RONDEVLEI

Couple ‘declared dead’CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Their dream of moving into their newhome has been snuffed out after a Ron-devlei couple were prematurely de-

clared deceased.But Patricia and Peter Lewis are alive and

well.They have lived in the informal settlement

for many years and are beneficiaries of theRondevlei housing project.

However, an error made by the Depart-ment of Home Affairs has brought theirplans to move into a new home to a grindinghalt.

The couple coincidentally found they wereregistered as “deceased” at the home affairsdepartment when collecting documentationto move to their new home.

Patricia explains during the initial stagesof the housing development the family hadto relocate their dwelling.

That was in 2013.After a long wait, the family – which con-

sists of the couple, three children and threegrandchildren – say they are disappointedby this setback.

This error has thrown a spanner in theworks of the family relocating to their newhome.

“I have never had the privilege of owningmy own house and I was so excited to moveinto my new home when phase one rolledout. I have made sacrifices to own my newhouse and this mess has complicatedthings,” says a frustrated Patricia.

She has slammed home affairs for their“negligence”, expressing profound disap-pointment that she may now have to wait solong to move into a real home.

“I want my family to finally have a placewe can proudly call our home. All our liveswe have been in a shack and now that we’reable to move into a new home we can callour own it has being delayed.”

Despite numerous attempts by People’sPost to gain comment from the Departmentof Home Affairs, they did not respond by thetime of going to print.

The Lewis family has had to face constantquestions from their neighbours.

“People around here know how long I havebeen living in this area and when they seeother people moving into new homes beforeme they ask when am I going to move into

my house. I don’t have answers for them be-cause unlike other new home owners I can’teven go show them where my plot is becauseI don’t have one,” she says.

MENTAL HEALTH

Subconscious toll of crimeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It all happened one morning in winter. AHout Bay family was making their wayhome.Upon arrival they were accosted by three

men wearing balaclavas and armed with acrowbar. They demanded cash and two ofthe suspects took the father into the housewhere they tied him up.

Meanwhile, another suspect assaulted hiswife with a crowbar.

The criminals made off with a watch, cash,a cellphone and laptop. The woman, howev-er, had to be hospitalised and undergo an op-eration on her face.

This is one of many chilling accounts ofhouse robbery provided by police. Alongwith reports such as these there are othermany horrific stories of ATM bombings,mall robberies and violent carjackings.

But as crime trends change, the affects onthe victims do so in tandem.

StressThe free counselling service LifeLine says

in a statement it is facing its hardest chal-lenge in 47 years.

Chairperson Glynis Depper says assistingvictims to deal with the stress and anxietycaused by violent crime is currently themain subject many counsellors are assistingcallers with.

She says while they try to keep abreast ofwhat is happening in the country, this issueseemingly crept up on counsellors and is be-coming more prevalent.

In her statement, Depper outlines the ef-fects of being in a constant “high alert state”.Having herself been a victim of crime threetimes, she explains how victims often alter-nate their lifestyles adding stress to theirdaily routine without noticing it.

SubconsciousWhen preparing to drive from point A to

B, many individuals will look for the safestroute.

Depper explains while this is commonpractice, subconsciously crime has condi-tioned the way we live our lives and un-knowingly we often go out of our way to en-sure the safety of our loved ones and belong-ings.

Highlighting the spate of mall robberieslast year and the recent mugging of SABCjournalist Vuyo Mvoko, who along with atelevision crew were robbed while filminga news segment, Depper says in recentyears criminals have become more brazenand their actions have many runningscared.

“I would think twice about going to a mallthese days. Even going grocery shoppingcould be dangerous,” she says.

Negative impactDepper believes amid the feelings of inse-

curity, fear and a response spectrum whichranges from anger and bitterness to paraly-sis, crime has a negative impact on our emo-

tional and physical well-being as well as ourrelationships.

“The main aspect is the amount of stresswe out on ourselves to ensure we are safe.This builds up and can have very bad effectson your mental well-being and could developinto a disorder if not dealt with,” she says.

Let it outThe organisation has made an appeal for

victims to get help by letting it all out.Depper says the services provided by Life-

Line are focussed on empathy and empower-ment, supporting emotional wellness, be-lieving in the soul and connectedness of hu-mankind.

“We all share the same wounds and bro-kenness – these are the things that bind ustogether – those who have participated in

our training courses will attest to this.”In her statement Depper explains LifeLine

strives to reach out and find the tools, em-bedded in everyone that will bring healingand courage.

“Our counsellors are highly trained andoffer total confidentiality. We offer both tele-phonic and face-to-face counselling.”

She encourages victims not to be brave bytrying to understand and process what hashappened on their own.

“We offer a free service and help people tojust let it out.

“If needed we can refer them to anotherorganisation but the first step is to talk aboutthe incident,” Depper concludes.V For telephonic counselling call LifeLine on021 461 1111, to make an appointment to see a counsel-lor call 021 461 1113.

Stay up to dateRoad rageGAVIN FISH

I have been the victim of road rage twice inrecent months.

I write that with much puffed-up indigna-tion as I was the one wronged. I mean, theformer pulled out in front of me, without in-dicating, causing me to swerve violently andthe latter performed an illegal u-turn … Iwas, of course, entitled to voice my indigna-tion, loudly and persistently both with vo-cals, hooter and gesture.

They were in the wrong and they neededto understand just how dangerous theirdriving had been.

What I received in response was disturb-ing, to say the least.

Both were a barrage of the foulest lan-guage imaginable, threats to do the inde-scribable to me and clearly more than readyfor a fight.

I was left rather shaken, asking myselfjust how we had reached that point.

Lurking beneath my injured innocencewas the nagging realisation that I had con-tributed to the confrontations.

I am in no way suggesting the blame wasequal, that their reactions were thereforejustified or at least understandable. What Iam acknowledging is that both situationscould and should have turned out differentlyhad I reacted differently.

Of course I want to grumpily interject andinsist that I was the one more wronged; thatthe onus should not be on me to have re-sponded differently. I had failed the “be thebigger person,” test. I was not even on thescoreboard.

So too with teenagers! Do a mental inven-tory of your recent heated and unhappy ex-changes.

In how many of them could the outcomehave been different had you reacted differ-ently? Again, the point is not whether youare in the right, it is rather how do youchoose to take on what is wrong.

If I failed to master the appropriate re-sponse with five decades of life lessons be-hind me, should I really be so stridently in-sistent that my teen responds perfectly?

No one enjoys having their wrongdoingpointed out to them. Choose your words.Create a distance between your indignationand your chosen response. Yes, teens doneed to be blistered with the truth from timeto time. If we have a loving relationship withthem they will in time come to petulantly ac-cept the blistering.

Generally speaking we should adopt theopposite spirit to that with which we are con-fronted.

Two wrongs do not make a right.I am trying!

Taking back their streetsCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Hilary Drive residents say they are fed-up with being the targets of crime.As a result of the spike in crime in

the area, residents are now taking an activestand against perpetrators.According to resident Lucinda Evans, Hi-

lary Drive residents have been the target ofmotor vehicle thefts since December.“Southern Hills residents have been the

targets of break-ins and theft fromourmotorvehicles since December. This has been spi-ralling out of control. We do not even wantto report crimeanymore becausenothing re-ally gets done,” Evans says.She recalls an incident earlier this month

when a man was found trespassing on herproperty.“On Saturday 7 March my family almost

became a victim of theft. As a SouthernHillsresident I decided that I had had enough. Aman jumped over my fence to try and breakin at 06:55. He was dressed in a black shinypadded jacket, a black hoodie top under-neath, and stonewash jeans. He was about1.5m with brown short hair and fair skin,”Evans explains.She adds the alleged perpetrator scaled

their wall but was interrupted when herdogs started barking.“[Theman] didn’t know Iwas at home and

he jumped back over the wall because mydogs disturbed him. I went to the garage,took out my car and drove in the oppositedirection,” she says. Evans says she pursuedthe alleged thief at the corner of her street.“I drove onto the pavement and jumped

out with my sjambok. I wanted to assaulthim, but sanity prevailed because they havemore rights than us who conduct ourselves

within the law,” Evans adds.When standing face-to-facewith the crimi-

nal, Evans says she gave him a warning.“I told himwhat I would do to him if I find

him on my property again and as a residentof Hilary Drive I am taking my street back.I’ve had enough of thieves thinking we aredonating our hard-earned possessions tothem.“They are brazen and have no problems

scaling our walls at 07:00 or 03:00 and stealanything they can get their hands on.”

Evans has encouraged residents to opencases at the police station, even if they feeldespondent.“I fully understand if residents don’t want

to report these crimes, but we still need toopen up those cases. We have written to thepolice and politicians to help us protect ourcommunity and nothing has come of it,” shesays.She says when gang shootings in the area

quietens, the residents and properties be-come easy targets.

Evans adds a street meeting will be heldwith residents on Friday 20 March whereresidents will take a stand against crime inthe area.Steenberg police spokesperson Constable

Zodwa Kedama confirms there has been aspike in theft out of motor vehicles.V For more information contact Lucinda Evans on073 424 4665.V What are your thoughts on fighting back or safe-guarding your streets? Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

ment minister Albert Fritz says this is oneof two child abandonment cases his depart-ment is dealing with.Fritz says: “The first casewas that of a two-

year-old boy who was left abandoned at thebeginning of March in a shopping mall inPhilippi.”He says the department took extensive

investigatereal needThank you for the great leader article(“Raise the bar”, People’s Post, 3 March)on grassroots programmes and theircorruptive divisions.

As a full-time student myself, with feesfunded by the government student loanand bursary scheme, I have to attendcertain meetings where my signature andproof of identity is required in order toobtain funds like food allowance fromthem. As I stand and wait in the longestqueue ever, I’m met by the loud-mouthed,arrogant, show-off students next to meand in the rest of the admin building.

They wear the most expensive shoes –Carvela, Nike Air Max – and the mosttrendy clothing, rocking the most flashycellphones and drink Hennessy. If thatpaints a picture of “disadvantaged”[students], then I must be high on tik.

Also, most of these students’ grades arepathetic. I mean, who polices this behav-iour?

In my opinion, you should reallyexpand this article. Don’t be afraid.

Your SMSesChurch ‘too loud’.I live in Punts Estate and the “noise”has never bothered us. People have aright to practice their faith. Why do wewant to persecute Christians for practis-ing their faith? Die Gatjie needs Christ,not drugs and violence.

. We can understand if it is a bit tooloud, but to phone the police for theword of God? Noise pollution applies toall. Mr Cullen, I’m sure the mosque alsorequires a permit for their sound, right?

Taxi safety

. Where are the decals displayed? Arethey easy to see? You cannot see them atthe back, because some of the elderlycannot move very fast. I used to be ataxi driver in Port Elizabeth and we hadthe same problem [of illegal taxi opera-tors]. I was also attacked, but it wasstopped by the other drivers. Keep upthe good work and I hope you get rid ofthe problem. – Ronnie

Sharedon Park lane closures. Why should the entrance [to Share-

shortcut to the station? They don’t harmanyone.

It is politically incorrect of the resi-dents to force them out of a route thatsuits them best. They don’t commit anycrime while using this detour. However,they instead put themselves at risk tobecome victims of crime. Let us ratherfocus on a real problem such as drugabuse and leave innocent people to get tothe station in time.

‘Grass’ a health hazardAre they crazy? Unbelievable! Whatwere they thinking!

That’s the response my five-year-oldgave when I told her the black pellets inthe artificial grass in her school play-ground are made from old tires.

The artificial grass in playgrounds istypically filled in with black or greenpieces of re-purposed rubber, typicallygained from old tires.

If children had limited exposure thiswould be fine but our children arerolling about in ground up car tireseveryday at school.

This stuff contains high levels of toxicsubstances which prohibit their disposalin landfills and oceans. So I ask if it’sbad enough for the environment whatmakes it even legal for our children toplay on it?

I know the people making moneyselling this stuff will say artificial grassis safe.

But children are more vulnerable totoxic chemicals and are unable toprocess them due to their rapidlydeveloping bodies and organ systems.The negative health effects might notshow up for years to come.

It will be too late for our children ifin 20 years time research is done thatactually proves the correlation betweenplaying in artificial grass and cancer.

Dying from cancer is a horrible thing.I beg school administrators to considerthis and at least allow parents to makean informed choice as to whether toallow their children to play in artificialturfs or not.

ANNA SONE

Wrong addressWhat happened to the reliable servicewe used to have with mail delivery?Every single day I get someone else’smail in my postbox at home. I have had‘final demands’ sent to me although Inever received any bills which can onlymean my mail ends up somewhere else.

Yesterday I got a ‘final notice’ for aparcel I have to collect at the postoffice. The parcel was about to be sent

back to America and the ‘final notice’was the first I heard about it havingarrived. When I phoned the post office Iwas told the notification slips blowaway in the wind! If something gets putin my postbox it can’t blow away as itis an upright post box with a verticalslit in the top with a lid that closes overit. There is no way, if the slip wasdelivered, it could have blown away.

This is really worrying and I amfed-up.

C. SWARTZ

We need a hero.Forty years ago South Africa had no short-

age of activists, soldiers, priests and academ-ics, who – some in exile or prison – personified thestruggle. Nelson Mandela. Oliver Tambo. Walter Si-sulu. Helen Suzman.

These are just some of the heroes who led usthrough the fight against apartheid.

While some may think those days are long gone,we are still fighting today.

As a nation, we still face very real struggles.Our fight against crime and corruption, poverty

and inequality may differ from that of the past, butthis makes it no less important.

Children are being killed in gang wars. Familiesare going to bed hungry. The number of beggars onthe streets is increasing. Jobs are becoming scarcewhile we watch politicians pocket billions of rands.

In the past, we would have taken to the streets. Wewould have boycotted. We would have put up a fight.

But with a lack of good, trustworthy leaders today,we are at a loss as to how to channel our anger anddissatisfaction.

Where have all the good men and women gone?Where are our leaders, our heroes, willing to fight

with us and show the way?They are not in the plush seats of parliament.You will not find them behind the pulpit.They do not speak out against injustice in the class-

room. They are no longer marching on the streets ormobilising the community.

So look to yourself. Look to family, to your commu-nity.

Perhaps you have the heart to lead your communi-ty, to take to the streets and to incite change.

Perhaps you have it in you to be a hero.

eight years old. Since then Imade a successof my athletics sporting codes which hasearned me my code in heptathlon,” Carlasays.She explains the code as competing in

seven sporting events over the space of twodays.“I participate in 100m hurdles, high

jump, shotput, 200m sprint, long jump, jav-

elin and the 800m.“Most recently I completed these sport-

ing events in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia,”Carla beams.She returned from her latest competition

Pupils attended weekly workshopsthroughout February with the aim of help-ing them present their own show as part ofthe festival’s activities.

The schools involved with this year’sprogram include Heathfield, Pinelands,Chris Hani, Eerste River and The Settlershigh schools, Wynberg Senior Secondaryand the Langa School Music Project, alongwith individual participants.

The programme focuses on performanceand the behind-the-scenes planning re-quired to put on a show. Subjects coveredinclude marketing, hospitality, logistics,safety and security and technical needs.

The show on Sunday is an opportunityfor pupils to put these skills into practice.While some pupils will be on stage, manywill also be involvedwith the technical andproduction aspects like sound and lighting.

Cricket royalty visits townTwo local cricket legends Goolam (Goo-

lie) and Sullaiman (Dik) Abed visitedtheir homeland again recently.

The duo was part of a group of five Abedbrothers who all achieved national colours.Babu, the oldest brother, played rugby forSouth Africa, Salie (Lobo) played cricket forSouth Africa, Gassant (Tiny) played rugbyand cricket for South Africa, Goolie playedrugby for South Africa and Dik became thecaptain of the Dutch national cricket team.

Goolie and Dik left South Africa in the1950s and 1960s respectively, to play cricketand rugby in England. Goolie played rugbyleague and county cricket in England andwas also a professional there for a numberof clubs. Prior to him leaving South Africa,he also represented Western Province atcricket and rugby and also representedSouth Africa at rugby. Goolie married Jean,an English lady, and settled in England run-ning a successful engraving business.

Dik became a professional at EnfieldCricket Club in England, a position he heldfor 10 years. He took Enfield to their firstleague title in over 35 years in his first sea-son, taking 134 wickets and scoring over 800runs. A statue of him is in a cricket museum,stating that he was the best professional the

club has ever had.Dik moved on to Holland where he was

married to a Dutch lady, Janni, and had twochildren, Rasool and Anissa. Dik also be-came the Dutch national cricket captain andis still a respected figure in Dutch cricketcircles.

The pair met up with family and friendswhile on a two-week tour of Cape Town.They were also the guest speakers at anevent held in their honour by the NewlandsCricket High School, at Sahara Park Newl-ands, where the school’s scholarships arenamed in their honour. They both donatedtheir national blazers to the school to be dis-played at Newlands.

Their older brother (Tiny’s) grandson, AliAkbar Shaik (13) is proudly continuing thefamily tradition. He took 111 wickets in 2013,127 wickets in 2014 and also averaged 38 runsper innings. This year, he has alreadyclaimed 50 wickets just two months into theseason. Ali Akbar also represented WP un-der-11 in 2012, WP under-13A in 2013 and2014, and was part of the WP under-13Awhich ended as the highest ranked provin-cial under-13 side in the national tourna-ment in Potchefstroom in December lastyear.

SHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United came from a goal downto secure a point away from homewhen they played to a 1-1 stalemate

with Vasco da Gama in a NFD encounterat Parow Park on Saturday afternoon.

The opening stages of the match was atypical Cape derby with a high intensity,back-and-forth battle.

Milano United looked more dangerous inthe final stages, with Vasco committing anumber of fouls in dangerous positions.

Vasco goalkeeper Steven Hoffman wasin sublime form on the day as he produceda number of match-winning saves to keep

his side in the game.In the 18th minute, Hoffman was well po-

sitioned when he collected Eezy My Kin-nes’ first attempt at goal through Ghanaianattacker Attram Kwame.

Shortly after that, the Kinnes movedswiftly into the final third with beautifulbuild-up play by Kwame and Nazier Ja-cobs, ultimately setting up Ganief Stellen-boom whose one-on-one opportunity waskept out by Hoffman. At the opposite endof the pitch, Samuel Julies’ set-piece from35-yards out went narrowly over the wood-work. Vasco took the lead at the half-hourmark when Stanley Muishond slotted theball home following a scramble inside the

six-yard area. The Kinnes continued to cre-ate a number of goal-scoring opportunities,but lacked the final pass when it was need-ed. Meanwhile, Zeka Karkee and Muish-ond teamed up nicely in the middle of thefield for the hosts. Two minutes into thesecond period, Milano came close to find-ing the equaliser when Taariq Fielies’ longball into the area almost crept in at the farpost. Coach Theo Hempe introduced thefresh legs of Ruzaigh Gamildien into theKinnes’ attack as they looked to level mat-ters. Gamildien almost made an instant im-pact when Kwame set him up, but his effortwas brilliantly kept out by Hoffman.

In the 52nd minute, the heroics of Hoff-

man was called on yet again, and the lankyshot-stopper tipped Nasief Morris’ 35-yardset-piece over the crossbar.Milano eventu-ally levelled matters in the 61st minutewhen Stellenboom’s long ball into the 18-yard area was deflected by Karkee into theback of his own net for an own goal.

Hempe then looked to get the winner andrejuvenated the attack with Lesvin Stoffelsand Brent Adonis. However, it was Vascowho came close to snatching the late win,but were denied by goalkeeper Lee Langev-eldt who pulled off two miraculous savesof his own.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more matchreport and football news.
