The City of Cape Town closed the Parkwood centre for two years and spent over R1 million on new tiling, bathrooms, rewiring and a range of other things to make the facility look better all round. It reopened on Saturday 1 October, but thieves made sure the community did not get any use from it when they broke in and caused major damage. The hall is usually used for functions and com- munity projects. It was also the office of Council- lor Melanie Arendse. “We were so looking for- ward to the re-opening of this place. We were ready to roll out new projects for youths, elderly people and for the community in general. Now everything has been put on hold because of the break in”, says Arendse. Now community members have to hire either Grassy Park or Ottery community centre for functions. Staff believe the break-in happened on Satur- day 10 December and thieves got into the build- ing through the roof. “When we arrived for work on Monday we saw that the ceiling had been broken and pieces of the ceiling were lying everywhere,” says princi- pal facility officer Carien Stegmann. The criminals broke in through the roof and disconnected all the wiring, including the alarm system. They broke the ceiling, broke basins, and ripped out wiring and copper pipes causing flooding in the building. “They caused so much damage and now the place will have to be closed again for at least three to four months.” Last month the local clinic just down the road suffered the same fate. Copper pipes were ripped from the wall, leaving the clinic flooded and un- usable. Staff nurses had to send patients to other nearby clinics to get treatment, and just a week before, Lotus River Primary reported all its taps stolen. Councillor Arendse says the community is angry. “People are angry and they have a right to be. Every time the same thing happens. These criminals are taking away what belongs to the community and that is just sad. The worst part is there are people out there who knows who did it but they are not coming forward with the infor- mation.” Jolene Adams, who lives in the area, says she is sick of the criminals. “Why must we suffer.? Last time it was the clinic. Those people who broke into the clinic, their children probably go there to get treatment. Then it was the primary school. Now they broke into the centre; it makes me so sad. These drug addicts have no remorse. All they care about is their drug habits. It’s pa- thetic.” Grassy Park police spokesperson Warrant Of- ficer Wynita Kleinsmith says fingerprints have been lifted at the scene but no suspects have been arrested to date. “We have not been able to catch these criminals just yet. We are also still investi- gating the clinics burglary case, but no finger prints were found there. We need the community to stand with us, to try and catch the thieves. Many times community members know who the culprits are but they don’t report them and the criminals are free to do it again.” Kleinsmith added that any person caught buy- ing second- hand goods will be prosecuted. “The problem is that there is a market out there for second-hand goods. There are second-hand dealers who buy goods from the thieves and then re-sell them, that’s why there are so many burglaries. It is never go- ing to stop if these thieves just re-sell the goods and no-one comes forward to report them to us. If we find any people buying or selling these things, they will have to face the law.” NIGHT LIFE: The Adderley Street night market kicked off last night and provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the Mother City’s festive lights. It will run every night (except Christmas) from 19:00 to mid- night till Friday 30 De- cember. There are 180 stalls with an ar- ray of goodies to buy.

Centre targeted by robbersTAMMY PETERSEN
ONLY a few months after the opening of a shop-ping centre in Lansdowne, the area has becomea robbery hotspot.
The marked presence of thieves has led to morefrequent police patrols around the Lansdowne Cor-ner Shopping Centre, with more constant policepresence planned for the lead-up to Christmas.
Constable Nkululeko Mnyaka, spokesperson forthe Lansdowne police, advises people to be carefulwhen travelling on foot, especially near LansdowneRoad and Jan Smuts Drive.
“Thenumberofmuggingsin this vicinity is causinggreat concern and whileregular patrols are beingheld, people have to do allthey can to keep safe,” hesays.
“With the festive season comes opportunisticcriminals who are fully aware that people are carry-ing more cash on them for their Christmas shop-ping. Do not compromise your safety by being negli-gent.” Martin Snyders from Hanover Park says hewas accosted by two men while walking towardsHanover Park Avenue two weeks ago.
“They took R800 which I had just drawn from anATM inside. They had the nerve to smack me be-cause I didn’t have more! I think they may have fol-lowed me and seen me withdrawing money,” hesays.
Snyders says he has become more careful whenvisiting the centre.
“Unfortunately, it is situated in an area whererobberies are nothing new. These guys just standaround and wait for the perfect opportunity tostrike, so I hope others learn from my experience.”
Shopper Georgina Lucas from Lansdowne saysshe previously walked to the centre but after beingpick-pocketed while leaving the premises, she nowopts to drive the one kilometre. “It does make mequite nervous to see the number of people hangingaround in theparking lot andoutsidealong the sidesof the streets,” she says.
“Sometimes they will come up to me and ask mefor R1 but I simply lookthe other way. You don’tknow which ones couldbe troublesome.”
Acting centre managerWeldon Cameron dis-misses the claims as
“pure exaggeration” but confirms that three robber-ies had been reported, and said they occurred at thebus stop near Lansdowne Road.
Security at the centre is tight, he argues.“Besides the guards we have at the centre itself,
we have another two stationed at the entrance closeto the field which separates Lansdowne and Hano-ver Park to ensure that nothing happens to shop-pers,” he says.
Cameron advises pedestrians not to carry largesums of money on them, encouraging them to ratheruse the ATMs at the centre.
Firearm licencesGRASSY Park SAPS are appeal-ing to all those who have regis-tered for a firearm licence to col-lect their documents at the police
station. For more Information onthe collectionof their documents,contact Yoshie Chetty on(021) 700-3924.

He then took out a screwdriver and stabbed herin the back once and then in the chest. The girl diedon the scene.

Silky smooth ideas will aid economySPOIL someone this Christmasand buy them something in Afri-can silk that has been locallymade and will positively impactSouth Africa’s job creation agen-da.
The silk can be bought fromTsakani House, which was the firstsilk producing and manufacturingcompany in South Africa. The com-pany pioneered the concept of Afri-can silk and launched the first silkduvet in 1994.
The Tsakani product range in-cludes both wild and cultivated silkproducts.
“The silks are hand spun, woven,dyed, painted and unique in charac-ter, unlike silk produced elsewherein the world,” says Moeka Ellis, theowner of Tsakani House.
“Wild African silk is derivedfrom the Gonometa Postica, a spe-cies endemic to the desert regionsof Southern Africa. The cocoons areharvested in Acacia veld of the Ka-lahari. The silk is fawn coloured,textured with a soft sheen.”
Their product range includes cot-ton on silk duvets, silk on silk du-vets, summer silk quilts, silk pil-lows, silk bed linen, silk blankets,silk clothing, hand woven silkscarves and stoles, hand woven silkdécor products, hand painted silkaccessories and silk teddy bears.
Tsakani House has appeared andreceived recognition for its prod-ucts in several national and local
publications and TV programmesas well as receiving the 2009 Nation-al Craft Award for excellence in tex-tiles. Ellis says Tsakani Housestarted the business with three fulltime workers and 16 part timecrafts people and has since grown.
She says challenges faced includethe economic downturn, which in-fluenced their turn-over negative-ly.
“The support of our existing cli-ent base is very crucial to maintain-ing a steady income,” she says.
“New clients are becoming fewer,as Tsakani is a niche brand in silkproducts and appeals to upper in-come groups and the tourist trade.”
The business chose to become aProudly South African member be-cause it felt it was bringing a
unique South Africa product pro-file to Proudly South African.“South African crafts people oper-ate on the fringes of our economyand Tsakani strives to bring theminto the fold by creating work op-portunities and thus gets to show-case their talent.”
She urged people to follow theirdreams.
“South Africans can do it forthemselves. We have the talent andthe creativity to produce worldclass products, so buy proudly.”
Regarding job creation, sshe said:“We have so much untapped talent.Reinstate the textile/clothing man-ufacturing to South Africa – we can-not compete with cheap Asian im-ports, which are destroying our tex-tile industry and valuable jobs.”

Greasy problem costing the city R60mFATS, cooking oils, grease,food scrapings orleftoversplaced in the sink have beenidentified as causing hugeblockages in the sewage sys-tem.
The City incurs around R60million annually to clear sewerblockages across the city, manyof which are caused by thesesubstances.The city says at-tempts to dissolve the substanc-es by pouring boiling waterdown the sink doesn’t work asthey will solidify further downthe pipeline.This results in:
. Blocked sewers
. Sewer pump failures
. Sewage overflows
. Damage to municipal infra-structure
. Reduced efficiency ofwastewater treatment facility(hence the infrastructure’shigh operation and mainte-nance costs.)
. Unhygienic and unhealthyconditions in contravention ofthe City’s environmentalhealth by-laws, which state thatno person must cause or allowany land or premises, that he isresponsible for, to become sofoul and filthy that it poses ahealth risk.The Water Pollu-tion Control Unit of the Waterand Sanitation Department ap-
peals to businesses to assist inreducing or eradicating theseproblems by:
. Ensuring that all foreignobjects are disposed of in refusebins/skips.
. Scraping leftovers into arefuse bin before washing theplates, pans and utensils.
. Arranging that oil be col-lected by a licensed waste con-tractor and keeping disposalcertificates handy for at leasttwo years for inspection pur-poses.
. Installing grease traps inall premises engaged in thecooking and preparation of foodfor other persons. This can be
discussed with Water PollutionControl inspectors.
. Regularly maintaininggrease traps and related equip-ment.Businesses are also re-quested to assist by reportingbroken/missing gully grids,rodding eyes and manhole cov-ers to the call centre below.Formore information and com-plaints contact thecall centreon 0860 10 30 89 or sms 31373 oremail [email protected]

Informal traders findnew home in WynbergLIAM MOSES
THE first informal business hub in theSouthern Suburbs has opened up in Wyn-berg, just in time for the Christmas rush.
The Wynberg Arcade, at 207 Main Road, of-ficially opened its doors on Friday December16 but has been trading since Tuesday De-cember 13.
The Arcade is the brainchild of SekouKaba, a Wynberg resident who moved toSouth Africa from Liberia in 1996.
According to Kaba, he started the businessbecause he noticed a need in the area andthought it was a good business opportunity.
“I had another market in Long Street thatwas called the African Woman’s Market. Iclosed that down anddecided to open this,”said Kaba.
“I opened this marketto help me and also tohelp the other peoplewho are selling in thestreet. There is no place for them to go, thereis no place for them to sell – I can see thereis a lot of demand for this.”
Not all of the stores inside the market havebeen completed, but there will enough spaceto house 26 informal traders once construc-tion has finished.
The tenants at the market currently in-clude a barber, a cellphone repair shop, cafe,tailor, cosmetics store, African cuisine res-taurant, internet cafe and a Rastafarianshop.
According to Kaba, a doctor will also be set-ting up shop once the building has been com-pleted.
The entrance to the arcade is barely notice-able from Main Road, but there is a largeopen area at the rear of the building.
Kaba says that he has grand plans for thisspace.“We’re going to start a car wash in theback where people can come and have their
cars cleaned,” said Kaba.“I also want to start a fleamarket outside
on Saturdays so that people can come and sellwhatever they want to sell for free.
It’s an opportunity for people in the neigh-bourhood to sell what they have.
Much like the area around it, the marketis a diverse place. The tenants are from allover Africa, including Rwanda, the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and SouthAfrica, and the products and services on saleare equally eclectic.
Francois Schoeman, a 26-year-old, runs aRastafarian store which sells clothing, caps,music and medicinal herbs, amongst otherthings. Before setting up his store in the ar-cade, one of only three South Africans whooperate there, Schoeman sold his products
from a stand nearby.“You have to give any
new business time. Itneeds about six monthsto start being successful,”said Schoeman.
“It’s an investment andyou have to use your mind to get money foryourself. This is part of our lifestyle as Rasta-farians; to be self employed, to be self-suffi-cient and to be self-sustainable.”
Daniel Pecku, a 28-year-oldClaremont resi-dent who moved to South Africa from Ghanaeight years ago, runs the internet cafe at theArcade.Pecku previously worked at anotherinternet cafe in Claremont before he startedthe business here with the help of his broth-er.According to Pecku, the arcade is the per-fect location for an internet cafe.
“I know how to set up a business and Iknow how to make money,” said Pecku.
“This place is busy. It’s near a Pick ’n Pay,a pharmacy, and close to the Main Road. Idon’t think I would have chosen any otherplace.”
According to Kaba, only there is only spacefor two more tenants in the building.

Here’s to youYESTERDAY we put the last People’s Post edi-tion for 2011 tobed, andaswedid sowe reflect-ed on how we covered community news overthe past year.
Community newspapers play a vital role inthe global news arena; providing a platformto the voiceless thousands with scant chanceof seeing their stories in the mainstreampress.
We asked ourselves many questions. Didwe listen well enough? Did we acknowledgeand powerfully convey our readers’ con-cerns? Did we consistently produce qualitycontent? Are we worthy of the praise lavishedon us by our loyal readers who describe ourpapers as “edgy”, “quality”, “preferred”, “thepaper of choice”?
Though hard to swallow at times, criticalanalysis is essential in our quest for excel-lence in journalism. In our business – thebusiness of news – criticism or constructivefeedback is as much of a factor as deadlines.Each week we hold our papers up to scrutinyand as we wind up this year, we have alreadybegun developing our editorial vision fornext year, and pinned down our strategy toelevate our papers and enhance our brand ina highly competitive playing field.
Unlike other industries, the media does notwind down this time of the year.
In fact, the opposite holds true as our lastworking day yesterday was one of writing,planning, layout and meeting productiondeadlines – with a little “breaking up” partythrown in.
It’s easy for journalists to switch off theircomputers, but not as easy to switch off ourcreative buzz.
Our three-week holiday may be just thetrick, and is certainly welcomed by us. As wemake our mental transition from hardwork-ing journalists to holidaymakers, we wish allour readers and valued advertisers a blessedChristmas and prosperous new year. Have awonderful, safe holiday. We look forward toserving you well in 2012.

authentic and unique. Butit is Matsson’s passion onstage that cuts deep intomemory. The energy andraw emotion that bleedsthrough all his perform-ances is mesmerising.

Successful tournament draws to an endSuccessful tournament draws to an endLYNN PRINS
TURFHALLStadiumwasdeaf-ening on Saturday when lo-
cals flooded to witness an excit-ing Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC) fi-nal between their favourites, Ja-pan and the US.
The US, who were champions ofthe 2007 Junior Women’s WorldChampionship, had a tough matchagainst Japan, but eventually wonwhen – in the fifth inning – Chey-anne Tarango hit a grandslamhome run over the fence.
People’s Post is the media partnerof the JWWC.
Japankept composureand foughtback but only managed to score onerun, which led to the US beingcrowned champions again for thefourth time.
It was not easy way for the US inthe play-offs, since they faced Japanon Friday and lost the game, send-ing Japan straight to the final.
Japan was then the only unde-feated team and the only team tohave beaten the US.
The champions had to then faceChinese Taipei on Saturday tostand a chance to be in the final,where they successfully beat Chi-nese Taipei 12-3.
ChineseTaipei,whohadalso facedAustral-ia in the play-offs on Friday, reduced the Aus-sies to tears when they were defeated 3-2, and
in the end hopeful Chinese Taipei came thirdin the tournament, winning bronze for the
second time. The rest of the teamswho all made play-offs were Cana-da, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil,and China.
Apart from experiencing joy anddisappointment, players found itdifficult saying goodbye as the tour-nament ended.
Many friendships were formed,and Cape Town proved yet againhow well they can host an interna-tional event.
The closing ceremony was donein style, and guests were once againentertained – just as in the openingceremony.
Limited Edition, a group of drum-mers, showed off their talents to thecrowd, to standing ovation.
Beng Choo Low, InternationalSoftball Federation Secretary Gen-eral, thanked South Africans andthe people of Cape Town for theiroutstanding support.
He also praised Noore Nacerodi-en, head of local organising com-mittee, alongwithhis team formak-ing the ISF ninth JWWC Under 19tournament a success.
The tournament was also de-scribed as one of the best by manycoaches, and Nacerodien said thatSoftball South Africa will be bid-ding for the 2016 Senior WorldChampionship.
He wished the teams well and a safe jour-ney home.
