position.”Johnson was hardly surprised

by his inclusion in the national set-

up, despite it being his first timerepresenting his country, butmaintained that had he not beencalled up, it would not have beenthe end of the world for him.“I still have awhole career ahead

of me, so I should look forward tobeing called up more often, so this(representing South Africa) is ac-tually driving me to be called upmore often.”Johnson says he has a contract

with Ajax’s senior team and playsin the Vodacom League as well asthe MultiChoice Diski Challengeteam. He urges other young soccerplayers to work hard and keep as-

piring to chase their dreams.Ceres backed up Johnson’s view

that hard work will pay dividendsand that talent alone may not al-ways be enough, something Ceresis all too aware of.“I think if I just work hard and

show the coaches what I can do.You know, you just need some luckand when you get the opportunity,you must take it.“You just need to work hard,

keep your eye on the prize. Hardwork beats talent, so there mightbe a better player than you, but ifyou work hard you will get some-where.”
