Resident robbed three times>> Tongaat man sayshe is fed up of living infear
KAVEEL SINGH
AFTER being robbed threetimes in a space of twomonths, a Tongaat resident
says he is afraid and frustrated asrobbers are running rampant in thearea.
Seventy-eight-year old PaddyPa-dayachee was robbed for the thirdtime at his home on Catherine Cres-cent.
Speaking to the Weekly, Paday-achee, a well known Tongaat resi-dent,expressedhowhefearedforhissafety and that of his family.
“We have been on edge at ourhome recently and it is becomingworsewithno [solution] in sight. It isa difficult feeling unsafe in your ownhome.”
Padayacheewas first robbed twomonths ago when his vehicle wasbroken into.
“Theybrokethequarterglassandstole the battery from my vehicle. I
had to replace the battery and theglass which cost a lot of money.”
The second incident took placetwo weeks ago when a robberjumped through Padayachee's up-stairs balcony window.
“Therobbersmanaged toget intoourbathroombefore somethingdis-turbedthemandtheyfled.Theystolea necklace and other items from thebathroom,” he said.
Thefinalandmostrecentincidentoccurred during the early hours ofSunday morning when a robber al-legedly broke through the front gateand door of Padayachee's home us-ing a variety of what seems to be in-dustrial grade cutting tools.
“Iwaswatchingcrickethighlightsand had justwent to bed. Iwas awo-ken by my daughter and granddaughter who recently moved up-stairs. They screamed and asked ifwe were okay.
“Whenwe lookedoutsidewe sawaman running awaywith our televi-sion set.
“It is frightening to think they gotintoourhomethroughthefrontdoor.My home is 53 years old and has itscreeks. I was surprised that I heardnothing.
“These were professionals. Youcan see by the way they broke thelockandthedoor-veryswiftandveryquiet.”
Tongaat SAPS communicationsofficerManishaMaharaj-Mariecon-

“Wearecurrentlysteppinguppa-trols in this area to ensure there isvigilance,” she said.

“For example, in a murder or robbery inci-dent, we can actually call the finger print guysin Pretoria directly and ask for them to ensureso and so’s home is properly attended to. Howdo we have his direct line? We simply expandthis network.”
Jonessaidhewasimpressedwiththecoastalneighbourhood watch and hoped this couldtake it to a new level.
“We cannot all be isolated in our efforts. Youneed to know there are other networks likeyourself out there that you can join.”
While SA CAN does come at a cost for sub-scription, Jones distributed the details of their911 facility and his personal details.
“Even if you do not pay, wewill still help youin whatever way we can. We are passionateaboutwhatwe do andwe simplywant crime todrop.
“We want communities to know that if youtake to your streets you can definitely bringcrime down. It is time to stop complaining anddo more.”

Residents appalled by tree cuttingKAVEEL SINGH
RESIDENTS from Seatides, Tongaatandsurroundingareasareupinarmsafter the fellingof theCasuarina treesat the M4 circle entering Tongaat.
The site, at the corner of WatsonHighway and Genazzano Road, hadits historic trees cut down in just oneday – with many residents under theimpressionthat thetreesweresimplybeing trimmed.
By the end of Tuesday 24 Febru-ary, residents who were on theirway home were shocked to discoverthe entire site had all its treesremoved.
A group of residents stopped onthe side of the road in disbelief of theonce burgeoning untouched piece ofnature.
However, the developer StuartWhitaker, who is responsible for theremoval of the trees, said theywill re-place the trees as the Casuarina treeis categorised as an alien plant.
“The Casuarina is actually a cate-gory one alien species. The depart-ment served a notice to me saying Ineeded to remove them frommy plotof land at theWestbrook entrance offWatson Highway.
However, saplings were develop-ing from seeds blowing into my plot
from the corner spot near the high-way.
“Wetoldthedepartmentwewouldremove them at our own cost and to-gether with the local parks and gar-dens would plant new indigenoustrees.”
But residentswere appalled at thelackofenvironmentalcaretakenwithwildlife, mainly weaver birds beingdisplaced.
Parent birds were seen franticallyflying overhead desperately search-ing for chicks.
Commenting on the felling of thetrees on Tuesday, Ballito resident Gi-anna Scoulelis-Kloppers, also an en-vironmental activist, said she was“livid”.
“This is completely unlawful andso selfish of the people who have cutdown these trees. No care was takento remove thesebirds safelyandrelo-cate them.There are just dead chickslying everywhere. How can they dosomething like this?”
The Tongaat Facebook page wasalsofloodedwithcommentsfromres-idents who said action needed to betaken against authorities who al-lowed the natural habitat to be dis-turbed.
Residents noted that no environ-mental impact assessment (EIA)

One resident, Shamina SukdhoeSingh said on Facebook: “This is sadand disgusting - Watson Highwaystripped of its beauty.”
Another resident Jay Lovey Gov-ender wrote: “We must make surethat no buildings are going to springup there...somecrooked ‘tender-preneur’ in con-junction with thetop governmentofficials...thehonourables.”
Resident, KimGovender,said:“Thetreeseveniftheyhad to be cut down (I can’t imaginewhy) couldhavewaiteduntil thewin-termonthswhentherearenonestingbirds.
“There is NO excuse for what hashappened to the bird life!
“Theyarebeingmoweddownandwe all are standing by and letting ithappen. I amwilling to sharemy pic-tures of what it looked like yesterdayafternoon.”
Speaking to the Weekly, DA coun-cillor for beaches Geoff Pullan saidprivate developer Stuart Whitaker ofProdev Property was responsible forthe trees being removed.
“StuartWhitakerwas asked to getrid of trees on his plot at the West-brook entrance off Watson Highwayby the Department of Forestry.
“He said that the trees from thecorner of Genazzano are seeding hisland and saplings are growing back.Soheaskedifhecouldcut thosedownas well.”
When asked about the EIA impactand if there were development ear-marked Pullan said: “I am not sureabout that regulation and you willhave to speak to the department. As
far as I knowthere are no de-velopments.”
Pullan addedthat the Casuari-na tree was an“alien tree” andthat “those trees
are not good for the area”.“They poison the soil. They kill
people. When I was a young man,there was a tree at Casuarina beach.A family came to have picnic. Abranch high up came crashing downand killed a 12-year-old boy.”
Pullan said he had advisedWhita-ker to remove trees periodically andplant new ones in the process.
“As far as I know though, he hasbeen put in touch with the parks and
gardens people and will be plantingnew trees on that spot.”
Speaking to theWeekly, Whitakerconfirmed that new trees would infact be planted.
Whitaker said that hewould plantand tend to the indigenous plants fora 10 month period.
Discussing the birds, Whitakersaid anexpert had informedhim thatthe birds would only be in the areafrom September to January.
“We didn’t know there were stillbabies in the trees. Had we beenaware of this, we would have put inplace measures to ensure they werenot harmed.
“Other than thatwehave followedall procedure and protocol request-ed.”
Residentscanexpecttheareatobequite bare for the next few months.Whitaker explained that the treeswould be removed by next week, but“the stumps need to loosen for two tothree months”.
“Thereafterwewill get an excava-tor and loosen up the stumps and be-gin planting the indigenous trees,”said Whitaker.

Balram said he was then transported to
Osindisweni hospital for further medical attention.
“The driver of the vehicle informed officers that three males approached them atthe stop street at the corner of Moss andHigh Street and attempted to hijack them.She alleged that one suspect shot the maleoccupant after she refused to hand over thevehicle.Severalofficerswentinsearchofthesuspects, but no arrests were made.”
Balram said that on Wednesday 18 February, the duo arrived at their offices requesting an injury report.
“An officer questioned them about theattempted hijacking. Both the male and fe
male continuously changed their version ofevents and eventually admitted that thevictim was not shot by hijackers.
“They explained that they proceeded toRedcliffe to confront a carpenter who wasevading them after he was paid a depositof R5 000 to build cupboards for them.When they arrived at his home he pulled outa pellet gun and shot the 17yearold. Theythen fled from the property and proceededto Rusa officers for medical attention.”

Our government -the secret keepers
IF you have not been following thenews – firstly, what is wrong withyou? Secondly - in the news -
South Africa has been caught in themiddle of an international espionagescandal with the USA and Israel.
Al Jazeera released a boatload of“spycables”relating toSouthAfrica’slesser-known dealings with othercountries via general back-channelshenanigans.
Amongthefilessofar isareporton
an Israeli theft of Denel’s missile de-velopmentplans,andthesubsequentmassive cover-up.
The files also include intentionalco-operationbetween Pal-estinianleader Mah-moud AbbasandIsraeliof-ficials collud-ing to avoidAbbas’ in-dictment ofwar crimesthrough theGoldstoneReport.
Who knew? Israel and Palestinecan actually get along!
I find this entire issue so intense
and strange. Israel and Palestine, forall intensive purposes, have beensworn enemies since civilisationemerged thousands of years ago.
And, ofcourse,tothisday we knowof the atroci-ties that haveoccurred inthe middleeast betweenthese twocountries.
Thismakes mewonder
about our country and its involve-ment inall of this. SouthAfrica seemsto be henchmen of the modern dayworld of spies and governments.
We see it portrayed all the time inHollywood blockbusters. There’s al-ways a military professional who isRussian or South African and istasked with taking down the goodguys.
These cables that have been ex-posedbyAl Jazeera seem tobeaverysmall general communication.
Yes, it was a significant requestandnegotiation,butitwasdonesoca-sually.
Doyounotwonderwhothepeopleare behind the scenes who actuallyrun things? The people who electpresidents and put our “elected offi-cials” in power.
Power plays - people with powerhand it downanduse the people they
hand it down to as their puppets.If our country cansocasuallyhave
thiskindofbackdoorcommunicationamongst themselves without publicknowledge, what else has been hid-den?
This is a reality though. Through-out history the sands of time havechanged at thewill ofmajor corpora-tionsandbusinessesthatfeeltheycanuse their money and influence topush forward their preferred propa-ganda.
Just lookat theUSA,ourpartner incrime. They have massive corpora-tions backing both the democraticand republican parties all the time.
Those corporates know they willalways be in power. Paying for anelection rally is not cheap.Askour lo-cal councillors, they will tell you howmuch “work” it can be.
I’m just saying that we should notbelieveeverythingweread in theme-dia. Yes, stories that change historyareoftenarebroken –butwhataboutissues journalistsarenotable to find.These are the real threats.

PEUGEOT’S best selling vehiclewas not about to go stale any-time soon, but to give it an even
fresheredgeinitscut-throatsegment,Peugeot has treated it to a raft of im-provements for 2015.
A fresh-but-familiar look is ush-ered in by a redesigned front bumperthat houses a wider grille, new ‘two-tone’ headlights, taillights that havebeen reinvigorated with a claw-shapedLEDpattern and anew rangeof alloy wheels.
Its young-at-heart target audiencewill alsohavemorecolourandexteri-orpersonalisationoptions,highlightsbeingtheOrangePowerpaintoptionand the Menthol White exteriorstyling package as you see in thegalleryabove.Undercoverdetec-tivesarenotlistedamongthetar-getmarket for the formeroption.

On the engine front, Peugeot con-tinues to offer its normally aspiratedPureTech three-cylinder petrol en-gine in 1-litre and 1.2-litre guises,pushing 50 and 60kW respectively,and they’ve been joined by a turbo-charged, direct injection version ofthe 1.2. Mated to either a five-speedmanual or six-speed automatic gear-box, the new 1.2 turbo motor devel-ops 82kWand it can be pairedwith anew‘GTLine’ trim,whichaddsanex-tradashofstreetcredwithitsGTI-likeinteriorandexteriordesignenhance-ments.
The 1.6-litre turbochargedGTI al-so soldiers on, albeit with some newdesign features, while the aforemen-tioned GT Line is also available withupper versions of Peugeot’s 1.6-litreHDi engine.

HAVING a beer or a glass of wine before a meal ordrinking cough syrup before hitting the road could seeyou fined or tossed in jail as the Department of Transport has proposed a zero bloodalcohol limit.
A proposal to cut to zero the current maximum alcohol level of 0.05g/100 ml of blood was publishedearlier in January in the Government Gazette. The legal alcohol level was dropped from 0.08g/100ml in1996.
Those who wish to comment on the new bill anddrinkdriving restrictions, have until February 27 to respond as the draft bill has yet to go through the parliamentary process.
The original National Road Traffic act reads: “Noperson shall on a public road (a) drive a vehicle; or(b) occupy the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle the engine of which is running, while the concentration ofalcohol in any specimen of blood taken from any partof his or her body is not less than 0.05g/100ml, orin the case of a professional driver referred to in section 32, not less than 0.02g/100ml.”
Theamended bill reads:“Nopersonshall onapublic road (a) drive a vehicle or (b) occupy the driver’sseat of a motor vehicle the engine of which is running,while there is concentration of alcohol in any specimen of blood taken from any part of his or her body.”
Accordingtothedraftbill,thenthesectiongoverning the bloodalcohol amount/limit has been omitted, meaning if you’re found driving with any concen

tration of alcohol inyour blood, you can becharged.
The bill was firstproposed in 2011 bythen minister of transport, S’bu Ndebele whohad been in meetingswith the AutomobileAssociation for twoyears before it was proposed to parliament.
AA spokespersonMariusLuytsaidalcoholplayed a major role inSA road deaths. He saida zero alcohol levelwouldnotbetoodrasticas current levels are currently very low, reportsBeeld.
The chairman ofJustice Project SA,Howard Dembovsky,said: “The advantage isit sends a clear messageagainst drunk drivingbut the disadvantage isthat people will becriminalised over anytype of alcohol.”
