‘Spate’ of hijackingsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

City Bowl residents have been warned tobe vigilant after a number of hijackingincidents in the area in the past two

months.Nicola Jowell, chairperson of the Commu-

nityPoliceForum (CPF), says thehijackingstend to take place at night, when residentsarrive home and are approached on thestreet in front of their homes.In various incidents, the suspects have

been armed and threatened the victims atgun point, she says. “Thankfully nobody hasbeen hurt in the incidents. It is importantto note that there are extremely low num-bers of hijackings reported in the City Bowl

area – it is thankfully a crime category thatwe just do not see a lot of. So when we havea spate as we are having at the moment, thecommunity rightfully feels quite con-cerned,” she says.

Same suspects?Cape Town Central police spokesperson

Captain Ezra October says there have beenthree cases reported in two months. He saysthese incidents are not linked.TheCPF, however, suspects the casesmay

be linked, simply because this type of crimeis so rare. “To have a few incidents that aregrouped together in a confined space of timemakes one think it could be the same sus-pects. However, not all the suspect descrip-tions from the victims are the same. The ex-

act location and the type of vehicle that hasbeen stolen have also differed,” she says.October warns residents to be on the look-

out for suspicious cars and people. “Checkyour rearviewmirror to ensure that you arenot being followed. When exiting your carat home, ensure that there is an outside lightswitched on and have someone meet you atthe gate or door. Never sit in your parkedcar without being fully conscious of yoursurroundings,” he says.

Safe at homeThemajority of hijackings happen outside

a person’s home, Jowell says. “Very oftenour instincts tell us something is not rightand we should not ignore these. Have yourgarage remote or house keys handy so that

youareable tomovewith confidenceandnotlinger around outside your property, espe-cially late at night,” she says.Residents should also report any suspi-

cious activity to the police, their alarm com-pany or the neighbourhood watch. Theyshould also be prepared for any eventuality.“Rather be prepared and hope it never

happens to you or your family than be un-prepared for it. But certainly I would adviseon no sudden movements. Keep your handsvisible to your carjackers as much as possi-ble. If you have family in the vehicle withyou make sure that the hijacker knows thatand that you all exit the vehicle as quicklyand calmly as possible. Staying calm andcomplying with the instructions of the hi-jacker is generally the best course of action.”

Five hikers were injured onTable Mountain on Sunday.This after a rock fall in theBlinkwater Ravine trapped thegroup of hikers. The ravine hasbeen closed for 30 years andis considered dangerous. A sixhour long air and mountainrescue operation was launchedto bring the injured to safety.Mountain rescue teams battledbad weather to rescue three ofthe five climbers that had tobe airlifted off the mountain.They were taken to hospital byambulance after landing onthe Camps Bay Primary Schoolsports field. An investigationwill reportedly be launched bySANParks into how the hikerscame to be on the trial.PHOTO:LERATO MADUNA/FOTO24

Shop small to make big impactNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

“You can’t buy happiness, but you canbuy from a small business and that’s

almost the same.”South Africans are encouraged to show

their support for small businesses throughthe new “Shop small business” and “Smallbusiness Friday” movement, an initiativeby the National Small Business Chamber.Mike Anderson, CEO and founder of the

Chamber, says themovement calls on SouthAfricans to get behind the “job creators, na-tion builders, entrepreneurs and the hard-working men and women who make up thebackbone of the economy by owning orworking in a small business”.The movement aims to encourage and in-

spire South Africans to make a big impactby supporting small businesses all yearround,more so onFridays, and especially on“Small business Friday” which falls on thefirst Friday of September each year.“It’s a one-day high-action drive to get

even more South Africans to support, visitand spend at a small business. When youshop at small businesses, you impact theowner, the employees, their families, the

community and South Africa as a whole,”Anderson says.Small businesses contribute over 35% of

the country’s gross domestic product and,according to the Small Enterprise Develop-ment Agency, employ more than half of thepeople who work in the private sector.“The role that small businesses play in job

creation, poverty alleviation, service deliv-ery and wealth creation all mean that smallbusiness is big business,” Anderson says.“Nearly two-thirds of all South Africanworkers are employed by small businesses.They play a pivotal role in the socio-econom-ic development of our country.”One out of five units exported from South

Africa is produced in the small and mediumbusiness sector.

Shop this Friday“Friday 4 September marks ‘Small busi-

ness Friday’, but it’s about so much morethan just one day. Through ‘Shop small busi-ness’ we’re aiming to bring about perma-nent change so small businesses can thriveall year round with the backing of all SouthAfricans,” says Anderson.Making a small change to where we spend

our money can have a huge impact on small

businesses, our communities andultimatelyour economy, he says.“The advantages of supporting small busi-

nesses lie not only in making an impact onthe economy, but also the positive differenceit can make in uplifting local communities.Locally owned businesses help shape strongcommunities by keeping vital spend withinsmall towns and cities, leading to vibrant lo-cal economies that benefit all who livethere.”There are plenty of advantages for con-

sumers too – very often small businessescare deeply about the kind of customer ser-vice they deliver, knowing that quality prod-ucts and personalised service are what keeptheir businesses thriving, Anderson ex-plains.“With more support, small businesses

have the potential to breathe new life intothe South African economy. Small business-es represent countless hours of hard work,commitment, resilience and thousands ofjobs. Providing as much support to smallbusinesses as possible is an investment inour communities and South Africa’s collec-tive economic future.”V For more information visit www.smallbusinessfriday.co.za.

TheAsijiki Coalition for theDecriminalisa-tion of Sex Work in South Africa was for-mally launched in Cape Town on Thursdaylast week. The launch brought together ac-tivists, human rights defenders, lawyers,sex workers and academics.Asijiki is the Zulu word for “No turning/

looking back”. The coalition is made up ofparticipants from a cross-section of societywhowork towards safeguarding the humanrights of sex workers everywhere.The Coalition steering committee com-

prises of Sisonke Sex Worker Movement inSouth Africa, Women’s Legal Centre, the

Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Task-force (Sweat) and Sonke Gender Justice.Kholi Buthelezi from Sisonke, who facili-

tated the launch event, says: “We now havea solid platform to raise issues on how togo about strengthening our call for decrimi-nalisation collectively without fear of stig-matisation and prejudice. The Coalitionwill be able to challenge the negative stereo-typing of sex workers and also build the ca-pacity to challenge issues relating to ourhu-man, legal and health rights”.The Coalition will conduct advocacy to

highlight the impact of criminalisation on

sex worker health, human rights and limit-ed access to services and will specificallylobby for law reform in the form of the de-criminalisation of sex work.“Every day that South Africa continues

to criminalise sex work, is another day thatsex workers experience abuse, discrimina-tion and hardship. The South African LawReform Commission and the department ofjustice and correctional serviceswill be keyadvocacy targets of the Coalition and theirunconscionable delay inmoving lawreformforward,” says Marlise Richter of SonkeGender Justice.

Where there’s smoke, clubs are under fireAuthorities are calling on clubs in the cityto adhere to smoking regulations.According to a statement by the City of

Cape Town, health inspectors have strug-gled to get the public to obey public smo-king regulations.The inspectors have found three premis-

es in Harrington Street in contravention ofthe Tobacco Product Control Act. Theywere all issued with fines totalling R6000.Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral committee

member for health, says: “The tobacco leg-islation is very clear on where smoking isallowed, but some establishments blatantlydisregard the law.“These regulations are not new and by

now I would expect people to be familiarwith them. If not, surely anyone can under-

stand a no-smoking sign when they seeone?”By law, smoking is not allowed in any in-

door, enclosed or partially enclosed areasthat are open to the public.The City’s health practitioners carry out

inspections at various businesses. The hot-spots are those with a large concentrationof night clubs like the city centre andGreenPoint.“It is hard work keeping tabs on every

single establishment, which is why I appealto the public to approach their nearest envi-ronmental health office if they come acrossanything of concern so that wemay investi-gate,” concludes Mamkeli.V For any complaints or concerns about public smoking call the City on 0860 103 089.

Hard-hit neighbourhoods get an extra sweep of the broomSections of Gardens, Bo-Kaap and Oranje-zicht have been earmarked for top-upcleaning services.This service will be funded through the

ward allocation budget, says ward council-lor Dave Bryant.R50 000 has been allocated.The services have already started and

will run until July next year. If the projectis successful the ward allocation fundingmay be extended for another year.The areas all have a need for extra clean-

ing and are not serviced by an improve-ment district, he explains.“The lower sections of Bo-Kaap are fre-

quented by tourists on a daily basis, whichhas an impact on the environment and in-creases the pressure on City services.“Lower Gardens is wedged between the

upper City Bowl residential neighbour-hoods and the improvement district areas.There are a number of homeless people liv-ing on the streets in the area, which in-creases the incidents of dumping and

waste on the pavements,” he says.

Clean ravineThe Van Riebeeck Park ravine will also

receive top-up cleaning, Bryant explains.“I have been meeting with members of

the neighbourhood watch in the Oranje-zicht area about the challenges relating tothe high number of homeless people cur-rently sleeping in the Van Riebeeck Parkravine. Along with interventions from so-cial development and law enforcement, I

have also committed to increase the cleans-ing of the ravine to ensure that the area iskept as clean as possible.“The community itself is developing a

plan to rejuvenate and improve the overallcondition of the ravine which the City willsupport through ward allocation fundingwhere possible,” he says.Increasing the frequency and quality of

cleaning in specific areas will help to cre-ate an improved environment for all users,Bryant believes.

First rock moved for quarry leaseNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The process to gain approval forleasing out the Strand Street

quarry has started.A report has appeared before the

Good Hope subcouncil to recom-mend that the City council agrees,in principle, to the leasing of theproperty for not longer than 30years through a tender process.This despite objections from the

Bo-Kaap Civic Association, whichsays more detail is needed on theCity of Cape Town’s plans for theproperty.The site has cultural and heri-

tage value and is due to be pro-claimed a national heritage site.The quarry provided much of the

stone that was used to build theCape’s early structures and has anumber of Muslim shrines, the re-port states.“It is regarded as having nation-

al significance in terms of its his-torical association with industry,slaves and heavy labour as well asthe development of Islam in theCape,” the report states.The Association says the quarry

is the only available sports groundfor the community’s use in the areaand the property has been neglect-ed by the City, “making it impossi-ble to use and also attracting crimi-nal activity and social problems”.The organisation wants the City

tokeep theproperty and instead re-serve it for community use.The report states, however, that

alternative sporting facilities havebeen provided for the communityat the Green Point track, next tothe stadium.The land-use, environmental

and heritage restrictions wouldhave to be observed in any lease.The report recommends follow-

ing a two-stage competitive bid-ding process, which will first callfor proposals and urban designframeworks and then involve theevaluation of these with a call forfinancial proposals from preferredbidders.Ward councillor Dave Bryant

stressed during the appearance ofthe report before the subcouncilthat any lease should be sensitiveto the heritage and cultural valueof the site.

A process has started by which City approval is being sought for thelong-term lease of the Strand Street quarry. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Stodels Nurseries are encouragingCapetonians to join hands with them toplant a tree. They will be giving away 5000trees for Arbor Day on Friday.Since its Arbor Day project was

launched in 1983, Stodels has given awaymore than 150 000 trees to encourage plant-ing and collected hundreds of containers ofold newspapers that have been recycled.You can exchange a bag (or bags) of old

newspapers or magazines for a free indige-nous tree at any of the five Stodels bran-ches (Kenilworth, Bellville, Constantia,Milnerton and Somerset West) on Friday.Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

says: “Arbor Week is an ideal opportunityfor people to plant a tree and help offset ef-fects of global warming. Global warmingand the sustainability of our environmentis somethingwe can’t afford to ignore. Andwhen you realise that on average, one treecan absorb a ton of carbon dioxide over itslifetime, then it justmakes sense to take upthe challenge and embrace the Arbor Dayethos and plant an indigenous tree.”There are twoTrees of theYear this year:

SEA POINT HITS THE HIGH MARK: Pupils from Sea Point High School reaped therewards of the Super Tutors programme started by radio station KFM in partnership withthe Dis-Chem Foundation. The programme was created last year to help Grade 11 and 12pupils improve their marks in Mathematics, Physics and language subjects. Head of theGrade 12 pupils at Sea Point High, Sonia van Zyl, says the school is seeing the benefits ofthe programme, particularly in English, where the results reflected four As in the second-term exams. Top achievers among the Sea Point pupils were awarded recently. They areAbdul Williams, who achieved 83% in Mathematics, Antonio Kay, who achieved 80% inPhysical Science, Sakheisizwe Mbangeni, who achieved 65% in History, and Olwethu Mtati,Jaconde Nsumbu, Candice Knipe and Hassna Ait Taleb, who received distinctions in English.

Karoo Disclosure, a collaborative art in-stallation that investigates the conten-

tious issue of fracking, is on at the IzikoSouth African Museum.The exhibition explores notions of heri-

tage, culture, ownership and legitimacy inthe context of external economic and politi-cal drivers that threaten to change the land-scape and the lives of communities in un-foreseen ways, says Hamish Robertson, di-rector of natural history collections at IzikoMuseums of South Africa.“The Karoo has always been a feature of

the exhibitions in the Iziko South AfricanMuseums, the quagga foal on display per-haps being the most symbolic representa-tion of the fragility of this region. Iziko en-courages exhibitions like Karoo Disclosurethat stimulate debate about important is-sues,” he says.The exhibition comes at a pivotal time

when national government has given thegreen light for fracking prospecting to be-

gin in the Karoo with the explicit intentionto exploit its reserves. TheopeningofKarooDisclosure this pastweekend featured adis-cussion panel on the issue with experts inanthropology, climate change, art andnatu-ral science.The film Karoo disclosure, which was se-

lected for the Karoo Indy Film Festival andshown at That Art Fair, is the focal pointof the exhibition. Photographic works aswell as objects, artefacts, rocks, fossils, ani-mals and insects from the Iziko natural his-tory collections found in theKarooareawillalso be showcased.The exhibition is on display until 15 No-

vember.The collaborating artists include Debo-

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

The national department of public workshas reportedly given the City of Cape

Town an undertaking that it will start ad-dressing the longstanding complaintsabout its property in Military Road in theBo-Kaap, also referred to as Erf 81.Over the last few years, the site has been

the source of numerous complaints to theCity about criminality,anti-social behaviour andprostitution, says wardcouncillor Dave Bryant.There are also concerns

about the establishmentof an illegal informal set-tlement on the site.The farm building on

the property has been list-ed as a problembuilding by the City of CapeTown.“I have been working closely with local

organisations, including the Bo-Kaap CivicAssociation, to try and get a handle on thesituation. Metro police, law enforcementand the police do what they can, but ulti-mately the property owner needs to take re-sponsibility,” he says.Following a fire earlier in the year, com-

munity members believe more people havebeen setting up home on the site.The fire, which displaced the 18 families

livingon the site, occurredat the endof Jan-uary andwas caused by an unattended can-dle, residents maintain (“‘No’ to shacks”,People’s Post, 24 February).A petition about a derelict property on

Military Road, which allegedly houses an

informal settlement, was handed to the na-tional department of public works in July(“600 want ‘land grabbers’ in city out”, Peo-ple’s Post, 21 July).Over 600Tamboerskloof andBo-Kaap res-

idents signed the petition, which urges thedepartment to take responsibility for thesite, clean it up andproperly administer thesite, prevent “further land grab” and put a“stop to the illegal occupation of city andcommunity resources”.

The City hosted ameeting with all con-cerned parties earlierthis month.In a statement, the

City says “the depart-ment of publicworks in-dicated that it had al-ready applied for thedemolition of the farm

building” and is considering various otheruses for the site, including a request thatthe land be returned to the department ofdefence.According to the City, the department of

public works also undertook to repair thefencing, employ private security to guardthe site and preventmore settlers from con-gregating on the landand start evictionpro-ceedings.JP Smith, mayoral committee member

for safety and security, says: “This is a stepin the right direction and we will follow upwith the relevant authorities to ensure thatthe process is completed in the shortest pos-sible time. In the interim, the relevant en-forcement agencies will continue with pa-trols to try and curb crime in the area andmonitor the situation.”

Play Sport 4 Life (PS4L) recently held asoccer development programme inPin-elands.

PS4L is a non-profit company operating intheKensington, Factreton andMaitland are-as andwas established to provide opportuni-ties for children and adults to participate insport, and in so doing, help them becomehealthier, more responsible citizens in theircommunities.The purpose of the soccer development in-

itiative is to unite communities through

sport as well as get children off the streetsby occupying their time and getting them in-volved with something they enjoy. The agegroups range from u.7 to u.11, with A and Bsides. This allows all the players to get anequal amount of playing time and a chanceto show off their skills on the field, whichwas appreciated by all involved.“I think it’s a really great initiative,” said

Ghadija Ismail, a regular supporter of theevent.“I love the setup of all age groups playing

at the same venue as it saves me having togo to two different fields to watch my boys,who play u.9 and u.11 respectively. I supportSaxon Rovers because both my sons playthere, but I can strike up conversationswithparents from other clubs because PS4L hascreated a close, family-like soccer communi-ty.”Ismail says she has noticed a significant

improvement in her sons’ behaviour withtheir participation in the programme.“Comerain or shine they are always ready

to come and play.”

Grow as individualsThose involved feel that PS4L gives the

children in the local communities an oppor-tunity to develop more than just soccerskills, allowing them to grow as individualsand brings them together no matter whattheir age.PS4L runs similar events every Saturday

morning between 09:00 and 12:00 at varioussports grounds across Cape Town.

Young communities unite with soccer

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

A trio of local teens have set their sightson achieving greater heights, follow-ing their participation in the Durban

international u.19 tournament recently.Aghmat Ceres, Darren Johnson and Sha-

ne Saralina, who are 18 years old and playfor Ajax Cape Town, were selected for theSouth African u.19 team, who obtained athird-place finish at the tournament.South Africa’s best young soccer players

lined up against six international teams,namely AC Milan, Arsenal, Celtic FC, Gala-tasaray SK, PSV Eindhoven and VfB Stutt-gart, while a KZN academy also took part inthe high-profile event.Saralina is from Mitchell’s Plain and said

that even though this was his second call-upto the national side, he obtained valuable ex-perience in Durban.“It was a great experience there (in Dur-

ban). We were together for a few weeks, butit wasn’t easy for playerswho came togetherso suddenly,” he said.The Portlands High School pupil played

every match in which his team participatedin and although he plays at left-back for hisclub, he was employed as one of the main-stays in the heart of South Africa’s defence.

Saralina was grateful for the opportunityto show off his talent to the scouts at thetournament, with a view to hopefully se-cure a lucrative PSL contract.Ceres is fromGrassy Park and thrived in

the engine roomof the team, playing in cen-tral midfield.“To me it was a great experience playing

against the best in theworld. It’s tough, butI played with a host of good players. Thehighlight for me was scoring for my coun-try on debut. You can’t describe the feeling;it’s a nice feeling to have in that moment.”Ceres’s debut goal helped the team to a

2-0 win over AC Milan. Despite being di-minutive in size, he is not lacking in pas-sion and verve, especially when faced withthe challenge of playing against someof theworld’s elite.“They are fit, they are strong and clever,

and so you just have to try to compete withthem. You have to be clever, quick and justdon’t let them touch you!”Meanwhile, Johnson, a goalkeeper, only

hoped that this was the start of a long andillustrious career in soccer. He hopes toemulateManchester United’s Spanish shotstopper, David de Gea, in the future.“All of the experience I got from national

duty, I am bringing back home and devel-oping my style of play. I started as a centre

back, but changed to goal-keeping by heart,because I love that position.”Johnson was hardly surprised by his in-

clusion in thenational setup, despite it being

his first time representing his country, butmaintained that had he not been called up,it would not have been the end of the world.“I still have a whole career ahead of me.”
