Dancing Dancing to to the the beat beat

Residents of Bouter Close in Leonsdale got together to do the Jerusalema Challenge in celebration of Heritage Day on Thursday 24 September. Valentino Stander, who stays in the area, said the ongoing gang violence never deterred mothers and children from making this challenge a success. “The mother’s took it upon themselves to practice the dance moves with the children and also arranged for braai meat for the children to celebrate the day.”.

NEW VISION: ‘RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM’

New commander in charge TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

E

lsies River police station has a new commander.

With 34 years experience in the police service, Brig Mark Hartzenberg from Parow said making a difference in communities concerning safety and security is what drives his passion. He started his new journey on Monday 14 September.

“I have a passion for the South African Police Service’s uniform and what it stands for.

My policing journey started at the age of 18 and I was enlisted in Kimberley on 1 January 1986. I was then posted to Phillipstown, 55km from De Aar. After two years I re-

turned to Kimberley. I have worked at various police stations in the capacity as station commander in Roodepan in the Northern Cape, King William’s Town and Dimbaza in the Eastern Cape, New Brighton in Port Elizabeth, Da Gamaskop in Mossel Bay and now Elsies River.”

He noted that the crimes trending in Elsies River are gang related murders and attempted murder.

“The hot spots are in our gang infested areas which consist of Avonwood, Leonsdale, Clarkes Estate and Adriaanse. Recently The Range has also become a hot spot. These gang fights are mostly about territory and drug turf. Burglary of businesses is also a matter of concern especially in the Elsies

River Industrial and Epping 2 areas.”

He said his vision is to create a sense of unity within the police station. “I believe if and when we are united, then we will be a stronger force to attend to our crime challenges within our precinct. I also believe that when my support structures within the police station are properly in place and know what is expected of them, then my operational structure will operate as a well-oiled machine. I have this vision of seeing Elsies River police station becoming the best police station where excellence is defined,” said Hartzenberg.

Welcome Brig Mark Hartzenberg, Elsies River police’s new station commander.

Suspect appears for top cop’s murder A

39-year-old man, who allegedly gunned down Lt Col Charl Kinnear, a senior detective in the Western Cape’s anti-gang unit, appeared in the Bishop Lavis magistrate’s court on Friday 25 September.

Hawks spokesperson, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, said Zane Killian was arrested in Springs, Gauteng, on Wednesday 23 September.

He is expected back in court on Monday 5 October.

Kinnear (52) was murdered in front of his

Bishop Lavis home in Gearing Street on Friday 18 September.

A memorial service was held for Kinnear on Thursday 24 September.

After news of the murder broke, the Forensics for Justice non-profit organisation, led by forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan, issued a R1 million reward for information (“Hawks investigating murder of top cop”, TygerBurger, 23 September 2020).

O’Sullivan said in a statement: “Forensics for Justice cannot and will not stand idly by whilst the criminal underworld assassinates ethical, hardworking cops at will.

“Having fought to rid the criminal justice system of the evil of corruption for so many years, we will not let the Western Cape become the province that will take South Africa on a slippery slope to lawlessness. Charl Kinnear was a decent cop, the sort of cop that forms the back-bone of a good police service. We need cops like him in our country.”

Last week the Bishop Lavis Community Policing Forum (CPF) expressed shock after learning about Kinnear’s death.

In November last year, Bishop Lavis police officer Lt Col Andre Kay was gunned

down as he was reversing out of his driveway (“Cop murder ‘was a hit’ ”, TygerBurger, 20 November 2019). Kay was attached to the provincial firearm, liquor and second hand goods unit.

Reports suggest that Kinnear had been re-

ceiving death threats for years. His family was placed under police protection at their home as a result.

“We want answers because Col Kinnear had a protection letter. Why was this family no longer protected?” asks Davids.

The Monwabisi desalination plant is being decommissioned as the two-year pe­riod for which it was hired has come to an end.

Decommissioning of its counterpart in Strandfontein already commenced in June this year, and is currently underway.

The City commissioned both the Monwabisi and Strandfontein temporary desalination plants to provide emergency water supply in the event that it was needed, as we faced the prospect of Day Zero.

“The Monwabisi temporary desalina­tion plant bids farewell at a very different time to when it was first commissioned during the worst drought in the Cape. Dam levels have recently reached 98,2% as of 21 September,” the City stated in a media release on Monday 28 September.

“The City has also made big strides towards implementation of larger schemes, as outlined in our water strategy. The first water from the Table Mountain Group Aquifer abstraction programme has al­ready come online, contributing around 15 million litres of groundwater per day to our water supply.

“Operation of these plants has provided valuable hands-on experience in producing desalinated water, which will help us as we work towards larger scale desalination projects.

“The experience taught us a lot about the management of a desalina­tion plant, and built confidence that this is a viable way of reliably producing good quality drinking water,” said Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for water and sanitation in the City.

“Once the plant has been shut down, the infrastructure will be removed in phases by the contractor.

During this time, public access to sections of the area may be limited, at short notice, depending on the scope of the work.

The area on which the plant was built will be restored to its former condition.

“An environmental control officer will monitor the rehabilitation work,” she said.

According to Limberg, local community members were given work opportunities throughout the duration of the project, from construction right through to the operation of the desalination plant.

R27million for businesses Provincial minister of finance David Maynier last week launched the Western Cape Covid-19 Business Relief Fund, which commits R27 million to supporting small businesses in both the formal and informal sectors who have been hard-hit

by Covid-19 restrictions.

“We know that times have been tough for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The fund will provide financial assistance in the form of a financial grant to businesses who can apply to either the formal or informal business category.

The grant will be used exclusively to subsidise business expenses such as fixed costs, operational costs, supplier debt

and other pressure cost items,” he said in a statement to the media.

“With the move to alert level 1 which allows more businesses to safely open, this fund is an important step in our economic recovery plan to help businesses to rebuild and save jobs in the Western Cape. And so, I would like to encourage all interested small businesses to apply.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.”

The closing date for submissions is Monday, 12 October 2020 at 10:00.

Elderly couple survives Covid-19 A

Cape Town couple in their 90s were surprised to learn that they were in hospital together.

Netcare N1 City Hospital in Cape Town is celebrating the discharge of a senior citizen couple, Neville and Iris Adams, aged 91 and 90 respectively, who were both admitted with Covid-19 around the same time with­out even knowing it.

“Neville Adams was admitted on 16 August and his wife, Iris, a week later on 21 August, neither realising at first that they were just a room away from one another, both being treated in isolation in line with Netcare protocols. Neville Adams was astonished and excited to learn that his wife was also admitted with him, doing well in her recovery and being cared for just next door,” says one of the couple’s treating physicians, Dr Zia Els. “Given their age and the fact that both have underlying medical conditions – Iris has diabetes and hypertension and Neville has kidney problems – we were deeply concerned about them when they were admitted.

I am delighted to say, however, that they both did remarkably well and are continuing to recover strongly at home after being discharged together on Spring Day, 1 September,” says Els. “We’re going home,” said an excited Nevil-

Iris (left) and Neville Adams on the day of their discharge from hospital. le on the couple’s discharge. “We had quite an experience, but are both feeling much bet-

ter now. The doctors and staff at the hospital treated us exceptionally well and we are

deeply grateful to all of them.”

Netcare N1 City Hospital’s acting general manager, Morné Kielblock, says the hospital staff members and doctors gave the couple a rousing send-off with a “guard of honour” when they were discharged and are rejoicing in their recovery. “Under the watchful eye of our outstanding medical and nursing teams, both these senior citizens survived the virus. It was a great privilege for us to treat such a brave couple and a morale booster for all of the doctors and staff to be able to send them home safely,” says Kielblock.

According to Els, Iris was admitted with very similar symptoms to her husband and both were initially dependent on oxygen, with Neville spending the first few days in the high care unit of the hospital.

“The team treated them conservatively using less invasive ventilation techniques, to which they both responded well. The multi-disciplinary treatment teams at the hospital have used a conservative approach regarding ventilation where possible for Covid-19 patients throughout the pandemic and have achieved excellent results and outcomes. I would like to thank all of the doctors and staff at the hospital for their outstanding work during the pandemic and particularly like to thank the nursing staff, who have worked so tirelessly and bravely.”

Public to apply for firework displays I

f you love firework displays, you will now need to apply for a permit.

This is according to the City of Cape Town saying that in terms of the National Explosives Act and the community fire safety by-law, people wishing to host fireworks displays will be able to apply for a permit to do so.

As was the case in 2019, fireworks displays will only be allowed where a permit has been applied for in terms of the relevant legislation.

The City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said any event where 200-plus attendees are expected, or that requires any infrastructure build, will also require an events permit from the City.

“The City wishes to reiterate that, while

it has, in years gone by, provided designated fireworks sites, there is no obligation to do so and since 2019 has no longer provided designated fireworks sites for Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year’s Eve. As we indicated last year, the public will need to apply for a permit for a fireworks display as we no longer provide designated sites. There is growing public sentiment opposing the use of fireworks, and we have also seen a decreased appetite from subcouncils to approve designated sites, Smith said.

He added that with the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible.

“Furthermore, the designated sites have

done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem.Unfortunately this was misinterpreted as a ban on fireworks, when it was first implemented, but I would like to remind the public that only national government has the authority to ban fireworks.

Firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation.”

People who would like to apply for a permit to host a firework display need to apply to the police via email at capetown.explosives.cmrd@saps.gov.za.

Smith said the community should contact the head of the City’s fire and life safety section in their application via email at Ignatius.smart@capetown.gov.za.

“If the application is given the go ahead

by the police, they then have to make contact with the fire and rescue services, the fire life safety section, in the area where they plan to hold the display so that a site inspection can be carried out to determine whether the site is safe for a fireworks display.

Apart from ensuring that there are no fire hazards in the immediate surroundings, permission also needs to be sought from residents and businesses in the area, and strict conditions have to be adhered to before and during the fireworks display to mitigate any potential risk to safety,” Smith said.

Furthermore, the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permission outlined in the Explosives Act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.

Paddling for cleaner rivers T

he Peninsula Paddle, in its 11th year of running, will take place on Sunday 4 October after having been postponed due to the rain prediction last Sunday (27 September).

This year, UCT’s Future Water Institute, in partnership with Cape Town Environmental Education Trust (CTEET), Friends of the Liesbeek, Khayelitsha Canoe Club, Zandvlei Trust and the City of Cape Town, will continue to raise awareness for the plight of the waterways. They are calling on residents in Cape Town to take notice and change their habits.

Founded in 2010, the Peninsula Paddle began as a challenge between four friends to see if they could paddle from Muizenberg to Milnerton through the city’s urban waterways.

According to CTEET, this proved to be a

difficult task as they often found their way blocked by solid waste or overgrown weeds.

Through this initial paddle, they coined the phrase “the health of the city is seen in its waterways”.

“There is a disconnection between residents in Cape Town and their environment, that little thought is given to the consequences of litter and other waste. We hope that with raising awareness around the Peninsula Paddle and spreading the message, we can really show people what beautiful assets urban rivers can be and how they can benefit every single citizen of Cape Town and not just be a conduit for waste and pollution. The route for the Peninsula Paddle was specifically chosen to highlight the socio-economic disparity within the City of Cape Town, while showing that we are all connected to the city’s waterways. In connecting people

to waterways, the spatial and economic divisions in the city can be bridged by these blue and green corridors running through the city,” CTEET said in a statement.

Dr Anthony Roberts, CTEET CEO, said at a time when unemployment is at an all-time high, particularly for youth, it is essential to be creative in how the green economy can be used to bolster employment for a semiskilled workforce.

The theme for this year’s Peninsula Paddle is “The tragic journey of litter in our waterways”. A short video documenting the paddle will be produced showing that everything you throw away can potentially end up in the canals and river, eventually washing out to sea.

CTEET said the message they are portraying is serious and encourage all to refuse single use plastic and buy responsibly.

Training provides positive outlet for pros Despite the lowering of the national lockdown level to level 1, amateur rugby action remains paused, but clubs are still active within their communities.

“As you know rugby remains inactive as per government regulation with only professionals allowed to train, but our players are now at least able to do contact training and this has already made a tremendous positive difference both mentally and physically,” says WP Amateur Rugby manager, Danny Jones.

He says they will wait on further announcements from SA Rugby on the return to competition, but is happy to have players being able to train again, with clubs continuing their respective outreach projects.

“Some examples include St. Georges reaching out to close on 500 people weekly, including a recent event for Women’s Day where their senior ladies and women staff received gifts, chocolates and a card. Eerste River did a Sunday lunch at Kleinvlei together with their women’s rugby team last week and Caledonian Roses have been reaching out to local schools with a focus on girls schools. Paarl Rangers and Vineyards have been busy with soup kitchens in the Paarl region and Collegians have also been busy with soup kitchens to help more than one thousand people weekly,” he says, adding that while these initiatives are hardly new, the clubs still need to be commended on their efforts.

Jones adds that clubs have now turned

their attention to their playing facilities.

“These clubs have engaged their players, old boys and local fans to help and sees a wide variety of skills deployed by those that are so willing to commit their time and resources. In some cases, we’ve seen bricklaying, painting and fencing skills as well as individuals using their own vehicles to deliver sand, cement and other materials.

We’ve also seen that some clubs have started slightly bigger construction such as levelling the surface of the playing field with a view to improving the grass layout. These efforts bode well for the facility’s future and we look forward to our players returning back to improved venues. Some of our clubs have also begun club activity extensions outside of the immediate rugby activ-

ity but yet with a crossover in terms of training and additional benefits to their members. These include setting up functional outdoor gym facilities which can be constructed from basic materials,” explains Jones.

With the lowering of the level of the lockdown restrictions, certain clubs have been able to open their doors for business again.

“Our players and clubs continue to engage outside of the training arena with many doing beach runs, mountain runs and even some cross-fit training. Last week saw us conclude our second week of online media, sponsorship and marketing training with Super League C and the City League. Each club has been asked to submit up to three members to fulfil the role at the club with a view to building the future of that club for a committed period. It was emphasised that dedicated individuals with a determined focus are required.”

SOFTBALL: LOCAL SEASON STILL OFF THE CARDS

Waiting for dust to settle NOORE NACERODIEN

T

he 2020/2021 local softball season, run by the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA), will not go ahead.

The softball season usually runs from October to March every year.

The previous season only managed to finish a matter of days before the lockdown was officially implemented.

The pandemic had a major effect on the sport locally, which has five women and three men’s leagues with many youth teams. Nationally, events such as the National Provincial Championships, normally held in March, was also cancelled.

However, the government stance regarding softball as a non-contact sport has baffled players and administrators alike – who have the collective thought, saying, “there’s nothing soft about it”.

The dust will stand thick when players clash at a base. Contact between opposing players is inevitable.

The majority of clubs supported the Cape Town Softball Association’s (CTSA) executive committee in their proposal not to play the 2020/2021 season.

The CTSA will, however, review the status of the pandemic at the end of November for a possible start in January 2021, albeit a shortened competition season.

The cost to ensure that the playing venues are compliant in terms of regulatory requirements is exorbitant, but CTSA chairperson Hayley Carolus says health and safety is of paramount importance.

“We are responsible and held accountable for their safety and their loved ones at home. It was by no

means easy to propose the ‘no play’ (decision). We are all eager to return back to the field of play to continue enjoying this beautiful game we all love so dearly.

“However, this is no normal season we are living in, and we are heading into an uncertain future.

We are living in extraordinary times and I hope times that we will never experience in our lifetime again,” she said.

“By moving to alert level 1, we have to be extremely cautious and keep practising social distancing, washing of hands regularly, wearing a mask, as we are now more

vulnerable than ever, with limited borders and airports opening up. I would rather want our softball fraternity to be safe, healthy and living than to return to the field of play too soon and be at risk of any danger,” Carolus added.

Nazeem Dulvie, veteran coach of current Super League champions, Westridge Yankees Softball Club, echoed the sentiment, questioning the government’s view that the sport is a non-contact sport.

“Surely the ones who are categorising the code as non-contact has not watched this beautiful game being played at an elite level.

“Pick-off plays on bases are exciting and contact is inevitable.

Not to mention those close plays at home plate when players collide as well as ‘run-downs’,” he says.

Dulvie adds that the pandemic has had a major impact on preparations, especially considering the closure of facilities for most of the lockdown period, while limited resources exacerbate the safe return to action.

“Not all players can afford their own equipment, and this has added to the lack of proper preparations.

We need to look at the holistic wellbeing of our athletes and the effects

possible Covid-19 infections can have on them physically, emotionally and financially. Even though we might have younger ‘low risk’ athletes competing, these athletes go home where they might live with ‘high-risk individuals’.

“Also considering that our more experienced technical staff are older and at a higher risk than the players. This sport has stood the test of time and will be there way after the Covid-19 pandemic has been surpassed.

“It is time to take caution and protect our players, technical and their families,” Dulvie concluded.

There will be no action at Turfhall Softball Stadium, the home of the Cape Town Softball Association, following a “no play” decision.
