Abrahams, a father of two and mar- ried for the last 23 years, has been em- ployed in the South African Police Ser- vice for 30 years, spending almost all of them stationed at Manenberg police station. He says although it has been a chal- lenge to find balance between his per- sonal life and professional life, his fam- ily has been behind him all the way. “What I am trying to do is to not be a police officer at home. I do not want to police my family, because it is not a good thing, but they have been very supportive,” he says. After initially joining the police in April 1986 as a charge office clerk at Bellville Police Station, Abrahams was sent to the Bellville Magistrate’s Court as a court orderly. He then en- rolled at the police training college the same year, graduating as a constable. He was transferred to Manenberg po- lice station where he has been ever since. He would start out in the charge office be- fore being deployed in the uniform investi- gation unit, dealing mostly with petty crimes.

A total of 15 firearms have been confiscat- ed in the past three weeks and 17 attempted murders have been reported, confirms Ma- nenberg police spokesperson Lieutenant Ian Bennett. He also adds police and law enforcement agencies have saturated the area. “Additional police officers, including Law Enforcement officers, have saturated the hotspot areas by doing stops and searches and executing search warrants in the identi- fied hotspots,” Bennett explains. He says on Tuesday (12 April) at 23:30 po- lice members were patrolling the area around Beatrix Court when they noticed two suspicious males walking to the court. “(Police) managed to corner them and con- ducted a search. They searched the two boys aged 15 and 18 years old and found a 9mm pistol with three live rounds.” On the same day, at 10:30, Bennett says of- ficers of the Law Enforcement Stabilisation Unit received information regarding a fire- arm at an address in Stormsriver Road. “The officers found the five men in the house. They searched the premises and found a pis- tol, two magazines and 14 rounds of ammuni- tion. They also confiscated R19 700 in cash.” The five men, aged between 21 and 33, were arrested and will be appearing in court for the possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition soon. Provincial police spokesperson Lieuten- ant Colonel André Traut confirms the cur- rent warfare started at the end of March but did not confirm the amount of fatalities since the flare-up. “The figures provided cannot be confirmed due to the moratorium on the release of crime statistics.” Traut says they are grateful for the com- munity reporting crimes in the area. “The police get information from the community on a regular basis, which is much appreciat- ed. In fact, we would like to encourage the public to keep assisting the police with infor- mation in this way. Unfortunately there are incidents when police officers are attacked by community officers when they are doing their job.” Traut confirms during the period Thurs- day 31 March to Tuesday 12 April, 33 arrests were made in the Manenberg area during po- lice operations and 13 firearms with ammu- nition, of which five were automatic rifles, were confiscated. In further efforts to curb crime and focus on the gang war flare-up in the area, executive mayor Patricia de Lille says the City of Cape Town’s stabilisation unit was deployed to the area. “I have called the Western Cape police commissioner Major General Khombinkosi Jula to discuss the gang war taking place.

Even though it is the police’s pri- mary mandate to fight crime, the City will be making all possible resources available to assist their operations in Manenberg.” V Continued on page 2.

FROM PAGE 1Since last weekend, the City’s gang anddrug task team has been conducting raidsand sting operations,” De Lille says.The gang and drug task team and Stabili-

sation Unit confiscated three illegal fire-arms in Manenberg. The unit also arrestedfive suspects for the possession of drugs.De Lille explains the stabilisation unit

was launched in Manenberg last year forfour months during July and November,and they were then deployed to Ottery, Lav-ender Hill and other hotspots.“Fifty-eight officers of the Stabilisation

Unit have been redeployed to Manenbergand will be assisting the Gang and DrugTask Team with disruptive policing as wellas integrated policing operations. Jula hasconfirmed that the police will also deploy 36officers. We will be coordinating our ef-

forts,” she says.Law Enforcement confiscated four more

guns last week – three of which were foundin Manenberg.On Thursday 7 April, the Gang and Drug

Task Team arrested a 32-year-old suspectwith a .38 special revolver and four roundsof ammunition in Hanover Park. The sameteam later arrested a 26-year-old suspect forpossession of an illegal firearm and ammu-nition in Manenberg. Five other suspectswere arrested in Manenberg for possessionof narcotics.That same day, the Law Enforcement Sta-

bilisation Unit confiscated two firearms inManenberg.Maycomember for safety and security, JP

Smith, says the firearms will be sent awayfor ballistic tests.“There are far too many illegal firearms

on our streets. While I commend our offi-cers for their sterlingwork, I worry that thefour firearms taken off the streets are sim-ply being replaced by others brought intocirculation,” Smith says.He says “cracking the weapons supply

chain should be a critical part of policingefforts to quell gang violence”. “Once weroll out Shot Spotter inManenbergandHan-over Park, we will see a further increase inthe number of firearms confiscated.”Residents from Manenberg say they are

too scared to send their children to schoolduring the gang violence.Spokesperson for the Western Cape Edu-

cation Department (WCED) Jessica Shelversays they have not had any reports whereshootings have taken place on school prem-ises in Manenberg. “The principal of Ma-nenberg Secondary reported to our SafeSchools division that staff and learnersfound a body lying outside the schoolgrounds when they arrived about 07:20 onMonday morning. The learners did not wit-ness the shooting. The principal believedthat the incident was gang related.”Shelver says the school didnot require ad-

ditional support, as after the removal of thebody the area around the school was quiet.“Teaching and learning continued as nor-

mal. The principal will advise Safe Schoolson whether they need additional support.Safe Schools and the WCED are working

closely with schools and other partners toaddress school security and broader socialissues.“We have to adopt a ‘whole of society’ ap-

proach to deal with these issues,” Shelverexplains.Shelver says the department has invested

heavily in new “bullet reflective” fencing atManenberg schools, among other securitymeasures. “The fences, made of temperedsteel, are difficult to cut and difficult toclimbbecause of the ‘closemesh’ design.Ac-cording to our information, the fences willnot stop a bullet, but will deflect one, de-pending on the calibre of the bullet,” Shelv-er says.The WCED installed the fences following

gang violence in Manenberg last year. Thefencing has been installed at 12 of Manen-berg’s 14 schools. The other two schools al-ready have palisade fencing, Shelver says.“Safe Schools works closely with the po-

lice and the Metropolitan Police, who pro-vide security in the streets, when learnersare moving through the area before and aft-er school.”Western Cape Minister of Education Deb-

bie Schäfer is “extremely concerned regard-ing the flare-up of gang violence around ourschools in Bonteheuwel, Modderdam andManenberg”.“When there are reports of violence in a

certain area, schools implement their safetyplan. In terms of the Occupational Healthand Safety Act, every school must have asafety plan that meets local requirements,anda committee responsible for implement-ing the plan.”Schäfer says in recent events, schools in

Manenberg, Modderdam and Bonteheuwelhave followed their safety plans, and alertedthe authorities to the imminent threat out-side the school gates.“In the past, a strong police presence has

helped tominimise the number of incidentsreported. However, how can our police in-crease visibility when they are highly un-der-resourced?” questions Schäfer.She says the WCED is doing all it can to

protect pupils while on the school property.“Our schools, learners and educators

need all our support in these very tough andchallenging times,” she says.

FROM PAGE 1“I worked there for about three years,then in 1992 the unit was disbandedand at the time, our station command-er here, Arno Lamoer, gave us a choiceto stay in the detective environment orgo back to uniform, driving policevans. I wanted to be a detective.”

Abrahams specialised in violentcrimes, particularly those related togang activity.

The recent upsurge in gang violencedoes not surprise Abrahams at all, andhe says the pattern has been a hard oneto break down over the years.

“The gang violence is a recurringthing. We are living in a communitywhere people are in need of resourcesand these gangsters are taking advan-tage of that. The youngsters want to bein with the gangs and these people sup-ply them. They will take over yourhouse in exchange for money. This hasbeen going on since I have been here.Now, 30 years later, it is still happen-ing,” he adds.

He feels people need to have a shiftin mindset as the police cannot do thisalone. “This is a thing where police, so-cial crime, correctional services ... allneed to work together to help changethe minds of the people in the area.”

He says the best part of his job is see-ing a case through to the courts and ob-taining a conviction. “To see that thevictim is satisfied with the work I putin, is definitely thebest thing there canbe for what I do,” he said.

Although he says he never wanted toleave Manenberg police station, he didadmit to having put in a transfer ortwo during the earlier years. “I startedto like working here – not that I thinkother people in other places do notneed more specialised help, but towork with these people is satisfyingand rewarding.”

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

Police have confirmed that gangs are de-ploying their own reinforcements into

areas where the current gang war is takingplace.

The upsurge in gang violence regardingterritory started in Tambo Village on Thurs-day 31 March between the Hard Livings andDixie Boys gangs in the area.

According to Lieutenant Ian Bennett,spokesperson for Manenberg police, thegang conflict continued and affected the oth-er gangs, namely the Americans and theClever Kids, which compounded the situa-tion into a full scale gang war.

Police have since beefed up their presencein the area along with the help from the Cityof Cape Town’s stabilisation unit to focus onareas notorious for gang activity. However,the situation has escalated to the point thatthe gangs themselves have also called fortheir own reinforcements, with Bennett con-firming that arrests have taken place where-by the suspects – all known gang members– do not hail from the immediate area.

“There are people who are being arrestedand brought in for questioning who havecome from outside the Manenberg area.There is nothing that we can do about that,because then we will be violating people’sconstitutional rights in terms of freedom ofmovement,” says Bennett.

He urged community members to callthem on any of the emergency numbers ifthey see any suspicious people who are notfrom the area, in order for them to respondand deal with the situation. “Anybody withinformation that leads to the successful ar-rests and confiscation of firearms will be re-warded financially.”

Meanwhile, in a provincial police addressto the media last week, Major General Jer-emy Veary said police have stepped up ef-forts inmonitoring communicationbetweenprison gangs and those found on the outside.

“We have picked up and have had success-es in that (social media) terrain in the useof Facebook, in the use of WhatsApp andthose things are there for being looked at.”

He went on to say that using informationobtained on a social platform would not al-ways be enough in order to affect a convic-tion.

Western Cape police commissioner, MajorGeneral Khombinkosi Jula, also addressedfears that police resources are beingstretched, saying that the issue is “receivinga note of attention and is being taken veryseriously”. “We know that it is not going tobe possible to have police who will be availa-ble in all places at the same time. It is forthat reason that we have an integrated ap-proach. We are mobilising the community,we are mobilising the Metro Police, we aremobilising the CPF, a number of other stake-holders and even the churches to work to-gether.”

Jula says various operations within thearea will be ongoing and that the deploy-ment of provincial forces in the area will as-sist in reassembling a high-risk task team,which will be on hand for future and addi-tional interventions.

The issue of harbouring gang memberswas also a hot topic amongst the police, withBennett reiterating that those who are notgang members, but are found to be assistingthem, will be dealt with in the harshest pos-sible manner. He confirmed there have beentwo arrests where community memberscould not account for their legally licensedfirearms, only to have those firearms re-

trieved from known gang members.“People should not criminalise them-

selves by thinking they are doing other peo-ple a favour by lending out or renting outtheir firearms, or harbouring people whohave been involved in criminal activity. Ifthey do this and they are found by us, theymust not expect any leniency from the po-lice,” Bennett says.

Manenberg Safety Forum (MSF) chairper-son Roegshanda Pascoe says despite the sta-bilisation unit being sent into the area, it isstill not enough. “The unit needs to take aproactive approach. They only respond aftershootings have taken place. The gangs areclever and are causing diversions to throwthe stabilisation unit off course as well.”

She explains diversions are caused whengangs shoot inonepart ofManenbergbut the“real threat is then caused on another endafter the police and unit responds to wherethe shooting occurs”. Pascoe says althoughpeace talks were held on Sunday, “this is toget the unit out of the area”.

“Gangs do not want police in the area be-cause it doesn’t allow them to continue withtheir activity. So now after the talks wereheld people are happy but they are beinglured into a false sense of security,” Pascoesays. “This can be very dangerous becauseeven after the talks last night, one could stillhear shots being fired right through Manen-berg. “

Pascoe says she also fears for vulnerablechildren during this time. “When thesegangs go quiet it’s then that they are recruit-ing because they lost many men during thistime. This is why it is so important for usto host the upcoming imbizo on Friday 20and Saturday 21 May,” she says.

A venue for the imbizo was set to still beconfirmed by the time of going to print.

SLAVE ROUTE CHALLENGE

Honour heritagestep by stepEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The annual Slave Route Challenge whichsees runners being taken on a route that

encompasses an array of South Africa’smost historical sites, has become a favour-ite on the calendar of novice and elite run-ners alike.The race, taking place on

Mother’s Day (Sunday 8May), however has a muchdeeper and more personalmeaning, says event spokes-person Fatima Allie.Having been born in the

Bo-Kaap, Allie was raised inWalmer Estate and went toschool in District Six and isa self-professed defendant ofthe Cape Malays. “When itcomes to the Slave RouteChallenge itself, we look atour ancestors who camefrom Indonesia, Java andMalaysia. They were theones who came with all theskill. They were the build-ers. So my ancestors werenot slaves per sé, my ancestors were exiledfrom Indonesia to the Cape.”She goes on to say that because the slaves

were forced to work and interact with otherlabourers brought to the area, that is howall the cultures started to mix and that asa result started to weave the fabric whichmeshes South Africa’s rich history. “If youlook around, the oldest standing building isthe Castle of Good Hope. The Castle of GoodHope was built by the slaves. You look atCity Hall and the Grand Parade, all of these

iconic and old places and structures inCapeTown were all built by the slaves. Then yourealise that there are so many historicalsites throughout Cape Town that people didnot even know of,” adds Allie.Besides the historical aspect the race af-

fords itself to, Allie says that there is anamazing atmosphere of togetherness onrace day. “It is the spirit ofUbuntu that you

feel. You will see a grand-mother who has never everwalked (in an event) in herentire life. She is now walk-ing the 5km with her grand-children because her daugh-ter and her husband are go-ing to be running the 10kmwhile their teenager is run-ning the 21km, so this is afamily event. It is about peo-ple coming together from allwalks of life, all religious de-nominations.”Allie reminded those who

still wish to participate inthe 21km race need to enteronline no later than Sunday24 April. She confirmed thatthere will still be opportuni-

ties to enter the other three events (5km funrun/walk, 10km run and 10km big walk) onSunday 1May aswell as Friday 6 and Satur-day 7 May at Cape Town’s City Hall.“Come and explore this whole journey of

the Slave Route Challenge where you runthrough the Castle, District Six, and Gar-dens, through the Bo-Kaap and the SeaPoint area and back onto the Grand Paradewhere you can see the beauty of CapeTown.”V To enter visit www.iamrunningfor.co.za

ming gala soon, so watch this space. Thankyou all from the CPF project planing team,”she said.

Racing for safer streetsTIYESE JERANJI

Women from different organisations arein a race to win against gender-based vio-lence and abuse.Brave.RUNwill be takingpart in a 30km

run from Khayelitsha to Cape Town topromote a culture of non-violence in socie-ty – especially against women and chil-dren.The race will take place on Saturday 23

April.Transport will be provided to runners

who plan to complete the entire route, de-parting fromHeritage Square to Khayelit-sha at 07:00.Organised by Rock Girl, a grassroots

movement that inspires, encourages andinvests in women and girls, the event hasbeen inspired by the tragic deaths of twoteenage girls, Sinoxolo Mafevuka fromKhayelitsha and Franziska Blochligerfrom Tokai (“Gender violence outcry”,People’s Post, 12 April).Both girls were brutally raped andmur-

dered just a few metres from their fami-lies.The races also looks to create awareness

about the countless women who have ex-perienced violent verbal and physical at-tacks.Founder of Rock Girl, India Baird, race

organiser Linda Doke and runner LynnDavis have committed to creating a cul-ture of non-violence, andwill come togeth-er with other runners to complete the30km course through the streets of Khaye-litsha, Mitchell’s Plain, Nyanga, Gugulet-hu, Manenberg, Lavender Hill, Rylands,Langa and Woodstock, passing police sta-tions in each area and ending at the RockGirl benches on Heritage Square in CapeTown.Brave.RUN is inviting women, girls,

boys and men from all communities tojoin in along the way, running or walkingfor a few metres or kilometres.

Check points and water stations will beat police stations in each area, and trans-portwill be providedat eachpolice stationto take runners who need lifts into town.Baird believes the race sends amessage

of support to all women and girls, no mat-terwhere they live, letting everyonealongtheway know that they are not afraid, butunited.“Weare hoping that theBrave.RUNwill

become an annual event. Rock Girls,trained as youth reporters and photogra-phers, will follow the run in an overlandtruck sponsored by Africa Travel Co, in-terviewing girls and women along theway about the conditions in their neigh-bourhoods and the challenges they facedaily.”Cape Town is host to some of the most

beautiful runs in theworld – from theTwoOceansMarathon to theCapeTownMara-thon, as well as extraordinary trail runslike the Table Mountain Challenge.Elite runners, including Linda Doke,

have committed to running this event.“We have some of the most beautiful

places to run, butwe also have the highestincidence of violence in the world againstgirls and women – ourmost beautiful citi-zens. For one day, let’s come together tomake the streets safe for everyone, every-where across Cape Town.”Baird says the race is an important one

for the girls they work with.“Rock Girl was inspired by a group of

Grade 5 girls who weren’t able to partici-pate in the after school running pro-gramme because of gang violence andabuse from older boys andmen. This racedemonstrates the girls ongoing commit-ment to making their own communities,and all of SouthAfrica, safe for everyone.”Rock Girl is partnering with the travel

and tourism industry, as well as with art-ists and designers to create safe spaces forall people across Africa.V Contact Baird on 082 734 4569 or email [email protected].

Rock Girl members pictured (from left) Mickayla Sauls, Tamsin Liebenberg, MeganJohnson, Linda Doke, Nazeerah Abrams, India Baird, Zoe Hendricks, Audery February,Amahn Heuwel and Theslin Liebenberg, are teaming up for the Brave.RUN to say enoughis enough on gender based violence and abuse.

Funds from St Luke’s Hospice’s Open Day will go to patient care.

Women paving their way to the topCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A team of six women are takingit to the streets to do their jobs

“better than men”.The City of Cape Town recently

introduced its all women teamfrom Heideveld – who fix potholesand do maintenance work on foot-ways and stormwater pipes – andthe energetic team say they aremore than capable of doing theirjob better than men.This all-female roads-repair

team is the fourth to be appointedby the City of Cape Town and ispart of the Women at Work Pro-gramme. The programme has beennominated for the fourth annualWomen in ConstructionAwards inthe category for the most innova-tive programme.

The all-female roads repair teamis based at the Transport for CapeTown (TCT) depot in Heideveldand has been appointed as part ofthe Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP) within TCT to re-pair and do maintenance in Hei-develd, Manenberg, Tambo Vil-lage, Athlone, Surrey Estate andthe areas adjacent to Jakes GerwelDrive.

Mayco member for Transport,Brett Herron, says the programmeis to empower women in the work-place.

“Women at Work is a gendertransformationprogrammewithinTCT which is collaboratively im-plemented by the TCT TrainingAcademy, the EPWP and selectedroads depots across the city. Thepurpose of this programme is to

empower women in the workplaceby providing them with skills formanual work that is generally as-sociated with men,” he says.With the skills and entrepre-

neurial abilities they develop dur-ing the 10-month employment peri-od, these women will be betterequipped to find placement in thepermanent job market, Herronsays.

The team was established inMarch 2016 and consists of Kash-iefa Beck (34) from Heideveld,Nomzamo Feni (43) from Gugulet-hu, Joyleen Melton-Gordon (40)from Heideveld, Pumla Mfana (39)from Gugulethu, Ilhaam Ely (39)fromHeideveld and Akeelah Abra-hams (34) from Heideveld.

They follow in the footsteps ofthe all-female teams of the TCT de-

pots in Ndabeni (introduced in Au-gust 2015), Fish Hoek (introducedinNovember 2015), andKuilsRiver(introduced in February 2016).

“The team from Heideveld nowcounts among the 24 pioneers of along-term process whereby theCity is tackling gender transforma-tion in the transport realm. Wom-en are generally under-represent-ed in the transport sector – for ex-

ample, within TCT, womenconstitute only 3,4% of those in-volved with the physical mainte-nance of roads and stormwater in-frastructure,” he explains.Herron says he is confident that

this project will assist in changingperceptions about the type of workthat women can do.The fourth annual Women in

Construction Awards will takeplace in Johannesburg on Tuesday10 May.“The City is extremely proud of

this programme. I am confidentthat it will also be recognised on anational level as one of themost ad-vanced and game-changing gendertransformation projects in thecountry,” Herron says.The women underwent a physi-

cal assessment to test their abilityto perform the type of work re-quired and they were interviewedand evaluated by members of thedepot management.“A total of 24 women would have

benefitted through the Women atWork Programme by the end of thefinancial year. We have spent ap-proximately R1m on this pro-gramme. We now aim to establish10 all-female roads repair teams ac-commodating another 60women inthe next financial year,” Herronadds.The 24 women will exit the pro-

gramme on Thursday 30 June.Thereafter, TCT will embark on anew recruitment process to findcandidates to replace them, as wellas to expand the programme witha further six teams situated at oth-er suitable roads depots across thecity..

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

Following instructionOver the years I have been askedmany times whether an employercan dismiss an employee, if theemployee refuses to obey an in-struction that falls outside oftheir job description?

This has always been a trickyquestion as the employee’s job de-scription is not always clearlyand precisely defined in their em-ployment contracts.

It is a well-known fact that em-ployees have a duty to act in goodfaith at the workplace, includingthe duty of employees to be subor-dinate and to comply with the in-structions of the employer in re-gard to their duties and work.

Employers have, however, de-veloped job descriptions in orderto allocate certain responsibili-ties to certain employees and tocreate a framework to promote ef-ficiencies and to ensure accounta-bility. The question remains, towhat extent does this impact anemployee’s refusal to performcertain tasks which fall outsidethe scope of their job description?

In Noosi vs Exxaro Matla Coal(June 2015), the Labour Court ad-dressed the issue of insubordina-tion and confirmed an importantlegal principle in regard thereto.

The case involved an electri-cian who had refused to obey theinstructions of the senior fore-man – to cease the operation of aconveyor belt which was operat-ing in dangerous conditions. Theemployee was charged with, interalia, gross insubordination anddismissed. He referred the matterto the CCMA, where the commis-

sioner found that the employeracted appropriately and as a re-sult the dismissal was fair. Theemployee then took the matter onreview where the Labour Courtfound that the test for insubordi-nation is not whether the instruc-tions fall within the job descrip-tion of the employee, but ratherwhether the instructions werereasonable and lawful. The courtheld and supported the position.

Should it be shown that the in-struction was unlawful, it wouldbe the end of the inquiry. If it isfound that the instruction waslawful, the expectation is that theemployee, to whom such instruc-tion was issued, should have com-plied. It will have little, if any, todo with whether the instructionis related to the employee’s job de-scription because it will never bea justification for an employee torefuse lawful instructions merelybecause the instructions are nothis or her direct functions.

This has a two-fold lesson forboth the employer and employee:

. Employers should regularlyensure their employees’ job de-scriptions are accurate.

. Employees still have an over-riding duty of good faith to theiremployers, whether the instruc-tion falls within their job descrip-tion or not, and a failure to com-ply with instructions which arereasonable and lawful may be suf-ficient grounds for dismissal.V This column was contributed by DenzilJacobs, an admitted advocate with ex-pertise in commercial law.

LETTERS

Love isn’t divisionI would like to comment onDallas Broughton’s letter inPeople’s Post of 3 April(“No mercy for those whorape, murder”).

It is hard to fathom thatMr Broughton believes abetter world can comeabout when what heproposes is but replacingone evil with another.Creating even more divi-sion in society than therealready is can only contrib-ute to more of the sameproblems, no solutions.

I believe that it is onlywhen I can let go of my

fear and take a genuineinterest in another fellowhuman being that changecan possibly come about.To condemn another’sactions is to not under-stand. Love does not divide.Trust begets trust. I, too,can fail and go astray. Thepotential for evil is also inme.

May Mr Broughton oneday find that where loverules the world is changed,one small but significantmoment at a time.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz

Former District Six residents are tired ofpromises and want action in their quest

for restitution for their forcible removalfrom the area in the 1960’s.At a meeting hosted by the District Six

WorkingCommittee (D6WC), held on Satur-day at theBlackpool Sports Club in Salt Riv-er, the hall was packedwith people fromdif-ferent historically disadvantaged commu-nities.They came to hear how urban restitution

should be approached and implemented byall the relevant stakeholders in a holisticfashion, starting with the healing process.Some of the important guest speakers in-

cluded Diana Oliver from the RestitutionFoundation, Amelia September and MarioWanza of theManenberg People’s Forum aswell as local councillor Achmat Williams.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the organi-

sation, said it is important that committeeimpress upon theminister of rural develop-ment and land reform, Gugile Nkwinti; theCity of Cape Town and all relevant stake-holders to develop the entire 30 hectare va-cant land in District Six immediately andsimultaneously, starting with the thirdphase which is currently in progress.“The idea is to build as many four-story

apartments to accommodate as many resti-tution beneficiaries,” he said.“The emphasis is on densification with

sufficient public spaces and greenery.”The urban park in Searle Street border-

ing Woodstock and District Six – as well asthe adjacent Trafalgar swimming pool – al-ready serves as open public spaces in prepa-ration for those thousands of people comingback to District Six, Ajam explained.Anothermatter discussedwas a dignified

and equitable financial compensation pack-age for those not wanting to return or want-ing alternate land.There is some urgent action to take place

with regard to the Good Hope Centre, Ajamsaid.“We will legally oppose the City of Cape

Town in court for closing the doors of theGoodHope Centre to the public threeweeksago when the City voted unanimously to

lease it out to a foreign TV company for thenext two years.“The committee and its coalition part-

ners launched an urgent application tocourt last week,” explained Ajam.Also discussed was the need to identify

state-owned land within the city peripheryfor those who cannot be accommodated inDistrict Six.“Urbanisation is rapidly increasing and

everybody has a right to the city especiallythose who were previously evicted and dis-possessed during the apartheid era,” saidAjam. “Integration in the inner-city spaceis paramount. The walls of racial and spa-tial segregation can be broken down in Dis-trict Six.”Members also passed a unanimous reso-

lution to the effect that the reference group(who represent the approximately 1000 ben-eficiaries who claimed between 1995 to1998), be fused with the D6WC and form oneentity that will speak with one voice for allthe people.The D6WC has a mandate to represent

over 300 families and is already a legallyregistered entity with the Department ofTrade and Industry aswell aswith the Intel-lectual Property Commission.Finally theD6WC, in addition to assisting

the people of District Six, also assist manyother previously disadvantaged communi-ties with their respective restitution claimsin areas like Ndabeni, Pinelands, Constan-tia,Goodwood,NewlandsClaremont andSi-mon’s Town.“To push the envelope even further the

D6WC is planning a major march to parlia-ment during July to create an awareness tolocal, provincial and national governmentthat the people are serious about dignityrestoration and coming back to the city,sooner rather than later,” said Ajam.“It must not come to a point where, be-

cause government is stalling unnecessary,that the people will start to occupy the va-cant land in District Six soon and buildtheir own make-shift houses while waitingfor the powers-that-be to make up theirminds.The people are gatvol of waiting forover 21 years now.”V For more information about the committee call021 801 8437 or email [email protected]

sie agter Ek missie Ses wat opSaterdag 30 April om 10:00 enop Sondag 1 Mei om 21:00 indie KykNET-teater as deelvan die Suidoosterfees te siensal wees.Die produksie kombineer

vertel. In plaas daarvanomdienegatieweas-pekte vanDistrik Ses uit te lig, fokus die tea-terstuk eerder op hoe mense geraak is deurhul eie ervaringe en hoe hulle vorentoe kyk,of vasgevang bly in die verlede.Allison Hendricks, direkteur en choreo-

graaf, en Leslie Javan, musikale direkteur,het saam gewerk om verskeie uitvoerendekunste bymekaar in Ek missie Ses vas te

werk.Poësie beklemtoon die krag

My life was a mess, Ihad big debts, working for 5 years with nomoney, that time my boyfriend had left me,he used a crystal ball eye and gave me amagic ring which helped me. My boyfriendcame back and I am now financially stable.My court cases were dismissed and I livehappily now.

Have you been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease?

What’s involved?

You travel in to Stellenbosch University medical campus next to

Tygerberg hospital for 3 visits

At the visits:

We ask you questions about your health and lifestyle

We do some brain tests (like puzzles) with you

We do physical exams (like your blood pressure and weight)

We take bloods (like cholesterol and glucose)

We do an optional brain scan

After each of the visits we give you money for travelling costs

After your visits you will get a report about your general health

(like your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and weight).

The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Stellenbosch

Are you interested?

Steenberg shines in charity driveThe Steenberg Golf Club’s Ladies section

has set a solid benchmark at the startof this year’s club competitions for the

Sanlam Cancer Challenge as they raisedR19 000 in the effort to support the CancerAssociation of South Africa (Cansa).

The Sanlam Cancer Challenge is South Af-rican golf’s biggest charity drive in the fightagainst cancer and has teed off its 23rd yearat golf clubs around the country, with thou-sands of amateur golfers joining together totry and beat the over R3.5m raised last year.

From March to July, amateur golfersaround South Africa will take part in theirlocal golf club’s Sanlam Cancer Challengegolf dayswith the double aimof raisingmon-ey for CANSA as well as trying to qualify fortheir respective regional finals.

The winners of the regional finals, whichwill be played from July to August, will thenqualify for the National Finals to be playedon both the Gary Player Country Club andLost City Golf Club courses at Sun City from9 to 2 October.

And in this shared spirit of being proact-ive in the battle against cancer, 48 golfersfrom the Steenberg Ladies section did theirbit to work together as “Wealthsmiths” forthe greater good of their community.

“The Sanlam Cancer Challenge is a popu-

lar event on the Steenberg Ladies golf calen-dar. There has always been overwhelmingsupport of this fundraising initiative atSteenberg as many of our members are can-cer survivors whilst others have lost friendsand family members to this illness,” said DiBrooks, Steenberg Ladies committee mem-ber.

“The Sanlam Cancer Challenge repre-sents not only an opportunity to raise fundsfor a worthy cause but also for our membersto compete regionally and nationally. Steen-berg members have historically done well inthe Regional Finals and last year two of ourmembers, Peter Terrblanche and Gwen Or-tlepp, qualified for the finals, with Gwen fin-ishing second in the A Division nationally.It was a fantastic opportunity for these play-ers to play at Sun City and to meet a numberof interesting players from around the coun-try.”

The purpose of the Sanlam Cancer Chal-lenge is to raise funds and awareness annu-ally for the fight against cancer. In 2015, atotal of 35 863 golfers played in 780 club com-petitions held around the country in supportof CANSA’s prevention programmes and pa-tient care support throughout the year.V For more information visit www.sanlamcancerchal-lenge.co.za

Last year South African golfers helped toraised R3.5m for CANSA through theSanlam Cancer Challenge.
