MASIPHUMELELE: SHOOTING AND ILLEGAL SHEBEENS

Crime woes irk locals MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

ublic drinking, illegal shebeens and increasing crime has Masiphumelele residents concerned. Resident Raymond Jantjies says crime in the area is out of control. He is one of 80 residents trained for the local neighbourhood watch, but he says a lack of police vehicles, has left watch members afraid to patrol. “Shootings and illegal shebeens are the biggest problems. With no enforcement people drink in public and don’t care,” he says. In the last four months, police say, more than 30 illegal shebeen owners have been arrested. Jantjies says a recent spate of armed robberies while people are on their way to work

in the early hours, are also a concern. He says he has heard several reports of young women being robbed when leaving in the morning and returning in the evenings. Former Ocean View Community Police Forum (CPF) chairperson Johann Kikillus says the formation of neighbourhood watches in Masiphumelele has been an issue for the past two years. In 2012, he says, 22 people were trained by the Department of Community Safety (Docs) and received certificates. “Unfortunately several of them started demanding salaries and there were quarrels over who the leader would be. I instructed them to speak to deputy chairperson Tsepho Moletsane to establish a sub-forum,” Kikillus explains. He says illegal shebeens have been the source of many complaints. Every week the

complaints received are raised with Ocean View Police Station. Kikillus says while Law Enforcement and Metro Police assist where they can, the police needed to act, but were understaffed. “There is one van patrolling between Masiphumelele and Kommetjie; that is completely inadequate. Masiphumelele has street parties, where people drink in the streets – one van is not able to deal with this. They do not have back-up and it is too dangerous,” he says. When People’s Post visited the area on Sunday 9 February several street parties were in full swing by 15:00. Men and women could be seen consuming alcohol on the pavements and taxi drivers were seen with alcohol while driving. A group of men seen drinking near the taxi rank say they “are just having fun and not

hurting anybody”. Kikillus says he is confused about how these illegal shebeens manage to buy stock as it is illegal for liquor distributors to supply to illegal shebeens. Last year Kikillus and the CPF approached several owners and asked them to register their establishments. “I made it clear that if they followed all the guidelines as stipulated by law, I would consider assisting them. This includes that no liquor may be sold near a school, creche or place of worship. But I heard nothing back,” he says. Ocean View police station commander Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus agrees shebeens are problematic and says they contribute to crime, but does not agree that crime “is out of control”. He says unemployment and the layout of the informal settlement contributes to crime levels.

Traffic cop speedsters STAFF REPORTER

hey are meant to uphold the law. But dozens of City of Cape Town traffic officers who racked up scores of speeding violations in November and December merely got a slap on the wrist. The speeding reports generated by the traffic vehicle fleet’s tracking system were generated some weeks ago. These reports reflect some 40 traffic officers from across the peninsula, including the southern suburbs, excessively breaking the speed limits on local roads. Hundreds of violations were recorded where some officers drove at speeds double the speed limit. Speeds in excess of 170km were recorded in 60km/h speed zones, that of 170km in 80km speed zones and that of more than 190km in 120km speed zones, many of which occurred in and around the southern suburbs and on the national roads. A People’s Post source said informal hearings were held, to investigate the violations, earlier this year. “Although some of these officers could prove that the speeding was executed in acting in the course of their duties, the majority could not account for the speeds they were travelling,” the source said. The source added the times on the reports reflected that many of these officers were on their way to or from work when the violations were recorded. Guilty officers were issued with warnings. Apart from admission of guilt speeding resulting in traffic fines of up to R3000, a motorist caught driving 196km is arrested on the spot and has to defend himself in court. The City of Cape Town’s director for Safety and Security Richard Bosman said the traffic officers must obey all rules of the road, unless they are acting in the course of their duties. “Failing to do so is unacceptable and such behaviour will not be tolerated,” Bosman said. “Not driving in accordance with the rules portrays a negative image.

Arrive Alive and the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) labelled these incidents as “unscrupulous” and strongly condemned it. “It is in such that we experience ever-increasing road carnages in our country; that is regrettable,” said spokesperson Thato Mosena. Arrive Alive and the RTMC distinguishes speed as one of the leading causes of serious injuries and deaths on our roads. “It increases the risk of collisions and it comes with a high price. Excessive speeding remains a problem as some people have chosen to ignore road safety messages or think they won’t get caught,” she said. “On average 20 people a day are arrested for excessive speeding, especially in urban metropolitan areas, which is a concern to us.” Mosena urged all South Africans to ROLE REVERSAL: Traffic officers are not immune when it comes to the abide and comply issuing of traffic offences.

MUIZENBERG: LESS GANG VIOLENCE IN PRECINCT

Crime fighting boosted by more watches MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

he absence of a financial report took centre stage at the Muizenberg Community Police Forum (CPF) annual meeting last week. Speaking at the meeting, CPF chairperson Gerry Gordon asked attendees to accept the organisation’s bank account balance provided by her verbally. However, in the absence of an official report, members refused to do so and questioned why a bank statement could not be provided. Gordon said the previous treasurer had resigned from the position and handed the CPF executive committee two files. She added new signatories were being added to manage the account. Andre Blom, CPF cluster chairperson, suggested a police officer from Muizenberg Police Station be added as a signatory. “This helps; if you can’t get hold of a member you can go to the station and get help from the police,” he said. An election was held and Eric Wolhuter was elected as the new treasurer. Frank Bokhorst was elected as deputy chairperson and Brigid Mentor as public relations officer. In the chairperson’s report, Gordon said there had been many challenges for the CPF during the year. This, she said, included the resignation of the treasurer. “With residents becoming frustrated with the crime situation, we saw the inception of many new neighbourhood watches and more people take to the streets,” she said. The CPF would continue to support these watches this year, Gordon said. While the CPF did not host any projects last year, Gordon explained, they supported various community initiatives. In his report, acting station commander Lieutenant-Colonel Mbulawa Lungisile said the station, which covers Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, Vrygrond, Seawinds, Capricorn and Overcome Heights, was less affected by gang violence. He said following a flare-up in 2012, last year was not as “volatile”. Lungisile added the biggest crime concern last year was the number of assault charges laid by family members. “Crimes against women and children are

reported often and, while we have a high arrest rate for domestic violence cases, we find that many of the cases are withdrawn,” he says. Police officers were often caught in a “sticky situation” as a national directive requires them to take action against perpetrators, Lungisile explains, but victims often withdrew cases a day later. “We can’t stop them, they have a right to do so,” he said.

Cafe feeds the hungry MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

n the middle of a derelict central business district (CBD) lies an establishment which shines a ray of hope. It’s just after 10:00 and Praise Cafe in Ocean View is buzzing with excitement. Waiters are preparing their tables, baristas are warming up the coffee machine and kitchen staff are preparing breakfast for a 70-year-old woman and her friends, as they celebrate her birthday. In the doorway stands Pastor Raymond Katts who greets his patrons while soft music plays in the background. Established by the House of Praise Church, the cafe is a social enterprise to help raise funds for a feeding scheme. Katts says the church feeds more than 200 children in Ocean View three times a week. A lack of funds and donations, led to the parishioners launching the idea to start a business to raise funds for the feeding scheme. Two months ago, the church committee started a drive to turn around a derelict space into a meeting place for residents. “This space was (frequented) by gangsters and drug dealers; it was in a really bad state,” he says. After gaining permission, the team started clearing the building and repairing the leaking roofs. Coupled with a lick of paint and a donation of restaurant equipment, the cafe was up and running in less than a month. Bernadene Springhall, who now works at the cafe, worked at The Loft in Fish Hoek for several years. A month ago she

was informed her boss was taking early retirement and the restaurant would close down. “She faced unemployment and we were offered the restaurant equipment at a really good price. And so we got everything we needed from furniture to cutlery,” Katts says. The feeding scheme aims to provide hungry children with a wholesome meal and a chance to feel safe. They do not serve soup; they instead provide a warm, balanced meal comprising proteins, vegetables and starch. Katts says many of the children live off only bread, as their parents cannot afford meat or vegetables. He also says many of the children hun-

The children receive meals after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and again on Sundays. During the week many of them receive assistance with homework or guidance counselling. “We also wanted to create a safe place for children. Last week I saw three girls. aged between five and six, aimlessly walking around the CBD. I asked them where their parents were, they didn’t know. (We want to help the children),” he says.

The plight of a group of concerned residents about the living conditions in Masiphumelele is being heard. This week a team of representatives who raised concerns about the living conditions in the wetlands, met with premier Helen Zille and mayor Patricia de Lille to discuss their petition. The petition, which has been signed by more than 600 residents across the Far South, called on authorities to look into reblocking, providing a second access road to Masiphumelele and a land audit for available land in the area. It was written by Lutz van Dijk and Professor Andy Dawes of Clovelly. The team met with authorities to discuss their concerns and were pleased with the results. According to the meeting report there are talks about using Abington Road as a second access road. In his report Van Dijk says it is already marked as a road reserve and used by many for walking. He further adds about R470m will be needed to construct it into a proper road. Van Dijk says he is also pleased the City has agreed to look into the possibility of reblocking the area close to the wetlands. The proposal was made to find a way to prevent future deaths and fires in the informal settlement. The team’s suggestion includes using existing drainage channels to divide the settlement into five areas. Mayoral Committee member for Human Settlements Tandeka Gqada tells People’s Post a conceptual layout for a re-blocked Masiphumelele is currently being formulated by the City’s Urbanisation Department.

IN FAVOUR: 556 OWNERS SAY ‘YES’

SRA voting period closed MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

t is the last leg of the race for the proposed Special Ratings Area (SRA) for Kalk Bay and St James. The comment period for official objections closed last week and the City of Cape Town is expected to make their final decision by the end of next month. The proposal was first made at a residents’ meeting last year. Since the first public meeting, an additional 16 Kalk Bay properties have been added to the SRA area. The steering committee’s Jim Russell says a request for the additional properties was made during the voting last year. “We checked with City officials; as these properties were already part of Kalk Bay on the City’s locality map, they saw no impediment,” he says. Of the 887 properties, the committee has received 566 votes. This is 64% of the 60% of “yes” votes required by the City. The proposal has a start-up budget of R1.2m for the first year. This, Russell explains, will mean residents will pay about R47.31 for every R1m of their property value – in addition to their monthly rates. The commercial tariff is R141.83 for

FUNTASTIC OFFERS

every R1m. “In comparison to many other SRAs this rate is by far the lowest. In our budget we have eliminated rentals and we’ve also proposed everything be done electronically to cut out paper costs,” he says. Russell explains 65% of the budget will be allocated to public safety and these men and women will be the “eyes and ears of the community”. Smaller expenses in the budget make provision for litter and cleanliness, the upkeep of public spaces and a part-time social worker. Residents and businesses who voted “no” or who have made formal objections will now be interviewed by the committee. “We will request interviews with those who voted (against) or made objections to discuss their reasons. This is required by the SRA policy,” Russell says. Resident Judy Herbert says she supports the proposal. While the community is fortunate to have those who work voluntarily to keep public spaces, beaches and other areas in a good condition, she believes, it is not a long-term solution. “It is far better to have a formal structure which will keep the village in an acceptable and safe condition for both residents and visitors to the area,” Herbert says.

Platform for rail complaints CHEVON BOOYSEN @ChevonBooysen

rushed in a carriage with many other frustrated commuters, panicking because the clock is ticking and your shift should start soon, is certain to add misery to anyone’s day. This is what many Metrorail commuters encounter daily owing to delayed trains across the province. And while the rail service operator points a finger at cable theft retarding their operations, disgruntled passengers have had enough of using the “unreliable” transport mode. Kylie Wilford has been a regular commut-

er for nine years. Metrorail has disappointed her from the start, she says. She has drawn up a petition encouraging commuters to stand together and demand better service since complaints to the service provider “fall on deaf ears”. “Metrorail doesn’t care about its commuters. As long as they receive the money for the bad service, they are the only ones smiling,” she says. More people are making use of public transport owing to the never-ending petrol price increases, Wilford continues, leading to Metrorail’s profits increasing. However, she says, it seems the money is not being used to improve its infrastructure and operations. “They proved they could deliver a better

service with the 2010 World Cup, so why can’t it be done now? Was all that just a façade for the world to see?” she fumes. Poor public transport has a direct and negative immediate effect on business, says Cape Chamber of Commerce Transport Portfolio Committee chairperson Peter Hugo. “Businesses lose money and that, of course, has an effect on the economy, especially when a large part of the province’s work force use rail services as their primary means of transportation,” Hugo explains. Metrorail is “robbing” commuters, Christo Lakay insists. “Customers are being treated as third-class citizens,” Lakay says. The loss of confidence in rail transport can be directly attributed to cable theft, insists

Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott. To improve services, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa is implementing a rail renewal investment programme to the tune of R32bn over the next three years. They will be focusing on signalling and telecommunications, station modernisation, rail network extensions and the general overhaul of Metrorail coaches. Scott says: “The benefits of the current investment programme will only be realised in the medium to long-term. The most immediate goal is to bring about visible and shortterm improvements that changes customers’ travel experience.” Dismissing the plans as “rubbish”, Wilford insists: “Metrorail is trying to shut up commuters. They don’t need to spend a whole lot of money. All they need to do is fix their service.” Go to http://www.thepetitionsite.com/717/323/081/demanding-bettermore-effective-trains-immediately/#sign.

on’t get too hung up on trying to “read” market cycles or interest rate trends, or you may miss the property boat altogether. That’s the advice of Shaun Rademeyer, CEO of a bond originator, in a statement to young people planning to buy their first home this year. He says in buying a home, as in purchasing shares, market timing is not the only factor that should be taken into account. “While buying low in the stock market is certainly important, the reality is that the most successful investors don’t rely on being

moment when most of these seem aligned in their favour,” he says. Realistically, there is very little chance of achieving “perfect timing” in the property market, Rademeyer says, “so those who are keen to buy their own homes should rather concentrate their energies on finding a home that suits them in an area with good growth prospects, at a price within their loan qualification limit. Their chances of doing so right now are pretty good, but may not stay that way for long because stock levels are shrinking in many areas and putting prices under pressure.

able to buy stocks at the very moment they reach their lowest price or sell at the very top. They also look at factors such as prospects for growth or the sustained delivery of earnings,” Rademeyer says. Prospective homebuyers should look at property purchases in the same way, he says. “Apart from interest rates and home prices, they need to consider variables such as the type of home they want, price trends in the area they prefer, possible renovation costs, transfer costs and the availability of finance, and be prepared to jump in at the

“Similarly, while interest rates and home loan qualification levels are currently at their lowest levels in decades, they are widely expected to start moving upwards again this year, making home ownership less affordable once more.” Meanwhile, he says, it is worth noting that while interest rates are bound to go up and down during the term of a home loan, buyers who take the plunge usually find that the actual repayments tend to average out, while the value of their property tends to keep rising, and gearing continues to work in their favour.

‘We need a safe place to park bicycles’ I wish to point out that because of the looming fuel price hikes many of us would be thinking of alternative modes of transport to get around the Valley. However, has anyone seen how many secure areas there are around Fish Hoek central business district for storing your bicycle safely, so you can come out of the shops and not (find) your bicycle stolen? There are none. I would like to see more areas set aside for bicycles to be securely stored, with a bicycle guard to watch them. I will gladly pay them a small monthly fee – or R5 like you pay the car guards – to watch my bike. At least I know I can shop with peace of mind that my bike will be where I left it and I don’t have to worry about burning fuel driving around Fish Hoek looking for parking. At the very least I will be burning carbs. ROBIN DAY, FISH HOEK

Tigers tear Maroon Machine apart LIAM MOSES @LiamCPT

CT will face Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University next week in what is shaping up to be an acid test. The Ikey Tigers produced Jekyll and Hyde performances in the first two Varsity Cup fixtures, while the Madibas are one of two undefeated teams in the tournament. UCT started the Varsity Cup with a 47-24 drubbing at home to Pukke last week, but seemed to turn the corner with a stunning, 33-16 bonus point victory against arch rivals Stellenbosch University at the Danie Craven Stadium on Monday. The visitors were the better side from the first whistle and showed their superiority by demolishing Maties at two consecutive scrums early on. But despite the territorial, possession and set phase dominance, the hosts opened the scoring in the eighth minute. Inside centre Johnny Kotze took advantage of the same lax defending that saw UCT concede six tries against Pukke, crashing over with two defenders nearby. Robert du Preez’s conversation gave the hosts an 8-0 lead. The match was more balanced after the score, but the turning point came in the 20th minute when Maties flank Beyers de Villiers was yellow-carded. UCT almost immediately took advantage of the numerical advantage, with flank Jason Klaasen spinning away from a mauled line-out to crash over and Dean Grant tying the scores with a conversion. Ikeys grabbed the lead seven minutes later, with the maul serving as a the perfect attacking platform again.

Maties committed more numbers to stop the drive this time, but the ball was spread left for wing Lihleli Xoli to touch down after Huw Jones and Richard Stewart sucked in more defenders in the midfield. Grant missed the conversion, but took UCT to a 15-8 half-time lead with a conversion just before the whistle. UCT resumed their dominance in the second-half and Klaasen popped up again to score his second try. The ball was ripped away from Xoli in the 22 and Klaasen pounced to pick up and dive over the unguarded try-line. Grant goaled the conversion and stretched UCT’s lead again with penalty in the 61st minute. Maties looked beaten with the scores at 25-8, but the hosts slowly regained a foothold in the game. The Maroon Machine piled on the pressure and it finally told in the 73rd minute when Du Preez darted through a gap in the 22 to score, then converted his own try to take the scores to 25-16. With Maties hunting a converted try and another score to win the game, UCT put the result beyond doubt. Jones clung to a flat pass, sliced through a gap in midfield and was brought down short of the try-line. But Ikeys captain Liam Slatem was on hand to pick up and dive over. Grant added the extras and a touch of gloss to the scoreline. The victory is UCT’s second ever against Maties in the history of the tournament, and beating the three-time champions will provide some much needed confidence ahead of the clash against the Madibas in Port Elizabeth on Monday evening.
