MANENBERG Plato in gangland to explain law EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt D an Plato, provincial minister of com- munity safety, visited Heideveld and Manenberg last week to inform resi- dents of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (Poca). The Act is intended to empower communi- ties to help police in isolating and removing gangsters from society and imprison drug- lords. According to Lieutenant Ian Bennett, Ma- nenberg police’s spokesperson, Plato’s mes- sage was clear: community members who continue to violate laws by dealing in drugs and participating in other illegal activities from inside municipal flats will be dealt with in the harshest possible manner and be evicted from these premises. “For too long our communities have com- plained about the ‘known gangsters’ and the ‘alleged druglords’ who intimidate every- one, operate as if they are above the law and perpetuate the cycle of drugs, guns and gangs that wreak havoc in our communi- ties,” said Plato. The Act takes a combative stance against organised crime, money laundering, crimi- nal gang activities and racketeering. The Act is not only intended to criminalise gang activity, but also criminalises the failure of community members to report crime they have witnessed. “We aim to take a firm stand, backed by legislation, to help realise safer communi- ties,” added Plato. The department of community safety has collaborated with the police, the depart- ments of education and social development as well as various community police forums and neighbourhood watches. Plato’s department will continue to roll out similar programmes throughout Cape Town over the next two months. “We want each community member to have confidence that when information is reported to the police, it will be investigated and action will be taken. I will continue to provide the police with all the names, allega- tions of illegal activity and information on unlawful conduct I receive from community members,” said Plato. Meanwhile, Major-General Vincent Bea- ton encouraged the youth to take a stand against gangs and to study. “Education is the gateway to uproot gangs and end poverty,” he said. He added that the youth needed to be in- spired in the communities they lived and that parents needed to take greater responsi- bility and ensure their children strove to be- come the great people they ought to be. He said parents needed to know where their children were and with whom they spending time. It is through little parental participation that the youth joined gangs, he claimed. Beaton also expressed his concern about police officers who were not delivering qual- ity and efficient services to the community. He encouraged community members to re- port a lack of service in their area so that he could deal with it. Kadar Jacobs, chairperson of the Manen- berg community police forum (CPF), reiter- ated the importance or working with the po- lice. He said the attacks on police members when executing their duties would not be tolerated. “The CPF will not stand for this type of ac- tion. There needs to be a closer working rela- tionship with police in order to root out criminals and their activity.”

Fighting cancerone step at a timeRAGHEEMAH ARENDS
The Cancer Association of South Africa(Cansa) hosted its tenth annual Relay for
Life event at Vygieskraal Stadium fromFri-day to Saturday.
The event celebrated cancer survivors,applauded their caregivers and commemo-rated those who have lost their lives to thedisease. The overnight event started with aspeech by Anthea Bingle, chairperson ofCansa’s Athlone branch, and awalk aroundthe track by 300 cancer survivors, accompa-nied by the Western Cape Marching BandAssociation.
Rayghanah Cassiem, who was diagnosedwith breast cancer at 46, said that cancerhad changed her life by forcing her to seizelife after finding out her cancer had pro-gressed to stage four, meaning that the can-cer had already started to spread in herbody.
“We need educating to reduce the risk be-cause early detection saves lives. I exer-cised, I ate properly like anybody else andwhen they told me I had cancer, I thought,this is a stupid doctor. How can I have can-cer? At first, I didn’t think it was a blessingbut because of cancer, I saw the world …Don’t count the seconds, make the secondscount,” she said.“It is important for the community; we
need research because we need to find acure for cancer. If there is early detectionand treatment is started much sooner, thenit makes it much easier for the cancer pa-tient,” said Bingle, who is a cancer survivorherself. Her disease has been in remissionfor the past 16 years.
Not even the unexpected downpour coulddampen the spirit of participants.Cancer survivor Ayiesha Kamish felt
moved by the support she received at theevent.
“I am extremely overwhelmed; it is thefirst time I’m here. Listening to all the la-
dies that have had it for many years is actu-ally very motivational for me; the supportis there,” said Kamish.
“It is like a stigma, ‘don’t talk about it’ –this event shows people that it is not a deathsentence.”There were numerous marquees erected
by each of the 148 teams participating in therelay. Each team represented a differenttype of cancer to go along with their mar-quee tent set up according to the type of can-cer they were assigned.Cansa ensured that participants and sup-
porters were not only kept entertained bythe various performances taking place onstage, but that they left the event with a lit-tle more knowledge about the differenttypes of cancer as well as early detectionand treatment.

A successful forum meeting took place insector 3 last Monday.The sector forummeeting,whichwasused
as a platform for a police imbizo and a subfo-rum election, “went well”, says communitypolice forum chairperson Rafique Foflonk-er.Sector 3 covers Crawford, Belthorn,
Mountview, Railway, Rylands extension 3and Rylands extension 5.Two subforum positions were open for
election – chairperson and deputy chairper-
son. Foflonker confirms Mohamed Bodafrom Rylands extension 5 was elected chair-person. Deputy chairperson is Faizel Dolliefrom Penlyn.“We are glad that the election went well.
We are working on building cohesion in ourpolicing precinct again,” Foflonker says.Crime issues that were discussed during
the meeting ranged from wheelie bin push-ers, trolley brigades, response timeby policeand resources at Lansdowne police stationto neighbourhood watches.“This sector is especially concerned about
the wheelie bin scratchers and trolley push-ers in the area. Residents are, however, en-
couraged not to leave their bins unattend-ed,” Foflonker says.Police sector 3 manager Sergeant Shafiek
Manuel urged residents to take in their binsas soon as refuse had been collected.“This will also discourage bin scratchers
from coming in to the area. If a bin is leftunattended all day this encourages and in-vites vagrants and unsavoury characters in-to the area,” Foflonker added.“If you are unable to take your bin in dur-
ing the day, ask a neighbour to take it outjust before the truck comes around and haveit put back. This is an effective way of keep-ing unwanted elements out,” Manuel said.
With regard to trollies being used in thearea to cart goods, Foflonker says theirhands are cut off most of the time.“This is a bit tricky as these trollies are
the private property of supermarkets,” hesays. “When an arrest is made in the eventof finding stolen items in a trolley, we findthat the businesses are not willing to followthrough on the court process.”“Our police should be concentrating on
themajor crimes in the area but they are po-licing these issues as well. However, thismight be an inefficient use of the resource.But we are doing our best to address this is-sue,” he says.

With the sunnier days threatening todisappear for a while, car enthusiasts
made the most of the sun on one of the big-gest car events at the Athlone Stadium yes-terday.TheCapeTownMotor Showkicked off on
Human Rights Day with much excitementas motoring enthusiasts gathered to appre-ciate all things automobile, boasting an al-ready 2500-strong crowd by midday.Event coordinator Gustav Serfontein
says this year’s eventwas focused on safetyon the roads.“Our car clubs even came on board this
year with the concept of safety on the road.Their displays depicted the dangers ofspeeding on the road. Our ultimate mes-sage is basically to keep the speeding andracing in a controlled environment insteadof on our public roads,” Serfontein says.He adds that the event covers all aspects
of the motoring industry except one.“At the moment racing is not part of the
event, but we are definitely looking at in-corporating this for our next Cape TownMotor Show event during next year. How-ever, for now we have all kinds of catego-ries on show from old-school classics rightthrough to our drifters and spinners thisyear,” he says.“Another aspect we were really focused
on this yearwas to host the event as family-friendlyaspossible.Wehave food stalls andchildren’s entertainment, bringing the carfraternity even closer together. We arelooking at expanding this event by nextyear and establishing the Cape Town carfraternity during next year,” Serfonteinsays.The event hosted a live broadcast with

Man arrested withfirearm, ammoThe City of Cape
Town’s StabilisationUnit arrested a 31-year-old man in Sabie Cres-cent in Manenberg lastThursday after he wasfound with a 357 Mag-num firearm and sixrounds of ammunition.
In Grassy Park, theCity’s Integrated Road-block Unit arrestedthree men after receiv-ing a tip-off.
A resident had no-ticed them sitting in aparked car in 2nd Ave-nue for a long time andbecame suspicious.
Officers searched thecar and found a firearm.
The firearms havebeen sent for ballistic tests to determine ifthey can be linked to other crimes.
“The perception that peak holiday peri-ods divert attention away from day-to-dayenforcement is misplaced.
“We will ensure that we continue to havea presence in all areas, in spite of the in-creased demands.“It becomes easier to do effective enforce-
ment when you havemembers of the publicwho are willing to pick up the phone andreport suspicious activity,” warns JPSmith, Mayco member for safety and secu-rity, as he announces that the City’s en-forcement agencies are replicating many ofits festive season interventions to keep lo-cals and visitors safe this holiday.
The agencies will implement some of theaspects of the festive season enforcementplan, which includes a sharpened focus on
drunk driving and other traffic transgres-sions, patrols along major routes like theN2, safeguarding beaches and other publicareas and doing duty at the many eventsthat take place during this holiday.Smith claims operators don’t care about
the safety of commuters.“I have noticed the grumbles of operators
in recent days about the pending safetychecks. They clearly have little regard forthe safety of the hundreds of commuterswho will be relying on them to get home totheir loved ones for the holidays.“I urge bus and taxi drivers, but also pri-
vatemotorists, to get their vehicles checkedbefore they hit the long road. What’s worse– getting to your destination a little later ornot at all?” Smith says.V To report emergencies, call 107 from a landline or021 480 7700 from a cellphone.

US teachers visit educares in PhilippiGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
The Rotary Club of Claremont isplaying a part in improving ear-
ly childhood development (ECD)centres in Philippi.
The club’s Injongo EducareProject is a comprehensive ECD in-itiative that has addressed a varie-ty of needs at 47 educare centres inthe Philippi area.
Five American teachers recentlycompleted a three-week teachingexchange programme. They spenta week working with staff and chil-dren at Albertina Sisulu and Khul-uleka educare centres in Philippi.
Elizabeth Cannone, one of theAmerican teachers, spoke abouther experiences.
“In every classroom we entered,we were welcomed so warmly,” shesaid.
“The children and staff were soexcited to learn and while we haveshared from our experience in the
United States, we feel just as fortu-nate to have learnt so much fromthe incredibly strong women herewho are such passionate teachers.”
By working closely with the pro-vincial departments of social de-velopment and education, the edu-care project aims to create a plat-form where innovative methods inECD are shared to foster new ap-proaches and improve the overallquality of development for eachchild.
“As part of the programme, weare excited that five of our localECD teachers from the WesternCape will travel to Connecticut inApril for a four-week visit as partof the exchange,” says Tom Berg-mann-Harris, president of the Ro-tary Club of Claremont.
“The teachers have already meteach other in Cape Town, so the in-formation-sharing relationshipshave begun. The idea is for knowl-edge and best practice to be sharedso that the best teaching methods
can ensure optimal developmentfor all the children attending ECDcentres.”
Bergmann-Harris explained theimportance of working closelywith child and childcare workersduring a key stage of their develop-ment – the first 1000 days of theirlives.
“Research has shown how achild can truly flourish with thebest possible outcomes when theirearly development is prioritised,”he said.
“All young people should be ableto benefit from a world-class stan-dard of education. This teachingexchange has injected a new levelof interest into the programme andits goals.
“We have enjoyed every part ofthis programme so far and new re-lationships have been establishedat a number of different levels.”V For more information on the Rotary Clubof Claremont visit http://claremontrota-ry.co.za/.

Bennett says no-one could be arrestedas it was found that many people had ac-cess to the house and the owner seemedto have no idea of the drugs.

Crash risk higher if emotions flyThere are some “choice” expressions that
South Africans use when driving, someof which are no doubt a reflection of frustra-tions, dissatisfaction or pressures broughtabout while working.While we have been advised that these are
precursors to possible road rage,wemaynothaveput themintoperspective fromthe like-lihood of being involved in a crash.According tonewresearchby theVirginia
Tech Transportation Institute in the UnitedStates, drivers increase their crash risknearly tenfold when they get behind thewheel while visibly angry, sad, crying oremotionally agitated.It was also discovered that drivers more
than double their crash risk when they en-gage in distracting activities that requirethem to take their eyes off the road, such asusing a cellphone, reading orwriting andus-ing touchscreen menus on a car’s instru-ment panel.This research revealed that drivers dial-
ling handheld cellphones increase theirchance of crashing by 12 times. Reading orwriting, including on a tablet, increasescrash risk 10 times.Reaching for an object (other than a cell-
phone) bumps up the crash risk by ninetimes.According to the institute’s research, driv-
ers in the country surveyed engage in some
type of distracting activity about half of thetime while driving a car. One can only butimagine what the percentage for South Af-rican driverswould be – howmuchhigher?
Gen Y drivingThese findings are important because
there is an ever-increasing younger popu-lation of drivers, particularly teenagers,whoaremoreprone to engaging indistract-ing activities while driving, and the analy-sis shows that, if no steps are taken in thenear future to limit the number of distract-ing activities, thosewho represent the nextgeneration of drivers will only continue tobe at greater risk of a crash.Of interestwashow travellingwell above
the speed limit creates about 13 times therisk, and driver performance errors suchas suddenor improperbrakingorbeingun-familiar with a car or road have an impacton individual risk, according to research-
ers.No doubt the following observations will
please women drivers who are pretty muchstereotyped as researchers also found sever-al factors previously thought to increasedriver risk – including applying makeup orfollowing a car too closely – actually had alower prevalence in the driving study. Thatmeans they wereminimally present or werenot present at all in the crashes analysed.Male drivers be warned!All things considered then, the message
we take from a study such as this one is thatwhile some behaviours can be corrected bytraining, there are some which can – andshould – be addressed by taking a check onour emotions (or letting a friend or familymember’s “words ofwisdom” sink in) beforegetting behind the wheel.Take care and get a grip on your emotions
when driving.– Eugene Herbert
According to research, it is not a good idea to get behind the wheel when you are in a badmood.

Eagles establish nest in HeideveldEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Crystal Palace Football Club’sfoundation visited Heideveld andHout Bay recently to conduct a se-ries of coaching clinics and hosta mini-tournament.The tournament saw u.11 boys
and u.13 girls compete for theright to play at the Barclays Pre-mier League (BPL) Live event,which took place in Camps Bayover the weekend.However, one of the more im-
portant aims of the day in Heidev-eld was to establish a legacy forCrystal Palace, affectionatelyknown as the Eagles in the region.The event was facilitated and
organised by Active Communi-ties, a British-based organisationwith an office in Cape Town, withwhich Crystal Palace has workedin the past.Robin Falken, project manager
of Active Communities in CapeTown, said having Palace visitHeideveld was significant in it-self.“It is massive for the communi-
ty as soccer is a major sport in thecommunities; it is the most domi-nant and most popular sportthroughout.“These kids often look up to the
soccer stars as their role modelsand for them to get out of the cir-cumstances that they are in,” hesaid.GaryMulcahey, sports develop-
ment director of the Crystal Pal-ace foundation, said although thefirst team has been to Cape Townduring their pre-season, this hasbeen the first time that the clubhas had an opportunity to involveitself in community work.“The club was here pre-season
and played some games in the sta-dium and really enjoyed it andthat was one of the reasons which
were great when the PremierLeague announced Cape Townwas going to be the venue for BPLLive and we were going to makesure thatCrystal Palacewas goingto have a presence here in the lo-cal townships,” he said.Mulcahey said the aim was to
get children to play and enjoyplaying in a tournament set-up.“Speaking to coaches locally,
they train a lot, but there are notmany competitions like this. Thatwas one area that they wanted toget going.“Also we are here to see local
talent and see what players thereare out there.“If we can do well in the local
communities, then these kids willalways remember Crystal Palaceand the day that they came tothem and hopefully we can leavea legacy and they will have a littlesoft spot for Crystal Palace,” headded.

excitement as well as entertain-ment galore.Theu.14 soccer event has attract-
ed the cream of the crop. The tour-nament sees 24 teams from acrossthe Cape Peninsula vying for thesought-after championship trophyin the gold section.It is hosted by of one of the oldest

make new friendships since thecommon love of soccer will defi-nitely bring them together. Theycan even keep in contact for sever-al years after the prestigiousEaster youth soccer cup.”He adds it is not only the players,
but also fans who come to be enter-tained and share in the feast ofyouth soccer.The organisers of the Easter
tournament hope to provide greatgames and, by doing so, perhapsentice and inspire players andtheir teams to have the same inter-est in soccer.“Our main goal is to ensure that
the youth soccer festival be evenbetter, larger and more enjoyable.We are very proud of what we haveachieved so far but it does notmean that we did not know whatwe could reach.“We would like to have even

Bothasig win backtoback titlesSEAN CAMPBELL
Bothasig thumped Silvertree 15-0in their penultimate game of theseason to secure their secondBAWP Major League title in frontof their home supporters.Similarly to last season’smaiden
championship, it was a collectiveeffort that brought Bothasig theback-to-back league titles.With one game to go, Bothasig
boast 23 wins and four losses. Twoof their losses cameback-to-back inthe early part of the season – toBellville and Durbanville respec-tively.They then went on a nine-game
winning streak before they weresurprised byWestridge Yankees inMitchell’s Plain. Just as theygot ona decent run again, Athlone A’sdowned them2-1 in their last defeat
of the season.Athlone A’s were also their last
opponents yesterday and are insecond place in the league. Athlonehas a record of 21 wins and six loss-es.Bothasig’s championship season
was built around the excellentpitching by Dylan Unsworth andJared Elario, whichwas supportedsuperbly by Brad Erasmus and Lu-cas Steinlin from Germany.This was backed up by a solid de-
fensive unit which conceded theleast runs in the league.Although the offensive did not
set the scene alight, the consistenthitting by Kyle Botha, Brett Wil-lemburg, the Feldtman brothers,Andrew Norman and Benji Smithalways posed a threat to the opposi-tion. Newbies Tyrone Milne andNick Eagles also stepped up when
required.Bothasig showed the depth in the
club when they kept on winningwhile five of their players wereaway on national duty.Bothasig’s squad was boosted by
Steinlin, a more consistent Nor-man and the promotion of Milneand Eagles from the reserve side.They also bolstered their coach-
ing departmentwhen they broughtin Greg Willemburg (VOB) andShaunMarshall (Bellville) to assistRaymond Tew and Neil Adonis toprepare the team.All players in the Bothasig side
have been selected for either theWPA, WPB or WP u.23 squads forthe national tournament at Chuk-ker Road Sports Complex nextweek. Except for Duane Feldtman,who was not available for selec-tion.
