Cape Town is ‘drug capital of South Africa’HANRIE BOSCH
THE drug problem in the West-ern Cape is on the brink of be-coming a national crisis, accord-ing to Yusuf Abramjee, head ofthe anonymous tip-off centre,Crime Line.
Abramjee says the Western Capehas become known as the “drugcapital of South Africa” and the sit-uation has been reaching “alarm-ing proportions”.
Abramjee was speaking at CrimeLine’s fourth birthday celebrationat Mandela Rhodes Place in CapeTown on Thursday 21 July.
Crime Line came about fouryears ago as an independent CapeTalk and Primedia initiative, and isendorsed by the South African Po-lice Service.
Crime Line aims to empowercommunities and individuals tocombat crime by providing themwith an anonymous way of SMSingtheir detailed crime tip-offs aboutcrimes and suspicious activities intheir neigbourhoods.
Provincial police commissioner,Lieutenant General Arno Lamoer,said that since October last yearR7,9 billion’s worth of drugs havebeen confiscated in the WesternCape alone, thanks to anonymoustip-offs from community members.
“It is scary, as this is just the tipof the iceberg, and this is the firsttime that these figures are beingmade public.”
According to Tertius Cronje,from the South African NationalCouncil on Alcoholism and DrugDependence (SANCA), the WesternCape has seen a sharp increase indrug abuse amongst teenagers be-tween the ages of 14 to 17, as the fig-ures have gone up from 19% in 2005to 24% in 2011.
‘There is also an alarming reduc-tion in the age of first-time users. Itused to be 14 years, but now it hasdropped to nine years.”
“On a national level, the WesternCape compares very unfavourably,as we have a 31% admission rate torehabilitation facilities for tik,whilst the national average is just6%.”
Hanif Loonat, from the Commu-nity Policing Board, said that “70%of crime committed in the WesternCape comes from substance abuse”.
Abramjee also added that most ofthe tip-offs received via Crime Linewere drug-related.
“We have even had situationswhere parents have sent in tip-offsabout their own children using orselling drugs.”
Abramjee appealed to the com-munity to attack the “rampant drugproblem with vigour”.
“In our communities we all knowwho murders, steals, rapes and sellsdrugs, and it is up to us to stopthem.” Lamoer also added that po-lice were making progress, butmuch more work was needed. “Wehave to strengthen the partnershipbetween our communities and thepolice. We are busy losing our free-dom in this country. We are losingit to a minority group … criminals.”
Loonat also said that there wasnot enough participation from thecommunity on the levels availableto them, such as Crime Line, com-munity policing forums and neigh-bourhood watches.
As part of Crime Line and the
South African Police Service’s fightagainst drugs, more than 800kg ofdagga and hundreds of litres of con-fiscated alcohol to the value ofR125 000 were destroyed on Thurs-day 21 July outside Delft.
In the past four years since CrimeLine’s inception, more than 1 100arrests have been made and morethan R40 million’s worth of sei-zures have taken place.
Abramjee also agreed that de-spite Crime Line’s numerous suc-cesses, they still had a long way togo. “There are three key aspectsthat we need to look at: We need toencourage communities to blow thewhistle, we need to strengthen ourpartnerships between communitiesand police, and we need to put ourmoney where our mouth is.”
On the streets of Cape Town, how-ever, it seems as though Crime Linehas a long way to go, as most resi-dents are oblivious to existence.
According to one resident,Chwayita Metele, more people needto be made aware of Crime Line.
“They need more marketing andradio and TV ads in order for peopletoknowabout it. It doeshelppeople,but most people just shut up aboutcrime and do not even talk aboutit.” Michael Hayes works for a cash-in-transit company and feels thatthis sort of anonymous crime tip-offline is good thing, especially for hisindustry, which is often targeted bycriminals. “It is a good thing for us,and makes it safer if people send intip-offs.” SMS your anonymous tip-offs to 32211.

Rivers are ‘urban veins, not back yard drains’TERESA FISCHER
IT WAS that rare kind of public meet-ing – one that stuck to the topic and
inspired.
An idea conceived some time ago to forma civic group – the Friends of the Black andVygekraal Rivers – was hatched at the meet-ing, and the fledgling group has already tak-en its first steps.
The Friends of the Liesbeek, which hasover 20years turned the river into the clean-est river in South Africa, gave two presenta-tions about what was possible for the group.
The meeting, chaired by Jonathan Hob-day, took place on Tuesday 20 July at theRondebosch Golf Club.
This year is the centenary of the club,which decided to take the opportunity totake action to address the problems plagu-ing the rivers.
“Nobody could Isay I am exaggerat-ing when I say theserivers have been invery poor state forsome time,” said Hob-day.
The Friends will be registered as a“hatchling” group with the Wildlife and En-vironment Society of South Africa(WESSA) and will not function in isolation.
Cooperation and networks with othergroups, such as the Friends of the Liesbeek,is key to the success of the group.
In 2010 Kevin Winter from UCT, chairper-son of the Liesbeek Friends, paddled fromMuizenberg to the Milnerton Lighthouse inan effort to draw attention to the plight ofthe Peninsula’s waterways.
Winter says the Friends are “justifiablyproud” by what they have achieved throughlobbying and forging close relationshipswith City officials.
He provided the example of the pristinestate of the Liesbeek where it runs through
the arboretum in Bishopscourt and aroundthe Josephine Mill in Newlands.
Public walks and talks, and activitiessuch as birdwatching have made the rivermore accessible.
Sybrandt Park local, Sonya Pithey, whohas extensive experience working with riv-ers at a national and a local level, also ad-dressed the meeting.
She says rivers should be seen as urbanveins, not backyard drains.
TheBlackRivermeanders throughaverydifferent community to the Liesbeek, affect-ing most of the southern suburbs.
Sybrandt Park, Rosebank, Mowbray,Park Estate, Rondebosch East and Observa-tory are some of the suburbs impacted, butit rises in Arderne Gardens, so it also im-pacts Claremont and Kenilworth, as well asAthlone and Bokmakierie.
Local knowledge will be crucial to thegroup’s success.
She explains thegroup isnot abunchof“river huggers” whoget together once amonth to talk.
A vision for a bicy-cle pathway along the Black River fromAthlone/Nyanga to the City, was just oneidea of what could be possible.
Job creation opportunities are also abun-dant; for example, creating woven basketsfrom invasive alien hyacinth that has beenremoved from the river.
“Job creation and poverty alleviationgive life to idea of reciprocal partnerships,”is how someone present put it.
It was discussed how rivers have a mas-sive impact on the health of people who livearound them. The group’s draft constitu-tion was distributed for comment, and willbe adopted at the next meeting. Names fora steering committee were put forward anda date of a second meeting will be madesoon. For more information, email Jonath-an Hobday on [email protected].

First zebra foalin nine yearsA CAPE MOUNTAIN ZEBRA foal wasborn on Tuesday 19 July in the Capeof Good Hope section of the TableMountain National Park.
A foal was last born over nine yearsago and as a result, staff are monitoringthe newcomer very carefully.
The park is therefore appealing to thepublic and hikers not to try and ap-proach the mother and her foal on foot,but to keep a safe and respectful dis-tance. The family group is very protec-tive of the newcomer, and will act ag-gressively towards anyone trying to ap-proach them.
The mother and foal are close to theCape Point Main Road, and visitors andtour operators have been asked to re-spect the speed limit of 60km/h and slowdown if the family group of zebras areseen. The sex of the newcomer has notyet been determined.
However, staff are monitoring thefamily closely, and will allow the groupof zebras to settle down first before pho-
tographing them and recording key infor-mation.

Celebrating the first churchCAFE PESCADO, in St George’s Street, Si-
mon’s Town, recently hosted the 197thannual dinner/fundraiser to commemoratethe original site of the first Anglican Churchin South Africa.
One of the guests on Friday 8 July was the re-tired Archbishop of Cape Town, the Most Rever-end Njongonkulu Ndungane, the current rectorof the St Frances Anglican church of Simon’sTown, Father Nolan Tobias, and numerousmembers of the Simon’s Town Anglican congre-gation. Father Henry Frieslaar got proceedingsunder way, thanking guests and recapping dayswhen Cafe Pescado was fondly known as the Cri-terion Cinema in the late 1920s.
The evening was well attended, with guests en-joying a delicious buffet meal supplied by ClaireRyan and the friendly staff of Cafe Pescado.
The original deed to the St George’s Churchproperty was handed over to the Church of Eng-land in 1813. The premises were later converted,and became the site of the First Anglican churchin Southern Africa. The church was named theSt George’s Church by the then governor, SirJohn Cradock.
The first parishioners entered to worship un-der the guidance of Reverend George Hough, thefirst chaplain, on 24 April 1814.
The church then went through further chang-es. Heavy storms during 1819 and 1824 caused se-vere damages to the building, and the congrega-tion was temporarily housed in the Sail Loft inthe west dock yard.
In 1837 St Frances Church (next to the Residen-cy in Simon’s Town) came in to being, and todaystands as a national monument and the oldestAnglican church in Southern Africa).

Loavesand Fishes offers a shelter to the homeless, providing them with three warm meals per dayand the necessary counselling and encouragement to go back into society and successfullyrebuild their lives.

Celebrating asocial conscienceTHE only known method of
personal development is toraise one’s level of conscious-
ness.
When whole communities raisetheir level of consciousness a socialconscience develops. And it is thiswhich sustains social actions. TheMustadafin Foundation, which wasestablished during the apartheid erain 1986, can proudly call upon all itsbenefactors and beneficiaries to cele-brate its 25th anniversary. Whatshould not be forgotten is that in onlyeight years of the 25 years , the Mus-tadafin Foundation were under thenew regime which is called the post –apartheid Regime. Racism, oppres-sion, exploitation, hunger, starvation,malnutrition, homelessness, illitera-cy, innumeracy, alcohol, and drug ad-diction, corruption, HIV/Aids and ahost of other social diseases was whatthe Mustadafin Foundation was fight-ing for against since the launch of thepost-apartheid regime.
Some are of the opinion that the an-ti-apartheid struggle was sustained bynon-governmental organisations.
That is not entirely correct. The an-ti-apartheid struggle was sustained by
anti-government organisations.There were organisations that were
technically called NGOs but did noth-ing but implement, protect and ad-vance the racist agenda of the apart-heid regime.
Some still do. The Mustadafin Foun-dation can proudly call upon all itsbenefactors and beneficiaries to com-memorate the social sacrifices of thepast decades.
They are highly conscious of the factthat no human being is born into a so-cial, historical, political or economicvacuum.
A judge of the High Court said thatthey didn’t expect that there would bea need for organisations like the Mus-tadafin Foundation under the post-apartheid regime but now they realisethey were mistaken.
But, of course there is an enormousdifference between poverty manage-ment (and mismanagement), povertyalleviation and poverty eradication.As long as there is one human beingwho is poor, needy and destitute, therewill be a need for organisations likethe Mustadafin Foundation.
