COMPANY’S GARDENS

Going back to the sourceNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Upgrades to several areas of the Compa-ny’s Gardens are nearing completion.The project, costing just under R1m,

includes a large landscape redevelopmenton both sides of Lower Government Avenueto create a more “garden-like” feeling to theentrance of the Company’s Garden and im-prove the plantings and aesthetic of the low-er avenue for tourists and visitors, says Be-linda Walker, Mayco member for communi-ty services and special projects“There was also a landscape development

along the edge of the rose garden where twolarge plant bedswere landscaped and this al-so links to the traditional medicinal plantsacross the path near the VOC vegetable gar-den,” she says.

“There is also a water-wise element to theprotea/fynbos/West Coast plantings whichexhibit to the public the possibilities for gar-dening with these plants.”The administration buildings were up-

graded to improve staff ablutions and staffrooms.However, the biggest portion of the up-

grades was the linkage of the garden irriga-tion system to the spring water supply mainfrom Queen Victoria Street, Walker says.“This springwater is piped from the ‘vine-

yard spring’ in Upper Orange Street with itssource being the run-off from Table Moun-tain.”The spring water pipeline takes water to

the Cape Town Stadium andGreen Point Ur-ban Park.“It is a very large pipeline. The top and

middle portion of theCompany’sGarden, in-

cluding the newly developed VOC vegetablegarden, is now connected to spring water.This project also made provision for a con-nection of the spring water to the lower gar-den which will be a final phase of theproject,” she says.Ward Councillor and chairperson of the

Company’s Garden steering committee, Da-ve Bryant, adds: “The ongoing investmentsinto the Company’s Gardens have led to sig-nificant rejuvenation and revitalisationover the past five years. During this timewehave seen the opening of a new restaurant,the roll-out of free WiFi, the installation ofthe VOC urban garden, improved securityand muchmore. I am personally very proudof how far we have come over the past fiveyears and we will continue our work on im-proving the space going forward.”The Company’s Garden is 364 years old

this year and the buildings and infrastruc-ture are 60 years and older,Walker explains.“The old irrigation lines burst and break

and needed urgent replacement, and whiledoing so, it was decided to reconnect the gar-den to its original water source – the springsof Table Mountain. The landscape itself, aswith all gardens, is dynamic and needs regu-lar development and improvement.”The project was started in April and is ex-

pected to be completed over the next fewweeks, Walker says.“The reconnection of the garden to the

spring water main also reconnects the gar-den to its heritage. The garden was original-ly established in its position because of the‘sweet water’ run-off from the mountain.This reconnection adds another layer tomaintaining the heritage of the Company’sGarden,” she says.

WATERFRONT

Dog bucks thetrend on siteWhen visitors to the Clock Tower and Si-

lo Districts report sightings of a fluffyblack dog wearing a luminous yellow con-struction vest, V&A Waterfront staff smileand quickly reassure them that Buc is sim-ply amember of the Silo District’s construc-tion team.Every day, Buckaroo the Belgium shep-

herd – known to his familiars as Buc – ac-companies owner Paul Edgecome from No-ordhoek to the Waterfront, where he workson site as a surveyor. But while contractorsregard Buc as simply amember of the team,he is greeted with incredulous stares by thepublic, who all want to pat him.And Buc is happy to oblige.Buc’s primary job on site is to guard

Paul’s equipment and sense of humour, ajob he doeswell except when droëwors is onoffer. Then, according to Paul, “his brainshuts down”.Paul’s previous dog, Lupie, used to ac-

companyhim towork everyday aswell. Butfour years ago, when he became too old todo so, Paul paid a visit to the SPCA wherehe encountered Buc. Paul says: “Buc prettymuch chose me. He immediately ran up tome and the decision was made.”Paul andBuchave been involvedwith the

Silo District construction project since thetail end of the now completed No. 1 and No.2 Silo buildings. They are currently in-volved with the construction of the remain-ing No. 3 Silo through to No. 6 Silo, and theconversion of the historic Grain Silo intothe Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Af-rica.Initially, Bucwas unsure of the labourers

in their heavy boots, overalls andhardhats,andbarkedwheneverhe encountered them.Paul asked the labourers to say “hello” toBuc whenever they encountered him, andtheir friendly tone soon convinced Buc thattheywere friends. Todayhehappily runsup

to greet them.During the demolition phases at the Zeitz

MOCAA construction site, Buc needed towear special earmuffs, which he did reluc-tantly. These had to be attached to his con-struction bib as he sometimes rebelled andremoved them with his paw.If Buc becomes uncomfortable with the

noise level, he opts for “administrationwork” instead, trotting off to the construc-tion office around the corner. If the door isclosed but unlocked, hewill open it with hispaw, or hewill nudge someone tounlock thedoor for him. While there, he takes a breakfrom “work” by napping under Paul’s desk.Unlike his owner, Buc has a head for

heights and will fearlessly travel with thecrew in lifts or up a flight of scaffoldingstairs.Paul describes Buc as extremely intelli-

gent. “He instinctively knows when he canfool around and when he must behave him-self. In summerhe is particularly fondof theoffice because it is air-conditioned.”Althoughconstruction is dustywork,Buc

cleans up with a good swim in the dam atthe top of Redhill and in the stream at No-ordhoek Common. Like most dogs, he ap-preciates a good romp on the beach, butdoesn’t do this regularly as Paul battles toget the sand out of his thick coat.Buc’s “work” may not be as essential to

the Silo District project as Paul’s, who is re-sponsible for positioning the architecturaland engineering designs on-site for contrac-tor WBHO, but everyone on site will agreethathebrings apositive influence to the job.Although a construction environment is astressful one, Buc’s presence lightens ev-eryone’s mood and has a general calminginfluence.Buc and Paul will remain on site until the

end of the Silo District construction workat the end of the year.

Buc, the Belgiumshepherd “working”on the Silo District’sconstruction team.

FOND FAREWELLS: PaddyGordon will be leaving TableMountain National Park as parkmanager and will be transferring tothe Garden Route National Parkwhere he will take up the sameposition this month. Havingpreviously worked as park managerat Richtersveld and Mountain Zebranational parks, Gordon lends hisexpertise and knowledge tomanaging a variety of parks andespecially running a park like TableMountain.

In return, LesleyAnn Meyer,the area manager of the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden RouteNational Park, will become the newTable Mountain National Parkmanager.

Law enforcement protocol to net poachersCracking down on illegal poachers, such asthose harvesting abalone, will become eas-ier after an the signing of an agreement toboost resources fighting marine poaching.The City of Cape Town and the Depart-

ment of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(Daff) have signed an Implementation Proto-col that paves theway for closer cooperationand mutual support in the fight against ille-gal marine resource extraction along theCity’s 300km coastline.Through the protocol, City law enforce-

ment officers havebeen trained andappoint-ed as fishery control officers in terms of theMarine Living Resources Act, with full pow-ers.The City established a specialised Marine

and Environmental Law Enforcement Unitin 2013. The focus of the unit has been ma-

rine and coastal law enforcement, includ-ing inshore boat patrols.Recent successes have included the ar-

rest of a shop owner inGlencairn for illegalpossession of over 800West Coast rock lob-ster and the arrest of nine suspects in Gor-don’s Bay for the illegal possession of 200abalone.Mayco member for safety and security,

JP Smith, says: “The Protocol will pave theway for more integrated law enforcementoperations between the City and Daff. Itwill also significantly increase the resour-ces, capacity and effort available for en-forcement and policing of the coastal andmarine environment. Hopefully we will beable to procure a second large patrol boatsoon, also to combat the stripping of ourscarce and valuable marine resources.”

Toll fees climbToll fees on Chapman’s Peak Drive will in-crease from this month.The fees will raise to R21 for registered

minibus taxi operators, R27 for motorcy-cles, and R42 for light motor vehicles.The contract between the Department of

As of July, the City of Cape Town are pro-viding solid-waste collection services di-rectly to parts of the far south and AtlanticSeaboard for an interim period.

These areas are normally serviced byCity-appointed contractors. In various are-as, the City’s solid-waste management de-partment contracts out its collection servi-ces. The tenders – which have been in placefor the past three years – to render theseservices were terminated last week (Thurs-day 30 June). The services concerned arethe wheeliebin collection and recycling ser-vice to the communities that form part ofthe Think Twice Programme.

Despite detailed planning by the City fora smooth handover by the successful bid-ders, unforeseen challenges have delayedthe awarding of the new contracts in cer-tain areas. Suburbs that will be affected areHout Bay, Llandudno, Bakoven, CampsBay, Clifton, Fresnaye, Muizenberg, StJames, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Glencairn, Si-mon’s Town, Sun Valley, Noordhoek, Kom-metjie, Scarborough, Ocean View and Ma-siphumelele.

Over the last week, the solid-waste man-agement department has been workinghard to put in place a contingency plan toensure that customers are provided with aquality service directly from the City as ofJuly. The areas will be serviced by the Cityon the same days as they are normally ser-viced and the City will strive to ensure thatthe only difference residents will notice isthe change in collection vehicles.

Plan B for refusecollection services

DISTRICT SIX

Healthcare injection of over R100mNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A new healthcare facility in Dis-trict Six is expected to open ear-

ly next year.Provincial ministers for health,

Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, and pub-lic works, Donald Grant, visitedthe site in Primrose Street onWednesday 29 June for an updateon the facility’s construction.

Construction of the R104m com-munity healthcare centre is ex-pected to be completed in January,with the facility opening to thepublic in March next year.

The centre is on the former siteof the Peninsula Maternity Hospi-tal which was demolished in 2011after the majority of District Sixclaimants voted during a publicparticipation process (“New hospi-tal for District Six”, People’s Post,17 October 2013) to have the unusedhospital removed.

The Peninsula Maternity Hospi-tal served thousands of District Sixresidents before the forced remov-

als.The hospital was merged with

Mowbray Maternity Hospital in1992. The site had been standingopen after being used to house stu-dents and as a wardrobe storeroomfor Artscape.

The new facility, which is ex-pected to be the largest clinic in thecity, will replace the Woodstockand Robbie Nurock CommunityDay Centres. Once the District Sixcentre starts to operate, it will pro-vide comprehensive primaryhealth services for approximately90 000 mainly low- or no-incomepeople from Woodstock, Salt River,Vredehoek and central Cape Town,including the beneficiaries of theDistrict Six redevelopment.

It is expected around 750 patientswill use the centre daily.

Mbombo says: “I am pleased bythe progress made in the construc-tion of the facility to date. I look for-ward to finally opening the doorsof this facility, particularly in anarea that holds such significancein the history of this city and the

nation. This year marks the 50thanniversary of forced removalsfrom District Six. The progress onthis facility is an important mile-stone in the redevelopment of thecommunity.”

A heritage building on the site,

built in the late 1800s and previous-ly used as a nurses’ residence, willbe incorporated into the develop-ment. The design incorporates anumber of green features, includ-ing energy-saving lights and mo-tion sensors that switch off lights

that are not needed. Natural venti-lation and lighting will supple-ment mechanical ventilation andelectric lighting. Rainwater will beharvested to flush toilets and tosupplement the supply of water forfirefighting.

Grant says: “Most of the build-ings will comprise a framed con-crete structure and a mixture offace-brick and painted infill walls,as well as metal roof sheeting onsteel trusses. Because of space con-straints, the centre is a multi-sto-rey building with basement park-ing. It features a terraced court androof garden as an interface to a her-itage building on the site.”

The building also incorporatesthe “spectacular” views over thecity in various areas and is centredround a courtyard, which willbring light into the building.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant,who attended the site visit, adds:“There are a number of vulnerablepeople in the area and the commu-nity is happy to have a new facili-ty.”

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique whichemployees permanent pigmentation of the dermis asa means of producing designs that resemblemakeup and other permanent enhancing coloursto the skin of the face, lips and eyelids.

The process of micro pigmentation. Wepenetrate through the epidermal layer using aneedle that inserts the pigments. This layer ofcells changed very few weeks, so this techniquewill gradually fade but can last up till about fouryears. Unlike a tattoo which uses a needle thatpenetrates the layer of sub cuts, the layer wepenetrate has no regeneration of the pigment cellssoHair Simulation can last for a longer time.

Skin Needling is a procedure that uses multipleneedles less than 0.25mm in diameter, to pierce theskin and create tiny injuries deep in the skin. Thesedermal injuries lead to new collagen information via thenormal skin repairmechanisms.

The Cause of Vitiligo is not known. Vitiligo may be anautoimmune disease. These diseases happen when yourimmune system mistakenly attacks some part of your ownbody. In vitiligo, the immune system may destroy themelanocytes in the skin. It is also possible that one or moregenes may make a person more likely to get the disorder.Some researchers think that the melanocytes destroythemselves. Others think that a single event such as sunburnor emotional distress can cause vitiligo.

Breaking downhealth barriersJuly is Psychiatric Disability Awareness

Month and this year Cape Mental Health(CMH), a leading mental health service pro-vider, is raising awareness of the barriersin accessing medication and community-based resources for people with psychiatricdisability.

To launch the campaign, CMH invited thepublic to show their support in breakingdown barriers faced by people with psychi-atric disabilities at St Georges Square onThursday 30 June.

They were asked to remove a brick froma two-metrewall designedby local artistAd-iel Jacobs to symbolise their support in re-moving barriers.

Health is a fundamental human right, in-dispensable for the exercise of many otherrights, and is necessary for living a life ofdignity, CMH says in a statement.

“The health of people with psychiatricdisability is largely neglected by the publichealth care system in South Africa. Formany service users access to and the availa-bility of psychotropic medication is essen-tial to their own recovery and managementprocess. Medication plays a key role in thetreatment of co-occurring disorders; it also

reduces symptoms and prevents relapse.”The lack of funding for community-based

resources continues to be a serious prob-lem, CMH states.

“A large number of studies reveal gaps incommunity-based psychosocial rehabilita-tion programmes, particularly in rural are-as, which suggest that the ‘revolving door’phenomenon is partly due to inadequatecommunity-based care, including psycho-social rehabilitation.”

There is therefore an urgent need to de-velop more community-based mentalhealth services (which include community-based residential care, day services, sup-port services and outpatient services), inkeeping with international best practices,the statement reads.

“We ask the South African government toinvest in the upscaling of mental healthcare services as a matter of urgency. It isthe government’s constitutional obligationto ensure that people living with a psychiat-ric disability have access to health care ser-vices (which includes affordable medica-tion with the least side effects) and commu-nity-based resources) and that their right todignity is realised and restored.”

July is Psychiatric Disability Awareness Month and this year Cape Mental Health is raisingawareness of the barriers in accessing medication.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the open-ing of theVredehoekLibrarywill be delayedby a week.Instead of the anticipated opening on

Monday 4 July, the library will now onlyopen on Monday 11 July. The library hasbeen closed for maintenance (“New look forVredehoek Library”, People’s Post, 24 May).The library’s maintenance project will in-

clude painting – inside and outside – newflooring, installation of a roof overhang in

front of the entrance, the refitting of staff ar-eas and the remodelling of the library down-stairs, including carpets and painting.Perimeter fencing will also be installed,

says Belinda Walker, Mayco member forcommunity services and special projects.The project is estimated to cost just under

R200 000.The library will still accept any returned

material. Library users are encouraged touse neighbouring libraries – Kloof Street Li-brary, Central Library, Camps Bay Libraryand Sea Point Library – to return and takeout library material.

AR10mgrant has been awarded toRobbenIsland Museum.

The museum was awarded a destinationdevelopment grant from the National De-partment of Tourism, which aims to en-hance the visitor experience through sup-porting identified and planned components,the department says in a statement.The current support focus is on capacity

development of tourist guides, digitisationof heritage information and archives, im-proving visitor information services, in-creasing existing and introducing addition-al food and beverage facilities, as well as acraft centre.Robben IslandMuseumhadnot comment-

ed at the time of going to print.Cape TownTourismCEO, Enver Duminy,

says: “The Robben Island Museum can onlybenefit from funding of this nature in thatit will be able to provide and maintainworld-class facilities,” he says.In December there was a 43% increase in

the number of visitors to the world heritage

site compared to the previous year, Duminysays.“The attraction reported that the number

of locals visiting the attraction doubled inDecember compared with the same periodin 2014. It’s essential that locals exploretheir own environment, especially attrac-tions such as Robben Island that play a keyrole in our heritage,” he says.There were 341 000 visitors to Robben Is-

land in 2015 – an increase of 3.7% over 2014.However, 46 793 tickets were sold for the at-traction inDecember alone – 15%more thanthe amount sold during the 2010 SoccerWorld Cup in South Africa.Robben Island has already expanded its

fleet of ferries by partnering with Water-frontCharters,makinguse of their sixmedi-um and large sized boats, Duminy says.“This increase in capacity will aid in en-

suring visitors are able to access the attrac-tion. Future plans include a 200-seater res-taurant, the introductionof a state-of-the-artvisitor information centre, training of tourguides, developing tours of different lengthsto keep visitors on the island for longer andbicycle tours on the island.”

In the build up to the InternationalAids Conference in Durban (Mon-

day 18 to Saturday 22 July), a localexhibition of 17 quilts made by peo-ple affected by HIV will tell the sto-ry of what has been achieved sincethe last time the conference washeld in South Africa in the year2000.

TB/HIV Care Association, aCape Town based NGO, was onlyone of several organisations SouthAfrican National Aids Council(Sanac) approached to createquilts.

In 2000, antiretroviral treatmentwas not yet widely available, stig-

ma and discrimination were wide-spread and the outlook was bleak.

These quilts tell a very differentstory.

South Africa now has the largestantiretroviral treatment pro-gramme in the world, a mother-to-child transmission rate of less thantwo percent and has witnessed anincrease of more than 10 years inlife expectancy over the past dec-ade, says Zolani Barnes, managerof TB/HIV Care. “These visual sto-ries provide valuable insight intothe lives behind the statistics.”

TB/HIV Care unveiled the quiltsat an event at Haas Collective on

Buitenkant Street on Thursday 23June.

The 4m² quilts tell the stories ofthe people who made them – peopleinvolved in the organisation’s pro-grammes, including people who in-ject drugs, sex workers and prisoninmates, as well as those dedicatedto supporting them.

Three of these unique and pow-erful tapestries of life were auc-tioned on the night and all of thequilts will be submitted to the in-ternational HIV Quilt Project to besewn into the main quilt of morethan 100 000 quilts from all over theworld.

Sewing a story of progress

This quilt, one of those on display by TB/HIV Care, symbolises the journeyof women who were and are still most affected by HIV.

The Saartjie Baartman Centre forWomen and Children is preparingto launch a new wing equipped tohouse women with substance de-pendency issues who are seeking toescape abusive and violent relation-ships.

As a result a donation drive hasbeen launched in order to kit out thenew wing with furniture, beddingand clothing. The community andprivate sector are invited to supportthe centre in raising these necessi-ties.

“Currently about 80% of the wom-en who seek assistance from us testpositive for drugs,” says ShaheemaMcLeod, director of the centre.“Our intake profile is changing, the

women are very young, some barely18-years-old, and substance abuse isa big issue. It’s almost expected.”

The Saartjie Baartman Centre,which was established 17 years ago,has assisted more than 180 000 vic-tims of crime and violence. Overand above offering safe shelter, thecentre offers a number of services,including short and long-term ac-commodation, legal assistance,skills training, counseling foradults and children and a crèche forthe children staying at the centre.

“Based on our current intake pro-file, it’s become necessary for thecentre to offer a drug in-patient pro-gramme to our clients. We are cur-rently looking into securing long-

term funding for a separate wing,where we will be able to provide atwo-week orientation and detoxprogramme to women before theytransfer to a longer-term therapeu-tic stay,” says McLeod.

Over the past few years, the orga-nisation has seen a 65% increase inthe number of women and childrenfrom the community seeking assist-ance. “Violence against women andchildren continues to increase,drug and alcohol abuse is merely fu-eling an already volatile situation.The in-patient programme will go along way in assisting women survi-vors of violence in getting back ontheir feet and fending for them-selves,” concludes McLeod.

ATableBaybarmanandaMilnertonwaiterhave been remanded in custody for cardskimming fraud.

Asanda Oxley Jadi (26), and TafadzwaFelex Madziwadondo (22) appeared at theCape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday27 June for contravention of the ElectronicCommunications Act.On Saturday 11 June at about 16:30, a vigi-

lant patron allegedly witnessed Jadi in theact of skimming a customer’s credit card ata yacht club in Table Bay Harbour. Policewere then called and the accused was foundin possession of an unauthorised point ofsale device (used to compromise bank carddata), culminating in his arrest.

The case has been postponed to Wednes-day 20 July for further investigation.

Meanwhile, Madziwadondo stands ac-cused of “card not present” fraud (CPN). Itis alleged the accused, a waiter at a Milner-ton restaurant along Racecourse Road, per-petrated these offences from a period be-tween January and June this year.Several customers across the major

banks have reportedly fallen victim to thesealleged illicit acts. Investigations from theHawks as well as the banks uncovered theaccused’s involvement and on the day of hisarrest hewas found in possession of severalcustomer’s cards details.Madziwadondo’s matter has been post-

poned to Monday 4 July for a bail hearing.For both cases the value is yet to be deter-

mined, but the loss is believed to be a sub-stantial amount.

Card skimming fraud arrests

Taking plastic out of the environmentOn Sunday 3 July the Two

Oceans Aquarium and organi-sations around the world markedInternational Plastic Bag FreeDay.

The day aims to raise awarenessabout the unnecessary use of sin-gle-use plastic bags.

The Two Oceans Aquarium sup-ports a ban of single use plasticshopping bags in South Africathrough its Rethink the Bag cam-paign. The campaignwas launchedby Hayley McLellan, the aquari-um’s environmental campaigner,who has worked tirelessly since2010 to educate, establish partner-ships and promote the campaign.Many countries around the

world have banned these bags.Rwanda did so in 2008 andmore re-cently the island chain of Hawaii,Mauritius and Madagascar.Francewill havebanned thebagbyend 2016.

Single-use shopping bags have atremendous impact on the envi-ronment, McLellan says.

“South African consumers useapproximately eight billion shop-ping bags each year. Of these about96% end up in landfill and alsothreaten the lives of marine andterrestrial animals. Research hasshown that the average function-ing lifespan of a shopping bag is ap-proximately 20 minutes, whereaft-er it is discarded,” she says.

“Every day we hear about whatis going wrong in the environmentand this can feel disempowering.Always choosing reusable bags,rather than plastic bags, is such asimple way for each person to dosomething to benefit ourworld andfeel like they are making a differ-ence, seemingly against the odds.”

There is also an economic im-pact for South African consumers,McLellan says.

“In 2003 a levy was included inthe price of each shopping bag soldin South Africa. Between 2004 and2014, R1.2bn was collected throughthis levy. Only R200m of this mon-ey has been allocated to theDepart-ment of Environmental Affairs. In2011 the company that was estab-lished to manage the funds gener-ated by the bag levy, was disband-ed. However, consumers continueto pay the bag levy every time theypurchase a single-use plastic shop-ping bag.”Animals (marine and terrestri-

al) mistake plastic bags for food.Once ingested, the animals diefrom intestinal blockages and star-vation. Eighty percent of all ma-rine litter is plastic and plasticbags can last between 500 and 1000years before they degrade.V Visit www.rethinkthebag.org and signthe petition to urge the government toplace a ban on singleuse plastic bags

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

When is it murder?Over the past few years there hasbeenmuch debate about the differ-ence between murder and culpa-ble homicide.It is only recently, with the Os-

car Pistorius trial, that the differ-ence between the two concepts hasbeen debated and become a hottopic on social media. It has cer-tainly raised interesting yet con-troversial issues.This is largely controversial and

not clear as one would think, espe-cially after the Supreme Court ofAppeal set aside the finding andconviction of the court a quo onculpable homicide of Pistorious,and substituting it with a findingof murder. As a consequence, theaccused sentence was trumped upto a minimum of 15 years.Murder is a serious offence and

can be punishable by a minimumsentence of up to 15 years to life.Culpable homicide is less seriousand could be punishable by only afew years depending upon the cir-cumstances.The assumption by some laypeo-

ple is that if an accused kills a vic-tim, the action is automaticallyperceived as murder. That posi-tion is incorrect.As a result of the above percep-

tion, many asked the question:“Why Oscar was not charged withmurder as opposed to the the less-er crimeof culpablehomicide?”Aswe know this has now been substi-tuted and his charge has now beenchanged to murder and we areawaiting the sentence that fits therevised charge.In a nutshell, the difference be-

tween the charges is rather sim-ple: murder requires intentionwhile the culpable homicide re-quires negligence.Murder is the intentional, un-

lawful killing of another humanbeing. Murder therefore requiresthat the accused acted with the in-tention to kill. In other words, theaccused strategically planned theunlawful act of murder. Alterna-tively, it can be “legal intention”as discussed below.Culpable homicide, however, is

deemed a potentially unforeseea-ble, unplanned accident.The fundamental question, from

a criminal law perspective, did theaccused actwith the intentionnec-essary for a charge of murder?In recent years the concept of in-

tention has extended to cover notjust deliberatebut foreseeable con-duct.The accused does not mean nor

intend for the unlawful act to hap-pen, but he must have foreseenthat it might happen. This is re-ferred to as dolus eventualis.An example of dolus eventualis

is where someone decides to burna block of apartments occupying20 families.Hemight not have had the clear

intention to kill anyone in theapartments but the law recognisesthat he intended the death of somepeople by his actions. In essence,by foreseeing the possibility ofdeath (however remote) and act-ing regardless, he had the inten-tion to commit murder.Importantly, the accused does

not have to foresee the result as a

probable outcome of his conduct,but he must at least have foreseenthe outcome as a possibility.In a nutshell, the test for dolus

eventualis is whether the accusedforesaw the remote possibility ofharm. It is then deemed “legal in-tention” and the charge will bemurder.Culpable homicide, likemurder,

is a form of unlawful killing. Thedifference is that murder is inten-tional, whereas culpable homicideis a negligent act of killing.How does the court draw that

distinction?The court uses an objective test

to ascertain if the act was negli-gent. In otherwords, to shownegli-gence the Prosecution must showthat a “reasonable man” in the po-sition of the accused, would nothave foreseen the death as a resultof the consequences.The question is therefore: did

the accused foresee the possibilityof killing someone when he firedthe gun (culpable homicide) ormust the accused have foreseenthe possibility of killing someone(murder)?The test is one of the “reasonable

man” – the court will examinewhat the objective circumstancesof a “reasonable man” would havebeen in the situation of the ac-cused.The conclusion of the examina-

tion will determine the outcome.V This column was contributed by DenzilJacobs, an admitted advocate with expertise in commercial law. For guidance onlegal issues email him on [email protected].

LETTERS

Thanks to themen in blueLast Tuesday evening around21:00 I had a most terrifyingexperience while driving on theM3 highway between the Lady’sMile on-ramp and the Tokaioff-ramp.My car was sideswiped by an

out-of-control vehicle which flewon for about 50 meters and slidoff into the ditch.Thankfully, I was in the right

lane and was able to stop, turnon hazards and move off theroad into the emergency lane.A few moments later a metro

police vehicle arrived andseeing my hazards and myflashing lights turned back andtook control.I just want to say how

re-assuring, comforting andorganised they were.There was also a Kirstenhof

neighbourhood communityofficer, Hadyn, who was simplymarvellous and transported meto Kirstenhof Police Stationwhere again I received theupmost courtesy.I was advised not to attempt

to drive my car and agreed to

accept the assistance and adviceof an AA affiliated recoveryagent.As I am a member of the AA

I saw no problem with that, butin the next few days the releasecost of the vehicle was aproblem and resulted in a delayin my car being sent forassessment and repair.However the purpose of this

letter is in praise of our veryoverworked police force and ourdedicated emergency workerswho have to deal with all thesesituations – many much morehorrific than mine.We get daily negative reports

about our police force so I thinkin my case a little praise is inorder.The good news is that there

were no serious injuries to themany occupants of the unli-censed vehicle, driven by anuninsured and unlicenseddriver.My most sincere thanks to all

who were involved.M.A. JOHNSTONMarina da Gama

In honour of Mandela Day, People’s Postwill be reaching out to the children of Pa-tricia’s Home of Hope in Vrygrond – andwe want our readers to be part of the cele-bration.The facility is part of the Eniwe Chil-

dren’s Fund whose mission is to improvethe lives of abandoned and underprivi-leged children through various housing,feeding and skills development initiativesin the Western Cape.At present the home in Vrygrond cares

for 13 children (eight boys and five girls)with ages ranging from 2 to 15 and ourreaders can help us help them with someof their needs.To feed these children costs R7000 every

month and while cash donations are wel-come, People’s Post wants to assist withgrocery donations – like samp and beans,pap, split peas, lentils, canned foods, vege-tables, pasta, pasta sauce, juices, milk,butter, jam.There is also a need for shampoo, soap,

toothpaste and sanitary pads.Donations of warm clothes and shoes

(new or second-hand) for the childrenwillalso be welcomed.There is also the need for some handy

hands and building materials for im-provements to the home’s kitchen andbathroom.Some windows and door frames need to

be replaced, tilingor flooring for the facili-

ty needs attention. A new bathroom suite,hot water geyser and painting will alsoadd comfort.The facility is also looking for a new or

second-hand fridge in goodworking orderand a washing machine to hold a biggerthan normal load.

Wintermarks the time of year that the liqui-fied petroleumgas (LPG) business grows ex-ponentially almost overnight.LPG is amixture of two gases, butane and

propane, which are both derived from therefining process of crude oil into petroleum.These two gases are extremely flammable,but stable and safe when handled correctly.AlthoughLPGnaturally does not have a dis-tinctive colour or smell, the refineries addsulphur to the mixture to make it easilyidentifiable should there be a leak. As a re-sult, gas leaks are easy to detect and reducesthe risk of injury to leaks to almost zero.As with electricity, negligence causes ac-

cidents. LPG can be safely transported andstored in cylinders. These cylinders allwork on a deposit basis from the major in-dustry leaders, retailing for R342 (includingVAT) as a national standard. This meansthat the consumer is able to exchange anyof these cylinders at any distributor andstill maintain the deposit, as it stays con-

stant between the various suppliers.When purchasing a cylinder from a dis-

tributor it is important to note that the ‘heatshrink’ seal on the valve matches the makeof the cylinder purchased. Should you no-tice that the seal is clear without any mark-ings, this may be an indication that the cyl-inder has not been filled by an authoriseddealer and you might be compromising thesafety of your family. The seal on the cylin-der has a serial number which is linked toa specific distributor to ensure accountabil-ity in the case of under-filling or injury.During winter the LPG business runs on

the limit for around four months. People inthe Western Cape often experience shorta-ges during this time, due to the enormousdemand. Companies such as Eddlesgas inRetreat have stated that business can in-crease from 30 tonnes permonth to asmuchas 110 tonnes permonth during peakwintertimes.It is imperative to follow some easy safety

tips:. Check for seals on cylinders,. Ensure the cylinder is safe foruse (clear

markings on the cylinder to determine cor-rect mass and capacity, little to no rust visi-ble, thevalve is intact, there isnooil/ greaseon the cylinder),

. Makeuse of a respected, authorised dis-tributor,

. Be familiar with your appliance,

. Ensure your appliance is approved byLPGSA, and

. There areno leaksbetween the cylinderand the appliance (check for leaks by spray-ing soapy water on all the connections andchecking for excessive bubbles).Lastly, ensure your gas installation has a

valid Certificate of Compliance (COC).V LPG is safe when handled correctly and proper careis taken. Should you have any queries or questionsregarding the safe usage of LPG feel free to call 0861BUY GAS, for free advice from professionals in the industry.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz

Metrorail staff’smethods of dealingwith thepublic have come under the spotlight aftera young man’s experience left him trauma-tised.

Liam Brown, 19, from Woodstock foundthat pointing out bad manners can land youin hot water if you deal with Metrorail staffat Parow Station.On Tuesday 28 June he boarded a train at

Woodstock to start his night shift at a Parowfactory. “The problem startedwhen the tick-et box (at Woodstock) was closed when I gotthere,” he says.

“Normally this is not a problem, and therewas a number of people who could not pur-chase tickets when they got onto the train.

“When we got to Parow we explained thesituation to the staff at the barriers and wewere taken to what seemed to be a canteenor staff area because therewas lockers in theroom. From the start the woman who wasthere to write out the tickets was very rudeto the people. When it came for me to get aticket and I toldher that the officewas closed

at Woodstock, like others had told her, butshe just refused to listen to me and told methat I must not have an attitude.“I pointed out that she was the one with

attitude because of her rudeness to the peo-ple and how she must respect people espe-cially older people. That really upset her andshe ordered the other staff present to searchme and that I must give them all of my mon-ey. That is when I panicked and tried to getaway but one of the conductors grabbed meand head-butted me and told me that theywere going to keep me there until I paid. Itried to explain that they were making melate for my shift but they refused to listento me and because I did not have a phoneasked one of them to let me call my mother.After I calledher and explained the situationI asked to see their supervisor but got nohelp from him as well.”Many commuters have reported incidents

where ticket offices are closed.Estelle Mathee works in Woodstock and

adds that many of her staff from as far afieldas the Kuils River and Bellville areas and inthe southern suburbs from Retreat andSteenberg have experienced problems.

Trevor Vosloo is from a business based inClaremont who has also experienced thesame problems. “I hope that Metrorail canassist by informing all their staff at barrierswhat the proper process iswhen people start their jour-neys before offices open. Weunderstand that people mustnot travel for free but whymust they be punished forsomething that is not theirfault.”

Metrorail spokesperson Ri-ana Scott says: “Travellingwithout avalid ticket or in theincorrect travelling class forthe ticket purchased is a crim-inal offence in terms of theLe-gal Succession Act. Hundredsof fare-paying commuterscomplain daily about fellownon-paying passengers. Met-rorail reserves the right tolevy a booking fee (currently R40) or prose-cute persons without valid train tickets.”

Ticket office hours are generally deter-mined by the timetable, analysis of ticket

sales and passenger numbers using the par-ticular station, Scott says. “Should a ticketoffice at the origin station be closed, com-muters are obliged to purchase a ticket ei-

ther on the train fromteams with portable ticketissuing machines or attheir destination stationbefore exiting.“Those found to be in

contravention of the law,are required to wait at thestation in a designated ar-ea until they have beenprocessed.”“We do not condone any

GGrreeeennwood to tackle IdolsJOSEPH PILLAY

QQuite a few mouth-watering soccermatches are scheduled for Sunday inthe Round of the Last 64 in Safa CapeTown’s lucrative and ever-popular Co-

ca-Cola Cup knockout competition.At the time of going to press, the regional

body Safa Cape Town had not finalized theavailable venues or those fields suited to begood condition to host the fourth round ofmatches in the Cape Peninsula.

This is the 20th chapter of the Coca-ColaCup competition and it is a replica of whatthe FA Cup is to their English FA adversa-ries and has attracted over 500 amateurteams throughout the region.

High among the people’s choice will be theclash between last years’ Coca-Cola Cupchampions Young Idols and Greenwood Ath-letic.

The Retreat-based side Greenwood Athlet-ic is currently enjoying a healthy season inthe Cape District LFA Super League and isregarded as firm favourites to regain the

championship title from Ocean View whowon it last season.

With that in mind the Greenwood side facea stiff challenge against Young Idols and willhave to be more clinical in order to beat theirManenberg opponents.

However, Greenwood Athletic will be thesecond club side from Cape District LFA thatYoung Idols will be competing against fol-lowing their 2-0 win over coach Richard Rah-way’s Devonshire Rovers side recently.

Idols coach Paul “Gazza” Johnson hasurged his players to be ruthless againstGreenwood Athletic .

Johnson states that the Retreat-based sidecould be a handful.

“The key is to find ways to play througha very compact, very well organised Green-wood side. We have to find ways to find theforwards, find spots to go through. It doesn’treally matter what system you play. Theyare defensively very good and our strikerswill have to more clinical and make surethat we find those opportunities against ouropponents and finish them off,” adds John-

son.Adding to the thrills, Silver Spurs – the

2014 former champions – will lock horns willTrinitarians after both teams rose to the oc-casion triumphantly in beating KewtownUnited (4-2) and Hanover Rangers (5-1) re-spectively.

Silver Spurs coach Victor Tajoodien hasalways believed in his tried and tested faith-ful players like Elrico Corneillissen, NizaamMuller, Dino Hendricks, Terence Boqwanaand Cheslyn Tajoodien.

Equally confident is the Uitsig outfit andthey will not lie down without a fight.

Liverpool-Portland from Mitchell’s Plain– who won the trophy twice, first in 1996 asthe first recreants of knockout prime eventand in 2000 – will enter the lion’s den withGrassy Park United in another intriguinggame that should stretch both defences.

Crystal Palace having eliminated MilanoUnited (2-1) in the previous round will meetLeeds Lentegeur in a contest that Palacecoach, Achmat Williams, is pretty confidentat his key players in Gavin Hammers and

Lindani Ntamo with the support and back-ing of the other players in the team will pavethe way for a place in the Last 32.

The derby clash between the ManenbergLFA teams, namely Tottenham Hotspursand D&G Orient, has many fanatics talkingand enthusias believe it will be a hard foughtbattle in which no quarter will be given.

Then spare a thought for the Juventus ver-sus Cape Town Military clash.

Likewise the challenge between High-lands Park and Rygersdal and Mfuleni Unit-ed up against three time Jamestown Unitedchampions (1997, 1998 and 2008) is among thefinger licking matches that dare not bemissed.Other fixtures:Benfica vs Young Pirates,

Dunoon YSA vs Glendene United, Langa Cit-izens vs Bluegum United, Heinz Park vs SSSAcademy, Wesley United vs Riverside Ran-gers, Melchester Rovers vs Ravensmead,Kuils River vs Two For Joy, Eleven Attack-ers vs Leiden Fusion Spurs, Florentina vsCape Town Rangers and FCG Hotspurs vsEastern Rovers.

Ashford Athletic eyes topfour spotJOSEPH PILLAY

It is no secret that Ashford Athletic is eyeinga top-four finish.

Their 2-0 victory against Wesley United inSaturday’s Cape District LFA Super Leagueencounter at the William Herbert sportscomplex in Wynberg brought some realityto their aspiration and currently place sec-ond on the league table.

The Heathfield-based side moved threeplaces up, bypassing Stephanian Ottery andGlendene United, who all suffered defeats onSaturday against Salt River Blackpool (3-0)and Ocean View (2-1) respectively.

The much needed victory which was Ash-ford’s eight in the league boosted their

points tally to 26 from 14 assignments.They are way off the pace to challenge for

league honours as Greenwood Athletic mustbe rated as firm favourites to regain thechampionship title from Ocean View.

Unbeaten Greenwood Athletic are the cur-rent pacesetters with 43 points from 15matches following their 4-0 comprehensivevictory against Grassy Park United in Steen-berg.

Meanwhile Southampton in the earlygame showed their opponents a clean pairof heels as they humiliated Devonshire Rov-ers 5-0 after having led 2-0 at the break.

The win gave Southampton a one-point ad-vantage over Richard Mahwayo’s Devon-shire side – which are placed tenth with 15

points from 14 matches – while Southamp-ton are presently on 16 points from 13 games.

Nevertheless, the diminutive midfielder,Dillon Arendse of Devonshire Rovers failedto get the batter of Deon Jacobs and compa-ny.

The Devonshire attacking players of Dan-iel Slingers and Olin Warner could also notcome to grips with their game.

However, Southampton made their pres-ence felt and five goals were scored throughGershwin January, Marcus Mento in thefirst half and a further three through Shah-eed and Sedick Solomons (2).Results:Super League: Greenwood Athletic 4,
