Awareness is being spread throughout theManenberg community in the lead up to
the festive season.Manenberg police conducted an operation
in the area to make the community awareof their personal safety during the festiveseason.According to Manenberg police spokes-
personLieutenant IanBennett theoperationhad two purposes.“The one was to create personal safety
awareness. We find that individuals actrecklessly and this leads to criminals takingadvantage of a vulnerable situation. Also re-porting of criminal activity so that it can beaddressed immediately.”He said the second part of the operation
was to look at public transport.“Thisplaysavery important role in ensur-
ing a safe passage for people to and fromtheir places of work.”He says it was a joint operation between
the police and the traffic department.V Anyone with information on crime can contact Manenberg police 021 699 9400 or Crime Stop on0860 010 111.
The joint operation between Manenberg policeand the provincial traffic department sawsafety information sheets handed out toresidents.

There is a new non-profit organisation onthe block and it is ready to make a differ-ence.Restoring Hope is an organisation based
inRetreat dedicated to bringing about a pos-itive change and hope to previously disad-vantaged communities.The concept and idea came about when
founders Mikhail Kroutz and Kelly Jacobsrealised there was serious need and a lackof positive activities and initiatives in localcommunities.“We are currently facing a time where
gang violence, drug abuse, alcohol abuse,domestic violence, lack of community own-ership, poverty and a lack of respect anddis-cipline are prominent in our communities,”Dale Hendricks, director, says.Hedricks says due to the lack of positive
activity and guidance youngsters are feel-ing despondent.“They feel that turning to gangsterism,
drug dealing and other mischievous activi-ties are the onlyway out of their daily strug-gles and pain they are living in,” he says.The Restoring Hope organisation wants
to change thismindset and its stigmaamongyoungsters and even adults affected by thenegativity. By organising outreach initia-
tives they want to put emphasis on the factthat there is hope and that you can achieveyour goals and dreams regardless of the sit-uation or position you find yourself in.The organisation’s objectives are aimed
at promoting community developmentthrough service provision, income-generat-ing projects, strengthening overall commu-nication and collaboration within the com-munity.Hendricks says they also focus on bring-
ing about positive change in the broadercommunity, adding value to the lives of peo-ple, doing youth development through sportand recreation, organising community de-velopment and decreasing social problemslike drug and alcohol abuse and gang vio-lence.“We also want to create a sense of owner-
ship within the communities by ‘restoringhope’ in thosewho lost all hope, through im-plementing positive initiatives within thecommunity to create unity among people,”he says.The organisation runs a number of initia-
tives, which include food and clothingdrives, motivational speaking and work-shops (at schools, community centres, pris-ons and events), sport initiatives and out-reach programmes at hospitals, orphanagesand old-age homes.“We encourage residents, youth and any-
one interested in bringing about positivechange to get involved in our volunteer pro-grammes, community cleaning projects,gardening projects and recycling projects,”he says.

Residents and students of Heideveld havea place where they get resources to help
in their final push to a successful exam orcareer.Heideveld library in Heideveld Road
boasts its own partitioned study area, wherestudents can complete projects as well asstudy in a safe, quiet and well-lit area.Anthony Moses, councillor for ward 44,
says the project was initiated in April toserve the need of pupils at first.“The aim of the project is to provide stu-
dents as well as adults with an area in thelibrarywhere they can study theirwork anddo their projects. It gives students an areawhere they can go through career books forfurther education and adults can use thespacewhen looking for employmentwithoutany interference from younger library us-ers,” says Moses.Besides offering a service, the library
wants to use the study area as a drawcardfor members of the public to show themthere are areas in the library which can pro-vide for their needs.Moses says the estimated cost of the entire
project is about R125 000, which was provid-
ed from the ward budget. The project tooktwo weeks to complete.In addition to widening its services to the
public, Heideveld Library has won the Dis-play of the Year award, an annual competi-tion held by the City’s library management.A theme is provided to libraries and the li-brary staff construct a display around thattheme. The Heideveld library also won anaward in the reading competition in the cat-egory for Afrikaans.A senior librarian says the staff are grate-
ful to Moses for helping and being an inspi-ration for what the library has achieved sofar.

The youth are often seen as the flag bearersof tomorrow, the flag bearers of civil socie-ty’s future.
45 youth members (26 boys and 19 girls)between the ages of 14 and 24 from Heidev-eld, had an experience they would havehopedwould equip themwith the tools withwhich to run their respective communitieseffectively in the future.They,with volunteers from the communi-
ty who accompanied them, took up camp atthe Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve out-side Muizenberg recently.The overall objective of the camp was
geared at fostering leadership among thegroup aswell asworking together as a team.Participants took part in team building
activities such as nature walks and fitness
programmes.Anthony Moses, councillor of ward 44,
which includes Heideveld, says the three-day camp was also aimed at teaching theparticipants skills to run sports and recrea-tional programmes in Heideveld in the fu-ture.He says the camp would also be an ongo-
ing initiative for future generations of theward.“There will be two camps annually – a
summer and a winter camp for the youth,”he says.Moses hopes the programme grows from
strength to strength, provided the commu-nity continues to show their support and in-terest.“Anyone who is actively involved in the
community, who volunteer their time to as-sist in the community, is welcome to join,”he says.

The Red Cross War Memorial Children’sHospital honoured its founders at the annualRemembrance Day celebration on Wednes-day last week.The day is celebrated on 11 November to
honour theWorldWar II servicemenwho do-nated twodays of their pay towardswhatwasto become the Red CrossWarMemorial Chil-dren’s Hospital.Their vision thenwas to create a livingme-
morial in honour of their fallen comrades.Today, the world-class hospital saves thelives of more than a quarter million childreneach year. Next year the hospital can cele-brate 60 years.
Military dignitaries in regiment uniformshave gathered with their families on the hos-pital’s premises on Remembrance Day eachyear since 2011, and a ceremony takes placeto pay tribute to the heroes who originatedthe iconic hospital.
The ceremony has grown in stature and at-tendance and this year more than 150 guestsandmembers of the public attended. The pro-gramme included the Cape Field ArtilleryPipes and Drums, the Isivunguvungu YouthBand, marching sentries and Moths stan-dards, the “Last Post”, twominutes of silenceand “Reveille” as well as a wreath laying.Liz Linsell of the Children’s Hospital Trust
says it is important that they acknowledgeand remember the veterans who were so in-strumental in the founding of the hospital.In 1945, it was suggested that a children’s
hospital be built as a memorial to those whohad contributed by sacrifice, suffering andservice in World War II. It was felt that chil-dren had been the innocent victims of thewar, so the hospital was devoted to the reliefof the suffering of children.The building commenced in 1953 under the
guidance of the South African Red Cross So-ciety at a cost of R1.6m. In 1956 the ownershipof the hospital was handed over to the West-ern Cape government.

Athlone hosts pageantEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
In what has become an iconic Cape Townevent over the years, the annual Spring
Queenpageant celebrated its 40th anniver-sary at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.
Pageant organiser Sactwu says the com-petition continues to inspire those work-ing in often testing circumstances to showoff their best work and be recognised forit, whilst also highlighting the plight ofclothing and textile workers.
“The Spring Queen has grown fromstrength to strength over the years,” saysNazmia Leite, Sactwu spokesperson.
The event is the largest fashion show
featuring workers as the models.“Even though the event was faced with
its most challenging issue, with the CityofCapeTowndenyingus theuse of ourhis-toric venue, theGoodHopeCentre, we stillhad 64 women competing for the title andover 7500 people attending at Athlone sta-dium.”
The crowdwas treated to a spectacle andeventually witnessed Zubeida Beyers-Maggott (28), from the Top Stitch factoryin Salt River, crowned as this year’sSpring Queen.
The Bonteheuwel resident won a holi-day to Mauritius to go with her R35 000study bursary.
First princess was Chavanne Arendse
from Trade Call Investments Apparel(TCIA) and second princess, was BarrieCline Factory’s Tammy Carr.
Other winners on the night includedChrystal Jaggers (Miss Personality) andCheryl Anne Witbooi, who was judged tobe the best dressed model at the pageant.
A new “own talent” competition hasbeen added to the event.
Now in its fifth year, it is gaining mo-mentum. It aims to give ordinary workersthe chance to show off their talents, be itthrough music, dance or drama.
Leite says a new part of the pageant, theJunior Spring Queen, aims to create andincrease awareness among young peopleof the importance of buying local.

Stopping in a secluded, quiet place tocatch up with your partner at nightmay not be the best idea, police warn.
Following several attacks on unsuspect-ing couples at lookout points along thecoastal road, police management is urgingresidents to steer clear after dark.The poorly lit area has become increas-
ingly popular for couples seeking alonetime after sunset.In the most recent incident, a couple was
parked at the Swartklip lookout point whenthey were approached by two men.“The suspects attempted to hijack the
couple, who were parked alone at the look-out point on Friday at 23:33,” says policecluster commander Major-general Abra-ham Goss.The boyfriend retrieved his licenced fire-
armand shot bothhijackers, killing oneandinjuring the other.“Bothmen arewanted in relation to other
cases. The one who was injured can belinked to several hijackings and house andbusiness robberies in the area,” says Goss.Criminals hide in the bushes and wait to
pounce on couples who visit the isolatedspot.“Now that the weather is changing, we
see people parking off at the coastal areasa lot more often. They would go to the pubsand clubs, then park off till 01:00 or even theearlier hours of the morning,” explainsGoss.While the couples are distracted, suspects
approach them and either rob or hijackthem.“This is dangerous, because it is very
dark at these places and it is far from the
residential area. If you are hijacked in theearly hours of the morning or late at night,it is long before you get to civilisation,”warns Goss.Police and law enforcement officers pa-
trol the beaches.But JP Smith, mayoral committee mem-
ber for safety and security, says they canon-ly do so much.“The City of Cape Town has limited en-
forcement resources andunfortunately offi-cers cannot be everywhere all of the time.The police therefore also have a crucial roleto play. With the festive season approach-ing, City enforcement staff will be deployedto the areas with the highest concentrationof visitors, like beaches and other public ar-eas,” says Smith.He agrees with Goss: “The reality is that
dark, secluded spots have an associationwith crime and other antisocial behaviour.I would therefore discourage the publicfrom visiting such areas after dark and ex-posing themselves to potential risk.”This applies to the lookout point and the
coastal area along Baden Powell Drive.And although police have increased their
patrols in the area, Goss urges residents totread with caution.“If you are going to visit these secluded
areas rather go in groups,” he says.Smith also urges residents to work with
the City’s enforcement agencies and policeby blowing the whistle on any criminal ac-tivity theymightwitness or be aware of, butalso by taking responsibility for their per-sonal safety.Smith says lighting these areas may not
make a difference and other priorities interms of providing public lighting in resi-dential areas and public spaces with hightraffic volumes should take preference.

Get involved in ECD centreEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Councillor Suzette Little has made an ur-gent call to the residents of Bridgetown
and the greater Athlone area regarding thedevelopment of the Centre of Excellence atNantes Park.People’s Post has reported on the initial
sod-turning ceremony for the developmentof the new centre, intended to provide about120 children with a platform to train andready themselves for primary school(“R2.8m to kickstart ECD centre”, 22 Septem-ber).Construction is due to begin on the site fol-
lowing the removal of rubble caused by ille-gal dumping at the site, which belongs to thedepartment of social development.The initial date for completion of the cen-
tre was set for July next year at a total costof R7.8m.In addition to providing early childhood
development (ECD) infrastructure, the cen-tre will be assisted in becoming compliant interms of health, fire safety and planning reg-ulations so that it may register with theWestern Cape department of social develop-ment.However, Little has called residents to
start becoming involved with the project totailor it to the needs of the community thecentre will serve.“Residents need to make the effort and
those who are interested in being service
providers for that ECD centre that is beingbuilt, should come forward to contact theCity, because they cannot wait until it isbuilt and being handed over and then saythat they were not aware of it.“They will see that the place has been
cleared, that the grass has been cleared off.They are going to start building very soonand they are going to see a lot of activity onthat site, but I need them to come forwardnow if they are interested in being part,” shesays.

Milano United is slowly but surelygaining ground at the top of Safa’sABC Motsepe Second League com-
petition. The team seems to be well ontrack to keep in touch with the top dogs bythe time Christmas comes.Desmond Crowie, Milano’s coach, saw
his team fight off the challenges of FCCapeTown’s Rebels team to win 3-1 in GrassyPark over the weekend.The result means that Crowie’s charges
nowboast 10 points (threewins andadraw,
with one loss) after five league outings.The Grassy Park team occupies third
place on the log – 1 point behind defendingchampion Glendene United (11 points) and
5 points behind log leader Steenberg Unit-ed (15 points), who has already played sixleague games this season.Nevertheless, Wade Crowie, son of
former PSL player and star coach DuncanCrowie (now a youth coach at Ajax CapeTown), put in an excellent display toshowed great experience on the field toplaceMilano United in a winning position,scoring off his first two shots at goal.The visitors then reduced the deficit, but
Ronwin George had other plans and re-stored Milano’s two-goal lead late in thesecond half with a well-taken goal of his
own to secure a 3-1 win for his team.

The players of St Martins soft-ball club were put throughtheir paces by Tantasports in
a Cape Town Softball Associationmatch at Turfhall on Saturday.
Had it not been for the eight runsscored in the sixth and seventh
frames, St Martins would havebeen staring down a comprehen-sive defeat in a tightly fought en-counter. Tantasport will feel harddone by following the hard work itput into the five frames precedingthe St Martins onslaught.
Tanta sprung into a 4-0 lead afterthe opening four frames, but couldnot add to its tally as it would suc-cumb 8-4 to St Martins.
The match saw five pitchersthrown into rotation, where Saintsmade use of three pitchers – Sha-nine Groepies, Lindsay Damonand Bonita Cloete. Between thethree of them, they saw off sevenbatters, striking one out while let-ting another three walk, concedingthree well-deserved hits, resultingin runs, where one intentionalwalk was conceded.
Saints’s third pitcher, Cloete,saw off 13 batters, striking out one,while conceding a hit through afielding error.
Only Aneeqa Davids (1-3) enKathryn van Boom (1-4) achievedjoy with the bat, being the onlyTantasport batters to obtain hits.
Nevertheless, they kept Saintshonest until conceding 9 hits offpitching sisters Roxanne Albertyn(5) and Justine Stewart (4).
For Saints, Danielle Ford (1-3)and Robin Packery (2-4) hit a homerun each and also accounted for six
RBIs amongst each other, whileAime Ford (1-2), Damon (1-2) andHanlynne Cast (2-3) also performedwell with powerful bats.
Other matchesFalcons and Westridge Yankees
played to a 3-3 draw.Defending champion Glenthorn
