The march organised by the Brook- lyn, Ysterplaat Neighbourhood Watch (BYNHW) and Maitland Community Police Forum was aimed at raising awareness about the impact of drugs on communities. Provincial communi- ty safety minister Dan Plato joined marchers who held up posters and pleaded with residents to report drug dealers. The march was led by Mait- land Visible Policing head, Captain Louis Solomons, who explains among the main concerns are the businesses used as fronts for drug dealers. Barber shops biggest drug problem He explains there are three main drug outlets which officers keep a close eye on and search regularly. “If you look at the volume of drugs confiscated at these properties you can see the difference that is being made. Our biggest problem is the barber shops. Many of them are not actual businesses and used as a front for deal- ers. Maitland police only cover part of Brooklyn and the rest of the area is po- liced by Milnerton police.” Solomons explains in the Maitland precinct they received good coopera- tion from residents about drug activi- ties. In many of these cases officers have been able to make arrests and confiscate several drugs. “Marches like this are important. It lets the dealers know that people are fed up and they have had enough. With more education and awareness we have seen more people come forward with information and we have been successful in most cases. When it comes to the barber shops, we need more information,” he says. Drugs fuelling crime BYNHW chairperson Cheryl Castle says the impact of drugs can be seen in the breaking down of families and called for residents to start reporting incidents more frequently. “If you look at Brooklyn, you can see how the drugs are fuelling crime and prostitution. “It really is affecting everyone, and many families have to deal with a fam- ily member who is addicted. We also need to start treating addiction as an illness. “We need the community to become more involved and help us take a stand against the dealers and start cleaning up Brooklyn.” In his address, Plato also focused on dealers and encouraged residents to remain motivated.

Commenting on the amount of people whoattended the march, Plato said: “Don’t wor-ry about the numbers. Today you are send-ing out a message to the public and to thoseinvolved indrugs andgangsterism that resi-dents are not in favour of what they are do-ing.Drugabuse is thebiggest problem in theWestern Cape and if you look at the crime
statistics you will see Milnerton is up therein the top ten for being a drug and prostitu-tion hub. We need to take note of that.Thanks to the neighbourhood watch volun-teers who are doing this because they lovetheir community”.He called for residents to report drug deal-
ers and help police “sniff” them out.
“Get the information to help the policetake these people to court. Our country willgo to ruin because of drugs and those deal-ers don’t give a damn.

The roll-out of the controversial inform-al trading plan for the Blaauwberg sub-council area has commenced.
A presentation on the implementation ofthe plan was tabled at the monthly subcoun-cil meeting last week by officials from theCity of Cape Town’s economic developmentdepartment.In her report, subcouncil chairperson
Heather Brenner explained the plan hasbeen in the pipeline for three years and wasgazetted in December.During 2015, the plan cameunder scrutiny
as Table View residents cried foul over thepublic participation process and the Citylaunched an investigation into their con-cerns.The planwas later approved by themayor-
al committee and full council.In his presentation Abel Kortje explained
that the application and screening of tradershad already begun in Atlantis, and that Ta-ble View, Melkbosstrand and Milnertonwould follow shortly. According to the pre-sentation, this is set to be completed by Feb-ruary.Official Paul Williamson explained once
this process was complete, traders withoutpermits will not be allowed to trade.Councillors raised several questions
about the implementation of the plan, andlaw enforcement, the allocation of bays andthe costs took centre stage.Councillor Joy McCarthy questioned
whether or not the informal trading task
team had acquired additional staff to policethe trading sites.Asked who will be receiving permits,
Kortje explained the department was liai-sing with current traders who have conces-sion letters and are registered on the City’sdatabase. He explained trading bays will beallocated to these individuals first.Several councillors, however, raised con-
cerns about the application process not be-ingmade public and said they feared a back-lash from others who missed out.Dunoon councillor Lubablo Makeleni
raised concerns about permits being issuedto foreign nationals and questioned how thepermits will be monitored.“How is this going to be monitored with
very little law enforcement? Also, who is go-ing to get these permits, because the foreignnationals are everywhere and we want ourpeople to get a chance.”In response Williamson explained the
screening process would determine who issuitable for a permit. He explained officialswere not allowed to refuse foreign nationalswho are living in South Africa legally.Healso explained shoulda trader sell their
permit, both the buyer and seller would bebarred from obtaining a permit in the fu-ture. Each permit will cost R75 and is renew-able monthly.In addition, he explained, there have been
discussions about implementing a three-year expiry date after which bays will be al-located to different individuals.V What are your thoughts on informal trading in TableView and Milnerton? Send your views [email protected].

‘Lack of support’ cripples committeeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Just months after the establishment of aLocal Network of Care (LNOC) in Ward55, the committee may disband. Speak-
ing during themonthlymeeting held on Sat-urday, the committee explained theywere inlimbo due to a lack of support from commu-nity organisations and the City of CapeTown’s social development department.The network is an initiative by the City’s
social developmentdepartment and is aimedat forming a body of local organisations ina specific ward to holistically address socialissues such as homelessness and children atrisk among others. This committee is consti-tuted under themunicipality’s Street Peopleprogramme and works with social servicesnetworks across various wards.The Ward 55 committee which covers
Brooklyn, Rugby, Sanddrift and Ysterplaatwas officially formed in July last year buta few months later the committee says theyare unsure about what will happen next.Coordinator Maureen Jangle says during
the first election only four posts were filled.In recent weeks, the secretary has resignedleaving three people on the committee.“We contacted the social development offi-
cials to inform them of the lack of support
and how we are not sure what to do next. Interms of the constitution, we are supposedto be six people, so from the start we did nothave enough people. We asked them to cometoday but no show and you can see there isalmost nobody here.”Jangle says shortly after being elected she
reached out to various organisations in thewardwho are assisting homeless people andenquired how the committee could assist.“I went to the soup kitchens to try and as-
sist the homeless people with obtainingidentity documents so they can apply for so-cial grants to work. But those who run thesoup kitchens and feeding schemes are notinterested and I think they feel we want tointerfere. This is not the case. We want tohelp people to help themselves,” she says.According to the committee there are sev-
eral organisations and institutions that pro-vide meals to the homeless. Without struc-tured interventions, social problems causedby vagrancy will only perpetuate.Speakingduring themeeting, deputy coor-
dinator Justin Kumlehn said while the net-work was a great idea, it could not survivewithout support from the community andgovernment officials. He expressed his dis-may at the absence of City officials who con-firmed their attendance and said they didnot seem interested in assisting the net-
work.“In this area, there are many organisa-
tions and 90% of them are not registered. Asthe LNOC has to consist of registered mem-bers, this poses a problem. Most of the orga-nisations are not in it for the glory and notinterested in finding long term solutions tothe problems.“The City officials
continue to makepromises to assist usbut are not here.They set this up andthen don’t supportthose elected.”Jangle and Kum-
lehn will now write aletter to Mayco mem-ber for social devel-opment and earlychildhood develop-ment, Suzette Little,explaining why they plan to disband.According to Little the establishment of
LNOCs is aimed at getting to take ownershipof the challenges.The network has two main focus areas
namely to assist the social development de-partment to reunite people with their fami-lies and to prevent people frommigrating tothe streets.
Responding to claims about a lack of sup-port from the department, Little says offi-cials from the reintegration unit and otherstaff have been attending themeetings sincethe organisation’s inception.“The department is aware that the group
is still in the teethingphaseand is experienc-ing some challenges, therefore training and
development hasbeen planned for thefirst quarter of thisyear.”Referring to the
LNOC constitution,she explains shouldthe network want todisband, a motion topropose the dissolu-tion of the LNOC is tobe supported by atleast two thirds of themembership at a spe-
cial general meeting.“The City would prefer that no LNOC
group be disbanded. We are aware of thechallenges within the Brooklyn LNOC thatwill be addressed with the strategies wehave identified to be implemented in this fi-nancial year. The department appointed anewofficial inDecemberwhowill be respon-sible for LNOCs city-wide.”
The City officialscontinue to makepromises to assistus but are not here.They set this up andthen don’t supportthose elected.

They have hope, but need donorsMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
As businesses and donors tighten theirpurse strings, a local child care organi-sation is appealing for help.
Founded in 2005, Home of Hope in TableViewcares for childrenwhohavebeenaban-doned, abused, raped, neglected, born withFoetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)or infected with HIV.For chief executive Eleanor Brook keep-
ing the organisation’s doors open is a daunt-inganddifficult task, butwitha strongbeliefin creating an environment for these chil-dren to prosper, she continues to motivatethe team.
Last year the organisation acquired aproperty in Milnerton which formerlyhoused an old age home. The house, consist-ing of 18 rooms, will serve as a home for thechildren in their care. However, shortly be-fore Christmas a water pipe at the homeburst and several household contents weredamaged.Speaking to TygerBurger as the organisa-
tionplans for theyear ahead,Brookexplainsfunding has slowed downwithmany donorsand businesses feeling the pinch.“The funding has become less and less and
we have gone into discussions with donorsand businesses who use to donate regularlyand found that many businesses are feelingthe pinch of the economy. As times get
tougher, they have to cut back on donations.Currently we care for 19 children in thehomeand 37 at the school. Ifwedonot sourceadditional funding soon, we fear we mayhave to close.”With staggering statistics on the amount
of children born with FASD each year,Brook explains the organisation’s work isnot only aimed at assisting children but alsovarious communities. She says many arenot aware of the challenges and limitationsthat children born with FASD face.“Our children are the future and FASD
children require special care to help themreach their full potential.Whennot cared forproperly or given an opportunity, these chil-dren often grow up into adults who fall into
a life of alcoholism, drug abuse and home-lessness.“These factors then impact negatively on
society and while we can only take so manychildren, we know that we have made a dif-ference.”AtHomeofHope, each child gets a fighting
chance to be the best they can be. Cared forby caregivers and social workers, the chil-dren are given a structured lifestyle whichhelps them cope and progress.Brook explains each child is monitored
over the years and a plan is created to helpthem into becoming independent and re-sponsible adults.V If you would like to assist email [email protected] or visit www.homeofhope.co.za.

Table View police have raised concernsabout domestic violence in the pre-cinct.
This comes in the wake of a domestic re-lated incident on Friday where a 46-year-old man was shot.
According to a report, police were alertedto a shooting in Parklands just after 18:00.Police spokesperson Lieutenant AdrianaChandler explains the incident occurredabout two hours earlier at a home in ForestLane.
She explains it is alleged that the engagedcouple were arguing and the man went tofetch his firearm.
“While in a separate part of the house,the female heard a gunshot and ran to-wards her fiancé. The man then fired an-other shot and the female tried to take thegun away from her fiancé. During thestruggle a third gun shot was fired, fatallywounding the man.”
Chandler says the man was found to havea gunshot wound in his shoulder but saysat this stage it is unclear where the thirdshot wounded him.
Police have now opened an inquest dock-et.
In a second statement, police have issueda warning about domestic violence cases.During 2015, station commander ColonelDirk Vosloo continuously raised the alarmabout the high number of domestic vio-lence and assault cases, but despite infor-mation sessions, attendance remained low.
In a comparison between the statistics ofdomestic violence reported in the precinctover the same period last year, there is a70% decrease but police remain concerned.
Chandler explains in an analysis of thecases it was found that both men and wom-en came to report incidents of domestic vio-lence and alcohol was identified as one ofthe main contributing factors.
“Not all domestic violence or abuse hasa physical element. Verbal abuse, financialabuse and emotional abuse are also typesof abuse. One case of domestic violence istoo many. We need communities to standtogether with police and ensure that thistype of crime is eradicated. Do not abusealcohol, stick to the legal limit if driving,and if not driving, stick to your personallimit so that arguments with loved ones donot take place. These arguments will nor-mally lead to abuse of one form or another.”

The man’s friends, believed to be Germanresidents, found him unconscious and lyingface down in the water.
“They turned him over and drifted withhim,keepinghisheadabovewater, after find-ing that he was not breathing.”
He was airlifted to hospital in a stable butserious condition.

In a bid to reduce carbon emissions,the City of Cape Town is set to adver-tise a tender for a fleet of 12-metre
electric MyCiTi buses.According to a statement, approxi-
mately 38,5 million passenger journeyshave been recorded on the MyCiTi ser-vice to date, with 1 531 418 passengerjourneys for November 2015 alone.
“As we extend the footprint of the My-CiTi service across the city,we also havea responsibility to lower our carbonemissions and the impact of pollution onthe urban environment. Cities acrossthe world will soon reach a point wherealternative fuel for public transport be-comes a prerequisite, and as such theCityhas decided to expand its fleet of die-sel buses with electric ones.”
A tender for the procurement of a fleetof 12-metre electric buses is due to be ad-vertised by the first week of February.
The City is also considering electricdouble-decker buses for longer distancetrips as they have more seating.
The tender specifies that the electricbuses should be able to travel at least250km in traffic before the batteries needrecharging.
Apart from the buses, the successfulbidder must also provide the City withthe charging stations for the buses andthe necessary training for the bus driv-ers and mechanical engineers.
Researchers have made great advan-ces in the development of electric busesover thepast decade, someofwhichwerepresented at the African Union of PublicTransport workshop that was hosted byTransport for Cape Town in October lastyear.
The operational cost of electric busesis significantly lower – not only in termsof fuel, but also maintenance, as thereare fewer parts to maintain.
Electric buses are easier to drive, themotors generate less heat than tradition-al diesel engines, there is much lessnoise, and it is a smoother drive for pas-sengers and bus drivers alike.

In the high-techworld of themodernneona-tal ICU there is no substitute for breastmilk. When a vulnerable baby’s mother isunable to supply breast milk, donatedbreast milk can offer this life-saving giftfrom another mother.
Neonatologist Dr Alan Horn of GrooteSchuur Hospital believes that the practiceof milk banking is still in its infancy – glo-bally and especially in South Africa.
“I expect it will steadily increase in pro-file. Donating breast milk is an act that in-volves the least pain and the most gain,compared to any other human tissue or or-gan donation. It is potentially life-savingand is worth more than equipment or staff.The term milk “bank” is perfect – it simul-taneously describes the safety and value ofdonated milk.”
The need for donor milk is mainly whena mother is too ill to provide breast milk oris unable to physically be with or regularlyvisit her baby in hospital. Donor milk mayalso be needed for a short time in the caseofmultiple births such as triplets, when themother may initially not have enoughbreast milk for her babies.
Milk Matters, a registered non-profit or-ganisation, started providing donor breastmilk to the neonatal ICUs of Cape Town’sbiggest state hospitals in 2003.
To date 30 hospitals, in both the state andprivate sector, have received donor milk
fromMilkMatters and in addition the orga-nisation has helped five hospitals set uptheir own in-house milk banks. Most of thedonor milk goes to babies in governmenthospitals, where the need is greatest.
Since just 50ml of breast milk can feed ababy of less than a kilogram for 24 hours,mothers do not need to donate large quanti-ties to make a significant impact.
Milk Matters provides donors with ster-ile containers, which can be collected fromone of the 25 depots,where batches of frozenmilk is delivered. All milk is pasteurised.V For more information, visit www.milkmatters.org

What’s On | Wat’s Waar
LOUISA STEYL@lounotes
Twee plaaslike akteurs sal binnekort opdie silwerdoek te sien wees wanneerdie nuwe romantiese Afrikaanse film,
Vir Altyd, volgende maand by die flieks be-gin draai.
Dié avontuurfilm deur Ivan Botha enDonnalee Roberts, wat ook die hoofrollevertolk, is dié kreatiewe span se nuutse pro-jek ná die sukses van Pad na jou Hart.Vir Altyd neem kykers van die Paarl tot
inMauritius op ’nvisuele avontuurvan lief-de deur vele seisoene.
Die storie handel oor Nina en Hugo watas kinders beste vriende was.
Die paar het uitmekaar gedryf, maar byNina se troue stap Hugo terug in haar lewe– met interessante gevolge.
“Dit gaan oor die onwaarskynlike – datliefde ‘vir altyd’ is – en probeer om dit ’nwerklikheid te maak deur die storie te ver-tel van twee mense wat soveel struikelblok-ke voor hulle gehad het. Dit word op op ’nkleurvolle en komiese manier vertel,” sêAndré Jacobs van Kenridge.
Hy vertolk die rol van Johan Lombaard,Nina se pa, ’n gerekende dokter wat nie eint-lik met sy vrou oor die weg kom nie. Hoeweldit miskien nie baie vat vir Johan om system vir sy vrou dik te maak nie, vertel An-dré dat sy karakter deur die loop van diefilm ’n les leer en ’n beter mens word.
André het in 1980 sy televisie-debuut in’nMacbeth-produksie gemaaken skielikhetdie TV-deure vir hom oopgegaan. Sedert-dien was André al baie op die kassie en diesilwerdoek en was onder meer te sien inBrood vir my broer, Goodbye Bafana en dieAmerikaanse reeks Black Sails. Vir Altydse regisseur, Jaco Smit, het André self gena-der om deel van die film te wees. “Ek het
’n paar jaar gelede saam met Jaco op Vloek-steen gewerk en gedink hy is ’n goeie mensen sal ’n sterk regisseur word,” vertel An-dré.
“Dit was ’n lekker ervaring om met homte kon saamwerk.”
Geon Nel van Stellenberg het ook vir Jacotydens ’n vorige projek ontmoet. Hulle hetsaam aan Vallei van Sluiers gewerk, waarGeon sê hulle mekaar goed leer ken het,maar daarna het hulle nie regtig kontak ge-had tot Jaco vir Geon se agent gebel het omte hoor of hy vir Vir Altyd beskikbaar souwees nie.
Geon vertolk die rol van die lighartigeGert, die strooijonker by Nina se troue.“Gert is een van daai mense wat altyd ’ngrappie of ’n gesegde gereed het, hoewelmense hom nie altyd snaaks vind nie.” Ge-on is glad nie ’n vreemdeling as dit by grap-pies kom nie.
Hy’t tot drie Safta-toekennings gewen virsy werk as ’n poppekasspeler met die sati-riese aanlyn-reeks ZaNews (nou bekend asPuppet Nation). Tussendeur sy talle andertoekennings, was hy ook as beste akteur virsy rol in Balbesit aangewys.
Geon sê hy dink Suid-Afrikaners sal baieaanklank by Vir Altyd vind “omdat dit soeg Suid-Afrikaans is”.
“Die kykers sal hulself kan vereenselwigmet baie van die karakters en ook dit watmet hulle gebeur.”
André sê “movies is meestal bedoel ommense te vermaak en ook ’n bietjie te laatdink. Hierdie fliek doen alles en boonopgaan dit ook werk met kykers se gevoelens.”V Vir Altyd is van Vrydag 12 Februarie, net betydsvir Valentynsdag, by Ster-Kinekor te sien. Die filmse sterre sal op Saterdag 13 Februarie tussen 15:00en 20:00 Ster-Kinekor in CapeGate wees om aan-hangers te ontmoet. Hulle kuier ook op Sondag 14Februarie tussen 12:00 en 15:00 by Tygervallei.
André Jacobs, Donnalee Roberts en Deirdre Wolhuter is akteurs in Vir Altyd.

A motor vehicle, if drivenrecklessly, inconsiderately orunder the influence of alcoholor drugs, is a lethal weapon. Itcan take lives, both guilty andinnocent (victims), as borneout by our road traffic collisiondata. In most cases, road userswilfully disobey our adequateroad traffic laws. Offendersfound guilty of contraveningany of the aforementionedoffences seldom, if ever,receive suitable sentences.Government does not take
road deaths seriously – if theydid, the annual collision/deathrate on our roads should havedecreased ages ago. Govern-ment’s stale annual responsehas always been “zero toler-ance” and the full might of thelaw will take place. No, thecarnage continues!In my view, the following
needs to be implemented:1. Dedicated traffic courts in
all major centres: Staff (magis-trates/prosecutors) to receivespecific training with regardsto the road traffic act/regula-tions etc. Cases must bespeedily dealt with.2. Law enforcement: Traffic
officers must operate on a24-hour duty roster as SAPSdo. Currently law enforcementofficers have the latest andbest technology at theirdisposal, including vehicles,but most go off duty at22:00/23:00, except during roadblocks 24:00. Visibility onpatrol is vital.3. State laboratories for
testing blood samples: Everymajor centre must have such acentre. Private laboratories(with the necessary checks andbalances) can also be roped in.4. Sentencing drunk and
reckless drivers: First timeoffenders found guilty – sixmonth imprisonment withoutthe option of a fine. Harsh?Yes, but our road carnagerequires this.We, the citizens, demand
urgent action right now! The
Road carnage:action needed!
Municipal water tariffs in-creased on and from 1 January.I have just received my

Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoralcommittee member for utilityservices of the City of CapeTown, responds: The Cityhas approximately 650 000meters to read, and thiscannot all take place on oneday. Because of this, theCity calculates the dailyaverage between two meterreadings, determines thedaily average, and appor-tions the water consumptionacross the two billing peri-ods. In the case of thiscustomer, their daily averageconsumption for 10 days willbe calculated according tolevel 1 tariffs and the re-mainder (after 1 January)will be calculated accordingto level 2 tariffs.

Saving water:how wise areyou really?The message over the last few monthshas been clear – some parts of thecountry are facing a drought and damlevels are low; we need to save water!In Cape Town the City imposed strict
water restrictions, even going as far aspromising to fine households and busi-nesses that don’t save at least 20%. Thelatter has left a bitter taste in many ahousehold, especially those that havebeen living water wise before the waterrestrictions were imposed.If you’re already not opening a tap to
water your garden, recycling your bathwater into the flower beds, catching thefirst few drops of cold shower water in abucket to use for cleaning the disheslater and keeping the swimming pool justfull enough so the pump can run, thenwhat more can you do to save?Water wise or not, we don’t realise how
much water we use (and let go to waste)on a day-to-day basis.It’s only once you start counting the
litres to fill the sink, boil the kettle andflush the toilet, not to mention use inyour daily hygiene routine and fordrinking water, that reality sinks in andyou realise how much your householdconsumes – not saving as much as youthought you did.The fact is, water is a precious re-
source and if we don’t try to save more,we are in line to suffer more. So nexttime, before you open a tap, think ... andkeep living water wise even after therains have come and the water restric-tions have gone.

Niemand sal Ritchie Smith, die afrigter vanBellville in die WP se Premier-krieketliga,kan verkwalik as hy die afgelope naweekwou slange vang nie.Met Bellville op 153/5 gerieflik op pad na
’n wenteiken van 175 teen Rondebosch, isdie laaste vyf kolwers egter vir net sewe by-komende lopies uitgehaal. Dit wat gelyk hetna ’n maklike oorwinning vir Bellville, hettoe op ’n nederlaag van 14 lopies uitgeloop.Chris Russell (4/23) en sy medeboulers
het Rondebosch tot 143 lopies in die tweedekolfbeurt beperk, waarna ’n vyfdepaaltjie-
vennootskap van 98 lopies deur Uwe Bir-kenstock (70*) en Handré Theron (41) Bell-ville binne sig van ’n oorwinning gebringhet. Maar helaas ...In Durbanville se wegholsege met ’n
beurt en 126 lopies oor St. Augustine (79 en49) het Brandon Viret (5/11 vir ’n wedstryd-ontleding van 8/40) enNathan Swartz (3/26)Saterdag gou-gou die afrondingswerk ge-doen. Milnerton (147, ná ’n eerstebeurt-voorsprong van 21 lopies) het Tygerberg-klub (154) met 14 lopies geklop met behulpvan veral puik spel deur Dean van Blerk(46), Zarrin Hardenberg (37 en 3/24) enMal-colm Cloete (3/36).
