NEW HORIZONS

Elderly ‘living in fear’CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Their beloved neighbourhood has nowturned into something like a prison.These are the words of a group of eld-

erly residents living in Shoebill Court, NewHorizons.Residents whomoved into the housing de-

velopment about three years ago say theyfear for their safety in the area as gang activ-ity has escalated since they moved in.One resident, who did not want to be

named out of fear of victimisation, says theyhave been living in fear for “too long”.“It really is sad to live in a placewhere one

can’t really be free. The name should say alot – New Horizons. But when I moved in

here, it was exactly the opposite,” the con-cerned resident says.The resident says the frustration stems

from alleged gang activity in the court.“At the moment the 6 Bops gang is operat-

ing here. They even call our court the FourCorners.”Another resident says they have been ver-

bally abused by unsavoury elements hang-ing around a few homes in the court.“Whenwe tried to reprimand these people

involved with the gang, we were met withdisrespect and got sworn at. It’s like weshould just shut our mouths and allow thisto happen,” the resident says.“Mychildren’s schoolwork is being affect-

ed by these activities in the area. They (thegangs) are a nuisance when they make a

noise at all hours of the day and night,” theresident complains.The residents say they have already

joined forces with the City of Cape Town tohave this issue addressed and reported thesituation to the police.“After we set up petitions and asked to

meet with themayor to highlight our dissat-isfaction, nothing has been done. This is re-ally a cry for help because we are being ter-rorised by gang activity and drug peddlingevery day,” the residents say.Mayco member for human settlements,

Benedicta van Minnen, says the propertiespointed out in an enquiry relating to the ac-tivities in the court, are privately ownedhomes. “The mentioned properties are notrental stock. It’s Breaking New Ground

(BNG)units thatwerehanded over to benefi-ciaries for private ownership. As with allproperty owners, beneficiaries of the BNGHousing Project are responsible for anymaintenance and the safeguarding of theirhouses as well as ensuring that no illegal ac-tivity or antisocial behaviour occurs ontheir premises,” Van Minnen says.She adds the RDP houses have a specific

title deed condition that does not allow bene-ficiaries to sell their homes within the firsteight years of having received their proper-ty.Van Minnen says the City’s Housing Allo-

cations Policy states approved beneficiaries“shall not sublet thepropertyuntil the trans-fer of the property has been registered”.V Continued on page 2.

“If in breach, the City reserves theright to allocate and transfer the prop-erty to the next applicant on the data-base or to the person in occupation.The City, therefore, strongly discoura-ges the letting out of anRDPhouse thathas been received by a beneficiary.“If a person is found in contraven-

tion of the Allocation Policy, for exam-ple subletting the property before it istransferred into their name, the Cityhas the right to reclaim the propertyand allocate and transfer it to the nextqualifyingapplicant on theCity’s data-base,” Van Minnen explains.She further adds that a BNG benefi-

ciary isnot prevented fromrentingouttheir home after the transfer of theproperty has taken place.“However, the City strongly advises

against this and reserves the right toreallocate the units if the transfer hasnot yet taken place. The City is obligedto enforce its policy and will investi-gate anycontraventions in this regard.In order to do so, the City will need thecommunity to provide the names ofbeneficiaries who are suspected of en-gaging in such affairs.”Grassy Park police spokesperson

Warrant Officer Wynita Kleinsmithsays they can confirm that regularsearches are done at Shoebill Court.However,Kleinsmith says police are

“not aware of any gang activity cur-rently in Shoebill Court”.Criminal activities have however

taken place as Kleinsmith cites that aregistered casewas reported at the sta-tion.“The complainant alleged that she

was walking in Strandfontein road onSaturday 13 February when someoneunknown to her grabbed her bag andran. Her cell phone was inside the bagthat the suspect took,” Kleinsmithsays.She says the case was however only

reported on Thursday 3 March.In another case registered during

last year, Kleinsmith says the com-plainant alleged that she was sleepingwhen her neighbour “made a noise”.“When she addressed him he swore

at her. The suspect was arrested andappeared on related charges,” Klein-smith says.She adds the sector manager, Ser-

geantAlridge Isaacs, andassistant sec-tor manager Constable Kurt Oliphanthave a very good relationship withtheir neighbourhood watches and en-courage the community to joining theneighbourhood watch structures.V The police urge residents to report sector 3crime related issues to 082 522 2883.

A group of Kannemeyer Primary pupilsenjoyed a field trip recently when they

visited the Silvermine Nature Reserve.The 20 pupils visited the site on Saturday

19 March after it was made possible by theBoskabouter Foundation and MountainClub SA.

The purpose of the outing was to comparelife’s obstacles and the challenges thatyoungpeople facewithahike. The intentionwas to show that one should not give up, be-cause you never know how close you are toachieving your goal.

The trek, which was met with excitementfrom the group, lasted three and a halfhours.

Pupils gave their feedbackon the trek say-ing how they appreciated the experience.

Tara Abrahams (12) said she loved beingoutdoors.

“I love the beauty of nature and the out-door life and would do this again in a heart-beat. The exciting part for me was climbingup the rocks and enjoying the awesomeview from the top.”

Tamia Fortune (12) said the adventure en-tailed made it an unforgettable experience.

“It was the best experience for ourlearners. The walk was about two to threehours long.We could see LongBeach, Steen-berg and Lavender Hill. We hadmany stopswhichwaskind of irritating becausewe justwanted to move on. The fun part of the hikewas when we reached the dam, where weskipped stones on the water, which was re-ally fun. We also took a lot of photos and alizard chased us.”

Robin Hope (13) said she learned valuablelessons.

“I have learnt not to give up and not tobe scared of the mountains. I enjoyed thehike especiallywhenwe started to gohigher

and further up. When we reached the top Ifelt so good and proud of myself. We saw alot of things when we reached the top of themountain. When we came down from themountain it felt like we were going to falldown. The hike was the best experience Ihad in nature and I enjoyed myself tremen-dously,” Robin enthused.

The Boskabouter Foundation’s founderand director Shaun Petersen funded the en-tire trip for the day. Petersen, who lives in

America, said being fromLavenderHill andunderstanding that young people from im-poverished areas are looking for positiverole models, he wanted to do his bit to em-power as many youngsters as possible.

The Foundation aims to empower youngpeople from impoverished communities. Ituses various types of outdoor activities, likehiking, camping, team building and otheradventure activities to help them see howthey can overcome their own challenges.

Weed walk aims highNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

With 15 000 participants last year, the or-ganisers of the Cape Town Cannabis

Walk hope to grow the event to 45 000 thisyear.Organiser Jo Hout says the walk, now in

its 14th year, has been growing exponential-ly. Starting with only a handful of people in2002 as “the only thing society could do toshow support for cannabis legalisation”,thewalk saw 5000 participants in 2014, Houtsays.The increase in participation is due to a

growing awareness among the general pub-lic of the medicinal use of cannabis, Houtexplains.“More studies and research are being car-

ried out on the medicinal benefits of canna-bis and the USA has changed their classifi-cation of the drug. People are slowly beinggiven the right kind of information,” hesays.Hout believes legalising the drug would

open up a range of natural treatments for

illnesses such as epilepsy, cancer, HIV andneurodegenerative diseases, as well as thetreatment of pain and inflammation.“It’s a medicine that people can grow

themselves,” he says. “There are few sideeffects. If someone takes toomuch oxytocin,they’ll die. It’s impossible to ingest enoughcannabis to die.”In addition to hemp crops being an alter-

native industry and boosting job creation,Hout believes the income generated by tax-ing the drug would bring added benefits tothe economy.The Cannabis Walk provides a platform

for people to discuss the legalisation of can-nabis, Hout believes.“These topics are very under-debated be-

cause people are scared of being ostracised.The walk shows there’s a large communitythat supports legalisationandgoes tobreak-ing the stigma,” he says. “It’s a tool to starta conversation and slowly educate people.”V The Cannabis Walk takes place on Saturday 7 Mayat 10:00, starting at the corner of Tennant and Keiz-ersgracht streets. For more information, like the CapeTown Cannabis Walk page on Facebook.

An additional route has been approved forthe MyCiTi bus service.

TheCity of CapeTown’s Council approvedthe conceptual design of the MyCiTi routeT12 betweenMitchell’s Plain and Claremontand a portion of route T11 from Khayelitshato the intersection of Strandfontein Roadand New Ottery Road.The decision was passed on Thursday 31

March.Transport for Cape Town (TCT) will now

proceed with the detail design process alongthe proposed route alignments.Importantly, the conceptual design that

served before Council does not include theWynberg section as this part of Phase 2A oftheMyCiTi service is subject to a final courtruling.The conceptual design forms the basis for

the detail design process. The following keyelements have been finalised in the concep-tual design:

. The route alignment of the T11 and T12– the roads will allow an average operatingspeed of 30 km/h for the MyCiTi buses,

. Right of way – where the MyCiTi buseswill travel on dedicated red bus lanes andwithin mixed traffic,

. The location of the MyCiTi stations andstops – locations that will bring up to 80%of commuters within 500m of a station orstop, and

. Type of station – the type of stationsneeded along the routes to serve the numberof boarding and alighting passengers andtransfers between routes.The City has followed an extensive proc-

ess over a period of five years to reach thisstage of the proposed Phase 2A project:

. InOctober 2011 the council approved the

planninganddesignofPhase 2Aof theMyCi-Ti service,

. In June 2014 the council approved theCity’s Integrated Public Transport NetworkPlan which identified 10 new MyCiTi trunkroutes, inclusive of Phase 2A,

. From October 2014 until July 2015,Transport forCapeTownembarked ona sev-en-monthpublic participationprocess aboutthe proposed conceptual design of the T11and T12 routes,

. Following recent litigation concerningthe Wynberg section of Phase 2A, the T11 isnow proposed to terminate at the intersec-tion of Strandfontein Road and New OtteryRoad, and

. All matters relating to public transportin Wynberg are excluded until such time asa final court ruling has been made.All of the comments that were received

during the public participation process, ei-ther written or verbal, were considered andare captured in the report that served beforethe council.Some of these comments were addressed

during the review of the conceptual designprior to submitting it to the council and oth-ers, and will be addressed during the detaildesign process.Comments about theWynberg section are

captured in the report but have not been ad-dressed given the ongoing litigation. Apartfrom some of the comments about the Wyn-berg section, there is overwhelming supportfor Phase 2A of the MyCiTi service in theother communities.“It is clear from the comments that the res-

idents from the Cape Flats in particular areexcited about the project,” saysMaycomem-ber for transport, Brett Herron.

New MyCiTiroute approved

Machine to boost diggingThe City of Cape Town’s Water and Sani-tation Department has taken delivery ofa new piece of equipment set to expediteits bulk sewer upgrade programme.The AVN 800 XC Herrenknecht micro-

tunnelling machine was acquired at acost of just over R10.6m and comes withtechnology that enables safe, fast and effi-cient tunnelling in even themost difficultpipe jacking projects.The machine has been used in more

than 1000 projects around the world andwill be put to the test by CSV Construc-tion during the final phase of the CapeFlats 3 Bulk Sewer Project (CF3). The CF3(Phase 2) is a critical component of theCity’s sewer network and will serve apopulation of nearly one million resi-dents in theBonteheuwel, Heideveld,Ma-nenberg, Gugulethu and Nyanga areas.This project forms part of the City’s sani-

tation master plan to enhance the sewerreticulation system and will ultimatelybe completed by the end of 2017 at a totalcost of approximately R250m.“Acquiring this technology is a major

step forward for the City and will allowfor greater efficiency of future bulk pipereplacement projects. The project team isto be congratulated for their vision andinnovation. Staying on the cutting edgeof new technology is crucial to ensuringthat the City is able to provide the bestpossible service to residents,” says Ern-est Sonnenberg, the City’s Mayco mem-ber for utility services.The extra capacity that the CF3 con-

struction will provide will allow the Cityto periodically decommission other sew-er infrastructure in the area for much-needed maintenance, repairs and reha-bilitation.

The City of Cape Town has taken delivery of a new micro­tunnelling machine which hasa number of features set to speed up the digging of underground tunnels to lay sewerpipes, as part of the R250 million sanitation master plan.

Athletics action is coming to the city tohonour a star of yesteryear and pay trib-

ute to some heroes of the past.The gala schools athletics meet will be

staged at Green Point Athletics on TuesdayApril 12 to honour the memory of starsprinter Kenny Roman, who died recently,as well as recognising the achievementsand contributions of the stars of yesteryear.

A number of the peninsula’s top seniorschools, including Harold Cressy, Trafal-gar, South Peninsula, Athlone, Wittebomeand Spine Road, will send athletes to partic-ipate. These schools have historically beenstrong performers at athletics days.

The driving force behind the event is thenot-for-profit community organisation PlaySport4Life which has already arranged anumber of successful events in the Kensing-ton-Factreton-Maitland area in recentmonths.

The Kenny Roman Memorial Day willstart at 15:00 with the same venue also host-ing a “Schools Olympics” day for primaryschool learners as part of the 100th birthdaycelebrations of St John’s Primary School inKensington.

The founder of Play Sport4Life, Miles Oc-tober, said he hoped that people who hadfond memories of Kenny Roman sprintingin his heyday in the late sixties and earlyseventies would join the young athletes onthe day.

Roman died in Brisbane, Australia, lastmonth, aged 69, after a long illness.

“Kenny left behind a legacy in athletics

which deserves to be remembered,” Octo-ber said.

“As a community organisation, we workhard to develop and nurture individuals toserve as future role models for our commu-nity, involve more girls and women insport, and encourage individuals to becomeprofessional athletes.

“What better way to show what an idealrole model could be than by holding up theachievements of Kenny Roman as sprintchampion and star baseball pitcher?

“Hopefully among the young athletescompeting on the day, there are a few whowould go on to become a role model in ourcommunity.”

October added that while they were build-ing on the future, the organisation was alsofocussed on acknowledging past achieve-ments.

“We cannot let the circumstances of ourpast dictate that our history be forgotten. Ithas to be acknowledged.

“In order for us to shape our future, weneed to know our past and the people whomade significant contributions in all walksof life, including sport.”

The organisation is also arranging for anumber of top athletes of yesteryear to bepart of the proceedings of the Kenny RomanMemorial Day.

“It is going to be a roll-call of our best fromthe past,” October said.

Athletes will be competing in girls andboys sections at u.14, u.16 and open levels.There will also be a march past.V For more information contact Nazlie Dollie on071 386 6573, email [email protected] or visitwww.playsport4life.org.

From ‘silly start’ to jazz festivalGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Sometimes the journey to becom-ing a master at your craft has

the silliest of starts – for trumpeterDarren English it was a chancepurchase of a harmonica that led tohim gracing the stages of majorjazz festivals and gigs across theworld.Jazz lovers in South Africa need

little introduction to the youngmaestro from Strandfontein whoattended Muizenberg High School.He is back home having played

at the Cape Town InternationalJazz Festival but since leaving ourshores to study in Atlanta his ca-reer has been booming and he’sjust released his debut CD to somefantastic reviews in the USA.It all started in 2012 when the 22-

year-old, at the time, was awardedthe FMR and Samro OverseasScholarships and left to pursue hisMasters degree at Georgia StateUniversity (GSU).“In the short number of years

that I have decided to make the USmy base, I have had some incredi-ble opportunities,” he says.“This includes touring through-

out the USA and Europe, perform-ing and recording with some of myall time heroes in music.“I first started touringwith a few

bands overweekendswhilst still atGSU, which eventually led to week

long tours, which became monthlong tours and even longer.”Since then as one of the “hip”

young musicians on the scene hehas performedwith some of the bignames on the jazz scene.These include Grammy award

winning vocalist, Carmen Brad-ford (from the Count Basie Orches-tra, who is also featured on his al-bum), trumpeters Russell Gunn,Joe Gransden, and drummer Jim-my Cobb who played with MilesDavis for many years.

The first timeReleasing his album, Imagine

Nation, has been a special time.“We’ve been getting great writ-

ten reviews in the USA and the UKjust a week and a half after our re-lease,” he says excitedly.“I’ve had album opportunities

present themselves before, but thistime, it felt right to not only recordan album, but also to be signedwith a great label (Hot ShoeRecords) at the age of 23.“The record company and its

CEO have been so generous (inmoreways imaginable) and just re-ally amazing toworkwith. They al-lowed me to present my ideas/con-cepts for the album and they “putthe ball in my court”.”One of the compositions that has

been standing out in all the re-views is Darren’s suite dedicationto Nelson Mandela.

“I remember in 2013 when Nel-son Mandela passed away and Iwas devastated by his passingwhich then leadme to write a suiteof works for him.“When I presented it to the

record label they loved the ideaandwe started working on the musi-cians to fit the project.“I’m excited with the album just

by mere fact of having some of mymusical heroes who have becomeclose friends featured on it, includ-ing Carmen Bradford, Greg Tardy,Russell Gunn, Joe Gransden, Ken-ny Banks Jr., Billy Thornton, andChris Burroughs – we even have arecorded interview of NelsonMan-dela played over a composition ofmine entitled Pledge for Peace.”Looking back at the “silly” start

he recalls that his mentor FredKuit, who is in charge of the musicprogramme that has produced somany maestros in recent years,was actually his English teacher.“In one class we had to have a

prepared oral but me, being meback then, thought I would justmake something up.“By chance the weekend before

we were in a mall and for funbought a harmonica. My youngerbrother and I, I was 13 at the time,just walked around blowing it andlaughing hysterically. I then spentthat entire weekend blowing in-and-out on this harmonica and I re-membered that the week before I

heard the school band perform OhWhen The Saints Go Marching Infor assembly.“Somehow I worked out how to

play it so guess what happenedwhenmy name was called for oral.“I walk up, with nothing at all,

but I pulled my harmonica out ofmy blazer and I said: ‘Mr Kuit, Idon’t have a prepared oral, but Ican play the harmonica’.“Of course the entire class

breaks out laughing, and I fearedgoing to the principal’s office but

Kuit was caught of guard andlaughed with, and said: ‘Go ahead,let’s hear it’.“It did not start well but eventu-

ally I got into the tune and every-one started cheering me on. Forthe first time, with my mushroom“Beatles” haircut and all, I felt likea rock star.”

Turning PointDarren won’t reveal the grade

that he got but added that Kuitthen invited him to the musicroom the next day.“I didn’t go for a while, until be-

tween classes one day and I sawhim sitting outside the musicroom playing a trumpet, and hecalled me, asking me if I’d like totry it.“I remember asking him after I

tried blowing through it, “wheredo you switch it on?”, he laughedand explained.“That was the turning point and

before I knew it, I was playing thecornet everyday after school, andquit allmy extra-mural sport activ-ities and just devoted my time toplaying the horn.V On Friday 8 April Darren will be joininghis friend drummer Claude Cozens for aconcert at the Slave Church, 40 LongStreet. They will be joined by guitaristKeenan Ahrends and Sibusiso Matsimelaon bass. For more information https://www.facebook.com/events/501015146768734/.

thrctDarren English, trumpeter from

Strandfontein is blowing up a stormto celebrate the release of his debutCD.

Some of South Africa’s favourite songbirdswill be coming together at the GrandWestGrand Arena on Saturday 7May for the Peo-ple’s Post Soul SistersMother’s DayCelebra-tion.The concert which will see Three Tons of

Fun, Judith Sephuma,Vicky Sampson, JodyWilliams, Salome Johansen, Maddy Abra-hams and Can Skylark share the stage withCamillo Lombard and a 12 piece band aswellas MC Marguerita Freeks.People’s Post caught up with Can Skylark

ahead of the concert..What are you busy withmusically at

the moment?“Currently, I’ve been busy with The Mo-

tive over the last few months. It’s my musicskills development initiative my team andI have founded. It’s a really great opportuni-ty for the selected aspiring artists, where weteach themall they need to know aboutwhatit’s like being an artist in themusic industryand showcase their talents to the world. Theproject is very dear to my heart and allowsme to do and inspire others to do what theylove. At the moment we’re busy in the stu-dio, writing and developing original songsfor the artists for the show in July.”

. What are your musical plans for thenext few months?“After The Motive Show in July (I’m very

excited about it), I’ll be heading overseas todo a few shows in the USA. The outstandinglove that my single “Timebomb” received,have openedup some great doors forme; I’vebeen recording and releasing some singlesthere too. I’ll be working on my third studioalbum with some amazing producers in LosAngeles, USA while there, one being SteveValenzuela, who’s just produced new musicfor Eric Benet.I’m also working closely with great song-

writers in South Africa for the album, andhave another Can Skylark stage productionplanned for later in the year when I comeback, so I’ll try to have some down timewithall the work going on.”

. How will you be treating your moth-er this Mother’s Day?“Unfortunately, mymother lives overseas

in Kuwait, and I miss her dearly. We spendas much time as we can together when she’sin SA, so I spoil her rotten as often as I can!

My sisters and I Skype with and talk to herquite often, so on the rare occasion we getto spend time together we do all the girlythings and have so much fun.”

. Why is your mother special to you?“My mother is special to me, because she

taught me how to be a strong woman andhow to accept your flaws and celebrate yourstrengths. A mother’s job is never reallydone and I think that we should show allwomen, not just mothers, unconditionallove and appreciation. Women have a veryspecial gift of compassion and I think it’s anamazing gift. Let’s show our support to allwomenout there.We’re really veryblessed.”

. Are you planning any surprises fortheaudienceat thePeople’sPostSoulSis-ters Mother’s Day Celebration?“I don’twant to reveal toomuch, so be sure

to get your tickets to support the show! Onething’s for sure though, let’s just say, it’s go-ing to be H-O-T!”V Tickets for this soulful celebration cost betweenR165 and R250 and are available at Computicket.

IN THE GARDEN

Stay waterwise in winterEven with winter approaching, you stillneed to be water wise in your garden.Water is our most precious resource, so

we need to explore adapting our gardens byplanting more water wise plants.Besides requiring less water, indigenous

plants also reduce air pollution and pro-mote biodiversity and stewardship of ournatural heritage. However, there seems tobe a misconception that indigenous plantslack colour which is why there has been abit of resistance to planning and plantingindigenous gardens.Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Plants such as Gazania, Bauhinia galpiniiand Cape honeysuckle (Tecomacapensis)provide a blaze of orange which can be con-trastedwith the gentle blues of agapanthus,plumbago and felicia, while pink indigof-era and anisodonte and the violet flowersof tinnia barbata can provide a pretty back-ground to amixed border. The possibilitiesand combinations are endless.One spectacular but hardy plant that can

withstand periods of drought is agapan-thus. The thick, fleshy roots store waterand food and they thrive and flower copi-ously if planted in full sun with welldrained soil and plenty of compost. Whenflowering they add lovely colour to a gar-den from blue purple to white and some-times even pink. Theymake attractive con-tainer plants, even when not in flower, andare excellent cut flowers.Beetroot is another veggie that is easy to

grow. It does best in partial or full sun.Beetsmight have the highest sugar contentof all vegetables, but they are also rich innutrients and most people can safely eatbeetroot a few times a week. Drinking beet-root juice lowers blood pressure, boostsyour stamina and fights inflammation.Beets are also rich in fibre and help withdetox.Make use of the last of the summer sun-

shine to plant veggies for hearty wintersoups. Why not try radish, leeks, beetroot,turnips and onions?Remember to plant early in the morning

or late in the afternoon as the midday sunwill make it far more difficult for newplants to cope.V This column was contributed by Stodels. Read morewater-wise gardening tips in People’s Post the firstweek of every month or visit www.stodels.com.

A history ofmotoringSince our two boys were very young, Iused to read aloud to them in ourcaravan at Midmar Dam in KZN whilstmy wife was preparing supper, after anenergetic day in dinghies on the water.The habit stuck, and now, forty yearslater, I still read aloud to my wife overtea or coffee whilst she is busy withtapestries, cross-stitch, needlework andother pastimes.Our selection of literature is wide and

varied, ranging from the Bible toclassics, novels, biographies, history,travel and whatever books come tohand.We are members of car clubs, and,

although not technical, from time totime I have started to read books ofautomotive interest. Previously, by thethird chapter, my wife implored me toread something else, as her interest hadwaned. So it was with some trepidationthat I embarked on “Our Intrepid CapeMotoring Pioneers”. But this isn’t abook about motors and motorists,although both certainly feature. It is aseries of vignettes from the periodmid-1890s to mid-1940s. There is muchdescriptive background to each aspect ofmotoring, and the volume is beautifullyillustrated with contemporary black-and-white photographs. It portrays lifeand events over the whole period andcovers all aspects of motoring in itswidest sense. These include adventuresoverland from Cairo and Europe toCape Town, as well as motor racing atthe Pollsmoor Track, and motor vehicleand motorbike involvement throughoutsouthern Africa during two World Wars.The competitive element of cars

racing trains between Cape Town andJohannesburg is full of excitement, andaircraft are not left out with chapterson Wings over Africa and London toCape Town flights.The book is so well-written and with

such attention to detail. Little knowngems, such as why the Shell Oil Compa-ny is so called emerge in passing. It istruly a riveting read which kept mywife’s interest till the very last page.

JOHN A HARESNAPETokai

Nomercy for thosewho rape, murderI have a radical inexpensive rape solu-tion to the current rape epidemic inSouth Africa.I believe once a person has been

convicted of rape or murder the followingshould happen:Rapists:. They must be castrated. This will

prevent them from attacking anotherperson in the future.

. They must be tattooed with anidentifying “R” in the middle of theirforehead.This will ensure that the public know

that they have offended before. They willbe scarred for life, just like their victims.Currently there is no way of identify-

ing offenders. The “R” will be theirbadge.They will be ousted by the community

and will be shamed all of their lives andso will their families – a major deterrentfor any sane person. They will be easilyidentifiable to potential employers,landlords, and communities that theywant to be involved with. Being easilyidentified will assist the public makedecisions about these people.

They will be picked on and generallytreated badly. This will be a majordeterrent for other offenders.They do not go to jail. They must live

their lives as outcasts. This will be aharder sentence plus will help reducenumbers in the overflowing jail system.

. They must be able to survive but willstruggle to get into normal employment,therefore they could work in work groupsdeveloped for rapist to work togetherdoing good work for the communities –e.g. beach cleaning teams, rhino protec-tion etc.They get paid from the jail system by

the money that they would have neededto house them in jail.Murderers:. Bring back the death sentence for all

murders. The victims’ families can choose how

the criminal will die if they want too.. The victims’ families can participate

in the execution of these murderers. Less people in jail. A major deterrent to other offenders

DALLAS BROUGHTONEmail

Good riddance to dog permitsThanks for highlighting this silly bu-reaucracy (“City officers let barking dogslie”, People’s Post 29 March).Being usually a law-abiding citizen I

registered all my domestic pets inaccordance with JP Smith’s stern instruc-tions, three dogs and three cats.By the time I received my permit, two

years later, one of the dogs and all thecats had died of old age and we hadmoved house.His control measures were worthless,

and remain so.It is like licensing bicycles, simply not

worth the effort and all that happens isthe City Council makes fools of them-selves.I generally hold the Council and JP

Smith in high regard, but this was anown goal, a blunder worthy of otherparties and JP should quietly bury it andmove on.

Perfect Cape Townweather, close racingand a fair share of controversywere allpart of the script atKillarney’s opening

round of the 2016 South African NationalKarting Championship, but the weekendwill likely better be remembered for the factthat local drivers proved totally dominant.According to a press release by WPMC

Kart Club, Western Province MotorsportClub karters Julian van derWatt, Dino Ster-min, Sebastian Boyd, Joseph Oelz and CharlVisser eachwononeof the fivenational cate-gories that made up the meeting. Local rac-ers also won thirteen of Saturday’s fifteenraces and with most classes offering theirchampions a seat in the Rotax Max WorldFinals in Italy inOctober, Cape karting onceagain started the season on a high note.Killarney is well-known as a hard nut to

crack for visiting karters and Saturdayproved no exception with three of the win-ners unbeaten over the weekend, but thisyear saw a local lad coming out on top of thefastest Rotax DD2 shifter class too for thefirst time when Formula Ford frontrunnerJulian van der Watt (Kosmic) came from be-hindeach time tobeatSADD2championandJozi Polo Cup racer Bradley Liebenberg (Bi-rel) and Masters class winner, Port Eliza-beth’s multiple SA Production Car champi-on and GTC racer, Michael Stephen.Another Cape driver and VW Polo Cup

racerUmpie Swart (Birel)was fourth inDD2from Durbanite Benjamin Habig (TonyK-art), former WP champ Jonathan Thomas(PartnersCRG),Bloemdriver JustinAllison(Tony Kart) and Tristan de Nobrega, RobertWhiting andMichael Buchholz rounding offthe top ten.The open age group 125cc RotaxMaxChal-

lenge is one class where Cape drivers haveregularly dominated over the years and thisyear was no exception. Reigning SA JuniorMax champion Dino Stermin (Kosmic) over-

came a difficult first heat to take two hard-fought wins to take overall honours for theday.Although it was no walk in the park, Se-

bastian Boyd (Kosmic) made nomistakes enroute to three fine race wins and a dominantmaiden national high school 125cc JuniorMax victory over local rival Daniel Duminywho drove a characteristically steady week-end to bring his Kosmic home. In secondplace was Johannesburg driver BlaineRademeyer (Birel), Worcester lad JP Ham-man (Kosmic), Mozambican Karl Pitzer(FA), Durbanite Dominic Lincoln (Tony)and local lad Andrew Rackstraw (Tony).Cameron O’Connor, Storm Lanfear and

Jason Coetzee rounded off the Junior Maxtop ten, but Coetzee,whowas second toBoydin the first and third heats, was party to acontroversial second heat last lap that sawhim excluded from that heat andDario Busi,who had led most of that heat excluded forthe day for their parts in some questionablelast lap race two tactics…Theremay have been just one Cape driver

on the other primary school 60cc Mini Rokgrid, but that did not preventwildcardCharlVisser (Zanardi) fromwinning it.Visserwasfirst home in all three races, but was dockedfive places for a startline infringement tohand Kwanda Makoena (FA) a rare out oftown victory in the finale.Visser’sMiniRokwinwashowever all the

more impressive considering that hebounced straight back to win the secondMini Rok race immediately after being sig-nificantly shaken up when thrown from hiskart in a hefty second race Maxteino crash.Now all that remains to be seen is if Cape

Town’s karters can continue to dominate thenational races away from home. The secondround of the SA national karting champion-ship follows in Port Elizabeth on WorkersDay 1 May.
