The source since 1870 Fight plastic war for real What a time for someone to do something practical about the scourge of plastic. According to a story in these pages (SPAR’s war on plastic), the group’s Eastern Cape operation invested in 300 000 wax-lined, waterproof and reusable paper bags with a 12kg capacity. Over two days early this month, they exchanged 10 plastic bags for a free one of those environmentally friendly alterna- tive. “We believe that safeguarding our environment and the fu- ture are often spoken about but not much is done,” said SPAR EC managing director Conrad Isaac, “As the biggest food re- tailer in the Eastern Cape, I believe we have to take care of the health and well-being of the communities in which we operate.” Bravo SPAR. We wish all stores would invest in such an initiative. However, mostly, our wish would be for the gov- ernment to slap such a high tax on a plastic bag that if you for example bought a loaf of bread for R8, and a pint of milk for R20, the tax on the bag would make it R50! If a plastic bag costs 45 cents, it’s easy to see why we always “forget” to re-use the hundreds we have at home, or to buy the slightly more expensive recycled fabric bags (at around R12 each), but which can last a year-plus with good care. Changing be- haviour of this kind will not come out of the good will of customers. They should choose to spend R50 for a bag, with 45 cents going to the store, and the remaining R49.05 going to the Treasury as tax.

Sometimes when it rains Sometimes when it rains I think of times rains for days without break when I’d run into the rain I think of mothers shouting ‘Nkce - nkce mlanjana who give birth in squatter camps when will I grow? under plastic shelters I’ll grow up tomorrow!’ at the mercy of cold angry winds

Sometimes when it rains Sometimes when it rains I think of times I think of ‘illegal’ job seekers when I watched goats in big cities running so fast from the rain dodging police vans in the rain while sheep seemed to enjoy it hoping for darkness to come so they can find some wet corner to hide in Sometimes when it rains I think of times Sometimes when it rains when we had to undress rains so hard hail joins in carry the small bundles of uniforms and books I think of life prisoners on our heads in all the jails of the world and cross the river after school. and wonder if they still love to see the rainbow at the end of the rain Sometimes when it rains I remember times Sometimes when it rains when it would rain hard for hours with hail stones biting the grass and fill our drum I can’t help thinking they look like teeth so we didn’t have to fetch water many teeth of smiling friends from the river for a day or two then I wish that everyone else Sometimes when it rains had something to smile about rains for many hours without break – By Gcina Mhlophe 12 ARTSLIFE Grocott’s Mail 13 APRIL 2018 Song for Nomzamo (for the freedom fighter Nomzamo Winnie Madikizela- Mandela)

Not so long ago, I saw them getting closer Slowly encircling you with their magic dance Joyously dancing and sneaking around the house.

Hear them calling in spirits I can tell from their resonant voices The family poets are the most prominent.

Ancestors sweep the ground clean Nomzamo is home She has entered the gates of the elders.

Sing epic songs beloved matriarchs Hear our child calling Swiftly enter the dance arena beloved patriarchs.

Their festival of laughter is alluring Laughter even graces their feasting Come along and enjoy the festival.
