BELGRAVIA: PLEA FOR ‘RESPECT’ Watch gets uphill from residents TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN @LeeLaVidaLoca T he once almost 40-strong Belgravia Neighbourhood Watch has dwindled to only nine. And the community organisation says a lack of respect for their volunteer work by homeowners is to blame. Last year, the group was lauded as one of the biggest crime-fighting groups in the Ath- lone policing precinct. Chairperson Riyaad Petersen says resi- dents from the Vygieskraal informal settle- ment show them more respect than their own neighbours do. Patrollers are often sworn at and dis- missed by homeowners, he insists. “They don’t see us as part of the law. They think only the police can take action. But most of the time, we are first at the scene – that is, if the police even show up.” Members started throwing in the towel at the beginning of the year, citing that they had had enough of the ill-treatment they were receiving from the very people they were trying to protect, Petersen says. Recruitment drives have yielded no new members, and those who have shown inter- est back off in fear of being targeted by crimi- nals. Athlone Community Police Forum chair- person Azizah Kannemeyer insists resi- dents need to work with their safety struc- tures and not against them. “Neighbour- hood watches provide a valuable service to the community, especially when police don’t respond quickly enough,” she says. “Athlone police only has two vans. This means if one van is responding to an inci- dent in another part of the precinct, and the other van is at a different crime scene, there will be no one to attend to your call out. But the neighbourhood watch will be there.” Recently, Petersen recalls, a watch mem- ber was chased off a resident’s property in the early hours of the morning. “The patroller had called the homeowners from their patio door, which was wide open at 04:00. When he didn’t get a response, he went inside to investigate. He woke up the parents, who responded by chasing the watch member away. They said their child left it open and they would close it them- selves,” he says. “This is how we are treated. We don’t want a pat on the back. We just want respect for the work that we do. Be courteous.” Athlone police station commander Colo- nel Krisjan Verwant says the Belgravia watch has made a significant impact in com- bating opportunistic crimes. “They have helped us tackle robberies, drug dealing and cellphone theft in the area. The neighbourhood watch is the eyes and the ears of the authorities, and the police are in charge of implementing law and order.” At a recent community meeting, a watch member called on locals to stop complaining and do something constructive to take back the streets. “We also leave our families alone at home to patrol while you sleep.

Patients using the Dr AbdurahmanCommunity Day Centre and Clinic inKewtown are hopeful that a multi-mil-
lion rand initiative will see better serviceprovided at the government facility.Aimed at improving patient satisfaction,
the provincial health department recentlylaunched a planwhichwill see day hospitalswith the best customer survey results re-warded.Prize money of R60 000 has been set aside
a month.Thismoney can be used for improvements
not budgeted in the facility’s annual plan.Provincial health minister Theuns Botha
says the cost of the project for two years isR7.62m.The purpose of the programme is to
change the organisational culture of staff atthese facilities and directly improve facilityemployees’ people skills, he says.The initiative has Dr Abdurahman pa-
tients breathing sighs of relief, as they saythey’ve “had it” with staff who have “nomanners and don’t know how to treat peo-ple”.Manenberg resident Alfreda Abrahams
says although there are other healthcare fa-cilities closer to her home, she chooses totravel to Dr Abdurahman because she con-siders the area safer.However, she says the attitudes and serv-
ice she received from health centres inneighbouring areas are far better than at theKewtown day hospital.Abrahams says after a recent visit to the
facility, she is doubtful whether she will bereturning.“From theminute I entered the door I was
put off by sour faces that don’t even returna smile. I had been waiting in the queue fortwo hours. When I asked when I would behelped, a nurse said that everyone was wait-ing and if I’m impatient, there’s the door. Iwas so shocked I didn’t say anything,” sherecalls.Patient Edwin Louw says he, too, was sub-
jected to a dismissive attitude and unprofes-sional behaviour.“While on my way home after my last vis-
it, I noticed that my medication package didnot contain all my tablets. I went back andwanted tomake sure therewasn’t amistake.I was told I had to wait my turn and neededto go to the back of the queue,” he says.
“I refused. I was then ignored until anurse came and said she’d help me.”Many elderly people are “treated like dirt”
at the facility, Louw insists.“People generally don’t visit a day hospi-
tal for a happy reason. This isn’t a job people
should do if they don’t have compassion.I understand theywork under a lot of pres-sure, but there needs to be a certain levelof respect.”Botha says the recently launched plan
strives to support staff and offer themskills in their daily dealings with patients.“We realise we have to equip them with
the right tools, skills and techniques forpersonal development. The programmerecognises and rewards committed em-ployees for going the extra mile,” he says.The aim is to help staff to relieve stress,
have fun and improvemorale. Surveys aredistributed every month measuring theprevious month’s progress to see trends,improvements and weaknesses that re-quire further intervention.“Future interventions include work-
shops for champions, group coaching formanagement development, and a competi-tion to award the facility where staff is
bringing tangible results to the patient experi-ence,” Botha says.Among the expected outcomes are a de-
crease in staff burn-out and absenteeismwhich in turn will lead to improved staff mo-rale, improved communication between staffand patients andmore satisfied visitors, he ex-plains.For the first phase, the department has de-
cided to focus on the District Health Serviceas more than 90% of government patients areattended to at these facilities.Klipfontein Sub District Health Forum
chairperson Isgaak Kamaar says while it isgood to see the health department making aneffort to improve patient experience, it is nota long-term solution.“How long will it be before someone starts
manipulating the system and causes it to loseeffectiveness? There is too little staff and thesefacilities cannot accommodate the number ofpatients,” he says.“That is the main problem and unless the
department builds more facilities or expandsexisting ones, we will be repeating the sameproblems over and over.”V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

HANOVER PARK: MOM’S RELENTLESS SEARCH TO FIND HER MISSING SON
Final farewell for grieving familyCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Four months after a body was found bur-ied in a shallow grave along VanguardDrive, a mother has finally found clo-
sure.Almost two years ago, Helen Kwatiyo saw
her son Roland Hendricks for the last time.Her drug-addicted first born, who lived in
Hanover Park, was last seen in Athlone be-fore he disappeared on 22 July 2012.After exhausting all possible avenues, in-
cluding distributing pamphlets and sendingout emails, Kwatiyo knew he would not befound alive.Word spread in Hanover Park, and resi-
dents informed her of gangsters who mayhave been involved in his disappearance.Intent on finding out what happened to
him, she began her own investigation lastyear as, without possible leads, police hadregistered the incident as a cold case.“I had to find my ownmeans of getting in-
formation because I knew it would be a longprocess had it gone through the proper chan-nels,” she says.Her family joined in her quest for justice,
following up on all leads received. Therewere numerous tip-offs, none of whichproved successful.Their breakthrough came in January.
Kwatiyo’s brother was informed through afriend that Roland was killed and buried onVanguard Drive. “The friend had been inconversation with the two suspects, whowere unaware that he knew us. They toldhim everything – how he was killed andwhere hewas buried.With this information,I went to Manenberg Police Station because
I couldn’t take the matter further on myown.” In the early hours of Wednesday 22January, shortly after reporting the lead,she pointed out her son’s possible locationto the authorities.Sniffer dogs found the remains, confirms
Manenberg police spokesperson LieutenantIan Bennett. “The remains of a 23-year-oldmanwas exhumed froma shallowgrave,” hesays.The four-month wait to confirm a DNA
match was unbearable, she recalls.“It was torture waiting all the time while
I knew it was my son that was found. Thebones were covered in the clothes he was re-ported missing in. I gave the police a toughtime, but all investigations had to be doneby the book,” she says.Last month, it was confirmed the remains
were indeed those of her child.
A funeral service was held on Friday atMountview High, Roland’s alma mater.Kwatiyo is still struggling to come to
terms with losing her eldest son. “We arestill very sad about how Roland had to leavethis earth. Even thoughwehave buried him,it still opens up a lot of wounds. But I justhave to be strong for my family and will askthe Lord no questions,” she says.Even though her son was caught in the
grip of drugs, Kwatiyo says Roland wasn’ta gangster and didn’t deserve to die in sucha cruel manner. “It is tragic. But I hope thatwith his death, other children and adultswho use drugswill learn a lesson from it andconsider it an eye opener.”Three suspects are in custody in connec-
tion with Roland’s murder.V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

The bins are used to cart rubble, stolenitems and even groceries, says Manenbergpolice spokesperson Lieutenant Ian Ben-nett.
In addition, he continues, the bins are alsobeing melted to make weapons such aswhips and batons.
“We have been experiencing a concerningincrease in thenumber ofwheelie bins beingstolen andhaveno ideawhere they are beingtaken. Residents are urged to be alert and toreport anyone they see walking around witha bin they suspect was stolen. Mark all binsclearly with your house number and streetname so that we can identify the property,”Bennett encourages.
Even gangsters are using wheelie bins totransport their contraband, ManenbergCommunity Policing Forum spokespersonRandall April says.
“We have received complaints from peo-
ple claiming that the stolen bins are beingused by gangsters to transport guns anddrugs. It is sad that criminals can think solittle of other’s possessions.”
April advises residents to only place theirbins on the street just before dirt collection,whereafter it should be brought back ontothe property. “We need to become alert andresponsible. Bins are expensive to replace somaking sure it is placed outside and broughtin on time will benefit you in the long runand save you money,” he says.
Mayoral Committee member for UtilityServices Ernest Sonnenberg says bins
should be kept on the resident’s property un-til the scheduled collection day.
“There is a tariff which can be charged torecover the cost of replacement for damagedor stolen bins. Currently, this tariff is onlyapplied where the customer has been foundto be negligent,” Sonnenberg says.
An example of such negligence is if the binwas stolen from the pavement on a day otherthan the scheduled collection day.
The current replacement cost is R406,83.To apply for a replacement bin, residents
would need to report the theft of the bin tothe police. They will receive a police case
number or a copy of the affidavit. Residentsshould then contact theCity’s Call Centre on0860 103 089 or email [email protected] and provide their municipal ac-count number, address, contact name andnumber as well as the police case numberor copy of an affidavit.
“The call centrewill create a systemnotifi-cation and provide the customer with thereference number. The bin should be deliv-ered within five working days,” he says.V How do you protect your wheelie bin? Starting withthe word “Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes costR1.

Your SMSes. The vagrants should be trained as securi-ty guards and be used by stadium manage-ment. The City should give them a chanceand a better life, not push them aside for aparking area.
. Definitely not. They will tell you thatyou need to come forward with proof – yetthe transactions happens in broad daylight.I’m willing to let them visit my home in nor-mal clothes to sit and watch the parkthrough my window. We need help becauseit’s getting out of hand. The park was not up-graded for that purpose. Or are we all justturning a blind eye because there might bea finger in the pie?
. No, they do not react to calls. For exam-ple: a house in Field Crescent – nothing is
being done there.. I would like to advise Abigail Fester and
Ronald Julies not to get their hopes up toohigh. I live near them in Telford Avenue andI’ve been waiting for kerbs, rainwater chan-nels and road edgings for 36 years. It’s theonly road without it. Good luck to you.Calvin Fisher
. I don’t think the police should be ques-tioned, they can only do what legislation al-lows them.
. Athlone police is rotten, with officer re-ceiving hand-outs. Some of them also usedrugs, so how can they rid us from theirsource? They are corrupt. They have neverclosed a drug den. Neighbourhood watchmember
. The photo in last week’s newspaper isin Bokmakierie, not Alicedale.
. I don’t think there are enough police of-ficers to cover all areas. The drug lords are
not concerned about destroying our chil-dren, as long as they get the money. Peopleare crying for homes, but they use it for drugdealing. If only people will be more open andhonest with themselves.
. I don’t think the police do everything intheir power to combat crime in any area.
. Athlone police, Metro Police and Su-zette Little are useless. I’ve witnessed peace-ful communities going down the gutter andBridgetown is on that same way as a resultof these hopeless institutions and council-lor. They don’t care. Residents who votewith their hearts and not their heads shouldlook around them – everything is worse.Wake up, it’s time for improvement.KSamp-son, Bridgetown
. Councillor Little, what about the evi-dence of violence that has grown in the area?I’ve experienced it first-hand. It is alwaystough for neighbours to provide proof, asthey don’t have the time to watch them 24/7.I don’t have confidence in our ward council-lor. We need new representation; someonewho is for the people, not their pockets.
. I’m a resident of Park Town in Delphini-um Street. Yes, pavements are important.Think of people with wheelchairs. We arewaiting for the tarring of our pavements formore than 30 years. Willy
. Now we will wait and see what councilwill do about tenants abusing itsrental units. Concerned, Kew-town
. I really admire our policeforce. Before long we would readof arrests being made – do not un-derestimate our police. They get
their man most of the time. Meanwhile, wepray for their safety because they also havefamilies. God bless you and keep you safe.
. Pavements are very important. I hope,when its completed, people will make use ofit and not continue to walk in the road.
. There have been seven break-ins at aproperty in Walnut Road. I have tried to getthe cops here once. I eventually drove downto the station. The patrolling cop’s phonewas on silent. Pathetic service fromLansdowne police. You used to be the bestat a time – what’s happening?
. How can you just dump your child? Youas the parent must repent one day. God islooking over us. Aisha, Manenberg
. I am disappointed by the dismissive atti-tude of the City of Cape Town. It’s plain tosee a small stand like that should not havethree apartments on it. It’s greed that is driv-ing this. Silverlea resident
. In defence of Lansdowne police: as a res-ident of Armstrong Crescent, Mount View,I see the police vans at least five times a day.Shierj Adams
. I’m very disappointed about how peopleare lying about Willy’s Place. He sticks to theallowed trading hours and closes on time. Hedoesn’t allow violence. Why do they notclose the drug houses? It is safe to buy at theshebeen.

CONSUMERS: ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR GEYSERS
How rebate affects youMICHELLE LINNERT
@linnertMB
Electrical geysers may well continue toguzzle up some 60% of household elec-tricity supply as some incentives by Es-
kom to get more people solar-savvy havebeen cancelled.The energy supply giant said it has placed
its Load Reduction Rebate Programme un-der review, meaning rebates worth thou-sands of rands it has been doling out to solar-enthusiastic households will be severlycurbed.A leading solar products company has
since drawn up a petition against the energygiant because of this decision to cut rebates.“In a surprise move, Eskom has terminat-
ed the current solar rebate programme, ef-fective from 1 May, with minimal notice tothe public, industry and other stakehold-ers,” said Klint Munton, owners of SunScanSolar Energy Technologies.“This means that all Eskom solar rebates
will fall away, in stark contrast to their pub-lic image of endorsing, supporting and sub-sidising more energy-efficient ways of heat-ing water and, in turn, saving electricity,”Munton said.“Eskom’s major campaigns, which have
cost millions, warn us to cut back on our us-age and urge us to turn off pool pumps, gey-sers and non-essential appliances.“Despite this, electricity demand still ex-
ceeds supply during peak periods, and nowEskom is pulling the plug on their endeavor
to save power by their subsidising of energy-aware consumers who install power-savingwater heaters and geysers,” Munton said.“The question remains that with an elec-
tricity grid under severe strain, how is itpossible that a programme such as the LoadReductionRebateProgrammecanbediscon-tinued?”The City of Cape Town, a major Eskom
customer, said the rebate cuts only appliedto high-pressure solar geysers, and then on-ly if the components used in the making ofthese geysers have beenmostly locally man-ufactured.“There are new requirements around re-
bates and high-pressue systems, being thatrebates will only applywhere production in-cludes 70% locally produced components,”said Sarah Ward, head of the City’s energydepartment.Ward said there had been little movement
regarding the low-pressure systems mostlyused in low-cost housing schemes.“The national low-pressure solar water
heating programme is on hold. It has beenfor the past two-and-a-half years,” she said.This is in line with Eskom’s response.The energy giant said the rebateswere not
cut completely, but are taking a differenttack.“The programme is under review to en-
hance certain aspects such as creatingmoreopportunities to stimulate local manufac-ture, and the level of rebate,” said LatetiaVenter, Eskom’s marketing and communi-cations manager.“The programme will continue, but with
changes which are currently under consid-eration,” she said.“There will be no negative implication to
the grid as the subsidy will continue.“Selected areaswith low-cost housing con-
sumers will continue to receive low-pres-
sure solar water heating systems for free,”Venter said.There are two popular kinds of solar-pow-
ered geysers: one that works with solartubes, the other with solar flat-plates.A typical 200F solar tube system for a fami-
ly of four costs R29 697. The Eskom rebateon this system is R5 865. Thus, in total, itcomes down to R23 832. Munton said with fi-nancing this amount was repayable over upto five years with a monthly instalment ofR998.“One very important point to note – the
tubes are only manufactured overseas.South Africa does not have a manufacturefacility to make this product,” Munton said.“With Eskomwanting to do awaywith the
rebate on imported products this is going tolimit the homeowner to flat-plate technologyonly.“This becomes problematic when the
home owner has a roof orientation which ismore than 45° off north. Flat-plates do notperform well when placed on such a roof,”he said.Another problem was the threat posed to
local businesses which have bought into themanufacturing of alternative energy.One such business is that owned by David
Lipschitz. His company advocates net-me-tering – an alternative energy solutionwhereby households generate their ownelectricity and sell any excess back into thegrid.Lipschitz said the rebates were just one
way in which Eskom and the government’sapproach to alternative energy is puttingsmall manufacturers out of business.He said if governmentwould spendmoney
on alternative energy sources to create theirown electricity, it would free up enough en-ergy for industry.Munton’s petition against the rebate cut
remains. Eskom’s response to the petitionwas brief: “Eskom is not intending to closethe programme.”V View the petition at https://secure.avaaz.org/en/pe-tition/Phindile_Baleni_CEO_of_NERSA_Petition_Es-kom_to_keep_the_Solar_Rebate_for_ALL_products/?wMnMphb

Tigers tears upSuper League ALIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
UCT installed themselves as early sea-son Super League A title favouriteswith a fourth comprehensive victory
last weekend.The Ikey Tigers are the only side to have
played more than one game and taken maxi-mum points from all, and currently top theleague standings.
They launched straight into their SuperLeague A campaign after winning the Varsi-ty Cup, with the momentum serving themwell.
The Tigers kicked off the campaign witha 49-22 demolition of Tygerberg at FloridaPark, before thrashing NNK 64-28 at the JanBurger Stadium, cruising past Kuils River38-12 at the Green Mile and pummellingPrimrose 49-11 at Rosmead on Saturday.
The bonus point victories means UCThave a points total of 20 and lead second-placed Victorians by five points.
However, their toughest test so far comeson Saturday in the form of rivals Stellen-bosch University – also unbeaten after three
matches. They are currently in third placeon the log with 14 points.
UCT beat Maties both home and a awayin the Varsity Cup this year, and the MaroonMachine will be itching for revenge.
Maties will have to improve on their lastshowing, a narrow 19-18 win against top tiernewcomers False Bay at home on Saturday.
Both UCT and Stellenbosch will also be inaction on Wednesday 14 May, facing SKWalmers and Helderberg respectively.
Hamiltons are also expected to put in astrong challenge for the Super League A titlethis season after a promising showing at theCommunity Cup.
The Sea Point side finished third, losingjust once during the tournament.
South Africa’s oldest club edged Victori-ans 31-28 in their opening game last Satur-day and can be expected to pull off anotherwin away against Kuils River this weekend.
SK Walmers will travel to face Helderbergin their fifth game of the season, looking topick up their third victory.

‘Black and Yellow’on a goal huntLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
Milano United will need to win big tohave any hope of qualifying for theAbsa Premiership promotion/relega-
tion play-offs.The Grassy Park side are currently fourth
on the National First Division (NFD) table,level on points and goal difference withthird-placedBlackLeopards but trailing dueto an inferior number of goals scored.Milano can still finish the season placed
second or third and qualify for the play-offs,but will need to pull off a high-scoring victo-ry in their final game or pick upwhat pointsthey can and hope for favourable results inother fixtures.Any of the sides from second to fifth place
can still finish in the second and third spots.Second-placed Baroka FC will host 10th-
placed Thanda Royal Zulu, and will be ex-pect to pull of a win to increase their pointstally to 52 to seal second place.Third-placedBlack Leopardswill travel to
fifth-placed Jomo Cosmos, who could in-crease their points total to 49 and climb tothird on the table if they win and Milano donot.The Black and Yellow will host Chippa
United, who were crowned league champi-ons on Sunday, andwill finishwith 50 pointsshould they win.
Should Barokawin – as expected – andMi-lano and Black Leopards win by the samenumber of goals, Leopardswill remain thirdthanks to a higher amount of goals scored.Should Baroka draw or lose, victories for
Leopards and Milano will see both sides gothrough – with goal difference or goalsscored again the deciding factor for whichteam finishes higher.Milano United lost 1-0 to Chippa in the re-
verse fixture in December and have scoredthe least goals in the top four this season.All signs seem to indicate that the Black
and Yellow could struggle to pull off any vic-tory, never mind one which improves theirgoal difference significantly.V Milano United vs Chippa United will take place atRooikrans Sports Complex in Ninth Avenue, GrassyPark at 15:00 on Sunday 11 May.
