Long way to crimefreeASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Homelessness, robberies and house break-ins were among the issues were high-

lighted at a Wynberg Community PolicingForum meeting last week.Brigadier Riaan Booysen, station com-

mander of Wynberg police station, ad-dressed crime issues in the community.“Although we may have seen a decrease

in certain crime categories, we still have avery long way to go in fighting crime,” hesaid.Booysen said that violent crimes, theft out

of cars and house break-ins remained a con-cern for the police and they continued tomonitor and police these crimes.

Booysen said a large percentage of thecrimes committed were by individuals whocame into the community from neighbour-ing areas.“Many of these crimes take place either in

the early hours of the morning or late atnight, but we have experienced robberiesand house break-ins during the day aswell,”he said.He said drug-related crimes were a major

problem for the police.“We implement many operations and

many of our resources go into fighting thiscrime and for the past financial year wemade about 5691 arrests related to drugs,” hesaid.Booysen further said the issue around

homelessness was complex.

“Whilewe do police this, it is a social prob-lem and the police cannot just move peoplefrom one place to another,” he said.Booysen urged the community to be pa-

tient with homeless people during winter.“Wehave to be humane towards everyone,

but we will act if there is a major problemand call in other departments or profession-als who can assist us,” he said.Guest speaker Cornelia Finch, coordina-

tor of the City of Cape Town’s street peopleprogramme, also addressed the issue ofhomelessness.Finch said the City had adopted a street

people policy to reduce the number of peopleliving on the streets and reintegrate themwith their families and into their communi-ties of origin.

“The City aims to have a holistic, integrat-ed approach indealingwith the street peoplephenomenon. This is achieved through part-nerships with NGOs, community-based or-ganisations andvarious government depart-ments at national and provincial level,” shesaid.The programme focuses on prevention

and rehabilitation. “During the preventioncomponent we focus on identifying andworking with children at risk at communitylevel by providing the necessary supportand alternative programmes to ensure thatthey remain with their families within thecommunities. This work is done by the localnetworks of care in collaborationwith otherstakeholders.V Continued on page 2.

“Integration is a long-term process that in-cludes identifying and working with chil-dren and adults who live and work on thestreets, with the aim to rehabilitate them,”she said.Finch said this was done through NGOs

in collaboration with various stakeholdersand was mostly shelter-based to ensure thatrehabilitation work was done effectivelyand that the necessary skills required to sus-tain them once theywere reintegrated, wereinstilled.The shelter-based programmes include re-

habilitation fromsubstance abuse and train-ing in life skills and technical skills that willimprove their employability.“We also want to urge residents and the

public not to give food or money directly tohomeless people, but instead to supporttheir local shelter,” she said.In this way, Finch said, homeless people

could be approached in an environmentwhere the resources were available to helpthem.

While crime and grime remain an issue inWynberg, the police and the City of Cape

Driveby art celebrates Cape prideASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Hout Bay resident has gone the extramile to elevate people to let them, for a

moment, feel some magic and wonder forour world.And he has done this by “lighting up” the

“dark, eerie” Rhodes Drive.Bryan Little, a filmmaker and director at

Fly on the Wall art collective, used reflectortape and signage he designed to entertainmotorists.The initiative, called Endemic, is aimed to

inspire people to think about our naturalheritage and recognise the wonder in theworld again.“Endemic in conservation biology means

the animals and plants found here are foundnowhere else in the world; they are uniqueto the Western Cape and the fynbos biome.The truth is that in the fynbosplantkingdomwe have some of the richest biodiversity inthe world,” he says.

Glow in the darkLittle says the idea came from frequently

travelling on Rhodes Drive towards hishome in Hout Bay. He wanted to give some-thing back to the “dark, eerie” road for allthe inspiration it has given him over theyears.Little says the reflector tape idea came

about almost by accident, as hewas thinkingabout how to interact with cars. He startedthinking about signage and noticed thatsome signs glow in the dark.“I tracked down the tape and when taking

a photo of it in the hardware shop, I had theflash on by mistake and the tape literallypopped with light. I knew then I was on tosomething,” he says.Little loves the fact that the reflector tape

requires light towork and that it is normallyused as a warning signal. Our natural heri-tage is our most valuable resource, so weneed to start listening to the warning signs,he feels.This may be the first time that something

likehis project has beendone. “I have lookedextensively on the internet and found noth-ing like it in the world,” he says.Asked why he chose Rhodes Drive specifi-

cally, he says it is an interesting stretch ofroad: “It’s very special that we can have aroad that feels so remote and wild right inthe middle of a major city.“On the one side we have Table Mountain

National Park and on the other suburbia. Itis also a contentious space in terms of con-servation, with the mandate of the NationalPark to remove all alien trees being chal-

lenged by peoplewho feel that the shade pro-vided and the inherent beauty of the treesmake them immune to the call for biodiver-sity,” he says.Little says the Cape Peninsula alone sup-

ports 2200 species,more than the entireUnit-ed Kingdom. Although fynbos comprises on-ly 6% of southern African land, it containshalf the plant species of the subcontinentand represents almost 20% of all Africanplant species.He started the Endemic project with the

picture of a single owl mounted against atree in 2013, to test the durability and viabili-ty of the idea. Then in September last yearhe placed seven more creatures to see whatthe response would be and whether peoplewould remove the pieces.“I was verymethodical about the different

testing phases because, as a filmmaker, I amexploring new ways of telling stories andthis project is my first foray into what I call‘future film’. As such, I am trying to exploreand reinvent specific elements of filmmak-ing,” he says.Little deliberately kept it simple and only

played with certain elements si that by re-moving the cameraandplacing the audienceinto the experience he made it site-specific– “You have to be there and let the car’s mo-tion be the element of time and narrative.”“Iworked closelywith sound artist Sylvan

Aztok (Simon Kohler), in order to positionand geotag the different species and scenes.It was a delicate balancing act, creating dif-ferent environments and timing the speed ofthe car with sound elements,” he says.The project will exist until the species dis-

appear or until the signs are removed fromthe sites for whatever reason.This is something thathehasbuilt into the

project on purpose. “People get really upsetwhen the creatures ‘go missing’, myself in-cluded, and I feel that it is appropriate thatpeople feel that loss. It makes the idea of spe-cies extinction a little less abstract,” he says.“The fact that someone can feel sadness,

anger, even frustration over something aselusive as say, a Table Mountain ghost frog,means that I feel I have succeeded, as manyof these endemic species are endangered andsome critically endangered. The geometrictortoise, for example, only has a few hun-dred left in the world,” he says.Little has been asked to do something sim-

ilar in India and Reunion and has been ap-proached by the Endangered Wildlife Trustto expand theEndemic initiative into anoffi-cial project for them, which Little finds veryexciting.“I would love for it to grow and perhaps

have a life of its own,” he adds.

Smartphones unlockedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Phones have become an essential part ofour daily lives.With technology advancing every day,

some are also working tirelessly to ensurethat no-one is left out of this world of ever-evolving technology.Vodacom, in partnership with the Cape

TownSociety of theBlind (CTSB) inSalt Riv-er, created a unique kiosk to bring the bene-fits of the latest smartphones to the blind.Thekiosk, launchedonTuesday lastweek,

will be operated by CTSB staff trained to

demonstrate the advantages of text-to-speech software on the latest touchscreenphones.The CTSB will also benefit financially

from the sale of starter packs, M-pesa andairtime at the kiosk.The text-to-speech function makes it eas-

ier for visually impairedpeople to communi-cate using their smartphones. It is now builtinto the phone, making life much easier.Visually impaired Michelle Botha (27) us-

es an iPhone 5 and says this initiative isgreat because, nowadays, communicationdoesn’t happen verbally anymore. “We areable to connect and check what’s happening

on social media. Gone are the days when weused to ask someone to read a text for us.Now we have our privacy and we can makeuse of the speech function to listen to themessages that we get as well as to respond,”she says.While using a smartphone when visually

impaired isn’t awalk in the park, Botha saysthemost important thing is toplaywithyourphone and get to know it.“It’s just like any other flatscreen phone

that anyone can use. But we have to knowthe icons so that it will be easy to use thephone.But the speech texts reallyhelp a lot,”she says.

Week-long crimespree brokenA week-long crime spree by two mendriving awhite Peugeot 207 came to anabrupt halt on Friday night.

Members of the Western Cape flyingunit arrested two suspects and recov-ered a stolen car in the vicinity ofSawkins Road in Mowbray at about19:20. The arrested suspects, aged 31and 32years,werebeing sought in con-nection with a string of crimes com-mitted in the policing precincts ofClaremont, Diepriver and Wynberg.

The crime spree started on Mondaylastweek. The suspects heldup awom-an in Firs Avenue in Claremont in theafternoon and robbed her of her hand-bag, containing personal items, andher car, the white Peugeot 207, beforefleeing from the scene.

On Tuesday morning a man waswalking along Doordrift Road in Con-stantia when two unknown malesdriving the white Peugeot 207 alleged-ly stoppedalongsidehimandasked fordirections. He told them that he didnot know the road in question and pro-ceeded to walk on.

Ashe reachedhis destination, heno-ticed that the same car had just driveninto the driveway. The passenger thengot out and held him up at knife point.

The suspect robbed him of his lap-top, cellphone and wallet before flee-ing the scene. On Wednesday morningthe suspects were again spotted inSpaarman Avenue, where they heldup a woman at knife point and robbedher of her handbag containing person-al items and cash. The arrested sus-pects, who hail from Westlake andGrassy Park, appeared in the Wyn-berg Magistrates’ Court yesterday oncharges relating to carjacking andarmed robbery. The commander ofthe Wynberg police cluster, BrigadierAaron Mlenga, applauds the police fortheir concerted efforts in arresting thewanted suspects. He also wants to as-sure the community that thepolice arecommitted in the fight against crime.

Life is really too short to have to wait forinformationor to talk toyourneighbours.This is what the developer of the OurHood

app, Bruce Good, believes. OurHood wasfounded by Good and Will Mellor, who arebased in Woodstock.This state-of-the-art application and web-

volved with their neighbours and give themthe ability to communicate in a faster way.

He says the app makes it easy to get helpquickly – be it if your dog has gone missingor you just want to borrow a ladder fromsomeone in yourneighbourhood or to find outthe load shedding schedule in your area.Good says it will help neighbours share dif-

ferent kinds of information to help improvetheir neighbourhoods and make them safe.“Our aimwas to fight crime. Thiswill allow

for safer neighbourhoods as people can get as-sistance in the blink of an eye, as they are ableto communicate in real time. This will allowthem to share things and get to know theirneighbourhood and their neighbours evenbetter because the more people talk they will

be closer to each other,” he says.The app has a very strict verification

process for registration. This will allowpeople in the neighbourhoods to connectmucheasier andnot allowpeoplewhodon’tbelong in the same neighbourhood.Instead of posting a notice in a shopping

mall, this new sophisticated app givesspace for it and alsohas a section for impor-tant numbers.People can report crime, neighbours can

buy and sell items, and share events hap-pening in their area.“Everything is just one click away. We

are also promoting the spirit of sharing. Ifyou want to go camping but don’t have acampingmattress and someone in the areahas it, you can just post on there and some-one will help you quickly. The whole ideais to connect neighbourhoods and promotesafer communities. When people interactthey will be safer communities,” says

Good.Since the appwas launched last yearmore

than 800 neighbourhoods in South Africahave started using it.“People like it because they can reach

each other cheaply and quickly. People areso amazed by it and it has unlocked new pos-sibilities that they didn’t know about theirneighbourhoods,” he says.Adrian Good, ADT general manager, fully

supports the OurHood app and is excited tobe part of it.“We decided to get behind this initiative

because we recognise the value in real timeconnection. In this day and age it’s crucialthatweknowand trust the peoplewe see dai-ly. Having a platform that allows for con-structive communicationwhile promoting asafe and secure neighbourhood is advanta-geous to all,” says Good.V The app is free and can be downloaded at www.our-hood.co.za, on the Apple store or Google Play store.

Songs a present to fansLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town blues rockers CrimsonHouse want to give their new album

away.The band members, who are preparing

to release their third album, Come alive,have decided that instead of selling theirnew release at their launch, they’d like to“gift” the album in digital and physicalformats to new and existing fans.“We wanted to get the music out there,

that’s it,” says Crimson House frontmanRiaan Smit.He says the band doesn’t want to have

to sell the album at one show at a time orhave to fight with distributors and labelsto get it “in the hands of the people wemade it for”.One of the songs on the already com-

pleted album is called “Give it all away”,in which Riaan sings about his soul notbeing “for sale”. “Iwanted to standbehindthat lyric, and this music is my soul, ourcollective souls, and we’re not for sale.”While the recording of Come alive has

already been paid for by regular showsover aperiod of twoyears, CrimsonHousehas partnered with South African crowd-funding company Thundafund to raisemoney to print and distribute the album.Through its Thundafund campaign,

Crimson House fans or “pledgers” canchoose a number of pledge options, fromR100,whichbuys adigital download of thealbum once it’s released, or R150, whichbuys a digital copy of all three CrimsonHouse albumsand a printed version of thenew one, to more expensive options thatbuy merchandise and dinner with theband. An extremely generous fan mightconsider the R100 000 pledge, which buysthe band’s banjo player, Arno van Zyl, orAra as he’s affectionately known, for anight “no questions asked”.Come alive was recorded at Jo Ellis’s

Blueroom Studios in Ladismith. Jo hap-pens to be Riaan’s grandmother’s neigh-

bour and worked on his cousin WilliamWelfare’s (previously Willem Welsyn) al-bum.Riaan describes the recording process

as an amazing journey, despite a roughstart.Theyhad already lost a day of recording

time when they started with their firstsession after Riaan got arrested for spee-ding on his way to Ladismith while liste-ning to the Black Cat Bones’s new album.“I got carried away in a head bang with

Ara and missed the sign.”The detour wasn’t a complete waste,

though. Riaan wrote the song “Holdingcell” while sitting in one.The band has been together for about

five years and Riaan says there’s a senseof brotherhood that comes out in the mu-sic now that they’ve got to know eachother.Besides themore relaxed atmosphere it

was recorded in, Come alive is also diffe-rent from the band’s previous albums,Smoke, dust and whisky and Red shack

rock because it contains 16 songs – morethan their usual nine or 10.The songs were also all tracked live, gi-

ving the album a more “natural feel”.The band is also proud of Come alive’s

albumart, createdbyartistEmilyParadiswhile listening to the album. Emily crea-ted the cover as a physical canvas pain-ting. The original artwork can also bebought as a pledge reward.Once Crimson House has raised its R80

000 target and pledgers have received thealbum, the bandmembers plan to literallythrow the rest off stage at their debut Op-pikoppi performance later this year.Come alivewill be launched at Hillcrest

Quarry in Durbanville on Sunday 26 Julywhere Crimson House will be performingwith the Nomadic Orchestra and Mr Catand the Jackal.V Visit www.thundafund.com/Crimsonhousecome-alive before Friday 26 June to support Crimson Hou-se’s crowd-funding campaign. Visit www.face-book.com/CrimsonHouse to see Emily’s artwork orfor more information about the band.

Dancers show off their “paw steps”A group of local dancers and artists will co-me together on stage to raise funds for ani-mal sterilisation in the Western Cape.They will perform in Dancers love dogs at

the Artscape Opera House on Saturday.Brigitte Reeve-Taylor started the annual

show and Dancers Love Dogs (DLD) organi-sation in 2012 as a “random act of kindness”and has since brought hundreds of dancerstogether to help furry lives.Since its inception, thenot-for-profit orga-

nisation has raised over R1m to foot the billof sterilising about 6500 animals.The journey began when Reeve-Taylor

rescued a puppy alongside a busy highwayand discovered, on her journey to find help

for the animal, the miserable existence thathomeless animals endure on the streets ofCape Town and its communities.Sterilisations, over time, make an enor-

mous difference in reducing the number ofstrays and unwanted dogs in our society.Themoney raised byDLDalso financially

helps dog ownerswhowant to sterilise theirpets but find the cost too high.This year’s show will be hosted by Bren-

dan van Rhyn, who starred as Frank-n-Fur-ter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent producti-on of The Rocky horror show.The rest of the line-up includes Cape

TownCity Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama,Vadhini Indian Arts Academy, Ashley and

BradleySearle, theEOANGroup,Art inMo-tion from Johannesburg and AnanadaFuchs, amongst many others.There will also be special appearances by

the SA Guide Dogs Association as well asBob, the “Frenchie” fromSABC3’sExpressoshow.Tickets for the show cost R250, which

equals the cost of two-thirds of one sterilisa-tion, and are available at Computicket. Vi-sit www.dancerslovedogs.weebly.com formore information.V Sponsors are needed to donate prizes for the luckydraw. Anyone interested in supporting this cause canemail [email protected] or call 021 671 2442 for moreinformation.
