I was told I had to wait three months and could move in the be- ginning of this year. When Janu- ary came I was told the house is still not ready and they’re telling me that I have to wait another three months as they are busy with the electrical cabling.” To add insult to injury, the new tenant is already being billed for services she doesn’t have any use of yet. “I am being billed every month for rates which includes water, electricity and refuse removal. I have been paying the bill every month since July but do not have use of the services,” she adds. Her rates cost just over R200 a month. “There are more tenants that were supposed to move in before I was even approved. Their wait has been longer and one can only imag- ine how frustrating that must be,” she adds. The property developers Oribel Properties 35 says electrical supply to the development was finalised a month ago. “Bulk electrical supply to this site was finalised one month ago. Application for end users’ electri- cal meters has been made and is currently in installation process. Certain items like solar geysers have a lead time and could only be procured after confirmation of bulk electrical supply to the site. The first installation of solar gey- sers will be done in the month of January.” They add the developer has “cov- ered the interim interest on behalf of all buyers”. “None of the buyers are out of pocket due to delays in occupation. The complainant will have to take up any grievances with the charges being billed by the City of Cape Town. It is our understanding the City generates an invoice to new land owners for availability of services even though the owners do not make use of these services.” Mayoral Committee member for Finance Ian Neilson says the City starts billing rates and services to property owners from the date of registration at the Deeds Office. “If the property owner occupies the property prior or after the reg- istration date, the first billed ac- count for the new owner will be from the date of the Deeds Registra- tion.” ‘TIS THE SEASON: Here he is!

HERITAGE

District Six – 20 years laterThe District Six Museum this month cel-

ebrates two decades of opening itsdoors as a memorial to a decimated

community.Known as a city within a city, District Six

was considered the soul of Cape Town, saysa statement. Its bustling streets, diverse andcolourful residents and deep sense of com-munity are engrained in the memory ofthose who once lived there.

“InFebruary 1966 itwasdeclaredawhites-only area under the Group Areas Act. By1982, the life of this vibrant community wasover.”

More than 60 000 people were forcibly re-moved and the buildings were flattened bybulldozers, the statement reads.

In honour of its 20th birthday, the muse-um will pay tribute to and celebrate the oncevibrant community by reflecting on 20 ob-jects, places and people which “truly epito-mise life in the former District Six”.

These are:. The Van Kalker Studio – Proudly hang-

ing above the family mantelpiece, the all-fa-miliar sight of a Van Kalker photographcould be found in the homes ofmanyDistrictSix residents. The Van Kalker studio in Vic-toria Street became a routine visit for spe-cial events like birthdays, weddings, gradu-ations and christenings.

. Waentjies – To get their fresh produce,residents looked no further than the localfruit and vegetable seller ‘waentjies’, whowould set up shop on Hanover Street.

. Fish horn – The nasal sound of fishhorns signalled the day’s fresh catch. Withfish piled high, residents would flock to thepungent Fish Market (‘vismarkie’) to gettheir share.

. Hanover Street – Dubbed ‘the hub’ ofDistrict Six, Hanover Street was the placewhere you could acquire anything and eve-

rything.. Peninsula Maternity Hospital – Situat-

ed between Constitution, Primrose, Caledonand Mount streets, this hospital is wherethousands of District Six residents wereborn.

. Seven Steps – For anyone who lived inthe old District Six, the ‘Seven Steps’ is apowerful symbol of their heritage. To work,home, school, play, church, mosque, shop,celebrate and mourn, these steps carriedthousands of residents on their way.

. Bioscopes – Going to local bioscopes ona Saturday afternoon was a regular treat forresidents and occupied a special position inthe recreational life of the community. TheAvalon, Star, National and the British Bio-scopes doubled as venues for beauty pag-eants, talent shows and musicals.

. Crescent Café – People journeyed fromfar and wide to sample the curry at Mr Kath-rada’s Crescent Cafe in Hanover Street.

. Beinkinstadt – Judaica bookstore – Inits early years, The Beinkinstadt Jewishbookstore was a meeting place for the localJews who, on Friday evenings, would con-gregate there to enjoy the heimishe ‘openhouse’ hospitality of ownersMosheandOlgaBeinkinstadt.

. Kewpie – District Six was legendary forits gay community in the 1950s and Kewpie,the local drag queen, became a figureheadfor District Six’s vibrant characters.

. Koe’sisters – Food played a central rolein the lives of the District Six community.The traditional koe’sister, a delicious spiceddoughnut dipped in syrup and rolled in drycoconut, remains a Sunday morning treatamong District Sixers.

. Fah-fee – Fafi or fa-fi (pronounced fah-fee) was a popular betting game played inDistrict Six, and has been described as the‘poor man’s Roulette’.

. Richard Rive –Rive was a formerresident and thewell-known writerof the acclaimedBuckingham Pal-ace.

. Lydia Wil-liams – Affection-ately known as ‘OuTamelytjie’, Wil-liams was a formerslave woman whosettled in DistrictSix. She estab-lished a school inthe area and was afounding memberof St Philip’s Angli-can Church.

. May Abra-hamse – Abra-hamse started sing-ing at age 14 andwent on to becomeone of South Afri-ca’smost prolific opera singers.Withher tal-ent and support from theEoanGroup – a the-atre and dance group – she played leadingsoprano roles inLaTraviata,LaBohemeandMadame Butterfly.

. Globe Gang – The Globes – one of themost notorious gangs ofDistrict Six – initial-ly started out as a vigilante group, takingtheir name from the Globe Furnishing Com-pany.

. Music of District Six – The music of Dis-trict Six is legendary…one of the leadinglights of Cape jazz was Dollar Brand (laterknown as Abdullah Ibrahim) who, with hisJazz Epistles, recorded the first jazz LP byblack South African musicians.

. TheRose andCrown–One cannot forgetthe many pubs of District Six. The Rose andCrown was a particular hot spot in HanoverStreet.

. Horse Drawn Carriages – There werethe horse-drawn wedding parades to look

forward to on weekends, where little girlswould eagerly anticipate the beautiful wed-ding parades that took place most Sundays.

. Malay and Christmas Choirs and klopse– On Christmas and New Year’s Eve, resi-dents would prepare to stay up through thenight to watch the Malay and ChristmasChoirs proceed from Tennant Street to Cale-don Street, up Wale Street and ending downat theGrandParade,where theklopsewouldbegin celebrations well into New Year’sevening.

Visitors are encouraged to book a person-alised tour through the museum with aformer resident ofDistrict Six, for a truly au-thentic experience. Or enjoy self-guidedtours during normal opening hours.

ICONIC: The Seven Steps in District Six. PHOTO: JANSJE WISSEMA

Back in timeThe latest scientific evidence showsthat the first modern humans livedat the coast on the southern tip of Af-rica from around 200 000 years ago.

The archaeological records at thePoint ofHumanOrigin show the firstevidence of cognitive human devel-opment, early nuclear family life,and human traits that we associatewith modern humans today.

Starting at about 100 000 years ago,we see a big shift in human con-sciousness in the records that indi-cate knowledge of basic chemistry,jewellery and art.

In partnership with Wavescape,Pick n Pay, WWF-Sassi, ART54 andprovincial government, the exhibi-tion takes place from December 2014to April 2015. For more informationon the exhibition visit www.seach-angeproject.com.

There’s a new sheriff in townCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

He’s committed to making a change inthe Grassy Park community. And,says the new station commander at

Grassy Park Police Station, he is ready forthe challenge.Colonel Shawn van Wyk was introduced

as the new station commander lastweek andsayshe is ready toworkwith the communityand crime fighters in the area to make it amore peaceful neighbourhood.VanWyk spoke at a meeting held with the

interim Community Police Forum (CPF)body and neighbourhood watches from thearea on Thursday 11 December.He highlighted what he intends to do for

the station and how he would make resi-dents of Grassy Park feel safer.“We need to understand that communica-

tion is the integral part between the policestation and the community.Weneed toworkon opening these channels again. We wantthe community to trust us andmake the sta-tion more approachable,” Van Wyk said.He added that he “loves listening to the

community and their concerns”.

“We need to get themandate from our com-munity so we can under-stand their concerns andplights. We have a re-sponsibility to make ourcommunities feel safe.This station is not the po-lice’s station. It is thecommunity’s police sta-tion,” he stressed.He further emphasised

that the service desk atthe police station shouldbe treated as a clientdesk.“The community will

be treated with respectand dignity. We will doall we can to ensure ourresidents are comforta-ble to come to the stationfreely so we may hear their concerns. Thegood name of this station will be restored,”he said.Speaking to the CPF, Van Wyk said the

body needs to serve the community to itsfullest capacity. He said that “small matters

would be attended to im-mediately – no matterhow small they mayseem.”“Small concerns in our

communities can quicklyspiral out of control. Thisis where all our biggerproblems stem from.That is why we tacklethese issues at the rootand nip them in the budso they won’t harass ourcommunities longer thannecessary,” he said.He urged the CPF to be-

come openly available tothe community. “As aCPF body, you have a re-sponsibility to serve thecommunity. No matterhow trivial a matter may

seem to any of us, if it bothers the communi-ty we have to do all we can to rectify that.”Van Wyk said the image of the police sta-

tion would also be looked at to make it moreapproachable for the community.“When I came in here my first day, I must

admit, the station looked untidy. Itwas dirtywhen I stepped in and definitely did not looklike a place where you can talk to people andmake them feel at ease. We will definitelylook after the image of this police station.”He added that if the community talks bad-

ly of thepolice station, theyare talkingbadlyabout themselves.Van Wyk said the priority at the moment

in the precinct is gang violence.“We will deal with gang violence with a

firm hand. We cannot allow these gangsterstokeepour communitieshostage,” he added.The neighbourhood watch representa-

tives who attended themeeting warmly wel-comed the new station commander to the po-lice station and vowed to workwith him andthe station tomake theGrassyPark precincta safer place.CPFchairpersonAbeBraaf saidhe is look-

ing forward to working with the new colo-nel.“We look forward to a great working rela-

tionship with the new station commander.VanWyk was transferred from Strand Po-

2014

The year that wasCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

As theyeardraws toa close,People’sPostreflects on the year that was.

JanuaryIllegal scrap dealers got a stern warning af-ter it was revealed that dealers add to theft.Unsavoury characters and criminals loiter-ing in the area were also blamed on the ille-gal scrap dealers attracting them to the com-munity.

FebruaryAbductions of primary school pupils

sparked concern in theGrassyParkprecinctwhen a girl was almost abducted on her wayhome from school.The community was on high alert after it

was made known that a group of men weredriving around in the precinct, luring pri-mary school pupils into an unidentified car.Twopupilswere lucky to avoid abduction byrunning awaywhen approached by themen.

MarchBusinesses in Grassy Park and Lotus Riv-

er became easy targets for robberies. Policewarned all owners to take the necessary pre-

cautions during the spate of robberies. Fivebusinesses were robbed in a month whichincluded armed robberies.These incidents led to deaths and injuries

of innocent victims.

AprilFollowing complaints about police not as-

sisting neighbourhoodwatches, theMisroleNeighbourhoodWatch receive a pledge fromthe Grassy Park Police Station that theywould work with the crime fighters.The watch said they were not getting as-

sistance from the men in blue and struggledwith response times from the station.After sector policingwas re-instated in the

area, the police assured thiswouldbe a thingof the past.

MayResidents of Cafda Village took a stand

against crime when they marched to a parkin Peter Charles Way which is known forgang-related activity.The march was spurred on after three

young people were killed and was aimed atgiving support to those who lost loved onesthrough gangsterism. The country’s fifthdemocratic election also took place onWednesday 7 May.

JuneResidents of Ottery Flats

were disappointed after therefurbishment to their flatscame to an abrupt halt. Thework stopped after FilconProjects, which was award-ed the tender, filed for bank-ruptcy. The contract valuewas estimated at R28m. Fil-con Projects was the secondcontractor appointed for therefurbishment after the firstcontractor was instructed toterminate duties followingshoddy workmanship.

JulyNeighbourhood watches

expressed concern over pos-sible prostitution on Victo-ria Road outside GrassyPark Hotel. This came tolight during a public meet-ing. Concerns were raisedover illicit activity taking place outside thehotel when drunk patrons left the establish-ment. Patrons also often became victims ofrobbery when they were offered services bywomen frequenting outside the hotel.

AugustLotus River Clinic was closed down pre-

maturely due to vandalismand break-ins oc-curring at the facility. The clinic was closeddown three years ahead of its expected lifeexpectancy. The facility was also affected bygang violence where shootings often tookplace. Patients were referred to the KlipRoad Clinic.

SeptemberFed-upwith gangviolence, Parkwood resi-

dents took to the streets to voice their con-cerns. Amarch took placewhere clergymen,residents and members of local governmentmarched with placards and chants urginggangs to end gang violence.

OctoberA proposal for a waste facility was met

withmuch conflict after the article appearedin People’s Post. Residents of Parkwood op-posed the motion to have the waste drop-offfacility housed on a field running adjacentto Prince George Drive. The council-owned

land has been vacant and the facility wasproposed by the City of Cape Town due tothe closure of the Ladies Mile waste drop-offfacility.

NovemberGrassy Park Police Stationwas labelled as

the poorest performing police station in theWynberg Cluster during a Policing Needsand Prioritiesmeeting hosted by theDepart-ment of Community Safety. Cluster com-mander Brigadier Aaron Mlenga made thisbold statement during a public meetingwhere crime issues were addressed. Duringthemeeting residents were fired up over theissues plaguing the area including gang vio-lence and mismanagement at the station.

DecemberPlans to elect a newCommunity Police Fo-

rum (CPF) in Grassy Park was put on holdafter the failure to follow to the correct proc-esses. The interimCPFbody cameunder fireas no reportswere available to present to thecommunity. Residents called for a postpone-mentuntil thenewyear for a fully functionalbody to be electedwith the correct processesbeing followed. The month also saw the sta-tion commander being removed from thestation and a new station commander wasintroduced to the area.

ADDITIONAL SPACE: Councillor Shanen Rossouw announcedthat the Klip Road Cemetry would be upgraded and extended.

‘BOTCHED ABORTION’

Chargedfor murderMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A Retreat woman appeared in theWyn-berg Magistrate’s Court this week onmurder charges after an alleged

botched abortion.According to Wynberg police the woman

posed as a registered nurse and operated aclinic on Main Road in Wynberg.On Sunday 30 November, police were

called to a bloody scene after a 35-year-oldWestlake woman had died at the clinic.Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Sil-

vino Davids says the woman’s friend toldpolice they went to the nurse after beingturned down by other facilities.“Theywere told shewas too far along and

they could not abort the baby,” he says.They foundapamphlet from the clinic ad-

vertising abortions and the Westlake wom-an went to see the nurse.She was informed the abortion would

cost R5 000. She paid a deposit of R2 200 andwas given six tablets to take.Davids says later that day the woman be-

came ill and returned to the clinic.She was bleeding and the nurse said she

was going to give her oxygen by “puttingher in a bath”.The bath reportedly had a spa bath mat

which generated bubbles.“This was the nurse’s version of giving

her patient oxygen,” Davids says.The woman died in the bath shortly be-

fore her boyfriend arrived on the scene.Davids says the nurse instructed the boy-

friend to take the woman’s body with him,

but he refused and called police to thebloody scene.The nurse reportedly cleaned the clinic

and placed the items used to clean up theblood in bags. These were taken by the po-lice forensic team.Officers searched for evidence of the foe-

tus but later realised part of the foetus wasstill inside the deceased woman.Police confiscatedvariousmedical equip-

ment from the scene, including a medicalvacuum used in abortions. They are nowtrying to verify the nurse’s certification.Health department spokesperson

Sithembiso Magubane says only qualifiedpractitioners are allowed to carry out Ter-mination of Pregnancy (TOP) procedures.He explains any girl or women can ask

for a TOP in the first three months (12weeks) of pregnancy. “It is important to actquickly if an unwanted pregnancy is sus-pected. If you are three to fivemonths preg-nant, a different set of rules apply for TOP,”Magubane says.After three months he explains a doctor

will only carry out the procedure if thereis a risk to the physical or mental healthof the woman or foetus, if having the babywill cause major social or economic prob-lems for themother or if thewoman is preg-nant as a result of rape or incest.“The service, however, must still be re-

quested at a primary healthcare clinic.”He urges women to report illegal abor-

tions to police.V Police are calling on anyone who went to the clinicfor a medical procedure to call Constable CarmelitaJones on (021) 799 1300.

DONATION

Cash boost for SPCAIn the wake of a devastating fire, a R20 000donation to the Cape of Good Hope SPCAwill come as a welcomed relief.The donation is by Liberty Corporate to

restore the SPCA premises as a “place ofhope” for so many animals. The fire de-stroyed the centre’s charity shop in GrassyPark, which was a vital part of the centre

and served to raise funds for the centre.The fire was noticed by a motorist pass-

ing by who saw smoke coming from thepremises and quickly alerted the fire de-partment.They tried their best to contain the fire

but unfortunately the charity shop was de-stroyed.SPCA chief executive officer Allan Per-

rins says the fire “represented a loss to theSPCA and the community, many of whomrely on the charity shop for much neededitems which are sold here. The donation byLiberty and the immediate nature of theirsupport means we will be able to get theshop up and running in a short time”.Liberty Corporate’s acting chief execu-

tive officer Deon Swart says: “We are proudof our association with the organisationand the great work they do for the commu-nity and we are happy we could assist inthis time of need.”

Pothole patch­upIn at least 80% of cases, a total of 47 teamsfrom20 depotsmeet theCity of CapeTown’sbenchmark of fixing a pothole within 72hours of a report.“This is averyhigh standard tomaintain,

given the fact that the city’s road networkcomprises 10 629kmand every inch of it hasto be managed by Transport for Cape Town(TCT),” says Mayoral Committee memberfor Transport for Cape Town, Brett Herron.“It is quite an achievement that over 80%

of potholes are fixed within three dayswhen each of the 47 teams has to repair atleast 260 potholes every month.”Residents report at least 250 potholes to

the City’s call centre every week and theotherpotholes are identifiedby the supervi-sory staff at TCT’s depots.A C3 (fault reporting notification) is gen-

erated for every pothole that is reported viathe City’s fault reporting system.This report is sent to the relevant area de-

pot, which passes it on to the responsiblecrew to undertake the repairs.This administrative process can take up

to a day, but in most cases it is handledwithin a matter of hours.The team will inspect the site and make

the road safe for road users, either by re-pairing the pothole or by demarcating thearea if an immediate repair is not possible.“Sometimes delays are caused by inclem-

ent weather, the unavailability of asphaltto fix the potholes, or the breakdown ofequipment.“However, one of our biggest challenges

is that the wrong information in relation tothe location and address of the pothole isoften reflected on the C3 notification sys-tem.“In this instance residents can greatly as-

sist TCT by providing the correct address-es,” Herron says.Residents are invited to phone

0860 103 089 to report potholes or use theTCT application.

MOTHER CITY LIGHTS UP: Thousands of people flocked to the CBD on Sunday for the annualswitching on of the festive lights.

PARENTING

Keep thechildren safeC hild safety should be at the forefront

of adults’ priorities this festive season.This is according to a statement

from the City of Cape Town, as it encourag-es parents and guardians to be extra vigi-lant over the holiday period. In recentweeks, there has already been a number ofreports of children disappearing, childabuse and neglect, it states.Furthermore, council’s social develop-

ment department urges parents to not instila sense of trust by introducing their chil-dren to people whom they themselves arenot that familiar with.Parents must always know where their

children are; ensuring they are supervisedby a responsible caregiver; teach them notto go anywherewith strangers; ensure chil-dren know their friends and where theylive; have current photographs of childrenin the event that they go missing; and in-

form the police as soon as they suspect achild is missing.“I want to call on communities to keep an

eye on one another’s children and to makechild safety your business,” says SuzetteLittle, Mayoral Committee member for So-cial Development and Early Childhood De-velopment. “A few weeks ago, we had a re-ported case of a child who suffered such se-vere abuse at the hands of her parents thatshe ended up in hospital. According to thereport, the neighbours finally acted whenthey couldn’t stand it anymore, whichmeans that they knew the child was beingabused.”She says the department is rolling out

services such as advice centres and aidfrom social workers at its district offices.V Report child abuse to the police or the City’s PublicEmergency Communication Centre on 107 from alandline or (021) 480 7700.

TRAFFIC PLAN

A sternwarning tocity driversTraffic officers are stepping up their

game in a bid to reduce the numberof road accidents and ensure safer

roads in the province over the festive sea-son.At the launch of the provincial Festive

Season Traffic Operational Plan lastweek, provincial transportminister Don-ald Grant said despite a decrease in roadfatalities during the period last year, hisdepartment is determined to further low-er the number. He further called on roadusers to be extra vigilant on the roads.Between 1 December last year and the

end of January, 221 people were killed onthe province’s roads, Grant explained. Atotal of 230 people died in road accidentsduring the same period the previousyear.“In the 2013 calendar year, 1 216 lives

were lost on our province’s roads. Roadinjuries and death in this province costthe [province’s] economy an estimatedR21bn – more than either the province’shealth or education budgets,” he said.“The picture is evenmore grim nation-

ally, with an estimated 17 000 lives lostannually. The national Department ofTransport estimates road trauma costs tothe South African economy at R306bn an-nually, which is money that should be di-rected to improving levels of service de-livery.”Therefore, the department’s Safely

Home campaign has launched amultime-dia campaign focused on the dangers as-

sociated with alcohol and road use.Furthermore, the department is the on-

ly traffic service which operates aroundthe clock, Grant added, and this will in-tensify over the coming weeks. The offic-ers will particularly focus on motoristsdrivingunder the influenceof alcohol; ex-cessive speeding; average speed over dis-tance (ASOD); driver fatigue manage-ment; driver and vehicle fitness; distract-ed driving; pedestrian safety; seatbeltcompliance; inter-provincial operations;licence plates; safe following distances;and the transportation of illegal sub-stances and illicit cigarettes.Grant also urged residents to refrain

from speeding and driving under the in-fluence of alcohol and illegal substances;being extra mindful of pedestrians; notusing cellphones while driving; and al-ways wearing a seatbelt.“Apart from roadside activities, traffic

officials will also promote visible trafficpolicing and operational readiness, in-cluding the further implementation ofour successful ‘sticker project’, targetedspecifically at public transport vehiclesthat will be embarking on long trips.”Road users can phone the Emergency

Traffic Control Centre on (021) 812 4581;Roadside Emergencies on 10177; or theCity of Cape Town call centre on(021) 596 1999.V View the department’s campaign on the SafelyHome website at www.safelyhome.western-cape.gov.za.

Don’t ask for ‘gifts’ – City warnsThismaybe the season of giving, but councilis warning residents not to give donationsto its personnel.According to a City of Cape Town state-

ment, its Solid Waste Management Depart-ment enforces a policywhich forbids its stafffrom soliciting “Christmas boxes” and theyhave been reminded of the prohibition of thepractise.“However, if residents believe excellent

service has been provided, they are at liber-ty to give a voluntary donation to staff as agesture of thanks and goodwill,” says May-oral Committee member for Utility ServicesErnest Sonnenberg.“Under no circumstances may residents

be approached and asked for money; Citystaff are appropriately remunerated.”If residents are intimidated by staffers,

they are encouraged to report the incidentto the City’s call centre on 0860 103 089. Call-ers must provide the date, time, place andthe vehicle’s registration number.Refuse collection services will remain in

operation during the festive season, even onpublic holidays. “As there will be less trafficon the roads during the holiday period, col-lection teams might arrive earlier than usu-al. Therefore, it is best that residents placetheir bins out before 06:00 during this time,”Sonnenberg advises.Drop-off facilities will be closed on Christ-

mas (Thursday 25 December) and NewYear’s days (Thursday 1 January). The HoutBay facility will be operational from 07:00until 17:00 on these days. Amended operat-ing hours of 08:00 until 17:00 will be in placeat other facilities during the festive season.

For the year that was.For the chances missed and the good ones that were

snapped up.For every success and mistake we’ve learnt from; for do-

overs, forgiveness and I’m-sorrys.For new opportunities and for being grateful for what we

have. For the simple things in life and for events that tookour breath away.For loved ones no longer with us and for new life.For hours spent being idle and for precious moments

where we moved as if in sync with the world around us.For growing up and learning to be humble, for living

through the pressures of life and for taking it slowly.For sharing a silly joke and for times of retrospection.For being too serious and laughing that we snort and the

tears streak a path down our cheeks.For allowing ourselves to be childish and for giving each

other the space to explore.For men who get in touch with their feminine side and

for women who can wield an axe.For children who head households and for seniors who

raise grandchildren.For generations lost and skipped through fault and bad

choices; for others who hold onto life with every fibre oftheir being.For coming and going.For all these hits and misses, thank you 2014.And as the big days of Christmas andNewYear draw ever

closer, perhaps we could spare a thought for those who arereally less able to enjoy a holiday, a roof over their heads,a meal or even time spent with loved ones.Although much is made of the 20 years into our democra-

cy, our country is still one in the thick of developing.And we’re not alone in this. So-called developed nations

also have needs. Sure, perhaps not as great as ours, but still.America, Canada and Europe all have wish lists.We are not so unique. Just maybe we can source an Afri-

can solution for Africa’s problems, starting in 2015.

Welcome, new commanderThe past Sunday a delegation of the Park-wood Community Forum (CPF) and somecommunity members handed over a memo-randum with demands and concerns toGrassy Park Police Station.It is a sad day indeedwhen the publicmust

revert to such drastic action, especially con-cerning our local law enforcement officials.It is a sad daywhen such drasticmeasures

must be taken as to remove the station com-mander, investigate officers and their ac-tions and above all the general managementof policing in our community.The very people who are supposed to be

the role models for our youth are seen aswolves dressed in sheep clothing.Our communities are riddled with crime,

gangsterism,prostitutionandsomanyothersocial ills which need to be investigated, notthe police.The CPF needs to be functional. Our

neighbourhood watches deserve better. Sec-

tor policing is non- existent inParkwood.Allbecause of a dysfunctional police station.But all is not lost. There are committed po-

lice officers. There are those who live up totheir calling as a servant of the people.To those officers we say ‘thank you’.The bad apples are being removed from

Grassy Park police. As a community we de-serve better services from police.To the newly appointed station command-

er: We welcome you to our community. Wewill pray for you. We will support you.We need to take back our streets, our sen-

iorsmust feel safe again, parentsmust be as-sured their children are safe to attend schoolor play in the parks, we need to return backto a “normal” society.Let theGrassy ParkPolice Station become

the model station in the cluster. It can bedone! Make us proud again.PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPS,Parkwood

Housing on mountains?Are our mountains being prepared for highcost housing? Seems sinister consideringthe plight for housing and limited space forhousing in Cape Town. When will we come

to know of the sale of natural land? How canthe natural environment can be sold?R SEMAAR,Grassy Park

Prices damper Christmas spiritI do not as a norm buy groceries at differentstores. But I am a bodyguard and a labourerpushing trolleys and during these exercisesI started observing the price tags.For months I watched the prices and sud-

denly in the last week I could not help butnotice how the cost of food had gone up.We were in a shop to buy boerewors for

our monthly pap en vleis when we saw theprice of the boerewors. I dropped the packetsin shock.My wife remarked: “Die pryse het skielik

sky high gespring.”Looking at the high cost of food, consum-

ers will have to drastically cut the festiveseason table. The extremely high priceshave made us look only after number one.The only logical conclusion to come to is

that businesses realise that in the silly sea-

son Christmas savings and bonuses aretheirs for the taking.Festive pay packets are in the hands of on-

ly a few compared to the millions withoutwork, the poor and social grants recipients.So who can be merry and jolly?We should protest by not buying exces-

sively priced foods, leave them on theshelves and hope by the sell-by date – hope-fully before Christmas – these items will be-come specials which are affordable and [re-store an atmosphere of a] merry Christmasand happy New Year.Shop owners, we agree you need to make

a profit. But keep it in linewith price controland let others live and survive just as youand yours want to live.KEITH BLAKE,Ottery

Your SMS. Every time you read pleas from the policefor the community toworkwith them to stopcrime, but it’s not the fault of the communi-ty. The police need to change their mindsetand help the community.

. Well done, Parkwood community!Whenwill the rolled out plan happen in St Mon-taque Village?

. I have a problem with the school thatdoes not want to issue my child’s report.

. Yes, schools must withhold results be-cause the parents had 11 months to pay thefees. They just don’t want to pay it.

. True, butwhat if a parent is unemployedlike me? I tried paying, but I owe R700 andmy son did not receive his report. Does thatmean if I am unemployed my son can’t at-tend school?

. Of course not. How can you penalise thepupil if the parents can’t afford to pay theschool fees? Do you think parents want theirchildren tobehumiliated if they could affordthe fees?

. My childrens’ reports were withheld asI can’t pay their school fees. I’m unem-ployed. Whomust I turn to?My children arereally upset, as their teachers told them theywill not get their reports unless the fees arepaid.

. It is absolutely shocking that schoolsshould withhold reports for not paying fees.It happened to my grandson. What’s worseis that his fees were paid in full. He is notthe only one; many children left school dis-appointed. Sidney du Preez

. As a parent, I don’t think it is fair thatschools withhold reports, because we wantto know their results. Many children workhard topass, but becauseyouoweschool feesthe reports are withheld. What can they dowith your child’s results? Nothing. So it’s avery good thing that schools cannot with-hold reports.

. The education department should sup-port schools for a change. I’ma guardian andalso have struggles, but I place school feeson top ofmy list of priorities, as it’s the rightthing todo. Inmost casesparentswastemon-ey on unnecessary things and simply refuseto pay school fees. This article angers me.It costs parents more when they are handedover to lawyers.V Share your thoughts.

Vehicle checklist for holiday seasonBefore hitting the road this holiday, checkthe following:

V Tyres: Check air pressure of your tyres,including the spare.

V Batteries: Weak batteries can lead tobreakdowns.

V Brakes: An inspection can determinewhether brakes are functioning properlywith full braking capability.

V Windshield wipers: Old or worn wind-shield wipers can lead to poor visibility.

V Headlamps: Properly aimed head-lamps are a must for optimal visibility, fit-ting Xenon Headlight Bulbs will improveyour visibility as they are 50% brighter

than standard lights.V Oil: Change oil and filter at recom-

mended intervals to minimise engine wearand reduce the possibility of internal dam-age.

V Fluid levels: Improper fluid levels(coolant, oil, power steering, transmission,brake fluid and even washer solvent) cannegatively affect vehicle performance.

V Belts and hoses: A broken belt or rup-tured hose can cause costly engine dam-age.

V Ensure all weekly checks recommend-ed in the owner’s handbook have been per-formed and obey road signs. carsguide.com

NEW TECHNOLOGY

Preventing crashToyota has revealed a range of high-tech

vehicle crash-prevention technology.Toyota’s “integrated safety manage-

ment concept” is designed towork in concertto reduce the number of road crashes.The features were announced at a safety

seminar in Toyota City, Japan, and is set tobe launched in new models in 2015. Toyotais also creating “active safety” packages forvarious vehicles thatwill be available by theend of 2017.At a blind junction even the best vehicle-

cameras and sensors can’t give a clearwarn-ing of hazards. Toyota has worked to elimi-nate the risk with new “vehicle-to-infra-structure and vehicle-to-vehiclecommunications” technology, using a wire-less frequency reserved for Integrated Traf-fic System (ITS) services.For example, if you arrive at junctionwith

no clear view, sensors will detect oncomingtraffic or pedestrians and send the informa-tion to your car, what Toyota calls the “vehi-cle-to-infrastructure system”.Toyota says: “Vehicles approaching the

intersectionwill signal their presence usingthe vehicle-to-vehicle link, activating visualand audio warnings when necessary to helpprevent an accident.”Toyota has developed a new radar cruise-

control to make it easier for preceding andfollowing vehicles to maintain safe follow-ingdistances. It uses a “forward-facingmilli-metre-wave” radar to monitor the distancebetween vehicles ahead and behind, relativespeeds and the acceleration/deceleration ofthe leading car.Automakers are already using such sys-

tems with a consequent improvement insafety, congestion and fuel-efficiency.Toyota says it develops its ITS-compatible

systems in collaboration with governmentbodies, agencies and private companies.

In 2013 Toyota participated in an ITSGreen Safety public-private project to assessthe social effects of such systems. It will alsotake part in the ITSConnect PromotionCon-sortium to support the development of envi-ronments for the smooth introduction ofsuch systems and their widespread adop-tion.Toyota, already implementing auto high

beam and adaptive lighting systems, is de-veloping its next-generation system to deliv-er improved night-time illumination – its“array adaptive high-beam” using LEDs.A similar system was launched recently

by Mercedes-Benz on its CLS in South Afri-ca.The system uses multiple, independently

controlled LEDs arranged in a single row.This gives wider illumination without daz-zling drivers of oncoming or preceding vehi-cles. It can light up the gaps between vehi-cles ahead and those approaching, makingit easier to spot pedestrians.Light distribution is also linked to use of

the steeringwheel, givingbetter visibility asyou turn into a bend.Toyota’s new Safety Sense active safety

package will include an auto high beamfunction.From 2015, Toyota will launch a new set

of active safety technologies designed tohelpprevent or mitigate collisions. Two SafetySense packageswill be launched, initially inJapan and subsequently in the USA and Eu-rope, by the end of 2017.The two packages, designated C and P for

mid-size and larger vehicles respectively,use several of Toyota’s existing active safetytechnologies, including its pre-crash safetysystem, lane keep assist and auto high beam.The C package uses a laser radar and the

P package a millimetre-wave radar, eachcombined with a camera.

AUDI

RS3 for SAAudi has confirmed its monstrous RS3

Sportback is headed for South Africaequipped with the automaker’s most

powerful production five-cylinder engine, atribute to Audi’s classic cars of the 1980’s.

The latest evolution of the 2.5 five-cylin-der TFSI can make 270kW/465Nm, sent viathe seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch trans-mission to ‘quattro’ all-wheel-drive.

PowerfulFuel consumption is listed as 8.1F/100km

with emissions of 189g/km – which shouldbe something to behold.

Anyway, Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi’sboard member for technical development,told Wheels24: “There’s a long tradition offive-cylinder engines at Audi. In the 1980sthey turned Audi into a sport brand – onroad, track and rallies. This new Audi RS3Sportback has the latest generation of our2.5 five – the most powerful production en-gine in the modular transverse matrix.”

LightAudi’s hottest RS3 rockets to 100km/h in

4.3sec and will keep on accelerating untilelectronically stopped at 250km/h (or280km/h if, Audi says, you have “regularautobahn access”).

Which is a bit of a crockbecausemost sec-tions of such roads are not speed-limited –the coveted black diagonal band across awhite background is fast-disappearing.

Its light construction has shed 55kg to1 520kg, despite more equipment and crashprotection/avoidance features.

LowerCompared to the standard A3 Sportback,

the RS3’s body sits 25mm lower.

Track is 1.5mmwider and the suspensionhas high-strength aluminium bearings.

The rear axle, which has a width of 1.5m,is a four-link construction with rods ofhigh-strength steel that handle longitudi-nal and lateral forces separately.

It has ventilated disc brakes, 370mm atthe front and 310mm at the rear, with blackeight-piston fixed callipers (red’s an option)and bearing RS logos.

BrakeBuyers can also choose carbon fibre-rein-

forced ceramic brake discs at the front(370mm), with grey callipers.

In terms of design, it has a gloss black,honeycomb grille with aluminium frameand RS badging.

The front also gains larger air intakesand a generally more sporty treatment.

It has new door sills, aluminium externalmirrors, a large roof spoiler, re-modelledbumpers (with black diffusers) and newoval tailpipes.

Optional extras include 19” titanium orblack alloy rims instead of the standard 19”five-spoked. The cabin has leather sportseats and flat-bottomed leather-clad RSmultifunction sports steering wheel.

SeatsIt has steel pedals, leather door inserts,

the inlays of which can be black, alumini-um or carbon-fibre. The instruments areframed in black with black-faced dials, redneedles and white scales. The car-informa-tion system is enhancedbyaboost-pressureindicator, oil temperature gauge and laptimer.

The new Audi RS3 Sportback will arrivein SA in 2015. – Wheels24

The performance version of Audi’s A3, the RS3 Sportback, will arrive in South Africa later in 2015.

weekend’s NFD encounters.The People’s Team, Santos, regained their

winning form on Friday evening at the Ath-lone Stadium with a narrow 1-0 win overneighbours Vasco da Gama. The visitorslookedmore threatening and played the bet-ter football, yet, it was Santos who openedup the scoring when Carl Lark found theback of the net in the 37th minute.

FaroukAbrahams’ side defendedwell andheld onto their one-goal lead, and ultimatelywent on to claim the victory following theirthree-match losing streak. Both FC CapeTown and Milano reside in the top five onthe NFD table, which meant a tough contestat theNNKRugbyStadium.SibusisoMasinagave the African Beasts a 1-0 lead into thebreak, but Devon Saal found the back of thenet late in the game to ensure the two sidesshared the spoils.

It’s all aboutthe BayDUDLEY CARSTENS

In only three seasons, False Bay RugbyClub have gone from Super League B con-tenders to participants in the Western

Province/Boland regional CommunityChallenge.In their first year back in Western Prov-

ince’s Super League A, Bay secured fifthplace on the log this tear and booked them-selves a spot in the regional tournamentnext year. They will be joined by Belhar, SKWalmers, Primrose and a team from thePaarl Region to represent Western Provinceagainst the best teams from Boland.Baywill face Vredenburg in their opening

fixture of the tournament on Saturday 14February, while last season’s winners Dur-banville-Bellville will not be there to defendtheir crown as theywill compete in theCom-munity Cup tournament.While Bay will be one of the favourites to

mount a serious challenge for the trophy, thetournament will also provide them the op-portunity of testing their depth before next

year’s league season kicks off.Speedy winger Taalieb Johnson tells Peo-

ple’s Post: “It will be a good time to test thedepth at the club and to give guys [fringeplayers or youngsters coming through the‘system’] a shot at playing in league. Theguys have put in a lot of effort [over the off-season] and we will start playing friendlymatches in January already.”Personally, Johnson says he wants to find

“form heading into the league” when play-ing in the Community Challenge.Meanwhile, this year’s Shield finalists SK

Walmers will tackle Never Despair in theiropening encounter, while Primrosewill facelast season’s runners-upHawston in a trickytie.Belhar, who finished a respectable sev-

enth in the WP Super League this year, willface Roses in the opening round.Theopening roundof fixtures onSaturday

Sports facilities across the Cape are fall-ing prey to acts of brazen vandalismand theft.

A total of 55 sports complexes have beenvandalised and burgled from April to lastmonth. A staggering 217 incidents have beenreported during this period, the City of CapeTown confirms.

And sports clubs and Municipal FacilityManagement Committees are calling on theCity to step up security at its facilities, asthey fear the continuous criminal activitiesmay stifle and end operations and play at theorganisations and facilities.

Bennet Bailey, chairperson of the RygateLocal Football Association (LFA) whichcalls Johnson Road Sports Complex in Ry-lands its home, says vandals stripped the fa-cility to its core in the first week of October– only a couple of weeks after the end of thefootball season. He claims the damage in-curred as a result of the vandalism amountsto R200 000, a cost which they cannot cover.

“The interior of the clubhouse wasstripped bare; all the cabling and wiring wasremoved. The wiring of the floodlights was

also removed and the electricity box was re-moved and damaged,” Bailey explains.

Similarly, chairperson of the Metropoli-tan LFA Wayne Weitz says the MetropolitanSports Complex in Bonteheuwel was hit atthe end of October. As a result of the inci-dent, which saw the facility stripped to re-semble a shell, the organisation had in-curred the extra expense of having to replacethe trophies and medals for its annualprizegiving days before the event.

“Everything was fine during the seasonexpect for the odd burglary, but when theseason ended and there was less activity atthe facility, the criminals pounced,” he says.

“The MFMC is constantly reminded thatit is not the owner of the facility, but onlythe custodians. Yet the owner, the City,doesn’t take responsibility for its assets.”

In local sporting circles, Weitz adds, therehas been talk of several facilities being van-dalised over the last couple of months.“There was a time when security guardswere placed at the facility, but they informedus their contract had come to an end and thatwas the end of security,” he explains.

“The City spends millions [on] upgradesand maintaining facilities, so I believe theyshould protect it or the work will be useless.”

People’s Post has previously reported onthe burglary and vandalism of several sportsfacilities across the peninsula over the lastcouple of months. These include the StephanReagan, Rocklands and Strandfonteinsports complexes and Swartklip IndoorSports Centre in Mitchell’s Plain, the Hoos-ain Parker Sports Complex in Parkwood andthe Johnson Road Sports Complex.

Furthermore, People’s Post’s sister publi-cation TygerBurger has reported on inci-dents at the Wesbank Sports Complex, Dur-banville Sports Complex and RuyterwachtSports Complex, while its other sister publi-cation City Vision reported on an incident atthe Gugulethu and Philippi swimmingpools. Incidents of burglary and vandalismwere also reported at clubhouses at Kraai-fontein Sports Complex.

Despite the reported number of incidents,the City says it cannot provide continuoussecurity presence at the its public open spac-es and facilities.

Mayoral Committee member for Commu-nity Services and Special Projects, BelindaWalker, says a “limited budget” of R36m wasallocated for security in the Sport, Recrea-tion and Amenities Department budget.

“The department has had to rationalise

the use of security personnel at some of itsfacilities to remain within the allocatedbudget in the current financial year for secu-rity services,” she says.

“The department manages a large numberof public facilities across the city and hasidentified hotspots where facilities are par-ticularly vulnerable to theft and vandalism– security personnel will be present at thesefacilities. It is closely monitoring these facil-ities to find the most effective and financial-ly sustainable options for securing themagainst theft and vandalism.”

But human presence in the form of securi-ty guards may not be the only option, Walkeradds, as the City has invested considerablywith the erection of fences and installationof alarms. It is also working to establish part-nerships with community organisationssuch as neighbourhood watches to assistthem in deterring theft and vandalism at fa-cilities.

The City has spent R4,8m on repairs andreplacing items at facilities which have fall-en victim to theft and vandalism, Walkerconfirms. “This is money that could havebeen put to better use to either upgrade thesefacilities or provide additional facilities inareas where there are limited or no sportand recreation facilities,” she says.

“Now, more than ever, we need our com-munities to work in collaboration with usand take ownership of their recreationalspaces. We urge residents to report any sus-picious behaviour immediately.”
