A lack of security has made the OceanView Cemetery an easy target for van-dals.

Municipal staff arrived at work on Mon-day 3 February to find their offices ran-sacked and the ceiling damaged.Supervisor Deon Hendricks says staff

made the grim discovery just after 07:00.He explains the thieves gained entry by re-

moving the burglar bars from the toilets andclimbing through a window.“Once inside they made a hole in the roof

to access themain building and removed thegeyser and copper pipes,” he says.Just afternoon,workmencouldbe seen re-

pairing the ceiling and burglar bars.ButHendricks says even the graves are no

longer sacred, as vandals kick over tomb-stones and break wooden crosses.“It’s a disgrace. These people have no re-

spect,” he says.Despite repairs, Hendricks says, vandals

continually break the fence to gain entry onSundays.He claims drug users gather at the ceme-

tery and throw parties and damage graves.“When you get here on aMonday, you find

the wooden crosses have been broken andthe tombstones damaged,” he says.The break-in was reported to Ocean View

Police Station.Ocean View Civic Association (OVCA)

chairperson Oliver Castro labelled the inci-

dent as “disrespectful and disgraceful”.He said urgent interventionwasneeded as

rowdy vandals continue to disregard and de-stroy the cemetery.“Ocean View residents should regard

those grounds as sacred. Those are thegraves of our loved ones who once walkedthese streets,” he says.Castro says the association will be ad-

dressing the need for security with the Cityof Cape Town.“We can’t turn a blind eye. This must be

addressed. People who go to pay their re-spects are facedwith the grim reality of van-dalism and many spend hours looking afterthe graves of their relatives,” he says.Mayoral Committee member for Commu-

nity Services and Special Projects Belinda

Walker says the estimated cost of repairs tothe cemetery building is R7000.She says while staff have reported vandal-

ism of the grave sites, there have been noburglaries at the cemetery building in thelast sixmonths. Thebuilding is securedwithan alarm systemmonitored by LawEnforce-ment and the vibracrete fencing replacedwith concrete palisade fencing to preventtheft, Walker explainsShe adds it’s not practical to appoint secu-

rity guards to watch over graves due to thecemetery grounds being so vast.“The Ocean View Cemetery, like many

others, is isolated and vulnerable as a targetfor vandals and thieves,” Walker says.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

ORGAN DONATION: AIM TO INCREASE DONOR NUMBERS

Gift of life after deathCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

One person can save seven lives.South Africa is one of the coun-

trieswith the lowest organ donationrates in the world.Currently, 4 300 adults and children are

waiting for organ transplants across thecountry.But a lack of registered donors mean

the chance of enhancing or saving a po-tential recipient’s life is slim.Organ transplantation is the surgical

removal of an organ or tissue from a do-nor and placing it into a recipient.The beneficiaries could be people with

end stage solid kidney, heart, liver, pan-creas or lung disease or people receivingtissue donation in the form of bone, bonemarrow, corneas, skin or heart valves.Most donated organs are from people

who have died, referred to as a cadaverdonation, but living people also donatekidneys and tissue such as blood, stemcells and platelets.

New startOver 25 years ago, Sathanathan Samu-

els (67) was dependent on dialysis to keephim alive.His kidneys had shrunk to “the size of

marbles” due to uncontrolled blood pres-sure.

He waited for five months before histransplant was done.“This is much less than most people,

seeing as some of them could be on dialy-sis for years while waiting for an organ,”he says.Samuels was also lucky enough to

have a dialysis machine equipped at hishome. One condition of the loaned ma-chine was that he motivate people fromtheMuslimcommunity todonate their or-gans.The pensioner says doctors had tested

his immediate family for a kidneymatch,but none of them were compatible.Samuels received a kidney from an un-

knowndonor andhis transplantwas donein 1987.He says that he is ever grateful for hav-

ing been privileged enough to receive anorgan donation as he is now able to seehis six grandchildren grow up.

Saving livesProvincial health minister Theuns

Botha says patients waiting for organs re-quire on-going care while their health de-teriorates,whichplaces an increasedbur-den on the health services.“As a country, we need to aim for at

least 1% of the South African populationbeing registered as organ donors by theend of 2014 andwewill start to save lives,”he says.There are currently four hospitals in

the province which perform transplants:Christiaan Barnard, Tygerberg, GrooteSchuur and Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital.

Groote Schuur Hospital spokespersonAlaric Jacobs says the provincial healthdepartment has launched a targeted cam-paign to increase the number of potentialdonors.“There are different factors that is re-

sulting in the low organ donation rates inthe country,” he explains.Six strategies will be adopted by gov-

ernment to push the numbers up.The department will establish a single

organ donor database, support existingprogrammes, improve accessibility of in-formation, increase opportunities for or-gan donation at hospitals, address infor-mation gaps about organ donation andsupport families and clinicians.

Spreading awarenessOne person can donate one heart, two

lungs, one liver, two kidneys and one pan-creas, potentially saving seven lives, ex-plains Samantha Volschenk from the Or-gan Donor Foundation.A lack of awareness and information is

the reason for the low donation rate, shecontinues.“We are not government funded so our

resources are quite limited.We are forcedto rely heavily on volunteering networksto get our information out there,” shesays.Volschenk adds that the benefits of or-

gan donation is it doesn’t cost a cent andthat you can have it on good consciencethat you have helped to save a life.V For more information on how to become an organdonor visit http://www.odf.org.za/ or call0800 22 66 11.

NEW POLICY: HAVE YOUR SAY

Zoom-in on CCTV networksMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Neighbourhood watches and communi-ty police forums (CPFs) across CapeTown have 27 days to submit their

comments on the City of Cape Town’s draftpolicy on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)cameras.

The policy, which focuses on the installa-tion of privately owned cameras on Cityproperty, was released for public participa-tion last week.

It was first announced by Mayoral Com-mittee member for Safety and Security JPSmith during visits to neighbourhoodwatches and CPFs last year.

The extensive document outlines difficul-ties experienced by the City with camerasbeing installed without authorisation.

Its aim is to regulate all CCTV camerason City property and promote the use ofcameras to deter crime.

Organisations which have erected camer-as on City property or who wish to do so willnow have to make a formal application.

The policy will see the introduction of avetting committee, which will consist of the

Metro Police CCTV department managerand officials from other City departments,who will decide on the applications.

Organisations will have to make a formalapplication which includes getting approv-al from their CPF or neighbourhood watchas well as their police station commander.

The application also requires a motiva-tion letter, business plan, Global Position-ing System (GPS) coordinates, camera spec-ifications and control centre information.

The policy states once an application isreceived the vetting committee will consid-er it. If the application is complete and accu-rate, it will be sent to the relevant City de-partment for approval.

“If the City structure is not a viable op-tion, the applicant will have to consider an-other placement option, such as applyingfor a wayleave to install a pole on City prop-erty,” it reads.

Should an application be rejected the ap-plicant will be allowed to appeal the deci-sion made by the vetting committee.

Simon’s Town CPF chairperson Aliet Peltsays they support the City’s endeavours.They are waiting on a presentation fromSmith explaining the nuts and bolts of the

new policy.The precinct already has CCTV coverage,

but Pelt says a communications relay hasto be installed on the existing mast on El-sie’s Peak.

Johann Kikillus, chairperson of theOcean View CPF which covers Masiphume-lele, Kommetjie and Ocean View, says whilethere is no camera network currently inplace, there were discussions about it.

He says in a meeting with the CPF, Smithand ward councillors it was agreed that theinstallation of cameras at the main entranc-es and busy areas would be a “tremendoushelp”.

“To have these cameras linked up to a cen-tral room would be a bonus,” Kikillus adds.

As part of the policy all cameras currentlyinstalled on City property will have to beregistered by Sunday 30 November.

If a camera system is not registered, theCity will serve a notice on the owners. If nocontact is made with the City within 14days, a second notice will be served and thecamera will be switched off.V The deadline for comments on the new policy isTuesday 4 March.

NEW STOVES: SAFER OPTION

Pilot projectheats up MasiMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A pilot project to minimise fires inMasiphumelele is gainingmomentum.Lastweek residents living in thewet-

landswere introduced to the Protostar stovewhich prevents fires by absorbing liquidand extinguishes fires.Coordinator Michelle Young explains the

project was first conceptualised when shemet Willem van Rijswijck from Proto Ener-gy during a longboarding championship.“I flew to Port Elizabeth to see the model

that PrismPower had installed in theWalm-er township and we decided to proceed witha similar model in Cape Town,” she says.Together with Nelisa Jange-Dondolo, a

community worker in Masiphumelele, theyidentified families affected by the fires inlast year.Following the death of a family of four in

the first week of December, rumours that awoman who was cooking was responsiblefor the fire were rife in the settlement.The project, which commenced in Decem-

ber, has seen the distribution of more than35 stoves to those affected by the fire, Youngexplains.Last Friday a further 15 were handed out.The project is aimed at reducing shack

fires through the use of the Protostar stoveand the solar candles. “Paraffin stoves andcandles are often the cause of devastatingshack fires. The reason for the pilot is to cre-ate an awareness about the stove,” she says.The stove, which was designed andmanu-

factured in South Africa, is being rolled outin Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.The project in Masiphumelele is the first

in the Western Cape.The stove uses an alcohol-based liquid

that emits no odours and burns with a clearflame.The fuel tankcontains ceramicwool for fu-

el control and the tank’s designprevents fuelfrom pouring out in case the stove falls over.Uses are able to cook, braai, roast andbake

on the stove.Young says, unlike paraffin, the fuel used

is hygroscopic and absorbs water to extin-guish a fire.“The Protostar stove is made from stain-

less steel. It is reliable, robust, long-lastingand stable. It can last between five and 10years,” Young says.Jange-Dondolo says residents are keen to

use their new stoves as it makes everydaycooking safer.She says residents are wary about using

normal stoves following the devastationcaused by recent fires. “Those who have ithave been talking and word about the newstoves is spreading. People realise they needa safer option,” she says.The stove has been presented to officials

from the City of Cape Town’s Disaster RiskManagement team and coordinators arehoping for a positive outcome.Young explains the aim is to create a plat-

form for local entrepreneurs to serviceMasiphumelele and earn an income by pro-viding the stoves and fuel.V For more information visit www.proto-energy.co.za.

KALK BAY: FISHERMEN AT SEA ABOUT PERMITS

Hard times atthe harbourMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

While the fishing permit saga rageson, fishermen and hawkers at KalkBay say the entire harbour is start-

ing to feel the pinch.Fisherman Salie Fortune, whose permit

was denied, says activity at the harbourhasdwindled since the beginning of the year.

“If you look around you will see there isnothing happening. (There are) no fisher-man, no hawkers and no visitors,” Saliesays.

In January fishermen who had not re-ceived renewals were told to dock theirboats.

Following a public spat with the Depart-ment of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisher-ies (Daff), interim permits were given tothose who appealed the department’s deci-sion.

Fisherman Ismail Cozyn, who was grant-ed an interim permit, says he is gearing upfor his appeal.

He says more than 90% of the fishermanat Kalk Bay were forced to dock their boatswhen thedepartment failed toprovide themwith fishing rights.

“Things are bad. (Having) no permitmeans no fish; no fish means no income.People are struggling. Things are bad,” hesays.

Mark Jacobs, a hawker at the harbour,says in addition to the lack of permits,windy conditions have made it worse forfisherman and hawkers.

Sitting at his stand, looking the seven yel-lowtail on his table, Jacobs explains with

the lack of produce, the price of the fish hasincreased.

“This yellowtail would usually sell forR80, but because there is hardly any pro-duce we have to up our prices just to makedecent earnings,” he says.

Jacobs says the permit saga has affectedeveryone who relies on fishing for an in-come.

“These days hawkers don’t even come tothe harbour. They phone to hear if there isa boat out; if not they don’t come becausethere is nothing to sell,” he says.

Daff spokesperson Carol Moses says thedepartment is confident the process it un-dertook to allocate fishing rights is “fairand is legally defensible”.

She explains a total of 1566 line fish per-mit applications were received and 215granted.

Of these, 115 were allocated to currentright holder applicants.

“Applications which were properlylodged, not materially defective, werescored in terms of a set of balancing criteriaas set out in the general and sector-specificpolicies,” she says.

The criteria used to score and rank appli-cants included compliance, catch utilisa-tion, equity and historically disadvantagedindividuals, job creation and procurement,safety, working conditions and vessels.

Moses further explains the appeals proc-ess is currently underway and applicantsare encouraged to submit their applica-tions.

“The department will, therefore, not de-liberate on the appeal cases in public untilthe appeals process is complete,” she says.

BUSKERS: FURORE OVER PERMIT

New tune forperformersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

There is light at the end of the tunnelfor a young False Bay musician.BenjaminKer (13), a Bergvliet High

School pupil, is known for making sweetsoundswith his saxophone at Surfer’s Cor-ner in Muizenberg. On Saturday 25 Janu-ary he was stopped by police officers.His father, David, raised the alarm after

the young aspiring jazz musician was toldby officers he needed a permit.Confused by the amendments to the In-

formal Trading Bylaw, David questionedwhy his son was stopped.Benjamin says after playing at Surfer’s

Corner for a fewweeks, hewas gainingmo-mentumwith restaurant patrons and surf-ers. “I enjoy playing for people; it helps mepractice and gain confidence. I make somemoney doing it, but it’s not much and Imostly enjoy getting to meet new people,”he says.Despite patrons jumping to his defence,

officers insisted Benjamin get a permit be-fore playing.Last year the City of Cape Town an-

nounced its plans to amend the InformalTrading Bylaw to make provision forstreet performers.City director for Economic and Human

Development Thembinkosi Siganda ex-plains the amendments were released forpublic comment between November andDecember last year. Two public meetingsheld with affected parties.He says the Informal Trading Policy ca-

ters specifically for the trade of businessand goods while the City’s draft Arts andCulture Policy is for street performers.“This policy does not require a bylaw.

The Informal Trading Bylaw is merely aregulatory vehicle to cater for a street per-formance,” he says.Benjamin and other street performers,

under the Informal Trading Bylaw, are notrequired to apply for permits, Sigandasays. “It is the view of the City that issuinga permit would, at this stage, be over-regu-lation. There are a few buskers who per-form in public spaces at different times.Currently there is sufficient space andtime for buskers to perform, obviating theneed for a permit,” he explains.

Street performersarenowallowed tousepublic spaces and are only constrained bythe Streets, Public Places and Preventionof Noise Nuisance Bylaw.Siganda says the proposed amendment

to the Informal Trading Bylaw will allowartists tousepublic spacesMondays toSat-urdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

Sassa gets hi­techCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Social grant corruption and fraud is ex-pected to be reducedwith the introductionof a voice activation system.The South African Social Security

Agency (Sassa) startedwith the first phaseof the project’s roll-out last month, where-by selected beneficiaries were sent anSMS to register for re-registration.The second phase is to take place during

March and includes all other beneficiarieswho were not sent an SMS last month butare using their PINs to access their grants.“The Proof of Life Certification was in-

troduced to eradicate fraud in the systemto ensure grants are paid to the right peo-ple,” says Sassa acting communicationsmanager Kgomoco Diseko.The new technology functions the same

as the PIN and fingerprint verificationsystems, but will be more efficient toshorten long queues at pay points, he says.“Wewill start requiring beneficiaries to

call a number at the beginning of themonth and to follow the voice prompts inorder to verify their voices and do whatis called ‘life certification’ in the samewayfinger biometrics is done.”V To register for voice activation, call 0860 690 717.Alternatively call 082 1277 if you are using a starterpack that was issued during grant re-registration.This number is free and starter packs can be ob-tained from local Sassa offices.

It is not every day that ordinary Capetonians get to seethe long arm of the law in action.

The third floor of the offices which houses this newspa-per and two sister publications gave journalists a bird’seye view of a police helicopter landing in Durban Road,Bellville. This, together with a squad of police vehiclesparked at strategic points, asserted the presence of themen in blue.

This was no movie; the roads were not cordoned off foractors playing parts in a flick. These were real cops atwork, apprehending real thieves.

The police got their four men; cuffed unceremoniouslyand hauled into a patrol van. And kudos to them for thespeed with which they handled the situation. It was effec-tive and calm, with only traffic delays to gripe about –small potatoes for taking suspects out of circulation.

The next step is for the courts to mete out punishmentbefitting the crime.

How, then, should the courts punish a Bloemfontein fa-ther for allowing his 10-year-old son to drive? The manwas reportedly drinking a beer while sitting next to theboy. And there was a baby in the car.

He was fined R1000 for allowing a minor to drive with-out a licence and R750 because the car’s licence had ex-pired.

In a country with a consistently high road death tollthat makes a mockery of attempts to bring this figuredown, one has to question the actions of this father.

It is not an isolated incident; there are countless fathersout there enabling their underage sons in this rite of pas-sage as driving is still regarded as a man’s domain. Thisfather is just the one who got caught.

Women drivers also have their moments of questiona-ble driving habits.

No driving manual has instructions of how to applymake-up while driving.

Applying a bit of wisdom would not be amiss, failingwhich let’s hope the long arm of the law meets up withyou before you meet up with an accident.

Unhappy with dog’s treatmentOn Tuesday 21 January my dog was knockedover by a car along Kommetjie Road just be-fore the Ocean View robots.

The person never stopped. I took her toTears and called their emergency number.

They took their time and when two staffmembers finally got there they walked pastme as if I wasn’t there.

Another (woman) was there with me (dur-ing) my ordeal.

Then they took my dog, dumped her in ablack bag and literally tossed her into a roomat the back and demanded money from meright away to bury her.

I just lost my best friend and all they wor-ried about was money.

To make things worse they handled mybest friend with no respect and treated herlike she was just another street mutt.

She wasn’t one. She was the most loyal,loving friend anyone could ever ask for. Shewas the entire street’s dog; everyone lovedher. Is this how man’s best friend gets treat-ed after such a traumatic event?

When I called Tears to complain, the(woman) said she was sorry for what hap-pened and she would get the gentleman whotook my dog to apologise to me.

“Sorry” won’t fix things.I guess they don’t really turn tears of sad-

ness into tears of joy.CHANTEL VAN ZYL,EMAIL

Thank you to paramedics, policeOn behalf of my wife and father-in-law Iwould like to thank both CMR and the policefor their assistance and professionalism onSaturday 25 January.

My wife was driving with her parentsthrough Fish Hoek at 08:30 when my mother-in-law suffered a heart attack near Clovellycorner. My wife pulled over and adminis-tered CPR while my son phoned CMR.

They were on the scene within three min-utes and took over, doing all they could, butto no avail. She sadly passed away on scene.

The police were called and two constables

arrived, followed by Zane Olckers.The professionalism, sympathy and as-

sistance given by Zane gives one faith in ourpolice service.

To Greg and the team from CMR: a specialthanks for all you did to try and resuscitateher and for the assistance given after shehad passed on. Greg, your staying with mywife and organising all the necessary ar-rangements to have the scene cleared is alsomuch appreciated.KONRAD ERIKSEN,EMAIL

Comfortfor grievingparentsReading about the death of Eric Faul-mann (People’s Post, 16 January) re-minded me of an old poem I once read.I want to share it with his parents, aswell as all the other parents who havelost a child.To all Parents – Edgar Guest“I’ll lend you for a while a child of

mine,” He said.“For you to love the while he lives

and mourn for when he’s dead.It may be six or seven years, or

twenty-two or three,But will you, till I call him back,

take care of him for me?He’ll bring his charms to gladden

you, and should his stay be brief,You’ll have his lovely memories as

solace for your grief.”“I cannot promise he will stay; since

all from earth return,But there are lessons taught down

there I want this child to learn.I’ve looked the wide world over in

My search for teachers trueAnd from the throngs that crowd

life’s lanes I have chosen you.Now will you give him all your love,

not think the labour vain,Nor hate Me when I come to call to

take him back again?”“I fancied that I heard them say,

‘Dear Lord, Thy will be done!For all the joy Thy child shall bring,

the risk of grief we run.We’ll shelter him with tenderness,

we’ll love him while we may,And for the happiness we’ve known,

forever grateful stay;But should the angels call for him

much sooner than we’ve planned,We’ll brave the bitter grief that

comes and try to understand!’”May Eric’s soul rest in peace and

may his family take comfort fromthem.CAROL DE REUCK,EMAIL

Tears chief executive Colleen Curtis re-sponds: Tears would like to give Chantelour condolences for the loss of her dog andapologise for the incident which took place

at the kennels. We would like to reassureboth Chantel and the readers that this wasan isolated incident and the staff member re-sponsible has been spoken to and discipli-nary action has been taken.

The dog was placed in a body bag and itwas explained to Chantel that a cost wouldbe involved in the disposal of the body.

The timing and treatment of the bodywere not in keeping with Tears’ best prac-tice and the intake should have been under-taken tastefully and with more tact.

It is not an excuse, but it should be remem-bered that the staff in the kennels, who workhands-on with the animals who are admit-ted and treated daily, have to witness a greatdeal of hardship and neglect.

Working with animals who die in a terri-ble condition or from severe injuries re-quires a certain type of person, someonewho can guard themselves against the trau-ma of seeing these things daily.

We remind ourselves often that if you getused to these things, you have worked inwelfare too long. There is a level of detach-ment that occurs; it is not about not caring,it is about managing the emotion oneself.

The staff member who dealt with Chantelwas overly practical with the body and thusseemingly insensitive to her loss.

At Tears we pride ourselves in that wetreat each animal with compassion andcare, and we aim to treat all our clients thesame way. We always try to right a wrongif given a chance. Chantel has chosen tofetch the body and will see to the burial ofher beloved dog, Coco.

. The new bylaw for extended liquorhours has already been implemented.More road deaths, more rapes, childrenhave more access to alcohol, no morechurch on Sundays, spousal abuse... thelist goes on!

SA women’s clinch test seriesThe Investec South Africa women’s

hockey team claimed victory in the testseries against Belgium after drawing

(2-2) the final match on Monday evening.South Africa went into the game with two

victories, one loss and two draws, meaningBelgium needed to win to tie up the series.

The visitors signalled their intent earlyon, forcing the first penalty corner in thesixth minute and scoring when Anouk Raespulled the ball right of the defence.

Belgium came close again in the 10thminute, when Louise Versavel found spaceto win a second penalty corner after SA goal-keeper Phume Mbande’s initial save, but thevariation went wide of the far post.

The SA defenders did well to stop Belgiumfrom extending the lead. Then turned de-fence into attack in the 19th minute when Li-sa Deetlefs rifled a 30m diagonal pass fromthe left to striker Dirkie Chamberlain,whose full-stretch, diving deflectioncouldn’t find the back of the net.

SA won their first penalty corner after Pie-tie Coetzee speared a perfectly-weighted ballthrough to Lilian du Plessis, but the hostsagain failed to reap a dividend as Belgiumkeeper Aisling D’Hooghe pulled off a superbsave.

South Africa were improving steadilythanks to the strong home support andD’Hooghe was forced to intervene again afew minutes later.

Skipper Marsha Cox attacked the spaceand fed Chamberlain, but her snap shot was

kept out.The pressure finally told in the 32nd

minute, with Chamberlain turning from re-ceiver to supplier.

The striker shrugged off defenders to setup Kathleen Taylor, who sent a crisply-struck shot into goal.

South Africa pressed their advantage andtook the lead three minutes later, when Coxcracked a rising shot into the far corner.

Coetzee came close a couple of times afterthe change over, while Bernie Coston wasoutstanding in relieving pressure through adetermined back tackle.

In the 50th minute a low Coetzee drag-flickfrom SA’s fourth penalty corner was stoppedby the in-form D’Hooghe’s outstretchedright leg.

Five minutes later Mbande did the samefrom Judith van der Meiren at the oppositeend.

Belgium were turning the screw andearned their third penalty corner with 10minutes left, but Anne-Sophie deScheemaekere’s powerful, low drag-flickwhistled past the outside of the post.

The visitors refused to give up and re-stored parity in the 64th minute when a well-struck cross evaded the SA defenders andfound captain Charlotte Vos, who made nomistake.

Belgium almost stole victory in the dyingminutes of the game, but Deetlefs made acritical tackle to avert further danger andensure a series victory.
