CAVENDISH SQUARE Jeweller robbed again S unday morning’s shopping trips in Cav- endish Square were shattered when four armed men robbed a jewellery store in the centre. Panicked shoppers were sent ducking for cover as shots rang out when the robbers fired random shots as they made their es- cape. Police are investigating the incident that happened when the four robbers barged into Trigg Jewellers, the same jewellery shop that was robbed about five months ago. Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk explains that Sunday’s robbery took place at about 11:30. The robbers fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of jewellery. “We are still searching for the men,” he says. “So far we know that the men barged into the shop and demanded that all custom- ers lie on the floor. No-one has been arrested at this stage.” He adds that the robbers escaped in a Nis- san Micra with a Gauteng registration num- ber that was partially identified as DL86** GP. The car’s rear window was shattered. Trigg Jewellers was also targeted in Sep- tember last year when it was robbed by four men who had been driving a white VW Jetta. Van Wyk has asked anyone with informa- tion to call Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Police are also searching for robbers who attacked a Claremont couple in their home last week, the latest in a string of assaults in the area. Brian Hodgson and his wife Carol, both in their seventies, as well as their domestic worker, were beaten during a burglary last Thursday. At the time of going to press the couple was still in a critical condition in hospital. Van Wyk confirms the attack that oc- curred in Washington Road at midday. “Intruders managed to get inside the cou- ple’s house and beat them and their domes- tic worker. “It is believed that the suspects only stole a flat-screen television before fleeing,” he says. “Initial investigations at the scene have established that the suspects gained en- trance into the house by forcing open the sliding door to the lounge with an unknown object.” Meanwhile, the Rondebosch Community Improvement District (RCID) is calling for extra safety awareness after a schoolboy was mugged in Tullyallen Road last week. Shirley Aldum of the organisation says the pupil was standing on the corner of Oak- hurst and Tullyallen roads waiting for a lift when two men in a red Golf jumped out and grabbed his cellphone. V Continued on page 2. A group of concerned residents from across Cape Town came together under the auspices of the #ZumaMustFall campaign in the CBD on Thursday. The march – on the same day as the Sate of the Nation Address – saw protesters walk through the city from Green Market Square to the Grand Parade. March organiser Christelle Scheepers, addressing the crowd, said: “We expect everyone to be equal in the eyes of the law, including the president.” PHOTO: LOUISA STEYL #ZumaMustFall meets #Sona

Decent bed to sleep a worry for UCT studentsGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
Student accommodationatUCTcameunderthe spotlight yesterday as RhodesMust Fallcampaigners constructed a shack on Resi-denceRoad to drawattention to poverty andthe housing needs for students.While the university says it respects the
constitutional right of any member of theUCTcommunity to participate in protest ac-tion on the campus, they also admit thatUCT is facing an accommodation issue.
“The main reasons for this is that some700 beds normally released in early Januaryin any given year could not be released dueto deferred exams,” says Elijah Moholola, aUCT spokesperson. “There are also out-standing financial aid decisions and a dra-matically increased call from students forhelp with accommodation.
“We suspect this was influenced by na-tional public statements about debt relief,
the promise to fundall those inneed anddis-cussions about free education.”
The university has 6680 beds for its 27 000students. Therefore 75% of students liveoutside the residence system.
“We are making significant progress indealing with the situation and have foundaccommodation for hundreds of students,”says Moholola. “We have provided tempo-rary accommodation, food and transport forthese students.We are appealing for privateproperty owners in Cape Town who mayhave rooms, cottages available to step for-ward and help us in placing students whoare still in need of accommodation and whoare in temporary accommodation.“UCT rejects completely the accusation
by Rhodes Must Fall that we are seeking toexclude students from accommodation onthe basis of race.
“Interfering with staff and operations atUCT compounded the accommodation issueas various offices that where meant to deal
with accommodation had to be closed dueto Rhodes Must Fall interference.”
He mentions some unacceptable behav-iour during the protest yesterday, includingthe burning of rubbish bins and interrupt-ing traffic access to upper campus.“We call on the protestors to cease those
activities that are outside the boundaries ofacceptable protest action and to respect therights of other students and colleagues.
“Whilewe fully support RhodesMust Fallmembers’ right to freedom of expression,this right must be exercised responsibly.We are again reiterating that protest actionis part of the fibre of UCT as an institutionand we will always protect this right. Butprotest action may not interfere with theright of others to participate in the officialbusiness of the university.”V Members of the public who would like more infor-mation about how they can help with student accom-modation can call 021 650 4934 or email [email protected].

An environmental project in Harfieldintends touseparks in the area to cre-
ate a community of gardening enthusi-asts.The Friends of Harfield Parks are rar-
ing to get going for the year with theirprojects that enhance parks in the area.It also provides a chance for neighboursto meet.The Friends have been around for a
few years now and have dedicated theirefforts to making the four parks in Har-field Village safer and greener for thecommunity.“Over the years we have aimed at con-
servation, improvement and mainte-nance,” says TinaGough of the organisa-tion.“Wehave planted trees, created a vege-
table garden and ‘secret garden’, in-stalled irrigation systems, designedlandscape plans and created flower beds,installed wooden jungle gyms and helda couple of community events in theparks.
“In October last year we introduced asuccessful garden competition in con-junction with Harts Nursery and LewNorgarb.”She adds that they work closely with
the City of Cape Town which gives themsome funds every year. But to achievetheir aims they need the community tobe part of their team.“We need help with fundraising and
sponsorships, donations of plants and la-bour. In returnwe offermonthly ‘gardenclub’ activities in the parks where youcan get your hands dirty with a spade,get to know your neighbours and widenyour knowledge from our guest speak-ers.“If you are not able to join in the fun
of the gardening activity you can alsojoin our members’ club and donate R25amonth. Details are available on our Fa-cebook page.”Tina adds their next garden clubmeet-

FROM PAGE 1“Within minutes footage was downloaded inthe RCID hub and a car matching a neigh-bour’s description was found within the cor-rect time frame.“Details of the occupants and car registra-
tion number were given to the Rondeboschpolice and hopefully an arrest is imminent.”Aldum adds that they were concerned
about a new crowbar method of housebreak-ins and thefts taking place in the area. “Wehave, sadly, had a crowbar type incident inBonair Road. When the resident arrivedhome around 21:00 she found that the frontgates and front door of her home had beenforced open. According to the police it ap-pears the front gates were smashed aggres-sively by a car. There was no alarm activa-
tion. Fortunately, no-one was at home at thetime of the incident. Police are reviewing thecameras at the RCID hub as well as any pri-vately owned cameras in the vicinity.“If anyone saw or heard anything that
could help the police in their investigations,please contact the RCID office and the infor-mationwill be forwarded to the investigatingofficer,” she says.RCID is concerned about the increase in in-
cidents in the area recently. Representativeswill be meeting with ADT and Rondeboschpolice to discuss additional deployment ofsenior officers with immediate effect and al-so try to pinpoint approximate times of theincidents, so that additional resources can bedeployed between those times.

Bring water bottles to Sans Souci for drought reliefThe “green girls” of Sans Souci Girls’ HighSchool in Newlands have created a schooland community initiative for the month ofFebruary. They will be collecting bottledwater for distribution to drought-strickenareas via one of the larger drought-relief in-itiatives. Surrounding businesses and peo-ple in their neighbourhood are asked to
drop off bottles of water, either new or re-filled bottles, at the school.
They have placed a bright yellow collec-tion bin at the school’s front entrance in Es-me Road, Claremont and will ensure that allwater collected is carefully stored andpassed on to WaterShortage SA for collec-tion at the end of the month.
CITY ACTS TO RESOLVE LONG VEHICLELICENCE QUEUES
The City of Cape Town has stepped in to issue licence disc renewal reminders. Vehicle ownerswill now be receiving renewal notices from the City rather than from national agencies as theydid previously.
This will reduce the inconvenience suffered over the past months which has been brought onby the failure of national government agencies to fulfil their responsibilities and which has putthe brakes on the issuing of renewal notices.
The National Department of Transport has not completed the transfer of the Electronic NationalTraffic Information System (eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Theyare not sending out renewal notices and they are unable to supply the City with more eNaTISterminals to enable us to increase our service capacity at our municipal offices.
Other City interventions to date include:• serving clients before the official opening time of our offices of 08:00 where possible• remaining open until the last person in the queue has been attended to• having staff work overtime to increase the capacity to serve customers• redeploying staff to hotspots across the metro
Customers are also encouraged to apply for their vehicle licence online by visitingwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices.
National government regulations now require proof of residence when applying for a licencerenewal. So please don’t forget to bring your ID and, if possible, please make copies of your IDand proof of residence as this will reduce the time spent at our municipal centres.
For a full list of acceptable documents that constitute proof, residents can visit the WesternCape Government website: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw

The Ardmore Ceramic Art Cape Town exhi-bition hosted annually at the Cellars-Hohen-ort Hotel in Constantia is back.
It will run from Friday to Sunday from09:00 to 17:00 daily.
This year the exhibition feasts on the visu-al wealth of the Kalahari for its inspiration.
Standing as a testament to the way inwhich life is able to adapt and thrive in theharshness of extreme conditions, the Kala-hari offered the Ardmore artists a thought-provoking fresh landscape and environmentto work with.
Their growth in talent and ideas as a resultof this new focus has been particularly inter-esting.
Ardmore founder Fée Halsted says thisyear’s Kalahari Cats exhibition has been themost challenging and exciting exhibition forthe Ardmore team to ever work on and shethinks that this collection includes some oftheir finest works ever produced.
Ardmore ceramic art is associated with an
abundance of colour and lavish plants withgalloping exotic spotted and striped wild ani-mals as subject matter.
The usual animals, like zebra, leopard, gi-raffe, elephant and crocodile, have been ex-changed for meerkat, badger, aardvark, os-trich, bat-eared fox, cheetah and black desertrhino, while other interesting critters makean appearance too.
“This new wilderness is a unique land-scape that heavily contrasts with anythingelse that our artists have worked on before.This is the first time they have had to usetheir expressive qualities to convey the starkand textured Kalahari, and they have re-sponded to the plethora of Kalahari life witha new awakening and interest,” says Halsted.
Part of the line-up of the exhibition is BettyNtshingila, known as the bird lady of Ard-more, who has been working with raptors assubject matter for the first time, as well aslilac-breasted rollers, scarlet-breastedshrike, korhaan and hornbills.
Her social weaver nest-like vases areworks that Ardmore is looking forward toshowcase to collectors at the exhibition.

with somebignameson the local jazz scene,but as the artist Fruit Vendor there’s a sideto him that you can’t put in a box.
“There’s been so many influences in mylife,” he says. “My aim is to use a combina-tion of catchy, singalong melodies, pene-trating lyrics, searing rap vocals and apoignant live show.”
In 2014, he wonMusic Experience’s CapeTown Folk ’n Acoustic Music Festival com-petition. A year later at the same festival,he was singled out by David Kramer forpossessing a “fresh sound” as an artistwhose work contains a good balance be-tween serious and comedic subject matter.
Last year he won the Western Cape legin the countrywide talent competition ofthe South African Artist Development As-sociation.
He has played at numerous events andfestivals aroundCapeTown andhas sharedthe stage with David, Die Antwoord, KahnMorbee of the Parlotones, PrimeCircle, Ka-ren Zoid, aKing, Albert Frost, AdriaanBrand of Springbok Nude Girls, Tony Cox,Jitsvinger, Melanie Scholtz and Majozi.
When asked about his stage name helaughs and says it came about by accident.
“My best friend dared me to write a songabout fruit, thinking I would come up withsomething comical. He was very wrong!
“The song that came out was called ‘YourFruit Vendor’ which tells the story of a dayin the life of a typical street hawker, thekind you might find in St George’s Mall orat the taxi ranks.
“It describes the steps he takes to surviveand thrive, selling fruit. While writing thesong, a very strong universal theme of hu-manity came up – that we are all just tryingto establish meaningful connections withthe people around us.
“Often during our many daily transac-tions we fail to recognise that the peoplewho cross our paths are human beings, justlike us, and that they too have dreams, nomatter how insignificant they may appearto be.
“Later, when deciding what to call my-self, I settled on the name ‘Fruit Vendor’ be-cause that is after all what each one of usis. As a music artist, I am literally vendingthe artwork that I create, which is interest-ing, since every songhas a different flavouror style and canallude to the range of differ-ent fruits we all get to enjoy.”
Fruit Vendor will be launching his debutGiants EP at Kaleidoscope Cafe in Clare-mont on Saturday 27 February at 20:00.
Accompanying him is Jason Skippers(drums), Rosco Roman (bass), Eden Myrrh(backing vocals and keyboards), AdrianRogowski (guitar) and DJ Hearin’ Aid(turntables).

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL
Ignoring debtwill not makeit go awayDebt has become a huge problem in South Africa, especiallywith the interest hike andunemployment – it is estimated thatover 9m South Africans are over-indebted.
It has been reported that half of South Africa’s workforceis currently struggling with debt repayments, with a stagger-ing 6000 vehicles and 2000 homes being repossessed monthly.
25 000 people are in danger of losing their homes. And don’teven mention looming retrenchment and unemployment.
This is an alarming state of affairs as we are entering 2016.What is even more worrying is that we live in a culture in
which consumers think that ignoring the issue will make itdisappear. The reality is that it will only lead to undesiredresults, such as judgements and an unnecessary bureau list-ing.
The question is, if you find yourself in debt, what optionsdo you have to rectify your situation and how can you movecloser to obtaining financial freedom?
Your first step is recognising the signs that you are in debt:don’t be in denial and accept that you need help.
Examples of behaviours are regular short-term loans, pawnshop visits, using credit cards to buy basic necessities likefood or even using your credit cards to repay your short-termloans.
Your immediate solution would be to approach your creditprovider – be honest, transparent and discuss restructuringyourdebt repayment plan.Most importantly, livewithinyourmeans and budget. Eat at home, not restaurants, reducewasteful expenditure on luxury items and even downgradeyour car, house or accommodation.
If this fails, you may need to seek professional help beforelegal action is taken against you.
The secondoption to consider is sequestration.This iswhenyour liabilities exceed your assets. In other words, when yourdebt exceeds the money coming in.
When this is the case you are deemed insolvent. Once thishappens, the court can sell your assets (your home, car andpersonal effects) to repay all your liabilities and debt.
The third option is administration. This is a process inwhich you hand all your financial affairs to an administrator,who will consolidate all your debt, for a fee, and repay yourcredit providers on your behalf. The credit providers receivedebt repayment on your behalf.
There is nothing more powerful than educating yourselfand selecting the right option for you. Debt places an enor-mous amount of stress on the individual and affects every ar-ea of your life.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, an admitted advocatewith expertise in commercial law.

Use your vote as abargaining toolAllow me this opportunity toexpress my frustration with theslow pace of major development inareas such as Eastridge, BeaconValley, Tafelsig and other poorercoloured communities on the CapeFlats and in Atlantis and Mamre.
It is becoming clear to me andmany other people that we are theforgotten ones, the voting fodder.
We have to wait patiently andpray for prosperity to tricklethrough to our areas. A play parkhere and there and we have to begrateful and shut up. Our streetsare being swept and cleanedwhenever the responsible personfeels like it and at intervals quitefar and wide apart.
Over the last few years, cablethieves have stolen just aboutevery Telkom cable in these areas.Telkom staff took a radical decisionnot to replace cables, which undernormal circumstances would seemto be a rational decision to makeand I do understand this.
Why should law-abiding citizensand those who supported Telkomover many years be punished? Ihave not seen Telkom aggressively
chasing after these cable thieves. Iam also yet to see Telkom runninga high-impact campaign in areaswhere this problem has reachedcritical levels. I did, however, seeTelkom rolling out fibre technologyin some of the most affluent areasin our country, including Constan-tia, Bishopscourt, Camps Bay andSandton.
Gang violence has plagued manyparts of the Cape Flats for manymonths now. Why should ourpeople get used to the idea of livingin fear and accept that gangculture is part of our lives? Wedeserve better than this.
Reality is that many of ourpeople are suffering, struggling tomake ends meet and living a life ofdespondency.
As a coloured person living onthe Cape Flats, I am calling onevery potential voter to use theupcoming municipal election as abargaining tool in an effort to seereal development. Use your cell-phones and make video recordingsof every public meeting beingaddressed by potential wardcouncillors lobbying for your votes.
Ensure that you have hardevidence of all promises, which youcan hold against them in the eventof them winning in your ward. Wecan simply not afford to give awayour votes anymore. I certainlyhave no issue with people beingblindly loyal to their politicalparties, however, at which point doyou become loyal to your ownfamily and your own community?
These elected officials work forus and not the other way around.We need to hold them thoroughlyaccountable.
Your vote is as good as cash! Youwouldn’t overpay for a product atone store when you can buy it atanother store for way less money.Why would you continue voting fora councillor or a party that contin-ues to make promises and constant-ly fails to deliver?
If your current councillor failedto keep your streets clean, failed tobeautify your area, failed to holdregular meetings, failed to providedecent play parks for the children,failed to assist with your municipalmatters, then do not vote for thatsame person or his party. If yourchildren cannot play outside due togang violence and unsafe parks,vote out your councillor and votein a new person.
Let your councillor work andwork hard for that lucrativepackage they earn.

Claiming UIF is‘controlled chaos’On 4 December last year I went toregister to claim UIF benefits afterworking for one company for 16 years. Igot there at 06:00 and joined the queueoutside the locked offices, as they open at07:30, and then you have a very goodchance of being attended to on the sameday, as they turn everyone away at 15:30.
After many visits to the offices, by 25January my papers were all in order andall could be registered and accepted bythe UIF department. I was told on thatday by the consultant that in ten workingdays I would receive payment. As shehad requested my bank details to com-plete a form, which she kept, I was underthe impression that on 8 February theywould deposit the money into my ac-count.
At no given time did any one of theconsultants ever tell me I must come into sign first. On 11 February I phoned toquery the payment. I was told: “Yourmoney is available, but you did not comein to sign.” So when should I have goneto sign? How would I know to go in andsign? I was told I could go in the nextday (Friday) to sign, they would attend toit Monday and by Wednesday it would beavailable.
I am taken aback by the lack ofcommunication. The system is controlledchaos. If I did not query this, wherewould the money go? These are employedpeople at a government department thereto assist the unemployed.

proved yet again that golfis played on grass, not pa-
per, as the four bankers and 17-year-old rookie Ignation Douriessealed a hat trick of victories in theHollard Provincial Challenge ofthe South African Disabled GolfAssociation (SADGA) on Sunday.Over 36 holes of rousing shot
making and spirited competition,WP rallied to triumph with 11.5points, defeating defending cham-pionsRest ofCountry (ROC)by twopoints. Gauteng finished a closethird with nine points.The competition was hosted by
ReichmansCapital at ZwartkopCountry Club.There were lots of doubting
Thomases who didn’t believe thatDouries would keep pace with deafplayer Ryan Lotz and the experi-enced leg amputees Morne Cronje,Riaan Spreeth and Trevor Reich.Douries collected two points for
WP in the first round and sur-prisedwith unexpected determina-tion at the closing hole in the finalround.Standing on the 18th tee, Douries
was one down toVirgil Foster fromGauteng and all square with NicoWentzel fromROC after the formerNedbank SA Disabled Open cham-pion won the 17th hole.“It was very, very tight at the
end, but Douries handled the pres-sure like a real pro,” says proud
WP skipper Pieter Verwey.“We had 10 points in hand, but
ROCwas on 9.5 points andGautenghad 8.5 points.Dourieshad tohalveagainst Foster and beat Wentzel towin the Provincial Challenge forus. It was touch and go, but Igna-tion was like a little terrier thatjust wouldn’t let go.“Experience is always great, but
there is a huge case to be made foryouthful exuberance, becauseDou-ries really did himself as well asWP and the SADGA developmentinitiative – the first swing pro-gramme – very proud.”Douries and Lotz both collected
three points for WP, Spreethamassed two points and Cronjewon theMost Valuable Player hon-our for the champion with 3.5points.“Reich didn’t contribute any
points this year, but the teamawarded him a gold star for inspir-ing everyone else to greatness,”says Verwey.

VOBwould count themselvesun-lucky to lose 7-4 to Athlone in alocal baseball league game atChukker Road on Saturday.VOB out-hit Athlone 6-4 and
could not take advantage of thetwelve walks conceded by Athlo-ne’s pitching.Both teams made two errors,
with the A’s defence securing acrucial double play.Grant Emmanuel (2 for 4) and
Jared Heynes (3 for 4) wereVOB’s top hitters.Athlone’s cause was helped
with two runs batted in each byRiyaad Moosa, Dillian Danielsand Mathew Diedericks.Grant Robertson (7) and Jason
Theys (2) shared the pitching du-ties for VOB, as did Alistair Vea-le (4) and Lee Marks (5) for theA’s.
Bellville 6-1 at Stephen Reagansports ground on Saturday.Bellville, without six of their
national players, found thepitch-ing of Jayson Ripepi a toughproposition and could only man-age one run in the ninth inning.Ripepi threw 8.2 innings be-
fore being replaced by brotherKyle, who got the last out.Jude de Gee batted 2 for 4 for
the winners.
Giants bomb BattswoodA dominant pitching perform-
ance by Kurt Pretorious help setup Maitland Giants’ 15-0 demoli-tion of Battswood.Pretorious allowed three hits
and struck out five in the five-in-nings game.Battswood’s pitching of Aneeq
Hendricks and Nelson Mapikacould not tame the Maitland hit-ting.
Bothasig see off CrusadersEven with five of their players
away on national team duty,
Bothasig still maintained theirlead at the top of the log with a12-1 victory over Grassy ParkCrusaders on Saturday.Crusaders struggled to come to
grips with the pitching of LucasSteinlein from Germany. Theyonly managed to secure threehits and one run in his five-in-ning stint on the mound. He wasreplaced byKeenanClark for thelast two innings and Crusaderscould only manage one hit.Bothasig, however, took ad-
vantage of Cameron Fortuin inhis four innings on the mound.Fortuin conceded seven hits,three walks, three strike outsand nine runs. He was replacedby Ashwin Kleintjies for the lasttwo innings. Kleintjies gave upthree hits and two walks. Cru-saders made four errors.Bothasig’s best hitters were

coach TheoHempe, sawGrassy Park experi-ence a change in fortune after a string ofdraws and a few losses in recent weeks.Hempe, a former Milano United mentor,
was indeed a happy camper to see his play-ers turn in an industrious performance todethrone the Ikapa side deservedly with afine brand of counter-attack soccer.Shaun Daniels scored the all important
goal in the second half.The second division club now occupies
fourth place in the standings, obtaining 29points from their 16 assignments, with thewelcome three points Hempe’s lads earnedensuring they overtook Ikapa for fourth po-sition.Ikapanowhave to be contentwith the fifth
spot with 28 points from 16 matches, which
consist of eight victories, four draws andjust three defeats.It must be mentioned that Grassy Park

Glendene keeps top spotThe defending league champions and cur-
rent log leaders, Glendene United, onceagain cemented their top spot with a valua-ble point away from homewhen they playedto a 1-1 draw against Steenberg United at thePhilippi Stadium.Bradley August’s Glendene United side
