While revellers on party buses along the At-lantic Seaboard may be having a good time,residents have been left holding their earsclosed due to the noise caused by the merri-ment, which often lasts until the early hoursof the morning.Several complaints have been directed to
ward councillor Beverley Schafer.The complaints concern “excessive noise
emanating from party buses along VictoriaRoad in Bakoven, Camps Bay, and Cliftoncontinuing along Beach Road in Sea Pointtowards the City Bowl. It’s become extreme-ly unpleasant for residents particularly lateat night, with intoxicated revellers shoutingover and above the loud music emanatingfrom the bus”, she says.The noise is often so loud is shakes the
beds in surrounding homes, often as late asmidnight or 01:00 in the morning, a Cliftonresident says.“Thebuses just lookmessy,” resident Jurg
Slabbert says.“The only good thing about them is that
they – and the noise – move. It has quite aneffect if you are constantly subjected to it.”The issue of loud party buses was also
raised at the Mouille Point Ratepayers’ As-sociation’s annual meeting.Noise emanating from the buses should
not be a problem, says Ben van derWalt, theowner of recently closed party bus companySmoking Lizard.“The buses are designed with foam in the
walls so that you can’t hear the noise fromoutside. The buses also have air-condition-ing so that no windows need to be opened,as that increases the noise. Because the bus-es are moving, the only time there should beconcentrated noise is if the bus stops in frontof a club.”In the case of open-top buses, noise has to
be reduced in residential areas, owner ofKBM Party Buses Chubasco Phillips says.“We bring down the volume as soon as wereach residential areas, which both the driv-
er and the DJ know.“We also have a bouncer on board to keep
order,” he explains.Phillips sayshehasn’t had any complaints
in four years, and does not serve alcohol onthe bus.“There are a couple of companies that run
illegally, and that makes it difficult for therest of us.”However, enforcing City bylaws is prov-
ing to be a challenge, Schafer says.Under the new liquor act, anyone that con-
sumes liquor in a vehicle driven or parkedon a public road or allows liquor containedin an open container to be in a vehicle whileit is being driven on a public road is liableto be prosecuted, unless the vehicle is li-censed for the sale and consumption of liq-uor.The company previously allowed clients
to bring their own liquor onto the bus, butthis would be prohibited with the new law,Van der Walt says.Law Enforcement at the City has commit-
ted to enforce this section of the liquor act,Schafer says, but enforcing bylaws on noisecan be far more difficult.The noise regulations do not adequately
address noise caused by people, Schafersays, and because the reports are often sub-jective, the prosecution process can belengthy.A signed affidavit is needed to record the
instances of noise violations.The complainantmust thenalsobewilling
to testify in court if the public prosecutor iswilling to try the case.This does not often happen, Schafer says.“Our experiencehas shown that the prose-
cutors are reluctant to take on cases whereonly one witness is complaining, as theirchances of winning the case are slim.”Schafer’s solution is to suggest an amend-
ment to the bylaw, saying no disturbancemay be created by a person in a public placeand no noise from residences or businessesshould be audible in a public place, exceptfor the purposes of announcements for pub-lic meetings or due to street entertainers.Any complaints should be reported as a
disturbance of the peace to the City’s LawEnforcement section on (021) 596 1999, or tothe police as and when it occurs.

LAILA MAJIET
He was supposed to be out for less than aminute. But 16 years later, his parents arestill waiting for Matthew Ohlson to walkthrough the front door.If he should, it will be as a 25-year-oldman.His parents haven’t seen him since he dis-
appeared on 24 March 1997.The then nine-year-old boy had gone into
the street outsidehishome to collect thedirt-bin and never came back.Statistics reveal that a child goes missing
every six hours in South Africa, accordingto the Bureau of Missing Children.In the Western Cape, most missing chil-
dren cases are reported in Mitchell’s Plain,Nyanga and Delft, police officials confirm.While the number of children reported
missing has decreased over the years, inci-dents of little ones who have still not beenfound in the province have increased.Last year, 164 children were reported
missing in the Western Cape. Of these, 147were found, while 16 families are yet to gainclosure as the whereabouts of their childrenremain unknown.This year alone, 58 children have already
been reported missing in the province andonly 42 of them have been reunited withtheir families.Matthew’s mother Michelle Ohlson de-
scribes her ordeal as a long journeywith fewanswers.“It never gets easier; you just learn how
to better deal with the situation,” she says.Michelle remembers her second eldest son
as being extremely inquisitive and alwaystrying to help fix appliances.The Ohlsons have since moved from their
Westridgehome inabid tomakea fresh startfor the sake of their three other children.“But I don’t know how to put this behind
me. I will never stop having faith that he isstill out there. While other people will stoplooking for your child, as a parent you nevergive up.”The experience has urged her to reach out
to others in the same situation.TheOhlsons started Concerned Parents of
Missing Children, an organisation whichhelps families come to terms with the disap-pearance of a loved one.The group also assists in tracing the per-
son’s whereabouts.“I do it because easing the pain of other
mothers comforts me,” she explains.New cases arrive on the desks of chil-
dren’s organisations daily.As the school holidays see children run-
ning around unattended in search of excite-ment and adventure, parents are urged tokeep constant tabs on the whereabouts oftheir offspring.The most important point to remember is
to report your childmissing as soon as possi-ble.There are no waiting periods, Pink Ladies
director Dessie Rechner stresses.“Immediately report a missing person to
the police and contact Pink Ladies who willassist the police in finding the missing per-son,” she urges.To prevent them from disappearing in the
first place, PinkLadies spokespersonLouiseBotha encourages guardians to know theirchildren’s comings and goings at all times.“Parents should know their children’s
friends and really involve themselves in
their child’s life.”There are no easy answers ondealingwith
the traumaof a childwhohasbeenabducted,says Trauma Centre director Valdi vanReenen-Le Roux.Reaching closure is a personal process
which may never become a reality, she ex-plains.“At best, parents can be supported by fo-
cusing on practising positive, appropriatecoping mechanisms. It is important to seekthe assistance of a psychologist for supportin coming to terms with a missing child.”Gnawing uncertainty further retards
healing.“They may continue hoping the child will
return and will be hesitant to make lifechanges that would make it difficult for the
child to find them. Given the complexity ofthe situation, it is crucial to use the servicesof a psychologist,” she says.“It is important that every immediate fam-
ily member feels comfortable with the wayin which closure is intended to occur. It willmean discussions and open communicationare needed.”Parent neglect, while the primary cause of
children going missing, is not the onlycause, says Child Welfare’s Niresh Ramk-lass.“Children sometimes run away. This is
something that can be addressed if a parentis truly listening. It is important that par-ents communicate effectively and makethem feel safe and loved in their homes,” hesays.
WATCHFUL EYE: Parents are urged to know their children’s whereabouts at all times.

Patients have been left in the dark over pow-er outages at New Somerset Hospital.An outage on Tuesday left the hospitalwithout electricity for three and a halfhours.With no generator in the main building,support ambulances were called in to trans-fer patients.Fortunately, no patients needed to betransported that day.In an attempt to find out what caused theoutage, engineers then switched off the elec-tricity for most of Thursday.The power was off from 8:00 to midnight.Ethne Julius, the spokesperson for theprovince’s regional, specialist and psychiat-ric hospitals, says the cause of thepowerout-age in the main section of the hospital is un-known at this stage.“Electrical engineers worked on the sys-tem on Thursday to effect repairs to thetransformer and compressor system and totest all parts of the system for faults thatmaylead to uncontrolled power surges,” shesays.The hospital’s outpatient department,
adult Intensive Care Unit and EmergencyCentre remained fully functional on Thurs-day, with a main generator being used tosupply the electricity.Additional portable generators were onsite.Patients say they have been left frazzledby the experience.“I had to wait to have my arm x-rayed af-ter I injured my hand,” says ManbongoHembi. “I’munemployed and can’t afford togo to another hospital.”Another patient, who asked not to benamed, called for the problem to be sortedout as soon as possible.“We are in danger. It’s a worry. What ifone of the patients needs an emergency op-eration? They must try to fix it as soon aspossible because it is putting people’s livesin danger.”However, Julius says the outage had noimpact on healthcare services.“New Somerset Hospital has contingencyplans in place to ensure that all patients re-quiring emergency care are attended to andreferred appropriately, where necessary.”She added that patients inneed of surgerywere transferred to Groote Schuur Hospi-
tal, and although the labour ward remainedfunctional, patients with urgent caesareansand at-risk labour were transferred to Mow-brayMaternityHospital andGroote Schuur.

Capetonians will have the final say if CoenSteytler, who lost his status as a street namein the Mother City, will be recognised as atraffic circle.But the question is if the traffic circle atHeerengracht is not already named DiasCircle.Coen Steytler was changed toWalter Sisu-lu Avenue following a City of Cape Town de-cision in August to change street names.The City subsequently received numer-ous requests that Coen Steytler be recog-
nised in the city.Steytler played a significant role in rede-veloping the seafront of Cape Town.About 400ha of land was reclaimed in theprocess.And after being stripped of his status,Coen Steytler is now being lauded by theCity.In a statement, the City said: “To recog-nise (Steytler’s) remarkable achievement inhis role to redevelop the seafront”, peoplecan now indicate if they agree that the Heer-engracht Circle be renamed Coen SteytlerCircle.
A statue of Bartholomeus Dias stands atthe circle, but the City says the circle doesnot have an official name.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater Brett Herronsays the likelihood the circle already has anamehas been investigated and theCity hasmade certain it does not have a name.In an official City document which callsfor a tender for construction work in the vi-cinity of the circle, the circle is referred toas Dias Circle.Herron, however, maintains the circledoes not have a name.

Madiba will not only live on in the heartsof Capetonians, but may be immortalised ifa proposed statue of the former presidentis approved for the Grand Parade.
The earmarked site is opposite the CityHall, fromwhichMandelamadehishistoricspeech shortly after his release from prisonin 1990.
The proposal appeared before the City ofCape Town’s Naming Committee lastmonth.
“A number of sites were considered, in-cluding the Grand Parade as well as theCompany’s Garden. Comments were re-ceived fromanumberof departments on themerits of each proposed site,” says BrettHerron, Mayoral Committee member andchairperson of the Naming Committee.
The Company’s Garden was soon dis-missed as having too much “memorial clut-ter” and very little space for a new statue.
Proposed locations also included Govern-ment Avenue and Station Square.
Capetonian Sizo Mahlangu says theGrand Parade is the right spot.
“It’s perfect because he spoke at CityHall.The timing is right. It’s the time to be sup-portive,” Mahlangu says.
Another Cape Town resident, RehanChoudhry, says there can never be enoughtributes to the freedom fighter.
“There is quite a bit of tribute to him, butthere is the need for something permanentin the city centre.”
Another suggestion put to the committeewas that the statue should have a “more cre-ative approach”as there aremany“typical”statues scattered around the country.
“The Naming Committee has not made afinal determination on the possible site ofsuch a statue yet. As chairperson of theNaming Committee, I will meet with themayor and the deputy mayor to discuss theproposal,” Herron says.
The project would be ideally fundedthrough public donations after a public par-ticipation process.

ThieveshaveputMuslim faithful on thebackfoot following thefts of shoes during prayersat mosques.
Abdul Gamiet, caretaker of the Zinatul Is-lam Mosque in Cape Town, says Muslims’shoes are being stolen from the foyers duringprayer times.
The shoes were kept there duringworship.“These days we keep a close eye on people
who leavemosque early because they are theones who steal the shoes when no one is inthe vicinity,” Gamiet says.
“The thieves steal at a number of differentmosques – one after the other – and then sellthe shoes on the street at R40 to R50 a pair.”
Gamiet says the thieves don’t limit them-selves to stealing shoes. They also pilfer cop-ies of the Quran which they resell.
“The thefts areheartbreaking. People can’teven focus on their worship because theirthoughtswander to the safety of their shoes.”
Habib Bewley of the Jumu’a Mosque inOranjezicht says the theft of shoes is also aproblem at their mosque.
AmeerodienduToit from theOwalMosquein Bo-Kaap is “upset over the trend, but donot contact the police because they do notwant to drive the case to that point”.
YunusMohamed, a photographer, is one ofthe victims who has had his shoes stolenwhile at mosque.
He nowwears cheaper shoes to prayer ses-sions. “That’s how I lost my Nikes. I had towalk home barefoot. I now wear cheapershoes that they won’t steal.”
Various mosques are now putting up addi-tional security measures, such as securityguards and lockers.

KO Challenge finalists namedLIAM MOSES
The gruelling play-off rounds of the 10thannual Engen Knockout Challengecame to an end on Sunday, with 13
teams sealing qualification for the finals.Cape Town’s premier under-17 tourna-
ment started at the beginning of June, withover 100 teams fighting to join hosts Santos,defending champions Ajax Cape Town andNational First Division (NFD) side ChippaUnited in the tournament finals.
However, with thousands of rands worthof prizes and bragging rights at stake onlythe best teams have qualified for the finalsin August.
Teams from across Cape Town have sur-vived the cut and both the northern andsouthern suburbs will be strongly repre-sented.
Parow based NFD team Vasco da Gama,Kraaifontein City, Kuils River FC, IslandsRovers, Bishop Lavis FC and Atlantic Na-cional make up the northern contingent,while Claremont’s ASD Academy, CapeUnited, Grassy Park’s Crusaders, GreenPoint Selesians, Hanover Park FC, Mitch-ell’s Plain’s Kenpark United and Pinelandsclub Old Mutual Academy represent thesouth.
Should one of the qualifiers not be ableto participate, Two Oceans Academy, Unit-ed FC or Eastern Rovers will take theirplace.
One of the most surprising omissionsfrom the list of finalist is Mitchell’s Plain’sWoodlands United, who finished in seventhplace at the finals last year.
Woodlands finished in third place ingroup four after a solitary victory, with
Bishop Lavis in first on nine points and OldMutual in second on six points.
Lavis were one of only five teams to finishthe second phase with a perfect record,along with Crusaders, Hanover Park, ASDAcademy, Atlantic Nacional.
Hanover Park topped the scoring chartsin the play-off rounds with eleven goals intheir three games, while Crusaders were aclose second with 10.
ASD hit the back of the net seven times,but were the only team not to concede a sin-gle goal.
While most will be backing Ajax and San-tos to take the title again, Hanover Park,Crusaders and ASD could push last year’sfinalists for the crown.

Paddling stalwart aims for pole positionLIAM MOSES
Peninsula Canoe Club stalwart GraemeSolomon has emerged as a title contenderfor the Berg River Canoe Marathon afterthe withdrawal of the reigning champion,Hank McGregor.
Solomon, a Marina da Gama resident,won the prestigious four-day race in 2001,but failed in his next nine attempts whileMcGregor rose to prominence.
Now a return to form, partnered with Mc-Gregor’s absence, has seen the 40-year-oldmove into title contention once again.
Solomon isn’t reading too much into hisrecent victories despite winning the lasttwo races on the Berg River.
“Obviously it’s nice to win races, espe-cially when you get to my age. You take eve-ry race you can win; it’s not like I shouldbe winning all these races,” says Solomon.
“But I don’t read too much into it, becausethey are one-day races. The Berg River isa four day race. The races I have won havebeen on a very full river, which is my pref-erence as I am a bigger paddler than mostof the opposition.
“The Berg River could be medium to lowif it doesn’t rain from now until then. How-ever, it is nice to have a few wins under thebelt for confidence.”
Solomon claimed the Gouda to Bridget-own race on the Berg River on Saturday 1June and won the Swartland Canoe Mara-thon on Sunday 16 June to add the SouthAfrican K1 Championship title to the K2 ti-tle he won with Sean Rice on the Breede Riv-er in September.
McGregor, nine-time Berg River champi-on, pulled out of the race to participate inthe inaugural Surfski World Champion-ships in Portugal from Friday 12 to Sunday14 July.
While Solomon knows McGregor’s ab-sence “opens up the race”, he would preferto have the champion taking part.
“You don’t want to be the guy who winsand then people say: ‘Hank McGregorwasn’t there’. At the end of the day, that’sin no one’s control you can only race thecompetition. It would still be very nice towin,” he says.
Solomon knows he will not be the onlyone who could benefit from McGregor’s ab-sence and views Lance King, Pierre-AndreRabbie, Dusi runner-up Eric Zondi andformer World Marathon champion BenBrown from Great Britain as his biggest
competitors.He has been concentrating on his “own
build up” as he prepares for what may behis last chance to win the Berg Marathon.
“Three years ago I thought it was the endof my career when I went through a difficultpatch.
“All of sudden I’ve had spurt. I am theholder of South African K1 and K2 Champi-onships at 40, which is the pinnacle of mycareer. So if I win the Berg it would be anice feather in the cap.”
The Berg River Canoe Marathon will takeplace from Wednesday 10 to Saturday 13 Ju-ly.

Three out ofthree for CalliesLIAM MOSES
Caledonian Roses racked up a thirdconsecutivewin to boost their Divi-sion Two title credentials on Satur-
day.The Newfields side have set their
sights on winning the league this yearand they confirmed their place amongthe front runners with a 24-17 victoryover Cape Town’s Tech-Gardens.
Callies now hold third place on the ta-ble, with All Saints in second andMasiphumelele RFC in first.
Coach Noor Masoet praised his teamfor putting together the run of victoriesafter going through a rough patch at thebeginning of June.
“I feel proud because of the way theboys have fought. They played the last10 or 15minuteswith 13men; that showscharacter,” Masoet says.
“Nowwe are on the right path, gettingourselves back together after a bad runthe last few weeks. The guys pickedthemselves up and I must congratulatethem on their performance.”
Callies started themonth with two de-feats at home, losing 6-9 toKylemore and17-18 in their next game against BlueStars.
Masoet’s side rediscovered their win-ning touch the following week, beatingrivals Watsonia 33-15 before edging outYoungWesleys 31-24. According to theircoach Callies underwent an attitude ad-justment to return to winning ways.
“Something crept into them and theyjust lost composure and commitment,
but they stood up (against Tech-Gar-dens) and showed the right attitude andcame back strongly.”
Roses were fortunate to add the thirdvictory to their record as Tech-Gardensmatched them in every aspect of thegame, except goal-kicking.
Although both sides scored three trieseach, Roses’ fullbackNur Salie also add-ed three conversions and a penalty tothe points tally.
Tech-Garden’s goal-kickers missestwo conversions and three penalty at-tempts. Despite the fortunate nature ofthe win, Masoet and his troops are look-ing to build on the performance, withthe hopes of finishing in first place.
“I only want first (place); there isn’ta second forme. First place is the priori-ty for the club.Wewant tomake the clubwhat it once was – the best club.”
