FOURTH INCIDENT: FOREIGN NATIONAL

Shop owner gunned downTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

Themurder of a foreignnational inWest-lake is the latest in a spike in crimesin the area.

On Saturday 30 March a Somalian nation-al was gunned down in his shop on the cor-ner of Westlake Drive and Lynx Way.This is the fourth incident involving a

shop owned by a foreign national since thestart of the year.Warrant Officer Rodney Franks, spokes-

person for Kirstenhof Police Station, saysthe shop was open for business when a gun-man stormed into the shop and opened fire.Franks says one round was fired, fatally

wounding the man.A case of murder is being investigated by

Kirstenhof police, but no arrests have been

made yet. “We are appealing to the commu-nity or anyone who was in Westlake at thetime of the shooting to come forward withinformation.”Franks cautions all business owners and

those of informal businesses to “be mindfulof suspicious behaviour from individualshanging around the businesses”.While police confirm there have been

three burglaries of shops owned by foreignnationals prior to the murder, they cannotsay if this incident was a burglary gonewrong. “There is no link between offencesyet and nothing was taken from the scene,so we can’t confirm this was a robbery gonewrong.”Anthea Muller, Westlake Community

Centre manager, says incidents involvingattacks and theft were never a concernbe-

fore. “ Therewere a lot of problemswithmu-sic and alcohol (inWestlake), but neverwithrobberies or thefts,” says Muller.She points out that everyone in the com-

munity knows each other, but Muller saysshe has noticed a lot of new faces in the area.“Everyonewho lives here knows each oth-

er and all the recent attacks on communitymembers have been (by) people fromoutsidethe area. It isn’t people who live here.”Muller says most shops in the community

are owned by Somalian and Chinese nation-als. “These shops are being targeted in bur-glaries and thefts.”Locals have not gone unscathed. A resi-

dent, who does not want to be named, saysshe was stabbed when she was robbed.“I was walking down the road when a guy

approached me and asked for my cellphone.

When I tried to fight him off he stabbed me.This is happeningmore often in the area andit is scary.”Franks points out there is less crime in

Westlake than in Tokai. “Since the start ofour campaign against drugs and alcoholcrime has stabilised a lot. Police visibilityhas been high in the area and we are alwaysdoing random searches,” he says.However, since the murder police will be

giving Westlake “the highest attention”,says Franks.Patrick Heynes, chairperson of the West-

lake Home Owners’ and Residents’ Associa-tion, says the crime increase is “definitelya concern”.“Manymeetings are being arranged to ad-

dress these issues within the community,”says Heynes.

IDENTIFY: INDIVIDUALS AND CARS

Snap sex trade clients – copsTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

Photograph individuals availing them-selves of the services of prostitutes.That’s the appeal by Wynberg po-

lice in an effort for the community to bemore pro-active against soliciting.Wynberg Police Station spokesperson

Captain Andre Venter says Wynberg po-lice, alongwith the cluster, have requestedassistance from Metro Police to help withthe profiling of prostitutes.He says prostitution and drugs have al-

ways been areas of concern in the commu-nity.But now residents are being called on to

help clear the streets of prostitution.Venter says they are alerting the commu-

nity to photograph individuals and cars ofpeople who use prostitutes.“They wouldn’t be in business if people

weren’t using their services. If we don’t getassistance from the community our handsare tied.”Margaret Jantjies, a Wynberg resident

and mother of twin boys, uses Main Roadto walk home from work.Jantjies, a nurse, says she strongly feels

Wynberg Main Road is no place for herchildren to be safe.Clutching her handbag, she says: “I’ve

hadmyhandbag stolen and cellphone pick-pocketed twice in the last year, so I take nochances when walking in the street.”She adds: “In Wynberg, you don’t even

have to search far from your house to seesome funny business going on. Just drivedown Main Road at night and you’ll seeprostitutes on every corner.“It is even sadder that you don’t have to

wait until the evening to see drugs beingsold and it makes me sick.”She says no one seems to have “any re-

spect for anyone (else)”.Jantjies adds that she misses the “days

when you could walk down the road, chat-ting to a friend or forgetting to zip yourbag”.“Such days are long gone and this street

is no place for children,” says Jantjies (42).She says she prays for her sons, Jordan

andJoshua, to beprotected fromthe “manyinfluences the youth experience” today.While her sons, who are in Grade 9, are

old enough towalk the streets alone, it doesnot put her mind at ease.

“I have good children, but with all thecrime and wrong crowds around, I oftenfear that a trip to the mall can change mychildren’s lives.“I wish we could claim back our streets

and get rid of the rubbish (crime),” saysJantjies.Venter agrees with Jantjies, saying it

doesn’t have to be dark for drug sellers totake to the streets, and drug users soon fol-low “when the craving hits”.Venter adds: “The problem is wide-

spread and we have many drug nests inWynberg.”The Wynberg Railway Station and taxi

rank are always crawling with people andthe constant “traffic creates a lot of oppor-tunity”.“There is so much traffic in that area be-

cause of the station, taxi rank and stallspeople visit which make it an easy spot foropportunists looking to sells drugs,” saysVenter.He says while they arrest suspects for

drug peddling and prostitution, wearingthe police uniform makes it harder for of-ficers to catch criminals.As a result, saysVenter, theydomoreun-

dercover operations.Jimmy Young, chairperson of the Wyn-

berg Community Policing Forum (CPF),says crime in the area continues to in-crease.Young identifies Main Road and Church

Street as crime hotspots.“There are a lot of foreigners selling

drugs and crime in the area has gone up,”says Young.“All the crimes are a direct result of the

drugs as people use themoney to feed theirhabit.”

OVERCOMING: ALL THE ODDS

Inspiration to all in despairANDRÉ BAKKES

THREE words changed Tracey Jegel’slife forever. Three words dumped herinto a deep pit of despair and tested her

unyielding determination. Three words –Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia – took her todeath’s doorstep and, ultimately, opened hereyes to life’s wonder.“The doctor told me I needed a bone mar-

row transplant... I was just 19 years old anddid not want to die,” says Jegels, a nurse.At the time of her diagnosis, she thought

cancer was synonymous with death, but inher case it had the opposite effect.It reinvigorated her.The oddswere shewould succumb to a life

of hardship and she’d never be able to have

children of her own.But faith, hope and love ignore the odds.Since she was diagnosed with cancer,

scrutinised by doctors and saved from de-spondency, Jegels has gone on towin severalmedals at the World Transplant Games(WTG).When she crossed the finish line in 2009

and won a gold medal in the 3km walk forSouth Africa, one would have been forgivenfor thinking at the timeher race only started3km back.It startedmore than a decade earlierwhen

she heard those three words for the firsttime.“InDecember 1995 Iwas inTygerbergHos-

pital and all alone. Then a whole group ofdoctors and students came in the room and

I thought it was a bit strange. They said thetest results were not good and that I haveChronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). Ithought I was going to die... The more theyexplained,” she remembers “the more Icried.”She was told she would need a bone mar-

row transplant from a relative donor, who,in this case, was her older brother.InAugust thenext year the transplantwas

performed.She was told that there was a possibility

her bodymight reject it. About threemonthsafter the transplant she went into a relapse.“Thedoctors expected it to happen, so they

had a ‘boost’ ready, but I thought I was inremission and then it came back... That wasmy lowest point. I found my strength in

prayer and my family, particularly mymother,” she adds.She was told the chemotherapy and total

body radiation sessions would leave her in-fertile and, in effect, propel her straight intomenopause.This news was particularly devastating.So it was with tremendous elation when,

some years later, a gynaecologist confirmedthat she was pregnant.She was to be the first post-bone marrow

transplant recipient who conceived natural-ly.Jegels immediately phoned her husband,

Brendan.“I was like a teenager! I just couldn’t stop

laughing! It was a miracle. I gave birth toMatthew (now 5) and then six months laterI was pregnant again with Phoebe (4), whowas born in 2008.”She insists the two miracles are enough.Jegels and her then husband-to-be first

went to the bi-annual WTG in Budapest in1999, where she won a silver medal in the3km walk.She has since competed in numerous

WTGs and has come to excel in this event.She has also started competing in 10-pinbowling and petanque (a form of boules), butnow her biggest challenge has become herage – and there’s no cure for that!

Teaming up to catch suspectTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

WORKING together has led to Hout Bayresidents assisting the police to catch amurder suspect.

A 26-year-old man from Imizamo Yethuwas stabbed after an argument ensuedwith the suspect last week.

Hout Bay Police Station CommanderCaptain Bester confirms: “An argumentand scuffle took place and that led to thevictim being stabbed.”

The victim was rushed to hospital, butdied on the way.

The victim’s identity cannot be releasedas police could not, at the time of going

to print, say whether his family had beennotified.

Bester says residents of Imizamo Yethuwho had recognised the suspect took himto the police station where he turned him-self in.

Warrant Officer Tanya Lesch, spokes-person for Hout Bay Police Station, saystwo witnesses fetched the suspect fromSamora Machel and brought the suspectto Hout Bay police.

The 24-year-old suspect was arrestedand charged with the murder.

The suspect is to have appeared in theWynberg Magistrate’s Court on Mondayon charges of murder.

SURVEY: A ‘SENSITIVE MATTER’

Love poll getsunder the skinNADINE MOODIE

An opinion piece in the UCT studentpublicationVarsity has been met withmixed feelings on social media.

The publication’s editor-in-chief, Alexan-dra Nagel, has, meanwhile, opted to retractsome of the wording on an accompanyingpie chart which has been found to be mostoffensive.

This is in response to an on-campus sur-vey done bystudent Qamran Tabo (20).

Tabo wrote that 38% students preferredto date “Caucasian” people, 14% preferredto date Indians, 19% preferred Coloureds,11% preferred to date Asians, 10% pre-ferred to date mixed race individuals and8% preferred “Africans”.

The opinion piece, which was accompa-nied by a disclaimer, has resulted in com-ments on Facebook and Twitter.

It has since publication last week madenational headlines, and has led to the UCTeditorial team fielding a deluge of com-plaints.

Media24 press ombudsman George Claas-sen says the results of the piece should notbe taken seriously, because it is not scientif-ically representative and is unreliable.

“This is a case of bad journalism and ter-rible science exercised by theVarsity edito-rial team,” says Claassen.

Nagel reiterates the opinion expressed byTabo is not necessarily that of Varsity.

“The writer did not abuse her right nordid she have any intention of issuing an at-

tack on individual racial groups. She sim-ply just pinpointed a matter that is still af-fecting South Africans,” Nagel said.

“I will, however, retract the words ‘UCTvotes on most attractive race’ as the title ofthe pie chart.”

UCT’s Young Communist League chair-person Mangaliso Khomo says they willlodge a complaint with the South Africa Hu-man Rights Commission.

“The results of the survey were insensi-tive. This is a clear sign that race relationsare still a work in progress on campus,” hesaid.

Claassen explained that the 60 studentspolled in the survey were exercising theirconstitutional right.

“People have the right to say what theythink. A question like this should’ve beenused in a vox-pop.”

Economics Honours student Thembi Losisays the editorial team should have exer-cised better judgement.

“They should have rather asked whatcharacteristics people value in others andnot race preference,” says Losi.

“The question at hand is too subjectiveand touches on race, (which is) a sensitivetopic in South Africa.”

UCT SRC’s vice-chairperson of externalaffairs, Keenan Hendricks, says the opinionpiece raises a serious issue of race sensitivi-ty in South Africa. “We really need to lookat the autonomy of the press, but at thesame time we also have to protect the digni-ty of the student who wrote the article.”

‘Burn season’until MayPLANNED ecological burns will takeplace until May during “burn season”

The City of Cape Town wants toalert residents that various burnswill be carried out at nature reservesacross the Peninsula, weather per-mitting.

The exact dates of the plannedburns cannot be determined.

These burns are conducted to pro-tect and preserve the Mother City’sunique and irreplaceable biodiversi-ty from the encroachment of develop-ment, which has led to its depletionand fragmentation.

Removing the canopy created bymature vegetation, sunlight is al-lowed to penetrate at ground level,which, together with smoke, helpswith germination.

Too many fires can lead to a declinein slow-growing species, while infre-quent fires lead to the domination ofmature plants. Managed burns are,therefore, necessary to ensure maxi-mum species diversity.

Ecological burns are usually con-ducted during the early autumn sea-son, as the weather conditions aremore suitable period. Ideal condi-tions are site-dependent and factorssuch as wind, temperature and hu-midity are considered before proceed-ing.

Brush piles may also be burnt be-tween April and September.

The burn procedure is conductedsafely and efficiently, with burningpermits obtained from the subcoun-cil, the City’s Air Quality Manage-ment Section, and Fire and RescueServices. Professional and competentfirefighters, as well as fire-fightingequipment and vehicles are presentduring these burns.

SOUTH AFRICA is one of only 12 coun-tries across the world where it is safe todrink tap water.

This is according to the Blue Drop certi-fication programme, which ranked SA asthe country with the third best tap waterin the world.

The incentive-based initiative regulateswater services globally, with the aim toimprove and maintain the quality of tapdrinking water. It covers several watermanagement aspects.

Deidre Nxumalo-Freeman, president ofthe Institute of Waste Management ofSouthern Africa (IWMSA), applauds localmunicipalities for its monitoring and at-tention to the quality of our drinking wa-ter. “In South Africa, our constitution dic-tates that access to safe drinking water isa basic human right. The department ofwater affairs instituted the Blue Drop pro-gramme in 2008 and since then, we havelargely seen continuous improvement inthe rankings of our municipalities in re-spect of drinking water quality,” she says.

“One source of our water is groundwa-ter, (which) collects underground fromrunoff.We consider it essential that peopleare aware of how easily our water tablescan become contaminated through badwaste management practices. We alsoneed to be vigilant when it comes to main-taining and upgrading the infrastructuresthat allow us to have a high quality ofdrinking water.”

IWMSA focuses on education and train-ing, in partnership with municipalities, tobetter equip them with an understandingof the importance of effective waste man-agement matters. “As such we believe inthe efficacy of getting a message across,particularly to those working at grass-roots level, to engender a greater appreci-ation of the importance of their variousfunctions,” Nxumalo-Freeman says.

“While our local and district municipal-ities are responsible for ensuring that we

have access to safe drinking water, wemust all assist in the process. IWMSA hasan important role in creating awarenessalong with empowerment through infor-mation.”

V IWMSA is an NPO, comprising dedicated profes-sionals in their respective fields who volunteer theirtime and expertise to educate, promote and furtherthe science and practice of waste management. Formore information visit www.iwmsa.co.za.

GettingGettinginked: artinked: artor trash?or trash?PEOPLE get tattoos for vari-

ous reasons. Some do it onspiritual grounds, some in

remembrance of a special personor event and others for no reasonother than art.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zi-

ni and Tarren-Lee Habelgaarnpolled readers to find out whetherthey thought tattoos were arty ortrashy.

JUDY FONTWI: She says people should get tattoos for the right reasons. “I love tattoos becauseI think it’s art. It’s a personal choice to get onebut people should not get a tattoo just to impresspeople. I have five tattoos and I’m getting anotherone soon.”

URMIL DESAI: He says it’s acceptable – in moderation. “I can handle a person with one small tattoo,but getting many is just abnormal. I’m going toget one myself but it will be my first and last.”

WILLIAM DE VILLIERS: He says people get tattoosjust to show off and he doesn’t see the point. “It’swrong to have tattoos because if God wanted meto have a tattoo, I would have been born withit.”

ALIZE RIX: She says tattoos are art and a wayof self expression. “A person with a tattoo is likeanyone else. I don’t judge people based on havingone. I already have a tattoo but I’m thinking ofgetting another.”

JOSE ALINO: He says as a religious man he hasto disagree with the idea of having your bodyinked. He thinks they are wrong and do not lookgood. “In the Bible it says tattoos are from thedevil and therefore I do not agree with people getting them.”

MELISSA FOURIE: She feels if people get inkedit should have meaning. She continues that mosttattoos will get less appealing with age. “Youmight get a tattoo of an eagle while you areyoung, but when you get older it will look like asparrow.”

JOUBERT ACKER: He thinks tattoos are art andtell a story. He says while some people get tattoosto be cool, others do it for a deeper meaning. “Mytattoos tell my life story. Some people also sayonce you start you can’t stop because it gets addictive.”

TALKS : A FIRST

Education key tomanaging allergiesTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

FAILING to manage allergies canlead to death.

That’s why doctors and those in-volvedwith theAllergyClinic at theRedCross Children’s Hospital are helpingcare givers to get educated.

To show their support of World Aller-gy Week, which runs until Thursday 14April, the hospital will host a free talkfor teachers and parents to inform themon how to manage severe allergic reac-tions and how to reduce the risk ofdeath.

This year’s theme is, Food Allergy – ARising Global Health Problem, toucheson the fact that the medical communityhave noticed an increase in food aller-gies and Capetonians are no exception.

Professor Mike Levin, Head of the Al-lergy Department at the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital, says allergies have sky-rocketed in Cape Town.

“We have noticed a massive surge inthe number of children with food aller-gies at our clinics. Also, each child withfood allergies is now allergic to morefoods than before, and there are morechildren with severe, life-threateningreactions like anaphylaxis,” says Levin.

The event, which takes place today(Tuesday 9 April) in the Main HospitalBuilding of the Red Cross Children’sHospital at 16:00, is aimed at “educatingpeople and spreading the knowledge fur-ther by the publicity”.

This is the first time such an event isbeing run.

Levin says: “Many patients with seri-ous food allergies don’t have access toaction plans, adrenaline injectors or asafe environment at school where theycanbe protected from foods that are dan-gerous for them.”

He says education is critical, “not onlyfor patients and their families, but also

for school teachers. Even doctors andnurses need helpwith dealingwith diag-nosis and holistic management of chil-dren with food allergies to help themlead a happy and safe life”.

Children, their parents and teachersoften don’t have access to the correct di-agnoses or management plans. Thetreatment of allergies is a tertiaryhealthcare service and therefore prima-ry health care workers at clinics andcommunity health centres are trainedonly to give parents basic advice on al-lergies, such as which foods to avoid.

The hospital will launch the AllergySociety of South Africa (ALLSA) severeallergies and anaphylaxis patient regis-ter. “It is a resource aimed at gatheringinformation on people with severe aller-gies and anaphylaxis, assessing theircurrent care and providing informationto decrease their future risk.”

AFacebook pagewill also be set up forpeople to network and talk about aller-gy-related issues and “hopefully moti-vate each other and schools to providebetter care for children with allergies”.

The hospital’s allergy service is aunique service where childhood aller-gies are diagnosed and managed. Chil-dren referred to the service have accessto specialised skin and blood tests, andspecially trained nurses.

Dieticians also advise families on safefood choices and patients are providedwith uniquely designed action plans onhow to recognise and treat allergic reac-tions appropriately.

The World Allergy Organisation esti-mates that up to 40%of theworld’s popu-lation suffers from allergic diseases.

According to theWorld Health Organ-isation (WHO), about 300 million peoplehave asthma worldwide. Allergic rhini-tis affects 400 million people annually,while food allergies affect about 200 to250 million.

‘HIDDEN TREASURES’: FOR HOMELESS

Put bins outon collectionday, says copTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

DIRT bins are doubling as a vantage forthieves from which to launch them-selves over fences and onto properties

in Wynberg.This problem is exacerbated by residents

putting out their wheelie bins ahead of thescheduled collection days.Wynberg Community Policing Forum

(CPF) chairperson Jimmy Young says hehas been appealing to the community formonths to “avoid placing their rubbish binsoutside before collection day”.“There is more and more vagrancy being

noticed in the area – especially before col-lection day. People placing their bins out inadvance are inviting people into the area,”says Young.This is a big concern, he emphasises, as

bins are being used by “opportunists look-ing to steal or break in at homes”.“People steal in numbers and bins stand-

ing outside make it easier for people to useas an object to help jump an electric fenceor gate.”If people are more conscious and put the

bins outside on the morning of collection,Young feels it will have a direct impact oncrime incidents. “No bins means no excusefor vagrants to be in the area.”In search of food or clothing, many home-

less people scavenge the bins in search ofdiscarded goods.Searching for “hidden treasures” in a

bin, one homeless man is half-buried in arubbish bin he is scavenging from in astreet off Wetton Road.Marcus Green has been living on the

streets for more than five years.He says: “Oneman’s dirt is anotherman’s

treasure.”

The 35-year-old says he started “skarre-ling for foodandclothes” shortly afterbeingretrenched from the factory where heworked.“I mind my own business and try not to

make a mess, but sometimes peoplethrough away things that have barely beenused or eaten,” says Green.He gets up at 04:00 on Tuesdays to walk

the streets of Wynberg and surrounding ar-eas before the collection truck comesaround. “I don’t find much, but if I can fillthe hole in my stomach and find somethingwarm to keep for the coming wintermonths, I’m usually happy,” says Green.Wynberg Police Station spokesperson

Captain Andre Venter advises againstputting bins out too early. “The publicshould to put their bins out on the morningof collection. If bins are placed outside inadvance it invites people from outside tocome into the area.”Venter says the bins are used to “hide

things, for drug smuggling and vagrants of-ten sleep in them. Some people even stealthe bins to sell the wheels.”Mayco member for Utility Services Er-

nest Sonnenberg says refuse containersshould be kept on the resident’s propertyuntil the scheduled refuse collection day.He adds on the day of refuse collection,

the refuse bin should be placed out on thepavement by 06:00.“Should the bin be stolen on a day other

than the scheduled refuse collection day,the resident could be deemed negligent andcharged the set tariff for a replacementbin,” says Sonnenberg.The current replacement cost is R406.83.In cases where this practice is continued,

residents could be liable to receive a finefrom the City.

Objections stream inLAILA MAJIET

ALMOST 10 000 homeowners are up inarms about the City of Cape Town’s valua-tion of their properties.The City has received 8548 objections

since the general valuation roll of 815 676properties were published in February.Property prices had been derived from

sales around July last year.It appears homeowners in the leafy sub-

urbs of the City are in disagreement withthe recent valuation of their properties.Mayoral Committee member for Finance

Ian Neilson says 2496 objections had beenemailed, 1005 lodged at theCapeTownCivicCentre, followedby 977, 588, 571, 558, and 515at the Alphen Centre, Somerset West, FishHoek, Plumstead and the Strand offices re-spectively.The remainder were from the other 13

venues spread across the city.The main reason objectors give are that

the values placed on their properties are toohigh. The next major item being objected iswrong physical address against properties,Neilson says.Valuation expert Jerry Margolius says

theComputerAssistedMethodofValuation(CAMA) used by the City has its downfalls.The method is used for the majority of

properties except specialised buildings.“The system is practiced worldwide. To

do individual valuations is too expensive,”Margolius explains.However, this method works well only in

areas where there is uniformity.The process works well in theWest Coast

and Cape Flats areas, Margolius says.However, in the areas which are located

along the “Table Mountain Chain” – beingyour Southern Suburbs and Atlantic Sea-board properties inGreen Point and CampsBay, it does not come without its challeng-es, he says.“There are many different location fac-

tors which affect value. For example in aCAMA process, you may find property im-mediately below High Level Road, SeaPoint, beinghighvaluedbecausepropertiesaboveHighLevel Road are being used to ob-tain the value.“The same will happen with sea-facing

buildings on Beach Road compared to prop-erties belowMainRoad. This all depends onthe knowledge of the computer programmewhich is preparing the statistical model toaddress these issues,” he explains.However, Margolius says property own-

ers and tenantsmust check their valuationsand not use the CAMA system to attack thevaluation. “They need to assess the valua-tion themselves as at 1 July 2012.”Property owners who are unhappy with

the new valuation of their home have untilthe end of this month to appeal the estimat-ed property price. The rates and taxes willbe payable on the new property price esti-mations as from Monday 1 July.Unhappiness with the amount of rates

levied does not constitute an objection.“Objections submitted against a per-

ceived incorrect valuationmust be substan-tiated. Comparing the valuation to neigh-bouring valuations does not imply that thevaluation is wrong. Objections submittedagainst incorrect administrative informa-tion will immediately be referred to the rel-evant departments for investigation andcorrection,” Neilson explains.

IF AT first you don’t succeed, dangle a carrot.The incentive of a bite at R30m by the Western Cape

Education Department to schools for good performancein literacy and numeracy may bear some fruit.The funds from the 2013/2014 departmental budget are

offered as reward for schools performingwell in these cat-egories, which have been in decline at some schools.Research has found children simply don’t read or, if

they do, many don’t comprehend the content.The problem has likely been exacerbated by the advent

of social media and texting.On the numbers front, the school curriculum has intro-

duced Maths Literacy as a subject option for those whocannot do pure maths.While the traditional school system has an expectation

to conform, the reality is not everyone is mathematicallyinclined.ButMathsLiteracy does not count for entry to universi-

ty. One has to question the value of outcomes-based edu-cation versus the previous one of rote learning.Arguably, both have benefits.Speaking of the state of education, University of the

Free State rector Professor Jonathan Jansen says it is an“absolute disgrace that you can pass matric with a markof 30%”.Even with an education system that at the same time

fails and flourishes, South African professionals areheadhunted by foreign companies.The cream of this country’s teachers, doctors, nurses

and therapists are earning foreign currency elsewhere.Others are in the process of shaping up their CVs for Du-bai, Bahrain, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Austral-ia. The R30m will go towards increasing the number andquality of passes in schools which attain “excellent” re-sults in provincial tests or show significant improvementin results.With an election year looming, it is hoped this cash

boost will benefit the children – our country’s future –and not tick off a point in favour of politicking.

Salute to officers for job well doneAS A citizen of the country (and) living inPlumstead, I would like to applaud and sa-lute the police for an outstanding job in ar-resting a suspect for a household burglaryin Plumstead on Tuesday 12 March.The suspect was arrested in Town Centre,

Mitchell’s Plain by very competent and effi-cientmembers of the police force – ReservistConstable Rushin and his partner ReservistConstable Stemmet.These police officers confronted the suspi-

cious suspect (who was) carrying a brownladies’ sling bag filled with jewellery. Theypersisted in investigating (the matter) andthe contents of the bag.Following a lengthy search and struggle

with the suspect, they managed to trackdownmy details on a Woolworths receipt inthe bag. They contacted me to report the re-covery and confirm whether these posses-sions belonged to me.It did, as I had received a call frommyhus-

band who notified me of the burglary a half-an-hour prior to the phone call (from the po-lice officers). I was not yet even home whenthe goods were recovered!I was truly astounded by the swift and effi-

cient service of these police officers, who re-ally went the extra mile for a fellow citizen.

The suspect was taken to the Mitchell’sPlain Police Station, where he was arrestedon charges of possession of stolen goods.The suspect was transferred to the Diep

River Police Station, where we had issueda statement. Warrant Officer Steven Lewiswas also impressively efficient and came tothe scene the following morning.He arranged for fingerprints to be taken

that day.He also managed then to recover my most

precious and valuable item, still in posses-sion of the suspect two days later, and re-turned it to me!My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to

these outstanding police officers, who reallycare for their fellow citizens and make a dif-ference in the community and the lives of or-dinary people.This experience has most certainly

changedmy previous negative perception ofthe police to a very positive one. I must ac-knowledge my renewed faith in the policebecause of the actions of these fine police of-ficers at Diep River and the impeccable re-servists in Mitchell’s Plain.I salute you for a job well done. God bless

you.Muhsin and Firzana Parker, Plumstead

Put out bin only on collection dayIN RESPONSE to the letter “Recycling cancurb crime” (People’s Post, 19 March), Iwould just like to say that I have also experi-enced a connection between rummagingthrough bins and petty crime. We camehomeonce to find all the rubbish stolen fromour bin. That night our house numberswerestolen. Whether the two events are connect-ed, I don’t know, but ever since thenwe havebeen keeping our bin behind the housewhere no one else can get to it.

I find that most of our neighbours keeptheir bins out of sight, too, and this greatlyreduces the number of strangers prowlingaround in our street.We only put out our bin on the morning

of – and not the night before – refuse collec-tion day. I agree that recycling is a goodthing, but I’m sure stashing your bin awayis another way to curb potential crime con-nected to bin-rummaging.Marieta McGrath, Heathfield

Thrilled that flower seller stays onI RECEIVEDmyweekly copyofPeople’s Postyesterday and was thrilled to see the re-sponse from the query I emailed earlier thismonth (“Fast food outlet for Plumstead”, 19March). Thank you so much for finding outwhat’s happening there. It’s good to hearthat Sadia will be allowed to remain there

selling her flowers – she’s my preferred sup-plier when I’m after some sunflowers.I had no idea that the corner has a history

with both Sadia’s mother and grandmotheralso having sold flowers there.Keep up the great work!At peace Plumstead resident, Email

Victoria Hospital:lifts need upgradeI AM so pleased to read that there are peoplewho still care (“Cash injection for ward”,People’s Post, 12March).Withall due respectto the upgrade – and please, I don’t expectthe family to take on the world – but a hospi-tal’s lifts that are not in working conditionis ridiculous.Lifts are out of order some days and pa-

tients have to be carried up two flight ofstairs by porters.What happens if the porterdrops the patient by accident?Well done to the Ackerman Family Foun-

dation. I’m sure you will be blessed inmanyways.Keep up the good work!Concerned citizen, EmailSiyabonga Mahomba, spokesperson forthe provincial health department, re-sponds: It is with great relief to announcethat Victoria Hospital, in addition to the up-grade of the Paediatric Ward, is currentlyundergoing a refurbishment of lifts.The lifts generators failed and had to be

removed by the service provider, Otis,hence the unfortunate circumstances men-tioned by the client.We have been assured all possible efforts

are being made to replace the generator mo-tors of the lifts as soon as possible. We havealso sought assistance from the PublicWorks (department) as we are experiencingdifficulties in admitting patients to the sec-ond floor.Additional staff havebeenappointed to as-

sist with the moving around of patients. Weare also making use of a special evacuationchair to admit patients to themedicalwards.We wish to apologise to all our clients for

the inconvenience.

FOUR DECADES: STILL GOING STRONG

Crooners headedfor Cape TownGARY VAN DYK

ARE you ready for some cool old-schoolcrooning?

For the past 40 year The Whispershave been making their musical magic andthey’re still going strongwith a visit to theseshores on Saturday 1 June.

His People Centre in Parow will be thevenue where they will be performing withtheir 10-piece band for this once-in-a-life-time performance.

When you take their talent into considera-tion its not hard to realise they remain oneof only a fewold-school groups that canboastof having over four decades in the industrywith a worldwide fan base, maintainingtheir vocal dominance and original mem-bers. They come from an era when your rawtalentwas enough to takeyou to the topwith-out any fancy music videos and gimmicks,but they had a style all their own, and it osall still evident in their performances today.

With a string of hits, a Cape Town favour-ite is still Love is Where You Find It.

Event organiser Calvin Peters says thisevent been an idea of his for some time andit was finally coming together.

“As a DJ for various functions I’ve seenwhat happens when I play The Whispers,”he says.

“People’s eyes just light up. For many ittakes them back to their care-free youth andI’ve always wondered what it would be liketo see them in the flesh.”

For Peters it came as no surprise that thegroup is still packing out venues worldwide.

“I amencouraging people to book early be-cause we don’t want their fans to be disap-pointed.”

TheWhispers formed in 1964 inWatts, Cal-ifornia. The original members includedtwin brothers Wallace “Scotty” and WalterScott, along with Gordy Harmon, MarcusHutson and Nicholas Caldwell.

AfterHarmonwas injured inadrunkdriv-ing accident in 1973, he was replaced byformer Friends of Distinction memberLeaveil Degree.

The group scored many hits on the R&Band Billboard Hot 100 charts throughout the1970s and 1980s, and they hit number one onthe Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1980 withAnd the Beat Goes On.

In 1987, they enjoyed a brief tenure in theTop 40 when Rock Steady became their firstTop 10 success on the Hot 100, reachingnumber seven, while also capturing the topspot on the R&B chart.

They later established their own produc-tion company, Satin Tie Productions,throughwhich they released their independ-ent 2006 album For Your Ears Only.

Arguably the most celebrated R&B bal-ladeers of their generation, The Whispersstill makewomen swoonwith their silky yetforceful tenors of twins Walter and Scotty.

They have taken Las Vegas by storm, sell-ing out in various casinos and hotels andcontinue to perform to sell-out crowds allover the world while their popularity con-tinues to grow among youth whose parents“raised” them on the Whispers’ music.

Booking has opened at Computicket.

Hats off toball legendsLIAM MOSES

SOME of the province’s greatest base-ball and softball players are set to re-ceive recognition for their service to

the game.This after the Western Cape Hall of

Fame for Baseball and Softball Legendswas founded by a group of current andformer players in January.The formation of the Hall was an-

nounced at the Baseball South Africa jun-ior inter-regional tournament at ChuckerRoad Sports Complex on Friday evening.Carolyn Inglis, secretary of Kenfac

Phillies Softball Club, says the purpose ofthe Hall is to “honour, recognise and ac-knowledge the greatest and softball leg-ends”.“I think it’s important because we have

very little record to show and acknowl-edge and the excellent performances andservice of former players, administratorsand coaches prior to unification,” Inglissays.“I think it is something to work to-

wards. This recognition is for legends. Itis for the greatest players and administra-tors. When we (currently) give recogni-tion it is just for now – like a player of theyear award. But a legend is the best youcan find. You must have been the best.”Inglis says the idea for the Hall of Fame

was first discussed at social gatherings ofsoftball players. It has since been formal-ised, with the election of a committee andthe organisation being accepted as an af-filiate of the Western Province Softball

Federation and Baseball AssociationWestern Province.The Hall of Fame are yet to select play-

ers to be inducted, but Inglis says thiswillhappenonce a sub-committee is constitut-ed.“We are going to induct the legends

over different eras and phases. The firstphase (will be) players who are 70-years-old and older, then in 2014 we are goingto look at those (aged) 60 years and older,and (we’ll) continue that (way),” says Ing-lis.“There is one criteria – youhave to aged

50 years or older. We may be looking atplayers who served (the sport) for morethan 10 years orwho (was selected for the)provincial (team) or played at the highestlevel, in terms of the league structures.”The first batch of inductees will be an-

nounced at a ceremony planned for Octo-ber. Once the legends have been inductedinto the hall, their pictures and plaqueswill be placed at a “neutral” venue, whichis yet to be confirmed.Inglis says the organisation hopes to

turn the venue into a small museum,where newspaper clippings and othermemorabilia will also be displayed.The Hall of Fame Committee will be at

an information kiosk at the Old SchoolFestival at Athlone Athletics BaseballClub from Saturday 27 to Monday 29April. Anyone who has baseball memora-bilia to donate to the Hall can attend theFestival and visit the kiosk.V For any further information phone Inglis on083 286 7199.

Pace and guile outclasses VillagerLIAM MOSES

CLAREMONT club Villager RFC openedtheir league account with a defeat toHands andHeart at Brookside on Satur-

day.Villager were relegated to Super League

B last season after finishing stone-last in theSuper League A, the top flight of club rugbyin Cape Town.The club, South Africa’s second oldest af-

ter Hamiltons, were expected to win the en-counter, but three sublime tries saw the visi-tors win 26-16.Villager opened the scoring throughapen-

alty in the fourth minute, but outside centrePietWilmans’ kickwould be the home sides’last points of the first half.Hearts went into the game with the inten-

tion to spread the ball and keep the heavierand larger Villagers pack on the move.The tactic eventually started to bear fruit

after 20 minutes when they raced to a com-manding lead, thanks to an 11-point haul injust four minutes.FlyhalfTrevorBooysen levelled the scores

in the 22nd minute and then followed upwith a try in the 23rd, after his side brokefrom their own 22m area. Booysen missedthe subsequent conversion attempt, butwould redeem himself after only a few min-utes.Villager were struggling to live with the

pace and guile of the Hearts backs and werekept on the back foot by the visitors’ off-load-ing and quick recycling.Booysen again took centre-stage when he

helped set up Vivian Fredericks for his

team’s second touchdown in the 26thminute. He, however, again failed to add theextra points.Villager looked a renewed side when they

returned from the half-time break and nar-rowed the deficit to just one point, after a tryfrom fullback Dylan Barkas and a conver-sion from Wilmans.The sides then traded penalties, with in-

side centre Roan Groenewald goaling kicksin the 18th and 32nd minutes, and Booysenresponding with a drop goal in the 24th anda penalty in the 35th.The game was eventually put to bed in the

final minute when Hearts winger Christo-pher van der Heever forced his way over inthe final minute and Booysen converted.

. Meanwhile, Villager’s rivals and south-ern suburbs neighbours, False Bay RFC,

fared better in their season opener againstSuper League B newcomers Hamlets on Sat-urday.The Constantia side scored 11 tries and

conceded just one to trounce their opposi-tion 76-11 at Phillip Herbstein.Themammoth victory has seenBay usurp

the top spot on the table, as they go in searchof a top two finish and promotion back to Su-per League A.

. Primrose also got their season off to apromising start, beating Brackenfell RFC20-3 in Kenilworth to finish the weekend inthird on the table.

. SK Walmers edged out Belhar 17-15 inone of only two games in Super League Athis weekend.The victory leaves them second on the ta-

ble.
