KOMMETJIE

Spotlight on stationMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

An attempted stabbing in Kommetjiehas led to a complaint about OceanView police station.

KomWatch has sent a letter to the provin-cial government requesting an investiga-tion into the station and its alleged lack ofservices.According to a report sent to KomWatch

chairperson Alastair Mackie a memberspotted a suspicious vehicle in Surf Way atabout 05:50 and contacted the police, butwere told officers could not respond.The KomWatch member then drove to the

station and asked officers to identify wheth-er the car was involved in a crime. Officersconfirmed the vehicle had been stolen dur-ing an armed hijacking in Vredehoek twodays earlier.An occupant of the samevehiclewould lat-

er be involved in an attemted stabbing in the

area.According to a report from Cape Town

Central police the vehicle, a Gold Volkswag-en Passat, had been taken from its owner inLudlow Road, Vredehoek on Tuesday 31March.Police spokesperson Captain Ezra

October says the owner had been closing hisgate when he was ap-proached by two un-known men. One ofthem held the ownerup at gunpoint andtook the car.Following the

KomWatch mem-ber’s visit to theOcean View policestation, themember drove toKommetjie andsawapolice vehicle leaving the area, accord-ing to the KomWatch report.Shortly after 06:00 the occupants of the sto-

len vehicle approached a male resident in

Arum Avenue who was packing his traileras he prepared to go on holiday.“The resident came out to find three sus-

pects onhis property and a fight ensued. Thedriver of the vehicle got out and attemptedto stab the resident with a screwdriver. Thisscrewdriver was left in the road.“The KomWatch member chased after the

vehicle leavingKommetjie, drivingpast Ocean View po-lice who still had notresponded,” the re-port reads.The police alleged-

ly responded at06:45.Mackie says

OceanView police station is responsible notonly for Kommetjie but also Masiphumeleleand Ocean View.“At best, there are twovehicles on duty for

80 000 people. If the patrol vehicle is not

busy, then the response is very good. Thishappens rarely.“Some of the individuals [at the station]

are very keen to assist, but they just don’thave the manpower and we have been ad-vised by the station commander that thiswill not change as the crime stats are toolow,” he adds.Station commander Lieutenant-Colonel

Jakobus Augus says no case was opened re-garding this incident.In his letter to governmentMackie writes:

“Please attend to this as amatter of urgency.Wedonot have a police service of anynaturein Ocean View police station.”Augus, however, says police do respond to

incidents in Kommetjie which are receivedby radio or telephone.Asked to respond to claims that police

were unwilling to assist with this case, Au-gus says: “That is a general comment.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

At best, there are two vehicles onduty for 80 000 people. If the patrol

vehicle is not busy, then the response is very good. This happens

rarely.

CorrectionIn last week’s edition of People’s Post we in-correctly stated the proposal for the demar-cation of animal zones in False Bay (“Pooch-es on beaches”, 7 April) barred dogs fromLong Beach in Simon’s Town.The report tabled at the South Peninsula

subcouncil proposes no dogs and horses be

allowed on the area in front of the parkinglot. However, from the edge of the parkinglot to the end of the beach, it proposes dogsbe allowed to run free and no horses be al-lowed. BetweenSunriseBeach andZonwabedogs will be allowed to run free at all times.People’s Post apologises for the error.

LAW

Gun ownersin firing lineNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Amendments to the Firearms Con-trol Act may bring harsher senten-ces for criminals and new tracking

systems, but gun owners believe theyare being treated unfairly.

The amendment bill proposes a mini-mum sentence for crimes committedwith a firearm as well as a new trackingsystem for guns by rolling out the use ofmicrodots and ballistic sampling.

Gun Free South Africa spokespersonClaire Taylor believes the new bill willaddress the use and misuse of guns bythe police.

The amendments propose increasedoversight and responsibility by policecommand structures for theuse andmis-use of firearms by officers. They alsospell out the duties of designated fire-arms officers, who arespecifically appointedpolice officers at stationlevel responsible formanaging firearms.

Ballistic samplingand microdots will beused on all guns held byofficial institutions, in-cluding the police.

John Welch, spokes-person of the South African Gunowners’Association, says the new tracking sys-tem is impractical and has “huge finan-cial and security implications”.

“We are currently in discussions withexperts in this technologyand,unlessweare ensured that these processes willachieve the intended objective, we shalloppose them. We are of the view thatthese additional security measures onlyneed to apply to the police and otherstate departments since more firearmsare probably lost or stolen from these of-ficials than from private license hold-ers,” he says.

Quarterly reports will also be submit-ted to the minister of police on the lossand theft of police weapons.

The amendments will go a long way inpreventing the leak of firearms from thelegal to the illegal pool, says Taylor.

“The police annual reports show thatalmost 350 000 firearmswere reported aslost or stolen by civilians and police be-tween 1994 and 2014. This is an averageof 17 500 guns each year or 48 guns everyday over the past 20 years,” she says.

Since the Firearms Control Act wasimplemented, gun deaths in the country

have steadily declined, Taylor believes.“Nevertheless, data shows that 18 peo-

ple are shot and killed every day. While18 a day is veryhigh, indications are thatgun deaths and injuries have been in-creasing since 2011; we believe this is be-causeof poor implementationof theact,”she says.

The bill will also see tighter controlsfor gun owners.

The amendments will shift more re-sponsibility to gun owners to demon-strate their “fit and proper” status andtohave to continue to do sowhile owninga gun.

“The current Firearms Control Act al-ready includes this shift, whereas undertheprevious gun law– theArmsandAm-munition Act, the state was required toprove the personwas not fit. This princi-ple is deepened and widened in theamendment,” Taylor explains.

Taylor adds that be-tween 2001 and 2014, eighttimes as many guns werelost by or stolen from ci-vilians than police offi-cers.

“The most recent fig-ures show that in 2013/14civilians reported theloss or theft of 18 guns perday and police two guns a

day,” she says.Welch objects to the “heavy burden on

law-abiding firearmowners” the amend-ments create.

“Some firearm owners might find thenew provisions impractical andfinancially too cumbersome and then de-cide to rather not comply, hence becom-ing criminal. This must not happen,” hesays.

The association promotes the lawful,safe and responsible possession and useof firearms by peoplewho are competentto possess them, Welch says.

“We support all reasonable measuresto rid society of crime and tomake socie-ty a safer place for all to live in and toenjoy their freedom, rights and privileg-es. Freedom, however, comes at a priceand often one needs tomeasure the priceof freedom against safety,” he says.

The organisation believes that peoplemust be free to decide what hobbies orsport to participate in, Welch says.

“This includes the right to choosewhether or not theywish to lawfully pos-sess firearms, provided they live ahealthy lifestyle and do not do crime,”he says.

An average of 17 500guns a year – or 48guns a day – were

reported stolen overthe past 20 years

MUIZENBERG

Vagrants step over the lineMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Evidence that vagrants are taking shel-ter along the railway line between FalseBay and Muizenberg train stations has

sparked concern.Chevone Petersen, manager of the Muiz-

enberg Improvement District (MID),explains vagrancy is an ongoing issue.

She explains but due the organisation’shomeless cleaning project, it is well ac-quaintedwith thosewho live inMuizenberg.

“But there have been some new faces andpeople we do not know moving into the area.They are predominantly in the park, alongthe railway line and at the vlei,” she says.

In February, Petersen wrote a letter toMetrorail outlining MID’s concerns, includ-ing an increase in crime.

She explains there are a number ofvagrants living on the railway line near Mil-ner and Church roads under the overgrowthof scrubs and trees on the railway line.

“We’ve seen an increase in attemptedbreak-ins in thebuildings adjacent to this ar-ea. This is a big concern. The vagrants areliving on [land owned by] the Passenger RailAgency of South Africa (Prasa), creating anideal opportunity for a quick exit when acrime is committed. There is suspicion of il-legal drug-dealing takingplace in this vicini-ty.”

MID chairperson Tony Smith says whilethey received no response, the City of CapeTown’s law enforcement officers carried outan operation on Thursday 2 April where sev-eral people and structures were removed.

Ward councillor Dave D’Alton confirmsthe operation andagrees the area around therailway is a problem. “The City does nothave jurisdiction to remove people fromrailway lines, but it is a problem and therehave been complaints,” he says.

During the operation, two shelters were

demolished and removed from the vlei andtwo men and one woman were removed.

In Muizenberg Park, three shelters weredemolished and six people removed. Sixpeople were removed from Atlantic Road.

Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott saysvagrancy remains a thorny and complexsocial issue.

“All over the city, under highway bridg-es and in trees (near our offices), the home-less seek shelter. We concede that the issueof vagrancy is raised regularly andwehaveindicated to the MID that our resources todeal with it remains constrained,” shesays.

Scott further says Metrorail’s protectionservices regularly remove vagrants fromrailway property.

“Railway fencing primarily demarcatesrailway boundaries; a fence would not de-ter wilful entry onto the rail reserve by per-sons with intent. Prasa is aware of struc-tures erected from time to time on variouspieces of land and is concerned about thisas informal settlers are repeatedly clearedfrom these sites in collaboration with theCity,” she explains.

Scott says vacant properties owned byPrasa have been documented and effortsare made to either lease or develop these,depending on each property’s zoning andland use.

D’Alton says homelessness is a problemthroughout the city and until a long-termsolution is found the only recourse he hasis to apply City bylaws.

“While one has to be sympathetic to theirplight most have chosen to live on thestreets as they earn money from handouts.Some are criminals and we have had an at-tack in Muizenberg Park by these peopleand also outside George Whitfield College.Muizenberg Park, which is a public openspace, cannot be used by the public becauseof this problem,” he adds.

WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTION:SIMON’S TOWN AND GLENCAIRNTuesday 21 April 2015

The City of Cape Town’sWater and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressure teston the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Simon’s Town on Tuesday 21 April 2015.

This process will result in the disruption of the water supply to Simon’s Town and Glencairnfrom 22:00 until 04:00 the following morning.

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimaldisruption to the water supply in the affected areas.

The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smallerand much more manageable sections of the large network for purposes of maintenanceand upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and the subsequent water losses.

Residents are advised to store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during thisperiod.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

OCEAN VIEW

Spray park is openMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The snags have been dealt with and theOcean View spray is open for use.The R3.5m park came under scruti-

ny at the last South Peninsula subcouncilmeeting as councillors questioned whetherthe snags had been sorted and the contractsigned off.At the time subcouncil chairperson Felic-

ity Purchase explained she was informedthere were cracks and wood and nailsexposed.Proportional councillor Patricia Francke

requested a site meet with the contractorand said should any works be incompletethe contractor would have to return andrectify them.Recently Belinda Walker, City of Cape

Town mayoral committee member for com-munity services and special projects, visit-ed the park which she said had been opera-tional since March.She said there was extensive testing to

ensure that the water pressure and the fil-tration system were operating optimallybefore the spray park could be opened.Asked whether the problems mentioned

at the meeting were resolved, Walker says:“The electricity and the filtration systemare both in full working order. The surfaceis made of the same material as the otherspray parks. The snags will be completed asper the contract and do not impact on theuse of the facility”.Walker says spray parks are ideal for safe

and water-wise recreation.“Since there is no standing water, there

is practically no risk of drowning.”There is however a risk associated with

any form of active recreation where chil-

dren are running and playing.“A section of this spray park has a series

of more gentle ground sprays and has beenspecifically designed foryounger children.”She says adult supervision is important

to ensure reckless play is prevented.“Low-wall seating areas have been pro-

vided within the spray park to provide acomfortable space for parents and guardi-ans to sit and socialise whilst their childrenplay. An outdoor gym is also being providednearby to encourage whole families to visitand enjoy this recreational space together.It is hoped that these provisions willincrease the number of adults in this spaceand provide greater surveillance over thespray park.”Asked why the City opted to build spray

parks as opposed to pools, Walker says:“Spray parks are not provided instead of aswimmingpool, as these are twovery differ-ent kinds of facilities which do not substi-tute for one another. The City will continueto provide and maintain municipal swim-ming pools. Spray parks are intended to bea new and innovative kind of public space,which encourage imaginative, active play.”Walker explains a play leader has been

tasked with turning the spray park on andoff as required.Along with staff from the City’s sports,

recreation and amenities department, thispersonhas received special training onhowto manage the park.Park entry is free and it will be open

between 10:00 and 17:00.“Unlike municipal pools, spray parks are

not bound in their operations by the availa-bility of lifeguards so we are able to keepthemoperational beyond the seasonal datesif there is a demand for this from the com-munity,” Walker adds.

Youth find a way outMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It took 10 days and 30 hours for an OceanView group to turn their lives around.With the odds stacked against them 12

graduates of a life skills programme run byEarl Mentor have tackled tik addiction,gangsterism, alcohol abuse and crime. Nowthey are preparing to help other youths byaddressing the social ills they have them-selves worked to overcome.The programme was a partnership be-

tween the Desmond Tutu HIV FoundationYouth Centre, Dale Hendricks who worksfor the City of Cape Town sports and recrea-tion department, Fruitnation and EuodiaSamson of Fusion Worx. It identified youthat risk in the mountainside community.In an interview with some of those in the

group, who have requested their names notbe used, the youngsters reveal peer pres-sure as themain reason for their previouslybad behaviour.Each graduate tells a heart-wrenching

story about how their environment impact-ed their young lives.However, with the programme they have

received guidance, support and hope for abrighter future.First up is a teenage boy who explains he

dropped out of school and was on a down-ward spiral.“I left in Grade 9. My friends were bunk-

ing school and I did it with them. I regretnot finishing and for a long time I thoughtthere was nothing I could do with my life.”The 18-year-old admits to running with

gangs and selling drugs but says he battledwith his conscious after witnessing theeffects on his community.“I saw the effect it was having but I also

didn’t know what to do. This programmeshowed me how to find direction. I learntI am passionate about the youth and wantto spend my life helping them find direc-tion.”Another graduate (20) speaks of how the

programme helped her to remain positive.The young woman tells she started using

tik with her friends while in matric. Sheused the drug for two years before decidingto quit.“I just stayed inside my house and stayed

away from my old friends. They are stillusing and I only started because I wantedto fit in. This programme has helped meunderstand that I need to stand out and Ineed to stay positive.”Feeling equipped to make a change in

their community, the group is motivated tohelp others.Mentor says the graduates will now train

in Ocean View. We look at ways they candevelop their skills and in the [next] levelwe look at entrepreneurship and skillsdevelopment to assist them in becomingindependent,” he says.Mentor explains many graduates are in

COLUMN: TAMING THE TEENAGER

Step forward, not back, to improveGAVIN FISH Much was made of the sins of the educa-

tors, but so too of their own. The conversa-tion settled downas individuals spoke closerand closer to the bone.

One pupil’s powerful insight turned thetone of the discussion: “I don’t think we un-derstand the power we have to disrupt, northe effect that it has.”

We agreed that no future employer wouldever be interested in the reason why theireducator was to blame for the horrific markthey received in this or that subject. Fur-thermore, that the better their final marks

were, the broader the range of opportunitiesawaiting them later.

Learning is negatively affected in an un-happy environment and we know that welearn best when we are enjoying both thework and the class.

Both parties are admitting that the dy-namic is not working, neither are happywith that fact. What to do?

I suggested that they take the initiative.That it was not a case of who is more in theright or in the wrong.

Where a relationship is unsettled, address

it. Even, or especially, when you are feelingaggrieved. Decide what you need to do to im-prove things. Don’t make your approach de-pendant on what the “other” is or isn’t pre-pared to do.

Wehave to growpast a “if hewon’t do this,then I won’t do that” mind-set. Yes, I will bespeaking with the educators as well.

Iwaspassedadelicious cartoon thismorn-ing. Twomen sitting at one end of a boat thatis clearly sinking remark: “Isn’t it fortunatethat the hole isn’t at our end of the boat.”

Say no more!

I gate-crashed a matric lesson. The educatorgraciously allowedmy intrusion. The pupilswere more suspicious.

I told them of a conversation I had beena part of the previous day; that they were“not a nice class to teach”.

I was troubled by that. They are matricsafter all. I asked them, why? Was it true?

Defences rose rapidly, acknowledgementsof guilt had rapid-fire “yes, but” accompani-ments.

OCEAN VIEW

Care centre opens for whole familyteers. The layout has been designed by an ar-chitect to ensure the containers are locatedin the best place for service delivery.

The new centre will also accommodate alocal school and four containers have beenallocated to it.

Earlier this year Johann Kikillus estab-lished the school to assist children at riskand those who cannot afford the fees ofcrèches in Ocean View.

For the school, the centre would also havean Astroturf field and play equipment.

In addition, a food garden is planned forthe site.

At the entrance of the centre will be a cof-fee shop. Weddepohl said they hoped thiswould become a place where residents need-ing help could come and find assistance ina safe and relaxed atmosphere.

“What often happens is people do notknowwhere to come for help.With the coffeeshop we hope to create a safe and inviting

space where someone in need can come andtalk to someone,” she says.

With a range of social services in closeproximity,Weddepohl said peoplewouldnothave to go far.

Commenting on the services, Weddepohlsaid Ocean View was better off than somecommunities on the Cape Flats, but therewas a need to restore the social fabric of themountainside community.

For this reason, while the centre will offera variety of services, they will not deal onlywith individuals.

“Let’s say someone comes in becausethere is a problem with the children. Thesesocial problems do not happen in isolationand are often a symptom of what is happen-ing in the family. Our plan is to look at thewhole situation and assist the whole fami-ly,” she says.

Due to the location of the centre, Wedde-pohl says they are investigating technologi-

cally savvy ways of securing the premises.They would also like to use solar power tomeet its energy needs.V If you would like to assist the centre, email [email protected].

The ladies team of the OldMutual Crick-et Club celebrates the end of the seasonwith two trophies in the bag.

Led byWestern Province opening bat andoff break bowler Carolyn Esterhuizen theteam won both the WP Women’s PremierLeague 50 over competition and T20 cup.The teammanaged this feat despite losingto the runners-up in the round robin stagesof both competitions.

50 over finalOne of these runners-up was five times 50over champion Bellville Ladies, who boastsa number of provincial players.Old Mutual scored an impressive 204/7 inthe 50 over final against Bellville Ladies,with solid contributions by Esterhuizen (54)and young prodigy Laura Wolfaardt (60).Saarah Smith also contributed a useful 28.Chasing 205 to win, Bellville Ladiesshowed that spin-bowling is its Achilles heelas bowlers Esterhuizen (1 for 29 in 8 overs)and Insaaf Ismail (4 for 56 in 9 overs) con-tained them.Bellville Ladies could only reach 154 all

out from 39 overs. Alexis le Breton, WP cap-tain, was the only resistance and ended on62.

T20 finalOld Mutual Ladies faced the UWC Ladies inthe T20 day/night final at Sahara Park New-lands. UWC topped the T20 round robin logfor the season. Having lost twice to the sea-son’s log leaders in the round robinmatches,Old Mutual went into the final as the under-dogs.Sending UWC in to bat allowed the OldMutual quick bowlers to blow UWC out ofthe park. Wolfaardt (1 for 10 in 4 overs) andNadima Khan (1 for 10 in 4 overs) bowled ac-curately to set the trend, but it was 16-year-old Tala Ross who stamped her mark on thegame and ended with a career best of 5 for8 in 3.1 overs.OldMutual namedher its play-er of the match.UWC could only muster up 65 all out in 19overs which Old Mutual chased down with32 balls to spare. Esterhuizen achieved thetop score with 20 and Saarah Smith scored16.
