City's YouthStartCT 2019 Entrepreneurial Challenge winners announced

The winners of the fourth instalment of the City of Cape Town’s annual youth entrepreneurial challenge were announced at a gala event at the Cape Town Civic Centre last night

The City of Cape Town's Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Zahid Badroodien, handed over first prize to Jade Wyngaardt from Afriversity for her innovative initiative which takes learners from disadvantaged communities and leaners with functional disabilities and teaches them how to code, design websites and run marketing campaigns for small businesses in their communities.<table width="100%" class="ms-rteTable-default" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default" style="width:33.33%;">1st prize </td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default" style="width:33.33%;">Afriversity</td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default" style="width:33.33%;">Jade Wyngaardt</td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">1st runner up </td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default">IKasi Tutor</td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">Nkululo Gugu</td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default" rowspan="2">2nd runner up - tie </td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default">AutoPrecision Engineering (Pty) Ltd</td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">Mphindeleli Qalazive </td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableFooterRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableFooterEvenCol-default" rowspan="1">The Herold's</td><td class="ms-rteTableFooterOddCol-default" rowspan="1">Caleb Herold </td></tr></tbody></table> ‘As the City of Cape Town, we know that an investment in the youth is an investment in the future - this is why this project was started. Being an entrepreneur is a meaningful way to take charge of your own future, creating a better life for yourself and those around you. Many of our young people have brilliant ideas, but do not know how to bring their vision to life or how to take it to the next level and this initiative gives much-needed guidance and support,’ said the City's Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato. <div class="image-gallery-slider img-gal-1" id="img-gal-1" data-slides="3" data-slide="1" style="height:493.5px;"><div class="image-gallery-content" style="height:414px;"> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-1"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/youth%20start1.jpg" alt="" style="width:1004px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> <a title="title" href="#"> </a>The winners of the fourth instalment of the City of Cape Town’s annual youth entrepreneurial challenge </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-2"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/youth%20start2.jpg" alt="" style="width:1024px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="itemSlide slide-left slide-3"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/youth%20start3.jpg" alt="" style="width:834px;" /> <figcaption class="image-slide-text" style="display:none;"> The winners of the fourth instalment of the City of Cape Town’s annual youth entrepreneurial challenge </figcaption> </figure> </div><div class="image-gallery-control"><div class="image-gallery-caption"> <a title="title" href="#"> Aerial view of Cape Town</a> - Loren ipsum dolor sit amet loren ipsum dolor sit amet Loren ipsum dolor sit amet.</div><div class="image-gallery-nav"><div class="nav-info">1 of 3</div><div class="slide-next"> </div><div class="slide-prev"> </div></div></div></div> The #YouthStartCT Entrepreneurial Challenge aims to provide young Cape Town entrepreneurs, aged between 18 and 35, with an opportunity to start up or grow their business. The programme supports entrepreneurs in commercialising, expanding as well as monetising their businesses through their practical training and mentorship programme. In order to be eligible, candidates were required to have a start-up idea that is already, or has the potential, to create sustainable jobs. Competitors were offered support to help them commercialise their solutions through a dynamic training and mentorship programme, which is focused on developing both the entrepreneur and their business idea. 'The YouthStartCT challenge is an accelerator programme for start-up entrepreneurs, with the main aim to encourage entrepreneurship and contribute to skills development and innovation in Cape Town. Throughout the challenge, these young entrepreneurs were provided with training and development opportunities. The winners will now have a chance to partner with the City on projects that will uplift job seekers and provide sustainable employment opportunities,' said Councillor Badroodien.

Siyabonga, Siyabonga

We are very proud of Siyabonga for always going beyond the call of duty and giving our commuters a pleasant experience

The 37-year-old Siyabonga, whose name means ‘We are grateful’ in isiZulu, has been working as a regulator at the MyCiTi Civic Centre station for three years now. He lives in Khayelitsha and has three children. Over the past few months, the City has received numerous compliments from commuters about Siyabonga and the exceptional customer service he delivers daily. Siyabonga is a natural leader who gets his inspiration from his father who told him that children must always strive to be better than their parents. Commuters and co-workers have said that one cannot miss him as he captures the attention of people as they enter the Civic Centre Station. He assists commuters with logistical needs like bus time schedules, alternate buses, and other queries. This he does with a very friendly face and a joke in between which puts a smile on commuters’ faces. ‘Siyabonga’s story warms my heart. He epitomises service excellence and selflessness. He is a true gem by going out of his way to help people in need – from our MyCiTi commuters to motorists. A plus is that he expects nothing back. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/MyCiTi%20certificate_S%20Jubeju_IMG_2207_2019-06-26.jpg" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure>‘He has a very positive disposition and rubs off on everyone around him. Commuting can be tough, especially after a long day, and Siyabonga makes life just a bit easier for those who need help. South Africa and the city needs more Siyabongas,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Alderman Felicity Purchase. A commuter once lost his business phone and Siyabonga found it and called the last dialled number, which turned out to be the number of the office of the correspondent. The phone was handed over in the same condition. Needless to say, the commuter could not stop raving about this act of honesty and kindness. On Friday, 31 May 2019, he helped a family in distress after their car caught fire right across from the Artscape. Siyabonga responded swiftly and put his own life at risk to douse the fire. His quick response saved the car from burning out. ‘He sets an example to all of us to be more caring and kind to our fellow Capetonians. I am very proud of Siyabonga for always going beyond the call of duty and giving our commuters a pleasant experience. Siyabonga kakhulu Siyabonga,’ said Alderman Purchase. End

City honours clients for various Matrix® milestones

The City’s substance abuse treatment programme celebrated more milestones today, just a week after the launch of the 7th Matrix® site in Eerste River

The City’s substance abuse treatment programme celebrated more milestones today, just a week after the launch of the 7th Matrix® site in Eerste River.A combined certificate ceremony was hosted in Goodwood for 192 clients who have participated in and completed the programme, and also some who have previously completed the programme and are assisting others in social support groups at the respective treatment sites. City Health also acknowledged 17 family members who completed the family education programme.The event also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Delft South Matrix® site which coincides with International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The City of Cape Town first introduced the substance abuse treatment programme in 2008, with the launch of the first facility in Tafelsig. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Cllr%20Zahid%20Badroodien.jpg" alt="" style="width:850px;" /> </figure>Other sites followed in Delft South, Town Two in Khayelitsha, Albow Gardens in Milnerton, Parkwood, Manenberg and most recently, Eerste River. ‘We have come a long way since 2008, but the battle against addiction rages on and requires more of us. Substance abuse continues to devastate individuals, households and communities. But there are many others who have, and continue to tackle their addiction head-on by seeking help through the Matrix® programme and other interventions, and who are making a difference in their lives. I commend those clients for their courage and determination and I wish them well on their journey,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.The City’s substance abuse programme is open to anyone over 18 and follows the evidence-based Matrix® model. Treatment consists of three to four sessions a week including counselling for clients and their families, skills that help clients stay sober, a relapse prevention group focusing on living without alcohol and drugs as well as a social support group.The programme has an 83% clean drug test rate. Some of the challenges identified include a lack of family support; homeless clients who do not have accommodation; and clients who are pressured to seek employment, often resulting in them dropping out of the programme. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Tafelsig%20Matrix%20Team%20IMG_1042.jpg" alt="" style="width:932px;" /> </figure>‘It’s been proven that clients who have the support of their family, are more likely to complete the programme and remain sober. I ,therefore, encourage family members and friends to lend support, encouragement and positive reinforcement to our clients. It is not an easy feat, because with addiction comes distrust and disappointment; but there are also countless stories where addicts have turned the corner, so my call to families is to not give up and seek help and guidance from our Matrix® sites, as the programme does accommodate this,’ added Councillor Badroodien.

City extends its condolences following the tragic death of crime fighters

Deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends of two members of the safety and security fraternity who died in the line of duty in recent days.

My deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends of two members of the safety and security fraternity who died in the line of duty in recent days.The South African Police Service has confirmed the death of a sergeant based at the Steenberg police station who was shot in Lavender Hill late last night, while pursuing a group of suspects. He passed away in hospital.The incident happened on the same night that I attended a gathering for the late Ignatius van Rooyen of the Milnerton Ridge Neighbourhood Watch (NW), who tragically lost his life this past weekend when he was shot by suspected hijackers while on patrol in Montague Gardens.These incidents are among the many murders that have left our city reeling. Gang-related murders, in particular, constitute a serious emergency. In this regard, the City has called for an urgent meeting with the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Western Cape Department of Community Safety. We will repurpose all resources at our disposal to assist the SAPS, particularly in known hot spots. The death of any person at the hands of violent criminals is a tragedy and deserves an outcry from the whole community, but even more so when it is a member of our safety and security fraternity.The City works closely with neighbourhood watches through our NW Support Programme and we value the work that they do. The City will do whatever it can to help the family of the fallen member and the rest of the NW fraternity cope with this loss and bring the criminals to justice, because without them our communities would be far less safe for everyone else. It is heart-breaking that the life of someone as committed as Van Rooyen had to be cut short so abruptly. He was always willing to help everyone around him and make sacrifices for his community. He died doing something that he cared about very deeply.Van Rooyen’s memorial service will be held at Theo Marais Park in Tanzanite Street, Milnerton, at 13:00 on Thursday 27 June 2019.While the SAPS have yet to publicly confirm the identity of their fallen officer, I extend my condolences to his family, colleagues and friends and wish them strength during this very difficult time.The City’s Safety and Security Investigative Unit will reach out to the South African Police Service to offer assistance with both investigations. We also call on anyone with information to please come forward and contact the South African Police Service or the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by dialling <a>021 480 7700</a> from a cellphone, or <a>107</a> from a landline.
