COMMUNITY SAFETY: NEW CLUSTER COMMANDER APPOINTED
Top cop to shake it up
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
W
ith community safety as his top pri-
ority, the new captain at the helm of
police matters in the Tygerberg re-
gion plans to shake things up with meticu-
lously planned strategies.
As of Friday 1 July, Major-General Mpu-
melelo Manci, previously the provincial
head for Visible Policing in the Western
Cape, is the newly appointed cluster com-
mander of the Tygerberg police cluster with
its seven police stations in Bellville, Brack-
enfell, Bothasig, Durbanville, Goodwood,
Kraaifontein and Parow.
A high priority on the list of actions is
the identifying of crimegroups, their arrests
and to achieve successful convictions, he
said in an interview with TygerBurger dur-
ing a walkabout in Wallacedene township
last week.
Wallacedenewas identified as a crimehot-
spot in the cluster from where many crime
plans are hatched.
We all know this region in Kraaifontein
to be a core area criminals operate from, and
thatswhy I amhere. The police need to infil-
trate this community and build relation-
ships with its residents. We have to work
smart and with the trust and cooperation of
the community we can dramatically reduce
activity in the hotspot, he says.
In the coming weeks Manci will establish
a special provincial task team to stabilise
the area.
We will start by identifying crime group-
ings, profiling them and dealing with the
kingpins. Increased operations, visibility
and undercover operations will specifically
be aimed at disrupting their activities and
not allowing them the space to operate, he
explains.
Criminals, and in particular house and
car robbers, will be meticulously linked to
all outstanding cases and we will focus on
convicting them once and for all.

He is currently meeting with the manage-
ment teams and detective branches at all
the police stations in the cluster.
I need to familiarise myself with all the
stations to determine the needs on ground
level where service delivery takes place,
he says.
The welfare and safety of police officers
is another urgent priority as are continued
efforts to build partnership with other de-
partments, NGOs and community struc-
tures.
In this respect, social crime drives are al-
ready in planning.
In partnership with the various commu-
nity police forums and neighbourhood
watches, wewill work together to stamp out
crime in the Tygerberg policing precinct.
Our mission is to create a safe and secure
environment where citizens feel and are
safe, he promises.
Major-GeneralManci joined theSouthAf-
rican Police Service on 17 October 1987 and
completed his training in Hammanskraal.
His first post was as a Constable at Langa
in 1988 and while here he was promoted to
Warrant Officer and worked as a shift com-
mander in charge of all reliefs at the station.
During 2001 Manci was promoted to the
rank of Captain at the Langa Police Station.
After several promotions, he became dep-
uty area commissioner at West Metropole
as a director in charge of crime prevention
and crime combatting operations.
He was also the deputy area commission-
er for the Boland area, zone commander of
Nyanga and Delft, station commander of
Nyanga and cluster commander for the
Overberg cluster.
This office will exact all its efforts to en-
sure that the above objectives are met, he
concludes.
This is our purpose and together we will
achieve it.

A woman measuring three times over the
legal blood alcohol limit was among the ten
drivers arrested for drunken driving in
Brackenfell on Saturday evening. She also
registered the highest reading of the night
at 0,94 mg/1000ml.
A total of 240 vehicles were stopped dur-
ing a road block conducted by Cape Town
Traffic Services on the corner of Old Paarl
Road and Brackenfell Boulevard on Satur-
day evening.
Upon arrest the eight males and two fe-
males were taken to the Brackenfell police
station to register a criminal case after
which theywere transported to the Athlone
traffic station were blood tests were taken.
After the blood tests they were handed over
to the Brackenfell police for detention,
says Richard Coleman, spokesperson for
the Citys traffic services.
Their vehicles were handed over to police
for safekeeping.
This road block formed part of a city-wide
operation over the weekend, during which
115 people were arrested for drunk driving.
Forty of those arrests were made during
operations in Delft, 13 in Macassar, 22 in
Mfuleni, 13 in Claremont and 16 in Belhar.
A total of 1108 fines were issued for vari-
ous offences.

A
s n vreemde man met die naam Vuyo
jou uit die bloute bel en vra om met
jou huiswerker te praat, kan jy maar
weet die skelmweb word gespin.
Die ou slenter waar boosdoeners mense
noop om duisende rande te betaal vir hul
huiswerker se kwansuise begrafnis doen
weer die ronde enpolisiewaarsku inwoners
om waaksaam te wees.
Arnold de Villiers van Durbanville is am-
per verlede week so ingedoen. Die man het
my vrou verlede Donderdag gebel en gevra
om met ons huishulp te praat. Hy het aan
my vrou ges hy is haar broer, vertel De
Villiers. Toe die huiswerker (wie se identi-
teit deur TygerBurger beskerm word) die
foon neem, het die man, wat homself Vuyo
noem, egter aan haar ges hy werk by die
departement van binnelandse sake.
Hy het haar gevra wat haar naam is en
of sy geregistreer is om werkloosheidsver-
sekering te ontvang. Sohethyalhaarbeson-
derhede gekry, verduidelik hy.
Dievolgendeoggendhet dieselfdemandie
huishulp vroeg op haar selfoon geskakel,
maardikeervoorgegeedathyvanhaar sel-
foondiensverskaffer skakel. Sy moes glo
dadelik haar foon afskakel vir die volgende
paar uur omdat die netwerk probleme gee.
Daarna het hy my vrou geskakel en weer
voorgegee hy is haar broer.
De Villiers se vrou is ingelig dat haar
huishulp die vorige aand aan n hartaanval
oorlede is en dat die familie baie dringend
R3 000 benodig sodat die ondernemers die
liggaam by die huis kan kom haal en die be-
grafnis kan begin rel. Ons huiswerker
werk al baie jare vir ons en natuurlik was
dit ontstellende nuus vir my vrou. Maar
eers toe sy hom vra hoekom hy so haastig
is, het hy skielik baie ongeskik geraak en
ges hy sal haar terugbel. Toe hy n paarmi-
nute later terugskakel, het ek die foon be-
antwoord. Ek hetmymedelye gedeel en aan
hom ges ons sal hom terugskakel.
Hy was weer eens baie ontstig en wou by
De Villiers weet of hy hulle gaan help of
nie. Ek kan nie glo hoe kwaad hy geword
het nie en het toe dadelik my huiswerker se
seun gebel wat verstom was oor die storie.
Hy het ons verseker sy ma is lankal werk
toe, en toe ek later na die kantoor toe ry
waar sy op Vrydae werk, was sy reeds
daar. Toe De Villiers die saak by die Dur-
banville-polisie wou aanmeld is hy ingelig
dat verskeie inwoners al met die slenter ge-
vang is. n Klaer wat n paar minute voor
my by die polisiekantoor was, het R5 000
oorbetaal aan n Vuyo in n e-beursie-reke-
ning.Die selfoonnommers vanwaar Vuyo
geskakel het, het ook ooreengekom. Dit was
063 784 7274 en 073 461 2586. Gelukkig het
ek nie n verlies gely nie, s hy.

Eyesore riles residents
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
A
fter almost seven years an empty and
unfinished development in Protea
Heights is still causing headaches for
surrounding residents.
According to these residents, who are
now demanding a meeting with local au-
thorities, the half-built block of flats on the
corner of Dennegeur and Buitekant streets
is an eyesore that negatively affects their
property values.
But what gripes resident Jan Breedt even
more is the fact that the City of Cape Town
has not responded to their recent requests
for a meeting.
Iwrote several letters requesting ameet-
ing but have heard nothing back. For some
reason building suddenly stopped about
four or five years ago, he says.
Threeyears agoBreedthad toupgradehis
security systems after the building became
a hide-away for vagrants, criminals and
beggars in the area. During that time he suf-
fered theft from his property and numerous
attempts were made to burgle his house
while the family was asleep at night.
The police removed various unwanted
people and even dangerous weapons from
this area, Breedt says.
After these complaints surfaced in 2013,
the owner of the property, Carl Gous, built
a newparameterwall to secure the property
and placed a permanent guard on site. This
followed after the City started court pro-
ceedings against Gous, which were halted
after building work on the new wall re-
sumed. CherylWalters, director of the plan-
ning and building department, told Tyger-
Burger the owner planned to complete the
building before the end of that year.
It is now another three years later and
still the building just stands, says a very
frustrated Breedt, who concedes that al-
though the arrangements made in 2013 ad-
dressed the immediate safety issues, the
building remains a problem.
The security guard that latermovedonto
the premises lives there without any servi-
ces, electricity or hot water and his wife re-
cently had to give birth there. It must be
horrible for them and I have on occasion
helped them with hot water to bathe the lit-
tle baby, says Breedt, who lives across the
street. The fact of the matter is, this build-
ing cannot stand incomplete like this for an
undetermined period. Nobody in the area
will be able to put their houses on the mar-
ket, should theywish to, as longas thebuild-
ing remains unfinished, he says.
Breedt says it is up to the City to resolve
the problem.
Weas residents pleadedwith themunici-
pality not to approve the development, but
all in vain. We were later informed that the
province approved the development and
now all these years later it has become our
problem. Government approved the devel-
opment andmust now see that it is complet-
ed.
Gous told TygerBurger that he operates
within the boundaries of the law.
I see to it that the premises are kept neat
and safe. There is no other law that forces
me to do anything else but keep the place
clean and safe, he says.
Gous could not provideTygerBurgerwith
a date of completion, but denies that funds
have dried up, as residents believe.
Off course there are plans in place to
complete the building in due time, but I can-
not give you a specific date at this stage. I
am a reasonable man and any of these resi-
dents can approach me if they want to dis-
cuss any problems about the property, he
says.
TygerBurger is still awaiting a response
from the City of Cape Town.

ike father, like son.
For Leonard Olivier (52) and his son,
Nicholas (23), these words were recent-
ly realised when Nicholas followed in his
dads footsteps by joining the City of Cape
Towns Traffic Services.
Nicholas, a Kuils River resident, made
his father exceptionally proud by stepping
out in the recognisable light and dark blue
uniform after graduating from the Gene
Louw Traffic College in Brackenfell last
Wednesday.
Just like his father, who is a provincial
traffic inspector at the regional office in
Brackenfell,Nicholas dreamedof becoming
a traffic officer one day.
My father inspired me to become a traf-
fic officer. I grew up seeing him in the blue
uniform and the respect with which he
dealt with road users, and I thought I want-
ed to be like him.
He always spoke passionately about
road safety and traffic law enforcement and
today I still lookup tohimwith that admira-
tion, Nicholas says.
Leonard is proud of his sons achieve-
ments.
It wasnt an easy journey for Nicholas.
He was turned down three times, but I told
him not to give up.
I could see in his eyes that he wanted to
become a traffic officer. I am confident that
he will grow and succeed in this role and
become an officer we all can be proud of,
he says.
Over the last year, Nicholas and 49 other
course participants received training ac-
credited by the Safety and Security Sector
Education and Training Authority which
includes instruction in the Road Traffic
Management Corporation guidelines on
road traffic law enforcement.
Henowholds the 12-monthFurtherEdu-
cation and Training Certificate: Road Traf-
fic Law Enforcement, which qualifies him
to become a traffic officer and act in that
capacity to make our roads safer, says By-
ron la Hoe, spokesperson for the depart-
ment of transport and public works.
LaHoe saysall theparticipantshave com-
pleted firearm competency training, driver
training (including articulated motor vehi-
cle andmotorcycle training), first aid train-
ing and training in fighting fires.
Nicholas reported for duty at the Caledon
traffic centre on Monday and says he looks
forward working at the centre.
Its an adaption to a new environment,
but I have my fathers support as well as
support from the rest of the family to keep
me focused and encourageme tomake a dif-
ference on our roads, he says.

D
avid Woodall, a Grade 12 learner
fromMonument Park High School in
Kraaifontein, was among only two fi-
nalists from the Western Cape to take part
in the recent national Applications Olym-
piad.
Of the 10 983 who entered the Olympiad,
only ten finalists countrywide reached the
final round, which was held at Bergvliet
High in Cape Town during the winter
school holiday.
Woodall did his school and province
proud by ending as a runner-up in the com-
petition.
The Olympiad challenges participants
touse commoncomputer applications such
as word processors, spreadsheets and data-
bases to solve a set of problems, explains
convener Michael Cameron.
The final round included two one-hour
tests and a four-hour project on the theme
of the Summer Olympic Games.
The project required them to prepare an
A3 info poster which the Olympic commit-
tee can use in schools to promote the Olym-
pics, he says.
During the project they also had to teach
themselves a new skill that is not in the
school curriculum.
For this they were given an eight-page
document headed How to create a pivot ta-
ble and manipulate it.
Iwas amazed to seewhat computers can
do, Woodall commented after the project.
At the awards dinner BarbaraMallinson
challenged the participants to see and
chase opportunity.
Entrepreneurs have grit, take risks and
persist through hard times. Entrepreneurs
drive innovation.
Tauhir Ahmed, the winner of the gold
medal, is also from Cape Town and the oth-
er Western Cape finalist.
Ahmed is from Athlone and a learner at
IslamiaCollege inCapeTown. Besideswin-
ning the gold medal, he will compete in the

onship in Florida, USA, early in August.

T
he new manager at service organisa-
tion Mould Empower Serve (MES) in
Bellville has personally witnessed
what difference the organisation can make
in the lives of individuals.
Lilly Franks started the new
challenge on Monday 4 July.
Before this, she worked at
MES in Kempton Park for six
years.
I thank the Lord for the sol-
id foundation that Ilse (Kemp)
has laid down and I realise
that these are big shoes to fill.
Ilses passion and dedication
will definitely leave a lasting
footprint in this city. I know
that the MES Cape Town staff
and supporters will miss her
dearly, but we must now con-
tinue to change more hearts.
Together we can take this
branch of MES to the next lev-
el, she says.
For as long as she can remember, she had
this longing to reach out to people living on
the streets. Because of this longing, she
started at MES Kempton Park and became
a staff member. It didnt take long to realise
she wanted to work with them, especially
after personallywitnessing the change in so
many peoples lives.
My own heart has also been changed in
the process and it has been remarkable to
personally witness hope being rekindled,
hunger pains stilled, the lonely befriended
and peoples lives changed for the better. It
was sad forme to leave the staff and support-
ers of the MES Kempton Park as my heart
has been deeply touched by many in the
community that has taken hands to care for
those that are in need, she adds.
She is aware of all thewonderful relation-
ships that have been built in the Cape Town
community and is looking forward to being
part of the positive change that is taking
place there. I trust that I have the necessa-
ry strength, passion and pa-
tience that is needed, but I will
never cease to pray for wis-
dom and guidance. I have no
doubt that the Lords goodness
and faithfulness will be over
the MES Cape Town branch,
she says.
Lilly studied BSC in micro-
biology and biochemistry and
is adamant that she will make
time to go hiking in Cape
Town to experience and ex-
plorewhat nature has to offer
and to absorb the beauty of the
Cape.
I first want to get familiar
with all the programmes and
get to know the staff well. I
have no plans to change anything in the
branch for the remainderof theyear. I think
itwill be good to first get a clearunderstand-
ing of how things are operating before I look
at changing or improving anything in the
branch.
The people working at MES inspired me
to change. The values of the organisation,
commitment and passion for the poor
touched me deeply, says Lilly.
I have this strong desire to be of service
to others and in the process I discoveredmy
true calling in life.Mywork atMEShas giv-
en my life a new meaning and I am looking
forward to the new chapter in my life, she
concludes.

Local dancers hitting a hot note
Christelle van Niekerk from Durbanville will be performing in Steam Heat by William Jones with Wesley Rudd
and Liam Gillespie.
T
hree northern suburbs perform-
ers will be on stage in the Art-
scape Arena this week in theWa-
terfront Theatre Colleges new pro-
duction Hit me with a Hot Note.
Christelle van Niekerk from Dur-
banville, FrancoisWagener from Plat-
tekloof and Kaylee Kensley from
Brackenfell will be among the stu-
dents performing from tonight
(Wednesday) to Saturday 16 July.
Conceived by Delia Sainsbury, Hit
me with a Hot Note is inspired by the
opening line of the famous jazz song
Hitmewith a Hot Note andwatchme
dance!
I want to explore the use of rhythm
across a range of dance genres, pre-
senting a new generation of choreog-
raphers and the growing wealth of
dance talent, explains Delia.
Hit me with a Hot Note is designed
to highlight the well-rounded and ver-
satile disciplines the theatre college
offers.
Paul Griffiths, partner of the col-
lege, says: The opportunity for young
artists to work in a professional thea-
tre environment further enriches the
practical training programme offered
by the college and deepens the under-
standing of the work they are training
to do.
Some of the students performing in
Hit me with a Hot Note, such as third
year dance major Francois, have al-
ready gained experience in previous
productions.
Originally from Middelburg,
Francois has performed in Dance Me
a Song, Legally Blonde (2014), Make
your Move and Pirates of Penzance
(2015).
Francois will not only be dancing in
this production.
As the winner of the best Jazz Rou-
tine at the Waterfront Theatre Col-
leges choreographic competition, his
pieceTheWaterfallwill be featured in
Hit Me with a Hot Note.
Between his dance training and
studying to be a tap andmodern dance
teacher, Francois won the novice sec-
tion of the choreographic competition
in 2015, while this year also saw him
take home the titles for best tap rou-
tine and best male choreographer.
Christelle, a graduate of The Stage
Performing Arts Studio, is a second
year student at the Waterfront Thea-
tre Collegewhere she is studyingmod-
ern and tap dancing. Shes participat-
ed in and choreographed for a number
of the colleges previous productions.
KayleeKensley completed twoyears
at the UCT School of Dance as a degree
student and is now a first year at the
Waterfront Theatre School.
She majors in dance and musical
theatre and has taken part in various
performances including the Baxter
Dance Festival in 2014 aswell as show-
casing her own choreography.
In addition to highlighting the best
of the colleges dance faculty, Hit me
with a Hot Note is a fundraising event
for the Waterfront Theatre Colleges
bursary fund which helps support
youngartistswhomaynot have the re-
sources to access further training.
All proceeds from the show go to
funding a future generation of dance
practitioners.

Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 July at 20:00
with a 15:00matinee show on Saturday. Tick
