ducted a search operation at the premises atSmarag Farm, off Hindle Road,” CaptainFrederick van Wyk, provincial spokesper-son, said.The farm where it was found is in an area

known for grazing livestock.According to Van Wyk the police entered

a shed alongside the housewhere they foundaman packing and weighing shucked abalo-ne inplastic bags.Variousplastic containersfilled with abalone were also found.“Upon further investigation they recov-

ered numerous plastic bags with abaloneconcealed in the backyard and in close prox-imity to the shed.”A 37-year-old man from Bishop Lavis was

Panel van engulfed in flamesRICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

A panel van engulfed in flames had manycurious motorists stopping next to the roadon Friday to stare and wonder what washappening.The white Renault van stood idle in a cul-

de-sac in Albert Philander Road, BlueDowns, while it was burning.The area is surrounded by bush and is lo-

cated one kilometre from the Blue DownsMagistrate’s Court.Several passers-by stopped to take photos

of the incident.Many alsowonderedwheth-er any occupantswere inside the vehicle.Atthe time it was difficult to determine as theflames were intense and had already de-stroyed much of the cabin interior.

Soon after TygerBurger arrived at thescene two police vehicles stopped to investi-gate. The officers however kept their dis-tance as several parts of the vehicle werestarting to explode.Theo Layne, spokesperson for the City of

Cape Town’s fire and rescue services, saidfire trucks responded to the incident at11:34.He said sparks from a short circuit in the

electrical wiring ignited the insulation andspread to the cab section of the vehicle,causing the fire.“Fortunately, no injuries were reported,”

Layne said.He said one fire engine from the Lans-

downe Road fire station and five fire-fight-ers took about 10 minutes to extinguish theblaze.

RICHARD ROBERTS@richardjohn_rj

Aspate of shooting incidents over the pasttwoweeks in the gang riddenWesbank re-sulted in the deaths of four people.It is still unclear whether the incidents

are related or gang motivated, the policesay.A community worker informed Tyger-

Burger that several people had been shotsince Thursday 24 September up toWednesday 30 September.To date, four of them had died.

“Some are still recovering in hospital,”the community worker said.OnWednesday 30September at approxi-

mately 22:50 police were informed of ashooting incident at the corners of Algoaand Theescombee streets in Wesbank.Here a 22-year-old victim died en route

to hospital. Another victim, a 16-year-oldboy who was wounded in the same inci-dent, is being treated for gunshot woundsin hospital, Captain Nomathemba Muav-ha, Mfuleni police spokesperson, said.

. Two 20-year-old men were shot deadon Sunday, 27 September in Willet Street.

. The previous day three separateshooting incidents took place. “Thesewere attemptedmurders. One occurred inComay Street involving a 17-year-old boy,the other a 32-year-old man who was shotat in Vogelvlei Street and two others, a 25and 26-year-old respectively, in BlueberryStreet.”

. On Thursday 24 September a 24-year-oldmanwas founddead inOuplaasStreet.“He had a gun-shot wound to his chest,”Muavha said.No arrests have beenmade in any of the

cases yet.

Violence increase recorded in Wesbank


After nearly a decade at the Kle-invlei police, communicationsofficer Annacletta Mothoalo is

finally saying farewell.Mothoalo,whowas recently promot-

ed to the rank of lieutenant, will bejoining the George police in the South-ern Cape next week where she will befilling the same portfolio.“I am very excited about this, even

though I am going to miss the commu-nity of Kleinvlei and my colleagueshere at the station,” Mothoalo said onMonday.Mothoalo joined the police in 2004

after completingher training at the po-lice’s college in Graaff-Reinet.Soon after that she was appointed

constable in Beaufort West before be-ing elected to work undercover inCape Town. She also worked in thecash-in-transit unit before joining theteam at the Kleinvlei police station on15 January 2008.Here her duties included communi-

cations head, social crime officer aswell as victim empowerment co-ordi-nator.“I was appointed as a communica-

tions officer as the police took a deci-sion at that time not to allow policemembers to speak directly to the media,”she explained.Throughout the years Mothoalo contin-

ued her studies completing her B.Tech inmarketingat theCapePeninsulaUniversity

of Technology aswell as her honours degreein social development at the University ofthe Western Cape.Despite loving her career, life have not al-

ways been easy for this Free State resident.

“Earlier this year I Iost my father tocancer.“I so much wanted to be at home in

Welkom to be by his side, but had totravel to get there.“Soon after arriving home he passed

away. I hated being away from home atthe time and hated Cape Town, butfound inspiration in a book I read enti-tled Never give up by author JoyceMeyer. This really helped me in mytime of need.”Mothoalo recently applied to several

posts in the police service, includingvacancies at the Khayelitsha, Paarl, El-sies River, Gugulethu and George po-lice stations.In July earlier this year while in Ge-

orge for her interview she also faced achallenge.“Firstly I arrived there late at night

only to find out that the guest housewas not booked.“I had to sleep in a car.“I was also robbed by two homeless

people,” she explained.Despite this, she said she is proud of

the outcome.“Truthfully speaking, I do not know

what I must say.“All of the interviews were tough,

but I am happy with the result,” Moth-oalo said.She thanks the community of Kle-

invlei for their support, especially the localCPF, non-government organisations andher colleagues at work.“I will miss all of them, may God be with

all of them.”

Attacks on motorists frequenting OldFaure Road to make use of the servi-ces offered by sex workers, have de-

creased.This is the reassurance of Brigadier Vin-

cent Beaton, cluster commander for theBlue Downs and Delft police areas.Beaton was addressing a crowd at the Po-

licing Needs and Priorities (PNP) meetingheld at the Mfuleni community hall on Fri-day.The PNP is an annual meeting held in dif-

ferent areas across the province by theWestern Cape department of communitysafety.“Old Faure Road and the prostitutes who

work there contribute a lot to the crime inour cluster.“These women offer their services, jump

into the vehicles of their clients, then nor-mally drive to the bushes of Blueberry Hillwhere the customers then find themselvescompromised and get robbed.”

Police give bush criminals a blowBeaton said the police have taken several

steps over the past few months to stop theproblem.“We are acting on information and I must

say the volume is coming down.“We have been focussing on the issue and

have made some strides.”Oftenmenwho fall victim to these robber-

ies claim to have had a flat tyre or that theyhad to stop next to the road tomake a phonecall when they report the matter to the po-lice.“Why always on that road? This does not

seem to happen on any other road,” Beatonwondered.TygerBurger has reported extensively on

the attacks taking place in the area. To dateseveral murders have also occurred in the

Old Faure and Blueberry Hill area.Police claim many of the suspects in-

volved in the attacks reside in a nearby in-formal settlement.

Drugs high on the agendaDuring Friday’s meeting, attended by all

local station commanders, ward council-

lors, church and community leaders, Bea-ton also touched on drug related crimes,taxi violence disputes, domestic violenceand the important role of community polic-ing forums.The crowd was addressed by Western

Cape minister of safety and security, DanPlato, on Saturday.

‘The community hallbelongs to us all’

The PostBank acount booklet in which residents wishing to make use of thehall have to deposit R400. PHOTO: RICHARD ROBERTS


A group of concerned Kalkfon-tein residents say they tookcontrol of the local communi-

ty hall because the facility “be-longs to all.”The group fighting for the use of

the hall belongs to the EFF, ANCand Agang, Ayanda Ntsabo, wardcommittee member and EFF mem-ber, says.Last month TygerBurger report-

ed on several issues relating to thehall including the facility beingrented out to residents at a setamount as well as people occupy-ing the hall as a shelter.Allegations that only the EFF is

involved, is untrue, Ntsabo says.The group, consisting of twomen

and four women, told TygerBurgeronFriday lastweek that their dras-tic steps to take control of the hallfollows the inefficient manage-ment of the facility by the previousmanager.At the beginning of the year the

hall, located in Mount FletcherStreet, Kalkfontein, has been man-aged by the Kalkfontein Develop-ment Forum. Since May howeverit was handed back to the City ofCape Town’s property manage-ment department.The group, who now represents

the majority of the community,says allegations that they rent it

out for an exorbitant amount ofmoney is untrue. “The hall shouldbe used by the entire community.The leaders here unfortunately donot work together or for the com-munity, so we decided to take ac-tion,”VuyisekaBebe, secretary forthe EFF, explains.The group opened a joint bank

account at the PostBank at the PostOffice, she explains further.“The money paid into the ac-

count is used to maintain the hall.We do not take any cash but askpeople to deposit the money intothe account,” she says.TygerBurger viewed the

stamped bank booklet in which

two signatures appear. The bal-ance for the account to date is justover R9 000.“People pay R400 for the hall

which includes the electricity.”Nosipho Bout, an ANC member,

said the account is necessary. “Thepipes are broken, the toilet is dirtyand the lights are not working. theyard is also filthy,” she adds.Only meetings, parties, concerts

and graduations are charged, thegroup claims. Funerals or church-es are exempted.“If any other organisations try to

do the same we will welcome it. Itis for the benefit of the communi-ty,” Bene adds.

Sy glo noodhulpgaan droom helpRICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

Haar droom is om eendag ’n mediesedokter te word. Maar vir eers sienShaney Scheepers (15) van Wesbank,

’n St. John-ambulansdiens-vrywilliger, uitna ’n oorsese reis waar sy meer gaan leeroor noodhulp.

’n Groep St. John-vrywilligers vertrekeinde vanjaar na Hong Kong in China asdeel van die organisasie se tweejaarliksetoer.

Om in die Verre Ooste uit te kom, het Sha-ney egter heelwat sakgeld nodig – iets waar-aan sy en haar ma, Lavona Scheepers (41),nou hard aan die werk is.

“Ons gaan soontoe om ondervinding op tedoen,” vertel Shaney.

Shaney is lid van die St. John-ambulans-diens in Sir Lowry-weg in Woodstock.

Die organisasie bied gereeld dienste bysportgeleenthede aan.

Hulle verskaf ook noodhulptoerusting enbied noodhulpklasse en gemeenskapsge-sondheid-opleiding aan.

Shaney, ’n gr.9-leerder aan die HoërskoolWesbank, het twee jaar gelede by die organi-sasie aangesluit.

“Sover het ek vlak drie in noodhulp be-reik. Ek wil graag eendag studeer as dokter,so dit sluit aan by wat ek eendag wil doen.

“Ek geniet dit baie,” vertel Shaney.Shaney en nog 12 ander Wes-Kapenaars

vertrek op 29 Desember saam met lede vandie Bedfordview St. John in Gauteng naAsië.

If you want to be part of fighting povertyand making a change through empower-ment, there’s an organisation in Belhar

waiting on your call.The Poverty Relief and Empowerment for

Change Organisation (Preco), situated onthe corners of Arundel and Pontac streets,is a non-profit organisation that addressesprominent matters in the community.Their priorities range from substance

abuse including alcohol abuse, to domesticviolence and after-school care programmes.Headed by founder FahgmeedaAmeerodi-

en, a singlemother of four, it started in Janu-ary of 2003 and still strives to empower notonly the younger generation, but also theadults and those closely associatedwith peo-ple suffering from substance abuse.Ameerodien is also the coordinator of the

victim empowerment project at the Belharpolice station.The organisationworks closelywith other

role players on various projects in the com-munity. These role players include BelharSAPS, SR4Y (Safe Roads for Youth), the De-partment of Social Development, Acker-mans head office as well as the City of CapeTown’s EPWP program for youth.

Focus on substance abuseOne of the primary projects currently un-

derway is focused on substance abuse.“When it comes to substance abuse ad-

dicts, many of us might be confused on whatto do or where to go,” says Ameerodien.“At Preco, addicts or rather clients, are

dealt with the highest quality of care, con-cern and professional counselling.”Ameerodien, also one of the councillors,

encourages parents and the public to comeforward to address such matters.“Manyparents are out of their depthwhen

it comes to ideas on how to save their childfrom substance abuse.“They might not be able to afford the high

costs of rehabilitation, while others couldsay that rehab does not work for their child.“With patience, the correct approach and

determination, anyaddict canbe cured,” shesaid.She also explained that in most cases ad-

dicts are considered the outcast of society,even though they are trying to change orhave been cured.Preco offers the client the opportunity of

feeling theneed tobeapart of something spe-cial – something that makes them returnagain and again.“Every client is important, given equal

treatment and also nurtured on how to sur-vive in the outsideworld,” saidAmeerodien.“Parents should be nurtured in order to

nurture” is a motto that Ameerodien feelscan create a better social and family envi-ronment for addicts.

“Giving parents tools on how to handletheir child is what we are currently address-ing,” she said.

Youth and the effects of drugsAnother high-priority project that they

run in conjunction with Belhar SAPS andSR4Y will focus mainly on youth and the ef-fects of substance abuse.“Abuse is a cycle that partly starts with

substance abuse,” she added.“Individuals whose children are not on

drugs or drinking alcohol could ask whatthis has to do with them. Well, every personin society is affected, directly or indirectly.“An uncle or a cousin, a friend or more

commonly, the neighbour next door, could

be involved in substance abuse. Are we justsimplygoing to cut ourselves fromthesepeo-ple?”The organisation is looking for more resi-

dents from the area to join them in their ac-tivities.“Everybody can play their part from help-

ing to maintain the containers that we workfrom, and the youth can be part of our playsthathave amessage against substance abuseand road safety. If we all work together, itwill make for better and safer neighbour-hoods,” she said.V More information about the organisation is available from Ameerodien on 078 209 7706 or MoulanaZakariyah Belcham on 084 615 1679.

There is more than martial arts at the Ka-rate-Zen dojo in Bishop Lavis – it’s aboutgrowing through life.That is the mantra that has been in-

stilled there by their sensei Kiyoshi Eddiedu Plessis who was one of the foundermembers of Karate-Zen SA in 1982.“You must not GO through life, you

must GROW through life,” says the 7thdan who has been teaching the sport inBishop Lavis for more than 30 years.“At Karate-Zen we teach respect, disci-

pline, self-defence as well as to boost yourself-confidence. We also believe in peopleand their abilities and together we striveto be successful.“Three of my senior students that are

proof of this growth are Ebrahim Abra-hams, Gasant Abrahams and JermaineRoman who have been training with mefor over 18 years and really took the mes-sage of growing through life to heart.”DuPlessiswas also proud of their recent

achievements at an international tourna-ment that was held this year.“Our dojo did very well when they won

more than tenmedals at theKarate-Zen in-ternational championship that took placeat the Belhar indoor centre in May. JudeKock won two gold medals, Tahriq Groen-wald won gold and silver while ShakielHeyns and Zelia Martin won gold.”With all these achievements Du Plessis

feels that there is room for growth in theclub, but they need some sponsorships toget more children taking part.“We would really like to help other

young children who are also interested inthe sport as this would keep them off thestreets,” he says.“There are a lot of youths out there who

are interested but cannot afford it as a lotof parents are unemployed, and we wouldreally like to help them.“It’s aboutmore than the sport – it’s also

about teaching them to realise the positivepotential within themselves.“By assisting them it is an investment

in the future of this community and intheir futures.All formsof sponsorshipwillgo towards their fees and getting moretraining equipment.”V For more information about joining the dojo ortheir needs contact Kiyoshi Eddie Du Plessis on084 586 7651.

Cape Town Tourism has launched the “LoveCape Town neighbourhood series”, a collec-tion of videos revealing three of the city’ssuburbs.The videos are a direct response to the

“travel like a local” trend. This after re-search revealed visitors want to experiencethe places they travel in ways that exposethem to the quirky and interesting featuresenjoyed by locals.Showcasing local hidden gems around the

city, three areas have been chosen for thefirst videos in the series, with another ex-pected to be made in the next three months.Viewers are givena sneakpeak into the localhotspots by well-known Cape Town locals.Celebrity chef Karen Dudley takes you to

Woodstock, with its eclectic blend of old andultra-modern Cape Town; local comedianSiv Ngesi to the cosmopolitan heart of thecity centre and musician Arno Carstens tothe beautiful coastal suburb with the feel ofa fishing village, Kalk Bay.According to CEO Enver Duminy, Cape

Town Tourism is responding to this trend toexplore local haunts by loading neighbour-hood guides onto YouTube.“We understand that we’re appealing to

the main target audience, but also that withthis new trend we can actively spread thepositive effect of tourism,” he says.Direct exposure allows local businesses,

especially the smaller ones, to be showcasedon a global platform, Duminy explains.“This will also allow for a direct injection

of funds into areas beyond the traditionaltourist routes or sites. This will ultimatelylead to increased job creation and a widerspread of the tourist rand,” he says.V The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownTourism.

Mkosi votedthe top player

Thulani Mkosi from Bellville South played a massive part in the success of UWC that recently wonthe Varsity Football title.

Thulani Mkosi from Bellville Southis this year’sVarsity Football play-er of the tournament.

The hardworking UWC midfielder,taking part in his second season of thepopular football competition, garneredan impressive 434 votes from fans.Runners-up were Jeremiah Knwana

from UP-Tuks, who totted up 315 votes,andNWU’s Kagiso Pitso, with 124 votes.Mkosi, who admitted that his previ-

ous experience in the tournament wasa benefit, said, “I knew what to expectin the tournament, which helped me alot in terms of my individual perform-ance. In every match I always gave mybest and tested myself.”Mkosi had already received a few ac-

colades during the course of the tourna-ment, including Man of the Matchagainst WSU and the Samsung SuperStriker Award when UWC secured a 2-1victory againstVUT in round four of thetournament. He contributed to turningUWC into one of the most formidablesides in the competition, and it came asno surprise when the Western Cape

team was crowned the 2015 tournamentchampions, an achievement Mkosichalks up to hard work in training andthe backing of enthusiastic home sup-porters.Other players who had a great run

this season areRoenOctober, a keymanfor UWCwho helped them cement theirplace at the top of the table with someacrobatic saves between the posts; GiftBaloyi, who stunned VUT with a 90th-minute volley to help seal a 2-1 win forWits; and Sipho Sibiya, who snatched awinner for TUT against Madibaz to pro-pel his team to second on the log at thetime.“The tournamenthasunearthed a few

young potential football stars since itsinception, and one of these is ThaboMnyamane, who became the first Varsi-ty Football player to make the step upto the national team,” saidVarsity Foot-ball operational executive Xhanti-Lom-zi Nesi. “Varsity Football aims to devel-op more stars who can one day make itinto the national side and make theircountry proud.”

SAREL BURGER

Om ’n klompie duisend kilometer per vlieg-tuig na jou bestemming af te lê en dan voordooiemansdeur te kom, is ’n gebeurlikheidwat jy niemand toewens nie.

En tog is dit wat die afgelope naweek ge-beur het met die Renostertjies – die o.19-rug-byspanwat vroeër vanjaar ná afloop van dieTony Stoops-rugbytoernooi in Parow saam-gestel is.

Toe die span, met die benaming Rhino’s,verlede week in Ierland aankom vir ’n be-plande kort toer van drie wedstryde, het diegasheer vir die eerste kragmeting, die Lein-ster-klub, botweg geweier om die junior af-deling van sy klub teen die Suid-Afrikanerste laat speel.

Dit nadat hulle maande gelede al deur ’ntoermaatskappy in verband met die wed-stryd verwittig is.Dit blyk nou dat die Iere gans en al te bang

was om die Renostertjies aan te durf, want,sê hulle, ’n klubspan kan mos nie teen ’n

“volbloed-nasionale span” speel nie!Endit is hierwaardie lagwekkende syvan

die Ierse treurmare opduik.Hierdie “nasionale” Rhino’s-span is bloot

’n uitnodigingrugbyspan bestaande uit 24vrywilligers wat aan die April-toernooi opdie velde van die HS Tygerberg deelgeneemhet.Daar is 14 spelers van Tygerbergse skole

in die toerspan, met die sterkste verteen-woordiging deur De Kuilen (5 spelers), HSTygerberg enHSParow (3 elk), asook spelersvan Stellenberg, Tableview en Jan Kriel-skool.Die ander 10 spelers is grootliks van Bo-

landse skole.Louis vanStraaten enStokkiesTruter van

die HS Tygerberg bestuur die span wat afge-rig word deur Kuyper Albertyn van die HSDe Kuilen.Die spanbestuur was vol vertroue dat die

ander tweewedstryde – teenRoscreaCollegein Tipperary en die Naas-klub in Dublin –wel nog hierdie week sal plaasvind.

Iere toe bang vir Renostertjies

STEHAN SCHOEMAN

At the age of 17, Kyle AppelHaupt (Brackenfell HighSchool) is making a name for

himself as a sprinter on the worldstage.

Kyle is the TygerBurger Sportstarof the Month winner.

Earlier this year Kyle ran the200m in a time of 20:57 at the WorldYouth Athletics championship inColumbia, winning a silver medal.What makes this achievement evenmore remarkable is the fact that thistime was the second fastest time(youth) in the world ever and theeighth fastest time in history over-all, with Jamaican icon Usain Boltthe world record holder with 19:19.“Running that time was massive

formyconfidence. It showedme thatI am good enough to compete withthe best in the world and it only

drives me to work harder and im-prove on my times.“I have to thankmy coach,Marcel

Otto. We train five days a week. Wemakeagood teamand it shows in theresults. It makes things easier whenyouhave a good support structure athome as well. I am truly blessed,”said Kyle.Kyle represented Western Prov-

ince junior rugby, but soon realisedthat the track was his forte.

“I do the 100m and 200m, and atour school meetings I also do the400m for fun, but my focus is theshorter distance. I would have to saythat the 200m is my favourite as I al-ways pick up speed late in the race.“This year has been a good one for

me. At the Athletics South Africachampionship earlier this year inBloemfontein I won silver in the 100m and gold in the 200m and gold inthe 4x100m relay. At the African

Youth championship in Mauritius Iwon silver again in the 100m and Iam very proud of our gold medal inthe relay.“It is an honour for me to be cho-

sen as the TygerBurger Sportstar ofthe Month; I am truly humbled.Thank you!” said Kyle.It is a dream for Kyle to represent

his country at the Olympic Gamesand to win a gold medal.For now, the focus is on theWorld

Youth championship in Russia nextyear.Bosman,McNulty andDuToit Op-

tometrists gave him a pair op sun-glasses of his choice. Hennie Bos-man from the Welgemoed Kyokush-in-kan dojo spoiled him with aR1 000 prize and Dr Costa Kapniasfrom Ready Room in Willowbridgewill give him a few sport scientificsessions to ensure his body per-forms at its peak.
