KENWYN: PEDDLERS USING SKATEBOARDS TO CONVEY CONTRABAND

Drug dealers on the moveCARLO PETERSEN

Drug dealers are using skateboards to dotheir dirty business in Kenwyn.

Distressed locals say they have wit-nessed “suspicious skateboarders” sellingdrugs to school children.

And with the increase in drug addictscomes a rise in petty crime, homeowners ar-gue.

YOUTH: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Fostering a safe haven to call homeCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A loving and caring environment is alla child really needs. But notmany chil-dren are afforded this opportunity as

they fall through the cracks of abuse, neglector poverty.Home from Home, a Cape Town-based or-

ganisation, aims to remedy this situation bycreating and placing vulnerable children in-to homes of loving foster parents.Pippa Shaper, co-founder of the non-profit

organisation, says: “Home from Home pro-vides supportive and supervised communi-ty-based foster care for orphaned, abused,neglected and vulnerable children througha network of small, family homes in disad-vantaged communities in the country.“We believe that living in a small family

unit with dedicated foster parents with nomore than six children, is the best place forchildren who can’t be cared for by their ownfamilies.”The organisation has 33 foster homes

across theprovince andplans to extend theirreach.“These are normal families in a normal

home where the child will get sent to fosterparents who can nurture them and providethe loving environment every child needs,”says Shaper.Currently 200 children are part of the pro-

gramme.“We provide and offer all the support the

foster parents may need, including socialwork services.”Shaper says the aim of the organisation is

to provide an alternative home of care toshelter the child from previous abuse andneglect.“The children get placedwithus after they

are referred from a children’s court,” shesays.All parents are screened and background

checks are done as well as training offeredto ensure they can provide a better living en-vironment for the foster children.“If we receive siblings through the chil-

dren’s court, we always place them togetherto maintain the biological family connec-tion,” Shaper says.Everymother receives a grant to help cov-

er the financial costs to look after each child.“As far as possible we ensure there is a

mixture of ages and sexes of children withinthe home, thereby creating as close to ‘nor-mal’ a family environment as possible for allfoster children.”Foster mother Emily Kiel from Ocean

Viewsays: “I enjoyworkingwithyoung chil-dren and had the opportunity to apply for afull-time job that allowed me to live out thisvocation.”With six foster children in her care for

more than one year, Kiel has nurtured themas her own since they were placed into hercare by social services.“Caring for six children is a full-time job.

This was an adjustment in and of itself.(Whether they are a) biological or fosterchild, they require the same love, care andsupport.”Kiel’s biological children are all grown-up

and have since moved out. She is, therefore,able to giveundivided attention to the charg-es in her care.“Watching the children in my care grow

and blossom is particularly rewarding. I sitwith them every day to assist with theirhomework and support them through thechallenges of school life.“At the end of the term or the end of the

school year, when this hard work pays off

with excellent results, (it) is definitely causefor celebration,” she says.Beauty Sqalane fromMasiphumelele is al-

so a foster mother.While unable to have children of her own,

Sqalane says: “I have so much love in myheart for children. Being a fostermother hasgiven me the chance to share this love.”Sqalane says: “This is an opportunity to

share my love with children who, before liv-ing in foster care, have had very difficultlives. The relationships I have formed witheachofmychildren is something that is veryspecial.”Sqalane has been a fostermother formore

than two years.Home from Home has a specific strategy

and approach to follow when setting up anew foster home. Through this approachtheyareable to ensure that there is adefiniteneed in the community for each foster home,that the home is empowered through com-munity groups which support the project,that the home is fully equipped and that fos-ter parents are constantly supported and su-pervised by Home from Home to ensure thechildren receive the best possible care.All foster parents have the opportunity to

network with each other so they may sharetheir experiences, learn from one anotherand share the responsibility of raising theirfoster children.V Donations for Home from Home can be madethrough direct deposits to Home from Home Trust,Nedbank South Africa, branch code 101 109, accountnumber 101 110 9700.

Manenberg schools to remain on safety radarThe City of Cape Town’s law enforcement of-ficers will continue to do daily checks atManenberg schools.

For the past few months, Metro Policejoined police in the Safer Schools pro-gramme, which saw security deployed atfive schools located in the heart of the gang-infested area.

Bullets flew in close proximity to theschools last month as a turf war raged be-tween the Hard Livings and Americans.

The provincial education department wascompelled to increase security at Edendale,Red River, Sonderend and Rio Grande pri-mary schools after a Western Cape HighCourt ruling.

Security was also needed at SilverstreamSecondaryafter a 17-year-old former pupilwas stabbed in the back in February.

Manenberg police spokesperson Ian Ben-nett says the Safer Schools programme hasmanaged to bring gang violence in the vicin-

ity of the five local schools under control.The programme was initially organised to

run until Friday 28 March.But safety and security mayco member JP

Smith says Metro Police will continue to pa-

trol the schools in the new term which start-edonMonday. “Wewill evaluatewhetherweneed to retain our intensified presence.”

Since January, Metro Police have been de-ployed to the area with Operation Punch.

LANSDOWNE: MIXED REACTION TO REGISTERED TROLLEYS

Scrap brigade toe the lineCARLO PETERSEN

@carlo_petersen

Lansdowne scrap collectors could soonhave their very own registered trol-leys.

Police recently started confiscating trol-leys which were being stolen from super-markets.

However, police say the move promptedscrap collectors to start pilfering residents’wheelie bins, which has left many localsseething.

Lansdowne police spokesperson Ser-geant Nkululeko Mnyaka says up to eightbins get reported stolen every week.

“It’s a big concern because those bins arenow being used to transport stolen goods

too,” he says.After raising the concern at a civic asso-

ciation meeting recently, vice-chairpersonKeith Blake made a plea to get scrap collec-tors in the area sponsored trolleys.

“I pleaded for donations so that we canbuy trolleys and give them to unemployedvagrants to abate unemployment with ameasure of control,” he says.

An anonymous businessman has sincecome forward and offered to buy trolleysfor scrap collectors in the area.

“We will have a trial run first withmarked trolleys; the first one is nr.0001which I have given to Freedom Park Infor-mal Settlement resident Karriem Samuels.

“I gave him a letter of ownership and wehave an oral agreement that if he goes off

the legal rails the trolley comes back tome,” Blake says.

“I know Karriem for many years butwhen I handed him that green trolley therewas this smile so big that I knew I did theright thing.” Blake says if the trial run issuccessful more trolleys will be bought andgiven to vagrants in the area.

The proposed initiative has stirredmixed feelings in the Lansdowne commu-nity.

Harvard Drive resident Ebrahim Lakayis totally against the idea. “I don’t agreewith it because it could cause more crime.The guys who push those trolleys are oftenthe ones who break into our homes andsteal from our yards,” he says.

Lakay says he recently came home to

find a ‘scrap collector’ on his property.“He said he was looking for scrap, but he

was walking around my house, so whoknows what he was up to,” he adds.

Church Street homeowner Cecil Dreyerfeels the same. “No man! You cannot en-courage these guys to operate here in thearea. It just brings a bad element. You’regiving them a means to commit crime,” hesays.

Another local, Dawn Felix, says it couldbe a good idea.

“I think it could work, but you cannotjust go around handing out trolleys to eve-ry Tom, Dick and Harry,” she says.

“Give the trolleys to good people andkeep it controlled and monitored and I’msure there won’t be any problems.”

In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the City’s Solid WasteManagement Department has printed the letters ‘CCT SWM’ followed by a serial numberin black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can berecognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the Citycontinues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as wellas in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refusebags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with otherbags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste ManagementDepartment’s Cleansing Branch.

Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the City’s SolidWasteManagement branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail [email protected].

If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumpingand dealt with accordingly.

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line withmaintaining a well-run city.

ABUSE: CHILDREN SPEAK OUT

Breaking the silenceDESIREÉ RORKE

@dezzierorkje

After a lifetime of abu-se, three brave yo-ung people broke the

silence on abuse andmadea daring stand againsttheir abuser.Not only did siblings Te-

ri-Ann and Kailee Robin-son and Jason Roberts em-power themselves withtheir Facebook Page KidsAgainst Abuse - Exposé,but they provided a plat-form for others in the sa-me situation to do the sa-me.In essence, this Face-

book page, started eightmonths ago, is a forum forteenagers created by teen-agers, to speak out againstabuse and domestic vio-lence in their homes.The siblings decided to go public with

their own abuse after realising the despera-te plight of so many of their peers at theirschool, Stellenberg High School.“After we started talking about our own

circumstances, a floodgate of other, similarstories reached our ears,” says Kailee“Somany other kids in our school toldme

that they don’t know whom to turn to orspeak to about abusive situations at homeor elsewhere, which gave us the idea,” addsTeri-Ann (18).A post on their page perhaps describes

their objective best.“Our intention was to speak out and tell

all as all the years we were shut down andwe needed to tell our side (of the story)…we still live the horrors. Furthermore, oursituation ismeant to assist anyone and helpis given privately or people are referred ifneeded… The idea is also to empower our-selves and others, to heal our trampled livesas best as we can. Abuse is a crime – allforms of abuse are crime. It is evil behavi-our by criminals targeting soft targets. The-re is no excuse for abuse! Stand up for yourrights. We are not victims we are survi-vors..”Their personal ordeal has been endless.“Since we can remember it has always

been the same. He has abused us and ourmom verbally, emotionally, physically andeven financially,” says Kailee (16).“I cannot remember the amount of times

I have wiped the spit of my mother’s face,or the amount of times that we had to listento his threats, often financial, which hasprevented my mother from leaving him forthe longest time, ” adds Terri-Ann.Older brother Jason, now 22, often took

thebrunt of theabuse,with several physicalattacks.Due to their abuser’s financial reckles-

sness the familywas forced tomove 17 timesin 19 years and are currently again looking

for accommodation.In a recent documentary, Kailee produ-

ced for the website, she quotes what shecalls “The Famous Lines” of the abuser.“Keep on doing that, and just watch and

see what I do!”; “I do what I want, when Iwant and no one can stop me!”; “Get out ofmyway, I’m gonna hurt you!”, are just a fewof the wounding slurs thrown their wayover the years.“Apart from never having stability, the

abuse has left us afraid and without confi-dence formost of our lives.Nobody can ima-gine the hurt and pain we’ve suffered. Thisis the first time thatwe have spoken out andit feels good.”In themeantime, after having to navigate

their way through a maze of red tape, thesiblings obtained an interdict against theirabuser, but still question the system.“Hehas been ordered not to comenear us,

yet he is still in possession of a copy of ourhouse keys, which up until now he has notreturned back or handed in at a police stati-on, despite legal proceedings, leaving us inconstant fear,” says Kailee.What’s more, their abuser following the

above mentioned interdict, obtained a gag-ging order against the children, preventingthem fromwriting about him on their Face-book page.“We find it strange that the same court

that is suppose to protect us against ourabuser, are now prohibiting us from expo-sing him. There are several criminal char-ges of assault pending against him and heis out on bail. Nothing stops him from har-ming us and yet we have been gagged fromdoing what empowers us,” says Kailee.In many ways the siblings view their

Facebook page as a means of protection.“Starting this page, has given us new ho-

pe. It makes us feel like we have done some-thing good with the horrific circumstancesdealt to us,” says Terri-Ann.

Broadcast: settlement reachedAfter 16 years of litigation, a settlementhas been reached between the South Af-ricanJewishBoard ofDeputies andMus-lim community radio station Radio 786.The Board took legal action after a

broadcast by the station, owned by theIslamic Unity Convention (IUC), whichaired views by historian Dr Yakub Zakion the subject of Israel and its founding.This programme was broadcast dur-

ing the 50th anniversary of the creationof the Zionist state of Israel.According to the Board, the pro-

gramme featured “extensive anti-Jew-ish, recycled conspiracy fantasies andHolocaust denial” and they lodgeda com-plaint against the station with the Inde-pendent Broadcasting Authority con-tending that the programme amountedto hate-speech.“Antisemitic claims made in the

broadcast were that Jewish people werethe secret, conspiratorial engine behindcatastrophic world events such as theFirst and Second World War, and Com-

munist revolutions; that they stole natu-ral resources from countries such asSouth Africa; controlled world bankingfor their own benefit; and invented theHolocaust to invoke sympathy to, amongothers, facilitate the creation of the Stateof Israel,” the Board said in a statement.Radio 786 consistently argued it could

not be held liable for the views of guests.A hearingwas held inDecember 2012 un-der Icasa’s Complaints and ComplianceCommittee and onMonday 31March theconvention issued a statement which“recognised that the material aired onRadio 786 could be viewed as antisemiticand nonsensical”, the Board stated.Under the terms of the settlement, Ra-

dio 786 acknowledges that while itsbroadcast may have caused “offence anddistress tomembers of the SouthAfricanJewish community”, the radio station inno way ever intended such a result, andthe parties agree to move on from thisepisode, says IUC secretary Ali Chick-tay.

Getting from point A to point BOver 1 000km of City of Cape Town’s side-walks have been assessed to determine if thetransport system is user-friendly for disa-bled commuters.The City embarked on a universal access

audit inFebruary to evaluate theaccessibili-ty of transport routes for disabled commut-ers.The audit is the first project of its kind and

scale inSouthAfrica, says theMayoralCom-mittee member for Transport, Brett Herron.So far, the audit teamshave recordedmore

than 11 000 barriers such as litter bins, lampposts and bollards restricting access to peo-ple with disabilities.To date, public transport interchanges at

the CBD’s Plein Street, the Cape Town Sta-tion, Durbanville, the Athlone/Lansdowneroute in Hannover Park and Retreat stationhave been assessed. The audit has also eval-uated the CBD in Bellville, Cape Town, Dur-banville, Goodwood, Parow, Simon’s Townand Wynberg, as well as main roads whichcommuters use to travel to work.

Cyber terrorism on the riseMost businesses are run on computers.But using the internet to access emails,surf the internet and interact on socialmedia sites carries the threat of attacksfrom malicious programmes and viruses.Ransomware is a new form ofmalicious

software cyber criminals are using to lite-rally hold your computer to ransom, de-manding payment for the safe return ofyour information, explains Roberto Ca-prio, MD of Dial-a-Nerd.Currently the most dangerous ransom-

ware programme is CryptoLocker.

InfectionCryptoLocker focuses on all versions of

Windows, including XP, Vista, Windows7 and 8.The easiest way for this programme to

reach an extensive number of people veryquickly, is via email spam.The infection is typically spread

through emails pretending to be work-re-lated issues such as delivery requests orpayment details sent to company emailaddresses. The email contains an .EXE at-tachment, disguised as a PDF file“PDF.EXE”, that when opened infects thecomputer, Caprio continues.Newer attacks seem to be via Facebook

HPV vaccination gains tractionParents across the Western Cape gavegiven their permission for the vaccina-tion of their Grade 4 daughters.According to the provincial health de-

partment, 56% of parents of girls inGrade 4 have given the department con-sent to give their daughters the HumanPapilomavirus (HPV) vaccination.HPV is an easily contracted virus and

is responsible for up to 80% of cervicalcancers. Cervarix is a vaccine that pre-vents the development of HPV-relatedcervical cancer as it stops the infectionfrom developing.Provincial health minister Theuns

Botha says: “The statistics show toomany of our young women die of cervi-cal cancer. Here we have a vaccinationto combat this disease. I encourage allparents and caregivers of young girls toinform and educate themselves aboutthe vaccine and the campaign.”But there has also been resistance to

the vaccinations as many parents havenot returned the consent forms.In addition there are a number of anti-

vaccine literatures have been posted onsocial media sites. According to the de-partment, 20 000 girls in governmentschools have been vaccinated.

The men in blue are not horsing aroundwhen it comes to curbing crime.A desperate plea from the distraught

Greenhaven community for police presencehas been answered.Manenberg police confirm crime levels

had been soaring in the area, leaving manyhomeowners distressed.But with most of their resources on duty

in Manenberg, police had to make an alter-nate plan.At a recent community police forum

meeting, resident Rukayah Sadan appealedto Manenberg Police Station CommanderBrigadier Andre van Dyk for help.“We are lucky not to have shootouts in

our area, but crime seems to be on the rise,”she says.In response, Van Dyk requested the help

of the provincial police’s Equestrian Unit,which sees trained police officers conducthorseback patrols in the precinct.Sadan says the increase in visible polic-

ing hasmade a difference. “The unit patrolshere regularly and we do feel much safer asthere has been a drop in crime. I would liketo thank Brigadier Van Dyk for taking ourrequest seriously,” she says.VanDyk says the crime levels in both are-

as has stabilised.“We did not have enough resources to go

to Greenhaven because of the gang wars inSector One (Manenberg). But things havecalmeddownnow,whichwillmake it easierfor us to go into Greenhaven.”

The station commander also lauded thecommunity for the work they do to preventcrime. “They have a group on WhatsAppwhich is very active. I’m also amember andthey are always in contact with each otherif anything suspicious happens. They mustbe complemented,” he says.Greenhaven homeowner Declan Juries

feelsmuch safer since seeing the equestrianunit trotting through the area.“It’s brilliant of the police to come here

on horses. It’s a good way to bring crimedown,” he says.Greenhaven Residents’ Association

chairperson Abdurahman Govind says heis pleasedwith the effort the police aremak-ing in the community. “The incidence ofcrime has definitely decreased since therehas been more visible policing,” he agrees.

By internet standards it’s an oldmeme, but extremely ap-propriate in this instance.Keep Calm and smell the roses.Yes, easier said than done, in all honesty.We need to learn to unplug. Destress. Be kind to our-

selves. Learn to let go, even if for a little while.Our nation is in a super-frantic state, the anxiety about

our political future is turning ordinary citizens into surlymalcontents.Political bickering and back-stabbing and the propa-

ganda does take a toll on our weary bodies and minds.Granted, the report about Nkandla is distressing news.Yes, Jacob Zuma’s response to the report is dismaying.True, political defections do trigger an alarm.But equally important to note is that these things can-

not be solved overnight.So instead of wringing our hands in confounding knots

and frothing at the mouth, why not invest in yourself.Take a walk about your neighbourhood.Visit an aunt living several streets away. She’d marvel

at the spontaneity and generosity of the gesture.Start that project you’ve been delaying for months, if

not years.If you wish to direct your energy elsewhere, why not

volunteer your time at the library?Even better, rouse a few neighbours and clean a prob-

lem plot in your area.The gist is to exhale, do something meaningful and –

hopefully – fun.As sure as the sun rises in the east, our problems will

still be there when we plug back in to the South Africanpolitical arena.Barring a massive ecological catastrophe, Wednesday

7 May is a sure thing.So, be kind to yourself as, in turn, you are being kind

to others.

Teen pregnancies: cultural issueReligion, philosophy, science and material-ism play itself out on the streets of CapeTown every day. In Jewish, Christian and Is-lamic mysticism the primordial idea thatyou cannot know God without knowingyourself and vice versa continues to impacton our immediate reality.Since 8% of all babies are born to girls un-

der 18 years, (it) places teen pregnancy sta-tistics beyond the customary prerogative ofreligion and morality. The 80 000 babiesborn every year to teenagers unable to man-age the obligation, is a growing anda seriousnational financial and social problem.The statistic places an added burden on

ratepayers and taxpayers that will carry onformany years. The increasing statistic sug-gest municipalities responsible for clinicswill, in time, buckle under the strain. SinceSouth African law allows children as youngas 12 years old to use contraceptiveswithoutthe permission of their parents, stoppingteenage pregnancies is in our collective na-tional interest.It is evident that the education paid for by

the taxpayer and the religious and cultural

processes sustained by countless communi-ties has failed to educate the 80 000 pregnantteens. Within all communities the ritual ofmarriage exists.In Deuteronomy 23:2 it is written that “No

one born of a forbidden unionmay enter theassembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth gen-eration, none of his descendants may enterthe assembly of the Lord.”In Islam children born out of wedlock are

not permitted to lead congregational prayeror inherit.In the next 10 years our society will have

a million babies born to teens. What valuesis societyprojectingontopregnant teens andwhat sustainable outcomes will we generatefor future generations. Since teenpregnancyis not newand remainsunresolved,will teenpregnancies eventually become part of ourcultural morality?As a society burdened with endless wel-

fare needs, should we feel sympathetic to-wards pregnant teenagers or should a toughlove approach be more useful?YAGYAH ADAMS,Email

Townships are killing fieldsThe increasing number of deaths of inno-cent people as a result of crossfire gang vio-lence has turned the Cape Flats into danger-ous killing fields for ruthless gangsters des-perate for territory.The desperate cry for help by township

residents for the past five years has fallenon the deaf years of politicians and lawmak-ers, who have chosen to bury their heads inthe sand, and hoped things will get better ontheir own.The politicians have become totally indif-

ferent to the very legitimate cries of the com-munity, who have been held hostage in theirhomes by these gangsters.Our police force is totally ill-equipped,

grossly understaffed and terribly demoral-ised to deal with the open gang warfare inour townships, where the situation hasreached a state of total anarchy.How else can one describe the situation

when children as young as nine years oldbrazenly display their guns with bravado,ready tokill likeminiatureRambos,without

showing any remorse for their victims?After 20 years of freedom, we have failed,

dismally, to keep ordinary citizens safe,which is their constitutional right, and ourpresident dares to say that we live in amuchbetter place. Not every home has the securi-ty measures provided at Nkandla. In thetownships, people are killed and robbed inbroad daylight in front of their homes andtheir poor families are left totally destitutewhen the person killed is the breadwinner.Marches, prayers and community police

forum meetings have done little to controlthe problem.Here are suggestions to tackle the prob-

lem: bring in the army to stop the anarchyin our townships; reintroduce the gang unit;(stop)) promoting children who repeatedlyfail, because they drop out of school out offrustration; children with learning disor-ders should be compelled to attend a skillschool; and teenage girls on drugs should beon contraceptives.DR EV RAPITI, EMAIL

Business burglaries increaseTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Vagrants are being fingered for aspate of business burglaries in Lin-coln Estate.

Shop owners say they are forced to findtheir way through a maze of sleeping peo-ple on their doorsteps every morning, andare demanding that the City of CapeTown’s Displaced People’s Unit step inand help the homeless get off the street.

Lansdowne police spokesperson Ser-geant Nkululeko Mnyaka confirms thestation frequently receives complaintsfrom business owners asking them to as-sist with the removal of suspicious char-acters sleeping in front of their premisesafter dark.

“While vagrancy is not a policing issue,the increase of business robberies in andaround Mountview is,” he says. “Regularpatrols around hotspots such as BellmoreAvenue and Repulse Road are being fo-cused on to discourage opportunists.”

While not all of the vagrants who crawlunder their covers in front of the shopsare criminals, Lansdowne CommunityPolicing Forum chairperson Thetha Sit-hole says there is a “definite link” be-tween vagrancy and business robberies.“These opportunistic crimes take place inthe early hours of the morning,” he says.“Most of the individuals sleeping in frontof the stores are gone in the morning andnone are seen during the day.”

Lincoln Estate Neighbourhood Watchspokesperson Fred Norman says some oftheir community crime fighters refuse topatrol this area as they believe the busi-nesses should invest in their own securityto eradicate the problem. Norman, who isalso the chairperson of the local civic as-sociation, says residents are appealing toprovide alternative accommodation or so-

cial development intervention to alleviatevagrancy and loitering in the neighbour-hood.

“Removing them while sleeping in frontof the store is only a temporary solution.We need to get them off the street and pro-vide them with work for it to be a longterm solution,” he says.

Business owner Rashied Amien says heis fed up of “having to clean up after some-one else”. “Even if the people sleeping infront of the store is gone in the morningI still have to clean up the papers, dirt andfaeces left in front of my store. It is not in-viting for customers to enter. There issuch a mess and my doorstep reeks ofurine,” he says.

“I have compassion for people’s circum-stances but I am a business owner and mystore provides for my family. If businessisn’t good, I don’t have enough money topay the bills.”

Businessman Mohamed Cassiem sayshe has forked out R3 000 since the begin-ning of the year to increase security at hisstore. “I had to add burglar bars and fixmy alarm to make sure my property is se-cure. I have had two break-ins this yearalready and although they didn’t get awaywith much, I had to replace windows. Itall costs money,” he says. “I think the va-grancy has played a role in the number ofbreak-ins. Even if it is not just them whoare committing the crimes, their presenceis inviting elements into the area. It is alsoa safety risk for them because they can al-so be targeted.”

Cassiem says two homeless people whohe has come to know were also recentlybeaten and robbed.

Social development mayco member Su-zette Little advises business owners tolodge a formal complaint with council. “Iwill then get Law Enforcement to removethemand refer them to shelters,” she says.

CRIME: MOTORBIKES NOW USED TO SPREAD DRUG EVIL

TThehe trtransportansportersersTARREN-LEE HABEL-GAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Drug and gun run-ners have adopteda new mode of

transport.An increase in motor-

bikes being used tomove contraband inManenberg has policestruggling to apprehendcriminals speeding offon two-wheelers.

And catching sus-pects are a mission asthe bikes – unlike a po-lice van – easily slipthough the narrowwalkways separatingthe streets, Manenbergpolice spokespersonLieutenant Ian Bennettsays. “It is much easierfor a motorbike to driveinbetween the flats thanit is for a car. Criminalssee it as an easy geta-way. But we will be com-ing down harshly on an-yone caught transport-ing illegal guns anddrugs,” he warns.

In a recent operation focusing on motor-cycles and scooters, Law Enforcement offic-ers issued 16 fines for unlicensed vehiclesand traffic transgressions.

Mayoral Committee member for Safetyand Security JP Smith says the operationwas held in response to numerous tip-offsreceived from residents about drug dealersand gangs using this mode of transport foran easy escape.

During the operation, officers also arrest-ed two people for using scooters with fraud-ulent number plates.

“We are committed to tackling gangster-ism and drugs in our communities, usingany and all means necessary within theconfines of our mandate,” he says.

“But the City of Cape Town can only doso much. We need the public’s cooperationin order to be truly successful. Creating saf-er communities is a shared responsibilityand we’ve seen the successes we are able toachieve when communities share informa-tion with us. If more people come on board,we can achieve even more.”

Anelderly resident,who spoke toPeople’sPostonconditionof anonymity, saysmotor-cycles zooming up and down the street hasbecome a norm.

“During the day it is still bearable but

when it starts gettingdark, especially onweekends, I can hearone speeding pass al-most every 15 min-utes,” she says.

“One of my grand-children is also in-volved with the gangs.That’s how I knowthey are using motor-bikes to move drugsfrom one area to an-other.”

She says not all chil-dren are involvedwith illegal activitybychoice.

“My grandchild isone of the childrenwhodoesn’twant to behelped, but there aremany others who areforced to be runnersfor the gangs. They ei-ther harass the kidswhen the are on theirway to school, or theyoffer to buy them newtakkies or clothes. If achild can’t afford tohave name brands andsomeone offers it tothem, why would they

say no?”Bennett says motorbikes are popular

with younger people as they are relativelycheap compared to the price of a car.

“Bikers can also drive on their own withtheir learners’ licence from the age of 16,”he says.

Another resident says she has witnessedpeople exchanging money and suspicious-looking parcels while on their motorbikes.

“Most of these kids own motorbikes sothey can get to school. Taxi and bus fair isexpensive, especially if they have to traveloutside of Manenberg. Now they are beingtargeted by the gangs because they have ac-cess to a motorbike.”

Manenberg Community Policing Forumchairperson Randall April says the policehave had many successful operations to tryand stop this trend.

“We noticed an increase in activity dur-ing the school holidays, but the sector vansare doing a good job while on patrol. Regu-lar stop and searches are also held, specifi-cally focused on motorbikes.”

Bennett says patrols in the precinct willbe increased.

“We will also be checking on whetherdrivers are licensed and that they are ad-hering to the rules of the road,” he says.

QUICK GETAWAY: Police are focusing ondrug dealers transporting contraband onmotorbikes. This photo is an illustration.

No rest for VarsityCup championsUCT will launch straight into West-

ern Province club rugby competi-tion less than a week after winning

their second FNB Varsity Cup title.The Ikey Tigers beat NWU Pukke in

the final in Potchefstroom on Mondaynight, but will have to keep the celebra-tions brief ahead of their first SuperLeague A fixture against Tygerberg onSaturday.They may not have much time to sa-

vour the victory, but Ikeys will certainlybe boosted by the manner of their win.UCT got off to a flying start as a flowing

backline move saw outside-centre HuwJones hit a gap and surge over for theopening try.Dean Grant’s conversion attempt hit

the upright to start what would be an in-consistent night with the boot.Pukke responded by forcingUCTback-

wards and a period of sustained pressuresaw the hosts take the lead when flankRhyk Welgemoed burst through a gapand scrumhalf Tiaan Dorfling convertedthe try.They took advantage of their momen-

tumand increased the lead as goodhandsdown the backline saw left wing LutherObi score in the corner.UCT were first to score when the sides

returned from the strategy break, withwing Richard Stewart finishing off acounter-attack after flank Jason Klaasenwona turnover inhis 22.Grantwasagainoff target from the kicking tee.UCTreceivedamassiveboostwhenop-

position centre JohanDeyselwas yellow-carded for a perceived reckless tackle,

but they could not capitalise before thehalf-time whistle sounded.Pukke were the next to score, with

hooker Armand van der Merwe power-ing his way over from close range aftera series of strong drives by the hosts.The try went unconverted and they

were again reduced to 14 men soon after-wards, when tighthead prop NhlanhlaNgcamu saw yellow for a high tackle.But Pukke continued scoring despite

the numerical disadvantage, with DillonSmit scoring a penalty to take the scoreto 20-10. UCT needed a response to getback into the game, and got it fromadriv-ing maul with the hard-working Klaasencrashing over to cut the deficit to 20-15.UCT were cut down to 14 men after a

cynical infringement from wing LihleliXoli on their try-line and Pukke capital-ised almost immediately, with Smit forc-ing hisway over to extend the lead again.Lock Francois Robbertse seemingly

put the result beyond doubtwhen he add-ed another try soon after, but UCT re-fused to accept their fate.Michael Botha andGrant hit backwith

two quick-fire tries, both of which wereconverted by Grant, before Nathan Nelstruck in extra time to hand the Ikeys thevictory.Grant added the extras to give UCT to

take the final score to 39-33.The fixture against Tygerberg will

take place at Florida Park at 16:00.The other Super LeagueA fixtureswill

see Primrose travel to Helderberg, FalseBay visit Victorians and SK Walmersface UWC in Bellville.

Milano still in the running for gloryLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Milano United are set to enter the mostcrucial period of their National FirstDivision campaign.

The Grassy Park side are clinging to thirdplace on the table and the Absa Premiershippromotion-relegation play-off spot thatcomes with it.

However, with fourth-placed Jomo Cos-mos and fifth-placed Baroka FC level onpoints and trailing only by goal difference,any slip-ups in the final four games could seeMilano out of the running.

But coach Theo Hempe believes his play-ers will not fold under the pressure.

“The most important thing is that (ourfate) is in our own hands,” he says.

“We are currently in the second play-offspot but we believe we are better that. Wewill definitely make it to the play-offs.”

Hempe may be certain of sealing thirdplace, but the position is far from sewn up.

Cosmos trail by just three goals, whileBaroka are four away – a gap that could easi-ly be closed in the remaining fixtures.

Meanwhile, Milano’s own form has beenfar from sparkling.

The Black and Yellow looked like serioustitle contenders not too long ago, with ahealthy lead at the top of the table, but a dipin form has seen them tumble down thestandings.

Last month was a particularly dark periodfor Hempe’s charges, with only three pointstaken from a potential 15.

Milano kicked off the month with a 1-0 lossto Santos at home, drew 2-2 away to bottomside Blackburn Rovers, lost 1-0 at home toVasco da Gama, drew 2-2 away to WitbankSpurs and repeated that score-line againstThanda Royal Zulu.

They finally arrested the slide on Sunday,winning 1-0 against Sivutsa Stars at home.

The victory aside, Hempe believes histeam performed better in their three awaydraws. “Although the performances weren’tgood, the players grinded it out and got thethree points,” he says.

“That will help us get to the play-offs and

could help us turn the corner completely.”He adds his players must replicate the

away form and home-field grit in all four re-maining clashes.

“When you score two goals away fromhome you are definitely doing somethingright,” Hempe says.

“We have been playing well, it’s just wehave to play with that same freedom at homeagain. I’m happy with how the guys are re-sponding.”

Milano will face Maluti FET College inFree State on Saturday, before hosting BlackLeopards on Sunday 27 April, travelling toUnited FC on Sunday 4 May and hostingleague leaders Chippa United on Sunday 11May.

Slave Route Challenge entries openLIAM MOSESLiamCPT

Runners and walkers of all ages and experi-ence levels are advised to complete their en-tries for the fourth annual Jive Slave RouteChallenge.

Online entries for the popular race, ofwhich People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, opened yesterday (Wednesday) and areexpected to fill up quickly.

The race first took place in 2011 and thechallenge has since become a highlight onthe Cape Town sporting calendar. Last yearover 5000 people participated.

As usual, the route will take participantspast some of Cape Town’s most importanthistorical sights.

Race founder and director Farouk Meyersays the event is as much about educationas exercise.

“The idea was to highlight the slave herit-age sights because a lot of people don’t knowabout it,” he says.

“We have a lot of visitors from up-countryand many international entrants who willbe educated on the slave heritage and cul-ture of Cape Town.”

The route will take runners and walkerspass the Grand Parade, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Slave Lodge andthe Slave Tree Plaque.

Racers will also pass several other impor-

tant monuments, run through the Castle ofGood Hope and be able to take in excellentviews of the city from some of its best van-tage points.

Participants can enter for one of four dif-ferent races at event – ahalf-marathon, 10kmrun, 10km walk and 5km run.

Meyer says they aim to cater for the entirefamily and all ability levels.

Last year racers passed through the Castlesoon after starting the race in Darling Streetbetween the Grand Parade and City Hall.

The only change to the route will see run-ners travel through District Six before head-ing through the fort, to alleviate congestion

and allow participants more time for sight-seeing.

The section of the race through PentzStreet, Bo-Kaap has become a fan favourite,Meyer says.

“The hills in the race have been the talk-ing point, with one hill has even been nick-named ‘Koesister Hill’,” he says.

“Whenpeople get to the top of Pentz Street,they have a 360° view of the city and theycan enjoy a free koesister courtesy of the Bo-Kaap community.”

The racewill take place onSunday 11May.Online entries can be completedat www.jive.topevents.co.za.

Manual entries open on Monday 14 Apriland can be completed at any SportsmansWarehouse store in the province.

The Western Cape Touch Rugby Associationhas claimed its second National Inter-provin-cial Tournament (IPT) title in just sixmonths.

Islanders took the overall title at the South Afri-can Touch Association junior IPT in Septemberand added the senior overall title to their collec-tion in Durban last month.

Team manager Nadeema Levy says the titles area result of hard work in the face of adversity.

“It’s just hard work that makes us win; there isno magic formula,” she says.

“We trained on Sundays, because it’s the onlydays players can attendpractise.Our players don’thave transport, so we had to arrange lifts and col-lect people.

“Wedon’t have our own field, sowehave tomovetraining around to various places. We make sureour sessions are effective and worked hard in theshort time we had (to practise).”

Islanders dominated the junior IPT, winning theboys under-19, under-17, under-15 and girls under-19 divisions. They also claimed silver in the girlsunder-15 and bronze in the boys under-21 divi-sions.

Western Cape claimed four medals at the seniorevent, winning the men’s open and invitational di-vision, and claiming bronze in the women’s openand mixed open divisions.

Levy says the impressive showing at the seniorIPT left the team “jubilant”, adding the perform-ance of the women’s teams was the biggestachievement.

“At the four previous tournaments, the women’steams didn’t perform but we have really workedhard to develop and promote the women’s game,”she says.

“We went from last at the previous tournamentto third, building a team from scratch. This wasour biggest achievement and the future looksbrighter for us going forward.”

Western Cape Islanders currently runs touchrugby leagues for around 50 schools in across theCape Peninsula.V Anyone interested in participating in touch rugby, assistingor sponsoring can phone Levy on 082 332 5155.
