CRIME
Safer summer seasonTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
This festive season will go down as oneof the safest in the Athlone police pre-cinct.
According to police, crime prevention ac-tivities, joint operations and increased pa-trols have led to a decrease in most crimesacross the precinct during the festive sea-son.For the period between Friday 19 Decem-
ber and Monday 5 January serious crimesdecreasedby 58.8%, contact crimedecreasedby 20% and property related crimes de-creased by 14.8% compared to the same peri-od in 2013.Athlone police spokesperson Sergeant Zi-
ta Norman says it was a joint community ef-fort to keep the streets safe.“We are very pleased with our festive sea-
son report. Theft decreased by 58% and thestation had one house robbery compared to2013 where there was a zero,” she says.“Neighbourhood watches, community or-
ganisations and authorities worked togeth-er to keep our area safe this festive season.Our additional reservists also played a bigrole inmaking surewehadenoughmanpow-er to tackle some of the problem areas.”In addition, increased patrols were
planned for the school holiday to keep chil-dren safe in crime-ridden areas.Athlone Community Police Forum (CPF)
chairperson, Edward Doe, agrees this hasbeen the safest December in years.“It wasn’t a crime-free December, but seri-
ous incidents decreased drastically. We did,however, experience a problem with illegalsubstance abuse, but we will address thisconcern during the year.”A spike in gang violence in the Heideveld
andManenberg communities forced author-ities to implement proactive measures toprevent further fatalities.More stop and searches, foot patrols and
raids are some of the measures police put inplace to improve visibility during the festiveseason.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant IanBennett says attemptedmurders andmurders in Manenberg increased as thepressure between two gangs reach its peakduring December.“Assaults and assault with the intention
to do grievous bodily harm also saw an in-crease andmost of these incidentswere alco-
hol-related and were mostly domestic vio-lence cases,” he says.Gang activity also increased inHeideveld,
which also saw the increase in attemptedmurders.Bennett says it was not clear why the vio-
lence between gangs spiked as randomshootings were reported regularly.“This was a concern for the station com-
mander and the station. We deployed moreofficers and had an integrated approachwhere Metro Police and Law Enforcementworked together,” he says.“This brought calm to the area for a short
period and we saw our first murder on Sun-day 4 January, when a 29-year-old man wasshot while driving his car down Thames Av-enue. It is alleged that he was a gangster,”he says.
The sounds of gang fire echoed dailythroughout the precinct in December, ac-cording to Bennett.For the period between Tuesday 16 De-
cember and Monday 12 January, eight mur-ders, 26 attemptedmurders and three car hi-jackings were reported.In addition, police also confiscated 12 ille-
gal firearms and thousands of litres of alco-hol.Manenberg CPF chairperson Kadar
Jacobs, says too many innocent lives havebeen lost since the beginning of the gangwarin November.“Our holiday programmes played a big
role in ensuring all children were safe dur-ing the December school holidays. The safe-ty of children in the community was a bigconcern for us. Children were playing in the
streets and bullets being firedwas a daily re-ality,” he says“Tension is so high between the gangs and
they shoot every day. People are too scaredto walk to the house shop, train station orthe main road to get a taxi because they feargetting caught in a crossfire.”Jacobs says serious action needs to be tak-
en to remove firearms and confiscate drugsfrom known gangsters in the area.“The only way for residents to be safe is
if you take the criminals’ power away,” ex-plains Jacobs.“Arresting themdoesn’t helpbecause they
are released the same day. More stop andsearches for drugs and guns needs to takeplace so that their power is taken away. Ifthey don’t have the guns or drugs therewon’t be trouble.”

Beach drownings at alltime lowThe 2014/2015 festive season will go downas one of the safest on record for the City’sbeaches.
This as the number of drowning inci-dents dropped significantly when com-pared with the previous festive season.
Three drowning incidents were record-ed on beaches for the festive season, be-tween September 2014 and January 2015,compared to 18 drowning incidents overthe same period in 2013/2014.
With tens of thousands of people on theCity’s beaches over the festive season,this is an extraordinary feat, says City ofCape Town Sport, Recreation and Ameni-ties Department director Gert Bam.
“We are pleased that the combined ef-forts of all role players have yielded suchpositive results.
The department’s extensive summersafety campaign helped to educate mem-bers of the public on basic safety tips toobserve when on the beaches.
In addition, law enforcement officershave been highly visible and have confis-
cated a substantial amount of alcohol,which helped to reduce the number of in-cidents associated with intoxication,” hesays.
The decrease in the number of drown-ing incidents is also reflective of the quali-ty of the lifeguard service provided byLifesaving Western Province and their as-sociated lifesaving clubs – particularlyover the weekends around Christmas andNew Year’s Day when a number of peoplewere assisted by the lifeguards on duty,Bam says.
“Despite the drastic drop, every drown-ing incident is one too many and each in-cident is documented and reviewed to en-sure that further precautions are taken toprevent such incidents from happening inthe future,” he says.
“Members of the public are reminded toswim only in designated swimming areasindicated by flags Law Enforcement offic-ers patrolling beaches to assist in ensur-ing that people swim only in designatedareas.
“We ask that all people respect the in-structions of both lifeguards and Law En-forcement officers and also report any ir-responsible behaviour in the water, suchas people swimming off the rocks, so thatthey can keep people safe.”
Here are some safety tips to keep youand your family safe:
• Always swim between the red and yel-low flags. These indicate safe, supervisedswimming areas. An area outside of theseflags could have dangerous rip currentsand tides.
• Only swim in areas where other peo-ple are present. Swim in groups and in-form friends or family when you go swim-ming.
• If you find yourself in trouble, raiseyour arm and wave to attract the life-guard’s attention. Try not to panic, as thiswill make you tired.
• If you see someone in trouble in thesea, alert the lifeguards or find trainedhelp. Do not put your own life in dangeras well.
MANENBERG
Renewed hope for youngstersSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Youth empowerment is a top priority fora new non-profit organisation (NPO).
The Silence Violence campaign wasstarted last year to combat the social illsplaguing impoverished areas in Cape Town.
Gangsterism, unemployment and crimeare some of the daily issues for Manenbergresidents, says chairperson Monique Ponto.
“The community of Manenberg live in a so-ciety where gangsterism and drugs is a socialburden that has and continues to affect fami-lies regardless of social status or ethnicalbackgrounds,” she says.
“Despite ongoing efforts from community
leaders and local government to raiseawareness and implement preventativestrategies to combat this social burden tothe ‘everyday man’, it may seem as thoughwe’re fighting a losing battle. This may betrue, but there cannot be enough emphasisplaced on raising awareness and educatingour youth about the consequences of drugabuse and violence.
The youth-driven initiative was foundedspecifically to educate youth about the dan-gers of drug abuse and gang violence, butmore importantly, empower the youththrough sport, motivation and education,thereby equipping them with the neces-sary knowledge, Ponto explains.
“The idea behind the campaign name,‘Silence Violence’ is an oxymoron in which‘silence’ refers to an end to violence bymaking noise, being vocal and addressingthe social burden at hand. So in an effortto assist in lessening this burden, RioGrande [Primary School] has became ourschool of choice to launch the Silence Vio-lence initiative,” she says.
During a contact session with pupils and
teachers in June last year, Silence Violenceofficials were informed of the harsh realitiesof violence and abuse.
“We did not realise how extensive thisproblem was until we conducted the schoolvisit. We gained a greater insight on the im-mense effects gangsterism has on our chil-dren. That a childlike innocence can be tak-en away instantly, the minute a child is ex-posed to an unpleasant environment,” shesays.
The group of prospective health practi-tioners feel obliged to become advocates ofhealth, especially in these areas.
“In doing this we cannot accept the cur-rent circumstances our youth are broughtup in. With that being said, Silence Violenceis a shared passion that we hold dear to ourhearts. It is for that reason that we have es-tablished the Silence Violence Campaign asa recognised NPO,” she adds.
The organisation’s vision is to contributeto lessening trauma and violence in disad-vantaged communities of the Western Capeby establishing a sustainable anti-violenceinitiative that educates and empowers the
youth, doing so in the hope of instilling asense of ownership in their futures.
“We intend on achieving our visionthrough monthly contact sessions with theGrade 6 and 7 pupils of Rio Grande. Thesesessions will comprise of three componentswhich is education, interaction and motiva-tion,” Ponto says.
“What makes the campaign unique is thatit is a youth-driven initiative, ‘for the youth,by the youth,’ and in keeping with this com-ponent we provide the youth with the oppor-tunity to give back to the community and as-sist in the fight against drug abuse and vio-lence in the Western Cape as a whole.”
The organisation is also asking like-mind-ed individuals to assist them in their questfor a better future.
Prospective volunteers, social workers,professionals in various career fields, es-teemed personalities in sports and the localentertainment industry are welcomed.
If you would like more information aboutthe organisation or if you would like to getinvolved, email [email protected].

Call for additional securityat Nantes parkTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
A spike in gang activity, drugs and alco-hol abuse at the Nantes Park has resi-dents livid.
Groups of youngsters are gathering in thepark throughout the day and are allegedlysmoking drugs in full view of park users.Residents say these activities have in-
creased over the holidays and they are nowdemanding security be improved.Ward councillor Suzette Little confirms
she has received many complaints regard-ing substance abuse at the Nantes.“The facility was built to provide a safe
recreational space for the community to useand grow, but from day one there has beenoneor twobadapples ruining the experiencefor others. This will not be tolerated,” shesays.“Wecannot allow the fewbadapples to dic-
tate our lives and we need to do that by tak-ing back our amenities and streets. We havesecurity and cameras in place at the Nantesbut they can’t be at all places at once.”Little has made an appeal to the public to
come forward with names and addresses ofthose suspected of using and selling drugsin the park.“The only way to do something is to con-
front the guilty ones or at least try and estab-lish who they are. We can’t protect peoplebecause I know that most people know whothese youngsters operating in the park are,but you only hear there is this one and thatone. Give names and addresses and then wecan take it further.”Little says there are currently four securi-
ty guards who patrol the Nantes Park inshifts along with assistance from theFriends of the Nantes.“We have four security guards. Two work
during the day and two at night. We will beimproving lighting in the park as well as re-lying on our neighbourhood watches to as-sist with patrols as it is a big area to cover,”she says.“We have been receiving a lot of help from
the Friends of the Nantes to ensure that nocriminal activity takes place in the park aswell as maintenance. I will be meeting withthe group later thismonth to establish an ac-tion plan for the Nantes.”A resident living close the park, who
asked not to be named, says he is disgustedby the things he has witnessed.“I take a walk in the park every day and
I see everything that goes on. Youngsterswalk in with bag packs and sits in a spot fur-thest from the gate. You can smell the daggain the air and if you tell them to move awaythey just ask who are you to tell them,” hesays.
“The smokers chase other children out ofthe park and people are scared to send theirchildren to the park alone. I have also heardthey are recruiting the kids who play in theskate park to sell their drugs.”Resident Ashlyn Goliath says she is con-
cerned about the safety of her children.“There are funny characters who hang
around in the park for hours almost everyday. They are very intimidating and alwayswatching the younger kids,” she says.“Children are so easily drawn into drugs
and crime these days and I don’t want mychildren to go down that park. I stoppedsending my children to the park for a whilebut why should I punishmy children. Theseyoungsters have no respect and don’t eventry to hide what they are doing where arethe police and security?”
Community Police Forum (CPF) chairper-son Azzizah Kannemeyer says the Nanteshas become a nightmare.“Drug lords have taken over the park and
security are too scared to reprimand theguilty people. There are a lot more childrenin the park during school hours and that isan increasing worry for us,” she says.“The recent community summer concerts
at the park have also been a big problem.People bring alcohol and drugs into the parkand party until late. This is a problem be-cause it encourages criminal activity andmakes it easier for drug dealers to hideaway.”Athlone police station commander Colo-
nel Krisjan Verwant says 15 arrests weremade and 50 litres of alcohol confiscatedfrom the Nantes during the festive season.
“Officers regularly patrol the area and aremonitoring activity in the park. We are incontactwith the local neighbourhoodwatch-es and conduct joined patrols and pamphletdrives for drug and alcohol awareness.”Verwant has also appealed to residents to
assist by walking in the park and reportingillegal activities.“It is important that all suspicious behav-
iour is reported,” says Verwant.V Do you think more security is needed? Starting withthe word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.SMSescost R1.

Swimmers urged to be on shark alertBeachgoers have beenwarned to be vigilantfor sharks during the summer season.This comes as the presence of great white
sharks in the in-shore areas increases thistime of year.The Fish Hoek shark exclusion net is be-
ing deployed and retrieved daily and SharkSpotters are monitoring identified beachesto ensure the safety of all visitors to in-shoreareas, council says in a statement.Since September, there have been 57
shark sightings at beaches monitored bythe Shark Spotters.There have been 36 sightings at Muizen-
berg Corner, seven at Fish Hoek, five atMonwabisi, three at St James, two at KogelBay, two at Glencairn, one sighting at TheHoek in Noordhoek and one at Clovelly.With the presence of great white sharks
at in-shore areas expected to increase overthe summer season, the City of Cape Townis ensuring that the necessary precaution-ary measures are being effected.Shark Spotters are monitoring identified
beaches.
The Fish Hoek exclusion net has provento be an effective shark safety measure bycreating a physical barrier preventing anysharks from entering the bathing area.Trials conducted during 2013 and 2014 in-
dicated that the risk to marine life remainsvery low.UntilMarch 2015 the FishHoek exclusion
net will operate on a daily basis, dependingon the weather.Weekends, public holidays and school
holidays will be prioritised.The exclusion net will not be deployed if
weather conditions (wind and swell) aredeemed to be unsuitable; this will be as-sessed on a daily basis.Ifweather conditions deteriorate over the
course of a day when the net is already de-ployed, the netmay be removed as a precau-tionary measure.Additionally, if there is a high presence
of whales or other marine mammals in thearea the net will not be deployed.The net will also not be deployed when
trek-netting is taking place in the area.

A taste of IndiaTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Beauty pageants should shift their focusfrom “looks to intellect”, believes thenew Mr India South Africa.
Mohammed Israar Osman, a 23-year-oldfourth-year law student at the University ofthe Western Cape from Rylands, returnedhome with the national title in December.He beat 13 other contestants and was the
first Capetonian to win the title of Mr IndiaSouth Africa at the pageant which was heldin Durban.Osman says he always wanted to make a
difference in people’s lives and this pageant,which focuses on nurturing young leadersinstead of looks, is what encouraged him toenter.“This pageant does not have looks as part
of the criteria to enter. I had to submit pic-tures when I entered. I also had to write anessay onhowour Indian andAfrican cultureintegrates,” he says.“I arrived in Durban a week before the
pageant andover fourdayswehad todovari-ous activities. We had to cook a traditionalIndianmeal andmet with the Indian consul-general. Judges looked at how we spoke andinteracted with different people.”
Osmansays if otherbeautypageants couldchange and operate from the same principlethen it would help the youth.The contest launched in 2011 and in order
to enter the competition, men have to be be-tween the ages of 16 and 30, a South Africancitizen and have a love for Indian culture.Themajority of participantswho enter the
competition are Indian, while others are ofmixed race.Osman is from a family with mixed-race
roots. His great-grandmother was a whiteAfrikaner, while his mother’s family hasMalay heritage.As title holder, Osman is expected to pro-
mote Indian culture at various events.“I have to show others what the Indian
community is and what we do. There’s a lotof diversity in the Indian community. Youget Muslim, Hindu, Christian and even Jew-ish Indians,” he says.“It’s important to me that we don’t have
segregation. We want to show that we canintegrate.Wecanmergeour IndianandAfri-can cultures. It’s something amazing. In Af-rican culture, there’s something calledubuntu, which is linked to brotherhood andthat is something that I would like to incor-porate that into everything.”Osman says Indians in South Africa grow
up following their culture strictly.“You need to be proud of your culture,” he
says.He further says he aims to continue chari-
ty work and social activism.“I now have a perfect opportunity to net-
work and create links with other charity or-ganisations.“I’m part of a group called People of Peace.
We spent time at orphanages and old-agehomes, to interact with people who staythere and make the day a bit better forthem,” Osman says.Osman says he was also very involved
with the Palestine issue.“I feel strongly about justice, as I’m a law
student. I believeSouthAfricans should sup-port the Palestinian struggle because it’svery similar to what we experienced underapartheid,” he says.“I’ve been to all themarches for Palestine.
I’ve also been involved in our university’sPalestine Solidarity Association. We organ-ised events with international speakers thisyear.”For the next year, organisers will expect
Osman to make appearances at variousevents, but he adds they have been madeaware that his studies come first.“My studies will come first. If there are
any events that I can’t make the two runner-up winners would attend,” he concludes.

Expert advice on how to save onschool supplies
Malls are abuzz with moms and schol-ars that are ticking off items from theschool’s stationery lists. Even more
stressful than cramped shopping malls isscraping together the money to get yourchildren school-ready after the carefreespending of the holiday season.Eunice Sibiya, head of consumer educa-
tion at a South African bank, says althoughmost of us prioritise saving for an educationunder the top three reasons to save, parentsoften factor in the large amounts such asschool uniforms and textbook fees and ex-clude or underestimate the costs of station-ary.“Costs can add up to R400 for one child
and this only factors in one of each station-ery item typically found on the stationarylist. The costs of one, let alone more thanone child, can easily leave you in a financialtight spot in January,” she says.Sibiya suggests the following ideas to
avoid going financially bust during theback to school season:
Bit by bit“Buying school supplies in bits and
spaced out over the year when you do yourmonthly or weekly grocery shopping islighter on the pocket than buying all theitems at once.Buy the basics of what your child will
need in January and purchase the rest later- this could be a saving grace after the De-cember festivities,” she says.It also gives you the opportunity to teach
your children about budgetingwith smalleramounts that they can wrap their headsaround.
Build it upA stationery cupboard or drawer means
that you will always have supplies readywhen the children run out of pens or exampads and it often works out cheaper as youcan capitalise on year-round specials, Sibi-ya says.Don’t forget to take stock of the children’s
stationery leftovers at the end of the year.“Children tend to want new supplies at
the beginning of each yearwhen theymight
still have items that canbeused in their cur-rent stationery tins. Reuse or swop theitems that are still usable amongst the chil-dren.”
Dual giftsThe use of technology is becoming ever
more present in the schooling environmentand although lower grade scholars mightnot need tablets yet, it is likely that theywillneed these devices and laptops from highschool. Instead of incurring the cost in thenewyear, be savvy andmake a birthday giftout of it.Alternatively, use a match-funding ap-
proach to teach your children the value ofmoney and the principle of delayed gratifi-cation.“Make the proposition that if your child
saves a half or third of the device cost, youwill come to the party with the additionalfunds, suggests SibiyaSuch techniques instil a savings culture
in your children andwill result in them tak-ing ownership in looking after their devic-es,” .
Plan aheadThe school year is filled with activities
that will require additional spending.To avoid last minute costs that need to be
incurred but were not budgeted for, drawup a rough estimation of what these costsmight tally up to by requesting your child’sschool calendar and planning around sport-ing season, school tours and school activityexpenses such as a Valentine’s ball or mat-ric dance.Based on this, decide on an amount that
can be set up as a scheduled transfer to yoursavings account at the beginning of eachmonth.On top of having peace of mind that there
are funds available, your money will alsogrow thanks to compound interest.“There is no reason to be caught off-guard
when it comes to the expenses that seemsmall relative to other school fees. A bit ofbudgeting and savvy savings techniquessuch as the above can go a long way,” con-cludes Sibiya.
Learn sign languageMake yourself heard with those who havehearing impairments, through a fun-filledsign language course.The course,which runsover 15weeks, ca-
ters for beginners with no sign languageexperience, and will
begin in early February. The classes willbe held in Kenilworth.For more information, you can contact

New action plan for AthloneTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Anew team of crimefighters have beenelected for the Athlone CommunityPolice Forum (CPF).
Current CPF chairperson Azizah Kanne-meyer says a chairperson along with a newexecutive will be elected for 2015 later thismonth.
Kannemeyer has lived in the area formore than 35 years and has been servingon various community organisations.
She says serving on the CPF committeegives her a solid base to pursue the chal-lenges the community faces.
“I am ready to take on the challenge andinvite the community to work with me.This is not a one-man show and I will wel-come any input,” She says.
She says once he has settled into the yearand become familiar with the neighbour-
hood watches needs, she aims to work ona plan of action.
“There are many organisations overlap-ping and I would like to establish every-one’s roles and get them to join forces. Thepeople of Athlone are suffering because ofcrime and are hurting. If everyone tryingto make a difference can work together, itwill strengthen the community and makea bigger impact.”
She says her first task will be to createa personal relationship and database withall interested parties.
“I want to take people by the hand andwork together. We shouldn’t all be doingour own thing. We need to combine safetyand security, education, youth organisa-tions and our religious structures and startworking on a plan to fight crime togetherso that it is one message being sent out. Weneed to have a united front,” she says.
Kannemeyer does not like working in
isolation.“I would like to work on the ground and
with the people out in the community.”Deputy chairperson Edward Doe says
the job is demanding and takes a lot of gutsand commitment to serve on a CPF, espe-cially in a difficult and challenging arealike Athlone, but thanks the team for theirdedication.
“A CPF is a very important role in thecommunity. The organisation serves asthe community’s voice during police mat-ters and is vital in ensuring residents re-ceive good service delivery from officers.We hold officers accountable and try to ed-ucate the community on the importance ofreporting crime,” he says.

Plan to improve matric passrate at Athlone schoolsTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Athlone schools will be devis-ing action plans to improvetheir pass rates after most
schools in the area experienced adrop during the 2014 national mat-ric exams.
Garlandale Secondary, Heide-veld Secondary and BridgetownSecondary all experienced an in-crease between 1.5% and 5.3% intheir pass rates.
At Bridgetown SecondarySchool, 121 pupils sat down for the2014 National Senior Certificateexams and 94 pupils passed givingthe school a pass rate of 77.7%, animprovement from the 72.4% passrate in 2013.
Deputy principal Cheryl Bolterssays they were anticipating a low-er pass rate, but are relieved andsatisfied with the outcome.
“After the September examina-tion we had noticed a drop in stu-dents marks and were concernedthat this could be an indication ofwhat was to come in the nationalmatric exams,” she says.
“We also had 22 pupils who wereaccelerated to matric, which wasanother case for concern, but de-spite these concerns we managedto improve on our previous matricpass rate.”
Bolters says pupils who werepassed to the next grade withoutbeing properly prepared is a majorcause for concern.
“In the new Curriculum Assess-ment Policy Statements (CAPS)pupils can only be held back oncein a phase. This means that if achild fails in grade 10 they can notbe held back again until matric,”she adds.
Garlandale Secondary Schoolachieved a 77.6% pass rate, whileHeideveld Secondary increased by1.7% going from a 81% pass rate in2013 to 82.7% in 2014.
Nationally, the matric pass ratedropped from 78.2% by 2, 4% fromthe previous year’s results, while
the provincial pass rate achievedwas 82.2%.
Provincial education ministerDebbie Schäfer congratulatedWestern Cape matriculants fortheir results and says the depart-ment is especially proud that theWestern Cape has again achievedthe highest percentage of bach-
elor’s passes in the country.“A total of 38.8% of learners
achieved this quality pass in theprovince. We have also improvedour Mathematics pass rate from73.3% to 73.9% and Physical Sci-ences decreased slightly by 1.9% to70.7%.”
As a result of social and gang-re-
lated issues, Manenberg schoolsexperienced the biggest drop inmatric pass rates.
Manenberg Secondary Schooldropped from 63.9% in 2013 to47.6% in 2014, while SilverstreamSecondary School experienced a39.1% decrease in their matric passrate.
Silverstream Secondary Schoolprincipal Leslie Pieters says the
school is extremely disappointedin their 30% pass rate, but saysteachers will continue to bringtheir “A-game”.
“We teach in very difficult cir-cumstances and the ongoing gangviolence has had a big affect on ourteachers and students,” he says.
“Despite all our challenges thestaff is very dedicated and we willcontinue to try our best.”
Pieters says the number of pu-pils passing is pupils who progressto matric without the proper foun-dation also affected the pass rate.
“This is a huge problem. If achild isn’t ready for matric but isaccelerated by the system thatchild is not properly equipped topass matric. We will have to goback to the drawing board to seehow we can help our pupils. We arealready busy with afternoon class-es and extra teaching time, but wewill have to come up with addition-al assistance.”
Rylands High, Alexander SintonSecondary and Belgravia Highschools all achieved above 80%pass rates despite all three schoolsexperiencing a drop in the 2014 re-sults. Rylands High dropped by1.7% and achieved a 95.4% passrate. The school also received 140subject distinctions and four pu-pils passed with seven distinctionseach.
Alexander Sinton SecondarySchool received a 94.3% pass rateand 98.1% in 2013.
Deputy principal Micheal Pe-tersen says the school is pleasedwith a 59.2% of bachelor passes.
Belgravia Secondary droppedfrom 90.1% in 2013 to 87.7% in2014. “Apathy and attitude to-wards their school work will playsa major role in their success at theend of the year,” Belgravia Second-ary School principal Andre Buissays.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516.

POOKE SE BOS
Settlement switched onTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Shackdwellers in Pooke se Bos were ec-static when they received new lightingand additional toilets just days before
Christmas.After 20 years of darkness, 136 dwellings
in the informal settlement received access toelectricity.
The total cost of the project is R80 000 andwill supply residents with sanitation andelectricity services.
Plans to improve the living conditions ofthese families have been coming along forthe past six years and residents say itcouldn’t have come at a better time.
Ward councillor Magadien Davids andMayor Patricia De Lille accompanied work-ers on Monday 23 December for the instal-lation of the new lights and additional toi-lets.
Davids says demands to improve the qual-ity of living conditions for shackdwellershave been an ongoing problem for years.
“Service delivery and housing will alwaysbe a sensitive topic. There has been numer-ous requests for us to better the living condi-tions of the shackdwellers over the yearsand I am happy that we were finally able toimplement the change,” he says.
“We have heard and listened to people’sconcerns.
“This project isn’t aimed [at] simply help-ing shackdwellers get access to descent sani-tation facilities and electricity. There aremany rape and muggings that take place asa result of the lack of lighting that it becamea priority to install proper lighting.”
Davids says in addition, the project alsocreated several job opportunities for some
unemployed residents from the Pooke se Bosinformal settlement.
Community worker Mavis Arendse sayssome of the families have been living with-out proper sanitation and sufficient electric-ity for more than 20 years.
“It is important that we create an inclu-sive community and create equal opportuni-ties for everyone,” says Arendse.
Resident Alex Charles says he fears thatby providing shackdwellers with access tobasic services it will only intrigue morebackyarders to move into the area.
“While it is good to see that the council isassisting people in need, I can’t help butwonder if this won’t encourage more back-
yarders to move into the community,” hesays.
Charles says where there are many newfaces entering the community there is usual-ly an increase in crime.
“I’m not blaming the backyarders but un-fortunately there are more break-ins wheremany backyarders live,” he says.
“There are constantly people coming inand out of the area claiming to visit peopleand because you never know how many peo-ple are actually living in the area, it is diffi-cult to keep track of who belongs and whodoesn’t.
“This is when residents are caught off-guard and rapes happen. I am very relieved
about the additional lighting.”Resident Joan Moses says for the first time
she was able to have her own cooked mealsfor Christmas.
We have been waiting so long for electrici-ty and now we won’t have to worry aboutfires. Candles and other fire bins alwayscaused fires and devastate the community.Now we can be more comfortable in ourhomes and have some more dignity re-stored.”
De Lille cut the ribbon and switched onthe main circuit for the lights to the informalsettlement.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Health tipsfor childrenIn the last-minute rush to make sure yourchild has his books, pencils and school uni-form ready, don’t forget to add a healthcheck-up to your to-do list.The City of Cape Town’s Health Directo-
rate has urged parents to add health checksto the list of ‘back-to-school’ preparationsfor their children, including vaccinations.According to the National Childhood Im-
munisation Schedule, children are giventhe tetanus and reduced strength of diph-theriavaccine (TdVaccine) at the ageof six,followed by another round at the age of 12,explains the City’s Mayoral Committeemember for Health Benedicta VanMinnen.“I want to urge parents to ensure that
their children receive these vaccinations,which are administered via an injection intheir upper arm. Prevention is always bet-ter than cure. Also, our clinics offer theseimmunisations free of charge.We still havea few days left before the academic yearstarts, so now is as good a time as any toget the vaccinations done for children whoneed to get these shots,’ she says.City Health staff are also well placed to
provide advice on good nutrition, which isa key focus of the directorate’s awarenessand education programme, Van Minnensays.“It makes sense to prevent more people
from getting sick, which is why we placesuch heavy emphasis on responsible be-haviour and good nutrition. Our staff canhelp parents with advice on finding a bal-ance for their child’s lunchbox that willpositively aid their growth and develop-ment, but also keep them healthy.“Child obesity is a grave concern around
the world, so we need to do everything pos-sible to promote healthy eating habits andexercise,” she says.

BRIDGETOWN
Electricity hiccupTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
A Bridgetown pensioner isstruggling to stretch her pen-sion money after spending
thousands to qualify for lower elec-tricity rates.Elizabeth Rodgers says she has
followed all the steps to qualify forlow consumption electricity rates,but all attempts to do sohave endedin disappointment.In December she made the deci-
sion to install a split cable from themain house to her tenants rentingin the separate entrance on herproperty. Rodgers says they weretold that putting in a split cable tothe separate entrance on theirproperty would help lower theirelectricity bill, but has had no ef-fect despite having to pay R20 000to install the cable.“We were told that after we put
in the split cable our monthly elec-tricity consumption had to be lessthan 450 units which is difficult to
achieve. But the City of Cape Towntold us a four-month review periodwill take place to monitor our con-sumption and then we would beable to go onto low consumptiontariffs,” she says.According to the City, there are
two possible tariffs available. Thetariff options are namely lifelineand domestic tariffs. If you use lessthan 450 kWh per month and havea property valued at less thanR300 000 with a prepaid meter, youqualify for the lifeline tariff. All
other consumers pay domestic tar-iff.Backyarders are supplied with
the lifeline tariff. However, shouldthe consumer exceed the 450 kWhper month average, they will bemoved to the domestic tariff, ex-plains Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Utility Services Ernest Son-nenberg.Domestic tariffs are calculated
in two blocks. The first block ap-plies to customers who use up to600kWh per month and charges
R1.42 per kWh. The second block,when more than 600 kWh is used,charges R1.73 per kWh. Lifelinetariff consumers pay 91c per kWhif they use less than 350 kWh orR2.10 if more than 350 kWh is used.Sonnenberg believes the billwas
racked up by high consumption.“It is most likely that the person
who had been charged more wasnot in the high usage bracket, buthad already exceeded the ‘cheapunit threshold’ on the lifeline tar-iff,” he says.

St Martin’s stun WestridgeYankeesJOSEPH PILLAY
The second half of the Western Prov-ince Softball Federation’s season re-sumed in all earnest at Turfhall Stadi-
um on Saturday.And while Falcons worked their way to
a hard-earned 6-4 victory against a gutsyKenfac Phillies side, Tantasport was equalto the task in beating VOB 7-4.
St Martin’s, meanwhile, turned the ta-bles in recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivals Westridge Yankees from Mitchell’sPlain in the Super League competitionthat had many fans smiling from ear toear.
However, coach Wayne May and his Gl-enthorn-Athlone side, still sporting an un-beaten run to date, were not in action butare well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine games with afull quota of 18 points in the bag.
They are two points ahead of second-placed Falcons (16 points) who have playedten matches to date.
Nonetheless, with St Martin’s havingdowned Westridge Yankees and causingthe latter to suffer their fourth defeat innine matches – Saints have moved up theladder to third positionwith 11 points from10 assignments.
Head coach Natasha de Klerk’s Yankeesleft it too late.
Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifth inning,Yankees awoke from a deep slumber andin the sixth batting frame registered theirfirst runs on the scoreboard when Aimee-Leigh Campbell, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams each crossed the homeplate.
However, the three runs were notenough to salvage a point or turn defeat in-to victory. Yankees is seemingly no longerthe team to beat in the league or the biggest
name in the game.Neither do they drive fear into opposi-
tion teams, leading to a number of hard-core softball fans questioning whether theclub will ever return to their former gloryagain and challenge for the title.
Besides Saints pitcher Lindsay Damonshowing her mettle on the mound, thehighlight of the Bishop Lavis side’s well-deserved victory was the solo circuit hit –the home run belonging to Elderisha Lan-genhoven, who batted 1-1.
Langenhoven was ably supported byNawaal Nacerodien, Bonita Cloete (threebagger) each 1-2, Danielle Ford and KimCloete (each 1-3) in which Saintssmacked five hits off Yankees pitcherMeg-an Cable.
Cable in her sixth inning earned fourstrike outs, but also struggled to find theplate as she conceded seven base-on-ballsand the scoreline could have been bigger
had it been that Saints left seven strandedbetween bases.
However,LindsayDamonheldhernerveand pitched a steady gamewith awellmar-shalled field that ably assisted her in al-most registering a shut-out victory to hername, considering that Yankees loaded thebases twice in the third and sixth framebutcould only once score runs due to poor bat-ting.
Damon, in her six inning contest,claimed two scalps and allowed three base-on-balls while she gave up three scatteredhits of which Aimee-Lee Campbell, GlynisKoopman and Roxanne Ohlsson fared bestfor Yankees with the bat.
Adding to the thrills and spills in theMa-jor League, Strandfontein Mets placed sec-ond on the log, beat Belhar Dolphins 11-0while Avendale and Normies shared thespoils 3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minuteshowdown.
