Call for clampdownCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Management of the SteenbergPolice Station, stretched re-sources and raging gang

wars were highlighted at a recentpublic meeting as angry residentsaired their views on police mat-ters.

The meeting was held by the De-partment of Community Safety(Docs) and focusedonpolicingmat-ters affecting the Wynberg Cluster,which includes Steenberg, GrassyPark, Kirstenhof, Wynberg and Di-ep River police stations.

In his presentation, Wynbergcluster commander Brigadier Aar-on Mlenga said gang wars and rob-beries are of the main issues affect-ing the Steenberg precinct.

Mlenga said contact-relatedcrimes in Steenberg increased by9.5%.

“Our biggest problem is theshootings, especially in LavenderHill at the moment. We had an in-crease in contact-related crimeswhich includes shooting and mur-ders,” he said.

Mlenga further explained the im-pact of robberies and identifiedMilitary Road, Retreat station,Heathfield station and the avenuesas the hotspots.

The police presentation also re-veals a shocking increase in crimelevels in the precinct and illustrat-ed that shoplifting had increasedby 700%, and fraud by 83.3%.

During the question and answersession residents and stakeholdersfrom the five clusters were giventhe opportunity to air their con-cerns and suggestions to police.

SteenbergCommunityPolice Fo-

rum (CPF) chairperson KevinSouthgate questioned the serious-ness of tackling the issues of crimein the area.

“The reports that has beenshown here today shows nothingnew. Every year it’s the same. Myquestion is what will we do tochange these patterns?” Southgatequestioned.

He pointed out that variousstakeholders in Lavender Hill em-

barked on a programme with Docslast year, but said “nothing hascome of it”.

“We did extensive workshoptraining during 2013 and came upwith a plan of action on how totackle gang violence in the area.However that programme died aquiet death,” he said.

In recent weeks, Lavender Hillhas been caught in the crossfire be-tween the Americans and Junky

Funky Kids. Police have reportedseveral murder and attemptedmurder cases and claim the shoot-ings are a result of a raging drugturf war.

Southgate questioned how theongoing issue would be tackled asit “kept cropping up”.

“We cannot have gang violenceflare up and then all of a suddenDocs is back on the scene,” he said.

In his response, provincial min-

ister for Community Safety DanPlato said police needed to clampown on illegal firearms.

“Our provincial murder rate isincreasing due to these illegal fire-arms on our streets. Even youngchildren are being used as hitmennowadays. Our parents also needto take responsibility,” he pointedout.

He explained stations in the clus-ter were under-resourced by 37%and in the province there was astaggering 85% shortfall.

“Figures provided to my officeshow that we still have very hardwork to do, together. On average,there are between 45 and 55 mur-ders occurring in the province aweekandabout 95 rapes are report-ed a week,” Plato said.

During the meeting, Docs offi-cials collected data about policingmatters using an electronic sur-vey.

According to the preliminary re-sults, a staggering 62.7% of attend-ees reported that they had not seenpolice patrol in their areas in thepreceding week.

In addition, 79.3% think thereare not enough police resources atthe five stations.

According to the results, nearlyhalf of those present said resourceswere not effectively utilised.

Substance abuse, unemploy-ment and poor parenting were vot-ed as the top contributors to crime,while substance abuse, the needfor money and perceptions aboutthe justice system were voted asthe main motivators for crime.

Plato said the information fromthe survey would be collated intoa report to be submitted to the na-tional police department.

Drives for new metered taxi planNICOLE MCCAIN

@nikcymccain

Putting the brakes on illegal meteredtaxis, high fares and poor services arethe aims of a new strategy by council

to regulate the metered taxi industry.A new bylaw is being developed to bring

significant changes to metered taxis’ pick-up conditions and also set minimum servicestandards.The bylawwill also govern electronic pay-

ments with debit or credit cards, and e-hail-ing – the use of an e-hailing application tobook ametered taxi and other modes of pub-lic transport such as charter and touristservices, says City of Cape Town MayoralCommitteemember forTransportBrettHer-ron.“The moratorium on the issuing of new

operating licences for the metered taxi in-dustry will be lifted on Monday 1 Decemberand all new applications will be dealt within terms of the new strategy. This transitionwill not happen overnight but over a periodof three years to enable the industry and theCity to adapt accordingly,” he says.Illegal operators will be provided with a

window period to legalise their operationsby applying for an operating licence as abase operator, Herron says.The City is aiming to increase the number

of metered taxis on the road, Sport Taxi gen-eral manager Ayub Baker believes, throughlegalising current illegal operators.“The impact on the industry will be more

taxis on the road and a smaller slice of analready competitive pie. More taxis areneeded during peak times but what happensin the winter months when things slowdown considerably?” he queries.“Between car rental companies’ point to

point services and the take-me-home servic-es, we already face significant competition.TheCity has not indicatedwhether theywillput a limit on the number of operating li-cences they would be approving.”A maximum fare per kilometre will be

specified, with a minimum charge for shortdistances and a waiting time charge in thenew bylaw. Flat fares will be introduced fortrips from the airport to main destinationsin the city and approved rates will be dis-played on the vehicle and sealed in the me-

ter, Herron explains.Marine Taxi Cabs spokesperson Fiona

Herman says research needs to be carriedout before the bylaw is implemented.“Before setting fares, it would be advisa-

ble to call on qualified engineers to discussthe operational costs of a vehicle and thenadd the cost of the infrastructure of runningametered taxi company alongwith the oper-ational costs,” she says.“In order for all of us to boost Cape Town’s

tourism industry, we have no choice but to

continuously upgrade our fleet. This costsmoney which should be recovered by ourfares, but that may not be possible if faresare regulated in such a way as to prohibitgrowth.”Baker says fare regulations are needed.“It will result in the public better under-

standing the industry by making it simplerto use and understand. The view that tariffsare high is unfounded, given that rates perkilometre have only increased by R2 in thelast 10 years,” he says.Taxis will have to be replaced after eight

years according to the new bylaw and opera-tors will be incentivised to provide wheel-chair-accessible taxis. Metered taxis will al-so no longer be constrained by a pick-up ra-dius, but allowed to pick up and drop offpassengers anywhere in the city, Herronsays.This will enable taxi operators to provide

a service in any areawhere a demand arises,Baker explains. “This will potentially resultin the development of newmetered taximar-kets,” he says.It is envisaged that the necessary policies

and bylawswill be developed during the cur-rent financial year, that the new fare struc-ture will be piloted in 2015/16, and that theother changes will follow thereafter.“The City is convinced that these new

terms will allow the metered taxi industryto flourish and to run their businesses morecost effectively. We want to grow the indus-try with compliant operators who in turnwill play their part in creatingmore jobs andimproving their service to residents and vis-itors,” Herron says.But Baker counters: “The City wanting to

change the way metered taxis operate iswishful thinking, as they don’t have a clueon how to operate a metered taxi fleet.”

Implant boostMore than 15 000 Implanon devices havebeen distributed to facilities across CapeTown.And now the stock is being boosted follow-

ing an increase in the demand.Since the introduction of the contracep-

tive in February, City Health has trainednearly 200 staff on the insertion technique.The device provides contraception for

women for three years after insertion. Thedevice is a rod that is insertedunder the skinwith a pre-loaded applicator. A trained prac-titioner makes a small incision in the upperarm to insert it. It stays there, releasing aprogesterone-like hormone for up to threeyears to prevent pregnancy, says MayoralCommittee member for Health BenedictaVan Minnen.“This method of contraception differs

from the more established methods in thatwomen do not have to remember to take apill every day or return for an injection eve-ry few months. It gives them more controlover their health, well-being and reproduc-tive choices, especiallywomen forwhomun-planned pregnancy is undesirable or ahealth risk,” she says.“However, it is important to note that

while the device protects against pregnancy,like other contraceptive methods, womenmust still take the necessary precautions toprevent sexually transmitted infections.”The device is free to clients at public

health facilities. Side effects are rare andgenerallymild, with only a small percentageof women requiring removal of the device.“For women who wish to conceive, fertili-

ty is restored within two weeks after the re-moval of the device,” Van Minnen says.Between February and September there

has been an increase in requests for the Im-planon, as shown in the number of implantscompleted at clinics across the metropole.Implanon has proven most popular in the

Southern sub-district with 3 320 implantsdone and Tygerberg sub-district with 2 241,followed by Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelit-sha with just over 2 000 devices.Only 0.5% of the devices were subsequent-

ly removed. “We would like to see Implanonbecome as mainstream as other methods ofcontraception, but I do want to caution thatthe device would not be suited to womenwith certain medical conditions or who areon certain medications,” she says.

RETREAT

Putters not playing ballCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Fed-up with ball games beingplayed at Magda Road Park,Retreat residents have made a

call for it to be fenced.They have also requested soccer

players and golf putters be bannedfrom the field.One resident, who asks not to be

named, says she has been seekingsolutions from different stakehold-ers.“When these players come to the

field it is very disruptive. Theyplayhere at all hours of the dayandit’s not fair towards residents,” shesays.Due to the noise generated from

soccer training in the afternoon, aSunday afternoon nap is impossi-ble.“Many people like to take a nap

on a Sunday afternoon and havesome peace and quiet from thebusy week, but these players in-vade the field from early afternoonand you then cannot sleep,” sheadds.The resident has approached

ward councillor Jan Burger for so-lutions.Burger says they are working on

a plan to deal with noisy park us-ers.The resident explains the sig-

nage at the park is inadequate as“it only has in small print that noball games are allowed”.She was not happy with this.

She also says rocks placed on theadjacent field byCity of Cape Townofficials have failed to deter soccerplayers.“Because the field is so big, they

can play around these rocks. Thesemeasures do not deter them; theykeep on coming back week afterweek.”After replacing two windows

whichwere hit by a soccer and golfball, the resident has her own sug-gestions.“I have suggested they plant a

garden on the field that I wouldlook after myself. If a garden isthere it will prove difficult tomovearound it without destroying it,”she adds.Burger confirms therehave been

several complaints about ballgames in the park and says thematter has been escalated.He explains they are looking at

various options to rid the field ofplayers who either practise formalball games or disregard the restric-tion thereof.“Suggestions to have the park

fenced are not being entertained atthe moment,” Burger says.“The field is relatively large and

to have it enclosed will cost toomuch money. This is money we donot have at the moment.”Burger believes a garden is a bad

idea and says vegetation could at-tract vagrants.According to another Magda

Road resident, the ball games arenot a nuisance.

The woman, who asks not to beidentified, says the sport activitiesare a better option as players are“ not out doingwrong things on thefield”.She says although the players do

not cause a nuisance, they should

consider the residents. “It is unfairwhen residents have to replacewindows due to their negligence.”The first resident says she was

pleasantly surprised to see nogames on the field over the last twoweeks.

“I hope this remains the case un-til Burger gets back to us regardingthe field. Many residents havechased these players off the fieldbut they are met with attitude.”V To report illegal matches and ball games,call Metro Police on (021) 596 1999.

TRAUMA CENTRE

Here’s hopeto healthe brokenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin LutherKing, the Dalai Lama and NelsonMandela have all advocated for a vio-

lence-free society.Now a Cape Town based organisation is

taking up thismantle, providing services tovictims of violence and educating commu-nities.The Trauma Centre in Zonnebloem pro-

vides violence prevention and communitytrauma psychosocial services to those af-fected by violence, explains director Valdivan Reenen-Le Roux.“Violence prevention programmes focus

on changing people’s mindsets about andadvocating for policy reform that will bringabout safer communities.“Webelieve that a non-violent society can

only come about when each person practis-es non-violent ideals and values,” she says.

Violent societyAccording to Health24.com, trauma in

SouthAfrica is commonowing to high ratesof violent crimes, including physical andsexual assault, hijacking and domestic vio-lence.Eight out of 100 individuals will develop

Post Traumatic Street Disorder (PTSD) atsome time in their lives.This is more prevalent in women, who

aremore than twice as likely asmen tohavethe disorder.Treating PTSD is vital to preventing its

debilitating effects, says South African De-pression and Anxiety Group (Sadag)spokesperson Cassey Chamber.“If left untreatedPTSDcan lead to depres-

sion, anxiety or panic disorders. It can alsolead to behaviour such as wanting to hurtoneself, alcohol and drug abuse, tiredness,stomach pains, diarrhoea, eating disorders,breathing problems or asthma, musclecramps, back aches, sleeping problems andheart problems,” she says.In the first half of this year, the Trauma

Centre providedover 4 000 peoplewith trau-ma counselling services, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.This number is expected to exceed 6 000

by the year end.

Treating traumaWhile some are able to recover from a

trauma as a consequence of violence with-out psychological services, there are manyothers that need support to prevent trau-matic responses from affecting their livesnegatively, Van Reenen-Le Roux explains.“Psychological services support people to

process their traumatic responses in an ap-propriate way, particularly when they feelisolated and vulnerable.“These services help people to come to

terms with the trauma and its impact ontheir lives so that they are able to functionadequately at work, school, with their fami-ly and in the community. Unresolved trau-ma can have a devastating effect on peopleand their families’ lives,” she says.Any person, family or group that has ex-

perienced trauma as a consequence of vio-lence can access the centre’s services, VanReenen-Le Roux says.A number of types of violence are ad-

dressed, such as suicide, domestic violence,sexual offences, armed robberies, physicalassault, hijacking, traumatic bereavement,gang violence, torture and xenophobia.“We also provide trauma debriefing serv-

ices for businesses which have experiencedan armed robbery, hijacking or othercrime-related incident.“Frontline workers such as educators,

police officers, social workers and commu-nity leaders can access self-care pro-grammes to combat various trauma as a

consequence of exposure to violence on adaily basis,” she says.Refugees and asylum seekers, farmwork-

ers, farming communities, women and chil-dren, torture survivors and communityworkers are all given priority care, VanReenen-Le Roux says.“People can call, walk in or be referred

for counselling services.”

Healing processBetty* was in a violent relationship for

seven years, during which physical abusewas a daily experience for her and four ofher children. The children were so badlyabused that they had to be removed by a so-cial worker, Betty says.“Heused to beatmebadly.One day I came

home from work and my children were be-ing taken away. I felt like the earth couldopen up and swallow me. I had such a holein my heart and fell into depression,” shesays.Leaving her partner and the city she was

living in was the only way she could get herchildren back, Betty explains.“I had to choose between my job or my

children,” she says.Since moving, Betty has accessed weekly

counselling.“This has really helped. It’s not easy and

the trauma doesn’t just go away,” she says.Depressive episodes still often sneak up

on her.“Something triggers it and everything

just comes flooding back,” she says.“But in counselling, you can speak about

your true feelings. When you’re done witha session, you feel somuchbetter. I’mbegin-ning to heal.”

Breaking the cycleBreaking the cycle of violence is also an

important part of their work, Van Reenen-Le Roux says.More than 7 000 people received trauma-

psycho education last year.“Our biggest challenge is when violence

has become normalised and an accepted so-lution to all life’s challenges. It is difficultto change mindsets that are deeply en-trenched in supporting violent means.“Swearingmay not be viewed as a violent

act even though it is abusive and hurtfuland bullying affects so many schools, withsome parents instructing their children totake revenge by fighting back when theyare bullied,” she says.The centre runs 15 school-based trauma

counselling services – in Elsies River,Manenberg, Belhar and Athlone – and com-munity trauma counselling clinics inManenberg, Belhar, the West Coast, Khay-elitsha and Woodstock.However, funding their work remains a

challenge, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.“Most funders prefer to fund projects

where there are tangible outcomes. Withtrauma counselling, it is difficult to meas-ure the impact of our work.“Professional, registered staff who are

competent and experienced to deal with theeffects of violence on an individual, familyor community’s level of psychological well-being are costly but worth the investment.“Violence is one of the prominent causes

of death and is a public health challenge glo-bally yet victim redress is often not a priori-ty,” she says.* Betty is an assumed name.

V The Trauma Centre has been selected as the charitybeneficiary of the People’s Post/TygerBurger HotSummer Groove concert which takes place at Grand-West on Saturday 6 December. Tickets to the event– which features performances by, among others,Alistair Izobell, Emo and Loukmaan Adams, Blackbyrdand Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd – cost R130 and R5 ofeach ticket sold will go to the organisation. As an add-ed bonus, we will be giving away a car at the show.Tickets are available at Computicket.

BIN THEFT

Dirty crooks eyedA new refuse bin tagging system could

save millions in rates.The City of Cape Town is currently

fitting all 24F wheelie bins with electronictags tohelpmonitor servicedeliveryandre-cover stolen infrastructure.The initiative to fit wheelie bins with

identification tagswas done to ensuremoreefficient service provision and revenue ac-curacy.The tags will allow the City to monitor

each bin serviced and to identify bins thatare lost, stolen or illegally serviced withoutbeing City property.Mayoral Committee member for Utility

Services Ernest Sonnenberg says the Cityservices in excess of 800 000 wheelie binseach week and this service is provided bymeans of personnel.Trucks and wheelie bins are serviced at

a cost of almost R1bn a year.In rendering the service, virtually every

public street in the entire municipal areais serviced each week.“The tagging of bins will allow for the

service of each individual bin to be moni-tored. This will provide the means to im-

prove operational efficiency and effective-ness inmanaging labour, vehicles and serv-ices because the date, time, and location ofeach bin lifted will be recorded,” he says.The project will be managed by an exter-

nal service provider, namely RAMM Tech-nologies.“RAMM Technologies has been appoint-

ed by the solid waste management depart-ment’s collections and drop-offs branch toperform the refuse bin identification exer-cise. It will see numerous crews, consistingofRAMMcontracted staff,moving through-out the city in various suburbs over thenext couple of months.”These crews will be tagging each individ-

ual refuse bin in order to compile a geo-da-tabase of all the City’s mobile refuse bins.For the public to easily identify these

crews, RAMM crew members will be re-quired to carry an identification card con-taining the City of Cape Town logo, photo-graph of the crewmember’s face, member’ssurname, first name/s aswell as RAMMop-erations’ telephone number.Contact RAMM Technologies on

086 111 7266 or the City on (021) 444 7127.

Giving power to the peopleCapetonians can look forward to a morereliable and resilient power distributionnetwork thanks to an upgrade of coun-cil’s software system.Its Electricity Services Department is

in the process of improving and expand-ing the system to restore power quickly,safely and efficiently during outages.The upgrade includes the implementa-

tion of an outage management systemwhich ensures reduced time frames forrepairs, better workflow management,and improved outage communication.International software supplier Ven-

tyx will provide the system, which willhave theability to sendSMSes to custom-ers before they are impacted by a pre-planned outage – provided their detailsare up to date.It can also identifymeter numbers and

locations without having to capture thedata, and relate this to a customer’s

name and address on the customer infor-mation system. It will also be able to pre-dict the restoration time and measurethe period fromwhen a fault occurred torestoration time for quality control pur-poses.Furthermore, it has the ability to dis-

seminate real-time outage status up-dates.“The department operates in a chal-

lenging environment of large-scale ur-banisation and faces massive growth,which increases the demand on infra-structure,” says Mayoral Committeemember for Utility Services Ernest Son-nenberg.“The software implementation will

help us to address challenges throughour energy-saving and demand manage-ment programmes, of which the Ventyxintegrated network control system is akey component.”

HILLVIEW

Toilet spat causes a stinkCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Hillview informal settlement residentsare once again embroiled ina spat overdirty toilets.

This, they claim, is due to the contract forthe Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP) workers expiring in October.Since then, they say, the toilets have not

been cleaned and pose a health risk to thecommunity.However, ward councillor Shaun August

says workers were “chased away by resi-dents”.The issue was first aired in September as

angry residents raised their concerns aboutthe dirty toilets (“Settlement’s toilet trou-bles”, People’s Post, 28 September).EPWPworkerswere then employed by the

City of Cape Town to commence the clean-ing.Community worker Randall Fortune says

they are “pulling at the short end becausethey are treated like less than nothing”.He says they live in undesirable condi-

tions and the unhygienic toilets are addingto the problem.“We have to sit with this issue as a recur-

ring problem and it is not fair,” he says.Fortune says many residents were upset

as none of the jobs were given to Hillviewinformal settlement residents.August claims the workers who were ap-

pointed during September were chasedaway by the community. “The janitors whostarted in September were chased away bythe community as they came from the neigh-bouring formal area and the communitywasnot prepared to accept them,” he says.Fortune denies this and says his colleague

spoke to onewoman fromaneighbouring ar-

ea who said she was appointed to clean thetoilets.“He told her this could not be true as only

people from the area are allowed to clean thetoilets and she was from a neighbouringcommunity. She then left without cleaningthe toilets,” he says.August says these workers were then giv-

en alternative EPWP opportunities.Fortune also says despite several attempts

to obtain feedback fromAugust this was notpossible as, he claims, the councillorwasnotat the office.“We need to get answers about what is

happening with regard to the maintenanceof these toilets and he is the only one whocan provide us with these answers yet he isnever available,” Fortune says.He met with a health inspector on

Wednesday 29 October but no results areknown yet.“We wanted to know from the councillor

what happens from here on out and to getfeedback since the health inspector visitedthe site. But these calls are unsuccessful.”Fortune says new contracts were to be

signed which would expire during Decem-ber this year, but nothing has yet come ofthis.“Our people need answers.We cannot con-

tinue living like this but August refuses tohelp us with solutions. You get to his officesand his doors are always locked or he is nev-er available,” he adds.“We have even suggested to do the clean-

ing ourselves on a voluntary basis but weneed the equipment,” he continues.August says the City’s water and sanita-

tion department is not responsible for sourc-ing workers.He says the names of individuals are ob-

tained from the South Peninsula Subcouncil

jobseekers database.“The way the process works is that the de-

partment advises the subcouncil they needa certain number of janitors and for whenthey are needed. They are then providedwith the janitors by the subcouncil.”August could not confirm when or wheth-

er new staff would be appointed to clean thecommunal toilets.“There appears to have been differing in-

formation around the subcouncil database.The issue is currently receiving attentionand it is hoped that a resolutionwill be foundin the next few days,” he says.He further explains the maintenance of

the full flush toilets is a voluntary pro-

gramme initiated by the City during 2012.“The programme runs in conjunction

with the community doing their part to en-sure toilets are not vandalised, illegal ob-jects are not put into the system and that thetoilet is left in a suitable state after it hasbeen used.”August has encouraged residents to regis-

ter on the subcouncil database so new jani-tors can be sourced.V To report broken toilets, owned by the City of CapeTown, call 0860 103 089 (water option), or SMS31373.V To register with the database take a certified copyof your ID and any qualifications to the subcouncil of-fice in Recreation Road, Fish Hoek.

GROOTE SCHUUR

Preemies get a fighting chanceNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A baby’s first smile, first stepor first word is amemory nomother will forget.

These memories will howeverneverbemade for oneout of sevenof the million mothers who givebirth prematurely.But theNewborns Groote Schu-

ur Trust is working tirelessly tochange these heartbreaking sta-tistics.The trust supports theNeonatal

Unit at Groote Schuur Hospitalwith funds to improve survivalrates amongst premature, lowbirth weight and critically ill ba-bies, trust spokesperson JulieGibson says.The neonatal unit cares for

3 200 of some of the smallest andsickest babies in the WesternCape each year.Many of these children weigh

less than a bag of sugar, withsome only the weight of a block ofmargarine.Shiyaam Valentine’s son

Yaqeen weighed only 970g whenhe was born last year.With underdeveloped lungs, he

lost another 200g at only a fewdays old. “I was so scared when Isaw my son,” Valentine says.“I didn’t even know if I should

hold him. I was just amazed thathe was alive as he was such asmall baby. It was very emotion-

al.”The unit and trust became Val-

entine’s second family as theynursed her son to health.

“They were teaching me thingslike how to feed and carry myson,” she says.Now, a year on, he is growing

stronger each day.“He’s stubborn,” she says,

laughing.“He shouts to get his own way.

Hehas started standingand is try-ing to walk.”But not every story ends like

Valentine’s.Over 200mothers leave the unit

without their babies every year.This is what the trust aims to

prevent by equipping the unitwith new incubators and otherequipment, Gibson says.“One of the biggest problems

facing our unit is that it is onlya quarter of the size it should befor the number of babies lookedafter annually. This means it isconstantly running over capaci-ty. Overcrowding greatly increas-es the risk of infection and othercomplications for our tiny pa-tients,” she says.The unit has been assigned

more space by the hospital whichwill more than double the size ofthe ward.However, funds are needed to

aid the expansion, Gibson says.To assist in fundraising, the

trust is holding a seven hour knit-a-thon on World Preemies Day,observed on Monday 17 Novem-ber.Knitters are invited to show off

their skills by creating beaniesfor the babies or donating to-wards the trust.V The knit-a-thon will take place atGroote Schuur Hospital from 07:00 to14:00. Dress in purple for preemies. Con-tact Julie Gibson at (021) 404 6023 orenquiries@newborns.org.za.

Training key for Community ChestCommunity Chest has been on a mission toadd capacity to community activists.To this end, a total of 529 staff from 233

local NPOs were awarded certificates fromCommunity Chest for passing the rigorouscapacity building training they had under-gone in 11 different aspects of their opera-tions.The prestigious graduation ceremony

took place on Wednesday 29 October.According to a statement, since the mid-

1990s Community Chest has been fosteringorganisational development by offering ca-pacity building training courses to NGOslooking to establish themselves.Community Chest head of due diligence

Crystelle Arends says after 1994, with theadvent of democracy, many black NGOsstruggled to access funding. “Many of theorganisations applying for funding throughCommunityChest back thenwerenon-com-pliant, because theydidn’t fulfil the legal re-quirements and didn’t know how to accesssubsidies from government or even fill outthe relevant forms,” she says.Community Chest staff designed training

modules and courses they could offer to as-sist NGOs with regulations, governance,budgeting and general administration.Community Chest financial officer Susan

Thevar says the training programme wasan initiative intended to shift communities

froma culture of poverty to prosperity. “Weneeded to examine howwehad internalisedthe culture of poverty by seeking to ‘fix’ thepoor and underprivileged communities bysimply handing out grants,” she explains.Community Chest now offers 10 capacity

building training courses.The core training course is Basics in Or-

ganisational Development for NGOs andNPOs that takes them through governance,requirements, board structures, budgetingand auditing up to a point where they fulfilthe compliance requirements.Thevar says: “In this way, we not only

provide grants, but we have equipped thecommunity organisations with the under-standing of how best to administer thatgrant and the knowledge to improve theirprogrammes.”Yumna Martin, Community Chest head

of training, says funding from internation-al donorMott Foundationhas enabledCom-munity Chest to greatly improve and ex-pand its capacity building training forNGOs.Thedemand for the training, however, re-

mains enormous. “A lot of people are al-ready on waiting lists for next year’s cours-es,” Martin says.Community Chest chief executive officer

Lorenzo Davids says he is proud of the im-pact of the capacity training.

CRIME

‘Markings’ spark concernNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Painted letters, piles of stones, softdrinkcansandplastic bags – these arejust some of the markings social me-

dia “alerts” have warned residents couldmean a house is being targeted by crimi-nals.Facebook postings have reported that

everything from empty chips packets toshoes – as well as how they are positioned– can indicate if the homeowner is armed,if the occupants are home and where thereare escape routes.But police say there is no evidence that

these markings are used by criminals.

Provincial police spokesperson Lieuten-ant Colonel Andrè Traut says: “Althoughcriminals are very creative with theirmodus operandi, there is no evidence tosupport the allegation that homes aremarked in some way or another so that aburglary can be perpetrated.”This is backedupby security companies.ADT Security managing director Rob

Dale says security guardshavenot encoun-tered this technique.Sniper Security’s Ridwaan Matthews

says the alerts are based on myth.“I’ve been in the industry for 18 years

and have not experienced criminals usingmarkers. The majority of crime is oppor-tunistic – a criminal seeing an open win-

dow and a flatscreen TV and going for it,”he says.“Planning tends to only take place when

criminals are targeting a business orpremises with high value items and thenthe criminals will carry out reconnais-sance,” he says.Matthews urges residents to install pre-

ventative security measures.This, he points out, includes alarms and

motion sensors as well as remaining vigi-lant.There are several practical precautions

residents can implement to enhance theirperimeter security, Dale adds.“These include keeping trees and shrub-

bery in the garden neatly trimmed to avoid

providing a hiding place for intruders,” heexplains.Dale says it is also important to ensure

that the garden and perimeter are suffi-ciently lit,” he says.Residents should report any suspicious

activities, person or vehicle immediately.“It is important that communities and

security role players – including communi-ty safety groups, private security compa-nies and the police – continue to developand maintain good working relationshipsas these do bolster crime prevention ef-forts,” he says.V Have you seen these “markers”?

Have your say on plans to streamline council policiesIn an effort to reduce red tape and createmore policy certainty, the City of CapeTown has identified additional local areaplanning policies to consider for withdraw-al.A total of 58 outdated or obsolete planning

policies have been identified, adding to thealready 300 policies which have been with-drawn since 2012.According to a statement by council, its

landuse and spatial planningdecision-mak-ing processes are guided by “relevant andmodern planning policies”, including theCape Town Spatial Development Frame-work and eight detailed district plans.“However, the City also inherited a

number of pre-2000 local area planning poli-

cies from the previously disestablishedmu-nicipalities now comprising the metro,” itstates.“Many of these policies have subsequent-

ly either been superseded by the districtplans or have now become obsolete and out-dated.”A planning policy rationalisation process

to withdraw old policies has been initiated.“Reducing red tape to simplify the decision-making environment is vital,” says Mayor-al Committeemember for Energy, Environ-mental and Spatial Planning Johan van derMerwe.“This also creates increased policy cer-

tainty which is essential to drive invest-ment and create much-needed jobs.”

A list of the policies the City is proposingfor withdrawal has been published on theCity’s website at www.capetown.gov.za.The list is also available at all City libraries,subcouncil offices and district planning of-fices.Residents and interested parties can sub-

mit comments by Wednesday 10 December.For information about the public participa-tion process, email Future.CapeTown@ca-petown.gov.za.

Bring joy to achild’s heartThe festive season is traditionallyknown as the season of giving.Capetonians will have the opportu-

nity to donate and put a smile on thefaces of disadvantaged childrenwhen NPO Mustadafin Foundationhosts its annual PositiveDay event atMnandi Swimming Pool on Wednes-day 10 December.More than 300 children, aged three

to 14, from the organisation’s variousprogrammeswill enjoy adayof treatsand fun.Most of the children come from

poor, destitute and broken families,and have never received a gift intheir life.“Positive Day is an annual celebra-

tion for children who have con-quered many things during theirlives. It’s [all] about positivity. We al-so give them safetymessages tomakesure they are well equipped for thefestive season,” says foundation di-rector Ghairunisa Johnstone.“These safetymessages are focused

on drug awareness, how to be safe inthe water and general safety meas-ures when guardians are not around.It’s also a day when a child can be achild and not have to worry about[their living circumstances].”Many of the children have never

seen or met their biological parents.“We work with [them] during theyear, give themagift,meal andall thelove and support that we can,” shesays.“Giving them a toy is a token of

making them [feel] special andloved.”A total of 300 toys will be distribut-

ed on the day and 150 toys will behanded out on Christmas.The foundation calls on Capeto-

nions to donate toys to be distributedto the children. To donate, phone(021) 633 0010 or drop off your dona-tions at 18 Belgravia Road, Athlone.V For more information on the organisationvisit www.mustadafin.org.za.

A trip to the mall used to be a family affair, an outingor, to the harried among us, a dreary necessity foressentials such as food and toiletries.

But, for the most part, Capetonians have become quiteadept at combining necessary evils of stocking up on gro-ceries with a bit of fun, like going to the movies, restau-rants or simply browsing.In spite of most shopping outings to bigger malls hap-

pening after pay day, many people have learnt to shopwith the eye.But that eye will now have to be rapier sharp and

trained to the very high possibility of mall robberies.A number of Cape Townmalls have been on the receiv-

ing end of the cunning sting that has seen, among others,cellphone and jewellery outlets stripped of their goods.And the robbers are becoming increasingly more bra-

zen, in some instances shooting at security guards as theyleave in their wake a trail of blood, mayhem and fear.Frustration mounts at a rising tide of crime policing

seems impotent to stem.Aswehead for the festive season, therewill be an influx

of shoppers and mall management have doubtless uppedsecurity measures to ensure their patrons a pleasantshopping experience. Nobody wants to leave a mall trem-bling in fear after being caught in crossfire.There is somethingwrongwith this picture.Usually the

average individual hears of shootings in so-called danger-ous places, certainly not at the mall. But, unfortunately,this is now our new “normal”.So it would be wise to teach your family – including

the elderly and children – how to behave in such a situa-tion by safeguarding themselves.Gone are the good old days when you’ve over extended

your credit card, beenpick-pocketed, forgot about the saleat one store andbought the same item formore elsewhere,or your child has somehow negotiated a costlier gizmothat you did not budget for.Safe shopping!

A ‘celebration’ of violenceIt is indeed a sad day for our community onthis Wednesday 5 November, when onedrives through the streets of the greater Lav-ender Hill, Seawinds, Hillview and Capri-corn area.You see groups of boys and men running

around covered in paint with socks filledwith stones, have blades between their fin-gers and throwing paint and eggs at adultscoming from work, hitting them with thesesocks, robbing them and chasing childrencoming from school. Where does this tradi-tion come from? This has been the worstyear since the start of this practice andgroups of about 60 youths have just beencausing havoc in the community.They have no respect for anyone, whether

a child or an older person. This was neverhow Guy Fawkes was celebrated and I amtempted to ask young people causing somuch chaos and mayhem: do you really un-derstand what Guy Fawkes was about?I would like to ask their parents where

they are when their child is running around

assaultingpeople.Do theyask their childrenwhy they are running aroundwith paint andstone covered socks? It is your responsibili-ty to educate your children about how to cel-ebrate traditions.This isnot traditionor cul-ture, it is violence. This day is a day that vio-lence, chaos and mayhem is promoted.We strongly condemn this practise as

many children and adults were hurt “cele-brating” this day. We strongly condemn thesetting off of fireworks in residential areasas the animals are traumatised. There aredesignated areas to do so.We want to ask parents to supervise your

teens and speak to them about being respon-sible citizens of this community, and to re-spect especially the elderly.We hope Guy Fawkes practises will be

bannednext year and that LawEnforcementagencies will act when they see these paintthrowing, sock hitting mobs celebrating theday.LUCINDA EVANSLAVENDER HILL

Get involvedIt is sad to hear about the petty crime inPunts Estate and Elfindale.People from these estates never come to

the Heathwatch meetings at the HeathfieldHall.They could join the neighbourhood watch

for Sector 1, which is Heathwatch, and helpby conducting patrols in the area along withstaff from Steenberg Police Station.So, please stop running to the newspaper

– come and join the neighbourhood watchand do something for PuntsEstate andElfin-dale.PETER HUMPHREYSHEATHFIELD

Food for thoughtI saw on TV how two women spoke of theirstruggle to put food on the table.Theywent to a supermarket and the shock

hit home – they received a measly amountof food at an astronomical price.All of us, no matter our financial status,

are bending at the knees at the till for theprices we have to pay.I looked at the prices in a supermarket and

thought of the man in the street [battling] tosurvive on the food prices. Government hasto invest in mass food production and pricecontrol. One of themajor contributors to theprice tag is branding. I do not care whatbrand is on the packet of fruit, vegetablesand meat because we need the food. We can-not afford the prices that make a few richer

but keep millions on the very lean side ofthe bread line. Food not sold by a due dateis dumped as waste or collected by farmersfor their animals. Why is that food not soldat a low price to people struggling to put amorsel of food on the table? Has profit madeus blind to the plight of our people?Some farmers also use hectares of fields

to plant lettuce. What makes a farmer planta cluster of leaves instead of potatoes, cab-bage, peas, tomatoes, carrots, onions, pump-kins or squash?Government needs to do some shopping

and fasting, and then invest in an affordablemenu for the struggling diners.Mahatma Gandhi said: “There are people

in the world so hungry that God cannot ap-pear to them except in the form of bread.”KEITH BLAKEOTTERY

Thank you to hospital staffI would like to thank the doctors, security,sisters, Sister Peko, the dressing room staffand everybody for their help when I was in-volved in a burn accident. Words cannot ex-

press how grateful I am for all you did forme. Many thanks from a grateful patient.THERESARETREAT

Jobs: evenharder forolder peopleIf young people feel like givingup because they don’t haveenough experience, just thinkhow people between 35 and 40years old feel (“Give our youtha chance”,People’s Post, 21 Octo-ber; “Jobs: I feel like giving up”,People’s Post, 28 October).We have all the experience in

the world, but all the jobs eithergo to black people or young-sters/students because they arecheap labour and not familiarwith their rights.I have sent hundreds of CVs

via email and even resorted tohanding out copies to business-es and hotels, but [I get no] re-plies. When you actually go forinterviews – which can last allof 10 minutes to one hour – theyturn you away or just don’t call.You spend all that taxi fare fornothing.What do you have to do to get

hired?ANON

NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF THESUBCOUNCILS: NOVEMBER 2014

‘No’ to waste drop off siteThe City of Cape Town boastfully declares:“This City works for you.”Ever wondered what the experience is

like when this City does not work for you?Thepast fewdays the community of Park-

wood experienced just that. [There is] a pro-posal to establish awaste drop off site in ourfaces, those of our seniors, youth and futuregenerations.I want to cry. Our dignity, culture, histo-

ry and the very essence of who we as a peo-ple are and where we come from, is tornapart, looked at with contempt and thrownin our faces.Does thisCitywork foruswhenacouncil-

lor proposes to bring a waste drop off sitefrom a non-residential area, hidden by afreeway in Constantia and dump it rightnext to our cemetery, sports field, and nearour clinic, civic and residential area? Doesthe City work for you when we, the affectedparties, were never included in any processof consultation or participation, and whenthe local subcouncil and ward councillorshave “no knowledge” of what’s happening?And when the community consultativemeetingwasheld inPelicanPark, out of ourward with no relevant parties present?Does this City work for us when the com-

pany appointed by them propose a commu-nal entrance gate – same for the hearse andthe dump truck – when we are advised tomake pre-arrangements when there is a

burial so that the noise level can bedropped?Does the City understand we hold dear to

our hearts the memories of our parents,great-grandparents, those who suffered un-der apartheid and struggled to give us a de-cent education? Do they understand wewant them to rest with dignity in theirgraves?Does the City understand we already

struggle to overcome gangsterism, crime,substance abuse, poverty and the results ofan unjust system where our people havebeen stripped of dignity and self-worth?I commit myself to the struggle again.With our few resources, finances and all

the challenges of amighty force with funds,advocates and power on their side, [we]fight an unjust, undemocratic and inhu-mane system.Our children will not play soccer next to

a waste dump. My beloveds will not rest intheir graves next to a waste dump. Our sen-iors will not walk an extra mile to accessbasic services because of a waste dump.Mygrandchild will not drive along the freewayand see her community dwarfed by a wastedump, nor shall we relive the days whenothers decide, do and speak for us.I cry out for your prayers, support and

voice.PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPSPARKWOOD

Mall safety must be priorityThe spate of daring shopping mall robber-ies is alarming and its effects will inevita-bly negatively affect customer shoppinghabits, and subsequent reluctance to visitshopping centres asweapproach the festiveseason.The brazen daylight robberies by crimi-

nals is a further worrying factor, sincethieves execute their raids fully armed andready to shoot anyone who stands in theirway, often during normal trading hours.Shopping centremanagement companies

must take full responsibility, together withtheir respective tenant collectives, in tack-ling the growing scourge. I am concernedthat already six robberies have been car-ried out in this province.The organised security industry has de-

veloped into one of the most sought afterand fastest growing industries in South Af-rica. Therefore, it is incumbent of centremanagements to select the most reputableone to guard their centres.The choice of security company in re-

spect of submitting the “cheapest” quota-tion shouldnever be the criteria during thisexercise. Sadly, many landlords and centremanagement companies fall into this trap.

The thorough screening and securitybackground checks of individual securityguards by security companies is impera-tive, and quite often, the security guardsare complicit with the criminals in plan-ning the heinous robberies, as I have expe-rienced inmy 15 years as a shopping centremanager.Low salaries earned by security guards

is a major contributing factor, luring theminto participating in and being accessoriesto robberies, and the aforesaid must be ad-dressed by the regulatory body governingthe security industry. Poor or lack of ade-quate training is another worrying factor,and we rely on security companies’ proac-tive safety and security measures to pre-vent such brazen robberies.An annual risk assessment of shopping

centres is imperative to highlight weak-nesses in the centres’ security plan.Customer safety must never be compro-

mised. I implore landlords and shoppingcentre management companies to imple-ment adequate anti-crime strategies to pre-vent the senseless loss of life or injury aswe enter the Christmas period.MARK KLEINSCHMIDT

Your SMSes. Jan Burger says traffic calming moneycan be put to better use, but on the otherhand he says Ward 72 has been in need ofspeed bumps for a long time. Hemust makeup his mind. Speed bumps are placed allover, without the Traffic Department’s in-put. Most of the time people exaggerate theproblem. M Davadoss, Retreat

. Councillor Burger, speeding down ourroads is mostly done by outsiders takingshortcuts to the factories, Heathfield andMain Road. I have been living in TecomaRoad for 42 years. There are more than 120vehicles driving through our streets be-tween 06:00 and 08:00. Is that supposed to beresidential? Eileen Bownes

. I am happy to hear about the plan forspeed bumps in Gougem Road, Southfield.It’s not only used as a detour, but also asa racetrack by residents working on carsfrom home. I hope there will be a speedbump near the park as well. Ian

. The Saturday before Father’s Day Icalled the 107 emergency line for an ambu-lance to takemy 82-year- old father to hospi-tal. He had severe diarrhoea and was dehy-drated. After 20 minutes, I was assured anambulance had been dispatched. I calledback after an hour and was told I must justhave patience as the ambulance will come.I eventually managed to get my father tohospital by car. I returned home after sevenhours and was told the ambulance neverpitched. The service is pathetic.

. Council should make tenants responsi-ble for interiormaintenance of rental hous-ing. The occupants will then assist in curb-ing vandalism.

. Illegal tenants are criminals andshould be treated as such. The police aresupposed to enforce the law. If it’s not theirdepartment, they should call the relevantdepartment and let them deal with it.Neighbours need to be more tolerant andlook out for each other.

. We live in an abundant universe, yet somany people live in poverty. Abundance isnot something we acquire, it is somethingwe tune into. To live life fully, we mustchoose courageously and love without lim-its. The majority of our results come froma minority of our efforts. Abundance is aprosperity consciousness.Have fun, behap-py, be grateful, go the extramile, have a def-inite purpose and have a vision for the fu-ture. Goals are milestones along the way.Have a prosperousmindset; life is too shortto be morbid and miserable.

. Proverbs 26: 3, 9 and 11 says: “A whipfor the horse, a halter for a donkey and arod for the backs of fools... Like a thornbush in the drunkard’s hand is a proverbin the mouth of a fool... As a dog returns toits own vomit, so is a fool who repeats hisfolly.” I’m against alcohol and drugs in anycommunity. Desmond J

. Regarding City rental stock: the City ofCape Town boasts about success of the Ex-tended Public Works Programme. Whycan’t they train people on their database tocomplement the staff shortages?

Slog-fest for junior cricketersDUDLEY CARSTENS

Cricket scouts in andaround Cape Town willdo themselves no harm

by pencilling in Sunday 30November for a visit to BlueBells Cricket Club’s Super-Strikers tournament.

It’s there where theymight just discover the nextPaul Adams – now coach ofthe Cape Cobras and formerBlue Bells Cricket Clubplayer.

The tournament will bethe first of its kind hosted bythe club for under-11, under-13 and under-15 teams.

With the regular seasonalready a thing of the past atthe end of this week, BlueBells Cricket Club juniorconvenor Ghalied Sambosays the drive behind theircampaign is to keep chil-dren focused on cricketwhen the season is done anddusted.

Sambo tells People’s Post:“The main aim of the tour-nament is to build dreamsand allies. We want the kidsto enjoy the tournament andmix with the other playersa bit. With the season end-ing on Saturday 15 Novem-ber, we want to keep thechildren focused on cricketa little longer, because if

they don’t have anything todo – that’s where mischiefcomes in.”

Sambo says they hope toattract provincial selectorsand scouts to the tourna-ment. It is for this reasonthat they also invited someCape Cobras cricketers toattend the tournament.

“You never know whowill be there,” he says.

“That’s why we will havean open tournament for eve-ryone – clubs and schools.”

The event organisershope to have four teams ineach division, with a round-robin section before thestart of the knockouts.

In the past Blue Bells havehosted a six-a-side tourna-ment, but it will be the firsttime the will have a tourna-ment in which juniors fromother clubs and schools arealso invited to participate.

It promises to be a slog-fest of note, with matchesbeing contested over fiveovers per innings, with thewicketkeeper being the onlyone not allowed to bowl.

Entry for the tournamentis R800 per team and thoseinterested can phone Samboon 082 551 7850.

The tournament will beheld at Chukker RoadSports Complex.
