Constantia:Dutch pairattackedJUANITA WILLIAMS

THREE men, armed with pangas andknives, raided a Constantia house.

The men assaulted two Dutch tourists – intheir 70s – during the incident in RidgeWalk,off Klaasens Road, at 21:45 on Wednesday 30January.

They stole valuables from the rentedhouse,report BKM (Bergvliet, Kreupelbosch andMeadowridge) Watch.

The husband and wife were woken up bythe sound of a door being pushed open.

When the man went to check, he was con-fronted by three armed robberswearing bala-clavas and gloves.

The assailants demanded cash and jewel-lery.

Warrant Officer SilvinoDavids, spokesper-son ofWynberg Police, reports that one of therobbers tried to force the woman’s rings offher hand.

“The rings were difficult to remove,” saysDavids.

“And after the robber had removed onering, he poured lukewarm water over herhand to try and remove the others.During thestruggle he twisted and badly bruised herwrist and also grazed her lip with a panga.”

The BKM report says: “She screamed inpain and had to have medical treatment.”

Once the robbershad loadedupwith i-Pads,i-Phones, cash and jewellery, they locked thefrightened couple inside the bathroom with-out any light, and left the premises.

They also took TVs, cameras and other val-uable items from the house.

Fearing that theywouldneverbe found, thehusband waited until the robbers had left theproperty, then he started pounding on the

door.The domestic in the house next door heard

the noise, pressed the panic button and ADTrushed to the house.

By this time, the husband had forced thetowel rail off the wall and used it to breakdown the door.

ADT officers rescued the traumatised cou-ple and notified the Wynberg police, detec-tives and the forensic team.

The Constantia Valley Watch Association(CVWA) tracked the suspects through thebush.

Meanwhile, medics attended to the badlytraumatised couple.

CVWA checked the footage from the neigh-bour’s security cameras which faced theroad.

The driveway gates of the house were un-damaged and police suspect the robbersclimbed over the wall and then smashed inthe front door.

The couple recovered from the shock at aneighbour’s house, as they didn’t want to re-turn to the blood-stained house.

Afterwards, they praised the police, securi-ty and neighbours who rushed to their res-cue.

They said this experience will not stopthem returning to Cape Town next year.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact Wynberg police detectives on(021) 790 1300 or Warrant Officer MalcolmJacobs on 079 894 1469.

IMPORTANTNOTICE

Boxed in by society’s barsTAMMY PETERSEN

EACH morning before dawn, Rog-er Wentzel puts on his beaten-uptakkies, packs a lunch box andstarts his two kilometre trek to

the nearest main road.

There, hewalks fromcar to car asmotoristswait for the robot to change.He is begging, but not for money. He wants

a job.Wentzel is one of thousands of former con-

victs unable to find employment, despiteturning over a new leaf.Studies conducted by the Community Law

Centre finds that two thirds of previous of-fenders are unable to find jobs four monthsafter release.Of the one third that do, 33% are employed

in family businesses, 33% return to the jobsthey held before imprisonment and the restfind work through social networks.But for the vast majority, formal employ-

ment remains elusive.For the past five years Wentzel (35) has

been just anotherman on the side of the road,sometimes picked up to do an odd job at some-one’s home.He is willing to do gardening for R20 or

work on construction sites for R30 a day. Buthe is hamstrung by a conviction 10 years agoof house burglary forwhichhewas sentencedto three years in jail.A drug addict at the time, he broke into a

neighbour’s house and stole a TV.The homeowner caught him and he was ar-

rested. Besides using drugs, he says, thebreak-in was his only offence.“But I changedmy life in the cells,” he says.

“I knew I never wanted to end up there again.As I counteddown thedaysbeforemyrelease,Imadebig plans formyself: Iwas going to pro-vide formy two children, be a better husbandto my wife and become a decent, law abidingmember of society. I never knew how hard itwould be with that criminal record on myback.”The day he walked out of Pollsmoor Prison

a free man, he set out to find a job.Hewent from factories to small businesses,

handing in his one-page CV which includesthe fact he has a criminal record.“I never got one call back,” he says, defeat-

ed. “As the head of my family, it is the worstthing to admit that yourwife is the breadwin-ner. She earns R300 a week working behindthe counter at a fisheries. The money sheearns isn’t enough to cover our rent and ex-penses.”When he started standing at the side of the

road, he would earn about R150 a week; mostdays he wouldn’t get picked up at all.“In the beginning, I kept thinking about go-

ing back to a life of crime. It’s not nice seeingyour children walk with broken shoes be-cause you can’t afford new ones, or makingthem eat dry bread because there’s nothing

to put on their sandwiches.“But I always remembered that promise I

made to myself – to be a family man. And Iwould rather be there to help find solutionsto our financial situations than be locked upand missing milestones in my children’slives.”Themost common cause for offenders’ ina-

bility to secure employment is the blot ontheir criminal record, says Professor LukasMuntingh, a co-founder and project coordi-nator of theCivil SocietyPrisonReform Initi-ative.“This in itself is a form of discrimination,

as the criminal record system businesses useis structured in a blunt and categorical man-ner – either you have one or you don’t,” heexplains.An applicant for a position as a computer

programmer can therefore be scrapped fromthe running for a dagga possession convic-tion 10 years before, Muntingh says.“Clearly the offence is not linked to the

type of work applied for, but because of themark on the record, the potential employeralready removes you from the candidate list.It is for this reason that most don’t add thissection to their CV in hopes it will not comeup in the interview process or in future.”Usually young offenders who have spent

extended time in jail have a skill and educa-tional deficiency.“The economic situation and high unem-

ployment rate already sees people battling inthe unskilledmarket, and owing to there usu-ally being no formal application or CV neces-sary, this is also the sector which most ex-of-fenders opt for.”After serving 20 years in jail for five counts

of armed robbery, Dudley, too, dreamt ofturning his life around upon his release fouryears ago.“I applied for work all over, willing to do

odd jobs or even be a cleaner, but nobodywould give me a chance once they found outabout my record. Eventually I tried to do myown thing and start a grass-cutting business.I charged half the price that similar compa-nies asked, but nobody wanted me on theirproperty,” he says.Prison tattoos cover his arms, legs and

parts of his face. “I know I look like a scaryguy, but I amnot theman Iwas before. I want-ed tomake a fresh start, but that’s impossiblewhen everyone knows you’re a tronkvoël. Ittook me two months to realise that nobodywas going to give me a hand.”Today, he runs an illegal shebeen and sells

dagga to smaller drug merchants.He looks after his mother, a double am-

putee with Alzheimers, and every month hesends R1 000 to his three-year-old daughterwho lives with her mother in Swellendam.Dudleyhasneverbeen re-arrested sincehis

release and his neighbours clearly respecthim. One woman says Dudley is known as“The Godfather” in their community.“He is a good man,” she says. “He helps me

with my little soup kitchen by donating R200a week towards the vegetables. When the eld-erly people don’t have money for food, hepacks out groceries from his own cupboardsso they don’t go to bed hungry. Dudley wassuffering for things he did over two decadesago, and that isn’t right. He ismaking a livingand supporting his community.”If caught, he could be carted back to jail,

but he says that isn’t good enough reason tostop him from running his business.“We all do what we have to do to survive.

Those who point fingers don’t knowwhat it’slike to go sleep hungry or to have your land-lord threaten to throw you out because youcan’t pay your rent. They don’t know whatit feels like to be chased away like a dog andcalled a skelm even if you didn’t even steala thing.”Most of the people in his street know he is

involved in illegal activities, but have not re-ported him because “the good (he does) out-weighs the bad”.“I don’t believe I’ma criminal. I’man entre-

preneur because I am supporting my family.When you have a record, nobody wants totouch you. You have to do your own thing,because the Lord forgives, but societydoesn’t.”Too little funding and focus on social re-

integration is the cause of convicts battlingto find their place in a free society, Muntinghsays. “Of the R18bn allocated in the budgetfor Correctional Services, a mere 3% of thisfunding goes toward the parole system or so-cial reintegration programme,” he explains.“Whilemoremoney should logically be spenton supporting and reforming prisoners tolive a crime-free life, the bulk of the financegoes towards the offender’s actual prisonstay.”

The parole system is nothing more than aform of policing as a released convict is ex-pected to fend for himself, Muntingh contin-ues.“Not supporting someone after their re-

lease or informing them of resources to assistthem while they adjust to freedom will inevi-tably see government funding the offender’snext stint in jail.”Vanessa Padayachee, the national co-ordi-

nator of research and design at the NationalInstitute for Crime Prevention and the Re-integration of Offenders (Nicro), says a moreorganised approach is needed to find employ-ment opportunities for former inmates.“A network to create a proper, coordinated

approach to assisting unemployed offendersis in the process of being established. Hope-fully this will help decrease the number ofpreviously convicted job-seekers so that theycan have a better chance at starting a newlife,” she says.Most parolees are left to fend for them-

selves once they are released, she says.“While they need to reintegrate into the so-

called normal society, which in itself is a bigpsychological shift, they also need to startsupporting and sustaining themselves. Thisis a major adjustment, considering that theyhave become accustomed to fixed meals andfollowing prison schedules and rules foryears.”While a life behind bars is hard, she says,

life with a criminal record is sometimes evenworse. “Support is needed to keep previousoffenders on the right track. Training and jobopportunities are offered by organisationswhich work with former inmates and corpo-rate partnerships also help ex-criminals be-come self-sustainable through formal em-ployment.”

Education is a lifelineTAMMY PETERSEN

WHILE most enter the prisonsystemwith a limited education,opportunities are available forinmates to further their studies.Koos Gerber, spokesperson

for the Department of Correc-tional Services, says offenderskills development is one of thekey strategies the departmentuses to facilitate the rehabilita-tion and reintegration of offend-ers into communities.“While in prison, offenders

who meet entry requirementsare offered training opportuni-ties in entrepreneurial skills,computer skills, basic occupa-tional skills, such as hair dress-ing, carpentry and welding aswell as electrical and mechani-cal training,” he says.They can also enrol for Fur-

therEducationandTraining col-lege programmes.In theWesternCape, offenders

receive accredited training infields such as food services, agri-culture, business skills, carpen-try, computer skills and electri-cal training.

But in the past year, only 316offenders signedupandcomplet-ed courses.Offenders wanting to pursue a

Higher Learning qualificationthroughdistance education fundtheir own studies.The department provides only

administrative support to the in-mates who registered for HigherLearning.A number of organisations

have formed partnerships withgovernment to equip offenderswith skills. “These include thePrimary Sector Education andTrainingAuthority. TheDepart-ment also obtained funding fromthe National Skills Fund, whichfalls under the Department ofHigher Education and Trainingto train offenders in variousfields,” he says.In conjunction with Project

Literacy, offenders with a Grade12 qualification were trained asAbet facilitators last year.The provincial Correctional

Services Department only fundsstudiesup toGrade 12.Qualifica-tions beyond that has to be fi-nanced by the offender.

Petty thieveshit homes inWynberg WestJUANITA WILLIAMS

FIVEbreak-insoccurred inoneday in theblock bordered by four Wynberg roads,say residents.

The block is bounded by Wellington, Ben-jamin, Wolfe and Cogill roads.Wynberg police confirmed that five inci-

dents were reported on Monday 14 January.The burglaries took place between 07:30 andmidnight.Warrant Officer Silvino Davids, Wynberg

Police spokesperson, says burglars are look-ing for small electronic goods they can pock-et and sell easily to second-hand dealers.“It is wise for everyone to take note of the

serial numbers of all electronic goods. Thesenumbers are entered on the computer, andif the goods are recovered, they can matchedto the owners,” says Davids.A thief, who broke into a cottage in Wel-

lington Road by removing the burglar barsat the back of the property, stole a TV, cam-era and laptop. He made the mistake of re-turning the following day and was photo-graphed on security cameras next door.Police recognised the suspect and have

made an arrest. They are also checking if thesuspect is linked to other cases.Davids says the police have stepped up pa-

trols in the area, but advises people to bewary of any suspicious activities and phonethe Sector van if they have doubts.“There’s been an influx of people who

scratch in the waste bins put out for collec-tion. They are not from the area. Some comefrom as far as Hanover Park. The police arestopping and questioning them, but we ap-peal to residents not to put out their binsovernight as this attracts suspicious peopleinto the area.”There’s been an increase in commuters be-

ing held up with weapons and robbed of cell-phones on their way to work in theWynbergand Wittebome subways.Davids advises people to walk in a group

rather than alone in the subway. “In mostcases, petty criminals are looking for quickmoney to buy drugs,” he says.Davids suggests the community form

street committees and exchange cellphonenumbers, so that neighbours can contacteach other if anything suspicious occurs.The Wynberg West Sector Commander is

Warrant OfficerMalcolm Jacobs. Reach himon 079 894 1469.These burglaries in Wynberg West follow

a spate of break-ins inWynberg East the pre-vious week.In Hout Bay and Meadowridge there has

been reports of an increase in home inva-

sions. A Hout Bay teenager was working athome when a burglar entered the house andstole her laptop, reports Tanya Lesch, HoutBay Police spokesperson.The man broke into the house through a

small barred window in the bathroom. Twosuspects were later arrested and the stolengoods returned. Hout Bay police thanked theneighbourhood watch for the prompt and ef-ficient response to the call.In Meadowridge, a resident woke up to

find that two cars, parked in the drivewaybehind gates, had been broken into. Thethieves climbed over a wall to get into theproperty. BKM Watch (Bergvliet, Kreupel-bosch and Meadowridge) suspect the samemen were linked to car break-ins in HuxleyRoad, Dalton Way and Newton Road. AnADT officer arrested two suspects in DaltonWay.In a second incident in Newton Drive, a

burglar removed awindowpane, entered thehouse and stole cellphones and a camera.Diep River police and ADT were soon on

the scene and two suspects were spotted bythe neighbourhood watch. Despite a searchthey were not found.It was better luck for the police in South-

field, when five men were caught just eightminutes after they robbed a butcher. Thethieves struck on Thursday 31 January andwithin seconds the police put out an alert fora light blueVWJetta 2, with CF registration.The vehicle was found and five suspects

from Grassy Park were arrested. The samevehicle was linked to the theft of a cellphonefrom a pupil the previous day.Stolen meat and the cellphone have been

recovered. Police interviewedwitnesses andthe forensic team assisted with the investi-gation.In Tokai, the neighbourhood watch and

garden service workers arrested three sus-pects after they set of an alarm in Tokai. Thesuspects were seen leaping over walls andgardens after they set off an alarm in BlueGum Lane. A third suspect was arrested.

Electricity price hike a turn-offHOUSEHOLDS are expected to fork out a16% increase in electricity annually overthe next five years.

Business Unity SouthAfrica (Busa) report-edly estimates if Eskom is allowed to imple-ment this price hike, households will spendR10bn more on electricity by 2018.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-

gaarn andLuzukoZini polled readers aboutthe cost of electricity and what measuresthey’re using to keep down costs.

DOING HER PART: Jamie-Lee Deal thinks theincrease is too high and people will not cope.She says her family does all they can to saveelectricity. “We switch off the geyser whenwe’re not using it, the lights are off when thereis no-one in a room and we wash (small loads)by hand.”

CAN’T AFFORD: DavidMbombo believes every-one will be affected by the increase. “The priceis already high and most people can’t afford it.People need to make sure they don’t leave ap-pliances on after they are done using them.That will will save them a lot of money.”

CAUTIOUS: Justin Neff says he spent aboutR1 800 a month on electricity and wants tobring that cost down by saving electricity. “Ihave energy saving light bulbs. I also switchoff appliances that are not in use, including thegeyser.”

POSITIVE: ShaniceBrookes believes theremaybe an upside to the increase as it might go tomaking sure other people get access to elec-tricity. “At home we do our best to save elec-tricity.Wehave energy saving bulbs and switchoff appliances that we are not using.”

NOT FAIR: Lisa Poggenpoel says those whocan’t afford the increases should be taken intoconsideration, adding unemployment remainsan issue. “People already can’t afford their wa-ter bill and now electricity increases. Whenpeople get desperate it leads to crime.”

NO CHOICE: Mabhuti Mkoko feels with Eskombeing the sole provider of electricity they cando what they want. “I think the increase is un-fair, but the best way for people to deal withit is by going green. You can invest in solar pan-els and other things to help cut costs.”

PAY MORE, GET LESS: Although she does notdeal with the bills herself, Chenique Tamboersays the price increase will affect households.“Everything gets expensive andwhen the elec-tricity goes up the units decrease. We alreadyhave to buy electricity every third day.”

Unit to help homeless at mosqueJUANITA WILLIAMS

THE Nizamia Mosque in Tokai is attractingunwanted visitors.

Vagrants are loitering, littering and sleep-ing at the front of the mosque on the cornerof Keyser and Main roads.

A spokesperson at the mosque said thishas been an ongoing problem for threeyears.Hehas often told the vagrants tomoveand asked them to clean up the mess and lit-ter, but: “It falls on deaf ears. I have contact-ed the Council many times, and the Kirsten-hof police, law enforcement and the Dis-placed People’s Unit have been to check, butthey still return. There is a group of about10 men and women and the usual drugs anddrinkingproblems.Numbers increase in the

earlymorning and evening – for some it’s anall-day rendezvous. The main attractionsare the fast food outlets in the area, and aftertheyhave eaten thevagrants throw thepack-ages on the grass.”

The facebrick wall around the mosque isdefaced with black graffiti and the plantsand grass trampled.

Last year, a bush outside the mosque wasset alight by a group of youngmenwhowerethrowing stones at truck drivers in the Pickn Pay service road next to People’s Post’sbuilding.

The Nizamia Mosque was built in 1889 onthe land which was bought in 1883. The firstimam, Abbas Davids, presided from 1890 to1910. The present imam, Mogamat Sedick,has officiated at the mosque since 1985.

Kirstenhof Police report that they haveprofiled the vagrants, and they are ordinary,harmless, homeless people.

Richard Bosman, Executive Directory:Safety and Security says: “Following the en-quiry from People’s Post, an officer of theCity of Cape Town Law Enforcement’s Dis-placed Peoples Unit (DPU) investigated thecomplaint over the weekend.”

Bosman says the officer conducted an in-terview with the owner of the pet shop situ-ated a few metres from the mosque.

He confirms the problem with the va-grants, according to the shop owner, startedaround three years ago and has increasedover the past year.

The DPU, however, do not have anyrecord of complaints received for this loca-tion, says Bosman.

Also, at the time of the inspection therewere no vagrants to be seen in front of ornext to the mosque, he says.

“The DPU will monitor the location fromnow on and try to assist the vagrants withrehabilitation and to reunite them withtheir families.”

Residents are urged to report any prob-lems with homeless persons to the Safetyand Security all hours call centre on(021) 596 1999.

Owner gets clean-up ordersOwner gets clean-up ordersJUANITA WILLIAMS

THE owner of a problem house in Plum-stead has been ordered by the WynbergMagistrate’s Court to clean up, build awall and employ a 24-hour securityguard.

Neighbours of the house, in PrincessvleiRoad, have been complaining for two yearsabout homeless people sleeping on the prop-erty, and the rubbish and human faeces,which have attractedflies, cockroachesand rodents. Thehouse has no sanitationor electricity.

The City of CapeTown’s ProblemBuildings Unit saysthe owner repeatedlyfailed to address theissues on the proper-ty, despite multipleinterventions by theCity.

Following up oncomplaints fromneighbours, the Unitfirst intervened earlylast year.

Several inspectionsand raids were car-ried out by the unit and Metro Police.

This led to the arrest of several occupantsfor a range of criminal offences.

Ward councillor Carol Bew is relieved asshe has spent many hours in court, liaisingwith the court and City officials.

Bew says: “I have been in many raids andinspections, and had to calm and reassureirate and emotional residents often at week-ends and late at night.”

“I am thrilled that I can say the City welland truly works for you and want to take thisopportunity to thank all the role players thatassisted in achieving this most successful re-sult.”

City Health, in conjunction with the Prob-lem Buildings Unit, took the matter to courtat the end of 2012.

The owner appeared in the Wynberg Mag-istrate’s Court several times, with severalpostponements.

The owner pleaded guilty to all of thecharges and the Senior Prosecutor from theWynberg Magistrate’s Court accepted a pleabargain last week.

He was sentenced to a R40 000 fine or twoyears’ imprisonment, wholly suspended fora period of five years on the condition thatthe occupants are evicted; all waste and fae-cal matter is cleared by Monday 18 February;

the entire propertyis treated by a regis-tered pest control

company for sixmonths and that theproperty is walled orfenced in before Fri-day 8 March.

The owner also hasto employ a 24-hoursecurity officer tosafeguard the prop-erty against illegaloccupants.

The owner willhave to take respon-sibility for all thecosts and provide achemical toilet forthe officer.

The City promisesto monitor the situation to ensure that theconditions are met.

This sentencing serves as a major break-through for the City in its attempts to rid thecity of problem buildings, says the City.

Residents who want to report problembuildings can call (021) 596 1999.

Once an investigation has been completed,a notice will be served on the owner listingcontraventions and the deadline for correct-ing these.

If an owner cannot afford to uplift the prop-erty, the City may do the work and claim thecosts afterwards.

If a building is beyond restoration, theowner will be consulted on other options likeselling the property or demolishing thebuilding.

Open seasonfor conmenJUANITA WILLIAMS

A CONMAN is phoning people andtelling them their computer system isinfected with a virus.

Several readers have complained theyrecently received phone calls warningthem about the virus.

The caller asks the “client” if theywould like him to clear the problem. Hethen asks for money to be put into an ac-count by credit card.

Andrew Hopwood, of Computer Maniain Cavendish Square, says this is an oldscam, which has been doing the roundsfor two years.

Hopwood says: “Most of the callers arebased overseas. They are quite skilled.They ask people to log onto their website,do a basic clean-up of their systems andthen people pay by credit card.”

Hopwood has noticed that the scamstarted up again this year. “About fivecustomers have asked for help. Somehave paid the money with their creditcards. The conmen are very convincing.I once received a similar call when I livedin Pinelands and my number was listedin the phone book. I just put the phonedown,” he says.

“I advise people that there’s no need topanic, but if anyone has logged onto thewebsite suggested by the conmen, it iswise to have the computer checked out.So far, we haven’t picked up any damageto customers’ computers.”

On the Microsoft website there is awarning from the chief security advisor,Dr Khomotso Kganyago. This warns peo-

ple not to log onto the website as thescammers can use remote control to ac-cess online banking, user names andpasswords. “Cyber criminals use thephone directory to harvest consumernames and information. They claim to befrom Windows and Microsoft. Often theypush the victim to buy a year’s computermaintenance subscription. It is not prac-tice at Microsoft to cold call consumersin regards to malfunctioning PCs or vi-ruses.”

He advises people to take the caller’s in-formation and report them to the policeon 08600 10111.

“Never give credit card or financial in-formation to someone claiming to befrom Microsoft technical support.Change all passwords for the computer,email and financial accounts (bank andcredit cards) and scan with the MicrosoftSecurity Scanner, www.microsoft.com/security/scanner.”

The so-called free fish scam has alsostarted up again. A motorist waiting atthe robot on Main Road Plumstead re-ports that she was greeted by a veryfriendly man who said he used to workwith her. He asked for a lift and got intothe car.

Convinced she knew the man, butcouldn’t remember his name, the motor-ist dropped him off in Victoria Road. Be-fore he got out the car, the man offeredto give her a box of fish. He “borrowed”R100 from her, got out the car and disap-peared.

Warrant Officer Keith Chandler saysno incidents of computer calls or fishfraudsters were reported to Diep River.

Raze the alarmIT IS fire season in the Cape – and every per-son should be on the alert.Some years ago a British national was tak-

en to court for allegedly starting a fire inCapeTown.The tourist is believed to have flicked an

incendiary device.He was found not guilty and could return

home.But most locals cannot simply walk away

from the disaster that remains in the wakeof a raging inferno.Homes in informal settlements are burnt to

the ground, while possessions and importantpersonal documents are swept away by theleaping flames.The worst legacy, by far, is the lives lost in

fires.People trapped by blazes, brave firefighters

and beloved pets often succumb to the flames.The past week fires flared on the slopes of

Simon’s Town and elsewhere in the Cape –Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Clanwilliam.It is said to have caused a ring of fire.Closer to home, seemingly smaller fires

cause as much devastation. In Mitchell’sPlain a six-year-old girl and two women diedin a fire inTafelsig. And, inOttery, a businesswas damaged in a fire.For many, the prospect of having to start

from scratch is in itself daunting.How do people who, in some instances al-

ready have little earthly possessions, startover?Many of themhave had to flee fireswith on-

ly the clothes on their backs.This city can pride itself on having people

with big hearts.When appeals for donations are made,

many of the “haves” do reach out to the “havenots”. This is to be commended.The bokkie adverts at the city’s natural

spots are a fading reminder that we are thecaretakers of our natural and built environ-ments.That, rather than themisery of loss, should

be the legacy for future generations.

Pool resourcesTHE issue of lack of visiblepolicing and resources hasenjoyed media coverage.If ever if there was oppor-

tunity to resolve this issueimmediately, one need lookno further than theMetro Po-lice Units of the differentmu-nicipalities throughout thecountry. Their existing du-ties could be taken over bytheir Law Enforcement Divi-sions, including the TrafficUnit, focusingon thepolicingof local bylaws. The differentMetro Police Divisions canthen be amalgamated intothe existing National PoliceService at the stroke of a pen;thus solving the problem oflack of resources.To make this work effec-

tively, though, we need thebuy-in of those who are op-posed to the ANC’s bold planto effectively address thechallenges facing our policeservice.Notwithstanding the myri-

ad complaints, not all mem-bers of the Police Service areabove reproach, but thosewho choose to serve are inthe majority and deserve oursupport and respect as theircolleagues are killed aroundthem.Given that the ANC has

mooted the idea of includingdifferent Metro Police Divi-sions into the police, all thatis needed is political willfrom everyone else to sup-port this plan to safeguardthose living in constant fear.COLIN ARENDSE

Striking should be last resortTHEwish has come true for whomever said:“Make the Western Cape ungovernable.”I support the solidarity of the farm work-

ers striking for a better, living wage. I evensupport their toyi-toying and downing tools.What I certainly disagree with is burning

farms, looting shops and stoning cars on theN1.For every action taken, there are conse-

quences. I served as a loyal shop steward forthe National Union of Textile Workers(NUTW) at a large textile company. If we hadto strike and down tools for everywage nego-tiation each year the company would havebeen forced to close down and let over 2 000workers go.What did we do differently? We had good

union leaders who always thought of theworkers first.(There were) good and successful negotia-

tions that never tarnished the relationship(between) shop stewards and the union, em-ployers and employees.This strike action could turn out to be suc-

cessful, but the damage done to the economyand the employee is irreversible.Union leaders should have made their in-

tentions known before engaging in illegal in-dustrial action.The workers could be out of pocket for a

long time (until and) if they do come to anagreement on a wage settlement backdatedto the first day of absence.On the otherhand, retrenchedor terminat-

ed workers, (who have been) living on the

farm for decades, would have to vacate thepremises and be uprooted from their livingquarters on the farm.Unfortunately, we, the man in the street,

are at the end of the food chain.All the strikes affect every person.South Africa is already on the brink of

high unemployment, with rising crime sta-tistics.South African Nylon Spinners (Sans) was

started in 1964 and closed its doors in 2009,leaving over 2 000 employees jobless.That also had a chain reactionwith suppli-

ers also either (having had to) shut down orretrench (staff) due to the supply and de-mand chain.One of the main reasons for closing this

plant (Sans) was continuous demands forhigher wages and benefits.Both China and Taiwan could produce the

same product and quality, including expor-tation cost, at half the price.Is this the route South Africa would have

to take in the future, importing our freshpro-duce and other commodities?These strikes definitely dampen the unem-

ployed, more so, the defenceless aged livingon a pension.I am not saying do not strike, but that

should really be the last resort if negotia-tions fail and amicable solutions cannot rem-edy the problem.A supermarket was selling avocados for

R10 each. Where is this going to end?ARTHUR PILLAY

HAVE YOUR SAY!AMENDMENTS TO 2012/13

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Bouquet for top serviceI REALLY need to share my good fortunewith everyone. I buy lots of plants fromStodels in Constantia

and am a club member as well. I receivea free gift and a newsletter – which isemailed every month with very useful in-formation.

When we bought plants this month they

were out of stock of free gifts, which I wasdisappointedabout and sent anemail to cus-tomer care.

Within a day I received a phone call from

the manager CJ apologising about runningout of stock and said he will phone whenmore comes in, which he did. Eventually hedelivered my free gift plus another free gift

which was an orchid plant and a R250 giftcard to my front door. I was blown awaywith his service.

I would like to say thank to CJ for the ex-cellent service I received.

Well done, Stodels, Constantia.RODNEY AND CATHERINE THOMASSunnydale

SA brace for OranjeOranje onslaughtLIAM MOSES

HOLLAND will pose the biggest threat tothe women in green and gold when theSouth Africanwomen’s hockey team taketo the field in the Investec Challenge,

This according to the team leadership, whoselected the Dutch – the top ranked interna-tional women’s team andOlympic champions – as their toughest op-

position in the tournament.At tournament launch inNewlands onSun-

day, SA coach Giles Bonnet picked Hollandas favourites to come out on top ahead of hisside, Australia and England.“They (Holland) are far further along than

the other teams at this stage. The Dutch werevery impressive againstAustralia (in awarmup game at Hartleyvale Stadium on Satur-day), from the start and all the way through,”says Bonnet.“When the tournament starts I’m sure we

will see a very different England team and Ihope we will see a very different South Afri-can team.We have everything to play for andI think the competition level will rise bymay-be 15 to 20 percent when the competitionstarts.”SAhavebeen in redhot formrecently, beat-

ing Belgium, Ghana, Austria and Azerbaijanin consecutive matches in round two of the

International Hockey Federation WorldLeague last month.The hosts also pulled off an impressive 3-1

victory in a warm up match against Englandon Saturday, while Holland thrashed Aus-tralia 6-1.SA co-captain Marsha Marescia said it

would be dangerous to read toomuch into thewarm-up matches’ results, but echoed Bon-net’s sentiments about the Dutch.“I think from theDutch teamweare expect-

ing a high intensity performance and a highpaced game. Just judging from the warm-upgames – from all the four teams they have themost Olympic team players still part of theirgroup. So we are expecting quite a goodmatch,” she says.“Like us, England and Australia are in dif-

ferent phases, building new teams. It will bea lotmore competitive and closer. I’mnot say-ing we won’t be too close to the Dutch, be-cause we have proved that we can (play atthat level).”The InvestecChallengekickedoff last night
