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.”

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 finished

their two-year training course.The Philippi police academy held a pass-

ing out parade of the trainees on Tuesday.Lieutenant-General Arno Lamoer, the

provincial 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 friend

who is one of new constables.“With more police members serving the

communities, 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 havetrained these youngmen and women so thatthey can be of benefit to the public. We needto work together to make our communitiessafer,” 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 thatthe safety of the people is in their hands. Thecommunity also needs to work with the po-lice so that we fight crime together,” shesays.

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 theyhave applied,” she says.

A drivers licence and a matric certificateis 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. “Thecourse includes theory and practical train-ingwhere theyare taught about thedifferentlaws and how to conduct themselves as po-lice officers. This is not a job but rather acalling and one needs determination anddedication to be part of this service.”

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 reallydirty and unsafe for people. Metrorail needsto come to the party and get their act togeth-er.”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 sub-station between 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 urgencyand 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 100 ametre,” 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 promis-

ing to clean and fence the area since lastyear.“They promised to do it in September

already. I hope they will stick to theirpromises this time. The residents havebeen complaining tome and it’s time theydo something about these concerns.”

THE International PeaceCollege ofSouth Africa (IPSA) has made his-tory by becoming the first Islamicinstitution in the country to be reg-istered as a higher education insti-tution.The facility in Rylands Estate re-

cently held a breakfast to mark theachievement.Shaykh Ighsaan Taliep, the prin-

cipal of the institution, says hehopes the college will producegreat leaders.“IPSA is committed to demon-

strate, through practice, teachingand the free exchange of ideas, the

centrality of Islam to themodern world. The legal,ethical and theologicallegacies that have beendistilled from the Qur’anand the teachings of theProphet (Peace Be UponHim) by the finest mindsin history beg to be con-textualised in the socio-economic and politicalchallenges of our time,”he saysDr Blade Nzimande,

the national minister ofHigher Education andTraining, was there tohand over the registra-tion certificate.“The merger between

Darul Arqam Islamic In-

stitute (DAII) and the Islamic Col-lege of South Africa (Icosa) to formIPSA could not have come at a bet-ter time. The department is step-ping-up its gear to finding solu-tions to the critical challenges fac-ing our education and trainingsystem,” he says.“This undertaking is consistent

with the vision of the department,which is to have a differentiatedand fully inclusive post-school sys-tem that allows all South Africansto access and succeed in the rele-vant education and training. I aminspired by the unity within theMuslim community as demon-strated through this undertak-ing.”The institution will be offering

a three-year Bachelors degree inIslamic Studies. Registration isstill open.The qualification covers all as-

pects of Islamic Legacy andmajorsin both Arabic and Sha’riah law.“IPSA has designed a Bachelors

programme that relies on variouspedagogical approaches, includingselective memorisation and criti-

cal analysis,” Taliep says.“Emphasis is placed on impor-

tant foundational texts, an in-depth training in critical methodo-logical issues, a firm foundation inthe Arabic language, knowledge ofthe most important Islamic scienc-

es and the tools of learning andmethodology. This programme isnow accredited by the Council ofHigher Education, as well as regis-tered by the South African Qualifi-cations Authority on the NationalQualifications Framework.”

EACHyear thousands of people ininformal settlements are affectedby fires.Countrywide about 5 000 people

were left homeless by shack firesin December and January.Now the country’s third largest

pharmaceutical firm, Cipla Med-pro, has a plan to transform infor-

mal settlements from a combusti-ble nightmare to a fire-resistantdream.The company launched Ajuga –

a project that will see fire-resist-ant structures and creches in-stalled in informal settlements. InFebruary the Cipla Foundationsponsored the first two Ajugastructures that replaced crechesin Du Noon.

These Ajuga unitsare apparently effec-tive fire-resistantstructures, as it ismade from patentedsteel and fire retard-ant panels whichhave been fire-testedto 1 000º. During themedia launch a mas-sive heap of woodwas set alight insidea unit under strictfire and rescue sur-veillance.One of the most as-

tonishing qualitiesof this fire-resistantmaterial is thatwhile the fire wasraging inside, onecould hardly feel anyheat through the

walls on the outside.The roof is also designed to “pop

open” and, says designer DavidGrier, by replacing creches withfire resistant structures, this initi-ative ensures that if there is a fireoutbreak, the most vulnerablepeople will be protected. “Withthis initiative,we canalso providechildrenwith a place of safety andimprove the conditions in whichthey are schooled,” he says.The house takes one day to as-

semble and is fitted with standardwindows and doors. Services,such as water and electricity, canbe installed.“Theproblem in informal settle-

ments is that so much corrugatediron is used. This is actually theworst material, because what itdoes is build heat when a firestarts. Eventually, whatever iscombustible in that unit just va-porises and a fireball blows out ofthis house. With the wind, it goesfrom shack to shack to shack.”The answer to overcome this

was found in a plant named theAjuga, which is fire-resistant.Careful and meticulous design

and testing eventually lead to theAjuga unit.It costs R50 000 to build.

HANOVER Park Community HealthCentre patients are insisting the healthdepartment come up with a solution todiscipline tablet collectors.Tablet collectors are peoplewho collect

prescription medicines for patients whocannot make it to the hospital them-selves.They get paid up to R20 per collection.

Residents say many of the tablet collec-tors come to the centre drunkandunruly.“They are uncontrollable,” says resi-

dent and community worker Gigi Rich-ards.When collecting someone else’s medi-

cation, the person needs to produce an af-fidavit stating who will use the pills,along with the collector and the patient’sID.According to Richards, people could

only collect tablets for two individuals.“Now the tablet collectors sit at the cen-

tre for thewhole daybecause theyget doz-ens of people’s medicine,” she says.

“The hospital is a shebeen becausethose people go there drunk. The problemis that the hospital is not doing anythingto monitor these tablet collectors.”Elizabeth Bantam, the chairperson of

theHanoverParkHealthForum, says shewas sworn at by one of the tablet collec-tors.“They are aggressive and there are just

too many of them. The hospital managerrefuses to work with the health forum toaddress the issue,” Bantam says.“The collection of tablets happens daily

and I can’t believe how unperturbed staffat the clinic are to just hand over theseprescriptions.“What if there is amixupwith themed-

ication? They could end up giving thewrong medicine to the wrong people,”she says.

Sithembiso Magubane, the districthealth services and programmes’ com-munications officer, however deniesthere are any problemswith tablet collec-tors at the centre.She confirmed an affidavit is needed to

receive the medication.“A copy of the patient’s ID as well as

their ID is checked at each visit andmustbe renewed every six months,” Magu-bane says.“If the community is aware of any

drunk people coming to collect medica-tion, they can report this to the facilitymanager’s office who will then attend tothe matter.”Magubane says the tablet collection

process is “very well controlled.”“The facilitymanager speaks to the col-

lectors if she has a concern or if there areany concerns raised. They arewell awareof the processes and the community is in-formed on reporting any discrepancies,”she says.Residents can file a formal complaint

by filling out a form which is availableat the facility.It can be deposited in the complaints

and suggestions box.The complaint will then be investigat-

ed and a detailed response will be sent tothe complainant.Magubane says all complaints are re-

garded as serious and recorded in a com-plaints register.Patients not satisfiedwith the response

on the matter can lodge their complaintat head office informing the departmentof their dissatisfaction.If after investigation a satisfactory out-

come has not been met, patients can for-ward complainants to the provincialmin-ister of health or the head of department.These cases will be referred to the In-

terim Independent Complaints AdvisoryCommittee.

THERE is some light at the end of 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 of afinancial 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 came fromthe 2013-2014 financial budget from otherprogrammes where funds were saved. “Thefunds are being used for organisations indire need,” he saysThe department allocates R800m annually

to at least 1 800 NGOs.Fritz says: “Wewill be taking a closer look

at the value organisations bring to the com-munity.”There is a challenge, he says, to establish

more organisations such as Rape Crisis andothers which assist abused women and chil-dren in rural areas.

UNHEALTHY habits are going to hit youhard, as the so-called sin taxes increaseagain.

Beer will costs 7c more for a can, a bottleof wine 15cmore and a 750ml bottle of spiritswill cost R3.60 more from 1 April. Motoristswill pay 23c more for a litre for petrol. For-getting your shopping bag at home will costyou 6c more for each plastic bag you buy.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.”

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 109km racein 1988,wherehewas joinedbyhis thenwife.“From a very young age my friends and

I loved to cycle. I grew up in Crawford andwould 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

(then) wife and I raced together. In 1998 myson, Nathaniel, who was a nine-year-oldthen, joined me and we rode together forthree years,” he says.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, butI will 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.

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

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

how you can join the movement visitoperationkhanyisa.co.za, like facebook.com/Operation.Khanyisa, follow twitter.com/@Op_Khanyisa or e-mail: [email protected]

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.

PEOPLE'S POST | LANSDOWNETuesday, 5 March 2013 SPORT 15METROPOLITAN CUP: THREE WEEKS TO KICK-OFF

Race for Premier Cup hots upLIAM MOSES

A HOST of southern suburbs footballteams will do battle for the title of Met-ropolitan Premier Cup Champions

when the 25th edition of the tournamentkicks off later this month.A total of 32 teams will take to the fields

of Erica Park in Belhar from Wednesday 27March andMonday 1 April, and no less than10 of those sides hail from the southern sub-urbs.Included on the list are National First Di-

vision (NFD) sides Milano United and San-tos, SecondDivision teamsRCAthletico andOld Mutual Academy, reigning Coca-ColaCup champions Hanover Park FC and hostteam Bayhill United.The tournament has grown into a proving

ground for the Cape’s young footballers andtournament director PJ Williams believesthe current crop could emulate the likes ofBenni McCarthy and Thulani Serero.“Many players have been spotted here,

with professional clubs hunting players tosign them,” says Williams.“It is thanks to Metropolitan’s long term

support and their vision of developmentthrough youth football that more and moreplayers, referees and officials are embark-ing on football as a career.”However, the young footballers who par-

ticipate will not only be playing for the pros-pect of the professional career, but also forthe substantial cash prizes.The winning teamwill take home R35 000,

while the runners up will claim R20 000 andthe losing semi-finalists will win R10 000each.

Several other cash prizes are up for grabsfor the top performing individuals andteams of the tournament.In celebration of the tournament’s 25th an-

niversary some of the former professionalswho donned their skills in the tournamentover the yearswill return to face off in a “leg-end’s game”, which will be played as a cur-

tain-raiser to the final.Phillip Matlakala, retail chief executive

for Metropolitan, congratulated the tourna-ment’s organising committee on milestoneachievement.“We are extremely pleased to have sup-

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

is a competition, whichwill see twowinnersattend the English FA Cup final in Londonlater this year.The tournament was launched at the V&A

Waterfront on Thursday 28 February, withthe coaches and captains of all the teamspar-ticipating in attendance.V GROUP A: Chippa United, Transnet School of Excel-lence, RC Athletico and Bothasig FC.

Annual walk a success – againA LOUD bang from the starting pistol andthey were off – 20 000 people walkingthrough the streets of Green Point and SeaPoint in the annual Sunshine D Polar IceCream 10km Big Walk.The walk, of which People’s Post was the

printmedia sponsor, has grown to be a high-light on the Cape Town sports calendar andneither the early start nor the rising temper-ature kept walkers from lining up en masseat Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.Elias Parker, convenor of the executive

committee for the walk organisers, thankedall the walkers for their support of the eventand the charitieswhichwill benefit from theproceeds.

“The organisers really believes that thecommunity has taken ownership of thisevent and we are privileged to host thisevent every year, as well as being able to beof service to our people,” says Parker.“They are the true inspirational force be-

hind this event. They have made this aniconic event. We do the preparation workand we find satisfaction in that, but thisevent would not be successful if not for thesupport. Thousands of people have walkedin the last few years so they have escalated

this event to the point where it is recognisedas the third biggest walking event in CapeTown.”This year the Red Cross Children’s Hospi-

tal Trust and Islamic Library will again bethe beneficiaries of the money raised by thewalkers.Since the inaugural event in 2000 over

R1.35m has been raised for the HospitalTrust and been used to upgrade and main-tain the hospital’s facilities, to improve lifefor patients.

Last year alone R150 000was raised for thehospital, and substantial sums have alsobeen donated to the Islamic Library, theLeague of the Friends of the Blind and Giftof the Givers.Any funds donated to the Hospital Fund

this year will be used for the constructionof a new radiology department, which is ex-pected to cost over R40m.This year, walkers were also addressed by

Fikile Mbalula, the national Minister ofSport and Recreation. All finishers receiveda medal and cash prizes were awarded at alucky draw after the race. The main prizewas two airline tickets to Dubai and $500spending money.

WP Softball still out of tourney, says letterLIAM MOSES

THE interim chairperson of SoftballSouth Africa (SSA) has denied anyknowledge of players or officials from

the Western Province Softball Federation(WPSF) taking part in the National Provin-cial Championship this month.At a meeting in February, WPSF decided

against participating in the tournament.Later the same month a written instruc-

tionwas issued to players and officials to notparticipate in the tournament.A letter addressed to the general council

said “it (was) reported it (was) strongly ru-moured ... that technical officials will be do-

ing duty at NPC 2013 and an invitation teamfrom WPSF is being selected” for participa-tion.Basil Peters, SSA’s interim chairman,

could neither confirmnor deny the rumourscirculating in local softball circles.“I received the letter from WPSF saying

they are not going to participate in the Na-tional Provincial Championship (NPC),” hesays. “I received no other details about peo-ple wanting to send an invitational team.”The first letter states “players, technical

officials, members of the sub-committees”should not participate in the tournament.“WPSF has taken an insular stance re-

garding participation at the upcoming NPC

to enable the Federation to rather concen-trate on getting its house in order,” it said.“It is our understanding that Sascoc’s

mandate to SSA is that it should urgently getits house in order as well. Our provincewill,therefore, not participate at the 2013 NPC.”In the latest letter, the union warned its

affiliates that anyone who did participate inthe NPC would be subject to a disciplinaryenquiry.It reads: “We trust this is only a rumour

but, if it becomes a reality, kindly inform allyour membership that such deviance of thedecision taken at the chairperson’s meetingon Tuesday 5 Februarywill be dealt with viathe protest misconduct enquiry process.”

Denise Paulsen, chairperson of WPSF, re-fused to comment on the letter, the rumoursor the union’s decision not to participate inthe NPC.Peters refused to make any further com-

ments and sayshehasbeen instructedby theSouth African Sports Confederation and Ol-ympic Committee (Sascoc) not to talk to themedia asSSA is currentlyunder administra-tion.“Sascoc has given us a directive that the

sport must carry on as it is. There’s nobodybesides the interim committee running thesport. I have been given a directive to referit to Sascoc if there are any further requestsfor details.”
