Roof by nie-residensiële eiendom- me het gedaal van nege (April 2012 tot Maart 2013), tot sewe die afgelope finansiële jaar. Roof met verswarende omstandig- hede het ook drasties toegeneem met 105 sake aangemeld in die mees on- langse finansiële jaar, teenoor die 77 gevalle wat aangemeld is van April 2012 tot Maart 2013. Inbrake by huise is op van 283 (April 2012 tot Maart 2013) tot 311 (April 2013 tot Maart 2014). Moord is af van 13 tot nege, terwyl poging tot moord gestyg het van agt tot 10 in die afgelope finansiële jaar. Daar was 457 gevalle van dwelm- verwante misdaad tussen April 2012 tot Maart 2013 en 538 dwelmverwante misdade tussen April 2013 tot Maart 2014. Sersant Chrisy Lewaks, woord- voerder van die Macassar-polisie, sê dwelms, veral tik en dagga, is ’n pro- bleem in Macassar. Sy sê die statis- tieke is hoër as verlede jaar omdat dwelmverwante misdaad slegs deur aktiewe polisiëring aangemeld word. “Die Macassar-polisie hou gereeld operasies om dwelmverwante mis- daad te bekamp.” Sy meen die werkloosheid, dwelm- verslawing en ander sosiale proble- me dra by tot die misdaadsyfers in Macassar. Kassiem Anthony, voorsitter van die gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) stem saam dat sosiale proble- me die oorsaak van misdaad in Ma- cassar is. Hy sê die polisie doen goeie werk om dwelmhandelaars in hegte- nis te neem, maar meen dat hulle tronkstraf te kort is en baie vinnig weer na die strate terugkeer waar hulle net voortgaan met hul aktiwi- teite. Anthony sê die GPF wil in same- werking met die gemeenskap aktiwi- teite en programme reël vir kinders om hulle van die strate af te hou en te voorkom dat hulle by misdaad be- trokke raak.

Skietvoorval eis tweeDELIAH BRINKHUIS

’nSkietvoorval inBroadlandsParkhetSa-terdag die lewe van twee mense geëis.

Sewe mense (tussen 20 en 29 jaar oud) is indiévoorval,watomstreeks23:30 inWildegans-weg plaasgevind het, geskiet.Die slagoffers was na bewering besig om te

braai toe ’n onbekende man na die huiseie-naarkomvrahet.Toediehuiseienaarbevesti-gend antwoord, het die aanvaller, wat ’n kap-pie-top aangehad het, met sy vuurwapen opdie groep mense losgebrand.Volgens polisiewoordvoerder, konst. Mbu-

lelo Mafuna, het twee mans (onderskeidelik26 en 29 jaar oud) op die toneel gesterf en isdie ander, insluitend ’n 26-jarige vrou in diehospitaal opgeneem. Volgens Mafuna is tweevan die beseerdes as gevolg van die ernstigeaard van hul beserings na die Tygerberg- enGrootteSchuur-hospitaaloorgeplaas.Mafunakon nie bevestig of die voorval bendeverwantwas nie. Hy het gesê dat ’n 21-jarige man Son-dag vir ondervraging na die polisiestasie ge-bring is. Volgens Jannie Frieslaar, voorsittervan die Strand-gemeenskapspolisiëringsfo-rum (GPF), kandie voorvalmoontlik verbandhoumet die beheer oor ’n dwelmgebied in diewoongebied. Frieslaar sê dwelmhandel in diegebied het toegeneem en dat dwelmhande-laars kinders so jonk as 10 jaar oud as hande-laars gebruik. Hy sê voorts tik is die dwelmvan voorkeur.“Ouers verkeer onder die indruk dat hul

kinders net op straathoeke staan en is onbe-wus dat hulle by dwelmhandel betrokke is,”het Frieslaar gesê. Volgens Frieslaar sal diétendens indringend aandag kry op ’n gemeen-skapsvergadering Donderdag om 19:00 in dieBroadlands Park-gemeenskapsaal. Mensemet inligting oor die voorval kan speur adju-dant-offisier Rudolf Maree by 021 854 9100 bel.

Lesers se kommentaarDWELMS IS GEMEENSKAPPE

Vang die druglords almal. Al drie my kin-ders is op dit. My lewe is verwoes. Ek kan nieeendag meer normaal aangaan nie. Dit bly ’nswart gat wat hulle insluk! Ek oorweeg al self-moord!BOU GEMEENSKAPPE OP

“Bou in plaas van Breek” – Ek lees deurdie Helderberg Gazette en dis ’n riem onder diehart om te lees van so baie opbouende aktiwi-teite in Macassar. Dit stel my egter so teleuras mede-inwoner van Macassar as ek sien hoeons gemeenskap se fasiliteite en sport geriewe

so gevandaliseer word. Dit bring mens by ’nvraag, “Is dit regtig nodig om jou eie bates soaf te breek?”,want diegenewat sulke onnodigedinge doen, het geen respek vir homself of virsy gemeenskap nie.Ek vra dat mense liewer deel word van ’n

organisasiewat goeie aktiwiteite teweeg bring(daar is so baie van hulle), as wat jy eendagterug kyk en met trane in jou oë besef dat jyafgebreek het in plaas daarvan dat jy gehelphet om op te bou. Ons ken mos die ou spreek-woord,“Prevention is better than cure”.

SAPS too complacentWhilereading theHelderbergGazette, Iwas-veryhappytonoticethatcommonsensepre-vails in the answers on “lowering the agefor drinking alcohol by the youth”.I seriously hope that the readers’ com-

ments will be read by the authorities whowill make a decision and that the numberof “new voters” will not tilt the balance...It is indeed time that the authorities “adhoc” start to think about the well-being ofALL their citizens rather than their voternumbers!What bothers me more and more is the

complicity of the SAPS with the criminals!It isa fact, thathasbeenbrought to theatten-tion of the public by the Department of Jus-tice, thatanythreateningwitha firearm(re-al or false!) in an assault, robbery, criminaloffence, etc. will henceforth lead to a mini-mum of 10years jail sentence.Hence,whenapersonisassaulted,robbed

while threatened with a handgun, notwith-standing the declaration of the robbed per-son, the statement by the police is always

“robbery” and never stated as threatenedwith a firearm (real or false!).The SAPS officer who writes the docket

should know that by omitting this impor-tant fact, he makes himself an accompliceof the criminal.This is important information that is for-

gotten by the SAPS as well as by the public.JWJM (Hans) POOTGordon’s BaySgt Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson for the

Somerset West police responds:In all robbery cases that are reported to po-

lice, the members do make a note in the state-ment of the complainant of the method andinstrument used to commit an offence (suchas robbery).

Theweapon/ instrumentusedby theperpe-trator determines the type of robbery the po-lice has to register.

Without an instrument/weapon beingused, but only a verbal threat when some-thing is forcefully removed from a victim itwill only be a common robbery.

Working conditions questionedWorking conditions questionedMywifehasbeenjobhuntingfor fewmonths recently.Finally, a company In 2 Foods in

Strand contacted her to come in fortraining. On the first two days sheunderwent induction. The compa-ny’s rules and regulations were ex-plained to her.She then signed a two-week con-

tract towork from07:30 to 17:00 eachday. On the first day of her contractshe worked overtime until 21:00.This is when it was brought to herattention that employees are some-times needed to work overtime.The concern at the time was that

thereisnopublictransportthattimeof the night and the company doesnot provide transport or additionalbreaks.All the new recruits are women

and residing in Broadlands Park.Working until late at nightmeans

that the only way home for them isby walking past informal settle-ments where there are elementslurkingaroundwaiting on In 2Foodstaff, knowing the workers are aneasy target.Now that it has been discovered

that working overtime is a daily oc-currence, sometimes until 23:00, mywife’s safety is at risk by walkinghome that time of night.I advised her to resign, which she

did.Whenshedidnotreceiveherwa-ges on pay day, she went back to In2 Food to enquire what the reasonwas for them not paying her. Theytold her that her wages were heldback because she absconded, whichwasn’t the case.I personally spoke to a few work-

ers there and they all have samegrievances and more: harsh work-ing conditions, long working hourswithout decent breaks, hoursworked not paid accordingly.Aren’t there any labour laws that

protect people who are in dire needof work after being exploited by bigcompanies?A CONCERNED HUSBAND, Broadlands
