WYNBERG: POLICE LAUNCH DRUG BLITZ

Blood and badgesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Main Road, Wynberg, was ground zerofor a dramatic showdownbetweenpo-lice and a suspected drug dealer this

week.On Tuesday 1 April officers hit a popular

arcade on the corner ofMain andEgglestoneroads while on a joint patrol with Metro Po-lice and Law Enforcement.As they make their way through the ar-

cade aman provides the location for the sus-pected drug dealer.They enter a cafe where two men are see-

ing playing pool. The second man makes aswallowing action and when confronted bypolice he gets aggressive.Theman iswell known to police for selling

heroin on Main Road and they proceed tosearch him.“He has it in his mouth,” one officer

shouts.They try to get the drugs out of his mouth

but the man is too quick and swallows it inone go.When questioned by police the man turns

violent and officers try to calm him down,but he refuses to listen.A wrestling brawl ensued resulting in the

suspect assaulting an officer.It takes three officers to tie him down on

the pool table and they slap handcuffs onhim.An officer’s badge, pulled off during the

scuffle, lies on the floor covered in dropsblood.The shop owner is not impressed and

shouts at officers to take the man out of hisstore.“Why do you have to do this here.?You are

going to damage my shop,” he says.But officers inform him because he allows

drug deals in his store, this will happenmore often. “You knowwhy. Because you al-low them to do their nonsense here,” War-rant Officer Petrus von Molendorff says.The suspect is taken to Main Road where

police wait for the van to take him to the sta-tion.Here he shouts at curious onlookers that

police are trying to kill him. He refuses totake instructions from officers and continu-ously tries to slip away, but the boys in bluewere not letting him escape.

A crowd gathers outside the arcade andpeople are heard commenting on the arrest.“Lock up the pigs. The dealers makeWyn-

berg so dirty,” a woman shouts.Officers say thewar against drugs inWyn-

berg is becoming a bitter pill to swallow.They explain crafty dealers not only swal-

low drugs but hide it in their mouths.Themanwas taken toWynberg Police Sta-

tion and charged with assault and riotousbehaviour as police could not recover thedrugs.Wynberg Police station commander Brig-

adier Booysen says swallowing of drugs isa common occurrence. He says when this

does happen officers have to go through thered tape of getting a court order to have thesuspect x-rayed or their stomach pumped.A three-hour operation, under the com-

mand of VonMolendorff commences in Bon-nytoun informal settlement just after noon.Once inside the settlement officers go

straight towards a shack they claim is knowfor dealing.The owner has been arrested previously.Here officers findmore than 12 people hid-

ing inside the small dwelling. Four of themare women.None of them have illegal substances in

their possession.

Policemake their way to a pedestrian tun-nel near Mitcham Road at the WynbergTransport Interchange.As they enter the area, a man takes one

look and runs through the tunnel. Officersgive chase and question and search theman.They suspect hemight have thrown drugs

as he ran but cannot prove it. They have tolet him go.Officers also cover a tavern in Church

Street before making the arrest in the ar-cade.V Share your thoughts on drug dealers. Starting withthe word “Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

Possible vehicle licence fee hike in provinceProvincial government proposed an in-crease of 3,4% on motor vehicle licensingin their draft regulation on Friday 28March. This proposal will affect 1,7 mil-lion motorists in the province.Provincial government will be publish-

ing its draft regulations which pertain tomotor vehicle license fee increases.Provincial minister of Transport and

Public Works Robin Carlisle says: “I havedecided once again that, while it is not yetrequired by law, the proposed increaseshould be subject to a full public participa-

tion process. Last year, following a similarprocess of full public participation, pro-posed increases of an average 5.3% wereimplemented across the province.”Carlisle says that this year’s fee increas-

es amount to “anaverage 3.4%increase forthe provincewhich is lower than the infla-tion rate of 5.9% recorded during Febru-ary 2014.”During the period 2001 to 2006, the prov-

ince increased its license fees dramatical-ly by an average of 10% over five years,which led to this provincehaving thehigh-

est license fees in most classes of vehiclesand trailers in the country.During the period between 2006 and 2007

vehicle registration and licence fees in theprovince were on average 50% comparedto that of other provinces.“Provincial government relies heavily

on vehicle licence fees to build, upgradeandmaintain the provincially-owned roadnetwork, assist municipalities to fund themaintenance of their more strategic roadsand to continue to reduce themaintenancebacklog,” Carlisle says.

FINANCE: GRANT RECIPIENTS IN A PANIC

Loan ‘scam’ hits Sassa clients hardNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cash-strapped residents believe theyhave been hit by a scam targeting thosealready living on the breadline.

Scores of grant recipients applied forloans from what they believed was a SouthAfrican Social Security Agency (Sassa) ac-credited company.However, no other company has permis-

sion to operate under Sassa’s name.Thelma Classen says she had told her son

she had nomoney for food onlymoments be-fore she heard she could get a loan from Sas-sa at her local civic centre.“I went to the community centre and it

was full of people getting loans. The peoplefrom the loan company said they were fromSassa, and because I have a disability grant,I can get a R300 loan,” she says.The money was available on her grant

card the next day.Sassa regional spokesperson Shivani Wa-

hab says the agencyhas no affiliation to loanagencies.“Sassa can confirm that we are aware of

the fact that various companies are provid-ing loans to social security beneficiariesclose to some contact points. Sassa is in noway linked to or associated withmicro-lend-ers,” she says.Collen Jacobs saysmost of the community

members would not have taken out a loanif they thought it was not Sassa offering thecash. “If Sassa’s name wasn’t used, wewouldn’t have gone. What will happen now?Will they take theamount ownedorwill theykeep deducting? People feel there is a scamon the go.”Lending money to grant recipients can

have dire effects, Wahab warns.“We are not in support of the loans that

are granted to beneficiaries as it deepens thecycle of poverty with the loans that must berepaid at very high interest rates. The im-pact of this is that people are trapped payingback the loans and taking out new loans,”she says.“Social grants remain one of govern-

ment’s main poverty alleviation initiativesand Sassa has repeatedlywarned beneficiar-ies against entering into any loan agree-mentswithmoney lenders or financial insti-tutions.”Pensioner Andrew Willams took out a

loan against his better judgement.“I took anR800 loan onmypension. I know

it is illegal to take out loans if you are a Sassagrant recipient and would never have ap-plied for the money if it was not a Sassa or-ganisation,” he says.Taking out a loan as a grant recipient is

prohibited, Wahab says, and there is littleSassa can do to intervene in loan agree-ments.“No social grant beneficiarymayuse their

social grant as a guarantee to obtain a loan.

Deductions arenot made fromthe Sassa socialgrant and the fullamount is paidinto the bank ac-count of benefici-aries,” she says.“Money lend-

ers/financial in-stitutions effectthese deductionswithin the rulesof the bankingsector and oncethe grants arepaid into thebank accounts ofbeneficiaries, thedeductions aremade. We unfor-tunately do nothave any controlover these deduc-tions and benefi-ciaries need toengage the mon-ey lenders or fi-nancial institu-tions in this re-gard.”Moneyline has

been offeringloans to benefici-aries since 2000,says CEO SergeBelamant, andhas never “usedSassa’s name orinfluence to mar-ket, offer or sellloans”.“I do not be-

lieve that Sassahas stated that such loans are illegal. Sassaknows that these loans are provided underthe credit and banking acts and are, as such,100% legitimate,” he argues.“Sassa may, however, view the offering of

any loan to beneficiaries as illegal. On theother hand, it is poor people that need credit!

We believe that if managed responsibly, fi-nancial assistance can be the difference be-tween life and death for many beneficiariesor can certainly improve their lives.”V Should grant recipients be allowed to take outloans? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Rural girls trapped in the sex tradeMICHELLE LINNERT

There is amarked increase of young ruralgirls being attracted to cities forwork andending up being prostitutes and pimps forsyndicates.At least three or four cases are reported

monthly.All these cases are investigated by the

Organised Crime Unit, says policespokesperson Captain Finny Nimb.“This unit handles similar cases from

all over theWestern Cape,” she confirms.Nimb says reported cases come under

the police’s attention when crime-com-bating units conduct sting operations atbrothels or when the girls or NGOs laycharges.“Most of the girls come fromrural areas

or from the Eastern Cape. Cases wheregirls were brought in from Nigeria andThailand have also been reported. These

girls are usually attractive and young –between 18 and 22 years old,” Nimb says.“They, as well as their parents, are not

aware of the nature of the work they arecoming here to do.”She explains how the recruitment of

these girls usually take place. “Membersof the organisations – which are usuallyrun by Nigerians – befriend local girls,who then do the recruitment. When the(rural) girl realises what is happening,she is locked in and exposed to drugs.They approach girls innightclubs and aresometimes friends with the girls they re-cruit,” Nimb says.Wilma Peak, the social servicesmanag-

er of the Voortrekker Corridor Improve-ment District, echoes Nimb’s concernsabout women who fall into the trap.“There are so many girls – from rural

areas and also African countries such asNigeria and Cameroon – who are victims

of kidnapping and are enticed here withthe promise of a job,” she says.“When they arrive, the syndicate sup-

posedly allows them to live in an apart-ment for free and promise they will startworking soon. A short while later, thesyndicate insists that the person needs tostart paying rent,” Peak says.“Of course, the person does not work

and he or she will then be forced to eitherprostitute themselves or to act as a pimp.”Nimb say if a victim lays a criminal

charge of abduction or kidnapping, shewill be housed in a place of safety untilthe suspect is apprehended and appearsin court.“Thereafter the victims are helped by

NGOs to be reunited with their families,”she says.Nimb urges anyone with information

on such incidents to contact their nearestpolice station.“In the latest incident last month, three

foreigners were arrested in Bellville. Thegirl was 18 and from Hammanskraal.”

WYNBERG: RECORD CONVICTIONS PROVIDE MORE MOMENTUM FOR COPS

Heavy fines for sex workersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt handed down stiffsentences for several prosti-

tutes found operating in Wyn-berg and Kenilworth.In a police report outlining sev-

eralmonths of undercover opera-tions, five women have beenfound guilty of prostitution.In the first case a prostitute

was fined R15 000 and received a10-year suspended sentence.The remaining women all re-

ceived suspended sentences andwere declared unfit to carry fire-arms.Wynberg Station commander

Brigadier Riaan Booysen saysthis is a record for the station.“The station has never had

such a successful conviction ratefor prostitution,” he says.Booysen explains following

concerns from residents, policeadopted a “no nonsense” ap-proach to prostitution.With many hours of investiga-

tion andmanpower used on thesecases, police hope they haveproved how serious they areabout prostitution.He says the impact of prostitu-

tion on the Wynberg precinct isimmense.In addition to these sentences,

Booysen says many of them havebeen ordered to complete com-munity service at the station.

“Should they not adhere to thecourt order or be caught sellingsex, they will go to jail,” hewarns.Last year, police took a fresh

approach by targeting the cli-ents. A register of vehicles seenpicking up prostitutes was keptand vehicle owners were traced.Many were visited by police in

the presence of their spouses andfamilies and told to refrain fromutilising the services of prosti-tutes.This, Booysen says, has left

many red-faced and led to a re-duction in prostitution.Community Police Forum

(CPF) chairperson JimmyYoungsays the have welcomed the sen-tences.He explains prostitution has

had the communities up in armsfor several years.In addition, Young says, links

have been established betweenprostitution and other crimessuch as the drug trade and theftout of motor vehicles.“In monitoring the men who

work with prostitutes policehave also arrested them for thesecrimes.This proves that prostitu-tion has an overall negative im-pact,” he says.The report says twomorewom-

en are still to appear in court oncharges of prostitution.V Share your thoughts on prostitution.Starting with the word “Post” SMS yourcomments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

SERVICE DELIVERY: BID TO REMOVE DA OFFICIAL

Councillor inward conflictMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Wynberg residents arecalling on the Demo-cratic Alliance to re-

move Elizabeth Brunette astheir ward councillor.This follows a squabble

over service deliverysparked by a planning appli-cation for 27 Orient Road.However, Brunette says

after receiving 94% of thevotes in Ward 62 which cov-ers Wynberg, Plumstead,Constantia, Bishopscourt,Fernwood and Newlands, she will com-plete her five-year term in office.Last month, residents filled the coun-

cil chambers at the Protea Subcouncil toobject against a plan to build three town-houses at the derelict house.The house which was left vacant by

the owners has been the bone of conten-tion for several months as residents andpolice raised concerns about the pres-ence of drug users.Following a fire in the roof, the City

of Cape Town declared the house a prob-lem building and it has since been se-cured by the owners.At the meeting, Brunette said consid-

ering the land use rights on the propertyshe recommended it be approved.Residents immediately voiced their

anger at the decision.Later that day emailswere sent among

residents about a plan to remove the “in-effective councillor”.Resident Darron Araujo says resi-

dents in Silverlea, Mountain View, BayView, ProspectHill Road, Cogill,MaltonandWilson roads would like Brunette tostep down.They claim she has not actively taken

up issues by residents and instead “re-peatedly argued inability to help us di-rectly, herself”.Their main concerns of residents are

crime, increasing traffic volumes andthe granting of departures regarding 27Orient Road and drug abuse.Residents also highlight prostitution

taking place at a vacant City-ownedproperty in Tenby Road.“We further note that all the most re-

cent service delivery achievementstrumpeted byBrunette in her latest com-munity email locate exclusively withinthe Constantia area: no future projectsare planned for our area either,” Araujosays.

Brunette says this is nottrue as there are severalprojects taking place inWyn-berg.These include her motion

to the City of Cape Town’sTransport Department for aWynberg Area TransportManagement Plan to addresstraffic congestion and the up-grade of Wynberg TransportInterchange. These are twoongoing projects.The transport plan, she ex-

plains, was complete in 2013and the implementation ofthis plan at certain intersec-

tions will take place when the funds areavailable. “The upgrade of the inter-change is an ongoing project which willcoincide with the roll-out of the MyCiTibus service inWynberg,” Brunette says.She explains she regularly attends

meetings held by the Wynberg Improve-ment District and convenes regularmeetings with City officials about prob-lem buildings in Wynberg.Residents also claim the councillor did

not address their concerns regarding 27Orient Road and “read off a preparedspeech that neatly paraphrased the de-veloper’s own arguments”.Brunette explains the current zoning

allows the owners to five-storeyed build-ing up to 15m in height.As the application was only for two

storeys at a height of 7.5m, she says theapplication falls well within the allowa-ble zoning requirements.“The Subcouncil does not have the au-

thority to block the development of thisproperty. The only matter on which wehad to make a decision was whether toapprove minor departures relating tothe street setback, parking, width of car-riageway crossing and site access,” shesays.Residents have now contacted politi-

cal parties such as the ANC, Cope andthe DA to attend a public meeting. Arau-jo says Brunette will also be invited tothis meeting to ensure “openness andfairness”.“We are not actively campaigning for

the removal of the ward councillor inas-muchasweareactively campaigning forour concerns to be heard and construc-tively acted upon by local government,to benefit the whole Wynberg communi-ty,” he adds.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word“Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes costR1.

Construction on the new R300m hospitalin Tokai will commence soon.

Melomed and its partners held a sodturning ceremony at the site, on the cornersof Main and Keyser roads, last week.

The land, purchased by Melomed Hospi-tal in September 2012, was handed over toconstruction firm Martin and Roberts lastweek. Construction is expected to be com-pleted in 14 months.

The five-floor hospital was designed byIPA Architects and Dušan Brandstätter.

The new hospital will consist of 148 beds,four operating theatres, an obstetric thea-tre and a catheterisation laboratory for car-dio neuro-vascular procedures.

It will also have 35 adult medical beds, 22adult surgical beds, a 20-bed Intensive CareUnit (ICU) and 10 beds for high care facili-

ties.For children and babies there will be five

neonatal ICU beds, 10 cots, five paediatricICU beds, three paediatric isolation bedsand 20 paediatric beds. There will be 15 bedsfor psychiatric patients and provision willbe made for day patients with 15 day beds.

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr FerhanaBhorat said it coincided with the 25th anni-versary of the Gatesville hospital.

She said the hospital will be complement-ed with their own ambulance service.

Provincial health minister Theuns Bothasaid private hospitals were an importantroleplayer in healthcare.

He said he was excited to see the new hos-pital.

Melomed spokesperson Randal Pedrosays several sites were considered but theTokai site was chosen due to its location onMain Road, as well as proximity to trans-port routes and commercial.

PEOPLE'S POST | CONSTANTIA | WYNBERGThursday, 3 April 20148 LEADER

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post

Winter is upon us as she shows off her nasty wet andwindy sting.And the bad news keeps coming.Citizens have to contend with increases in everything:

from the petrol price to food costs and other necessaryevils like car licences. The list is endless.Entertainment options are slim on the ground when

Sassa grant beneficiaries queue up to take out loans. Noteveryone can live in the splendour that is Nkandla.Let’s hope the politicians are actually listening to the

masses while they’re out wooing the voters to make theircross next to their faces on those ballot papers comeWednesday 7 May.The people are hungry and fed-up; two decades into de-

mocracy many are still waiting for those electioneeringpromises to materialise.So it should hardly come as a surprise that MyCiTi bus

drivers have joined the fray of the striking workforce.It takes a single match to light a big fire. Is it already

strike season? Or have these just rolled into one big, stew-ing snowball of discontent to land in the laps of a govern-ment who should care?It took a simple strike for the MyCiTi system to grind

to a halt. The jewel in the crown of the local governmentneeds a bit of spit and polish for politicians to wax lyricalabout this transport initiative.Commuters are frequently at themercy of themachina-

tions of strike action. They are the unfortunate victimsof demands for better working hours and wage increases.Rail and bus commuters are equally left stranded when

these drivers shift down a gear and decide en masse todown tools.This is the only time that taxi operators are left smiling,

but even they can often not keep up with the demand dur-ing strikes.To be fair, MyCiTi is good when it works – until the

strike, that is.

Flip sides of the coinI refer to Monique Duval’s “Finding com-mon ground” (People’s Post, 20 March)which reports on a proposal to erect a fencearound the Meadowridge Sports Field.As residents of Meadowridge for just on

half a century, my wife and I have long val-ued the open nature of the land, part ofwhich is now known as the MeadowridgeCommon.For children, walkers of all ages, wild

flower lovers and many others the area hasbeen a breath of fresh air for lives otherwiseconstricted by suburbia.When cricket and soccer were played on

the fieldmaintained pro bono by a local resi-dentweused to stand on the sidelines admir-ing the players’ skills. When there were nogames, the field was used for various harm-less recreations.To surround our field with a high fence

would be to change this atmosphere forever.The club, however, notes that its club-

house has been broken into. It also notes itsbar was rifled last year.Does a bar have to be maintained as a

temptation to thieves?Can club members and their friends not

bring along what they need and take awayafterwardswhat (if any) hasnot beendrunk?Roger Graham, chairperson of Friends of

the Meadowridge Common, has good argu-ments why a R700 000 fence might not be asolution to the problem. The distance of theclubhouse from residences means thatwould-be thieves could just climb over thefence and do their thing.Security guardswould provide a better de-

terrent. An effective alarm and rapid re-sponse unit would be better.Belinda Walker, the City of Cape Town

Mayoral Committee member for Communi-ty Services and Special Projects, also hasconstructive ideas.A clubhouse could be made less vulnera-

ble by fitting burglar bars and/or rollershut-ter doors. I personally saw the efficacy ofrollershutter doors in East Jerusalem in2000whenhundreds of shopowners respond-ed to the start of the second Intifada by clos-ing up their premises in this way.I believe the Meadowridge Football Club

has its lease on nominal terms.Does this mean it can (make exclusive)

land which is in the public domain?The MFC chairperson is disingenuous to

speak of an “unauthorized use” of the fieldby walkers, kite flyers and others. The MFChas an agreement with the municipality toplay soccer there. Surely this is not owner-ship? I would suggest there is no need for“finding common ground”. The commonground already exists. The issue concerns aproposal which wants to take it away.

GEOFFREY HARESNAPEMeadowridge

Bring on harsherpunishmentI have just read the letter page referring tothe crime and drug dealing inWynberg sentin by the residents (“Crime: expose it”,“Grand Central is a ‘nightmare’”, People’sPost, 20 March).Wynberg Main Road is starting to look

like a scene from a really bad movie, withprostitutes and drug dealers virtually onevery corner and not at all bothered to hidetheir activities in broad daylight.When Grand Central was built, I thought

itwoulduplift the area, but it has done exact-ly the opposite and this area is busy decay-ing fast. At night when driving down thissection of the Main Road one feels like a for-eigner in your own country. The govern-ment made a huge error regarding the un-checked influx of foreigners/ refugees andallowing this problem to escalate.Everyone knows drugs are the biggest

curse ever; not only do they destroy the livesof the users but also the lives of their fami-lies and disruption of communities.Drugs are one of the main contributors to

rise in crimes such as robbery and housebreak-ins.The solution can be a simple one – change

the legislation when dealing (with) the drugproblem. Cut out the red tape of the policehaving to obtain a search warrant to searchsuspected premises or a person.Institute a minimum sentence for drug

possession of five years straight, even for afirst-time offender; depending on theamount of drugs they are caught with, thesentence could be harsher.Repeat offenders (should) get 10 years (or

more). Lets have a “gloves off” approachnow. There’s a building in the Cape TownCentral Business District called SenatorPark that was taken over by drug lords andprostitutes that went to absolute ruin beforeit was cleared out and has now been re-stored.Hopefully Grand Central will not gothe same way.

MFC chairperson Reza Ebrahim re-sponds:The article represented the commit-tee and myself as aggressive and confronta-tional. This is an inaccurate representationof the role we play, and our sentiment in thematter concerned here. There has neverbeen an antagonistic relationship betweenourselves and residents; the relationshipshave always been cooperative, and we don’tintend to have this any other way.Themanner in which the article was writ-

ten, would provoke a response as receivedfrom the relevant resident.Please note your misquotes as follows:“Thecommittee says the field,which is sit-

uated next to the Meadowridge Common,needs to be demarcated and should be con-sidered private land.”At no point during any of our conversa-

tions did we mention “private land”.The facility is City property and this is

what was conveyed by us, thus the involve-ment of the City in all our discussions.I have no further comment on this matter.

People’s Post journalist Monique Duvalresponds:Ebrahim and the committee havenot been misquoted in the article.During the meeting Sean Drummond of

the Meadowridge Football Club said therewas a misconception that the sports fieldwas part of the common and the field neededto be demarcated. I asked himafter themeet-ing if I could quote him on his commentsmade in the meeting and he said I could goahead.InmydiscussionwithEbrahim, he clearly

said due to the leaseswith theCity, the fieldsshould be regarded as private property. Iconcede he did not use the word land, butby definition it has the same meaning.The quotation is fundamentally true as it

summarised the comments of two people onthe committee.

People’s Post requested a response fromGrand Central building management firmLeisure Group on Monday 24 March, butnone was received at the time of going toprint. – News Ed.

Your SMSesCellphone mast in Constantia

. A cell mast is sorely needed, as we havevery bad reception. Belle, Constantia

. “No” to the cellmast.Not only dowe livedown the road, but our kids are at Sweet Val-ley Primary. Where does Esmari Borchardtlive?

. Dear Esmari Borchardt: I find your con-cern for your flock’s weak cellphone recep-tion endearing. Exactly how much is Voda-com going to pay your church? Shelley

.We support the mast; we’ve been livinghere for 18 years.Walter andDawn, Kreupel-bosch

. It is the old story once again: a group ofeccentrics trying to hijack the legal rightsof citizens who do not share their views.Who cares if they will sell their houses? Wewant a decent cellphone signal for our safetyand convenience. If cellphones were as dan-gerous as they allege they would not exist.

. This is all about the “haves” and the“have nots”. There are cellphone masts eve-rywhere and they are not dangerous.

. To the people who protested about themast: I ask you, for how long do you intendnot to use a cellphone or make use of the in-ternet? The school you mention surely hasinternet and every second child owns a cell-phone. You cannot move away fromprogress. It is waiting for you in the nextsuburb you intend to move to. Victor

. A cellphonemast is long overdue in thisarea of virtually no reception. Well done tothe church for going ahead. Radiation fromthe proposed mast is far less to neighboursthan their proximity to their own micro-wave ovens.

. The most concerning point is that thechurch is about 200m from Sweet Valley Pri-mary School, so it doesn’t just affect neigh-bouring residences, it is also about thehealth of young children. Steve, Bergvliet

. I believe any mast closer than 300-500mof people or homes, must be a minimum of15m above the height of the people or homesaround it, and a minimum of 5m above any-

thing directly below it, as the main energyof the EM radiation from the mast is radiat-ed at an angle from the transmitter.We havea transmitter about 8m higher than my flatand about 25m away from the corner of ourblock, on top of a “sister” block sharing ourproperty and it affects our TVs and wirelessheadphones excessively. A worryingnumber of people on the top two floors haveeither died or suffer from cancer since thetransmitter was installed. Many get head-aches and have other problems. Why shouldwe all have to live in fear, when they couldjust be a bit more caring by putting thesetransmitters on very high masts? Marc,Plumstead

. The cell mast would benefit the wholearea. (The) objectors (are) very selfish! Theirattitude (is) not helpful.

. The cell mast (is) needed for “dead” are-as. (The) objectors (are) only thinking ofthemselves.

.We need (the) signal, so where can wehave the mast?

. The mast is needed for internet signalfor this area.

. NGK, your bad cell mast idea has costyou a tenant. The Southern Right Church ismoving.

Crime in Wynberg.Why don’t the police target those whobuy the stolen goods; maybe the break-inswill stop if nobody buys.

. I was born and bred in Wynberg; I’m 70years old. Before, Wynberg was a haven;now it’s like a township with drug dealers,prostitutes, gangsters and brothels. Let’sface it. Take a late night drive down MainRoad. Don’t bother yourself too much. Re-garding the police: do they ever make anyarrests? (What is the) councillor doing? Getreal – Wynberg has deteriorated. (I) wishWynberg luck (if) there is no change.

Taxi route over Ou Kaapse Weg.We need (a) new route. Ambrose. (It is a) nice idea; I am just very con-cerned about the taxi-related accidents thatwill happen on an already dangerous road.

. I’m glad to see attention is focused onpublic transport. It’s not just Masiphumele-le and Ocean View residents (who) are cutoff when they reside in (the Far South). Wecan’t go toWestlake or Tokai to find employ-ment, as there are no trains or buses.

. Opening a new taxi route fromMasiphumelele to Westlake is a wonderfulidea as it may alleviate some of the pressureon Metrorail as well. Charmaine

. Do you want to put taxis on a mountainpass with children? Please think again.Anonymous

. Adefinite “no”to taxis. There is abus service at 06:30and 18:30 – ratherincrease this to an-other one at 07:30and 17:30. (It’s) saf-er, (has a) biggercapacity and (is)cheaper.

. This new routeis going to increaseaccidents and therisk to other mo-torists.

. Upgradingroads costs thou-sands of rands perkilometre – surelyobtaining a bus forthe 76 childrenwho have to makethe commute overOu Kaapsewegmakes (more)sense? Traffic is al-ready a problem;adding taxis to themix sounds coun-ter productive. Eu-gene

. Taxis are al-ready so danger-ous along Kom-metjie and Noord-hoek roads, nowyou want to send

Beach break for Biddlecomb pairLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A father and son duohave plans to carvetheir way throughthe opposition whenthey articipate in theSouth African Long-board Surfing Asso-ciation NationalChampionships laterthis month.Plumstead resi-

dents Bobby (44) andJoshua (12) Biddle-combe were both se-lected to representthe Southern CapeLongboarding Asso-ciation after im-pressing in trials atBig Bay in March.Bobby will be par-

ticipating in themas-ters category, whilehis son will competein the under-14 divi-sion.Although the Bid-

dlecombes will becompeting in one ofthe oldest and young-est divisions, Bobbysays they will be go-ing for gold.“It’s always social when you get to my age

group, but when you’re paddling out in yourheat it’s a dog-eat-dog war out there,” hesays.“There are no niceties in it – you have to

catch four waves with two scores to count,so it’s highly competitive. We don’t go therejust to give it a bash. I’m trying to get Joshto see the competitive side to it, because hevery relaxed; he is competitive but he justneeds a spark to ignite him.”Although they are from Cape Town, the

Biddlecombes chose to represent the South-ern Cape due to a family connection.Bobby has been surfing since the age 13,

while Joshua took up the sport recently.The Wescott Primary School pupil has

quickly become addicted to the sport and be-lieves he could soon eclipse his father as thebest surfer in the family.“When I’m on bigwaves it gets very scary,

but on the small waves I overtake my fa-ther,” he says.“I love surfing because I like being in the

water and the way I feel when I surf; I feel

relaxed.”Joshua also excels at volleyball and repre-

sented the Western Province under-13 sidelast year.He says he is looking forward to having

his father cheer him on as he pushes for amedal at the tournament.“When I found out, I was very excited be-

cause I have never been in a competition ex-cept when competed in a school competi-tion,” Joshua says.“I am a bit nervous ahead of the national

championships, because I don’t know thecompetition and I have never surfed in thearea before. I feel confident, but not asmuchbecause I’m not that fit.”The duo have started working on their fit-

ness aheadof the tournament, startinganewexercise regiment which includes crunches,push ups and jogging, as well as surfing atleast three times a week.The South African Longboard Champion-

ships with take place at Seal Point in CapeSt Francis from Sunday 27 April to Sunday4 May.

Sea Point swimmer conquers Arctic watersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A determined Sea Point swimmer recentlyproved that the Arctic Circle’s frozen waterswere no match for her.

Cecilia Schutte took part in the WinterSwimming World Championships in Rov-aniemi, Finland late last month and re-turned with a silver medal despite facingseveral challenges.

“I didn’t expect to get a medal because Ihad a shoulder injury, which was not relatedto swimming, and have only been trainingfor two months. I wasn’t fully prepared,” shesays.

“I was very chuffed because I wasn’t ex-pecting it at all; it was a bonus.”

Schutte is an experienced marathon andice swimmer, with several records underher belt. She qualified for the World Champi-onships based on her previous accolades.

She started ice swimming at the Speedo

Ice Swim in Fraserburg in 2011 and becamethe first woman inducted to the Internation-al Ice Swimming Association.

Schutte set two records last year when shebecame the first woman to swim aroundRobben Island twice and the first person toswim around the island three times.

She also holds the record for swimming anice mile at high altitude, after diving into mi-nus 2°C water above 3000m at Lesotho’s Afri-Ski resort.

Her experience meant that the freezing-1.5°C water was not the toughest part of therace.

“You know you are going to feel pain whenyou’re doing extreme cold water swimming;it’s very much a mind thing. Your mindneeds to tell your body it’s okay,” she says.

“But 450m was a new distance for me. Asa marathon swimmer, you have time to getinto your rhythm. In the 450m you just getin and it’s over; it was very intense so Icouldn’t get into my rhythm.”

The World Championships took place ina river. Two days later Schutte completedanother ice swim, covering almost 1.8km inanother part of the Arctic Circle in Norway.

Schutte uses most of her swims to raiseawareness and funds for projects at chari-ties and underprivileged schools.

She regards it is her duty to use her abili-ties for a good cause.

“When you dedicate yourself on a course– like in life – you can’t just give up,” shesays.

“It challenges me; the current, weatherand cold water is symbolic of the challengeswe face in life. When you face challenges inlife, you can’t just give up. I want to inspirepeople to break through their own challeng-es. When I do talks at schools, it’s inspira-tional to see a child come up to me and saythey can overcome a obstacle at home be-cause of what I have done.”

Schutte also works as a motivationalspeaker and community worker.

Hammies close in on quartersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Hamiltons RFC are a single victoryaway from securing an easier routeto the final of the Community Cup.

The Green Point side have notched upcomprehensive victories in their threeGroup D games thus far and will seal firstplace with another victory against Rusten-berg Impala (Leopards) on Saturday.

The two sides are currently tied on 15points each, with Hamiltons leading thestandings thanks to their greater pointsdifference. The eventual group winnerwill face the runners-up in Group C, whilethe second-placed side will face the win-ners of the group.

Hamiltons coach Anton Moolman saysvictory is important, but for a completelydifferent reason. “It’s important that wekeep on winning from a confidence per-spective and for the self-believe of the play-ers,” he says.

“You want them to carry on believing inwhat you are trying to achieve. For me, themost important thing is not who we facein the next round, but about being the bestwe can be. If we continue doing what wehave been doing the results will come.”

Hammies kicked off their inauguralCommunity Cup campaign with a hefty48-9 win over Sishen (Griquas) on Saturday15 March in Green Point, scoring seventries, five conversions and a penalty. Theyconceded just three penalties.

South Africa’s oldest rugby club securedan equally impressive win in their next fix-ture against Wesbank (Boland) in Malmes-bury on Saturday 22 March.

Hamiltons ran in seven tries, convertedtwice and goaled a penalty, while conced-ing just a converted try and a penalty towin 41-12.

The most recent fixture was Hamiltons’most impressive. They scored 10 tries andeight conversions, while conceding twotries and a conversion, to beat Shumba Fer-ros (Pumas) 66-12 at the Stephen Oval inGreen Point.

Moolman says his side will be looking totreat the fixture against Impala like anyother, despite the high stakes.

“Impala were the top seed in the group

before the tournament; both (teams) haveall to play for to secure a easier route inthe draw. But we are just going to go thereand do what we do to carry on progress-ing,” he says.

“It’s all about ensuring we hit our strapsby Easter Weekend, when the knockoutrounds start. We will look to just take itgame by game from here.”

Roses United (Boland) currently leadGroup C on 13 points while Centurion(Bulls) hold second on 12 points.

The Boland side can seal first place witha bonus point victory against Noordelikes(Limpopo).

Centurion will be looking to claim fivepoints against Brakpan (Falcons), if theRoses slip up.
