THE Sea Point Holiday Hotel has been listedas a “problem building” following a numberof complaints from the community.

Cracked walls, rodent infestation, hygieneissues, damaged bricks, vagrants loiteringaround the property and the general state ofthe building are giving residents sleeplessnights.

The property, on the corner of Main andOliver roads in Sea Point, has also been nu-merously raided after tip-offs about drugsand prostitution.

Anel Badenhorst has only recently movedinto the area and questions why the state ofthe property has never been tackled.

“It really is shocking because around theapartment block you see these beautiful res-taurant and stores opening up. Then you getthis building, which is starting to look likea slum,” Badenhorst says.

She recently jogged around the propertyand claims to have picked up on a “foulsmell” emanating from one of the entrancesto the building.

Badenhorst then found out from anotherresident that the property had previouslyhad a rat infestation problem. “This cannotbe healthy at all. The owners can say we arebeing really petty, but I urge them to spenda day in the shoes of the residents immedi-ately surrounding this property,” she says.

Oliver Court resident Robert Kirsner

finds no joy in the view from his balcony,as all he looks at is a “worn down buildingwith huge problems around it”.

Kirsner has been living in Sea Point forthe past 13 years and claims that the ownerrefuses to tackle the problems around thebuilding properly.

“They have made a few subtle changesover the years, but the main issues are notbeing dealt with. It really gives off a bad im-pression in this area,” he says.

He explains that it is a battle to improvetheir own homes because of Sea Point Holi-day Hotel.

“This is the only property that refuses toimprove. This building is just unsightly anda real eyesore in this community,” Kirsnersays. “Enough is enough and this ownermust be taken to task for his actions.”

Ward councillor Beverley Schafer con-firms receiving complaints about the apart-ment block and started a process involvingthe City of Cape Town’s Problem BuildingsUnit, Environmental Health departmentand various other departments. “This prop-erty is really bad and we must address thisissue before it becomes worse,” she says.

Schafer requested that the various depart-ments demand that the owners immediatelyclean-up the property, labelling the apart-ment block as being in “quite a shockingstate”.

Sea Point Community Police Forum chair-person, Heather Tager, confirms that theytoo have received numerous complaintsabout the building.

“We have to act on the complaints re-ceived from the public and council mustwork faster to attend to these complaints,”she says.

Tager explains that police have also hadsuccessful arrests in the past in connectionwith drug-related activities inside the build-ing. “This building has been registered asa problem building and we will closely moni-tor the activities at these flats,” Tager says.People’s Post contacted the hotel for com-

ment, but the owner is currently out of thecountry.

The rightstuff

ON THURSDAY South Africans cele-brate Human Right’s Day. Is it just an-other day off work or do Capetonians

give special attention to their hard-foughthuman rights? People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini polledreaders.

WENTWENTZEL DZEL DANIEL:ANIEL: He feels the right to educationis very important, especially for the new genera­tion. “In my days we didn’t have the opportunitiesthe children today have and I don’t want my chil­dren to struggle the way I did.”

ODENDODENDAALAAL GERBER:GERBER: He is most passionate aboutthe right to access to water. “People should usewater sparingly. There are so many people whodon’t have access to drinking water. Yet you getothers who can afford it and then waste it.”

TTOBIE SOBIE STEENKTEENKAMP:AMP: The right to life is the mostimportant right, he says. “I feel if you take awaysomeone’s right to live, your life should be takenaway. In our country that right is absolute, noteven the State can take away your right to life.”

LEE­ANNLEE­ANN PEDRPEDRO:O: She says freedom of speechshould be supreme and feels it is what our countryneeds to move forward. “It is important and willhelp our country if people could express what theywant, when they want and how they want.”

TERRI­LEETERRI­LEE JENSJENSSEN:SEN: She believes it is importantfor people to express themselves. “Freedom ofspeech is the most important human right be­cause people should be able to say what is ontheir minds.”

CHARLESCHARLES MERRINGTMERRINGTON:ON: “The right to freedom ofmovement is important. This is not (like in) theold days when you needed permission to entercertain places. We don’t want to go back to thosedays, so that right shouldn’t be taken away.”

LALAWRENCE LWRENCE LUBBE:UBBE: “I think the right to educationis the most important because when a person iseducated, they have a chance to land a decentjob. Should that right be taken away a lot of peo­ple would be hopeless – education is everything.”

CAPE TOWN city centre has started 2013with a clean slate after being recognised asthe cleanest Central BusinessDistrict (CBD)in the country.

In terms cleanliness, a staggering 88.3% ofpeople who use the CBD and were polled inthe Cape Town Central Improvement Dis-trict (CCID) User survey gave Cape Town’sCBD the thumbs up.Looking tobuild on their ratings,CCIDan-

nounced four new urban managementprojects, all of which has already been rolledout in the CBD.The projects are state-of-the-art street

sweeper machines, eco-friendly cigarettebins, job creation and decorative and properstreet lighting in the CBD.Loop Street take-aways owner, Basil Phil-

lips, has traded in countries such as India,Pakistan, Turkey andmore recently Indone-sia, but is most impressed with Cape Town.“I have been here for nearly three years

now and I never once had issues around dirtaround my shop or people dumping thingsoutside. Everything is always clean andthere are constantly people working on thestreets at cleaning the area,” he says.“I have been around, but Cape Town cer-

tainly cannot be compared to some of thecountries I have been to.“This place is a world apart and I’m not

speaking about the distance,” Phillipslaughs.The new CCID sweeper machines have a

circular sweeping capacity which allowsfaster and more efficient cleaning of CapeTown’s streets.The user-friendly sweeper machines will

be used in areas like St George’s Mall, theCompany Gardens, Thibault Square, theFanwalk and Lower Long and Jetty streetsdaily between 11:00 and 15:00.New cigarette bins designed to extinguish

and lock in smoke fumes are also being im-plemented across the CBD.The“stronger and tamper-proof” cigarette

bins will be emptied weekly.

Currently, there are 300 bins installedacross the CBD.“To go the extra mile in keeping the CBD

clean,wehave introduced the “MyAshBox”pouches, which will encourage smokers tostash away their butts conveniently, insteadof littering,” says Chief Operations Officerfor the CCID, Tasso Evangelinos.The survey also revealed that users would

feel a lot safer if the CBD had proper and ef-fective lighting.This has led to the introduction of a tree-

lighting project in Greenmarket Square.The square isnow lit up from18:00until 01:00throughout the year. Plans are now in placeto roll out a similar project in other parts ofthe city centre.

“We never underestimate the importantrole that well-maintained public spacesplays in attracting and retaining investmentin the CBD,” Evangelinos says.“We encourage everyonewho lives, works

or visits the central city to takepride in theirenvironment and to play their role in main-taining a world-class and beautiful CBD.”Ward councillor Dave Bryant applauds

theCCID’s efforts andbelieves their success-es can be improved.“The cleanliness of the CBD is something

we are very proud of. If you saw the area 10years ago, it looked very different,” he says.Bryant encourages communities tomimic

the CCID’s enthusiasm.TheCCID’s success has alreadyhad aposi-

tive impact on the community in HopeStreet, Gardens.Hope Street is renowned for dirt and

crime.Bryant says that by the end of the year, a

Hope Street CID could also be formed.“The success of the CCID has definitely

spurred on the rest of the community tobring similar initiatives to their areas,” he

adds.“It’s very exciting and the CCID are doing

fantastic work.”

A DERELICT plot has spurred on some Bo-Kaap residents to take charge of the landplagued with dumping.

The property, found in between Wale andDorp streets, has become an illegal dumpingground, with a mini informal settlement be-lieved to be involved with alleged drug-relat-ed activities.

Residents started noticing dump piles ris-ing as more soiled nappies, constructionrubble, old food, domestic household wasteand worn-out clothing is discarded on theland.

Bo-Kaap resident Shihaam Toeffy is at herwits’ end and claims that the stench emanat-ing from the plot reaches as far as WaleStreet at times.

A few years ago, Toeffy noticed smallamounts of waste being illegally dumped onthe land and already started fearing that thearea could soon be turned into a “communaldump site”.

“The land is easily accessible to the pub-lic; there is nobody really monitoring the ac-tivities at the land and now the situation hasgrown to an unbearable state,” she says.

She says her cries for help to the City ofCape Town were unanswered on more thanone occasion.

Toeffy insists that this problem will con-tinue if the City doesn’t step in and properlyuse their erf.

“The problems will just keep coming backif nothing happens on this empty space. It’sno use council keeps cleaning the land, be-cause people will just perceive that as morespace to dump,” Toeffy explains.

Bo-Kaap Civic Association chairperson,Osman Shaboodien, is well aware of the con-cerns around this empty plot, but confirmsthat a process is in the pipeline to put thevacant land in the name of a “communitytrust”.

He explains that the City, which owns the

land, will be approached by the association.The association is proposing to lease theland as a possible trading space or as a park-ing lot. “We are well aware that council hasbeen tackling this issue by cleaning up theland, but this is not enough. The land mustbe occupied by something positive for thebenefit of this community,” he says.

The land also contains four shacks andresidents allege that drug dealing is takingplace at this settlement.

“The community must take charge of thisland because it is accumulating a largeamount of dirt,” Shaboodien says.

Shaboodien expects the application proc-ess for the land to be completed within thenext six months.

He adds that a plan has been drawn up andthe association plans to submit the proposal

once it has been finalised.Mayoral Committee member for Health,

Lungiswa James, confirms that the City re-ceived complaints about the property in Au-gust last year.

City Health then inspected the land and“block baiting” for rodents was carried outby the Western Sub-District’s Environmen-tal Health services.

They also discovered that refuse binswere needed for the people currently squat-ting on the land, but the squatters are re-quired to apply for this with the City.

James also confirms that efforts havebeen made to clean up the plot.

“City Health will re-assess the situationand provide necessary health education andpropose remedial actions to residents,”James adds.

TIME FOR CHANGE: Chairperson for the Bo­Kaap Civic Association, Osman Shaboodien, hopes thatthe issues around this plot will be addressed within the next six months. PHOTO: TAURIQ HASSEN

A COURT application to “effectively bringtheMyCiTi bus service to a standstill” is be-ing heard in the Western Cape High Court.Golden Arrow Bus Services brought the

application before the High Court againstthe City of Cape Town, the provincial minis-ters of transport and social development, aswell as Transpeninsula Investments andKidrogen.In the matter, which is being presided by

judge Bennie Griesel, Golden Arrow is ap-plying for an interdict to stop the City from

issuing more contracts for MyCiTi opera-tors until a mediation and arbitration proc-ess is pursued.The matter relates to a case about an

agreement dating to about four years ago.Golden Arrow says the City is not negoti-

ating in good faith and is stringing GoldenArrow along.The bus service says the City is also not

recognising a previous agreement whichhad been made between the two parties.TheCity, however, counters in court docu-

ments that the conditions do not requireme-diation and arbitration.

Itwill derail theCity’s legitimate attemptsto manage a public transport system interms of the Constitution and the NationalTransport Act. Should the matter be re-ferred to mediation and arbitration, it willseriously hamstring the City’s attempt to es-

tablish a reintegrated public transport net-work. The City denies it has acted unreason-ably or that it has failed to act in good faith.The City further says Golden Arrow did notestablish that an interdict be granted andthat the matter be dismissed.

WITHASUMof 132 years of devotion tohelp-ing others, three Groote Schuur Hospitalnurses are showing no signs of throwing inthe towel.For Maureen Ross, Martha Petersen and

Mareldia Patton, 1969 was a year of great be-ginnings – each dedicated 44 years caring forpatients at the hospital, forming a strongbond packedwith fondmemories and laugh-ter.The women all secured their degrees in

GeneralNursing,Midwifery andPsychiatryand started as the first nurses at the oldNicoMalan Hospital, now known as the GrooteSchuur Hospital.Deputy manager of nursing for the Trau-

ma and Emergency wards, Theatre and In-tensive Care Unit, Mareldia Patton beganher career in April 1969 when she first ap-plied at the hospital, accompanying her un-cle while wearing high heels to secure aplace.She explains that during this time, height

was a major factor when applying to be anurse – which paid off.“Luck was on my side that day, because

I just made the mark and got a booking atthe hospital – and I’m still here today,” Pat-ton says.She is also a ballroom dancer in her spare

time.Nearing retirement, she describes her ca-

reer as a nurse as being “one joyful, fun andexciting ride”.“This is really my passion and I love what

I do. If my health allows me, I would wantto go on for manymore years caring for peo-ple, because I have a special love for it,” shesays.Her most memorable moment over the 44

years came when a patient – former RobbenIsland inmate Robert Sobukwe – called herto his room and said: “You are a fantasticperson and an even better nurse”.“That certainlymeant a lot tome, because

it makes me feel that what I’m doing is notgoing unrecognised,” she says.Deputy manager of nursing for the Medi-

cal, Psychiatric and Oncology wards, Mar-thaPetersen, started in January 1969, and al-so faced similarworrieswhen shewas askedto do the height test during her application.However, Petersen cleared the height fac-

tor and quicklymoved on to run the first pri-vate ward at the hospital and eventuallylanded up seeing to the needs of nurses.“We have had lots of learning experiences

over the years and during this time we alsohad lots of fun. These are memories I willnever forget and that is also what kept megoing for all these years,” the former balleri-

na says.Petersen first started with Midwifery

courses at Conradie Hospital, before takinga keen interest in the Groote Schuur Hospi-tal.She completed her studies in General

Nursing, Clinical Instruction, CommunityHealth, Nursing Sciences as well as a coursein leadership.Petersen does notwant to think about end-

ing the job thathas created somanyvaluablememories, but says “the time has to comesome day”.“My passion for caring has driven me

through these 44 years and as a nurse, I lovewhat I do. If God allowed me the health andstrength, I would go on to do this for another50 years,” she laughs.The senior manager and head of nursing

MaureenRoss started inMarch 1969, comingfrom a family of teachers and matriculatingfrom Alexander Sinton High School.Ross took a keen interest in nursing after

spending most of her teenage years caringfor her sickly mother.“I always watched these nurses with this

fascinated look on my face and I immediate-ly knew this is what I want to do,” she says.She started her journey by applying to

three different hospitals – Somerset, Con-radie and Groote Schuur – but favouredGroote Schuur after being accepted by allthree hospitals at the time.She described her first days as a nurse as

a “real eye-opener”, landing herself in trou-ble a few times for waltzing through the pro-hibited white wards at the time.“I wanted to see what all the fuss was

about and these are some the experiences Ilearnt from. It did not botherme that Iwouldget into trouble, but it added some value tomy experience,” Ross says.She stuck around for 44 years because of

themany opportunities to improve her qual-ifications – a chance she joyfully grabbed.She described the services at the hospital

as a “multi-disciplinary team effort”, whichensures quality and the highest standards ofhealth care.“If the floors are dirty, patients can be in-

fected. If porters are not around, people withdisabilities will not be able to walk throughthe hospital. The list goes on,” she says.Provincial minister of Health, Theuns

Botha, regards the ladies as a “shining ex-ample of dedicated staff in the department”.“Our successes and value added is evident

when we see staff that have given continu-ous service to the department,” he says.“Their contributions to their respective

teams and the many lives they have im-proved are the epitome of our slogan: ‘bettertogether’.”

CONFUSION about where State pensionerscan collect their monthly payout has sur-faced.This comes after the South African Social

Security Agency (Sassa) adopted and intro-duced the biometric-based system for all so-cial grants in February.The system aims to ensure that the right

grant is paid to the right individual at theright time and place.Its immediate plan is to eradicate fraud

and corruption.It will also allow beneficiaries to use their

Sassa branded card anywhere in the coun-try.But People’s Post received a number of

frantic calls from readers, who claim thenew system was “time consuming” and“dangerous”.One such reader, Beatrice de Wett (78),

tells of her experience at a local supermar-ket. “I was not there to draw my monthlypension; I will only have to do so in April.But I was horrified and shocked when I sawwhat was happening,” she says.“When I arrived at the supermarket, the

placewas very crowded. I thought the peoplewere rioting, but soon realised they werethere to draw their pensions.”Shedescribes the atmosphere as “absolute

chaos”, as pensioners queued in long linesinside and outside the store.“They all had to stand; there was no place

for them to sit. Some of the people werestanding with walking sticks, visibly un-comfortable,” De Wett says.“I also found out that they had been stand-

ing there for a very long time – some of them

had been there for up to four hours. Andthere are no ablution facilities for them touse.”De Wett claims she was informed that

the “chaos”was the same thepreviousday,with three of the pensioners having beentransported to hospital for medical treat-ment after they had fainted while waitingin line. “The staff at the supermarket alsotold the people that they had to return thenext day, because there was no more mon-ey,” she says.“I cannot understand why Sassa

changed the process of drawing your pen-sion. Why must we go to a supermarket?It is heartbreaking and sad to see the pen-sioners suffer this way.”However, regional Sassa spokesperson

Shivani Wahab says supermarkets Pick nPay and Shoprite are not the only placespensioners candraw theirmonthly grants.“The beneficiary has the option of ac-

cessing their social grant at a Sassa paypoint, vendor or bank of their choice.Withapproved vendors, Shoprite and Pick nPay, there is no fee applicable for a benefi-ciary to access their social grant,” Wahabsays.“However, should a beneficiary opt to

access their social grant at a bank, the reg-ular bank charges will be applicable.”The new system requires all beneficiar-

ies to re-register, not re-apply, for their so-cial grants.The registration process commenced in

November. “The re-registration processentails about 15million social grant recipi-ents enrolling onto the system using bio-metric tools such as electronic fingerprint-ing to verify their identities,”Wahab says.

“Beneficiaries will then be issued with asmartcard that will allow the flexibility of ac-cessing social grants anywhere in the coun-try.”The re-registration process is expected to

be complete by the end of the month.Sassawill update all the details and capture

an electronic scan of fingerprints of the bene-ficiary at the last payout at the “old pay

point”. Beneficiaries need to take alongtheir identity document, Sassa brandedmaster card, contact details and the nameand contact details of next of kin.To verify the status of your re-registra-

tion, visit any registration site or local Sas-sa office.V For more information phone (021) 469 0206 or0800 601 011.

AN INITIATIVE to help curb underagedrinking has reached close to half a millionteenagers.The programme, called You Decide, is a

joint initiative between the Department ofTrade and Industry, the National Youth De-velopmentAgencyandSouthAfricanBrew-eries (SAB).The initiative, which interactively edu-

cates about the dangers of underage drink-ing, has reached 384 260 teenagers in 652schools, as well as 77 309 youth and parentsat taxi ranks in its first year.YouDecide has also run scores of commu-

nity and teacher workshops, ensuring addi-tional support for teenagers.The department, agency and SAB, togeth-

er with various provincial education de-partments, have committed to continue thefight against underage drinking throughthe You Decide programme.BongumusaMakhathini, the SABhead of

PublicPolicy andStrategy Integration, saysthe company is concerned that underagedrinking, one of the most serious forms ofalcohol abuse in our country, has risen tohigh levels and is having an overwhelming-ly negative impact on South African socie-ty.“It was imperative to partner with gov-

ernment and the agency to implement a pro-gramme that we believe will effect realchange among South Africa’s youth.“We are heartened that the You Decide

programme seems to have started doingso,” he says.“We are committed to playing our role as

a responsible corporate citizen, as well asthe largest liquormanufacturer in the coun-try, to ensure we minimise alcohol abuseharm. The consumption of liquor by teenag-ers is not good for anybody. Quite the con-trary, it threatens the future growth and de-velopment of our communities and ourcountry.”Thezi Mabuza, the department’s chief di-

rector of the National Liquor Authority,says there’s a requirement for everyone insociety to play their role for the programmeto reach its true potential.“Liquor cannot be sold to teenagers, even

if they claim to have been sent by their ‘un-cle’ or ‘aunt’. Continuing to sell to clearlyinebriated customers may seem like a fi-nancial win in the short term, but the nega-tive consequences of a customer walking ordriving home drunk can literally make thedifference between life and death,” saysMabuza. “We all need to set better examplesfor our children if we expect better behav-iour from them, as theywill continue to em-ulate our conduct – good or bad.”Agency CEO Steven Ngubeni says they

remain committed to YouDecide as the con-sequences of underage drinking are ex-tremely dire.

“It’s important to continue to discourageteenagers fromdrinkingandabusing liquorat an early age as this puts their lives atrisk, including engaging in unprotectedsexual activities and in the process expos-ing themselves to the possibilities of con-tracting sexually transmitted diseases suchasHIV/Aids and engaging in crime and vio-lence,” Ngubeni says.The You Decide campaign was largely

guided by local and international research,and the result is a groundbreaking pro-gramme that is amulti-faceted interventiongrounded in the latest thinking on the clini-cal and psychological facets of this complexproblem.The programme was formulated to target

teachers, parents, communities and peers –the four key stakeholders who influence ateenager.According to Jason Levin, MD of imple-

menting agency HDI Youth Marketeers,there’s never been a more compelling caseto tackle underage drinking, with the SouthAfrican National Youth Risk BehaviourSurvey undertaken four years ago showingthat 49.6%of teens (grades 8-12 or ages 13-18)admitted to using alcohol.The numbers, he says, only tell half the

story, with the downside involving teensfighting, stealing,missing school, giving upon sport, raping and being jailed.“Recent research by Unisa’s Youth Re-

search Unit focused on the extent and im-pact of substance abuse among 4 346 Gau-teng high school pupils. It indicated that87.5% of Gauteng teens drink or havefriends who consume alcohol – which ismuch higher than the national average. Italso shows that two thirds of pupils polledagreed that underage alcohol consumptionis becomingmore socially acceptable,” saysLevin.The partners behind the You Decide pro-

gramme are, however, encouraged that theprogramme is making notable difference.A study by third party research provider

E-View to establish whether or not careful-ly structured educational programmessuch as You Decide can effectively reducethe incidence of underage drinking has in-dicated a 3% absolute and an 8.3% relativedrop in teens’ alcohol consumption in com-munities exposed to the programme.The study, however, also found that par-

ents are more in denial than ever abouttheir children’s exposure to alcohol.As a result of the positive outcome of the

first year of the project, it has been agreedto continue with the initiative and extendit to other provinces.Engagements are continuing with sever-

al other provincial governments to ensurethe You Decide underage drinking pro-gramme is rolled out to schools that requirethe necessary intervention.

THE Greater Cape Town Civic Alliance(GCTCA) has raised concerns about the Cityof Cape Town’s new zoning scheme.The organisation, which is the umbrella

body for civic associations across the CapePeninsula, raised these concerns in a pressrelease, issued jointly with the Far South Pe-ninsula Civic Forum.The Integrated Zone Scheme for Cape

Town was launched on Friday 1 March, re-placing the 27 former “outdated” zoningschemes with a single zoning plan.The process for the promulgation of the

scheme was divided into five phases, from2002 until November last year. It was adoptedat a full council meeting in December.“The new scheme, however, does provide

for mechanisms, such as the Overlay Zone,to effectively respond to the protection andconservation of unique and specific areaswithin the City,” says Cheryl Walters, theCity’s director for Planning and Building De-velopment Management.“The purpose of the scheme has not

changed and still provides for the determina-tion of use rights and to provide for controlsover such use rights. This is a Constitutionalobligation of local government, as part ofmu-nicipal planning.“This project also resulted in the repeal of

some of the last remains of apartheid plan-ning, such as those zoning schemes promul-gated in terms of the formerBlackCommuni-ties Development Act.”Walters describes the scheme as “modern-

ised”, as it provides for new land use activi-ties such as cellular infrastructure and greentechnologies.“It is also, in general, more permissive, en-

courages mixed uses where appropriate and

equal opportunities.”The plan was subject to various meetings

and public participation processes duringthe planning stages.“Various media releases, placement of no-

tices, advertisements in the communitypress and information sessions happened inthis period to inform, warn and prepare in-dustry stakeholders and the public of the im-plementation date of the scheme,” she says.However, the concerned organisation

flagged various aspects of the scheme, in-cluding the possibility of a “radical changein the character of the city and underminingits sustainability” in the press release.It reads: “No minimum erf size has been

set. This paves the way for cramped urbani-sation, not justwise densification. It could al-so herald a field day for developers focusedon maximising rental income and specula-tive subdivision.”It also highlighted the removal of service

industrial zoning, which has now been re-placed by light industrial zoning, mixed-usezones where there are few restrictions on arange of activities and amenity zoning beingreplaced with community zoning.The City also only has to advertise depar-

tures if, in the opinion of City Manager Ach-mat Ebrahim, it will adversely affect anyone,while cellphone masts are allowed any-where.However, City officialsmetwith represent-

atives of the two organisations on Thursday7 March.

“It was a very constructivemeetingwherea number of concerns where clarified, mis-conceptions addressed and future engage-ments discussed,” Walters says.

HUMAN Rights Day. That’s a tough one.The problemwith human rights is that every-

body has them.And though itmight grate your last nerve that

those who do not so eloquently fit in to our ver-sion of reality have them, too, it’s something wehave to accept.Convicted criminals are our favourite target.

We delight in indulging the fantasy of denyingthem rights.One could argue it is our right to fantasise

about this.But therein lies the rub.The fact that they have been convicted of hei-

nous crimesdoesnot equal them losing theirhu-manity.In fact, it’s because of their humanity that

they’re in such a life-altering situation.Being human does not equal being wishy-

washy.Beinghumanmeansbeing fraughtwith flaws.And that’s the primary pulse behind the bas-

tion of rights we so cherish.It is to protect ourselves from ourselves.Think about it. It does make sense.It is to prevent “enlightened Man” from hav-

ing an almighty collective relapse to the MiddleAges.Sadly, there are many who ignore our right

to dignity, safety... the list is long.The world is truly in a sad state of affairs.Wars, famine, corruption, civic brutality in

Africa and other poor nations – that list is end-less. But never has there been a time more ur-gent than now – human rights must stop beingviewed as a luxury and be part of our daily vo-cabulary.It must be part of our daily patterns. To think

of human rights – for all and not just the moralelite! – needs to be habitual.Human rights... tough one.

Dog on dutyI WAS patrolling the neighbourhood on mybicycle when two small dogs ran towardsme, barking and snapping at my feet.Their barking set off a chorus of barking

from other canines in the area.The barking was so loud that everyone in

their homesknewa strangerwas in the area.These dogs remindedme ofmy days in the

police force when I was tasked to do crimeprevention with a team of colleagues in cer-tain neighbourhoods.At the time I asked my colleagues, when

comparing the neighbourhoods to others,what was missing from those neighbour-hoods.They gave me different answers and sug-

gestions, but no one said they had not seenor heard a dog.Dogs alert their owners the instant a

stranger attempts to enter a home. Alongwith an alarm system, a dog is one of the bestways to protect your family and property.In today’s crime climate, and apart from

all other security measures and volunteercrime fighters, a serious security-mindedhomeowner has to have a dog,No criminal wants to face a nagging dog

which exposes their presence and envisag-ing miniature bayonets piercing their flesh.Those who decide to take up my proposal,remember the legalities of the signagebroadcasting that you have man’s bestfriend on your property.Gerald Durrell said: “A house is not a

Women suffer long after abortionI REFER to the letter “Abortion affects fami-ly unit” (People’s Post, 12 March).We are living in a time where (making)

personal choices is the order of the day. Ilong for the days when right was right andwrong was wrong, but today freedom ofchoice rules our homes and relationships.Even children have so many rights, whichI fully support, but where can we as parentsdraw the line?The law sometimes does away with our

moral standards. These things we call re-morse, guilt, sadness and respect for life sep-arate us from animals.I don’t see animals go for abortions andyet

they are deemed to be way below the stand-ard of a human being. Let us stand togetherand rid our society of this evil called abor-tion. When people having casual unprotect-ed sex – risking contracting HIV/Aids – findout they are pregnant, they simply go for anabortion as it is their personal choice.As a healthworker, I see abortion patients

regularly and I want to give Anonymous alittle peek through the abortion window.(Up to) 40 (termination of pregnancy) pro-

cedures are done twice a week at the healthfacilitywhere Iwork.OnMondaysandTues-days the abortion bookings are done and thepatients are prepped. Wednesdays andThursdays the procedures are performedand they go home the same day.Some of them are high school pupils wear-

ing their school uniforms and backpacks.These goods are locked in safe storage untilthey are discharged later in the day.Theprocedure is doneby trained surgeons

and the methodology is by means of a vacu-um suction machine. The tubing of this ma-chine is transparent and, if you have not yetseen a partial fetus being slurped out of awoman and end up in a metal canister witha loud thud, then don’t wish to see it at all.No matter your beliefs or religion, you

never get used to seeing the cruelty of it andthe emotions that go along with it. Often pa-tients have jumped up from the table – lastminute jitters that developed a conscious forthem – saying they do notwish to go throughwith it. I think the instruments alone shouldscare you enough to have you flee the room.Most go through with it as they read in

People’s Post it is nothing more than a per-sonal choice. I think not. I think it is safe tosay these abortions have created a large

number of withdrawn and depressed wom-en,who often return to the facilitywithmen-tal issues. Apart from thosewho commit sui-cide, others who are unable to cope withtheir informed decision suffer from post-traumatic stress.Anonymous, in spite of what you have

said, this is a sign that there is a God some-where, and no amount of counselling canprepare you for an abortion.Let’s take a step back. A woman does a

pregnancy test and it shows positive. Themoment that information hits the brain,bonding starts almost instantaneously.I would not expect aminor child or awom-

anwhowas raped to have these bondingmo-ments. One would expect trauma, blame, re-jection and suicidal tendencies instead.And this is the fine line placed by nature

to ensure that – whether a woman got preg-nant unexpectedly or willingly – the guiltwill remain there. A survey has revealedthat nine in every 10women,when given thechance in privacywith a counsellor or a psy-chologist, talk about the abortion they hadhad, no matter how long ago.In many a counselling session, women

still make reference to the aborted fetus andsay something along the lines of: “Except formy baby that died, I still have a boy and agirl now.”No matter how confusing Anonymous

wants to make it sound, everything is notscience.Science has yet to resurrect the dead or ex-

plain who is the infinite and almighty beingthat created the universe.I hope women read this and think about

whether abortion should only be allowed ifand when a minor is sexually abused or avictimof rape. If you start practising safe sexyou won’t have to worry about an unexpect-ed pregnancy, but please post your commenthere in theunforeseen event that youare im-pregnated by a rapist who has let you liveto tell your tale.Then it becomes our business to perform

a procedure on you.We will then be waiting for you at our fa-

Princess Pro Series still wide openPETE LE GRANGE

THE 2013 Princess Pro Series hockeyis heading towards a thrilling climaxafter some closely fought matches atHartleyvale on Sunday.

After the second round of matchesin the annual tournament any of thefour teams could qualify for the finalin both the mens’ and womens’ sec-tions.

In the early match for the ladies,the Maidens and the Eurolux Fire-flies played to a 1-1 stalemate. Cap-tain and Beijing Olympian CindyBrown gave the Fireflies the leadfrom a penalty corner at half-time,but Protea Farah Fredericks slicedthrough the defence to equalise with18 minutes remaining.

However, the Maidens still cameout on top after winning the PrincessShowdowns – similar to a penalty

shoot-out. Jess Pollock was namedPlayer of the Match for the Maidens,while Suleka Brand won the pinksocks award as Player of the Matchfor the Fireflies.

In the late match, a goal by Daleen-Marie Steyn shortly before half-timewas all that separated the Jewel Afri-ca All Stars from Team Strikers.

Although play flowed from end toend, the All Stars defence did well toclose down the talented CandiceManuel and the Strikers were alsoguilty of poor decision-making.

New Protea Quanita Bobbs wonthe Player of the Match award for theJewel Africa All Stars, while KatieWinter took the honours for theStrikers.

There were past and present Pro-teas on show in the men’s ranks aswell, as well as plenty of goals.

Lungile Tsolekile, Beijing Olympi-

an, scored twice with clever shotsover the goalkeeper as the PrintingPress Pharaohs ran out 4-2 winnersover the Enriching Life Eagles.

Ben Wiley and Brad Venter alsogot their names onto the score sheetfor the Pharaohs, who were on theirway to their second win. The Eaglesmounted a late comeback, with goalsfrom Anthony Rimbault and Jaco Ol-ivier in reply.

Keenan Topley was named playerof the match for the Pharaohs, whileAB Abrahams took the award for theEagles.

The late match on the A field wasa goal fest, as the Synsport Snipersbounced back from a first round de-feat to thrash the Strata Civils Ser-pents 8-2.V This weekend’s matches will be played atHartleyvale on Friday at 19:00 and 20:30. Theplayoffs will be played from 14:30.

Walmers take positives from ComCupLIAM MOSES

SK WALMERS have shifted focus from theCell C Community Cup to the Super LeagueA after crashing out of the national tourna-ment on Saturday.Walmers narrowly lost 32-37 to Eastern

Cape champions Gap Despatch in their finalpool match in Green Point. A victory wouldhave seen them advance to the next roundof the tournament.The home side lead 8-6 at half time, but a

second-half collapse saw them concede fivetries, three of which were converted.Sedick Sieed, the side’s forward coach,

says the result could have been different ifnot for the side’s inability to convert territo-ry and possession into points in the first-

half. “We didn’t take our chances. We had alot of injuries and we played with a brokenteam but we did very well under the circum-stances,” he says.Walmers were missing lock Madeeg Dav-

ids and inside centre Mika-eel Hartley to in-juryand lost enforcer lockAntonLambrechtto another team.Sieed’s side had the better chances in the

first-half and breached the opposition 22 sev-eral times, but most of the opportunitiescame from long-range counter-attacks inbroken play and the guile, and pace, of theoutside backs.Walmers struggled to string phases to-

gether, were often out-fought at the break-down, out-muscled at the contact point andcommitted handling errors throughout the

encounter. Sieed adds the team also did notcover opposition tactical kicks well andfailed to disrupt the Despatch line-out asthey practised in the run-up to the match.Walmers will now take a week to recuper-

ate from the rigours of the tournament,which saw them rack-up thousands of trav-elling miles during trips to the Karoo andKwaZulu-Natal, before beginning prepara-tions for their next gameagainstBelharRFCin April.The teamwill be working hard to improve

their set-pieces, rucking and first-time tack-ling, he says.“We are going to bounce back. Our guys

are going to get fit and we’ll be back for theleague. In threeweekswe playBelhar (at theGreen Point Track) and we are up for it,” he

says. “Firstly we are going to give the guysa rest this week. Then, we are going to workhard on our set-pieces, as well as rucks,mauls.”“We are going to work hard on our tack-

ling. Our defence pattern is alright, but tack-ling comes from the heart – that’s a differentthing.“It’s an individual thing. The pattern is a

team thing, but the tackling is man-on-man.We will have to work on that.”Walmers finished fifth on the Super

League A table after a slow start last season.Depending on whether the injuries heal intime, the Community Cup could either givethe side an edge this year, serving as an ex-cellent warm-up, or leave them battle-wearybefore the start of the regular season.
