harassed other women at anotherhouse between 5th and 6th Avenue be-fore taking this girl.Though she got back home the po-

lice haven’t stopped searching for theperpetrators. A case of abduction hasbeen opened for investigation.Police spokespersonSergeantDavid

Stemmert says theyare calling onany-one with information to come forwardand help.“Thematter is still being investigat-

ed andweare followinguponall possi-ble leads. A case of kidnapping hasbeen opened for investigation.We arepleading with community memberswith any information to come forwardand report it as every little bit of infor-mation will help with the investiga-tion,” he says.V Anyone with information can call WarrantOfficer Marlon Oakes on 021 594 7033.

Residents in Woodstock are rallying behindthe market idea, signing a petition to get thepermit.Garreth Bloor, mayoral committee mem-

ber for tourism, events and economic devel-opment, saysVanLingenwas told that a per-mit would be issued for one day only, whichwas for 30May, to assess the level of supportfor the market.“It is the responsibility of the event orga-

niser to engage with all surrounding busi-nesses and affected parties, which includesresidents. In this instance, the applicantconsulted a body corporate and from thisconsultation three objections were sentthrough to the City. These objections weresent to the event organiser and the City re-quested that she engage with the three ag-grieved parties and provide feedback, whichwas done. Two of the three partieswere thensupportive of the market.“Complaintswere received fromresidents

and businesses after the first market washeld, relating to issues such as the marketcausing an obstruction; access concerns;road closures; and lack of consultation priorto the market being held. The City will con-sider issuing a permit after a proper publicengagement process is completed by theevent organiser and an amicable resolutionhas been reached with all interested and af-fected parties,” says Bloor.

The first market day in Yew Street in SaltRiver.

TECHNOLOGY

Smartphones unlockedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Phones have become an essential part of ourdaily lives.With technology advancing every day,

some are also working tirelessly to ensurethat no-one is left out of this world of ever-evolving technology.Vodacom, in partnership with the Cape

TownSociety of theBlind (CTSB) inSalt Riv-er, created a unique kiosk to bring the bene-fits of the latest smartphones to the blind.Thekiosk, launchedonTuesday lastweek,

will be operated by CTSB staff trained todemonstrate the advantages of text-to-speech software on the latest touchscreenphones.The CTSB will also benefit financially

from the sale of starter packs, M-pesa andairtime at the kiosk.The text-to-speech function makes it eas-

ier for visually impairedpeople to communi-cate using their smartphones. It is now builtinto the phone, making life much easier forusers.Visually impaired Michelle Botha (27) us-

es an iPhone 5 and says this initiative isgreat because, nowadays, communicationdoesn’t happen verbally anymore. “We areable to connect and check what’s happeningon social media. Gone are the days when weused to ask someone to read a text for us.Now we have our privacy and we can makeuse of the speech function to listen to themessages that we get as well as to respond,”she says.While using a smartphone when visually

impaired isn’t awalk in the park, Botha saysthemost important thing is toplaywithyourphone and get to know it.“It’s just like any other flatscreen phone

that anyone can use. But we have to knowthe icons so that it will be easy to use thephone.But the speech texts reallyhelp a lot,”she says.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of CTSB, says this

is a greatmilestone that theyhavebeenwait-ing years for.“What we like most about these phones is

that the visually impaired are freed from be-ing dependent. There are specially builtapps that will allow them to know exactlywhere they are or when to catch a bus, getprinted texts, listen to books and be able toread news and be up to date on what’s hap-pening around them. Most of all it will helpthemaccomplish important tasks. Thekioskwill really help in bridging the gap betweenthe visually impaired and those who are notblind,” says Van Wyk.Albert Breed, managing executive of Vo-

dacom Western Cape, says it’s wonderfulthat they are able to put something togetherto benefit people who are visually impaired.“It enhances the people’s lives so that they

can do all the things that normal people cando. Thiswill unlock theworld of reading andthe internet and they will now be able tofunction much more effectively,” saysBreed.Vincent Daniel, CTBS public awareness

officer, says the partnership is working to-wards making the kiosk a one-stop space foreverything.“This will really help a lot of people that

are blind. In the past people struggled to usetheir phones and they had to ask for help,but that will be a thing of the past. Thesephones are enabling us to do things on ourown and we are encouraging people to makeuse of the kiosk to enrich their lives and tokeep connected with the rest of the world,”says Daniel.

SMARTPHONES

App helps you talk over the wallTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Life is really too short to have towait for information or to talk toyour neighbours.This is what the developer of theOurHood app, Bruce Good, be-lieves. OurHood was founded byGood and Will Mellor, who arebased in Woodstock.This state-of-the-art applicationand website help residents to con-nect with their neighbours imme-diately, in real time.The idea behind this was to getpeople involved with their neigh-bours and give them the ability tocommunicate in a faster way. Hesays the app makes it easy to gethelp quickly – be it if your dog hasgone missing or you just want toborrow a ladder from someone inyour neighbourhood or to find outthe load shedding schedule in yourarea.Good says it will help neigh-bours share different kinds of in-formation to help improve theirneighbourhoods and make themsafe.“Our aim was to fight crime.Thiswill allow for saferneighbour-hoods as people can get assistancein the blink of an eye, as they areable to communicate in real time.This will allow them to sharethings and get to know their neigh-bourhood and their neighbourseven better because the more peo-

ple talk they will be closer to eachother,” he says.The app has a very strict verifi-cation process for registration.This will allow people in the neigh-bourhoods to connect much easierand not allow people who don’t be-long in the same neighbourhood.Instead of posting a notice in ashopping mall, this new sophisti-cated app gives space for it and alsohas a section for important num-bers.People can report crime, neigh-bours can buy and sell items, andshare events happening in their ar-ea.“Everything is just one clickaway. We are also promoting thespirit of sharing. If you want to gocamping but don’t have a campingmattress and someone in the areahas it, you can just post on thereand someonewill help youquickly.Thewhole idea is to connect neigh-bourhoods and promote safer com-munities. When people interactthey will be safer communities,”says Good.Since the app was launched lastyear more than 800 neighbour-hoods in South Africa have startedusing it.“People like it because they canreach each other cheaply andquickly. People are so amazed by itand it has unlocked new possibili-ties that they didn’t know abouttheir neighbourhoods,” he says.Adrian Good, ADT general man-

ager, fully supports the OurHoodapp and is excited to be part of it.“Wedecided to get behind this in-itiative because we recognise thevalue in real time connection. In

this day and age it’s crucial thatweknow and trust the people we seedaily. Having a platform that al-lows for constructive communica-tion while promoting a safe and se-

cure neighbourhood is advanta-geous to all,” says Good.V The app is free and can be downloadedat www.ourhood.co.za, on the Apple storeor Google Play store.

Shop owner robbed at gun pointTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

It was business as usual at Dienssuperette in Kensington despite arobbery there on Monday lastweek.The shop at the corner of 6thStreet and 4th Avenue operatedlike nothing had happened de-spite one of the shop owner beingrobbed at gun point of cigarettesand cash estimated at R10 000.The shop owners, originallyfrom Pakistan, say they havebeen operating the shop for twoyears and this is the second timethat the shop has been robbed.The first time the thieves tookpersonal belongings like laptops,cellphones and chargers.

Shop owner Zahidul Islam (35)says two men walked into theshop whilst others remained out-side in a car.“They looked like normal cus-tomers. One of the men said hewanted a yogurt and asked howmuch it was. The other said hewantedbread.As I thoughthewasgoing to pick bread from the shelfhe came straight tome behind thecounter. Pointed a gun at me andtook all the money and cigarettesand left,” he says.Despite that happening theydidn’t bother going to the policeas they say they have no faith inthe police. Ridoy Islam (24) says:“Police here don’t really help. Po-lice can come the first day andtake a statement but that will beall. We rather stay here and look

forward to better days. Going tothepolicewill justwaste our time.It happened; we just have tomoveon. Police won’t do anything tohelp. Crime is just too much inthis area, but police are not doingmuch to follow up on cases.”However, the police are encour-aging residents and businessowners to report crimes so thatthey can investigate them.Sergeant David Stemmert con-firms no case was opened for thisparticular robbery. “We have norecord of it, nothingwas reported.We have public meetings wherewe encourage people to reportcriminal activities. However, wewill investigate and go visit theshop and hear from him if hewants to open a case,” says Stem-mert.

Community leader JimmyXali-pi says foreign shop owners mustbecome part of organisations thatare there. “They are part and par-cel of this community so theyshould get involved inwhat’s hap-pening. There are policing fo-rums, neighbourhood watchesand street committees. Theyshould join them for their safety.Theywill knowwhat’s happeningand how they can be protected.They stay within this communityso they shouldn’t separate them-selves. They have shops here sothey should involve themselveswith what’s happening in thecommunity. They shouldn’t justtake themselves as traders onlybut bemore involved, so that suchissues can be resolved,” says Xali-pi.

SALT RIVER

Back to thestreets for foodTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

John Peter says being on the street for twoyears was such a privilege and an eye

opener for him. Now he sees homeless peo-ple in a different light.Peter says there was a time that every-

thing in his life came tumbling down andhe was left with absolutely nothing. He hadto stay on the street.Sleeping close to the Cape Town train sta-

tion was dangerous. With the help of an or-ganisationhemanaged to pickup thepiecesNow he is running a soup kitchen in

Shelley Street in Salt River. The kitchenfeeds more than 30 people from differentareas every day. It helps the Salt River com-munity as well.Peter alternates breakfast and lunch, but

his wish is to be able to give both meals inevery day.Peter is passionate about children. He

sayshedoesn’twant to seeanychild gohun-gry, so he isworking hard tomake sure thatthose kids that need to be are fed.Being on the streets made him care for

other people more.“I know how it feels to be on the streets

and not have food. I know what it is like togo hungry for days with nothing to eat orno-one to turn to. God helped me to surviveall that, as well as the harsh weather condi-tions. All those days on an empty stomachtaught me a lot, so I’m doing my bit to help

other people as well,” he says.With winter here his wish is to open the

soup kitchen as early as 06:00 so that he canhelp the needy with a cup of coffee as earlyas possible.“It’s difficult to be on the street. You get

cold to the bone. So I want to open early andhelp those that sleep outside in the rain tohave something to warm them up. Havingto wait till 10:00 when you spent the wholenight shivering in the cold is not easy, sothe least that I can do is to try and open ear-ly,” says Peter.One recipient, Abraham Lewis, says the

meals are very helpful.“They give us hope to look forward to ev-

ery day. Knowing that someonewill give ussomething to eat is very touching and itmakes us feel cared for. When I come totown I know where to eat; I don’t have tostress about anything,” says Lewis.Another recipient, Lobo Masimini, says

it’s difficult to get food all the time and thesoup kitchen has become their only hope.“This has become our home. They save

us nice warm food which is nicely cooked.He is really helping us a lot. He treats uslike family; we don’t feel any less. That’swhy we keep coming back here because weknow we will be received with warmhands,” says Masimini.Thosewhowant to helpwith food, clothes

or blankets can call Peter on 071 377 6791 ordrop it at Youth Solutions at 9 Shelley Roadin Salt River.

Baby dumpedin wheelie binTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents in 10th Avenue in Kensingtonare in shock after the body of a newborn

baby was found in a dustbin on the streeton Thursday evening.

The discovery was made by a man whowas scratching through the bins whichwhere outside waiting to be collected.

He opened one bin to find the bodywrapped in a towel on top of the rubbish.

The baby girl still had her umbilical cord.The little girl was bruised all over her bodyand it appears like she was beaten to death.

Without wasting any time the residentscalled the police. It is alleged that the bodywas dumped by a man who is not known inthe street.

The owner of the bin, Nadema Abrahams

(43), says she can’t sleep since the discov-ery.“I didn’t want to look, but still it affect-ed me so much. Now I’m so depressed thatI’m smoking continuously to keep calm. It’sso sad that innocent kids have to suffer forthings that they don’t know. Nothing canjustify such behaviour,” she says.

She is so upset about what happened thatshe says she won’t use that bin again. Shehas requested a new one from her landlord.

Another resident, Helen Major, says thebody was right at the top inside the bin.

Police spokesperson Sergeant DavidStemmert confirms the incident.

“The police can confirm that a baby wasfound dumped in a bin. The perpetratorsare unknown at this stage.

“A case of birth concealment is being in-vestigated. Investigations continue,” saysStemmert.

Beware robbers in VW GolfThepolice are on thehunt for aVWCitiGolflinked to several cases of robbery in DiepRiver and Claremont.

Captain Angie Latchman, spokespersonof the Wynberg police cluster, says resi-dents should be on the lookout for a blackVW Citi Golf with registration numberCA 900112.

Sheurges residents not to confront the oc-cupants of this car if seen, as they could bearmed and dangerous. “Immediately con-tact your nearest police station,” she says.

“The Claremont and Diep River policehave embarked on intensive crime preven-tion operations,” Latchman adds.

Tips. If you feel that you are being followed,drive to the nearest police station so thatyou can be escorted home.. Request the help of your security provid-er to meet you at your residence.. Always check your rear-view mirrors tosee if anyone is following.. Report all suspicious persons and cars toyour local police station.. If you enter your street, look out for anysuspicious or unknown parked cars or per-son walking or standing around.. Install security lights that go on when en-tering the premises.

Pupils educated on bullyingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Pupils at Sunderland Primary School inKensington recently heard Beverly Da-

vids talk about the importance of speakingout about bullying.Davids is the founder of the Chauncey’s

Epic anti-bullying clubwhichwas formed tohelp pupils, teachers and the community asa whole.She says this topic is often neglected, lead-

ing to victims of bullying committing sui-cide as there is no-one to help or listen tothem. The aim of her awareness campaignis to educate pupils about the effects bully-ing has on the victims, their families, lovedones and friends.She encourages pupils to speak out. She

urges pupils to inform three people immedi-ately if they are being bullied. These threepeople are the teachers, the principal, andthen the parents. She adds that this will helptomake sure that someone who is being bul-lied is helped faster.“This is a serious problem that has to be

dealt with. Parents must learn to talk totheir kids. Many times parents are workingand they come home tired and stressed out;they don’t even have time to talk to theirkids and hear if there is anything botheringthem. This leads to kids suffering in silence.“I’m glad that I’m doing my bit to educate

people on the dangers of bullying. If I canchange one mind then my job at that placeis done,” she says.The idea of this anti-bullying campaign

came about after Davids’s sonwas bullied inGrade 7. She says she watched her child suf-fer and change in front of her eyes while hesuffered severe bullying at his school. De-spite reporting the bullying, no-one couldhelp her or her son with the matter.“Hewasbeaten on the ground to the extent

that his lipwas torn. I remember howhewaspicked up by the collar by the police. No-onestood up for my child, no-one could protecthim. That painedme a lot. At every door thatI turned to no-one could help my son – to theextent that I had to take him and his sisterout of school,” Davids says.Now her job is to be an ear and help those

that are bullied to deal with it. She alsowants to tell people to be aware of how bully-ing starts. Since Chauncey’s Epic anti-bully-ing club started, Davids has spread her mes-sage at 12 schools around Cape Town.In a statement, Debbie Schaffer, provin-

cial minister for education, says it saddensher that bullying is a real issue in many ofour schools. The department views bullyingin a very serious light.The Safe Schools call centre received 45

calls about bullying last year, andnine so farthis year.“Unfortunately, many cases of bullying go

unreported and the education department istherefore not able to intervene. I thereforeurge parents and pupils to report any formof bullying immediately to their class teach-er, school principal or to the Safe Schoolshotline, so that we can respond.“The Safe Schools hotline is available to

schools, teachers, parents and pupils to re-port all school crime and abuse, and aims tocontribute to a safe and crime-free school en-vironment,” she says.V The Safe Schools call centre can be reached at 080045 46 47.

for the animal, the miserable existence thathomeless animals endure on the streets ofCape Town and its communities.Sterilisations, over time, make an enor-

mous difference in reducing the number ofstrays and unwanted dogs in our society.Themoney raised byDLDalso financially

helps dog ownerswhowant to sterilise theirpets but find the cost too high.This year’s show will be hosted by Bren-

dan van Rhyn, who starred as Frank-n-Fur-ter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent producti-on of The Rocky horror show.The rest of the line-up includes Cape

TownCity Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama,Vadhini Indian Arts Academy, Ashley and

SALT RIVER

City gives tohomeless sheltersThe Multi-service Centre in Pickwick

Road in Salt River is one of 17 sheltersthat will benefit from the City budget to im-prove the lives of the homeless this winter.

At a briefing held in Maitland, Suzette Lit-tle, mayoral committee member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment, announced the list of NGOs that willbenefit from aid to the tune of more thanR600 000 to help street people seeking shelterthis winter. This is part of the City’s prepa-rations for this year’s winter.

The City will be distributing aid in theform of blankets, mattresses, non-perishablefood, toiletries and other things to the NGOsto increase their capacity to deal with thenumber of street people seeking shelter andhelp during the winter months.

Budget doubledThis year, the social development and ear-

ly childhood development directorate hasmore than doubled its budget for the pro-gramme, from R280 000 last year to just overR600 000 this year.

The 17 shelters that will benefit are situat-ed across the city, including Somerset West,Bellville, Elsies River, Retreat, Wynberg,Woodstock and Green Point.

“The weather service has predicted abovenormal rainfall and lower than normal max-imum temperatures into early spring, so theshelters are going to be extremely busy. Wehope that our winter programme will helpto lighten the load and put the shelters in aposition to assist every person who needshelp.

“I also appeal to street people to make use

of the services available to them. Yes, theshelters come with rules and regulations,but that has to be a better option than tryingto sleep rough in near freezing tempera-tures,” said Little.

Keeping them off the streetsIn addition to providing aid to shelters, the

City will continue its daily interventionsaimed at securing more long-lasting solu-tions for street people who want help.

The directorate’s fieldworkers are de-ployed across Cape Town to engage withstreet people and facilitate access to servicesfor them.

The directorate’s reintegration unit isnow also in its sixth month of operation andhelps street people return to their communi-ties of origin and to ensure that they havethe necessary support to prevent a return tothe streets.

“We are reminding our residents to pleasegive responsibly. Parting with some loosechange at an intersection or outside the mallkeeps that individual on the street and there-fore vulnerable to the elements.

“Please make a concerted effort to supportshelters or other civic organisations in-stead, so that we can all contribute to mak-ing a meaningful difference in the lives ofthose who find themselves on the streets,”added Little.

Contact the City on 0800 872 201 to find outhow you can donate to organisations thathelp street people. Alternatively, SMS“Give” to 38802 to donate R10. The funds willbe used to supplement the street people pro-gramme.

Children help clean parkSASHIKA PILLAY

@Sashiipillay

As part of World Environment Day celebrat-ed on 5 June, the Acre Road CommunitySafety Patrol from Factreton embarked ona local clean-up operation.

World Environment Day was establishedby the United Nations to raise global aware-ness to protect the environment.

To honour this day, twelve children fromthe area around Glider Crescent park weregiven gloves and garbage bags to help withthe clean-up.

The aim of the clean-up was to tidy up thepark where the children play, as well as toprovide educational awareness. It was an in-itiative by Coby Lewis, a community leader.

Quinton Langeveldt, chairperson of the

Acre Road Community Safety Patrol, saysthe clean-up was successful as the park looksmuch better now.

“Illegal dumping is a major problem. Ourcommunity should take pride in the littleamenities we have.”

A local bakery provided lunch and re-freshments for those who helped.

Raymond Diedericks, vice-chairperson ofthe Patrol, says the park clean-up went byquickly but it was enjoyable to participatewith the children.

“We are grateful to all who assisted andcontributed,” says Langeveldt.

The Patrol plans on having more commu-nity participation events in the future toraise awareness and prevent illegal dump-ing as well as to make sure that communitiestake responsibility for their environment.

Children from Factreton picked up litter in Glider Crescent park while they learnt aboutprotecting the environment and keeping it clean as part of World Environment Day.
