TAMMY PETERSEN

A NEW breed of drug dealer is cashing inon the market.

There are 20 known drug houses inManenberg alone, but the trade is growingdaily – and it’s not limited to gangs and king-pins who prey on society.

Police confirm that more and more singleparents are entering this trade of “easymon-ey” and that not all merchants live behindhighwallswith security cameras andhench-men at the gates.

Sarah (not her real name) is a singlemoth-er of two young boys. Her husband has beenin jail for the past three years on a murdercharge.

She initially ran a tuck shop from hercouncil house, whereafter she dabbled inselling dagga from her front window.

Six months later, Sarah branched out herillicit business to include tik and heroin.

The money she makes goes towards food,rent and electricity, she quickly points out.

“This is how I make my living. Do peopleexpect me to rather let my children starve?”she asks, defensively.

She makes about R400 profit a week andis living “quite comfortably”.

“My boys are too young to understandwhat their mommy is doing. But they knowthat things were tough before and that I amdoing all I can to provide for them,” she says.

She trades from about 08:00 until 20:00.“I only sell to people I know. Children are

off limits and are not even allowed to cometo my door. Adults are the only people Iserve. If they don’t get it from me, they willjust get it somewhere else. Therewill alwaysbe a market for it.”

The twisted irony is she teaches her chil-

dren “every day about the dangers of drugs”.Community worker Rea Williams says

“housewives doubling (up) as merchants”are becoming increasingly popular in localstreets. “But justifying the destruction oflives by selling them this poison can neverbe accepted,” she says. “Themajority of resi-dents in Manenberg are living below thebreadline, but that doesn’t give strugglingparents the right tomake a profit fromsome-thing which causes so much heartache.There are people struggling to make endsmeet while making an honest living, butthey put food on the table without breakingthe law.”

EVEN after two decades of participating inone of South Africa’s most gruelling cycletours, there are still manymore years on thebike for a Penlyn Estate resident.Cecil Burgher (55) will be participating in

his 21st Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tourthis year.Burgher first took part in the 109 km race

in 1988, where he was joined by his ex-wife.“From a very young age my friends and

I loved to cycle. I grew up in Crawford and

would even ride my bicycle to school,” hesays. “I would go and watch the race fromSimon’s Town and told myself I would loveto take part in it one day.”Burgher says his family also participated

with him in the race over the years.“When I first entered the competition my

ex-wife and I raced together. In 1998 my son,Nathaniel, whowas a 9-year-old then, joinedme andwe rode together for three years,” hesays.The William Arendse Street resident says

he took a break from the competition from2001 until 2004. “In 2000, I got divorced andtwo years later my son died. It was a trau-matic time for me and I just wanted to bealone,” he says.In 2005 the self-employed father of two de-

cided to dust off his bicycle and put his feeton the pedals again. “Since 2005, I have beenentering the competition in honour of myson. Today I see a lot of young cyclists in thecompetition and that keeps me motivated tokeep entering,” he says. “I was planning toretire next year after finishing the race butIwill continue because I still feel very youngand want to motivate others my age to en-ter.”Burgher says the youth can follow in his

footsteps and go on to be successful in thesport. “Cycling offers plenty of opportuni-ties and a greatway of being healthy.All youneed to do is to be focused and stay awayfrom drugs,” he says. “I urge everyone totake part in the race as it also offers an op-portunity for people to explore Cape Town.”This year’s race will be on Sunday 10

March.

A NOTORIOUS passageway will no longerhave to be a worry for anxious residents.

A 17-metre mast will be erected in FifthAvenue to light up the areas between Hes-ter, Katrina and Linda courts in Heideveld,reducing the chances of being attacked byskulking thugs lurking in the shadows.

Ward councillor AnthonyMoses has allo-cated R30 000 from the ward’s budget to re-solve the badly lit corridor, renowned formuggings and illicit activities.

The lights will be installed before June.Pedestrians use the throughway to get

back and forth from work and school.Gangsters, criminals and loiterers use

the throughway to gamble, rob and dodrugs.

Peoplewithbad intentions lurk in the cor-ridor especially after dark, resident JunaidDawood says.

“Inwinter,when it gets darkquickly, peo-ple become easy targets. It is easy for some-one to hide in the passage at night,” he says.

“It’s a step in the right direction. At leastthe City is trying to keep us safe.”

Moses says the alley has been a gnawing

worry for years. “The City of Cape Towncan’t fight crime like police do.Whatwe cando though is try and prevent crime. Erect-ing the mast and fixing lights in Heideveldis part of how we are trying to be preventa-tive by ensuring visibility,” Moses says.

The aim is to light the area so that crimi-nals cannot hide, he adds.

ResidentEvelynJodamus says the invest-ment will expose the bad which usuallytakes place in the shadows, but insists thatlighting the area is not the only solution.

“This resolution is short-term. More fo-cus is needed on youth development,” shesays.

Lights at Heideveld station as well as Ol-ivia and Patricia courts have also been re-placed to illuminate criminal hotspots.

Mugidien Barnes, the chairperson of theHeideveld Neighbourhood Watch, says thelights will be an immense help.

“There is lighting in the area but notenough. With the highmast, we will be ableto make positive identifications. It willmake it much easier for us,” he says.

Lieutenant IanBennett, the spokespersonfor Manenberg police, says he is impressedwith council’s innovative approach.

“I think it is a brilliant idea. We often pa-trol that area because it is listed as ahotspot. The lighting will definitely help intrying to keep the area clear of criminal ac-tivity,” he says.

EACH year thousands of people in infor-mal settlements are affected by fires.Countrywide about 5 000 peoplewere lefthomeless by shack fires in Decemberand January.Now the country’s third largest pharma-ceutical firm, Cipla Medpro, has a planto transform informal settlements froma combustible nightmare to a fire-resist-ant dream.The company launched Ajuga – a projectthatwill see fire-resistant structures andcreches installed in informal settle-ments. In February the Cipla Founda-tion sponsored the first two Ajuga struc-tures that replaced creches in Du Noon.These Ajuga units are apparently effec-tive fire-resistant structures, as it ismade frompatented steel and fire retard-ant panels which have been fire-tested to1 000º. During the media launch a mas-sive heap of woodwas set alight in-side a unit understrict fire and res-cue surveillance.One of the mostastonishing quali-ties of this fire-re-sistant material isthat while the firewas raging inside,one could hardlyfeel any heatthrough the wallson the outside.The roof is also de-signed to “popopen” and, saysdesigner DavidGrier, by replac-ing creches withfire resistantstructures, thisinitiative ensuresthat if there is afire outbreak, themost vulnerablepeople will be pro-tected. “With this

initiative, we can also provide childrenwith a place of safety and improve theconditions in which they are schooled,”he says.The house takes one day to assemble andis fitted with standard windows anddoors. Services, such as water and elec-tricity, can be installed.“The problem in informal settlements isthat so much corrugated iron is used.This is actually the worst material, be-cause what it does is build heat when afire starts. Eventually, whatever is com-bustible in that unit just vaporises anda fireball blows out of this house. Withthe wind, it goes from shack to shack toshack.”The answer to overcome this was foundin a plant named theAjuga,which is fire-resistant.Careful and meticulous design and test-ing eventually lead to the Ajuga unit.It costs R50 000 to build.

UNHEALTHY habits are going to hit youhard, as the so-called sin taxes increaseagain.Beer will cost 7c more for a can, a bottle

of wine will cost 15c more and a 750ml bottleof spirits will cost R3.60 more from Monday1 April.Motorists will pay 23c more for a litre for

petrol.Forgetting your shopping bag at homewill

cost you 6c more for each plastic bag youbuy.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-

gaarn and Luzuko Zini took to the streets tofind out what people had to say.

TTHERESA THERESA TSE:SE: “This is going to upset mostpeople. People in this country love to social­ise and drink. It will affect them because itmeans they will have to pay more to drink.”

PHOTOS: TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN AND LUZUKO ZINI

WWARDARDAH VAH VANAN DER SDER SCHYFF:CHYFF: “The sin taxdoes not apply to me; I don’t drink. Increas­ing it will hopefully decrease the number ofpeople who drink. With the price of plasticbags increasing, more people will recycle.”

HERMAN VHERMAN VANAN WYK:WYK: “With everything in­creasing, food prices will go up and the ma­jority of people will be affected because theywon’t be able to afford what they need tosurvive.”

SHAMIELSHAMIEL ALBERALBERTYN:TYN: “Businesses and peo­ple living below the breadline will be affect­ed the most by these increases. The govern­ment needs to make sure that taxpayers’money is used to improve the lives of poorpeople.”

MARMARCEL YCEL YSLIE:SLIE: He has mixed feelings about sintaxes and other increases and says while havingthe price of plastic bags increased is a good thing,fuel increases are always a setback. “If plasticbags cost more, less people will buy and that willhopefully reduce litter.”

WWAAYDONYDON WEBER:WEBER: He says the continuous increas­es are “becoming ridiculous” and soon people willnot be able to afford even the basic necessities.“Petrol increases really affect me because I driveto work every day. I need my car for the work Ido, so I can’t travel by public transport.”

MARE­LIZEMARE­LIZE KROKROTIN:TIN: She says although fuel in­creases are always difficult to swallow, she wel­comes the increase in sin taxes. “There are manyof my friends who are trying to quit because ofthe increases which I think not only helps them,but saves money and is good for their health.”

RESIDENTS of Greenhaven are demandingthat recreational facilities be put up at a lo-cal park.The open field in Brian Road currently

doesn’t have any park equipment.Sulyman Baatjes says the neighbour-

hood’s children need apparatus.“I want to know where our rates money

is going because several parks in CapeTown are upgraded every year but our onestays the same, even though ourward coun-cillor promised somethingwill be done,” hesays. “Our park is neglected.Now it is beingused by drug dealers and loiterers.”Baatjes says children from the area go to

other parks in other neighbourhoods.“We want slides and swings and benches.

Right now there is nothing, just an openfield surrounded by trees,” he says.Salim Parker lives opposite the park and

echoes Baatjies’ sentiments.“There are a lot of children in the area

and they need to be stimulated. An emptyfield doesn’t do much. Sometimes theyounger ones can’t play ball with the olderones so park equipment would be helpful,”he says.He adds that if the park was occupied by

more children, there would be less loiter-ers. “We definitely need some activities forthe children so that they could occupy thearea. It is a quiet neighbourhood and be-cause of that the loiterers are taking over.There is even a group who often sells drugshere.”Diane Livesey, who has been living oppo-

site the park all her life, says her childrenmake full use of the open field.“They climb the trees and play cricket

and soccer and I did the same when I wasyounger. The problem I have however isthat there aremanypeople loitering aroundand using the field as a thoroughfare toGatesville,” Livesey says.“I have to be vigilant and watch my chil-

dren all the time because there are someun-savoury characters using this route.”Ward councillor Junade Hoosein says

plans are on the horizon to upgrade thepark. “I have had meetings with the City ofCape Town’s Parks and Forest departmentand I have mentioned the residents’ con-cerns,” Hoosein says.“We want to put up gym equipment, a

walkway and some benches.”Hoosein says he will meet with residents

for their input and promises that the parkwill be upgraded by next year.

THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS.

IF YOU COULD SAVE RATEPAYERS MILLIONS,WHYWOULDN’T YOU?REPORT ELECTRICITY THEFT ANONYMOUSLY.SMS32211 (R1/SMS)

OPERATIONKHANYISA.CO.ZA DIAL 228466# (ACTION) FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ELECTRICITYTHEFT.*

10000179SM

Port Elizabeth – Municipalitiesaround the country are beingbrought to their knees by ruthless

syndicates who are responsible for citiesand towns losing millions every month.The theft is relentless. In one of the

more recent examples, the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality said it waslosing 24 mi l l ion each month .eThekwini ratepayers are reported tobe losing R120 million a year.The Cit ies of Cape Town and

Johannesburg lose about R121 million andR663 million respectively. The crime has

also been reported as one of the factors thatbrought uMsunduzi Municipality to itsknees. Many other smaller municipalitiesare likewise being devastated.The crime behind these losses is

electricity theft and happens in variousforms. Syndicates employ individuals whoare desperate for work to sell illegalprepaid electricity vouchers, to connecthouseholds illegally, tamper with theirmeters, or to steal electricity cables.The culprits do all of this at a fee,luring innocent people into crime. Thesesyndicates often pretend to be employees

of Eskom or local government, intimidatingand vict imising ordinary cit izens,preventing them from taking action.Recently a large quantity of electricity

boxes, connectors and a receipt book werefound during the arrest of suspects inPort Elizabeth. The receipt book includedaddresses of buildings in Cape Town,George, Knysna and Port Elizabethwhere electricity boxes were installed.Investigations are ongoing and informationfound in the receipt book could lead tofurther arrests. The perpetrators couldface serious criminal charges.

Local government has joined forces withthe power utility Eskom, the businesssector and the media to stem theflow of losses caused by electricity theft.The South African Local GovernmentAssociation (SALGA) is a core partner ofOperation Khanyisa, a campaign thataims to mobilise all South Africans forlegal, safe and efficient electricity use.SALGA has recently committed to

redoubling its efforts to combat thecrime of electricity theft, which it saysis responsible for municipalities losing upto R3.2 billion each year.

According to SALGA’s ExecutiveDirector for Municipal InfrastructureServices, Mthobeli Kolisa, SALGA needsto coordinate and support municipalities toact and report their action in respect ofelectricity theft, and to review their by-laws to have more stringent penaltiesagainst electricity theft.At the launch of Operation Khanyisa,

Xolile George, CEO of SALGA, describedelectricity theft as “a pandemic coursingthrough our delivery capabilities and fiscalplanning.”“Local government,” he said “plays a

pivotal role in the distribution of electricity,and electricity theft hits at the very heartof the electricity distribution industry inSouth Africa.”“Enough is enough,” George continued.

“We have joined forces with our partners inOperation Khanyisa and will stamp outthis crime.”Together with Crime Line, Operation

Khanyisa provides a platform for SouthAfricans to report electricity theftanonymously, by sending a detailed SMSto 32211 (R1/SMS).For more information on how to report or

LANSDOWNE and Crawford residents arecalling on Metrorail to clean up their act.This comes after residents have beenwait-

ing for the rail agency to fix broken fencingbetween Crawford and Lansdowne stationssince last year.Allie Johnston lives opposite Lansdowne

station in Clive Road and saysMetrorail hasfailed to clean up the area or even have itfenced.“The fence has been broken for over three

years,” he says.“I have lost faith inMetrorail because they

always make empty promises. The areaneeds to be cleaned at least twice a year.”Cedrick May also lives in Clive Road and

says local streets have become unsafe.“People from other areas rob people of

their bags, break into homes and use thegaps in the fencing as their escape routes.Metrorail alsoneeds tobeef up their securityat the Crawford station because it is not safeas there have been a lot of robberies there,”he says.“At the station, the subway is really dirty

and unsafe for people. Metrorail needs tocome to the party and get their act together.”Sharief Ismail is the owner of a security

company that patrols the area near Craw-ford station.“We once caught two people who were

stealing copper rods from the substation be-tween the two stations,” he says.“They made their way to the substation

via the broken fence and were going to es-cape the same way.”Metrorail held a meeting with residents

and ward councillor Anthea Green on Tues-day at the Smuts Road Park in RondeboschEast.Mthuthuzeli Swartz, the regional manag-

er for Metrorail, says repairs are plannedandprioritised annually in terms of urgency

and implemented according to availablefunding.“The prioritisation is based on a risk as-

sessment comprising of a number of crite-ria. Replacement costs for a concrete pali-sade fence range between R800 and R1 100per meter,” he says.“Due to the vastness of the region and re-

sources available, replacement and repairshave to be prioritised against other fencingprojects. The region’s horticultural require-ments far exceeded its available resources.Maintenance and clearance of rubble andweeds was directed at keeping the railwaytracks clear and safe for operations.”Swartz says Metrorail continues to moti-

vate for additional funding but the agencyis also “acutely aware that [it is] competingfor finite resources”.“Metrorail will try to expedite the clean-

ing of the immediate surrounds of the sta-tion and the repairs of holes on the fence,”he says.Green says Metrorail has been promising

to clean and fence the area since last year.“They promised to do it in September al-

ready. I hope they will stick to their promis-es this time. The residents have been com-plaining to me and it’s time they do some-thing about these concerns,” she says.

THE International Peace College of SouthAfrica (IPSA) has made history by becom-ing the first Islamic institution in the coun-try to be registered as a higher educationinstitution.The facility in Rylands Estate recently

held a breakfast to mark the achievement.Shaykh Ighsaan Taliep, the principal of

the institution, says he hopes the collegewill produce great leaders.

“IPSA is committed to demonstrate,through practice, teaching and the free ex-change of ideas, the centrality of Islam tothe modern world. The legal, ethical andtheological legacies that have been dis-tilled from the Qur’an and the teachings ofthe Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) by thefinest minds in history beg to be contextu-alised in the socio-economic and politicalchallenges of our time,” he saysDr Blade Nzimande, the national minis-

ter of High Education and Training, wasthere to hand over the registration certifi-cate.“The merger between Darul Arqam Is-

lamic Institute (DAII) and the Islamic Col-lege of South Africa (ICOSA) to form IPSAcould not have come at a better time. Thedepartment is stepping-up its gear to find-ing solutions to the critical challenges fac-ing our education and training system,” hesays.“This undertaking is consistent with the

vision of the department, which is to havea differentiated and fully inclusive post-school system that allows all South Afri-cans to access and succeed in the relevanteducation and training. I am inspired bytheunitywithin theMuslimcommunity asdemonstrated through this undertaking.”The institution will be offering a three-

year Bachelors degree in Islamic Studies.Registration is still open.The qualification covers all aspects of Is-

lamic Legacy and majors in both Arabicand Sha’riah law.“IPSA has designed a Bachelors pro-

gramme that relies on various pedagogicalapproaches, including selectivememorisa-tion and critical analysis,” Taliep says.“Emphasis is placed on important foun-

dational texts, an in-depth training in criti-cal methodological issues, a firm founda-tion in the Arabic language, knowledge ofthe most important Islamic sciences andthe tools of learning and methodology.This programme is now accredited by theCouncil of Higher Education, as well asregistered by the South African Qualifica-tions Authority on the National Qualifica-tions Framework.”

THERE is some light at the endof the tunnelfor Rape Crisis, the NGO which supportssurvivors of rape.The provincial Department of Social De-

velopment last week gave the NGO R1.3m.Last year, Rape Crisis faced an uncertain

future – and near closure – as a result ofa financial crisis.Rape Crisis director Kathleen Dey ex-

pressed gratitude at the financial injection.“We still have a financial crisis, but we arepositive.”Last year, the NGO could retain only one

of the 13 employees.“Those whom we had to let go remained

as volunteers. This funding will help to em-ploy them on short-term contracts,” shesays.

Dey explains that running costs of morethan R7m a year helps to keep their doorsopen. “We not only call on the governmentand businesses, but also on society to assistus,” she says.Provincial minister of social develop-

ment, Albert Fritz, says the funds camefrom the 2013-2014 financial budget fromother programmeswhere fundswere saved.“The funds are beingused for organisationsin dire need,” he saysThe department allocates R800m annual-

ly to at least 1 800 NGOs.Fritz says: “We will be taking a closer

look at the value organisations bring to thecommunity.”There is a challenge, he says, to establish

more organisations such asRapeCrisis andotherswhich assist abusedwomenand chil-dren in rural areas.

THE vivid imagery of being tortured andforced to eat faeces will forever be etched inher mind.A 33-year-old recovering drug addict says

she was stripped of her dignity by staff at arehabilitation centre in Schaapkraal.The horrifying allegations of torture at

this unregistered facility have left her fami-ly seething.The provincial Department of Social De-

velopment has confirmed that the centre isunregistered.Speaking to People’s Post on condition of

anonymity, the recovering addict says shewants to get clean for her family, but “beingtortured is not (her) ideal way of kicking thehabit”.“I was forced to eat food with mice faeces

in it, but that is only the tip of the icebergof what they do to the patients,” she says.“I was forced to go onmy hands and knees

in shorts and a T-shirt and clean the tileswith a toothbrush,” she continues.She alleges heaps of rubbish is thrown at

patients,who are forced tomimic swimmingwhile face down on the ground.It costs R6000 for a three-month pro-

gramme and the centre has over 80 patients,says the recovering addict.Patients are also tortured if they break the

rigid rules of the rehab, the woman claims.Regularly beatings are dished out to pa-

tients who are caught using drugs at the fa-cility, she says.“A group of people tried to escape from the

rehab last month. One of them was kickedto the ground and beaten with a golf club,”she says.The place is also apparently crawlingwith

mice.Tik, heroine, dagga and other hard drugs

have given life to this recovering addict’sdemise.She, however, says she is ready to pick

up the pieces for her family’s sake.The mother of three says: “These centres

must be closed down. These people do notknow how to help addicts.”Provincial minister of Social Develop-

ment,AlbertFritz, is awareof the situation.He has committed to launching an inves-

tigation into the matter.His spokesperson, Melany Kuhn, says:

“We will not hesitate to take swift action.We are determined to work with our serv-ice providers to reduce drug- and alcohol-related harms in our communities, andwhen allegations like these surface, it hasthe potential to derail all the work good fa-cilities are doing in this regard.”She says the social development depart-

ment has nearly doubled its budget for sub-stance abuse programmes in the last threeyears, from R42m to nearly R80m this year.The recovering addict now visits theMa-

trix Centre in Tafelsig. “Not only do I gettested, but they provide me with the neces-sary tools to recover.”This group has helped her stay clean

since her return home from the rehab al-most threeweeks ago, she says. She attendsmorning and afternoon support groups inthe week and attends Narcotics Anony-mous meetings over the weekend.When People’s Post called the director of

the facility, he had indicated he was unableto meet.However, numerous calls were made to

him the next day and every day thereafterfor over a week, all of which went unan-swered.The woman alleges the director of this fa-

cility had been involved with other rehabsshut down after allegations of abuse.

People’s Post has reported on allegations ofabuse levelled against five of eight illegal re-habs.The rehabs in the greater Grassy Park area

in 2008 received registered letters from theDepartment of Social Development orderingthat they cease operations until they havebeen legally registered.These include the Al Falaqa Treatment

Centre in Schaapkraal; Al Falaqa TreatmentCentre for Girls in Lotus River; Circle ofFriends Treatment Centre in Grassy Park;the Raghma for Boys Treatment Centre inParkwood and Raghma for Girls TreatmentCentre in Eagle Park.Police has received no formal complaints

about the Schaapkraal rehab centre.Grassy Park Police station commander

Colonel Fana Dlamini says: “We can only in-vestigate once a case is opened. Any personwho has witnessed the alleged torture is en-couraged to report it to us.”

EACH age or season has its own characteristics. The1960s, for example, was the era of “make love, not war”.Fast forward to the present and we have the age of tech-nology.We press buttons and life happens.What, then, would future generations make of this era?

Instantpersonal gratificationcouldbe themarkof today’ssociety.People want things now. They want it their way. They

want it to suit themselves. To say this is selfish is tanta-mount to calling the Black Death a minor inconvenience.It wasn’t, and neither is narcissism.People bent on destruction will often take the path of

least resistance. This is why the vulnerable in society isoften victimised.And those structures which can least afford it become

easy pickings for vandals.Schools are broken into. Supplies are stolen and dam-

aged. Classrooms are vandalised in horrible ways. Crech-es and even places of worship don’t fare any better. Noteven the dead are spared to rest in peace. Cemeteries aredefiled and become a home for the homeless.Perpetrators would not easily do damage to a police sta-

tion or even a hospital.The sentiment that damaging a school is equal to doing

harm to the community it serves, seems to fall on deafears. For some it is easier to steal and break down thanit is to build and be part of a healthier, wiser and moreeducated future.Yet it is the children from those communities who will

be left without.Do the math. More time cleaning a trashed classroom

means less time teaching and learning.More books stolenmeans children have to share text books, as well as studytime and homework sessions. More windows brokenmeans more exposure to the elements.How to foot the bill of replacing what was broken and

stolen? This is the first thought entering the mind of vic-tims and probably the last of those who do the damage.

Abortion affects familiesIN LATE January, the Islamic Unity Con-vention Women’s Forum hosted its fifth an-nual Surghatul Mou-oodah – the Cry of theAborted Child – programme at MasjidulBaghr to commemorate all the victims of in-fanticide.On 1 February 1997 abortion-on-demand

was legalised in South Africa.The legalisation of abortion was justly op-

posed byMuslims and faithful Christians inSouth Africa, on the basis of horrendousbloodshed.Since then, more than a million babies –

and counting – have been killed legallywith-in the wombs of their mothers, with taxpay-ers’ money. But in that fateful decision, gov-ernment did not take into consideration thedestructive effects itwouldhave on the fami-ly unit.We are referring to the idea of legitimate

fatherhood.The decision whether to have an abortion

now famously rests between the “womanand her doctor or back street abortionist”.Who ismissing from this? Entirely left out

of this life-and-death question is whether ornot the woman is married. If she is married,should her husband, the legitimate father ofthe child in question, have any say in thematter?Our country is in conflict about the legal

worth of the pre-born baby.While fathers have to be included in law-

suits surrounding adoption and visitationrights, they are excluded from the decisionwhether or not their children will have theright to be born.The assault is, therefore, on the concept of

legal paternity.It is said that “a society whose sexual de-

sires are out of control, is doomed to perish”.

We can conclude that Western democra-cies, like South Africa, are financially feed-ing the abortionof family life, by subsidisingfornication and making funds available forthe use condoms in schools.The State aids teenage pregnancies

through the issuing of social grants to teenmothers, and for the past 16 years the statehas been financially aiding abortions-on-de-mand and, in the name of reproductivehealth, have been financing contraceptivesfor young girls as young as 12.South Africans are witnessing the grave

consequences of how taxpayers’ money areused to break down the family unit, insteadof strengthening society.Kathleen Park said: “Whenweweaken the

family unit, we become vulnerable to otherforces. Incrementally, governments fill thevoid once occupied by parents.”Indeed a very true statement, as the state

is financially feeding the un-fathering andun-mothering of society.This uncontrolled sexual behaviour

among teens is a direct consequence of somany divorces and short-term marriages.For what can be left of marriage when the

sanctity of themarital bedhasbeen contami-nated by pre-marital promiscuous behav-iour?The State will be showing more compas-

sion for its people if they are prepared torather spend taxpayers’ money by financial-ly supporting young people becoming re-sponsible adults that will eventually be anasset and not a liability to the country.On the other hand, the onus lies with the

faith communities to turn their homes intoplaces of worship as morally unclean peoplehappen to be alienated from God.Magboeba Davids

Accurate and straight to the pointPEOPLE’S POST’S comment (“Do some-thing”, 10 February) articulated my feelingsexactly.All of us need to take responsibility for the

society we have created.No one is born a rapist or murderer.Neither is poverty an excuse for creating

the monsters we have created.Many of our finest citizens have been

raised inpoor communities,with lovingpar-ents who have been able to foster ideals ofintegrity, honesty and conscience.Wealsoneed to stopblaming theapartheid

era. Find and support organisations such asThe Maternal, which supports pregnantmothers, the Parent Centre, the SaartjieBaartman Centre and Rape Crisis.Gill Lanham

Men, changeyour viewsTHESE past few months, civil society haswitnessed the abhorred acts of violence andthe horrendous rape of young women andchildren. What astounds me is, despite themedia attention and the outrage displayedin respect of the brutal rape and murder of17-year old Anene Booysen in Bredasdorp,our women continue to fall victim.The seeming pandemic continues unabat-

ed with reports of the same sordid killingand rape of innocent women in Atlantis,Philippi and Grabouw. When will (it) end?This is the stark reality facing women and

girls who remain trapped in fear of becom-ing victims. The shooting of ReevaSteenkamp by her boyfriend, paralympianOscar Pistorius, may seem unrelated to theaforementioned cases, but yet another wom-an has perished, and this controversial trialwill further highlight the plight of women.Men need to do much introspection.The pain that these tragedies bring upon

families is insurmountable and I believe themedia hype has merely articulated an age-old scourge of gender-based violence, whichis deep-rooted in the psyche of SouthAfricanmen. To what can this atrocious dilemma beattributed to? Do we apportion blame to thedark and violent days of apartheid and itsnegative connotations?In theWestern Cape, do we blame it on the

pandemic of drug and alcohol abuse, and es-pecially callousness and violent acts with-out a conscience when a cocktail of tik andheroin is imbibed? Or could it be ascribedto poverty and unemployment exacerbatingthe problem? Statistics indicate that vio-lence against South African women and thedeath rate is the highest in comparison tosimilar developing countries.The recent spate of crimes against women

is an indicator that rape and murder has noclass or race distinction, and abject povertyin townships or opulentwealth in plush sub-urbs are no longer distinguishing factors inSouth Africa.We are living in a sick society and men

must take responsibility to up the cudgels totransform and renew our perception ofwomen in a traditionally male-dominatedrealm.Mark Kleinschmidt

IN THEIR new blue uniforms, hundreds ofnew constables last week took the oath toserve and protect.

A total of 628 constables will be placedthroughout the country after they finishedtheir two-year training course.

The Philippi police academy held a pass-ing out parade of 628 trainees on Tuesday.

Lieutenant-General Arno Lamoer, theprovincial police commissioner, says thisgroup is joining a proud organisation.

“As they begin their careers they must re-member to respect the community and servethem to the best of their ability,” he says.

“We want them to excel in this professionbecausewewant policememberswith integ-rity.”

LevonaArendse came fromOudtshoorn towitness the parade and support her friendwho is one of new constables.

“With more police members serving thecommunities, I will be feeling much safer.I hope they will take whatever they havebeen taught at the academy and make ourareas safer,” she says.

Samantha Blake, the head of managementcommunication at the academy, says citi-zens need to support the police.

“We have trained these young men andwomen so that they can be of benefit to the

public. We need to work together to makeour communities safer,” she says.

“They must always be humble and treateveryone equally.”

Lizel Boonzaaier from Paarl says the po-lice must do their work and the communitywill support them.

“They must know that the safety of thepeople is in their hands. The community al-so needs to work with the police so that wefight crime together,” she says.

Blake says anyone who wants to join theforce can visit their nearest police stationand fill out an application form.

“We will keep in touch with them regard-ing what steps they will follow after they

have applied,” she says.A drivers licence and a matric certificate

is essential, Blake adds.Lamoer says there are 11 training acade-

mies around the country and the Philippiacademy is one of the biggest.

“This group is the first to come out of thetwo year training course. Before, the train-ing was just six months,” he says.

“The course includes theory and practicaltrainingwhere they are taught about the dif-ferent laws in this country and how to con-duct themselves as police officers. This isnot a job but rather a calling and one needsdetermination and dedication to be part ofthis service.”

Santos to tacklelog leadersLIAM MOSES

AN ACID test awaits Santos when they takeonNational First Division (NFD) log leadersMpumalanga Black Aces in Middelburg onSaturday.The Lansdowne club have hit form in the

league,winning all three of theirNFDgamessince the start of the year, and seem to haveturned the corner on their poor performanc-es in the first-half of the season.Santos beat Thanda Royal Zulu 1-0 and

thumped Polokwane City 4-1 in February,before recording a 2-1 victory over SivutsaStars at Athlone Stadium on Friday night.However, Saturday’s encounter against

Aces, who beat them 0-1 at Athlone Stadiumin the first game of the season, could be anentirely different prospect.While Ian Palmer, the side’s head coach,

admits thematchwill be tough, he isn’t read-ing too much in Ace’s position on the table.“We played Thanda Royal Zulu and they

were a test. We played Polokwane City andtheywere also a test, because they are on thebottom of the log,” says Palmer.“From now until the end of the league eve-

ry game is going to be a test and the positionon the league doesn’t really matter. Playingaway from homewill be difficult, but I thinkthe players have the confidence because ofthe three wins.”The People’s Team have lost only one

match since Palmer took charge of the clubduring the extended mid-season break, go-ing down 3-2 to local rivals Vasco da Gamain theNedbankCup onWednesday 13 Febru-ary.Friday’s victory, courtesy of two goals

from debutante Carl Lark, saw Palmer’steam climb to third on the table.But Palmer was left unconvinced by his

side’s performance, despite the victory, and

cautioned the players against over-confi-dence.“I wasn’t impressed with the match yes-

terday, but the sign of a championship teamis getting full points evenwhenyouplaybad-ly,” he says.“Just because we won doesn’t mean we

(are allowed to) play badly next week again.In terms of turning the corner, I can onlyjudge that after about six games.“Now we are in with an outside chance

and there are still fifteen games to go. Forgetabout the last performance, nowwe focus onwhat’s lying ahead of us.”The former Black Leopards mentor says

tactical discipline, defensive organisationand sharp counter-attacking will be key ifhis side are to leaveMpumalanga with theirimpressive run intact.

Yankees aim to avenge KO defeatWESTRIDGE YANKEES aim to lay theghosts of 2012 to rest when they play inthe Western Province Softball Federa-tion Super League Knockout final onSunday 10 March.Yankeeswere beaten 2-1 byGlenthorne

A’s in the final of last year’s Knockoutand they look ahead to meet their rivalsin the final again this year.Westridge qualified for this year’s final

after brushing aside OldMutual Cubs 6-3on Sunday 24 February, while A’s facedTantasport in their semi-final last night.The outcome of the match had not beendetermined at the time of going to print.Lester Smith, Yankees head coach, was

certain A’s would triumph in the semi-fi-nal and says his team is “gearing them-selves up” to face A’s.“I think we are evenly matched this

season. I think Glenthorne has the samepedigree as Yankees and they are a teamon the brink of success,” he says.“We know what to expect from them

and they know what to expect from us.It’s a matter of who takes the opportuni-ties on the day.“They are a young side, they are confi-

dent and have a good team spirit. Theyhave some variety and they have somequick players, which works in their fa-vour in their offensive game.”

A’s currently lead the Super League ta-ble – with 33 points after 16 victories in17 games – while Westridge hold secondplace – on 30 points after 15 victories.Westridge recently suffered defeat at

the hands of their rivals, losing 3-1 to A’son Sunday 31 March, and it is expectedthe league victors will be decided whenthe teams meet again in the final roundof matches in mid-March.Smith says last year’s final defeat, the

recent loss and the fact that the teams areneck-and-neck in the title race has alladded extra incentive to the Knockout fi-nal clash.“It does add a bit of incentive. I was on

break last year so I wasn’t involved withYankees last season as Iwas coaching theSouth Africa under-19 team,” he says.“The incentive is there to beat them

this time around. The league is the big-gest prize and has always been Yankees’bread and butter. In the past the rivalrywas between us and Falcons. At the mo-ment Glenthorne has replaced Falcons inthat rivalry.”Smith hopes a large crowdwill be in at-

tendance at Turfhall, forwhat is expectedto be tight encounter.V The time of the game has not been confirmedyet, but it is expect to take place between 13:00and 16:00 on Sunday.

ported the Premier Cup for so many years.It is incredibly gratifying to see our coun-try’s youth reach their full potential throughsoccer,” he says.“To the hundreds of volunteers who assist

behind the scenes: we pay tribute to all thosewho work so enthusiastically to make thisevent such a huge success.”Matlakala adds the tournament has also

benefited the communities involved“throughour skills development, small busi-ness and life skills programmes”.Another addition to this year’s instalment

Annual walk a success – againA LOUD bang from the starting pistol and theywere off – 20 000 people walking through thestreets of Green Point and Sea Point in the an-nual Sunshine D Polar Ice Cream 10km BigWalk.Thewalk, ofwhichPeople’sPostwas theprint

media sponsor, has grown to be a highlight onthe Cape Town sports calendar and neither theearly start nor the rising temperature keptwalkers from lining up en masse at Cape TownStadium on Sunday.Elias Parker, convenor of the executive com-

mittee for the walk organisers, thanked all thewalkers for their support of the event and thecharities which will benefit from the proceeds.“The organisers really believes that the com-

munity has taken ownership of this event andwe are privileged to host this event every year,as well as being able to be of service to our peo-ple,” says Parker.“They are the true inspirational force behind

this event. They have made this an iconicevent. We do the preparation work and we findsatisfaction in that, but this event would not besuccessful if not for the support. Thousands of

people havewalked in the last fewyears so theyhave escalated this event to the point where itis recognised as the third biggestwalking eventin Cape Town.”This year the Red Cross Children’s Hospital

Trust and IslamicLibrarywill againbe theben-eficiaries of the money raised by the walkers.Since the inaugural event in 2000 overR1.35m

has been raised for the Hospital Trust and beenused to upgrade andmaintain the hospital’s fa-cilities, to improve life for patients.Last year alone R150 000 was raised for the

hospital, and substantial sums have also beendonated to the Islamic Library, the League ofthe Friends of the Blind and Gift of the Givers.Any funds donated to the Hospital Fund this

year will be used for the construction of a newradiology department, which is expected tocost over R40m.This year, walkers were also addressed by

Fikile Mbalula, the national Minister of Sportand Recreation. All finishers received a medaland cash prizes were awarded at a lucky drawafter the race. The main prize was two airlinetickets to Dubai and $500 spending money.
