Law to jam car burglarsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Safety and security agencies in the citycentre are working towards having re-mote jamming devices formally classi-

fied as implements used to break into cars.This as the Cape Town Central City Im-

provement District (CCID), along with po-lice, other improvement districts, communi-ty police forums and council law agenciesenter into talks with the National Prosecut-ing Authority (NPA), says Muneeb Hen-dricks, safety and security manager of theCCID.

The NPA is the body to prosecute crimi-nals, providing it can be proven that the re-

mote was used to gain access to the car.Any common remote can be used to jam

a car locking or alarm signal, Hendricks ex-plains.

“The words ‘car break-in implement’ referto an item used in conjunction with force,such as a forcible entry into your car. Forexample, a spark plug can be used to shatteryour window, a Slim Jim can be used to for-cibly open your lock or a screwdriver canbe used to force open the lock barrel. Howev-er, there is no force used when using a re-mote jamming device. In addition it is alsoa common item that could reasonably befound on any normal person,” he adds.

This means that even though the culpritis identified and caught in possession of the

device, no arrest can be made unless the cul-prit is caught in the car or in possession ofthe stolen items, Hendricks says.

Remote jamming works very simply, Hen-dricks explains. When a driver presses hisremote to lock his car, a thief close by willpress a hidden remote device of his own re-peatedly that overwhelms the airwaves inthe area and blocks the driver’s remote sig-nal to the car.

“If you simplybeep the remotewhilewalk-ing away and you don’t physically checkthat the car is locked, there is a fair chancethat it might in fact not be. It is imperativethat you physically try to open the dooryourself before you walk away.”

Remote jamming is particularly problem-

atic because most insurance companies willnot pay out unless there is physical proofthat a theft has occurred, Hendricks ex-plains.

The matter is of such concern that theCCID has made it a focal point of its current“stash it, don’t flash it” campaign.

“One of the biggest problems with remotejamming is that it has made breaking intocars a simple daytime crime, whereas beforeif one had to break into a car with force, itwas mostly done under cover of darkness.

“During the day business people, especial-ly, tend to carry more valuables in their carssuch as laptops and tablets, so the loss is thatmuch greater.”V Continued on page 3.

A group of concerned residents from across Cape Town cametogether under the auspices of the #ZumaMustFall campaign inthe CBD on Thursday. The march – on the same day as the Sateof the Nation Address – saw protesters walk through the city fromGreen Market Square to the Grand Parade. March organiserChristelle Scheepers, addressing the crowd, said: “We expecteveryone to be equal in the eyes of the law, including the president.” PHOTO: LOUISA STEYL

Safety signsat site soonNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Signage to improve pedestrian safetyaroundaconstruction site inGardens

is on the cards.This after permission was granted for

the contractor to store bricks on thepavement in front of the development.The building – between Buitenkant,

Mill and Maynard streets – will featurea ground floor of shops topped by a fiveto six storey block of “upmarket” flats,Stephen Wormald, Baker Street Proper-ties’ letting agent, previously told Peo-ple’s Post (“Development revs engines”,14 November 2013).Local residents recently voiced their

concern about the pavement, worriedthat the storage would impact on pedes-trian safety and may damage the pave-ment.The City of Cape Town approved a

“hoarding application” on 17 Septemberlast year so that the sidewalk can be usedto load and offload materials until theend of August this year, explains Johanvan der Merwe, mayoral committeemember for energy, environmental andspatial planning.“The contractor will be moving the

fence up to the sidewalk soon. Further-

more, signage will need to be erected todivert pedestrians across MaynardStreet to use the sidewalk opposite thesite, to ensure their safety fromthebuild-ing activities,” he says.The City’s Planning and Building De-

velopment Management Departmentconducted a site visit last Wednesday, atwhich time only two pallets of brickswere still on site. They are going to beremoved soon, Van der Merwe says.Brett Herron, Mayco member for

transport, says during this site visit thecontractor was advised to install sign-age.“The signage will advise pedestrians

to make use of the sidewalk on the oppo-site side,” he reiterates.“Thebricks are currently beingmoved

onto the building site and the fence willbe moved onto the kerb line.”In addition, “a fee has been imposed on

the applicant” against possible damagesto the footway and sidewalk, Herronsays.The developer will be liable for any

damages to the pavement, he adds.Developer Ken Mobi says the contrac-

tors’s safety officers on site are attendingto the safety of pedestrians and that allregular safety standards are being ob-served.

FROM PAGE 1Having remote jamming devices classified asimplements used to break into cars wouldhelp law enforcement agencies, as preventa-tive work can then be done to arrest suspectsfor being in possession of these implements,Hendricks says.“This would go a long way to prevent theft

out of cars, which is a highly problematiccrime category throughout the country. Itwill also allow the prosecutor to be able to se-cure successful convictions when suspectsare arrested,” he says.“We are always looking to prevent inci-

dents rather than having to react to them aft-erwards. This would make suspects awarethat they risk arrest if they are found to beinpossessionof remoteswhile they are scout-ing a potential area.”Hendricks says there are several ways for

car owners to safeguard themselves againstthis type of crime, such as keeping all valua-bles out of sight in the car’s boot and stashingvaluables before they park by placing themin the boot before the start of the journey.“In the central city all of our CCID public

safety officers are also specifically trained tonotice as far as possible who climbs out ofwhich car, and to warn drivers to check theirdoors when they park.”Hendricks advises that if you do fall victim

to remote jamming, though, to followthrough with more than just a police reportand to ensure your car is fingerprinted.“That way when the culprit is caught, the

police will be able to make the link and theperson can be charged with multiple countsof breaking into cars, rather than just the onefor which he happened to be caught.”

CBD

Green robot says ‘Go!’ for booksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The sight of over 50 pre-school childrensigning and skipping along a busy CBD

street caught many unaware on Tuesdaymorning.The children – aged between four and six

– paused their excited chatter only to stopand greet passers-by, explaining that theywere on their way to the library.Ina first for inner-city crèches,Pikkieland

pre-school and crèche has started running a

reading programme that sees pupils visitingCentral Library once a month for storytel-ling and to borrow books for reading athome.However, escorting such a large number

of small children to the library posed chal-lenges, says principal Mariam Papier,which prompted the school staff to requesttraffic officers to accompany the children –not only to keepthem safe, but alsoto instil road safe-ty rules.

The project not only serves as an excitingouting for the little ones, but also looks togrow a love for reading, Papier says.

“We hope to instil the love for books andreading aswell as the ability to handle bookswith care and respect fromanearly age,” shesays.

The pre-school believes early reading willboost later pupil performance, Papier ex-plains.

“Reading helps in all subjects and life in

general. If a child cannot read a questionwith concept, he will not be able to answerit accordingly. If one is able to read, you caneasily read yourself out of any situation,”she says.Only running for a fewmonths, the results

of the programme are yet to be seen, Papiersays.“I am so positive about the project, and I

believe that this will be a standing projectas books never go out of fashion,” she says.

CITY ACTS TO RESOLVE LONG VEHICLELICENCE QUEUES

The City of Cape Town has stepped in to issue licence disc renewal reminders. Vehicle ownerswill now be receiving renewal notices from the City rather than from national agencies as theydid previously.

This will reduce the inconvenience suffered over the past months which has been brought onby the failure of national government agencies to fulfil their responsibilities and which has putthe brakes on the issuing of renewal notices.

The National Department of Transport has not completed the transfer of the Electronic NationalTraffic Information System (eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Theyare not sending out renewal notices and they are unable to supply the City with more eNaTISterminals to enable us to increase our service capacity at our municipal offices.

Other City interventions to date include:• serving clients before the official opening time of our offices of 08:00 where possible• remaining open until the last person in the queue has been attended to• having staff work overtime to increase the capacity to serve customers• redeploying staff to hotspots across the metro

Customers are also encouraged to apply for their vehicle licence online by visitingwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices.

National government regulations now require proof of residence when applying for a licencerenewal. So please don’t forget to bring your ID and, if possible, please make copies of your IDand proof of residence as this will reduce the time spent at our municipal centres.

For a full list of acceptable documents that constitute proof, residents can visit the WesternCape Government website: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw

For more information please contact [email protected].

We thank you for your patience and support.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

Ignoring debtwill not makeit go awayDebt has become a huge problem in South Africa, especiallywith the interest hike andunemployment – it is estimated thatover 9m South Africans are over-indebted.

It has been reported that half of South Africa’s workforceis currently struggling with debt repayments, with a stagger-ing 6000 vehicles and 2000 homes being repossessed monthly.

25 000 people are in danger of losing their homes. And don’teven mention looming retrenchment and unemployment.

This is an alarming state of affairs as we are entering 2016.What is even more worrying is that we live in a culture in

which consumers think that ignoring the issue will make itdisappear. The reality is that it will only lead to undesiredresults, such as judgements and an unnecessary bureau list-ing.

The question is, if you find yourself in debt, what optionsdo you have to rectify your situation and how can you movecloser to obtaining financial freedom?

Your first step is recognising the signs that you are in debt:don’t be in denial and accept that you need help.

Examples of behaviours are regular short-term loans, pawnshop visits, using credit cards to buy basic necessities likefood or even using your credit cards to repay your short-termloans.

Your immediate solution would be to approach your creditprovider – be honest, transparent and discuss restructuringyourdebt repayment plan.Most importantly, livewithinyourmeans and budget. Eat at home, not restaurants, reducewasteful expenditure on luxury items and even downgradeyour car, house or accommodation.

If this fails, you may need to seek professional help beforelegal action is taken against you.

The secondoption to consider is sequestration.This iswhenyour liabilities exceed your assets. In other words, when yourdebt exceeds the money coming in.

When this is the case you are deemed insolvent. Once thishappens, the court can sell your assets (your home, car andpersonal effects) to repay all your liabilities and debt.

The third option is administration. This is a process inwhich you hand all your financial affairs to an administrator,who will consolidate all your debt, for a fee, and repay yourcredit providers on your behalf. The credit providers receivedebt repayment on your behalf.

There is nothing more powerful than educating yourselfand selecting the right option for you. Debt places an enor-mous amount of stress on the individual and affects every ar-ea of your life.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, an admitted advocatewith expertise in commercial law.

If the price goes up, itmust surely come down?There is one thing we all have incommon and that is that nomatter your race, we all have redblood and all, well most of us,have common sense.

I always admired people who,when on a podium or publicplatform, used plain simple logicsense and sentences to get theirmessage across to their audien-ces. Many inventions – whenthey are patented and thenplaced on shop shelves or beingadvertised – are seen by thegeneral public only to realise thatthe inventor used plain commonsense and then placed thiscommon sense theory into atangible product.

Why this simple lecture oncommon sense? What is the pointI want to make to myself and tothe consumer?

We all are consumers.We noticed on the shelves of

our shops and butchers howslowly and surely the meat price– our main source of protein –

went up to almost unaffordableheights, but we still in a smallway bought meat but in lesserquantities (and thank goodnessfor specials).

Now all of a sudden we havedrought and this lack of waterplays havoc on the farms becauseour animals, or rather thefarmers’ animals, are beingnegatively affected in feed andlife-giving water and this leads tostarvation and appeals for relieffunding from the government.

These funds cannot give waternor feed, only rain and waterdoes this, as nature intended.

Now the farmer has controlover the number of animals hesends to market and this control,common sense tells us, kept themonetary value up of meatproducts, because this strategykept prices high for us, thestruggling consumer.

Some of us, I might just add,contemplated starting free-rangeanimal farming in suburbia but

bylaws and neighbourly com-plaints threw brakes on the frontwheels of our farming ideas.

Here is where I lose the plotcompletely: the farmers, and wethank God for our farmers, arenow forced to slaughter theiranimals on an almost genocidalscale and now the markets,common sense tells us, is soflooded that the prices must comedown.

This is not the case with thisflood of meat – rather a herd inthe fridge than starving on thefield. And yet the prices still goup. To get rid of this meat onewould think, with the commonsense it deserves, the prices mustcome down.

Can someone with commonsense explain to us, the commonconsumer, how this meat flood isnot benefiting, for a change, theconsumer?

Claiming UIF is‘controlled chaos’On 4 December last year I went toregister to claim UIF benefits afterworking for one company for 16 years. Igot there at 06:00 and joined the queueoutside the locked offices, as they open at07:30, and then you have a very goodchance of being attended to on the sameday, as they turn everyone away at 15:30.

After many visits to the offices, by 25January my papers were all in order andall could be registered and accepted bythe UIF department. I was told on thatday by the consultant that in ten workingdays I would receive payment. As shehad requested my bank details to com-plete a form, which she kept, I was underthe impression that on 8 February theywould deposit the money into my ac-count.

At no given time did any one of theconsultants ever tell me I must come into sign first. On 11 February I phoned toquery the payment. I was told: “Yourmoney is available, but you did not comein to sign.” So when should I have goneto sign? How would I know to go in andsign? I was told I could go in the nextday (Friday) to sign, they would attend toit Monday and by Wednesday it would beavailable.

I am taken aback by the lack ofcommunication. The system is controlledchaos. If I did not query this, wherewould the money go? These are employedpeople at a government department thereto assist the unemployed.

PEOPLE'S POST | ATLANTIC SEABOARD | CITY EDITIONTuesday, 16 February 2016 ENTERTAINMENT 11MOUILLE POINT

Local producer draws in ‘rare find’LOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

It’s not unusual to hear of local artists beingsigned to international labels, but what

about the other way round?Mouille Point producer Helmut Meijer re-

cently teamed up with American Idols final-ist Cari Quoyeser (pronounced “Key-Hay-Zar”) to release her single “Fall of Rome” un-der his StoneBear & Mayor Records label.

Helmut, who was a co-founder of Mer-chant Records and has a string of Sama

awards behind his name, is well-known forhis work as composer and producer, but heis also a Hebrew scholar.

It was this interest that took him to Israelwhere he met Cari at the Abraham Hostelwhile the two were both on a sabbatical.

The “bubbly girl” whom he had got toknow briefly during their time at the hostellater bumped into him again and asked himto sit in on an open mic night at the hostel.

“My jaw was on the floor,” Helmut says.Cari was already a regular on the musicscene in Austen, Texas and had performedat the popular American SXSW festival. Sheplaced in the top 30 of the 11th AmericanIdols competition – no mean feat when youconsider that she was up against 110 000 oth-er singers.

Despite the less than ideal setting of theinformal open mic night, Cari “held herown”andHelmutwas sold, tellingher: “Thisis a complete rare find.”

Once back in South Africa, Helmut dis-cussed Cari’s talent with his business part-ners and they offered to record and releaseher self-written single if she got herself toSouth Africa at her own cost.

At home, Cari sings a brand of alternativeindie under the name Cari Q, but Helmut ex-plains they decided to give her new musicmore of a pop feel, switching to her fullname, to distinguish between her differentsounds. Another interesting point about thesong is that Helmut didn’t need to use autotune for this recording – something he saysis rare for the pop industry.

StoneBear&MayorRecordswill be releas-ing a second single for Cari in April, witha third one in the pipeline.

The boutique independent label currentlyworks with three other female artists: Nina,Renate Riedemann and Amira, as well as

with two of the label’s founders: Lukas deBeer and Helmut himself.

Helmut started the label with Lukas andDaniel Steenkamp to “stop the slavery to themarket”.

After 17 years of producing for other art-ists,Helmut says itwas time toput outmusic“we enjoy and believe in”.

With this in mind, Helmut will also belaunching his first proper solo release underthe name Calev soon.

While Helmut has put out singles and ex-perimental music in the past, his name ismore oftenassociatedwithhisworkas apro-ducer, particularly in the gospel industry.

This time round he is taking a very differ-ent approach and says listeners can expectmusic akin to the likes of Coldplay.

He hopes to introduce Calev and his bandmembers (Lukas, Sven Blumer and IwanKemp) aroundApril orMay, but fornowhe’sworking on singles for his other four artists.

“Fall of Rome” is already playing on SouthAfrican radio stations and is available fordownload on iTunes.

Cari will be back in Cape Town in May topromote her songs.V For more information about Cari visit the CariQuoye-serMusic page on Facebook. For more on StoneBear& Mayor Records visit www.stonebearmayor.com.

Music producer Helmut Meijer is working onhis new record label and solo project.

Cari Quoyeser from theUnited States has anew single with locallabel StoneBear &Mayor Records.

With everything from 17th century plays tohip-hop on the menu, Artscape’s pro-gramme for audience development and ed-ucation this year is set to bring together au-diences from all walks of life.

The programme kicked off in January,but there is still plenty to look forward toin the year ahead.

Artscape is currently paying tribute toone of the world’s greatest playwrights incelebration of the 400th anniversary of hisdeath with Shakespeare’s Othello beingperformed at the Maynardville open-airtheatre until Tuesday next week. It is alsothe 60th anniversary of Maynardville andthe 60th annual Shakespeare play per-formed there.

The rest of Artscape’s programme willtake audiences on a journey of discovery,highlighting humanity’s similarities anddifferences while cementing a love of thea-tre and fostering a new generation of thea-tre-goers.

The Western Cape Schools Festival ofArts and Creativity in March is just one ofthe events aimed at pupils. It seeks to ex-pose youngsters to professional theatre.

In partnership with the Cape Town JazzFestival, young musicians as well as thoseinterested in behind-the-scenes work willget a chance to showcase their talents.Young actors will be given an opportunityto do the same during the finals of the na-tional acting competition in May.

Pupils will also pay tribute to Shake-speare during the Shakespeare SchoolsFestival where children are encouraged topresent anabridgedversion of their favour-ite work.

The annual Nasheed competition forhigh school pupils in April turns the spot-light on Islam, particularly the Nasheedstyle of a capella singing.

Western Cape pupils will get a chance tosee their setwork books brought to life withproductions like Fiela se Kind, Krismis van

Map Jacobs and Amaza on stage in Apriland May.

This year’s audience development pro-ductions also celebrate local playwrightslike John Kani. His Nothing but the Truthand Missing will be staged from 5 to 15 May.

Hip-hop will get its day in June when thepopular dance production Cape Town’sMost Wanted returns to the Artscape Thea-tre, just before HemelBesem and Dutch art-ist Akwasi explore South Africa and theNetherland’s shared history and languagethrough the medium of hip-hop.

The Artscape Heritage Festival will ex-plore the country’s vibrant history in Sep-tember.

A series of workshops, programmes andforums will be held throughout the year tohelp young creatives write the next chap-ter.V For more information about Artscape and thisyear’s programme for audience development visitwww.artscape.co.za.

Artscape has ample plans for youth

Hiphop artist HemelBesem will perform atthe Artscape Theate in June. Here he iswith Babette Viljoen during a performancelast year.

Doctor Godenstein’s Manwill be on stage at theGalloway Theatre in thecity centre until Satur-day.

Written by Callum Til-bury and starring Amee-ra Conrad and WesselPretorius, the piece tellsthe story of Dr ArceusGodenstein, who lurksinside his gigantic cop-per spaceship where theunhinged scientist isbent on creating the bio-logically perfect man.

With his assistant (abutler named Butler),Godenstein’s plan is to immortalisehimself as the best and most greatestinventor in the history of the uni-

verse. But as his experi-ments fail, his frustra-tion mounts, and But-ler’s loyalty is put to thetest as he finds it harderto accept his master’sauthority and evenharder to cover up hisscandalous secret past.

Comically exploringthe politics of sex, gen-der and the label of“man”, Doctor Goden-stein’s Man is a sneaky,ridiculous parody ofgodly proportions.V Tickets for the show, whichruns every day from tomor-

row to Saturday, cost R120 or R90 for stu-dents. Visit www.waterfronttheatre-school.co.za/booknow.
