Police problems persistCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A top police official has la-belledGrassy Park police sta-tion as the most problematic

station in the Wynberg Cluster.Speaking during a public meet-

ing at the Grassy Park Civic Cen-tre, Wynberg Cluster CommanderBrigadier Aaron Mlenga said gangwars, lack of resources and otherissues were at the centre of the sta-tion’s troubles.The meeting was held by the De-

partment of Community Safety(Docs) last week to discuss issuesaffecting the Wynberg Clusterwhich includes Wynberg, Kirsten-hof, Diep River, Grassy Park andSteenberg police stations.In the question and answer ses-

sion several Grassy Park neigh-bourhood watches and concernedresidents aired their views on po-licing matters.While stakeholders from all five

police precincts attended, morethan 50% of attendees came fromGrassy Park.Many residents complained

about a lack of response from po-lice and in a letter from the CentralPark NeighbourhoodWatch, mem-bers called for station commanderColonel Fana Dlamini to be re-moved.The letter, which was read by

Fuad Titus, stated they are tired offighting with Dlamini and claimedpolice are working against watch-es.In response, Mlenga said police

were struggling with gang-relatedactivity in Parkwood which tookresources away fromother sectors.He boldly stated that Grassy Park

Police Station was “a problem”.“This station is one of our top

problematic stations and the com-munity needs to know this. We al-ways find ourselves having to de-ploy extra resources [from the clus-ter] to the station.“Wewill have to askourCommu-

nity Police Forum (CPF) to step in

and help us find solutions,” Mlen-ga said.In his presentation, he also high-

lighted other crimes affecting theprecinct including burglaries, rob-beries, assault, as well as theft ofand theft out of motor vehicles.The station reported an increase

of 7.9% in contact crimes and this

was again attributed to gang vio-lence.During his speech Dan Plato,

provincial minister for Communi-ty Safety, said police stations in thecluster were under-resourced by37% and a staggering shortfall of85% was determined for the prov-ince.

“Figures provided to my officeshow that we still have very hardwork to do, together.“On average, there are between

45 and 55 murders occurring in theprovince aweek and about 95 rapesare reported aweek,” Plato pointedout.With the upcoming CPF elec-

tions, a woman also pleaded withPlato to keep a close eye on the nextelection in Grassy Park.She claimed the previous CPF

executive members were trying to“jeopardise” the current body.Plato agreed to look into it.During the meeting, Docs offi-

cials collected data about policingmatters using an electronic sur-vey.According to the preliminary re-

sults, a staggering 62.7% of attend-ees reported that they had not seenpolice patrol in their areas in thepreceding week.In addition, 79.3% think there

are not enough police resources atthe five stations.According to the results, nearly

half of those present said resourceswere not effectively utilised.Substance abuse, unemploy-

ment and poor parenting were vot-ed as the top contributors to crimeand substance abuse, the need formoney and perceptions about thejustice system were voted as themain motivators for crime.Responding to questions from

the floor, Plato said substance andalcohol abusewere “wreaking hav-oc” in the province and needed tobe dealt with.He said the information from the

survey would be collated into a re-port to be submitted to the nationalpolice department.

TRANSPORT

Drives for new metered taxi planNICOLE MCCAIN

@nikcymccain

Putting the brakes on illegal meteredtaxis, high fares and poor services arethe aims of a new strategy by council

to regulate the metered taxi industry.A new bylaw is being developed to bring

significant changes to metered taxis’ pick-up conditions and also set minimum servicestandards.The bylawwill also govern electronic pay-

ments with debit or credit cards, and e-hail-ing – the use of an e-hailing application tobook ametered taxi and other modes of pub-lic transport such as charter and touristservices, says City of Cape Town MayoralCommitteemember forTransportBrettHer-ron.“The moratorium on the issuing of new

operating licences for the metered taxi in-dustry will be lifted on Monday 1 Decemberand all new applications will be dealt within terms of the new strategy. This transitionwill not happen overnight but over a periodof three years to enable the industry and theCity to adapt accordingly,” he says.Illegal operators will be provided with a

window period to legalise their operationsby applying for an operating licence as abase operator, Herron says.The City is aiming to increase the number

of metered taxis on the road, Sport Taxi gen-eral manager Ayub Baker believes, throughlegalising current illegal operators.“The impact on the industry will be more

taxis on the road and a smaller slice of analready competitive pie. More taxis areneeded during peak times but what happensin the winter months when things slowdown considerably?” he queries.“Between car rental companies’ point to

point services and the take-me-home servic-es, we already face significant competition.TheCity has not indicatedwhether theywillput a limit on the number of operating li-cences they would be approving.”A maximum fare per kilometre will be

specified, with a minimum charge for shortdistances and a waiting time charge in thenew bylaw. Flat fares will be introduced fortrips from the airport to main destinationsin the city and approved rates will be dis-played on the vehicle and sealed in the me-

ter, Herron explains.Marine Taxi Cabs spokesperson Fiona

Herman says research needs to be carriedout before the bylaw is implemented.“Before setting fares, it would be advisa-

ble to call on qualified engineers to discussthe operational costs of a vehicle and thenadd the cost of the infrastructure of runningametered taxi company alongwith the oper-ational costs,” she says.“In order for all of us to boost Cape Town’s

tourism industry, we have no choice but to

continuously upgrade our fleet. This costsmoney which should be recovered by ourfares, but that may not be possible if faresare regulated in such a way as to prohibitgrowth.”Baker says fare regulations are needed.“It will result in the public better under-

standing the industry by making it simplerto use and understand. The view that tariffsare high is unfounded, given that rates perkilometre have only increased by R2 in thelast 10 years,” he says.Taxis will have to be replaced after eight

years according to the new bylaw and opera-tors will be incentivised to provide wheel-chair-accessible taxis. Metered taxis will al-so no longer be constrained by a pick-up ra-dius, but allowed to pick up and drop offpassengers anywhere in the city, Herronsays.This will enable taxi operators to provide

a service in any areawhere a demand arises,Baker explains. “This will potentially resultin the development of newmetered taximar-kets,” he says.It is envisaged that the necessary policies

and bylawswill be developed during the cur-rent financial year, that the new fare struc-ture will be piloted in 2015/16, and that theother changes will follow thereafter.“The City is convinced that these new

terms will allow the metered taxi industryto flourish and to run their businesses morecost effectively. We want to grow the indus-try with compliant operators who in turnwill play their part in creatingmore jobs andimproving their service to residents and vis-itors,” Herron says.But Baker counters: “The City wanting to

change the way metered taxis operate iswishful thinking, as they don’t have a clueon how to operate a metered taxi fleet.”

Implant boostMore than 15 000 Implanon devices havebeen distributed to facilities across CapeTown.And now the stock is being boosted follow-

ing an increase in the demand.Since the introduction of the contracep-

tive in February, City Health has trainednearly 200 staff on the insertion technique.The device provides contraception for

women for three years after insertion. Thedevice is a rod that is insertedunder the skinwith a pre-loaded applicator. A trained prac-titioner makes a small incision in the upperarm to insert it. It stays there, releasing aprogesterone-like hormone for up to threeyears to prevent pregnancy, says MayoralCommittee member for Health BenedictaVan Minnen.“This method of contraception differs

from the more established methods in thatwomen do not have to remember to take apill every day or return for an injection eve-ry few months. It gives them more controlover their health, well-being and reproduc-tive choices, especiallywomen forwhomun-planned pregnancy is undesirable or ahealth risk,” she says.“However, it is important to note that

while the device protects against pregnancy,like other contraceptive methods, womenmust still take the necessary precautions toprevent sexually transmitted infections.”The device is free to clients at public

health facilities. Side effects are rare andgenerallymild, with only a small percentageof women requiring removal of the device.“For women who wish to conceive, fertili-

ty is restored within two weeks after the re-moval of the device,” Van Minnen says.Between February and September there

has been an increase in requests for the Im-planon, as shown in the number of implantscompleted at clinics across the metropole.Implanon has proven most popular in the

Southern sub-district with 3 320 implantsdone and Tygerberg sub-district with 2 241,followed by Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelit-sha with just over 2 000 devices.Only 0.5% of the devices were subsequent-

ly removed. “We would like to see Implanonbecome as mainstream as other methods ofcontraception, but I do want to caution thatthe device would not be suited to womenwith certain medical conditions or who areon certain medications,” she says.

GRASSY PARK

Residents take to the streetsCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Fed-up with increasing crimelevels, a new street committeein Grassy Park is tackling is-

sues head.The Diaz Road street committee

has taken a zero tolerance ap-proach and is keeping a close eyeon illegal activities.The committee was launched by

resident Howard Downes alongwith nine other residents and injust over two weeks their effortshave yielded results.He explains: “We decided to

launch this initiative becausecrime in the area has just gotten soout of control. The committee willensure that there will always besomeone looking out for theirneighbours’ well-being.”Downes says the initiative has

been successful due to effectivecommunication between resi-dents. He believes staying in-formed plays an integral role inprotecting their street.Using a WhatsApp group resi-

dents are notified immediately ofany suspicious behaviour.“We have all our residents in a

group and messages are shared in-stantly. This is quite effective as iteliminates a time delay when peo-ple might be at work while some-onemayhave entered their proper-ty,” Downes adds.The street committee’s first task

was to tackle the “trolley brigade”

in an attempt to discourage loiter-ing and wheelie bin theft.“We used to see people carting

their trolleys in the road from ear-ly morning on refuse collectiondays. But we have now come upwith a plan to stop this from hap-pening,” he says.This plan includes instructing

all residents to not put their binson the pavement the night before.Instead they are asked to leave

their bins in their front yards onWednesday mornings when thedirt is collected.The street committee then takes

the bins outwhen the trucks arriveand put them back when the binshave been emptied.“Our members wait until the

truck is a street away then we putthe bins out ourselves and then putthemback in residents’ yards. Thishas seen less loiterers in our roadand is definitely curbing crime,”he explains.Downes explains residents

would normally put out their binsearly morning as they go to workbut this has been discouragedsince the inception of the commit-tee.Grassy Park Community Police

Forum (CPF) interim chairpersonAbe Braaf says the street has 42houses with 65 families.Using the social media group,

the residents are on “high alert”,he says.Braaf confirms the committee

will be made compliant with the

Department of Community Safety(Docs) regulations.“We are looking at training at

least one individual out of everyhousehold to become compliantwith this portfolio,” he says.

Braaf says the street committeeis not yet registered with Docs, butthe department has been informedof their existence.“It appears they plan to revisit

their programme on street com-

mittees,” he adds.V What is your view on street committees?How effective do you think they are? Anddo you belong to such a committee? Start-ing with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TRAUMA CENTRE

Here’s hopeto healthe brokenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin LutherKing, the Dalai Lama and NelsonMandela have all advocated for a vio-

lence-free society.Now a Cape Town based organisation is

taking up thismantle, providing services tovictims of violence and educating commu-nities.The Trauma Centre in Zonnebloem pro-

vides violence prevention and communitytrauma psychosocial services to those af-fected by violence, explains director Valdivan Reenen-Le Roux.“Violence prevention programmes focus

on changing people’s mindsets about andadvocating for policy reform that will bringabout safer communities.“Webelieve that a non-violent society can

only come about when each person practis-es non-violent ideals and values,” she says.

Violent societyAccording to Health24.com, trauma in

SouthAfrica is commonowing to high ratesof violent crimes, including physical andsexual assault, hijacking and domestic vio-lence.Eight out of 100 individuals will develop

Post Traumatic Street Disorder (PTSD) atsome time in their lives.This is more prevalent in women, who

aremore than twice as likely asmen tohavethe disorder.Treating PTSD is vital to preventing its

debilitating effects, says South African De-pression and Anxiety Group (Sadag)spokesperson Cassey Chamber.“If left untreatedPTSDcan lead to depres-

sion, anxiety or panic disorders. It can alsolead to behaviour such as wanting to hurtoneself, alcohol and drug abuse, tiredness,stomach pains, diarrhoea, eating disorders,breathing problems or asthma, musclecramps, back aches, sleeping problems andheart problems,” she says.In the first half of this year, the Trauma

Centre providedover 4 000 peoplewith trau-ma counselling services, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.This number is expected to exceed 6 000

by the year end.

Treating traumaWhile some are able to recover from a

trauma as a consequence of violence with-out psychological services, there are manyothers that need support to prevent trau-matic responses from affecting their livesnegatively, Van Reenen-Le Roux explains.“Psychological services support people to

process their traumatic responses in an ap-propriate way, particularly when they feelisolated and vulnerable.“These services help people to come to

terms with the trauma and its impact ontheir lives so that they are able to functionadequately at work, school, with their fami-ly and in the community. Unresolved trau-ma can have a devastating effect on peopleand their families’ lives,” she says.Any person, family or group that has ex-

perienced trauma as a consequence of vio-lence can access the centre’s services, VanReenen-Le Roux says.A number of types of violence are ad-

dressed, such as suicide, domestic violence,sexual offences, armed robberies, physicalassault, hijacking, traumatic bereavement,gang violence, torture and xenophobia.“We also provide trauma debriefing serv-

ices for businesses which have experiencedan armed robbery, hijacking or othercrime-related incident.“Frontline workers such as educators,

police officers, social workers and commu-nity leaders can access self-care pro-grammes to combat various trauma as a

consequence of exposure to violence on adaily basis,” she says.Refugees and asylum seekers, farmwork-

ers, farming communities, women and chil-dren, torture survivors and communityworkers are all given priority care, VanReenen-Le Roux says.“People can call, walk in or be referred

for counselling services.”

Healing processBetty* was in a violent relationship for

seven years, during which physical abusewas a daily experience for her and four ofher children. The children were so badlyabused that they had to be removed by a so-cial worker, Betty says.“Heused to beatmebadly.One day I came

home from work and my children were be-ing taken away. I felt like the earth couldopen up and swallow me. I had such a holein my heart and fell into depression,” shesays.Leaving her partner and the city she was

living in was the only way she could get herchildren back, Betty explains.“I had to choose between my job or my

children,” she says.Since moving, Betty has accessed weekly

counselling.“This has really helped. It’s not easy and

the trauma doesn’t just go away,” she says.Depressive episodes still often sneak up

on her.“Something triggers it and everything

just comes flooding back,” she says.“But in counselling, you can speak about

your true feelings. When you’re done witha session, you feel somuchbetter. I’mbegin-ning to heal.”

Breaking the cycleBreaking the cycle of violence is also an

important part of their work, Van Reenen-Le Roux says.More than 7 000 people received trauma-

psycho education last year.“Our biggest challenge is when violence

has become normalised and an accepted so-lution to all life’s challenges. It is difficultto change mindsets that are deeply en-trenched in supporting violent means.“Swearingmay not be viewed as a violent

act even though it is abusive and hurtfuland bullying affects so many schools, withsome parents instructing their children totake revenge by fighting back when theyare bullied,” she says.The centre runs 15 school-based trauma

counselling services – in Elsies River,Manenberg, Belhar and Athlone – and com-munity trauma counselling clinics inManenberg, Belhar, the West Coast, Khay-elitsha and Woodstock.However, funding their work remains a

challenge, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.“Most funders prefer to fund projects

where there are tangible outcomes. Withtrauma counselling, it is difficult to meas-ure the impact of our work.“Professional, registered staff who are

competent and experienced to deal with theeffects of violence on an individual, familyor community’s level of psychological well-being are costly but worth the investment.“Violence is one of the prominent causes

of death and is a public health challenge glo-bally yet victim redress is often not a priori-ty,” she says.* Betty is an assumed name.

V The Trauma Centre has been selected as the charitybeneficiary of the People’s Post/TygerBurger HotSummer Groove concert which takes place at Grand-West on Saturday 6 December. Tickets to the event– which features performances by, among others,Alistair Izobell, Emo and Loukmaan Adams, Blackbyrdand Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd – cost R130 and R5 ofeach ticket sold will go to the organisation. As an add-ed bonus, we will be giving away a car at the show.Tickets are available at Computicket.

tunity to donate and put a smile onthe faces of disadvantaged childrenwhen NPO Mustadafin Foundationhosts its annual Positive Day eventat Mnandi Swimming Pool onWednesday 10 December.More than 300 children, aged three

to 14, from the organisation’s vari-ous programmes will enjoy a day oftreats and fun.Most of the children come from

poor, destitute and broken families,and have never received a gift intheir life.“PositiveDay is anannual celebra-

tion for children who have con-quered many things during theirlives. It’s [all] about positivity.We al-so give them safety messages tomake sure they arewell equipped forthe festive season,” says foundationdirector Ghairunisa Johnstone.“These safety messages are fo-

cused on drug awareness, how to besafe in the water and general safetymeasures when guardians are notaround. It’s also a day when a childcan be a child and not have to worryabout [their living circumstances].”Many of the children have never

seen or met their biological parents.“We work with [them] during theyear, give them a gift, meal and allthe love and support that we can,”she says.“Giving them a toy is a token of

making them [feel] special andloved.”A total of 300 toys will be distribut-

ed on the day and 150 toys will behanded out on Christmas.The foundation calls on Capeto-

nions to donate toys to be distributedto the children.To donate, phone (021) 633 0010 or

MUNICIPALITY

Tagging systemto catch outdirty crooksA new refuse bin tagging system could

save millions in rates.The City of Cape Town is currently

fitting all 24F wheelie bins with electronictags tohelpmonitor servicedeliveryandre-cover stolen infrastructure.The initiative to fit wheelie bins with

identification tagswas done to ensuremoreefficient service provision and revenue ac-curacy.The tags will allow the City to monitor

each bin serviced and to identify bins thatare lost.Mayoral Committee member for Utility

Services Ernest Sonnenberg says the Cityservices in excess of 800 000 wheelie binseach week and this service is provided bymeans of personnel.Trucks and wheelie bins are serviced at

a cost of almost R1bn a year.In rendering the service, virtually every

public street in the entire municipal areais serviced each week.“The tagging of bins will allow for the

service of each individual bin to be moni-tored. This will provide the means to im-prove operational efficiency and effective-ness inmanaging labour, vehicles and serv-ices because the date, time and location of

each bin lifted will be recorded,” he says.The project will be managed by external

service provider RAMM Technologies.RAMM Technologies is currently under

tender by the City and provides services toseveral departments in the Utility ServicesDirectorate.“RAMM Technologies has been appoint-

ed by the solid waste management depart-ment’s collections and drop-offs branch toperform the refuse bin identification exer-cise.“It will see numerous crews, consisting

ofRAMMcontracted staff,moving through-out the city in various suburbs over thenext couple of months.”These crews will be tagging each individ-

ual refuse bin in order to compile a geo-da-tabase of all the City’s mobile refuse bins.For the public to easily identify these

crews, RAMM crew members will be re-quired to carry an identification card con-taining the City of Cape Town logo, photo-graph of the crewmember’s face, member’ssurname, first name/s aswell as RAMMop-erations’ telephone number.To obtain additional information, contact

RAMM Technologies on 086 111 7266 or theCity of Cape Town on (021) 444 7127.

PARKWOOD

Soup kitchenspat rages onCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Threats to shut down a Parkwood soupkitchen – which feeds 600 people in-cluding pupils from two primary

schools – have resurfaced.The soup kitchen, run by Yasmine Abra-

hams, has been situated on the premises ofthe Masjiedun Nur Mosque on the cornerof Blackbird Street and Dove Road for 12years.Now, Abrahams claims, the mosque com-

mittee has tried to get her off the property,which is owned by the City of Cape Town,and has locked her out on more than oneoccasion.In a previous report (“Charity clashes

with mosque and City officials”, People’sPost, 17 September 2013) Abrahams wascaught in a legal battle with the mosquecommittee.When asked for a response, the mosque

committee referred People’s Post to wardcouncillor Melanie Arendse.She explains the kitchen serves meals on

Wednesdays and Fridays. “I have been feed-ing the community formany years now andthey respect me. I don’t know why themosque officials want me out,” she says.Without the service, Abrahams says, the

community will suffer.The City has now givenAbrahams a lease

for a new container situated near to themosque.“Paperwork for the new container has

been signed already and we expect it to bedelivered in the next two weeks. The City’s

social development department has been incontact with me and our last meeting wason Thursday 6 November,” she explains.Abrahams claims the mosque committee

is restricting access to their premises asthey “want the soupkitchen to themselves”.“They are trying to close me down so that

they may run the soup kitchen. They evenclaim I am operating illegally,” she adds.She also claims the committee wants her

off the premises claiming that the containershe operates from is occupying “too muchspace and limits parking in the premises”.“This was never a problem before. I don’t

know why it is an issue.”Arendse says: “This is now a City issue

and we would rather have Arendse com-ment on the matter.”Arendse confirms the visit to finalise a

lease for her new container.She says the soup kitchen is not currently

using the facility at the mosque.Arendse did not comment on the allega-

tions made by Abrahams.“There are still a few things to sort out

before the new container arrives. The con-tainer will be fenced and we will also haveplumbing and electricity connected at thenew container,” Arendse says.She further explains they have received

quotes for the container and to connect theelectricity supply will cost R7 000.“We are in the process of having this all

finalised for Abrahams to continue hersoup kitchen operations,”Arendse adds.V Do you make use of this soup kitchen? What areyour thoughts? Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour opinion to 32156. SMSes cost R1.

CHILDCARE

Preemies get afighting chanceNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A baby’s first smile, first step or firstword is a memory a mother will al-ways remember.

These memories will however never bemade for one out of seven of the millionmothers who give birth prematurely.But the Newborns Groote Schuur Trust

is working tirelessly to change these heart-breaking statistics.The trust supports the Neonatal Unit at

Groote Schuur Hospital with funds to im-prove survival rates among premature, lowbirth weight and critically ill babies, saystrust spokesperson Julie Gibson.The neonatal unit cares for 3 200 of some

of the smallest and sickest babies in theWestern Cape each year.Many of these children weigh less than

a bag of sugar, with some only the weightof a block of margarine.ShiyaamValentine’s sonYaqeenweighed

only 970g when he was born last year.With underdeveloped lungs, he lost an-

other 200g at only a few days old.“I was so scaredwhen I sawmy son,” Val-

entine says.“I didn’t even know if I should hold him.

I was just amazed that he was alive as hewas such a small baby. It was very emotion-al.”The unit and trust became Valentine’s

second family as they nursed her son tohealth.“They were teaching me things like how

to feed and carry my son,” she says.Now, a year on, he is growing stronger

each day.“He’s stubborn,” she says, laughing.“He shouts to get his own way and has

started standing and is trying to walk.”But not every story ends like Valentine’s.Over 200 mothers leave the unit without

their babies every year.This statistic is what the trust aims to

prevent by equipping the unit with new in-cubators and other equipment, Gibsonsays.“One of the biggest problems facing our

unit is that it is only a quarter of the sizeit should be for the number of babies lookedafter annually.“Thismeans it is constantly runningover

capacity. Overcrowding greatly increasesthe risk of infection and other complica-tions for our tiny patients,” she points out.Theunit has been assignedmore space by

the hospital which will more than doublethe size of the ward.However, funds are needed to aid the ex-

pansion, Gibson says.To assist in fundraising, the trust is hold-

ing a seven-hour knit-a-thon onWorld Pree-mies Day, observed on Monday 17 Novem-ber.Knitters are invited to show off their

skills by creating beanies for the babies ordonating towards the trust.V The knit-a-thon will take place at Groote SchuurHospital from 07:00 to 14:00. Dress in purple for pree-mies. Contact Julie Gibson at (021) 404 6023 or [email protected].

CRIME

Marker ‘myth’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Painted letters, piles of stones, soft drinkcans and plastic bags – these are justsome of the markings social media

“alerts” have warned residents could meana house is being targeted by criminals.Facebook postings have reported that eve-

rything from empty chips packets to shoes– as well as how they are positioned – canindicate if the homeowner is armed, if theoccupants are home and where there are es-cape routes.But police say there is no evidence that

these markings are used by criminals.Provincial police spokesperson Lieuten-

ant Colonel Andrè Traut says: “Althoughcriminals are very creative with theirmodus operandi, there is no evidence to sup-port the allegation that homes are marked

in some way or another so that a burglarycan be perpetrated.”This is backed up by security companies.ADTSecuritymanaging directorRobDale

says security guards have not encounteredthis technique.Sniper Security’s RidwaanMatthews says

the alerts are based on myth.“I’ve been in the industry for 18 years and

have not experienced criminals usingmark-ers. The majority of crime is opportunistic– a criminal seeing an open window and a

flatscreen TV and going for it,” he says.“Planning tends to only take place when

criminals are targeting a business orpremiseswith high value items and then thecriminalswill carryout reconnaissance,”hesays.Matthews urges residents to install pre-

ventative security measures.This, he points out, includes alarms and

motion sensors as well as remaining vigi-lant.There are several practical precautions

residents can implement to enhance theirperimeter security, Dale adds.“These include keeping trees and shrub-

bery in the garden neatly trimmed to avoidproviding a hiding place for intruders,” heexplains.Dale says it is also important to ensure

that the garden and perimeter are sufficient-ly lit,” he says.Residents should report any suspicious

activities, person or vehicle immediately.“It is important that communities and se-

curity role players – including communitysafety groups, private security companiesand the police – continue to develop andmaintain good working relationships asthese do bolster crime prevention efforts,”he says.V Have you seen these “markers”?

Plans to streamline council policiesIn an effort to reduce red tape and createmore policy certainty, the City of CapeTown has identified additional local areaplanning policies to consider forwithdraw-al.A total of 58 outdated or obsolete plan-

ning policies have been identified, addingto the already 300 policies which have beenwithdrawn since 2012.According to a statement by council, its

land use and spatial planning decision-making processes are guided by “relevantand modern planning policies”, includingthe Cape Town Spatial DevelopmentFramework and eight detailed districtplans.“However, the City also inherited a

numberof pre-2000 local areaplanningpoli-cies from thepreviously disestablishedmu-nicipalities now comprising the metro,” itstates.“Many of these policies have subsequent-

ly either been superseded by the districtplans or havenowbecomeobsolete and out-

dated.”A planning policy rationalisation proc-

ess to withdraw old policies has been initi-ated.“Reducing red tape to simplify the deci-

sion-making environment is vital,” saysMayoral Committee member for Energy,Environmental and Spatial Planning Jo-han van der Merwe.“This also creates increased policy cer-

tainty which is essential to drive invest-ment and create much-needed jobs.”A list of the policies the City is proposing

for withdrawal has been published on theCity’s website at www.capetown.gov.za.The list is also available at all City librar-ies, subcouncil offices and district plan-ning offices.Residents and interested parties can sub-

mit comments byWednesday 10 December.For information about the public partici-

pation process of the withdrawal of poli-cies, email [email protected].

‘No’ to waste drop off siteThe City of Cape Town boastfully de-clares: “This City works for you.”Ever wondered what the experience is

like when this City does not work for you?The past few days the community of

Parkwood experienced just that. [Thereis] a proposal to establish a waste drop offsite in our faces, those of our seniors,youth and future generations.Iwant to cry.Ourdignity, culture, histo-

ry and the very essence ofwhowe as a peo-ple are and where we come from, is tornapart, looked at with contempt andthrown in our faces.Does this City work for us when a coun-

cillor proposes to bring a waste drop offsite fromanon-residential area, hiddenbya freeway in Constantia and dump it rightnext to our cemetery, sports field, andnear our clinic, civic and residential area?Does the City work for you when we, theaffected parties, were never included inany process of consultation or participa-tion, and when the local subcouncil andward councillors have “no knowledge” ofwhat’s happening? And when the commu-nity consultative meeting was held in Pel-ican Park, out of our ward with no rele-vant parties present?Does this City work for us when the

company appointed by them propose acommunal entrance gate – same for thehearse and the dump truck – when we areadvised to make pre-arrangements when

there is a burial so that the noise level canbe dropped?Does the City understand we hold dear

to our hearts thememories of our parents,great-grandparents, those who sufferedunder apartheid and struggled to give usa decent education? Do they understandwe want them to rest with dignity in theirgraves?Does the City understand we already

struggle to overcome gangsterism, crime,substance abuse, poverty and the resultsof anunjust systemwhere our people havebeen stripped of dignity and self-worth?I commit myself to the struggle again.With our few resources, finances and all

the challenges of a mighty force withfunds, advocates and power on their side,[we] fight an unjust, undemocratic and in-humane system.Our children will not play soccer next

to awaste dump.My belovedswill not restin their graves next to a waste dump. Ourseniors will not walk an extra mile to ac-cess basic services because of a wastedump. My grandchild will not drive alongthe freeway and see her communitydwarfed by a waste dump, nor shall we re-live the days when others decide, do andspeak for us.I cry out for your prayers, support and

voice.PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPSPARKWOOD

Jobs: even harder for older peopleIf young people feel like giving up be-cause they don’t have enough experi-ence, just think how people between 35and 40 years old feel (“Give our youth achance”, People’s Post, 21 October;“Jobs: I feel like giving up”, People’sPost, 28 October).We have all the experience in the

world, but all the jobs either go to blackpeople or youngsters/students becausethey are cheap labour and not familiar

with their rights.I have sent hundreds of CVs via email

and even resorted to handing out copiesto businesses and hotels, but [I get no]replies. When you actually go for inter-views – which can last all of 10 minutesto one hour – they turn you away or justdon’t call. You spend all that taxi fare fornothing.What do you have to do to get hired?

Some food for thoughtI saw on TV how two women spoke of theirstruggle to put food on the table.They went to a supermarket and the

shock hit home – they received a measlyamount of food at an astronomical price.All of us, no matter our financial status,

are bending at the knees at the till for theprices we have to pay.I looked at the prices in a supermarket

and thought of the man in the street [bat-tling] to survive on the food prices. Govern-ment has to invest in mass food productionand price control. One of themajor contrib-utors to the price tag is branding.I do not care what brand is on the packet

of fruit, vegetables and meat because weneed the food.We cannot afford the prices that make a

few richer but keep millions on the verylean side of the bread line.

Food not sold by a due date is dumped aswaste or collected by farmers for their ani-mals.Why is that foodnot soldat a lowpriceto people struggling to put a morsel of foodon the table?Has profitmade us blind to theplight of our people?Some farmers also use hectares of fields

to plant lettuce.What makes a farmer plant a cluster of

leaves insteadof potatoes, cabbage, peas, to-matoes, carrots, onions, pumpkins orsquash?Government needs to do some shopping

and fasting, and then invest in an afforda-ble menu for the struggling diners.MahatmaGandhi said: “There are people

in the world so hungry that God cannot ap-pear to them except in the form of bread.”KEITH BLAKEOTTERY

Your SMSes. I just read “Get serious” in People’sPost. Grassy Park police is no help to thecommunity of Lotus River. I oncephoned them and explained the reasonfor my call. I was told they cannot cometo Lotus River, because the officers can’ttake the risk. I havea court orderagainstsomeone who is harassing me, but I wastold the document is just a piece of paperand they cannot help me.

.More liquor outlets in our area? Ab-solutely not. It provides easier access toalcohol and will increase use and abuse,as well as social and economic poverty.Shebeens increase problems.

. Asamotherof three teenagers, I fearfor my and their lives. I also fear for thecommunity. I live close toParkwood.Ac-tion drastically needs to be taken. Shoot-ings take place in broad daylight. Con-cerned parent

.What has ward councillor MelanieArendse done for our areas? Nothing –they are receiving money but not work-ing in the communities. She just takescredit. They all know who sells drugsand illegal goods. They should up theworking in the areas, rather than just sitand talk.

. You will never be rid of gangsterswhile you treat them like humans. Cullthem like you do with excess or danger-ous animals. The police know who theyare. Get the army to eradicate them.

. Council should make tenants re-sponsible for interior maintenance ofrental housing. The occupants will thenassist in curbing vandalism.

. Illegal tenants are criminals and

should be treated as such. The police aresupposed to enforce the law. If it’s nottheir department, they should call therelevant department and let them dealwith it. Neighbours need to be more tol-erant and look out for each other.

.We live in anabundantuniverse, yetso many people live in poverty. Abun-dance is not something we acquire, it issomethingwe tune into. To live life fully,we must choose courageously and lovewithout limits. The majority of our re-sults come fromaminority of our efforts.Abundance is a prosperity conscious-ness.

HEALTH

Team-uphelps toimprove livesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Confidence Qosi struggled to tie hisshoes every morning, needing hiswife’s assistance for two years.

His constant pain made working as awaiter a daily challenge.However, thanks to a newpartnership be-

tween the Groote Schuur Hospital andbroad based economic empowerment com-pany Unipalm, 58-year-old Qosi received ahip transplant.

Reducing numbersThe partnership is aimed at reducing the

waiting list for hip and knee transplant sur-gery.There are around 1 200 patients currently

on the provincial waiting list.Groote Schuur spokesperson Alaric

Jacobs says due to pressure caused by trau-ma surgery operating time, elective surger-ies such as hip and knee replacements areoften delayed.In April, Unipalm approached the hospi-

tal to offer to assist in alleviating the longwaiting period for hip and knee surgery, in-cluding the implantation of hip and kneeprosthetics.The company funds part of the cost of the

resources required to perform the hip andknee replacement surgical procedure, suchas the cost of the joint.Director Ragavan Moonsamy says the

company has a strong focus on poverty alle-viation, running a number of social corpo-rate investment projects.“Much like the palm tree, we want to en-

sure our fruit falls to the ground. Whenlooking for poverty alleviation projects, wewere drawn to healthcare after hearing ofthe number of patients waiting for joint re-placement surgery. And Groote Schuur hasbeen home to all of us at some point,” hesays.

Counting costsKnee and hip replacement surgery can

cost between R50 000 and R60 000 in the pub-lic sector, Jacobs says.Around 80 knee replacement surgeries

are performed every year, with 180 hips re-placed.Somepatientswait years for a transplant.Shireen Edwards is one of the lucky pa-

tients to benefit from the partnership. “Icouldn’t walk and was constantly on painmedication. I couldn’t do any houseworkand had to sit on a chair to cook,” she says.The 66-year-old is thoroughly enjoying

her new-found mobility.“I’m able to go for walks in the park and

shopping at malls. These are things Icouldn’t do before,” she says.MariamBassdien is nowable to playwith

her grandchildren after receiving a kneetransplant.“I don’t know how long I would have had

to wait if not for this partnership,” the 78-

year-old says.“I am now able to do all the housework

– even the windows! Before the surgery, Icouldn’t walk to the shop or play with mygrandchildren,” she says.The partnership will see up to 40 trans-

plants completed in the coming weeks.

EMPOWERMENT

Training key for Community ChestCommunity Chest has been on a mission toadd capacity to community activists.To this end, a total of 529 staff from 233 lo-

cal NPOs were awarded certificates fromCommunity Chest for passing the rigorouscapacity building training they had under-gone in 11 different aspects of their opera-tions.The prestigious graduation ceremony

took place on Wednesday 29 October.According to a statement, since the mid-

1990s Community Chest has been fosteringorganisational development by offering ca-pacity building training courses to NGOslooking to establish themselves.Community Chest head of due diligence

CrystelleArends says after 1994,with the ad-vent of democracy, many black NGOs strug-gled to access funding.“Many of the organisations applying for

funding through Community Chest backthen were non-compliant, because theydidn’t fulfil the legal requirements anddidn’t know how to access subsidies fromgovernment or even fill out the relevantforms,” she says.Community Chest staff designed training

modules and courses they could offer to as-sist NGOs with regulations, governance,budgeting and general administration.Community Chest financial officer Susan

Thevar says the training programmewas an

initiative intended to shift communitiesfrom a culture of poverty to prosperity. “Weneeded to examine how we had internalisedthe culture of poverty by seeking to ‘fix’ thepoor and underprivileged communities bysimply handing out grants,” she explains.Community Chest now offers 10 capacity

building training courses.The core training course is Basics in Or-

ganisational Development for NGOs andNPOs that takes them through governance,requirements, board structures, budgetingand auditing up to a point where they fulfilthe compliance requirements.Thevar says: “In thisway,wenot only pro-

vide grants, but we have equipped the com-

munity organisations with the understand-ing of how best to administer that grant andthe knowledge to improve their pro-grammes.”YumnaMartin, Community Chest head of

training, says funding from internationaldonor Mott Foundation has enabled Com-munityChest to greatly improve and expandits capacity building training for NGOs.The demand for the training, however, re-

mains enormous. “A lot of people are al-ready on waiting lists for next year’s cours-es,” Martin says.Community Chest chief executive officer

Lorenzo Davids says he is proud of the im-pact of the capacity training.

Slog-fest for junior cricketersDUDLEY CARSTENS

Cricket scouts in and around CapeTown will do themselves no harm bypencilling in Sunday 30 November

for a visit to Blue Bells Cricket Club’s Su-perStrikers tournament.

It’s there where they might just discov-er the next Paul Adams – now coach ofthe Cape Cobras and former Blue BellsCricket Club player.

The tournament will be the first of itskind hosted by the club for under-11, un-der-13 and under-15 teams.

With the regular season already athing of the past at the end of this week,Blue Bells Cricket Club junior convenorGhalied Sambo says the drive behindtheir campaign is to keep children fo-cused on cricket when the season is doneand dusted.

Sambo tells People’s Post: “The mainaim of the tournament is to build dreamsand allies. We want the kids to enjoy thetournament and mix with the other play-ers a bit. With the season ending on Sat-urday 15 November, we want to keep thechildren focused on cricket a little long-er, because if they don’t have anything

to do – that’s where mischief comes in.”Sambo says they hope to attract pro-

vincial selectors and scouts to the tour-nament. It is for this reason that they al-so invited some Cape Cobras cricketersto attend the tournament.

“You never know who will be there,”he says.

“That’s why we will have an open tour-nament for everyone – clubs andschools.”

The event organisers hope to have fourteams in each division, with a round-rob-in section before the start of the knock-outs.

In the past Blue Bells have hosted a six-a-side tournament, but it will be the firsttime the will have a tournament in whichjuniors from other clubs and schools arealso invited to participate.

It promises to be a slog-fest of note,with matches being contested over fiveovers per innings, with the wicketkeeperbeing the only one not allowed to bowl.

Entry for the tournament is R800 perteam and those interested can phoneSambo on 082 551 7850.

The tournament will be held atChukker Road Sports Complex.
