TABLE VIEW: QUESTIONS RAISED; PROPOSALS DISCUSSED

Beachfront Local Area Policy Plan is
currently underway. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

W
hat makes the Table View beach-
front unique? What are some the
greatest challenges and what defin-
ing characteristics should be enhanced?
These are some of the questions locals and
authorities are pondering with the proposal
for aTableViewBeachfront LocalAreaPoli-
cy Plan.
In February, residents met with City of
Cape Town officials to discuss progress and
considerations for the plan.
With picturesque views of Table Moun-
tain andRobben Island, the beachfront is the
backdrop for many photo shoots and events,
but in recent months residents have cried
foul over the condition of the beach.
The erosion of dunes, collapsing parking
lots and buried boardwalks are among the
main concerns.
According to documents sent toTygerBur-
ger, the proposed policy plan includes vari-
ous development possibilities including the
conversion of Marine Drive into a dual car-
riageway.
City of Cape Town Mayco member for en-
ergy, environmental and spatial planning,
Johan van der Merwe, explains the plan
aims to guide future public and private in-
vestment and redevelopment along the Ta-
ble View beachfront.
According to the presentation, the sub-
council identified the need for a develop-
ment framework to address rising sea levels,
coastal management, recreational amenity
upgrades and economic opportunities.
Initial work indicated that rationalisation
of the transport infrastructure would need
to be investigated.
Work on the plan began in 2013 and a refer-
ence group was established.
VanderMerwe says approximately 49 peo-
ple have indicated an interest in forming
part of the reference group even though not
allmembers have attended the twomeetings
that have taken place.
The reference group was established so
that the project team could engage with the
community to inform the drafting of a plan
for the area. The input from the group has
been valuable in helping the City under-
stand the challenges experienced in the area
and possible solutions to these challenges.

FROM PAGE 1
The group has also provided input in terms
of the various user groups of the beachfront
and their requirements and needs.
It should be noted that the City has not
presented any draft proposals to the refer-
ence group as this will be done as part of
a formal public engagement process.
The City has invested R223 000 into the
plan for the completion of a conceptual
transport study, which has been used to in-
form the plan. All other work has been com-
pleted by City staff.
According to thepresentationgivenat the
meeting, a suggestion was tabled for the
conversion of Marine Drive into a dual car-
riageway. Van der Merwe explains future
development of the broader area, as well as
the needs of the Koeberg Nuclear Emergen-
cy Plan, require the road to be dualled in
the future.
Thedocuments also includeaproposal for
a slipway and Van der Merwe explains
there is currently a beach launch spot for
small craft opposite Doodles, a well-known
restaurant. The community expressed the
desire for this to be retained and therefore
it is reflected on the maps, he says, adding
that the proposed plan will inform future
commercial and residential developments.
Asked about the time line for implemen-
tation of the plan, Van der Merwe says the
project team is in the process of completing
a draft plan.
The first draft plan will be finalised in
the last quarter of 2016 and will be made
available for public comment as part of a
formal public engagement process. Imple-
mentation of the plan is dependent on avail-
able public and private sector funding.
Speaking at the meeting City officials ex-
plained theMaintenanceManagement Plan
(MMP) also played a role in establishing the
Table View Local Area Policy Plan.
Resident Mandy Da Matta thanked offi-
cials for the initiative and progress.
If youknowhowhungry this community
is to be involved with their own environ-
ment ... But there has been a definite lack
on the Citys side to get those communica-
tion channels open. The people are dying to
get that communication channel open, pro-
ductive and positive.
DaMatta further said if residents and the
Cityworked closer, the vision for the beach-
front could soon be a reality.

This is why we do this.
These are the words of local community
medic Kim Jurgens as she recalls the event
which led to the delivery of a baby boy at
Table View Police Station over the week-
end.
Socialmedia buzzed as residents congrat-
ulated and thanked Jurgens for her work.
She explains during the early hours of
Sunday morning she received a call about
a woman who had
gone into labour and
needed assistance. It
was just before 03:00
and I was told the
momhad gone into la-
bour and the birth
was imminent.
On arrival, Jurgens
called for an ambu-
lance and assisted the
woman to a more pri-
vate area of the sta-
tion.
She continued to
monitor the woman
and just before 05:30 a
baby boy was born.
I said its a boy!
and you could hear
the shouts of joy from
outside the room.
When the baby was
placed on the moms
chest, the daddy took
out a blanket and booties he had bought.
It was just so beautiful. I thought this
was exactly why we do this.
The ambulance arrived shortly after and
the mother and her healthy baby were tak-
en to hospital.
Jurgens says she had assistedmothers in
labour in the past, but this was a new and
wonderful experience.
Community Medics was first established
in Camps Bay in the 1990s and there were
a fewparamedics in the communitywho as-
sisted during emergencies due to the long
wait for an ambulance. From there it grew
and the organisation started incorporating
other communities in the City Bowl.
In an earlier interview, Kevin Jones,
CommunityMedics trustee andmanager of
the Table View division, said for a while
several paramedics in Table View were of-
fering the same ser-
vice, but in April last
year they decided to
formalise and join
Community Medics.
Jones said the aim
was to reduce re-
sponse time and pro-
vide a world class ser-
vice for free. As par-
amedics live in Table
View, they are able to
respond quicker.
Currently the ser-
vice is available to
residents in Big Bay,
Bloubergstrand,
Bloubergrant, Fla-
mingo Vlei, Park-
lands, Parklands
North, Rivergate,
Sunningdale, Sunset
Beach, Table View,
West Beach, Dunoon
and Site 5. Future ex-
pansion plans include providing the ser-
vice to Milnerton and Melkbosstrand.
Speaking to TygerBurger this week,
Jones said the service was only possible
thanks to the support from the community.

Smiles launch for 2016
took place at Table View
Shopping Centre this
past weekend. At the
launch, a representative
of the Fair Cape Cares
Foundation handed over
a donation of R22 000
to Operation Smile. The
aim of Operation Smile
is to raise money to
change the lives of
children across South
Africa who are born with
a cleft lip or cleft palate.
Since the campaign
started in 2015, they
raised enough money to
give four children this
life-changing operation.

I
s the Table View police precinct a victim
of its own success?
This was the question raised by crime-
fighters at a public meeting in Parklands
last week to discuss crime.
Amid news that the Parklands satellite
police stationmay close in 2017, crimefight-
ers voiced their discontentwith a reduction
of police resources. The Parklands station
is a satellite station for Table View Police
Station and was established to accommo-
date the growing population.
However, earlier this year theTableView
Community Police Forum (CPF) revealed
they had been informed the station would
be closed. According to provincial police, at
this stage the station is under review and
no final decision has been taken.
At themeeting it was said that senior offi-
cers from the provincial police department
had conducted site inspections and crime-
fighters say they have drawn incorrect con-
clusions that Parklands was a wealthy area
andpeople could simplydrive toTableView
to report a crime.
CPF chairperson David Harris explained
income groups in Parklands varied and the
station was used by residents from West
Beach to Site 5 informal settlement. He said
while researching police to population rati-
os, he found that in Table View there was
more than 1000 people for every police offi-
cer.
The fact that with the watches and secu-
rity companies we have achieved what we
have achievedwith a station that is 50%un-
der manned, is nothing short of a miracle.
Crime is the primary responsibility of the
police and we cannot be content with a re-
duction in resources as the area expands.
Thosepresent discussedwhether the clos-
ing of the station would lead to less people
reporting crime and this, ultimately affect-
ing resources given to Table View police.
They also discussed the possibility of pro-
posing the station be moved to accommo-
date residents living in Site 5.
The CPF has also written to the provin-
cial police commissioner expressing their
concerns.
In his crime report, sector manager War-
rant Officer Niekie Knoetzen painted a
bleak picture about drugs in Parklands
Main Road. He said that of all the drug ar-
rests in the entire precinct during Februa-
ry, just over 70% of the arrests were execut-
ed in Parklands. He said robberies were de-
clining, but officers were keeping a close
eye on all reports and thanked the Park-
lands and Table View neighbourhood
watches for their assistance.
Harris also reported on a plan to have
neighbourhood watch members trained as
City of Cape Town Law Enforcement auxil-
iary officers. He said the CPF had gone into
discussionwith theMaycomember for safe-
ty and security, JP Smith, and said individ-
uals would have to undergo three weeks of
training.
According to a statement issued by the
City during 2013, auxiliary officers are vol-
unteers recruited from neighbourhood
watches across the city andwillwork amin-
imum of 16 hours a month without compen-
sation. They will be deployed under super-
vision of experienced Law Enforcement of-
ficers in accordance with the Citys needs,
but will also patrol their own communities.
Harris explained they hope to have sever-
al people trained to assist with by-law in-
fringements in the greater Table View com-
munity.
TheCPFwill bemeetingwith thewatches
to discuss the training.

Summer Greens residents have raised the
alarm about vacant land on the boundary
of the suburb which they say has become
a hub of illegal activity.
Among some of their main concerns are
drug dealing, illegal dumping, vagrancy
and drug abuse. During a site visit last
week, residents explain the complexity of
the problem is further exacerbated by dif-
ferent land ownership. Situated along a
railway line, the three ervenmake up rail-
way land and twoparts are zoned as public
open space. The land in question is situat-
ed next to a childrens play park and a row
of residences.
Residents explain the land closest to
their homes is owned by the City of Cape
Town. We wrote letters in June last year
in the hope that they could assist, but to
date we have received no response and
seennoaction. Theproblem is the drug ad-
dicts who sleep on the Citys land and
shoot up [drugs]. It makes the area very
unsafe and the neighbourhood watch of-
ten has to collect used needles, says a res-
ident who asked not to be named.
Residents say a fence was erected
around Emerald Park by the City and,
within a few days, drug users had broken
the fence to gain access to the vacant plots.
Summer Greens Neighbourhood Watch
(SGNHW) chairperson Gary Jacobs says
the vacant plots have been a thorn in the
side of patrollers for several years.He says
in addition to drug use, thewatch is aware
of dealers who come to the area to sell.
The biggest problem is that the area is
beingusedas a thoroughfare. There are all
sorts of people coming in and the drug
dealers openly do their business. It is an
ongoing battle and thewatch patrols there
regularly. When they see us, they run.
He says he agrees with residents that a
permanent solution isneededandbelieves
the introduction of a permanent barrier
on City land would be the ideal solution.
At this moment there is no control and
theyare all free to dowhat theywant.With
it so close to a park we all worry about the
safety of our children. This is also a very
nice escape route for criminals.
At the time of going to press, the City
of Cape Town could not respond to any
questions posed by the TygerBurger.

Furore over a hub

A
Milnerton family has raised the
alarm about security at the Maitland
cemetery after their family gravewas
destroyed by thieves.
Linda Hannival says she was devastated
when she heard granite slabswhich formed
the tombstone of the triple grave had been
stolen and the grave site destroyed. During
a site visit last week, tears flow asHannival
recalls the horrible ordeal.
The grave site, she explains, was used to
bury several members of the Van Graan
family including her parents.
Its a triple grave and we decided after
the passing of my mom that we would now
seal it up. Three granite slabs were placed
over it and a tombstone with their pictures
and the family name was put on the grave.
Herewewould come to feel closer to our rel-
atives and this is just heartbreaking.
The theft was discovered by her brother
and the family reported the case toKensing-
ton police for investigation.
Hannival says over the years theyhad be-
come accustomed to the theft of small ob-
jects placed on the grave like flowers and
vases but never imagined that thieves
would steal heavy granite slabs.
Machinery used
As she places fresh flowers in the dam-
aged grave site she points towards the con-
crete edges and says: Look at this. You can
see that some form of machinery or tools
were used to remove this. Whoever stole it
knew what they were doing.
The incident has raised various ques-
tions about safety at the cemetery as the
family questions how three big slabs were
removed and taken without cemetery staff
noticing.
The cemetery is supposed to be locked
at night but one has towonder how they got
it right and what vehicle was used.
City of Cape Towns Mayco member for
community services and special projects,
Belinda Walker, says they are aware and
condemn such disrespectful and inconsid-
erate behaviour.
She says there have been there have been
sporadic incidents of gravestone theft and
vandalism in this cemetery but there has
been no other reports of gravestone theft in
the past year.
All incidents of theft of this nature are
reported to the Kensington Police Station
as a criminal case (desecration of graves).
We rely heavily on the assistance of local
police and lawenforcement personnel to as-
sist City Parks in addressing problems of
vagrancy and theft in this cemetery.
Walker explains the Maitland cemetery
is a very large cemetery (113 ha) withmany
points of access and it is therefore difficult
to secure it entirely.
She says with any facility that size, with
manydarkareas andmanypoints of access,
it is impossible to ensure that it is 100% se-
cure but the City has done all that it can
to secure it as far as possible, within availa-
ble resources.
Entrances locked at night
If loiterers or vagrants are found in the
cemetery after hours, they are instructed to
move. Vandalism in cemeteries has always
been a matter of concern for the City and
we appeal to residents to work with us by
reporting any suspicious activity at or
around the cemetery to Law Enforcement
on 021 596 1999 or to the South African Po-
lice Service.We also urge residents tomake
certain that tombstones and granite slabs
are well secured on the graves to help pre-
vent removal of the items.
Responding to questions about security,
she says the cemetery has 24-hour security
guards who patrol the perimeter.
The boundary fence has also been up-
graded recently, but it has been repeatedly
vandalised and the City Parks Department
attends to any repairs as quickly as possi-
ble.
However, depending on the extent of the
damage, the funding required for repairs
can be difficult to source.
All legal entrances are locked at night.
Asked how a vehicle containing three
large slabs left the cemetery unnoticed,
Walker again says: Maitland Cemetery
has 24-hour security guards who patrol the
perimeter of the cemetery. The City Parks
Department has taken this up with the se-
curity company hired to secure this ceme-
tery.

esidents living in Melkbosstrand and
the greater Table View area are ad-
vised to remain calm when hearing
the Koeberg sirens today (Wednesday).
This week Eskom officials will be con-
ducting a full-volume test of the Koeberg si-
rens and according to a statement, if neces-
sary, retestingwill be performedon individ-
ual sirens on Thursday and Friday.
Various communities in the 16kmUrgent
Protective Action Zone (UPZ) will be affect-
ed, but officials warn residents to remain
calm as this is only a test.
The Koeberg Nuclear Power Station Pub-
licWarning Systemhas been installedwith-
in the UPZ around
the station as per the
Koeberg Emergency
Plan to notify resi-
dents and visitors to
the area in the un-
likely event of an
emergency at Koe-
berg Power Station.
Koeberguses a ra-
dio system, which
controls the commu-
nication between the
control centres and
each individual si-
ren. Communication
checks are per-
formed daily and any
sirens not in work-
ing conditions are re-
paired as soonaspos-
sible. A weekly
check is also con-
ducted to power up
the siren amplifiers
to check their func-
tionality. These tests
are silent, and you
will most likely be
unaware of the tests
being performed at
any given time. Once
a year though, as is
legally required and
aworldbest practice,
a full volume test is
performed in order to check that the sirens
are audible.
The duration of the test is approximately
fifteen minutes per siren, and consists of a
voice clip indicating that a test is being per-
formed, and the sound of the nuclear alarm
(slow rising tone). This is where residents
are needed to play their part in the Koeberg
Emergency Plan.
Should you be in the vicinity of a siren
that is not working on the day that the test
is performed, please contact Koeberg Stake-
holder Management on 021 550 5227 or
021 550 5758. Individual sirens that do not
operate as expected may be retested on
Thursday and Friday.
The dates of the test have also been high-
lighted in the annual Koeberg emergency
calendar, which residents will have re-
ceived during January. The calendar ex-
plains the levels of emergency that may oc-
cur at Koeberg, what to do in case of such
an emergency. Residents that have not re-
ceived one of these calendars, can contact
Stakeholder Management at the aforemen-
tioned contact num-
bers.
Koeberg Stake-
holder Manage-
ment manager, Le-
wis Phidza, says its
important for resi-
dents not to panic as
tests like these are
conducted by nucle-
ar power plants
across the globe.
It is a best prac-
tice to do so. These
tests are done in or-
der to make sure
that our neighbours
are involved in our
nuclear emergency
plan so that they
know what to do
and what is expect-
ed from them. The
key objective is to
make sure that they
do not be surprised
and end up panick-
ing when, in an un-
luckily event of an
emergency at Koe-
berg Nuclear Power
Station, they hear
the sirens sounded
on full volume. We
thank the media,
relevant authori-
tieswhoare part of our emergency plan, our
neighbours and all stakeholders for all the
collaboration work with regard to Koeberg
emergency planning. Lastly we thank our
Eskom Koeberg Power Station nuclear pro-
fessionals and all contractors/suppliers for
operating and maintaining the plant safely
for the past 30 years and more, and we en-
courage them to do the same until and dur-
ing decommissioning in future.
Its just a test

Y
ou waited your whole life to buy a Rot-
tweiler puppy and when you can final-
ly afford one, it gets parvovirus and
dies within two weeks after you bought it
from the breeder.
This is the scenario involving a disgrun-
tled couple after they bought a puppy from
a breeder who charges R6000 per puppy.
The man got a 50% discount from the
breeder, his colleagues wife, and was able
topickup the longed-forpuppywithinweeks
after its birth, and with only onemore injec-
tion to go.
However, the puppy almost immediately
got gravely ill.
I had incurred costs from the vet when
I rushedmydog to the animal clinic inKenil-
worth after it had developed parvovirus, but
it was already too late. They said they could
try to help him, but chances were that he
wouldnt pull through, said the man, who
asked not to be named.
It would have cost him R15 000, he said, to
have the puppy treated, but he and his wife
decided against this and to rather have the
puppy euthanised, as this was too steep and
the puppys odds to survive were so slim. If
they get this disease, its basically over for
them.
Theman saidwhen they collected the pup-
py, the breeder said it was due for one last
inoculation.
When we got there, we were told the dog
still needed its final vaccination. We only
had the dog for two weeks. The breeder fail-
ed to get the third injection.
After the dog died, the couple had a disa-
greementwith the breeder,who they said re-
fused to reimburse them, or allow them to
have a new puppy.
The breeder told us the breed was very
susceptible to this virus and there was noth-
ing they could have done differently. Its al-
ways been a childhood dreamofmine to own
a Rottweiler. I saved up to buy this one, he
said.
TygerBurger put the question to the staff
at the Tygerberg Animal Hospital (TAH) of
what couldhave beendone to save the puppy
in this instance, and what others can do
should they suspect the virus in their own
dog.
According to veterinarian Dr Ryan Nor-
rie, they see a lot of darker coloured dogs be-
ing infected with the parvovirus.
We do happen to see a lot of what we call
black and tan dogs, such as Rottweilers and
Germanshepherds, but all dogs are suscepti-
ble to the virus. Some dogs have a stronger
immune system than others, he said.
According to him, prices for treatment
vary based on the treatment plan followed
and the number of days a puppy will stay in
isolation a highly sterilised room where
the animal is kept separate.
When a dog or puppy is admitted into iso-
lation, they will be placed on a drip that will
contain a number of antibiotics, pain medi-
cation, and a five-course dewormer.
Glucose, proteins and electrolytes are
continuously checked in order to tailor
treatment where needed. If a patient is not
improving with the initial treatment plan,
then we will formulate a new one until we
find one that is accepted, he said.
Norrie added it was vital that the patient
is kept hydrated and fed a big challenge,
as the patient will suffer from diarrhoea and
vomiting.
At this point the patient can be given anti-
nausea and anti-ulcer medication, and is
usually force-fed with new syringes with ev-
ery feed. However, sometimes nasal feeding
with tubes becomes necessary, he said.
TAHwill bathe the patient often and apply
petroleum jelly and baby powder to sensi-
tive areas because of the constant diarrhoea,
with fresh bedding given with every bath.
The isolation ward, equipment, doctors,
nurses and orderlies are constantly being
sprayed with F10 to ensure the virus is not
spread, Norrie said.
Their isolation ward is also monitored
around the clock, with calming music play-
ing in the room and staff dedicated to giving
the patients love.
We find that extra love andTLCcanmake
a difference to a scared and depressed fur ba-
by. It is very important to have constant
monitoring as you just dont knowwith par-
vovirus!
Parvovirus could be a costly killer

MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
P
roperty andbusiness owners inMarco-
ni Beam and Montague Gardens are
lobbying to complete a need analysis
survey amid plans to institute a Special Rat-
ings Area (SRA).
A fewweeks ago, the boldnewplan to tack-
le crime and grime in the business districts
was revealed by Jonty de la Porte, chairper-
son of the steering committee. According to
the City of Cape Town, an SRA refers to a
clearly defined geographical area in which
property owners contribute additional rates
to fund top-up services for that specific ar-
ea as per the approved business plan.
Those interested met at Milnerton police
station recently to discuss a way forward
and what they could expect.
The steering committee sought help from
Derek Bock, chief operations officer of the
Voortrekker Corridor Improvement Dis-
trict (VRCID). Speakingat themeeting,Bock
gave an overview of the establishment of the
VRCID, its aims and the results obtained.
Inhis presentation,Eddie Scott, an official
from the City of Cape Towns finance depart-
ment, explained there were 33 SRAs in Cape
Town.
He said the establishment of an SRA was
focused on top-up services and the munici-
palitys role was not to advocate for an SRA,
but to facilitate andensure legal compliance.
He said SRAs had four main pillars to oper-
ate from, and these include tackling crime,
grime, social development and environmen-
tal issues.
He explained that if approved, property
owners are billed an additional levy on their
rates account, and this levy is paid over by
the City to those managing the SRA. The
levy, he said, was determined by the busi-
ness plan for the SRA
which is sent to council for
approval.
According to informa-
tion provided by the City,
SRAs are governed by Sec-
tion 22 of the Municipal
Property Rates Act
(MPRA), theMunicipal Fi-
nance Management Act
(MFMA), the Companies
Act (Non Profit Company
NPC), the SA Constitu-
tion and the City of Cape
Towns Special Rating Ar-
ea By-law of 2012.
With the associated
costs of an SRA, property
owners are billed an addi-
tional tariff based on the
value of their property ac-
cording to the most recent
municipal evaluations.
This is measured in mil-
lions.
Scott said the road to es-
tablish an SRA was long
with various boxes to tick. Among some of
the main requirements is public participa-
tion where every property owner gets the
opportunity to vote. In order for the SRA
to be approved, the committee needs to ob-
tain a 51% yes vote from all property own-
ers. In addition, the committee will have to
address any objections raised by thosewho
vote against the SRA.
In his presentation, De la Porte high-
lighted all the issues inMontague Gardens
and Marconi Beam, with various images
depicting illegal shelters, dumping, evi-
dence of theft and general degradation.
He explained the boundaries for the pro-
posed SRA are the N7, Bosmansdam Road,
KoebergRoad andStella Road. Joe SlovoPark
will be excluded from the SRA as it will only
include business properties.
De la Porte said they were hoping to make
their full submission to theCity bySeptember
2016 to ensure theSRAis functioningbyJuly
2017. The first step is for property owners to
complete the survey.

@jeranji
A
fter spending 36 years in the South
African Police Service, Brigadier Ri-
aan Booysen says its time to make
way.
Booysen has been the commander of the
Wynberg police station for the past four
years. He is taking early retirement, as he
believes its time to give new blood the op-
portunity to lead.
He says its now time to concentrate on
other things, as he has done his work over
the years.
Born in Philippi, he matriculated from
ZwaanswykHigh School inRetreat in 1978.
He became a soldier and underwent mili-
tary training at Kimberly Infantry School
in Pretoria. Thereafter heworked in sever-
al departments, including the department
of transport. Thats where he got a transfer
to the police in 1983. Brig Booysen started
his police career atWynbergpolice station.
He was later transferred to Claremont
where he became a detective in 1985.
Career started, ended in Wynberg
Booysen says Wynberg holds a special
place in his heart, because this iswhere his
career as a police officer took off and end-
ed.
He was also baptised at the Dutch Re-
formed Church, which is a few metres
away from the police station, and met his
wife of 33 years, Judith, at the church.
Starting out as a young detective he was
worriedwhether hewould know the differ-
ence between murder and death due to a
natural cause.
Iwaswondering if Iwould be able to dis-
tinguish the two. Fortunately, I had the
best trainers, very experienced people, and
they made everything very easy. This was
my dream. I was very excited, but themost
exciting part of the job was walking out of
the courtroom knowing you have secured
a conviction. It gives a sense of fulfilment
and being able to go back to the community
and say this is what you can do, he says.
As a detective Booysen has had an excit-
ing career. He has worked on high-profile
cases, such as police killings, several Pa-
gadmurder and explosives cases, the Gold-
en Arrow bus killings and the murder of
Marike de Klerk, ex-wife of former presi-
dent FWdeKlerk.He also helped in the Siz-
zler murders case in Sea Point and worked
on several armed robberies and rape cases
in which international tourists were the
victims.
He was the detective commander at po-
lice stations in Manenberg, Nyanga,
Grassy Park, Gugulethu, Diep River and
Athlone, where he had to deal with inquest
and murder cases. He and his team dealt
with 1600 murder and inquest cases from
Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Lan-
ga in just one year.
He was also appointed as a police diver
and had to recover several corpses and pie-
ces of evidence.
In 2000 he became the provincial com-
mander of serious and violent crimes,
where he led units like urban terror, mur-
der, robbery, gangs, taxi violence, firearms
and the child protection unit.
In 2006 he was appointed the Woodstock
cluster commander and later that year he
took responsibility for the Cape Town clus-
ter. He was also the station commander at
Strand police station before heading back
to the Wynberg police station in 2012 as its
commander.
There comes a point in your life where
you feel you have done it all and there is
nothing more to achieve. Its now time to
give the new generation an opportunity to
take over. I leave the stationhappybecause
I know they are a good team who are al-
ways willing to help and serve the commu-
nity, he says.
Teamwork
Though he is a man of vast experience,
he attributes all his success to teamwork.
There are people who work tirelessly
behind the scenes and they make work
easy for you.Without them Iwouldnt have
achieved the things I have. What is really
important is to work as a team and a team
is only as strong as its weakest link. When
someone is lagging behind, things dont
work. With the cases that I worked with,
chain evidence was vital, although one in-
vestigator would have to see a high-profile
case through court. Having everyone on
the same level was of utmost importance
as you cant do everything alone.
Wynberg policing cluster spokesperson
Angie Latchman says Brig Booysen is
known as a hands-on commanding officer
who led by example.
He was a goodmentor to all of us. Many
look up to him for knowledge. He has great
insight and he does things by the book; he
is a disciplinarian. Its sad that he is leav-
ing us but in the same breath we wish him
well. He has been with his family in blue
for over three decades; nowhe has to spend
time with his immediate family. Like they
say, once a policeman, always a policeman;
he will be looking over us. We salute him
for what he has achieved, she says.
Riaan and Judith Booysen have two sons
and two grandchildren.
Monday was his last day, and its time
to focus on his business. From July he will
work in his own company, Riaan Booysen
Polygraph and Private Investigation.

After reading your article
(Spotlight on development
proposals, TB, 24 February), I
must say that I am extremely
delighted that the commercial
development of 105 Blaauwberg
has been stopped.
Please understand that I am
all for development, but not
now.
My suggestion is that all new
commercial development
should be placed on hold until
our electricity, water and
sanitation supply is upgraded.
This is in order to first cope
with our current demand, and
then any new commercial
development.
I live on Blaauwberg Road
and on certain days the water
pressure is extremely low and
the worst is the sewage stench
coming from my toilet. This is
after I have sanitised it and
dosed it with copious amounts
of toilet cleaner.
Thank you for allowing me

bakkie van Amerika afkom-
stig (TygerBurger, 24 Februa-
rie) met sy verduideliking dat
die woord bakkie eintlik
afkomstig is van die Ameri-
kaanse buck en key.
Sy verduideliking dat buck
die ding is wat jy geskiet het, is
nie reg nie, want elke soort
wildsbok word as buck
beskryf, veral as hy nog
springlewendig is. As die
voertuig dan in Amerikaans n
buck key genoem word,
hoekom gebruik hulle dit nie so
in hul taal nie? Hulle praat
deurentyd van n pickup.
Die woord bakkie is n eg
Afrikaanse skepping. Dit kom
waarskynlik uit die boeregele-
dere wat eerste met hierdie
ligter voertuie begin rondry
het. Die bak was die groot
vragmotor, en die kleiner, ligter
ene die bakkie. S eenvoudig.
Die woord is al so ingeburger
dat dit ook al in Suid-Afrikaan-
se Engels gebruik word, net
soos veld.

Afrikaans kan
net oorleef as
almal baklei
Dit was my oupa wat jare gelede tydens
die onluste opgemerk het: Moenie worry
nie, my kind, ons is so onbelangrik, hulle
maak ons nie eens dood nie.
Die ons na wie hy verwys het was
natuurlik bruinmense, wat volgens sy
berekening nie n noemenswaardige
speler in die politieke spel was nie.
Die laaste ruk gaan ons land gebuk
onder universiteitsgeweld met ernstige
rasse-ondertone. Sommige sal s dit is nie
rasgedrewe nie, maar uit hierdie hoek
lyk #whitepeoplemustfall, saamgelees met
#afrikaansmustfall, vir my na niks
anders as rassisme nie.
n Geveg wat begin het met #feesmust-
fall het skielik nou verander in n
rassistiese geplunder wat as #afrikaans-
mustfall vermom word. Al die vuur wat
kamstig oor Afrikaans gespoeg word,
word in die rigting van wit Afrikaans-
sprekendes geslinger. Nrens sien jy n
ou met n t-hemp wat s #bruinouens
moet val nie.
Word bruinmense
se aandeel in die
ontstaan en ontwik-
keling van Afri-
kaans so misken
dat daar nie eens
teen hulle betoog
word nie? Of is die
kamstige nuwe
revolusionre so
oningelig oor die
soetste taal dat
hulle eienaarskap,
en by implikasie
kriminaliteit, net
aan witmense
toedig?
Kan mens dalk redeneer dat die bruin
Afrikaanssprekendes se stemme oorverdo-
wend stil is wanneer daar vir die behoud
van die taal geveg word?
Is dit so dat die bruinman opsy staan
en kyk hoe sy moertaal aan flarde geskiet
word weens sy verhouding tot n vergane
regime?
Of was my oupa reg toe hy s hulle
maak ons nie eens dood nie, want ons
insae dra nie gewig nie?
Ek is daarvoor te vinde dat ander
nasionale tale tot wetenskaps- en regstale
uitgebrei word. Dat sprekers van ander
tale ook die voorreg gegun word om die
toilet-aanwysings in sy eie taal te kan
lees.
Maar moet ek teen die kantlyn staan en
toekyk hoe Afrikaans doodgemaak word?
Moet ek dankie s dat ek nie ingesleep
word in die geweld nie?
Afrikaans kan net oorleef as almal,
ongeag velkleur, ewe hard baklei teen
diegene wat glo die dood van een taal
gaan die oplewing van n ander aanhelp.
Alle sprekers van die taal moet ook

Diary | Dagboek
The Western Cape Association for Persons
withDisabilities (WCAPD) has found anew
home in Milnerton, which was officially
opened on Thursday 18 February by chair-
person Eddie Orsmond of Paarl.
Milnerton is not new to the organisation
as they have operated from Begonia Street
formanyyears, andRobertsonHouse is one
of 27 branches across the province.
We had to relocate and were lucky to
find a new home at 320 Koeberg Road, mak-
ing us much more visible, says director of
governance, Elmien Grobbelaar.
Our new offices are much more accessi-
ble to people with disabilities, especially
since we are getting a MyCiTi bus stop on
our doorstep. We will ensure that those
with communication or visual difficulties
are fully able to access our services.

School u.8 and u.9 cricket

Palme dOr, the fourth luxu-
ry apartment block in the
Oasis Retirement Resort at
Century City, has been sold
out five months ahead of
completion.
The last two of the 50
apartments in the 11-storey
building were sold in the
pastweek, bringing the total
value of sales in the building
to over R220 million.
Owen Futeran, a director
of the Oasis joint venture,
which comprises the Rabie
Property Group and a Har-
ries Projects consortium,
said selling out ahead of
completion was virtually
unheard of for a retirement
development.
It is really testament to
the high quality of the resort
and all it offers in terms of
facilities including a 110-bed
Care Centre and a Club
House that includes a 25m indoor heated
pool where regular water aerobics classes
are conducted by a qualified teacher, amas-
sage room, sauna, steam room, a gym, a li-
brary, lounge areas, a restaurant, bar,
bridge room, billiard room and a new, large
multi-purpose recreational/entertainment
venue and coffee bar with a patio overlook-
ing ponds and beautiful landscaped gar-
dens.
Futeran saidwith all developer units hav-
ing been sold at Oasis they were accelerat-
ing plans for the fifth block in the develop-
ment and expected this to be launched early
in April with construction scheduled to get
underway in June.
He said resales at Oasis were also going
strongly.

Arctic fox finds a BFF in the Cape
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
The first time she laid eyes on him, Alana
Witbergs heart was ripped from her chest.
He had the saddest eyes I had ever seen
on any animal, she says about Snowy, the
little Arctic fox that was rescued by the
NSPCA from a petting zoo in Johannes-
burg last year and relocated to Butterfly
World Tropical Gardens near Cape Town.
Alana is the curator at the park.
When asked by the NSPCA if we could
accommodate him we said yes in a heart-
beat. He was in a terrible condition over-
weight with overgrown nails and rotten
teeth. It was clear that he had a tough life,
she says.
The four-year-old male is a victim of the
illegal exotic pet trade in SouthAfrica, and
is believed to be one of 16 Arctic foxes re-
corded in South Africa.
Since arriving in October last year, the
team at ButterflyWorld had gone the extra
mile to ensure that the remaining years of
Snowys life another three to eight years
will be as comfortable as possible.
Arctic foxes originate from the arctic
regions of the northern hemisphere, and
are adapted to living in very cold environ-
ments. Thehottest summerdays they expe-
rience in the ice tundras are 17 degrees,
while they are quite comfortable at -50 de-
grees during the long winters, she says.
spent countless hours with him to gain his
trust. In fact, we have cleared and refur-
nished a two-bedroom flat with a bathroom
all for Snowys use. Since it is very stressful
for him in the heat, he is kept indoors to re-
main cool, she says.
Here he especially loves lying on the cold
bathroom tiles and was joined by Leila, a
playful female Cape fox.
He was very lonely and we brought
Leila in for companionship.Although she
seems to rule the roostwithher dominant
personality, the pair get on verywell, and
Snowy happily submits, says Alana and
adds that Snowy will soon be getting the
snip.
WhenAlana tookhimout of his cool en-
closure for one of two daily strolls, it was
clear that much had changed for this
adorable little creature. He was in tip-top
condition, playful and curiouswith lively
and inquisitive little eyes.
He loves his strolls andneeds the exer-
cise, but cant stay outside in this climate
for too long. He starts panting very quick-
ly if it is too warm.
Snowy is now an ambassador at the
park in their attempt to bring about
awareness regarding the exotic animals
pet trade. We hope that his story will
make people think twice before keeping
an exotic pet.
If you would like to meet Snowy you
can go along to the park during his daily
walks. On Saturdays and Sundays this is
between 10:00 and 11:00 and again at 15:00
and 16:00, depending on the temperature.
He will be walked on his harness by
an animal handler who can answer any
questions and assist with a photo oppor-
tunity.
