Aboldnewplan to tackle crimeandgrime inMarconiBeam and Montague Gardens has been tabled.Property and business owners met yesterday to
make a bold step to improve business conditions by pro-posing a Special Ratings Area (SRA).
With scant resources and escalating crime and groupof property owners have come together to present theirideas to tackle ongoing issues in the two areas.
Speaking to theTygerBurger ahead of the meeting, Jon-ty de la Porte , chairperson of the steering committee ex-plained four years ago an armed robbery at the CheeseFactory Shop sparked an outcry when the owned waskilled and his daughter injured in the shooting.
“A public meeting was hosted with various stakehold-ers at the police station and from that it was decided toform a Montague Gardens Business Forum to facilitatecommunication between the police, property owners andbusinesses.”
He says an initiative to get businesses to assist withsecurity as volunteers failed because unlike neighbour-hood watches which operate ion residential areas, volun-teers do not live in Montague Gardens making it difficult.
De la Porte says property owners realised a better sys-tem was needed and two years ago started investigatingthe establishment of a SRA.
According to the City of Cape Town, a SRA refers toa clearly defined geographical area, in which propertyowners contribute additional rates to fund “top up” servi-ces for that specific area as per the approved businessplan. The committee sought help from Derek Bock, chiefoperations officer of the Voortrekker Corridor Improve-ment District.
Currently, De la Porte says the business and industrialhub is hit hard by property-related crime issues, vagran-cy, illegal dumping and vandalism.
In one of the serious incidents, TygerBurger publishedan online report after a woman was shot in the face ata business in Stella Road during a robbery in December.
“With all of this there has been an outcry and initiallyit was about getting authorities to do something. This haschanged as owners have become very aware of the lackof resources. The steering committee was established inlate 2014 and the meeting on Tuesday will be the first pub-lic consultation.”

The proposal calls for an SRA to cover ap-proximately 1500 properties of which theowners will be charged extra rates.De la Porte says the extra money will be
channelled into improving security, cleanli-ness and social issues. He says the addition-al funding which will be managed by a Cen-tral Improvement District (CID) will see theemployment of a manager who will managesecurity and cleaning teams to help improvethe business hub.“We are looking at the installation of 40
CCTV cameras, licence plate recognition(LPR) cameras and two dedicated patrol ve-hicles. In addition we will have cleaningteams to address the illegal dumping and tocombat the urban decay and in addition a so-cial team to help with issues like vagrancy.”He says industrial areas like Blackheath
and Parow have made a significant impactand as they continue to improve, MontagueGardens andMarconi Beamcould soon startto see businesses vacate. He says with thedevelopment of a brand new industrial areaknown as Rivergate near Parklands, Monta-gue Garden is feeling the pressure.According to information provided by the
City, SRAs are governed by Section 22 of theMunicipal Property Rates Act (MPRA), theMunicipal Finance Management Act(MFMA), the Companies Act (Non ProfitCompany – NPC), the SA Constitution andthe City of Cape Town’s Special Rating AreaBy-law of 2012.With the associated costs of an SRA, prop-
erty owners are billed an additional tariffbased on the value of their property accord-ing to the most recent municipal evalua-
tions. This is measured in millions.The tariff estimate for the Montague Gar-
dens,Marconi BeamSRA is R92. Thismeansif your property is valued at R1m, you willbe required to pay an additional tariff of R92each month. This amount increases by R92for every R1m in property value.Yesterday’s meeting was the first public
engagement to gauge the response of busi-ness and property owners. Itwill be followedby a lengthy public participation processwhere property owners will be required tovote. In order to get it approved by the mu-nicipality, the steering committee will needto obtain 51% yes votes.De la Porte says they are hoping to make
their full submission to the City by Septem-ber 2016 to ensure the SRA is functioning byJuly 2017.

Brooklyn can do better. This was thesentiment expressed by members ofthe Brooklyn, Ysterplaat Neighbour-
hood Watch (BYNHW) at a recent meeting.Addressing concerns raised by residents,
chairperson Cheryl Castle made a clarioncall for participation in various efforts tomake Brooklyn a clean, safer community.Among some of the main issues affecting
the watch are police boundaries as the areais split between theMaitland andMilnertonpolice precincts. Due to restrictions, thewatch is currently only able to legally patrolup to Justin Street which forms part of theMaitland police precinct.Speaking at the meeting, residents living
in the “Milnerton precinct” complainedabout illegal dumping, drug dealing and thelack of safety. BYNHW spokesperson JustinKumlehn explained the problem was fur-ther exacerbated as the two stations are alsoin two different police clusters.“There are residents on the other side of
Justin Street who are trying to set up aneighbourhoodwatch but the issues aroundboundaries is a complex one and we havebeen trying to address it for some time. Resi-dents living in the Milnerton precinct whowould like to help with the establishment ofa neighbourhood watch can obtain the con-tact details from us. There are issues withBrooklyn being split and the problem getsworse because the two stations fall undertwo different clusters,” he said.In response, a resident said the difference
in the overall condition of the two parts ofBrooklyn was clearly visible.Castle explained in addition to keeping
watch over the streets of Brooklyn, thewatch has embarked on a campaign to en-courage residents to continually report is-sues to authorities.“TheMaitland area is significantly small-
er than theMilnertonpoliceprecinct but thebiggest problem is that Brooklyn residentsare not reporting crime. The police and CPF
look at this and it is used as a guide. We allknowwhat the crime is like inBrooklyn, butpeople are not reporting it and this affectshow resources are allocated.”Castle further explained bymaking use of
the City of Cape Town’s C3 logging system,the watch actively participates in the im-provement ofBrooklyn.While out onpatrol,watch members keep a close eye on gangtags in play parks, illegal dumping andblocked drains and report it immediately.“It’s all about the broken window theory.
The Brooklyn, Ysterplaat Neighbourhood Watch (BYNHW) has made a call for residents to reportall illegal activity and municipal issues such as dumping. Here bags of household waste could beseen dumped in Koala Street over the weekend. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL
A while ago we had gang tags in parks andwe kept reporting it and you will see theyhave been painted over.“It goes above and beyond just safety but
it is about showing the people who do thesethings that we care about the condition ofour community and we will report mattersuntil the authorities do something,” shesaid.V If you would like more information about theBYNHW, call 081 732 7223 or email [email protected]

Leisurely walks along the beach atsunset took a nasty turn last weekfollowing reports about sporadic
robberies.OnWednesday 10 February, a resident
shared his experience on various Face-book pages and warned residents to bevigilant. He explained that, along withhis girlfriend, he was held up by knifepoint between Big Bay and Eerstesteen.He said they were approached by threemen and cellphones and cash were tak-en. The man, his partner and their dogswere unharmed during the incident.The man’s post sparked concern with
many residents claiming to feel unsafeon the beach and warnings being issuedby various organisations.In a post on the Ward 23 Facebook
page, councillor Nora Grose said whileit was not an everyday occurrence, sheappealed to all residents and tourists tobe vigilant when visiting the beach atany time of the day or evening.
Attacked having picnic“Should you feel unsafe please call one
of the neighbourhood watches in the ar-ea or the police. If you notice strangershanging around please stay alert andrather leave the area and report the inci-dent to your nearest police station.”Police spokesperson Warrant Officer
Daphne O’Reilly confirms the case wasreported and says according to the dock-et the complainant and her partnerwerehaving a picnic on the beach when theywere accosted by three suspects armedwith knives.She says themen fled the scene on foot
and to date no arrests have been made.Responding to questions about beach
robberies in recent weeks, she explainsthere have been other cases where vic-tims have reported being robbed alongthe stretch of beach betweenMarine Cir-cle and Big Bay.
“There are not specific days of theweekorweekend that these robberies oc-cur and these incidents take place spo-radically throughout the week. Theyusually occur late in the afternoon orearly evenings before 22:00.”No arrests have been made for this in-
cident andO’Reilly sayswhile investiga-tions are underway, no suspects havebeen identified.Table View Community Police Forum
(CPF) chairperson David Harris sayswhile they are concerned the best wayto counter negative elements in publicspaces is tomakeuse of itmore frequent-ly.
Many things can be done“Therearemany thingswecando, like
walking in groups, being more vigilantand avoiding deserted areas. But we canalso get out and enjoy the beaches. Sun-set walks are very popular and weshould getmorepeople out there to enjoythis. Criminals are less likely to ap-proach large groups of people,” he says.On Valentine’s Day several couples
and young families could be seen alongthe beach.O’Reilly advises residents to avoid
carrying large amounts of cash, to walkin groups, and avoid secluded areas onthe beach.“When you are confronted by sus-
pects, do exactly as you are told. The rob-bers are in control of the situation be-cause they are armed, and it serves nopurpose to resist them – you will only beputting your life at risk. Don’t shout ordo anything until the robbers have leftthe area. Many crime scenes haveturned violent as the robbers leave, re-sulting in deaths or injuries to innocentpeople.”She says police are concerned about
the amount of robberies and urge resi-dents to report all criminal incidents soofficers can establish a crime patternanalysis and corrective action can betaken.

Vaccinate your daughter to protect her fu-ture.This is the message from the provincial
health department, reminding all parentsand guardians of girls in Grade 4 who arenine years old, to sign the consent form thatyouwill receive from the school, a spokesper-son from the department said in a statementto the media last week.The consent form will enable girls to be
vaccinated against the HPV virus that cancause cervical cancer in later life.“The vaccination will only be adminis-
tered to those girls who have signed consentforms, are already nine years old and that at-tend a government or special needs school.”The health teamwill visit schools between
16 February and 11 March to vaccinate.V Visit www.westerncape.gov.za/assets/departments/health/2016_hpv_faq_english.docx for more.

Some years ago when a group of Rugby7s supporters travelled to Port Eliza-beth for the SA Rugby 7s tournament,
they decided to introduce a fine system forvarious “infringements”.On their return, they decided to donate
themoney to adeserving charity. The chari-ty chosen at the time was the Sea RescueStation in Melkbosstrand, NSRI Station 18.The group of friends, who often meet at
the popular Doodles Restaurant on TableView beachfront, used to gather around asmall round table on the balcony. Later theydecided to bring the table inside, but thisdid not sit well with the bar staff and muchto their dismay, one day the table disap-peared.The group felt aggrieved and made this
known to management at the time.A short while later, the table suddenly re-
appeared and the group, now the “Knightsof theMissingTable”,were able tomeet and
plan their next rugby tour.On Sunday 7 February, the Knights of the
Missing Table handed over a cheque forR13 000 to Rhine Barnes, station command-er for NSRI Melkbosstrand.“With the unprecedented hot weather we
have experienced, many more people spenttime at the Melkbosstrand beach.“Thewind has alsomade ideal conditions
for kiteboarding and kiteboarders made upa large part of the calls received,” said Bar-nes.“The NSRI does not charge for its service
and is reliant on donations and fund-rais-ing. This money will be used to cover someof the many needs of our busy rescuestation.”James Digby Grant, “CEO” and founding
member of the “Knights of the Missing Ta-ble”, said they could thinkof nobetter causethan the NSRI and in particular, the Melk-bosstrand Rescue Station.

Police search for crowbar thievesMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Acombined effort by Table View, Good-wood and Elsies River police stationsled to the arrest of two men following
a string of break-ins in Table View.Thieves went on a rampage in the Table
View precinct last week with several resi-dents claiming crowbars were used to gainentry to their homes.According to a trusted source there were
nine front-door entries on Wednesday 10February. “Table View was hit hard yesterday. It ap-
peared to be well orchestrated.” Social me-dia also buzzed with residents’ reports oflarge appliances being stolen.
Police spokesperson Warrant OfficerDaphne O’Reilly says homes in Parklands,Sunningdale and along the beachfront weremostly affected.O’Reilly could not confirm the amount of
cases reported onWednesday but says in allcases reported the front doors or slidingdoors of premises were forced open and insome cases crowbars were used.Later that day at about 22:00 police and a
security company were involved in a high-speed car chase which resulted in a policevehicle rammed and officers injured.O’Reilly explains the drama unfolded
whenanalarmof ahome inFernwoodClose,Parklands, was triggered.“Complex Patrols and police responded
and found four men in a white Volkswagen
Polo. The men sped away and a chase en-sued.“On the corner of Plattekloof and Koeberg
roads, the police vehicle tried to block thePolo but the men rammed the police vehiclepushing it into the robot. The two officershad minor injuries.”Complex Patrols continued to chase the
thieves and this resulted in another crash onthe corner of Dingle and Alice roads.“Complex Patrols were out of action, but
during the chase officers were communicat-ing with Goodwood police and these officerschased the suspects further. The suspectsskipped a red robot and collided with anoth-er vehicle near Voortrekker Road.”The men left the vehicle and started run-
ning in various directions. Goodwood offi-
cers managed to arrest one of the men inRuyterwacht and during a search of the carfound a crowbar and a “big hammer”. Offi-cers also recovered bank cardswhichbelongto the owner of the Parklands home.Later that evening during a vehicle check
point (VCP) held by Elsies River police, offi-cers found aman in possession of householdgoods reported stolen from the Parklandshome.“He was arrested for being in possession
of suspected stolen goods. Both suspects ar-rested by Goodwood and Elsies River policehave been linked to the Table View case. Atthis stage they are being processed by thosestations and Table View policewill continueto investigate to see whether they can belinked to the other break-ins.’’

sist and approximately an hour later policereceived a complaint of a suspicious personon the roof of one of the houses. “They founda man who indicated he was chased by some-one and was hiding.

2015-ALGEMENEWAARDASIELYS VIR DIE STAD KAAPSTAD
Modern urban management reaps rewardsCentury City has equipped itself with a
comprehensive urban managementsystem forprompt service deliveryand
the real-time electronic logging of all kindsof activities and incidents in the area.
These activities and incidents range fromcrime, crime prevention, municipal servi-ces, medical emergencies, traffic and car ac-cidents, management of estate develop-ments and facilities management. Thispaves the way for urban service conceptssuch as a “connected or smart city”.
The system, known as Incident Desk, isaimed at improving urban management inSouth Africa and is currently being rolledout country-wide. More than 170 000 activi-ties and incidents have already been loggedon the system in just 18 months, making itthe largest private urban management sys-tem in South Africa.
Tiaan Janse van Rensburg, director of So-lution House Software which developed In-cident Desk, says Century City provides anexcellent example where effective connec-tivity in real-time can help with service de-livery. “This not only in creating a safe andsecure environment, but also all activitiesthat take place in an urban precinct.”
Indications are that incidents of crime atCentury City are significantly lower than inthe rest of the Western Cape.
The system further indicates that 50% ofall incidents inCenturyCity are traffic relat-ed. About 7% of all incidents are vehicle ac-cidents,while 22%of all incidents arewheel-clamping related. During the 11 months toJanuary there were 51 LPR hits (licenseplate recognitions), with most traffic in-fringements occurring on Thursdays, Fri-days and Mondays.
“The prevalence of municipal service andmaintenance requests and crime reports arevery similar, each making up about 12% ofall logged incidents. Interestingly, most peo-ple needed medical assistance on Wednes-days during the nine months to October lastyear, but this shifted almost exclusively toTuesdays in December of the same year.
“The 2015 festive season at Century Cityprovided a good test period for the system.It came out tops in delivering real-time in-formation on incidents that needed promptaction,” Janse van Rensburg said.
MarinusBoshoff, safety and securityman-ager for the Century City Property Owners’Association, says a comprehensive festiveseason security plan was in place during De-cember 2015. Having real-time informationavailable regarding the various incidents,enabled a quicker response time.
Incident Desk assisted Century City in de-ploying their festive season safety and secu-rity plan. Incidents over the festive periodwere kept in check, with the number of re-ported occurrences in December being simi-lar to that of November. The only significantincreases were water related and medicalemergencies.
Gordon Ralph, facilities manager of theCenturyCityPropertyOwners’Association,says that Century City is now 20 years oldand continuously expanding,which necessi-tates the need for ongoing infrastructuremaintenance and effective systems andprocesses to manage these needs.
“Recording of infrastructure mainte-nance issues with up to date informationand in real-time is of major importance.There is also the issue of the accountabilityof the maintenance staff,” Ralph said.

Dunoon residents now have access to mu-nicipal services with just one phone call.
This follows the introduction of aFreeCall line at the community hall lastweek. The hall buzzed with excitement dur-ing a visit by ward councillor LubabaloMakeleni and Mayco member for corporateservices andcompliance,XantheaLimberg.
According to a City statement, FreeCalllines allow residents to call on the City forhelp and are conveniently located withineasy reach of communities in municipalbuildings, housing offices, cash offices, li-braries, clinics, and in community facilitiesthroughout the city.
Limberg explains while many residentshave access to cellphones, they do have aknack of running out of airtime or havinga flat battery.
“The high cost of cellphone calls oftenmakes it difficult for residents to reach outto the City for services. This free servicecan be seen as a lifeline that makes the Citymore accessible to communities. FreeCalllines canbeused to contact theCity for vari-ous enquiries and service requests relatingto, for example, account enquiries, refusecollection, illegal dumping, water leaks,sewer blockages, street lights that are notworking, potholes and damaged roads.”
When a resident uses the FreeCall line,the phone automatically connects to theCity’s call centre as the caller lifts the re-ceiver. A call centre agent answers thephone in the language of the caller’s choice,logs the service request, and gives the callera reference number.
“By reporting faults, complaints, vandal-ismand theft of City property, residents canplay their part in helping us build a well-run city, together. The City is aware of thelimited landline availability and the highcosts of cellphone calls. This led the corpo-rate services directorate to install FreeCalllines in public amenities which residentscan use to contact the City.”
The pilot phase of this project waslaunched in July 2009.

Die Stad Kaapstad het ingegryp deur kennisgewings vir die hernuwing van motorlisensie-skyfies uit te reik.
Voertuigeienaars sal voortaan hernuwingskennisgewings van die Stad ontvang, en nie soosin die verlede van nasionale agentskappe nie.
Dit sal verligting bring vir die ongerief van die afgelope paar maande wat veroorsaak is deurdie versuim van nasionale regeringsagentskappe om hul verantwoordelikhede na te kom,en wat daartoe gelei het dat die uitreiking van hernuwingskennisgewings opgeskort is.
Die nasionale departement van vervoer kon nie daarin slaag om die oorskakelingvan die elektroniese nasionale verkeersinligtingstelsel (eNaTIS) na diepadverkeersbestuursagentskap (RTMC) af te handel nie. Gevolglik stuur hulle niehernuwingskennisgewings uit nie en is hulle ook nie in staat om meer eNaTIS-dienspunteaan die Stad te voorsien om ons in staat te stel om die diens by ons munisipale kantore uit tebrei nie.
Ander ingrypings deur die Stad sluit die volgende in:• kliënte word, waar moontlik, voor die amptelike oopmaaktyd van ons kantore om08:00 gehelp
• kantore bly oop tot die laaste persoon in die ry gehelp is• personeel word oortyd aangewend om meer kliënte te kan help• personeel word by besige kantore in die metro herontplooi
Kliënte word aangemoedig om aanlyn aansoek om hul voertuiglisensies te doen deurwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices te besoek.
Regulasies van die nasionale regering bepaal tans dat bewys van verblyf getoon moetword wanneer om ’n lisensiehernuwing aansoek gedoen word. Bring dus asseblief jouidentiteitsdokument en bewys van verblyf en, indien moontlik, afskrifte daarvan saamaangesien dit die tyd wat jy by munisipale sentrums hoef te wag, sal verkort.
Vir ’n volledige lys van dokumente wat as bewys aanvaar word, kan inwoners die webwerfvan die Wes-Kaapse regering besoek: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw.
Inwoners se geduld en ondersteuning word waardeer.

The new 125-room Century City Hotel of-ficially opened its doors last week.
Built at a cost of R200m and locatedadjacent to the new Century City ConferenceCentre, the Century City Hotel will cater forboth business and leisure markets andbrings to 600 the number of rooms now avail-able in Century City.
Greg Deans, a director of the Rabie Proper-ty Group, says the development was a re-sponse to the growing demand for hotel ac-commodation at Century City.
The general manager of the new hotel,Walda Meyer, says it has been designed tobe out of the ordinary with a great emphasishaving been placed on room efficiencies forboth business and leisure travellers.
“The only thing traditional about it is thelaundry shoot.”
Among its iconic features is a green wallwith more than 3500 living plants forminga backdrop to the reception area.
Paolo Viotti of Vivid Architects says everycity should have at least one public squarethat offers a dynamic, vibrant and safe envi-ronment for the public to enjoy.
“Century City Hotel is one of three build-ings that now form the new Century CitySquare, a beautifully proportioned spacethat will offer users the opportunity to so-cialise, relax, dine and be entertained. Thehotel experience within this environment isfurther enhanced by the introduction of theextended canal system of Century City andthe bold landscaping themes that frame thisdevelopment.”
He says the urban design and planning ofthis precinct has ensured and encouragedpedestrian connectivity and hierarchy ofthat over the motor vehicle, a comfortableand safe human environment and a seam-less interface between building and square.
“The hotel architecture has employed themaximum use of glass at the ground floor
plane to ensure trans-parency between insideand out while the devel-oper’s brief has ensuredthat restaurants, coffeeshops and hotel publicareas spill out onto thesquare to ensure there isa constant buzz of activi-ty, life and energy.”
Meyer says the multi-purpose Square Café andwine bar on the groundfloor of the hotel havebeen designed to be partof the public square on towhich they flow and towelcome not only hotelresidents but also non-residents.

Hoesit bru –how about akoesister?From koesisters to the Kaapse Klopse –the Mother City is home to its ownunique culture.To us, it’s simply home or our way of
life, but I’m very quickly learning that tooutsiders, it’s a foreign world, full ofexotic flavours.I was fortunate enough to see David
Kramer’s new musical, District Six –Kanala, exactly 50 years since “thedistrict” was declared a white group area.The buildings may have been demol-
ished, but thanks to many artists likeKramer and his long time writingpartner, the late Taliep Petersen – andthe many artists they brought to thespotlight – the memory of the area’s richcultural heritage is kept alive.While I was too young to see District
Six: The Musical, this new celebration ofDistrict Six’s smorgasbord of performanceofferings once again reminded me of howculturally significant the area was, and
still is.From the stories
I hear, what madeDistrict Six – andCape Town ingeneral – sospecial, was itsdiversity. TheDistrict was oneof the last placeswhere people ofmany different
cultures, nationalities and races livedtogether.The result was everyone’s cultures
blending into one – like the UnitedStates’ New Orleans – creating a veryspecial melting pot here at the foot ofTable Mountain.To understand just how unique our
world is, one merely has to talk to peoplefrom outside the Western Cape.From the difference between koeksister
and a koesister to gatsbys from GoldenDish, pickled fish at Easter and boeber,our food often leaves folks from up Northscratching their heads.It may be an acquired taste, but those
who didn’t grow up with proper Malaycurries will never know the joy oftingling gums and a mouthful of flavour.Then, of course, there’s our language
with all its weird and wonderful slangthat has developed over the years.Whether you’re saying “Hoesit bru?” or“Awe” – we all understand each other.And therein lies the beauty of this
beautiful City – we may be a town ofvery different extremes, we may comefrom different backgrounds, differentsocio-economic environments and differ-ent cultures, but at the end of the day,we all call ourselves Capetonian.

What’s On | Wat’s Waar
LOUISA STEYL@lounotes
She hasn’t even started yet, and her mu-sic has already made its way to NewYork.
MelkbosmusicianLesleyDicxonwill be of-ficially launching her career with a mediapresentation tomorrow (Thursday), but she’salready promoting her debut single interna-tionally.“Dream”, which was released in Decem-
ber, was mixed andmastered by The CuttingRoom Studios in New York, America, alongwith four other tracks – for her an indicationthat she’s on the right track.Lesley was just six when she made up her
mind that shewanted to become a performer.She had seen a video of Michael Jackson per-forming “Billy Jean” and was sold.What followed was a school career filled
with cultural activities – from poetry anddancing to drama and singing – but shecouldn’t get enough and soon joined a musicacademy as well.After matriculating she was off to study
sound engineering at Cape Audio College to
learnmore about studios and what she want-ed from the music industry.While studying she used her time to net-
work and learn the ins and outs of the localscene, but soon after graduating she gotcracking on the production of her future EP.Her biggest focus in the beginning was
song writing until she went into studio withfamily friendBenedict deMaar. “I could onlyget into studios at night,” she says, addingthat it was often just the two of themworkingon the tracks.The driving force behind Lesley’s decision
to take onmusic full timewas her father, andher face lights up as she recalls: “My sisterresigned from work and all he said to herwas: ‘Don’t work for someone else; makeyour own business,’ because that’s what hebelieves in.”Lesley describes “Dream” as a combina-
tion of rap, pop and reggaewith inspirationallyrics. Her second single, due to be releasedtomorrow, is a full-on reggae song.The song is for familymemberswhoget left
at homewhen someone in the family goes outdrinking.Lesley takes her song writing inspirationfrom everyday life: things she’s experi-enced or seen.“’My [first] single is just about my
dreams and insecurities.” It also turnedout to act as an assertive introduction.“This year is the year for me.”Taking her songs to Cutting Room Stu-
dios was a way for Lesley to test herselfand see if her music was good enough tobe accepted. “The moment I heard thatthey didn’t put auto tune on my voice, Iknew I could probably sing.”Now,with the added approval, her next
step is getting her name “out there”.Her music is available on iTunes and
Amazon and she plans to perform asmuch as possible after tomorrow’slaunch.In the meantime, listeners can keep an
eye on Lesley’s Facebook, Twitter and In-stagram accounts or listen to her inter-view at 14:20 on Hashtag Radio (hashta-gradio.co.za) on Thursday to stay up todate with what she’s been busy with.V For more information about Lesley, and to heara snippet of “Dream”, visit her website at lesley-dicxon.com.
Lesley Dicxon is one step closer to fulfilling herdreams.

Group wants ‘accountability’LOUISA STEYL
@lounotes
Agroup of concerned citizens fromacrossCapeTowncame together in theCBD on Thursday under the auspices
of #ZumaMustFall (ZMF) to call for the res-ignation of President Jacob Zuma.While a number of marches took place
around the CBD on Thursday to coincidewith the State of the Nation Address (Sona),#ZumaMustFall was not affiliated to any po-litical organisation and called instead for ac-countability and for the South African con-stitution to be upheld.“We expect everyone to be equal in the
eyes of the law, including thepresident,” oneof the march organisers, Christelle Schee-pers, said at the march.The #ZumaMustFall march came two
months after the Unite Against Corruption#CorruptionMustFall march held in theCompany Gardens on 16 December – in re-sponse to Zuma firing finance ministerNhlanhla Nene, sending the rand into rapiddecline.Monika Vermeulen, another march orga-
niser who helped spread the word about thefirst one, says her own frustrations stemfrom her community work, particularly
with the emergency services, where a lackof infrastructure, resources and manpowerare preventing these services from servingtheir communities effectively.“We cannot keep quiet about it – at the
very least we have to say it’s wrong.”As many other people from around South
Africa, Vermeulen “put her hand up” and of-fered to help the cause.Soon, these people pooled their varied
skills to start mobilising ordinary citizens.“The cause just found us.”While theyknewThursday’smarchwould
not be as well attended as the previous one,Vermeulen says they couldn’t afford not tohave a presence in the City during Sona pro-ceedings.Holdingaweekdayafternoonmarch in the
CBD would make it very difficult for manypeople to get off work and join, but she says:“Weknow that themarcherswhowere theremade an effort [to be there].”Vermeulen says therewas a lot of nervous-
ness surrounding the march due to false in-formation regarding times andvenues beingdistributed on social media and Cape Townwas the only city to march, while #Zuma-MustFall protesters in other major townsheld picket demonstrations.The movement has received criticism for
being “too white”, but Vermeulen is quickto point out: “This affects everybody,” refer-ring to the consequences of corruption ingovernment. While she acknowledges thatthe march wasn’t as well represented as or-ganisers would have hoped, she points outthat cost of travel and geographical con-straints made it difficult for everyone sup-porting the cause to participate.Although already a registered organisa-
tion, the #ZumaMustFall movement isworking on building partnerships with oth-er non-profit organisations until they havea registered NPO to run the ZumaMustFallcampagin under.In themeantime they are alreadyworking
on their next march, where they will be ableto build on the lessons they learned onThursday. Anyone interested in helping themovement can visit zumamustfall.org, al-though Vermeulen warns that volunteeringrequires hard work.“Getting [your] hands dirty means a lot to
us at this point. We are very proud of whatwe achieved considering we had nothing.”
One Table View resident channelled the Anonymous movement for the day.
Table View’s Heather Brooks was the youngestprotester.Intersections were closed as protesters moved through the city.

Champ returns for Power Series
Former V8 Masters champion Marcel Angel (1) is going to be in action in an even more powerful V8 racer on Saturday. PHOTO: DAVE COLINS
ADRIAN PHEIFFER
With the first round of the Power Se-ries this coming Saturday, set tolaunch another season of red hot
racing at Killarney, interest in the changesto the driver, rider and mechanical combi-nationshasalreadybecome the subject of ex-cited braai-fire conjecture.An interesting feature of the Bold Marine
GTi Challenge is that Table View’s reigningdouble champion Paul Simon is away onbusiness and will miss his opening pointscoring opportunity. This should allow driv-ers like Marco Busi, a promising class Ayoungster from Melkbosstrand, as well asZaki Hendricks who finished second overalland first in class B last year, to notch up ahead start in the title chase.Changes in the popularMastersV8 catego-
ry will see the drivers racing under newrules that restrict thenumberof racing tyresthey are now allowed to fit during the sea-son.However, they are going to be permittedthe use of more engine power than they en-joyed in thepast.This shouldmake their rac-ing faster and even more exciting.And although reigning champion Richard
Schreuder will be everyone’s target here, itshould be borne in mind that multipleformer titleholderMarcel Angel beat him inthe penultimate, as well as the last events inthe recently completed 2015 season.Then there’s that brilliant British driver
Steven Young who has to fly out from Lon-don to compete in Masters V8 events at Kil-larney. And although he only began almosthalfway through the previous champion-ship, he was still able to come from behindand finish an excellent sixth. Young’s inter-national experience on some of the best cir-cuits in Britain and Europe is going to be adecided advantage on Saturday.The three new drivers in this category are
certain to find that the huge amount of pow-er available at the backwheelswill take timeto get used to. This could result in a separatebattle at the rear of the field where specta-tors will be able to spot any emerging talent.There was an intriguing situation in the

Western Province proved yet againthat golf is played on grass, not pa-per, as the four bankers and 17-
year-old rookie Ignation Douries sealed ahat-trick of victories in the South AfricanDisabled Golf Association’s Hollard Provin-cial Challenge, hosted by ReichmansCapi-tal, at Zwartkop Country Club on Sunday.
Over 36 holes of rousing shot-making andspirited competition, Western Province ral-lied to triumph on 11.5 points, defeating de-fending champions Rest of Country (ROC)by two points, while Gauteng finished aclose third on nine points.
There were lots of doubting Thomaseswho didn’t believe that Douries would keeppace with deaf player Ryan Lotz and the ex-perienced leg-amputees Morne Cronje, Ri-aan Spreeth and Trevor Reich.
Douries collected two points for WesternProvince in the first round and surprisedwith unexpected determination and grit atthe closing hole in the final round.
Standing on the 18th tee, Douries was onedown to Virgil Foster from Gauteng and allsquare with Nico Wentzel from ROC afterthe former Nedbank SA Disabled Openchampion won the 17th hole.
“It was very, very tight at the end, butDouries handled the pressure like a realpro,” said proud Province skipper PieterVerwey. “We had 10 points in hand, butROC was on 9.5 points and Gauteng had 8.5points. Douries had to halve against Fosterand beat Wentzel to win the ProvincialChallenge for us. It was touch and go, butIgnation was like a little terrier that justwouldn’t let go.
“Experience is always great, but there isa huge case to be made for youthful exuber-ance, because Douries really did himself aswell as Western Province and the SADGAdevelopment initiative – the First SwingProgramme – very proud.”
Douries and Lotz both collected threepoints for Province, Spreeth amassed twopoints and Cronje won the Most ValuablePlayer honour for the champions with 3.5points.
“Reich didn’t contribute any points thisyear, but the team awarded him a gold starfor inspiring everyone else to greatness,”said Verwey.
“Of course that means he pays for all thecelebratory drinks and all the Fanta Dou-ries wants.”
