ishop Lavis detectives made sure to

leave no stone unturned as they arrest-

ed several suspects for hijacking,

house robberies and thepossessionof an ille-

gal firearm in the last week.

In the most recent incident a man and his

nine-year-old grandson were held up at gun-

point and demanded he hand over his car

keys and wallet before the suspects fled the

scene.

Captain Marie Louw, spokesperson from

Bishop Lavis police, says the incident oc-

curred on Thursday 2 June at about 16:40 in

The man and his grandson arrived at

The suspects fled the scene in the victims

Blue Isuzu bakkie and in their own getaway

vehicle.

However on Friday 3 June police received

information about the suspects getaway ve-

hicle and officers followed up by patrolling

Charlesville and spotted the stolen vehicle.

One of the suspects was found in posses-

sion of the getaway vehicle and arrested. He

was then taken to the police station where

he helped police to set a trap for his accom-

plice, Louw says.

The second suspect was then arrested and

the stolen Isuzu was found at a house in

Khayelitsha.

In a separate incident a man and his girl-

friendwere held up at gunpoint and their ve-

hicle and wallets were taken.

The incident occurred onSaturday 14May

at about 21:00 inDowningStreet inMontana.

The victim stopped his vehicle at his

house and while he and his girlfriend were

exiting the car, they were approached by

on the ground, Louw said.

Two of the suspects fled with the victims

pects fled in their getaway vehicle.

However on Saturday 30 May detectives

spotted the vehicle a car chase

ensued, but unfortunately they

lost the vehicle.

Determined to find the vehi-

cle, detectives continued to pa-

trol the area and spotted the ve-

hicle in Phillipi, she says.

After detectives managed to

stop the driver they found that

false number plates had been

put on the vehicle, but by check-

ing the license disc they ascer-

tained that it was indeed the hi-

jacked vehicle they were look-

ing for.

After searching he vehicle

they found 17 R5 rounds and a

26-year-old man driving the ve-

hicle was arrested.

Bishop Lavis police detectives arrested five suspects

involved in separate hijacking incidents and recov

ered the vehicles when arrests were carried out.

They also discovered 17 R5 rounds in one of the

hijacked vehicles.

A

new programmehas been launched

aimedatuplifting rental stockareas

and addressing socio-economic

challenges by empowering female ten-

ants.

The City of Cape Town launched the

programme and has in the last month had

380 women recruited in nine rental stock

areas with the assistance of local ward

councillors.

Candidates had to be legal rental stock

tenants, older than 21, and upstanding

residents of their community who are

willing to participate for the duration of

the programme.

The areas in question are Ravensmead

and Uitsig as well as Athlone, Hanover

Park, Lavender Hill, Lotus River, Macas-

sar, Manenberg and Ocean View.

The Citys Mayco committee member

for social development and early child-

hood development, Suzette Little, says a

number of City departments haveworked

together to devise a training programme

which will assist the women.

City working with tenants

The training programme will see the

women participate in identifying and ad-

dressing safety concerns and other chal-

lenges in their environment, activate ser-

vice requests related to maintenance of

the rental units and surrounding roads,

littering and dumping, graffiti, provide

home-based care services to elderly resi-

dents, monitor and address truancy, par-

ticipate in cleaning and recycling pro-

jects, unlock economic and potential en-

trepreneurship opportunities and

participate in existing City programmes

around substance abuse, domestic vio-

lence, and strengthening families.

There are many challenges that come

with our rental stock. This initiative has

the City working with tenants to improve

the lives of their communities, says Lit-

tle, adding that apart from empowering

the women who are part of the pro-

gramme, they also hope to secure the

buy-in of residents who are best placed to

articulate their needs and who need to be

actively involved in addressing those

needs.

The initiative has four phases. Phase

one involves engaging with different de-

partments to develop the training and in-

tervention programme and identifying

participants.

Phase twowill focus on training and de-

velopment through the introduction of re-

cycling programmes and economic oppor-

tunities.

Phase three will see the women em-

ployed through the Expanded Public

Works Programme for a six-month period

(supervised by the relevant departments),

monitoring the programme and devising

an exit strategy for participants.

Phase four will focus on identifying a

second group of women to participate in

the programme.

Youth component

Little says a youth component has also

been built into the programme to link

youngpeople residing in theparticipating

rental stock areas with City-run youth

programmes and camps through an in-

centive programme.

Citys Mayco member for human settle-

ments, Benedicta van Minnen, says the

City is the largest landlord in South Afri-

ca and manages more than 40 000 rental

units andmore than 19 000 selling scheme

units.

These rental units have been home to

thousands of families across the city for

many years and we have an important re-

sponsibility to our tenants to maintain

and upgrade our rental stock, she says.

A culture of payment

To do this the City rely on rental/instal-

ment collections and they know that in-

stilling a culture of payment now will en-

sure a sustainable future for all residents.

We are hoping that these female ten-

ant-ambassadorswill also spread themes-

sage that we need our tenants to pay to

help us to maintain our units. We need to

work together, Van Minnen says.

Little says if this programme takes off

in the way the City envisage, they should

see an increase in the number of service

requests created, but also a general im-

provement in the cleanliness and safety

of the rental stock areas in question.

I applaud the many City departments

who have joined this initiative, but also

our many non-governmental partners. I

therefore appeal to all residents to help

themselves by supporting this initiative

as it could be the blueprint for how we

tackle issues related to social housing in

the future, adds Little.

@richardjohn_rj

Following the recent theft of much needed

state pensionmoney from an elderly couple

in Kuils River, the South African Social Se-

curity Agency (Sassa) has issued a renewed

warning for beneficiaries to be more vigi-

lant when using their payment cards.

The elderly couple from Roer Street, Jag-

tershof in Kuils River was defrauded out of

R600 late lastmonth after receiving a phone

call from an alleged fraudster and sharing

their personal details on the telephone.

Last week Shivani Wahab, spokesperson

for Sassa, discouraged people from doing

this and warned them to ignore fraudulent

text messages.

We would like to request beneficiaries

not to respond to SMS messages offering

them airtime, electricity and other servi-

ces.

Beneficiaries need to understand that by

responding to these messages, they are ac-

tually taking on a subscription service and

the amounts will be deducted off the bank

account through the EFT debit system each

month, Wahab said.

Beneficiaries have been warned not to

use their Sassa cards as security for loans

or to purchase any financial services prod-

ucts, to not respond to cell phone SMSes

where companies offer products suchas air-

time and other financial products against

their card, and to not authorise deductions

except for the one funeral policy deduction

that should not exceed 10% of the social

grant value, which Sassa has authorised in

terms of legislation.

Wahab said their branded payment card

was introduced to allow social grant benefi-

ciaries the option of accessing their social

grant anywhere in the country and at any

time, using multiple payment channels

such as ATMs, cash paypoints and selected

approved merchant stores.

However, the introduction of the Sassa

payment card into the banking system pro-

videdanopportunity for social grantbenefi-

ciaries to be exploited through unautho-

rised deductions, Wahab said.

tle, adding that apart from empowering

the women who are part of the pro-

gramme, they also hope to secure the

buy-in of residents who are best placed to

articulate their needs and who need to be

actively involved in addressing those

needs.

The initiative has four phases. Phase

one involves engaging with different de-

partments to develop the training and in-

tervention programme and identifying

participants.

Phase twowill focus on training and de-

velopment through the introduction of re-

cycling programmes and economic oppor-

tunities.

Phase three will see the women em-

ployed through the Expanded Public

Works Programme for a six-month period

(supervised by the relevant departments),

monitoring the programme and devising

an exit strategy for participants.

Phase four will focus on identifying a

second group of women to participate in

the programme.

Youth component

Little says a youth component has also

been built into the programme to link

youngpeople residing in theparticipating

rental stock areas with City-run youth

programmes and camps through an in-

centive programme.

Citys Mayco member for human settle-

ments, Benedicta van Minnen, says the

City is the largest landlord in South Afri-

ca and manages more than 40 000 rental

units andmore than 19 000 selling scheme

units.

These rental units have been home to

thousands of families across the city for

many years and we have an important re-

sponsibility to our tenants to maintain

and upgrade our rental stock, she says.

A culture of payment

To do this the City rely on rental/instal-

ment collections and they know that in-

stilling a culture of payment now will en-

sure a sustainable future for all residents.

We are hoping that these female ten-

ant-ambassadorswill also spread themes-

sage that we need our tenants to pay to

help us to maintain our units. We need to

work together, Van Minnen says.

Little says if this programme takes off

in the way the City envisage, they should

see an increase in the number of service

requests created, but also a general im-

provement in the cleanliness and safety

of the rental stock areas in question.

I applaud the many City departments

who have joined this initiative, but also

our many non-governmental partners. I

therefore appeal to all residents to help

themselves by supporting this initiative

as it could be the blueprint for how we

tackle issues related to social housing in

the future, adds Little.

Following the recent theft of much needed

state pensionmoney from an elderly couple

in Kuils River, the South African Social Se-

curity Agency (Sassa) has issued a renewed

warning for beneficiaries to be more vigi-

lant when using their payment cards.

The elderly couple from Roer Street, Jag-

tershof in Kuils River was defrauded out of

R600 late lastmonth after receiving a phone

call from an alleged fraudster and sharing

their personal details on the telephone.

Last week Shivani Wahab, spokesperson

for Sassa, discouraged people from doing

this and warned them to ignore fraudulent

text messages.

We would like to request beneficiaries

not to respond to SMS messages offering

them airtime, electricity and other servi-

ces.

Beneficiaries need to understand that by

responding to these messages, they are ac-

tually taking on a subscription service and

the amounts will be deducted off the bank

account through the EFT debit system each

month, Wahab said.

Beneficiaries have been warned not to

use their Sassa cards as security for loans

or to purchase any financial services prod-

ucts, to not respond to cell phone SMSes

where companies offer products suchas air-

time and other financial products against

their card, and to not authorise deductions

except for the one funeral policy deduction

that should not exceed 10% of the social

grant value, which Sassa has authorised in

terms of legislation.

Wahab said their branded payment card

was introduced to allow social grant benefi-

ciaries the option of accessing their social

grant anywhere in the country and at any

time, using multiple payment channels

such as ATMs, cash paypoints and selected

approved merchant stores.

However, the introduction of the Sassa

payment card into the banking system pro-

videdanopportunity for social grantbenefi-

ciaries to be exploited through unautho-

rised deductions, Wahab said.

ntries for the 28th Entrepreneur of the

Year competition sponsored by San-

lam and Business/Partners are now

open to entrepreneurs from all industries

and for businesses of any size.

Theresa Cupido from Bellville won the

Job Creator Award in the 2014 competition.

Her business idea sparked in 2005 while

listening to a debate on the radio about the

shortage of black South African female en-

trepreneurs and the need for infrastructure

in the country leading up to the 2010 Soccer

World Cup.

Owning a business and empowering peo-

ple have always been Theresas dream as

she grew up in a family of business-minded

individuals.

At the time, she was assisting her hus-

band in writing reports for the Road Acci-

dent Fund and it was through her involve-

ment with the fund that she developed an

interest in the road marking industry. She

then decided to start her own business in

the road marking and civil engineering

field.

The group offers local, regional and na-

tional authorities, contractors and consult-

ants a cost effective service that complies

with legal requirements and meets profes-

sional standards.

Since its establishment in August 2006,

her company, ATN Group, has undertaken

a number of projects for the Department of

Transport, City of Cape Town, several mu-

nicipalities, civil engineers and large prop-

erty companies, and today she employs be-

tween 250 and 300 staff.

Despite tough economic times, the effects

of which are most clearly seen in smaller

communities, entrepreneurs are ready and

able to identify and capitalise on opportuni-

ties created by gaps in the market.

While very rewarding, entrepreneurship

can be a tough journey, and entrepreneurs

need support to grow their businesses to lev-

els at which they can positively contribute

to job creation and economic growth.

This is especially true for business own-

ers in small towns and more rural commu-

nities who dont have the overwhelming

support of big business or the public sector.

These entrepreneurs, who like many, start

their business journeys in a room in their

homes, a garage, or backyard dwelling and

work tenaciously to achieve their goals

are the entrepreneurs who should be cele-

brated as the heroes of their communities.

The annual competition aims to celebrate

entrepreneurial excellence, and through

the awareness generated for the 2016 en-

trants and winners, raise the profile of en-

trepreneurship in South Africa and influ-

ence the development of the SME sector.

Gugu Mjadu, spokesperson for the 2016

Entrepreneur of the Year competition, says

entering business competitions affords en-

trepreneurs the opportunity to look at their

business from a different perspective and to

gain valuable insight into its successes and

failures. This is apart, of course, from any

cash prize money which could be used for

funding the growth of the business, as well

as the invaluablenationalmarketing the en-

trepreneur and their business will receive

by being named a finalist or winner some-

thing that is often out of reach for small

businesses.

Entering such a competition carries im-

mense value with the ease of access to busi-

ness experts, creation of a broader business

network and increase in the profile of the

business, and brings about the possibility of

a cash injection into the businesss finances

and/or growth prospects, says Mjadu.

A new pair of shoes can really

build a childs confidence.

This according to proportional

representative councillor Gerald

Sijeur of ward 6 as he is running

a campaign to provide children in

disadvantaged communities with

brand new school shoes.

To some it may only be a pair

of shoes, but to many a pair of

shoes can make a world of differ-

ence in the way they carry them-

selves, he says.

About two years ago Siljuer part-

nered with several people and

managed to hand out about 350 to

500 pairs of new school shoes to

schools in Uitsig, Manenberg,

Lavis Town and as far as Hout

Bay.

This year he will be handing out

several pairs of shoes to Belvue

Primary School after he spoke to

the principal who identified a few

of the learnerswho are in dire need

of new school shoes.

I know exactly what it feels like

to wear hand-me-downs, broken

shoes or even no shoes. Although

you are grateful for what you get,

it is always a great feeling to have

something of your own; something

new, Siljeur says.

We need to support each other

when we can, and through this

campaign I hope there are people,

organisations or businesses who

will put their hand in their own

pocket and support this initiative,

he says.

Siljeur says anyone is welcome

to support the campaign by either

purchasing a pair of school shoes,

socks or both.

A pair of new school shoes will

put a smile on a childs face and

will boost their confidence. They

will feel better about their appear-

ance andwill instead focus on their

school work than on their feet and

what they lack inmaterial things,

he says.

V Anyone who is interested in supporting

this campaign can contact the councillor

on 061 227 6067.

lorida High School learners will soon

get to enjoy their revamped media

room as WeCan24 stepped in to give

the facility a boost.

WeCan24s Gerald Petersen says earlier

inMay, 70 Naspers human resource execu-

tives from around the world, held a confer-

ence in Cape Town and as part of the con-

ference, the executiveswanted todoanout-

reachproject in theCape towncommunity.

WeCan24 was asked to shortlist deserv-

ing local schools, from which they could

choose one school that would receive a

makeover, he says.

Petersen explains what made the choice

easier was the fact these schools already

had a dedicated volunteer in the person of

Marianne Williams, whos involved with

the schools editorial team.

Sarepta Secondary was eventually cho-

sen as the beneficiary of theNaspersmake-

over, but thanks to the projects success,

Media24 CEO, Esmar Weideman, wanted

to give her executive committee a similar

kind of experience and Florida High

School was then selected after they initial-

ly missed out against Sarepta, he says.

Petersen says initially the roomwas ear-

marked for a cosmetic makeover but the

principal felt that the school needed more

space for the media room that would allow

them space for breakaway sessions.

The classes at Florida are rather big

and themedia lab needed to be a functional

space. Thiswas something theywere going

to do after we revamped the room, so it

made sense for us to do one job. To this end,

we broke through a wall to an adjacent

classroom, thus meeting their objective in

the process, he says.

He explains that the cost factor in a class-

room makeover in general is minimal.

It basically entails paint, palettes, tools,

design and willing bodies to make it hap-

pen. This project required a bit more than

that since there was also construction in-

volved.A revampof this nature can be any-

thing from R10 000 and R50 000, Petersen

says.

WeCan24 gave the two classrooms aWe-

Can24 facelift with paint from Tuis|Home

Magazine, as well as adding their signa-

ture palette walls and dcor to give the

rooms a more decorative and elegant look.

Part of the revamp also includes redoing

the floors with laminated flooring to add

to elegant feel and look.

I think its a room that fosters creativi-

ty. A space that young people can feel

proud of and no doubtwill generate a sense

of pride and ownership, not only of the

room but also of their school newspaper,

he says.

Petersen says this project also speaks of

opportunity for both learners and the

school as the editorial team now knows

that if they work hard and stay committed

to the project, WeCan24 will give them ac-

cess to all sorts ofmedia related opportuni-

ties that they otherwise would not be ex-

posed to.

Building and maintaining relation-

ships are key for us. To this end, we are al-

ways available to assist Florida and all the

other schools thatwe are involvedwith the

necessary assistance in this regard, he

says.

WeCan24 envisages the project to grow

more and hopes to have a few more part-

ners who will take up the challenge and

provide more schools with similar make-

overs. Companies who would like to join

forces can contact WeCan24 as they will

be revamping some more classrooms for

their 2016 Madiba Day project can send an

mail to [email protected].

paint on the gate at the media room at Florida High School.

Petersen explains what made the choice

easier was the fact these schools already

had a dedicated volunteer in the person of

Marianne Williams, whos involved with

the schools editorial team.

Sarepta Secondary was eventually cho-

sen as the beneficiary of theNaspersmake-

over, but thanks to the projects success,

Media24 CEO, Esmar Weideman, wanted

to give her executive committee a similar

kind of experience and Florida High

School was then selected after they initial-

ly missed out against Sarepta, he says.

Petersen says initially the roomwas ear-

marked for a cosmetic makeover but the

principal felt that the school needed more

space for the media room that would allow

them space for breakaway sessions.

The classes at Florida are rather big

and themedia lab needed to be a functional

space. Thiswas something theywere going

to do after we revamped the room, so it

made sense for us to do one job. To this end,

we broke through a wall to an adjacent

classroom, thus meeting their objective in

the process, he says.

He explains that the cost factor in a class-

room makeover in general is minimal.

It basically entails paint, palettes, tools,

design and willing bodies to make it hap-

pen. This project required a bit more than

that since there was also construction in-

volved.A revampof this nature can be any-

thing from R10 000 and R50 000, Petersen

says.

WeCan24 gave the two classrooms aWe-

Can24 facelift with paint from Tuis|Home

Magazine, as well as adding their signa-

ture palette walls and dcor to give the

rooms a more decorative and elegant look.

Part of the revamp also includes redoing

the floors with laminated flooring to add

to elegant feel and look.

I think its a room that fosters creativi-

ty. A space that young people can feel

proud of and no doubtwill generate a sense

of pride and ownership, not only of the

room but also of their school newspaper,

he says.

Petersen says this project also speaks of

opportunity for both learners and the

school as the editorial team now knows

that if they work hard and stay committed

to the project, WeCan24 will give them ac-

cess to all sorts ofmedia related opportuni-

ties that they otherwise would not be ex-

posed to.

Building and maintaining relation-

ships are key for us. To this end, we are al-

ways available to assist Florida and all the

other schools thatwe are involvedwith the

necessary assistance in this regard, he

says.

WeCan24 envisages the project to grow

more and hopes to have a few more part-

ners who will take up the challenge and

provide more schools with similar make-

overs. Companies who would like to join

forces can contact WeCan24 as they will

be revamping some more classrooms for

their 2016 Madiba Day project can send an

mail to [email protected].

Blanche says.

The money they raise will be used to pur-

chase props and a uniform and to cover her

travelling costs.

ane Mandean, n Paralimpiese atleet en

administratiewe assistent by Transnet

in Bellville, het Donderdag 2 Junie n

spesiale stoel by die Bellville-fietsrybaan

ontvang om voortaan aan kompetisies deel

te neem.

Ek het van 19 tot 24 Maart aan die nasio-

nale Paralimpiese Spele in Bloemfontein

deelgeneem en daar is ek afgegradeer na

klas F-34. Waar ek voorheen staande aan die

diskus, gewigstoot en spiesgooi kon deel-

neem, moes ek nou in n stoel sit om deel te

neem. Ekhet virMarthen duPreez,my inge-

nieursbestuurder, gebel en ges dat ek nou

laer gegradeer is en dat ek in n stoel, wat

ek op daardie tydstip nie gehadhet nie,moes

meeding. Hy het belowe dat hy n borg sal

kry sodat ek in ander kompetisies kan mee-

ding, s sy.

Jane is serebraalgestrem gebore, maar n

n motorongeluk in 2011 het sy haar rug en

bene beseer en is sy in n rystoel.

Sy neem sedert 12-jarige ouderdom aan

sport deel, terwyl sy by die Eros-skool in

Athlone was. Sy het Suid-Afrika al by drie

ParalimpieseSpeles verteenwoordig. In 1996

was sy in Atlanta, 2000 in Sydney en 2004 in

Athene as spanlid van Natalie du Toit.

Die SA mediese span word nie toegelaat

ommy te toets nie, net die mediese span van

die internasionale Paralimpiese Spele. Hul-

le was by die byeenkoms in Bloemfontein en

het my as klas F-34 gegradeer. Dit het bete-

ken dat ek in n stoel moes sit en ek moes

n stoel leen omaandie kompetisie inBloem-

fontein deel te neem, het sy bygevoeg.

Vir haar was dit n aanpassing om te sit

en sy was ook nie vertroud met die geleende

stoel nie. Haar afrigter, Zain Lamara, het

haar gehelp met die aanpassing, want sy

moes eers die aand meeding. Sy het toe in

die diskus n nuwe SA rekord van 11,5 m op-

gestel en ook n bronsmedalje in die gewig-

stoot op die stoel behaal. Jane se afrigter

het my fotos gewys van die soort stoele wat

paralimpiese veldatlete gebruik. Ek en Dirk

Kotze, die terreinagent, het besluit om die

stoel te maak en dit dan aan haar te skenk.

Sy het die stoel Donderdag met trots aan-

vaar en wil nou ander ook van die skenking

vertel. Die stoel wat ons gebou het, kan an-

der atlete ook help, het Du Preez ges.

Haar volgende nasionale kompetisie is in

September op Coetzenburg en in Oktober

neem sy weer aan die WP-kampioenskap,

ook op Coetzenburg, deel om te kwalifiseer

vir die volgende Spele.

A delicate operation in which a cancer-

ousprostatewas removedbycutting-edge

technology the Da Vinci robotic proce-

dure was broadcast live from theatre

last Thursday at the Mediclinic Durban-

ville.

The broadcasting event was attended

by medical students as well as journal-

ists.

This put the spotlight on mens health

in support of Mens Health Awareness

Month.

The operation was performed by Dr

Gawie Bruwer, an urologist, using the in-

novativeDaVinci robotic surgery, which

has been in use at theMediclinic Durban-

ville for the past year.

As the surgeon controls it, the robot op-

erates on thepatient. The robot translates

the surgeons hand movements outside

the patient in smaller, more precise

movements with its mechanical wrists

inside the patient through five small inci-

sions.

As these movements are three times

smaller on the inside, this removes any

tremor the surgeon might have.

The surgeonalsohas a ten timesmagni-

fication of the inside of the body on his

screen,which allowshim to see the small-

est veins and arteries to prevent exces-

sive bleeding.

This hospital is currently also the only

one offering this technology in the Medi-

clinic group in the Western Cape.

This method was introduced for com-

plex surgery such as prostatectomies due

to the minimally invasive approach.

However, nephrology and colorectal

surgeries are being performedworldwide

already with this method and it is only

a matter of time before these procedures

will also be performed at this hospital.

While open surgery patients require in-

tensive care before going to a regular

ward, more than 60% of patients who had

undergone the Da Vinci robotic surgery

are discharged the day after surgery.

Bruwer has performed more than 85 of

these robotic procedures.

The precision of the Da Vinci aids the

thorough removal of cancerous tissue

and offers the ability to perform nerve

sparing surgery. This enables a faster re-

turn of erectile function, as well as a bet-

ter chance for urinary continence, he

said.

This less invasive keyhole surgery also

reduces the risk of infection and the time

a patient requires a catheter.

Also, as part of Mens Health Aware-

ness Month, Pathcare, in collaboration

with Cansa, is offering men PSA level

tests at a reduced fee of R105 at any of

their Western Cape facilities.
