The board is also still in the process of restruc- turing neighbourhood watch organisations to become “community safety structures” that are accountable to CPF subforums. People’s Post previously reported that Vernon Fortune, chairperson of the association, had at- tacked the cluster CPF chairperson, Michael Jacobs, in a letter sent to a number of people and government departments (“Neighbourhood watch members investigated”, 30 August). The conduct of MPNWA executive members is also under review in the wake of Fortune’s letter. In this letter, a copy of which is in People’s Post’s possession, Fortune claimed Jacobs was “caus- ing great chaos and bringing the MPNWA into disrepute”. Fortune claimed Jacobs had contravened the CPF constitution on a number of occasions, and suggested the provincial CPF board pass a vote of no confidence in him. Mitchell’s Plain Police Cluster head, Major General Jeremy Vearey, said Fortune’s letter was of great concern as “proper procedures were not followed as prescribed in the constitution of the CPF”. “All cluster-based neighbourhood watches will only be accountable and take instructions from the subforums, which are the superior au- thority to the sector neighbourhood watch – and this only in consultation with the sector com- mander,” said Vearey. During a meeting last month, a decision was taken by the cluster board to suspend the activi- ties of the association’s executive. Gamiet Cas- siem, Mitchell’s Plain CPF chairperson, and Colonel Cass Goolam, a senior officer in the Mitchell’s Plain Policing Cluster, were tasked with carrying out an investigation into the mat- ter. At a subsequent meeting, the Provincial CPF board disbanded the association after Fortune apparently admitted to protocol violations. Vearey says he became extremely suspicious after he was informed by various sources that the association would not take instructions fol- lowing a meeting in July. “Fraud allegations were surfacing from all parts of Mitchell’s Plain; sectors are claiming that funds due to the neighbourhood watches were never received. There has been no audit in- to the assets and the donations received by the association. The police are a national organisa- tion, and I will act in accordance with the law. The CPF subforums are the authority.” Vearey warns that any organisations “still go- ing around using the name of the association to raise funds are committing fraudulent acts”. The MPNWA’s executive members have hand- ed in all their equipment and ID cards since be- ing sent letters commanding them do so. Some of the neighbourhood watches in the ar- ea withdrew their affiliation to the CPF struc- ture following the disbandment of the associa- tion; however many later retracted this decision. Under the new community safety structure system, “the chairpersons of all 14 sector neigh- bourhood watches to appoint a convener, as per the CPF constitution, who serve on the CPF exec- utive,” explains Hanief Loonat, the Provincial CPF chairperson. “All sector-based neighbour- hood watches are now directly accountable to the CPF Sub Forums.” Jacobs adds that the process of “realigning” neighbourhood watches to community safety structures under the command of CPF subfo- rums started in April last year, after the adop- tion of the uniform Constitution of Community Police Forums the month before. “We have con- sulted with the various roleplayers, informing them of the changes.

ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER
Show on the roadPROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN (PSA)
supports and welcomes government’sAutomotive Production and Develop-ment Programme (APDP).
Set to be launched in 2013, it will come intoalignment with government’s broader Indus-trial Policy Action Plan (IPAP2) to boost jobcreation locally. The APDP plan will replacethe Motor Industry Development Plan, whichwas initiated by government in 1995.
The manufacturing of locally-built trucksand buses was last regulated by govern-ment’s Local Content Programme, whichended in 1994. This plan contained stringentrequirements for local diesel engine andtransmission fitting.
Some elements of the programme could in-clude:
•The assembly of chassis or cabs and buschassis units imported from semi-knockeddown and completely knocked down units,and the local erection of imported knockeddown integral vans and buses.
•The modification of standard importedunits tomeet local dimensional and specifica-tion preferences.
•The manufacture, assembly and fitting ofload-handling equipment such as hydraulicplatforms, tailgate lifts, cranes, skips, androll-on units.
•The fitting and installation on locally as-sembled chassis of more complex equipmentimported from overseas such as fire fighting,specialised refuse handling and drillingequipment. Leslie Sedibe, Proudly South Af-rican CEO, commends Trade and Industriesminister Rob Davies on the work he and histeam are doing.
“It is clear that Department of Trade andIndustry is working as hard as possible to fo-cus and unlock job creation in South Africa.The Automotive Production and Develop-ment Plan is yet another example of this hardwork.
“On behalf of Proudly South African, weapplaud him and his team for their ongoingefforts in this regard, and continue to spurthem on for the good impact and achieve-ments they are making to advance South Af-rica’s job creation agenda. To the motor andautomotive industry this is definitely a stepin the right direction.”
Where there’s a will, there’s a wayStarting today, People’s Post will be pub-lishing a fortnightly legal column. To-day’s instalment focuses on wills.
•What is a will?A will is a legal document that describes
how one’s assets will be distributed afterdeath. It is of utmost importance to haveyour will drafted in a clear and concise man-ner, leaving no room for ambiguity. A loose-ly drafted will can cause many complica-tions.
•Why do you need to have a will?A will ensures that the people who are en-
titled to inherit your assets will receivetheir inheritance. Certain bequests can bemade. A will can direct that a testamentarytrust be registered in order to care for chil-dren or disabled people.
•Update your willIt is important to update your will when-
ever a new event or change occurs in yourlife – for example, marriage, having chil-dren, or divorce.
•The procedure in briefA person wanting to draft a will (known
as a testator) should consult his attorneys,who will help him do so. When the testatordies, the family will consult the attorneysand the relevant documents will be complet-ed with the attorneys’ assistance.
•Nomination of an executorAn executor carries out the terms of a a
will, and must be chosen carefully by the tes-tator. The executor must be a trustworthyand responsible person who will always actin the best interests of the heirs. There is noconcrete rule as to who can be an executor.
•Reporting the estateOnce all the relevant documentation has
been completed and the executor has been
nominated and signed the acceptance oftrust as executor, the estate can be reportedto the Master of the High Court, who willthen issue letters of executorship or, in thecase where an estate’s assets are belowR125 000 in value, a letter of authority. Anestate late banking account has to be openedin the event that the testator has left cashin bank accounts or policies.
•Advertising the estateAfter a testator dies a notice must be
placed in the Government Gazette and one ormore newspapers circulating in the area inthey lived, calling on all people with claimsto lodge them. A liquidation and distribu-tion account must be drafted within sixmonths of the receipt of the letters of execu-torship. Once the Master of the High Courthas approved the account, the estate canthen finally be wound up and heirs can bepaid their shares.The liquidationanddistri-bution account must remain for inspectionat the Master’s office and the Magistrate’sCourt in the area the deceased testator lived.
•CostsCosts involved in winding up the estate in-
clude executor’s fees, Master’s fees, attor-neys’ fees, bank charges, transfer costs ofproperties, bond cancellation fees and estateduty (depending on how large the estate is).
• Shireen Ahmed-Kagee Attorneys, whoseservices include the drafting of Shariah-compliant wills, are offering to draft a freebasic will during National Wills Week,which started yesterday (Monday) and endson Friday. The offer does not include amend-ments or redrafting of existing wills.

A fair chance for youths with disabilitiesTAURIQ HASSEN
FINDING WORK when you’restruggling with the challeng-
es of a disability can be incredi-bly difficult – which is why theDisability Workshop Develop-ment Enterprise (DWDE) hasjust launched a special careerfair targeting the issue.
The DWDE Career Fair, aimedlinking people with disabilitieswith potential employers, waswarmed up at a pre-launch event atBlack River Park in Observatorylast week.
The fair proper kicks off at theRiver Club in Observatory today(Tuesday), and it will continue untiltomorrow.
Exhibitors will include privateand public sector employers, re-cruitment agencies, training insti-tutions, bursary providers, youthorganisations and representativesfrom the City of Cape Town.
A number of heartening successstories were shared amid the pre-launch event, including that ofWandile Basse. Now the communi-cations manager at the DWDE,Basse was left visually impaired af-ter a hijacking attempt went horri-bly wrong – he was shot, and “wokeup blind”.
“I just knew I could not allow thatto slow me down, and it’s all thanksto the DWDE,” says Bassa.
The non-profit organisation hasbeen working toward the goal ofsourcing rewarding and sustaina-ble work for people with disabilitiessince its establishment in April2007, joining forces with both thegovernment and the private sectorto further its mission.
Karina Fischer, facilitator at theDWDE, couldn’t contain her excite-ment at the fair’s pre-launch ses-sion.
“This is an opportunity to showyouths with disabilities that thereis more to life, and their disability
should not slow them down,” shesays.
“Sometimes, when employers re-ceive an application, they noticethat the candidate has a disabilityand put that application at the bot-tom of the pile,” Fischer goes on.“This is the perception that needsto be changed, because rather thanrecognising the disability, the can-didate’s skills should be taken intoconsideration.”
Nwabisa Ncinita, whose righteye is blind, now works for Old Mu-tual after passing through theDWDE system.
She says she was “shocked”when she received the first job-offercall from Old Mutual.
“I thought I must grab this oppor-tunity with both hands, and noweverybody is so friendly and lookspast my disability. They’ve evenpromised that they will be sponsor-ing me with a prosthetic eye.”
The Career Fair will seek to gen-erate even more awareness among
employers about the viability ofgiving work to youths with disabili-ties, andwill formanentrypoint formanywho seek employment and ca-reer guidance. Everybody is wel-come.
The fair starts runs this morning
from 11:00 to 16:00, and tomorrowfrom 08:00 until 16:15. For furtherinformation, contact CandiceJansen at [email protected], or Wandile Basse on(021) 674-6139. Alternatively, visitwww.dwde.co.za.

Different, but equalTHE development of a disabled workforce isan important part of a thriving, modern econ-omy, and it seems only fitting in a countryin which diversity is a main draw card.
South Africa is said to have some of themost progressive laws and policies in theworld, safeguarding the disabled and ensur-ing employment equity.
It was disappointing last week to note me-dia reports revealing that South Africa wouldneed to double its efforts to reach its targetof having 2% of its workforce comprise peoplewith disabilities.
Speaking at the Disabled People’s Interna-tional eighth World Assembly in Durban lastweek, Lulu Xingwana, Minister for Women,Children and People with Disabilities, saidonly 0,9% of the country’s workforce wasmade up of disabled people.
While excellent policies exist on paper, thequestion remains: how successful is the im-plementation? Are the spin-offs of these poli-cies reaching those for whom the challengesof being disabled are very real?
Are government officials like Xingwana do-ing enough to drive policies? And is society’smindset changing rapidly enough to see a realintegration of disabled into the workplace?
Diversity in the workplace increases theodds of success for any business. A diverseworkforce leads to the development of betterideas, and the presence or lack of this innova-tion caneasily translate into sustainability orfailure in challenging financial times.
The disabled play a special role in makinga positive contribution to any working envi-ronment, and initiatives like the DisabilityWorkshop Development Enterprise’s CareerFair, launched last week, serves to breathenew life into the economy. This non-govern-mental organisation works toward sourcingrewarding work for the disabled, and show-cased many success stories at the launch.
Self reliance encourages confidence. Confi-dent people – including the disabled – makefor a healthy populace, and this, coupled withdiversity, is good for economic growth.

DO residents realise what our governmentis doing to its citizens when it threatens andintimidates us with fines and imprisonmentif we refuse to allow census takers to enterour premises?
Fair enough, they have been trained anddeclared to be free of any criminal record.They are tasked to ask us over 70 questionsin 45 minutes.
No government can force me to give thatkind of information to total strangers!
What I picked up on the news smacks ofthe “big brother is watching you” scenario.We’re steering towards a total control by gov-ernment over all aspects of our personallives.
I don’t think we elected the government toride roughshod over our rights to privacy ofpersonal information, mail and protectionagainst identity theft.
One government official said that theSouth African census is in line with other in-ternational countries, where taking a census
is normal. Okay, but we do not have to makethat kind of comparison for obvious reasons– for example, the type of scams, frauds andcrimes we find here that are different tothose elsewhere.
It is said that all the census takers havebeen vetted and have no criminal record.Fine! But anything and everything can befaked in South Africa, for example gangstersin SA police uniform hijacking an old lady.
In the same way, the census takers’ bibs,IDs, permits, all can be faked.
If Minister Fransman comes to my home,I will gladly let him in and answer thosequestions that will not lead to identity theft.
Elderly people in our community are total-ly helpless, as the number of recent home in-vasions show. What happens to them whencensus impostors access them?
Don’t laugh! The criminals would be stu-pid not to seize this opportunity, as they nor-mally do.HERBERT SYRE

Dancers breakout the bronzeTHE Western Cape’s Mlindi Kulashe(19), originally from Nyanga, and AshleyScott (17), from Hermanus, were award-ed bronze medals in the male and femalecategories at the recent Genée Interna-tional Ballet Competition, held at theArtscape Opera House.
The competition, the flagship event of theRoyal Academy of Dance (RAD), drew to anexciting close as dancers between the agesof 15 and 19 – hailing from all over the world– vied for supremacy in the sold-out two-daysemifinals, culminating in a showdown at ajam-packed venue on the final day.
“The warmth and enthusiasm that theRAD membership and ballet lovers in SouthAfrica have exuded for the Genée has beenphenomenal,” said RAD chief executiveLuke Rittner, who handed out the awards onstage.
“They have not only come out in numbersthis evening to watch and support the youngdancers, they have also orchestrated a re-markable number of events and activities allaround the country to raise funds for theGenée.”
The next Genée International Ballet Com-petition takes place in Wellington, New Zea-land, in 2012.

Cape Town teams go back to drawing boardsLYNN PRINS
A TOUGH weekend awaitsSantos and Ajax after disap-
pointing results on Friday andSaturday.
Santos, who lost to PlatinumStars 4-1 due to a lack of concentra-tion in defence, will now look to re-deem themselves come Friday.
Boebie Solomons, coach of San-tos, is adamant that his team is setfor the clash with Maritzburg Unit-ed.
“I know Maritzburg United verywell, as I have been a former coachat the club, and when you’re play-ing Telkom Knockout you onlyhave one chance.
“Preparations are different whenyou’re playing league, as there aremany games to be played. It is do ordie on Friday. There is no turningback – if you lose you’re out.’
Maritzburg United is also low onconfidence after they lost to Super-Sport United 7-0 on Friday.
Still, Ian Palmer, Maritzburg’scoach, was voted coach of the
month for the August-Septemberperiod, and his charges will also beout to prove a point when they meetthe Lansdowne-based Santos.
Over at Ikamva, the Urban Warri-ors put in a rusty show on Fridayafter their two-week break.
An early goal by Jomo Cosmosmade it difficult for Ajax to comeout on top of their game – not helpedby the wet conditions and slipperypitch – but Terror Fanteni scored inthe 56th minute and prevented Cos-mos from registering their first winfor the season.
The match at full time was 1-1.Ajax are known for their stern
performances at cup competitions,and Sunday’s Telkom Knockoutmatch should be interesting, con-sidering the squad’s history.
Santos kicks off with MaritzburgUnited for the first round at Ath-lone Stadium at 20:00 on Friday,while on Sunday, Ajax faces FreeState Stars at 15:00 at the same ven-ue.

World Cup upsets, historic moments – and rulesLYNN PRINS
HISTORY repeated itself thisweekend – and now we will seeFrance in the final with New Zea-land.
Perhaps the French will give theKiwis the upset of 24 years ago.
The weekend saw a tough matchwhen the Welsh gave their all withjust 14 men in a bid to defeat theFrench, after their captain SamWarburton was sent off for a dan-gerous tip tackle. The end resultwas 9-8 in France’s favour.
Over at the Wallabies camp,things were going horribly wrong,and some may say it’s a hidingwell deserved after last week’scontroversial refereeing. Evident-ly New Zealand were the betterteam, playing well under pressure– something Wallabies fly halfQuade Cooper struggled to do.
It seemed as if it was “Cooper
versus New Zealand”, as hardtackles were pounced on him withtwo men charging at him at a time,and the crowd booed whenever hekicked the ball. The end result tothat game was 20-6, and Australiacould just not get past the tight de-fence of their opponents.
Another historic moment willgo to Craig Joubert, who will bethe referee at the final match onSunday after a job well done thisSaturday past. It will be his firsttime in charge of World a Cup fi-nal.
On Friday, playoffs for third andfourth will take place betweenAustralia and Wales at 09:30 atAuckland, and on Sunday the finaltakes place at the same venue at10:00.
Last week People’s Post ex-plained what happens after themark, and in-goals. This week,People’s Post will take a look at
kick-offs and restart kicks.Kick-offsFor the kick-off from the centre
of the halfway line, you have anumber of options.
• A long kick-off is a boot deepinto the opposition half, leading togood gain in ground but littlechance of getting possession whenthe ball lands. Opposition can kickthe ball back or run it back beforeyou get there, so your initial gain
in ground may be reduced. Youmay even find the ball back deepin your own half.
• A short kick-off punts the ballthe minimum permitted distance– there’s not much gain in ground,and you risk the ball not going therequired 10m, but you have a realopportunity to regain control ofthe ball before the opposition cancatch it
• A kick to the opposition’s 22marea gives you reasonable gain inground, not much chance of re-gaining possession, but in a goodposition to start applying pressureby keeping the opposition pinnedin their own 22m area
• A kick to the side, where theforwards are massed, is the safestoption, but exactly what is expect-ed by the opposition.
• A kick to the less defended sideis done in the hopes of catching theopposition off guard and allow fast
teammates to scoop up the ball andtake advantage of a defensivelapse. It’s risky and used fairlyrarely – maybe when a quick scoreis needed
Restart kicksYourestart after each scorewith
a drop kick from the centre of theground. The ball must travel atleast 10m.
In some cases the game is re-started with a drop kick on the22m line. It’s called a “drop out”,and can be taken anywhere alongthe 22m line or behind it. The dropkick simply has to cross the linebefore it can be caught or pickedup.
When a kick-off or restart takesplace, other players must be be-hind the kicker when the kick ismade.
Next week People’s Post willsum up all the rules the paper ranthrough in previous editions.

Safa CT in top formSafa CT in top formLYNN PRINS
AN exciting and successful Coca-Cola series and Inter-LFA have
left the Safa Cape Town with highhopes for the future.
Abdullah Alexander, the Safa’s head ofcompetitions, says the“bumper season” saw no“major incidents” duringthe during the Coca-ColaCup, and he feels the Inter-LFA has improved tremen-dously.
“The Inter-LFA this yearwasmore structuredandor-ganised, and a good crowdwas attracted despite theweather conditions,” saysAlexander.
Last year, the Safa CapeTown hosted the under-20Four Nations, giving soccerfanatics a taste of good football played byyoung and upcoming stars – and approvalhas been given to host the under-20 EightNations next May.
Last year’s tourney saw teams suchas Brazil, Nigeria, and Ghana vying forsupremacy, with Ghana taking the tro-phy.
Although the Safa Cape Town is heavilydependent on registration fees to for of-
fice, staff and maintenance costs, it is stillin a healthy financial state, Alexandersays.
“We do receive a grant from Safa Na-tional, but not much, and in terms of soc-cer we are very much dependent on oursponsors to keep us going.”
Asked about the media’s role in the Sa-fa’s existence, Alexandersays: “On Safa levels we be-lieve that, without radio, wecannot survive. We dependa lot on media to give out-side publicity, whether welike them or not – we’revery dependent on them,and grateful for their ef-forts.”
Women’s soccer, mean-while, is also looking good.“We had a successful SasolNational Championshipslast year, with Super Fal-cons from Gauteng
crowned champs,” says Lutfeyah Abra-hams, chairperson of Women’s Footballwith the Safa Cape Town. “Last year’s Ab-sa winners were Portia from Cape Town,who were promoted to Sasol league,” sheadds. Abrahams says the Safa Cape Townand Safa Winelands are two of the fortu-nate regions to have borne a developmentleague to Sasol League level.
