Pitch now in sheep shape
With petrol prices going up today it seems that some unique ideas are coming up in the community to save costs. At Avonwood Sports Field those measures are already in full swing with the grass cutting left to this highly skilled team of sheep. They don’t take days off, work seven days a week, even when a cricket match is ta king place, and never take lunch breaks. But then again their work is lunch! Photo: Gary van Dyk.
) ‘Evil crime must be stopped’
Outrage at child rape GARY VAN DYK
The latest incident of child rape in Delft has angered the community. In the latest incident that happened last week police revealed that a three-year-old child was raped by a person known to the family. The 35-year-old mother reported that she worked night-shift and left the child in the care of her sister.
While she was at work the father of the child came to fetch the child and when she returned home in the morning she made the horrifying discovery that the child had been raped. The 32-year-old suspect was arrested and is being detained at Ravensmead Police Station. Police recovered a bloody T-shirt and child’s panties as evidence. This latest incident of child abuse has angered residents who are call-
ing on communities and social services organisation to work harder to stop this scourge in our communities. Roland, a community social worker from Belhar, who did not want his surname published, said that incidents like this were becoming more commonplace in communities where drugs and gangsterism were rife. “I don’t know all the particulars of this case, but you hear about
these horror stories all the time,” he said. “These men get high, and they can’t control themselves or just don’t care. “But, this is no excuse for what happens, the law must take its full course and these monsters must be put away for life. “We need to fight for our children, for their safety and get to the root of this problem because it is getting out of hand.”

Chantel De Kock, a mother from Delft agreed that this type of crime was an evil that must be stopped and blamed it on children not getting proper role models in their communities and the effect of pop culture on the minds of youth. “I listen to young girls talk about their sexual exploits openly on taxis and buses, and you realise that they don’t even know that they are being abused,” she said. .
