Cars carryripe pickingsHANRIE BOSCH

THE latest crime statisticshave been released, and CBD

and Atlantic Seaboard residentswill have to pack up and lock upif the continuing problem oftheft out of cars is to be solved,police say.

“It all basically boils down to neg-ligence on the owner’s side,” saysConstable Ricardo Davids, spokes-person for Camps Bay Police Sta-tion. “Laptops, bags and cash areleft inplain sight. Theft out ofmotorvehicles is a priority crime for usat the moment; especially with thebusy summer season coming up, wemight see an increase, and peopleneed to take care.”

According to crime statistics forCamps Bay, the “opportunisticcrime” of theft out cars has in-creased from 193 to 234 reported cas-es between the current period(April 2010 to March 2011) and thelast. In the CBD, these incidentshave increased from 2 907 to 3 054.Sea Point saw the biggest increase,with the number of reported casesjumping from 772 to 1 000.

Sea Point’s station commander,Colonel Mkuseli Nkwitshi, at-tributes the increase in theft out ofcars – “a very easy crime that takesminutes” – to negligence and a lackof secure parking.

“We are educating people by dis-tributing pamphlets and sending

emails, especially to bed and break-fasts and hotels, to alert tourist tothe dangers of leaving their valua-bles unattended,” says Nkwitshi.

Heather Tager, chairperson forthe Sea Point Community PolicingForum (CPF), says it is tremendous-ly difficult to police this sort ofcrime on the Atlantic Seaboard as“the area is so densely populated,with not enough parking”.

“People are forced to park on thestreet – but nine times out of 10 peo-ple break into cars because thereare valuables lying around. Theywill not break in if nothing catchestheir eye.”

Henry Giddy, chairperson of theCape Town CPF, says this “battle”can only be won with public partici-pation.

“The key to resolving the matteris partnership – not only partner-ship between community policingforums, the police and neighbour-hood watches, but also with thepublic, to educate them not to leaveanything in their vehicles.”

Giddy says housebreaking is an-other problem facing the city centre– and he warns that housebreakingcan easily turn into more sinistercrimes: “Housebreaking becomeshouse robbery, and can just as easi-ly become murder.”

Crime statistics reiterate thescale of the issue, with housebreak-ings increasing from 671 to 714 re-ported cases, and house robberiesalmost doubling from 12 to 21 with-

in the CBD. In Sea Point, thenumber of reported housebreak-ings has gone up from 354 to 398,while house robberies decreasedfrom 20 to 15. In Camps Bay, house-breaking has declined from 209 to172 reported cases, but house rob-bery nearly doubled, from 6 to 10 re-ported cases.

Police officers and CPF membersurge residents to keep their homeslocked and ensure that all entrypoints are secured when they’re nothome – even if just for a few min-utes.

For an overview of the past finan-cial year’s crime statistics, visit the

SAPS website at www.saps.gov.za.• Johan Burger, a senior re-

searcher in the Crime and JusticeProgramme for the Institute for Se-curity Studies (ISS), says cross-ref-erencing the crime statistics withindependent business and industryreports and surveys corroboratesthe police’s indication of a signifi-cant drop in crime. “They are atleast a fair reflection,” he says, add-ing that he would peg the accuracyrate of the statistics at 80% or more.

But, he says, releasing the figuresonly once a year – and with a six-month delay, at that – is unaccepta-ble. “For example, If you take last

year’s World Cup, we had to waituntil Thursday before we knew theimpact this had on crime figures.”

The ISS, together with stakehold-ers like Business Against Crimeand Stats SA, has recently askedthat the figures be released at leasttwice a year. This recommendationhas been passed onto police minis-ter Nathi Mthethwa.

CROWD CLOUD: City club Assembly rocked out to the bluesy riffs of band Shadowclub on Saturday. Thegig settled into the kickoff of Cape Town Creative Week, a whirling tour of events celebrating the MotherCity’s finest innovative imaginings, from a capella concerts to daring displays of handmade jewellery.

JOIN me in a game of spot the scandal.

The basic facts, as exposed recently byCity Press, are that the government hasspent R46 million this year on bling Capemansions for cabinet ministers, their depu-ties and the Deputy Speaker of the House,former Cape Town mayor NomaindiaMfeketo.

The state paid R8 million for the DeputySpeaker’s house in the new suburb of VanRiebeeckshof in Bellville. The municipalvaluation of the property is R1,7 million, butproperty experts say it is worth R7 million.

Nowyoumay think the scandal lies inpay-ing R8 million to accommodate a formermayorbest remembered forthe problems she left be-hind rather than the onesshe solved. Others woulddamn the Department ofPublic Works for a piece ofshocking extravagance,but, given some of their re-cent police station deals, weshould not be surprised.No, the real inner core ofthe scandal, folks, is themunicipal valuation.

This is the description ofthe Tuscan Villa that isabout to be graced with MsMfeketo’s presence: Themansion has an air-condi-tioned bedroom, a designerkitchen with a stainlesssteel gas hob and plushdark wood finishes. There is an outdoor en-tertainment areawitha stainless steel braai,a swimmingpool and imposing steps leadingto a terraced garden, and, wait for it, six ga-rages.

And all this, according to City Council val-uers, is worth just R1,7 million. How couldthey get it so wrong?

Municipal valuations are required to re-flect the actual market price of property, andwe know what that is because the Depart-

ment of Public Works coughed up R8 millionfor the residence. This shocking under-valu-ation means that past and present ownershave been paying less than a quarter of therates they should have been paying whileyou and I have to pay the full whack.

It is grossly unfair. It contravenes the con-stitutional requirement for administrativejustice. I wish I could say that this was somekind of corrupt exception or an isolated caseof incompetence, but a professional valuerassures me that 30% of Cape Town proper-ties are undervalued. Estate agents say mu-nicipal valuations don’t mean a thing.

So 30% of homeowners are not payingtheir fair share of rates, and the rest of us

are paying too much. Theunderlying problem withthe present valuation sys-tem is that people complainwhen the valuation of theirhomes is too high, and themistakes are corrected.When a house is underval-ued, however, the ownershuts up and rejoices in alow rates account. When theCity boasts about the lownumber of objections to thevaluation roll, it is lookingat the tip of the iceberg. Thereal problem is the growingnumber of undervaluedproperties that attract nocomplaints and are there-fore never corrected. Whena property worth R7 million

or R8 million is valued at just R1,7 millionin the municipality’s books, then somethingis desperately wrong. The only possible ex-planation that comes to mind is that theCouncil doesn’t know the house is there, andthat the valuation is for the land only. Butsurely there were building plans and inspec-tions. The situation cries out for investiga-tion. The 70% of honest city ratepayers de-serve no less. Perhaps we can get the PublicProtector to take an interest.

A scandalous evaluation

Proudly South African wins goldPROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN

won numerous awards thisyear at the prestigious annualDecorex SA, which took place atGallagher Convention Centre inMidrand, Johannesburg.

The five day event ran fromFriday 5 to Tuesday 9 August,hosted over 700 high-end exhibi-tors and attracted some 53 000visitors, including internation-al buyers from America, Germa-ny, Indonesia and China.

Proudly South African invitedsome of its members to exhibitunder the category called SAHandmade Collection, which isa programme of the Departmentof Trade and Industry to pro-mote local crafters.

Dalene du Preez, Proudly South African’sexecutive manager for marketing and com-munications, says; “What was critical to ex-hibiting at the SA Handmade Collection eventthis year was Proudly South African’s crea-tive flair for promoting locally produced, highquality products that reflected South Africa’sculture, look and feel.”

“The impact of the stand itselftook our breath away. It lookedlike it had jumped out of the pag-es of a top international maga-zine. This certainly was validat-ed when Proudly South Africanwas awarded the gold medal.“Congratulations all around; wewere so proud. The stand alonelooked like a piece of artwork.”

Many Proudly SA memberssupported the event, whichwent a long way in showcasingthe impressive crafts they haveto offer to the local and interna-tional market.

Proudly South African mem-ber companies who exhibited atthe SA Handmade Collection atDecorex this year included:

Glass Escapes, a home glasswear and jewel-lery supplier; Lisa Martin, a supplier of alu-minium diaries and coasters; Aaron’s PinThread Sculpture, a pin thread jewellery andcorporate gift supplier;Andy C Design, a sup-plier of homeware, jewellery and corporategifts;Essay Gifts, a corporate gift, tea set andgift bag supplier;Essential Earth, a supplierof home furniture, and aluminium and ceram-ic tea sets; Asher House, a fabric-based suppli-er of albums, gift bags and greeting cards;TheCraft Connection, a supplier of trophies andAfrican jewellery; and Leather Legacy, a sup-plier of leather products such as ottomans,belts and shoes. Du Preez says: “ProudlySouth African created an impressive standthat caught the eye of the judges because ofits originality and hospitable flair. It encapsu-lated the art of ubuntu by creating an invitingfeel that was warm and engaging, allowing forprofessional business to take place.” The SAHandmade Collection event, launched in 2007,is an annual event that is part of Decorex SA,which has been running since 1994. It aims topromote locally produced products arts andcrafts to the local and international businessmarket.

Third time unluckyHAVING FAILED two driving tests al-ready, a Muizenberg man thought hecould take a shortcut and just buy hisdriver’s licence – but his attempt atbribery bought him a criminal investi-gation instead.

Traffic officers arrested the man at thebeginning of the month, after his thirdabortive driving test at the Ottery DrivingLicence Testing Centre.

When the interior inspection of the carhad started, the man tried to palm a R1 000“gift” to his examiner, who turned himdown. Not to be dissuaded, the man trieda few more times before getting on with

the test.He failed again before even getting out

of the testing yard. Heedless, the flunkeddriver left his bribe on the dashboard, andthis time the examiner did pick it up – forit was now evidence – then escorted theman to the traffic officers stationed at thecentre.

A 47-year-old man from Muizenberg hasbeen arrested in connection with thecrime, and is now being investigated bythe police.

The suspect has appeared in the Wyn-berg Magistrate’s Court, but this papercould not establish the state of his case atthe time of going to print.

THE origin of the superstitionthat breaking a mirror causes sev-en years of bad luck can be tracedback to the Romans, who were thefirst to create glass mirrors. TheRomans, along with the Greek,Chinese, African and Indian cul-

tures, believed that a mirror hadthe power to capture part of a per-son’s soul. If the a person’s reflect-ed image became distorted in anyway, it was thought that the per-son would be corrupted.–www.wisegeek.com

An age of miraclesANDRE BAKKES

ON the 27th day of the holy month ofRamadan, eight people gathered

around a rustic stable in Philippi to wit-ness the rarest of sights – the birth ofhealthy twin foals.

First, the world was a brown filly richer,and then witnesses were left speechless whena white palomino colt followed suit.

The general consensus online is that, whenit comes to horses, 1 in 10 000 pregnancies aretwins – and only nine percent of those are car-ried to term.

An even smaller number are actually bornhealthy, so the fact that this “next genera-tion” is now frolicking in the fields of Zandv-lei Farm fills owner Moosa Ockards withpride. “It was a bright, starry evening, andwhen the foals were born we were also glow-ing,” he smiles.

Ockards had been attending a religiousevent that night, but he was constantly on hiscellphone, giving advice to those who weredelivering the young horses.

Nobody had suspected that the mare, Popp-lin, had been carrying twins, so when Ock-ards heard there was another little miracleon the stable floor, he was very excited.

But his vast equine experience told himthat this latest development would need allthe accumulated knowledge he has garneredover the decades, since a twin pregnancy isconsidered to be very dangerous for the mareand her offspring.

According to horseadvice.com’s RobertOglesby, a twin pregnancy in horses is gener-ally bad news.

“The uterus has a hard time supportingtwins,” says Oglesby. “Foals are often borndead or weak, and other complications in-

clude retained placenta, delayed recovery ofthe uterus, decreased rate of settling for thenext two years, and potentially permanentdamage to the mare’s reproductive tract.”

In most cases of live births, either one orboth foals don’t survive beyond two weeks.

People’s Post visited the farm last Thurs-day, and saw that each of the adorable foalswas, well, as healthy as a horse. They wereexploring the tiny stable and liaising withtheir vigilant mom on a regular basis.

On one occasion the brown filly chewed onthis journalist’s camera strap, which drew anauthoritative and abrupt neighing from theever-vigilant Popplin.

On whether the presently unnamed twinsand their mother will suffer any delayedhealth problems, Ockards just says, “We willhave to see what God has in store for them.”

Ockards owns several of the 23 horses onthe farm, and most of these are used as cart-horses.

Ockards learned everything he knowsabout the animals from his father, and hesays the last time he heard of twins beingborn was in the late 1970s.

Diana Truter and all the other staff of theCarthorse Protection Agency (CHPA) werejust as amazed at Popplin’s feat.

“I’ve been working with horses almost myentire life, and this is the first time that I haveseen twins born healthy,” says a glowingTruter.

The most difficult and dangerous time forthe mare and foals has passed, but latenthealth issues might still put a damper on cele-brations.

Be that as it may, Truter is confident thatOckards’ vast experience and “family se-crets” will see them through. He laughs whenasked to reveal some of these secrets.

“Well, one of the reasons some foals die dur-

ing birth is because their tongues are stillstuck to the inside of the mouth. That’s whenone can put a little milk on one’s finger andfeed the youngsters.”

The first few sips of mother’s milk are themost important in a foal’s life, since it con-tains a concentrated amount of nutrients, an-tibodies and immune system boosters.

“I think the fact that this happened in Ram-adan is a blessing for Moosa,” Truter says,“and I think he deserves that blessing, sincehe has helped so many other people in his life.

“In fact, if all the carthorse owners were asdiligent as Moosa, the role of the CHPA wouldbe severely diminished.”

The CHPA is based in northern suburbs ofEpping, but it keeps an eye over most of thecarthorses in the Southern Peninsula as well.

Ockards will soon give names to the littlemiracles, and then the CHPA will set up a Fa-cebook page to keep the public up to date withhow these statistical oddities are enrichingthe lives of those who have helped them tothrive in a fascinating world.

The glory days of District SixCAPETONIANS will get a taste ofmusical history when the Dis-trict Six Heritage Day Concertswings into the Good Hope Cen-tre at 19:30 on Saturday 24 Sep-tember.

Jayson King, the mind behind theconcert, grew up in District Six.Having been schooled at TrafalgarHigh, King started promotions atthe age of 14.

He first promoted wrestling at theage of 15 and presented his first in-ternational show with British popQueen Helen Shapiro, whom hebrought out to South Africa.

Along the way, and hundreds ofsingers, dancers and entertainerslater, he also performed at the StarBioscope in Hanover Street, whichwas nicknamed Cape Town’s Carn-egie Hall.

Regular backing group The BigBeats, which played in the exactstyle of the Shadows, backed justabout every singer way back then.The lead guitar player of thatband, Ivor Wagner, who was bornblind, later moved to the UK, wherehe became a judge in the justice sys-tem. King remembers as clear asdaylight some of the names that hepresented on stage at the variousvenues of District Six, some ofwhom will be back on stage againat the concert.

He says Terry Smith, Zelda Ben-jamin, Carol-Leigh, Blackkurrantand Richard Ceasar, Young IdeasMalay Choir and Deja Vu were luminaries,and legends in their own lifetimes. This pro-duction will be backed by The RichardCeasar Band and several audio visualscreens.

King says it will be an evening to celebrateand remember the artists who endured thehardships of apartheid while trying to earna living as entertainers.

“It is my intention to pay homage and rec-ognise the efforts of some of South Africa’sbest entertainers, whom are only paid trib-ute to once they have passed on.

“This production is designed to remindthe people of Cape Town of an area once andstill loved by thousands who were so brutal-ly and forcibly removed from the city centreby the old government.”

HOT STUFF: Seen here is Jayson King, the man behindthe District Six Heritage Day Concert which will takeplace on Saturday 24 September.

A challenge befitting the youngSTUDENTS from Athlone, GrassyPark, Masiphumelele, Mitchell’sPlain and Ocean View will join 3 000school children from across the West-ern Cape to participate in the sixthannual Kellogg’s Health of the Nation

50-Hour Sports Challenge.

During the Sports Challenge, said to bethe largest event of its kind in the coun-try, participants are exposed to a hugevariety of sports, including cricket, ten-nis, hockey, soccer and basketball – andbehind the fun and games this year willbe a follow-up on a 10-year-old healthstudy that revealed the incidence of obes-ity in South African children.

The 2011 study will assess the fitnessand health of a large sample of childrenbetween the ages of 9 and 13.

“Every child who participates in thisyear’s challenge will first complete a fit-ness test,” says Brad Bing of SportingChance, one of the event’s main organis-ers. “Testing personnel will measureheight, weight, waist and hip circumfer-ence, which will provide crucial statis-tics on the prevalence of obesity andbody weight distribution.

“Then, children will engage in a seriesof exercises designed to assess flexibili-ty, abdominal muscle strength, lowerand upper body strength, and agility.”

Besides giving children the chance toplaynewandunfamiliar sportsunder ex-perienced coaches, the challenge pro-

vides an opportunity to spot new talent,Bing says, pointing out that a number ofaccomplished athletes have benefitedthrough Sporting Chance coaching pro-grammesandevents, suchasEngland in-ternational cricketer Craig Kieswetter,Lions captain Thami Tsolekile andformer rugby Springbok Neil de Kock.

“Over the past five years the challengehas grown exponentially,” says KelloggsSA spokesperson Sarah Mansfield.

“In addition to teaching and showinglearners how to be physically active onthe field, it’s also important to empowerSouth African children to make healthylifestyle choices off the field.

“In this light, in the weeks leading upto the challenge, Sporting Chance willhost pre-challenge road shows in select-ed communities.

“The sessions address specific socialconcerns within communities, includ-ing: how to leadanactive life andpreventobesity; principles of personal hygiene;and nutritional guidance.”

Schools or individuals wishing to par-ticipate in the challenge and researchproject can contact Natalie at SportingChance on (021) 683-7299 or visitwww.sportingchance.co.za.

A step aheadA step aheadMARK WARD

MARTHA Pretorius missed out onwinning the gold at the 51st annual

Karoo Ultra-marathon over 80 kilometresin Laingsburg at the weekend.

But it’s not the end of the road in this racefor the 41-year-old Rylands resident, whosepenchant for long-distance running has madeher a household name on the endurance cir-cuit.

The two-time winner of the grueling Karooevent finished in second place on Saturday,behind Linah Mhlongo of Witbank in Mpu-malanga.This is the third successiveyear shehas finished runner-up to Mhlongo.

Although her time of 7:33:38 was well shortof Mhlongo’s winning time, she has vowed tobe back at next year’s event in the peacefulplatteland town.

The Top-Form athletics club runner wonthe race in 2006 and 2007.

“I enjoyed the race,” Pretorius said. “Itwas, as usual, a difficult course to navigate,but I am used to this course now. Next yearI will be back to complete my 10th race, andmaybe – who knows – win the gold again.”

After making it through their 10th race,athletes qualify for a permanent number.

Pretorius, a nurse at the Sarah Fox Homein Athlone, has also excelled in other endur-ance races.

Her achievements include having won the160km Washie Race between Port Alfred andEast London for three consecutive years, andthe Hewat 100-miler along the Atlantic Sea-board on five occasions.

Bellville was awarded for having the bestteam, the most participants, and the teamwith the best spirit.

STRENUOUS: Martha Pretorius in action during the Karoo UltraMarathon.

FUN TIMES: Zaida Boltman and John van der Byl of Mitchell’s Plain Titans Athletic Club competed in the half marathon in Laingsburg.

BIG RUN: Trevor Jacobs from Strandfonteinholds up his medal after running his third race.
