SHANTI JAFTA
A COMMUNITY in Kariega, encompassing over 37,000 residents, is grappling with severe under-resourcing at its local police station, SAPS Kamesh
According to Ward 49 Councillor, Georgen Miggels, the policing area, spanning from Gibbon Street and Middle Street onwards, is served by only two operational vehicles, leaving officers stretched thin and unable to adequately address the community’s needs
Further complicating matters, the station’s communication systems have been crippled by ongoing copper cable theft, leaving law enforcement unable to effectively coordinate or respond swiftly to emergencies across the affected areas
An unannounced oversight visit to SAPS Kamesh Community Service Centre (CSC), conducted by Member of Parliament and Portfolio Committee on Police member, Dereleen James, has revealed alarming infrastructure deficiencies that are severely hampering law enforcement capabilities
Officers shared how both patrol vehicles are often deployed simultaneously, leaving no backup for additional emergencies that can
take up to five hours to resolve
The facility's computer systems remain offline for weeks at a time owing to cable theft occurring approximately every three months, forcing officers to rely on WhatsApp messages and manual paperwork whilst cases must be registered at neighbouring stations when the technology fails
The station's entrance gate has been non-functional for four months and bullet holes remain visible in the detention facility from previous security breaches
Members have identified numerous drug dens and more than ten gangs operating in the area, yet lack the resources to tackle them effectively
Prior to her oversight, James spent time hearing the cries of the residents of Rosedale about the closure of the clinic and they shared their concerns Some residents claim that they cannot even walk to the shop nearby as they are in fear that a stray bullet might hit them as is the case in the area, also stating that hearing gunshots is a daily occurrence in the area
Sharing her observation at the CSC, James told UD Express, "The area that the SAPS members have to police is very big, but resources remain few "
She asked SAPS members present
how many vehicles the CSC and Crime Prevention have, whether there are safes on premises, whether the CSC has detention facilities, how many dockets per detective there are, how many detectives there are and whether those detectives have the necessary resources, information of which was not available for her as the Station Commander was not present during the unannounced oversight
A police member who wished to remain anonymous said, "The criminals have already shot at this station three times Our perimeter fencing around our station is not secure There is a small brick wall just in front of the station where the gate is, but all around the station is palisade fencing, which is not secure Even the gate in front is open and non-functional
“This means anyone can come in and out of our premises, even criminals Our safety as law enforcement is compromised here and yet we have to protect the community and serve them with only two vehicles "
He added that during the oversight, the system was offline owing to cable theft, which means they have to rely on WhatsApp to communicate with those on the outside When asked how long the cable theft situation has been the
case at the station, the members said it has been a recurring issue for approximately four months
This means that when there is a theft, the cellular signal is affected
"People call us but we cannot hear them because the network is so bad The loss of cables means that complaints cannot be registered, documents cannot be filed, and have to share complaints that we can receive via WhatsApp When we need to log a case, we have to go to the Kariega Police Station in Church Street or KwaNobuhle Police Station If they are also offline, investigations get delayed "
Another police member said that the pre-fabricated structure that makes up the CSC has been their place of work for approximately 10 to 15 years and added that they had been pleading to have the whole station fenced with bricks to prevent easy access
"Before the wall in front of the building was erected, they shot at the pre-fabricated detention facility Shootings at our building has happened three times to my knowledge," he said
According to the SAPS spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, the South African Police Service (SAPS) can confirm that the challenges facing SAPS Kamesh CSC is known by the rele-
Bergsigdeelvanbrullendeenjinsbyonlangserally
vant accounting offices and departments responsible
"We need to emphasise that all applications and authorities for replacing or upgrading of resources and buildings are subject to various official protocols and procurement processes which can take considerable time No official time frames can be supplied at this time "
She further confirmed that sporadic cable thefts have taken place in and around the area where the police station is located which affects the station's communication (telephonic as well as computer systems) and electricity needs and productivity “As a user (client) of those privately owned cables, SAPS relies on the relevant service providers for the repairs or replacements of those infrastructures
"The Kamesh Police Station is on the capital works project, planning and design on 2026/27," said Janse Van Rensburg
"The SAPS Kamesh CSC station commander has implemented a temporary and emergency support system to ensure that the public can reach the SAPS station, by placing a cellphone in the CSC This number of the cellphone is 071 475 2295 and is manned 24 hours a day by the CSC members," she concluded

RotaryClubofUitenhageSouth welcomesnewpresident
SHANTI JAFTA
THE Rotary Club of Uitenhage South recently announced Mahesh Karsan as its President following a successful year under Clive Hassell's leadership
Acknowledging the challenges lying ahead, Karsan believes the club can accomplish significant work through Rotary's collective drive and community support
Recognising his predecessor Hassell for his "inspirational work and commendable commitment towards the club," Karsan acknowledged he has big shoes to fill
He also praised the club's key contributors: "Appreciation towards our lovely Rotary Anns is also due The hard work and commitment I have observed during my membership is commendable Much of it is done behind the scenes, but we have sincere gratitude and respect for our ladies – I simply want to say thank you " Karsan's Rotary journey began in 2018 "Giving back to the community has been ingrained in me from a young age As a Karsan, there has been a precedent set before me which is my duty to continue "
His father and brother always prioritised community work in Kariega, a legacy passed down to their sons
"This duty will be taken seriously by future generations, with both my children serving as Interact Board members My son serves as President and was awarded the Rotary Trophy for 'Service above Self' in his matric year "
He added, "This isn't self-congratulation, but gratitude for our blessings and commitment to spreading them "
Despite moving to Gqeberha from Kariega, Karsan remains committed to Uitenhage South
When asked why he doesn't join a Gqeberha club, he responds passionately: "This is my Rotary family Having the opportunity to contribute to Uitenhage's social development is something I hold dear Uitenhage is my home Both my parents were born here, as were my wife, children and I "
Under this year's Rotary theme "Unite for Good," Karsan believes the club can grow through fellowship and increased membership for Kariega's benefit "Human connection and collective action are fundamental to creating positive change and addressing issues around us My focus areas this year are participation, revival and strengthening the club " Karsan outlined three critical development areas: member engagement, modernisation, and promoting supportive club culture
He emphasised working with youth "not only by bringing in new young members, but by modernising our approach "
UD Express asked him a few more questions:
You spoke about "participate, revive, and strengthen" which project will you prioritise first?
"Our 'Winter Nights' initiative is the first major priority This important project collects warm clothing and blankets during this cold, rainy season The initiative didn't take place last year owing to flood relief efforts
All collections will be distributed in KwaNobuhle through a township-based social welfare NGO serving orphans, vulnera-
ble children, marginalised women and disabled youth Distribution to SHARE takes place on Saturday, 23 August
I call upon the Uitenhage community to gather unwanted warm clothing and blankets and drop them off outside OK MiniMark, Mosel this Friday, 15 August, between 17:00 and 20:00 For those without excess items who still wish to assist, cash donations for purchasing blankets are also accepted "
How do you plan to modernise the club's approach through social media?
"We'll keep our current Facebook account (Rotary Club of Uitenhage South) updated I'm excited to announce our new Instagram account (@rotaryclub uitenhagesouth) and TikTok account (@rotaryclub uitenhage)
Social media helps us reach more community members, especially those wanting to contribute but unsure how It's instrumental for promoting fundraisers – informing people when and why they're happening and who benefits from proceeds It allows public involvement in projects, as extra hands enable greater relief for more people in need Our Head of Community Services and Projects, Rotarian Leshae Menezes, will manage these accounts "
Can you give an example of a revived project and how it will differ?
"Multiple projects are being revived this year after various challenges prevented them previously These include Winter Nights, the Rotary Club Golf Day and Bowls Day The key difference is our ambition to organise and facilitate these projects by calling upon local community leaders, businesses and companies as sponsors There's excellent opportunity for businesses to sponsor events – not only for advertising but to give back through different channels These events should be fun whilst uplifting the community I urgently appeal to local companies able
to assist in ensuring successful fundraising events for the coming year "
What would constitute a successful presidency?
"I aim to be organised and importantly, not make unachievable promises – so I'm making none
The Rotary Club is a community service club with a strong record of efficiently distributing raised funds I aim to work with the community towards our goal of 'Service Above Self' – assisting as many people as possible
Looking back at my term's end, I'll be pleased if we continue brilliant participation and donations from Rotary International, strongly facilitated by predecessor Clive Hassell Increased participation from local businesses, companies and community leaders is also a major goal We re ambitious to do feasible work whilst acknowledging tough times for Uitenhage consumers and businesses
However, any donation – regardless of size – will significantly contribute to our club's successful year I thank all continuous donors and sponsors for ongoing contributions
Involving youth through social media is achievable, as is promoting initiatives to raise awareness and funds for our budget Bringing new members – even just a couple – is ideal, as joining Rotary International offers amazing opportunities for personal growth and community service Anyone aspiring to participate in community service is welcome to contact us to 'Unite For Good "
Concluding his acceptance speech, Karsan quoted Mahatma Gandhi, "I am endeavouring to see God through service of humanity; for I know that God is neither in heaven, nor down below, but in everyone "
Karsan added that this message advocates continuing lives of humility and selflessness: "I wish everyone the best in their attainment of peace and purity "

HSDnetbalspanblinkuitbyTopskole-toernooi
DEELNAME aan die Topskole-toernooi is 'n voorreg wat saam met opwinding kom vir enige span.
Vir die Hoërskool Despatch se o.16-netbalspan was hierdie geleentheid 'n besondere hoogtepunt.
By die toernooi het 43 van Suid-Afrika se topskole in twee afdelings, Batho en uBuntu, mekaar die stryd aangesê. Die span het vir die derde agtereenvolgende jaar die OosKaap verteenwoordig – 'n merkwaardige prestasie en grootskaalse eer
Met hul oog op 'n plek in die top 20, het die span hul doelwit oortref deur 16de in die land te eindig.
Benewens die kompetisie, was dit ‘n kans om hul talente te slyp en hul rol as ambassadeurs vir die Hoërskool Despatch te versterk. Waardevolle lesse oor spanwerk, deursettingsvermoë en sportmangees is tydens die toernooi geleer en in die spel toegepas. 'n Spesiale hoogtepunt was die besoek van die Springbok rugby-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus, wat nie net wenke met die afrigters gedeel het nie, maar ook bygedra het tot die motivering van die spelers.
