Now residents are asking for it to be demolished or restored with urgency. The Eva Court flats have been unoccupied for almost two months, while the block is being upgraded. Residents of Eva Court were moved into temporary container housing in October and were told the upgrade to their council homes would take six weeks. Construction then came to a standstill at the beginning of No- vember when contractors downed tools due to continuing gang vio- lence. Mayoral Committee member for Human Settlement Siyabulela Mamkeli says two site visits have already been conducted and a third is scheduled for this week. “This has been a challenging project from the start. Contractors vacated the premises due to the on- going gang violence experienced in the community. This, together with extensive damage to both the exterior and interior of the build- ing, has made it difficult to remain on schedule,” he says. “As a result it has delayed the project’s completion date and resi- dents have been forced to stay in temporary accommodation for longer than anticipated. We are evaluating the damage and will try to get the project back on track as soon as possible. I appeal to resi- dents to bear with us while we rem- edy the situation. I assure resi- dents that all units will be restored and improved.” Eva Court resident Yazid Bro- phy claims residents haven’t re- ceived any communication or feed- back regarding the way forward. “We haven’t heard anything from the City of Cape Town, the construction company or the local municipality. We have sent many letters to the City and no-one has responded with any news as to the way forward,” he says. “The sad part is that our homes are being damaged in front of our eyes and there is nothing we can do.” Brophy says what should have been a short six-week stay now seems like an endless nightmare. “The gang violence has stopped, but vandalism has increased and the perpetrators are just walking about without a care in the world, with the police just driving by.” Resident Sharifa Khan says the vandalised flats are their homes not just a house. “Our children and even some of us were born here. The fond memo- ries we have are slipping away day- by-day along with any hope of re- turning home. I wish we never left,” says Khan. “We can’t afford to buy new homes and now what was supposed to make our lives easier has torn it apart. I don’t think it is fair.” A resident, who spoke on condi- tion of anonymity, says she has been suspicious about the activity taking place on the site ever since she noticed people coming and go- ing from the property carrying bags. “I don’t know if it is thieves and gangsters stealing or if it is va- grants who have decided to move in,” she says. Manenberg police spokesperson Lieutenant Ian Bennett confirms they have received complaints in connection with the property and perform stop-and-searches around the area to ensure no illegal activi- ty is taking place. “We are closely monitoring the property as it has been used as a getaway spot for criminals before. We have made five arrests with re- gard to vandalism and damage to property. Council needs to step in and secure the site because we can not afford to use scarce resources to work as private security.” says Bennett. Community Police Forum chair- person Randall April says the building is a major concern. “Whenever you have a vacant property it serves as an invitation for criminal behaviour especially at night. It also increases vagrancy and theft in the vicinity,” he says. “We need to appeal to the City to come forward and either restore or demolish the building.

Residents also need to re- port any suspicious behaviour or activity so that police know it is an area that needs to be focused on.” V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.

RYGATE
Fields of damageTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Over the past few months vandals anddrug addicts have been tearing aJohnson Road sports ground apart.
Everything from fencing to wires inlamp posts have been stolen from the Ryg-ate sports field.There is currently no electricity on the
field, that is used bynumerous sports clubsin the vicinity, due to the damage done tothe electric boxes, floodlights and cables.Rygate president Bennett Bailey says all
theburglarieshavebeen reported to thepo-lice and City of Cape Town departmentsand urgent assistance is needed.“It has come to the point where we are
unable to have proper games at night. Wedo not have electricity at the field due toall the cables, electric boxes, floodlightsfrom the building and cables from fieldfloodlights being stolen,” he says.“Over the past threemonthswehavehad
eight burglaries despite having a securityguard. Every time there is a burglary wehave to spendmoremoney to replace stolenproperty and equipment. If this continueswe won’t be able to afford the ongoing re-pair costs.”Ward councillor Magadien Davids con-
firms he has been notified of the thefts andsays it is sad to see the state of the complex.“It is frustrating to know that there are
people disrespecting property that is usedto uplift the community and children. Atthe same time I am upset because it is peo-ple in our own community who are doingthis,” Davids says.He has urged local residents to stand up
and take responsibility and has promisedto make funding available for repairs.However, Davids says, this will not be a
long-term solution.“This is a good facility and a lot ofmoney
has been spent on it. It is all good to saywe will repair the damages but that is nota sustainable solution. Everyone needs totake responsibility for the facilities in theircommunities and increase security or getneighbourhood watches to assist with pa-trols,” he says.Davids says involving the community is
a good way to save money.“If residents living around the property
kept an eye and local neighbourhoodwatches make a turn, it could save a lot ofmoney that one would have to use for a pri-vate security company.”Athlone Police Station commander Kris-
jan Verwant confirms the incidents havebeen reported to the station but says policeare unable to act as private security.“We don’t have the capacity or manpow-
er to patrol facilities. The sector vans doregular patrols in their areas, especiallyaround hotspots but that is only around fa-cilities. Burglaries and theft in theprecinctremain high and December usually sees abig spike in the number of these incidentsreported to the station,” says Verwant.“We urged residents and community or-
ganisations to secure their properties andensure that alarms are set. Do not leavegates and doors unlocked or open, do notleave desirable items outside where theycan be seen and inform a neighbour orsomeone you trust if you are not going tobe at your property over a long period,” heconcludes.Residents can report vandalism inci-
dents anonymously to the City on the toll-free number 0800 225 669.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

VYGIESKRAAL
Residents at odds with copsTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Residents ofVygieskraal informal settle-ment say they are fed-up with the al-leged lack of respect shown by some of-
ficers of Athlone Police Station.This follows a case made by a shackdwell-
er to the Independent Police InvestigativeDirectorate (IPID) claiming officers invadedher house and attacked her and her son.A case has been logged and is being inves-
tigated by the IPID, confirms spokespersonMoses Dlamini.He declined to comment further at this
stage as the investigation is still pending.The resident, who does not want to be
named, says officers burst into her housetwoweeks agowithout a searchwarrant andshoved her to the floor.She claims fourmendressed in police uni-
form entered the property and started at-tacking her and her son while allegedly be-ing in the hunt for drugs.She says when she asked them to identify
themselves they refused to give their names,but said they were from Athlone Police Sta-tion.Neighbours, who heard her screaming for
help, entered the house as the men wereleaving and recall them driving away in apolice car.“We were busy eating when they came
bursting through the door. They knockedmy plate out of my hand and said they werehere looking for the drugs,” she says.“I told them here aren’t any. They swore
at us and told us to keep quiet. One threwmy son on the floor and told him to stop cry-ing.”Hanks says the officers not only damaged
her furniture and were disrespectful, buthave left her son traumatised.“The one officer swore and screamed at
my child,while the other hit him. Police aresupposed to be examples to children and berole models. Children aren’t supposed to bescared of the police,” she says.Athlone Police Station commander Colo-
nelKrisjanVerwant disputes the allegationsand insists “everyone is innocent until prov-en guilty”.“I can’t confirm or deny the allegations
made until the investigation has been com-pleted. These are serious allegations and
will not be taken lightly. I take my job veryseriously and always remind officers thatwe are here to serve and protect the commu-nity. If any officer steps out of line it will notbe tolerated,” he says.“If residents experience any violence to-
wards them from an officer it is importantfor them to provide a name or registrationnumber of the police vehicle as well as thedate, time and place. This makes it easier tofollow up. It is also important to report theseincidents.”Neighbour Eric Lakay says he has lost all
trust in police. “It is unacceptable how theytreat us. We didn’t do anything. Who givesthem the right to come in our homes and doas they want?” he asks.Athlone Community Police Forum
spokesperson Aziza Kannemeyer says shehas not been notified of the incident, butadds this is not the first time officers fromthe police station have come under fire for
police brutality. “There have been many in-cidents this yearwhere residents, especiallyin the informal settlements, have madethese allegations,” says Kannemeyer.

No report cards to be withheldAs schools begin to issue pupils their endof year report cards, principals have beenwarned that the withholding of marks willnot be tolerated.
Provincial education minister DebbieSchäfer says in previous years the depart-ment received several complaints from par-ents where the school refused to releasetheir child’s report card due to non-pay-ment of school fees.
“Schools are not allowed to withhold pu-pils’ results for any reason whatsoever. Pu-pils and their parents have every right toobtain their official results at the end of theschool year,” she explains.
Schäfer says she understands and sympa-thises with many schools who battle to col-lect school fees from parents, especiallywhen some parents can clearly afford them.
However, she explains discriminatingagainst a pupil for the financial decisionsor position of a parent will not be tolerated
She has appealed to all parents to reportincidents where reports are withheld be-cause of non-payment to their nearest dis-trict office.
“Should the department receive any com-plaints of this nature we will investigate
and take further action, as required.”Schäfer has also appealed to parents to tryand settle their outstanding fees, if they arein the position to do so.
She warns that schools can take legal ac-tion against parents who owe fees and whodo not qualify for exemption or partial ex-emption.
“School fees remain an important sourceof additional funds in public schools andthe school governing body have every rightto take legal steps to recover those fees.”
Parents qualify for exemption if theschool fees are more than 10% of the par-ents’ combined annual salary.
In 2013, over 105 000 pupils claimed ex-emption from school fees.
This resulted in the department payingout to schools over R44m in fee compensa-tion.
“There are processes in place to assistparents that genuinely cannot afford theirschool fees. We are also cognisant of the factthat some parents financial positions canchange overnight,” Schäfer adds.V Do you think schools should withhold reports ifschool fees are not paid?

SYBRAND PARK
A safe haven for childrenTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
The new home of the Amy Biehl Founda-tion will not only benefit those in itsimmediate surrounding but the great-
er Athlone community too.The foundation recently bought the dilap-
idated New Africa Theatre building nextto Klipfontein Road bridge in Sybrand Parkand renovations are now going full steamahead.
The building, which has been vacant foralmost two years, will be ready for occupa-tion by next March, says foundation spokes-person Michelle Bagley.
The Amy Biehl Foundation is a non-profitorganisation that offers programmes to de-velop and empower young people betweenthe ages of five and 18.
The programme focuses on assisting chil-dren living in challenging and vulnerablecommunities within the province.
The new facility in Sybrand Park willserve as a venue for office space as well asclassrooms for the foundation’s new entre-preneurial school.
It will also have accommodation for inter-national volunteers working with the foun-dation.
“We are very excited about this newbranch of the foundation. We look forwardto working with about 200 young people andteaching them the skills needed to starttheir own business ventures. This class willbe for children aged 17 and older,” she says.
“The new building will also have a stageand performance space where our childrencan perform, and a coffee shop . It will alsobe a way of raising funds.”
Bagley explains that any child is welcometo join the programme.
“We don’t turn anyone away. It is impor-tant for us to provide a space where chil-dren can express themselves, be educatedand also have a creative outlet. We also wel-come volunteers.”
The foundation currently works withover 2 000 young people in areas such asNyanga, Gugulethu, Manenberg and Cross-roads.
In each area, over 300 students attend thefoundation’s programmes daily.
These include after-school care, musiclessons, HIV/Aids peer education, greeningand environment, literacy, creative arts aswell as various sports.
Bagley says the programmes place a fo-cus on the creative side of the child’s brain,and supplement the shortcomings of the ed-ucational system in the townships.
“There are huge inadequacies in theschools in which we work, creating a greatneed for our programmes.
“In these communities almost 50% ofchildren don’t make it to matric. The foun-dation aims to make learning enjoyable andencourage youngsters to want to learn,” shesays.
“Aside from encouraging children tolearn, we also create a safe environment forchildren to be stimulated after school sothat they aren’t vulnerable to crime,” con-cludes Bagley.

MANENBERG
Plan of actionin placeTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Manenberg police have launched theirfestive season plan and will be con-centrating on operations at drug
dens and illegal shebeens.There are currently 59 illegal shebeens
and 61 drug dens operating within the areaand this has raised many red flags.
Officers have already confiscated106 264.68F of alcohol and about 1 440 gramsof drugs, but they say this is only the begin-ning.
Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-ant Ian Bennett says ensuring that all resi-dents are safe and abiding by the law is apriority.
“We don’t want any more innocentdeaths, especially around this time of theyear.Weare increasing our patrols andwillbe strict in enforcing the lawwhen it comesto the sales of drugs and alcohol.
Both are substances that not only lead totheft and other petty crime, but can alsoevoke violence,” he says.
“We experience a spike in domestic vio-lence and abuse every year during the fes-tive period and we want it to stop.”
Community Police Forum chairpersonRandall April says monitoring activity atshebeens and known drug dens will have tobe a priority.
“We will be using the neighbourhoodwatch and volunteers to assist the police intackling the problem. The number of drugdens and illegal shebeens operating in thearea is a big shock and needs to be ad-dressed. Every day that one of these people
operate is a potential tragedy waiting tohappen. We need to act now and stand to-gether as a community,” he says.
“We shouldn’t allow this to happen andI am appealing to anyone with informationregarding illegal activities to please comeforward. We will also be using the neigh-bourhood watch to patrol on weekends.”
Staff that are usually office-boundwill al-so be used as additional members to in-crease visibility during this festive season.
Nyanga cluster operation will also bedriven by information received from theirIntelligence Unit.
This includes gang intelligent opera-tions, robberies, theft aswell asmonitoringshopping centres and main transportroutes.
Manenberg Police Station commanderBrigadierAndre vanWyk says the high vis-ibility of police officers includingmetro po-lice officers has proven to be successful.
“The Manenberg and Philippi policingprecinct returned to calm after police in-creased its visibility by saturating the areaduring volatile periods. We will follow thesame procedure for the festive season,”says Van Wyk.
“Wewill focus on following up on arrestsof wanted gang members and those affiliat-ed to gangs. The stop-and-searches will alsobe very important to monitor drugs, weap-ons and ammunition coming in and goingout of the area.”

revive the oldmarket to create a safe outingfor residents while boosting the reputationof the CBD.
“Here is a lot of crime in our communitiesand even in the CBD. For a long time peoplehave been avoiding the CBD because it hasreceived a bad reputation as a crime andgrime area.Wewant to change that and cre-ate an experience where people would wantto come and visit the CBD again,” adds Ju-lius.“We have been cleaning up the CBD and
it is looking great. The festive market willhopefully attract people to the area andshow them that it is a clean and safe placefor the entire family.”The Christmas market will also be an op-
portunity for local vendors and entertain-ers to display their crafts.Those interested in having a stall at the

PEOPLE'S POST | ATHLONETuesday, 9 December 2014 NEWS 9RAILWAYS
Improving pedestrian safetyA public participation process for the
construction of a pedestrian bridgesouth of the Nyanga station and
Lansdowne Road will soon be opened.Following this public participation proc-
ess, it is expected that the design for the con-struction of a pedestrian bridge will com-mence in the 2015/16 financial year, the Cityof Cape Town recently released in a state-ment.
This recommendation is in response to acomprehensive investigation that was con-ducted by Transport for Cape Town, theCity’s transport authority, into pedestrianmovements along and across rail lines in thecity between April 2013 andMay 2014, as pera request from the Passenger Rail Agency ofSouth Africa (Prasa).
The movement of cyclists was also includ-ed in this study as bicycles are often carriedacross the rail lines.
Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port for CapeTownBrett Herron says the de-partment will work with Prasa, Metrorailand the national Department of Transport
(NDoT) on an implementation programmeand action plan for the next five years. Thisprogramme aims to address pedestrian safe-ty at railway lines.
“As per existing legislation, the City, Pra-sa and theNDoT have different institutionalresponsibilities and line functions with re-gard to railway crossings. The collaborationbetween transport CapeTown, these twokeyrole players, and Metrorail is thus of vitalimportance if we want to address the highnumber of fatalities and injuries due to pe-destrians crossing rail lines illegally.”
According to Metrorail’s statistics, up to68 fatalities were recorded in the vicinity ofthe stations in Nyanga (26), Philippi (15),Heideveld (9), Netreg (9) andBonteheuvel (9)between 2010 and 2013.
According to the City’s statement the fa-talities were all caused as a direct result ofpedestrians crossing railway lines at placeswhere there are no formal pedestrian or ve-hicle crossings.
“This, in part, will address one of the find-ings in the study that a large number of peo-
ple need to cross railway lines on a daily ba-sis and that the provision for formal cross-ings in areas with high volumes ofpedestrians is generally not being given pri-ority.”
During the study, up to 24 pedestrian andvehicle level crossings were audited and as-sessed in terms of infrastructure, pedestrianprotection and accessibility, access controlsystems, fencing, and signage.
According to the City it was also foundthat most pedestrian crossings have ade-quate signage, but are lacking in mainte-nance of the rail reserve, fencing and accesscontrol and that there is inadequate provi-sion for pedestrians and cyclists at vehiclelevel crossings.
The maintenance, upgrade and monitor-ing of these 24 level crossings is thereforerecommended.
The study also identified 16 hotspot loca-tions across the city in need of interventionwhere people are crossing rail lines in theabsence of formal pedestrian crossings, aswell as legal pedestrian and vehicle cross-
ings where the conditions for pedestrianshave to be improved.
“These figures confirm the seriousness ofthe challengewe are facing as the City, PRA-SA and Metrorail to improve the safetyalong our railway lines. Of even greater con-cern is that children accounted for 40% ofthe pedestrian movement east and west ofBonteheuwel station between Philippi andMandalay station; east of Langa station; andnorth and south of Heideveld station.”
He adds that while the City is responsiblefor thepathwaysandpedestrianbridges thatprovide street-to-street access, it is Prasa’sinstitutional responsibility to provide andmaintain fencing as well as to maintain thebridges and subways that provide pedestri-answithaccess from the road to theplatformand between platforms. “They need to placesignage and host awareness campaigns, andto maintain the infrastructure within therail reserve and the associated assets. It ispossible to improve residents’ safety at raillines and we are committed to working to-getherwithPrasa, theNDoTandMetrorail.”

AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY
Saying ‘no’ to abuseTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Children who have suffered at the handsof an abuser have empowered them-selves through public expression.
The annual Air Your Dirty Laundry cam-paign took place last week at the SaartjieBaartman Centre for Women and Childrenin Manenberg.The event is a creative awareness initia-
tive used as a platform for children to speakout against abuse.Phrases like “Loveme, don’t hurtme” and
“Hands off” were painted on t-shirts by eachchild and hung across makeshift washinglines.This year, children currently residing at
the centrewere joinedbypupils fromSurrey
Estate Primary School and Christel House.Facility manager Shaheema McLeod says
an alarming number of child violence andabuse cases have been reported since thestart of the year.“Violence is something that shouldn’t just
be highlighted during 16 Days of Activism,but every day of the year. It is unacceptableand often it is our little ones who are si-lenced by these crimes,” she says.“That is why we put the focus on children
during this event to educate them on whatabuse is and how to report it.”The centre operates on awalk-in basis and
provides counselling for women and chil-dren who have been abused.Aside from the 500 survivors who visit the
centre for assistance, there are also 100wom-en and children living at the facility.

citement at the weekend for the open-ing of Cape Flats Stories: The Voice of

ages youth to express their views through avariety of mediums. Based on the artworkdeveloped by youth this year, People’s Postand the Castle of Good Hope invited LifeChoices to develop an exhibition that high-lighted their beneficiaries’ work.The exhibition will run until Friday 30

StMartin’s ability to show-off its battingprowess in which they clobbered ninehits off the pitching staff of Roxanne
Albertyn and her sister, Justine Stewart,was the key factor in their 6-4 victoryagainst Tantasport in their Western Prov-ince Softball Federation Super League en-counter at Turfhall Stadium on Saturday.
The Saints scored their six runs in thefirst three batting frames, with four runs tothe good in the first inning and added twomore in the third to hold a 6-0 advantage atthe ending of the third inning.
However, Tantasport fought back welland somewhat started to get their act to-gether by scoring runs – two runs per in-ning in the fifth and seventh frame respec-tively.
Nevertheless, Shanine Groepies occu-pied the mound for St Martin’s and in herseven innings pitched, she faced 32 batters,conceded four base-on-balls, earned threestrike-outs and allowed five hits – four sin-gles and a three bagger – of which Stewartshowed great character with the bat.
Stewart, in particular, was Tantasport’stop batter with 3-4 which included a threebagger while Amber Jossie (1-3) and Stacy-Lee Stewart (1-4) secured a one base hit.
However, RoxanneAlbertynwas first outof the blocks to start the pitching duties forTanta and last for 2.2 innings on the rubber– facing 20 batters, conceding two base-on-balls and gave up six hits (five singles anda double).
Relief pitcher, Stewart, who earlier didduty at short-stop, occupied the mound forthe remaining 4.1 innings and allowed onebase-on-ball, scalped three batters and sur-rendered three hits (two singles and a dou-ble).

Milano Unitedease throughSHIFAAN RYKLIEF
Eezy My Kinnes ended their last gameat home before the break with a stun-ning 2-1 over neighbours Santos at
Philippi Stadium on Friday evening.As expected, it was a high tempo encoun-
ter between rivals Milano United and San-tos, filled with crunching tackles and afierce battle in the middle of the park. TheKinnes came close to opening up the scor-ing in the third minute after Devon Saal andDeniro Stanley teamed up superbly on theedge of the area, but Saal’s final shot wasblocked by the oncoming Fagan Muller.
At the other end, Muller made no mistakefrom close range when he gave the People’sTeam an early lead in the seventh minutewith their first chance of the game. Mullerwas in the right place at the right time andtapped in a loose ball following a dead-ballsituation, after goalkeeper Lee Langeveldtmade the initial save.
Minutes later, the former Santos attackerStanley was on the end of a through-passand attempted to lob the ball over the headof Gambian International goalkeeper PaDembo Touray, but was denied by the wood-work.
The visitors started off strong as antici-pated and did a great job in the midfieldwhere captain Tyren Arendse and SizweNyambi were closing down all the spaces.Their quick pressing midfield were restrict-ing Milano from building up play into thefinal third, yet, the Kinnes persisted andshowed signs of an equaliser.
A quarter way in, Brandon Theron camenarrowly close to levelling matters, but wasdenied by Touray from a one-on-one situa-tion. Milano repeatedly harassed CheslynJampies down the right-hand side throughthe speedy Ganief Stellenboom, who contin-uously got the better of him.
In the 24th minute, Theron made it 1-1when he put the ball into the back of the netfrom Stellenboom’s pass across the face ofgoal.
Santos captain Arendse attempted fromdistance in the 38th minute after 30-minutesof play without a shot on goal. A frustratedFagrie Lakay also attempted from range,
but his uncontrolled shot was off target aswell.
Nasief Morris came up for a corner set-piece and came close to scoring what couldhave been the goal of the season, but he wasunfortunate to see his overhead-kickcleared off the line by Sachin Dawood. Be-fore the break Stanley rattled the wood-work yet again with a ferocious shot follow-ing an exquisite one-two play on the edgeof the 18-yard area.
The visitors were eager to start the sec-ond period strong, but shots from both Su-hayl Allie and Arendse went high and wide.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end, Stanleybeat shot-stopper Touray for a third timebut was denied once more by the upright.
Santos’ Lakay was well contained by thelanky Taariq Fielies who minimised hisdaunting runs in the final third. Fielies,who enjoys attacking down the line, had aphenomenal game as he cut off the danger-ous Santos attacker.
Lakay and Santos’ top goal-scorer Alliewere nowhere to be found in the last halfhour of the match as the home side keptthings compact.
In the 75th minute super-sub Brent Adon-is found the back of the net with a headedattempt from a Nazier Jacobs set-piece, af-ter just six minutes on the pitch.
With five minutes left on the clock, thereferee gave both Richard Webber and Dar-ron Omaticus straight red cards followingan altercation. The Kinnes closed shop andintroduced the experienced Shane Poggen-poel and went on to secure maximum pointson the night. – www.capetownfootball.co.za
