spect the meter. Botha says he told her

he needed to check it to ensure that as

a pensioner, she received a rebate of-

fered by the City of Cape Town.

He asked for a ladder and I gave it

to him. He stood on it and looked at the

box.He then toldme to get on the ladder

and lookat somethingwhile he checked

the plugs. Each time he toldme to count

to ten. I thought something was wrong,

but didnt say anything.

The man quickly left and Botha

locked the gate behind him. But she

soon noticed something was wrong in

her Farnworth Road home andwent in-

had a special meaning and he just

took them. I am sure he will go and sell

it.

While trying to comprehend what

had just happened, Bothawent through

her husbands belongings to see if any-

thing else was missing and noticed a

diving knife used by her husband had

been removed from its holster.

It was always there andmy husband

didntuse it fora long time.Just theoth-

er day I saw it had gathered dust and

after Benjamin left and I realised he

was just here to steal, I thought about

it. The knife had been taken out and I

think if I had disturbed him, he would

have used that knife. It has not been

must share this with TygerBurger.

Please alert other elderly people

about this. I believe thisman saw some-

one he could take advantage of. I hope

people will take note of this warning

and be more careful.

Milnerton Police confirmed the case

and said no similar incidents have been

reported. Police spokespersonWarrant

Officer Daphne OReilly advised resi-

dents to check the identification of any

person claiming to be an official before

allowing them into their home.

If it is an official person they must

have a form of identification. Also

phone the council or company to make

sure that there are people doing the

rounds to check on electricity meters.

Ensure that you have a good quality

safety gate installed at the entrance

door.

. Last week Kleinvlei police advised

elderly residents in Blackheath to be

aware of fake council and Eskomwork-

ers. They issued a warning in TygerBur-

gers Kuils River edition after two sen-

iors living in the same street were tar-

geted by fake inspectors.

These are the chilling

words of an elderly woman

from Rugby as she recounts the details

of how a man conned his way into her

home.

Betty Botha says her ordeal played

out over the last week and it all started

when she received an odd phone call

from a man named Benjamin.

Theman knew intimate details about

the elderly woman and asked her about

pottery she sold.

Bothas husband recently passed

away and she says the man told her he

was from the divisional council and

needed to check her electricity meter.

He randomly showed up at her

home on Monday 11 April

shortly after noon,

to her bedroom. To her horror she real-

ised all her late husbands clothes had

been stolen.

Bill died recently and I have not put

his things away. Its still fresh to me

and I just needed some time.Nowall his

clothes are gone, she says, fighting

back tears.

Upset she went to her bed and found

her jewellery box and a cardboard box

had been tampered with. Here she dis-

coveredmore than 10 rings and bangles

her husband gave her as gifts over the

years had been stolen.

He knew I liked watches and I had

just recently had all the batteries re-

placed. The man took it and now

they are gone. Each one

Taking back the streets

Neighbourhood Watch. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

S

ummer Greens patrollers are taking

back their suburb on step at a time.

With regular patrols, the Summer

Greens Neighbourhood Watch (SGNHW)

is making their presence felt among drug

dealers. TygerBurger joined patrollers on

Friday and while they walk through the

dark, cold streets, their warm welcome

makes everyone feel excited.

The night starts with a sign-in session

at the head office on Summer Greens

Drive, from where they make their way

to a home where thieves had just stolen

valuables. The owner was out celebrating

her graduation and neighbours quickly

rally to assist.

The neighbourhood watch distributes

pamphlets and provides residents with

tips on how to keep their homes safe.

Speaking during the patrol, Reagan

Croeser, who heads up the watchs opera-

tions, explains some of the main crime

concerns are drug dealing, house break-

ins and theft. Due to the rapid growth of

the suburb, Croeser says residents fight

an uphill battle with overcrowding espe-

cially in sectional title units.

People are coming and going all the

time, so it is hard to point out who the

troublemakers are. We can, however,

identify some of the known problematic

houses and crime hotspots.

During the walk, patrollers identify

various issues, and at the top of the list

are the left over needles used by drug us-

ers. During a search, patrollers collect the

needles and dispose of it safely.

In the area of open space which runs

along the railway line, SGNHW chairper-

son Gary Jacobs picks up several used

needles.Aspatrollers approachwith their

torches a woman appears out of the dark

and leaves in a hurry when she sees pa-

trollers. Jacobs explains there are con-

cerns about the safety of children in these

public spaces where the needles are

found. For this reason, the watch routine-

ly cleans up the area.

The group of friendly men and women

continue their patrol and when spotting

a potential safety risk, they alert home

owners. This includes informing people

they have left valuables in their vehicles

and in some cases they have left their ga-

rage doors open.

For Croeser and the group its all about

maintaining visibility, and he says while

they spend several hours away from their

families, thewatch believes in doing their

bit to keep their neighbourhood safe.

We have also started to plan activities

for our children at the neighbourhood

watch office while we are out on patrol.

We want to instil these values in our chil-

dren.

V If you would like to join the watch or would like

more information, call 072 874 1697.

Patrollers get ready to take to the streets.

Call for reading volunteers

Milnerton Public Library has started their

reading programme at Marconi Beam

Primary School and are in need of more

volunteers on a Monday or Tuesday from

09:00 to 11:00. For more information call

Elmarie Waltman on 021 444 0816.

Activities are planned to keep children busy while their parents patrol the suburb.

Milnerton police have revealed the identity

of a woman whose body was found dumped

in a bin in Phoenix last year.

The gruesome find sent shock waves

through the small community in October as

reports from eyewitnesses surfaced indicat-

ing the womans face had been mutilated.

The bin was found dumped in a field near

Taurus Road and at the time residents re-

ported a homeless man had found the wom-

an while scratching in the bin.

At the time, Milnerton police confirmed

the woman had injuries to her face. Last

week, police spokesperson Warrant Officer

Daphne OReilly confirmed they now know

who the woman was she was Amina Chin-

eye who was 26 years old at the time of her

death. OReilly further explained police

used the womans fingerprints to identify

her.

In 2012 she was arrested by Woodstock

police for drugs and she was on the system.

That is how we found a picture of her.

UrsulaMarshall, chairperson of the Phoe-

nix Ratepayers Association, says they are

glad the body has been identified.

Now her family can lay her to rest. There

was a lot of speculation about who she could

be, butwe are glad that police have been able

to conclude the matter.

Police are now looking for the womans

family and say the womans last known ad-

dress was Loop Street in the Cape Town

CBD.

The victim is not on the database for

missing persons.

V If you are able to provide police with information

about the womans family, call Sergeant Shaun van

der Heever on 021 528 3849.

Police identify dumped body

This is the face of Amina Chineye, the

woman whose body was discovered in a bin

in Phoenix last year.

Call to halt fireworks

MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A

ll eyes will be on the Blaauwberg Sub-

council this week to see whether or

not Table View residents can expect

fireworks along the beachfront during 2016.

This follows a recent recommendation by

theward 23 committee that no site along the

beachfront from Dolphin Beach to Melk-

bosstrand be deemed as suitable for the dis-

charge of fireworks on Guy Fawkes Day,

Diwali and New Years Eve.

In the last year, residents living along the

beachfront have cried foul about the desig-

nation of the fireworks site near the old

tourism office. This was based on the City

of Cape Town safety criteria which among

others stipulate that the designated site

must be at least 500m from a petrol depot.

Due to the filling station at Marine Circle

and the close proximity of homes, residents

have challenged the municipalitys deci-

sion.

This also prompted a motion by ward 23

committee member Mandy Da Matta call-

ing for the site to be removed. The motion

was first tabled in November but voted as

not urgent by the committee and fire-

workswere allowed onNewYears Eve. The

motion then stood over.

Shortly before this, theCity receiveda let-

ter from De Abreu and Cohen Attorneys

who acted on behalf of the Table View Rate-

payers Association (TVRA) and the Waves

EdgeCommunity Forumoutlining their ob-

jections. In addition to highlighting the

safety criteria set out by the municipality,

they outlined the regulations of the Explo-

sives Act of 2003.

According to the minutes of the latest

ward committee meeting, the motion did

not appear on the January ward committee

agenda due to an administrative oversight.

It did, however appear on the March agen-

da. According to the minutes, Blaauwberg

subcouncil manager Peter Deacon apolo-

gised for the oversight and proposed that

the contents of Da Mattas motion be noted

and in addition that no designated site be

allowed on the beachfront.

In view of the numerous objections re-

ceived from the immediate surrounding

owners/occupiers of properties, a petition

submitted to the office of the ombudsman

and the negative media reports received in

respect of the identified and demarcated

site/s along the beachfront from Dolphin

Beach to Melkbosstrand that NO area/s

along the said beachfront be identified and/

or demarcated for the setting off of fire-

works by the public duringGuyFawkes, Di-

wali and New Years Eve festivities, he

says in the minutes.

Theward 23 committee resolved their rec-

ommendation in accordance with Deacons

proposal and in addition resolved that in

the event of this being accepted by the sub-

council, there will be no operational plans

in place by the City to control, manage and

assist in the event of any injuries or damage

in respect of the beach area from Dolphin

Beach to Melkbosstrand being used by the

public for the setting off of fireworks.

Responding to questions posed by Tyger-

Burger,Deacon says a report containing the

motion and recommendation from theward

23 committee will be considered by council-

lors tomorrow (Thursday).

Asked whether the subcouncil can reject

the recommendation, he says: Yes, the sub-

council can reject theward committees rec-

ommendation. It is however difficult to say

or indicate on which grounds, but it can

surely first establish from the relevant line

departments what the consequences could

be if an area is not identified and/or demar-

cated for that purpose.

TVRA chairperson Leon Alhadeff says

they are ecstatic at the recommendation

and hope it will be accepted.

VDo you think fireworks should be banned from the

beachfront between Dolphin Beach and Melkboss

trand? Tell us why and send a letter to briewe@

tygerburger.co.za.

Theward 23 committee has proposed that the designation of this site along the Table View beachfront

be removed as a designated site for the discharging of fireworks. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

Burglar caught redhanded

A man was arrested while he was breaking

into Blue Flame Gas and Hardware Distrib-

utors in Voortrekker Road early on

Monday morning.

Parow Police spokesperson Lieutenant

Kevin Williams elaborates: We responded

to a business break-in in progress com-

plaint. On arrival we observed that the

burglar bars were forced open and the

window broken. We moved into the

premises and found a 40-year-old male

suspect sitting on the floor in the busi-

ness.

The police apparently caught him while

he was still packing stolen property into

blue bags.

They found hardware tools in his

possession to the value of R1 295.

The suspect was placed in custody and

arrested for burglary.

He will appear in the Bellville Magis-

trates Court on Wednesday (today), says

Williams.

person following the resignation of Karen

Visagie, was voted as the new chairperson.

Dean Williams was voted in as the vice

chairperson, Visagie as the projects coordi-

nator, and Cynthia Ludziya as the new secre-

tary. AndrewMentor will remain as the trea-

surer and Mike Lippert remains the public

relations officer.

new chairperson says its business as usual.

Among some of the top priorities is the com-

pletion of the Community Safety Plan. She

says they have already received input from

neighbourhood watches in Brooklyn and

Tygerhof.

Wewill also bemeetingwith all the neigh-

bourhood watches to discuss their concerns

and needs to see howwe can assist. From the

feedback we have from Brooklyn and Tyger-

hof we can see that the main crime concerns

are drug dealing and contact crimes.

In various community meetings, crime-

fighters have voiced their concerns about po-

lice visibility. Asked about the CPFs view,

Lippert says while they cannot justify this,

it was important to note that police resources

is a national problem.

What we are excited about is that Milner-

ton police will receive a substantial boost in

2017 with 60 new officers.

She says the CPF is serious about tackling

safety issues andurges thepublic to come for-

ward with concerns.

When there are issues, we will be there

to assist as best we can. While many take to

social media to voice their dissatisfaction

when an incident happens they do need to

contact us and provide as much information

as possible. Things to take note of include the

location, time, date and description of the of-

ficer so we can help trace who is responsible

and hold police accountable.

day 13 April in Justin Street. Police spokes-

personConstableLorencial Johnson says the

phone as well as other belongings and

stabbed in her hand by two unknown men.

Maitlandpolice rushed to the scene to find

a very traumatised victim of this ruthless

act. The officers attended to her complaint

and immediately started asking around as to

get possible names from the community.

The case was registered and the Maitland

search for the suspects. Just five hours later

they arrested the twomen aged 23 and 25who

ts that timeof theyearwhenresidents

across Cape Town rally to have their

say on the municipalitys draft bud-

get.

The City of Cape Town has revealed

their proposed expenditure for the

2016/2017 financial year whilemayor Pa-

tricia de Lille has embarked on various

public participation meetings and most

recently discussed the municipalitys

plans with residents living in the

Blaauwberg Subcouncil area.

Speaking during a public meeting in

Table View last week, De Lille explained

the Citys budget is allocated in accord-

ance with the municipalitys five strate-

gic pillars, namely Opportunity City,

SafeCity, CaringCity, InclusiveCity and

Well Run City. In the past three financial

years, the City has used the majority

funds in the first pillar, Opportunity

City.HereR61,5 billionhas been spent on

attracting large events and business,

provision and maintenance of water and

electricity equipment and infrastruc-

ture, looking after resources such as

cleandrinkingwater and effective public

transport systems.

According to her presentation the allo-

cations for the next financial year across

the five pillars include R24,9bn for the

Opportunity City, R3bn for the Safe City,

R4,7bn for the Caring City, R2,6bn for the

Inclusive City and R5,5bn for the Well

Run City.

The mayor also revealed some of the

proposed projects for the Blaauwberg

Subcouncil area covering wards 4, 23, 29,

32, 104 and 107.

On the list of capital projects, R200 000

is allocated towards the installation of

CCTV cameras, R50 000 for sports equip-

ment in Joe Slovo Park, R180 000 for a

skatepark inSummerGreens,R60 000 for

traffic calming measures in Summer

Greens and R150 000 for the upgrading of

the beachfront from Dolphin Beach to

Eden on the Bay.

Other capital projects include R150 000

for a skatepark atDolphinBeach,R50 000

for signage inpublic open spaces inPark-

lands and the upgrading of green spaces

in Dunoon.

De Lilles presentation also highlights

the operating projects budget

which includes R100 000 for

the cleaning of typha in Sun-

ningdale and other various

other social programmes for

seniors, abused women and

vulnerable groups.

Looking back on projects

over the last financial year,

she highlighted the upgrade

of the Atlantis Cemetery, the

Pella Park development and

the Dunoon Spraypark.

The City has also now ex-

tended the comment period

on the proposed budget to

Friday 29 April.

Deputy mayor Ian Neilson

says by allowing more time

on the draft R40,7bn budget,

they hope it will give more

residents more time to scru-

tinise the document and to

contribute their insights and

suggestions.

We have had to look very closely at

balancing the Citys operational needs

with the realities on the ground and the

broader context in which we are work-

ing.Wehave lookedatwherewe can trim

the fat, work more efficiently, get more

value for money, and also alleviate the

pressure on our residents where at all

possible.

The Citys draft budget, including bud-

get-related policies and the proposed tar-

iffs and property rates, is available at

subcouncil offices and libraries. Interest-

ed parties are invited to submit com-

ments to the CityManager by sending an

e-mail to city.manager@capetown.gov

.za by 29 April. It can also be viewed on-

line.

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

Being a criminal in a technological world

is getting harder by the day as a new cloud-

based and web and cellphone app is about

to hit the street.

A local IT company, Computer Guyz, de-

signed a world first android app named

PatrolMan which will link neighbourhood

watches with its members, the public and

the police. SMS alerts will

keep everyone instantly

aware of what is going on in

their neighbourhood suspi-

cious people and vehicleswill

be circulated and incidents

will be highlighted.

One of the developers,

Craig Pedersen, elaborates:

The full version of the app

will be free until the end of

the year. We already have 100

projects and 6 500 subscrib-

ers. It just keeps growing!

The app is the brainchild of

Pedersen. Initially he and his

colleagueswanted to design it

for their local neighbourhood

watch in Milnerton, but the

cost and time involved saw

them broadening their hori-

zons nationally. Subscribers

are now from all over South

Africa.

According to him all neigh-

bourhood watch exco mem-

bers and patrollers will have

access to the full app for free

even beyond December. People who sit

in their homes those who claim it is too

cold to patrol the streets will pay R120 a

year to use the Lite version. This version

will include the news feed and the SOS func-

tion.

Pedersen is no newcomer to neighbour-

hood watches, having project managed the

Milnerton CrimeWatch for the past decade.

Its a product were really proud of and

we have been taken aback by the huge up-

take from watches countrywide. Theres a

core of 10-12 peoplewhomanage and run the

project, generally aided by 20 to 30 patrol-

lers who actively walk or drive patrols in

the area. Beyond this are a few hundred ac-

tive and interested members. Our app ca-

ters to all of these groups.

Patrollers capture incident information

and photos while on patrol. That informa-

tion is in turn stored on a web

server for monthly manage-

ment reports.

At the same time, if a high

priority incident is recorded,

an SMS notification is sent to

the relevant street coordina-

tor and project manager.

Data usage is nominal and

patrollers have the peace of

mind of being able to summon

help by activating the SOS

feature which will send out

three SMS messages with

their GPS coordinates. A

built-in hotspot map shows

patrollers where incidents

are most commonly recorded

in their area.

The SOS command will

SMS someones GPS coordi-

nates and an SOS message to

three predetermined num-

bers. These can be the NHW

patrol phone and friends or

neighbours.

From a technology stand-

point, the app is different to

the norm. While data capturing happens at

app level, the real magic is behind the

scenes in the web-based reporting and con-

trol. We believe we have something unique

and tailored to the South African market.

The IOS version is expected to be released

middle May.

V Download the app directly from the Playstore or

go to www.patrolman.co.za.

The app has numerous

features and developers

are planning groundbreak

Table View Football Club (TVFC) is one step

closer to their goal of building a new deck.

This is thanks to a donation by TATA

Paarden Eiland, who donated a club car and

R30 000 towards the clubs fundraising ef-

forts.

Speaking at the handover, Ronnie Phipps

of TATA says his son has been in the club

for the last 20 years and each week he sees

how families come together to support their

children.

They are a family club giving so much

back, andwewanted to do something to help

them on their way.

Club manager Chris Lewis says they are

grateful for the donation and need to raise

R100 000 for their new deck. The deck will

be placed upstairs of the club house with a

braai area and bar, giving parents a better

view of the fields.

The club also assists young boys from Du-

noon by providing the funds to have them

travel to the club and providing them with

@monique_duval

I

ts chaotic here; everyone is

scared.These are thewordsof

a frightened community lead-

er in Dunoon amid violent protests

which have resulted in the arrest of

12 people.

The protests, which kicked off over

the weekend, relate to ongoing con-

cerns about housing but community

leaders say those looking inhaveno

idea of how the majority of residents

are suffering.

According to a report from Milner-

ton police, criminals have joined the

protest and have started to target spa-

za shops owned by foreign nationals.

Potsdam Road has been closed and

residents say they are prevented from

going to work and taking their chil-

dren to school.

They explain the issue arose last

week when men from Khayelitsha

started to rile residents to protest

over housing. The men led a march

downPotsdamRoad onFriday 8April

to the City of Cape Town. Traffic was

diverted as the group made their way

to the Century City train station and

social media feeds buzzed with warn-

ings to motorists.

At the time concerned residents in

Dunoon called TygerBurger saying

they were being held hostage by

trouble makers.

This week, police spokesperson

WarrantOfficerDaphneOReilly says

opportunistic criminals have now

joined and on Monday commenced

with looting Somali shops.

The community leader, who spoke

on condition of anonymity, says on

Monday several propertieswere dam-

aged. They are attacking all the for-

eigners now and we dont know what

to do. Its a desperate situation and

these individuals are ruthless. They

damage anything and attack anyone.

If they see you with a bag going to

work, you will be targeted.

She says while housing is a major

issue in Dunoon as the cold winter

months loom, not everybody agrees

with the violence. For this reason a

peace march was hosted on Monday

and community leaders will soon

meet to discuss possible solutions.

You see, housing is a problem.

Winter will come and people will

sleeponbeds filledwithwaterbut this

is not the way to address concerns.

People lookingatDunoonmustun-

derstand that there is a problem but

these guys are troublemakers and are

doing damage to our community. Peo-

ple are being fooled by these guys and

everyone is scared to speak up be-

cause you will be targeted.

We all have families to protect and

we are scared.

Meanwhile various City law en-

forcement agencies can be seen each

morning along Potsdam Road, Mali-

bongwe Drive and the N7. Motorists

leaving Table View have been able to

access these roads each morning.

However, Maycomember for safety

and security JPSmith says alongwith

the protest in Dunoon, officials are

dealing with three other protests

which are soaking up all their resour-

ces. This is interfering with our

work in communities and these pro-

tests are syphoning our resources.

Criminals target spazas

Some of the damage caused during the protest in

Dunoon.

Speak in confidence

Learn to speak confidently at the Sie-

mens Toastmasters community club.

They invite people from the community

to learn public speaking.

The next meeting is on Thursday

21 April from from 18:00 to 20:00 at

Siemens House in Tygerberg Office Park

in Uys Krige Drive.

Entry costs R25.

Booking is essential for security access.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

W

idespread concerns were raised by

residents following the second reg-

istration weekend, prompting the

DA to investigate.

In a letter sent from the DA head office

to allward councillors lastweek, itwas stat-

ed that the IEC (Independent Electoral

Commission) had confirmed that they have

not removed a single voter or information

of a voter, from the voters roll.

According to the IEC a voter who has

been verified and placed on the voters roll,

cannot be removed without an audit trail

indicating who removed that voter and the

reasons for the removal.

Only a voter who has applied for de-reg-

istration in terms of section 10 of the Elect-

oral Act, may be removed completely from

the voters roll, the letter stated.

Chaos ensued after an SMSwent out from

the IEC to about 5 million voters, request-

ing voters to update their address informa-

tion. Voters became concerned about their

status on the voters roll and this panic in-

creased after reports in themainstreamme-

dia when Glen Mashinini, Chairperson of

the IEC, warned that more than two-thirds

of the voters roll could be disenfranchised

due to the absence of sufficient address

information.

TygerBurger was flooded with com-

plaints from readers regarding the issue, of

which somewere escalated toward council-

lors.

In most of these complaints, readers say

their information could not be found on vot-

ers lists at various voting stations.

Carin Brynard, ward councillor for areas

in Brackenfell and Kraaifontein, last week

said there was still much uncertainty

around registration issues and that it was

of the utmost importance that residents ob-

tain the correct information.

Following the events that unfolded and

the concerns raised by voters, the DA also

requested an updated voters roll from the

IEC to ensure accuracy of information con-

tained in the voters roll.

The DA undertakes to report and follow

up on all matters of possible corruption or

irregularities brought to their attention,

the letter stated.

Important answers

Answers to important questions voters

might have:

V I registered during the weekend of

5/6 March, but my information is not

updated yet?

The IEC is currently experiencing a back-

log with the capturing of data. If your infor-

mation is still outdated on the IEC website

please contact the DAs call centre on

0861 22 55 32 to assist.

V If I didnot updatemyaddress during

one of the two registration weekend,

will I still be able to vote?

Nobody may be taken off the voters role,

irrespective of the address or lack of an ad-

dress on the voters roll. Currently the IEC

has confirmed that all people currently on

the voters roll will be able to vote on 3 Au-

gust.

The Constitutional Court will on 9 May

hear arguments regarding the addresses of

voters on the voters roll and the impact

that will have on the validity of the voters

roll.

V Can I still update my address infor-

mation or re-register for the Local Gov-

ernment Elections for 2016?

If you would like to re-register in a new

voting district or update your information,

you may do so by taking your ID document

to your nearest IEC office during office

hours.

VHow would I know where my new

Voting District is?

You can check if you are registered in the

correct voting district on www.elec-

tions.org.za. Alternatively, send an SMS

with your ID number to 32810 or call

0861 22 55 32.

barefoot, this simple and care-

free action doesnt represent

freedom for others even more

so in the wet winter months in

Cape Town, when the social and

economic divides in our society

are evenmoreapparent in imag-

es of those who have and those

who dont.

In the community of Ocean

View in False Bay, it is not un-

common to see kids walking to

school with broken, gaping

shoes or even no shoes at all.

On Freedom Day, Wednesday

27 April, the Sons of Thunder

MC will drive change in this re-

gard in Ocean View with sup-

port from the larger biking com-

munity, their collective net-

work of local businesses, family

Soles 4 Souls school shoe drive.

The aim of this function is to

hand over a minimum of 500

pairs of sponsored school shoes

to learners who attend Marine

winter sets in.

Bikers around Cape Town

will ride in solidarity to create

awareness of children in need

who, despite their circumstan-

Soles for souls

A duo from Dunoon appeared in

court last week after they were

nabbed with an unlicensed firearm.

According to a report fromMilner-

ton police the two men aged 25 and

28 were arrested in the Siyahlala in-

formal settlement.

Police spokesperson Warrant Offi-

cer Daphne OReilly says officers re-

ceived a tip-off from residents and

proceeded to search the mens home

where they found an unlicensed fire-

arm and two rounds of ammunition

hidden behind a speaker. The fire-

arm, known as a Baby Brown pistol,

was handed in for evidence.

This is a good example ofwhat po-

lice can achieve with the assistance

of the community. Management ap-

plauds officers for their dedication to

root out criminal elements in our

communities.

In anunrelated case,Milnerton po-

lice also arrested two people found in

possession of suspected stolen goods

in Rugby.

OReilly says on Monday 11 April

at about 13:00 officers searched a

property in Nahum Street following

a tip-off and found three flat screen

televisions, various cellphones and

bags.

When questioned, she explains the

two people could not provide proof of

where they obtained the valuables

Milnerton police have issued a

warning about scamsters oper-

ating at two ATMs in Loxton

Road.

Following various reports

about card swopping and rob-

beries at the ATM banking area

for Standard Bank and FNB in

Loxton Road, the area has been

identified as a crime hotspot.

Police spokesperson Daphne

OReilly says victims are over-

powered when drawing money

and says an analysis of the re-

ports indicate these incidents

mostly occur over weekends

and after business hours.

One suspect distracts the

victim, while the other steals

their bank card. During the rob-

beries, no weapons were visible

and the ongoings at these ATMs

havebeenhappening for the last

three months.

In addition, Loxton Road has

also been identified as a hotspot

area for theft from motor vehi-

cle and theft of motor vehicles,

specifically at the parking bays

at apartment blocks.

OReilly advises residents to

be aware of their surroundings

and to not carry orwithdraw ex-

cessive amounts of cash.

If you are confronted by rob-

bers, always signify your inten-

tion to cooperate but avoid eye

contact. Respond promptly to

requests and do not act aggres-

sively. Remember your life is

worth more than your valua-

bles.

Alert over scamsters at ATMs

Wheel chair graduate: Julian Peters (27) of the Eric Miles

Cheshire Home where he receives daily care since 2010, broke his

neck in a diving accident at the age of 17. This left him confined

to a wheelchair and his dreams of becoming a professional

cricketer were shattered. Julian was in Grade 10 at the time of

the accident and did not give up his schooling. He completed his

matric and went further to do his tertiary studies. Through hard

work and dedication he completed his national diploma in human

resources management and graduated last night week from the

CPUT. Here he is with Alet Bosman who manages the home.

S

trek voor julle begin, kom die

instruksie van my vrou.

Nee wat, dis net vyf kilometers,

dink ek.

Dt was egter toe n die geval nie.

Sien, tussendeur die vyf kilometers oor

heuwels, deur wingerde en oor water,

was hindernisse obstacles soos die

Engelsman dit noem. Obstacles wat di

vyf kilometers vir my en kollega Brenden

Ruiter soos 50 kilometers laat voel het.

Honderde het Sondagoggend vroeg aan

die gewilde The Grind Obstacle Course

Race saam met ons kom deelneem.

Almal van hulle is fiks, vars en slagge-

reed vir wat die organiseerders en

Moeder Natuur hul kant toe mag gooi.

Eerlik gesproke, ons tweetjies was nie

voorbereid nie. Totaal en al nie.

Kort nadat die toeter geblaas het en ons

op ons pad gestuur is, was albei van ons

al pootuit. Daar word gekla oor n rug,

seer voete en albei van ons hyg na asem.

Kom, kom,

kom! roep een van

die marshalls. Dit

help egter nie. Die

pyn is te erg en

ons longe het nog

suurstof nodig.

Hardloop julle

maar, dag ek. Ons

sien julle aan die

voorkant. In my

terwyl ons stadig

stap en klets dink

ek ek moes seker gestrek het.

Verder af in die wedloop moet ons by

n bult op. Onse eerste obstacle. Daar l

nog 19 van hulle voor!

Elke man vir homself, dink ek terwyl

ek my kollega agterlaat. Aan die bokant

sluit hy egter kort daarna by my op die

kruin aan.

Ek kyk voor my uit. Dis net die begin.

Voor ons wag daar nog duine om oor te

hardloop, vraghouers om oor te klouter,

ng bulte om uit te klim, emmers water

wat ons moet ronddra, sandsakke wat ons

moet optel, sakke vol stene wat ons moet

lig, yskoue water waarin ons moet klim,

toue waarop ons ons bewerige bene moet

balanseer, modder waardeur ons moet

kruip en bande in die ysige damwater

waaroor ons ook hande-viervoet moet

beweeg voor daar by die eindpunt

uitgekom word.

Ons albei maak dit!

Hoera! kom die gejuig van ons

support team ons vrouens en kind.

Ons het dit geniet, en het nou n

spierwit medalje om vir ons vrouens en

mas te wys. Maar ons het ook n waarde-

volle les geleer: Strek jou bene. Strek dit

voor jy hardloop of draf en as jy onfiks is

soos ons, selfs stap. Richard Roberts

Housing protest sparks

concern (TB, 13 April) refers.

I live in Dunoon in a backyard,

renting a hokkie. What is

happening is a sorry state of

affairs.

As much as I would love to

own a house one day, I do not

agree with the housing

protest that is currently taking

place.

I hear stories about a man

from Khayelitsha who belongs

to a certain political party and

is the leader. That, to me,

changes everything. Its a

political housing protest,

whatever you may call it. I am

not a politician, in fact I

dont like politics but I feel

sorry for the poor people being

used by politicians for their

own agendas. The people must

wake up the RDP is dead and

buried; theres nothing for free.

My 20c advice for the

housing department is

allocate the land, build low

cost houses, introduce a rent

to own scheme whereby the

tenant would pay a fixed

amount for a number of years

then the house is his or hers.

I am sure most of the people

would dive head-first for an

opportunity like that.

I regularly use Penny Pin-

I can relate to this story as I

Dont destroy our

local business

Our organisation has had three

separate incidents of abduction

in the last week the one being

a 12-year-old girl, an eight-year-

old girl and a 13-year-old boy.

We have to teach our chil-

dren how to defend themselves

by fighting off any potential

abductor in certain circumstan-

ces. This is not getting better

it is part of the criminal

activity in the country. If

reported, the authorities can

work out the hotspots.

Put it on social media

immediately and warn everyone

in your community. Protecting

our children is our priority.

Dont make the pointers too

long and too much, as children

can never remember what to do

in situations like this. Keep it

short and sweet like: Stop,

Drop, Kick, Scream. One

cannot pick up a heavy child if

they are wriggling and scream-

ing, and it will get attention.

Roelof Coertzen het die Dots

Learning Centre n diens

aangebied wat in die beste

belang van sy kind was, maar

dit lyk of hierdie belange geen

rol speel in die Wes-Kaapse

regering se veldtog om soge-

naamde onwettige skole te

sluit nie. In Regulasie 341/2011

van die Wes-Kaapse regering,

onderteken deur minister

Donald Grant, word die reg op

onafhanklike onderwysinstel-

lings so ingeperk dat dit bykans

onmoontlik is vir private skole

om te registreer, wat alternatie-

we vorme van onderwys

aanbied en poog om die unieke

behoeftes van kinders te

akkommodeer. In 2014 het die

Wes-Kaapse regering gepoog om

tuisonderwys in die provinsie te

onderdruk met n drakoniese

nuwe beleid.

As dit nie was vir die optrede

van tuisonderwys-verenigings

en die Pestalozzi-trust nie, sou

minister Grant dit moontlik

reggekry het om die Wes-Kaap

te transformeer in die mees

onvriendelike provinsie vir

tuisonderwys. Dis hoog tyd dat

private skole hulle ook verset

teen die aksies van die Wes-

Kaapse regering, wat kinders en

private onderwysinstellings se

grondwetlike regte stelselmatig

wegneem.

night (in the flower bed) where

This I find rather odd.

A young lady who is an

employee at the establishment,

told me that she loves her job,

and she supports her entire

family financially. Thats why

my concern is so great. I think

that we cannot afford to see

any more businesses close

down. Our economy is already

so fragile, and these disruptive

individuals should not interfere

with our economy. They must

be stopped in their tracks.

I know these people read the

newspaper, so I ask them, as a

mother, please dont traumatise

these people. Just like you,

many are down on their luck,

and also struggling to bring

home a bread. Dont destroy

H

undreds of competitors em-

braced the grind at Hill-

crest Wine and Olive Farm

onSaturdayandSunday.The inau-

gural event is called The Grind

and attracts proper athletes, corpo-

rate fun-seekers, fitness enthusi-

asts and run-of-the-mill adventur-

ers to complete an obstacle course.

There were different categories

that varied from 1km to 8km

some containing seven obstacles

and others 30.

Splashing, running, climbing,

hanging and pulling were just

some of the copious grinding that

will undoubtedly become bigger

and better, year on year.
