PHOTO: CHEVON BOOYSEN OTTERY Thieves target taxis CHEVON BOOYSEN @ChevonBooysen T axi drivers in Ottery have become the latest target for gun-toting gangsters. And a well-known taxi association is now refusing to travel along De Wet Road. Speaking during a Grassy Park Communi- ty Police Forum (CPF) meeting last week, the Lotus River Ottery Taxi Association (LROTA) claimed taxi drivers are being robbed at gunpoint by teenagers affiliated to well-known gangs. LROTA secretary Mogamat Salie says their taxi drivers feel threatened and no longer want to service the route along De Wet Road if action isn’t taken. “Gang violence has been an issue for the past month and our taxi drivers and com- muters have often been victims of gang-re- lated crimes. When our drivers stop along De Wet Road, they, as well as our commut- ers, get robbed at gunpoint,” Salie says. He adds taxi drivers have already previ- ously been threatened on the route. “My taxi drivers are being threatened when they drive along the road. They are told ‘julle gaan afgehaal word’ (you will be killed). We are losing business this way be- cause our commuters are also afraid,” Salie says. According to him the robbers are as young as 14. “They are still youngsters. We suspect (they) are tasked with the big boss’ work. It looks as if any child is now running around with a gun and I want to know how this issue will be tackled,” he asks. Proportional councillor William Akim says this was happening in several roads and not only taxis are being targeted. “In Daniel Avenue there are three speed humps. If you slow down in this road, there are guys sitting opposite the alley waiting for cars to slow down when they drive over the speed humps. This then gives them the opportunity to rob the slow-moving cars,” Akim says. He further explains that vehicles are also targeted in Conrad Road and expressed con- cern over a high speed hump in the road. “These gangsters have set up their own speed hump in the road and it’s quite high so you can damage your car. If you slow down, they rob people in broad daylight. The community of Ottery is afraid to confront these guys because they’ll be intimated,” he adds. Salie explains the robberies start about 10:00 each day and says the suspects stand in large groups on the corners. “The windows of our taxis have already been smashed. They normally target our tax- is from that time. It will then last right through the day until after our afternoon peak, which is just after 17:00,” he says. To the question from CPF spokesperson Philip Bam whether charges were laid, Salie responded in the positive. In response, Lieutenant-Colonel Christian Esau, who attended on behalf of the station commander, said officers conduct regular patrols in the De Wet Road vicinity. “We do have a profile album of the sus- pects who operate on that stretch of road. People are more than welcome to come and ask to identify perpetrators from this album. There are visible patrols happening in that vicinity as well, but I will ensure that visibil- ity increases along that stretch of road,” Esau said. In response, Salie said he was happy with the proposal to increase patrols and ex- plained taxi drivers are willing to pay for a police van. “We will do so just to ensure the safety of our commuters,” he says.

MENTAL HEALTH
Subconscious toll of crimeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
It all happened one morning in winter. AHout Bay family was making their wayhome.Upon arrival they were accosted by three
men wearing balaclavas and armed with acrowbar. They demanded cash and two ofthe suspects took the father into the housewhere they tied him up.
Meanwhile, another suspect assaultedhis wife with a crowbar.
The criminals made off with a watch,cash, a cellphone and laptop. The woman,however, had to be hospitalised and under-go an operation on her face.
This is one of many chilling accounts ofhouse robbery provided by police. Alongwith reports such as these there are othermany horrific stories of ATM bombings,mall robberies and violent carjackings.
But as crime trends change, the affects onthe victims do so in tandem.
StressThe free counselling service LifeLine
says in a statement it is facing its hardestchallenge in 47 years.
Chairperson Glynis Depper says assist-ing victims to deal with the stress and anxi-ety caused by violent crime is currently themain subject many counsellors are assist-ing callers with.
She says while they try to keep abreastof what is happening in the country, this is-sue seemingly crept up on counsellors andis becoming more prevalent.
In her statement, Depper outlines the ef-fects of being in a constant “high alertstate”. Having herself been a victim ofcrime three times, she explains how vic-tims often alternate their lifestyles addingstress to their daily routine without notic-ing it.
SubconsciousWhen preparing to drive from point A to
B, many individuals will look for the safestroute. Depper explains while this is com-
mon practice, subconsciously crime hasconditioned the way we live our lives andunknowingly we often go out of our way toensure the safety of our loved ones and be-longings.
Highlighting the spate of mall robberieslast year and the recent mugging of SABCjournalist Vuyo Mvoko, who along with atelevision crew were robbed while filminga news segment, Depper says in recentyears criminals have become more brazenand their actions have many runningscared. “I would think twice about going toa mall these days. Even going grocery shop-ping could be dangerous,” she says.
Negative impactDepper believes amid the feelings of inse-
curity, fear and a response spectrum whichranges from anger and bitterness to paraly-sis, crime has a negative impact on our emo-tional and physical well-being as well as ourrelationships.
“The main aspect is the amount of stresswe out on ourselves to ensure we are safe.This builds up and can have very bad effectson your mental well-being and could developinto a disorder if not dealt with,” she says.
Let it outThe organisation has made an appeal for
victims to get help by letting it all out.Depper says the services provided by Life-
Line are focussed on empathy and empower-ment, supporting emotional wellness, be-lieving in the soul and connectedness of hu-mankind.
“We all share the same wounds and bro-kenness – these are the things that bind ustogether – those who have participated inour training courses will attest to this.”
In her statement Depper explains LifeLinestrives to reach out and find the tools, em-bedded in everyone that will bring healingand courage.
“Our counsellors are highly trained andoffer total confidentiality. We offer both tele-phonic and face-to-face counselling.”
She encourages victims not to be brave bytrying to understand and process what hashappened on their own. “We offer a free ser-vice and help people to just let it out. If need-ed we can refer them to another organisa-tion but the first step is to talk about the inci-dent,” Depper concludes.V For telephonic counselling call LifeLine on021 461 1111, to make an appointment to see a counsellor call 021 461 1113.

Crime in the Ottery precinct has gainedthe attention of safety authorities.On Monday 4 March provincial com-
munity safety minister Dan Plato and offi-cials continued with awareness outreachengagements on the various youth safetypartnerships available – this time in Park-wood.Ewald Botha, Plato’s spokesperson, says
the coalition with the department and com-munity is important to ensure the safety ofthe youth. “The department understandsthe necessity for our youth to be safe and tohave access to opportunities and develop-ment at safe venues. That is why our inter-ventions and meaningful partnershipsacross the board seek to help communitiescreate safer environments and for the youthto have safer alternatives available tothem,” Botha says.The department has also joined forces
with the religious fraternity in Parkwoodand forms part of the larger Youth Safetyand Religious Organisation Partnershipacross the province which has seen morethan 17 000 youngpeople benefiting from theprogramme in the December 2014 holidaysalone.“Activities on offer by the religious insti-
tutions vary from sporting activities, hik-ing, song, dance, drama and cultural activi-ties to movie screenings and youth dia-logues.Onoffer are alsoworkshops, first aidclasses, basic counselling training and exhi-bitions,” Botha elaborates.The programme activities address drugs
and substance abuse awareness, crime pre-vention, gangsterism prevention or lifeskills and training opportunities.
“The objectives of these are to build self-esteem among the youth, provide for peereducation, prevent gang recruitments andeducate ouryouths on thedangers of alcoholand drugs.”Now in its third year, the programme is
a team-upbetween the community safety de-partment and the local religious fraternityto target youth between 14 and 21 years in50 different areas across the province.“These programmes are run during the
school holidays when our youth are most atrisk of falling prey to negative social behav-iours like drug abuse and gangsterism.”He says the programme aims to “increase
safety through implementing targeted anti-social behaviour and youth initiatives”.He adds the department has encouraged
the Parkwood community to be involved in
building safer communities.A session informing the youth about bur-
saries at Northlink College and the Chrysa-lis Academy was also hosted on the day.“This is to assist in increasing youth safe-
ty by targeting our younger residents, whoare unemployed and not studying to returnto school, pursue further education or train-ing, work towards careers and have all theinformation they need to make responsiblechoices and not fall victim to negative socialbehaviour,”Resident Kamielah Garder says she is
happy that opportunities now exist for thefuture generation.Ward councillorMelanieArendse says this partnership can onlystrengthen from here on.“This is definitely a breakthrough for us
as a community,” Arendse says.
Dan Plato, minister for community safety, visited the community of Parkwood to addresscrime concerns. Plato (in striped shirt) has been a frequent visitor to the area.

CRIME
Call for safetyplan ideasCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A safety plan has been identified to helpcurb crime in the Grassy Park pre-cinct.
This comes after the Grassy Park Com-munity Police Forum (CPF) held their an-nual meeting on Tuesday 10 March.Together with ward councillors and resi-
dents crime concerns were communicatedduring the meeting and the CPF has wel-comed suggestions from the community toassist them in eradicating crime.CPF spokesperson Philip Bam said seven
areas of concern were identified. “Our firstarea of concern is thatwehave a lack of visi-ble policing in the area. We need our policeto bemore in our areas and they can do thisby patrolling in the side roads as well andnot just the main streets,” Bam said.The CPF has also called on law enforce-
ment agencies to interact with the commu-nity. “We need to increase our policing re-sources and visibility in the areawhichwilldefinitely deter the criminal elements fromthe anti-social behaviour,” he added.Another crime concern in the area was
house break-ins and a suggestion from theCPF was for police to increase stop-and-searches.“Our communities also have to report loi-
terers and strangers. No one knows our are-as better thanwe do sowe need to be proact-ive in fighting crime.”Bam added: “Our residents need to report
crimes in their area. They should not be de-spondent to report crimes because then theperpetrators cannot be brought to book.”Another crime concern was the increase
of theft of and theft out of motor vehicles,Bam said.“We need our police to be vigilant of sus-
picious vehicles in our area. Residentsshould also be very careful never to leavevaluables in full sight in their car. Thismakes you an easy target and we should becareful not to be negligent ourselves.”The CPF added that a business forumwill
be launched in the Grassy Park area.“We have had a spike in business robber-
ies in ourprecinct over thepast fewmonths.Launching a business forum will ensurethat we can deal with the spike in businessrobberies with a more focused approach.”Added to the crime concerns in the pre-
cinct was drug peddling, illegal shebeens,gangsterism and drag racing.“With drug peddling we want effective

have called on the communities to opposeliquor applications in residential areas.“We do not want these people operating
in our neighbourhoods. Illegal shebeenersshould also be fined accordingly and weshould see to it that zoning rights at a prop-erty are properly enforced,” Bam added.The CPF has also suggested that safety at
schools take priority. “We need to call onour neighbourhoodwatches to set up schoolwatches and encourage drug searches atschools.”The CPF has called on the community to
communicate crime concerns to the body.Lieutenant-Colonel Christian Esau at

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post Combating drug dealers
I agree with the comments made by therespondent of “Crime operations”(People’s Post, 10 March) that concertedefforts should be made by all parties sothat drug dealers in all guises beeliminated.I live in Eighth Avenue, Grassy Park
between Lake and Zeekoe roads and [arecent] Sunday I have witnessed ‘cus-tomers’ trekking en masse to themerchant that is situated in the sameroad, off Lake Road.On average, there are three customers
walking to the merchant every fiveminutes; surely this must indicate thatthere is a stash that can be found on thepremises? An increase in customeractivity in this area coincides often withshootings, which occur in the gang-in-fested sections of Lotus River andOttery.Residents have been threatened by
many of the hardened addicts andcriminals who walk the streets andharass residents. These addicts sit oncorners and in front of people’s houses,
waiting for their stash to arrive andoften use the pavements as toilets in fullview of anyone who happens to bearound them.Although a very successful raid was
effected at the said residence, why is itthat ‘business’ carries on as usual? Itseems as if the criminals are winningthis round.Surely the Grassy Park police can be
more visible and vigilant especiallywhen residents call in to complain? Itseems that complaining about theproblem is not enough.What then must residents do to
ensure that the area becomes resident-friendly and drug-free?As a resident, I and many others feel
extremely angry and frustrated aboutthe decline of a once-peaceful area.Short of breaking the law and becom-
ing vigilantes, what more can residentspossible do?Please advise.

We need a hero.Forty years ago South Africa had no short-
age of activists, soldiers, priests and academ-ics, who – some in exile or prison – personified thestruggle. Nelson Mandela. Oliver Tambo. Walter Si-sulu. Helen Suzman.These are just some of the heroes who led us
through the fight against apartheid.While some may think those days are long gone,
we are still fighting today.As a nation, we still face very real struggles.Our fight against crime and corruption, poverty
and inequality may differ from that of the past, butthis makes it no less important.Children are being killed in gang wars. Families
are going to bed hungry. The number of beggars onthe streets is increasing. Jobs are becoming scarcewhile we watch politicians pocket billions of rands.In the past, we would have taken to the streets. We
would have boycotted. We would have put up a fight.But with a lack of good, trustworthy leaders today,
we are at a loss as to how to channel our anger anddissatisfaction.Where have all the good men and women gone?Where are our leaders, our heroes, willing to fight
with us and show the way?They are not in the plush seats of parliament.You will not find them behind the pulpit.They do not speak out against injustice in the class-
room. They are no longer marching on the streets ormobilising the community.So look to yourself. Look to family, to your commu-
nity.Perhaps you have the heart to lead your communi-
ty, to take to the streets and to incite change.Perhaps you have it in you to be a hero.
EDITORIAL COMMENT:
Sign up
Investigate real needThank you for the great leader article(“Raise the bar”, People’s Post, 3 March)on grassroots programmes and theircorruptive divisions.As a full-time student myself, with fees
funded by the government student loanand bursary scheme, I have to attendcertain meetings where my signature andproof of identity is required in order toobtain funds like food allowance fromthem.As I stand and wait in the longest
queue ever, I’m met by the loud-mouthed,arrogant, show-off students next to meand in the rest of the admin building.They wear the most expensive shoes –
Carvela, Nike Air Max – and the mosttrendy clothing, rocking the most flashycellphones and drink Hennessy.If that paints a picture of “disadvan-
taged” [students], then I must be high ontik. Also, most of these students’ gradesare pathetic. I mean, who polices thisbehaviour? In my opinion, you shouldreally expand this article. Don’t be afraid.

‘Grass’ a health hazardAre they crazy? Unbelievable! Whatwere they thinking! That’s theresponse my five-year-old gave whenI told her the black pellets in theartificial grass in her school play-ground are made from old tires.The artificial grass in playgrounds
is typically filled in with black orgreen pieces of re-purposed rubber,typically gained from old tires.If children had limited exposure
this would be fine but our childrenare rolling about in ground up cartires everyday at school.This stuff contains high levels of
toxic substances which prohibit theirdisposal in landfills and oceans. So Iask if it’s bad enough for the envi-ronment what makes it even legal forour children to play on it?I know the people making money
selling this stuff will say artificialgrass is safe.But children are more vulnerable
to toxic chemicals and are unable toprocess them due to their rapidlydeveloping bodies and organ systems.The negative health effects might notshow up for years to come.It will be too late for our children
if in 20 years time research is donethat actually proves the correlationbetween playing in artificial grassand cancer.Dying from cancer is a horrible
thing.I beg school administrators to
consider this and at least allowparents to make an informed choiceas to whether to allow their childrento play in artificial turfs or not.

Wrong addressWhat happened to the reliable service weused to have with mail delivery? Everysingle day I get someone else’s mail inmy postbox at home. I have had ‘finaldemands’ sent to me although I neverreceived any bills which can only meanmy mail ends up somewhere else.Yesterday I got a ‘final notice’ for a
parcel I have to collect at the post office.The parcel was about to be sent back toAmerica and the ‘final notice’ was thefirst I heard about it having arrived.When I phoned the post office I was toldthe notification slips blow away in thewind! If something gets put in mypostbox it can’t blow away as it is anupright post box with a vertical slit inthe top with a lid that closes over it.There is no way, if the slip was deliver-ed, it could have blown away.This is really worrying and I am
fed-up.C SWARTZ

Saturday saw senior athletes undergoingtheir final preparations for this comingweekend’s Western Province Track andField Championships.With Bellville Stadium finally off the
competition list, the athletes prepared atParow Track, where the championshipwill be hosted.The WPA League three was severely
hampered by a faulty starter’s pistol,which tested the patience of even the start-er himself. In the 110m hurdles for men,
Antonio Alkana was unfazed by the neardozen recalls, clocking a win in a solid14.15s. He will definitely be the one to beat.Roscoe Engel, WP champion in the 100m
for the past couple of years,will be runningwithahuge target onhis back,withAlkanaedging ever closer to him in each race. The100m for men showed just how close it willbewithEngel taking it in 10.43s toAlkana’s10.44.With the likes of Brent Stevens, Yusuf
Ismail,RodwellNdlovuand theyoungKyle
Appel all talented enough to make the fi-nal, it should be a showdown of note. Theyall take the battle to the men’s 200m, justin case you missed the first run.The men’s 800m is regaining the excite-
ment of the 1990’s with numerousmen edg-ing closer to the 1min50smark. Thewinnerat the championships will definitely havehis work cut out. Local lad Duran Faro,who can often be seen running the streetsof Parow,will have his eye on the 800m and1500mdouble. Hewill have to contendwith
the likes of Sibusisu Magwaza and Antho-ny Timotius though.Sonja van derMerwe, as always, appears
unstoppable and will be the favourite inthe 200m and 400m, but can she take the100m title too? She has done it before.The championships start tomorrow
(Thursday) at 17:00 with the multi eventsand 10 000m, and culminates on Saturday,when most of the finals will take place.Contact the WPA Office at 021 699 0615

Milano United came from a goal downto secure a point away from homewhen they played to a 1-1 stalemate
with Vasco da Gama in a NFD encounterat Parow Park on Saturday afternoon.
The opening stages of the match was atypical Cape derby with a high intensity,back-and-forth battle.
Milano United looked more dangerous inthe final stages, with Vasco committing anumber of fouls in dangerous positions.
Vasco goalkeeper Steven Hoffman wasin sublime form on the day as he produceda number of match-winning saves to keep
his side in the game.In the 18th minute, Hoffman was well po-
sitioned when he collected Eezy My Kin-nes’ first attempt at goal through Ghanaianattacker Attram Kwame.
Shortly after that, the Kinnes movedswiftly into the final third with beautifulbuild-up play by Kwame and Nazier Ja-cobs, ultimately setting up Ganief Stellen-boom whose one-on-one opportunity waskept out by Hoffman. At the opposite endof the pitch, Samuel Julies’ set-piece from35-yards out went narrowly over the wood-work. Vasco took the lead at the half-hourmark when Stanley Muishond slotted theball home following a scramble inside the
six-yard area. The Kinnes continued to cre-ate a number of goal-scoring opportunities,but lacked the final pass when it was need-ed. Meanwhile, Zeka Karkee and Muish-ond teamed up nicely in the middle of thefield for the hosts. Two minutes into thesecond period, Milano came close to find-ing the equaliser when Taariq Fielies’ longball into the area almost crept in at the farpost. Coach Theo Hempe introduced thefresh legs of Ruzaigh Gamildien into theKinnes’ attack as they looked to level mat-ters. Gamildien almost made an instant im-pact when Kwame set him up, but his effortwas brilliantly kept out by Hoffman.
In the 52nd minute, the heroics of Hoff-
man was called on yet again, and the lankyshot-stopper tipped Nasief Morris’ 35-yardset-piece over the crossbar.Milano eventu-ally levelled matters in the 61st minutewhen Stellenboom’s long ball into the 18-yard area was deflected by Karkee into theback of his own net for an own goal.
Hempe then looked to get the winner andrejuvenated the attack with Lesvin Stoffelsand Brent Adonis. However, it was Vascowho came close to snatching the late win,but were denied by goalkeeper Lee Langev-eldt who pulled off two miraculous savesof his own.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more matchreport and football news.
