esidents, young and old blocked entrances into Hanover Park, singing “Ons is gatvol” in a quest to raise their concerns about gangsterism in the area.

As they took to the streets on Wednesday 3 July, irate residents claimed gangs have taken over the ownership of the area.

One of the protest organisers Mansorer Arendse said, as residents, they have had enough of the gangsters. He claimed they terrorise everyone in the area.

He said they did not ask for anyone’s goahead for the protest, but they want the national minister of police Bheki Cele to attend to the “urgent matter of gangsterism”.

“We are also doing this to get the attention of the police to improve availability and visibility in the area,” explained Arendse.

He said they will stage more and more protests until they see that there is a difference in terms of crime or they get the attention they are seeking.

Residents said the march was not just about them but their children. They said children have become prisoners in their own area.

According to them, they have to be indoors as early as 17:00 because shootings just erupt without warning and innocent people die daily.

Veronica Paulse, a resident, recounted how she lost her husband last year and 29year-old grandson two years ago.

Her grandson was shot while on his way to visit his girlfriend, while her husband was killed on his way to the clinic.

“My husband went to the clinic to fetch my medication, he came back to eat because it was full there, when he went back he was

shot,” remembered Paulse. She alleged her sweetheart was killed by gangsters and a case of murder was opened.

According to her, the case never bore any fruits and that the perpetrators are still roaming the streets. Without disclosing much about the case, she said lack of witnesses contributed to the case not bringing the killer to book.

“One of the problems in this area is that people are afraid to speak even if they saw something. They fear for their safety,” she explained.

She said she is heartbroken because her husband was a community man and that he did not deserve to die the way he did. She said the protest is also for those who passed on, that they are not forgotten and it does not have to stay like this.

Joining in the strike were taxi drivers even though they had some complaints.

Rasheed Abrahams, a taxi driver, said they are just as sick and tired of crime in the area but lashed out at the organisers for not consulting them about the strike.

He said the strike, in a way, is threatening the same mothers who get robbed by gangsters in the morning. He used the example of reported intimidation that happened. According to him, some women were instructed to get out of a taxi by striking members of the community.

“Yes, mothers and fathers are getting mugged in the mornings when they go to work.

“We witness it every day but we were never consulted about this hence our taxis are operating,” said Abrahams.

He said they felt they were treated as uneducated people and they wish for another protest but with proper planning that includes involving them in the planning stage.

TABLE MOUNTAIN

Cableway closed for now T

he Table Mountain Cableway closed yesterday, Monday 8 July for scheduled annual maintenance which will run until Sunday 18 August.

The six-week shutdown sees the cableway’s internal technical staff working alongside riggers and equipment experts from Switzerland.

Their work includes a mechanical overhaul of the rotating floors and cabin door mechanisms in the cable cars, and the replacement of the heel and haul ropes, which pull the cable cars up and down the moun-

tain. “Our maintenance schedule aligns with the highest global cableway standards set by the Swiss Governing Body for Cableways (BAV),” says the Cableway’s technical manager, Emile Streicher.

“According to this standard, the cars require an overhaul every six years because they carry load at high altitude. Similarly, the heel and haul ropes have a limited lifetime.”

The team will also service the main gearbox, generators, backup generators, and conduct electrical drive, hydraulics and

Report organisations who exploit children The provincial minister of social development Sharna Fernandez calls on society to help in the fight against child abuse and neglect by reporting organisations who compromise or exploit vulnerable children in the province.If a child is found to be in need of care and protection in terms of the Children’s Act, a Child and Youth Care Centre (CYCC) is one of the care options for the placement of the child. “In the Western Cape, we have 54 registered CYCCs run by non-profit organisations, of which the department partially funds 53, in order to facilitate the provision of a continued services that promote the well-being of children, and build the resilience of families and communities to care for and protect their children,” she says.

There are currently 2892 children in the province in the care of CYCCs, which is a pivotal part of development according to Fernandez, as it provides holistic alternative care to children in need of care and protection, from birth to adulthood.

Since there are children for whom foster

care cannot be found, or is not suitable due to their special care needs, these children need to be cared for in these non-profit CYCCs. “The department cannot be at each and every centre on a daily basis and although certain monitoring tools are in place, there are still cases, albeit not many, where staff within a CYCC or the management of a CYCC are found to be guilty of ill-treatment, abuse or exploitation of the vulnerable children in their care.

“These children are then later integrated into community schools, churches or volunteer programmes where community-based agencies and individuals may become aware of these acts against children. In such instances, it is of paramount importance that this should be reported to the department, in order to protect the children,” says Fernandez.

She provides tips for the public and donors who provide support to CCYCs . verify whether the centre you would like to make a donation to, is registered by the Department of Social Development

Going digital with building plans, land applications The City of Cape Town have begun to only accept online submissions of building plans and land use applications since Monday 1 July.

Residents, government departments and professionals submitting development applications are reminded to register for the City of Cape Town’s online e-Services, as soon as possible.

Government departments, residents, and professionals have been able to submit building plans and land use applications via the City’s e-Services portal since 2015 when the Development Application Management System (DAMS) was introduced.

The transition from paper to digital has been a long journey and the City’s Development Management Department set 1 July as the deadline for becoming fully digitised.

The department has, over the past few months, prepared and trained City officials, set up public workstations, and communicated with applicants and the public to ensure the transition happens as efficiently as possible.

Mayco member for spatial planning and environment Marian Nieuwoudt said the City wants to embrace the digital information age and the advantages that this technology offers them to become a smarter, faster and a more forward-thinking and competitive City.

As of Monday 1 July district office counters had been replaced by the City’s e-Services portal.

t is going to be a long winter for the Lukas family from Hanover Park after they were allegedly ordered to vacate a house they have been living in for over 30 years.

Frans Lukas, his wife Johanna and their son Henry (29) with other family members (sister-in-law’s children and grandchildren) have been forced to squeeze into a small shack in the area.

The family says they were forced out of the house because it was sold without their knowledge.

According to the family, the house belonged to Johanna’s late mother and she had apparently left it for one of Johanna’s sisters.

Johanna says her sister sold the house without her knowledge and they were left destitute.

According to her, a total of eight people were occupying the house. They have since scattered; some now living with relatives.

. submissions can be made from anywhere in the world, be it from your study or another country; . there is no need to commute or drive to a district office to submit an application by hand; . there is no queuing or scanning of documents; . it is paperless and helps to save the planet; . applicants can monitor and track the progress or status of their applications at any time from any place; . it enables instant electronic communication between the City and the applicant during the assessment process.

“Many residents have already made the transition from manual to online. Currently, up to 72% of building plan applications and 66% of land use applications are submitted through the City’s e-Services portal. We’re now requesting other applicants to also make the switch,” said Nieuwoudt.

The drive to become 100% digitised will not exclude those without internet access, that is why each one of the City’s district planning offices has workstations available for public use.

“Officials will also be able to assist residents to register for e-Services and to use City resources to access e-Services for the submission of applications.

“Nobody will be excluded. I encourage residents and professionals to make use of the registration drive to get registered,” said Nieuwoudt.

The department, along with officials from the City’s Revenue Office, hosted an e-Services registration drive on Thursday 4 July.

Report all crimes Athlone police officers are encouraging the public to help with crime investigations and get rewarded for it.

Police protect the identity of anyone who will help with leads and if the information

“Some of my family members that were in the house are now with my husband’s family because the shack is small and cold,” explains Johanna.

She says those who are with relatives only come to the shack during the day to have meals, then return to sleep by the relatives.

Johanna says she has challenged the decision (sale of the house) and has approached a lawyer.

Johanna’s plea is for people to help where they can as no one is working and her husband is sick.

They all depend on Frans’ social grant money.

Frans says he felt “very bad” when they were served with the court order to vacate the house.

He says they had no option but to abide with the law.

“We do not really have privacy here because there is no room and we also pay rent,” said Frans.

He and wife say they thank their landlord for giving them a place to stay at the back.

Amounts of the reward vary, depending on the nature of the case and effectiveness of the information.

CITY FACILITIES

Facilities increase access SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA SihleMusic

R

esidents can access any City of Cape Town facilities provided that they follow the due processes.

This was clarified after an Ottery resident, Keith Blake organised a meeting with Neo Mkwane, a City’s community liaison officer, to answer some of the questions asked by the community about accessing facilities.The pair met at Blake’s house on Thursday 4 July.

Blake, a community activist, says residents from different areas asked him questions about accessing the community facilities such as halls. He then decided to invite an official from the City to give answers.

Blake, a retired police officer who is also a community development diehard, said people expressed confusion with the system that needs to be followed when they book community halls.

He said he received calls from people in areas such as Lansdowne, Pelican Park and even Retreat who had questions about the facilities available to them and also sports fields for community events.

As he is not a City official, he decided to invite someone who was in a better position to explain the process. “People do not know how to approach the authorities on how to use the halls. They end up hosting community meetings in their backyards,” he claimed.

He said the other issue was that of red tape, where there is a long and tedious process to be followed for people to access the facilities, and according to him, that is unfair.

Mkwane said the process was simple. He added all that is necessary is for residents to communicate with their ward councillors. He said if the community is having issues with their community leaders, they can contact him directly. Explaining the matter at hand, he said the City offers a wide range of opportunities for residents, public benefit and community, based non-profit organisations to access facilities at discounted rates or on a free usage basis. “This, however, is subject to the success of their free usage application. The city facilitates free usage over a recommended two-week period. Forms are available at subcouncil offices and with respective ward councillors.

Similarly, organisations that require any fi-

nancial assistance from the City must undertake the ‘Grants in Aid’ (GIA) application process which opens for applications on an annual basis,” he explained.

An application form for GIA funding is available online on the City’s website.

According to Mkwane, GIA is also subject to the success of the application and he added the mayor’s office facilitates all container donation requests. In addition, he emphasised the city would like to process all applications to use facilities submitted as soon as possible.

“We always advocate for 48 hours and a weeks time you will get a notification,” he explained.

He also explained he will not speak on behalf of ward councillors and how they respond to emails. He says people have their own ways of working, and situations and priority levels of emails matter.

His message to people is to keep record of all communications with their City leaders so that if there is dissatisfaction it can be

dealt with. He emphasised the facilities are there to be used by communities, it is just that proper processes have to be followed.

“There is absolutely no reason why our community organisations cannot access our facilities, provided they have been booked,” he added.

Monique Valentine, who works as a media liaison officer for Aylesbury Place Community, lashed out at some ward councillors whom she did not name for not responding to emails and not communicating with residents about facilities.

Valentine is one of many community members who have made contact with Blake about accessing facilities. She said she appreciated the meeting as it has given a clear explanation.

Valentine revealed they, as an organisation, have all the paper trail of all the communication with her community leaders when they wanted to use a park and were never given a go-ahead.

WORLD REFRIGERATION DAY

Green cooling solutions take lead T

he first annual World Refrigeration Day, which aims to raise the profile of the important contribution that refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps make globally, took place on Wednesday 26 June.

Two weeks ago, the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, in partnership with Free State of Bavaria, hosted a technical workshop on transitioning from fluorinated gases to green cooling solutions.

The industrial refrigeration and air conditioning sector contributes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to fluorinated gases as refrigerants. These gases have high global warming potentials that are up to several thousand times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2). They can leak into the atmosphere during operation, servicing or when an appliance is recycled or scrapped.

Advocating for a more resilient and sustainable environment, the department is encouraging the switch to energy efficient and

climate-friendly cooling technologies.

The partnership with Bavaria saw the establishment of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) project to reduce emissions of harmful refrigeration chemicals to the atmosphere, in line with the 2016 Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol: Hydrofluorocarbons Phase-down.

The two governments and other partners have since launched a training series (cool training) for international refrigeration and air conditioning specialists.

The course will assist RAC experts, trainers and technicians to gain a competitive edge by staying up-to-date on and working in accordance with current regulations and standards while at the same time leap-frogging unsustainable technologies and refrigerants, such as HFCs (e.g. R134a).

Meeting discusses crime Minister of Community Safety, Albert Fritz, held a meeting at the provincial offices with key stakeholders on Thursday 27 June.

The meeting was to discuss the recent and ongoing surge of gang violence and crime in the province and this was announced in a statement on the same day. A number of interventions were outlined to address ongoing gang violence.

The meeting was attended by acting provincial Commissioner Major General Mpumelelo Manci, Major General Jeremy Veary, SAPS officials, mayco member for safety and security JP Smith and Metro Police.

According to the statement, between November 2018 and May 2019, there were 2302 recorded murders and the majority of these murders were gang-related.

In the statement Fritz strongly emphasised the need for a comprehensive and cooperative response to gang-related crime.

He reminded attendees that poorer communities faced the brunt of this violence and that he would use all the instruments at his disposal to ensure communities become safer.

“The meeting focused on addressing the major bottlenecks that mitigated against more effective coordination, cooperation and joint planning between SAPS, Metro Police, DOCS (Department of Community Safety) and other law enforcement agencies. In this regard, there was agreement to urgently

address immediate deployment of senior SAPS officials to the Traffic Management Centre (TMC) where much of the crime related CCTV footage of the City is coordinated and analysed,” he said.

He said it was also agreed to rapidly improve the workings of the various priority committees of the Provincial Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure – a key structure aimed at establishing stabilisation and normalisation.

“The meeting also discussed various strategies to address the ongoing issue of the proliferation of illegal firearms and the seemingly unchecked availability of ammunition, much of which is procured via gun shops using sports hunting licenses.”

As part of an effort to bring more change, Fritz said he would be studying gun legislation to identify gaps that could limit guns and ammunition from falling into the hands of criminals.

“Minister Fritz further indicated that the Provincial response to the National Anti -Gang strategy had been drafted and was currently out for comment from various stakeholders. The final draft would soon be presented to Cabinet for ratification,” read the statement.

Fritz said he was pleased that he met SAPS leadership in the province. “I welcome the SAPS pledge to collaborate with the City of Cape Town’s Safer Cities Project,” he said.

City trims trees, keep lights on In preparation for winter and ongoing maintenance, approximately R15m was spent across the city.

This money went into the trimming of trees in various areas, including the Wynberg, Muizenberg, Mowbray, Parow, Helderberg, Bloemhof and Oostenberg depot distribution areas, where tree encroachment on overhead power lines is common.

The City’s electricity generation and distribution department focused on ensuring that tree encroachment on overhead power lines is minimised as this is a big cause of electricity outages, especially when the stormy weather hits.

Work has also been done to address the problem of open pole top boxes to prevent water ingress which also contributes to outages in winter in various areas including the Gugulethu and Mitchell’s Plain depot distribution areas.

Further efforts also include general maintenance of power lines and converting overhead power lines to underground power lines where necessary.

Mayco member for energy and climate change Phindile Maxiti says: “Much of the infrastructure maintenance work is done in the summer months to ensure that infrastructure is in good condition to meet the winter peak usage demand under normal circumstances.

“All generation units at the Steenbras Dam are also available for use during the winter season following an extensive maintenance period over the summer months.”

This is to avoid possible inconvenience to residents during stormy weather.

“The City encourages property owners to maintain their trees and vegetation,” Maxiti says.

“However, should there be any doubt that there would be a risk of contact with overhead lines, residents are encouraged to report vegetation encroaching”.

HEALTH

SA ill-prepared for flu season M

ost medium-size companies are losing up to 105 days a year due to staff calling in sick because of common cold or flu since the majority of South Africans seem to be ill-prepared for the health challenges that the winter typically brings.

As found in a survey conducted by colds and flu medicine supplier, Pharma Dynamics, many South Africans don’t feel it necessary to improve their health habits to stave off infection.

The survey, which aimed to determine how “prepped” South Africans are for this year’s colds and flu season, found that a staggering 64% couldn’t be bothered to eat healthier by increasing their intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, 80% haven’t gone for the flu-jab and six out of 10 don’t implement proper hygiene practices, such as regular hand-washing.

Of the 1800 South Africans that participated in the online poll, three quarters won’t be going to bed earlier to get in their eight hours of rest and less than half are boosting their immunity with multivitamins and health tonics.

Annemarie Blackmore, antimicrobial manager for Pharma Dynamics, says studies show

that people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to catch a cold after being exposed to the virus, which can also delay their recovery.

“When we sleep, our bodies release proteins called cytokines which promote sleep and help fight infection. Too little sleep may decrease the production of both cytokines and infectionfighting antibodies, which the body needs, especially when battling a cold. Washing hands regularly with soap and water for 20 seconds will also help to limit the distribution of colds and flu viruses that are mostly transmitted by our hands,” she says.

According to the survey, 85% of respondents said they didn’t think it was important to keep their hands away from their faces either, but Blackmore says it’s the easiest way of getting sick.

“People usually catch colds when they rub their eyes or noses after their hands have been contaminated with the virus that they’ve picked up from other people or contaminated surfaces. If you are around a colleague or friend that is ill, ask them to cough into a tissue or their elbow to avoid the spreading of germs.

Teach children the same prac-

tice,” she says.

As far as stocking up the medicine cabinet goes, 61% won’t be buying any colds and flu medication to keep handy in case of an emergency and less than 4% will be cleaning humidifiers and checking whether other equipment, such as thermometers are still in good working condition.

“While stockpiling medicine is never a good idea,” remarks Blackmore, “having a supply of pain and fever medication – for both adults and children, antihistamines, a nasal decongestant, expectorant, throat spray and an electrolyte mix are all winter essentials that should be stored in a safe place. It’s usually in the middle of the night that you need it most and when you’re feeling under the weather, the last thing you want to do is to venture out into the cold to get supplies from the pharmacy.”

“It’s also a good idea to stock the pantry with enough food and the freezer with a few pre-cooked meals for when colds and flu symptoms strike.

If you have young children, have an action plan in place by lining up support ahead of time to ease the stress of having to secure babysitters at the last minute,” advises Blackmore.

SHINING BRIGHT: Fidelity ADT won big at this year’s PMR.africa Western Cape Provincial Survey Business Excellence Awards with two Diamond Awards – the highest accolade – as first overall in the “Companies doing most to fight crime” and in the “Outstanding Security Companies” categories.

Safety should be top priority When visiting a bereaved family in Uitsig some weeks ago, I was struck by how gangsterism, criminality and criminal impunity are undermining the sense of safety and security of families and entire communities. While I was there, I was told not to stand outside the boundary walls of the house as I would be in the “firing zone”. I was told that the abandoned building in front of the bereaved family’s home was often used as a hiding spot for rival gangs before a shoot out. I was told that residents of this particular street knew the cars and license plates of each resident because if a “different” car pulled up, this could very well mean that bullets were about to start flying.

Uitsig and the experiences of this family are a microcosm of a rapidly deteriorating situation in many communities across the province, particularly in the so-called 23

gang stations. It is for this reason that I am working tirelessly to put together, in partnership with my department, communities and other levels of government; a comprehensive and sustainable set of measures aimed at building safer communities. However, we cannot begin building safer communities if the perpetrators of crime are allowed to operate without consequence.

For this reason, the provincial government has supported the call from communities to deploy the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), not for purposes of cheap political point-scoring, but because the first responsibility of the state is to provide the conditions for the safety of its citizens. The deployment of the army as a peacekeeping force on the Cape Flats would free up police to do investigative work that will help put syndicates, gang leaders, drug dealers and murderers who terrorise our people daily, behind bars. The argument that the SANDF is not trained to fight crime is simply a red-herring.

An import part of the work I do is engaging with communities to determine what makes them feel unsafe.

What has been made clear to me is that communities feel a lack of police presence and visibility. They are frustrated by the time it takes for police to arrive on the scene and they are angry with the inequitable allocation of police resources. Our communities’ sense of safety and trust in policing will only be restored when police resources are mobilised consistently. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case.

Despite this, I want to acknowledge the brave officers who work tirelessly, often putting their lives at risk, to make our province safer. Many of my intended measures as the (provincial) minister of community safety aim to support the great work done by police.

Some of these include collaborating with police and Metro Police on the neighbourhood watches programme and Community Policing Forums (CPFs) to strengthen community trust, support and cooperation.

Above all, we need to find creative and sustainable ways to prevent our young people from a life of gangsterism.

We need them to see that a life as a gangster is not a desirable path. When visiting communities across the province, I often notice young children playing without adult supervision, some during school hours. These children are often targeted by gangsters and drug dealers as runners or shooters. We need a “Whole of Society Approach” to rebuild safer communities. We can no longer turn a blind eye and say that such matters are not our responsibility.

As we approach the upcoming CPF elections, I look forward to interacting with candidates who will build fruitful relationships with both their local neighbourhood watches and police to root out crime. In turn, individuals who notice crime must immediately report this to the police. Meanwhile, my department will continue to provide oversight over police to ensure that they are a trustworthy institution, working for the good of the community.

After one month in my role as minister for community safety, I believe that through coordinated efforts, using all of the tools at our disposal, we can get the province back on track and drastically reduce the influence of gang criminality. Our commitment in this regard is to continue working to restore relationships and rebuild trust between communities and those stakeholders tasked with keeping them safe.

Reach your saving goals As we approach the middle of the year, we are presented with an opportunity to reflect on our new year financial resolutions and to gauge whether our financial goals are still on track.

Saving and investing should form an important part of your goals and money management journey.

By regularly revisiting your progress, you can see if you are on track to meet your financial goals.

However, after assessing your goals and seeing that you are not where you had anticipated to be by this time, you should look at how you can do better. You shouldn’t feel discouraged if your savings goals for this year are not on track, you still have six months to meet them.

These are some tips to make it happen: . Record your expenses: Keep track of all your expenses. From that cup of coffee, lunch at work, data and airtime.

This initial step will help you see how much you spend and will give you an indication of where you need to reduce.

This will help you free up some funds which can be channelled towards your savings; . Review your bank statement: Spend time looking at your bank statement to see where you need to cut expenses. This will need to be done with great attention as it will help you identify areas that may be causing the monthly expense leakage. Once you have identified the

leakages, you need to act immediately to allow more funds to be channelled towards meeting your financial goal. . Review your budget: Once you have the data from recording your expenses and reviewing your bank statement, you need to relook your monthly budget and amend it in a way that will enable you to meet your goals faster.

It is important to ensure that your budget outlines all your expenses as this will identify gaps where you will need to limit overspending. Your budget should ideally include weekly and monthly expenses. For example, if you work outside town and go home every second month, this should be factored so that it doesn’t dent your budget when you have to go home. . Contribute extra: When finances allow, it is advisable to contribute extra towards your saving. This will help you meet your savings goal earlier. For example, when you receive a recognition payment at work, it would be worthwhile to allocate some of the money towards savings.

Constantly reminding yourself about what you are saving for will encourage you to continue saving. Factor in your savings goal into your monthly budget to ensure that you make the adequate contribution to be able to meet your goal.

Communities can intervene The constant reports and incidents of social ills and crime on the Cape Flats is of great concern.

Residents cannot wait for the minister of police or social development to tell them how they will help or how people should try and fix their own communities; as if there are no people who are wise enough and capable enough, in the particular area. More police or greater law enforcement visibility only serves to minimise or keep the problem of crime under control. The problem, however, still exists; and still has to be adequately dealt with.

It seems as if residents of the Cape Flats have become insensitive to the pain and suffering in their communities. Many actually have an attitude of “it’s just another murder, it’s just another rape, it’s just another stabbing, it’s just another shooting” as if the victim’s life is of little value. These things are often merely ascribed to poverty and poor social circumstances.

Is childhood murder however caused by poverty? Is rape caused by poverty? Does poverty actually cause women and child abuse? Is poverty really the cause of alcohol abuse? Is poverty really the cause of drug abuse?

Is poverty really the root cause or primary problem, or is it about people’s particular response to their lack of financial and other resources? Has poverty become an easy excuse for the community’s own faults and failures?

What is the actual reason why these and other evils that are so prevalent in these neighbourhoods today?

The change people desire to see in their areas, actually flow from a clean and pure heart. As such, it is therefore clear that it is not social justice or social

activism that is needed, but godly mobilisation is required. It is, however, a serious indictment against churches especially, that they are part of those who express public outrage over terror attacks in other countries, yet their voices are silent and their arms are folded with regard to the killings and other evils taking place in their own backyard. They actually need to repent for not doing enough to help communities become better and safer.

As long as churches mostly shine the light where there already is light, the darkness will remain unchanged and never be enlightened.

All the churches in a particular area need to close their doors for at least one Sunday, and go and reach out to the people outside their walls. A few minutes of activism or charity per year is however not sufficient for the Cape Flats. What it needs is at least one full day of mobilisation from morning till night, to uplift communities from the inside out. Although the ideal should be for this to be done at least once a quarter, perhaps the public holiday of 24 September should henceforth be declared such a day for the Cape Flats.

If a prize of R2m or even the Nobel Peace Prize were up for grabs to an individual or organisation who were most effective at addressing the social ills and crime in neighbourhoods on the Cape Flats in 2019, would that stimulate them to better mobilise themselves and develop more sustainable solutions for these areas? Should a material reward, however, be the best motivation for making such a major contribution to society?

R.BARTES, Manenberg

We need morals and values of yester-year When I was growing up, we could walk the streets without concern for getting robbed or stabbed or killed.

We walked everywhere we needed to be and if it was too far, we would take public transport. I would not be as brave to do that now.

The rate at which people are getting robbed and killed means no one and no place is safe anymore.

There are many ways in which times were tough in the 60s and 70s, but at

least we lived. Our lives were not cut short. These days we are burying our children and grandchildren in the prime of their lives. Morals and values have changed and maybe it is time to bring that back. To bring prayer and the Bible back into schools and our homes. The change should start with us and it should start at home. Bring back the values from the past.
