A law enforcement office in Gates-ville has already proved to be asuccess since it was set up just

over a month ago.Residents andvisitorswho frequent

the busy hub in Gatesville say theyhave already seen the difference it hasmade.Resident Angela Dickens says hav-

ing the satellite office in the area hasgiven her “peace of mind”.“There are so many chancers who

prowl our streets andhaving the satel-lite office here just makes one feel alittle safer. I am glad they have intro-duced this in our area,” Dickens says.Another resident, who requested to

remainanonymous, says although thesatellite office serves a good purposehe does not think criminals are de-terred by it.“You get your thieves who still take

their chances. This might be becausethe area is so busy and the officerswho are here can’t have their eyesopen for everybody,” he says.

Report crimePeople are encouraged to report crimeat the satellite office, but the residentbelieves that people see it as “toomuch effort”.“You get some people who will re-

port the crime but others just don’t goto the trouble. They either realise toolate that they have been pick-pocketed

or they figure that reporting the stolengoods will not make it come back,” headds.JP Smith,mayoral committeemem-

ber for safety and security, says: “Thesatellite office was established astherewasno lawenforcement office inthe immediate vicinity and was fund-ed by the mayor’s urban renewalproject.”He adds the office will serve as a

community service centre.

Physical presence“Complaints can be reported directlyto the office. Itwill also establish a lawenforcement presence in the area.The community will have the re-assurance of a physical presence thatwill help deter by-law contraventionsand criminal activity,” Smith ex-plains. Residents will also be able tocertify documents at the office.The office is open from 09:00 to

17:00 and is manned by both perma-nent law enforcement officers andauxiliary officers.Ward councillorMagedien Davids

says he is happy with the placementof the satellite office.“This is definitely needed in the

Gatesville area. It will aid in solvingaggravations such as thefts and illegalactivity in the hub,” Davids says.He adds officers also do spot rounds

in which illegal sales are targeted.V What are your thoughts? Starting with theword “Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSescost R1.

Protesters seekstate of emergencyCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Rainy weather could not deter residentsfrom Cape Flats communities to march

to parliament on Tuesday last week.Residents from Manenberg, Parkwood,

Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwel protest-ed outside parliament to demand that astate of emergency be declared in the CapeFlats.Community activist and organiser of the

march George Felix says the march wasneeded to make the plight of residentsheard.“We are fed up with having our children

senselessly killed daily. Gangsters are try-ing to overpower communities and we aretaking a stand against that,” he says.Felix says an e-petition was signed by

more than 1750 people in support of thecampaign.“We would have liked more signatures

on the petition but because itwas done elec-

tronically, all our communities could notbe a part of it.“However, another petition will be

drawn up and this will be sent door to doorinall volatile communities to showouruni-ty for this cause,” he says.Residents who joined the protest outside

parliament said theywanted gangsters anddrugs out of their living areas.“They are killing our children. The po-

lice and government must do something sowe can be safe in our communities again,”protestors were heard shouting.The protesters also aired their frustra-

tion with the presence of firearms in theCape Flats and the apparent lack of policeresponse.“Why are guns allowed in and out of our

communities?Theyneed to investigate cor-rupt cops who know exactly where theseguns are being stored at merchant homes.We have had enough,” more shouted.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Police-issued pistolrecovered in ManenbergA 32-year-old man was arrested for the illegalpossession of a firearm on Wednesday lastweek just after 05:00.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-

ant Ian Bennett says the man was arrestedwith a 9mm pistol after extra members were“deployed to combat the gang situation with-in the area”.“Members of Manenberg police detectives

were busy with tracing of wanted suspectswithin the area. They went to an address inSeine Walk where they spotted a group of tenmen standing on the corner. As the policemembers approached them one of the menturned around and started to run,” Bennettsays.He adds the suspect who ran was seen

throwing an object over a wall.“Members managed to corner the man and

they then retrieved the item that was thrownover the wall which was a 9mm pistol police-issued firearm,” Bennett confirms.The 32-year-old male was arrested and will

be appearing in court soon.Bennett says police members have been de-

ployed in the area to step up operations, in-crease visibility and to conduct stop-and-searches.“[We are] creating disruptive operations so

that gangs don’t have the freedom to movearound.”Manenberg station commander Brigadier

Andre van Dyk says he will continue to en-courage the community to get involved in ac-tive policing in which the community can en-sure the safety of residents.V Anyone with information can contact the Manenbergpolice on 021 699 9400 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Locals protest GMO foodCapetonians have taken to the street to de-mand correct labelling of genetically modi-fied foods.

As part of an international protest, themarch took place in the city centre on Satur-day.

Protesters claim that authorities have giv-en into a handful of biotechnology compa-nies by failing to require testing and label-ling of genetically engineered foods.

The march is a pro-organic, anti-transgen-ic genetically modified organisms (GMO)campaign being held on six continents andin over 500 cities worldwide.

GMOs are organisms whose genetic mate-rial have been artificially manipulated in alab through genetic engineering, says eventorganiser Jeannie Ross.

“GMOsare engineered towithstanddirectapplication of herbicide and/or to producean insecticide,” she says.

Concerned citizens aim to spread aware-ness about the possible harmful effects of ge-netically modified food, to demand the rightto natural medicines and to support localsmall and organic farmers.

Over 800 people braved cold and wet weather in the city centre on Saturday to marchagainst the incorrect use of genetically modified organisms. PHOTOS: NICKY NEWMAN

The march was part of a pro-organic, anti-transgenic genetically modified organisms(GMO) campaign being held on six continentsand in over 500 cities worldwide

The protesters were joined by traditional healers, speaking out against the suppression oftheir right to use natural medicines.


From clerk to lawyerLIEZL BENJAMIN

His grandfather predicted that ayoung Athlone police clerkwould one day become a law-

yer. And recently that predictioncame true when Russel van Rooyenwas admitted as an advocate in theCape High Court.

Van Rooyen (32), who hails fromSherwood Park in Manenberg, at-tendedWynberg Boys High and afterhe matriculated there were many ca-reers that piqued his interest, but inthe end his grandfather’s predictionand a cousin who was already a law-yer, won him over to law.

In 2006 he enrolled for his LLB de-gree at the University of theWesternCape (UWC)whileworking as a clerkat the Athlone police office.

Van Rooyen admits that studyingwhile holding down a full-time jobhas been a big challenge. He creditshis success to surrounding himselfwith “positive people” and having astrong support system.

“It was difficult working and studyingpart-time, but what kept me going was myfirmbelief inGodand the support I receivedfrom my family.

“My grandfather knew I was stubborn,from a very young age already – and whenI get told I can’t do it, I try even harder toprove that I can do it.”

In 2011 his determination paid off whenhe graduated from UWC with his LLB de-gree and in 2013 he hit the law books againwhen he did a six months’ legal practicaltraining certificate at the University ofCape Town.

So other than the prediction of his grand-father, what is the allure of the law to VanRooyen?He describes himself as a “champi-on for the underdog”, one who hates to seeinjustices done to his fellow man.

“Law is applicable everywhere and forme the aspect of protecting the human

rights of others has always been an interest-ing one.”

Advocate Van Rooyen is considering hisnext step. “I would love to become part ofthe legal services in the police and whoknows, I might even end up at the nationalprosecuting authority!”

Van Rooyen laughs when asked whetherhe would ever cross over to become a de-fence attorney.

He says there are lots of people who havebeen wrongfully accused and they too havethe right to seek legal counsel – once againappealing tohis senseofwronging the right.

The plight of the downtrodden is a strongmotivation for Van Rooyen – and with thesupport of his loving family who knowswhere his sense of protecting the rights ofthe underdog will take this ambitious andjust-minded legal eagle. . . After all, eaglesare known for soaring to great heights.

The Saartjie Baartman Centre forWomenand Children has raised the alarm

around escalating levels of violence againstchildren.The Centre attributes the higher levels of

violence to an increase in violence in gener-al, with children being caught in the cross-wire – be it gang-related or domestic vio-lence.“Despite all of the awareness raised, at

least three children that we know of havegone missing over the past two weeks. Thesystem is broken and sadly children, ourmost vulnerable members of society, areeasy targets for predators,” says ShaheemaMcLeod, director of the Centre.

MotivateUsing Child Protection Week, which is thisweek, the Centre launched an anonymouspostcard campaign, aimed at exploring themotivation for violence. The campaign,named “I deserve it”, tasked 600 Grade 10pupils to describe the circumstances thatwould warrant domestic violence. Respons-es varied, from the unacceptability of vio-lence, no matter the situation, to violencebeing deserved when dinner wasn’t readyor an expected (but unconfirmed) affair hadtaken place.McLeod says they are not surprised by

the findings of the campaign. She says oftenthere is a disconnect between what peopleknow to be wrong and how they behave.“Our findings revealed that regardless of

the community and the school, the pupil re-sponses very much depended on the envi-ronment in which the child had beenraised.”Stories of child abuse are commonplace

in SouthAfrica; one out of four children areabused daily and it has been estimated thata child goes missing every five hours. De-spite the country’s child protection laws,policies and programmes, high levels ofabuse and violence are reported on a dailybasis.

Damage“Children are not only affected when theythemselves are the victims of violence – ex-posure to violence, for example towards themother, can be seriously damaging to theiremotional psyche,” says Zeenat Osman,child counsellor at the Centre.“Children who have witnessed domestic

violence may experience a variety of emo-tions ranging from guilt to helplessness,which in turn can lead to behavioural prob-lems or social difficulties. The postcardcampaign was very insightful in this re-gard; it provided an opportunity to explorethe ramifications of violence through ananonymous platform.”

Help for abuseGrade 10 pupils fromSeaPointHighSchool,Leadership College, Gugulethu Compre-hensive Secondary School and NormanHenshilwood High School took part in thepostcard campaign.Established in Manenberg in 1999, the

Centre helps victims of violence and abuse.Typical problems faced by the children

who visit the Centre include abuse, neglect,displacement, behavioural problems, sub-stance abuse and difficulties at school.

Abuse ‘seriouslydamages kids’

Children’sthoughts onviolenceLocal Grade 10 pupils took part in ananonymous postcard campaign by theSaartjie Baartman Centre for Womenand Children to explore the motiva-tion for violence.The 600 pupils from Sea Point High

School, Leadership College, Gugulet-hu Comprehensive Secondary Schooland Norman Henshilwood HighSchool gave reasons for the use of vio-lence.

Reasons for violence. When I am impundent and out ofline and get smacked for it.. When someone sexually harassesme.. My mother deserves it when my fa-ther hits her.. When men smack my bum becauseI am dressed inappropriately.. In Islam thehusbandcanhit hiswifeonly if she disobeys more than thrice.He’s not allowed to hit her in her face.

Reasons against abuse.Womenshouldnot bebeaten,wheth-er they are at fault or not. Everyonemakes mistakes. Women do not de-serve to be injured for a silly mistakelike burning food. Men are just pettysometimes.. A women should not be beaten, ourConstitution andBill of Rights says so.Everyone is equal, no-one is perfect,we allmakemistakes.Women deserverespect, love and care and not to bebeaten.. When a woman does somethingwrong for her husband, they shouldtalk about it and not fight about it.. No one deserves to be beaten. It isnot right.

tunity to play against children from other ar-eas but it is also to keep them busy and chan-nel their energy in the right direction. Wewant them to get involved in sport ratherthan a life of crime,” he says.Sport Against Crime president Vincent

Daniels says he has a team dedicated to find-ing the areas worst affected by gangsterismand crime.“We send people out to find the most dan-

gerous areas and thenwe partnerwith police

to come up with a solution. We notice thatthe children are left to their own devices andare being used by the drug dealers to do theirdirty work,” he says. “These children comefrom a disadvantaged background and areeasy targets.”Daniels says he approaches police cluster

commanders and asks for their support be-fore moving forward. The organisation is aregistered non-governmental organisationand was started 28 years ago.His plan is to extend the children’s expert-

ise in the sport as they grow.“There is lots of talent in Cape Town. We

want to bring teams from all over the worldto share their knowledgeandplayagainst thecluster teams in friendly matches,” he says.Goss says the tournament is also about

gaining the confidence of the youngsters.“With the recent case of child molestation

going to court we need to train the childrento talk.“They must know that it is okay to come

and report crime to the police,” he says. Hebelieves the police’s involvement will proofthat they support the community.Daniels encourages residents to get in-

volvedwith the organisation. Formore infor-mation call him on 082 865 1144.V The tournament will be held at Rocklands HighSchool in Eisleben Road, Mitchell’s Plain from 10:00 to15:00.

He brings positivityon a good noteCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Hehas a vision for his communityand he promises to make it work.This is the sentiments of Clay-

ton September, a musician fromHanover Park.September says he wants to

bring positivity back to his areaand highlight the talents of manyyouth in the community by start-ing a music school.“In a community that is riddled

by so much negativity one oftenmisses the positive things. Andthere is definitely so much goodthings hidden in this beautifulcommunity,” September says.The musician says that as a re-

sult of being exposed to differentgenres of music, “especially jazz”, he wasfortunate enough to study music and expe-rience travelling throughout his music ca-reer.Hehadbeen involvedwith school projects

in the Overbergwhen he realised he neededto give back to his own community.“We did a few programmes at schools in

the Overberg and when I saw what the kidsare going through on that side, it wasn’tmuch different from what is happening inour community. They are faced with thesame struggles as us on this side,” he adds.He says the programmes which were run

at the different schools “definitely made apositive impact”.“We could see childrenwere getting excit-

ed because of the music and they wanted tolearn. From then I just knew I would haveto do the same for my community,” he en-thuses.September says he envisions bringing

hope to theHanover Park community by in-troducing a music school to the youth whohave an interest in music and who are alsoalready so “rich in talents”.“It is truly a magical thing when you see

a child experience joy because of music.And this iswhat Iwant toworkon,”headds.September says although he only knows

of one school that tried to introduce musicto the youth, it was not being managed andwas not as successful as it could be.“By introducing this as an extramural ac-

tivity at schools it will motivate our chil-dren to steer away from the evils we arefaced with. It will be a sustainable musicschool and I want it to last for years,” headds.September says he wants to start up the

school by the end of the year after planswere set in motion a month ago.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post’, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Clayton September from Hanover Park has vastexperience in the music industry and intends to sharethis with the youths in his community by starting amusic school.

World cyclist visits CapeMARK WARD

ACape Townmedical doctor, Amit Ghosh,has teamed up with Indian adventurer-

cyclist Somen Debnath.Ghosh (29) met Debnath, who hails from

Sunderban-Kolkata in the province of Ben-gal, three weeks ago at a gathering at theShri Siva Aalayam Hindu Temple in Ry-lands.Debnath is onanaround-the-world bicycle

tour in aid of HIV/Aids awareness. Hereached South Africa earlier this year – the94th country on his trip. He has already cy-cled 112 600km.“My goal is to travel 200 000km and visit

191 countries, meeting 20 million people bythe end of 2020,” says Debnath.“From 2009 to 2012, I cycled across Europe.

I have travelled in 10 countries in theMiddleEast while South Africa is the 10th Africancountry I have visited.“During my travels I have experienced

many close encounters which were life-threatening. At one stage I was blindfoldedand strapped to a chair in darkness by theTaliban. But, overall, I generally cameacross good people, which has made my tripthus far not only interesting, but also fulfill-ing,” says Debnath.While Ghosh is not joiningDebnath on his

journeys, he will be helping to document theadventurer’s travel stories.“After my first meeting with Somen I was

intrigued by his determination. I’m fromBengali decent and share his culture. Myfamily has strong roots in India. Because hisnatural eloquence is in Bengali I want to as-sist him to create his stories in English. Wealso share a common vision about advocacyaround HIV/Aids,” says Ghosh.Debnath was recently the guest of JP

Smith, mayoral committee member for safe-ty and security. Debnath handed over an In-dian flag to the City at a ceremony held atthe Newlands cricket ground. The flag wasreceived by Nashua Cape Cobras player

Mthokozisi Shezi.Smith jokingly referred to Debnath as be-

ing “nuts” for his travels. “One can onlyhave admiration for this brave youngman,”said Smith.

Cape Town mustbe more ‘liveable’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Every resident has a part to play in draw-ing investment to Cape Town.This was the message of Wesgro CEO

Tim Harris, who addressed the MouillePoint Ratepayers’ Association on Thurs-day last week.Wesgro is the official destination mar-

keting, investment and trade promotionagency for the Western Cape. It promotesCape Town and the region all over theworld as an investment destination and aplace to sell products.“To quote Michael Bloomberg, if you

want people to invest in your city, youhaveto make it a city people want to live in,”Harris said.This means residents needed to be civic-

minded and partner with the council andlocal agencies to prevent crime and makethe city more liveable, he said.“There’s a whole lot going on that people

don’t know about. We’ve got a lot to sell,”he said.Wine and similar products sell them-

selves – the agency needs to tell the unex-pected story, Harris said.“There’s still the perception that if you

want to do business in South Africa, youneed to go to Johannesburg,” he said.In his talk, Harris focused on three sec-

tors, each of which has proven its viabilityas investment opportunities.Harris told the story of Cape Town entre-

preneur Cameron Stevens, who foundedProdigy Finance, a company which offersloans to international postgraduate stu-dents at leading business schools.As an INSEADgraduatewho experienced

the difficulties of financing an internation-al MBA, he and two fellow students set outto solve this problem.When he approached venture capitalists

in theUSA, Stevenswas toldhe couldn’t runa company like this fromCapeTown,Harrissaid.Stevens has since proven them wrong,

having distributed $50m in loans to post-

graduate students from 90 nationalities,with exceptional repayment performance.“When you look at assetmanagement, Af-

rica’s money is now run out of Cape Town,”Harris said.The food industry is another growing sec-

tor, as illustrated by a local iced tea compa-ny.“In 2009, a rooibos farmer named Dave

Evans started making Bos iced tea,” Harrissays. Today, the product is sold in 14 coun-tries.“Dave always says we need to ditch our

inferiority complex,” Harris said. “Withour diversemarket, if you can sell a productin South Africa, you can sell it anywhere.”And it’s not just small companies running

the Cape Town food industry, Harris says,with retail giants like Pick n Pay, Wool-worths and Shoprite based in the Cape.Manufacturers are also choosing Cape

Town, with engines made for Mercedes-Benz trucks and flat-screen TVs producedfor Hisense in factories in Atlantis.

While green shoots are slowly returning to the areason Table Mountain affected by the recent wild-

fires, a local resident has returned too.An adult male porcupine has been released back into

Silvermine nature reserve after being rehabilitated bythe SPCA.The severely burned porcupine was found by an

SPCA inspector near the Sanparks Silvermine office offOu Kaapse Weg two weeks after the fire.The porcupine, unofficially nicknamed “PP” due to

his habit of urinating on anyone and everyone, was tak-en to Cape of Good Hope SPCA’s Short Term WildlifeCare Facility in Grassy Park, where his burns weretreated daily for two months.“He was treated by our on-site veterinarians and

wildlife inspectors. He was rescued a short distancefrom the road along Ou Kaapse Weg in the Silverminearea, and so was released back into the same sectionof the Table Mountain National Park,” says SPCAspokesperson Wanika Davids.PP is one of many animals rehabilitated after being

injured in the fire, says Davids. “We rescued and caredfor a number of tortoises, snakes and porcupines andsuccessfully released two angulate tortoises, four par-rot-beak tortoises, a few Cape cobras, one puff adder,one boomslang and one porcupine.”Another porcupine is still undergoing treatment for

his burnt feet, Davids says.“He is recovering exceptionally well and we expect

to take him home to the wild very soon,” she says.Most of the animals suffered burns to their feet or

were displaced.“There was a grysbok that also came into our centre

after the fire, but succumbed tohis injuries which were sadlytoo severe. Three other porcup-ines also suffered more severewounds and did not survive,”Davids says.However, healing the ani-

mals is only the first step in re-covery, Davids explains.“Wild animals belong in the

wild – all these animals are partof our wild, natural fauna thatcall the national park home.They belong there.“Our aim when helping dis-

placed or injured wildlife is toassist them medically and re-turn them to their natural habi-tats as quickly as possible,” sheexplains.V Report any displaced wildlife or ani-mals in distress to 021 700 4158/9 or083 326 1604 after hours.

Opportunity to learnlanguage of the futureEver wanted to list “coding” as a skill youhave mastered?Africa Code Week is a one-of-kind educa-

tional initiative that will be piloted at theCape Town Science Centre from Saturdayto Thursday next week.The event will provide an opportunity for

free workshops for educators and free cod-ing (computer programming) workshopsfor children between the ages of 8 and 11years.Coding is the literacy of the digital age

and the best way for young children to be-come fluent is to learn and play.While technology is transforming educa-

tion and learners learn how to use it, the re-ality is that they rarely learn how it works.As a language coding helps make sense of

how things work, explores ideas and howto make things. Every interaction betweenhumans and computers is governed bycode. Programming is therefore fundamen-tal to the understanding of how technologyworks.

“Importantly, coding contributes to de-veloping key skills in mathematics andproblem-solving in the classroom environ-ment. It also encourages teamworkandana-lytical thinking, all essential 21st centuryskills for our youth,” says Julie Cleverdon,director of the Science Centre.In preparation for Africa Code Week, the

Centre is calling on all teachers, parents,students, businesses, NGOs and education-al institutions to takeup the opportunity forthese free workshops, which will preparethem to implement coding classes for chil-dren.The train-the-trainer workshop is two

hours long and will take place on Saturdayand Sunday at the Science Centre. Free one-hour coding workshops for children willtake place between 1 and 4 June.For more information call Leigh on

DANCE

Bollywood brought closeLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town performance troupe Taareis bringing Bollywood to your door-

step.Founded by Athlone’s Ahneesh Valo-

dia, Taare aims to promote and preservethe Indian arts in “an original and creati-ve manner”.

By using Bollywood song and dance,Ahneesh says they make Indian arts mo-re accessible or appealing to audiences aswell as the troupe’s dancers, helpingthem maintain a link to Indian cultureand traditions.

Ahneesh explains that the term “Bolly-wood” refers to both traditional and mo-dern Indian dance styles.

“It’s actually any style you can thinkof,” he says, adding: “It’s more the creati-ve use of different dance styles.”

Ahneesh started dancing when he waseight years old and says he knew then al-ready that that’s what he wanted to do forthe rest of his life.

His plan was to pursue formal trainingafter matric, but his “health started ac-ting up”.

Although he was diagnosed with mus-cular dystrophy, a degenerative muscledisease, Ahneesh performed as much aspossible in his teens while he still could,until it got to a point where he needed toswop the stage for a wheelchair.

Dancing had become the centre of hislife though and he couldn’t give up on hisdreams, so he decided to switch perfor-ming for teaching and choreography.

Knowing that “there is a way aroundthings” is what helped Ahneesh cope. Bystarting the troupe, he gets to help otherdancers achieve their dreams.

Bollywood has always been Ahneesh’sfirst love. As a child he used to watch Bol-lywood movies and try the dances himself.While he’s a classically traineddancer, hisBollywood choreography is self-taught.

He started spreading the word about

starting a troupe in 2012 and contacteddancers that he knew were not activelyperforming at the time.

With word of mouth Taare grew andthe rest, as they say, is history.

In the beginning, Taare would askdancers to book spaces at UCT residen-ces for rehearsals. Today, however, theyhave a set venue at Rustenberg Girls’High School where they rehearse everySaturday from 10:00 to 12:00 with extrarehearsals when they are preparing fora performance.

Ahneesh says the troupe of 30 dancersis made up of matriculants, studentsand professionals. “They come from allwalks of life.”

He says the audition process is opento anyone, with no previous dance expe-rience necessary.

Taare performs a few times a monthand the group performs its own produc-tions along with shows at charity, com-munity or corporate events.

Ahneesh says, to his knowledge,Taare is the only Bollywood dance trou-pe inCapeTown.While there are Indiandance schools, Taare operatesmore likea dance company.

The group runs on a non-profit basis,relying on sponsorships and donations.At themoment, theyare specifically loo-king for someone to helpwith their soci-al media management.

Ahneesh explains that his troupeexists to provide a service to the com-munity. They provide a platform for

dancers to mature their talents and bringIndian dance to a wide range of audiences.V Visit www.taare.co.za or www.facebook.com/TaareDance for more information about Taare andits shows, to arrange an audition or to find out abouthelping the troupe in any way.

With over four million visitors a year, it’s easy to seeTable Mountain as a tourist destination.It is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or watch the sun-

set. It’s a space to take the family or walk the dogs.But while we enjoy having one of the world’s natural

wonders on our doorstep, we should never underestimateMother Nature.The fact remains that our belovedmountain is just that

– a mountain. And with it comes any number of dangers.Yet every year we see tourists climbing the mountain

without water, in poor weather conditions and dressedinappropriately (some even wearing shorts and flip-flops). And a number of these hikers come off second best,with their day outing having the reputation of the“world’s most underestimated mountain”.Every year people go missing, are injured and even die

while climbing Table Mountain. Last year, the body ofa 23-year-old judo expert from Japan was found after hefell 30m. A two-week search is currently underway for amissing Muizenberg man who is thought to have gonehiking from Tafelberg Road.This is not to say you shouldn’t enjoy the World Heri-

tage Site. But you owe it to your family and to yourselfto take basic precautions.Tell someonewhere you are going and never hike alone

– four is considered the safest number for a hiking group.If lost, never split up. Rather retrace your steps. Makesure your cellphone is charged and you have the basics– sunblock, plenty of water, snacks and awaterproof jack-et. Don’t forget your hat and hiking boots.Choose your route carefully and stick to it. Allow your-

self enough time and start early. Don’t take on a trail be-yond your experience level. Watch the weather and time,and turn back before you start running late or if badweather threatens.

Arrogance drivesroad deathsI cannot understand how people stilldrive recklessly, still speed and stilldrink and drive even though they see orread how many persons are arrested forlast-mentioned.The carnage on the roads still carries

on unabated even if the law enforcementagencies announce they will be execut-ing roadblocks or checkpoints.The reason for this non-compliance to

the rules of the road or safe driving isattitude. Attitude is defined as “Aposition of the body or manner ofcarrying oneself, indicative of a mood orcondition”. Let’s go one step further –with attitude is another lane calledarrogance: “Excessively convinced ofone’s own self importance”.These two conditions put the foot hard

on the petrol pedal. I have personallyseen how others, and sorry to say myselftoo, experienced another vehicle justdriving too slowly for our liking orturning without using an indicator infront of us, then arrogance and attitudemake us become aggressive. Then thefoot is plunged hard on the pedal toexact road-rage revenge.The type of vehicle one drives also

triggers attitude and arrogance. Then thevehicle of status becomes an Arabianstallion ridden by a gladiator.The music and volume play another

role in the attitude and arrogant man-nerisms of the normally passive driverand here I speak of myself once again. I

have discovered that when I play passivemusic my foot is light on the petrol. Butlet me put on a catchy song, then I feelso hyped up that I develop an attitudewithin moments and that attitude andarrogance is suddenly reflected in myway of driving. If it affects me then whatabout other drivers?Let’s not forget the driver with the

pimp-my-ride vehicle – once the key isturned the peacock attitude kicks in andwhen the pedal paddling is enhanced thearrogant, untrained racing driver makesthe road his racing track with no regardfor road users or residents.Lastly, the one for the road, that one

is normally way and above the legallimit and then the attitude is thosefamous words “I can drive my car”. Thatarrogant nature makes you the mostdangerous potential killer on the high-ways and byways.The above is a summary of the main

causes of death on our roads. I want ourminister of transport and all thoseinvolved in traffic management to get anattitude and also become arrogant byreducing the speed limit as speed kills.I requesting the courts to increase the

penalties of those found guilty. We needto see those fines in our media andsocial networks on a monthly basis.This strategy will put the brakes on

attitudes and arrogance of all road users.ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKE,

Ottery

We need more visible policingSomething should really be done aboutthe conditions in Hanover Park.The stealing of cables, the stealing of

telephone lines and not to mention thebreak-ins. A person can’t even get a goodnight’s rest because every second nightthere will be someone trying to break into our house.

We really need patrol cars here atnight so they can catch the loiterers.And the ones walking with the bins

and trolleys scratching out of yourrubbish bins need to be stopped.Please help.

GHAIRONESA DANIELS,Hanover Park

Euthanasia debaterequires cool headsI have noted with disturbing concernthat people opposed to euthanasia arebecoming histrionic in their approach tothe debate and refer to people supportingeuthanasia as killers and murderers.This type of attitude does not make for

healthy debate.The department of health, which is also

opposed to the right to end one’s lifewhen afflicted with a terminal illness, isguilty of double standards. It freelyadvocates abortion, where the decisiondoes not rest with the unborn foetus butthe mother. The doctors carrying out theprocedure are not referred to as killersand the procedure is not called “physi-cian-assisted foeticide” but, rightly so,termination of pregnancy.People who are in favour of this right

come from a range of educational back-grounds and are quite clear that they donot wish to be subjected to the pain ofdying from the complications of terminalillness. This should not be classed as thesame as an able-bodied person commit-ting suicide due to depression; this is adifferent set of circumstances.Doctors willing to assist patients with

this request are not cold-blooded killersbut are very compassionate and acceptthat medical science has its limitations.Yes, palliative care does have a huge roleto play but not everyone is keen to gothrough the process of dying slowly andin severe agony.To end one’s life, when there is no

hope, has been deemed unethical andimmoral. Who makes such a decision onwhat is ethical and what is moral in theface of enormous human suffering? Is itsome wise philosopher, judge or religiousleader?Ethics and morality mean very little to

someone who is severely afflicted byincurable pain and suffering. They arethe only ones who fully understand whatit is to live in agony, patiently waitingfor death, not some wise philosopher orprofessor in his/her cosy study, full ofbooks that make him/her look eruditeand knowledgeable about everything.

Keep up with rules of the roadMore crashes arise from human error

than from any other cause, and disre-gard for traffic law is oneof themain reasonsfor these errors.This is the word from the Automobile As-

sociation (AA), which was commenting onthe International Automobile Association’s(FIA) international drive for better roadsafety by promoting adherence to the rulesof the road.“Every motorist with a valid driving li-

cence started out with two tests of trafficlaw: the learner’s licence and the drivingtest,” says the AA.“Over the years, drivers often forget what

they’ve learned or disregard it altogether.“In addition, traffic law changes over time

– what is legal todaymay not be legal tomor-row, and motorists need to adapt.” The AAgives the example of the recently introducedchild seat legislation which now requireschildren under three years to be secured inan SABS-approved child seat when travel-ling in a passenger car.“Traffic law evolves constantly and it’s ev-

ery motorist’s duty to stay up to date.”

Gamble with lifeAlthough South Africa has some of the

most comprehensive traffic legislation inthe world, the country’s road safety recordis poor. One of the reasons motorists disre-gard traffic law is because the law seems tobe applied incorrectly.“If you live in an area which has many

four-waystopswhere traffic circleswouldbemore appropriate, the answer is not to diso-bey four-way stops,” the AA says. “Rather

approach the local municipality or roadsagency to suggest a change to the road lay-out. When motorists take the law into theirown hands, it can easily become a habit, un-til one day they may routinely disobey afour-way stop and be involved in a crash.”Another reason for poor compliance with

traffic law is motorists who believe theyknow better. Examples are often seen of mo-torists who overtake over barrier lines ordrive through red traffic lights, either be-cause they believe there is no danger or areunable to recognise it.However, many crashes arise when these

gambles donotworkout as intended, and theAA says motorists should not pick andchoose which laws to obey.

Resist temptationTraffic law enforcement in SouthAfrica is

not applied to the same standard as in manydeveloped countries and this leads manymotorists to drive as they please in the beliefthat they will not be caught. This can leadto a status quo of unlawful behaviour inwhich other previously law-abiding motor-ists notice this tendency and begin to adoptit themselves, reasoning that if others candrive that way, so can they.“It is unfortunate that we must single out

the taxi industry in this regard, but taxis’routine of driving down roads on the wrongside or in theyellow line to avoid traffic haveled othermotorists to behave the sameway,”the AA says.“We call onmotorists to resist this tempta-

tion – continued safety at the wheel meansdriving in accordance with traffic laws re-

gardless of inadequate en-forcement or the poor be-haviour of other road us-ers.”The AA says that many

motorists are unable tocomplete even a shortjourneywithout breakingat least one traffic law.Common traffic offen-

ces by many motorists in-clude failing to indicatefor lane changes, follow-ing too closely, disregard-ing road signs and notwearing seatbelts.“Past data indicates

that the majority of fatalcrashes on our roadsarise from just a handful

of traffic offences,” the AA says. “If everymotorist resolved to drive in accordance

with the law, South Africa’s road death tollwould be much lower than it currently is.”

Bernard Rukadza and Landie Greylingwon the inaugural Old Mutual TwoOceans Beast trail run on Sunday – an

event that marked a tough day in the officefor everyone that participated in the 47kmUltra Beast and 22km Mini Beast races.According to a statement by the organis-

ers, Two Oceans Marathon NPC, Rukadza,Christiaan Greyling and Dion Middelkoopran together for most of the way – even tak-ing time to tweet selfies in a show of trailcamaraderie. Middelkoop suffered fromcramps before the three leaders started theirdescent down Table Mountain, taking himout of contention for the win.“It was such an awesome race but I didn’t

even plan on winning,” says Rukadza wholives inCapeTownof his victory.“Wekickedoff the race at a pretty slowpace and I startedto push a little harderwhen I caught upwithChristiaan and Dion.”“It was a challengingroute that tested my technical skills. Thetrails were world-class, so I am really happyabout my win.”Trail queenand four-timeOldMutualTwo

Oceans 22km Trail Run champion LandieGreyling once again made her presenceknown when she maintained her lead in thewomen’s race from the start, finishing in atime of 06:37:29. Sylvie Scherzinger reachedthe finish line about 30 minutes later, com-ing in second (07:06:53), with Linda Doke inthird place (07:15:45).“The Beast definitely lived up to its name

and I will remember this race for a longtime,” says Greyling.In the 22km men’s race, nobody could out

pace rising star Craig Burns, who took a

comfortable win in a time of 02:03:39.“This win is a big one for me,” says the

24-year-old runner from Stellenbosch, whoalso led from the start.
