MASIPHUMELELE: SHOOTING AND ILLEGAL SHEBEENS
Crime woes irk localsMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Public drinking, illegal shebeens and in-creasing crimehasMasiphumelele res-idents concerned.
Resident Raymond Jantjies says crime inthe area is out of control.He is one of 80 residents trained for the lo-
cal neighbourhood watch, but he says a lackof police vehicles, has left watch membersafraid to patrol.“Shootings and illegal shebeens are the
biggest problems. With no enforcement peo-ple drink in public and don’t care,” he says.In the last four months, police say, more
than 30 illegal shebeen owners have been ar-rested.Jantjies says a recent spate of armed rob-
beries 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 inthe morning and returning in the evenings.Former Ocean View Community Police
Forum (CPF) chairperson Johann Kikillussays the formation of neighbourhoodwatch-es in Masiphumelele has been an issue forthe 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 de-
manding salaries and there were quarrelsover who the leader would be. I instructedthem to speak to deputy chairpersonTsephoMoletsane to establish a sub-forum,” Kikil-lus explains.He says illegal shebeens have been the
source of many complaints. Every week the
complaints received are raised with OceanView Police Station.Kikillus says while Law Enforcement and
Metro Police assist where they can, the po-lice needed to act, but were understaffed.“There is one van patrolling between
Masiphumelele and Kommetjie; that is com-pletely inadequate. Masiphumelele hasstreet parties, where people drink in thestreets – one van is not able to deal with this.They do not have back-up and it is too dan-gerous,” he says.When People’s Post visited the area on
Sunday 9 February several street partieswere in full swing by 15:00. Men and womencould be seen consuming alcohol on thepavements and taxi drivers were seen withalcohol while driving.Agroupofmenseendrinkingnear 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 stockas it is illegal for liquor distributors to sup-ply to illegal shebeens.Last year Kikillus and the CPF ap-
proached several owners and asked them toregister their establishments. “I made itclear that if they followed all the guidelinesas stipulated by law, I would consider assist-ing them. This includes that no liquor maybe sold near a school, creche or place of wor-ship. But I heard nothing back,” he says.Ocean View police station commander
Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus agreesshebeens are problematic and says they con-tribute to crime, but does not agree thatcrime “is out of control”. He says unemploy-ment and the layout of the informal settle-ment contributes to crime levels.

ROAD SAFETY: OFFICERS NOT IMMUNE TO CONTRAVENTIONS
Traffic cop speedstersSTAFF REPORTER
They are meant to uphold the law. Butdozens of City of Cape Town traffic of-ficers who racked up scores of speed-
ing violations in November and Decembermerely got a slap on the wrist.
The speeding reports generated by thetraffic vehicle fleet’s tracking system weregenerated some weeks ago.
These reports reflect some 40 traffic offic-ers from across the peninsula, including thesouthern suburbs, excessively breaking thespeed limits on local roads.
Hundreds of violations were recordedwhere some officers drove at speeds doublethe speed limit.
Speeds in excess of 170km were recordedin 60km/h speed zones, that of 170km in80km speed zones and that of more than190km in 120km speed zones, many of whichoccurred in and around the southern sub-urbs and on the national roads.
APeople’s Post source said informal hear-ings were held, to investigate the violations,earlier this year.
“Although some of these officers couldprove that the speeding was executed in act-ing in the course of their duties, the majori-ty could not account for the speeds theywere travelling,” the source said.
The source added the times on the reportsreflected that many of these officers were ontheir way to or from work when the viola-tions were recorded.
Guilty officers were issued with warn-ings.
Apart from admission of guilt speedingresulting in traffic fines of up to R3000, a mo-torist caught driving 196km is arrested onthe spot and has to defend himself in court.
The City of Cape Town’s director for Safe-ty and Security Richard Bosman said thetraffic officers must obey all rules of theroad, unless they are acting in the courseof their duties.
“Failing to do so is unacceptable and suchbehaviour will not be tolerated,” Bosmansaid.
“Not driving in accordance with the rulesportrays a negative image. However, while
there are a handful of traffic officers whohave been found guilty of flouting the rulesof the road, the majority of our team are law-abiding and continue to set a sterling exam-ple for motorists.”
Bosman also said the directorate will bereporting the matter to council’s CivilianOversight Committee at their first meetingthis month.
The on-board computer reports are regu-larly issued by the corporate fleet for allCity employees, notonly traffic officers,Bosman said.
Arrive Alive andthe Road Traffic Man-agement Corporation(RTMC) labelled theseincidents as “unscru-pulous” and stronglycondemned it.
“It is in such that weexperience ever-in-creasing road carnag-es in our country; thatis regrettable,” saidspokesperson ThatoMosena.
Arrive Alive andthe RTMC distin-guishes speed as oneof the leading causesof serious injuries anddeaths on our roads.“It increases the riskof collisions and itcomes with a highprice. Excessivespeeding remains aproblem as some peo-ple have chosen to ig-nore road safety mes-sages or think theywon’t get caught,” shesaid.
“On average 20 peo-ple a day are arrestedfor excessive speed-ing, especially in ur-ban metropolitan are-as, which is a concernto us.”
Mosena urged allSouth Africans toabide and complywith the rules of theroad.
“There is no exemption for a traffic officerto contravene certain rules of the road in hisor her personal capacity. Any contraveningof road rules is an offence and is punisha-ble,” she said.
She further stressed that emergency per-sonnel such as police officers and trafficcops may, for instance, only disregard cer-tain rules of the road in cases of emergency,when executing their responsibilities andmandate.
ROLE REVERSAL: Traffic officers are not immune when it comes to theissuing of traffic offences. About 40 traffic cops were issued warningsfor traffic violations in November and December last year.

MUIZENBERG: LESS GANG VIOLENCE IN PRECINCT
Crime fightingboosted bymore watchesMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
The absence of a financial report tookcentre stage at the Muizenberg Com-munity Police Forum (CPF) annual
meeting last week.Speaking at the meeting, CPF chairper-
son Gerry Gordon asked attendees to acceptthe organisation’s bank account balanceprovided by her verbally.
However, in the absence of an official re-port, members refused to do so and ques-tioned why a bank statement could not beprovided.
Gordon said the previous treasurer hadresigned from the position and handed theCPF executive committee two files.
She added new signatories were beingadded to manage the account.
Andre Blom, CPF cluster chairperson,suggested a police officer from MuizenbergPolice Station be added as a signatory.“This helps; if you can’t get hold of a mem-ber you can go to the station and get helpfrom the police,” he said.
An election was held and Eric Wolhuterwas elected as the new treasurer.
Frank Bokhorst was elected as deputychairperson and Brigid Mentor as public re-lations officer.
In the chairperson’s report, Gordon saidthere had been many challenges for the CPFduring the year.
This, she said, included the resignationof the treasurer.
“With residents becoming frustratedwith the crime situation, we saw the incep-tion of many new neighbourhood watchesand more people take to the streets,” shesaid.
The CPF would continue to support thesewatches this year, Gordon said.
While the CPF did not host any projectslast year, Gordon explained, they supportedvarious community initiatives.
In his report, acting station commanderLieutenant-Colonel Mbulawa Lungisilesaid the station, which covers Kalk Bay,Muizenberg, Vrygrond, Seawinds, Capri-corn and Overcome Heights, was less affect-ed by gang violence.
He said following a flare-up in 2012, lastyear was not as “volatile”.
Lungisile added the biggest crime con-cern last year was the number of assaultcharges laid by family members.
“Crimes against women and children are
reported often and, while we have a high ar-rest rate for domestic violence cases, wefind that many of the cases are withdrawn,”he says.
Police officers were often caught in a“sticky situation” as a national directive re-quires them to take action against perpetra-tors, Lungisile explains, but victims oftenwithdrew cases a day later.
“We can’t stop them, they have a right todo so,” he said.V What are your thoughts on crime and communityinvolvement in the Muizenberg police precinct of thelast 12 months? Starting with the word “Post” SMSyour comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

OCEAN VIEW: BRINGING HOPE TO YOUNG ONES
Cafe feeds the hungryMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
In the middle of a derelict central busi-ness district (CBD) lies an establish-ment 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, baris-tas are warming up the coffee machineand kitchen staff are preparing breakfastfor a 70-year-old woman and her friends,as they celebrate her birthday.
In the doorway stands Pastor RaymondKatts who greets his patrons while softmusic plays in the background.
Established by the House of PraiseChurch, the cafe is a social enterprise tohelp raise funds for a feeding scheme.
Katts says the church feeds more than200 children in Ocean View three times aweek. A lack of funds and donations, ledto the parishioners launching the idea tostart a business to raise funds for the feed-ing scheme.
Two months ago, the church committeestarted a drive to turn around a derelictspace into a meeting place for residents.
“This space was (frequented) by gang-sters and drug dealers; it was in a reallybad state,” he says.
After gaining permission, the teamstarted clearing the building and repair-ing the leaking roofs. Coupled with a lickof paint and a donation of restaurantequipment, the cafe was up and runningin less than a month.
Bernadene Springhall, who now worksat the cafe, worked at The Loft in FishHoek for several years. A month ago she
was informedher bosswas taking early re-tirement and the restaurant would closedown. “She faced unemployment and wewere offered the restaurant equipment ata really good price. And so we got every-thing we needed from furniture to cut-lery,” Katts says.
The feeding scheme aims to providehungry children with a wholesome mealand a chance to feel safe.
Theydonot serve soup; they insteadpro-vide a warm, balanced meal comprisingproteins, vegetables and starch.
Katts says many of the children live offonly bread, as their parents cannot affordmeat or vegetables.
He also says many of the children hun-
ger for more than food.“They are misguided and not well cared
for. Many of them are neglected and justneed a hug or to feel like they matter,” hesays.
The children receive meals after schoolon Tuesdays and Thursdays, and again onSundays. During the week many of themreceive assistance with homework orguidance counselling.
“We also wanted to create a safe placefor children. Last week I saw three girls.aged between five and six, aimlessly walk-ing around the CBD. I asked them wheretheir parents were, they didn’t know. (Wewant to help the children),” he says.V For more information call Katts on 083 375 4509.

Plan to save MasiMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
The plight of a group of concerned residentsabout the living conditions inMasiphumele-le is being heard.
This week a team of representatives whoraised concerns about the living conditionsin the wetlands, met with premier HelenZille and mayor Patricia de Lille to discusstheir petition.
The petition, which has been signed bymore than 600 residents across the FarSouth, called on authorities to look into re-blocking, providing a second access road toMasiphumelele and a land audit for availa-ble land in the area.
Itwaswritten byLutz vanDijk andProfes-sor Andy Dawes of Clovelly.
The team met with authorities to discusstheir concerns andwere pleased with the re-sults.
According to the meeting report there aretalks about usingAbingtonRoad as a secondaccess road.
In his report Van Dijk says it is alreadymarked as a road reserve and used by manyfor walking.
He further adds about R470mwill be need-ed to construct it into a proper road.
Van Dijk says he is also pleased the Cityhas agreed to look into the possibility of re-blocking the area close to the wetlands.
The proposal was made to find a way toprevent future deaths and fires in the infor-mal settlement.
The team’s suggestion includes using ex-isting drainage channels to divide the settle-ment into five areas.
Mayoral Committee member for HumanSettlements Tandeka Gqada tells People’sPost a conceptual layout for a re-blockedMasiphumelele is currently being formulat-ed by the City’s Urbanisation Department.V Share your thoughts! Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

IN FAVOUR: 556 OWNERS SAY ‘YES’
SRA votingperiod closedMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
It is the last leg of the race for the pro-posed Special Ratings Area (SRA) forKalk Bay and St James.The comment period for official objec-
tions closed last week and the City ofCape Town is expected to make their fi-nal decision by the end of next month.
The proposal was first made at a resi-dents’ meeting last year. Since the firstpublic meeting, an additional 16 KalkBay properties have been added to theSRA area.
The steering committee’s Jim Russellsays a request for the additional proper-ties was made during the voting lastyear. “We checked with City officials; asthese properties were already part of Ka-lk Bay on the City’s locality map, theysaw no impediment,” he says.
Of the 887 properties, the committeehas received 566 votes. This is 64% of the60% of “yes” votes required by the City.
The proposal has a start-up budget ofR1.2m for the first year.
This, Russell explains, will mean resi-dents will pay about R47.31 for everyR1m of their property value – in additionto their monthly rates.
The commercial tariff is R141.83 for
every R1m.“In comparison to many other SRAs
this rate is by far the lowest. In our budg-et we have eliminated rentals and we’vealso proposed everything be done elec-tronically to cut out paper costs,” hesays.
Russell explains 65% of the budgetwill be allocated to public safety andthese men and women will be the “eyesand ears of the community”.
Smaller expenses in the budget makeprovision for litter and cleanliness, theupkeep of public spaces and a part-timesocial worker.
Residents and businesses who voted“no” or who have made formal objec-tions will now be interviewed by thecommittee.
“We will request interviews withthose who voted (against) or made objec-tions to discuss their reasons. This is re-quired by the SRA policy,” Russell says.
Resident Judy Herbert says she sup-ports the proposal.
While the community is fortunate tohave those who work voluntarily to keeppublic spaces, beaches and other areasin a good condition, she believes, it is nota long-term solution.
“It is far better to have a formal struc-ture which will keep the village in an ac-ceptable and safe condition for both resi-dents and visitors to the area,” Herbertsays.V For more information on the proposed SRA visitwww.kalkbaystjamessra.org.

Platform for rail complaintsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Crushed in a carriage with many otherfrustrated commuters, panicking be-cause the clock is ticking and your shift
should start soon, is certain to add miseryto anyone’s day.This is what many Metrorail commuters
encounter daily owing to delayed trainsacross the province.And while the rail service operator points
a finger at cable theft retarding their opera-tions, disgruntled passengers have hadenough of using the “unreliable” transportmode.Kylie Wilford has been a regular commut-
er for nine years. Metrorail has disappoint-ed her from the start, she says. She hasdrawnupapetition encouraging commutersto stand together and demand better servicesince complaints to the service provider“fall on deaf ears”.“Metrorail doesn’t care about its commut-
ers. As long as they receive the money forthe bad service, they are the only ones smil-ing,” she says. More people are making useof public transport owing to the never-end-ing petrol price increases, Wilford contin-ues, leading to Metrorail’s profits increas-ing. However, she says, it seems the moneyis not being used to improve its infrastruc-ture and operations.“They proved they could deliver a better
service with the 2010 World Cup, so whycan’t it be done now? Was all that just afaçade for the world to see?” she fumes.Poor public transport has a direct andneg-
ative immediate effect on business, saysCapeChamber ofCommerceTransportPort-folio Committee chairperson Peter Hugo.“Businesses lose money and that, of
course, has an effect on the economy, espe-cially when a large part of the province’swork force use rail services as their primarymeans of transportation,” Hugo explains.Metrorail is “robbing” commuters, Chris-
to Lakay insists. “Customers are being treat-ed 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 arail renewal investment programme to thetune of R32bn over the next three years.Theywill be focusingon signalling and tel-
ecommunications, station modernisation,rail network extensions and the generaloverhaul of Metrorail coaches.Scott says: “The benefits of the current in-
vestment programme will only be realisedin themedium to long-term. Themost imme-diate goal is to bring about visible and short-term improvements that changes custom-ers’ travel experience.” Dismissing theplans as “rubbish”, Wilford insists: “Metro-rail is trying to shut up commuters. Theydon’t need to spend awhole lot of money. Allthey need to do is fix their service.”Go to http://www.thepetition-

Choose a property that suits your needsDon’t get too hung up on trying to “read”
market cycles or interest rate trends,or youmaymiss the property boat alto-
gether.That’s the advice of Shaun Rademeyer,
CEO of a bond originator, in a statement toyoung people planning to buy their firsthome this year.He says in buying a home, as in purchas-
ing shares,market timing is not the only fac-tor that should be taken into account.“While buying low in the stock market is
certainly important, the reality is that themost successful investorsdon’t rely onbeing
able to buy stocks at the very moment theyreach their lowest price or sell at the verytop. They also look at factors such as pros-pects for growth or the sustained delivery ofearnings,” Rademeyer says.Prospective homebuyers should look at
property purchases in the same way, hesays.“Apart from interest rates and home pric-
es, they need to consider variables such asthe type of home they want, price trends inthe area they prefer, possible renovationcosts, transfer costs and the availability offinance, and be prepared to jump in at the
moment whenmost of these seem aligned intheir favour,” he says.Realistically, there is very little chance of
achieving “perfect timing” in the propertymarket, Rademeyer says, “so those who arekeen to buy their own homes should ratherconcentrate their energies on finding ahome that suits them in an area with goodgrowth prospects, at a price within theirloan qualification limit. Their chances of do-ing so right now are pretty good, but maynot stay that way for long because stock lev-els are shrinking in many areas and puttingprices under pressure.
“Similarly, while interest rates and homeloan qualification levels are currently attheir lowest levels in decades, they arewide-ly expected to start moving upwards againthis year, making home ownership less af-fordable once more.”Meanwhile, he says, it isworthnoting that
while interest rates are bound to go up anddownduring the termof a home loan, buyerswho take the plunge usually find that the ac-tual repayments tend to average out, whilethe value of their property tends to keep ris-ing, and gearing continues to work in theirfavour.

‘We need asafe place topark bicycles’I wish to point out that because of the loom-ing fuel price hikes many of us would bethinking of alternative modes of transportto get around the Valley.
However, has anyone seen how many se-cure areas there are around Fish Hoek cen-tral business district for storing your bicy-cle safely, so you can come out of the shopsand 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 bi-cycle guard to watch them. I will gladly paythem a small monthly fee – or R5 like youpay the car guards – to watch my bike.
At least I know I can shop with peace ofmind that my bike will be where I left itand I don’t have to worry about burning fu-el driving around Fish Hoek looking forparking.
At the very least I will be burning carbs.ROBIN DAY,FISH HOEK

UCT will face Nelson Man-dela Metropolitan Uni-versitynextweek inwhat
is shaping up to be an acid test.The Ikey Tigers produced
Jekyll and Hyde performancesin the first two Varsity Cup fix-tures, while the Madibas areone of two undefeated teams inthe tournament.UCT started the Varsity Cup
with a 47-24 drubbing at hometo Pukke last week, but seemedto turn the corner with a stun-ning, 33-16 bonus point victoryagainst arch rivals Stellen-bosch University at the DanieCraven Stadium on Monday.The visitors were the better
side from the first whistle andshowed their superiority byde-molishing Maties at two con-secutive scrums early on.But despite the territorial,
possession and set phase domi-nance, the hosts opened thescoring in the eighth minute.Inside centre Johnny Kotze
took advantage of the same laxdefending that saw UCT con-cede six tries against Pukke,crashing over with two defend-ers nearby. Robert du Preez’sconversation gave the hosts an8-0 lead.The match was more bal-
anced after the score, but theturning point came in the 20thminutewhenMaties flankBey-ers deVillierswas yellow-card-ed.UCT almost immediately
took advantage of the numeri-cal advantage, with flank Jas-on Klaasen spinning awayfromamauled line-out to crashover and Dean Grant tying thescores with a conversion.Ikeys grabbed the lead seven
minutes later, with the maulserving as a the perfect attack-ing platform again.
Maties committed morenumbers to stop the drive thistime, but the ball was spreadleft for wing Lihleli Xoli totouch down after Huw Jonesand Richard Stewart sucked inmoredefenders in themidfield.Grant missed the conver-
sion, but took UCT to a 15-8half-time lead with a conver-sion just before the whistle.UCT resumed their domi-
nance in the second-half andKlaasen popped up again toscore his second try. The ballwas ripped away from Xoli inthe 22 and Klaasen pounced topick up and dive over the un-guarded try-line.Grant goaled the conversion
and stretched UCT’s lead againwith penalty in the 61stminute.Maties looked beaten with
the scores at 25-8, but the hostsslowly regained a foothold inthe game.The Maroon Machine piled
on the pressure and it finallytold in the 73rd minute whenDu Preez darted through a gapin the 22 to score, then convert-ed his own try to take thescores to 25-16.With Maties hunting a con-
verted try and another score towin the game, UCT put the re-sult beyond doubt.Jones clung to a flat pass,
sliced through a gap in mid-field and was brought downshort of the try-line. But Ikeyscaptain Liam Slatem was onhand to pick up and dive over.Grant added the extras and atouch of gloss to the scoreline.The victory is UCT’s second
ever against Maties in the his-tory of the tournament, andbeating the three-time champi-ons will provide some muchneeded confidence ahead of theclash against the Madibas inPort Elizabeth on Mondayevening.
