Cape Town ‘drugcapital of SA’HANRIE BOSCH

THE drug problem in theWestern Cape is on the brink

of becoming a national crisis, ac-cording to Yusuf Abramjee, headof the anonymous tip-off centre,Crime Line.

Abramjee says the Western Capehas become known as the “drugcapital of South Africa” and the sit-uation has been reaching “alarm-ing proportions”.

Abramjee was speaking at CrimeLine’s fourth birthday celebrationat Mandela Rhodes Place in CapeTown on Thursday 21 July.

Crime Line came about fouryears ago as an independent CapeTalk and Primedia initiative, and isendorsed by the South African Po-lice Service.

Crime Line aims to empowercommunities and individuals tocombat crime by providing themwith an anonymous way of SMSingtheir detailed crime tip-offs aboutcrimes and suspicious activities intheir neigbourhoods.

Provincial police commissioner,Lieutenant General Arno Lamoer,said that since October last yearR7,9 billion’s worth of drugs havebeen confiscated in the WesternCape alone, thanks to anonymoustip-offs from community members.

“It is scary, as this is just the tipof the iceberg, and this is the firsttime that these figures are beingmade public.”

According to Tertius Cronje,

from the South African NationalCouncil on Alcoholism and DrugDependence (SANCA), the WesternCape has seen a sharp increase indrug abuse amongst teenagers be-tween the ages of 14 to 17, as the fig-ures have gone up from 19% in 2005to 24% in 2011.

‘There is also an alarming reduc-tion in the age of first-time users. Itused to be 14 years, but now it hasdropped to nine years.”

“On a national level, the WesternCape compares very unfavourably,as we have a 31% admission rate torehabilitation facilities for tik,whilst the national average is just6%.”

Hanif Loonat, from the Commu-nity Policing Board, said that “70%of crime committed in the WesternCape comes from substance abuse”.

Abramjee also added that most ofthe tip-offs received via Crime Linewere drug-related.

“We have even had situationswhere parents have sent in tip-offsabout their own children using orselling drugs.”

Abramjee appealed to the com-munity to attack the “rampant drugproblem with vigour”.

“In our communities we all knowwho murders, steals, rapes and sellsdrugs, and it is up to us to stopthem.”

Lamoer also added that policewere making progress, but muchmore work was needed.

“We have to strengthen the part-nership between our communitiesand the police. We are busy losing

our freedom in this country. We arelosing it to a minority group …criminals.”

Loonat also said that there wasnot enough participation from thecommunity on the levels availableto them, such as Crime Line, com-munity policing forums and neigh-bourhood watches.

As part of Crime Line and theSouth African Police Service’s fightagainst drugs, more than 800kg ofdagga and hundreds of litres of con-fiscated alcohol to the value ofR125 000 were destroyed on Thurs-day 21 July outside Delft.

In the past four years since CrimeLine’s inception, more than 1 100arrests have been made and morethan R40 million’s worth of sei-zures have taken place.

Abramjee also agreed that de-spite Crime Line’s numerous suc-cesses, they still had a long way togo.

“There are three key aspects thatwe need to look at: We need to en-courage communities to blow thewhistle, we need to strengthen ourpartnerships between communitiesand police, and we need to put ourmoney where our mouth is.”

On the streets of Cape Town, how-ever, it seems as though Crime Linehas a long way to go, as most resi-dents are oblivious to existence.

According to one resident,Chwayita Metele, more people needto be made aware of Crime Line.

“They need more marketing andradio and TV ads in order for peopletoknowabout it. It doeshelppeople,

but most people just shut up aboutcrime and do not even talk aboutit.”

When another Cape Town resi-dent, Mogamat Sabodien, wasasked about Crime Line he lookedconfused, and said: “I don’t know.What is it? ”

Another resident, Viresh Nand-kumar, also had no idea aboutCrime Line.

Similarly security guard, WesleyFisher, also did not know about

Crime Line, but added that it sound-ed like a good thing.

Michael Hayes works for a cash-in-transit company and feels thatthis sort of anonymous crime tip-offline is good thing, especially for hisindustry, which is often targeted bycriminals.

“It is a good thing for us, andmakes it safer if people send in tip-offs.”

Ten thousand sandwiches for MadibaWHAT do you get when you put together achairperson, a celebrity chef and profession-al sandwich makers for 67 minutes? Morethan 10 000 sandwiches for a good cause, ofcourse. Media24 personnel put on theiraprons and plastic gloves and took out thebutter knives on Mandela Day, 18 July withonly one goal in mind: making sandwichesfor 24 community projects around the coun-try to help ease the hunger of thousands ofpeople. “We were looking for a simple, butimpressive project that could really make adifference in people’s lives, and adaptedFoodBank’s concept of a ‘jamming session’as a team building and outreach project forstaff. “So our Jamming for Madiba projectwas born, and the buy-in and support wehave received was fantastic,” said Adrie Jur-gensen, Media24 group CSI coordinator.

Prof Jakes Gerwel, Media24 chairpersonand chairperson of the Nelson MandelaFoundation and Mandela Rhodes Founda-tion, and celebrity chef, David Grier, set theexample by giving 67 minutes of their timeto spread butter at the Naspers Centre inCape Town.

They quickly had the help of 12 teams of

Media24 internal staff, including Die Burger,Beeld, Sarie, Fair Lady, Kuier, On the Dot,TV Plus, Move, building management, corpo-rate finance, people management andMedia24 IT, who gave up their lunchtime to“jam” at their offices countrywide.

The goal was to make 6 700 sandwicheswithin 67 minutes to benefit 24 charities. Inthe end over 10 000 were made.

The Cape Town Multi Service Centre inSalt River was identified as the main recipi-ents of the sandwiches made in Cape Town.

Secondary beneficiaries included theKleine Groepe play school in Elsies River,Clark Estate Primary, the elderly n ElsiesRiver, Kabouter Drome play school in Bonte-heuwel, Klipfontein Primary in Bonteheuw-el, a senior citizen group and a shelter in SaltRiver. “Today shelters, preschools, day cen-tres, homes for the frail and aged, HIV/Aidsclinics and community centres were fed, butour biggest success will be to convince andshow each individual in South Africa howthey canmakeameaningful difference everyday with something as simple as a sand-wich,” said Jurgensen after the massiveteam effort.

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD: Getting stuck in were, from left to right, Phoebe Gerwel,chef David Grier, MaryAnn Parr (FoodBank SA), Profesor Jakes Gerwel (Media 24 chairperson)and Adri Jurgens (group coordinator of Media 24 community projects). They were just someof the Media 24 workers who volunteered their time to make sandwiches on Mandela Dayoutside the Naspers Centre in Cape Town. Photo: Peter Abrahams

Local is proudly lekkerAS PART of the 93 000 Jobs for MandelaDay Campaign, Proudly South African(Proudly SA) will host South Africa’s firstBuyLocal IndabaandExpo, focusingon lo-cal procurement at the Sandton Conven-tion Centre on Thursday 29 and Friday 30September.

The theme of the Indaba is “Be ProudlySouth African - Buy Local to Create Jobs”which is the key message of Proudly South Af-rica’s marketing and communication cam-paign. The Expo will showcase Proudly SouthAfrican member companies’ service offeringsand manufactured products available from allsectors of business in South Africa, and aimsto create a network that can link all state or-gans and corporate business to local suppli-ers.

According to Dalene du Preez, executivemanager of marketing and communicationsat Proudly South African, for the consumer,attending the Indaba will make them awareof local brands that they can support in themarketplace and what opportunities “are outthere” for local entrepreneurs.

It’s also a great way for the youth and em-ployees to engage new company networks ina relaxed and non-pressurised environment.

The two-day Buy Local Indaba includespresentations and talks on local procurement,localmanufacturingand job creationopportu-nities, with a special focus on the priority sec-tors as identified by government. These pres-entations will take place from 09:00 to 16:00and are open to corporates in a conferenceseating setting. Attendance at the Buy Local

Indaba presentations is free, but pre-registra-tion is required. The centrepiece of the two-day event will be the hosting of the prestigiousProudly SA Homegrown Awards, which aresponsored by PetroSA, South Africa’s nation-al oil company.

The awards will see Proudly SA membercompanies recognised and rewarded for theircommitment to job-creation, environmentalresponsibility, fair labour practices and theproduction of high-quality goods or services.

Kaizer Nyatsumba, PetroSA’s head of cor-porate affairs and communications, says thestate-owned firm’s sponsorship of the Homeg-rown Awards is necessitated by a need to de-velop local companies that can compete withthe best in the world.

“At PetroSA we view the development of lo-cal suppliers as critical to our own success.We often are compelled to utilise the servicesof foreign firms due to the non-availability ofsuitably-qualified South African companies.Supporting the Homegrown Awards ensureswe assist in developing and recognising localexpertise,” he says.

The Proudly SA Homegrown Awards willtake place on 29 September at the SandtonConvention Centre.

And for the first time the HomegrownAwards are going to be a public interactiveprocess.

Consumers can vote for their favouriteProudly South African company through thefollowing websites: www.proudlysa.co.za;www.facebook.com/proudlysa andwww.twitter.com/proudlysa. There are alsoweekly prize give-aways up for grabs.

TEAM WORK: On Monday 18 July Trevor Manuel, the minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, and the deputy minister for International Relations, Marius Fransman,joined pupils, teachers and parents of Mitchell’s Plain as part of the 67 Minutes for Mandela campaign. The Mitchell’s Plain Education Forum (MPEF) helped paint and extendthe vegetable garden at Beacon Hill High School in Beacon Valley. Achmat Semaar, administrator of the MPEF, says for 67 years Madiba dedicated his life to humanity, “and hehas taught us that each one of us can make a difference to the world, no matter howbig or small the contribution. We have made a difference to the lives of pupils by helpingimprove the conditions at the school, and we can all contribute, helping to make a difference at the various schools across Mitchell’s Plain, the Western Cape and South Africa.”

Paddling forTata MadibaIN the spirit of goodwill and in honourof Nelson Mandela’s legacy, threeyoung adventurers set off early on Sun-day morning 17 July to paddle to Rob-ben Island.

The decision was taken to raise funds forthe Bobs for Good Foundation through thisendeavour as part of Madiba’s call on theworld to devote a moment of their time tohelping others.

Regardt Botes, Flip du Plessis and Chris-to Smeda, who all hail from Cape Town, de-cided to take on this challenge on theirstand-up paddle (SUP) boards.

SUP is a relatively new sport in South Af-rica, and is basically a cross between longboard surfing and kayaking, which in-volves the paddler balancing on top of theboard, using a single-sided paddle to propelthe user forward.

A more perfect winter’s day could nothave been chosen for the expedition, andthe Mother City delivered in style. A silky-smooth ocean greeted the trio as theybroke through the early-morning waves,

with no wind and the flat-topped bulk of Ta-ble Mountain taking shape as the nightmelted away.

Starting from the Blouberg Life-SavingClub and supported by two friends on kay-aks, they systematically made their wayacross thebay,meetinga fewseals andpen-guins along the way.

After one-and-a-half hours they reachedthe island, beaching in the shadow of theprison where Madiba spent almost a thirdof his life. It was a proud moment for thetrio when they arrived back at Blouberg,after paddling a total of 15km across TableBay. The Bobs for Good Foundation is aSouth African organisation that aims togive hope, pride and dignity to school chil-dren through the gift of locally-made leath-er school shoes.

The adventurers will set off on anotherunique expedition in October, paddlingaround the island of Zanzibar to raisefunds for the Bobs for Good Foundation.

Visit www.whatSUPzanzi.com to donatefunds and follow their progress on this epicadventure.

Vehicle fires are a realityON AVERAGE, South Africans spend 7 220hours commuting, a total of 300 days, in alifetime. With such an everyday task, driv-ers often lose consideration for potentialrisks and malfunction such as vehicle fires.

Vehicles contain materials capable of fuel-ling fires, such as rubber, leather and othercombustibles such as petrol and oil.

Within a vehicle’s electrical system andbattery, hydrogen gas develops from theelectrolysis reaction, which can ignite, caus-ing a fire. When confronted with a vehiclefire, ER24 advises drivers to:

. Calmly indicate a lane change and bringthe vehicle to a stop at the side of the road.

. Switch off the vehicle completely and re-move the keys from the ignition.

. Calmly exit the vehicle, paying atten-tion to oncoming traffic and assist any pas-sengers in doing the same.

. Movea safedistanceaway fromthevehi-cle, keeping any onlookers away from the ve-hicle.

. Notify the emergency services and warnany oncoming traffic; and

. Never attempt to put out the fire them-selves unless they have a fire extinguisherand know how to use it properly.

“Follow these instructions in the event ofa vehicle fire and keep in mind that openingthe bonnet of a vehicle which may be on fire,can be very hazardous, as the sudden rushof air onto the flames can cause the fire tointensify rapidly.”

Giving the gift of sightHANRIE BOSCH

IN the past year, morethan 40 children have re-ceived the best gift theycould have hoped for –the gift of sight and thechance to excel academi-cally.

Illiteracy is still a bigproblem in South Africa,with numerous childrenandadults not beingable toread or write.

According to the Depart-ment of Basic Education,in 2009 7% of people overthe age of 20 were com-pletely illiterate, and an-other 12% were functional-ly illiterate to varying de-grees.

This meant that during2009, 5,5 million adultsover the age of 20 were illit-erate in South Africa.

More often than not, theproblem of illiteracy hasmore to do with eye prob-lems than a lack of qualityeducation. And throughthe help of the non-profitorganisation, the ShineProject, and Mullers Op-tometrists, over 300 chil-dren have received freeeye tests in the past year,and over 40 children havereceived spectacles.

Peter Muller, from Mull-ers Optometrist, said thatthis initiative was part oftheir plan to give back tothe community that has supportedthem for over 121 years.

And yesterday saw the beginning

of another round of eye tests at sev-eral schools across the Cape. Eyetests will be conducted over a one-

week period, and thescreenings will be conduct-ed at Prestwich Street Pri-mary, Zonnebloem BoysSchool, Zonnebloem GirlsSchool, Observatory Jun-ior, St Agnes and Clare-mont Primary, where anexpected 468 children, whowould otherwise not haveaccess to eye care, willhave their eyes tested.They will receive specta-cles and the needed medi-cal attention if necessary.

Last year during eyetests at Prestwich PrimarySchool in De Waterkant, aGrade 5 pupil, CynthiaNdaba, was identified asneeding correctional eyesurgery for a squint, some-thing her parents wouldnever have been able toprovide.

But through the help ofMullers and the Shine Ppo-gramme, Ndaba under-went corrective eye sur-gery in February and isnow able to live her life tothe fullest. According tothe Shine team, “she hasgrown in both courage andconfidence. The operationhas transformed her bothphysically and emotional-ly.”

As part of the initiativeand to raise funds for theirongoing projects, Mullershas partnered with DavidGreen eyewear, wherebyfor every pair of David

Green eyewear purchased, anotherpair of frames will be donated to theShine Project.

Fraudster gets five yearsHANRIE BOSCH

AN EMPLOYEE of the Department of Ed-ucation, Bridget Claasen, has been foundguilty of fraud involving more thanR1 million.

On Wednesday 20 July, 31-year-old Claasenwas sentenced to five years behind bars afterpleading guilty in the Bellville CommercialCrimes Court for embezzling R1 081 868.

Claasen was employed as an assistant di-rector in the Western Cape Department ofEducation, and was in charge of buyingbooks and charts for schools.

Claasen had access to the department’s ba-sic accounting system, and used colleagues’user IDs to capture herself as a beneficiary.

She then proceeded to manufacture fakebook requests and channel the money intoher personal account.

. People’s Post previously reported on anemployee, Nomsa Ncube of the Friendly 7/11Convenience store in Camps Bay, who hadallegedly been handing over informationabout customers’ bank cards to fraudsters(“Employee charged with fraud”, 3 March).

Store owner Anita Reichlin informed po-lice that clients were complaining about un-authorised transactions on their accounts af-ter they had used the shop.

Ncube admitted to police that she had writ-ten down the details of clients’ cards and giv-en them to her co-accused.

Ncube and her two co-accused, OsagieOmomagiowawi and Naomi Nhira, appearedin the Bellville Commercial Crimes Court on11 July and pleaded not guilty on charges ofconspiracy to commit fraud, in terms of theSection 86 of the Electronic Communicationsand Transactions Act.

On 19 July, Ncube and Nhira were eachfound guilty, and on 20 July they were eachsentenced to three years behind bars.

Omomagiowawi, a foreign national, wasfound guilty on charges of contravention ofthe Immigration Act, and was sentenced to

pay a fine of R10 000, or three months’ impris-onment.

. Furthermore, on Wednesday 20 July,Ghost Squad officers responded to a com-plaint of illegal drag racing activities on theN1 and Sable Road. At the scene, they foundnearly 100 vehicles.

When the motorists saw the officers, theysped off on the N1 going towards VanguardDrive and to Monte Vista Boulevard in thedirection of N1 City. Officers cornered someof the vehicles on Monte Vista Boulevard.

Whilst officers were charging drivers forvarious offences, a driver of a Honda spedaway, through a red traffic light, almost col-liding with two of the officers’ vehicles. Thevehicle hit a driver who was being charged,injuring him, before speeding off again.

Officers gave chase and apprehended thedriver, charging her with reckless and negli-gent driving, leaving the scene of an accidentand driving under the influence of alcohol.

Another “dicer”, who formed part of thesame group, was arrested for possession ofillegal narcotics, when he was found withdagga and a tik pipe.

. At 22:20 on Saturday 23 July, traffic offic-ers arrested a professional nurse on chargesof driving under the influence of alcohol, af-ter he nearly collided with a traffic officer’spatrol car in Loop Street, Cape Town.

. According to Warrant Officer Khunju-lwa Sam, spokesperson for Cape Town Cen-tral Police Station, 11 occupants of a singlecar were arrested on Friday 22 July.

The neighbourhood watch reported a sus-picious vehicle parked in Hedene Road.When the car was pulled over, officers found11 suspects, between the ages of 17 and 24,crammed into the vehicle. Also in the car wasa cellphone that had been reported stolen,along with an illegal firearm with two maga-zines and 17 rounds, were found. All the sus-pects were arrested and appeared in the CapeTown Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Mon-day) on charges of possession of stolen prop-erty and an illegal firearm.

Wine, women and woesHANRIE BOSCH

CAPE TOWN women are delighted andexcited about the ‘100 Women, 100

Wines’ event happening from 27 to 28 Au-gust at the V&A Waterfront, and feel thatan event that pairs wines with moods andnot complicated terminologies and analy-ses will breathe fresh air into the some-times “snobbish” world of wine tasting.

Organiser of the 100 Women, 100 Winesevent, Clare Mack, says that an event like thisis very necessary for the South African winescene because women play an important rolein the wine industry.

“Eighty percent of all wines purchased inSA are bought by women, so why shouldn’twomen get to judge their favourite wines andrecommend these to their friends? “For aweekend, the 100 women will forget aboutconnoisseurs and terminologies and willhave fun drinking wine that suits their pal-ates and recommend which wines best matchspecific occasions.”

The women will sip, swirl, taste and votefor their favourite wines in innovative “reallife” categories, like “Girls Night Out”, “Cele-bration”, “Sunday Lunch” and “Kiss andMake Up”, to illustrate that wine should beappreciated according to mood and occasion,

and not only by its “bouquet” and “vintage”.The aim of the event is to encourage women

to look past the complicated terminology andto ignore the experts, but ratheruse their owninstincts and follow their own tastes

Mariëtte du Toit-Helmbold, CEO of CapeTown Tourism, says this event will also dowonders to promote Cape Town as a superbdomestic destination.

“The innovation of food and wine is an inte-gral part of what makes Cape Town an inspi-rational city. We are looking forward to wel-coming 100 women from across South Africato Cape Town, sharing our best wines andgourmet offerings with them.

“Winter is the perfect time to explore ourwine culture, and our partnership with 100Women, 100 Wines demonstrates our commit-ment to unlocking Cape Town’s superb win-ter offering to the domestic market. We lookforward to celebrating this as an annualevent.”

People’s Post took to the streets to findsome wine aficionados, and talk about wine,womenandwoes, andhow the three just seemto be made for each other.

Shona Alexander feels that a light-heartedevent that does not take it self too seriouslyis “a great idea, and will make wine tastingmore fun”.

“I like a good white wine, and any wine thatyou can socialise with your friends with is agood wine.”

She also says that wine is a good way to un-wind and relax, and that it definitely hassome therapeutic properties: “I like wine be-cause it gets me through each evening.”

Another wine enthusiast, Magriet Schoe-man, feels that each mood deserves a differ-ent wine, and that an interactive real life-based wine tasting is just what the women ofthe Cape need.

“A good wine is not just about the flavourand taste; it is about the company, the weath-er, the place, and most importantly knowingwhat you are going to do afterwards.”

And what exactly is the importance of winein her life?

“The most important thing about wine isthe conversation that is linked with sharinga bottle of wine.”

Su Govender says that she is “quite illiter-ate” about wine, but that it has never stoppedher from knowing a good wine.

“When I like a wine, I drink it over andover. But it would also be nice to learn a bitmore about wine. I am a sweet lady who likesa sweet wine. And wine makes a great timebetter.”

She also adds that the fountain of youthmight just be found in a glass of wine:

“Wine keeps you young, it is my secret and

it works!”Liz Siegenthaler is not the biggest wine fan,

but says that when she drinks wine she pre-fers consistency and quality above all else.

“Good wine makes everybody more social,and it goes nicely with a good meal.”

She also feels that an event that looks pastcomplicated terminologies will add more va-riety to the world of wine, and give a differentperspective on how wine should, and can beenjoyed.

Simoney van Wyk loves the idea of a winefestival that focuses onwines that suitmoods.

“There are different reasons to drink wine,when your boyfriend breaks up with you orwhen you go on a date. A good wine is onlya good wine when the company is good. It justmakes the wine better and better.”

Christene Marsh prefers sweet and spar-kling wines, and says that a good bottle ofwine can be shared in good time or bad times,and that it “brings people together”.

Wine can soothe a damaged soul, and winecan make good company and a good mealeven better. Wine can get you through badtimes and it can make the good times evensweeter and bubblier. But at the end of it allit seems that the only cardinal sin there iswhen it comes to drinking wine, is doing italone.

So round up a couple of friends and enjoyyour own 100 Women, 100 Wines festival incelebration of women’s month this August.

Liz Siegenthaler enjoys a red wine with consistency and quality.

Su Govender says that the fountain of youthis just a sip of wine away.

Simoney van Wyk feels that good companymakes for good wine.

Sterilisation driveSTATISTICS indicatethat if the total numberof unwanted animals inSouth Africa were divid-ed among the totalnumber of suitablehouseholds, each house-hold would have to adoptmore than 15 dogs and 15cats.

The National Sterilisa-tion Project (NSP) is abrand new initiative spe-cifically aimed at reducingthe growing number of un-wanted and neglected petsliving in South Africathrough an ongoing na-tionwide mass sterilisa-tion programme.

An average female dogwill produce at least threelitters within a two-yearperiod, which by the end ofeight years could give riseto 10 368 unwanted pup-pies.

The situation is worsefor cats. From just threeunsterilised females, morethan 16 785 unwanted kit-tens can be born over athree-year period.

To combat this growingepidemic and toput a stop to thepainandsuffering of thousands of neglected ani-mals living in South Africa, NSP hascommitted to sterilising as many catsand dogs as possible.

“We believe that this is the primary so-lution and with your help, we can makea difference,” the organisation says.

Added to this is the cost of sterilisa-tion, which many people cannot easilyafford.

“The NSP plays an important role inthis regard, because we will financiallysubsidise the cost of each animal steri-lised through our programme.

“We bring together animal welfare or-ganisations, corporate sponsors, andmembers of the public united in a drivethat will ultimately protect domestic an-imals.

For more information visit the NSPwebsite www.nsp.org.za.

First zebra foal in nine yearsA CAPE MOUNTAIN ZEBRA foal wasborn on Tuesday 19 July in the Cape ofGood Hope section of the Table Moun-tain National Park. A foal was last bornover nine years ago and as a result, staffare monitoring the newcomer very care-fully. The park is therefore appealing tothe public and hikers not to try and ap-proach the mother and her foal on foot,but to keep a safe and respectful dis-tance.

The family group is very protective ofthe newcomer, and will act aggressively

towards anyone trying to approachthem. The mother and foal are close tothe Cape Point Main Road, and visitorsand touroperatorshavebeenasked to re-spect the speed limit of 60km/h and slowdown if the family group of zebras areseen.

The sex of the newcomer has not yetbeen determined. However, staff aremonitoring the family closely, and willallow the group of zebras to settle downfirst before photographing them and re-cording key information.

Ramadaan recipe: Coconut pancakes

Ramadaan greetings fromthe Muslim Judicial Council

Celebrating social conscience

THE Month of Mercy.

O you who believe! Observ-ing the fasting is prescribed for youas it was prescribed for those beforeyou, that you may become of the pi-ous. (Qur’an al-Baqarah 2:183)

The Muslim Judicial Councilwould like to take this opportunityto wish each and every Muslim ahappy and joyous Ramadaan. It isduring these challenging times thatthe arrival of this Blessed month,like an oasis in the desert, bringswith it great hope, comfort and thenecessary inner reflection sorelyneeded to empower the soul until ithas reached a state of authority overthe body.

This blessed month lays upon eachobserver the responsibility to reflectupon the challenges faced by thosebattling to survive during these diffi-cult economic times.

During these post-apartheidyears, the deep scars of socio-eco-nomic inequality are evident, andwe wish to remind all those observ-ing the fast to remember their dutytowards those in need of food, shel-ter, safety and education.

Our creator has gifted us with thisblessed month once a year duringwhich our consciousness and re-sponsibility towards our brethrenshould be revitalised towards broth-erly love and ubuntu for the nextyear. Therefore it is during this holymonth that the fasting person expe-riences the sacrifice made by the lessfortunate, and serves as a reminderto all humanity of the favours and

bounties which the Almighty blessesus with.

We therefore wish to give glad tid-ings to all those who increase effortstowards benefiting the helpless, theneedy and those who are affected bythe high levels of crime, poverty andunemployment.

Whilst caring for our brothers inhumanity, Ramadaan is also amonth wherein we revive ourselvesspiritually and a month duringwhich we see the beauty of a faiththat constantly encouragesmankindto take cognisance of his relation-ship with his creator through deedsthat benefit mankind and thusstrives towards perfecting his innerand outer state.

Allah (God) Almighty attachesgreat reward to the act of fasting,which is described as an act donepurely for the love of God.

In a sacred Hadith, the Prophet(peace be upon him) quotes God assaying: “All actions a human beingdoes are done for his own sake, ex-cept fasting which is done for Mysake. I will reward it accordingly.”

We pray that the Almighty Allah(God) strengthens us and keeps ourfaith strong towards his remem-brance and increases our ability tohelp those in need.

We wish our community well forthe month of Ramadaan, and wepray that our sincere efforts towardspleasing our Most Merciful Creator,Allah (peace be upon him) duringthis great month will be acceptedand that we may in unity of purposebe of benefit to mankind.

THE only known method of personal devel-opment is to raise one’s level of conscious-ness.

When whole communities raise their levelof consciousness a social conscience devel-ops.

And it is this which sustains social actions.TheMustadafinFoundation,whichwas es-

tablished during the apartheid era in 1986,can proudly call upon all its benefactors andbeneficiaries to celebrate its 25th anniversa-ry.

What should not be forgotten is that in onlyeight years of the 25 years, the MustadafinFoundation were under the new regimewhich is called the post – apartheid Regime.

Racism, oppression, exploitation, hunger,starvation, malnutrition, homelessness, il-literacy, innumeracy, alcohol and drug ad-diction, corruption, HIV/Aids and a host ofother social diseases was what the Mus-tadafin Foundation was fighting for againstsince the launch of the post-apartheid re-gime.

Some are of the opinion that the anti-apart-heid struggle was sustained by non-govern-mental organisations.

That is not entirely correct. The anti-apart-

heid struggle was sustained by anti-govern-ment organisations.

There were organisations that were tech-nically called NGOs but did nothing but im-plement, protect andadvance the racist agen-da of the apartheid regime. Some still do.

The Mustadafin Foundation can proudlycall uponall its benefactors andbeneficiariesto commemorate the social sacrifices of thepast decades.

They are highly conscious of the fact thatno human being is born into a social, histori-cal, political or economic vacuum.

A judge of the High Court said that theydidn’t expect that there would be a need fororganisations like the Mustadafin Founda-tion under the post-apartheid regime, butnow they realise they were mistaken.

But, of course there is an enormous differ-ence between poverty management (and mis-management), poverty alleviation and pov-erty eradication.

As long as there is one human being whois poor, needy and destitute, there will be aneed for organisations like the MustadafinFoundation.

Mustadafin Foundation wishes all Mus-lims Ramadaan Kareem.

People’s Post Atlantic SeaboardCity Edition LEADER Tuesday 26 July 2011

Troubled futureALARMING statistics published last weekseem to indicate that Western Cape teens areno strangers to alcohol.

A study tabled before the City of CapeTown’s Mayoral Committee revealed that theWestern Cape had the highest number ofbinge drinkers still in high school.

The startling findings cast serious doubt onthe chances of a quality future for these chil-dren if those responsible for guiding them donot play their part.

The national averages for this group ofyouths stands at 23% – the Western Capecame in at 34%.

In addition the province has the highest na-tional rate of risky drinkers – the kind ofdrinking that puts someone’s life at risk.

As figures of substance abuse among theyoung and impressionable skyrocket, thequestion begging to be answered is exactlyhow do we solve this dilemma?

Ironically, the release of these results wasmarked by the sudden death of British musi-cal idol Amy Winehouse (27), presumably dueto a drug overdose.

Rebellious celebrities are often glamour-ised for living dangerous lifestyles and setyoung fans off on an ignorant and risky pathto self-destruction.

The reality is that children are growing upwithout the innocence they once had.

Participation in sports and games has beenexchanged for violent TV games, drinkingand other more adult-like pastimes.

And as parents succumb to the stressful de-mandsof their jobs, youthoften lackguidanceand supervision.

It is the responsibility of parents, familymembers, relatives and teachers to act as thevoice of reason in an ever-changing world.

While there is no guarantee that our chil-dren will follow the right path and make theright decisions, we must hope that constantguidance will result in the seed being planted.If we’re lucky it will take root and grow to bepassed on to the next generation that may justneed it.

YourSMSesIn response

. They are just gettinggreedy. They take foreign stu-dents to stay in their homeswith them and they are notshy to pay. Bo-Kaap just wantto make a 110% profit, that’swhy they don’t rent theirhomes to Capetonians. Theywant foreigners because theypay the big bucks. They’regreedy.

. I’m in the meter taxi in-dustry since the year 2000,and just before the World Cupstarted the new MyCiTi busesstart to operate. It’s makingme and my family suffer.

. It is fantastic that theCity Police re clamping downon unroadworthy, unli-censed, reckless taxis whichhave and are still causingchaos. Dangerous drivingwill not be tolerated. We haveall been victimised by thesedrivers driving us off theroads. Keep it up.

Animal matters. Could the SPCA or the lo-

cal council please explainwhy nothing has been done tothe people selling live chick-ens in the most inhumaneway for years at the corner ofDuinefonteinandLansdowneroads? Abdullah

. People that sell chickenslimp and half dead from heatand a lack of water, then packthem into tiny boxes: it is hor-rible to witness. They shouldbe prosecuted. Daniel, Re-

treat. About the live chickens

that are being sold, can oneask the SPCA or TEARS fortheir help? Colleen

By the way. How pathetic can the

cops be? If you phone them torespond to a crime they takeforever. But the wife of a mer-chant phones them for peoplethat stand peacefully at a fireand they respond within sec-onds. Gatvol

. Why is it so difficult tofind a school that would ac-commodate pupils for Grade9 mid-year? They can only as-sist the last term, so the chil-dren get school fees, schoolclothes and stationery atChristmas.

. How are we supposed towork when most shops wantexperienced workers? Someof the matriculants don’thave this and others don’thave money to go and study.How on earth are we going toget experience when shopowners want experience thatwe don’t have?

. A big and hearty thankyou to the midwives whohome-delivered my beautifulgrandson, Judah. A job welldone! Congratulations Tarynand Dan. Nanna Wendy

. Reading about roadblocks to catch drunken driv-ers makes me laugh. My hus-band drives drunk at leastfour days of the week and is

never stopped. I only hopeone day he will be caught!

Anon. My mom paid twice for a

name change at Home Affairsand has been waiting since2006 for her ID document! Ex-cuses! Incompetent peoplework there. Feel it, it’s here.Zarina

General. When Walmart goes, we

He will be the death ofour beloved country. He singsabout history and our historyis our old SA flag. Let it fly.

. I agree that Colour TV isboring. And to think wecouldn’t wait for it to start.What a let-down! There’s somuch coloured talent outthere, so make use of it.

. Well done VG Behrens. Iloved “The joke’s on you”published on 19 July. Pleasecontinue to entertain us withyour witty retorts! Natasha

. It’s time for VG Behrensto go and play in the traffic.Every time I see her name Iimmediately recycle your pa-per. Gogga

. Payfine.co.za and ener-gy.co.za were great sites. Pay-city.co.za is slow and not userfriendly!

One law for the landICANunderstandwhy thepeople inBo-Kaapare up in arms about their hefty rates in-creases as you reported in “Rates are killingour culture” (People’s Post, 19 July), but Ican’t help feeling there’s a strong undercur-rent of xenophobia at work here too.

They complain that “their” area is nowhome to an increasing “foreign” population– by which they mean whites (from abroadand from South Africa).

Well, haven’t we all had to adjust to chang-ing demographics in our neighbourhoods?You don’t hear white South Africans moan-ing about the fact that their suburbs are now“only 70% Christian”, for example.

And as for “not respecting our culture”,the last time I checked, the Bo-Kaap was stillpart of the Republic of South Africa, not theKingdom of Saudi Arabia, which means it’s

entirely legal to sit on your very expensiveporch and have a glass of wine, if you wantto.

The Bo-Kaap is an awesome part of CapeTown that we all love, but its residents haveno right to impose their own religious edictson the rest of society, as my friends and I dis-covered just last week when we sat down ata new cafe on Rose Street and were told wecould not have a glass of wine because thelocals objected to them serving alcohol.

What next? Burkas for all women visitingthe area and no holding hands if you’re asame-sex couple, just in case you cause “of-fence?

Can we have one law for the whole coun-try, please?KYLE COCKERANNo address supplied

Taxi industry no victimIN RESPONSE to your recent report“Taxi industry victimised”, People’s Post,19 July.

Those taxis guys make perfect victimsof their own perceptions.

They need a reality check.I am not quite sure if these poor victim-

ised guys need a voice, because they arewell known for their ruthless drivers whodon’t care if they kill innocent people eve-ry week on our roads.

It will certainly be 50 times safer toride on a proper commuter bus thanto sit down in one of their speedingcoffins.

Rather subsidise public transport runby the City than pay them petty cash tobe their victim.

My message to them: NOBODY LIKESYOU!HORST LOHNERTVredehoek
