The project is headed by the Bel- gravia Estate Waqaf Trust – an NPO which has been active in Belgravia, Vygiekraal Informal Settlement and Heatherdale for seven years. The organisation was established in 2004, but was officially launched two years later with the main aim of uplifting the community. The NPO runs feeding schemes and edu- cational programmes in the com- munity, and helps residents with burial and welfare issues. The organisation was founded by Moulanas Riyaad Jardien, Salie Davids, Nazmi Davids and Mobeen Alexander; also by Ebrahim Dav- ids, Nazeem Diedericks and Yaseen Antulay. Today the organisation has 50 members. At the youth centre/safehouse the founders are hoping to provide a haven for children who are ne- glected or abused, with qualified counsellors and caregivers. “We often see young children walking the streets alone with no supervision,” says Davids. “The parents are either consum- ing alcohol or using drugs with no clue of where their children are. People of all ages are addicted to drugs, many young women are prostituting themselves and con- stant criminal activity takes place. “And this is the reason a project like this is essential.” People’s Post previously reported that Vygieskraal Informal Settle- ment has been plagued by prostitu- tion, drugs and crime and Cape Town Child Welfare sprang into ac- tion after the article to tackle child prostitution in the area. Athlone police also continuously patrol the area (“Vygieskraal – ‘a burning hell’”, 2 March). A women skills project will also be launched in the area where un- employed women can be empow- ered with various skills so they can find employment or become entre- preneurs. Various upliftment projects will be held to keep people of all ages off the streets and instead involve them in positive activities. “Working in Vygieskraal Infor- mal Settlement we see how unem- ployment is a huge problem and drugs resulting in more serious crimes. “If we don’t do something, more youth will be on the wrong track. All we want to do is make a differ- ence,” says Davids. He says the mosque is also essen- tial because people need Allah (God) in their lives. Although Habibia mosque and St Athens mosque is close to Belgra- via, Heatherdale and Vygieskraal Informal Settlement, Davids says that residents are afraid to attend. He says many have been robbed on fields, which they must cross to get to the mosques. Two properties in 7th Avenue have been earmarked for the project. One property has been pur- chased, and funds are being raised for the second property. The founders are planning to be- gin renovations on the one house to convert it into a safehouse and youth centre later this month, as they have permission to do so. Once the other property has been bought, approval will be sought from the City of Cape Town to build a mosque on it. Miriam Diedericks, a member of the organisation, says the organisa- tion has gained a lot of momentum since it started and “with the new mosque, youth centre and safe- house, value will be added to the ar- ea”. The project will benefit people from all religions. . To raise funds for the second property a luncheon fundraiser will be held on Sunday 4 December at Belgravia High School. The lunch will start at 13:30 and tickets cost R120 per person. Every- body is welcome. For more information about the project; to become involved with the Belgravia Estate Waqaf Trust Organisation or to book tickets for the fundraiser, call the organisa- tion’s office on (021) 696-2277.

Killed after car chaseREYANA STEYN
ACAR-JACKING thief was alleg-edly shot when he tried to flee
the police who pursued him duringa car chase, and on foot.
The man, whose identity is un-known, apparently stole a car in Mow-bray on Saturday at 03:00, but was spot-ted by Mowbray police officers whowere on duty.
The man sped away in the directionof Athlone and the officers gave chase,also calling for back up.
It is understood that the officerschased the suspect in the stolen red Su-
dan until he stopped at Albaraka Bankon the corners of Klipfontein and Bel-gravia roads.
The man then got out of the vehicleand ran off trying to escape.
A police officer reportedly fired awarning shot into the air for the sus-pect to stop, but he continued running.
It is alleged that the officer fired an-other shot, which hit the man.
It is understood the man in his 30’sdied after the paramedics’ arrival.
Constable Zita Norman, Athlone po-lice spokesperson, could only confirmthe incident.
The case is being investigated by theIndependent Complaints Directorate.
VOC Festival goes goldONE of the most anticipated events on theCape Town social calendar took place thisweekend at the Cape Town market in Epping.
The Voice of the Cape (VOC) Festival witha Difference lived up to itsname, and kicked off on ahigh note on Friday evening,with the festivities continu-ing throughout the weekend.
VOC festival marketingconvenor Hassiem Bastrasaid approximately 60 000festival-goers visited the ven-ue over the entire weekend.
“We calculated that about20 000 people streamed in onboth Friday and Saturday.Although Friday got off to aslow start, the numbers in-creased throughout theevening. Saturday reallydrew in a bumper crowd asexpected, and there was a smooth flow of festi-val-goers on Sunday.” He said the overall set-up of the festival really worked, as there wasa lot more space and better structures in placefor the 15th annual VOC festival. “We couldplan things better this year because we tookpast experiences into consideration, and wealso added new and exciting events and enter-tainment, which pulled a crowd of both young
and old throughout the weekend.”Bastra said one of the biggest draw cards
was the drifting team, which kept the crowdin awe with just the sound of their engines.
“On Friday afternoon theroaring engines of the modi-fied cars were one of the mainattractions, and the fact thatindividuals could join the ex-pert drivers for an adrenalinride just added to the excite-ment of the crowd.”
He added that the corpo-rate exhibition made for anon-stop informative week-end, with everything from in-vestment organisations andhome décor companies show-casing their products andservices to potential clients.“The food available at theevent was absolutely deli-
cious, and there was just too much to choosefrom. There was the traditional tikka chickenstand, boerewors and braai stand, and in trueCapetonian style crowds stood in line for themany seafood options.”
Bastra said this festival really lived up toall the expectations of VOC and the communi-ty at large, with people attending from all overthe country.
A JOLLY TIME: Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille addressedthe crowd.

THREE PEOPLE’s lives came to asudden end in Manenberg over
the last week – two were murdered,and the other was hit by a van as hecrossed the road.
On Thursday, a 28-year-old man wasshot dead while he and two friendswere crossing the foot bridge over theN2 from Bonteheuwel into Heideveldat 20:30, says Lieutenant Ian Bennett,Manenberg police spokesperson.
Two men were crossing in the oppo-site direction. “Without any warning,one of the two men pulled out a gun andfired several shots in their direction,hitting the one twice in his head, aswell as in his body, before they fled thescene,” Bennett says.
The victim’s friends were un-harmed; the two men ran in the direc-tion of Bonteheuwel.
• A 24-year-old man was stabbed todeath in Pecos Walk, allegedly after anargument with a family member, at04:00 on Sunday 25 September.
“The Manenberg police were calledout to the Hanover Park Day Hospitalafter a man was admitted with a stabwound to the chest,” Bennett elabo-rates. “Shortly after his arrival, theman was declared dead by the doc-tors.” Following an initial investiga-tion, the victim’s 29-year-old uncle wasarrested in connection with the crime,and appeared in the Athlone Magis-trate’s Court on Tuesday.
The police, who have stepped up pa-trols in the area following the deaths,urge anyone who can shed light on ei-ther of the murders to contact Manen-berg Police Station on (021) 699-9400 orCrime Stop on 08600 10111; alternative-ly, send an email to manenberg-
as he was crossing the road.“According to eyewitnesses the 21-
year-old man crossed the road fromNyanga Junction towards Manen-berg,” Bennett says. “The pedestrianthen stood on the white line andthought that he was safe, but a deliveryvehicle travelling towards Mitchell’sPain on Duinefontein Road collidedwith him.” The driver stopped and gotout to help, but the man died at thescene due to his injuries.
Officers are now investigating a caseof reckless and negligent driving, andone of culpable homicide.
The identity of the deceased is un-known at this stage; anyone who ismissing a relative, or who can shedlight on the incident, is asked to con-tact Manenberg Detective ConstableDarryl van Noi on (021) 699-9433.
Police mystified by murderTHE Manenberg police are investigating a caseof murder after the body of a young man wasfound on the corner of Lansdowne and Duinefon-tein roads.
A passerby contacted police after stumblingacross a person lying next to the road last Tues-day at 21:45. “Officers arrived and found that theperson was already deceased,” says LieutenantIan Bennett, Manenberg police spokesperson.“Officers combed the area for clues, pinpointingthe direction the person had been walking in,and establishing whether he was alone.”
He says detectives, upon examining the body,found the man had been stabbed once in thechest. A search revealed that his cellphone hadnot been taken.
“The officers then went through the last callsmade by the deceased and contacted a relative,”says Bennett.
“The young man’s brother arrived at the sceneto identify him.”
The victim’s brother told officers the 28-year-old man had been to visit his wife in hospital,and was walking back home along DuinefonteinRoad to Samora Machel, where he lived.
Police say it seems robbery was not the motive
behind the murder.Anyone who can shed light on the killing is
urged to contact Detective Warrant Officer Rod-ney Abrahams on 076 848 4297.
TRAGEDY: A man was murdered last Tuesday, andpolice say they don’t think robbery was a motive.

Sunnyside’sshady problemREYANA STEYN
RODENT infestation and an unbeara-ble stench centre around mounds of
rubbish dumped illegally in Sunnyside,and the problem isn’t going away.
The open space in Hood Road has also be-come a known hotspot for robbery, say resi-dents.
Jack Morgenrood, who lives next to thefield, says he is fed up with the filth, and urg-es his community to keep the spot clean.
“This has been an ongoing problem, and itmust stop. The dumping mainly happens atnight; right now we are sitting with a rodentinfestation, and we have had to fill our homeswith rat poison.” He says the problem isn’tthe council’s, as the City does its best to keepthe area clean; he blames unscrupulous resi-dents for the mess. “The council alwayscomes out and cleans the field, yet a few dayslater people have again dumped on it,” saysMorgenrood. “People filthy clothing, sani-tary towels and domestic waste,” he adds indisgust. “It is a major health hazard. Peopleuse the open space as a walkway, and this iswhat they have to see.”
To make matters worse, the pensioner getsnothings but threats when he confronts thepeople he catches dumping.
The council had cleaned the field when Peo-ple’s Post visited it recently, but the moundsof rubble and refuse had already started togrow again.
As much as he respects the council’s clean-ing efforts, Morgenrood urges the City ofCape Town to look into proactive measuresto deter the dumping.
“Maybe they could look at enclosing thefield, or building something on it that couldserve the community. They could even useit as a recycling base.”
Councillor Magadien Davids says the plotcannot be fenced off as many residents useit as a thoroughfare, but he calls on residentsto report the people responsible for the dump-ing.
“It’s a concern – and residents should takeownership by reporting these people if theyknow who they are.”
A no-dumping sign will be put up, though,and “other solutions will be explored”, hesays. Under City bylaws, the minimum finefor littering is R500, with the maximumcapped at R10 000. Fines of more than R2 500can only be imposed by the courts, though.Dumping, meanwhile, incurs a first-offencefine of R1 000, and R20 000 on a second of-fence. Additional penalties vary dependingon the volume of material dumped, and inmore serious cases, offenders may be givena spell in prison. You can report illegally-dumped waste by calling 0860 103 089. If youhave any evidence of the dumper’s identity,such as a photo of his or her licence platenumber, contact the Solid Waste Bylaw En-forcement Unit on (021) 400-6157.

AN ATHLONE business owner wasrobbed of R50 000 cash by anarmed robber in broad daylight on
Wednesday last week.
The owner was on his way to deposit themoney – which was stored in a shoebox – ina bank behind Vangate Mall at 16:15.
A man walked up to him as he got out ofhis car; the stranger, holding a gun, pointedthe weapon at the business owner and toldhim to “drop it”, says Constable Zita Norman,Athlone police spokesperson.
The business owner did as he was told, andthe brazen robber simply picked the box upand took off with two others in a white Mazda626 that had been waiting close by.
“The vehicle drove off in the direction ofGatesville, and had no number plate,” Nor-
man says.The Athlone police once again urgeeverybody tobemorevigilant – andwarnpeo-ple not to carry large amounts of cash withthem, especially as the festive season ap-proaches.
Norman says people who deposit largesums of money should shake up their rou-tines to keep potential robbers from predict-ing their movements.
“People need to be careful when they depos-it money or withdraw from ATMs or banks.They should not withdraw large sums of mon-ey and then walk around with it. Perpetratorscould be watching, and would know the per-fect time to strike. With the festive season ap-proaching, people need to take responsibilityto protect themselves.”
Even so, she says, police officers will bestepping up patrols within the area in a bidto prevent crime. Norman says if people no-tice anyone who looks suspicious, they
should walk to the closest police officer or se-curity guard and alert them.
Lynn Oliver, Vangate Mall manager, saysthe surveillance cameras at the mall werechecked immediately after the crime, butnothing was found. “We constantly workhard to combat all types of crime from hap-pening in the mall,” she says. “We increaseour guarding compliment constantly, andview crime stats to identify patterns and pos-sible syndicates in theworks inorder to coun-teract them. This has been working well for
us thus far and the crime statshavedecreaseddramatically in the past months.”
Vangate mall management will be workingclosely with police over the festive season,and will bolster their security staff even moreto keep customers safe, Oliver says.
Anyone who can help police find the perpe-trators, estimated to be between the ages of25 and 35, or who has any other informationon the incident is, urged to contact the inves-tigating officer, Detective Sergeant WaliedAdams, on (021) 697-9279.

Thin blue lineA CAPE TOWN car thief died at the weekend,allegedly at the hands of an SAPS officer inAthlone, addingyet another statistic to the in-creasing rate of police shootings nationally.
While police gave chase, the man drivingthe car failed to stop as instructed, and wasfatally wounded.
The SAPS illustrated a steady increase inthe number of public claims for shootings bypolice in a report released last week.
Based on figures for the year ending March2010, these claims increased nationally fromR426 million to R526 million. Claims for po-lice assault reportedly increased fromR380 million to R506 million. While nationalPolice commissioner Bheki Cele says not allsuch claims are substantiated, the sharp in-crease remains a worrying indicator.
Intimidation and unwarranted violence bypolice in many communities are serious real-ities. Some don’t recognise the SAPS as a po-lice service, but rather a militaristic groupwielding almost absolute state-bestowed pow-er. While allegations of corruption within theranks remain rife, police remain at logger-heads with residents.
Some suggest the trouble is only worsenedby a lack of training and quality recruitment.But is the root of the problem inherited froma society in which the vast majority of thepopulace feared and loathed the police? Thisis very possible.
While stats like those released last week areconcerning, the SAPS are in some regardsmaking an effort. The more buy-in there isfrom the public for initiatives like communi-ty policing, hopefully, the better public andpolice will relate to one another.
And while organisations such as the Inde-pendent Complaints Directorate remain opento listen to grievances, we remain on the righttrack. It is true that SA officers have a longway to go to entrench themselves into somecommunities, but the fight to take this placeis a noble one, and entirely worth its weightin gold.

The alcoholic advert agenda
Giving heartfelt thanks amid grief
IT was interesting to hear that there are pro-posals to ban all alcohol advertisements,which in turn will hopefully discourage, itseems, alcohol abuse tendencies fromour cit-izenry of all ages.
Of course, there was a response from busi-nesses whose prime sole income is from thesale of alcohol, and some voiced their dismaythat it will effect their sales and, in turn, cur-rent and future employees status statistics(employment). Whether we, the public, arefor or against alcohol in whatever degree itis consumed,we realise that there are effects,which start in some cases in the foetal stageof our development as human beings.
The sober decision to ban all alcohol adver-tisements is to achieve a result like the speedreduction proposal to curb carnage on ourhighways and byways (speed kills), and theonly way to achieve a result in this case,
when you apply logic, is to drastically in-crease the price of alcohol at the counter.
Why this statement? Because when the to-bacco advertisements and related issues(smoking causes cancer) surrounding themwere banned, that did not stop the majorityof smokers puffing; no, it was the yearlybudget speech which increased sin taxes,and this in turn led to the decrease in ciga-rette packet sales – but the increase in thesale of loose cigarettes due to the INCREAS-ES implemented by the shop owners.
If we keep the above in mind it will resultin alcohol businesses still operating, but theconsumption will be decreased by the con-sumer due to the price increase of the alcohol
Survey any customer or consumer: If anitem becomes expensive, the result is lessbought.KEITH BLAKE

Softball season set to sizzleLYNN PRINS
SOFTBALLERS are set to spendanother summer of hot days onthe playing field when seasonkicks off this weekend.
Grass burns will be nursed andpressure will mount as everyoneaims to be the victorious team.Last season, Mitchell’s Plain’s Su-per League team Westridge Yan-kees took their game to anotherlevel when they were crownedknockout and league winners –and the pressure is on again, asYankees will have to work twice ashard to keep their titles from theirtough competitors.
A lot of interesting moves havebeen made by coaches and players,and spectators can only look for-ward to an exciting and entertain-ing season. With the likes of Ste-ven Rodkin (former Yankee) nowhead coach of Glenthorn A’s, Tan-ya Price head coach of Falcons,Bronwyn van Heerden with OldMutual Cubs, and Nazeem Dulvie,senior SA coach, making his ap-pearance again with the Yankees,
the season is sure to be a challeng-ing one. A further shakeup camewhen Falcons merged with Nor-man Henshilwood High School inConstantia.
Rodkin says both he and histeam are very excited for the sea-son. “Last season Glenthorn A’scame so close to winning theleague, so our goal will be to winthe league this season. However,winning the league is a long termgoal, and we have lots of smallgoals to achieve.”
Rodkin adds that preparationhas been difficult, since three ofhis players are in the SA under-19team.
St Martin’s, who were finalistswith Yankees in the knockout lastseason, came blisteringly close toending up fourth on the log for theleague, but Old Mutual Cubsnabbed the position. This season,St Martin’s will be coached by Jil-lian Alexander, who coached Gl-enthorn A’s to second place lastseason.
Van Heerden, who joined upwith OMC Cubs, says: “My feel-ings towards the season are posi-
tive – I do believe the season willbe challenging, as there have beenmany changes within the clubsand the level is evenly spread, soI am looking forward to somegood,competitive games.
“The OMC Cubs have beenworking hard, and there is a greatmixture of youth and experience.They are committed to improvingtheir personal game, and upliftingthe standard of play within theirclub.”
Price, meanwhile, says her teamis ready to take on the season andsecure the title. “We have goals forthe club this season, and not justthe team. We have youngsters wewant to develop and expose to bet-ter coaching and more opportuni-ties.
“The season will definitely be acompetitive one,” she echoes.
Yankees coach Dulvie feels simi-larly: “This season will be a toughone, especially with new team dy-namics, and we’re looking for-ward to an exciting, challenging,and competitive season, sincethere are new moves everywhere.
“Our team is definitely ready,
waiting in anticipation.”New players to Yankees’ ranks
are Kaylynn Stoffels (from St Mar-tins), Kim Nicholson (former SAplayer from Falcons, who ostensi-bly retired a season ago), AimeeCampbell (Glenthorn A’s) andCandice Stephens (formerly of Old
Mutual Cubs, and recently re-turned from Canada, where sheplayed for Calgary Kaizen). Ju-liana Forero Becerra from Colom-bia will make her return to Yan-kees. Tanta Sports’ Carly Mulder,meanwhile, will now play for Gl-enthorn A’s.

Newcomers set the soccer stageLYNN PRINS
IT WAS a tough road to the Coca-Co-la Cup soccer final, but JunctionRovers of Rygate LFA and Centralfrom the Northern Suburbs securedtheir spots for the first time afterhard semifinal play at Vygieskraalin Athlone on Saturday.
Both teams played excitingmatches, with Rovers handingWoodlands Mitchell’s Plain LFA asound 4-0 defeat. The team foundtheir rhythm in the second half,when the goal-scoring run started.
“We are very excited and over-whelmed, as it is a major historicachievement for our club,” says
Rovers manager Peter Groepies.“The support we received fromspectators helped us pull through.”
Groepies says the team’s strate-gy, successful so far, will remain inplay for the final.
Central, meanwhile, fought Ori-ental Gunners of Rygate LFA to atense penalty shoot-out at full time,and aimed their way to a 4-2 win af-ter the 3-3 tie.
Central manager AbrahanJantjies says the pressure was evi-dent on everyone’s face.
“I feel like it’s been a blessing forus, because we were 2-0 down butwe fought back and closed the game3-3.”
Asked to talk strategy, Jantjiessimply saysCentralwill continue totake its games on as a team.
“Talk is cheap. The game has tobe played, and we will take it on aswe did with previous games.”
Central had been trying to reachthe finals for two years before strik-ing it third time lucky. Rovers,meanwhile, sports Wasiem Poggen-poel, who has played in three Coca-Cola finals before.

World Cup watch – and yet more rulesLYNN PRINS
THE road to the quarterfinals for Eng-land nearly ended on Saturday, but ChrisAshton’s 78th-minute try left the Scotswith a disappointing 16-12 defeat.

On Saturday, a majorupset was seen when Tonga beat France19-14; Australia beat Russia 68-22, withNew Zealand destroying the Canadians79-15 and Ireland grabbing a 36-6 winfrom the Italians on Sunday.
SouthAfricanow facesAustralia in thequarterfinal on Sunday at 07:00 in Wel-lington.
Last week, People’s Post explained pen-alty kicks, free kicks and the 22m drop-
out. This week, People’s Post will focus onthe rugby mark and hand-offs.
Rugby markThis rule is used infrequently – when
isolated – to get out of trouble.If a playerabout to catch the ball, kicked ahead bythe opposition, is about to be tackled inhis team’s 22m or in-goal area he can call“MARK!” if he makes a clean catch. Playwill resume on the “marked” spot.
Hand-offsThe stiff-arm fend, known as a hand-
off, is a tactic employed by the ball-carri-er. By positioning the ball securely in onearm, the ball-carrier can fully extend hisother arm, palm-out, and shove his oppo-nents away at the chest or shoulder.
A stiff-arm fend may cause the tacklerto fall to the ground, taking him out ofplay.
• Next week People’ Post will focus onwhat happens after the mark is called,and on in-goals.

Softballers hit the pitch swingingLYNN PRINS
A WEEKEND training camp in CapeTown showed just how fearless the
under-19 softball women are.
The squad of 20 are definitely not afraid ofswinging a bat facing decent fast pitching, orthrowing a ball from the outfield to nail arunner; as the saying goes, “Dynamite comesin small packages.”
Getting ready for the upcoming JuniorWomen’s World Championship (JWWC), thegirls took on Falcons super league team ina warm-up match on Saturday, and playeddouble matches against Westridge Yankeeson Sunday, showing dynamic character to-ward both teams.
However, Lester Smith, coach of the SA un-der-19s, feels that there is still a lot of prepa-ration ahead.
“This weekend was our first match situa-tions, and I am not entirely satisfied with thegirls’ performances – there still needs to bea lot of hard work before we can actually beready to take on the world championship.”
The women train on Wednesdays and Sat-urdays, and hit the gym on Tuesdays at theSports Science Institute.
Leading up to the JWWC, People’s Postaims to profile a couple of players every weekto introduce them to the public.
• First up is Western Province player Kath-ryn van Boom (17).
This Grade 11 student at Bergvliet High
School plays as catcher for Tanta Sport.Her hobbies include reading and, of
course, playing sport; she enjoys the musicof The Arrows, James Morrison, and Alicia
Keys,withher favourite actor beingBenStill-er.
The burgeoning sportswoman – whose fa-vourite foods are lasagne and steak – has
some serious life goals: She wants to studyat UCT’s Health Science Faculty, and to con-tinue representing her country in softball.
Her motivational quote is, “Never be satis-fied with what you achieve, because it allpales in comparison with what you are capa-ble of doing in the future.”
• KwaZulu-Natal’s Julia Meaker, also aged17, plays for Ashleys and takes up outfieldand catcher positions.
Currently in Grade 11 at Durban Girls’High School, her hobbies include mountainbiking, touch rugby and hockey. She enjoysa variety of old and new music, and her fa-vourite actor is Ryan Reynolds.
Her power foods are pasta and pizza, andher life goal is “to be the best me I can be”.She’s driven by two motivational quotes:“The harder you fall, the higher you bounce,”and, “Adversity can either break you ormake you break records.”
