He is done with gangsterism, drugs andmurder and desperately seeks forgi-veness for his part in the destruction
of communities across the Cape Flats.This was the plea by former Hard Livings
gang leader and ex-prisoner Rashied Staggieat a church service at the New DirectionsGrace Church in Parow on Sunday.Staggie admitted to a fully packed audito-
rium that he was, to a large extent, guilty of
the influx of drugs into theCape and claimedresponsibility for a number of ordereddeaths during his tenure as leader of theHard Livings.“Many decisions from myself as leader –
it’s because ofme thatmany peoplewere kil-led,” he said.“It was because of my decisions that so
much hurt came over people and into theirhomes. I am also the cause of so many drugsbeing pumped into the Cape.”Staggie showed a soft side when he direc-
tly apologised to his own family and the fa-
mily of his slain twin brother, Rashaad.Rashaadwas set alight and killed bymem-
bers of the vigilante group Pagad in front ofhis Salt River home in 1996.“I am just aman. Aman that desires atten-

Staggie’s testimony was part of a celebrato-ry programme by the church to honour agroup of graduates, all reformed prisoners,gangsters, murderers, drug addicts and cri-minals.The group all underwent a programme
run by Ivan Waldeck of the Western CapeOutreach Community organisation.Waldeck is well-known in church circles
on the Cape Flats for his work with formerprisoners and is a former gangster and pris-oner himself.Waldeck said this was the first time in 10
years Staggie spoke publicly.Sebastian Petersen, deputy director of the
correctional services department, said pro-
grammes such as that run by Waldeck ma-de his job easier.Petersen also declared that the depart-
ment would be signing a memorandum ofunderstanding with the church, citing that“any programmes done with inmateswould be done through this church”.“We will get teams (from the Grace
church) into prisons and working with in-mates,” Petersen said.

Matrics at Cravenby SecondarySchool have raised their voicesagainst bullying.Last week they took to the
streets surrounding their schoolto host a demonstration and thenpresented a programme at theschool last Wednesday.Life Orientation teacher Es-
maralda Abrahams explainedthat this was the second annualawareness campaign by the LifeOrientation learners in Grade 12and it was a huge success.“They pulled off this event
with commitment, dedication tothe course, enthusiasm and withcompetency,” she said.“This year the theme focused
on creating awareness againstbullying. Bullying is a concern atmany schools, and the Grade 12’s
vowed to put an end to it at Cra-venby.“They did extensive research
on the topic, drew up an anti-bul-lying policy, which they hopewill be implemented as soon aspossible, to make their project aworthwhile and sustainable one.“They are the first matrics to
focus on an anti-bullying policy,and hope to leave a legacy thatwill be continued in the future bytheRCL, prefect body and all oth-er school societies.”She also pointed out that this
programme was a unifying forceamong the matrics, especiallywhen they took to the streets toshow the community how theyfelt about the issue.“This gave them the feeling of
ubuntu, making them under-stand what it truly means to bea responsible citizen in a demo-cratic SA.”
Matrics say ‘no’ to bullying
The flu strains in circulation in South Afri-ca are highly resistant and very aggressiveand people should get vaccinated as soon aspossible, says pharmacist Henk van derWesthuizen.“We urge people to get their flu vaccines.
It protects youagainst the threemost dange-rous strains of viruses,” said van der West-huizen.“We’re expecting a very aggressive flu
this year. America had quite a bad seasonwith resistant strains, necessitating a chan-ge in the formula for the southern hemis-phere. Getting the vaccine reduces compli-cations and costs by about 80%,” he said.Most at risk were pregnant and lactating
mothers, immune compromised patientsand babies over 6 months of age in crèches,as well as people over 65 years of age, hesaid.

Police in Belhar have been hard at workcurbing gang activities in recent months.
Belhar acting Station Commander Her-mandeJager said theyhavebeen investigat-ing gang related gun battles in Extension 13,Belhar and surrounding areas for the pasttwo months.
“The increase of gang violence is overdrug turf and new, young gang memberswho want to make a name for themselves,”he said.
“For the months April and May, eightmurders and 25 attemptedmurder cases hadbeen reported. All of these murders and at-temptedmurderswere committedbyknownmembers of gangs in Extension 13.”
De Jager said in many cases these crimi-nals were known gangsters but people werenot prepared to give them up to the police.
“These bad people are getting away whilegood people are doing nothing,” he said.
“The bigger problem is when innocentchildren and people are injured in the cross-fire. In one of these incidents one innocentchild was injured in Gooedehoop Street dur-ing May.
“There was another incident where achild was playing soccer in the street and hewas hit in the leg when a battle broke outbetween the Mob 28 Gang and the NexusGang in a throughway between ReigjerClose and Donkin Road.
“On 25May 2015 alleged gangmembers be-longing to the 28 Terrible Josters gang wereboth shot and killed in front of bystanders.”V Anyone with information can contact the policeon 021 953 8100, Crime Stop 0860010111, Police CallCentre 10111 or the Sector Police on 082 522 1921.Police also pay money for information that will leadto successful prosecution and information on illegalfirearms, drugs and murders or attempted murders.

Some of theammunitionthat wasrecoveredduringOperation Fielain Bonteheuwelon Friday.
Operation Fiela praised byresidents in BonteheuwelGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
“Fiela is fine with us!”That is the sentiment of residents from
Bonteheuwel after the Bishop Lavis policejoined forces with the army and other lawenforcement agencies during an OperationFiela exercise in the area on Friday.
Seventeen suspectswere apprehended forvarious crimes during the execution ofdoor-to-door searches, arrest warrants andpatrols that included house to house sear-ches.
During the operation 96 houses, 333 per-sons and 14 vehicles in Netreg and Bonte-heuwel were searched.
These searches yielded 811 grams of dag-ga (71 stoppe), four parcels of dagga, 40 dag-ga cigarettes, half a carry bag of dagga, 156sackets of tik, 171 whole Mandrax tablets,38 Mandrax half-tablets and R1198.80 cash.
The police also arrested two suspects forpossession of 191 rounds of R1/303 ammuni-tion.
During the searches at thehouses they ca-me discovered a house where a number ofmotor cycles were kept and one was confir-
med stolen in Parow earlier this year.On Saturday Brigadier Christopher Jo-
nes spoke at a meeting organised by theJoint Peace Forum and praised the peopleof Bonteheuwel for their cooperation.
“I am very proud of the people for theirreaction and we will be doing more of theseoperations in the future,” he said.
“People have shown that they want to getrid of crime in their neighbourhoods. Evenduring the operation I was out there and pe-ople were phoning me to thank me and insome cases giving the police tips on wherecriminal activities were taking place.
“Theywere our eyes out there at times tel-ling us where to look, or to go to a certainhouse. This shows if we work together thenwe can win against crime”
Arnold van Schalkwyk joked that Fielawas welcome to move in with him at anytime.
“I’m a widower so if she’s looking for aboyfriend here I am,” the pensioner joked.
“But on the serious side we are very hap-py that this exercise was carried out here.We would welcomemore exercises like thisbecause crime has taken over our area toomuch,” said van Schalkwyk.

Mehtaab Arai is turning six on Wednesday10Junebut therewill benoparty in theAraihousehold.This young lady wanted to rather give
gifts to orphans in the community.OnSaturdayyouwouldhave thought that
preparations for a big birthday bash wereunderway at the family home in CravenbyEstate, but it was all serious work for thefive-year-old who was supervising the“elves” helping her.“No, don’t put such a little sweets in the
packet. Are there enough blankets? Whenare you going to put the lollipops in? Put thecrayons inside the colour-in book!”Yes, this was serious work for a five-year-
oldwhowas thinking of disadvantaged chil-dren before herself.Mom Zaibu said she was reading a story
to her from Tween Tales by Rehana E Esawhen“sheknocked the socksoffme”byask-ing if we could make up gift packs for or-phans from her and her brother, Muham-mad instead of having a party. Muham-med’s birthday is on Thursday 4 June, theyare four years apart.“At first Iwas too shocked to sayanything
so she repeated herself.“So we needed to decide what we were go-
ing to put into the goody bag and where todeliver them and so forth.“Mehtaab is quite an organiser and semi-
dictated what she wanted in the bag (need-less to say it was the luxuries first).“Then we involved family and friends so
we could make it a friendly family affair.”On Saturday it was all coming together as
Mehtaab’s cousins Muneebah, Ayesha Bibiand Raighaana Osman were roped in to
help.On Sunday Mehtaab and Muhammad
went to orphanages in Rylands and Prim-rosePark to distribute the 50 packages filledwith variouis hygiene essentials, blanketsand socks, and sweets.

Several Wesbank fami-lies are still recoveringfrom a disastrous fire
that gutted two homes and fi-ve informal structures.The incident occurred in
Rowellan Street on Sunday17 May.One adult male suffered
burn wounds to his face.“All of the houses on the
plot in Rowellan Street aredestroyed,” said communityworker Edith van Wyk, whoattended the scene.Several fires have occur-
red in theWesbank andKalk-fontein area since the start ofthe year. In most cases infor-mal structures are burntdown, partially damaging ad-jacent houses.
Cause unknownThe cause of the most re-
cent fire is still unknown,said van Wyk.“One of the residents said
she saw flames coming out ofone of the wendy houses.When she ran out, all thewendyhouses in the yardwe-re burning.”Theo Layne, spokesperson
for theCity of CapeTown’s fi-re and rescue services, saidthe number of recorded in-formal dwellings affected byfires last winter were 210 inJune, 169 in July and 175 inAugust.The number of formal
dwellings affected by firesfor each of the months were41, 87 and 57 respectively.
Preventable“In most of these incidents
the fires could have beenavoided and can be attribu-ted to negligence when usingcooking, heating and otherelectrical devices.”He said the City is making
all attempts to ensure thatthe number of structures andthe number of fatalities de-crease during the forthco-ming winter period.
“Fire and rescue is also te-aming upwith other servicesto ensure that the maximumnumber of residents are edu-cated on aspects of fire safetyand the immediate reportingof incidents. These includetheCity’s disaster riskmana-gement, community NGO’sand community policing fo-rums,” Layne said.He added that most fires
are caused by lack of thoughtor concentration, or by care-lessness.“Cigarettes, matches and
lighters, candles, electricalfaults, heating and cookingappliances and equipmentsuch as electric blankets canall be lethal.”In order to prevent shack
fires, residents should:Keep a close eye on paraf-
fin stoves;Avoid cooking near a cur-
tained window;Make sure the stove is sta-
ble and does not fall over;Make sure candles are se-
cure and cannot fall over;Do not go to sleep with
candles still burning;Teach children about the
dangers of fire;Watch out for discarded ci-
garette butts;Be aware of the dangers of
illegal and faulty electricityconnections, which also cau-se fires;Keep a bucket filled with
water to extinguish flames;Keep a bucket of sand to
put out paraffin fires;Build dwellings at least
threemetres apart to preventfires from spreading, and en-sure this space is kept open;Keep roads and access to
dwellings clear at all times;Do not block roads with
possessions when there is afire;Do not prevent or disrupt
the work of fire crews figh-ting fires.

Blind adventurer and motivationalspeakerHeinWagnerwill host aDin-ner in the Dark in aid of charity laterthis year.The exclusive event,whichwill see
all proceeds go to the Institute for theBlind in Worcester, is set to take pla-ce at the Townhouse Hotel in CapeTown on Wednesday 10 June.The Institute for the Blind was es-
tablished in 1881 to cater for theneeds of visually impaired personsand visually impaired persons withadditional disabilities, through theprovision of accommodation, sup-port services, skills training, em-ployment, education and career de-velopment.Wagner, a Kuils River resident
well known for the endurance raceshehas takenpart in since his teenageyears, says the dinner is a fun eventand he would like all guests to walkaway inspired and invigorated.“However, the experience should also en-
courage them to appreciate what they have.People should be aware of how important itis to use all five senses – so much more canbe achieved if we don’t take these things forgranted,” he says.Wagner participates in extreme adventu-
res to market the abilities of those livingwith disabilities and to raise funds for theinstitute.To date he has broken the World Blind
Land speed record, competed in the 2011 Ab-sa Cape Epic, conquered the Antarctica Ma-rathon last year and completed the 2015 Dis-covery World Triathlon held in Cape Town.
One of Wagner’s biggest challenges on hisjourney thus far has been to accept his blind-ness for what it is.“It helpedme to openmymind to amazing
opportunities. I hope the Dinner in the Darkexperience provides a little insight into themagical world of the blind.”Later this year Wagner will be at it again
when he takes on the challenge of the UCIPara–cycling Road World Cup in Pieterma-ritzburg. The event is set to take place from11 to 13 September.V For more information about the Dinner in the Darkor to book a table, contact 023 347 2745 or visitevents@blindinstitute.org.za

Shameeg van Schalkwyk is a young artistwho wants to share his view of the world.
The 25-year-old from Heideveld may havehad no formal training but his love for arthas seen him sketching since primaryschool.
“I was in Grade 4 at Dagbreek Primarywhen I first fell in love with drawing,” hesays.
“At first it was just my love for cars thatI wanted to share with the world but it justevolved from there.
“There was no training available at ourschool so it was about finding my feet onmy own, looking at other work and teach-ing myself.”
That love for art kept on growingthroughout his high school years and it wasonly after leaving school that a stint at anart supply store gave him some more in-sight into his passion.
“This was another experience for me be-cause I got the chance to learn about morematerials, I spoke to artists and discoveredso many new techniques I could apply inmy own work,” he says.
“This experience really motivated mebut it is still a journey that I feel needs someformal guidance.”
While Shameeg feels he needs moregrowth there were people in his neighbour-hood and surrounding areas who want hiswork in their homes.
“So far it’s just by word of mouth that Iget ‘commissions’,” he laughs.
“People will come up to me and give mean idea of what they want, sometimes it’sa portrait with a difference, their cars (Istill love them) and even landscapes, butmy problem is that I really don’t know theirworth.”
Recently Shameeg’s work got noticed onvarious social media when some of his 3-Ddrawing were shared.
“This is one of the forms of drawing thathas interested me for some time and I havestarted experimenting with it,” he says.V For more information about his work call 062 2435843.

Women’s network valued inKuils River police cluster
The Kuils River and Delft police clus-ters’ Women’s Network was re-laun-ched at an event at the Mfuleni police
station recently, with representatives fromseven different stations in attendance.The seven police stations include Belhar,
Bellville South, Delft, Kleinvlei, Kuils Ri-ver, Mfuleni and Ravensmead.Cluster commander Brigadier Vincent
Beaton addressed the policewomen at themeeting on Tuesday 19 May.Beaton said the network would play a vi-
tal role in forming partnerships with exter-nal role-players.He also encouraged police members to
look after each other because “wehave a du-ty of care”.
“When we take off the uniform, we are al-so human beings,” Beaton said.Motivational speaker Pearl Erasmus,
said women have not lost their value.She demonstrated this by folding a R100
note into a creased state and asking the au-dience about the value of the note. The all-women audience agreed that the R100 note,although creased, still retains its value.Erasmus praised women in leadership
positions. “If you want to be a leader, be aservant first,” she said.She also cautioned women to be mindful
about what say to people. “Words can hurt.Be careful what you say to other people.”Conversely, she added: “Don’t let the opi-

RACING: UNIQUE RACE DAY BILLED AT KILLARNEY HAS PETROL HEADS FROTHING
Carnival of speed
Actionpacked racing is due to thrill spectators at Killarney during the Carnival Race Day onSaturday.
With Saturday’s unique Carnival Ra-ce Day offering more top flight va-riety than has ever been experien-
ced at Killarney, there is tremendous exci-tement among petrol-heads of all ages.
The on-track action includes the Caperound of the All-Africa 3-Hour EnduranceRace Series due to finish after dark, a legof the South African Superkart Champi-onship and round four of the Power Seriesfor cars and motorcycles, sponsored byWingfield Motors.
A parade of VW Beetles in honour of themarque’s 80th anniversary (the prototypePeople’s Car was unveiled in Germany inmid 1935), will take place during the lunchbreak, with the lucky winners of highspeed laps in a racing sports Porsche com-petition to receive their award shortly af-terwards. There will also be a display ofmotorcycle stunt riding.
Static attractions will be an Exotic andSports Car Show that includes several his-toric motorcycles under cover in the spaci-ous new pit block. The popular Engen F1simulators will be available to budding Le-wis Hamiltons in the same building. Outs-ide, a multifaceted fun fair and amusementpark will run in the adjacent parking area.
American muscleWhile entries for the 3-Hour Race include
six Porsches, all with two or even threedrivers, the battle up front is likely to befought between a trio of Junos, a Dodge Vi-per and possibly a Panoz Esperante.
The formidable Juno attack is being ledby Western Cape champion Francis Carru-thers, with co-drivers Nick Adcock and De-an McCarroll in an SS3 V6. They will haveto face Craig Jarvis and Marcel Angel inJarvis’s recently acquired brutal V10, 8.4
litre Dodge Viper, and an American-sourcedV8 Panoz Esperante shared by Dave Alhad-eff, Jonathan Bernstein and Chris Carolin.
Any gap up front will allow the remainingJuno SS3s of Steve Humble / Johan Engel-brecht and Colin Plit / Dawie Joubert, ormaybe even Justin Mathie and Gary Sher-rat’s Nissan 370Z to take up the chase.
Interesting entries have been receivedfrom Mark Lauth / Mike Verrier in a ShelbyCanAm, while Greg Mills is teamed withAndrea Bate in a Pillbeam MP 98.
LowslungThen there’s the potentially awesome
spectacle of the Superkart races where thedrivers’ backside is a few inches off theground, in these tiny projectiles with no sus-pension and wheels the size of chocolate coa-ted doughnuts. However, they are poweredby 250cc motors with six speed sequentialgearboxes and can hit over 200 km/h on theback straight and lap quicker than the migh-ty Wesbank V8’s of a couple of years ago.
The perennially hard-fought Bold MarineGTi Challenge racing is expected to be ahighlight. Young Marco Busi and Christop-her Swart swapped lead places last monthand will be the ones to watch.
While 15-year-old Joshua Dolinschek willseek to repeat his recent single seater For-mula Libre victory, the battle in the MutluBatteries Classic Cars and the Cars Unlimi-ted Fine Car events, which includes DaveRowley’s rare, modified VW Beetle, is expec-ted to be much closer.
With the first race to start at 10.00am, theAfrican 3-Hour is the final event and is toget under way at 4.15pm. Admission is R60for adults and R20 for scholars under 16.There is no charge for kids under 12. Ticketsare also available from Computicket.

Brackenfell se regstel-oorwinning oor HSStrand en HS Bellville, wat Worcester Gim-nasium se pret bederf het, was van die glans-punte in die afgelope naweek se o.19A-skole-rugbywedstryde.
Nadat HS Strand die vorige drie jaar nael-skraapse oorwinnings oor Brackenfell be-haal het, het die Brakke dit dié keer duidelikgestel dat hy hom nie weer sal laat kortvat
nie. Brackenfell het die tuisspan inderdaad’n goeie opstopper gegee om met 36-11 te seë-vier.
HS Bellville het met sy besoek aan die on-oorwonne Worcester Gimnasium die stangvan meet af vasgebyt en hom geleidelik in’n wurggreep vasgevat om met 29-15 te wen.Die Worcesteriete is tans die topspan in dieBoland.
Durbanville se eerste ontmoeting in baiejare met die sterk span van SAKS het nie die
gewenste resultate gelewer nie. Die gevolgwas ’n druipsterttelling van 10-34.
Ook HS Tygerberg is met 43-7 deur die on-oorwonne HJS Paarl gelooi, maar Stellen-berg het min moeite ondervind om Hotten-tots-Holland met 57-0 kaf te draf.
D.F. Malan het met ’n uitslag van 22-14Primrose-klub met die kous oor die kop huistoe gestuur, terwyl Monumentpark, on-danks sy twee drieë teenoor die geen vanHTS Bellville, met ’n gelykopuitslag van 12-
12 genoeë moes neem.Ander spanne wat ook aan die wenkant
was, is President (22-3 t Tableview), Fair-mont (8-7 t Parelvallei), Tygerberg-klub (48-5t Eben Dönges), Parow (24-10 t CaledonianRoses-klub), Fairbairn (29-22 t J.G.Meiring),The Settlers (29-0 t Westerford), Edgemead(21-10 t Bosmansdam), Excelsior (9-3 t GrooteSchuur) en Scottsdene (31-12 t Macassar).
