Criminals beware – police in Bishop La-vis are determined to put you behindbars.
During operations last week officers fromthis precinct apprehendedmore than 93 sus-pects. According to communications officerCaptainMarie Louw these suspectswere ap-prehended during various stop and searchactivities, patrols and other manoeuvresconducted inBishopLavis. “During our stopand search activities we arrested 49 sus-pects,” she said.“Two tracing operations were conducted
and 10wanted suspects arrested,while threesuspects were also apprehended for crimescommitted against women and children.“Officers also recovered two stolen vehi-
cles, arresting six people in this regard, andmade four arrests at second-hand shops.”
Police also made a major drug bust inBonteheuwel on Tuesday 29 September.“At about 15:20 during patrols in Soet-
doring Street, officers encountered a whiteHyundai Sonata with two occupants.“They searched the vehicle and found
three plastic bags of heroin.“They also found more than R20 000 in
cash. The street value of the heroin is in theregion of R500 000.”Moohamed Said Awadh, 30, from Belgra-
via,Athlonewas arrested alongwithYusrahFritz, 18, a Grade 12 learner also fromAthlo-ne. Both suspects have appeared in court.Awadh is being held in custody and thelearner has been released on bail.They are due to appear in court again this
week.“These successes are a result of the mem-
ber’s diligence and vigilance, while somewere from information shared by responsi-ble communitymembers,” concluded Louw.
Lavis: 93 behind barsOn the map: A request bypolice for repainted street names
in ward 25 of subcouncil 4 thatcomprises Connaught Estate,
Cravenby Estate, Eureka Estate,Florida Estate, Ravensmead and
Uitsig, has been adhered to. Oneof the important issues that was
raised by the police in sectormeetings held late last year and
earlier this year, was the inabilityto find addresses when they need
to respond to calls, hamperingthem in the execution of theirwork. Funding was then made
available from ward allocationsand all street names were
repainted. Checking some of thestreets were ward councillor

“Now the demands for housing and whichpolitical party did what for whom are in theheadlines,” said a backyarder who did notwant to be named for fear of victimisation.“Meanwhile I am still paying my landlord
for electricity, but we have to suffer whenthey don’t feel like buying power.“What’s this about the ‘ugly’ poles? The
poles are not in some beauty competition –they must serve a purpose. The JPF claimsthat people should have been consulted, butforwhat?This ismaintenancework that hadto be done.“OK, there are some inconvenienceswhile
it is being done, but why can’t they keep theend result in mind?”Many backyarders, who want to remain
anonymous, responded via Facebook andagreed with these sentiments, pointing outthat having their own power points/boxeswould be welcomed.“We are at the mercy of our landlords
when it comes to paying for services,” saidone respondent.“The housing problem is not going to go
away overnight, so we have to make a planif we want our children to live in relativeshelter. We have to face these struggles andweareprepared to. Sowhensomebody is try-ing to improve some of those conditions,why break it down?”Another respondent appealed to the JPF
to understand their needs.“I am a backyard dweller and sick of land-
lords exploiting us. I need my own electrici-ty box because they (landlords) expect us topay them rent and to buy more power thanthem. Maybe the JPF are home owners thatdon’t care about us.“HanoverParkdidn’t have a problemwith
the poles as long as the backyarders weresorted so the City must go ahead with theirplans andmake us comfortable while we arewaiting for housing.”
Another respondent warned that this situ-ation in the areamust not become a politicalfootball ahead of elections.“In recent postings I havenoticed that peo-
ple are losing sight of the real issue – the up-grading for backyarders. What consultationmust take place?Mustwe now consult on ev-ery project that is going on? Yes, there aredevelopments where we must be consultedor informed, butwhere dowedraw the line?"The same respondent also pointed out that
too many people were highlighting the needforhousingbut itwas anationwide problem.“I don’t want to point fingers or have a po-
litical bias butmany people are pointing fin-gers at the DA for not providing housing.People, it’s a problem in every province.“Backyarders exist in every province. In
many communities it’s the only way forsome families to have shelter. There is nomagic wand that will solve the problem. Idon’t see these same people complaining
about a certain gentleman getting R29mil-lion for supposed ‘improvements’ to hishouse, but they’re crying out for public ston-ing of city officials in this part of the world.”There is also a call for the JPF to remem-
ber the reason that they came into existence.“JPF stands for the Joint Peace Forumnot
the Joint “Pole” Forum,” said a respondent.“I loved their formation because it was a
joint movement to fight for peace in our ar-ea. A fight against the activities that threat-ened our peace, the gangs, the violence, drugabuse, crime. What threat are these suppos-edly ‘ugly poles?’ JPF, don’t become part ofan ugly political football game.”V The Joint Peace Forum will be hosting a meetingat the multipurpose centre in Bonteheuwel tonight(Wednesday) starting at 19:30.

A group of matriculants got some moti-vation ahead of their exams when aspecial breakfastwas hosted for them.
Ward 9 councillor Mercia Kleinsmithtreated theGrade 12s fromKasselsvlei Com-prehensive High to the treat on Tuesday 29September.
She pointed out that she hosted this eventto inspire them and remind them that theyare the backbone to the nation.
“They can change the future of the societywith their well-being and courageous be-haviour,” she said.“Unfortunately today we find youth who
are more interested in other activities thatare not useful to them.“Too many choose to spend their days do-
ing drugs and playing video games. Theyspend their nights partying and living it up,so to speak.“They have no vision and if they do have
dreams, they do not have the drive to makeany attempt at achieving them.”
Kleinsmith added that the event was alsoto encourage them to never give up on them-selves.
“Wewanted them toknow that failing thisyear was not the end of the world. As adultswemustmotivate them to never give up andlearn to take on the responsibilities toachieve their goals.“I fear ifwe don’t, wewill soon be support-
ing an entire generation of homeless fami-lies on welfare.”Part of the activities at the event was the
presence of officials from the IndependentElectoral Commissionwho started the proc-ess of getting them ready to vote.
“It is important that these officials werehere because we want them to know thatthey are not the “lost” generation,” ex-plained Kleinsmith.“Toomany of themhave opted out of dem-
ocratic processes such as elections due tothe disinterest of the ruling elite in respond-ing to their interests. “Promises of a bright
future are weighed against the realities ofhigh levels of unemployment, poverty andinequality.
“Since young peoplemake up such a largeproportion of voters in South Africa, under-standing their feelings about voting couldprovide insight into the way they feel aboutdemocratic participation. This in turn pro-vides indicators of the extent to which theybelieve they have the power to influence thedirection the country is taking.”

CapeTownTourismhas launched the “LoveCape Town neighbourhood series”, a collec-tion of videos revealing three of the city’ssuburbs.
The videos are a direct response to the“travel like a local” trend. This after re-search revealed visitors want to experiencethe places they travel in ways that exposethem to the quirky and interesting featuresenjoyed by locals.Showcasing local hiddengemsaround the
city, three areas have been chosen for thefirst videos in the series, with another ex-pected to be made in the next three months.
Viewers are given a sneak peak into the
local hotspots by some well-known CapeTown residents.
Celebrity chef Karen Dudley takes you toWoodstock,with its eclectic blend of old andultra-modern Cape Town; local comedianSiv Ngesi to the cosmopolitan heart of thecity centre and musician Arno Carstens tothe beautiful coastal suburb with the feel ofa fishing village, Kalk Bay.According to CEO Enver Duminy, Cape
Town Tourism is responding to this trendto explore local haunts by loading neigh-bourhood guides to areas around the Moth-er City onto YouTube.“We understand that we’re appealing to
themain target audience, but also that withthis new trend we can actively spread thepositive effect of tourism,” he says.Direct exposure to travellers allows local
businesses, especially the smaller ones, tobe showcased on a global platform, Duminyexplains.
“This will also allow for a direct injectionof funds into areas beyond the traditionaltourist routes or sites, while it will alsoultimately lead to increased job creationand a wider spread of the tourist rand,” hesays.V The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownTourism.

Progress has been made withplans for major improve-ments and upgrades of servi-
ces in Bishop Lavis.The Lavistown development
framework identified possible im-provements to the public environ-ment (such as underutilised openspace) and also identified and pri-oritised particular precincts in thebroader area where opportunitiesexist for coordinated interventionand upgrading. The Bishop Lavistown centre was recognised as oneof the precincts for intervention.“Theupgrade study formspart of
the City’s focus of interventions inhistorically underinvested areasacross the metro,” said the City’sMayco member for energy, envi-ronmental and spatial planning,Johan van der Merwe.“By, among others, restructur-
ing the existing land use patternsand enhancing the social and eco-nomic value of public open spaces,theCityhopes to create anenviron-mentwhich candrive increased in-vestment, enhance communitypride, and lay the foundations forgreater opportunities and uplift-ment.“It is hoped that this planning
stage will be completed within twoyears and every endeavour willthen bemade to procure funding toimplement projects that are identi-fied in the plan.”These projects could eventually
include the upgrade/creation ofquality public spaces, non-motor-ised transport provision, arealandscaping, and the clustering ofsocial facilities.“As always, we can only make
progress possible when we worktogether and I thank the communi-ty for its support,” he added.The tender for the design has
been awarded and the design teamcomprises town planners, publicparticipation professionals, civiland transport engineers, as well asa land surveyor, a safety analystand a property specialist.A project steering committee
made up of community representa-tives has also been established toprovide input into the planning ofthe Bishop Lavis urban node andto report back to the community onthe project.The committee includes mem-
bers of the local community fromvarious sectors including arts andculture, civic associations, educa-tion, sport, safety and security,
non-governmental organisations,youth, business, vulnerablegroups and faith-based groups.The study of the focus area (pic-
tured above) will include an explo-ration of the potential for:
. Establishing a non-motorisedtransport link from the Lavistownstation to the town centre.
. Reconfiguration of the sportsfield to optimise the use of public
land.. Creating a positive/active
northern edge to Bishop LavisDrive.
. Creating opportunities forhigh quality spaces in the precinct.
.Creating opportunities forSMMEs and developers.
. Promoting crime preventionthrough environmental design toincrease the safety of the users ofthe urban node and to ensure bestuse of public facilities.
. Identifying capital projectsand programmes with the view toinforming future budgetingwithinthe City.The focus areas include the town
centre, the community sportsfields to its north, the vacant landadjacent to the sports fields, thelink to Lavistown station, as wellas the public open space to thesouth of the town centre.The core focus area boundary
where any interventions will takeplace is outlined in red. The broad-er area which will be analysed dueto its influence on this core area isoutlined in orange. It is critical tohave an informed contextual un-derstanding of the Urban Nodewithin the context of Bishop Lavis.The area also forms part of the
Mayoral Urban Regeneration Pro-gramme (Murp). The objective ofthe Murp is to uplift formerly ne-glected, underinvested areaswhich are regressing rapidly, andto improve safety, quality of lifeand the socio-economic situationwith a particular focus on theshared or public environment andunlocking investment partner-ships.

There is more than martial arts at theKarate-Zen dojo in Bishop Lavis – it’sabout growing through life.
That is the mantra that has been instilledthere by their sensei Kiyoshi Eddie duPlessis who was one of the founder mem-bers of Karate-Zen SA in 1982.“You must not GO through life, you must
GROW through life,” says the 7th dan whohas been teaching the sport in Bishop Lavisfor more than 30 years.“At Karate-Zen we teach respect, disci-
pline, self-defence as well as to boost yourself-confidence. We also believe in peopleand their abilities and together we strive tobe successful.“Three of my senior students that are
proof of this growth are Ebrahim Abra-hams, Gasant Abrahams and Jermaine Ro-man who have been training with me forover 18 years and really took the messageof growing through life to heart.”Du Plessis was also proud of their recent
achievements at an international tourna-ment that was held this year.
“Our dojo did very well when they wonmore than ten medals at the Karate-Zen in-ternational championship that tookplace atthe Belhar indoor centre in May.“Jude Kock won two gold medals, Tahriq
Groenwald won gold and silver while Shak-iel Heyns and Zelia Martin won gold.”With all these achievements Du Plessis
feels that there is room for growth in theclub, but they need some sponsorships toget more children taking part.“Wewould really like to help other young
childrenwhoare also interested in the sportas this would keep them off the streets,” hesays. “There are a lot of youths out therewho are interested but cannot afford it asa lot of parents are unemployed.“It’s about more than the sport – it’s also
about teaching them to realise the positivepotential within themselves.“By assisting them it is an investment in
the future of this community and in theirfutures. All forms of sponsorship will go to-wards their fees and getting more trainingequipment.”V For more information about joining the dojo ortheir needs contact Kiyoshi Eddie Du Plessis on 084586 7651.

Street fun on the run in BellvilleMAGRIET THERON

“We grew up playing inthe streets; this is sowonderful,” says Ven-
da-born Gumani Ramaliba aboutOpen Streets, a first ever event forBellville on 4 October.Here people across borders of
age and race had the opportunityto, for one day, challenge their per-ceptions and enjoy a car-free sec-tion of Voortrekker Road andKruskal Avenue.They played cricket with special
guests the Cape Cobras cricketteam, listened to stories, had theirfaces painted, made super herocapes for someextra awesomepow-ers, played chess andwitnessed themaking of a huge graffiti panel.The road was abuzz with thewheels of skateboards, roller-blades, bicycles and even somecus-
tom-made Flywheel chariots.One of the highlights for some
was a breakdance performance bydifferent artists, some as young asthree years old.Chalk was handed out to all who
wanted to write and draw on theVoortrekker Road street surface,an area that was once used by trav-ellers on horseback when this wasstill the only road from Cape Townto the countryside. Now, on a nor-mal day, pedestrians have to waitat designated road crossings for agap in the relentless traffic to crossthis busy road.Open Streets Cape Town, an or-
ganisation based on a Colombianmodel, wants to open road sectionsin busy areas to the community ona regular basis to encourage peopleto connect. The event, a fourth forCape Town, was facilitated by theGreater Tygerberg Parnership(GTP).
Says Marcela Guerrero Casas,co-founder and director of OpenStreets Cape Town: “It is an experi-ment in which everyone in CapeTown will have a chance to chal-lenge their perceptions, witnessthe amazing changes that historyhas brought to this place and dis-cover new gems.”V Would you like to see an Open Streetsevent in your area? Contact the organisers on 072 214 6736 or visit their web sitewww.openstreets.co.za. For more GTP initiatives, visit them at www.gtp.org.za.

Imaam, Shehaam, Samaa andQuanita Nordien from Strandfontein
say they hope that Open Streets willgo to their area too. “We will
volunteer to play with children,”Shehaam says.
Fowzaan Iqbal knows Voortrekker Road well, because his father has been running a business in Bellville for manyyears. But for the first time ever, he was allowed to live his first passion here: a cricket game with the Cape Cobrasteam.

Belharwaitingfor yourcallGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
If you want to be part of fighting povertyandmaking a change through empower-ment, there’s an organisation in Belhar
waiting on your call.The Poverty Relief and Empowerment
for Change Organisation (Preco), situatedon the corners of Arundel and Pontacstreets, is a non-profit organisation that ad-dresses prominent matters in the commu-nity. Their priorities range from substanceabuse including alcohol abuse, to domesticviolence and after-school programmes.Headed by founder Fahgmeeda Ameero-
dien, a single mother of four, it started inJanuaryof 2003 and still strives to empowernot only the younger generation, but alsothe adults and those closely associatedwithpeople suffering from substance abuse.Ameerodien is also the coordinator of the
victim empowerment project at the Belharpolice station.The organisation works closely with
other role players onvariousprojects in thecommunity. These include Belhar SAPS,SR4Y (Safe Roads for Youth), the Depart-ment of Social Development, Ackermanshead office as well as the City of CapeTown’s EPWP program for youth.“One of the primary projects currently
underway is focused on substance abuse,and when it comes to addicts, many of usmight be confused on what to do or whereto go,” says Ameerodien.“At Preco, addicts or rather clients, are
dealt with with the highest quality of care,concern and professional counselling.”Ameerodien, also one of the councillors,
encourages parents and the public to comeforward to address such matters.“Many parents are out of their depth
when it comes to ideas on how to save theirchild from substance abuse. They mightnot be able to afford the high costs of reha-bilitation, while others could say that re-hab does not work for their child.“With patience, the correct approach and
determination, any addict can be cured,”she said, and explained that in most casesaddicts are considered the outcast of socie-ty, even though they are trying to changeor even have been cured.Preco offers the client the opportunity of
feeling the need to be a part of somethingspecial – something that makes them re-turn again and again.Every client is important, given equal
treatment and also nurtured on how to sur-vive in the outside world.“Parents should be nurtured in order to
nurture” is a motto that Ameerodien feelscan create a better social and family envi-ronment for addicts.“Giving parents tools on how to handle
their child is what we are currently ad-dressing,” she said.Another high-priority project that they
run in conjunction with Belhar SAPS andSR4Y will focus mainly on youth and theeffects of substance abuse.“Abuse is a cycle that partly starts with
substance abuse,” she added.“Individuals whose children are not on
drugs or drinking alcohol could ask whatthis has to do with them. Well, everyone insociety is affected – directly or indirectly.“An uncle or a cousin, a friend or more
commonly, the neighbour, could be usingdrugs. Are we just simply going to cut our-selves from these people?”Theorganisation is looking formore resi-
dents to join them in their activities.“Everybody can play their part, helping
to maintain the containers that we workfrom, and the youth can be part of our playsthat have amessage about substance abuseand road safety. If we all work together, itwill make for better and safer neighbour-hoods,” she said.V More information is available from Ameerodienon 078 209 7706 or email [email protected].

ous experience in the tournament wasa benefit, said, “I knew what to expectin the tournament, which helped me alot in terms of my individual perform-ance. In every match I always gave mybest and tested myself.”Mkosi had already received a few ac-
colades during the course of the tourna-ment, including Man of the Matchagainst WSU and the Samsung SuperStriker Award when UWC secured a 2-1victory againstVUT in round four of thetournament. He contributed to turningUWC into one of the most formidablesides in the competition, and it came asno surprise when the Western Cape
team was crowned the 2015 tournamentchampions, an achievement Mkosichalks up to hard work in training andthe backing of enthusiastic home sup-porters.Other players who had a great run
this season areRoenOctober, a keymanfor UWCwho helped them cement theirplace at the top of the table with someacrobatic saves between the posts; GiftBaloyi, who stunned VUT with a 90th-minute volley to help seal a 2-1 win forWits; and Sipho Sibiya, who snatched awinner for TUT against Madibaz to pro-pel his team to second on the log at thetime.“The tournamenthasunearthed a few
young potential football stars since itsinception, and one of these is ThaboMnyamane, who became the first Varsi-ty Football player to make the step upto the national team,” saidVarsity Foot-ball operational executive Xhanti-Lom-zi Nesi. “Varsity Football aims to devel-op more stars who can one day make itinto the national side and make theircountry proud.”

STEHAN SCHOEMAN
At the age of 17, Kyle AppelHaupt (Brackenfell HighSchool) is making a name for
himself as a sprinter on the worldstage.
Kyle is the TygerBurger Sportstarof the Month winner.
Earlier this year Kyle ran the200m in a time of 20:57 at the WorldYouth Athletics championship inColumbia, winning a silver medal.What makes this achievement evenmore remarkable is the fact that thistime was the second fastest time(youth) in the world ever and theeighth fastest time in history over-all, with Jamaican icon Usain Boltthe world record holder with 19:19.
“Running that time was massivefor my confidence. It showed me thatI am good enough to compete withthe best in the world and it only
drives me to work harder and im-prove on my times.
“I have to thank my coach, MarcelOtto. We train five days a week. Wemake a good team and it shows in theresults. It makes things easier whenyou have a good support structure athome as well. I am truly blessed,”said Kyle.
Kyle represented Western Prov-ince junior rugby, but soon realisedthat the track was his forte.
“I do the 100m and 200m, and atour school meetings I also do the400m for fun, but my focus is theshorter distance. I would have to saythat the 200m is my favourite as I al-ways pick up speed late in the race.
“This year has been a good one forme. At the Athletics South Africachampionship earlier this year inBloemfontein I won silver in the 100m and gold in the 200m and gold inthe 4x100m relay. At the African
Youth championship in Mauritius Iwon silver again in the 100m and Iam very proud of our gold medal inthe relay.
