    TAFELSIG: NPO A HELPING HAND FOR MANY

    Digging in their heels

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    A

    handful of Tafelsig residents are hell

    bent on having a community organisa-

    tion evicted.

    However, community workers insist they

    will do everything in their power to prevent

    this from happening.

    Joining Hands has been operating from a

    container in Voelvlei Street for 25 years.

    What started as just a soup kitchen, has

    grown into an educare, madrassah, youth

    development centre, church and a meeting

    place for many other community organisa-

    tions.

    All of this was threatened when the City

    of Cape Towns Anti-land Invasion Unit, the

    Department of Social Development and

    health inspectors recently visited the

    premises.

    Lungiswa James, Mayoral Committee

    member for Health, says the City did not re-

    ceive any formal complaints. However, a

    complaint lodgedwith theprovincial depart-

    ment of social development was brought to

    the attention of the Citys health depart-

    ment. The complaint received related to the

    manner in which waste was being disposed.

    A trench had apparently been dug behind

    the facility for this purpose after the last vis-

    it by City officials inMarch, when the waste

    was disposed at a house next door. Environ-

    mental Health is in the process of serving a

    compliance notice in this regard, James

    says. The group of residents who lodged

    complaints against the organisation de-

    clined the opportunity to comment.

    Heading the organisation is Charles de

    Long. TheTafelsig resident believes the reg-

    istered NPO plays a vital role in uplifting

    residents living nearby.

    This is a base for somany community or-

    ganisations including the street committees

    and neighbourhood watch. Without these

    premises, many safety structures will have

    no base from which to operate, he insists.

    De Long confirms the trenchwasmade for

    compost waste.

    Neighbourhood watch member Yumna

    Genever reiterates this. It is crucial for us

    to have a meeting place before we head for

    the streets to patrol. It is very upsetting that

    ahandful of residents cannot see thebenefits

    reaped, she stresses.

    KashiefaHarris of theAidsLegalNetwork

    in Mitchells Plain says the network often

    uses the premises for community meetings.

    He doesnt charge us a cent. Because of him

    we are able to provide essential services and

    workshops to this community.

    Tafelsig resident Rosaline Scholtz has

    been living in the area for five years more

    than the organisation has been in operation.

    The 64-year-old woman says many people

    rely on the soup kitchen for their dailymeal.

    Many of us will go to bed with an empty

    stomach if it were not for the soup kitchen

    and the good work of these volunteers, she

    says. I live off my pension which does not

    see me through the month. I therefore rely

    on the soup kitchen like many others.

    Resident Amy Macaties (69) says the or-

    ganisation tries to assist everyone. But the

    reality is it cannot. However, Charles tries

    as far as possible to assist those in need.

    Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committee

    member for Community Services and Spe-

    cial Projects, says the organisation is occu-

    pying City-owned land and is not in a lease

    agreement with the City.

    Mayoral Committee member for Social

    Development Suzette Little encourages the

    educare to register.

    2 NEWS

    CRIME: OUTRAGE AT MOMS ABANDONING NEWBORNS

    Babies dumped in Mitchells Plain

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    D

    iscarded like dirt. Robbed of a future.

    This is the tale of babies left to die

    after being dumped in a trash can.

    But there are alternatives.

    Two newborn babies were found dumped

    in Mitchells Plain last week, causing out-

    rage in the community.

    Many residents questioned how a mother

    could dump her baby, but Desriee Uys from

    ChildWelfare Cape Town says there are sev-

    eral risk factors which may cause mothers

    to resort to such extremities.

    Reasons include poverty, alcohol and

    substance abuse, domestic violence, teenage

    pregnancies, HIV, mental illness as well as

    unplanned pregnancies, he says.

    She says these factors are coupled with

    the issue that many youngmothers are una-

    ware of options available to them, including

    adoption, foster care and child support.

    Department of Social Development

    spokesperson Melany Kuhn says social

    workers can be called in at State facilities

    to assist with alternative care options. The

    mother is counselled in terms of her options

    for alternative care andgiven time to consid-

    er such alternatives, be it adoption, foster

    care with extended family or post-natal

    mother and child support, she says.

    The child can be placed into temporary

    safe care while the matter is resolved with

    the biological mother. One has to consider

    the likelihood of the mother changing her

    mind, and therefore a process of counselling

    and explaining all her options is necessary.

    One of the newborns was discovered in a

    dirt bin at the Town Centre bus terminus in

    Mitchells Plain on Thursday.

    A passerby is believed to have made the

    grim discovery while dropping a sweet pa-

    per into the bin on Thursday morning.

    The baby boy was found at 08:23.

    Police arrived at the scene shortly thereaf-

    ter. Peoples Post visited the scene where po-

    lice officers and security guards gathered.

    Curious commuters looked on as police of-

    ficers cordoned off the area.

    The provincial forensic pathology servic-

    es department arrived at the scene at 10:20.

    Mitchells Plain police spokesperson Con-

    stable Zandile Marashula says the newborn

    found in a dirt bin at the Town Centre was

    alive when it was dumped.

    After a preliminary investigation was

    completed, an inquest case docket was

    opened. At that stage the post-mortem was

    not yet completed, she says. Following the

    completion of the post-mortem it was found

    the baby was alive when placed in the dirt

    bin. The charge has been changed from an

    inquest to murder.

    Witnesses say the umbilical cord was still

    attached. No arrests have yet been made,

    Marashula adds.

    Anyone with information regarding any

    newborn baby that went missing or preg-

    nancies that have been terminated under

    suspicious circumstances is encouraged to

    contact the police, she urges.

    Meanwhile, a baby boywas found dumped

    in a bin outside a Strandfontein home last

    Wednesday morning. A vagrant made the

    grim discovery while walking near Trafal-

    gar Drive.

    Sandy Schuter, chairperson of the Strand-

    fontein Community Policing Forum, was at

    the scene. She encourages pregnant women

    to seek support.

    We encourage young mothers to seek as-

    sistance. We have counsellors available

    around the clock for the community. Re-

    gardless of the situation, there is help,

    Schuter says.

    V Anyone with information about the baby found at

    the bus terminus can call Warrant Officer Hendricks

    on 073 146 3101.

    V Mothers seeking support in Strandfontein can call

    Sandy Schuter on 073 805 2011.

    Tipoffs: New, er, web to catch criminals

    Anewweb page allowing citizens to tip-off

    the Metro Police will hopefully help to get

    more criminals arrested.

    According to City Mayco member for

    Safety and Security JP Smith over 600

    drug-related arrests have already been

    made this year thanks to tip-offs from the

    public to the Metro Police call centre.

    Smith says the City of Cape Town is ea-

    ger to build on this momentum by provid-

    ing people with another way to tell them

    what is happening.

    The web-based tip-off service is the lat-

    est addition in the departments efforts to

    interact with the public, he says.

    Our communities have a good sense of

    whats going on in their own backyards

    andwevalue thosewhohave taken it upon

    themselves to be part of the solution by

    feeding throughsolid information thathas

    had very positive results.

    In the first quarter of this year, tip-offs

    from the public resulted in:

    V 612 drug-related arrests;

    V Confiscation of 22 060 units of drugs;

    V 24 arrests for the possession of unli-

    censed firearms;

    V and the confiscation of 18 firearms;

    The bulk of the drug-related arrests

    were made inManenberg (82), followed by

    Parow (45), Grassy Park (43), Hanover

    Park (39), Ocean View and Mitchells

    Plain (32).

    Every gun we confiscate means one

    less weapon for gangsters to use and run

    rampant in our communities. It is fright-

    ening to think we have confiscated five

    firearms in one week, compared to 11 in

    a three-month period between October

    and December last year. Many of our suc-

    cesses have come from community tip-offs

    and wed like to appeal to residents to con-

    tinue assisting us as we try to make our

    streets safer.

    He sayshehopes it spursothers to follow

    suit and speak out against criminals who

    are holding their communities hostage

    and feeding poison to our children.

    We have the systems in place to ensure

    the tip-offs are redirected via the appropri-

    ate channels for action and weve also en-

    sured it is mobile friendly, which means

    people can access it fromany internet-ena-

    bled cellphone, he added.

    V The tipoff page is available at www.cape

    town.gov.za/tipoff. The number for the 24hour tip

    off call centre is (021) 480 7700.

    EASTRIDGE: UNLAWFUL REMOVAL

    Turfed out

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    A

    n Eastridge family who has been evict-

    ed from their home has also been

    charged with trespassing.

    This comesafterLucia andClaudeAdams,

    of Grysbok Street, were evicted inwhat they

    call an unlawful eviction and subsequent-

    ly moved back into their erstwhile home.

    The Adams family is now calling on the

    authorities to investigate their unlawful

    eviction from the home they bought 11 years

    ago.

    Peoples Post is in possession of home loan

    and other official documents pertaining to

    ownership of the property.

    TheAdams familywas evictedby the sher-

    iff of the court on Thursday 8 May.

    With nowhere else to go and fearing their

    home would be vandalised, they braved the

    inclement weather and slept on their front

    porch.

    Mother, father, children and grandchil-

    dren huddled under blankets to keep watch

    over their home. The property hadbeenbolt-

    ed with new locks.

    ConcernedEastridge residents stepped in,

    saying they couldnot allow theirneighbours

    to sleep outside. Neighbours subsequently

    put the family back into the property.

    Claude claims his housewas sold by an es-

    tate agent. But aMitchells Plain estate agen-

    cy is adamant the Adams couple signed off

    their property to her as they were behind on

    the bond payments.

    Lucia says they ran into financial difficul-

    ties when her husband lost his job two years

    ago. She says they were never told their

    house would be repossessed.

    According to records at the Deeds Office,

    the Grysbok Street property was sold to es-

    tate agentMishkaCassiemwho ownsAyoba

    Real Estates.

    The family now questions how they could

    be evicted from their own home.

    The Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB)

    confirms Cassiem is not a registered real es-

    tate agent. An EAAB official confirmed she

    was last registered in 2008.

    Cassiem forwarded emails toPeoples Post

    indicating her requests to the EAAB to be

    reinstated as an estate agent. She says she

    has been writing to the board since 2010.

    Lucia says: (Cassiem) arrived on our

    doorstep long before this debacle. She insist-

    ed she was there to stop our house from be-

    ing sold on auction. At that stage we had not

    been notified of our property being sold.

    (Cassiem) told (us) to pay her R3000

    which would be deducted from our bond. In

    the meantime the house would be trans-

    ferred to someone else until the bond was

    squared up.

    But Cassiem disputes this, saying: They

    called me in search for help as their house

    was being foreclosed by the bank.

    Upon realising Cassiem was scamming

    us out of ourmoney, says Lucia, the Adams

    pair opened a fraud case against her.

    Daughter Bronwyn Adams (21) says their

    gripe is not with the new homeowner.

    We opened a fraud case against the estate

    agent just over two months ago. She

    scammed us and we want that case to be fi-

    nalised first before any further action is tak-

    en against us.

    Police spokesperson Sergeant Jerome

    Voegt confirms a fraud case was opened and

    is still being investigated.

    But Cassiem insists the deal was above

    board. She bought the property from the Ad-

    ams for R135 000 and resold it for a profit of

    R140 000.

    A rental agreementwasmade between the

    new homeowner and the Adams, she in-

    sists. I facilitated the rental process and

    collected the rent eachmonth, but they only

    paid rent for the first four months, Cas-

    siem claims.

    But Lucia says she was advised monies

    collected would be deducted from her bond

    arrears.

    Lucia and Claude were arrested on Mon-

    day for trespassing and damage to property.

    When the police arrived I thought they

    were coming to take our statement. I was

    horrified when, like a criminal, I was

    stripped of my valuables and thrown into a

    cell with 12 other women, Lucia recalls.

    The smell of urine and faeces lingered in

    the air.

    Record of sale by a company which pro-

    vides comprehensive data, analytics and

    systems on property, shows Cassiem bought

    the Grysbok Street home on 23 May 2012. It

    was purchased by the new owner on 26 June

    2012 and transferred to both the new owner

    andCassiemon 12 September 2012 bymeans

    of a simultaneous transfer.

    Cassiem confirmed this, butwas unable to

    provide Peoples Postwith copies of the offer

    to purchase. I gave the original copies to the

    investigating detective. He collected it from

    my office and I was unable to make copies

    as my copying machine was not working.

    Fundiswa Nyasi, an Eastridge resident ,

    says unscrupulous estate agents are rob-

    bing people of their homes.

    Nyasi was herself evicted from her Bles-

    bok Street home.

    The community put the (Adams) family

    back in their home because we believe the

    deed of sale with the new owner is fraudu-

    lent, she says.

    Nyasi, who was evicted more than three

    times for unlawful occupation, has a title

    deed for the property she bought in 2003.

    These estate agents cannot be allowed to

    continue with their scams. We will fight

    them with everything we have and expose

    them for their dirty deeds, Nyasi fumes.

    The Adams family was ushered into their

    home by the community the next day.

    This community is fed-up with estate

    WESTRIDGE: HELP MOM RAISE FUNDS FOR COCHLEAR IMPLANT

    Longing to hear the

    world around him

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    W

    hen Westridge mom

    Mishkah Abrahams

    found out her son was se-

    verely deaf all she hoped for was

    that he could have a normal

    childhood.

    The toddler, a playful little soul,

    loves spending time with other

    children, but struggles to commu-

    nicate.

    Barely able to sound out a hand-

    ful of words or hear his mother

    speak, he remains cheerful.

    Only R400 000 stands between

    AbdudDayyaan (3) and the ability

    to hear.

    His single mother has to raise

    funds to have her son fitted with

    a cochlear implant.

    The implant for one ear is

    R275 000, excluding doctor and

    hospital fees of R110 000.

    While it is hoped the operation

    will be done later this year,Abdud

    Dayyaan is not onmedical aid and

    his mother will have to fork out

    the money to have the costly pro-

    cedure done at a private facility.

    Due to his age, he was turned

    away from a State health facility,

    she says. He had undergone all

    the necessary tests to see if he is

    a suitable candidate for the proce-

    dure.We stayed at the hospital for

    twonights only tobe toldhewould

    have to have the implant done

    elsewhere.

    Conditions for eligibility is that

    an implant must be done before

    the age of three years if a child

    was born deaf.

    The cochlear implant will have

    to be done on both ears of the little

    boy who was declared deaf at the

    age of one year and six months.

    However, only one will be done

    this year.

    Abdud Dayyaan is enrolled at

    the Carel du Toit Centre in Parow

    where he receives speech therapy

    and help is given to help him im-

    prove his oral communication.

    He has learned one new word

    since being enrolled at the school

    nearly a year ago.

    Learning new words can take

    several months, his mother says.

    You have to repeat theword hun-

    dreds of times before he even

    catches on. A lot of time and effort

    is invested to assist him in learn-

    ing new words.

    With profound hearing loss in

    the right ear, hismother says hav-

    ing an implant fitted is a matter

    of urgency.

    He was an outpatient at Red

    Cross Hospital since two months

    old. He had a floppy neck and a

    spinal problem and was receiving

    physiotherapy. One day I told the

    doctor I was concerned that he

    could not yet say mama like most

    children his age, she explains.

    Tests were done and I was told

    my sonwas deaf. It came as a huge

    shock. He was a quiet baby, but

    never had I thought my child

    could not hear.

    With heaps of potential,

    Mishkah fears his hearing im-

    pairment will see her son fall by

    the wayside.

    I would like him to go to a

    mainstream school. I believe with

    a little help he can learn to hear

    and speak. These communication

    tools are essential in life and I on-

    ly want what is best for him, she

    says. Although she knows there is

    a long road ahead before Abdud

    Dayyaan is able to communicate

    and listen with ease, Mishkah is

    optimistic. I believe he will be

    able to speak, read and write if he

    could hear.

    Mishkah will be hosting fund-

    raisers in the build-up to her sons

    operation and urges all to attend

    to help raise the required funds.

    Hearing Loss in Southern Africa has

    Cost of contravening regulations

    Based on the findings of the mu-

    nicipal courts, the City of Cape

    Town is making progress with

    convictions related to illegal

    building work and land use trans-

    gressions.

    A total of 471 court cases were

    concluded in the past year, which

    resulted in fines worth R722 650

    being issued to individuals who

    contravened the National Build-

    ing Regulations (NBR) and the

    Land Use Planning Ordinance

    (LUPO).

    Fines issued ranged from R500

    to R20 000, the cost of which is at

    the courts discretion.

    Of the 471 cases concluded,

    about 71.3% of them were for con-

    travening Section 4(1) of the NBR

    related to wrongfully and unlaw-

    fully performed building works

    without approved plans.

    GarrethBloor, the CitysMayco

    member for Economic, Environ-

    mental and Spatial Planning,

    says: The number of concluded

    cases is proof the municipal

    courts are recognising the impor-

    tance of ensuring that transgres-

    sors face penalties for building

    and land use contraventions.

    The City is making progress

    with convictions, which sends a

    stern warning to transgressors.

    Over the years, municipal courts

    have started to take the Citys

    plight more seriously, which has

    led to more convictions. If proper-

    ty owners do not comply with no-

    tices issued when they contra-

    vene theNBRand the LUPO, their

    cases will be heard in the munici-

    pal court and they will be convict-

    ed.

    The City encourages building

    work and land use applications,

    but this must be done within the

    confines of the law, which not on-

    ly protects property owners but

    also respects the rights of neigh-

    bours and the broader communi-

    ty.

    The City is making headway

    with clamping down on building

    and land use infringements and

    we are exploring the possibility of

    criminalising certain offences for

    criminal record purposes.

    While we are looking at ways

    to reduce red tape in order to fast-

    track development, it is impor-

    tant that when construction does

    take place, it adheres to theNBR,

    Bloor says.

    The bottle-green Golf MK3

    Cabriolet was stolen outside a

    home in Rocklands in the early

    hours of Sunday morning.

    HOUSING: INVESTORS STILL WAITING FOR HOMES

    At boiling point

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    A

    n investment company which aims to

    assist backyard dwellers has again

    come under fire.

    Desperate for a house of their own, many

    part with thousands of rands, but are yet

    to move into their own home.

    Summear Investments is again in the

    spotlight after it was instructed to repay a

    client, but failed to do so.

    Clients have now reached the end of their

    rope with owner Ebrahim Abrahams and

    his promise of low-cost housing.

    An unemployed Tafelsig woman paid

    R5000 after she was promised a house in

    Woodridge, Mitchells Plain, but soon real-

    ised the housing development was a scam

    as it was not being run by Summear Invest-

    ments as she had been told. It was however

    a project of the Cape Town Community

    Housing Company (CTCHC).

    In a letter which Peoples Post has in its

    possession, the Cape Town Community

    Housing Company confirms it has no deal-

    ings with Summear Investments.

    Desperate for a house for her and her

    children, she believed the investment

    would pay off.

    According to the complaint form submit-

    ted to the Small Claims Court, Abrahams

    had promised to repay the Tafelsig woman.

    They promised to hand over my money

    within 30 days as stated on the cancellation

    form. Its been eight months now and no

    money has been handed back to me, it

    states.

    A woman, who only wants to be known

    as Sadeeqa, says she wishes to cancel her

    contract with Summear Investments but

    has struggled for days tomake contactwith

    Abrahams. I paid him the R5000 adminis-

    tration fee. He called me recently to say I

    should pay another R2000 to secure a

    house, she says. I did this and believed

    his business was legitimate. However, a

    friend informed me that she had paid him

    money for a house, but years later she has

    still not received a home of her own.

    Numerous attempts to contact Abra-

    hams has been unsuccessful, Sadeeqa says.

    I have been to his office and his employ-

    ees sayhe is not available. I have calledhim

    on his cellphone which always goes unan-

    swered.

    The Eastridge resident is now preparing

    to take the matter to the Small Claims

    Court.

    Another woman, who spoke to Peoples

    Post on condition of anonymity, says she

    refuses to wait three years for a house. She

    paidher first instalment in 2011. Iwantmy

    cash back with interest. We cannot be ex-

    pected to wait three years for a house.

    There is also no communication between

    us and Summear Investments which add to

    our frustrations, she says.

    Mitchells Plain Housing Association of-

    ficials say they have been inundated with

    complaints about Summear Investments.

    Spokesperson Mariam Essop says many

    people have attempted to get a refund from

    Abrahams. It is sad that peoples desper-

    ate need for housing is being taken advan-

    tage of.

    Tempers erupted at a public meeting at

    Summear Investments offices at Town

    Centre in August. A group of outraged in-

    vestors demanded money back.

    Many who have pumped money into the

    project said they fear their investment will

    bear no fruit as, to date, no houses have

    been built.Many of the aggrieved investors

    paid their first instalment just over three

    years ago, Peoples Post reported (Inves-

    tors mob wrath, 3 September).

    was unable to obtain comment from Ebra-

    him Abrahams.

    W

    hile Mitchells Plain organisations

    are gearing up to submit petitions in

    favour of the relocation of squatters

    living on Vanguard Drive, the Seskhona

    Peoples Rights Movement has vowed to join

    land invaders in their fight against evic-

    tions.

    The Cape High Court was to have made a

    decision onwhether or not to evict squatters

    who had invaded private property near

    Mitchells Plain on Monday 12 May.

    But the City of Cape Town has asked for

    more time to assess the situation.

    It is understood City officials wish to con-

    duct a survey before any further action is

    taken.

    Organisations advocating for the reloca-

    tion of squatters say the numerous post-

    ponements in the case is a cause for concern.

    Zoraya Petersen, spokesperson of the

    Highguard Crisis Committee, believes more

    needs to be done to address the concerns of

    communities neighbouring the informal set-

    tlement.It is deeply concerning that the

    matter has again been postponed.

    United Peoples Alliance, a civic move-

    ment, is in the process of submitting a peti-

    tion to the court in favour of evicting the

    squatters.

    HydePark resident of 22 yearsSeraj Samp-

    son is the chairperson of the movements

    Ward 75 branch.

    He believes the informal settlement is a

    hive for criminal activity.

    Land invaders want a roof over their

    heads. Theywill not get that on the land they

    occupied, he says. We have valid safety

    concerns due to the rise in the number of

    criminals moving into the informal settle-

    ment and therefore believe squatters should

    be relocated. If the (informal settlement) is

    no more, criminals will not have conditions

    which allow them to thrive.

    Several violent and disruptive protests by

    squatters in February had Mitchells Plain

    residents clamouring for the squatters to be

    relocated.

    Land invaders took to the streets on Mon-

    day, singing and chanting as they marched

    through London Village.

    Ward councillorNatalieBent says shewas

    informed of Siqalo residents marching

    through thearea.However, no reports of vio-

    lence or intimidation were reported.

    When asked what she was doing in a bid

    to bridge the divide between Siqalo and oth-

    er areas in her ward, she said: Nothing, (as

    there is) no bridge between the two. There

    has however been communication between

    the mayors office and Siqalo representa-

    tives.

    Mayor Patricia de Lille confirms the mat-

    ter was postponed.

    Theparties agreed topostpone thematter

    sine die (without assigning a day for a fur-

    ther hearing) in order to conduct a survey

    of the residents of Siqalo informal settle-

    ment.We are currentlywaiting for the judge

    to make the draft order an order of the

    court, she says.

    The City failed to respond to questions

    about what the survey would assess.

    Land owners Robert Ross Demolition and

    Lyton Props Twelve have submitted sepa-

    rate applications to the Cape High Court in

    a bid to obtain an eviction order against the

    residents of Siqalo informal settlement.

    The land,whichhasbeen invaded, belongs

    to the two applicants and has an estimated

    value of R5m.

    The matter is before Judge Pat Gamble.

    near the Siqalo informal settlement.

    The Copperheads held a stake-out opera-

    tion in the Philippi area on Thursday fol-

    lowing numerous complaints by local resi-

    dents.

    Two men were spotted digging a trench

    in an attempt to steal copper cables on the

    corners of Vanguard and Highlands drives

    opposite Siqalo informal settlement near

    Mitchells Plain.

    Neil Arendse, head of the City of Cape

    Towns Metal Thefts Unit, says officers

    managed to arrest one of the suspects for

    attempted theft, but the other fled on foot.

    Later the same evening, a different team

    from the unit was conducting routine oper-

    ations in the same area when the officers

    noticed two suspects jumping out of a

    trenchcoveredwitha treenext toVanguard

    Drive.

    The suspects ran off when they noticed

    the officers, but the unit managed to arrest

    one suspect. After interrogating the sus-

    pect, it was found that the thieves operate

    in groups. One group digs the trenches and

    leaves, then another group goes to the area

    thatnight to steal the cables,Arendse says.

    Mayoral Committee member for Safety

    andSecurity JPSmith says replacing stolen

    City infrastructure diverts ratepayers

    money away from other pressing initia-

    tives.

    Thevandalismand theft ofCityproperty

    is a serious concern and the Copperheads

    thereforehavea zero tolerance approach to-

    wards this type of crime. Philippi is a cable

    theft hotspot with two bucket shops in the

    nearby surrounding area, he says.

    Residents are encouraged to contact the

    Copperheads on 0800 222 771 with any tip-

    offs that could lead to the apprehension of

    persons involved in illegal metals trade.

    The City has numerous deterrents in

    place and a specialised unit, but we cannot

    eradicate cable theft without the support of

    the public. The City thanks the community

    for their support and for being our eyes and

    ears, Smith adds.

    HOUSING: ASSOCIATION ELECTION PROMPTS QUERIES

    Questions over

    executive, fee

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    G

    rowing concerns about the legitimacy

    of the local housing association has

    residentz avidly searching for an-

    swers.

    The election of the current executive as

    well as themembership fees have come into

    question.

    But theMitchells PlainHousingAssocia-

    tion maintains everything is above board.

    Connie Jonkers, an Eastridge homeown-

    er andSesKhonavolunteer, believes the ex-

    ecutive was chosen unconstitutionally.

    Theywere not elected by the community

    who they say they represent. I believe the

    residents ofMitchells Plain should vote for

    the persons they want to represent them,

    she says.

    Mary Taka, chairperson of the associa-

    tion, says the executive elected the new

    leadership.

    We were forced to postpone our annual

    meeting due to the elections. We did not

    want to have anon-functioning executive in

    the interim and as a result elected new

    members.

    Our annual meeting is expected to hap-

    pen as soon as a suitable venue is con-

    firmed, she says.

    Jonkers adds: There is also a conflict of

    interest as the daughter of the associations

    chairperson also serves on the executive.

    Taka does not dispute her daughters in-

    volvement in the organisation.

    However, she insists that it does not serve

    as a conflict of interest.

    My daughter was a member of the

    former Mitchells Plain Backyarders Asso-

    ciation. She served as a secretary. She

    therefore had valuable insight into housing

    matters which could assist us going for-

    ward, Taka maintains.

    The association charges a membership

    fee of R25. On registeringwith the organisa-

    tion, a membership card is issued.

    The persons details are captured and re-

    corded for referencingpurposeswhenhous-

    es are built in the area.

    But Jonkers insists charging a member-

    ship fee is unethical.

    There is no charge when you go to the

    housing office and apply to be registered on

    the housing waiting list, so why are they

    charging a R25 sign-up fee? she asks.

    Mariam Essop, spokesperson of the asso-

    ciation, says the membership fee is an ad-

    ministrative cost.

    We do not get government funding. We

    do not receive a salary or minimum wage.

    Weassist the public at no cost. Themember-

    ship fee pays for our admin costs like print-

    ing.Whenwe need to travel within the area

    to assist residentswith housingmatters,we

    have to fork that money out of our own

    pocket, she insists.

    We offer our assistance because we are

    passionate about serving this community

    and only have their best interests at heart.

    Felicity Davids of Eastridge has paid R45

    to the association.

    The backyarder has been on the housing

    waiting list for nine years.

    I paid R10 twice andwhen the new regis-

    tration systemwasput in place I paid anoth-

    er R25.

    Essop says monies will be refunded if a

    person is found to have paid the required

    fee more than once.

    Some people paid twice due to the re-reg-

    istration process, she says. Also, what

    could have happened is she attended our

    meetings and at each meeting paid a R10.

    Those who have paid twice, but now have

    to re-register will only have to pay R5.

    V For more information contact Mariam Essop on

    073 162 4554.

    ELECTIONS: CAMERAS CONFISCATED

    Photo fail at

    voting booth

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    A

    freelance photographer as well as a

    reporter who had their cameras con-

    fiscated at a Mitchells Plain voting

    stationarebeing encouraged to laya charge

    against the police.

    The men in blue confiscated cameras

    from a freelance photojournalist as well as

    a reporter from Die Son at Parkhurst Pri-

    mary School last Wednesday.

    The Independent Electoral Commission

    (IEC) says this is in violation of its policies.

    Mitchells Plain resident and freelance

    photographer Clint Dixon made his mark

    at the Westridge school. After casting his

    ballot he approached the presiding officer

    for permission to take photos of the jovial

    scene playing out at the voting station.

    Hewas given the go-ahead and proceeded

    to take photos outside the polling station.

    On his way back to his car, he was however

    stopped by police officers who threatened

    to confiscate his camera, Dixon says.

    After voting I went tomy car to fetchmy

    camera. A police officer stopped me and

    said I was not allowed to take photos. I ex-

    plained that the presiding officer had given

    mepermission andurged him to gowithme

    to her to clear up thematter, he says. The

    matter was then resolved and I took three

    photos. As I walked out of the gates, the

    same police officer threatened to confiscate

    my camera.

    Dixon again explained that he was in fact

    allowed to take the photographs outside the

    voting station. But the officer would not re-

    lent. Mitchells Plain Cluster Commander

    Major General Jeremy Vearey was then

    called in. He arrived and instructed a lieu-

    tenant-colonel to confiscate my camera,

    Dixon says. I then called a reporter from

    Die Son who arrived within minutes. He

    then took pictures of what was happening.

    Officers then grabbed the reporter and his

    camera.

    Dixonwas prepared to delete the pictures

    to avoid any conflict, but the police officers

    insisted only an expert could delete the

    photos.

    We were told our cameras would be re-

    turned to us as soon as possible, but officers

    could not confirm exactly when this would

    happen.

    Dixon slams police for their heavy-

    handed approach to a simple dispute.

    Peoples Post contacted Vearey for com-

    ment. He declined saying until the elec-

    tions are concluded, only the IEC could pro-

    vide comment on the matter.

    DerrickMarco, electoral operationsman-

    ager for the IEC, was unaware of the inci-

    dent. However, he confirms policewere act-

    ing outside of their mandate.

    We have very strict policies in terms of

    photographs being taken inside the voting

    station. But we ease up a bit in terms of tak-

    ing photos outside the polling stations,

    Marco explains. If what is said is found to

    be true, the photojournalists can lay a

    charge against the police officers, he says.

    At polling stations, the presiding officer

    is in charge, saysMarco. They (the presid-

    ing officers) have full jurisdiction in terms

    of the Electoral Act and not even a police

    officer can override them, he says.

    The camera has been returned.

    V Colorado Park: Colorado Park and London

    Village (Colville) Residents Association will

    hold its monthly meeting at the community

    hall. The meeting starts at 19:30. Call Washiela

    Harris on 072 381 9118.

    The DA wins

    again

    P

    reliminary election results was re-

    vealed on Thursday 8May with the DA

    maintaining its Western Cape strong-

    hold by obtaining just under 60%of the vote.

    This compared to just over 50% in 2009.

    Now that all the election jitters are over,

    are there improvements the DA has to com-

    mit to or is theWesternCape awell-oiledma-

    chine?

    This is what Peoples Post readers had to

    say.

    SHIREEN HENDRICKS says the DA should improve

    the education system and the crime rate. I live

    in Manenberg and there is way too much crime,

    especially involving pupils. They should create

    more sport opportunities to curb gangsterism.

    SIKELELA MATSHAYA believes they should create

    more job opportunities. They should kill two

    birds with one stone by building more houses and

    employ the people in the rural communities to

    help build the houses.

    MICHELLE JONKER says the DA should create

    more outreach programmes in the rural areas.

    There should be more voluntary programmes

    that help uplift the housing conditions in the un

    derprivileged communities.

    RALTON WOODMAN is ecstatic that the DA has

    won again, but he has one problem. I have noth

    ing against foreigners living in the Western Cape,

    but the foreigners that smuggle drugs and own

    prostitution businesses should be stopped.

    ELIOT MAUKA says the police force should be

    more involved in the rural areas. The crime rate

    is very high and nobody feels safe any more in

    their own areas. There should be police on patrol

    in all areas at all times.

    HELENA PEREIRA feels pretty good about the

    province, her city and has no complaints. Helen

    Zille and her team should keep doing what they

    are doing, because its definitely working. I am

    happy with my province and the progress.

    CARL WILLIAMS says the DA has made a lot of

    positive changes ever since they started leading

    the Western Cape. The only thing I would like

    from the DA is to show more interest in sustaina

    ble development.

    Gangster arrested after shootout

    LAILA MAJIET

    @laila_newsie

    Aman linked to the 27s ganghas been arrest-

    ed for robbery. The arrest follows a shootout

    with police on Friday near Town Centre in

    Mitchells Plain, authorities say.

    Police spokesperson Constable Zandile

    Marashula says officers were attending to a

    separate complaint in 6th Avenue,

    Eastridge, when two women approached

    them and reported a robbery in progress on

    an open field nearby. On noticing the police

    van approaching, the suspects fled on foot.

    However, one of the suspects drew a fire-

    arm and started shooting at the police.

    Officers retaliated and managed to appre-

    hend the suspect.

    A 9mm pistol, two magazines and 13 live

    rounds were confiscated, Marashula says.
