MURDER: HEADLESS BODY DISCOVERED NEAR DEVON PARK
Gruesome find
RICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
T
he body of a brutallymurderedman be-
lieved to be in his 30s was discovered
in a bush in Devon Park, Eerste River
without its head.
The body was discovered on the morning
of Saturday 6 December, prompting an in-
vestigation by detectives at the Kleinvlei po-
lice.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer An-
nacletta Mothoalo said a local boy was busy
collecting wood in the bush on Saturday
when he made the gruesome discovery.
A boy noticed something that looked like
a hand, she said.
A dog that was with a group of children,
starting digging at the shallow grave. It was
then discovered that a body had been buried
in the ground.
The bush is located near a church.
He then called the pastor who contacted
the police, Mothoalo said. The head was
not attached to the body, it was just the
mans body. It is unclear what the deceased
was wearing and if the person had been shot
or stabbed.
The head of detectives at the Kleinvlei po-
lice station said the person had not yet been
identified, but that blood tests and finger-
prints would be done in order to determine
the individuals identity.
He said the process could take up to 12
days, depending on the backlog at the foren-
sic laboratory.
Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana, spokesper-
son for the provincial police, said a murder
case was opened.
According to the reports, the body was
found buried in a grave. However, the mo-
tive for the incident is currently unknown,
Kinana said.
No arrests have been made.

teenoor vroue en kinders word
jaarliks in Desember deur
nooddienste en organisasies
gehou. Daar was verlede Donder
dagmiddag by die brandweersta
sie in Fabriekstraat ook gasspre
kers, wat die mense meestal
haweloses toegespreek het.

A one-year-old baby was discovered
amongst bushes in Eerste River, evenwhi-
le firefighterswere busy extinguishing fla-
mes in the area.
Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, acting
head at the City of Cape Towns Disaster
Operations Centre, said the baby was dis-
covered on Friday 5Decemberwhile emer-
gency personnel was busy working.
He said a fire in Puffer Street, Devon
Parkwas reportedat 16:34.Thearea is loca-
ted opposite the Old Apostolic Church.
He said a fire crew was dispatched from
the Mfuleni fire station.
At 17:09 the fire engine and crew arri-
ved on scene and reported a large area of
scattered fires. The emergency personnel
immediately commenced with fire sup-
pression using bush beaters and spades,
he said.
At 17:23 the firefighters found anuniden-
tified baby approximately 12months old in
the bush unharmed.
The baby was handed over to the South
African police, he said.
The police opened an inquest docket re-
garding the occurrence of the fire as well
as the abandonment of the infant, Solo-
mons-Johannes said.
The fire was extinguished at 17:59.

A new crime trend which involve licensed
gun owners buying ammunition from fire-
arm dealerships and then re-selling it to
suspected gangs, has become a serious con-
cern, the police said.
Julian Unthank, chairman of the local
community policing forum (CPF), issued a
statement last week warning firearm dea-
lers who supply licensed gun owners with
ammunition, and those living in gang inve-
sted areas, about this issue.
Newly appointed Kleinvlei station com-
mander, Colonel Vernon Bester, said the
police are equally worried and want to is-
sue a sternwarning to the licensed gun ow-
ners to stop their actions.
Unthank said: It came to the attention
of the Community Policing Forum that li-
censed firearm owners are abused by
wrong-doers who purchase ammunition
from gun dealers.
He said the selling of ammunition to
gangs contributes to the gang conflict wit-
hin the Kleinvlei police precinct.
The police are currently busy with an
investigation into this criminal conduct of
firearmownerswhowill definitely face the
consequences of their illegal actions.
This is a stern warning for firearm li-
cense holders to act responsibility within
the ambit of the law, Unthank said.

Drugs, gang violence and illegally built
structures.
These are the priority crimes newly appo-
inted Kleinvlei station commander, Colonel
Vernon Bester, currently have his sights set
on.
In an interview with Tyger-
Burger last week the 47-year-
old Bester, who was at the head
of the station in 2006, said he
plans to change the criminal
environment currently plag-
uing the Eerste River.
It is clear the criminal envi-
ronment has changed in com-
parison with the previous ye-
ars, Bester said.
Bester, who had been in offi-
ce for three weeks now, said
drugs, gangs and gang violence
is something he wishes to root
out.
We have a gang strategy that
will be implemented.
Our primary focus will be to
mobilise the community and to establish a
multi sector task teamofwhich all organisa-
tions such as the department of health, justi-
ce, social development, education and trade
and industry as well as community safety
and the City of Cape Town will form part of.
This process will be driven by the CPF,
andwill be focused on initiatives and activi-
ties for the youth.
Bester said there are guidelines for ensu-
ring a safer environment for the Eerste Ri-
ver community.
These, he said, include encouraging a he-
althy family relationship within communi-
ties, as well as to have a good relationship
with ones neighbours.
The majority of crimes that are reported
to the station presently are crimes that are
related to acquaintance crime, he said.
This he explains, refers to people in adomes-
tic relationship or neighbours and friends
that are responsible for the crime commit-
ted.
Bester said in most cases cri-
mes are committed by people
who know each other.
Apart from ridding the com-
munity of crime, Bester also
plans on clean up the police ser-
vice internally.
One of the challenges he cur-
rently faces at the station and
hopes to address speedily is ab-
senteeism.
Whether you are on an admi-
nistrative or operational wor-
ker, we still have a duty to ac-
count for the communitywe ser-
ve, Bester said.
Bester said he wants to chan-
ge the current perspective that
the community has towards the
police the perception that police are cor-
rupt and ineffective.
Another challenge he faces is the lack of
resources and manpower.
It is anundeniable fact that the police are
low on numbers and that is whywe need the
community police forum to strengthen the

About 300 senior citizens were treated to lunch at the Eerste River Multi Purpose Centre
recently as part of the Ward 16 annual endofyear function. PHOTO: RICHARD ROBERTS
Seniors treated to lunch
For 300 seniors it was a fun day to remem-
ber when they were treated to a special
Christmas lunch.
The meal was organised by local ward
councillor Gordon Thomas, at the Eerste
River Multi-purpose Centre.
Annalene Hollaway, an attendee, said
the event included a three-course meal
and a gift for each of the seniors.
Mr Gordon welcomed everyone. The
seniors were then entertained with a
Christmas Nativity play, which was per-
formed by the Community Caregivers,
said Annalene.
It was amazing to see how well they
portrayed their different roles they are
all over 60 years of age, with the eldest
being 87-years-old!
She set the setting of the stagewas done
by the staff at the centre.
Pastor A. Franks accompanied the sen-
iors on the keyboard during the play.
Susan Darries (69), another invitee,
said the day was very nice for her and
it was not about the food, but about mak-
ing new friends.
Maureen Samuels (73), said it was the
first time she was attending the annual
function and that she really enjoyed the
special attention lavished on them.
Some of the citizens come from disad-
vantaged backgrounds; they are really
grateful for this meal prior to Christ-
mas, Maureen said.
Andries Wenn (59), also a first timer,
said the event was well organised and
fun.
The eldest person at the eventwasMar-
ia Siebritz (87), who enjoys the annual
luncheon every year since its inception.
Community leader Levona Coericius
ensures Maria gets her invite.
The luncheon is one of the highlights
of the seniors calendar, said Annalene.

espite a decrease in housebreaking in
Highbury, it continues to remainabig
concern, the Kuils River police say.
Speaking at a community meeting last
week, police spokesperson Captain Isaac
van Niekerk said apart from housebreak-
ing, robberies in the area is also a worrying
factor, especially at the local railway sta-
tion.
Van Niekerk was addressing a group of
residents at a meeting organised by the
Highbury Foundation. The meeting cov-
ered a range of issues currently plaguing
the suburb.
We have established that there are
groups involved in housebreaking, Van
Niekerk said.
He said in one of the incidents thewindow
from a home was carefully removed and
thieves stole what they could get their
hands on. Meanwhile, in other incidents
thieves use crowbars to gain access to
homes.
We have identified five different groups.
Our detectives work in cooperationwith se-
curity services and we have managed to ar-
rest all five of these groups, he explained.
One of these groups was a crow bar gang
of whom one of the members is currently
serving a 12 year jail sentence and another
six years.
When they were arrested we discovered
they were linked to 43 other cases reported
across the province.
They are behind bars now, Van
Niekerk said.
He said housebreaking cases are regard-
ed as a priority.
It is the main crime in the area. When
wemake arrestswemust scrutinise the sus-
pects and question them and this is an in-
struction from the station commander.
We need to know what they had for
breakfast; we also need to oppose bail as far
as possible, Van Niekerk said.
Police see success on the
trail of housebreaking gangs

New IMAX screen set up at CapeGate
Ster-Kinekor CapeGate movie-goers will get
their own IMAX cinema this week.
The CapeGate cinema was the most feasi-
ble option when deciding which Cape Town
theatre would be the first to get the IMAXEx-
perience.
One of the theatres at this site met all the
stringent IMAX specifications in terms of in-
theatre geometry to provide audiences with
maximum immersion. The cinema has been
transformed to include a floor-to-ceiling and
wall-to-wall IMAX screen, superior acousti-
cal treatment and IMAXs projection and
sound technology.
Thenew IMAX theatre at CapeGatewill en-
joy its public opening tomorrow night

Kuils River police were called out to the Ze-
venwacht Mall last week when a client at
a bank apparently started performing,
screaming and shouting.
The man, who is allegedly a mental pa-
tient, entered Absa Bank in the morning of
Wednesday 3 December, said centre mana-
gement.
The individual alarmed bank personnel
when he started shouting.
Centre manager Karla Linder said the in-
cident was not an attempted armed robbery
but rather a customer who was unstable
at the time.
Itwas later established the customerhad
medication in his possession aswell as noti-
ces indicating that he had been to doctors,
she said.
Our security team, centre management
and local Kuils River police assisted in the
process of helping him back to safety.
Linder said the customer was not armed
or a danger to anyone.
All was resolved and businesswent back
to normal, she said.
Linder said while inside the bank, the
man was shouting and performing.
He came into the branch and started per-
forming a bit whichmade everyone uneasy,
we realised it was someone who needed
help, and assisted.
Thepolice transported theman to ahospi-
tal.No criminal casewasopenedagainst the
individual.
It was just someone who needed help to
get to safety, which we did. There were no
issues other than that, Linder said.
Performance upsets bankers

Mfuleni police have warned people to be
alert to thieves on the prowl to rob them
of their hard-earned cash during the festi-
ve season.
In a statement last week the police said
people especially those who collect their
stokvel money should refrain from car-
rying large amounts of cash when travel-
ling.
Stokvel contributions refers to money
saved over a period of time by a group of
people in some communities.
We appeal to the community to please
allow the banks to transfer themoney into
the accounts of the stokvel members.
Each person knows how much he or
she should get. There are stokvels that ha-
ve gone that route and now they are free
from being targets of opportunity-seeking
criminals, Mfuleni police spokesperson
Captain Nomathemba Muavha said.
The warning came days after a woman
who was disembarking a taxi near the po-
lice station was nearly robbed of thou-
sands of rand.
OnMonday 1December the police heard
the cries of awomanoutside the police sta-
tion as she disembarked from the taxi. She
reported there were people who wanted to
rob her of her money.
The woman had about R350 000 in her
possession, money saved as part of their
stokvel, Muavha said.
The police responded to the cries.
They saw the taxi being driven away
at a high speed. The police gave chase.
The taxi was later abandoned by the sus-
pects, Muavha explained.
The owner of the taxi, according to Mu-
avha, reported that the vehicle was hijac-
ked.
A 31-year-old suspect was later arrested
in connection with the crime. He had a fi-
rearm in his possession.
In a crime awareness pamphlet distri-
buted by the provincial police earlier this
month, peoplewerewarned to always con-
ceal cash and theirwallets. Theywere also
warned to not count money in the public;
to do withdrawals at the back discreetly
and make use of the private bulk tellers
when it is a large amount. They are war-
ned to arrange security when transpor-
ting cash for the purpose of stokvel and
when distributing the cash to participa-
ting members.
Be careful with your cash,
police warn stokvels

T
he congestion is not going to get
better, in fact it is going to get
worse.
These were the remarks made by a traffic
official at a community meeting held last
week in Highbury, Kuils River.
Guest speakers at the meeting included
traffic officials, PR-councillor Raelene
Arendse, the Kuils River police, a security
company official and property agent.
ThemeetingonThursdaynightwasorgan-
ised by the Highbury Foundation and held
at the Kuils River Technical High School.
Several issueswere discussed, but the one on
top of the agenda was traffic congestion.
The meeting saw most disgruntled High-
bury residents complain about the current
state of madness plaguing the areas roads
during peak hour traffic.
PeterMeissenheimer, one of the residents,
who have been staying in Highbury for 26
years, said: Traffic is heavily congested de-
spite the fact that the majority of the people
in the area make use of trains and most of
the times the trains are not on time.
Senior inspector, Cedric Cornelius, the
head of traffic inKuils River, tried to explain
the current situation and the way going for-
ward.
Infrastructure outstripped
The reality is that development in the ar-
ea has grown tremendously but that the in-
frastructure has not kept up with the devel-
opment.
The congestions is not going to get better,
in fact it is going to get worse, Cedric said.
He said the biggest problem for traffic offi-
cials at this moment is the project currently
underway near the Zevenwacht Mall.
This is not a City run project, but a pro-
vincial government project. Once this is
done there will be improvement, Cedric
said.
He said the traffic department is currently
looking at a number of ways to address the
congestion.
Chris Davids, another resident, suggested
that traffic officials refrain from conducting
roadblocks in themorning as this adds to the
problem.
Traffic officers at the robots directing
traffic in themorning canhowever helpwith
the problem. This can be a short term solu-
tion to the problem, Chris suggested.
Cedric explained: What we envision at
this stage is to introduce video cameras to
record the traffic offenders and then send
them the fine and summons through the
post.
He said this way they might not have to
conduct roadblocks during peak hour.
Most residents in attendance said the big-
gest traffic hold-up in the morning is on the
Stellenbosch Arterial between the Nooiens-
fontein Road Exit and the R300 bridge.
Residents on the opposite end using the
Van Riebeeck Road route suffer the same or-
deal.
Clement Cornelius, a transport operator
who transport scholars from Kuils River to
the Settlers High School in Bellville via this
route said he often arrive late.
Sometimes I have to contact the schools
to let them know we running late.
I leave the house at 06:00, but at 07:30 we
only get to the R300 bridge, he said.
Pointsmen required
Traffic between the set of lights near the
Kuils River Netcare 911 Hospital and the
R300 bridge, according to the businessman,
is the worst.
If we have a traffic officer at the bridge
this might reduce the congestion by 50%,
Clement said.
Another resident concurred. He said
pointsman are required at the big intersec-
tions.
Mpho Kewana, a frustrated resident from
Stellendale along the M12, said here they too
have to struggle to exit the complex.
There is an integrated transport system
in the city, but when will the MyCiti bus
service come to Kuils River?
It is difficult to exit Stellendale in the
morning. Several accidents have also oc-
curred at the intersection.
I understand people are impatient, often
they are rude. We need an alternative,
Mpho pleaded.
In conclusionCedric suggested that people
consider making use of lift clubs or public
transport.
Hes suggestion was met with some disap-
proval.
The trains are late every morning! one
Highbury resident shouted.
Metrorail has failed us, another said.
At the end of the discussion John van de
Rheede, chairperson of the Highbury Foun-
dation, suggested that an engineer from the
Citys department of roads and transport vis-
it the area to further address the residents
complaints.
Residents rage over rush hour

meeting was arranged by the local Community
Development Forum.

A
total of 66 children younger than 13
years oldwere raped and subsequent-
ly treated at Karl Bremer Hospital in
November alone. And the numbers are ris-
ing as the holidays approach.
This has been confirmed by provincial
health department spokesperson Sithem-
biso Magubane, after a media enquiry
about cases treated at the hospitals
Thuthuzela Care Centre (TCC) over the
past six months.
The total of childrenunder 13 sexually as-
saulted since June stands at a nauseating
278, and the number of children older than
13 (but younger than 16) who were treated
by the caringTCC staff, stands at 422 for the
same period.
This amounts to 700 cases.
Of all these children, 468 knew their at-
tacker, Magubane said.
The annual trend has been observed in
previous years,which shows an increase in
incidents occurring during the first
lengthy school break (in July/August),
Magubane said. This increase peaks inDe-
cember until the school year commences.
Incidents then decrease and the cycle be-
gins again.
Childline marketing manager Joan van
Niekerk said they experienced the same cy-
cle. We generally see a pick-up in all kinds
of calls in December and January. The kids
are partying, the grownups are partying;
there is less supervision of children.
Magubane said compared to 2013, the
numbers for 2014 had actually decreased.
This aside, the facts remained shocking.
The eldest child was aged 15 and the
youngestwas 11months old. Thehighest in-
cidence areas covered by Helderberg Hos-
pital include Mfuleni, Kraaifontein and
Delft, he said.
All children remain psychologically af-
fected by this trauma for life. Therapy only
allows the individual to cope with the trau-
ma. Physical recovery is always achieved
at our centre in all cases since we do not
see severely injured children these are
seen at trauma units.
However, a small percentage of cases be-
come HIV positive because of the sexual of-
fence, which then affects the individual for
life.
Community safety MEC Dan Plato said
the numbers were shocking.
Weare shockedby thenumbers, but also
glad they were made available so we can
show the extent of the problem and that it
ismuch bigger thanwe thought, Plato told
TygerBurger.
We really facemassive challenges in our
communities. Our hope is that the 16 Day
campaign is not just for the now, but that
it will continue on a daily basis so its mes-
sage can hit home, he said.
Children are raped when their parents
are at work.
Plato said in most cases, children were
raped by the very people who are tasked to
take care of them while their parents were
at work, as parents did not have the means
to pay a professional childminder.
Hundreds of
children are
being raped
The 30yearold mother of a nineyearold
child who was raped, set alight and left to die
on a field near the R300 in Delft South in
January this year. The charges against the
attacker have since been withdrawn due to a
lack of evidence. PHOTO: LERATO MADUNA

City plans grand light up
This years Festival of Lights celebration is
themed 20 years of democracy andwill fe-
aturemany specialmoments as the country
celebrates a rich history and how far we ha-
ve come as a nation.
It will start at 16:00 with the build-up to
the traditional switch-on and will feature a
star-studded line-up on the Grand Parade.
Mayor Patricia de Lille will flick the
switch at 20:30 to light up the city, amid a
spectacular laser and pyrotechnics display.
To emphasise the theme and honour Nel-
son Mandelas remarkable contribution to
the country and democracy, the event will
be staged in front of the iconic City Hall,
where Madiba made his first public speech
after his release from prison in 1991.
The free concert will feature a line-up of
performers including brand ambassador
for theNelsonMandelaChildrensHospital,
Zahara, and local favourites such as Ali-
stair Izobell, Alvon Collison, Emo Adams,
and Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebels. The
fresh new face in South African pop music,
Beatenberg, as well as two of the SA Idols
finalists, London and Lize, will join musici-
ans such as Donveno Prins, Jonathan Ru-
bain and DJ Calvin to entertain until 23:00.
The non-stop performances are guaran-
teed to keep the crowds entertained and en-
sure the festive season is ushered in in true
Cape Town style.
We call on communities from across Ca-
pe Town to come out and enjoy the evening
in a spirit of togetherness. This annual
event helps to unite communities and this
year let us pay tribute to Madiba and our
20 years of democracy. I am also appealing
to communities to please enjoy the evening
safely and responsibly, and most of all to
please ensure that our children are kept sa-
fe and free from harm, said citys mayco
member for tourism, events and economic
development, Garreth Bloor.
This year, 2km of rope lighting was used
to create the various light creations in Ad-
derley Street, including the 6m high Christ-
mas tree at the top end of Wale Street at the
entrance to the Companys Garden. The 11
light installations feature iconic buildings
such as City Hall, the Castle and the Good
Hope Centre. There are also images of fis-
hing boats, animals, and Santa Claus.
The Adderley Street and Somerset West
lights will be switched on at 20:00 every
night and will be switched off at 01:00.

As people across the country are left in the
dark due to scheduled load shedding, the
City of CapeTown is determined to success-
fully and speedily implement energy sav-
ing measures.
It aims to start with its internal energy
efficiency programme, which has already
fitted 1 378 traffic signals with LED lights,
a council statement reads.This saves about
9 317 megawatt hours and 9 224 tonnes in
carbon emissions annually.
It aims to eventually save 16 445 mega-
watt hours per year and 16 281 tonnes in to-
tal carbon emissions. The retrofitting
project also saw 41 500 incandescent and
halogen lamps in robots being replaced by
LEDs at cost of R23m; a total of R11m is be-
ing saved.
About 26% of council buildings have al-
so been part of the retrofitting project at
R26m, while smart electricity meters are
being installed at 90 city administrative
buildings, says
