Bryce Van Gee was on his way home from running an errand for his parents in Kudu Lane, Lotus River, when two 17-year-old boys from the area allegedly attacked him. One of the boys held him while the other hit him over the head with nunchucks (a chain with a stick on each end, commonly used in martial arts). People’s Post visited the family that is desperately trying to under- stand the sudden, senseless death of their oldest son. According to his mother, Jessica Van Gee, her son, Bryce, had been in a confrontation a week before with one of the boys who attacked him. “Bryce’s friends told us he had had a fight with the boy who hit him over the head. Apparently the boy slapped him, but he and his friends walked away. “On the day of the attack, when Bryce came into the house he had the cap of his hoodie on. So we couldn't immediately see that he was hurt. Eventually, he told me that he had been hit over the head.” Jessica then went to speak to the father of the boy who had hit Bryce, but she says the father was unruly and wouldn’t listen to anything they had to say. “We then walked to the police station to make a case.” When they were walking back Bryce started slumping and couldn’t walk properly. “We had to hook him in and support him because he just couldn’t walk.” When they got back to their home in Gemsbok Lane, Bryce slumped on the couch. “He was shaking and making funny noises,” says Jessica. “I knew he needed help immediate- ly, so we took him to the only sur- gery that was open in Klip Road. When we got there he was already unconscious.” Bryce woke up after the doctor on duty had put him on a drip, but the boy was still “groggy and confused” says his mother. When Bryce still did not feel well, his mother decided to take him to a hospital. “We asked the people at the surgery for directions to a hospital. But on our way there we got lost.” When they eventually got to the Claremont Medicross hospital, Bryce had already had seizures and was unconscious again. Claremont hospital then sent the boy to Groote Schuur hospital. “He had to go into surgery immediately.” When he came out of surgery at 17:05 doctors told the family that there had been a lot of brain damage and there was a slim chance of sur- vival. The family strongly believed he would pull through. “We were pray- ing till the very last second. We be- lieved that God had the last say, not the doctors. But at 19:30 the next day we lost our son.” The boys who allegedly attacked Bryce (whose names can’t be men- tioned because they are minors) were arrested on Friday 18 Novem- ber and appeared in court the same day. “They have been released in their parents’ custody and have been charged with murder,” says Grassy Park police Spokesperson Wynita Kleinsmith. Jessica tries to express her anger and grief. “What happened was total- ly senseless. I wish I could just turn back time and that this never hap- pened. They must pay for what they have done. I hope justice prevails, I wouldn’t want to walk out of my house and walk into them, it would break me and I wouldn’t like my oth- er two sons to see the boys who killed their brother.” Asked what she would miss the most about her son, she says: “I will miss his beautiful smile, and how he was always so protective over his brothers Tevern (11) and Reece (5).” Five-year-old brother Reece was looking through his mother’s phone and pointed to a picture of Bryce and said proudly: “There is my Boeta.” His mother softy replied “Yes, boy, we will miss him.” GONE TOO SOON: Bryce Van Gee was hit over the head with nunchucks and died a day later.

Buy local thisfestive seasonAS part of the 93 000 Jobs forMandela Day Campaign, Proud-ly South African (PDSA) haslaunched a Buy Local this Fes-tive Season Campaign.
Director of Mag-Mark, Toni Tick-on, speaks about being ProudlySouth African and keeping it local-ly-made. Mag-Mark® – a South Af-rican company producing magnetickeepsake products – was estab-lished in 1994. The company startedout with three staff members andnow employs two staff. “Our flag-shipproduct is theunique, patentedMag-Mark® bookmark, which hassmall magnets on the inside andclips over the page so it stays put,says Tickon. “This is ideal for smallgifts, greeting cards, gift tags, sou-venirs and giveaways. We place em-phasise quality, and carefully mag-netise our products by hand to sup-port local employment. TheseMag-Marks® can be customised
with your own designs. We also pro-duce a range of fridge magnets andbuttonbadges.”He says thenew, ex-panded, range includes beaded keyrings and beaded fridge magnets,Foto Mag-Marks® and portraitfridge magnets. The products aresold mainly at tourist and curiosshops, and bookshops such as Ex-clusive Books countrywide. Tickonsays challenges faced by the compa-ny has been “the reduced sales asa direct result of cheap Chinese im-ports and reduced inflows from thetourism market.”
“Wechose tobeProudlySouthAf-rican because our products arenearly 100% South African and weare really proud of that. We havefound that being Proudly South Af-rican is also becoming a real incen-tive to local customers.”
His inspirational words for SouthAfrican consumers and entrepre-neurs are: “Vasbyt, things will getbetter!”

Money lender dies in fireLILLIAN AMOS
A PARKWOOD money lenderdied in a fire at his home in Ho-sain Parker Street in the earlyhours of Saturday 12 Novem-ber.
Fifty-one-year old Mervin Salie,who was wheelchair-bound, wasdead when police and the fire bri-gade arrived at the flat at 01:20.
His wife, Olga Audrey Salie, (49)recalls: “He woke me up some-thing-to-one because he was hun-gry. I got up, but realised I hadn’tpunched in the electricity so thelights were off. Then he told me toleave the food and come back tobed.” When she returned to theirbed, her husband heard a noise inthe yard. “I told him he’s imagin-ing things, but he insisted and Iwent to have a look.”
When Olga looked out the win-dow she saw a small flame in thefront yard and she could smell
tyres burning. “I told my husbandabout the flames and he said some-one is trying to set the house alightand I must go look for help. Thatwas the last time I spoke to him.”
Olga went to look for help, butwhen she came back it was too latefor her husband; the flames had al-ready engulfed their one-bedroomhome.
Mervin’s brother, Abdurag-maan (Maanie) Salie is adamantthat his brother was a victim offoul play. “My little brother was amoney-lender and they wererobbed once before. I believe peo-ple tried to rob him again, thistime the culprits made sure theygot the money and they got awaywith it.”
Community worker MarleneMeyer says she saw a group of menmaking a fire in front of the cou-ple’s flat. “I don’t know who thefour men were because I wasn’tpaying much attention. They werestanding there starting a fire. Five
minutes later flames were burst-ing out of the house. He (Mervin)didn’t scream or anything. Therewere people who went in and triedto help him, but to no avail.”
Goodwood Fire Station Com-mander Theo Layne said on Satur-day 12 November they respondedto a call that came in at 01:14.
They had managed to put thefire out by 01:51. “There was onefatality, and the man was dead onarrival. We do not know whatstarted the fire, but the case hasbeen handed over to the SAPS forfurther investigation.”
Grassy Park police Spokesper-son, Warrant Officer WynitaKleinsmith could not confirmwhether it was arson. “We are defi-nitely investigating the matter.”
Olga now lives with her brother-in-law. “On Monday (14 Novem-ber) I missed him so much becauseit was our anniversary. We wouldhave been married for 28 years.Now I’m living with his brother
and his family and I have nothing.All my worldly possessions havegone up in flames.”
Officer Kleinsmith urges mem-bers of the public to contact Con-stable Avril Abrahams on 074 770
0855 if they have any informationregarding the incident. If anyonewould like to donate clothes, food,blankets or other items to Olgaplease contact her on(021) 706 8189.

ONLY days shy of a campaignaimed at protecting the rights ofwomen and children, two teenagersreported being raped in theLansdowne precinct.
Last week, a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old laid charges that are cur-rently under investigation by theFamily Violence, Child Protectionand Sexual Offences Unit.
The incidents were brought tolight as the world prepares for 16Days of Activism, between 25 No-vember and 10 December, to raiseawareness about crimes againstwoman and children.
A 17-year-old boy is receivingmedical care after he was rapedthree times by his employer. Theboy’s mother tells People’s Post thather son recently started doing gar-
dening for a man in Church Street,Lansdowne, to earn an income tosupport his family.
“Money is tight in our householdso he decided to step in and find ajob. He worked at this man’s houseonce a week,” the distraught wom-an says.
She thought that he was enjoyinghis work, but noticed changes in hisbehaviour.
“He didn’t laugh as much as heused to. He started speaking lessand become angry easily. I askedhim if anything was bothering him,but he denied that anything waswrong. I honestly thought it wasjust his teenage hormones actingup.”
But on Tuesday she noticed hehad trouble walking, sitting and go-ing to the toilet.
“I asked him what was wrong and
he looked me right in the eye andfinally told me what had been hap-pening. He said his boss had rapedhim three times.
“I went cold – how could this hap-pen to my boy?”
Her son alleges that his bossdrugged him while serving himlunch on each occasion.
“His memory of what happened isvague. He says that after he ate hewas in a daze and could only re-member parts of what happened.But he clearly remembers that thisman had pushed him onto the carparked in his backyard, and didthese horrible things to him.”
After he confided in her, she im-mediately went to the police stationto lay a charge.
“I told him it was not his fault, buthe isn’t the same anymore. Hesleeps all the time, or lies in bed
staring into space. Why did thishappen? He only wanted to earn aliving.”
The second incident came tolight when a 13-year-old girl confid-ed in a teacher that she had beenraped.
The Grade 7 pupil at a Lansdowneschool revealed her ordeal after aneducational talk about the dangersof unsafe sex, drugs and alcohol.
No further details of the casewere available at the time of goingto print.
Constable Nkululeko Mnyaka,spokesperson for the Lansdownepolice, says that no arrests havebeen made.
He was unable to explain at thisstage why the suspects, who hadbeenpointedout by thevictims, hadnot yet been taken into custody.
Ilse Ahrends, empowermentmanager at the Saartjie BaartmanCentre in Athlone, says that thereis increased awareness of abuse ow-ing to the 16 Days of Activism cam-
paign. As a result, more abused peo-ple come forward than at any othertime of the year.
“People are urged to speak outand break the silence. We need toreach every person who may havebeen affected,” she explains.
“Schools are involved and chil-dren take part in activities aimed atspreading the simple message thatviolence can never be condoned.Everyone can get involved. Butdon’t let this message fade on 10 De-cember – continue to speak outwhenever you witness abuse.”
Lansdowne Police’s Victim Sup-port Team will host an awarenesssession at Kenilworth Centre onSaturday from 09:00 till 15:00 as partof their 16 Days of Activism Cam-paign.
This session will explain the serv-ices offered by the station in thefight against abuse.
For more information contact co-ordinator David Hendricks on 072363 0281 or (021) 944-8220.

THE annual eMzantsi carnival will takeplace on 3 December as planned, due tothe generosity of a local bank.
Last week, People’s Post reported that thecarnival was in jeopardy, due to delayed pay-ment from the National Lottery DistributionTrust Fund (NLDTF) (“Far South carnival injeopardy,” People’s Post, 15 November 2011).
Sam Pearce, managing director of the Har-lequin Foundation, the NPO that adminis-ters the eMzantsi community-buildingproject, says Standard Bank in Fish Hoek ap-proved an overdraft up to the level of thefoundation’s assets, which accumulates toR250 000.
Pearce says the bridging finance fromStandard Bank will cover the “most urgentcosts” for the day. “We would like to thankthem for their faith and support.”
The delay in approval of funds was alleged-ly caused by a request for deviation from theoriginal use of grant money, in the most re-cent progress report. Pearce, however, saysthe deviation was requested in July 2010.
The NLDTF is yet to make their decisionregarding funding for the Harlquin Founda-tion and will decide during a meeting on 23November.
Pearce says the eMzantsi team is “re-lieved” that the carnival will go ahead asplanned.
She says the team is also finding innova-tive and creative ways to save money, like“recycling” last year’s posters.
The Harlequin Foundation Board also paidtribute to the eMzantsi team of staff, facilita-tors and mapiko crew who have committedto working without pay this month. “Theyensured that the hundreds of children andyouth on our pre-primary, primary, highschool and intercultural music projects whohave been working together all year get theopportunity to showcase their achievementson the day,” Says Pearce.
She further thanked Touareg for their“community spirit” in providing tents at thepost-Carnival show.
“We appeal to the public to come to the in-tersection of Kommetjie Road and Ou KaapseWeg at 10:00 on 3 December to support thecommunity-building efforts of our youth atthe fabulous ‘eMzantsi Goes BOS!’ paradeand onstage at the finals of the ‘eMzantsi’sGot Talent’ competition, compèred by Robvan Vuuren at the Sun Valley green after-wards.”

Lotus River store hit by robbersOn Monday 21 November, at about 18:00,three men robbed a store in Hanekom Street,Eagle Park, in Lotus River. According toGrassy Park police spokesperson, WarrantOfficer Wynita Kleinsmith, the men tied upthe owner of the store and his brother withcomputer cables and stole R2 000 in cash.
Officer Kleinsmith urges witnesses, or an-yone with information about the incident, tocall the Grassy Park police station on(021) 700 3900.
.In another incident on Friday 18 Novem-
ber, a woman was robbed of her handbagwhile walking towards the Ottery Station inPlantation Road. Two men aged 18 and 21 al-legedly threatened her with a knife and ranoff with her bag, but the woman refused tolet them get away and started chasing them.According to Officer Kleinsmith the wom-an’s colleague saw the commotion andhelped her. “Eventually they managed tocatch the men and brought them in to the po-lice station.The twoMitchell’s Plainmenap-peared in court on Monday.”
Councillor wants to hear from youMONTGOMERY Oliver, Ward Councilor forward 63 and chairperson of subcouncil 18will be available on Wednesdays between10:00 – 13:00 at the Multipurpose Hall inDeWet Road.
Residents of Ottery, Wetton, Fairways Es-
tate,Wetton (south side of the line),WynbergEast, and parts of Plumstead can contact theCouncillor with any queries about theircommunity. His contact numbers are(021) 700 4020 / (021) 704 1521 or fax to(021) 700 4027.
WITH only two weeks left before the end ofthe school year, the provincial education de-partment is wrapping up their preparationsfor the 2012 school year.
This includes helping schools to completetimetables, resolving staffing, administra-tive and security issues, and finalizing en-rolment lists.
Areas identified as high-demand includeHanover Park, Manenberg, Mitchell’s Plain,Philippi and Langa.
There are still parents whose children areentering Grade 1 or Grade 8, who have notyet enrolled them.
Given that many schools are already full,enrolment at this stage may require some as-sistance by the department’s district offices.
Enrolments for the following school yearis imperative, as this determines thenumber of staff that will be allocated to a par-ticular school, the furniture and stationaryrequired and the quantity of learning mate-
rials such as textbooks. The department’sannual Early Enrolment Campaign has beena success, with high enrolment figures re-ported throughout the province.
The greatest demand has been in the met-ro region, with some areas full to capacity.
These include Rondebosch, Mitchell’sPlain and the City Bowl.
The department is expecting around100 000 learners to qualify for enrolment inGrade 1 next year, and approximately 80 000in Grade 8. Parents are advised not to leaveenrolment to the first day of the new schoolyear.
This places pressure on officials and dis-tracts schools from their task at hand, whichis to teaching. Late enrolment almost al-ways limits options and choices.
To enrol your child, provide the child’sbirth certificate, immunisation card andtransfer card or report card if your child asalready been to school.
School registration time is running out

New-look mall takes shapeTHE new and improved BlueRoute Mall, set for completion inApril 2012, promises to beTokai’s shopping haven.
This multi-million rand devel-opment will boast 56 000m² of re-tail and entertainment paradisein a centre that has already se-cured its place in the hearts of itsloyal customers and the sur-rounding community.
And growth is set to continue– not only in size, but in staturetoo.
Blue Route Mall is soon to be-come the shoppingdestinationofchoice – and will bolster its posi-tion by combining the perfect in-gredients for a successful retaildevelopment: a contemporarydesign along with the right ten-ant mix that matches customers’experiences and expectations.
Retail lineups at the new mallinclude a 9 660m² upgradedCheckers Hyper and a 1 671m²Dischem, with MassDiscountersDionWired making its debut inthe area.
There is also an exceptionalnational fashion retailer assort-ment, including a double-vol-ume Woolworths (6 351m²) andEdgars (4 093m²), a chic andtrendy Truworths (1 122 m²) aswell as new store concept Foschi-ni Emporium (1 314m²), whichhouses all their brands under
one roof.Woolworths’ new concept
store at the mall will not only of-fer a wider depth and selectionof merchandise, it will also fea-ture more of the quality, style,value and innovation that cus-tomers love. The W-Café is alsoearmarked.
The cosmetic renovation ofCheckers Hyper, which began atthe end of July, will make it thelargest store in the SouthernSuburbs.
The store will feature the verybest in retail design, with wideraisles and a much wider productselection.
“Checkers Hyper is thrilled atthe long-awaited development ofBlue Route Mall.
“ In keeping with the look andfeel of the rest of the mall, we areupgrading our store to make itvisually appetising, not only tothe existing shopper, but also thenew market the mall is set to at-tract, truly delivering on ourpromise of being bigger and bet-ter,” says Mauritz Alberts, divi-sional director of the WesternCape Checkers division.
Brett Exner, property execu-tive for MassDiscounters, ex-plains that the mall’s locationwill provide great exposure tothe outlet’s target market, whichis predominantly representative
of the ideal DionWired custom-er.
“As the first DionWired storein Cape Town’s Southern Sub-urbs, we are delighted to presentshoppers with our specialist IT,electronics and appliances con-cept store.”
Top eateries that have alsosigned up to offer shoppersmouth-watering, diverse cuisineinclude succulent steakhouseSpur as well as crowd favouritePrimi Piatti.

The eight-cinema Ster-Kine-kor complex (2 808m²), includes3D capabilities, as well as 1 054comfortable seats.
The mall’s curvaceous 160mfrontage on Tokai Road providesa futuristic façade, and is su-perbly situated to take advan-tage of the high commuter vol-umes that use the M3, Main Roadand Tokai Road, as well as thosewho use public transport.
“The letting of the new mall isprogressing very well, withsigned leases representing 92%of the new Mall’s gross lettablearea,” concludes Matthews.

“We don’t have beef or chicken,but we’ll have fish,” remarkedsomeone at Noordhoek Beach,where shoals of sardines weredriven close to shore by a teamof seals on Saturday 19 Novem-ber.
As the word spread, hordes ofpeople arrived at the beach,grabbing bucket loads of fish.
Dr Carl van der Lingen, a sci-entist at the Department of Agri-culture, Forestry and Fisheries,says he thinks an extensive redtide bloom of gonyaulax poly-gramma – a type of phytoplank-ton – was linked to the appear-ance of the sardines. The red tideextends between Walker Bayand St Helena Bay.
He says this species is not tox-ic, but falling oxygen levelswhen these micro-organisms de-cay, has been linked to fish killsin other parts of the world.
He explains that the sardinescould have been trapped by thered tide, as they wouldn’t wantto swim through it, and thenthey were probably driven fur-ther onshore by predators suchas seals.
The fish would probably be
able to detect the gonyaulaxthrough smell, taste or by trap-ping them with their gill rakers.
Van der Lingen says therewere similar blooms in FalseBay in 1962 and 2007.
Sardines have also been re-ported in Kommetjie and HoutBay this week. He has receivedreports of sardines washing updead near Koeberg, Melkbos-trand and Struisbaai, althoughthese have not been confirmed.
“I wouldn’t recommend eatingthem,” he says, although he addsthat if there had been any toxici-ty, this would have been appar-ent by now.
Van Der Lingen says the ap-pearance of the sardines is dif-ferent to the run, which happensannually off the Kwa Zulu NatalCoast in winter, when a subpop-ulation of sardines move up theeast coast to spawn. However,predators forcing fish shoals tothe coast can happen in both cas-es.
He could not say if the prolificrare buoy barnacles, sighted atNoordhoek, Hout Bay, Muizen-berg, Hermanus, False Bay andCamps Bay earlier this month,can be linked to the red tide.
No loaves but plentyof fish in Noordhoek

Turn the tideWITH less than five weeks to Christmas, onewould imagine that the prevailing mood isone of lightness, joy and the anticipation ofa carefree, well-earned summer holiday.
On one side of the spectrum, this is a reali-ty, with many excitedly planning their year-end getaways and time with friends and fami-ly.
Sadly, on the opposite end, the “season tobe jolly” has been marred by the loss of lovedones and fear of an increase in violence andcriminal activity.
In areas characterised by poverty, crime isrampant this time of year; literally harvestseason for criminals.
In fulfilling our obligation to report newsthe public ought to know, this week’s People’sPost carries reports about serious crimes, in-cluding that of a teenager reportedly attackedby other teens. Bryce Van Gee was attackedby two boys; one allegedly hit him over thehead with nunchucks. Bryce, 14, died of hisinjuries. His mother and two younger broth-ers will never see their Boeta again.
The front page of our Lansdowne editionhas a story about the rape of two minors justdays before the 16 Days of Activism cam-paign, and our Athlone edition has a storyabout a brutal fight between high school pu-pils that ended with both being stabbed.
How does one end the cycle of violence?Among other considerations, the solution
could lie in communities taking a firm standand reclaiming their streets, as the residentsof Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, had done dur-ing a Take Back Your Streets campaign. Ledby local police, they expressed their discon-tent at yet another spate of gang-relatedshootings.
Though not instantly measurable, the suc-cess of such initiatives depends on consistentaction and partnerships with police and othercrime-fighting bodies.
Never stop voicing your protest againstthose who turn your neighbourhoods intobattlefields.
Liquor licensing too lenientThis letter is in response to the letter “Liquortrading on Sabbath day,” People’s Post, 25Tuesday October 2011.
It’s good to know that there are people inour communities, who are aware of thedownfall of our spiritual values.
The writer of the letter “anonymous” mustbe informed that this country has a multi-level licensing system that requires no trans-parency. I’m just as surprised as he is thatwe now have Sunday trade in alcohol in
Grassy Park.From my investigations of the store, it’s
once again the previously advantaged ex-ploiting the still disadvantaged.
Please, liquor authorities, work with thecommunities tokeepus fromover-indulging.
I can only see this monster getting bigger.Grassy Park still is and can be a better
place to live.ANONYMOUS TOOGrassy Park
Stay safe - simply stop speedingA FEW weeks ago there was ‘S’laughter onour roads and immediately ‘S’omebody whois ‘S’omeone made all kinds of ‘S’uggestionsto ‘S’top the killings on our highways and by-ways.
‘S’enoir ‘S’afety officials came forwardwith various ‘S’uggestions to ‘S’top the‘S’laughter.
‘S’peed reduction was ‘S’hoved forward be-cause ‘S’ome believed that ‘S’uper ‘S’peedingby local ‘S’peedsters in the different typesof’S’edans was the main killer on the high-ways. ‘S’tatutes and ‘S’tatutory bylaws were‘S’uggested to be amended so as to ‘S’care the‘S’peedsters into lawful ‘S’ubmission.
‘S’afety ‘S’tandards and ‘S’peed traps wereenforced more ‘S’tringently by ‘S’peed-copsand other ‘S’afety \’S’ecurity person-nel.’S’urely we were to ‘S’ee ‘S’erious ‘S’ug-
gestions being implemented ‘S’uch as the‘S’peed reduction ‘S’uggestions but the ‘S’il-ence was so loud it was deafening.
Now today twenty people were killed in anaccident on a highway and ‘S’uddenly everyone is again analysing the cause and onceagain ‘S’uggestions are ‘S’urfacing on how toprevent the ‘S’laughter on the roads. Wait afew days then there will be ‘S’ilence untill,God forbid, ‘S’peeding ‘S’laughters happenagain and then like a race we ‘S’tart all overagain once the ‘S’hocking ‘S’tory has ‘S’ub-sided.
I, as a road user, again ‘S’tate very loudly‘S’peed ‘S’till ‘S’laughters. ‘S’top ‘S’peedingand ‘S’uggested ‘S’uggestions must ‘S’peedi-ly be implemented and not ‘S’helved.KEITH BLAKEOttery
YourSMSesReturn of the minstrels
. If you don’t like the min-strels, let the people who likeit enjoy it. We are living in ademocratic society so let theminstrels practice their rightto enjoy themselves in thestreets of Cape Town. MaybeI dislike something the anti-minstrels do, but it doesn’tgive me the right to object towhat you like.
. The return of the min-strels is fine, but please, Cityof Cape Town, get rid of thegazebos on the pavements.
. Why do the minstrels getrecognised, but the Christ-mas bands don’t? Money getsdonated to them, but not tothe choirs! Mr Meyer
Just a thought. I can’t understand why
Crime Stop numbers must beso long. When you are in apanic, traumatised and shak-ing like a leaf, you can’t eventhink properly. Why all theselong numbers? Only threesimple digits please!
. Were the kids, who threwa fireworks “bomb” at mylounge door, meaning to blowme and my dogs up? Youcould not have known thedoor was closed. Had the doorbeen open this would haveput your parents in jail andyou in juvenile detention.
. Why is it that when youbuy stuff that has, say, a one-
year guarantee, you get an in-voice and you are told to keepthe slip as proof. But after fivemonths you find that the inkon the invoice has completelyfaded away. Can someoneplease explain that? Y Hart-ley, Wetton
. I am very disappointedwith the Telkom service. Ithas been over a week now andI am still waiting for the lineto be put up in Ottery, Wyn-berg and who knows whereelse. All Telkom can say isthat it’s due to cable theft!This is not good enough.There was no follow up withusers who were left in thedark, as usual. Can’t they fixit? It will be Christmas soon.I hope it will be sorted outsoon. This is bad service! Roy

Metrorail needs competitionFOR the first time I agree with Tony Ehrenre-ich that something should be done aboutMetrorail.
I am fortunate not to need Metrorail’s cha-otic services, but I have family and friendswho use the service.
They are either late or don't turn up at all.Sometimes people have to run up and down
the different platforms, only to miss theirtrain because of wrong announcements.
What a way to treat your loyal commuters!They have no competition: that’s why they
do what they want.They even beat Eskom for poor service.

You could be nextON Monday we returned home from work ataround 16:45 to find our house ransacked. Wehave safety gates on all outside doors andstrong Spanish burglar bars on all the win-dows. The burglars had come in through theroof by removing four of the tiles.
They robbed us of a computer monitor, myBMX bicycle and a precious heirloom ring.
The detectives were amazed, because it ishighly unusual for these scumbags to makeso much effort to gain access to one house.
I’m warning everyone to be careful andkeep an eye out!KATEPlumstead
Saving myself for the perfect manI’M saving myself for the perfect man.
So that one day, he’ll fall on his kneesand ask for my hand.I’m not looking for a bad boy nor a nerd,I’m looking for someone, who’ll makeme feel special and make me feel heard.I’m not interested in looks or the wayhe’s dressed.I’m not looking for someone who’ll breakmy heart and leave me a mess.
I don’t need to be spoiled with rosesand chocolates each day,but do spoil me with the look in youreyes and never look away.Treat me like gold and respectme for who I am.I hope my mission will end soonin order for the perfect girl to findher perfect man.

Mind your language, ETVWHOEVER chooses the degradingly low tele-vision shows for all channels on SABC TV,including ETV, for this time of the year,should be fired!
What happens to all the money you receivefrom us as well as all the millions of advertsthat are shown, more than a film itself? Neverhave we had such bad service and then youhave the audacity to remind us to pay our tel-evision licences? Yes, it is not easy to pleaseeverybody, especially nowadays, but remem-ber there are some of us who have been pay-ing tv licences for years and, therefore, it is
our right to receive decent programmes.The African American shows with all the
terrible swearing is definitely not entertain-ing, not for us. If you must, show them onChannel 1, for the majority to watch and noton ETV and other channels. This also appliesto the local SA rubbish.
It seems that ETV has become the AfricanAmerican swear-word channel. Are you notashamed to show this to the children and pub-lic? Where are your morals?V G BEHRENSPinelands
Dividing is not multiplyingIN response to the letter written by SheikhMa Jardien (“Tax businesses which benefit-ed,” People’s Post, 15 November 2011), I havethe following comments:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into pros-perity by legislating the wealthy out of pros-perity.
2. What one person receives without work-ing for, another person must work for with-out receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybodyanything that the government does not first
take from somebody else.4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing
it!5. When half of the people get the idea that
they do not have to work because the otherhalf is going to take care of them, and whenthe other half gets the idea that it
does no good to work because somebodyelse is going to get what they work for, thatis the beginning of the end of any nation.BARRY THEUNISSENMuizenberg
Enforce the rules of the roadSINCE my return to Cape Town, I have no-ticed that people seem to use the freeway ona more casual basis.
They walk on the freeway, cycle on the free-way and use the freeway as a jogging track.
Now, the last time I checked, the rules ofthe road specifically state thatnopedestrians,cyclists or vehicles under 150CC are allowedon our freeways, mainly for safety reasons.
One morning, while on the M3 highway (Si-mon Van Der Stel), heading towards Muizen-berg, just past the Bergvliet off-ramp, I hadto avoid an item in the road.
I had to cross the white line on the righthand edge of the freeway (I was in the fastlane) and a pedestrian was jogging towardsme.
The audacity of this individual was such,that he actually motioned by hand that Ishould get back into the lane.
When I did not comply, he started mouthingoff and throwing hand signs. I did not takekindly to that.
I have sent emails to the Western Cape Gov-ernment offices in Dorp Street and receiveda snotty response informing me that I musttake photos and call the police.
I have seen police ride past these individu-als on the freeway and do nothing about it.They just drive right past.
So why should I, a tax-paying citizen, do thejob of government and police? I am not gettingpaid for this.
They are.Besides which, I don’t have the authority
to do anything about it.My question is, at what point or what is it
going to take to get government to sit up andtake notice that these laws are being brokenand should be enforced?
They have no problem sitting checkingyour speed and if you are above the speed lim-it, send you a fine for a few hundred rands.Surely, the same must apply to all laws andrules of the road?GARETH FELDMAN

Doing it for the love of the gameLYNN PRINS
THE saying goes “age is nothingbut a number,” and this wasproven by a softballer who hasbeen playing for 43 years. Cher-yl Raatz, a stalwart of St An-drews Dodgers Softball Club,started playing at the age ofnine.
She was introduced to the gameby her late father Willie Dixon.
Raatz started her softball careerat Ridgeville Softball Club, basedin Athlone, hardly played and wasknown as the “bat girl” because allshe seemed to do was pick up andcarry bats for her team mates.
“Back then there were no juniorteams and I had to be part of a sen-ior team.
The only way you could learnthe game was to sit on the benchand watch,” she said.
Raatz was eager to start playingandmoved toStAndrewsDodgers,established in 1948, and of whichshe is still a proud member.
Asked how the game haschanged over the years, she said:“The game is now more incentive-than commitment-driven.
Facilities have improved tre-mendously and therefore weshould be grateful and acceptchange.”
Raatz told People’s Post how excit-ed she was about the Junior Wom-en’s World Championship takingplace in two weeks’ time.
“I never thought it would hap-pen. Softball is, and has alwaysbeen, regarded as a minnow sport.But now, with us hosting theevent, maybe interest in the sportwill grow.” People’s Post is the me-dia sponsor for the JWWC on 7-17 December.
Three players who were part ofthe JWWC team in Holland 2007,Lisa Erasmus, Lara Erasmus andMegan Cable, told People’s Postabout the experience.
“Seeing softball on a whole newlevel gave me the urge to play likethem,” said Lisa.
Lara said:
“I expected it to be tough and Iknew we would have to play ourhearts out in every game, but Inever expected such a high level ofsoftball and amazing talent.”
Asked about the strengths of ournational softball team, Cable said:“The players have an advantagewe never had, where training isconcerned. They train together as
a team, which is good. Also, the la-dies are not afraid of swinging thebat. Having Lester Smith on theirside is great, as he is an excellentbatting coach.”
They wished the team well, andadded that while performing attheir highest competitive level,they should also enjoy the experi-ence and have fun.

ATOUGH league clash between En-gen Santos and Kaizer Chiefs on
Saturday at the Peter Mokaba Stadi-um resulted in the teams sharing thespoils at full time. The match ended ina 0-0 draw.
Santos, whose defence was outstand-ing, hit back during the second half, near-ly sealing victory against the home team.Eleazar Rodgers nearly scored in the lastten minutes when a powerful header hitthe crossbar.
Hehada tremendousgame, andhis aer-ial presence offered a solid defence forChiefs.
The People’s team could have won thegame, but missed chances cost them awin. With that said, only confidence canbe taken into Sunday’s Telkom KnockoutCup semi-final against Bidvest Wits Uni-versity.
The Lansdowne-based side, Santos,founded in 1982 in Heideveld, last won sil-verware in 2003 in the ABSA Cup againstneighbours Ajax Cape Town at AthloneStadium.
The People’s Team, as they are knownto their fans, has come a long way.
This season Goolam Allie, CEO of theclub, aims to win one cup with the sidethat he has.
“There is no way that I would have play-ers in our squad that I think are not goodenough to win a cup.”
When People’s Post asked Allie what itwould mean to Santos if they reached thefinal and won the cup, he said: “It wouldbe Déjà vu for us, because we are a clubthat always wins cups.”
Ederies Burton, Chief Operating Offic-er for Santos, said: “It’s always a goodfeeling when the club reaches this stageof such an important knockout competi-tion. With the current squad, I sense thesame desire as with the squad that wonthe Cup in 2003.
“In terms of advice to the younger play-ers, it’s all about application on matchday. The team that applies themselvesproperly on the day will ultimately besuccessful. It’s about who wants it more,”Burton added.
On Sunday Santos will be playingagainst Bidvest Wits.
They are known as The Clever Boys be-cause of the club’s close affiliation withthe University of the Witwatersrand.
Their key player, and the man to watch,is former Santos player Ryan Chapman.Chapman, who scored six goals in eightstarts, seems to be in top form.
Wits coach Rodger De Sa, known as theDrawing King, has made his team into anattacking force this season.
They have been playing more enter-taining soccer this season, and theirmatch on Sunday, is sure to be a toughone.
The battle between the teams takesplace on Sunday at 15:00 at the BidvestStadium.
