Brigadier Hendrik Jansen, station com- mander for Delft, expressed his concern in respect of incidents of house robberies and carjackings that occurred in Delft, and fears that it could be on the rise. According to Jansen, 17 cases of house rob- beries had been reported for November, as well as 13 cases of carjacking. “During last month we noticed an in- crease in these crimes and fear that it could increase as people start preparing for the holidays,” he said. “The criminals are becoming more devi- ous and target houses where people have bought flat screen TVs or new appliances. “They then go to those houses and make enquiries about someone that is known to the household before producing guns and robbing the household. “With carjackings, their modus operandi is to wait until the drivers attempt to pull their vehicle into their yard, hold them up at gunpoint and then flee with the car.” Jansen requested that residents be more aware of their surroundings and to take note of suspicious people around them. “We’ve had reasonable success in appre- hending suspects, but caution should the core in avoiding these incidents.” Police in the area are also looking for more information with relation to some recent in- cidents: .

The victims, a 63-year-old man and a 61-year-old woman, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and the couple’s dog was al- so injured in the process as it tried to protect them. Both victims died as a result of their inju- ries, but before the woman died she was able to tell police that they were attacked for re- fusing to store guns on their property. While a 21-year-old man has been arrested, police are looking for more information re- lated to the crime.

On Monday 23 November at 17:00 a stu- dent living in Berzelia Street, Belhar, came back from campus when he was shot in an attempted robbery.

The Belhar Community Forum (BCF)wants readers to celebrate safetywhen theyhost their annual gala ball later thismonth.The main objective of this forum is to
make Belhar a safe, convenient and attract-ivehome for its residents. “Likemanyotherareas in the country, Belhar is being affect-ed by crime,” said Nic Titus, one of themembers.“Gang-related incidents in certain parts
of Belhar often make it difficult for policeto respond immediately to urgent calls fromvarious parts of the area.“With many learning facilities in the ar-
ea, students walking to and from institu-tions are also particularly vulnerable.“As recently reported in your paper,
neighbourhood watch structures have in-creased in sector 1 (mainly the older partsof Belhar). To help in improving safety andsecurity, the BCF operates one of the neigh-bourhood watches in the area.”With contributions from the community,
BCF makes available trained patrollerswho move around the area and assist com-munity members and other neighbourhoodstructures in the area.
Excellent co-operation between the vari-ous neighbourhood structures in the areais showing positive results.To fulfil its other roles, BCF helps in ad-
dressing other civic problems in the area.It engages with the Belhar community, lo-cal authorities and parastatals with regardto various civic matters.These matters include traffic congestion,
illegal dumping, condition of the road net-work, etcetera.“At the recent general meeting, fighting
crime was the main concern, but residentsalso still share their concern that the infra-structure of the area will be severelystrained by the planned increase of housingunits in the area,” added Titus.“The latter concern is one which BCF
wants to strongly bring to the attention ofauthorities and planners.”The organisation is inviting the public to
join them at their gala ball which will beheld on Friday 18 December in the Belharcivic centre in Bloulelie Circle.The show starts at 20:00 and tickets are
R100 per person with Cool Sounds provid-ing the music.V Tickets and more information can be obtainedfrom Norton Gelderbloem on 082 372 7764 or AbeKlink on 082 339 1628.

According to the investigating officer, De-tective Constable Eon Dreyer, robberymight have been the motive as the two menwere seen in a struggle, but the suspect fledempty handed, leaving behind the seriouslyinjured student.Anyone with information can contact
Dreyer on 021 953 8100 or 083 957 7586.Police in the area have also made some
notable arrests:. On Tuesday 24 November officers on
patrol noticed two suspects at about 23:00 onthe corner of Tamarisk and Melkhoutstreets in Delft South.
When they spotted thepolice, themen fledon foot, but a 23-year-old suspect was appre-hended and found to be in possession of a9mm Norinco pistol with a magazine con-taining eight rounds.Later during that same patrol the same
team responded to a complaint of stolenproperty at about 04:00.The officers searched the premises in
Palm Street and arrested a 23-year-old malein possession of a 9mm pistol with onemag-azine containing 13 rounds. Both suspectsare facing charges for the illegal possessionof a firearm and ammunition.
Sassa relief a big help: When ward councillor Johanna Martlow became aware offood parcels that were distributed by Sassa’s social relief and disaster fund, she immediately set about working to register some residents from the Malawi camp. These parcelsare for people without income or if they receive a child grant for up to two children. Ifthey receive for more, they do not qualify. Helping at the handout were, from left, SAPSsector manager Sergeant Sihle Michwanazi, Johanna Martlow, Elizabeth Lewies fromMalawi Camp, PR councillor Jackie Visser and Alex Harmse from Sassa.

Some interesting times are lying aheadfor children of Uitsig and surroundingareas during the festive holidays.
The City of Cape Town is launching a newholiday programme concept in the area aswell as in Mfuleni this December.The pilot is part of the City’s new Trans-
versal Youth Development Strategy whichaims to consolidate and improve coordina-tion of youth programmes in the city. Thestrategy’s overarching goal is to provide in-tegrated services, opportunities and supportfor young people, in order to help them be-come resilient, healthy, independent, re-sponsible, and economically active changeagents.An internal audit of youth programmes
found that various departments in the Cityhost nearly 400 projects that reach close to300 000 young people. The audit also foundoverlaps and duplication in some instances,while identifying gaps in other areas.“Wehavebeenhostingyouthprogrammes
for years, but these have been fragmentedandwe haven’t always been clear on the endgoals and how they tie in with the City’soverall strategy,” said the City’s Maycomember for social development and earlychildhood development, Suzette Little.“The process of drafting the youth devel-
opment strategy has helped not only crystal-lise our objectives, but is also the blueprintfor howwe empower young people going for-ward. Departments will continue running
their own programmes, but in line with thestrategy and the desired outcomes.”Holiday programmes are considered a
crucial platform for engagementwith youngpeople, with hundreds of interventions of-fered at community facilities every year.The pilot projects inMfuleni andUitsig havebeen designed within the framework of thenew youth development strategy.They will target 150 young people in each
area, aged between 13 and 18, with themedactivities over a five-day period between 7and 11 December. A number of line depart-ments are involved in the projects, with acombined spend of R300 000.The experiences from these projects will
form the basis of a standard operating proce-
dure for future holiday programmes hostedby City line departments.“We have many unengaged young people
in our communities, and this is a perfect op-portunity to reach out to them and make ameaningful difference in their lives,” con-tinued Little.“We need to help broaden the horizons of
our youth, particularly those at risk. We areconstantly faced with a barrage of questionsabout how to protect our youth from the rav-ages of social ills like teen pregnancy, gang-sterism and substance abuse.“An important step is by engaging with
and empowering them by instilling a senseof belief in themselves that they can rewritetheir narrative.”
Interesting times for the holidays
TheCapeTownMaleVoiceChoirwill be pre-senting their Summer Celebration Concert atBishops Chapel in Rondebosch on Sunday 6December from 19:00.The choir will be led by its new musical
director Peter Roux in a varied programmeof interesting and uplifting choral worksspanningmany different cultures andmusi-cal styles.

Debt relief for students and support tooutsourced staff at the University ofthe Western Cape (UWC) enjoyed the
spotlight in meetings on the campus lastweek.
The UWC council spent considerable timediscussing the recent events on the campusand as part of this discussion the councilwas informed of the status of the joint dis-cussions between the UWC management,the SRC and representatives of the UWC#Feeswillfall (UWC #FWF) movement.
The written submission, presented by theUWC #Feeswillfall movement, formed partof the discussions.
UWC spokesperson Luthando Tyhalibon-go explained that the university councilnoted that the #Feeswillfall concerns dove-tailed with many of the agenda items tabledinitially by the SRC but they also noted andexpressed appreciation for the facilitatingrole that the chancellor has played in someof these complex discussions.
“These discussions and decisions werespecifically informed by its appreciation ofthe plight of the poor and students’ struggleto gain equitable access to affordable highereducation opportunities, responsibility toensure the long-term financial viability ofthe university, and implicit responsibilityto protect and support the integrity and sus-tainability of the academic project of theuniversity,” he said.
“The university respects the rights of in-dividuals to protest, but strongly condemnsthe acts of violence, vandalism, arson andintimidation that occurred on campus dur-ing the past weeks.”
Many of the challenges that deal withsome of the implications of a hugely une-qual society cannot be solved or adequatelyresolved by universities, but as a first steptowards finding some solutions, the univer-
sity has agreed to some proposals in regardto student debt relief:
. In terms of the 2013-2015 National stu-dent financial aid scheme debt, it wasagreed that UWC will issue a concessionaryinstrument that will provide debt relief forUWC’s 2013-2015 NSFAS eligible students.
. The university will look at developinga means test to establish a threshold for stu-dents who fall outside of the NSFAS thresh-old, but do require some financial support.With support from government, the privatesector and other parties, UWC will thenlook at providing a form of debt relief forstudents in this category.
As far as insourcing goes, there wasagreement that the socio-economic condi-tions of outsourced staff are unacceptableand contribute to increased inequities. Thefinancial implications of insourcing wascarefully considered and it was decidedthat, given the university’s financial posi-tion, the impact of insourcing together withother concessions make it an unaffordableoption at this stage.
. The university has, however, approvedthat all outsourced staff (cleaning, securityand gardens and grounds staff) will receivea R2 000 monthly allowance effective from1 December this year.
. Outsourced staff will also have accessto the same study rebates as for permanentstaff for themselves and their children.
“With regards to the Kovacs residencecomplex which is a private-public residencedevelopment, the pricing of rooms in Ko-vacs is much higher than the university ischarging for its own residences,” added Ty-halibongo.
“The university council agreed that theKovacs model is fraught with difficultiesand expressed its commitment to find a so-lution to the problem.”

While crime, drug abuse andgangster-ism is prevalent in so many neigh-bourhoods on the Cape Flats, there
are always pockets of positivity whereyoung people are making decisions toachieve their potential in life.One of the shining examples is the Future-
link programme at the Counselling and So-cial Development Centre in Bishop Lavis.On Friday they hosted their graduation
ceremony for the latest batch of learnersfrom surrounding schools who participatedin the project for this year.The former director of the centre, Ronelda
Louw, spoke with passion about the impor-tance of this project encouraging thelearners to spread thewordabout their expe-riences to motivate more youth to take partin the project.“The CSD focuses on the social needs in
the community – especially the youth – sothat it eventually results in a safer and grow-ing community,” she said.“Futurelink is only one of the many pro-
grammesoffered topeople to empower them-selves but it specifically focuses on Grade 11learners to prepare them to look at careerchoices.”This project provides the participants
with an opportunity to job shadow duringthe June break and hosts workshops everysecondweek to discuss the various study op-tions available to them.“Since starting this project a fewyears ago
we have seen many participants getting theopportunity to study in their chosen fields,but more importantly some of them have re-alised that it’s not what they expected andthey could adapt or change their mindsabout what they wanted for their futures,”added Louw.The new director of themanagement team
at the centre, David Sias, thanked Louw for
her years of service at thehelmof the organi-sation.“Ronelda, you have made a major differ-
ence in somany lives and you are still givingso much of your time to the people of yourhome town.“You have set a high standard of service
and we will do our best to maintain thosehigh levels for the future,” he said.
The former director of the CSD centre, RoneldaLouw, left, was thanked for her contribution inthe community by graduate Chernay Borcherds.
Braving the cold water: The Maranatha Baptist Church hosted their Family Fun Dayon Saturday 21 November at Belhar Primary School. They braved the cold weather for aday of fun and games and definitely made great memories. Some of the kids cameprepared for games like soccer and cricket but that was not on the agenda for the day.The committee in charge of the day decided that they wanted this to be a fun day witha twist. Instead of the typical sports tournaments played on days like these, they decidedto take the kids back to the games adults played when they were kids, like 3blikkies andkennetjie. When the sun eventually made its appearance there was some fun to be hadon the slippery slide for the youngsters. PHOTO: GARY VAN DYK

In fact, the Cape Music Institute graduate,from Bellville South is a regular on stagewith the Winston Siljeur Project and the Se-bastian Jacobs band, but she’s also hard atwork to build her own singing career.
Lauren’s musical journey started be-grudgingly at home. “In a musical home, youare basically forced to sing.”
She hated it, but her family forced her tosing in her grandfather’s church, and withtime her talent grew on her and she went onto study music. She started singing withboth the Winston Siljeur Project and the Se-bastian Jacobs band while she was still
studying and says her journey with themhas been amazing, adding that she’s learnta lot from her fellow musicians.
“Both groups have had a goodeffect on me.” Both bands are 13-piece acts that perform mostlyoriginal pieces.
While Lauren has the talent,she also has no illusions aboutthe local music industry.
“I know it will take hard workand I will work with the rightpeople to make a name for my-self,” she said.
She recently started workingwith British music manager Da-vid Gummers after her friendand mentor, Desne Jodamus, introduced thetwo. David has been helping Lauren withher musical decisions and securing expo-
sure, like her upcoming interview on the tel-evision show Hectic Nine-9 later this month.
She’s also started working witha vocal coach. “Everyone tellsme I have a unique voice whenthey hear me,” she says, adding:“It has a raspiness.”
Music fans can catch Laurenin action when she performstwo shows with the Winston Sil-jeur Project this weekend.
On Saturday they’ll be at theHugo Lambrechts Music Centrefrom 18:00 for the Rose Concert,a fund-raising show for the AdLibitum Music Academy inRobertson. The concert will fea-

ner 16 jaar gelede.Valencia (14) is in Junie 1999 in Eucalyp-
tusstraat, Eersterivier vermoor.Sy is as dood agtergelaat, maar kon daar-
in slaag om haar aanvallers by ’n hospitaalte identifiseer. Sy het kort daarna aan haarwondebeswyk. Sy ismeeras 50keer gesteeken haar keel is afgesny.Maasdorp se saak is ’n maand gelede tot

Members of the New Apostolic Churchmay be forgiven for doing the can-can after one of their projects is prov-
ing that a can can make a difference in achild’s life!On Saturday 21 November the scene was
set with 5 168 cans, 75 boxes, 20 volunteers,88 minutes and the CAN 30 000 project for2015 was a wrap.This project was born from the head of the
New Apostolic Church in Cape Town, dis-trict Apostle Noel Barnes’ vision to collect30 000 cans of non-perishable food across theCape Apostle area. While this project wasmainly driven by the Sunday School body,parents and members in each congregationwere also encouraged to participate. Eachweek variousmilestoneswere set, culminat-ing in the handover of the cans being alignedwith Universal Children’s Day.From bully beef to baked beans, the prepa-
ration for the handover took place on 21 No-vember when all the cans were collectedfrom New Apostolic churches in Elsies Riv-er, Goodwood and surrounding areas.They were then sorted at a central loca-
tion, packed, boxed and divided among thedeserving institutions which were ear-marked as recipients of this donation.Olivia Thomas, from the church, pointed
out that the United Nation’s Universal Chil-dren’sDaywas established in 1954 and is cel-ebrated on November 20 each year.“This is to promote international togeth-
erness, awareness among children world-wide, and improving children’s welfare,”she said.“The Elsies River Bishop area identified
five institutions within the community thatin some way address the focus of UniversalChildren’s Day.These are the national war memorial
health foundation the Matroosfontein
Crèche, that places an emphasis on develop-ment of children at pre-school level, the Te-hillah community collaborative that pro-vides a safety net for the poor and vulnera-ble, the House to your Destiny shelter forabused women and children, Cravenby carecentre which is a haven for abused womenand children, and the Filia School which isa special needs school for learners with in-tellectual and physical challenges.”On Sunday 22 November Bishop Alvin
Witten conducted a divine service in Salber-au Congregation, which was followed by theCAN 30 000 handover. Invited to this servicewere representatives of the five institutions,
which were earmarked as recipients of thedonation of cans and the 2016 confirmandsof the Bishop area.The text which served as a basis for the
divine service was taken from Acts 20:35(portion of) “And remember thewords of theLord Jesus, that He said ‘it is more blessedto give than to receive’.”After the conclusion of the divine service,
a short presentation was screened to intro-duce the five institutions. This was followedby the handover ceremony where BishopWitten presented the representative of eachinstitution with a certificate and a can as atoken of the donation they later received.

Rico Hattingh made history on Saturday 21November when he became the first and on-ly first dan black belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
martial artist in Cape Town under the guidanceof Roberto Atalla.Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires a lot of hard work
and dedication.Somuch so, that it takes aminimumof ten years
of full-time commitment to achieve the black belt.It takes another minimum of three years to gradeto a dan.“I feel honoured to be the
only man in Cape Town thatis a first dan black belt. I amstill the only heavyweightMMA fighter that was neverdefeated in the country be-tween 2003 and 2011 and Bra-zilian Jiu-Jitsu played a mas-sive role in my success.“Roberto is the chief of one
of the biggest organisationsin the world that is based inBrazil. Rio Grappling Clubhas clubs all over the worldand to be associated with theproud institution is fantastic.“Many people don’t realise
the years of work that go intoachieving a first dan blackbelt. I was very fortunate tobe graded to my first dan inthree years. If Roberto seesyou have not progressed suf-ficiently you just have togrind it out and step up the in-tensity.“Roberto travels the world
to his different clubs and hevisits South Africa once ayear. It is a humbling experi-ence learning from this greatman and it feels like an earlyChristmas present beinggraded,” said Hattinghproudly. Hattingh, who runs
the REPS MMA and Crossfit Edward Street inBellville, is giving back through his expertise andsharing his experience with the younger genera-tions.He travels throughout Cape Town to teach at
schools in the northern and southern suburbs.EFC fighters Gideon Drotschie and Luke Michaelalso established themselves on the internationalscene with Hattingh in their corner.Hattingh is poised to grade to his second dan in
the next three years making him one of the verybest on the African continent.

Terwyl Bellville die afgelope naweek indie jongste reeks tweedaagse krieket-wedstryde in die WP onverwags sy rie-
me styfgeloop het teen St. Augustine, wasEdgemead die enigste van die voorste Tyger-bergse spanne wat aan die wenkant was.Hoewel RobyKapp (5/42) toegesien het dat
Bellville ’n eerstebeurt-voorsprong van 29lopies teen St. Augustine (174) verkry het endie Bellvilliete toe op 174/3 (Bradley Barnes68) ’n sportiewe beurtsluiting gedoen het,het dit die besoekers nie daarvan weerhouom met 206/8 ’n naelskraapse oorwinningmet twee paaltjies te behaal nie.Die wedstryd tussen die Universiteit van
Wes-Kaapland (206/6) en Durbanville (207/7gesl.) het soos verwag is, onbeslis geëindignadat ’n nat veld geen spel op die eerste dagmoontlik gemaakhet nie.DaleCampbell (58)
was die Durbies se beste kolwer, terwyl Ash-ley Cupido (53) en Esmund van Wyk (48) diebeste vir die tuisspan vertoon het.Edgemead (172) het Avendale (94) met 116
lopies verslaan ná goeie bydraes deurMarioStoop (71), Jonathan Schwerin (3/12, vir ’nwedstrydontleding van 8/27) en Solly Peters(3/34). InTygerberg-klub (122 en 148/8) se on-besliste wedstryd teen Ottoman (209/7 en136/7) was Reece Kensley (42) en Nathan Oc-tober (5/36) die staatmakers in die Flori-dapark-span. Derick Brand (121 en 31) wasdie groot uitblinker in die onbesliste wed-stryd tussen Noordelikes-Goodwood (201 en151/7) en Milnerton (201 en 218/8 gesl.).Brendon Philander (4/52, vir ’n wedstryd-
ontleding van 9/90) en Tertius Raubenhei-mer (48) het ook hul kant gebring in dieGoodwood-span, terwyl Christo Bothma(5/49) en Malcolm Cloete (50) goed vertoonhet vir Milnerton.
