    If nothing is done about the economicalpressure under which wine farms in cer-tain areas of the Durbanville wine valleyare, therewill be nomore vineyards in theseareas in 10 years time.This warning was issued by Gerrit van

    Rensburg, former provincial minister of ag-ricultural in the Western Cape. Van Rens-burg was appointed as chairperson of theboard of directors of the Durbanville InnerValley (DIV) initiative.According to Van Rensburg, the DIV was

    started in December 2013 by seven winefarms on Tygervalley Roadwhich are facingaworsening financial outlook forwine farm-ing.The purpose is to preserve thewine farm-

    ing heritage, but also to ensure viable winefarming; to introduce other economic activi-ties, a higher level of development wheresuitable, increase tourism and other activi-ties in harmony with the character of thearea, and to address land reform, he said.

    families, are Altydgedacht, Morgenster,Bloemendal, Nitida, Maastricht, DAria andAltydgedacht II. The area extends over 1 294ha with 538 ha currently under vineyard.Van Rensburg said these wine farms are

    The valley is located between Durbanvilleand Ridgewood, with Tyger Valley Road tothe N7 running through it a road thatcould be aptly renamed Sauvignon Boule-vard, he said.The initiative started when the land own-

    ers and the Greater Tygerberg Partnership(GTP) organised two initial public think de-bate sessions with the City of Cape Town.The workshops with the City and GTP

    took place in December 2013 and January2014.The wine farmers formed a board with

    representatives of theDurbanville HeritageSociety, The Valley Ratepayers Associa-tion andKenridge TheHills Ratepayers As-sociation. Other institutions include theGTP, the Stellenbosch Universitys Schoolof Public Leadership (SPL), provincial gov-ernment and the City.According to Van Rensburg some techni-

    cal reports have already been completed, in-cluding the one from Vinpro, as well asother planning, tourism and socio-economic reports.The only decision thus far is to form this

    initiative and its structures and to meetwith the province and City as the relevantgovernment authorities to seek guidanceand a process for the objective of the initia-tive, he said.Threemembers of DIV and three City offi-

    cials met on 14 August to discuss processoptions.There are no development plans on the

    table. It must be emphasised that there isan existing Spatial Development Frame-work (SDF) of the City, which prescribeswhat type of development can currentlytake place in this region.If any proposals fall outside of this exist-

    ing framework then a motivation will need

    to be submitted which will form part of thereview of the SDF, he said.Former wine farming areas around the

    valley have been lost to development, suchas Welgemoed, Van Riebeeckshof, Welge-dacht, Kanonberg, Door deKraal, Kenridge,Durbanville Hills and Aurora.The vineyards and natural beauty have

    made way for functional housing. Sadly,however, even the best architecture andlandscaping is no match for nature.Without action or forward planning in

    respect of the Durbanville Inner Valley,wine farmingwould cease and one vineyardafter another would make way for excava-tors and concrete.The right mix of wine farming and other

    economic activities can preserve the val-leys character and spirit, and present op-portunities for leisure and recreation andmuch more, he said.

    Cliviaprag: Die afgelope naweek was dit weer diebeurt van clivia-geesdriftiges om hul pragtige blommete kom uitstal. Die arena in die Tygervallei-winkelsen-trum was in rep en roer terwyl die beoordelaars diebeste clivia op die skou uitgesoek en aangewys het.

    n Betoging deur diereregte-aktivistetydens n vleisfees by n Durbanvil-le-kerk het effe ontaard toe n fees-ganger op een van die betogers gespoeg het.

    Di voorval het plaasgevind by n vleis-fees by die NG Kerk Stellenberg voorverle-de Vrydag op 11 September toe n ligte kon-frontasie ontstaan het.

    Die aktiviste het ook betoog by n vleis-fees hierdie afgelopeSaterdag op 18 Sep-tember by die NGKerk Sonstraal temidde van die geurvan gebraaide lams-tjops.

    Lamsvleis, ont-beende boude, rol-rib, afval, lewermui-se en biltong is bydi gewilde feesteverkoop.

    Van die aktivistevan die organisasie269life South AfricaCape Town het luid-keels uit die Bybelaangehaal. n Skaap-speelding wat dieaktiviste aan nhoutkruis gespykerhet, is deur sommi-ge feesgangers asonsmaaklik bestem-pel.

    Bykans al dietwee kerke se adver-tensieborde om hulvleisfeeste te adver-teer, is enkele daevoor die onderskeie feeste oornagvan lamp-pale in die omliggende woonbuurte verwy-der.

    Die vleisfeeste deur die NGkerke Stellen-berg en Sonstraal is aangebied saam metNG kerke uit die Karoo, onderskeidelik dieNG Kerk Vosburg en Laingsburg.

    Volgens Gretha Fick, organiseerder vandie Vleisfees by die NG Kerk Sonstraal, hethul skadevanR8 032 gely toe sowat 180 plak-kate verledeMaandagnag van die lamppalein die buurt verdwyn het.Hoewel daar nog geen bewyse is dat dit

    die handewerk van die aktiviste is nie, ishulle van niemand anders bewus wat teenhul Vleisfees gekant was nie, het sy ges.Sy was by die Durbanville-polisie om n

    klag te l.Melanie Thomet van die organisasie het

    ontken dat dit hulle was wat die plakkateverwyder het.

    Dit was vanjaar die derde agtereenvol-gende jaar dat daar by die Vleisfees betoogword.

    Thomet,wat haarselfmet n rooi vloeistofgesmeer het om diebloed van geslagtediere te verteen-woordig, het hier endaar reaksie uitge-lok.

    Die spoegvoorvalby die NG Kerk Stel-lenberg het plaasge-vind toe een van diefeesgangers methaar gaan praat het.

    Die voorval is opvideo opgeneem enop Facebook ge-plaas. Die man, ver-moedelik van Vos-burg, het daarnaweggehardloop en isdeur n ander maningehaal en na diebetogers gebring omom verskoning tevra,maar nwoorde-wisseling het tussendi man en die akti-viste ontstaan.

    Bernie van Wyk,opsigter by die NGKerk Stellenberg,het ges hy het die

    gepratery tussen die manne en die beto-gers gesien,maarniedie spoegvoorvalnie.Volgens hom is meer as 100 borde oornagvan lamppale verwyder.Thomet het op hul Facebook-blad ges

    hulle is by die Stellenberg-fees van meetaf deur die Christene aangevat.

    Hulle is onder meer ook toeparkeer en ngroep kinders het hulle getartmet hartelo-se slagspreuke, terwyl sommige feesgan-gers voor hulle kom staan en vleis eet het,het sy ges.

    Her perfect pitch and angelic song land-ed her a spot in the Top 10 of Idols SAseason 11, but its her adamant standagainst bullying that has made NadiaHerbsts voice heard in the northern sub-urbs of Cape Town.

    As an ambassador for Faba (FightingAgainst Bullying and Abuse), this 20-year-old songstress, who grew up in Dur-banville and Brackenfell, invests muchof her time visiting schools, universitiesand communities around the country tocreate awareness about this serious is-sue.

    Our ambassadors understand this is-sue and share their own life stories tohelp people understand the effects bully-ing can have on someones life. It is vitalthat we focus not only on the person be-ing bullied, but also the roles of the by-standers and why it is that people bully,says Morn Marais, Mr South Africa2014/2015 and founder of Faba, speakingon behalf of Nadia, while she is out of

    reach for the media battling it out in theIdols competition in Johannesburg.

    Nadia, who started singing at the ageof 13, has a passion for the less fortunateand believes in inspiring others to riseabove any circumstances in their lives,he said.

    On Saturday Nadia saw to it that a 16-year-old girl at the Durbanville Chil-drens Home received a brand new gui-tar to help her live out her passion formusic, after Nadia came to hear of herplight.

    Amber (not her full name) recently ar-rived at the home. With her love for mu-sic, she started lessons a few years ago,but never had the means of financing herown instrument.

    I am totally overwhelmed with thiskind gesture. Music is not only my pas-sion, but it helps me to express myself,Amber said.V To vote for your Nadia or any of our favouriteIdols finalists you can dial *120*33033# fromyour cellphone and follow the prompts. Calls arecharged at R1.50 per minute. OR, text theirunique number to 37400. Nadias number is 08.

    Volgens haar het hulle n klag van crimeninjuria en aanranding by die Durbanville-polisie aanhangig gaan maak n die eersteVleisfees.Ds. Callie Visagie van die NG Kerk Stel-

    lenberg het ges dis die aktiviste se goeiereg om beswaar te maak.Ons leef in n vrye samelewing. Dis net

    jammer as mense nie met respek teenoormekaar optree nie. Ek het nie die voorvalgesien nie, maar skaam my vir mense watnie ander se siening respekteer nie, het hyges.Thomet het op navraag aan TygerBurger

    ges hulle betoog by die kerke, omdat diekerke hierdie feeste hou ten koste van on-skuldige wesens.Ons dink dis verkeerd. Dit skend die om-

    gewing, asook diere weens die wrede boer-derypraktyke en deurdat hulle slegs askommoditeite beskou word.

    Daar is nie so iets soos pynlose slagtingnie. Vleis word ook verbind met n ritsmenslike siektes soos kanker, hartsiektes,diabetes en osteoporose, het sy ges.Ons glo ook dit is in stryd met die bood-

    skap van God en Christendom, wat een vandeernis en nie massaslagting is nie.Op n vraag oor hoekom hulle nie ook by

    ander plekke betoog waar mense vleis eet-nie, het Thomet ges dat hulle al by verskeieslaghuise onder meer in Bellville, Groen-punt, Tableview enStellenbosch en ook byn restaurant in Kaapstad betoog.Die organisasie Beauty Without Cruelty

    South Africa was by die twee vorige beto-gings betrokke, maar was nie vanjaar be-trokke nie en sal ook nie in die toekoms bysulke geleenthede betrokke wees nie, hetToni Brockhoven,mediabeampte vanBeau-tyWithout Cruelty, aanTygerBurger by na-vraag laat weet.

    The sixth annual Pink Lady Crafts forCancer event has never beenmore suc-cessful than this year.In the first year, only 25women attended

    mostly because we begged them to come whereas this year we had waiting lists fortickets, says Theresa Richards, marketingconsultant at Top Fruit who along withTrueCape initiated this event to raise fundsfor the Tygerberg Hospital breast cancerclinics transport fund.The prestigious event was held at DAria

    wine estate on Saturday and they managedto raise R67 000 this year.Professor Justus Apffelstaedt, head of the

    breast clinic at Tygerberg Hospital, ex-plained why this initiative was so invalua-ble.Many of our patients live on government

    grants of about R1 200 permonth.Around trip toTyger-berg hospital will cost themup to R150. The choice be-tween having enough to eatfor the family and transportfor therapy is stark.Liza Matthews, marketing

    manager at PinkLady, said itwas for this reason theychose this cause.Although treatment costs

    are covered by government,some patients cannot affordthe transport cost to andfrom the hospital for regularradiotherapy sessions, shesaid.Apffelstaedt added this

    year was especially auspi-

    cious for him as it marked his 20th year ashead of this clinic.More importantly, he informedwomen of

    the latest technology in the field of breastcancer treatment.One of only two automated breast vol-

    ume scanning machines on the entire Afri-can continent arrived four weeks ago. Aprobe scans over the entire breast, duringwhich it records images that are sent to acomputer for 3D reconstruction, he says.Not only is this methodmore effective to

    detect cancerous lesions in dense breast tis-sue of especially younger women, but it isalso not as painful as a normal mammo-graph, he said.After learning the art of lino printing

    fromLizel Cloete, craft editor for Ideasmag-azine, the women were treated to the heav-enly piano sounds of virtuoso Rocco de Vil-liers followed by a three-course meal, inwhich apples featured as the hero.

    Theft of and out of vehicles in the Dur-banville town centre and on surround-ing farms are rife, the Durbanville po-lice warned last week.Lieutenant Marchell Rhode of the Dur-

    banville police said these crimes are a bigconcern for the police.For the past three months various cases

    of theft out of and frommotor vehicles havebeen reported where items such as cellphones, laptops and electric tools have beenstolen out of vehicles, Rhode said.Vehicles all over the town centre are be-

    ing targeted. Most of these were parkednear the shopping area, business premises,at school functions and other events.Remote jamming devices or the break-

    ing of a smallwindoware used to gain entryto the vehicle, he said.

    The most prominent streets that are be-ing targeted are Wellington Road, OxfordStreet and Chenoweth Street in Durban-ville.The problem days for theft out of motor

    vehicles are Mondays, Wednesdays andThursdays between 15:00 and 21:00.People are negligent by leaving valuable

    items unattended and openly for criminalsto see, Rhode warned.At Meerendal wine estate, where moun-

    tain bike cycling occurs in the evenings, afew cases were reported where bicycle car-riers have been stolen.The suspects might be two women

    dressed in cycling clothing, Rhode said.V If people witness any suspicious people or activi-ties, they must contact the Durbanville police on021 970 3811.

    Im trying to freeze a moment intime.Kuils River artist Juria le Rouxloves painting portraits. She is currentlyworking on a series depicting the stories be-hind the people who work on the farm Lang-verwagt where she lives.

    One of them is local hero Joey Mashiya.TygerBurger reported on Joey late last

    year when he saved a drowning woman froma dam (Plaaswerker haal vrou uit dam,TygerBurger, 17 December 2014). Juria sayswhen she asked him about the act, he ap-peared to have mixed feelings about whetherhed actually done the unnamed woman a fa-vour as it seemed that she had tried to com-mit suicide.

    He looked sort of lost and forlorn whiletelling me about it. Its this emotion that Ju-ria has captured in JoeyMashiya local herowhich is currently on display at the Rust-en-Vrede gallery in Durbanville as part of thisyears Sanlam portrait awards top 40 paint-ings. JoeyMashiya local herowill be on dis-play until Thursday 8 October when the ex-hibition moves to other galleries around thecountry.

    Knowing each other on different levelsJuria has been painting people on the farm

    for the last two years. Most of the pieces aredouble portraits of people who have workedtogether for many years. The series delvesinto the idea that people who have workedtogether may know each other really well onone level, but not at all on another.

    I was trying to investigate that kind of re-lationship that you find in any workplace,but more so on a farm.

    Juria also wanted to paint a more posi-tive picture of farm life, as opposed to all thenegative stories people hear. We work side

    by side.When Joey saved the woman, Juria

    thought to capture it as a continuation ofthis theme. When it turned out exactly theway shed pictured it in her mind, she decid-ed to enter it into the Sanlam competition.

    Juria originally trained as a jewellery de-signer at Stellenbosch University. I stillmake jewellery, but my poor clients have towait forever as I do many other things.

    After graduating she started Amulet, acommunal workshop that exhibited regular-

    ly before spending a number of years over-seas.

    It was only after her return to South Africathat Juria picked up a paint brush. A friendwho was running an art school, kept naggingat her to try out painting.

    I started by going for one evening everynow and then, and I loved it. She is particu-larly fond of working with oil.

    Making jewellery is a very slow and pre-cise process and you have to think it throughbefore you start. With painting, however,

    you can have an idea in your mind for thelongest time and just stand in front of the ea-sel and do it.

    It was her series titled Eligie (Eulogy) in2011 that put Juria on the map as an artist.The exhibition was titledReeksmoord (serialmurder) when it was exhibited at the AbsaKKNK, and was made up of 50 portraits ofpeople who had been murdered.

    At that stage up to 50 people were mur-dered in South Africa per day, and Juriasays she was inspired to paint the series aft-er the murder of her fathers cousin.

    I had no choice, she says of the protestpiece, adding that it was like a catharsis forher. I meant those 50 paintings as a symbol-ic gesture to remember all the thousandsthat have been murdered.

    Not done yetHer double portraits were also exhibited

    at Aardklop in an exhibition titledPlaas, butJuria isnt done yet. She is considering a se-ries of still lives depicting the people on thefarm with the tools they use in their dailylives.

    When she isnt working on her jewelleryor paintings, Juria is responsible for the ad-min for the wedding venue at Langverwagt.She is also the chairperson of the arts associ-ation of Bellville.

    I feel artists should give back. She saysArt.b is a great community orientated plat-form for up and coming artists, althoughthey also run exhibitions by well-known art-ists.

    At the moment, the gallery makes do withthe help of volunteers and Juria says thecommittee keeps the gallery going.

    Aria adds that she was surprised to be cho-sen for the Sanlam portrait awards.

    The competition is a wonderful opportu-nity for artists, she says.V Visit Juria le Rouxs page on www.artandart-ists.co.za for more about her career and work.

    One must recognise the roleand the value added by civilsociety organisations to bringabout change in communities.I would like to highlight that

    the role of women cannot beunderestimated or undervaluedin civil society. The valueadded by women, especiallywomen in leadership, is vitalto any community in address-ing social challenges.I think that in many organi-

    sations, its women who areinstrumental in changingorganisations that are strug-gling to achieve its develop-ment objectives. I have seenover the years in our commu-nities, especially the CapeFlats, that it is the women whoattend community meetings,its women who attend schoolmeetings these days. Believe it

    Recognise the rolethat women play

    or not, but it is the women whoare leading change and inreality its the women who leadthe fight against crime.Its women leading for

    change, and one wonders whathappened to the men.I wrote to some women in

    our community who arealready in leadership roles attheir various communityorganisations, appealing andurging and asking them toconsider playing an active rolein sport development.Women support the men,

    their sons and even theirdaughters in all sport. Womenare out making food for theyouth, in meetings they arethere recording minutes orfulfilling an administrativefunction serving the sport,serving the churches, servingthe community, leading the wayfor change.The active participation of

    women in sport is changingand needs to change in ourcommunities at all levels ascommunity organisations needa womens perspective inmeetings and decision-making.I dont have to remind the

    sports leaders that the currentrole of women in politics, andin other sports where theirexperience adds value and theirpresence changes the land-scapes even in our currentand young democracy.Whether we like it or not

    women are making a vastdifference on the politicalscene, so much so theres a callfor the President of SouthAfrica to be a woman.Women are making their

    voices heard on all frontsadding value to a better society;a better South Africa.Women are our most domi-

    nant social activists in ourcommunities as well as ourchurches. We should be openfor partnership on all levels ofleadership structures. We needto involve men and womenjointly working togetherchairing our communitystructures, as this will enhanceour model leadership.

    I would like to acknowledge theoutstanding service I haveexperienced at DurbanvilleSanitary and Bathroom. I haveexperienced similar service onprevious occasions by the samegentleman, Vernon, who whenlast faced with a query on aplumbing intricacy, went out ofhis way to firstly find a solu-tion and then to save me anyfurther unnecessary expense onit, which resulted in himsaving me money. I commendhis excellent attitude on whatcould alternatively have been asimple solution for him, butexpensive for me. This isnt acommon occurrence these days.I will shop there as long as heis there. Service with good oldfashioned ethic. And a smile.

    LEWENSKIEKIE

    Taxi tensionscome as nosurpriseImagine this. You are driving alongBlaauwberg Road when you hear a loudbang. Your car is damaged, you are latefor work and the taxi driver who crashedinto your vehicle has no licence, nopermit and no insurance.This is a scenario that would have any

    motorist seething. And while the taxidriver gets a R500 fine, you have to dealwith insurance claims, vehicle repairsand the associated trauma.The area around Blaauwberg Road has

    become synonymous with near misses,illegal ranks and taxi drivers who drivein oncoming lanes to avoid congestion.All of the above results in one thing:frustration.Recently a local business owner took

    matters in his own hands and startedboxing in taxis ranking on his property.His actions were lauded by the communi-ty and after months of frustration, hisactions come as no surprise.Amid the furore are underlying com-

    plex municipal issues including taxirecapitalisation, the institution of theMyCiTi bus service and illegal operators.And while it will take time to sort

    these out, the current situation in thegreater Table View area is reaching feverpitch. The simple solution is enforcement,but when resources are scarce andexcuses plentiful, anger will continue tomount.A strategic and methodical approach is

    needed but truth be told, people will onlycontinue to break the law as long as theyare allowed to do so.

    Schools almost full; hurry to ensure a placeCape Town schools are almost full andthe Western Cape Education Depart-menturgesparents to enrol childrenassoon as possible.

    Todate, schools in theWesternCapehaveprocessed 128 545 applications for placementfor the 2016 school year. So far, 118 429learners have been placed, said educationminister Debbie Schfer in a statement tothe media last week.

    Parents were encouraged to apply to

    schools by 30 June, and those who now stillneed spaces at schools need to urgently ap-proach their nearest schools or the closestdistrict office to find out which schools stillhave spaces available, she said.We cannot guarantee places in schools of

    choice, but will do our utmost to place chil-dren appropriately. It is crucial that parentswho have failed to enrol their child for the2016 school year to do so urgently and beforethe end of the third term to ensure that they

    secure a place for their child.Schfer says there are currently 3 470

    learners who have been accepted at morethan one school.

    Some 2 257 of these learners are Grade 8learners who have not confirmed if they aretaking up their places, she says.

    Moreover, we expect that learners willcontinue to migrate to the Western Capefrom other provinces in search of a bettereducation and access to opportunities. Each

    year we plan as best we can for the influxof additional learners from other provinces.The inward migration into the WesternCape has huge financial and planning impli-cations, impacting on the provisioning of ed-ucation resources and the overall manage-ment of the system, she says.

    We have to prioritise according to thegreatest need across thewhole province, andavailable budget. Our current budget is un-der considerable pressure.

    Comedy magician Marcel Oudejans isnot just an entertainer. He sees him-self as more of a fun facilitator.The Pinelands resident, who grew up in

    the northern suburbs, will be doing a rarepublic show inCapeTownwhenhepresentsSleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way outof this! as part of the Cape Town Fringe Fes-tival from Thursday.The show is a sequel to Sleight of Mouth

    Theart of talking yourway out of anything,which he performed at last years FringeFestival.The new show features new magic, deliv-

    ered in Marcels trademark witty stand-up style. Theres also more story-tellingwith anecdotes abouthis travels and experi-ences as a magician.Performing magic for people who arent

    expecting it usually produces interestingresults. On one occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to a show anddecided to brighten someones day with amagic trick. The woman freaked out be-cause she had no one around to corroboratethat it had actually happened.One could almost say Mar-

    cels comedy career startedwith people who werent ex-pecting it. When other chil-dren were waiting tables,Marcel, who had alreadystarted doing shows at theBellville Library over schoolholidays, was performing inrestaurants for tips.Today, Marcel is one of the

    countrys leading perform-ers. In 2008 he was recognisedas one of Africas leading ma-gicians at the Vismayan In-ternational Magic Conven-tion held in India.Most of his work is for cor-

    porate events, where he actsas emcee or more recently,teaches people about the im-portance of play in theworkplace or as he puts it totake play seriously.He believes learning to

    have funor embracing cultur-al arts, gives people a meansto express themselves, some-thingwhich is essential to un-derstanding other people andhaving empathy.He works with businesses

    to help them create a wow incustomer service, usingmagic to prove his point.Customer service is some-

    thing Marcel takes seriouslyand its important to him thathis audiences feel like theyare getting a genuine, sincereperformance.This is where his improvi-

    sation skills come in handy; giving him theability to adapt to his audience and makehis shows more interactive.Although theres a light narrative run-

    ning through Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyourway out of this!, Marcel doesnt like theidea of a magic show thats too scripted.You want to make the audience feel likethis is happening for the first time.His performance at the Fringe Festival is

    an opportunity to see another side of his ex-tensive repertoire and escape reality for anhour.Marcel says the festival itself is a chance

    to see a wide variety of productions, fromtheatre pieces tomagic, in one place and ur-ges Capetonians to buy tickets early andsupport the local performers on stage thisyear.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out of this!will be on stage at Cape Town City Hall Theatre 3at 19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday 25, Tuesday 29September and Friday 2 October. Shows will also runat 17:30 on Saturday 26 and Monday 28 September,at 15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05 onThursday 1 October. Marcel will also be performingat the Alexander Bar at 13:05 on Tuesday 29 Sep-tember. Tickets cost R70 or R63 (concessions) fromthe door or www.capetownfringe.co.za.

    Not an entertainer,but a fun facilitator

    Marcel Oudejans brings his latest show to the Cape TownFringe Festival this week.

    HHeellpp sshheelltteerrss,, nnoott bbeeggggaarrssTThe City of Cape Towns social develop-ment and early childhood develop-ment directorate took its Give Respon-sibly campaign to the streets last Friday.Councillors and officials from the direct-

    orate were stationed at 17 intersections inDurbanville, Bellville, Goodwood, KuilsRiver, Parow, Athlone, Mitchells Plain, Ot-tery, Diep River, Grassy Park, SomersetWest, Strand, Gordons Bay, Wynberg,Lansdowne, Table View and the Cape TownCBD, armed with posters highlighting theimportance of not giving hand-outs to streetpeople.Some of the slogans used to drive themes-

    sage home included: Hand-outs are notgenerous, they are harmful; By givinghand-outs, you are perpetuating a cycle ofpoverty; Yourmoney is supporting a drugdealer; Change is about more than a fewcoins; and Begginghandicapsmy future.We opted for this activation to create

    awareness about the fact that street cornerhand-outs are doing little else other thanperpetuating the cycle of dependence andkeeping people on the streets, said SuzetteLittle, the Citys mayco member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment.The public has a shared responsibility

    for the well-being of street people. We mustunderstand that there is a very good chancethat the R2 or R5 handed over at the inter-section is feeding a habit instead of the indi-vidual.So lets change tack andmove away from

    the instant gratification that amonetary do-nation provides. My appeal to the public isto find out where their nearest shelter or or-ganisation working with street people is,and liaise with them about how to make areal difference, whether it be donatingclothes or other goods, or even volunteer-ing, Little said.The City introduced its Give Responsibly

    campaign in 2010, aimed at encouraging thepublic to support the homeless by makingdonations to registered organisations in-stead of individuals, thus breaking the cycleof dependence that keeps themon the street.

    In addition, the City has formulated astreet people policy and implemented anumber of interventions as part of its streetpeople programme. The budget for this pro-gramme has grown from R4,5 million in2013/14, to R7,8 million in 2014/15, toR9,7 million in 2015/16 an increase ofmorethan 100%.

    The City has made great strides in its ef-forts to tackle homelessness. Our fieldworkers engagewith street people onadailybasis, offering them access to a range of ser-vices including returning home where pos-

    sible.On the other hand, we have structures

    set up within communities to prevent oth-ers from migrating to the streets. However,weve seen that many street people refuseour offers of assistance and Im not sur-prised.

    Why leave the streets when do-goodersdish out donations for very little in return?If we are ever going to make a real dent inreducing the number of people living on ourstreets and offer them a better life, we needtomove away from the culture of indiscrim-inate giving. Give a hand up rather than ahand-out, Little said.V The City encourages members of the public to con-tact its toll-free number on 0800 872 201 for moreinformation on how they can give responsibly.

    Residents are more likely to experi-ence snake encounters due to spring-time, warns Shaun MacLeod, co-ordi-nator of the Snake Rescue volunteer teamin the Cape Peninsula.

    Every spring snakes come out of hiber-nation on the hunt for a much neededspring meal. Snakes are very important toour natural environment as they controlthe vermin rodents that destroy crops andcarry numerous diseases, says MacLeod,who is also a director of Reptile Education-al Awareness Consultants (REAC).

    Snakes and various other reptiles formpart of the very important balance in ourecosystem. A simple equation the moresnakes we kill, the more rodents and peststhere will be.

    We have encroached into their naturalhabitat through habitat degradation, frag-mentation and urban expansion.

    Ponds, heaps of building rubble androckeries in and around gardens andhomes create micro environments, whichwill inevitably attract snakes, MacLeodwarns.

    He reminds residents that snakes are at-tracted to neglected areas where there isnot much disturbance, as snakes hate con-frontation.

    There is no real way of keeping snakesoff your property, but if you keep yourgrass cut short, trees well trimmed andclean up all rubble, just to mention a few,then there is less likelihood for snakes toreside on your property. In short keepyour garden tidy, he says.

    Leave snakes alone and it will leaveyou alone. Most bites occur when people at-tempt to kill snakes, he says.V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on082 532 5033 for advice or emergencies.
