Police could not give exact estimates but according to Warrant Officer Clive Muller, spokesperson for Diep River SAPS, the car park had been targeted before. “Late last year we had the same problem where a car was stolen every day. This came to an abrupt end, but three weeks ago the thievery, which takes place during business hours at the Shoprite Checkers parking lot in Main Road and Richmond Square, started all over again. Muller says the precinct is hard at work trying to stop these criminals. “We are trying our best to catch these guys. Last year we had undercover of- ficers patrolling there as much as possi- ble. When we have visible policing these criminals don’t strike but unfortu- nately we don’t have enough manpow- er to patrol there all day long.” Ward Councillor Carol Bew is at her wits’ end about the situation and is hop- ing something drastic would be done to stop the thievery. “Little can be done by the City of Cape Town at the Checkers car park because the premises belongs to the centre. “At Richmond Sqaure (behind Ocean Basket) however, we have taken meas- ures by putting up palisade fencing and that helped decrease the amount of cars being stolen but at Checkers it is extremely difficult to monitor who comes in and out of the parking lot,” says Bew. She adds that the area had been a hotspot for many years, even before she became ward councillor for the ar- ea. Muller says the type of cars that usually get targeted are older models that can be easily broken into. “It’s usually older people’s cars that get broken into be- cause their cars, although old, are still in mint condition. “The criminals then easily break into the cars, strip them of all their parts and the owners never see them again.” While police are hard at work trying to stop the car thefts, they ask that Shoprite Checkers partners them. “Checkers is the biggest shop in the centre so they should put up a form of access control or cameras. “They have car guards who don’t seem to care about what happens to the cars. “At the moment criminals can come in, steal cars and get away without any hassle,” says Muller. Meanwhile, Shoprite Checkers man- agement responded by saying they were not aware that there had been an increase in theft. Corporate Communications Manag- er, Sarita van Wyk says, “These cases are not always reported to centre man- agement. “Checkers Plumstead is only aware of three such incidents in the last nine months. “We are collaborating with SAPS in an effort to increase security at the centre’s parking area and we’re currently weighing up the viability of vari- ous options in this regard.” TARGETED: Police say a car is being stolen every day from this parking lot.Photo: Supplied ATTENTION: Every Satur- day these smart young sea cadets from all over Cape Town gather at the Training Ship Woltermade base in Lake- side.

CHAOS: The ANC memori-al lecture held at the GoodHope Centre on Thursday inmemory of former ANCpresident Sefako Makgathowas marred by the arrest oftwo people for public disor-der. It was initially allegedthat the disruption, whichoccurred during PresidentJacob Zuma’s centenaryspeech, was by a duo fromthe ANC Youth League, butthe group’s spokesperson,Floyd Shavambu, lays theblame squarely at the par-ty’s doorstep. “The ANCYLis concerned by the mannerin which ANC members inthe Western Cape disruptedthe lecture,” he says.

Cloning con artist strikes inLansdowneREYANA STEYN
BEWARE when strangers offer assistance atATMs as they could be out to clone your bankcard and withdraw your cash.
This happened to Lansdowne resident AdeelahEderies when she withdrew money from an ATMat a garage between St John’s Road and ChurchStreet on Friday.
A well-dressed woman approached Ederies af-ter she had withdrawn her money and told her thather transaction wasn’t complete.
She told Ederies to look at the screen which read“A language should be selected”.
“I found that odd, as I had my money and bankcard. I asked the woman who she was and shetold me that the same thing had happened to herbefore and that she could assist me,” she says.
“The well-spoken woman told me to insert mybank card into the ATM and complete the transac-tion. Something didn’t feel right, but I was in a rushas my children were waiting for me in the car andI did as the woman said.”
Ederies placed her bank card into the ATM andthe woman pressed buttons, stating she knew howto sort out the problem. She told Ederies to inserther pin code, which she did.
“When she was done I took my bank card andwent to the car and drove off, but I felt uneasy andI told my family when I got home. Something toldme to take a photo of the woman, but I didn’t,” saysEderies.
“On Saturday I went out and when I wanted towithdraw money, I was unable to do so as it statedthat the withdrawal limit for the day had been ex-ceeded.”
She realised she had been conned and immedi-
ately went to the police station to report the matter.After having bank statements printed, it was estab-lished that the thieves had withdrawn a total ofR2 500 in Nyanga.
“We also wanted to view the video footage atthe petrol station but the cameras’ view doesn’treach to where the ATMs are situated,” says Eder-ies. She warns people to safeguard themselvesagainst ATM scams and not to trust strangers astheir cards could also be cloned. “People whocommit such crimes know how to convince inno-cent victims to get what they want. Always be onguard.”
Constable Nkululeko Mnyaka, Lansdowne po-lice spokesperson, says a case of theft is beinginvestigated. He urges residents to safeguardthemselves when they are withdrawing moneyfrom ATMs.
PEDAL ON: Premier Helen Zille andother government officials faced off witha MyCiti bus and a car on Wednesdayin a race to determine which mode oftransport was quickest.

Capetonians to soft on ba-boons?LILLIAN AMOS
A WORLD renowned anthropol-ogist has revealed that the CapePeninsula baboons are by far theworst behaved she has seen inher career.
Shirley Strum compared CapeTown’s baboon population withwhat she had learned from a popu-lation of baboons she had studiedand worked very closely with inKenya, for just over 40 years.“These (Peninsula) baboons aremore advanced and they are so ac-customed to raiding that it would bean extremely difficult task gettingthem to live in any other way.”
The veteran anthropologistbrought an expert, outsider’s per-spective on current managementchallenges of the Peninsula ba-boon population. Zwaanswyk,Tokai and surrounding areas’ resi-
dents packed The Range Confer-ence Centre on Thursday 23 Feb-ruary, to hear what Strum had tosay.
“Baboons are adaptable, intelli-gent and flexible and we need toput measures in place to try andcurb what is currently happening.The Peninsula baboons havefound an easy way out and theydon’t feel the need to scavenge be-cause there are easier ways of get-ting food, by going into the urbanareas and raiding. We need to upthe cost (risk factor) for them anddecrease the benefits. This wouldresult in less home invasions.”Strum also expressed surprise athow Capetonians tend to be tooempathetic and defensive when itcomes to the animals. “People tendto think baboons are small humanbeings. They are not; they are wildanimals and they should be kept inthe wild and should be treated as
wild animals.”To the primatologist, people in
South Africa, contrary to those inother parts of the world, care toomuch about the animals’ “rights”.After the talk, the panel from theBaboon Liason Group (BLG), SAN-parks, Cape Nature, The City ofCape Town and NCC took time totake questions from the audience.
One woman who has been livingin Zwaanswyk for 15 years saysshe is fed up with the constant ba-boon invasions.
“It has happened so many timesthat I lost count. I came to the meet-ing because I wanted to hear whatSherley had to say because sheclearly has a lot of information onwhy the baboons are acting theway they are.” Another woman wholives in Tokai says she absolutelyadores animals and feels the ba-boons are not at all a problem forher, even though they’ve raided her
house twice now. “They were herefirst, long before we ever arrived onthe scene, so we just have to livewith them.”
Currently, electrical fencing isbeing erected in Zwaanswyk.Strum, along with the panel of na-ture representatives discussed thefencing, but some people were stillnot satisfied. Eventually Dr JustinO’Riain, head of the Baboon Re-search Unit concluded that it is thestart of a solution that could poten-tially help curb baboon invasions.“This could work, we just need tobe patient and see how it works”.
BABOONS AT PLAY: A world renowned anthropolo-gist gave Capetonians her views on what can bedone to try and curb baboon urban invasions.

Big stink over state of ceme-teryREYANA STEYN
ATHLONE’S historic fishmongers have de-nied responsibility for the state of the Vy-
gekraal Muslim Cemetery in Johnston Road,which has raised the ire of disgusted localsover the appalling condition of the final restingground.
Fish intestines and faeces litter the graveyardand a foul stench of urine hangs in the air, muchto the dismay of mourners who come from Ath-lone, Lansdowne, Manenberg and the surround-ing areas to pay their respects.
Residents, like Moena Mustapha, are calling onthe authorities to take immediate action.
“It is terrible to see that our loved ones’ final rest-ing place has been turned into this mess,” a dis-gusted Mustapha says. “We should respect theplace where they have been buried, but this is notthe case. It reeks of fish and there are fish intes-tines all over.
“When I went there recently I noticed that a partof the vibracrete wall had also been taken downso that the fishmongers can get the water theyneed from the tap inside the cemetery. Vagrantsare also using the grounds as a toilet.”
Mogamat Maged, a trustee on the VygekraalMuslim Cemetery Board, says that they are alsofed up with the mess.
“It’s despicable what is happening to the ceme-tery. The fishmongers have been trading here foryears, but they have no sanitation or water andmake use of the taps in the cemetery. This hasbecome worse as they have now broken the wallof the cemetery for quicker access. I have fixedthe wall numerous times but when I return later,it’s smashed again.”
He says maintaining the cemetery is “a real bat-tle” as the vagrants who sleep along the ceme-tery’s wall in Lower Klipfontein Road throw rubbishon to the graveyard. “I have spoken to the Athlonefishmongers and the vagrants but it falls on deafears. People think the trustees are not doing theirjob, but this is something we need to deal with ona hourly basis.”
Maged says an added problem is the flowersbeing stolen off the graves in the middle of thenight by drug addicts and re-sold the next morn-ing.
But while the filth, dirt and smell have beenblamed on the group of homeless people who aresquatting on the other side of the cemetery wall,finding the culprits responsible for the decompos-ing fish innards has proven quite a task.
Abdullah Mcleod, the president of the AthloneFish Mongers Association, vehemently denies re-sponsibility for the state of the cemetery.
“We have been trading here for about 30 yearsand we would never be that disrespectful. It is oth-er fishmongers and people who come in the mid-dle of the night and create a mess here – not us.The guys standing in Klipfontein Road do notthrow the fish intestines on the graves.”
He says the fishmongers clean their fish at theirtrading area and dispose of dirt in bins which arecollected by the council.
However, Magedcounters that before the ex-cess fish is collected by council, birds “pick at itand scatter it on the graves”.
Councillor Magadien Davids says the issue willbe addressed “immediately”.
“We have received complaints from residents,and we are sorry for the inconvenience this hascaused. We are starting to build the Athlone FishMarket next month which should alleviate thestench of the fish being sold. However, as for in-
testines being dumped close to the graveyard, itwas established that it is other fishmongers doingthat and not the ones who stand at the cemetery.”
He says he is in talks with law enforcement toget the vagrants removed.
“Vagrants are sleeping under a tree close to thecemetery, but we will be looking at ways to getthem removed and placed into shelters perma-nently.”

Competition to boost SouthAfrica’s entrepreneurs
Spenston FC start training
IN AN effort to boost the level of entrepreneurshipin South Africa, Sanlam and Business Partnershave announced the launch of the 2012 Sanlam/Business Partners Entrepreneur of the Year com-petition.
This initiative, widely considered to be the pre-eminent competition of its kind in South Africa,has served as a springboard for past finalists andwinners. “Besides the chance to win prizes witha total value of R1 345 000, which includes cashprizes of R 200 000, finalists and winners are ableto expand their networks and receive invaluableexposure for their businesses,” says NimoNaidoo, project manager at Sanlam/BusinessPartners Entrepreneur of the Year.
She says one of the key aims of the competitionis to profile the successes and significant job cre-ation achievements of entrepreneurs from acrossSouth Africa. “We believe this plays a crucial rolein elevating the standard of entrepreneurial activi-ty, as well as fostering a national entrepreneurialspirit that directly translates into job creation.”
She says recent studies show that South Africais lagging behind many of its competitors whenit comes to entrepreneurship.
According to the 2010 Global Entrepreneur-ship Monitor, South Africa ranked 27th out of 59
countries on entrepreneurial activity, with its TotalEntrepreneurial Activity (TEA) rate of 8.9% belowthe average (11.9%) of all participating countries.“Both Government and the private sector needto do more when it comes to funding and fosteringan entrepreneurial culture in our country, in orderto address our unemployment cycle,” saysNaidoo. According to Naidoo, the competition isopen to entrepreneurs from all industries and forbusinesses of any size. The 2012 competition willalso feature a series of fourteen national work-shops in six of South Africa’s provinces, wherecrucial entrepreneurial skills will be provided toattending business owners. Entrepreneurs inter-ested in entering can download entry forms on-line at www.eoy.co.za as well as interact with fel-low entrepreneurs and entrants on the 2012 San-lam/Business Partners Entrepreneur of theYear® competition social media platforms https://twitter.com/#!/EOY_SA and http://www.face-book.com/pages/EOY/330219423683690.

ON Wednesday, the Minister ofFinance, Pravin Gordhan, deliv-ered his third full Budget speechin parliament.
Gordhan discussed, among oth-ers, R6.2 billion for job creation; taxbreaks to support non-retirementsavings; and relief in the form of taxincentives to help small and micro-businesses. However, it’s thechanges in sin tax and fuel levieswhich have set tongues wagging.People’s Post took to the streets tosee what you thought about the ef-fect the budget speech will have onyour pocket.
Budgetblues
PAY FOR YOUR SINS: “The ‘sin tax’ isgoing to put drinkers and smokers indeeper financial difficulty becausethey’re not going to stop drinking andsmoking, no matter how high the pricesgo” said Thembe Gxesi Photo: SummerJacobs
EXTERNAL FORCES: John Law-rence comments: “I don’t think thegovernment has much control on taxhikes because there are a lot of exter-nal forces at play, so we just have tocomply.”
SPEND IT WELL: “I’m a big smokerand I think the price increase in alco-hol and cigarettes is fantastic, be-cause after all it is wrong to be smok-ing and drinking. I would feel happierif I knew the tax we pay on theseitems was put to good use,” said MrsKyne and her dog Eto.
DOMINO EFFECT: “I feel that as ayoungster I can’t do much socialisingbecause everything is just so expen-sive. I’m not a driver, yet the petrolincreases affects me too becauseonce it goes up, everything else goesup,” says Charnay Martin.

Help business and fu-ture professionalsBUSINESSES are encouraged tomake use of students from furthereducation and training collegesseeking work placement to combatthe shortage of adequately qualifiedstaff.
Thanks to the College of Cape Town,these students can be tried out at nocost to companies, while at the sametime giving the employee the opportuni-ty to develop their skills for a short peri-od.
As work placement officers, the col-lege’s assignment is to place studentswho are registered for their VocationalNational Certificate, National Diplomaand other college programmes with em-ployers for periods of workplace-basedexperience and in-service training.
The college’s goal is to place stu-dents for between five and 10 consecu-tive days in each year of study for work-place-based experience and 18months for in-service training. Duringthese placements, employers areasked to orientate students to theircompanies and allow them to workalongside employees doing jobs relat-ed to the students’ field of study.
For many young people, obtainingthis kind of work experience has beenlife-transforming. They have developeda better understanding of their chosencareer and how it is practised in theworkplace. This has motivated them towork harder and succeed. Many stu-dents have forged relationships withemployers that led to immediate offersof employment after graduation.
Employers benefit, too as studentsare a source of future employees thatyou can get to know before hiring.
By hosting students, employers geta chance to influence the training thatthe college provides and slant it moretowards the needs of the industry.
Employers can also get points ontheir company’s BEE scorecard.
Should a company be willing to host
two or more of its students, the collegewould gladly assist by facilitating theplacement process.
Workplace-based experience place-ment for the Vocational National Certifi-cate occurs during the April, June/Julyand September/October vacations.
In-service work placement for Na-tional Diploma students are scheduledfor November/December.
These experiential training sessionsare aligned with the Department ofHigher Education and Training’s re-quirements.
No financial contribution is expectedfrom the host employer for workplace-based experience.
However, a nominal stipend to stu-dents completing their 18 months in-service training would assist them insatisfying financial commitments in-curred during the in-service training pe-riod.
The college hopes that more compa-nies will join them in this important exer-cise.
Companies are invited to contact thecollege to explore how placing its stu-dents can help grow their business andbottom line.
For more information on work place-ment at the college, phone Winston Da-mons on (021) 404 6700.
The College of Cape Town also offersbursaries for registered students withsound academic results who are inneed of financial assistance.
For more information on bursaries,contact the college’s information line on086 010 3682 or email [email protected].

energy saving lightbulbs contain is almostused up by the time the lightbulb is readyfor disposal. So try not to break the
lamp and dispose of CFLs at participatingretailers.

Tuesday 28 February 2012 MOTORING People’s Post Grassy Park Page 13
DRIVING a car should provide a smooth ridethat does not feel uneven or shaky. However,constant driving and potholes can seriouslythrow a car’s wheel alignment out of line. Thisshould prompt a driver to head over to a tyreshop for wheel rebalancing.
Tyres need to be rebalanced due to the weightof the wheel becoming distributed unevenly.
Even small imbalances of only an ounce ofweight can cause a vehicle to vibrate at speedsof over 120km/h.
It is a general rule that all four tires on a automo-bile should be rebalanced every 20 000km.
Another sign to watch out for is uneven treadpatterns on the tyre which indicates that the tyresare misaligned.
This is often not the case with most drivers. De-spite the fact the wheels may appear to be bal-anced, only a wheel balancer machine can dis-covereven the slightest discrepancies.
Additional problems arise when a car’s tyresare not balanced correctly.
In addition to tyre wear, a car’s suspensiongoes through extra stress due to the unbalancedtyres.
Steering components also suffer as does fuelconsumption.
Tyre traction and steering control are also re-duced when tyres need to be balanced.
Ultimately, it is important to rebalance a car’styres to prevent damage and ensure the safetyof those riding within the vehicle.
A standard wheel balancing will require that acertified mechanic removes the wheels and putsit on a balancer machine to spin.
After spinning, the machine will determine thelocations where the imbalances are located.
Wheel balancers are placed on the rims to dis-tribute the weight more evenly and put the wheelinto balance.
A final spin is done to make sure that the wheelis balanced with the wheel balancers in place. Af-ter this step, the wheels are placed back on thevehicle, for a smoother, safer vehicle to drive.
Unbalanced wheels are a danger on the roadand for anyone who is driving on them. Wobblingwheels can cause a loss of driver control that canlead to a more serious accident.
Making the choice to rebalance tyres often isa great decision that will impact the life of the car’styres and the vehicle that they are placed on.
It cannot be stressed enough that wheel bal-ancing plays a vital role in keeping a vehicle ingood shape. – AGSelectImports.com

YourSMSesYou are what you eat
. A Christian is a follower of Christ and Jesusnever ate swine flesh as He obeyed all of God’scommandments. Jack
. To Atheist: unless you change, you’re on yourway to a burning hell, pork and all.
. Othmaan, the scripture you refer to is underthe law of God. Jesus said: “I came not to changethe law but to free you from the law”, meaning weare under His grace. He also says, anything thatyou buy in a butcher “you may eat if you pray aboutit in my name” and “what I have made clean don’tyou make unclean”. We as followers of Jesus be-lieve He is God manifested in flesh. Read Johnchapter one. We don’t live under the law but undergrace. WJ
. God provided us with an abundance of freshfruit and vegetables. It is healthier than the obses-sion with meat, halaal or not. In fact, scientists be-lieve that with all these diseases hitting our planet,man is exposed to a variety of illnesses throughthe consumption of meat. Hawkers are virtuallybegging us to buy their cheap fruit and vegetables.It is more freely available than unhealthy meats!Viva vegans! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thinkvegetarians are sensible people and healthier too!Lewis, Lansdowne
. We live in a country filled with diversity and
yet we refuse to accept each other. We have manydifferent beliefs and religions, so whether you eatpork or not is no-one’s business. Who made youthe judge? Why don’t you practice your religionand keep your nose out of other religions. OnlyGod can be our judge.
. Eat pork! “Do not let anyone judge you by whatyou eat or drink; or with regard to a religious festi-val...” (Colossians 2:16). Johnny
. Pig flesh produces a dangerous worm calledtrichenilla. Frying, cooking or grilling can’t kill itsembryo. This worm attacks intestines and mus-cles. Modern science has failed to combat thisworm. Even domestic production under scientifichusbandry and technical supervision have failedto control it. The French encyclopedia Laroussestates it heads for the heart, settles in the throatmuscles, eyes and diaphragm. This dangerousworm stays alive in the body for years.
. Seems to me you are just ignorant and in doubtowing to all the different opinions about your Bible.It just shows that it was written by man. Wake upand believe in one God. Shakes
. Please people, it’s not a Muslim and Christianfight. Take the fight to Orion and the MJC.
. It seems the Bible is contradicting itself by al-lowing pork to be eaten and also prohibiting it. Isthe Bible really God’s word?
Just a thought. I am an unemployed mother of two and I am
upset, because these days you are hired by insti-tutions dependant on the way you pay your bills,not by your skills and knowledge. The economyis going to suffer greatly because young produc-tive people are sitting at home.
. My husband and I are ardent sport fans andare especially interested in rugby and cricket. Weare both retired and we will be looking forward toreading Liam Moses’ sport columns regularly. Wealso want to wish Liam a happy and long stay withPeople’s Post. Good luck! Maz
. The ANC is set on changing names but thiswill not change history. It will only take moneyaway from the housing projects and the poor. MrsDavids
. Why do we pay R9 for a loaf of bread? I thoughtthe government is regulating the prices/ Or arethey regulating their salaries?
. Budget speech – what a joke! Look at the fraudand corruption in the ANC provinces. Are youmaking up for all the Apartheid years? I’m in thewrong profession.
. My sympathy goes out to teachers who worklong hours, experience annual policy changes,have a bigger workload and whose job descriptionhas changed to nurse and social worker. Did yoursalary increase?
. The government is changing road names andwant input via Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp.Watch out Constantia and Simon’s Town: You willsoon be called Zuma Town, Malema Park orMbeki Suburb! They are starting with Vanguard
Drive. Send your opinion.
By the way. The reason shops worldwide use prices end-
ing in 99c is a simple marketing ploy. Think aboutit next time you see it’s only R19 when in fact it’scloser to R20. Josh
. If you know Mrs Peggy Juliet Booysen fromDelft, please tell her I picked up her ID and bankcard in Clicks. To collect, please provide me withthe ID number to confirm and collect personally.I can be contacted on 083 454 2245.
. To the family of Branden Staalmeester: ourdeepest sympathies on the passing of this kind,gentle and wonderful child. May the Almightystrengthen you in this difficult time. FromBranden’s friends and the Williams family.
. Sorry to all the dedicated Vodacom staff whowill see less of their families due to one impatient,arrogant client’s complaint.
Don’t worry guys – your manager, if he has abackbone, should undo the situation. Keep smil-ing, its him that’s miserable. Patient client
Asking for help,but no replyI SAT amazed in front of the televi-sion as our learned Minister of Fi-nance spoke about our economicoutlook for the next financial year.
The following words sounded likemusic to my ears “We must becomehonest activists in our communities,invest in people, community leadersshould protect their neighbour-hoods, how far will you get if you sitin your corner, what can you do foryour country”.
Now who do you think the ministerwas talking to? He was talking to meand you.
Since 2008, I asked for supportfeeding the poor, help came from no-body.
When I became a letter activist toappeal for the utilisation of unusedland for vegetable gardens for ourhungry communities, who respond-ed, nobody. When I appealed yearafter year for unwanted goods ortoys for the poorest of the poorkids in our communities, who re-sponded, nobody. When I sowed theidea of employing the unemployedyouth who are musically talented or
to expose them to malls and othervenues to earn a living, who took upthe flame, nobody.
When I shared the idea of ourStreet Crime Prevention Committeeto somebody, who responded, no-body.
I recently appealed for donationsto make pickled fish and give eastereggs to the poor during the comingEaster weekend. Who rushed tosupport or implement this idea, no-body.
There are times I want to give up,but then I see a need or I hear aspeech like yesterday’s.
I refuse to become a nobody whiletrying to motivate others to helpsomebody.
To those very few, thank you.There is somebody who helps me,who shows me time and time againto not depend on anybody, but onHim, our God.KEITH BLAKEOttery
SPCA to the rescueLast week I was driving on the M5 andthere was a man driving a white bakkiewith a dog on the back.
The bakkie did not have a canopy andwas not closed off, he had a big collararound the dog’s neck and a rope tiedon either side of the dog’s neck, attach-ing it to the sides of the bakkie.
The dog could not even lie down be-cause the rope was so tight. If he hadan accident or had to brake, the dog’sneck would have broken and he wouldhave died.
I called the SPCA and gave them the
registration, CA75488, and also sentthem a photo.
I was very impressed to receive aphone call from them a few days laterinforming me that they had gone to thetraffic department and traced the vehi-cle.
They went to the premises to inspect.Unfortunately they did not find the dogor the vehicle at that address.
I just wanted to say a big thank youto the SPCA Inspectorate of Grassypark for their willingness to go the extramile and encourage others to support
them in any way possible.I have their number saved on my
phone, if you want to report any animalcruelty please contact 083 326 1604.
If you know the whereabouts of theman with the white bakkie who thinksit is OK to tie a dog to a bakkie and getaway with it, please report him to theSPCA.LEIGHCape Town

Thumbs up for new Archbish-opArchbishop Thabo Makgoba is a highlyappropriate choice as successor to An-glican Archbishop Emeritus DesmondTutu to become the new chancellor ofthe University of Cape Town, and ad-ministration head.
Brian Williams and his selection com-mittee must be applauded for their wisedecision and discernment.
Makgoba has a proven track recordlike Tutu, and he is unafraid to articulatecommentary with utmost grace on anyprevailing injustice ruffling the proverbi-al “Big Brother’s” feathers.
Despite his comparative youth,Makgoba has risen to the demanding
social challenges of the day, with hismost recent admonishment of the ANCled government’s controversial secrecybill, and his passion for nature conser-vation and the effects of global warmingand climate change on the earth.
He is a role model of impeccable stat-ure and takes a special interest in theholistic development of South Africanyouth.
Stalwart struggle hero and NobelPeace prize laureate, the stoical Tutu,must be saluted for the pivotal rolehe has played to ensure the peacefulliberation and democratization of bothSouth Africa, and in particular, the Uni-
versity of the Western Cape as chancel-lor – a position he held for 23 years.Makgoba’s new appointment as chan-cellor of UWC heralds the breed ofyoung leaders in South Africa, and asa fellow Anglican, I wish him well, as heis a worthy and deserving candidate.“Well done, thy good and faithful serv-ant!”MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn
Where there’s smoke,there’s fire and rescueSMOKE DETECTION cameraswhich were in operation threeyears ago will be reintroduced in abid to reduce the devastation a firecan cause.
The camera system forms an in-tegral part of Fire and RescueServices’ commitment to respond-ing to fires as quickly as possible,explains JP Smith, the MayoralCommittee Member for Safety andSecurity, wo continues that the de-partment constantly explores waysin which technology can make theresponse more efficient.
The camera system is designedto detect and plot the location of fireand smoke within a radius of 5kmfrom the camera’s location. The in-formation is then transmitted to theFire and Rescue Services’ Com-mand and Control Centre in Good-wood, where the location is plotted
on a map and the necessary vehi-cles dispatched to the incident.
There are currently six camerasacross the city, including the V&AWaterfront, Muizenberg’s CinebarFlats and at the Cape Town Inter-national Airport.
Plans are afoot to expand thesystem to an additional five areas,including the King’s Blockhouse –to cover the Mowbray to Wood-stock areas – and Hout Bay for theSuikerbossie area.
The fire and smoke detectioncamera system is used worldwide,with the American Forestry Depart-ment making extensive use of it indense forest areas.

Bike show revsup for good causeTHE annual Cape Town Bike Show was
launched in December 2010 and hasbeen a great success.
The aim is to put together an outdoor exhibitof motorcycles along with displays from motorcy-cle manufacturers and suppliers.
This will also provide a great opportunity for thebiking community to come together once againin aid of a charity as well as for members of thepublic to get up close and personal with thesebeautifully made machines.
Few people realise how much fundraising thebiking community does in the Western Cape.
Bikers represent every walk of life, from bank-ers and managing directors to local doctors andschool principals, yet popular media often mis-represents them.
Somewhat like the often misunderstood squat-ter camp inhabitants who are served by the de-serving charity behind this event.
This year’s event – on Sunday 4 March – isbeing planned as an annual fundraising vehiclefor Living Way – a part of Living Hope – whichis strategically positioned adjacent toMasiphumelele Township on Kommetjie Roadand is also within walking distance of Ocean
View, two of their primary catchment areas. Theywork to provide opportunities for people to earntheir way out of poverty, including preparing peo-ple for the world of work and developing entrepre-neurs to make their dreams a reality. Living Wayis working to enable the under-resourced to meetthe market’s employment needs. There will alsobe stalls offering a variety of motorcycle relateditems. Alongside bikes and related items, therewill be food and beverage stalls and a jumpingcastle and play area for the kids. Join them onSunday 4 March at the new venue, the LivingHope Campus (on Kommetjie Road). Gates willbe open to the public between 10:00 and 16:00.There is parking for motorcycles inside the venueand for vehicles in the surrounding area, moni-tored by security for peace of mind. Entry is R35per person, including a metal badge, while chil-dren aged three to 12 pay R5.
