We also played played a feature done by Sakhisizwe Producer Tina George. On the winner of the Vuleka Art Competition that was held in September. Vuleka is hosted annually by the Arts Association of Bellville in conjunction with Sanlam.

Final decisions will be announced by Friday 26 October. This festival is on the weekend of the 2 - 4 November.

We closed off the show with an interview with Denzel Ramedies – Station Commander from the Wynberg Fire and Rescue Services. The city of Cape Town wants to stomp out stompies. They are set to take action against people who throw their cigarettes butts from their cars. The Fire Safety Amendment By-Law regulates the fire safety in the Cape Metropole. The latest amendment stipulates that a person who throws a lit match or cigarette, that is likely to cause a fire, from a vehicle, will be culpable to a fine. Residents who witness transgressions of the by-law can phone the 24 hour Emergency Control Centre on (021) 424 77 15. You must provide the location, date and time of the incident and a description of the vehicle.
