safety structure members stuck to theirword to address the drug scourge in the areain the walkabout.This was a follow-up operation, supported
by law enforcement, police, Metro police,Scorpio Security, local ward councillor El-ton Jansen and mayco member for safetyand security, JP Smith.Last week, the community police forum
were joined by MEC for Community Safety,DanPlato,Metro police directorRobbieRob-berts, Pagad and neighbourhood watchmembers following a similar route (“Resi-dents warn drug dealers”, People’s Post, 15September).On Thursday evening the group visited
the samehomes and affected four drug-relat-ed arrests.After visiting six houses, the officers ar-
rested two women for possession of dagga,a man in possession of dagga and a repeatarrest for the possession of mandrax andheroin.Smith says he would like to see at least
four of the Strandfontein NeighbourhoodWatch Members trained as part of the Cityof Cape Town’s law enforcement auxillaryofficers project.“It painsme to see none of you in your own
law enforcement uniforms, exercising thesame powers they have,” he said referringto the law enforcement officers present.He says he is always available to assist
community police forums and other safetystructures.
He says they hope to receive additionalfunding to propagate the City’s five-stepplan.“I was invited to come here two weeks ago
and could not attend. I asked them for anoth-er date and now here I am,” he told People’sPost.The group visited several problem build-
ings and issued warnings to repeat offend-ers.A shop ownerwas forced to close his doors
for the evening after not adhering to a warn-ing.The owner was issued with a fine on Tues-
day for not having his business licencepresent.When officers visited onThursday, he still
did not have it with him.Smith once again warned him before or-
dering him to close up shop.He also started the process to declare a
house as a problem building.The house burned down earlier this year
and has already been reoccupied despite thefact that it has still not been rebuilt.Smith said: “Tonight I am just here to see
whatever they want to show me and also tovisit some hotspots. I walk with neighbour-hood watches every second or third week.”In a statement released by Smith’s office,
he applauds the efforts of Strandfontein resi-dents.“StrandfonteinVillage has proactive com-
munity safety structures in places, includ-ing the Community Policing Forum, 102neighbourhood watch members, 85 blockwatches and 185 street committees. The com-munity policing forum hosts a number ofpublic awareness initiatives on an ongoingbasis, while the neighbourhood watch hasincreased its patrols both in the suburb butalso along the coast, with the assistance of
the street committees,” he says.Sandy Schuter thanked DOCS and the
mayco member for their interest in the ar-ea.She says she was excited to see their ef-
forts paying off, and hope to make moreprogress with this approach.“We were so excited to see that in the last
six months we closed two drug dens in thearea. We were glad to see those houses com-pletely empty,” says Schuter.
Smith says the City will work with the lo-cal police to increase the number of visiblepatrols and search and seizure operations toaddress the gang and drug issue.“However,weneed the community towork
with us and blow the whistle on criminal ac-tivity. We have an informant reward systeminplace that paysup toR1 000 for informationthat will lead to an arrest and successful con-viction, but also for the recovery of stolengoods and City infrastructure,” he said.
Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith joins in on the search of ahome.
Four people have been arrested after beingfound in possession of large quantities of ille-gal substances.“On Friday at 22:15 officers attached to the
Western Cape Trio crimes unit executed asearch warrant at a house in CapricornStreet, Rocklands after receiving a tip off,”says police spokesperson Lieutenant IanWilliams.

Police are addressing property relatedcrimes with measures on how to safeguardyour home.
Last week the Mitchell’s Plain Police re-leased these tips to keep your home safefrom house-breakins and theft.
How to safeguard your house:. Know all emergency numbers. Don’t leave gates, garage doors, front or
back doors open. It serves as an invitationto burglars
. Don’t leave household items such astools lying around in the yard. Criminalsuse the items found in the yard to break in.
. Never leave your keys hanging in thedoor to prevent someone duplicating them.
. Do not leave keys in a hidden place fordomestic staff or children.
. Never leave workers unattended inyour home.
. Know your neighbours and build a rela-tionship of trust with them.
. Get a friend or neighbour to keep an eyeon your property when you are not home.
. Never open the door automaticallywhen the bell rings or someone knocks. Ifit is a workman, check the identity card toensure the person is from the institution orcompany that they claim to be.
. Store your firearms in a safe.
When you go on holiday. Ensure all doors and windows are prop-
erly closed and latched or locked.. Get a family member or neighbour to
collect your mail on a regular basis.
If your house has been broken into. Contact your nearest police station. Wait until fingerprints and statements
have been taken before touching anything.

Two men were arrested after being found inpossession of unlicensed firearms.
On Tuesday 15 September at 13:00, Mitch-ell’s Plain police were doing patrols on thecorner of Mopanie and Maroela streets, Eas-tridge, when officers spotted a suspicious-looking man walking in the street.
When the man noticed officers approach-ing him, he ran across a nearby open field.
The officers gave chase and saw the sus-pect drop a firearm on the field.
Police recovered a Taurus 9mm pistol withammunition.
The 22-year-old man was apprehended andappeared in court on related char-ges.
In an unrelated incident, thor-ough investigative work led tothe arrest of a 20-year-old man onTuesday morning, after receivinginformation that the suspect wasallegedly involved in a car hijack-ing and business robbery in Ta-felsig and Strandfontein the nightbefore.

A spate of shootings and gang tensionhave Eastridge residents on the edge.
Police believe the cause of the sporadicshootings are as a result of gang tensionsbetween rival gangs and revenge attacks.
Residents believe police are not doingenough to safeguard the area, however,police say the area has been a top prio-rity.
“The area has been the focus of polic-ing for the past month with regular rein-forcements such as Operation Combatand the reservist core,” says policespokesperson Lieutenant Ian Williams.
“If there are witnesses that the policeare not responding to, then those peopleshould have been witness to the shoot-ings. We reiterate that the problem in thearea is not policing or amount of forcesneeded. No amount of policing– even thearmy – will be sufficient to quell a socialproblem emanating from individualhouseholds,” he says.
He says the community needs to workwith police and urges residents to joinsafety structures.
There was a lull for a while, but shoot-ings escalated during August.
In a recent incident on Monday 24 Au-gust at about 14:58 the Mitchell’s Plainpolice were executing patrols when theyreceived a complaint of a man walkingand firing shots in Baobab Street, East-ridge. “The members arrived at the
scene and saw a group of people in thestreet running and still firing shots,”says Williams.
The members chased the group andspotted one man from the group runningwith a firearm.
The suspect started to fire shots at thepolice, who returned fire.
The 18-year-old man was arrested.In another incident on Wednesday 2
September at about 16:50 police were onroutine patrols when they received acomplaint of a shooting incident.
The officers attended the incident in7th Avenue Eastridge and on arrival dis-covered the body of a 27-year-old manwith multiple bullet wounds. The victimwas taken to hospital where he was laterdeclared dead.
The man is believed to have been amember of the Ghetto Gang.
“It is alleged that a group of membersshot at the American gang in BlinkblaarStreet, Eastridge. The American gang re-taliated and chased after the rival gangand the victim was shot,” he says.
The suspects are still at large, and noarrests have been made. At this stage theinvestigation is ongoing.
Residents are urged to take back theirstreets and join their local communitysafety structures.V Anyone with information on these incidents areurged to call Mitchell’s Plain police on021 370 1706 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Twoworld wars, the invention of themo-tor car, the start of Apartheid and the
creation of our democracy ...These are some of the events the South
African National Institute for Crime Pre-vention and the Reintegration of Offenders(Nicro) has weathered while promoting re-forms in the justice system.This month Nicro celebrates its 105th
birthday.Nicro works to divert offenders from the
courts so that they do not receive a crimi-nal record and encourages non-custodialsentencing or community service as an al-ternative to serving a sentence in prison.The organisation also offers prison
based support to enhance an offender’schance of successfully reintegrating backinto society. These services are offered toboth adults and children.On its establishment in 1910, the primary
objectives of the then South African Pris-
oners Aid Association involved visitingprisoners and encouraging their reform inaddition to providing support for the ac-cused, released prisoners and their familymembers, explains Nicro spokespersonJacques Sibomana.Founded by Justice Mr J de Villiers
Roos, it was the first countrywide organi-sation of its kind for the aid and after-careof prisoners and their families.Prior to this the Salvation Army, as part
of their activities, provided accommoda-tion for released prisoners.Little more than a decade later the orga-
nisation elected to expand its focus by in-troducing crime prevention services,which included provision for the preven-tion of recidivismor the relapse into crimi-nal behaviour, the study of cause of crimeand recidivism in addition to public educa-tion.The organisation also encouraged the
study of causes underlying crime.From the onset the Association lobbied
for social reform, both in terms of crime
prevention and the rehabilitation of of-fenders.“Nicrohashadagreat impact and contri-
bution to South African Criminal Justicesystems, and introduced key services thathave now been adopt-ed by the Justice sys-tem,” Sibomana says.These include the
establishment of pro-bation services, intro-ducing diversion ser-vices to children, thePioneered Prisonersfriend services whichstarted prisonvisitors aswell as non-custo-dial sentencing.The organisation was involved in the es-
tablishment of labour bureaus and treat-ment facilities for alcoholics, as well as theintroduction of a scheme in terms of whichaccused people could pay their fines in in-stalments.In 1970 theAssociation changed its name
to Nicro. Two decades later Nicro’s use of
lobbying and social action as a tool to facili-tate social change became more evident,explains Sibomana.In 1990 the National Council released a
statement lobbying for appropriate racialrepresentation on thecommittee estab-lished to review thedeath penalty, and on17 October 1992 Nicroofficially took an abo-litionist stanceagainst the death pen-alty.Currently Nicro is
encouraging the public to get involved insupporting the programs that NICRO of-fers, through individual giving, Sibomanasays.“We are hoping to see the organisation
growing strong and able to provide themuchneeded services in our communities.We need our communities to get involvedwith the work that the organisation is do-ing,”
WesternCapeminister of cultural affairs andsport, Anroux Marais, is urging the peopleof the province to nominate their local cul-ture heroes for the Cultural Affairs Awards.The awards are held annually to celebrate
individuals and organisations in the West-ern Cape who are making a positive contri-bution in the cultural affairs sector. Awardshave previously been given to organisationsand individuals who have made a profoundimpact within the arts, culture, language,heritage, museums, archives, geographicalnames aswell as libraries sectors in the prov-ince over the years.“The Western Cape has a diverse and rich
culture that must be nurtured and celebrat-ed.“It is important that we acknowledge and
celebrate the individuals and organisationsthat are doing us proud. They are buildinga foundation for the generations to come.”said Marais.The cultural affairs awards ceremony will
take place in February 2016.V Nominations for the awards are now open. Anyonewho would like to submit a nomination of a personor an organisation for an award, is urged to obtain nom-ination forms via the department’s website at http://www.westerncape.gov.za/dept/cas

Who let the snakes out?Residents are more likely to experiencesnake encounters due to spring-time,warnsShaun MacLeod, co-ordinator of the SnakeRescue volunteer team in theCapePeninsu-la.“Every spring snakes come out of hiber-
nationon thehunt for amuchneeded springmeal. Snakes are very important to our nat-
ural environment as they control the ver-min rodents that destroy crops and carrynumerous diseases,” says MacLeod, who isalso a director of Reptile EducationalAwareness Consultants (REAC).“Snakes and various other reptiles form
part of the very important balance in ourecosystem. A simple equation – the moresnakes we kill, the more rodents and peststhere will be.“We have encroached into their natural
habitat through habitat degradation, frag-mentation and urban expansion.“Ponds, heaps of building rubble and
rockeries in and around gardens andhomescreate micro environments, which will in-evitably attract snakes,” MacLeod warns.He reminds residents that snakes “are at-
tracted toneglected areaswhere there is notmuch disturbance, as snakes hate confron-tation”.“There is no real way of keeping snakes
off your property, but if you keep your grasscut short, trees well trimmed and clean upall rubble, just to mention a few, then thereis less likelihood for snakes to reside onyour property. In short – keep your gardentidy,” he says.“Leave snakes alone – and it will leave
you alone. Most bites occur when people at-tempt to kill snakes,” he says.V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on082 532 5033 for advice or for emergencies pertain-ing snakes.

An investigation into the cause of an acci-dent involving a Golden Arrow Bus on
the R300 has been opened.On Wednesday morning, the bus was on
route to the Arscape via the N2 when itknocked down a pedestiran.The incident occured on the bridge be-
tween the Stock Road /AZ Berman Drive onramp and the N2 off ramp.The man had been killed in the collission.There were no other injuries.
Golden Arrow Bus services spokespersonBronwenDyke, says due processes are beingfolowed.“It is standard company procedure to sus-
pend a driver immediately whenever a seri-ous incident occurs; this is not indicative ofblameworthiness but rather to give the com-pany time to investigate and to give the driv-er time to recover.“In this case, the driver was in a severe
state of shock and was immediately de-briefed by our internal social worker andthen referred to a doctor for assessment,”she says.
Dykealso confirms the companyarework-ing closely with the police in the investiga-tion.“It is standard company policy to investi-
gate every serious incident - we also workclosely with the South African Police Servi-ces, providing them with any informationthat they may need,” she explains.According to several witness accounts on
social media platforms, the man had com-mitted suicide by throwing himself underthe bus.Dyke confirms they too have received this
communication.
“According to witnesses the deceased wasleaning against a barrier at the roadside pri-or to the incident and then stepped into thepath of the incoming bus as it approached.There was no way the driver could havedone anything to prevent what happened,”she says.The investigation continues.Golden Arrow Bus Services would like to
offer their most sincere condolences to thefamily and loved ones of the deceased.V Witnesses and others with information on the inci-dent can call the Golden Arrow Philippi depot on021 370 3400.

For the ninth consecutive year, the Woolworths Educational Programme and Plastics SA havecollaborated to engage learners and their families to participate in the International CoastalCleanup campaign by targeting three of South Africa’s favourite beaches. IeglaasiNieyahPrimary was one of those schools. Pictured is Imtiyaaz Benjamin, who volunteered onSaturday.
Saarah Benjamin and Thaakirah Bardien also joined in the fun. More than 400 pupils from 13Schools participated in the event.
Capetonians pulled up their sleeves andslipped on some gloves in an effort to re-
duce refuse in our seas.International Coastal Cleanup Day took
place on Saturday, and is an internationalevent which started in 1986 and has sincegrown into a global initiative.
Volunteers are issued with data cards andeach item collected is recorded on thesecards. After this worldwide event, global da-ta on the waste in our oceans is collated.
Last year 560 000 volunteers in 91 coun-tries picked up more than 7,2 million kilo-
grams of trash during the event. South Afri-ca had 3208 participants who contributedmore than 11 000 kilograms of trash to thesestatisticsGlobally, the number one item found was
cigarette butts at more than 2,2 million.Enough bottle caps to cover seven tennis
courts were collected.The weight of the plastic shopping bags
collected equals that of three manatees.Some of the strange things picked up in-
clude bowling balls, a lawnmower and awheelbarrow.
Our oceans have become the garbagedump for humans, Two Oceans Aquariumspokesperson Renée Leeuwner.
“It is easy to think that our actions on landdo not affect the oceans, but the exact oppo-site is true. According to Ocean Conservan-cy, between 5 and 12million tonnes of plasticenter the ocean annually due to land-basedactivities.”Not only is marine litter unsightly, but it
also poses a danger tomarine life, Leeuwnerexplains.
“During our rehabilitation work with en-
dangered sea turtles we have found plasticpieces, bits of balloons and pieces of plasticbags in the gastro-intestinal tracts, bladdersand body cavities of hatchlings, sub-adultsand adults,” said Leeuwner.A new study led by researchers from Aus-
tralia’s Commonwealth Scientific and In-dustrialResearchOrganizationhas recentlyfound that nine out of ten sea birds have in-gested plastic.The study has also predicted that within
the next 35 years, 99% of all seabirds will bevictim to plastic ingestion.

New look after park upgradesTwo city parks now enjoy a new look fol-
lowing an upgrade.The City of Cape Town upgraded two pub-
lic open spaces in Mitchell’s Plain throughward allocation funding.
The Bond Street Park in Colorado Parkwas a public open space with no play equip-ment and was used mainly for informal soc-cer matches.
Thanks to ward allocation funding ofR150 000, the park has now been upgradedwith new wooden play equipment, a see-saw,a joy wheel, swings, a jungle gym and out-door gym equipment. Trees have also beenplanted to beautify the park.
Last year the City’s World Design Capital(WDC 2014) team joined forces with Ward 75residents to host co-design workshops.
The aim of these workshops was to brain-storm ideas on how to improve public openspaces in the area. The ideas from the work-shops formed the basis of the upgrade de-sign.
The Russel Harvey Park in New Wood-lands was a dilapidated park with limitedplay items, but the community has helped
to make progress possible by agreeing tostart a community garden in the park. TheCity provided tools, plants and compost andthe community has signed a community gar-dening agreement with the City.
They have taken ownership of the parkand will continue to do the gardening in thepark.
The City further allocated R50 000 fromward allocation funding for the upgrading ofthe park.
A fence has been erected and new playequipment, benches, tables, footpaths andtrees all add to its aesthetic value.
“These parks allow local communitymembers to use gardening as a means ofbeautifying their local environment, whichcontributes to the overall quality of life ofthe community and can also provide an eco-nomic opportunity through skills develop-ment. The provision of quality spaces inwhich to live, work, learn and play instilsa true sense of community, shared owner-ship and pride,” said the City’s MayoralCommittee Member for Community Servi-ces and Special Projects, Belinda Walker.

Oudejans to talkjhis way out againLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
Comedy magician Marcel Oudejans is notjust an entertainer. He sees himself as
more of a “fun facilitator.”The Pinelands resident will be doing a
rare public show in Cape Town when hepresents Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk yourway out of this! as part of the Cape TownFringe Festival from Thursday.The show is a sequel to Sleight of Mouth
– The art of talking your way out of anything,which he performed at last year’s FringeFestival. The showwas incidentally also hislast public show in Cape Town. This yearthough, Marcel has a whole lot of new tricksup his sleeve.The new show features new magic, deliv-
ered inMarcel’s trademarkwitty “stand-up”style. There’s also more story telling withanecdotes about his travels and experiencesas a magician.Performing magic for people who aren’t
expecting it, usually produces interestingresults. On one occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to a show anddecided to brighten someone’s day with amagic trick. “The woman freaked out be-cause she had no one around to corroboratethat it had actually happened.”One could almost sayMarcel’s comedy ca-
reer startedwith people whoweren’t expect-ing it. When other children were waiting ta-bles, Marcel, who had already started doingshows at the Bellville Library over schoolholidays, was performing in restaurants fortips.Today, Marcel is one of the country’s lead-
ing performers. In 2008 hewas recognised asone of Africa’s leading magicians at the Vis-mayan International Magic Conventionheld in India.Most of his work is for corporate events,
where he acts as emcee or more recently,teaches people about the importance of“play” in the workplace, or as he puts it “totake play seriously”.Marcel explains that learning to have fun
or embracing cultural arts, gives people ameans to express themselves, somethingwhich is essential to understanding otherpeople and having empathy.He works with businesses to help them
“create wow in customer service”, usingmagic to prove his point.Customer service is something Marcel
takes seriously and it’s important to himthat his audiences feel like they are getting
a genuine, sincere performance.This is where his improvisation skills
come in handy, giving him the ability toadapt to his audience and make his showsmore interactive.Although there’s a light narrative run-
ning through Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyour way out of this!, Marcel doesn’t like theidea of a magic show that’s too scripted.“Youwant tomake theaudience feel like thisis happening for the first time.”His performance at the Fringe Festival is
an opportunity to see another side of his ex-tensive repertoire and escape reality for anhour.Marcel says the festival itself is a chance
to see a wide variety of productions, fromtheatre pieces to magic, in one place and ur-gesCapetonians tobuy tickets early and sup-port the local performers on stage this year.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out of this!will be on stage at Cape Town City Hall Theatre 3 at19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday 25, Tuesday 29 Sep-tember and Friday 2 October. Shows will also run at17:30 on Saturday 26 and Monday 28 September, at15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05 on Thurs-day 1 October. Marcel will also be performing at theAlexander Bar at 13:05 on Tuesday 29 September.Tickets cost R70 or R63 (concessions) at the door orfrom www.capetownfringe.co.za.
Marcel Oudejans brings his latest show to theCape Town Fringe Festival this week.

CT schools almostfull, enrol nowCape Town schools are almostfull and the Western Cape Edu-cation Department urges par-ents to enrol children as soon aspossible.
“To date, schools in the West-ern Cape have processed 128 545applications for placement forthe 2016 school year. So far, 118429 learners have been placed,”said education minister DebbieSchäfer in a statement to themedia last week.
“Parents were encouraged toapply to schools by 30 June, andthose who now still need spacesat schools need to urgently ap-proach their nearest schools orthe closest district office to findoutwhich schools still have spa-ces available,” she said.
“We cannot guarantee placesin schools of choice, but will doour utmost to place children ap-propriately. It is crucial thatparentswho have failed to enroltheir child for the 2016 schoolyear to do so urgently and be-fore the end of the third term toensure that they secure a place
for their child.”Schäfer says there are cur-
rently 3 470 learners who havebeen accepted at more than oneschool.“Some 2 257 of these learners
are Grade 8 learners who havenot confirmed if they are takingup their places,” she says.“Moreover, we expect that
learners will continue to mi-grate to the Western Cape fromother provinces in search of abetter education and access toopportunities. Each year weplanasbestwecan for the influxof additional learners from oth-er provinces. The inward mi-gration into the Western Capehashuge financial andplanningimplications, impacting on theprovisioning of education re-sources and the overallmanage-ment of the system,” she says.“We have to prioritise accord-
ing to the greatest need acrossthe whole province, and availa-ble budget. Our current budgetis under considerable pres-sure.”
Barefoot at 14 to writing a bookGARY VAN DYK
#gvdcapejazz
The journey fromabackyard shackin Hanover Park to positive em-
powerment startswith that firstmileyou walk to your dreams.
That is the story in Many Miles -a Life Story byBellville resident IvanKoopman who launched his debutbook at the Huguenot Library in Bel-har recently.
Currently a lifeskills and youth de-velopment facilitator for a pro-gramme at Learning Cape InitiativeKoopman’s journey started when hehad to leave school at 14 to work astea boy and general cleaner at thePost Office.
He eventually become the medicalmanager at amajor construction site
in Dubai.“Leaving school at that age was
heartbreaking,” he said at thelaunch.
“But, it had to be done for the sur-vival of our family and I somehowknew that it would not be the end forme because I had faith in God’s plansfor me.
“I walked inmy bare feet along themain road to Cape Town going intoshops to ask for work because it wasneeded. People thought I was jokingbut I had to do it.”
Koopman added that while thebook was a celebration of his tri-umphhealsowanted it to be an inspi-ration to people who may have comefrom similar situations, or who maystill be in such situations, to nevergive up on their dreams.
“You must always believe thatthrough God’s love for you there isa positive plan for you and you mustbelieve in that plan for you.“This book is also there to moti-
vate our youth who are in situationswhere they are surrounded by somuch negativity,”says Koopman.“The answer to your empower-
ment is there but you must be pre-pared to do the groundwork, thehardwork and have the patience to knowthat the end result is going to be yourultimate victory.”Before working as the medical
manager inDubai, Koopmanworkedat the Metro Ambulance Servicefrom 1981 to 1998 and then at St JohnAmbulance.V Contact Ivan on 083 777 6580 or [email protected].

With the turn of the weather, more people are coming outof the winter slump in celebration of just about every-thing.September is not only the month we celebrate Heritage
Day, but also the month we celebrate many days andweeks in recognition of health and well-being.The month plays host to awareness of Albinism, Bone
Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia, CervicalCancer, Childhood Cancer, Eye Care, Muscular Dystro-phy and Oral Health. It is also National Heart AwarenessMonth and the National Month of Deaf People.While Headache and Migraine, Pharmacy, Kidney and
Back Awareness celebrate weeks, some conditions, suchas Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, International Gynaecologi-cal Health, World Suicide Prevention, National OralHealth and National Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD) also have special days dedicated to them.The question we should be asking ourselves is “is it
enough to only pay attention to our bodies once a year?”The awareness programmes do their job – bringing rec-
ognition to these sometimes overlooked disorders and ill-nesses. It forces some people to take tests and pay a littlemore attention to their health, or to donate to a worthycause. But is enough being done to leave a lasting impres-sion on us?What will it take to get us to sit up and listen?Will we only act when it affects us?Reality is that we should be looking after our oral
health, our hearts, our eyes and our bodies in general.Many serious ailments can be cured if caught early and
inmost cases prevention is key. Is it not thenworthknow-ing that everything is running in tip top shape?Experts recommend a visit to your doctor at least once
a year, but most people just don’t bother.In the end, health officials will talk and promote taking
care of yourself, but taking action is up to you.
Women’s important roleOne must recognise the role and thevalue added by civil society organisa-tions to bring about a change in ourcommunities. I would like to highlight,that the role of women cannot be underestimated or undervalued in civil societythese days. The value added by women,especially women in leadership in oursociety, is vital to any community inaddressing social challenges. I think thatin many organisations, it’s women whoare instrumental in leading towardschanging organisations who are strug-gling to achieve its development objec-tives. I have seen over the years in ourcommunities, especially on the CapeFlats, it’s the women who attend com-munity meetings, it’s women who attendschool meetings these days. Believe it ornot it is the women who are leadingchange and in reality it’s the womanwho leads the fight against crime. Checkthe number of women in our neighbour-hood watches, our CPF police structuresserving the community, even in ourchurches, faith groups; it’s women
leading for change, and one wonderswhat happened to the men.I wrote to some women in our commu-
nity who are already in leadership rolesat their various community organisa-tions, appealing and urging asking themto consider playing an active role insport development.I don’t have to remind the sports
leaders that the current role of womenin politics, and in other sports wheretheir experience add value and wheretheir presence change the landscapeseven in our current and young democra-cy. Whether we like it or not women aremaking a vast difference on the politicalscene, so much so there’s a call for thepresident of South Africa to be a wom-an. Women are making their voicesheard on all fronts adding value to abetter society, a better South Africa. Incommunities and on grassroots level, thepresence of women in sports help withthe self-confidence of men and childrenin sport. Ask any youth manager on aSaturday morning about the voices and
cries of women, mostly “mommies”along the touchlines cheering theirchildren on. Every touch is cheered andevery run is motivated to the very end.This is the kind of self-motivation andconfidence which women bring to thesport.Women are our most dominant social
activist in our communities as well asour churches. They are the leaders whenit comes to self-empowerment opportuni-ties. Their ability to lead and theirability to govern our locally basedstructures should be noted.We should be open for partnership on
all level of leadership structures. Weneed to involve men and women jointlyworking together chairing our communi-ty structures, this will enhance ourmodel leadership.I would like to appeal to all women
who are able and trust in their ability togo out there in your communities andlead for change.
WALTER DANIELSBokmakierie
Don’t turn blind eye to needyI feel so sad when people say “Please,not in my nice neighbourhood. Movethese homeless people!”I feel so sad when people who have
had all the privileges of a good educa-tion, as well as the opportunity for workand can therefore pay taxes, feel thatthey have rights that others don’t have.I feel so sad that in a country where
seventy nine percent of the populationclaims to be Christian, we don’t followJesus’ teaching to care for the thirstyand hungry, or the stranger, for thesick, the poor and vulnerable in oursociety. (Matthew 25: 35 – 40)I feel so sad because the biblical story
of Ruth shows how we should reach outto the vulnerable in our society bygiving a hand up rather than a hand-out.As a society we can make a difference
by working with organisations already
working with the homeless.U-turn is one such organisation
working in the Wynberg, Kenilworth,and Claremont areas.Rather than handing out small change
to those begging on the streets or tothose who come to our homes, weencourage people to give one of theU-turn vouchers. A voucher allows themto get a meal or some secondhandclothing at The Powerhouse, which isjust behind Stadium on Main in Clare-mont. U-turn also runs clothing stores,where good quality clothes can bepurchased by the public. By purchasingclothes in these stores, you help financethe work, as well as create trainingopportunities for those who want tomove off the streets and get back intothe workplace.

Amotorist will appear in anAthlone courtafter being involved in a high-speed
chase with the City of Cape Town’s GhostSquad after trying to flee an accident scenein Klipfontein Road.The driver of a Toyota Cressida hit a fe-
male pedestrian on the corner of Klipfonteinand Hazel roads just before 22:00 on Satur-day.Themotorist then sped off in the direction
of Gugulethu, with patrolling Ghost Squadmembers following in hot pursuit. The Cres-sida then came to a halt after crashing intoanother motor vehicle in Crossroads. Thesuspect attempted to flee on foot, but waseventually caught by law enforcement offi-cers who caught up with him. He was taken
to theAthlonePolice Station andwill appearin court on charges of reckless and negligentdriving and fleeing the scene of an accident.In another incident which took place over
the weekend, three people were arrested forreckless and negligent driving after theGhost Squad responded to complaints of ille-gal street racing in Mitchell’s Plain. Twootherswere arrested for drunk driving – oneof whom refused to stop, leading officers ona chase which eventually ended in Philippi.He was found to be four times over the legalblood-alcohol limit.“In both cases, these motorists are facing
charges additional to those that put them onour radar in the first place. The lesson hereis to just pull over and take responsibility
for your actions,” said JP Smith, Maycomember for safety and security.On Sunday, the City’s traffic service ar-
rested 25 motorists for drunk driving at aroadblock in Mitchell’s Plain, and issued 2272 fines. Meanwhile, theMetro Police Cam-era Response Unit arrested a 19-year-oldthief on Friday. The suspect was caught oncamera during a smash-and-grab incidenton the corner of Jakes Gerwel andWashing-ton drives in Langa. CCTV operators led thecamera response unit to the suspect’s loca-tion, but when confronted by the officers, heallegedly tried to stab one of them – prompt-ing the second officer to fire a shot, wound-ing the supsect in the thigh.He received medical treatment, after
which he was arrested on charges of posses-sion of stolen goods, possession of a danger-ous weapon, common assault and resistingarrest. The victim also added a charge oftheft out of motor vehicle.“This incident had a happy ending for the
motorist in question becausewemanaged toretrieve all her belongings. However, I wantto renewmy call to motorists to please storevaluables like handbags, laptops and cell-phones in the boot while driving, to keepdoors and windows locked at all times, andto be wary of people loitering at intersec-tions. Keep an eye on your surroundings in-stead of your cellphone – not only is it illegalto use it while you’re behind the wheel, butit also makes you more vulnerable.”

The annual Cape Town marathon tookplace under uncharacteristically mug-gy conditions in Green Point over the

Dinah Phalula outclassed a quality field towin the men’s and women’s titles in the10 km run/walk on Sunday.

In the women’s race, Phalula earned awell-deserved win in 34:12, crossing the line16 seconds ahead of Mapaseka Makhanya.“The 10 km distance is ideal for younger
athletes who are still building towards themarathon, and it is perfect for amateur run-ners who are not yet ready to tackle the clas-sic distance, so it plays an important role aspart of the Cape Town Marathon,” saidElana Meyer who is an ambassador for therace.“With road running experiencing another
boom in South Africa, we expect the 10 kmdistance to continue to grow in popularityin the years to come.”Meanwhile, in the main event, the 42 km
race, Shadrack Kemboi from Kenya provedto be the strongest athlete on the day, defy-ing weather conditions to notch up a win inthe men’s race.Despite the dominance shown by the East
Africans, there was a strong South Afrcancharge as Lungile Gongqa finished secondand Michael Mazibuko finished third.AnotherKenyan, IsabellaOchichi, earned
a superb victory in the women’s race.With humidity at between 70% and 80%,
the East African winners battled somewhat,
while theSouthAfricans took full advantageof the overcast weather, putting in an excel-lent performance behind their internationalcounterparts.Kemboi crossed the finish line in 2:11:41,
with Gongqa taking second place in 2:11:59andMazibuko grabbing the final spot on themen’s podium in 2:12:29.Ochichi romped to victory in the women’s
division in 2:30:20, while Eunice Chumbafrom Bahrain finished second in 2:33:12 andKenya’s Joan Rotich third in a time of2:37:45.“I always wanted amarathon victory, and
I believe that it would come inHonolulu, Ha-waii in 2014, but I got it today on my homecontinent – Africa – and I couldn’t be happi-er,” said Ochichi.The 42 km race boasted a large field of 5
728 participants in only its second year, inwhich it is aiming to achieve the IAAF’s cov-eted Gold Label status. A total of 4.5% of en-trieswere fromoutside of SouthAfrica,with51 countries represented at the race.
