Thecallthatneverstops,butwhathappenswhenitdoes

He neverwantedthatfor me.He wanted me to think. To reason.To push back

On Sunday 21 June,while many people celebrated fathers, Ifound myself thinking notabout grandgestures, but abouta phonecallatsix in the morning.

Withoutfail, my phonerings at aboutsix o’clock. Ialready know howitbegins.

“How didyou sleep?” Then: “How’s theweather over there?” Andeventually:“What areyour plansfor today?” What once felt routinenow feels like agiftI didnot know Iwas receiving. Becauseone day, Iknow, thephone will stop ringing.

THEMANBEHINDTHECALL

My father is notthe hero I imagined when Iwas young. He is somethingbetter, ahuman being whohas spenta lifetime choosing hisfamily, andwho continuesto do so

He is stubborn.Heisproud.And Ilovehim in away that hasgrown deeper andmorecomplicated with everyyear.

Father’s Daystirs somethingI cannotfully name.Itisthe weight that comeswithunderstanding, finally,whatsomeone hasbeen doingfor youall along.

Growingup, we spokeabout the structureofmanyAfrican homes, wherechildrenobeywithout question becauseanelder hasspoken.

He believed achild whoonly obeys hasnot been educated,he hasbeen domesticated Research from asystematic review in Acta Paediatrica found that thequality of father-child communication is linked to fewer behaviouralproblems, better academic outcomes andstronger emotionalregulationeffects that endure into adulthood

My father spoketomelikeI was worthspeakingto. Ionlyunderstood what that meantmuchlater

“ANDITHANDIUKUBETHA”

Ionceasked my father whyhe choseconversationovercorporal punishment

“Corporalpunishmentisthe laziestformofpunishment,”hesaid. “Itgetscompliance. Quickresults Butitdoesnot teacha childwhy they were wrong. ”

Thetwo timesI recall himdiscipliningmewithhis belt,itnever beganinanger.Italwaysbegan with thesamewords

“Andithandiukubetha.”I do not like to beat someone. Then came theexplanation.The standard.The expectation. The lessonmatteredmorethanthe punishment.Hewas parentingfor character, notcompliance. Research on childdevelopment studiesconfirmswhathepractised by instinct

Thequality of thefather-child relationship,not thestrictnessof discipline,iswhatshapesa child.

WHENTHEROLESSHIFT

Ageing hasa wayofteaching children lessons too.

It teachesusthatour parents arehuman.Thattheybecome tired. Vulnerable.Resistant to help.There is aparticulargrief in watching aparentslowdown, not thesuddengrief of loss, butthe slow griefoftransition. Of watchingsomeone whooncecarried you begintoneed carrying.

Today, I find myself telling himto rest.Toslowdown. To letpeople in.Tohaveboundries.Sometimes theshiftingofroles arrivesbefore youare readyfor it.But love is not theabsence of difficulty. Love is extendingthe same patience he once extended to me

My father mayhavefaced disappointments he neverfully named. Buthenever failed at beinga father.And if youmeet me,chances areyou have alreadymet him. He is stillmyhero, notbecause he is invincible,but becausehe neverwas.I still find comfortin thememoriesofhim tuckingmein bedatnight When he showed up forthe milestones andthe ordinary moments. He raised me with intention. Yes, thememoriesmay sound ordinary,but they areanything but. They aregifts In acountry whereabsentfathers have become so commonthat many children grow up expectingless, Inever hadtowonder whethermyfatherwould be there. Inever hadtoquestionwhether Imatteredtohim.I neverhad to competefor hisattentionorearn

hispresence. Hislovewas not somethingI hadtochase.Itwas simply there. He showed up consistently,faithfully andintentionally

AWORDTOTHEFATHERS

This column is nota performance of gratitude. It is an invitation To everypresent father:what youdointhe quietmoments is not small. Youare building something in your childthatnoschool or institutioncan replicate. It does notrequire perfection.Itrequires presence

To thosewho have lost their fathers: what waspouredintoyou does notdisappear when they do It livesinhow youshowupfor others

Iamaware that noteveryone readsthiscolumnwithwarmth. Forsome, Father’s Dayisa hard day.

Absenceisnot always physical Thereare fatherswho live under thesameroof andremainunreachable, presentinbody, absent in attention, in conversation,in warmth.Childrenare notonly lookingfor aroof over theirheads They arelookingfor awitness to theirlives Theexplanation you nevergavecan stillbegiven.You do nothavetobeperfect to begin. Youonlyhavetobegin.Say the hard thing. Say: Iwas notthere in theway Ishouldhavebeen.I am here now. That sentence,spoken with sincerity, hasrebuilt things that looked beyond repair Becauseone day, thephone will stop ringing. Andthere is no preparingfor that silence.

Danielsaddedthatthe facility is situated closetoresidential areasand that an eventofthisscale mayplace “additional strain on lawenforcement,trafficservices, emergency services andmunicipal resources”

“While theCitywas stillrequestingpublic inputand community buy-in,videospromoting andadvertising theevent,including theevent date,had alreadybeen posted by theorganiser…thiscreates theimpression that thehosting of theevent hadalready been predetermined before meaningful engagement with theMaitland community hadtaken place.”

TheMRRA believes more suitable venues, such as the14thAvenuesports fieldorthe Green PointStadium precinct,are better equippedtohostanevent of this scale.

Theassociationhas urgedauthorities to carefully consider residents’ objections before granting anypermits,liquorlicencesornoise exemptions forthe festival

Thespecies chosen forthe event were farfromrandom. Among thosegoing into thegroundwere Lobeliapinifolia,Hermannia pinnata, Otholobium decumbens, Struthiola dodecandra, and Phylicaericoides, most of them new additionstothe garden,selected to buildonand complement last year’s planting,someofwhich have nowestablished beautifully andevenbegun to multiply Nick Fordyce, chairofFriends of theLiesbeek,saidthe selectionwas driven by multiple considerations

“Someare practicalchoices where hardygroundcover is needed to outcompete grassand weed growth,orwhere bank stabilisation is needed.Someare aesthetic choices, to addaninteresting mix of colour andtexture.Wealso choseplantswithmedicinal values andfragrantplants.

“But,above all, thegoalisindigenous diversity.” That diversityisalready paying dividends. By selectingplantsthat flower at differenttimes of year thegardenisdesignedtoprovide year-round habitatfor pollinators andbirds.“As soon as some native plantdiversity is restored,pollinating insectsand birdsare able to usethisnewly createdresource,” Fordycenotes

Said Fordyce: “Byadding native riparian plants andmakingminor adjustmentstothe landscapeand theaccompanying stormwater infrastructure we candemonstrate theeasewithwhich nature-based solutionsoutperformhard infrastructure when it comesto problems like ageing stormwater drainage andcatchment-wide flooding.”

It’s an approach that positions thegardennot just as agreen amenity, butasa workingpiece of urbaninfrastructure, onethatinvitesresidents to seethe surroundinglandscape as an extensionof theriver andpartofits catchment.

Recent additionsofbenches and bins have made theFynbosSnake more than aplace to plant; it’s becoming aplace to pause.

“It’shardtosay what thegarden meanstothe community,” Fordyce reflected, “but we have certainly seen people usingthe spaceand appreciating it.Our hope is that it becomesa site wherethe community feelsa senseofstewardship for thegardenand itsbiodiversityand having volunteersjoinfor planting days is an importantpartofthat process. ”

“I am scared becausewesimply don’tknowwhatwillhappen. Thereare people whomay seize this opportunitytocause trouble,” said BernyBokemo, aDemocratic Republic of Congonationalliving in Cape Town

As SouthAfricabracesfor nationwide anti-immigrationmarches plannedfor today(30 June), many foreignnationals saytheyare grippedbyfearand uncertainty, with growingconcernsthatthe demonstrations couldspiralinto violence

Forthe past fewmonths, groups of anti-immigrationprotestors, some carryingsticks, have been protesting across thecountry chanting “Mabahambe”, aZulu phrase meaning“They must go.”

Bokemo said he fearsthe planned protests couldturnviolent and leaveforeign nationalsvulnerable.

“I am scared;wedon’t know what

will happen. Thereare people who aregoing to take chances.”

Bokemo said he hasbeen living in thecountry forabout 10 years. He believes stricter enforcement policies should be implemented at SouthAfrican bordersand immigrationoffices. “How do people enter? They enterbythe border People workingatthe border and immigrationofficesare corrupt Thequestionshouldbeasked,how arepeopleallowedtoenter without documents?”

Bokemo said many migrants have builtlives in thecountry after fleeingconflictand have livedherefor yearswithout theirimmigration status beingresolved. “I have been here for10years.Inmycountry thereare wars and fires.
