Last week a Wynberg man (25) was arrest- ed after being caught with a wheelie bin con- sisting of steel brackets stolen from the Blue Bells club house. Andrew Julius, William Herbert facility manager and chairperson of the Wynberg East community police sub-forum, says shortly after 09:00 on Tuesday 7 January a staff member noticed a man jumping over one of the walls and leaving the premises. “The gates were locked and we conducted an inspection to see what he was doing. We saw a man wearing blue jeans with white spots run to one of the walls and jump over,” he says. Julius explains he found a yellow bag filled with steel brackets on the field. The bag was covered with a piece of wood. “I jumped in my car and decided to see if I could find the man. I spotted him in Sussex Road and called the police sector van,” Ju- lius says. He and police cornered the man, who had in his possession a stolen wheelie bin which contained several steel brackets. Julius and the police returned to the sports ground where they found the club house had been ransacked and the iron bars twisted and the windows broken. “We found the same steel brackets which were found in the wheelie bin inside the club house. “The man was arrested and we were asked to make statements,” he explains. Julius says the wheelie bin had the own- er’s address painted on it and he says it was returned to the owner. “The resident was unaware that his bin had been stolen. We ask residents to clearly mark their bins to avoid theft. If it is stolen police can quickly identify whether or not the person pushing it actually owns it,” Ju- lius says. Maritha Williams, chairperson of the Wil- liam Herbert Municipal Facility Manage- ment Committee, says the sports ground has been targeted by thieves for several years. She is glad the man was caught, but says break-ins at the club houses are an ongoing concern. “Even during matches we find the club houses are being broken into,” she says.. “ They steal everything from bags to kitch- en equipment and stationery.” Williams explains while the sports ground has armed response, they do not have the funds to have full-time security staff. Wynberg police spokesperson Captain An- dre Wolhuter confirms the arrest. He says following a brief appearance in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court the man was remanded in custody. Julius says break-ins in the area are di- rectly linked to the increase in drug use. He appeals to residents to be proactive and join street committees and neighbourhood watches to keep the community safe. “During a patrol last week we noticed there were only six patrollers looking after the entire area bordered by Castletown, Wet- ton, Rosmead and South roads,” he says.

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMS: MATRICS PREPARE FOR ROUND TWO

Chance to re-write your futureLAILA MAJIET

@laila_newsie

Pupils who did not meet the require-ments to obtain their Matric certifi-cate are bracing themselves for round

two.Supplementary exams are set to begin in

February and continue until March.The closing date for applications is Fri-

day 24 January.Candidates who have failed a maximum

of two subjects qualify to re-write.Those who passed only three subjects

may apply to write the 2014 National SeniorCertificate (NSC) exams.

Provincial education minister DonaldGrant says pupils whoweremedically unfitto sit for oneormore exammayalso registerfor the supplementary exams. They must,however, provide a medical certificate.

Candidateswho provide documentary ev-idence showing that he or she qualifies foradmission to a university or for an occupa-tion, but does not satisfy the university’s re-quirements or the requirements for the spe-cific occupation can also register to re-writea maximum of two subjects.

Class actThe provincial matric class of 2013 has

plenty to celebrate. Despite dropping tofourth place overall, the provincial educa-tion department says teachers and pupilscan be proud as there have been improve-ments in all areas, Grant says.

Increasing the number of candidateswriting and passing the NSC exams is oneof the strategic priorities within the depart-ment, as it reflects the retention rate of pu-pils.

It is essential that the drop-out rate is re-duced and pupils have the opportunity towrite and ultimately pass their matric ex-ams, Grant says. “In 2013, we had a recordnumber of 40 558 candidates passing theNSC exams with a provincial pass rate of85.1%.Weareverypleased thatwe exceededour stretch target of 40 000 passes and thatthe pass rate increased while the number ofcandidates grew so significantly.”

The total of 40 558 is the highest numberof passes yet achieved in the province sincethe inception of the NSC exams.

Ban printing matric resultsAnd while successful candidates were

thrilled to finally see their names in print,the Congress of SouthAfrican Students (Co-sas) is demanding newspapers no longerpublish matric results.

Western Cape convenor SiphakamiseNgxowa says the congress plans to launch

a campaign toburnnewspaperswhichprintthe names of pupils who have passed mat-ric.

Cosas believes printing the results is a vi-olation of candidates’ privacy.

“Printing matric results is of no benefitto pupils. The only ones who have some-thing to gain from this practice are thenewspapers who are cashing in on publish-ing these results,” Ngxowa says.

Muhammad Khalid Sayed, provincialconvenor of the ANC Youth League, agrees.

“To some it may be gratifying to see theirname in the newspaper, but to many it isembarrassing because too much undue in-formation ismade public, like access to uni-versity and not getting a distinction whenhigh expectations were created,” he says.

Cosas has engaged withMinister of BasicEducation Angie Motshekga about theirconcerns.

Sayed says theANCYL supports demandsby Cosas to Motshekga to desist from pub-lishing the names of those who have passedmatric. “This key milestone in life shouldrather be acknowledged by the school, fami-

ly and the person involved without havingto go to agents or third parties,” he adds.

Future plansThe class of 2013 say while they are glad

their exams are a thing of the past, the un-certainty of their future is frightening.

Having obtained a Bachelor’s Pass, Kev-onne Lees (18) says she plans on studyingGraphic Design, but is not yet certain ofwhere shewill study. “I amweighing upmyoptions. It has been a bit stressful havingto make a decision, but it is also exciting asI am about to begin a new journey,” shesays.

AmyMekeur (18) was elated on receivingher results. She is expected to studyB.Comm General at the University of theWestern Cape. “I am excited and scared asI do not knowwhat to expect in terms of theworkload. But I am also happy and relievedthat I was accepted.”V Call the Exams Helpline on (021) 467 2300 onweekdays between 08:00 and 18:00 for all exam-re-lated issues.

R200M: HOUSING PROJECT

Room to growMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique duval

A third housing project for ImizamoYethu has been given the green light.The City of Cape Town has an-

nounced a grand plan for the implementa-tion of several housing projects in CapeTown.Mayoral Committee member for Human

Settlements Tandeka Gqada says the thirdphase of the Imizamo Yethu HousingProject will cost R200m and will see 883community residence units and 49 Gaphouses being built.According to a statement, the City has

put up R105m for the project.This excludes funds from the National

Treasury’s Urban Settlements Develop-ment Grant (USDG) and the Human Settle-ments Development Grant.“The total cost of the community residen-

tial units is estimated to be about R200m.However, it is difficult to estimate the costof the civil engineering services at thispoint in time,” she says.During phase one 550 houses were built

and the City is currently completing phasetwo. Gqada says 68 of the 143 houses inphase two have been completed.Clifford Nogwavu, chairperson of the

South African National Civic Organisation

(Sanco) in Imizamo Yethu, says residentshave welcomed the news.He says concerns have been raised over

the City’s housing list in the allocation ofhouses in phase two.“We are happy, but we believe the City

needs to look at the housing list and howhouses are allocated,” he says.Nogwavu explains residents are becom-

ing desperate and the injection of 883 hous-es will go a long way in housing residents.“Many remain in need of proper shelter

and this is exactly what the community ofImizamo Yethu needs,” he says.Gqada says the aim is to commence with

construction in the 2014/2015 financialyear.She explains houses with a list of poten-

tial beneficiaries will be drawn up from theCity’s housing database in Imizamo Yethu.“Every effortwill bemade tomove people

from the pipe track within the Dontse Ya-khe informal settlement into spaces whichwill be vacated by the beneficiaries in Imi-zamo Yethu who will be moving.Ward councillor Marga Haywood says

she is unaware of plans to move residentsfrom Dontse Yahke to Imizamo Yethu.“I have not been informed and I will have

to take a look at these plans as I amnot surehow suitable the land in ImizamoYethu is,”she says. SUPER SUPPORTER: Cape Town soccer fans, such as Saddam Maake (pictured), flocked to

Cape Town Stadium for the opening match of the 2014 African Nations Championship(CHAN) between Bafana Bafana and Mozambique on Saturday.

Prank calls cause frustrationThe 107 emergency hotline received 27 536calls in the first twoweeks of December andover 30% of themwere prank calls, authori-ties confirm.Pranksters are holding up emergency

calls and could potentially rob someonewith a real emergency from receiving as-sistance timeously.So says Mayoral Committee member for

Safety and Security JP Smith.The 107 line is a single emergency

number for use by all people living in andvisiting Cape Town.Call centre agents are trained to connect

callers to the nearest relevant emergencyservice provider, such as the ambulance,fire, police or traffic service.Statistics show an increase of nearly 8000

calls in December 2012, compared to the

month before and after.Medical emergencies accounted for 23%

of the 57 406 calls fielded in December 2012while prank calls accounted for 36%.The number of prank calls increases dur-

ing the school holidays, as children callfrom telephones at home and even publictelephones knowing that it is a free call,Smith says.“Prank calls are nothing new. We also

know that prank calls are not the work ofchildren only, so I’d like to appeal to fami-lies and communities to help us by discour-aging this kind of behaviour. Ultimately, itcould save a life or lives.”The 107 call centre has been operating for

over 10 years and has a staff complementof 66, including seniors and supervisors foreach shift.

Power to peoplePowering up has become easier this year,as council appoints newprepaid electricityservice providers.

Residentswill nowbe able to buyprepaidelectricity from their cellphones and on-line, as well as from their usual vendors.

A new cellphone vendor has been ap-pointed by council, which will allow con-sumers to now make mobile purchases viaSMS after registering on www.itronener-gy.co.za. Consumers will still be able tomakemobile electricity purchases via EFTfrom www.prepaid24.co.za. Consumerscan register on www.mobilepower.co.zawhere all credit cards and Standard Bank,Nedbank and Absa debit cards are accept-ed.

Capetonians can also log ontowww.ibuy.co.za to order electricity via theinternet with their Mastercard or Visacredit card.

Those who prefer not to use technologycan use a new service provider which willsee scratch cards being made available atall petrol station forecourts.

Point of service outlets will remain as is,with the existing service providers re-ap-pointed.

The new contracts were awarded afterthe previous ones expired, says MayoralCommitteemember forUtility Services Er-nest Sonnenberg. The extra service provid-er was appointed to increase efficiency.

“Should one provider experience techni-cal issues, the consumer will have anotheroption. Consumers will continue to be ableto instantly purchase electricity from thecomfort of their own home.”

There is no cost to the customer in theform of credit fees, he says.

“The only cost the customer carries,whenpurchasing via their cellphone, is theSMS fee their cellphone service providercharges,” Sonnenberg says.

Cape Town resident Lesley Marshal hasbeen using cellphone banking to buy herprepaid electricity and is pleased more op-tions have been made available.

“It’s convenient and fast, and I don’t haveto go to the shop.My family has started tak-ing advantage of it and now always ask meto buy electricity for them,” she says.

X marksthe spotWith the national elections due this

year,many SouthAfricanswill havetheir first opportunity to cast their

vote, while some will be returning to thepolls for their second, third, fourth or fifthnational election.

This year’s elections coincide with the20th anniversary of democracy. People’sPost readers share their views on the pend-ing elections.

APILE DONI will definitely be voting in the elec-tions, as he is tired of corruption. He believes theparty he votes for will be focused on the needsof the country. “It is important to vote becauseof the possibility of change,”

GUY FOSTER is in two minds about making hismark. If he does vote, he says his decision wouldbe based on past experience. “Our country is fastgoing on a downward spiral,” he says.

BRENDAN ARENDSE will not be voting as he be-lieves political parties and politicians are not pro-viding for poor communities. “They want us tovote, but after the elections they are nowhere tobe seen,” he says.

JUNIQUE WELKOM is a registered voter and is ex-cited about casting her first vote in the comingelections. “I do not know much about politics, butI am sure my vote will count and make a differ-ence,” she says.

KABELO EISTEI says voting gives people the free-dom to be part of the country’s future. “I’m notfussy about the change to come because we havecome a long way since 1994,” he says.

STEVEN COETZEE says voting gives people theright to decide who would best lead the country.“I will cast my vote for change, for a better future– not only for myself, but for everyone. Those whodon’t vote should not complain,” he says.

TAREN ANDREWS will only vote once she knowswhat political parties have planned for the fu-ture of youths. “I am excited to cast my votefor the very first time,” she says.

According to a statement by Daff, 1 566 ap-plications for line fishing permit renewalswere received nationally, with 215 renew-als having been granted.

Local fisherman Charles America sayshis application was not granted.

He does not know the reasons for the de-nial.

America says many local fishermen aredesperate as they were not able to earn anincome for two weeks.

On Tuesday 7 January, Daff announcedan interim solution where fishermen whowere not granted the renewals and whohave appealed the department’s decision,

may apply for an exemption to fish pendingthe outcome of their appeal.

America says while fishermen were gladfor the exemptions, many of them “didn’tknow where to start”.

“We don’t even know why our permitswere not renewed and we were not formallyinformed by Daff. How can we apply for ex-emptions if we don’t even know why our ap-plications were rejected in the first place?”he asked.

According to Daff, fishermen in the West-ern Cape need to prove they have fished for300 days between 2007 and 2012 to qualifyfor an exemption.

“Daff and fishing associations haveagreed consultations must continuethroughout the appeals process to ensurethe best outcome. The department will sendindividual letters to applicants, containingthe reasons for the decisions and the scoressheets pertaining to their applications bythe end of (this) week,” the statement says.

To date, America says many fishermenhave still not received any communication.“We are sitting and waiting, many of us arewithout any income. Our children and fam-ilies are suffering,” he says.

MATRICS: ELATED WITH RESULTS

Local schools achieve top marksMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The hallways at schools across the valleybuzzed with excitement last week asmatriculants lined up to get their re-

sults.In her speech last week Minister of Basic

Education Angie Motshekga said Western

Cape matriculants ranked fourth in thecountry with a pass rate of 85.1%.Pupils at the Cape Academy for Mathe-

matics, Science and Technology in Constan-tia were excited to receive their results.Speaking during a special assembly at the

school last week, principal Gregory vanSchalkwyk says he is proud of the class of2013’s performance.

The school obtained a98.6% pass rate, in-creasing from 89.7% in2012.This was the biggest

class in the history ofthe school with 144Grade 12 pupils.The school achieved

91 Bachelor passes, 38diplomas and 12 certifi-cates.Collectively the pu-

pils gathered 103 sub-ject distinctions.The top scorer was

Shane Josias, who re-ceived eight distinc-tions and an average of87.5% across all sub-jects.Several schools in the

valley achieved a 100%pass rate, includingConstantia WaldorfSchool, South Peninsu-la High School and Wynberg Girls’ HighSchool.Brian Isaacs, principal of South Peninsula

High School, says in addition to a 100% passrate the school also received 169 Bachelorpasses.“This is the highest ever in the history of

the school, which was established in 1950.We attribute our success to the hard workof pupils, teachers and the support of par-ents,” he says.Isaacs explains targets were set in the be-

ginning of the year andwere regularlymoni-tored and revisited.The aim of the school is to again achieve

a 100% bachelor rate in this year’s examina-tions. Isaacs believes this is attainable.Eight pupils of the 2013 matric class

achieved A passes, 34 achieved B passes and83 achieved C passes.Top pupil was Aqeelah Adams obtained

six distinctions, including A’s inMathemat-ics, Physical Science, Life Science and Ac-counting.Aqeelahwill be studyingdentistryat the University of the Western Cape.The school achieved 163 subject distinc-

tions and the average aggregate per pupilwas 63.1%.

Despite commuter strikes and bad weath-er Wynberg High School managed to in-crease their pass rate by 16.9%.Principal Mogamat Faiq Salie says the

transport industry strikeswere an issue lastyear, as many of the pupils commute to theschool from other areas.He says after being labelled as an under-

performing school by the provincial educa-tion department, teachers and pupilsworked hard to achieve good results.“We are very proud of our pupils and

teachers. During the year we worked hardwith parents, to help them understand theirsupport was needed,” he says.Salie adds creating a nurturing environ-

ment for pupils didn’t come easy, as manyof them faced socio-economic problems. “Weworked and excelled. Teachers who volun-teered their time to assist pupils on week-ends made a big difference,” he says.According toMotshekga the national pass

rate for 2013 is 78.2%, which is a 4.3% in-crease on the 2012 results.Free State achieved the top spot and

achievedapass rate of 87.4%, followedby theNorth West (87.2%) and Gauteng (87%).V For more information visit www.education.gov.za.

HIKERS IN PERIL: ‘NO WATER, FOOD’

Trio airliftedto safetyThree stranded hikers on the Kar-

bonkelberghiking trailwere airlift-ed to safety last week.

According to a report by the NationalSeaRescue Institute (NSRI) onThursday9 January, rescue teams with the assist-ance of provincial government HealthEmergency Medical Services werecalled to the rescue operation.NSRI Hout Bay station commanderLyall Pringle says Kobus Brits (36), Cor-nelia Janse van Rensburg (38) andMorne Brits (33) from Gauteng em-barked on a hike at 13:00.“They did not have water, food (or)warm clothing, and may have thought itwas a gentle walk,” he says.“But it appears they had not investi-gated the seriousness of this hike priorto departing.”

The hikers told the rescue teamswhenthey reached the first gully, during theincoming tide, they moved through itsuccessfully.“But with the high tide on reachingthe second gully, they could not proceedor retreat and opted to walk up themountain until they could go no further.Thye then raised the alarm that theywere in difficulty,” Pringle says.The Skymed helicopter hoisted a res-cue paramedic down to the hikers andthen hoisted them to safety.“Family members met the three hik-ers at our sea rescue station and they re-quired no further assistance,” he says.“We urge coastal hikers to investigatetheir route and requirements thorough-ly before embarking on coastal hikingtrails.”

Milano aim to recapture winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United will hope to return to thesummit of the National First Divisionthis weekend but a win may not be

enough.The Grassy Park side dropped points in a

2-2 draw against local rivals FC Cape Townover the weekend and were overtaken byChippa United as a result.

Now Milano will be rooting for FC CapeTown to pull off another upset in their fix-ture against Chippa on Saturday.

Milano were expected to brush past FCCape Town, who were languishing near thebottom of the table at the time.

Things seemed to be going to plan for theBlack and Yellow, who opened the scoringin the third minute. Brandon “Junior”Theron headed home from a well worked at-tack down the left by Ganief Stellenboom.The visitors soon replied through SiphiweGwala, with the striker giving Milano goal-keeper Tashrique Goldman no chance andcalmly tucking the ball into the right corner.

Things got worse for Milano in the 25thminute when top scorer Lesvin Stoffels re-ceived a straight red card for a challenge onJarrod Moroole. Despite being down to 10men, Milano took the lead for a second timewhen Chad Robertson forced the ball overthe line.

The home side’s hopes of a memorable winwere undone when super-sub Mpho Eras-mus headed home late in the game.

Milano United managed to maintain theirunbeaten home record for the season, butdropped down to second place on the table.

FC Cape Town’s Zaphaniah “Zeff” Mboko-ma and Gwala both came close to stealingall three points in the dying minutes of theencounter, but Goldman kept his team aliveto ensure a share of the spoils.

Milano will hope to return to winningways when they face Jomo Cosmos in Johan-nesburg on Saturday.

Academy to polish rough diamondsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town’s rugby talent pool is expect-ed to deepen following the establish-ment of new academy in Tokai.

The Western Province Rugby Academyopened it’s doors last Sunday with the aimof developing rough talents into polishedprofessionals.A group of 48 promising playerswill spend

the next year engaged in the academy’s rig-orous and thorough high-performance pro-gramme.While they will represent the academy in

matches against junior provincial teamsand other similar high-performance cen-tres, managing director Keith Milner saysthe players will also represent local clubs.“We are filtering players back into the sys-

tem, so when they are not playing for theacademy team they will play for clubs,” hesays. “We have already been in touch withthe clubs; we told them it is down to themto pitch to the squad and the academy. Weare not going to force players to play for anyparticular club, but we have stipulated thatwe are only considering Super League Aclubs.”Milner says he expects the inclusion of the

players in local clubs to increase the stand-ard of club rugby.The academy forms part of the Western

Province Rugby Union structures and willwork closely with the Western ProvinceRugby Institute in Stellenbosch.The Institute was founded in 2007 and has

produced several excellent players.Springboks Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi

and Juan de Jongh are all former graduates,as are Stormers Scarra Ntubeni, Frans Mal-herbe, Nizaam Carr, Louis Schreuder andCheslin Kolbe.The academy was founded with hopes of

replicating this success.

But while the institute caters for only un-der-19 playerswho spend just one year in theprogramme before either being profession-ally contracted or released, the academy ac-cepts players between the ages of 18 and 21.“You may get a player who gets injured

while at the institute, sometimes early onhis stint there, and that ruins his under-19year,” Milner says.“That player may have had the potential

to step up to the professional ranks.We needto make sure he can stay in the system and

in a high performance programme.”Milner adds the academywill also provide

opportunities to “hidden gems” playing out-side the top levels of school rugby.While the Institute’s 2014 intake included

players almost exclusively from rugbystrongholds like Paarl Gymnasium, PaarlBoys’ High and Boland Agricultural Schoolor southern suburbs powerhouses such asWynberg Boys’ High and Rondebosch Boys’High, the Academy has also seen playersfrom Steenberg, Fish Hoek, Camps Bay andSimon’s Town high schools selected.“Wewant to ensure that we (involve) play-

ers who ordinarily would not be on the stagewhere they would get recognised,” he says.“We know there is a hidden gem sitting in

most schools. We have gone out and foundplayers who have the talent, but need to begiven the opportunity. The institute doesn’thave the time to put the feelers out into theschools.”Both the academy and institute players

will follow the same programme and willtrain together at least once a week.Academy members will also receive life

skills training from psychologists and busi-ness experts. Players who are not studyingwill also be enrolled in sports related terti-ary programmes.Any players interested in joining the

Academy can find out more information bycalling (021) 712 1559.
