Crime clampdownASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The Wynberg police cluster, which com-prises eleven police stations rangingfrom Mowbray to Ocean View, has re-

ported a noticeable decrease in most of itscrime categories.This was revealed in the police statistics

for the year until March.CaptainAngieLatchman, spokespersonof

theWynberg police cluster, says car-jackingand robberywith aggravated circumstancesremain a cause for concern.“Most of the robbery cases were in the

form of street robberies in the vicinity oftransport interchanges, businesses or whenvictims arrive home in their driveways,”she says.Latchman says the area has a large stu-

dent population and many of them are tar-gets.

She adds that most of the perpetrators arefrom outside the area, which makes findingand arresting them difficult.“Most of these incidents are related to

street robberies where victims were con-fronted whilst walking alone, approachedfrom behind and robbed of personal belong-ings.“Suspects were groups of two or three per-

sons,” she says.Warrant Officer Keith Chandler, spokes-

person of Diep River police station, saysthree factors have contributed the most tothe decrease in crime in theDiep River area.One is theadditionalhelp fromthepolice’s

auxiliary forces, like reservists.“Detectives have closed cases on arrests

and have linked suspects to other cases –thus a longer jail time. Neighbourhoodwatches have also helped identify suspi-cious persons,” Chandler says.V Continued on page 3

Fishy stories printed in comic bookNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Ten years after the Treknet comic stripsfirst appeared in print, local cartoonists

Dave Gomersall and Gavin Thomson havelaunched a book, Tales from Treknet, withtheir favourite strips from the years of beingpublished.The popular comic strip first appeared in

People’s Post and is based on the fishing cul-ture in Fish Hoek. Gomersall explains thattreknet fishing encapsulates the culture ofFish Hoek.“Every topic gets sucked into the treknet.”

Local is lekkerAlthough inspired by False Bay locals and

fishermen and Gomersall’s own sailing ex-perience, the characters developed over theyears, he says.Gomersall and Thomson met each other

while Gomersall was searching for an illus-trator for a children’s book he was writing.

He and Thomson soon discovered a sharedlove for comics, and the book was shelvedto give way to a new partnership.“I can’t spell and he can’t draw,” jokes

Thomson as he sums up their relationship.They started out with a strip about a boy

who sails around the world, but were askedto produce amore local strip for the newspa-per.Many of the stories are shaped by sailing

trips Gomersall took, with Thomson oftenworking with him via satellite phone whilehe was sailing across the Atlantic.“But I always wrote two months ahead,

just in case I died,” Gomersall says.The partnership started out when local

cartooning was still in its infancy, Thomsonexplains.“When we were starting out, cartooning

was a real mystery. There was not a lot togo on or people to ask,” he says.But the series grew in popularity and was

even the subject of a TV show aired on Kyk-NET in 2013. The pair had to sort through

over 2500 strips in selecting content for thebook.They have written several other comic

strips, with some being published in Nor-way, Sweden, Namibia and the UnitedStates. Their work has, and still does, ap-pear in daily newspapers across the coun-try.

Child’s playBoth Gomersall and Thomson had al-

ways loved comics, with both reading themas children and always doodling duringschool.“I must have been drawing all through

school,” saysThomson. “I never really tookit seriouslybecause it never occurred tomethat I could make a living from it.”Today they give talks at schools and are

always amazed at how children identifywith the characters, Thomson says.“Education through pictures is easier to

understand,” explains Gomersall, who hasbeen approached to provide cartoons fortextbooks, on which comprehension testsare based.Thomson says: “Kids were told comics

are junk in the past. But reading anythingis good.”

The cartoonists have made sure Treknetremains a family comic strip, to the extentthat they almost passed down their first dai-ly newspaper gig because it was Son, whichfeatured weekly photos of almost nakedwomen.The editor agreed to run the strip from

Monday to Thursday, and not on Fridaywith the pin-up photo.

Just go for itTales of Treknet has been self-published

after the cartoonists found there was littleinterest from local publishers.They asked fans for pledges and sold ad-

vertising on the back cover, which helpedfund the publication.“The last ten years has taught me to just

go for it,” says Thomson. “Fear of not suc-ceeding only holds you back.”They hope the comic strip’s next debut

will be on the big screen.“We’d love to do something in animation

or a movie with Leon Schuster,” Thomsonsays.V Copies of Tales of Treknet are available at BookLounge and Clarks Books in Cape Town, Blank Booksin Woodstock, Reader’s Den in Claremont and Tyger-valley and Wordsworth Books in Longbeach Mall.

PLUMSTEAD

Station labelled ‘hotspot’ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Residents are being encouraged to reportincidents of crime as well as suspicious

behaviour in the Diep River area.During a Community Police Forum (CPF)

meeting last week it was revealed thatmanyincidents are not being reported.Speaking during themeeting, AndrewLil-

lie, chairperson of the Plumstead Neigh-bourhood Watch, said if the crime was notreported and a case not opened the incidentwas not registered in police statistics and“did not exist”.“I urge residents to at least report the inci-

dent, even if they think it is petty crime. Itis important to report it as small incidentscan lead to bigger issues for residents aswellas for police,” he said.

Taps, pipes go missingWard councillor Carol Bew shared Lillie’s

sentiment and said she had recently re-ceived a number of complaints from resi-dents that their taps, pipes and pot plantswere stolen from their properties.“I urge residents to report these missing

or suspected stolen items to the police beforeit escalates into bigger items being stolen.Police can follow and pick up if there is atrend in the communitywhere certain itemsare being stolen, but also alert other resi-dents to this activity,” she said.Bew said even if it was a garden tap that

had been stolen it had to be reported.Lillie said crime thatwasnot being report-

ed was giving a false indication about thelevel of crime in the community.“Police can only operate effectively if they

are aware of the issues in the community,which is why it is so important for residents

to report stolen items,” he said.Bew further said shehadconcernswith re-

gard to Plumstead station as someone hadrobbed there at knife point a couple of weeksago.“This is a crime hotspot and I will find out

what steps can be taken to ensure the gatesare lockedwhen the station is not in use andspeak to police and Metro Police to monitorand patrol more,” she said.

Warrant officer Keith Chandler, spokes-person of Diep River police station, encour-aged businesses in the community to get in-volved with neighbourhood watches to en-sure there was more visibility on the street.“We have the support of the neighbour-

hood watches, but encourage business own-ers to join the safety structures in the com-munity. There are far too few businessessupporting the neighbourhood watches.”

Plumstead station and its subways are infamous crime areas, especially for robberies. Commut-ers are asked to report all incidents of crime and suspicious behaviour. A ward councillor saysshe’ll ensure that the gates are locked when the station is not in use. PHOTO: ASTRID FEBRUARIE

Chandler says without the supportthey receive from the neighbourhoodwatches police would be unable to beeffective in crime prevention.He encourages businesses to get

more involved in community crimeawareness as “a lot of crimes occurwhen their customers frequent theirestablishments”.“Far too many businesses do not get

involved in the community. A majorhotspot is the Plumstead central busi-ness district, yet not one of these busi-nesses assist the Plumstead Neigh-bourhood Watch,” he says.The crime statistics revealed that

both Wynberg and Diep River policestations experienced a reduction inburglary at residential premises forthe 2014/2015 financial year.Wynberg police reduced residential

burglaries by 141 caseswhile DiepRiv-er police had 627 cases reported duringthis financial year compared to 646cases in the previous year.Meanwhile Kirstenhof police had

significant increase in residential bur-glaries with 62 more cases reported.The statistics also revealed that

Wynberg Police Station is the only sta-tion in the cluster which managed toincrease the amount of arrests fordrug-related crimes.Last year the station had 563 arrests

cases and 574 in the last financial year.

ArrestsLatchman says stations have also

made significant arrests in a numberof crime categories.“Numerous persons have been ar-

rested for possession of dangerousweapons, which could, had they notbeen arrested, led to more seriouscrimes being committed,” she says.Police have also arrested a number

of people for being in possession of sto-len property, which in turn have thenled police to arrest people in connec-tion with house break-ins.“The cluster commander, Brigadier

Aaron Mlenga, together with his sta-tion commanders, want to reassurethe community police are committedin its fight against crime and wish tothank all roleplayers for their contri-bution in creating a safe and secure en-vironment for the community,” sheadds.V What are your thoughts on crime statistics?Do you think they are accurate?

Take care with the fish you eatTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Choose green. Keep our seafoodstores plenty.

This is the message that WWF’sSouthern African Sustainable Sea-food Initiative (Sassi) is spreading,so that seafood lovers are morecautious of what they consume.

After noticing that many con-sumers enjoy fish without pausingto think what that means to the en-vironment they decided to turnconsumers’ mindsets.

To make sure that people are inthe know about the kind of fishthey eat Sassi embarked on a sev-en-month campaign.

The education campaign, called#SASSIstories, helps people makeenvironmentally responsible sea-food choices.

Sassi is known for its traffic lightsystem, which classifies seafoodinto green (which is a best buy), or-ange (think twice) and red (don’tbuy).

This is based on the sustainabili-ty of the different species.

Sassi says it’s about to get evenmore colourful.

On Tuesday last week Sacs Jun-iorSchool inNewlands,Pick ’nPayand Sassi unveiled a mural as partof the campaign.

This was to highlight their com-mitment to the conversation about

seafood. The mural is mainly fo-cused on retailers to also committo giving their customers what ison the Sassi approved list.

As part of the partnership Sacs’Grade 6 pupils did a survey to geta picture of whether consumersunderstood what was at stake and

surveyed 800 people in their com-munity.

The pupils concluded that educa-tion was vital and, though most

people knew the impact their choi-ces had on the species, they justdidn’t want to do the right thing.

Pavs Pillay, manager of the Sassiprogramme, says she was amazedat the pupils’ work.

“The project is a perfect exampleof team work.

“This is more than just eatinghealthy but it’s showing respect tothe fish and the seas, so that thespecies is not extinct. We have tobe aware of our consumption ofseafood and have an understand-ing of it because extinction of thespecies will affect the whole chain,with human beings included.

“I really appreciate and amthankful for the work done by thepupils; we will also use it in our re-search.”

Janine Basson, Pick ’n Payspokesperson, says it’s very impor-tant to support good education andprovide things that uplift the com-munity.

“This is ground-breaking andit’s so much about the ethos of ourcompany; that’s why we really sup-port the initiative. It shows the lev-el of team work and collaborationand it’s very meaningful that re-tailers use their strength and influ-ence to make a change,” she says.V SMS 079 499 8795 or download the freeSassi app to check the status of any fishyou order or buy.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

Wynberg police arrested two suspects onthe recent public holiday after they at-

tempted to rob three women.The victims were walking on Main Road

at about 07:15 on Thursday 24 Septemberwhen they were approached by the sus-pects.Warrant officer Silvino Davids, spokes-

person of Wynberg police station, says thewomen alerted police officers, who were onpatrol at the time. The women pointed outthe suspects.“The officers immediately chased the sus-

pects, at which point one of the suspects re-moved a pistol from his pocket, but did notpoint it at the police officers,” he says.Davids says the suspect with the firearm

dropped the weapon during the chase butpolice caught up with both of them and ar-rested the suspects.. Meanwhile, two police officers arrestedaman for being in possession of a stolen CDplayer.The officers were patrolling in Station

Road on Tuesday 22 September at about14:30 when they spotted the suspect with aplastic bag. “They searched the bag andfound the CD player. The suspect’s parents

were called and questioned butwere unableto say where their child got the item from,”Davids says. The suspect was arrested andchargedwith being in possession of a stolenitem..During a separate arrest later on the sameday police received information about aman trying to sell a car.“The suspect was trying to sell a white

KiaPicanto forR5000 inStationRoad.Whenpolice arrived at the scene the suspect wasin the driver’s seat. When questioned aboutwho the owner was he said it belonged tohis girlfriend,” Davids says.However, when police checked the car

registration it was found to have been re-ported stolen in Sea Point.“The suspect was arrested and detained

at the Wynberg police station and chargedfor being in possession of a stolen car,” Da-vids says.. Police also report that several cases oftheft out of cars have been opened recently.“Various items were removed from the

cars, include a wallet, bank cards, a jacket,driver’s licence and car radio,” he says. Thethefts occurred between 19 and 20 Septem-ber. “One incident occurred in Kenilworthbetween 18:30 and 22:00while the other inci-dent in Wynberg occurred at about 06:40,”Davids says.

DIEP RIVER

Drug arrests almost doubleASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Diep River police station has reportedthat there are about 216 “dial-a-drug out-

lets” in the precinct and officers are findingit hard to get them under control.They have, however, made some arrests.Warrant officer Keith Chandler, spokes-

person of Diep River police station, saystheir drug and drunken driving arrestshave gone up 75%.“We have more successes in drug-related

crimes and drug abusers through our stopand search operations,” Chandler says.This was revealed during a joint meeting

of neighbourhood watch representatives,private security companies and the police.Chandler says among property-related

crimes house break-ins still remain an is-sue. The burglars come into the communityfrom surrounding areas, he says.“We find that when asked why suspects

prefer this community they say: ‘It is theland of milk and honey’. We therefore wantto urge residents to ensure their propertiesare secured all the time as this crime occursduring the early hours of the morning andlate evenings,” he says.Residents are asked to be particularly vig-

ilant during 04:00 and 06:30 and after 19:00.Chandler says the many properties in

Plumstead which are not protected by highwalls attract criminals.“They will enter properties where there

are nowalls or security gates and steal littlethings, such as pot plants.”Thismay evenbe an opportunity for them

to check out what else there may be to comeback for,” he further explainsHe encourages residents to report suspi-

cious people and items that have been re-moved from their gardens.While theft out of motor vehicles also re-

mains an issue, Chandler says such crimesmainly occur when cars are parked outside

on the road or in parking lots.“People need to refrain from leaving their

valuable property in their cars as this isnegligence on their part,” he says.

On thieves’ wish listThe most prominent items stolen include

iPads, cellphones, bicycles, tools and potplants from gardens.Chandler adds that Main Road remains

the main crime hotspot in the policing pre-cinct as crime moves from Wynberg all theway towards Diep River.“Crime in the residential area is fairly

quiet and well-monitored by the variousneighbourhood watches and security com-panies and this has contributed to the de-crease in residential reported crimes,” hesays.Chandler sayshewants to encourage resi-

dents to continue to report crime to ensurethe police can act effectively.V Call 021 710 7300 to report crime in this precinct.

Diep River MainRoad remainsone of thehotspots ofcrime. Police saymost incidentsare reported onthis stretch ofroad.

Residents areurged to obey the instructionsof lifeguards when making use of publicswimming facilities.The City of Cape Town’s sport, recreation

and amenities department has made an ef-fort to ensure that its facilities are ready forthe summer school holidays.More than 200 trained lifeguards will be

on duty at the City’s 35 swimming pools.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, says thousands of people areexpected at the pools.“In the rush to cool off on warmer days,

children especially tend to get caught up inthe moment and forget about being safe inthe water,” she says.Walker appeals to users of the public

pools to obey the lifeguards and the City’s

staff. “Our municipal swimming poolsshould be places of fun and recreation. Irre-sponsible behaviour, which places other us-ers at risk, will not be tolerated. The mostimportant role of a lifeguard is to preventdrownings at our pools,” she says.According to Walker the swimming pools

will be open every day this week until Sun-day.Thereafter, theywill be openonweekends

until the end of October. From Novemberthe swimming pools will be open every daybetween 10:00 and 17:00.During the peak season, between 16 De-

cember and 15 January, the pools will beopen daily between 09:00 and 18:00.The Sea Point, Blue Downs, Strand,

Mnandi and Long Street public pools areopen daily throughout the year.

“Regular water testing will be conductedto ensure that the water quality at all of ourpools is safe and of an acceptable standard,”she says.Walker says no private events will be al-

lowed at municipal pools in the interest ofpublic safety.“Only the ‘Learn to swim’ programme

and swimming galas will be allowed,” shesays.No alcohol, glass containers, pets, tents or

weapons of any kind may be brought to thepools.No running and horse play, no dunking

or diving off shoulders, no ball games andno pushing in and around the pool are al-lowed.Children under the age of seven need to

be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Prevention is better than cure.As we contemplate the latest crime statistics, released

last week, one can’t help but feel depressed by the bleakpicture painted in these figures.

And even more disconcerting is the speculation that thestatistics are not accurate – either due to manipulationor due to a lack of reporting crime.

But aside from calling for independent audits and taskteams to tackle crime, we need to take a long, hard lookat our communities.

Surely preventing crime is easier than finding solu-tions to stop it, especially as it spirals ever further outof control?

Police are often unable and unwilling to respond tomany calls – and when they do, their lives are on the line.We see courts unable to cope with case loads and forcedto throw out all but the most serious of crimes. We haveseen prisons overflowing, with many prisoners never re-formed.

It’s long past the time when we simply react to crime.We need to start raising a generation that never wants

nor needs to turn to crime. This not only includes raisingchildren with a strong moral compass, but also creatingan environment with opportunities other than crime.

Children need to be educated – and not just with a mat-ric certificate – so that they can find work and realise theconsequences of their actions.

Jobs need to be created, by you and me, with internshipopportunities and learnerships for the youth to take themoff the streets and give them a future.

Children need to be raised in homes with good rolemod-els (that’s you, Mom and Dad) so that they don’t aspireto gangsterism.

The time for leaving this to government and the policehas passed.

It’s up to us now to create these changes.

‘Hazard move’ is driving me crazyI have for many years noticed a tenden-cy in regard to our minibus taxisindicating [as] they are pulling off theroad to the left or right to pick up ordrop off passengers.

The strangest part of this action isthat they put on their hazards and,without other signals, pull off in front ofmotorists to the left or right side of theroad. These last two days it became evenmore apparent when I drove behind afew minibus taxis – all of a sudden ongoes the hazards and now I and otherroad users must guess: Are they going tostop dead in front of me or other motor-

ists or somewhere else?Motorists must guess if they are going

to pull off to the left or right of the road.Is there some unwritten law, or law

we the Jan Publiek are not aware of,that allows minibus taxis to do thishazard move or is there a school forminibus taxis that tells drivers thatwhen you are driving you and you alonemust put on your hazards when youintend to pull off next to the road?

How many times have I almostknocked into a minibus taxi because ofthis practice and how so not many othermotorists?

I was taught that when I travel on aroad in a vehicle and I want to turn left,I put on my left indicator. I can under-stand if a minibus taxi driver indicatesleft if he wants to load or offload passen-gers on the left side of the road andwhen he has stopped, puts on hishazards – that makes perfect sense.

My question is: Has the right trainingbeen interpreted in the wrong way?

Please, traffic department, clear thisup with us and the minibus taxi indus-try.

Celeb shows off hoodCape Town Tourism has launched the

“Love Cape Town neighbourhood se-ries”, a collection of videos revealingthree of the city’s suburbs.

The videos are a direct response to the“travel like a local” trend. This after re-search revealed visitors want to experi-ence the places they travel in ways thatexpose them to the quirky and interest-ing features enjoyed by locals.

Showcasing local hidden gems aroundthe city, three areas have been chosen forthe first videos in the series, with anoth-er expected to be made in the next threemonths. Viewers are given a sneak peakinto the local hotspots by well-knownCape Town residents.

Celebrity chef Karen Dudley takes youto Woodstock, with its eclectic blend ofold and ultra-modern Cape Town, localcomedian Siv Ngesi to the cosmopolitanheart of the city centre and musician Ar-no Carstens to the beautiful coastal sub-urb with the feel of a fishing village, KalkBay.

According to CEO Enver Duminy,Cape Town Tourism is responding to thistrend to explore local haunts by loadingneighbourhood guides to areas aroundthe Mother City on to YouTube.

“We understand that we’re appealingto the main target audience, but also thatwith this new trend we can actively

spread the positive effect of tourism,” hesays.

Being exposed directly to travellers al-lows local businesses, especially the small-er ones, to be showcased on a global plat-form, Duminy explains.

“This will also allow for a direct injec-

tion of funds into areas beyond the tradi-tional tourist routes or sites. This will ul-timately lead to increased job creationand a wider spread of the tourist rand,”he says.V The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownTourism.

Cape Town Tourism has created a video series to intimately reveal Cape Town neighbour-hoods, like the city centre and its gems like the Company’s Gardens.

Players of Old Mutual sports club weretested, which included measurements forblood pressure, blood glucose and weightstatus. The screening included counsellingfor anyone with concerning numbers. It was

a great success and saw a good turnout, edu-cating all about the risk factors which mostpeople were not aware of.

With the aim of reintroduc-ing provincial soccer at lo-cal soccer association level

and to develop amateur soccer inthe region, the Goodwill tourna-ment is about to showcase thewealth of talent across the country.

The Cape district will be hostingthe tournament for the secondtime. It takes place at the WilliamHerbert sports complex fromThursday to Saturday.

According to Iqbal Kasker, thisyear’s tournament coordinator,the advent of unification and theera of professional soccer have toa certain extent taken its toll onamateur soccer in the country.

“Gone are the days when the sea-son’s climax was the annual inter-provincial tournament which allplayers, administrators and spec-tators looked forward to,” he says.

The selection and awarding ofprovincial colours to players whoperformed well throughout the sea-son was a treasured experience toaspire to, he says, as he recalls fondmemories fostered through friend-ly rivalries forged through theyears.

“One only needs to reflect on theexisting tournaments still beingrun by codes like hockey to witnessa level of rivalry, competitivenessand camaraderie that most of ouryoung players (if not all) have not

yet experienced,” Kasker says.One of the custodians of amateur

soccer in the country, the North-ern Areas Football Association(formerly Eastern Province SoccerBoard) created the tournament torekindle the interprovincial tour-nament.

Since the Safa regions cannot ca-ter for all its players, whilst theydid introduce interprovincialgames for certain divisions, it wasfelt that the local associationsshould do something themselves.

The interprovincial Goodwill lo-cal soccer associations tourna-ment was launched at the head-quarters of the Cape District in2007. The first tournament, in PortElizabeth in 2008, was won byMitchell’s Plain. The Cape Districtwon the inaugural u.15 title.

U.11, u.13, u.15, u.17 and seniorteams will compete in the tourna-ment, which starts at 09:00 on allthree days.

The eight local associations havebeen divided into two sections – Aand B groups.

King Williams Town LFA and CapeTown Tygerberg
