Police ‘lack resources’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Visible policing, women abuseand a lack of resources werehighlighted at a public meet-

ing on policing needs in the Mui-zenberg Cluster.

The meeting, held by the Depart-ment of Community Safety (Docs),focused on issues affecting theOcean View, Fish Hoek, Simon’sTown, Muizenberg and Hout Baypolice precincts.

The Muizenberg precinct in-cludes Vrygrond and Seawinds.

In his presentation, provincialminister for Community SafetyDan Plato said the meetings wereheld to discuss issues around polic-ing needs in each cluster.

Those present posed tough ques-tions about the functionality of theMuizenberg and Ocean View Com-munity Police Forums (CPFs), theprocedures followed by Docs offi-cials at elections and the popula-tion numbers given by police.

However, acting station com-mander for Muizenberg Lieute-nent-Colonel Lungisile Mbulawasaid according to his knowledge,this was not so.People’s Post questioned why

Docs officials did not attend a re-cent meeting called by the OceanView CPF to elect a new body.

The newspaper also questionedwhy a Docs official stumbledthrough the Muizenberg CPF elec-tions in December last year.

The meeting and elections werehalted as the quorum was not met.During the December meeting theDocs official had trouble decidingwhat constituted the quorum andwas seen making phone calls to col-leagues for advice on procedure.

In response to these issues, Platosaid: “Wewill look intowhyanoffi-

cialwasnot present. For this year’selections the Independent Elector-alCommissionwill assist to ensurethe elections are fair.”

A survey using an electronic de-vice was conducted and thosepresent were asked to give theirviews on policing in their precinct.

The preliminary results of thesurvey indicate the meeting wasmostly attended by people living inthe Fish Hoek precinct. Thisamounted to 29.3% of thosepresent.

Muizenberg came in second with22%.

Responding to questions aboutwhether or not police resourceswere adequate a staggering 83% ofattendees chose the “not adequate”option.

When it came to the utilisationof these resources, 34% of voterssaid they were used effectively

while 32% said they were not. Afurther 20% of voters also said re-sources were under-utilised.

According to the voters, residen-tial burglaries, drug-relatedcrimes and theft out of motor vehi-cles were the top three crimes po-lice needed to focus on.

Asked what they thought werethe main contributors to crime inthe cluster, 46% of voters said sub-stance abuse, while 27% said un-employment.

A further 10% said poor parent-ing was a contributor.

Inadequate visible policing wasvoted as the main reason opportu-nities for crime were created.

Representatives from Seawindsraised the alarm about police notresponding to call outs. In onecase, a man was allegedly threat-ened with a firearm and the familyclaimed they received no responsefrom police.

Plato said they would look intoit.

Closing the meeting, Mark Wi-ley, chairperson of theCommunitySafety, Cultural Affairs and Sportportfolio committee and memberof the provincial parliament, saidpolicing was not where it shouldbe.

This, he said, was a result of aflawed system in the allocation ofresources to police stations.

He said on an average shift ros-ter up to 60% of the police officerson the roster were not available.

“They are either off sick, on ma-ternity leave or on a course.”

Wiley said officers were giventhe difficult task of finding replace-ments to fill the gaps.

He further said neighbourhoodwatches in the Far South did an ex-cellent job in assisting police, buthe believed “civil society needed tostand by police”.

ure, Househam will work alongside Engel-brecht in handing over the huge task of

ing maximum stability, continuity and aseamless change in leadership, Botha ex-plains.“Dr Engelbrecht knows the systems and

Don’t be engaged by ‘Telkom’ techniciansTelkom customers: be warned.The telecommunications giant has con-

firmed social media reports of criminalsposing as employees hitting homes andpilfering valuables.Telkom spokesperson Jacqui O’Sulli-

van says businesses are also being target-ed.The crooks pose as technicians to gain

entry into the premises, she confirms.“The evolving modus operandi of the

suspected criminals is of great concern,”she says.Upon entry to someone’s property, the

suspects apparently steal laptops, cell-phones, cash and other valuables.“The perpetrators arrive unannounced

and claim that they need to upgrade tele-

phone or internet lines,” she says.This spate of thefts by bogus techni-

cians have also been reported in otherprovinces.“The Telkom Assets and Revenue Pro-

tection Services division is workingclosely with the police in investigatingthese crimes,” O’Sullivan says.She advises customers to demand to see

the identity cards of Telkom techniciansbefore allowing themaccess to the proper-ty.“Residentsmust also ask technicians to

quote the relevant reference number thathas been assigned to the customer for afault repair or new installation before al-lowing them onto their premises.”People who have not requested any

service from Telkom should be particu-larly wary.“These basic precautions must be com-

municated to every person who is likelyto be at home during the day, includingdomestic employees.”At the same time, she says the company

does not want thework of their legitimatetechnicians to be unnecessarily ham-pered.However, should customers be suspi-

cious, they are advised to call Telkom on0800 47 47 47 for verification of the ID cardand to confirm employment of techni-cians.Contact Telkom’s fraud hotline on

0800 124 000 or the nearest police stationto report suspicious individuals.

Kite competition enters fifth yearPrepare for lift-off.Local kite-makers are getting creative for

the fifth annual People’s Post Heritage KiteCompetition.Part of the Cape Town International Kite

Festival, the competition sees kite-makersfrom across the peninsula compete for theHeritage Kite Award.Hosted by Cape Mental Health, the festi-

val will be held in Muizenberg on Saturday1 and Sunday 2 November.People’s Post is the print media sponsor.The Heritage Kite Award will go to the

best Swaeltjie kites.These are traditional swallow or bat

shaped kites, hand-crafted and locallymadeusing bamboo, paper or material.The design originated in South-East Asia

and came to Africa hundreds of years ago.The age-old techniques ofmaking and fly-

ing the kites are being shared with a wideraudience thanks to a collaboration between

Cape Mental Health and master kite-makerEbrahim Sambo from Athlone.Sambo has been making Swaeltjie kites

since childhood.“My great-grandfather was a slave from

Indonesia. He taught my grandfather, whotaught my father, who taught me,” he says.Sambo is passionate about keeping this

historic kiting tradition alive.For the past two years he has voluntarily

run daily Swaeltjie kite-making workshopsat the festival. He’s alsomade sure the skillsare passed on in his own family – two yearsago his son Rifead won the Heritage KiteAward.“The Swaeltjie could be the oldest kite in

Africa,” says kiter Greg Mountjoy.“Itwas thought thatAfrica is theonly con-

tinent without a history of kiting, but theseswallow kites have been made and flownhere for centuries.”There are great prizes up for grabs in the

competition, as well as the opportunity forlocal kiters to rub shoulders with the bestkiters from across the globe.Prizes include the People’s Post Heritage

Kite Award floating trophy and cash prizesranging from R200 to R1000.All entrants will receive a certificate.Entry to the festival, which is held at

ELFINDALE

Petty thieves on the prowlCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Residents in Punts Estate, Elf-indale are fearing for theirsafety as a result of a spike in

crime.In what seems to be a spill over

from the neighbouring informalsettlement, Die Gatjie, residentsare on alert as they fear their prop-erties are being targeted.

A resident, who asked not to benamed as she fears victimisation,says a thief came onto her propertyto steal goods.

“We had goods stolen out of ouryard a few weeks ago. The perpe-trator must have gained entry ontoour property during the earlyhours of the morning,” she says.

Her biggest concern is the safetyof her children.

“Most of these crimes happen ona weekend when our children arehome and you always expect theworst to happen. We cannot feellike hostages in our homes,” shesays.

The mother has reported the in-cident to Steenberg police.

“We were told they are aware ofthe rise in crime but somethingdrastic needs to be done aboutthese people harassing our proper-ties,” she adds.

The woman explains thieves usea Telkom box to climb over a fencethat is situated on a corner.

“This gives them free access intothe area and the moment they get

on this box, they are able to seestraight into my yard.”

Since the reports, the womansays the presence of police has in-creased.

Measures were put in place tokeep unsavoury characters outbut this did not help, she says.

“We have seen two sector vehi-cles patrolling the area and thisdefinitely is helping to some ex-tent.”

Steenberg Police Station com-mander Colonel Herman Seals ex-plains Punts Estate falls in Sector1 of the precinct.

He says, however, for the past sixmonths no increase in crime in thearea has been noted.

“Crimes that are commonly re-ported in this sector are housebreak-ins and theft out of motor ve-hicles,” Seals explains.

He confirms vagrants are also of-ten spotted in the area and manycomplaints are received at the sta-tion with regard to the loitering.

“The Gatjie is nearby Punts Es-tate and vagrants are commonlysighted in the area and as usualthey look into people’s dust bins.During removal days, people allaround usually complain about va-grants looking and taking goodsand leave the area dirty.”

Seals says there are variousmeasures in place to preventcrime. “The Crime PreventionUnit ensures safety by means of po-lice vehicle patrols and foot patrolswith neighbourhood watches in

the precinct take place timeously.During patrols, people will besearched for any possible stolengoods,” Seals adds.

V Residents are urged to report crime tothe sector manager Warrant Officer NicoleDavids on 079 894 1545 or the station on(021) 702 9000.

A plea for helpCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Twomonths after their Steenberg homewas gutted by a fire, a family of sevenis still looking to recover from their

loss.The family has since had to relocate a few

streets from the home they had for more al-most 10 years.Moenasura Cassiem says it has been a

struggle for her family to get back on theirfeet after the fire ripped through theirBeethoven Street home.“It has been tough since the day ourhome

went up in flames. It happened just after10:00 one day. I had just dressed my son,”Cassiem says.According to Cassiem her cousin’s girl-

friend connected wires incorrectly in thebungalow home two days prior to the fire.“She fiddledwith thewiring in thebunga-

low. As a result, there was a surge and thewires caught fire. Within minutes myhouse was gutted in flames,” Cassiem re-calls.The fire had spread to the neighbouring

bungalow seconds later and left Cassiem’scousin homeless as well. He has sincemoved.Her only daughter is nine years old and

took the news of their home being burnt

badly.“She cried for almost aweekafter the fire.

She couldn’t believewe lost everything. Shewas especially sad because her skinnyjeans were lost in the fire; she loved herskinny jeans,” Cassiem says.Along with her husband, the mother of

five moved into her mother’s home a fewstreets away in Sonata Way.“We’re living in a one-bedroom house at

the moment and as one can imagine it be-comes stressful. We’re living in crampedconditions and obviously nobody wants tolive that way.”Heryoungest child is a one-montholdboy

and due to limited space at their currentresidence, Cassiem has to sleep on the floorwith her baby.“There just isn’t enough space to accom-

modate us all. We sleep on amattress in theroom,” she says.The family has asked for assistance from

the community to help them recover theirlosses.“Weneed to get backonour feet againand

we would appreciate any and every dona-tionmade. Although this can never replacethe sentimental value and goods we lost inour home a few months ago, we will dearlyappreciate it.”V If you would like to make a donation or assist thefamily phone 084 858 7562.

Watchdog eyes police efficiencyCourt cases thrown out due to poor policework are under scrutiny.This as the Department of Community

Safety tackles performance through itsCourt Watching Briefs initiative whichhelps to weed out police inefficiencies ham-pering court procedures.BetweenOctober last year andMarch, the

Court Watching Briefs unit has monitoredhundreds of cases and identified 71 whichwere removed from the court roll due to in-efficiencies from the police, says provincialCommunity Safety minister Dan Plato.“These cases predominantly relate to

drug-related crimes but also include mur-der, attemptedmurder, robberywith aggra-vated circumstances and rape,” he says.“Of the identified cases, 44% were rein-

stated on the court roll and 39% resulted indisciplinary action being instituted againstthe responsible police officers.”

Inefficiencies identified by the unit varyin severity, from small mistakes to system-ic problems which are brought to the po-lice’s attention for their consideration andimprovement, Plato explains.Some of these include failures by investi-

gating officers to finalise the investigationwithin a reasonable time frame; to have thepolice docket at court; to have the forensicdrug reports timeously available at court;or of the investigating officer to subpoenawitnesses to attend court.“When the Court Watching Briefs unit

identify inefficiencies, a comprehensive re-port is compiled and referred to the provin-cial police commissioner for his attentionand action.”He says reinstatement of cases on the

court roll shows the effectiveness of theunitand ensures a better quality of police serv-ice.

‘Untidy’ areasCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Residents of Ward 72 have raised con-cerns over overgrown vegetation inpublic spaces.

Worried about fire hazards, givingneigh-bourhoods an untidy look and a breedingground for snakes and vermin, residentshave taken their concerns to the City ofCape Town.One such resident is Yusuf Omardien

who lives in Punts Estate.Omardien’s complaint was received by

the City and appropriate action has sincebeen taken to get rid of the unkempt vegeta-tion.“It was really just a matter of the grass

growing so long for about three monthswith no maintenance. It was just very un-sightly,” Omardien says.The City responded to the complaint in a

few days.“I must say they were quite responsive

and dealt with the situation quickly. Wejust do not want it to reach a situationwhere the neighbourhood is hidden behindbushes.”Mayoral Committeemember for Commu-

nity Services and Special Projects BelindaWalker says: “Mowing is done once everysecond month and invasive alien vegeta-tion is removed annually.”A complaint was received about erf 81170

in Willowmere Road with regard to over-grown vegetation.Walker confirms this erf is leased by the

City.“Vegetation on this property cannot af-

fect neighbours as it is enclosed by a highwall,” she says.Another complaint was received for erf

81120 on Willowmere Road, Elfindale.“This erf is a public open space and part

of the Greater Princess Vlei Conservation

Area. The grassed area is mowed every sec-ond month in line with City Parks’ mini-mum maintenance standards,” Walkersays.“Terrestrial and aquatic invasive alien

vegetation is cleared annually. The Typhareeds or bulrush that border the vlei arekept under control by the above mentionedmowing which prevents it from expand-ing.”Walker assures the City has a mainte-

nance schedule to keep vegetation undercontrol.Walker has attributed the rapid growth

of vegetation to the winter months wherehigh levels of rainfall were experienced.“The City has experienced a winter of

high rainfall, interspersed with periods ofwarm weather. This weather promotes thegermination and rapid growth of many spe-cies of wild flowers and grasses across theCity,” she adds.“Grass and weeds in particular, thrive

under these conditions and parks and side-walks can start to look untidy almost over-night. Simultaneously, the annual springflowers have started to bloom in variouspublic open spaces and open tracts of land,”Walker elaborates.She says they are closely monitoring the

areas which are starting to look untidy.“Staff and contractors will do their utmostto limit or reduce any mowing backlogs.”The City has also appealed to residents to

be patient.“The City is committed to prompt and ef-

fective service delivery and, under the cir-cumstances, all efforts will be made to keepour parks and pavements tidy and propertymaintained,” Walker adds.All complaints and concerns regarding

public open spaces can be reported to CityParks on (021) 400 9538.V What are your views? Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your opinion to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

GREATER RETREAT

Housing may be on the horizonCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Roleplayers in the Greater Retreat areahave heard the United Homeless Peo-ples’ Association’s plea for adequate

housing.And the association is determined not to

be pacified by empty promises.Organisation chairperson Howard Soet-

water says they will not be “lulled into afalse sense of security”.“We need to stand up and let authorities

know we have a serious need for housing.Our people are desperate for homes and wecannot let them keep living in undesirableconditions,” he fumes.Last weekPeople’s Post reported on the or-

ganisation’s plans to illegally occupy land ifthey do not receive help from the City ofCape Town (“Invaders warned to stay out”,People’s Post, 14 October).They identified four patches of vacant

land for occupation.The pockets of vacant land are situated

near or in Nectar Road in Steenberg, behindCrestway High School and in Peter CharlesStreet in Cafda Village.Soetwater addressed ward councillors

ShanenRossouw, JanBurger andMaritaPe-tersen on Thursday 9 October.“We had an open discussion and they

heard our plight. However, the meeting de-livered some debate as there were, under-standably, some challenges and disagree-ments,” Soetwater adds.Zelda Jacobs, a backyard dweller in Mon-

tagueVillage, says shehas beenon theCity’swaiting list for more than 10 years. Sheclaims her desperate pleas for a home havefallen on deaf ears.

“It’s terrible living in conditions whereyou have to move your furniture when therain hits. Our metal roof sheets are rotten;this causes leakages at our homes,” Jacobssays.Living in a backyard has come with its

challenges for Jacobs and her family.“My son was born blind. Having him live

withme has proven very difficult as a resultof the conditions we live in,” she says, add-ing her son has been in and out of hospitalfor various medical reasons.“When he lived with me, he would often

fall ill, as our home was soaked and floodedwith rain. That’s not how you want to seeyour child grow up,” she says.Christine Solomons also rents a property

in Montague Village, but wants her ownhome.“When month-end comes and you do not

havemoney for your rent, the owners do notcare. They leave you without basic needs.Nobody can live like that,” she fumes.Solomons also has a daughter who has

been admitted to hospital for various healthreasons, stemming from their living condi-tions.Ward 68 councillor Marita Petersen, who

also serves on theCity ofCapeTown’sHome-less Agency Committee, says the organisa-tion was provided options to deal with theissue within legal perimeters.“Soetwater came to see me at my offices

and explained the needs of the backyarddwellers. The concerns and issues whichmost of the backyard dwellers live with arelegitimate,” Petersen says.However, the organisation needs to com-

mit its proposals to paper so that it may re-ceive the necessary support from counciland the options can be assessed according

to its viability.“The needs of the people are understood.

We understand there is a desperate need forhousing andwe fully back Soetwater and hisorganisation,” Petersen says.“But we can only help them if they con-

struct a viable plan. This will then be put inplace – following a legal route.”Petersen reiterated they will not support

the organisation’s plans to illegally invadeland. “We cannot have a situation wherepeople illegally invade council land.We real-ise the said pockets of identified land iszoned forhousing, but the legal processmustbe followed to get proper housing,” Petersensays.V Share your views.

Fired up over firework safetyLight up responsibly.This is the appeal issued by the City of

Cape Town, which warns that safety is keyin preventing tragedies in the build-up tofireworks season.With Diwali and Guy Fawkes around the

corner, council’s enforcement agencies areonce more preparing for a flood of com-plaints about the illegal discharge of fire-works and related incidents.LastNovember, LawEnforcement confis-

cated 12 865 fireworks from illegal traders.In addition, Law Enforcement and Metro

Police officers responded to a total of 385complaints on Guy Fawkes and issued doz-ens of fines totalling more than R10 000 forthe illegal discharge of fireworks.Mayoral Committee member for Safety

and Security JP Smith says purchasingfrom vendors who do not have the requiredpermits for the sale of fireworks is againstthe law.“It is illegal to discharge fireworks out-

side specific designated areas. It is also ille-gal to buy fireworks from traders withoutvalid police-issued permits,” he says.“Sadly, many Capetonians continue to

disregard the law and end up terrorisingtheir neighbours who have to put up withnoise. The law also matters very little tosome until there is an incident where some-one gets hurt, or worse. But this too doesn’tseem to be much of a deterrent.”On Guy Fawkes last year, the City re-

sponded to nearly 400 fireworks-relatedcomplaints and confiscated nearly 13 000fireworks.“Do the right thing and either take your

neighbours to task if they’re breaking thelaw or report the matter to the City or po-lice,” he urges.“To make matters worse, we also have to

police the growing mob culture associatedwith Guy Fawkes. Gangs of children runaround with paint and other parapherna-lia, terrorising their communities and us-ing this ‘celebration’ to rob and hurt inno-cent people. This really is utter nonsenseand needs to stop.”Eight designated areas have been as-

signed for the discharging of fireworks.Visit the Swartklip Sports Complex in

Mitchell’s Plain, theMaidens Cove parkingarea inCampsBay, Strandfontein Pavilion,the eastern side of the Athlone Stadiumparking area, the Bishop Lavis sports field,Wesfleur sports field inAtlantis, theMacas-sar Beach parking area or the beachfrontopposite the TourismCentre in Table View.Fireworks are only permitted to be sold

in sealed packages, as received from thesuppliers.Children under the age of 16 are not al-

lowed by law to purchase or discharge fire-works without adult supervision.Residents are reminded that anyone who

discharges shop-bought fireworks at thedesignated sites does so at their own risk.All approved, organised fireworks dis-

plays must be presented by licensed fire-works contractors who operate under theExplosives Act and the City’s CommunityFire Safety Bylaw.Fire safety inspectors and Law Enforce-

ment officers, together with the police’s Ex-plosives Unit, will conduct inspections atfireworks display sites to ensure that allsafety requirements are met.Phone the Metro Police call centre on

0860 POLICE (765 423).General emergencies can be directed via

the public emergency call centre on 107from a landline or (021) 480 7700 from a cell-phone.

Irma’s battleto stay aliveNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A 24-year bat-tle for ahealthy life

may come to anend if a kidneytransplant recipi-ent is not put backon the donor wait-ing list.

This is the be-lief of Irma Titus(28), who was be-ing treated forkidney failure atGroote SchuurHospital.

But after fourtransplants, shehas been in-formed that she isno longer a viablecandidate to re-ceive a new organdue to tissue dam-age.

“The worst case scenario is that Imight die next week,” she says.

The Hanover Park resident has beenbattling kidney failure since the age offour.

In desperate need of treatment, thebest case scenario is that Titus would bereceiving dialysis treatment next week.

However, this seems less likely as sheis also no longer a candidate.

This treatment is only offered to thoseconsidered as viable transplant patients.

Provincial health department spokes-person Sithembiso Magubane says thepublic sector is taking a strain with theincrease of patients requiring dialysisand transplants.

“We are facing an exponential in-crease in patients due to the rising tideof diabetes, hypertension and HIV. Weare very limited in terms of dialysis fa-cilities and, unfortunately, transplantrates have fallen considerably due to theshortage of organs,” he says.

“Our unit alone has over 100 peoplewaiting for a transplant and over 30 peo-ple on the waiting list for life-saving dial-ysis. Most patients wait over two to threeyears to receive a transplant.”

As a result of this major problem, thedepartment has developed criteria foracceptance to the Renal ReplacementProgramme, Magubane explains.

“The overriding criterium for accept-ance is suitability for transplantation.Unfortunately many patients are not

suitable for a trans-plant for a varietyof reasons and weare unable to ac-commodate them,”he says.

Titus has beenleft shell-shockedby the news.

“When you’vecome to see thenurses and doctorsas your family, be-ing told they are nolonger able to helpyou is devastat-ing,” she says.

Only able to af-ford public health-care, Titus nowneeds help to foot aR50 000 bill to re-ceive dialysisthrough privatemedical care.

Receiving thistreatment will not

only prolong her life, but also make itpossible for her to receive another trans-plant, Titus believes.

On obtaining a second opinion, Tituswas told despite the tissue damage thereis a 50/50 chance that another transplantwould be successful, making her a highrisk candidate.

Added to this, she says, if she was ableto receive dialysis her condition maystabilise, thereby reducing her risk as atransplant candidate.

“I’ve been fortunate that I don’t sufferfrom many symptoms like water reten-tion, but I do have anaemia which meansI often have shortness of breath due tolow oxygen in my blood,” she says.

Her condition means she had to dropout of her studies and can only managepart-time work to pay the bills.

She has since managed to join a medi-cal aid, but her funds will only be availa-ble in 2015.

“But I’ll be dead by next year,” shesays.

Her friends and loved ones are not giv-ing up yet.

They have established Kidney for aKadre, a fundraising campaign whichaims to raise funds to cover the cost ofdialysis.

Through donations and events, fundshave been trickling in.

However, the income is a far cry of thethousands needed to keep Titus alive.V To donate, like Kidney for a Kadre on Facebookand inbox the page administrator.

Cop conduct under scrutinyMitchell’s Plain and Cape Town Central po-lice stations have received the most com-plaints regarding service delivery.

This as more than 70% of cases referred bythe public to the provincial Department ofCommunity Safety’s complaints centre thisyear have been resolved.

Provincial minister of Community SafetyDan Plato says the department’s Report-a-Cop, Reward-a-Cop campaign, policing com-plaints centre and hotline logged 516 com-plaints between January and September.

“Of these, 33 were resolved immediately,while 68% of the remaining complaints havebeen closed or finalised within a period ofone to two weeks. This represents a 70.7%success rate in resolving policing service de-livery complaints,” he says.

The centre deals with service deliverycomplaints lodged by the public against po-lice agencies. The complaints vary in severi-ty, Plato says.

More than half of the cases related to unac-ceptable behaviour, 17% to poor responsesand 15% to communication.

“It is fantastic to see people are using theopportunity to improve policing service de-livery in their areas. More than 55% of com-plaints are received directly from the publicby means of email or telephone,” he explains.

Plato says he intends to raise the qualityof services received at the worst affected sta-tions with the provincial police commission-er.

“Keep holding the police at your local sta-tion accountable through the complaintsline, but also compliment them on good serv-ice delivery when appropriate. We have tocontinuously work better together to im-prove safety in the province and cannot onlyblame the police when we are unhappy abouttheir services,” he says.V Email [email protected] orcall (021) 483 4332.

PARKWOOD

Rubbish daysare numberedCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Dumping and waste in Parkwood maysoon be a thing of the past.This comes afterWard 72 councillor

Jan Burger submitted amotion for the con-struction of a waste drop-off facility at a va-cant patch of land in Prince George Drive,The motion was submitted to the ProteaSubcouncil.The land is council-owned.“I put themotion forward because the La-

dies’ Mile Drop-off Facility in Constantiawill be closed downas it formspart of a landclaim,” Burger explains.ButParkwood residents claim tobe in the

dark on the proposed facility. Speaking onbehalf of residents, community workerClement Sauls says they are not aware ofthe plans.“Nothing has been mentioned; we know

about the proposal for a waste facility to behoused on the piece of land,” he says.Sauls believes a drop-off facility could

benefit the community and will reduce ille-gal dumping which plagues the communi-ty.“It could have good and bad effects – it

will definitely solve the problem of illegaldumping, but residentswill have to take re-sponsibility for their waste and dispose ofit responsibly,” he says.Sauls claims illegal dumping is “creating

an eyesore” in Parkwood.“Perhaps the facility will give the area

a facelift, but we need to ensure it is condu-cive for the area,” he adds.Mayoral Committee member for Utility

Services Ernest Sonnenberg says dumpingis a concern across the city.“Illegal dumping is prevalent in this ar-

ea. Drop-off sites help to alleviate dumping,as it gives residents an alternative to dis-pose of excess waste,” Sonnenberg says.He confirms dumping in the greater

Grassy Park and Retreat areas is growing,as new illegal dump sites crop up every oth-er day. However, he could not provide the

number of illicit sites, as this would be “al-most impossible”.“The count would differ from day to day

as dumping is very dynamic,” Sonnenbergexplains.He further confirms all activities at the

Ladies’ Mile facility will be discontinuedonce the new facility is in operation. Anopening date is yet to be confirmed.Residentswhouse theConstantia facility

will be redirected alternative facilities.“The proposed drop-off on Prince George

Drive is planned to, firstly, service the im-mediate adjacent communities,” Son-neberg says.“Areas affected by the expected closure

of the Ladies’ Mile site could alternativelyuse theCity’s drop-offs inRetreat,Wynbergand, once developed, also the new PrinceGeorge Drive facility.”A total of R8-million has been included in

theCity’s budgets for 2015 to 2017 for the de-sign and construction of the Prince GeorgeDrive drop-off facility.The development, if approved, will come

from the City’s capital expenditure budget,Sonnenberg confirms.The facility is expected to operate seven

days a week and will be one of the SolidWaste Management Department’s majordrop-off sites.It will accept waste such as clean garden

waste, garage waste, clean builder’s rubbleand recyclable goods such as paper, card-board, tetrapak, cans and metals, glass bot-tles, plastic and polystyrene.No kitchen waste will be accepted.Sonnenberg believes the facility will

have a positive impact on illegal dumpingin the area.“As anyone from any area is free tomake

use of the City’s drop-off facilities, it willbenefit all residents who wish to make useof it,” he says.“Residents are encouraged to make use

of these facilities. The new developmentwill also be more convenient.”V Share your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREATTuesday, 21 October 201410 LEADER

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post

Being a police officer is a thankless job.In South Africa our men in blue are hardly the much-

touted comparative to those cops in other parts of theworld, like “New York’s finest”, the NYPD.And much of this assumed glamour is gleaned from

what people see on TV anyway.The realities are far harsher than most ordinary citi-

zens believe. Cops draw the short end of the safety stick:they get shot at, are lied to, are hoodwinked, outmanoeu-vred and bear the brunt of finger pointing – even whenthey’re doing their job, universally understood as to pro-tect and serve.Theirs is a never-ending job.Yes, there are bad apples as everywhere else.But would you like to volunteer your child for this job?

People who sign up to be cops have likely tried a myriadother avenues for employment and sheer desperationsteers them in the direction of the police service.The only other service industry that is quite as danger-

ous is that of private security.They drive through residential areas on the alert for

prowlers; dressed in multiple layers of uniforms, theystand on guard at business and private premises havingto brave the elements to also protect and serve.Depending on their grading, the pay is perhaps that sin-

gle motivator to keep the wolf from the door.And the unsafest of all these jobs are the souls who

transport cash.The callousmanner inwhich officers of peace are treat-

ed with such utter disdain makes one wonder at the hu-manity of perpetrators.In recent memory, some cash van security staff were

burnt to death in a heist.Is it any way to treat another human being?No crime is committed in isolation. Somewhere out

there someone always knows or suspects someone elseof having done something. The indifference will change,depending on which side of the law you’re on.

Desperate for jobsTo all employers and bosses: How does onegain experience if you don’t give us a chanceto [do so] in your work place?Many young adults are fighting the pain,

because employers in Cape Town aren’tmaking it easier on them.They finish school, [some] drop out, go

study further – perhaps doing an equivalenttomatric just so they could earn a decent sal-ary while others go to university – and sothe story goes.Employers know these kids are seeking

employment so they can live and make lifeeasier for their parents where expenses areconcerned.But do employers even see that from their

point of view? No!They struggle each and every day just to

make ends meet.They send outCVs, hoping some employer

out there gets it and offers us the necessarytraining and skills.Eachandevery single time theyget turned

down.Why? Because they have nomatric or

the necessary experience for that job.How can the youth benefit if they can’t

even get a decent job without being turneddowndue to lack of experience or not havingthat one piece of paper, a matric certificate?Should they lie to just get a simple job?

Claiming they have all that experienceyou’re looking for?Getting a fakematric cer-tificate to get a good job?There are thousands of hardworking kids

out there dying to land a well paying job.Theymight not have the necessary experi-

ence you’re looking for, so teach them!Don’tmake them lie to get a job they really

and desperately need.By teaching someone how to do some-

thing, you would make life so much easier,not only for me, but for thousands of otheryoung adults out there.You have made a success today by having

the company you do. Don’t be selfish andtake away the dreams of others, but helpthem achieve it.YOUNG ADULT

Unhappy at shebeen endorsementI would like to comment on Clive Jacobs’ en-dorsement of a shebeen in the community.It iswell known that shebeenshaveanega-

tive impact on all communities.It impacts on themoral climate of the com-

munity. Furthermore Mr Jacobs should bewell aware of the effects of alcohol on familylife, economic activity and absenteeismfrom work, especially on Mondays.Although he points to the positive charac-

ter of the owner, her business itself is notan asset to families. In spite of the positivepicture painted by Mr Jacobs the negativefar outweighs the positive.

Thank you for helping youthTo Craig Basson of Nu Legacy Funeral Serv-ices and the Jabeez Funeral Services, wewish to extend our heartfelt gratitude on be-half of the youth of Phumlani, Seawinds andLavender Hill for providing the transport totheir certificate ceremony, which had thetheme of a matric ball at Cafda.Many youth never experienced a matric

ball because they left school before complet-ing Grade 12. But your unselfish act of kind-

ness made this possible that their last nightwas a memorable one that will be engravedin their hearts. It is heartwarming to seethat the small business sector partneredwith our organisation to contribute to thesuccess of the Youth at Risk programme.Wealso wish to congratulate the youth for suc-cessfully completing the skills training.We are very proud of you all.

Your SMSes. I think the safest option is to build thebridge. Ismael Williams

. A bridge must definitely be built. It willbenefit all.

. With all respect ward councillor JanBurger, you’re living lekkerwhile other peo-ple have to suffer under landlords. I live onan open field in Cafda Village, where twoshootings took place. I’m a single parent ofthree boys aged 10, four and one. We haveno water and electricity. People are robbedon this field. It’s unsafe, but we have no-where to go. We need help. Mamkeli, I’m in-viting you to come see the conditions we areliving in.

. There will be no land invasions any-where in Retreat and Steenberg. Ratepayersoldier

. It’s fine to get the army in, but they arerude to the wrong people. Gangster gunmenarenot attacked, the innocent people are.Af-ter they left, there weremore new gangstersbecause of them. I saw what they did. Theyswear at people and treat them like dogs.Many policies are old and should bechanged. It’s a new world and generation.We are dying, are hungry and unemployed.The poor are getting poorer. Governmentneeds to do their job. Why are small tuck-shops closed? The owners need to put foodon their table and government doesn’t cometo the rescue.

. Steenberg Police Station needs new of-ficers. Some officers have been at the stationfor years. The community has no faith inthem. We are always asked to be their eyesand ears. They know who the dealers are;why don’t they arrest these people or searchmore often? Only when something happens,they respond. Where are the patrols?

. Can someone please tell me, with sucha large defence budget for a country not atwar, what all the people in the defence forceare doing daily while people are dying eve-ryday because of gangsterism? I pray wenever have to go to war. God help us.

. In Concert Boulevard there are severalbus stopbays erectedby council. It is awasteof taxpayers’ money, because the taxi driv-ers are not disciplined to use these bays asstops for loading passengers.Most taxis stopanywhere, in spite of these bays. Both thepassengers and drivers must insist that tax-is use these stops instead of just stopping an-ywhere.

SOLO ALBUM

Retreat muso lives his dreamLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

The South African music in-dustry is a tough nut to crack.So much so that singer,

Charl “Babyboy” Pilwan had tohead overseas before he found suc-cess.But Babyboy, who was born and

raised in Retreat, wants to comehome. People’s Post caught up withhimwhile he was in Cape Town re-cently.Babyboy left South Africa about

13 years ago to perform in Indone-sia. From his base in Bali, he trav-elled all over Asia as the singer fora pop group.From there he went on to per-

form in five-star hotels acrossAsia, before the opportunity arosefor him to open at the Sands Hotelin Macau, China, the “Vegas ofAsia”, which would become hisnext base.He was performing six nights a

week while trying to complete hisfirst album, and while he wouldvisit Cape Town occasionally, hewasn’t gettinganywhere in themu-sic scene here, so he opted to go fullsteam ahead in Asia.In 2007 he crossed the pond to

promote his music in London andPortugal before returning toMacau.After working in many casinos

in Macau, Babyboy got asked toperform in Las Vegas, America,and now moves between the twocities.He has opened for some of the in-

dustry’s biggest international acts

likeChris Brown,Nelly andNe-Yo.What’s more impressive though isthat Babyboy brings these acts toMacau himself, through his com-pany, Babyboy Entertainment.“It’s tough, but it’s amazing,”Ba-

byboy says of his involvement inboth sides of the industry.His work as a promoter has giv-

en him the opportunity to workwith artists he grew up wanting tobe like, but being a musician him-self means that he understandshow they think.It also means Babyboy is very

busy. He performs six nights aweek, before going home to write.He explains he usually falls asleeparound 07:00, before waking up at12:00 to work on his business. Butworking between many interna-tional time zones means he oftenhas to be up at “silly o’clock” tocommunicate with people duringtheir work day.Babyboy was in Cape Town to

promote his latest single, Voice ofReason, a song he wrote for hismother.“I’ve been away fromhome for 13

years and I really want to comeback,” he says.He will release a new album in

January, but he is also planning torelease a follow-up single in SouthAfrica in the coming months.Although he has released al-

bums with groups before, his up-coming releasewill behis debut-so-lo album.Babyboy worked with music’s

elite on the album, which has beenrecorded in Milnerton, London,Los Angeles and Macau.

“I’m not a one-track mind art-ist,” he says, pointing out that hewants to create an eclectic albumwhere all the tracks sound differ-ent.So far he’s got 37 tracks already

recorded, but is still undecidedabout which will make it on to thealbum.It’s not all work, though. Baby-

boy also got to work with the Jack-son family after performing at amemorial concert after MichaelJackson’s death and says he got toknow them very well.“I’m actually living the life I al-

ways dreamed of living,” Babyboysays, adding that it’s sometimes asurreal experience.But he worked hard to achieve

his goals and it came with manysacrifices, including not being ableto see his family often.“The only reason I’m doing what

I’m doing is because I have to livemydreamoutsideof SouthAfrica,”he says.“It’s too competitive and the cir-

cle is too small,” Babyboy says ofthe local entertainment industry.Cape Town will always be in his

heart, though, and he is working

towards being able to work inSouth Africa where he hopes to al-so be able to inspire other youngperformers.“This is the start of a new jour-

ney for me,” he says.“I’m always going to be a col-

ouredboy fromRetreat; I’m just do-ing something tomake it,” he adds.Locals can get to know Babyboy

by connecting with him on Face-book under Charl ‘Babyboy’ Pil-wan.V Visit www.peoplespost.co.za to see themusic video for “Voice of Reason” whichwas shot in Hong Kong and China.

NEW MUSIC: After achieving considerablesuccess overseas, Charl “Babyboy” Pilwanwants to introduce his music to locals.

HEALTH

Pesky rat problemsIt’s pest season in the Mother City.The City of Cape Town reports it has re-

fined its rodent management strategy to ac-commodate the increase in rodents betweenSeptember and October and then again inMarch and April.Mayoral Committee member for Health

Benedicta van Minnen says council is pre-pared for baiting to begin.“Cape Town is no different from otherma-

jor cities around the world which all haveto deal with pests, especially in the contextof waste generated by an overgrowing popu-lation. Rats and other pests thrive in areaswhere theyhave a steady food supply, storm-water drainage systems and no predators,”she says.Environmental Health staff, assisted by

workers employed by the Expanded PublicWorks Programme, do rodent baiting across

the city and in the last year set up 83 247 suchrodent baiting stations.“Our staff goes door-to-door to educate res-

idents about effective waste managementand how to rodent-proof their homes. Ratswill congregate in areas that are conduciveto their survival, so it’s essential to keep are-as clean through the proper disposal ofwaste and tackling illegal dumping,” VanMinnen says.Where applicable, council institutes legal

action against people responsible for creat-ing conditions that encourage rodent breed-

ing. Other measures include the appoint-ment of waste contractors, provision of ro-dent-proof waste containers , ongoing wastemanagement education and regular inspec-tions of business premises to ensure that ef-fective rodent control manners are in place.Environmental Health has also identified

potential hotspots such as CBDs, publictransport interchanges and beachfrontpromenades.Weekly visits to informal settlements are

also conducted to determine the status of sol-id waste removal, sanitation and rodent ac-

tivity.Block baiting of perimeter sewer drains

bordering informal settlements is also per-formed.“We have a strategy, but we need the sup-

port of communities for it to be effective.This includes keeping areas clean, but alsoreporting concerns around service delivery.If you notice an increase in the presence ofrats, visit your nearest clinic or environ-mental health office for help. If your wasteisn’t being collected on schedule, report it tothe City,” Van Minnen says.Private property and business owners are

also urged to ensure their waste is responsi-bly disposed of and to institute rodent con-trol measures.For any rodent-related matters visit your

nearest Environmental Health office orlodge complaints by calling 0860 103 089.

Ajax Cape Town will look to return totheir winning ways when they hostPlatinum Stars in a PSL clash at Cape

Town Stadium tomorrow (Wednesday 22October).The Cape side suffered their second de-

feat in the top tier of South African footballwhen they were beaten 0-1 by visitors Kaiz-er Chiefs on Sunday. Tefu Mashamaite’s50thminute goal hampered the hopes of theUrban Warriors to remain in second placeon the log.Roger da Sá’s troops, who announced

Huawei as its official shirt sponsor for theseason on Friday 17 October, have droppedthree places to fifth on the table and are oneof four teams on 14 points.However, they can gain points on Ama-

khosi (first on 24 points), Orlando Pirates(second; 14), Wits (third; 14) and Sundowns(fourth; 14) should they defeat Stars tomor-row.But theCapetonians’ track recordagainst

the men from Mafikeng over the last twoseasons puts the visitors ahead. The lasttime Ajax were victors over Stars was inAugust 2012, when they won 4-1 at AthloneStadium.Their last three matches against Allan

Freese’s charges saw them suffer a 3-0 de-feat in May; 0-2 loss in December last year;and a 3-0 loss in February last year.But Stars have been strugglingwith their

form this season, having gleaned only eightpoints from their eight matches. They cur-rently occupy 13th place on the log.The Cape side will want to return to win-

ning ways ahead of their Telkom KnockoutCup (TKO) clash against Orlando Pirates atOrlando Stadium in Soweto at theweekend.The PSL clash against Stars kicks off at

19:30 at Cape Town Stadium tomorrow,while the TKO quarter-final against theBuccaneers starts at 20:15 on Saturday.Meanwhile, Cape Town football fans will

be in for a treat as the city hosts twoNation-al First Division derbies this weekend.Ninth-placed Santos FC will host strag-

glers Cape Town All Stars at Athlone Stadi-um on Friday evening, while Vasco daGama FC will face FC Cape Town at ParowPark on Saturday.Santos, who suffered a 2-0 defeat at the

hands of Jomo Cosmos at the weekend, willlook to better their current league position– 10 points from seven outings – to remainin contention for the play-offs.All Starshavehada rough start to the sea-

son – they are currently in 15th place on thelog and have gained only five points fromtheir seven matches.They were thumped 0-3 by Thanda Royal

Zulu FC at Athlone Stadium at the week-end.Vasco, who will be playing their second

consecutive derby, will look to continuetheir winning ways after they defeated Mi-lano United 1-2 at Philippi Stadium last Fri-day. But the fourth-placed side will face anuphill battle when they take on second-placed FC Cape Town at Parow Park.Both sides are currently on 14 points, but

Vasco have a game in hand having playedonly seven matches.Milano United have dropped from first to

third place after their loss to Vasco; theyhave accumulated 14 points from their sev-en matches.But TheKinneswill have the opportunity

to regain their place when they travel toPhuthaditjhaba in the Free State to take onMaluti FET College on Saturday.Friday’s NFD match at Athlone Stadium

kicks off at 19:30, while all the Saturday en-counters start at 15:30.
