WYBERG POLICE CLUSTER

Safety plan revealedASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A community safety plan for the Wyn-berg Police Cluster was revealed at thePolicing Needs and Priorities (PNP)

Safety Plan workshop.The workshop was hosted by the Provin-

cial Departement of Community Safety onFriday 18 and 19 September in Ocean View.

The Wynberg Cluster includes Claremont,Diep Rivier, Fish Hoek, Hout Bay, Kirsten-hof, Mowbray, Muizenberg, Ocean view,Rondebosch, Simon’s Town and Wynbergpolice stations

The stations were broken up into groupsand discussed several issues and formulatedtheir concerns and objectives as part of theirsafety plan for the cluster.

One of the concerns was the lack of inte-gration of government departments in ad-dressing the root cause of crime with the ob-jective being to ensure that government de-partments account to the communitypolicing forum on their services and to en-sure communication among stakeholders.

Wynberg CPF chairperson Shamila Nich-olas gave feedback on professional policing.

“The safety concern raised was related toinsufficient staff at all police stations in thecluster. While new recruits have been ap-pointed to alleviate the backlog identifiedpreviously, this is not sufficient for require-ments,” she says.

Nichols says that new recruits also spendtwo years in training before they can be fullyoperational and the lack of staff creates ex-treme pressure on police officials as they

take on the workload of more than one per-son and are not able to address all com-plaints.

“They have poor reaction time and insuffi-cient authorised drivers in some stationsand often also do not spend enough time inthe charge office,” she says.

The concerns also include absent staffwhich further impacts on service delivery.

Nichols says their objective is to informthe provincial police commissioners andcluster of the extent of the shortage and tofind alternative ways of managing with thestaff shortage.

“Our first step would be for police to com-pile a report on staff levels at each precinctand to present it to the community policingforum at a meeting. Our deadline for thisfirst step will be October,” she says.

Some of the other issues discussed relatedto the lack of youth programmes contribut-ing to the hight level of crime in communi-ties and the objective for the groups is to co-ordinate youth programmes in an attempt tomake communities safer. Another concernrelated to the public not feeling confident inreporting crime to the police – especiallyagainst women and children.

The group’s objective is to improve the re-porting of crime to ensure victims of sexualoffences and crimes against women and chil-dren feel comfortable to report crimes.

Errol Wood, vice chairperson of the Clare-mont Police Cluster Forum, gave feedbackon the discussion of public spaces and saysone of the concerns include gangsterism es-pecially in Parkwood.V Continued on page 2.

“School children are involved in gangs andschools need to take more action to dealwith gangs and drugs,” he says.Wood says their objective would be to

raise awareness of drugs andgangswith theaim of reducing the occurrence of childrengetting involved in gangs and drugs in thecluster.Their first stepwould be to have the CPFs

identify the schools needing interventionand forward the list to the social develop-ment department as well as education de-partment.“The CPF will alert the education depart-

ment of this issues, advocate for randomsearches of children’s bags in an effort to

reduce the occurrence if illegal drug useand gangsterism among children in thecluster,” Wood says.He also raised the issue of prostitution

within the cluster.“Our objective would be to set up a meet-

ing will all the community improvementdistricts in the cluster and identify the are-as where prostitutes operate and increasepolicing visibility in these areas,” he says.Meanwhile the groups also discussed the

issues of informal trading, car guards andbeggers harrasing tourists and the public,illegal occupation of municipal propertyand homeless people including children onthe streets.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Twoworld wars, the invention of themo-tor car, the start of Apartheid and the

creation of our democracy ...These are some of the events the South

African National Institute for Crime Pre-vention and the Reintegration of Offenders(Nicro) has weathered while promoting re-forms in the justice system.This month Nicro celebrates its 105th

birthday.Nicro works to divert offenders from the

courts so that they do not receive a crimi-nal record and encourages non-custodialsentencing or community service as an al-ternative to serving a sentence in prison.The organisation also offers prison

based support to enhance an offender’schance of successfully reintegrating back

into society. These services are offered toboth adults and children.On its establishment in 1910, the primary

objectives of the then South African Pris-oners Aid Association involved visitingprisoners and encouraging their reform inaddition to providing support for the ac-cused, released prisoners and their familymembers, explains Nicro spokespersonJacques Sibomana.Founded by Justice Mr J de Villiers

Roos, it was the first countrywide organi-sation of its kind for the aid and after-careof prisoners and their families. Prior tothis the SalvationArmy, as part of their ac-tivities, provided accommodation for re-leased prisoners. Littlemore than a decadelater the organisation elected to expand itsfocus by introducing crime prevention ser-vices, which included provision for theprevention of recidivism or the relapse in-

to criminal behaviour, the study of causeof crime and recidivism in addition to pub-lic education.The organisation also encouraged the

study of causes underlying crime. Fromthe onset the Association lobbied for socialreform, both in terms of crime preventionand the rehabilitation of offenders.“Nicrohashadagreat impact and contri-

bution to South African Criminal Justicesystems, and introduced key services thathave now been adopted by the Justice sys-tem,” Sibomana says.These include the establishment of pro-

bation services, introducing diversion ser-vices to children, the Pioneered Prisonersfriend services which started prison visi-tors as well as non-custodial sentencing.The organisation was involved in the es-

tablishment of labour bureaus and treat-ment facilities for alcoholics, as well as the

introduction of a scheme in terms of whichaccused people could pay their fines in in-stalments.In 1970 theAssociation changed its name

to Nicro. Two decades later Nicro’s use oflobbying and social action as a tool to facili-tate social change became more evident,explains Sibomana. In 1990 the NationalCouncil released a statement lobbying forappropriate racial representation on thecommittee established to review the deathpenalty, and on 17 October 1992 Nicro offi-cially took an abolitionist stance againstthe death penalty.Currently Nicro is encouraging the pub-

lic to get involved in supporting the pro-grams that NICRO offers, through individ-ual giving, Sibomana says. “We are hopingto see the organisation growing strong andable to provide the much needed servicesin our communities.”

‘Humans cannot live here’ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

With no proper toilet facility and no bathor shower residents living inproperties

in Ebor Road are forced to use a bucket towash themselves.This is according to a resident, RegisNdayishimiye, who says despite paying hisrent every month he lives in appauling con-ditions with his family.“Wehaveno choice but to stayhere,whereelse shouldwe go? I wish propertymanagerscould do something to restore the property,”he says.Ndayishimiye says he pays R1 500 rent ev-ery month for “basically a place to sleep”,but is unable to bath or shower as the pipesare broken.“We have to use one tap where we collectwater in a bucket and use that to clean our-selves. This is inhumane and feel likewe arebeing taken for granted due to our financialconstraints,” he says.He says there are about six families wholive in the double storey property whilethere are also families living in the singlestorey downstairs.“This is not a way to live and we wouldappreciate it if the property manager coulddo something to restore the place to ensurewearenot at risk of falling ill and theproper-ty being misused for illegal activties.”Ndayishimiye says he believes there areprostitutes and drug dealers living on theproperty and due to the condition of theproperty it attracts “various characters” toconduct illegal activity from the property.“Weekends are the worst, people party, Isee how people in fancy cars pick up theprosititutes or they park off here and dotheir business,” he says.

A business owner in Ebor Road, who de-clined to be identified says his business isaffected daily by the activities in the road.“The property brings bad business andmanyofmyclients refuse to leave their vehi-cles there to be serviced because of whatthey see in the street. This is not fair,” hesays.Richard Bosman, executive director forSafety and Security for the City of CapeTown, confirmed that these buildings are onthe list of problembuildings according to theCity’s Problem Building Unit (PBU). “Thebuildings are derelict and have been vandal-ised,” he says.“The PBU will charge the owners a tariffof R5 000 a month once the property is de-clared a problem building. If the owners failto comply with the notices issued, they willbe taken to theMunicipal Court for prosecu-tion,” he says.Die Burger previously reported that (“Thetrouble with Ebor Road,” Tuesday March2008) tenants of a Wynberg complex havebeengivennotice tovacate thebuildingafterit was fingered by police as a hub of drugabuse and prostitution.[Former] Inspector Ezra October, spokes-person for theWynberg Police Station at thetime, said the complex, located in Ebor Roadjust off Wynberg Main Road and oppositeWellington Road, has been the constant tar-get of police raids for years, without themsucceeding in permanently closing the com-plex down.October said that apartment number fourwas closed down by police in November lastyear [2007], only for illegal activities to haveseemingly moved underground.According to October, 74 drug-related ar-rests weremade in the proximity of the com-plex betweenApril andDecember 2007 – four

for dealing and 70 for possession. The prop-erty is also raided “almost daily”.He explains that another problem is gain-ing access to the property.Whenpolice even-tually gain entry to theheavily gated proper-ty, people inside have had ample time to getrid of illegal substances.October said number three Ebor Road isunder management of Jonathan Katz, whois also the executor of the estate after theowner died almost two years ago [2006].Katz, (at the time of the article going toprint) confirmed he has been informed bythe police and is indeed aware of the situa-tion, but is adamant there is no associationor any involvement between him and the ac-tivities of his tenants.“We want our building back,” he saidwhen asked if notice has been given to thetenants.Councillor Siyabulela Mamkeli, Mayco-member for Health says on Friday 18 Sep-

temberCityHealth officials conductedan in-spection at the following properties: 8, 10,and 27 Ebor Road in Wynberg.And reported that at 8 Ebor Road Cityhealth officials found no health nuisances.“The two toilets are fully functional and theshower, wash basin and sink are all func-tional, with an efficient water supply. Therewas no waste accumulation on the proper-ty,” he says.While at 10 Ebor Road the officials foundthat nohealthnuisance exists as all six toiletfacilities are fully functional with an ade-quate water supply.“There is no accumulation of domesticwaste and the sewers are not overflowing.The only health concern was that a petrolgeneratorwas operated in a covered yard ar-ea,” Mamkeli says.Officials found no significant health nui-sances that would require any formal actionfrom the Environmental Health Section.”

NGOs and NPOs are hoping to work inpartnership to upgrade informal settle-

ments across the country after the IsandlaInstitute recently held their nationalroundtable.There are approximately 2 700 informal

settlements in the country, which trans-lates to around 11% of South Africans liv-ing in them.According to Mirjam van Donk, director

at Isandla Institute, “spatial injustice” haslimited residents to land, shelter and basicservices.The roundtable was attended by local,

provincial and national government, civilsociety and the private sector.“We want to promote a participatory ap-

proach towards informal settlement up-grading,” said Van Donk.Bonginkosi Madikizela, Western Cape

MEC for human settlements, said that up-grading informal settlements was his toppriority, given that the government couldnever completely rid itself of the housingbacklog. Currently the backlog stands ataround 2,3 million households that arewaiting for free government housing.“Even though we are a leading province

in providing access to basic services, thereis much work that remains to be done.What is on paper versus the reality on theground, are two different things.“Just because an informal settlement has

access to ablution facilities doesn’t meantheyareof decent quality.One toilet for fivefamilies means that 20 people are all usingthe same toilet,” said Madikizela.“So many officials are only interested in

obtaining clean audits that they go for low-hanging fruit in order to achieve theirgoals.We are spending all themoney in ourbudget, but on the wrong things,” he said.Rather than tackling the easy problems,

he said his department was focusing onthree pressing challenges: upgrading in-formal settlements, accelerating the provi-sion of formal houses, and prioritising de-serving candidates on the provincial hous-ing waiting list.“There are 119 informal settlements that

have been in the Western Cape for morethan 20 years, and it’s time that we workto improve the quality of people’s lives inthese areas.”Madikizela praised the work of NGOs

whooftenact asmediatorsbetween thegov-ernment and communities.Melanie Manuel of the Informal Settle-

ment Network said that residents’ mindsetregarding upgrading needed to change.“When we talk about upgrading, people

say they’re not interested because they arewaiting for their free houses. But we say tothem, ‘While youwait, let’s change your re-ality now’.”Van Donk said in order to collaborate

more effectively, Isandla Institute has part-nered with other Cape Town-based NGOsto form a “community of practice” to pro-mote participatory informal settlement up-grading through knowledge sharing, col-laboration and experimentation.Manuel said that when approaching a

community about upgrading, it was impor-tant to “go with a blank page and a willing-ness to collaborate”, rather than a set agen-da. She emphasised the need for a “politicalchampion” within the city council to ena-ble the upgrading to take place.During the discussions, various Western

Cape case studies were referred to as goodexamples of informal settlement upgrades.In concluding the roundtable, Van Donk

encouraged role players to work together,be bold in their actions and make “respon-sible” mistakes in driving the process oftransforming the urban landscape. “In-formal settlement upgrading is a parallelprocess that improves the physical envi-ronment while also paying attention to therole of urban residents in determiningtheir own lives,” she said.

Warrant Officer Silvino Davids, spokes-person of Wynberg Police Station, says ac-cording to the residents, a man and a wom-an, four suspects entered the house afterthey used a crowbar to break-in.

“The woman was in one of the bedroomswhen the suspects entered the room andthreatened her. She fought back as theytried to take her bag. However the suspectsmanaged to take her bag which had aboutR3 000 to R3 500 in it.”

Davids says they also took a cellphonewith more cash (R12 900), a gold charm anda bracelet.

“The man was sleeping in another roomand was robbed of his wallet which con-tained about R2 800,” he says.

It is not known if the suspects fled on footor in a vehicle.

The investigation continues and a case ofhouse robbery was opened at Wynberg Po-lice Station.

Meanwhile three cases of robbery werealso reported , including one where a wom-an was threatened with a knife and robbedof her cellphone to the value of R500.

Indigenous gamesteam hopes to shineEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The Western Cape indigenous sports teamwas honoured in a capping ceremony atShalimar Gardens Hotel on Friday night.The ceremony, hosted by the minister of

cultural affairs and sport, Anroux Marais,awarded the team provincial colours to rep-resent the Western Cape at the National In-digenous Games Festival in Tshwane thisweek.Indigenous games are linked to the tradi-

tions of a cultural group, being of a local ori-gin and requiring physical skill, strategyand/or chance. Culture is not static: indige-nous people continually added to their owncultural, material and physical heritage.Through reliving and reinventing thegames of their forefathers and mothers,adding and creating their own games alongthe way, these games have become a partof daily living.Despite Africa’s rich history of indige-

nous games, a number of the games have be-

come extinct without having been docu-mented in historical and anthropologicalaccounts of the indigenous people of Africa.However, the indigenous games that still

exist, have since been included in the prior-ity sporting codes in the country. A specialfocus has been given to these games as oneof the avenues for mass participation.These games are now organised into nine

different sporting codes and the WesternCape is one of the provinces competing atthenational festival.No less than 140 partic-ipants will represent TeamWestern Cape tocompete in all nine codes, namely: Dibeke,Diketo, Drie Stokkies, Iintonga, Jukskei,Kgati, Kho-kho, Morabaraba and NcuvaMarais wished the team well and encour-

aged them to bring home gold. “Our historyneed not be lost as older generations passon. Team Western Cape has been selectedfrom the best indigenous games playersavailable,” said Marais.“It is now their duty to keep these games

alive in our communities so that future gen-erations can celebrate our heritage.”

The Western Cape indigenous sports team was given a special sendoff in Athlone on Fridaynight.

A little less ocean rubbishCapetonians pulled up their sleeves and

slipped on some gloves in an effort to re-duce refuse in our seas.International Coastal Cleanup Day took

place on Saturday, and is an internationalevent which started in 1986 and has sincegrown into a global initiative.Volunteers are issued with data cards and

each item collected is recorded on thesecards. After this worldwide event, global da-ta on the waste in our oceans is collated.Last year 560 000 volunteers in 91 coun-

tries picked up more than 7,2 million kilo-

grams of trash during the event. South Afri-ca had 3208 participants who contributedmore than 11 000 kilograms of trash to thesestatisticsGlobally, the number one item found was

cigarette butts at more than 2,2 million.Enough bottle caps to cover seven tennis

courts were collected.The weight of the plastic shopping bags

collected equals that of three manatees.Some of the strange things picked up in-

clude bowling balls, a lawnmower and awheelbarrow.

Our oceans have become the garbagedump for humans, Two Oceans Aquariumspokesperson Renée Leeuwner.“It is easy to think that our actions on land

do not affect the oceans, but the exact oppo-site is true. According to Ocean Conservan-cy, between 5 and 12million tonnes of plasticenter the ocean annually due to land-basedactivities.”Not only is marine litter unsightly, but it

also poses a danger tomarine life, Leeuwnerexplains.“During our rehabilitation work with en-

dangered sea turtles we have found plasticpieces, bits of balloons and pieces of plasticbags in the gastro-intestinal tracts, bladdersand body cavities of hatchlings, sub-adultsand adults,” said Leeuwner.A new study led by researchers from Aus-

tralia’s Commonwealth Scientific and In-dustrialResearchOrganizationhas recentlyfound that nine out of ten sea birds have in-gested plastic.The study has also predicted that within

the next 35 years, 99% of all seabirds will bevictim to plastic ingestion.

SWEET VALLEY

Local school winsmaths challengeSweet Valley Primary School was named

the top performing school at the annualSouth African Mathematics Foundation(SAMF) Gala Awards.

The gala was held on Saturday 19 Septem-ber in Durban.More than 9 500 Grades 4 to 7 primary

school pupils from 378 schools across SouthAfrica participated in the final round of theSouth African Mathematics Challenge(SAMC).

More than 104 000 pupils from 486 schoolsparticipated in the first round of the SAMC,which took place in May.

Pupils who obtained at least 50% in thefirst round qualified for the final roundwritten on Wednesday 29 July. Perform-ance in the final round is used to determinethe top performing school.Sweet Valley Primary School, a public

school with 861 pupils in Cape Town, walk-ed away with the award as the top perform-ing school. Their vision of excel today andlead tomorrow epitomizes the school’sstrategy to achieve success.

The school has an exam pass rate of 99%and also performs well in the Annual Na-tional Assessment (ANA) with mathemat-ics averages between 74% and 90%. Teach-ers incorporate problem solving exercisesin their classrooms almost every day. TheSAMC is an important incentive for teach-ers and pupils to focus on problem solving.Ian Ryan, principal of Sweet Valley Pri-

mary School, says the emphasis should beon mathematics as a problem solving exer-cise, rather than on learning procedures.“Exposing children to a variety of differ-

ent types of problems and encouraging per-sistence enables them not to give up whenthey cannot immediately solve a problem.”The 58-year-old school strives to instil a

sense of pride and loyalty in every learner.Ryan dreams to empower and inspire hislearners to lead a life of significance and torespect all. He adds that teachers strive tocreate a balanced educational environmentin which pupils have the opportunity toachieve their full potential academically,spiritually, socially and physically.

Cape Town schools are almost full andthe Western Cape Education Depart-

ment urges parents to enrol children assoon as possible.

“To date, schools in the Western Capehave processed 128 545 applications forplacement for the 2016 school year. So far,118 429 learners have been placed,” said ed-ucationminister Debbie Schäfer in a state-ment to the media last week.

“Parents were encouraged to apply toschools by 30 June, and thosewhonow stillneed spaces at schools need to urgently ap-proach their nearest schools or the closestdistrict office to find out which schools

still have spaces available,” she said.“We cannot guarantee places in schools

of choice, but will do our utmost to placechildren appropriately. It is crucial thatparentswhohave failed to enrol their childfor the 2016 school year to do so urgentlyand before the end of the third term to en-sure that they secure a place for theirchild.”

Schäfer says there are currently 3 470learners who have been accepted at morethan one school.

“Some 2 257 of these learners are Grade8 learners who have not confirmed if theyare taking up their places,” she says.

“Moreover, we expect that learners willcontinue to migrate to the Western Capefrom other provinces in search of a bettereducation and access to opportunities.Each year we plan as best we can for theinflux of additional learners from otherprovinces. The inward migration into theWestern Cape has huge financial and plan-ning implications, impacting on the provi-sioning of education resources and theoverall management of the system. Wehave to prioritise according to the greatestneed across the whole province, and avail-able budget. Our current budget is underconsiderable pressure.”

Parking bays ‘hijacked’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Parking bays across the City were hi-jacked on Friday, as Capetonians cele-

brated PARK(ing) Day.The event is part of an annual open-

source global event where citizens, artistsand activists collaborate to temporarilytransformmeteredparking spaces into tem-porary public places, or ‘parklets’, explainsOpen Streets’ Marcela Guerrero Casas.Open Streets is one of the organisations

involved in the event, and ismobilising oth-ers to join the initiative and transform aparking bay for the day.

“We are encouraging people to get in-volved and share their ideas through a Fa-cebook event and created an outdoor officewith some games in front of our office inHarrington Street,” she says.

The global event began in 2005whenaSan

Francisco art and design studio converteda single metered parking space into a tem-porary public park in San Francisco.

The mission of the local PARK(ing) Dayis to call attention to the need for more ur-ban open space, to generate critical debatearoundhowpublic space is created andallo-cated, and to improve the quality of the ur-ban human habitat.

Guerrero Casas says the initiative shouldhowever go further than just one day.“In Cape Town we could never build

enough parking bays to satisfy the seeming-ly insatiable need for more parking spaces.The solution lies in a new long-term ap-proach to mobility and how the city centreis maximised for all users. After all, only aminority private cars as their main form oftransport in the city.“PARK(ing) Day provides us all with an

opportunity to really see how we can usepublic space differently,” she says.

Parking bays across the city were turned into public space on Friday part of a global event.

High-speed chaseends in arrestA motorist will appear in an Athlone

court after being involved in a high-speed chasewith the City of Cape Town’sGhost Squad after trying to flee an acci-dent scene in Klipfontein Road.The driver of a Toyota Cressida hit a

female pedestrian on the corner of Klip-fontein and Hazel roads just before 22:00on Saturday.Themotorist then sped off in the direc-

tion of Gugulethu, with patrolling GhostSquadmembers following inhot pursuit.The Cressida then came to a halt aftercrashing into another motor vehicle inCrossroads. The suspect attempted toflee on foot, butwas eventually caught bylaw enforcement officers who caught upwith him. He was taken to the AthlonePolice Station and will appear in courton charges of reckless and negligentdriving and fleeing the scene of an acci-dent.In another incident which took place

over the weekend, three people were ar-rested for reckless and negligent drivingafter the Ghost Squad responded to com-plaints of illegal street racing in Mitch-ell’s Plain. Two others were arrested fordrunk driving – one of whom refused tostop, leading officers on a chase whicheventually ended in Philippi. He wasfound to be four times over the legalblood-alcohol limit. “In both cases, thesemotorists are facing charges additionalto those that put them on our radar inthe first place. The lesson here is to justpull overand take responsibility foryouractions,” said JP Smith, Mayco memberfor safety and security.On Sunday, the City’s traffic service

arrested 25 motorists for drunk driving

at a roadblock inMitchell’s Plain, and is-sued 2 272 fines. Metro Police netted afurther 26 drunk drivers – 10 of themcaught at two checkpoints in Hout Bayon Saturday. Eleven suspects were alsoarrested for drug-related offences at vari-ous locations across the city.Meanwhile, the Metro Police Camera

Response Unit arrested a 19-year-oldthief on Friday. The suspect was caughton camera during a smash-and-grab inci-dent on the corner of Jakes Gerwel andWashingtondrives inLanga.CCTVoper-ators led the camera response unit to thesuspect’s location, but when confrontedby the officers, he allegedly tried to stabone of them – prompting the second offi-cer to fire a shot, wounding the supsectin the thigh. He received medical treat-ment, after which he was arrested oncharges of possession of stolen goods,possession of a dangerous weapon, com-mon assault and resisting arrest. Thevictim also added a charge of theft out ofmotor vehicle. Officers managed to re-cover the victim’s handbag and all itscontents, including more than R600 incash. “This incident had a happy endingfor the motorist in question because wemanaged to retrieve all her belongings.However, I want to renew my call to mo-torists to please store valuables likehandbags, laptops and cellphones in theboot while driving, to keep doors andwindows locked at all times, and to bewary of people loitering at intersections.Keep an eye on your surroundings in-stead of your cellphone – not only is itillegal to use it while you’re behind thewheel, it also makes you more vulnera-ble to potential criminals,” added Smith.

Residents are more likely to experiencesnake encounters due to spring-time, warnsShaun MacLeod, co-ordinator of the SnakeRescue volunteer team in the Cape Peninsu-la.“Every spring snakes come out of hiberna-

tion on the hunt for a much needed springmeal. Snakes are very important to our natu-ral environment as they control the verminrodents that destroy crops and carry numer-ous diseases,” says MacLeod, who is also adirector of Reptile Educational AwarenessConsultants (REAC).“Snakes and various other reptiles form

part of the very important balance in our eco-system. A simple equation – themore snakeswe kill, themore rodents and pests there willbe. We have encroached into their naturalhabitat through habitat degradation, frag-mentation and urban expansion.

“Ponds, heaps of building rubble and rock-eries in and around gardens and homes cre-ate micro environments, which will inevita-bly attract snakes,” MacLeod warns.He reminds residents that snakes “are at-

tracted to neglected areas where there is notmuch disturbance, as snakes hate confronta-tion”.“There is no real way of keeping snakes off

your property, but if you keep your grass cutshort, trees well trimmed and clean up allrubble, just to mention a few, then there isless likelihood for snakes to reside on yourproperty. In short – keep your garden tidy,”he says.“Leave snakes alone – and it will leave you

alone. Most bites occur when people attemptto kill snakes,” he says.V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on082 532 5033 for advice or for emergencies.

ComedymagicianMarcelOude-jans is not just an entertainer.

He sees himself as more of a “funfacilitator.”The Pinelands resident will be

doing a rare public show in CapeTownwhen he presents Sleight ofMouth 2: Now talk your way outof this! as part of the Cape TownFringe Festival from Thursday.The show is a sequel to Sleight

of Mouth – The art of talking yourwayout of anything,whichheper-formed at last year’s Fringe Festi-val. The showwas incidentally al-so the last public show in CapeTown. This year though, Marcelhas a whole lot of new tricks uphis sleeve.The new show features new

magic, delivered in Marcel’strademark witty “stand-up”style. There’s alsomore story-tell-ingwith anecdotes about his trav-els and experiences as a magi-cian.Performing magic for people

who aren’t expecting it usuallyproduces interesting results. Onone occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to ashow and decided to brightensomeone’s daywith amagic trick.“The woman freaked out becauseshe had no one around to corrobo-rate that it had actually happened.”One could almost say Marcel’s

comedy career started with peoplewhoweren’t expecting it. When oth-er children were waiting tables,Marcel, who had already started do-ing shows at the Bellville Libraryover school holidays, was perform-ing in restaurants for tips.Today, Marcel is one of the

country’s leading performers. In2008 he was recognised as one of Af-

rica’s leading magicians at the Vis-mayan International Magic Con-vention held in India.Most of his work is for corporate

events, where he acts as emcee ormore recently, teaches people aboutthe importance of “play” in theworkplace or as he puts it “to takeplay seriously”.Marcel explains that learning to

have funor embracing cultural arts,gives people a means to expressthemselves, something which is es-sential to understanding other peo-

ple and having empathy.Heworkswith businesses to

help them “create wow in cus-tomer service”, usingmagic toprove his point.Customer service is some-

thing Marcel takes seriouslyand it’s important to him thathis audiences feel like theyare getting a genuine, sincereperformance.This is where his improvi-

sation skills come in handy;giving him the ability to adaptto his audience and make hisshows more interactive.Although there’s a light nar-

rative running throughSleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyour way out of this!, Marceldoesn’t like the idea of amagicshow that’s too scripted. “Youwant to make the audiencefeel like this is happening forthe first time.”His performance at the

Fringe Festival is an opportu-nity to see another side of hisextensive repertoire and es-cape reality for an hour.Marcel says the festival it-

self is a chance to see a widevariety of productions, fromtheatre pieces tomagic, in oneplace and urges Capetoniansto buy tickets early and sup-

port the local performers on stagethis year.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way outof this! will be on stage at Cape Town CityHall Theatre 3 at 19:30 on Thursday 24, Sat-urday 25, Tuesday 29 September and Friday2 October. Shows will also run at 17:30 onSaturday 26 and Monday 28 September, at15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05on Thursday 1 October. Marcel will also beperforming at the Alexander Bar at 13:05 onTuesday 29 September. Tickets cost R70 orR63 (concessions) from the door orwww.capetownfringe.co.za.

great opportunity to teach youngpeople about different cultures andbuild the spirit of ubuntu.

With the turn of the weather, more people are coming outof the winter slump in celebration of just about every-thing.September is not only the month we celebrate Heritage

Day, but also the month we celebrate many days andweeks in recognition of health and well-being.The month plays host to awareness of Albinism, Bone

Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia, CervicalCancer, Childhood Cancer, Eye Care, Muscular Dystro-phy and Oral Health. It is also National Heart AwarenessMonth and the National Month of Deaf People.While Headache and Migraine, Pharmacy, Kidney and

Back Awareness celebrate weeks, some conditions, suchas Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, International Gynaecologi-cal Health, World Suicide Prevention, National OralHealth and National Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD) also have special days dedicated to them.The question we should be asking ourselves is “is it

enough to only pay attention to our bodies once a year?”The awareness programmes do their job – bringing rec-

ognition to these sometimes overlooked disorders and ill-nesses. It forces some people to take tests and pay a littlemore attention to their health, or to donate to a worthycause. But is enough being done to leave a lasting impres-sion on us?What will it take to get us to sit up and listen?Will we only act when it affects us?Reality is that we should be looking after our oral

health, our hearts, our eyes and our bodies in general.Many serious ailments can be cured if caught early and

inmost cases prevention is key. Is it not thenworthknow-ing that everything is running in tip top shape?Experts recommend a visit to your doctor at least once

a year, but most people just don’t bother.In the end, health officials will talk and promote taking

care of yourself, but taking action is up to you.

Together we must find solutionsOn reading your very informative articleon “Where must homeless go?” (People’sPost 15 September), one must beconcerned at the growing number ofhomeless on our streets and be party toa solution.You are correct. Everyone has rights

enshrined in our laws.As homeowners, in our various

suburbs, who diligently pay taxes, whyshould these communities have to accepthomeless people squatting in theirparticular suburbs, defecating indiscrim-inately and leaving excess litter every-where?I am sure the law of our land does not

condone any of the above.A further concern with homeless

people illegally squatting in suburbs, isthe rise in the crime rate in our neigh-bourhoods, owing to these folk having tosurvive on the streetsThe authorities must always ensure

that everyone abides by the law of theland and no one must be seen promotingthe homeless to squat indiscriminately

wherever they feel fit to do so.It is up to the South African popula-

tion, and in particular, the government,to find solutions to this increasinghomeless problem, brought about bybroken homes, drug and alcohol addic-tion, unemployment and many moreissues which Mrs (Suzette) Little,Maycom member for social developmentand early childhood development, isfully aware of.In mentioning all my concerns, I

would also wish to be recognised asbeing part of the solution by suggestingthe following: We have all been remind-ed to not give money or food, whichentices the homeless folk to stay wherethe pickings are good. The public canhelp by purchasing special mintedcoupon coins equivalent to R50 whichcould be handed to the homeless beggarsin order for them to exchange at thenearest night shelter for a place to sleepand a plate of food.This concept must be well worked out

to avoid exploitation and it must be

funded and promoted by government asa public contribution programme.Printed paper coupons are too easilyexploited. Pressed coupon coins in acheaply priced metal are more difficultto counterfeit and can be recycled backinto the market in a controlled mannerwith the help of the shelters.In conjunction with the above sugges-

tion, it is essential that the governmentmakes funds available to build or rentbuildings and fund many more nightshelters as their contribution towardshousing the homeless, which in turnmeans that the homeless have no excuseto squat indiscriminately and illegallyon the streets.The homeless need two things – food

in their stomach and a place to sleep –and I am of the opinion that if mythoughts could be formulated in someway, it will go a long way towardsgiving homeless folk some dignity and asense of direction.

Don’t turn blind eye to needyI feel so sad when people say “Please,not in my nice neighbourhood. Movethese homeless people!”I feel so sad when people who have

had all the privileges of a good educa-tion, as well as the opportunity for workand can therefore pay taxes, feel thatthey have rights that others don’t have.I feel so sad that in a country where

seventy nine percent of the populationclaims to be Christian, we don’t followJesus’ teaching to care for the thirstyand hungry, or the stranger, for thesick, the poor and vulnerable in oursociety. (Matthew 25: 35 – 40)I feel so sad because the biblical story

of Ruth shows how we should reach outto the vulnerable in our society bygiving a hand up rather than a hand-out.As a society we can make a difference

by working with organisations already

working with the homeless.U-turn is one such organisation

working in the Wynberg, Kenilworth,and Claremont areas.Rather than handing out small change

to those begging on the streets or tothose who come to our homes, weencourage people to give one of theU-turn vouchers. A voucher allows themto get a meal or some secondhandclothing at The Powerhouse, which isjust behind Stadium on Main in Clare-mont. U-turn also runs clothing stores,where good quality clothes can bepurchased by the public. By purchasingclothes in these stores, you help financethe work, as well as create trainingopportunities for those who want tomove off the streets and get back intothe workplace.

Get a second opinionI would like to inform home ownerswho are selling their property to bevery careful regarding beetle,electrical and plumbing certificatesof clearance.I recently had a company check

my home. This company offers allthree services, but after theirinspection I was shocked to see theamount of repairs needed. In fact,there were things indicated to bewrong which were never wrong.So please be very careful. Scruti-

nise the repair list and get a secondopinion. It may be more expensive,but get in a separate plumber andelectrician. I was fortunate to neverget caught and found a good, honestplumber and electrician.

Feed the cause,not the beggarsThe City of Cape Town’s social develop-

ment and early childhood developmentdirectorate took its Give Responsibly cam-paign to the streets last Friday.

Councillors and officials from the direct-orate were stationed at 17 intersections inDurbanville, Bellville, Goodwood, KuilsRiver, Parow, Athlone, Mitchell’s Plain, Ot-tery, Diep River, Grassy Park, SomersetWest, Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Wynberg,Lansdowne, Table View and the Cape TownCBD, armed with posters highlighting theimportance of not giving hand-outs to streetpeople.

Some of the slogans used to drive themes-sage home included: “Hand-outs are notgenerous, they are harmful”; “By givinghand-outs, you are perpetuating a cycle ofpoverty”; “Yourmoney is supporting a drugdealer”; “Change is about more than a fewcoins”; and “Begginghandicapsmy future”.“We opted for this activation to create

awareness about the fact that street cornerhand-outs are doing little else other thanperpetuating the cycle of dependence andkeeping people on the streets,” said SuzetteLittle, the City’s mayco member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment. The public has a shared responsibili-ty for the well-being of street people. Wemust understand that there is a very goodchance that the R2 or R5 handed over at theintersection is feeding a habit instead of theindividual. So let’s change tack and moveaway from the instant gratification that amonetary donation provides. My appeal tothe public is to find out where their nearest

shelter or organisation working with streetpeople is, and liaise with them about howto make a real difference, whether it be do-nating clothes or other goods, or even vol-unteering,” Little said.The City introduced its Give Responsibly

campaign in 2010, aimed at encouraging thepublic to support the homeless by makingdonations to registered organisations in-steadof individuals, thusbreaking the cycleof dependence that keeps themon the street.In addition, the City has formulated a

street people policy and implemented anumber of interventions as part of its streetpeople programme. The budget for this pro-gramme has grown from R4,5 million in2013/14, to R7,8 million in 2014/15, toR9,7 million in 2015/16 – an increase ofmorethan 100%.“The City has made great strides in its ef-

forts to tackle homelessness. Our fieldworkers engage with street people on a dai-ly basis, offering them access to a range ofservices including returning home if possi-ble. On the other hand, we have structuresset up within communities to prevent oth-ers frommigrating to the streets. However,we’ve seen that many street people refuseour offers of assistance and I’m not sur-prised.Why leave the streets when do-good-ers dish out donations for very little in re-turn? If we are ever going to make a realdent in reducing the number of people liv-ing on our streets and offer them a betterlife, we need to move away from the cultureof indiscriminate giving. Give a hand uprather than a hand-out,” Little said.

CouncillorsPhindile Maxiti(background),chairperson ofthe City’shomelessagency committee, and PhilisaMarmanparticipated ina Give Responsibly awarenessdrive in CapeTown lastFriday.

CONSTANTIA PRIME EXCLUSIVE MULTI-LEVEL HOME ON 4400M2

The explosive growth of moun-tain biking as a school sportwas once again highlighted

this weekend during the WesternCape finals of the Spur SchoolsMountain Bike League.

Showing an impressive increasein both participating schools andriders, more than 1000 riders repre-senting 60 schools battled it outthis season for the top spot on thelog and a place in the upcoming na-tional championships.

Stellenbosch-based Paul RoosGymnasium has once again showntheir supremacy by staying unde-feated at the top of the men’s logsince the inception of the league in2009 with 1 422 points, which alsosecured them overall second posi-tion. Parel Vallei from SomersetWest won the mixed team categorylogging an impressive 1 841 points,followed by Bellville’s DF Malan insecond place with 1 132 points.Mountainbiking has also in-creased its traction in the BreedeRiver area with Montana HighSchool from Worcester finishingthird with 1 086 points and Drostdyqualifying for the finals for thefirst time.

In addition the individual cate-gory winners also qualify for a spotin the finals. They include juniorboys champion, Daniel van derWalt of Fairmont High School; Alli-

son Morton of Westerford HighSchool who was undefeated in theyouth women category and teammate Courteney Webb who fin-ished top of the log in the juniorwomen category.

League organiser MeurantBotha of Amarider said that the or-ganic growth of the league hasproven that mountain biking car-ries huge appeal amongst youngercycling enthusiasts.

“It is an extremely encouragingsign for mountain biking as a sportdiscipline to see the enthusiasmwith which the South Africanyouth have embraced this exhila-rating sport. It is also promising tonote the significant increase in fe-male riders. Although primaryschools cannot yet qualify for theleague finals, it augers well for thesport that even our younger popu-lation segment are taking to thetracks,” said Botha.

The commitment from topranked schools such as Parel Val-lei, Paul Roos and DF Malan is agood indication that mountain bik-ing is on the fast track to becomingan officially recognised schoolssport discipline.

In order to make the league evenmore accessible to riders, the sen-ior (high school) categories weremoved to later time slots allowingfor those that participate in main-

stream school sports to fulfil theirschool commitments.

According to Botha, another ma-jor development since the incep-tion on the league is the shift to rac-ing on school grounds. “Develop-ing these tracks at schools not onlybrings the racing to the kids, butmore importantly places the sportright in the middle of the tradition-al and mainstream field and courtsports. This gives mountain bikinggreater exposure, relevance andcredibility.

The league will culminate withthe Spur Schools Mountain BikeLeague National Finals in October,when MTB fans from across Sub-Saharan Africa, including SouthAfrica and neighbours Zimbabweand Namibia will congregate atBekker School in Magaliesberg tocompete as schools as well as prov-inces for the coveted Spur SchoolsMTB League trophy and top spoton the provincial log.V For further information, follow them on@SpurMTBleague, log on to SpurSchool-sLeague on Facebook or visitwww.spurmtbleague.co.za.

Local schools shine at MTB finals

Courtney Webb of Westerford HighSchool finished first in the juniorwomen category in the final seriesof races in the Spur Schools MTBLeague.

In last week’s edition of the People’sPost (15 September), a photo of theu.19A-team of Rustenburg Girls HighSchool at the WP schools netball fi-nals at Bellville High School was pub-lished.

The caption read that they losttheir semi-final against StellenbergHigh School’s u.19B-team, when infact they beat them 22-13. Rustenburgwent on to play in the final, wherethey beat The Settlers High School14-11. People’s Post apologises forpublishing the incorrect informa-tion.

The annual Cape Town marathon tookplace under uncharacteristically mug-gy conditions in Green Point over the

weekend.Local athletes, William Kaptein and Lebo

Dinah Phalula outclassed a quality field towin the men’s and women’s titles in the10 km run/walk on Sunday.While the endurance stars were battling

it out for the 42 km title, the speedstersshowed their class in a highly competitiverace over the shorter distance.Kaptein charged to victory in 28:34, with

Elroy Gelant taking second place in 34:10and Abed Nico Mashaba finishing third in34:20.In the women’s race, Phalula earned a

well-deserved win in 34:12, crossing the line

16 seconds ahead of Mapaseka Makhanya.“The 10 km distance is ideal for younger

athletes who are still building towards themarathon, and it is perfect for amateur run-ners who are not yet ready to tackle the clas-sic distance, so it plays an important role aspart of the Cape Town Marathon,” saidElana Meyer who is an ambassador for therace.“With road running experiencing another

boom in South Africa, we expect the 10 kmdistance to continue to grow in popularityin the years to come.”Meanwhile, in the main event, the 42 km

race, Shadrack Kemboi from Kenya provedto be the strongest athlete on the day, defy-ing weather conditions to notch up a win inthe men’s race.

Despite the dominance shown by the EastAfricans, there was a strong South Afrcancharge as Lungile Gongqa finished secondand Michael Mazibuko finished third.AnotherKenyan, IsabellaOchichi, earned

a superb victory in the women’s race.With humidity at between 70% and 80%,

the East African winners battled somewhat,while theSouthAfricans took full advantageof the overcast weather, putting in an excel-lent performance behind their internationalcounterparts.Kemboi crossed the finish line in 2:11:41,

with Gongqa taking second place in 2:11:59andMazibuko grabbing the final spot on themen’s podium in 2:12:29.Ochichi romped to victory in the women’s

division in 2:30:20, while Eunice Chumba

from Bahrain finished second in 2:33:12 andKenya’s Joan Rotich third in a time of2:37:45.“I always wanted amarathon victory, and

I believe that it would come inHonolulu, Ha-waii in 2014, but I got it today on my homecontinent – Africa – and I couldn’t be happi-er,” said Ochichi.The 42 km race boasted a large field of

5 728 participants in only its second year, inwhich it is aiming to achieve the IAAF’s cov-eted Gold Label status. A total of 4.5% of en-trieswere fromoutside of SouthAfrica,with51 countries represented at the race. Sixty-two entrants came from the USA, 21 fromGermany, 20 from theUK, followed by small-er numbers from Sweden, Kenya, Canada,Ethiopia, Namibia, Zambia and Japan.
