    GUN: PERFECT MATCH

    Some smart police work

    ANDR BAKKES

    W

    hen the prison cell gate slammed

    shut on Nomveliso Buwa (31) and

    Phumzile Prince Mnyiphika (38),

    their thoughtsmighthavedrfitedback to the

    fateful day they decided another person

    should die.

    They might have wondered how their life

    could have turned out had they not con-

    spired to kill Du Noons Simpiwe Jali.

    Prison

    Before the trial at the Cape Town High

    Court, which concluded this Friday, they

    might have wondered how on earth they

    were caught.

    In the end,when the judge sentenced them

    both to 20 years imprisonment for conspira-

    cy to murder, they would have known that

    they could not outfox Milnertons Serious

    andViolentCrimeUnit (SVC) in general and

    Capt Murphy Papa in particular.

    Forensics

    TygerBurger spoke to Papa on Tuesday to

    hear how he solved the case, which at first

    seemed an impossible task.

    On 1December 2010 at 09:00weheard that

    one man and two women were shot in Du

    Noon. The deceased were shot execution

    style each with a bullet in the head. There

    were no eyewitnesses, explains Papa.

    A handbag belonging to Buwa was found

    in the room of one of the victims (Jali).

    Papa searched the bag thoroughly and dis-

    covered a traffic fine inside.

    He continues: Just a few days before a po-

    liceman was shot, and as it turned out, he

    was the one who issued the fine that I found

    in the handbag.

    I decided to see if the cartridge on the

    murder scenematched the one thatwasused

    in the first incident. It was confirmed that

    the same 9 mm pistol was used in both inci-

    dents.

    Buwa was approached and then told the

    authorities that she owed Jali R2 600. She ap-

    parently lent her bank card to her friend

    so that he could go drawmoney from her ac-

    count.

    Interrogation

    At that stage Papa had no proof that this

    witness could be a suspect.

    During her interrogation much later it

    was revealed that she was, at the time of the

    triple homicide, hiding Mnyiphika at her

    home.

    Does the name Baillons crake

    mean anything to you? If it does

    then the fact that it was spotted

    in Intaka Island at Century City

    during last week would be

    wonderful news. If it doesnt, then

    all you need to know is that it is

    a very rare and secretive bird,

    which was last spotted there in

    the 90s. The news hit Twitter and

    Facebook, went viral and soon

    hundreds of infatuated birdlovers

    from as far as Johannesburg,

    descended on to the bird sanctu

    ary. The gates opened an hour

    andahalf earlier every morning

    and repeated sights of the bird

    enticed even more to flock to

    ground zero. Alan Liebenberg of

    Office elaborates: It is a very

    small and solitary creature and

    very rare and is usually found near

    the coastline or in marshy areas.

    FROM PAGE 1

    According to Papa, Mnyiphika was

    guilty of shooting the policeman in

    a road rage incident just a few days

    earlier.

    Buwa and Mnyiphika then hired

    a hitman to kill her friend Jali.

    The hitman used Mnyiphikas

    gun, hence the matching cartridg-

    es.

    While the investigationwas ongo-

    ing, Buwa fled to East London

    where she was arrested for fraud.

    Says Papa: Many accusations

    were made against her for accept-

    ing money from people under the

    pretence of finding them jobs. This

    promise of employment never ma-

    terialised however. She was

    charged with fraud in East London

    and found guilty.Me andLtColNel-

    son Ngubelenga went to East Lon-

    don and brought her back to stand

    trial.

    Many months of legal action fi-

    nally concluded on Friday when

    both she and Mnyiphika were sen-

    tenced.

    Even though the unknown hit-

    man is still at large, this is a huge

    boon for the SVC.

    ConcludesPapa: I couldnothave

    done itwithout the help of everyone

    involved. I also have a special word

    of congratulations to the states ad-

    vocate Cedric Tikgopo and then ul-

    timately, I want to thank my Heav-

    enly Father. Without His guidance

    I could not have done it. Capt Murphy Papa.

    Nuwe waardasies vir al 850 000 eiendom-

    me in die Stad Kaapstad word van 1 Julie

    gebruik vir die berekening van eien-

    domsbelasting.

    Eiendomseienaars sal van 14 Februa-

    rie af kennisgewings ontvang oor wat die

    nuwe waardasie van hul eiendomme is.

    Di waardasies is gebaseer op die waarde

    van eiendomme op 1 Julie 2012. Altesame

    600 000 residensile eiendomme is ge-

    waardeer. Dit sluit nie die sowat 15 000

    deeltitel-eiendomme in nie.

    Volgens Leonore van der Walt, stads-

    raadslid vir wyk 2, sal die nuwe eiendom-

    swaardasies van 1 Julie vanjaar gebruik

    word om eiendomsbelasting vas te stel.

    Dit beteken nie dat eiendomsbelasting

    met dieselfde persentasie gaan toeneem

    as wat die onderskeie eiendomme in

    waarde toegeneem het nie, het sy ges.

    Die stadsraad begroot wat die eiendoms-

    belasting vir die nuwe boekjaar van 1 Ju-

    lie 2013 tot 30 Junie 2014 sal wees.

    Eiendomsbelasting word hiervolgens

    op die nuwe eiendomswaardes bereken.

    Eiendomseienaars wat nie saamstem

    met die nuwe waardasies nie, kry van-

    jaar twee en n half maande tyd om be-

    swaar aan te teken. Ingevolge wetgewing

    moet eiendomseienaars 30 dae tyd vir be-

    sware gegeeword. Die beswaartydperk is

    van 21 Februarie tot 30 April.

    Die nuwe waardasies sal op die Stad se

    webtuiste beskikbaar wees. Geen beswa-

    re wat na 30 April ontvang word, mag in-

    gevolge wetgewing deur die munisipali-

    teit oorweeg word nie, waarsku Leonore.

    Eienaars van eiendomme sal van 14 Fe-

    bruarie deur die munisipaliteit oor die

    nuwewaardasies ingeligword.Daar is al-

    tesaam 17 munisipale punte waar die be-

    sware ingedienkanword.Diemunisipale

    geboue in Parow en Bellville en die bur-

    gersentrum in Kaapstad is van hulle.

    Indien beswaar gemaak word teen n

    waardasie, word die belasting op die nu-

    wewaardasie gehef totdat die beswaar af-

    gehandel is.

    Daar kan beswaar gemaak word teen

    enigiets waarmee die eienaar nie saam-

    stem nie. Selfs huurders kan beswaar

    maak. Iemand kan ook by n munisipale

    kantoor beswaar maak teen die waarda-

    sie van n eiendom in sy omgewing.

    Indien n eiendom uit die waardasie-

    rol weggelaat is, word eiendomsbelasting

    terugwerkend van 1 Julie 2013 af bereken

    sodra dit reggestel word.

    Besware teen die waardasies van Ju-

    lie 2006 het twee jaar geneemomafgehan-

    del te word en die besware teen Julie 2009

    se waardasies een jaar. Hierdie keer mik

    ons na ses maande om besware af te han-

    del.

    Elke detail wat op die vorms gevra

    word, moet ingevul word, anders kan n

    deurdagte evaluasie van die besware nie

    gemaak word nie. Ons het n regsmening

    hieroor ingewin. Dit is belangrik. Enigie-

    mand wat sukkel om die beswaarvorms

    in te vul, sal deur munisipale amptenare

    gehelp word. Eiendomseienaars kan ook

    insae kry in die verkooppryse van eien-

    domme in hul omgewing, s Leonore.

    TANDYLEE MARINUS

    Sea rescue personnel had to assist a canoe-

    ist on Monday afternoon after he ran into

    trouble along the Milnerton coast.

    Christiaan Beyers (23) from Loevenstein

    suffered hypothermia after his canoe sunk

    close to Woodbridge Island.

    Frantically waving his arms and shout-

    ing for help, Beyers caught the attention of

    a person sitting on his balcony who called

    in the distress call to the NSRI.

    Station commander Rhine Barnes of the

    National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) in

    Melkbosstrand, said they were alerted to

    the situation at about 14:30. After dispatch-

    ing the rescue boat they foundBeyers adrift

    half a kilometrenorth of theMinerton light-

    house between the Sunset Links Golf

    course.

    We arrived at the scene and Christiaan

    was very hypothermic and cold, but unin-

    jured.

    Michael Mcdonald (19) who was playing

    golf at the Milnerton Golf course also no-

    ticed Beyers predicament and rushed to

    the beach to help.

    Medical personnel arrived at the scene

    shortly after and transported Beyers to the

    Milnerton Mediclinic. He was discharged

    on Monday evening.

    Barnes confirmed that Beyers had forgot-

    ten to insert a bung, which is a type of

    drainage plug in the hull of the canoe.

    Barnes said although it is an uncommon

    mistake, it just illustrates how important it

    is to have the necessary equipment.

    Whats important is that he did have a

    life jacket on but should have had flares

    which would have helped a lot, Barnes

    said.

    Healso advised otherwatersport enthusi-

    asts to inform friends or family when they

    are going out onto the ocean.

    Tell them how long youwill be andwhat

    time you are expected to be back, this will

    allow them to notify emergency services if

    something happens, he explained.

    V The Melkbosstrand NSRI is currently recruiting

    new members from ages 16 and up. Anyone inter

    ested in joining can contact Rhine Barnes on

    Approximately 100 Joe Slovo residents in-

    vadedanopen field belonging toOldMutual

    on Thursday evening with the intention of

    claiming the land for themselves.

    Milnerton police acted quickly and

    nipped the invasion in the bud.

    Spokesperson, W/O Daphne Dell, con-

    firms that a case of trespassing was opened

    by Old Mutual, but to date no arrests have

    been made.

    The trespassers apparently marched to

    the land in the early morning hours, de-

    stroyed a part of the surrounding fence and

    started demarcating the territory.

    Dell says the idea was that they would

    start building their shacks as soon as they

    had figured out who would live where.

    If we didnt act quickly it could have

    been awful.

    Our members came across the people

    while they were hammering stakes into the

    land, she says.

    Ward councillor JoyMcCarthy adds a dif-

    ferent slant to the affairswhen she says that

    the ringleaders will be prosecuted in ac-

    cordance with an interdict which has re-

    cently been made against them by the City

    of Cape Town.

    Tygerburger reported on this last week

    (Housing queue jumped).

    Says McCarthy: The ringleaders incited

    others to invade the land during a meeting.

    People must understand that housing does

    not fall under local government, but nation-

    al.

    She also adds that these invaders are not

    only working against the DA, but also the

    Joe Slovo Park community.

    A piece of city-owned land in the settle-

    ment, which has been earmarked for resi-

    dential and commercial use, andwhichwill

    benefit the community in the long run has

    also been subjected to an orchestrated

    land invasion in the last few months.

    It is apparently the same group of people

    who now invaded the Old Mutual land in

    Marconi Beam.

    McCarthy uses the opportunity to once

    again call for patience.

    Opportunistic squatters nipped in the bud

    ANDR BAKKES

    While in captivity, his kidnappers sawed

    into his shins, smashed the tip of his finger-

    nails with a hammer and deprived him of

    food and water.

    A Congolese man who lives in Kensing-

    ton was kidnapped in Goodwood on 31 De-

    cember last year and after being allegedly

    tortured for four days, commendable work

    by authorities saw to it that he survived the

    ordeal.

    policemembers and the Provincial Hostage

    Negotiation Unit (WCHNU) lead to the man

    being savedand twokidnap suspects arrest-

    ed.

    Spokesperson for the local police, Const

    Nokwanda Harmans, is wary of revealing

    too much about the case since court pro-

    ceedings havent begun yet.

    The sordid tale started when the victim

    was kidnapped by two male suspects, who

    hurriedhimaway to a farm inMalmesbury.

    The suspects contactedoneof thevictims

    friends anddemandedR30 000 ransommon-

    ey, which they apparently claimed was

    owed to them.

    Harmans continues: On 1 January at

    13:00 the man was reported kidnapped. A

    ransom demand was made and the victims

    cellphone was tracked to Malmesbury.

    From the moment the case was opened,

    Consts Landiso Gaya and Bonga Dingane,

    along with other police and WCHNU mem-

    bers started their search.

    Information pointed them to a farm in

    Roordebosch, Malmesbury.

    After verifying that the owner of the vehi-

    cle indeed resides on the farm they started

    their stakeout on 2 January at 18:00.

    Just aftermidnight that evening they saw

    the vehicle and after an intense pursuit

    they managed to arrest one of the suspects,

    Harmans says.

    The other onemanaged to escape, but the

    victimwas, however, found in a building on

    the farm and taken to hospital.

    A couple of days later the other suspect

    was also arrested during a follow-up opera-

    tion.

    Tortured for four gruelling days

    Friends of Tygerberg invites anyone interest-

    ed to join them on a three-hour hike on Satur-

    day 2 February, starting at 07:00.

    The hike will start at the Welgemoed Re-

    serve entrance.

    Three-hour hikes are undulating and vary

    according to group size.

    Hikers are requested to meet at the gate 10

    minutes before the starting time.

    It is advisable to take along a snack, plenty

    to drink and to wear appropriate walking or

    hiking shoes.

    Hikers should also carry a light jacket, as

    the weather can change quickly and the wind

    on the mountain can be cold.

    Children are welcome as long as they are

    physically able.

    The incessant barking of a neighbours dog

    probably rates right up there on themajori-

    ty of peoples list of top 10 irritations.

    Something was however different from

    the barking Taubelle Gersh heard on the

    morning of 21 December from her house in

    Milnerton.

    Theownerof fourdogsherself, Taubelles

    sympathetic ear picked up something else

    in the barking that others would shrug off

    as the acting out of a frustrated pooch.

    I was playing with my four dogs in my

    gardenwhen I heard this incessant barking

    of a dog in the neighbourhood. It wasnt a

    normal bark, it sounded as if the dog was

    in danger, Taubelle said.

    As the barking continued for another

    hour, aworriedTaubelle decided to investi-

    gate.

    As it happened the housewhich the noisy

    dog called home was in Redlands Road at

    the back of Taubelles house in Sheldon

    Road.

    I knocked but no one was home. Being

    vigilant I didnt want to investigate on my

    own. If it was a burglary in progress Imight

    put myself in danger, she explained.

    She phoned the Milnerton Neighbour-

    hood Watch and shortly one of their mem-

    bers joined her at the house.

    He looked around and then called me

    over to come have a look. As I looked

    through an open window I saw a dog stand-

    ing on a table with the curtain entangled

    around its neck. I told the man to not scare

    the dog, fearing that it might jump off the

    table and strangle itself. The barking came

    from another dog on the property some-

    where which I could not see.

    Being a passionate dog lover, Taubelle

    gently approached the distressed dog.

    So with my angelic voice I coaxed the

    dog closer, she joked.

    I managed to grab hold of it andwithmy

    other hand I was able to untangled the cur-

    tain fromaround its neck.What amazedme

    was that the other dog was barking to alert

    people to the situation, she said.

    Taubelle asked the Neighbourhood

    Watch member if he knew who lived there.

    When she got the name she looked up the

    telephone number and gave the owner, Bev

    Hoffman, a ring.

    I was very tearful and emotional, Angel

    ismydaughters dog. She studies at Stellen-

    bosch and was coming home that weekend,

    imagine if she got here and something had

    happened to Angel, said a very grateful

    Bev.

    The 12-year-old Angel and eight-year-old

    Kim, the heroine in this case, were rescue

    dogs that Bev got from the Adopt-A-Pet or-

    ganisation.

    I am just so grateful that Taubelle lis-

    tened to her inner voice and came to see

    what was wrong. What if it was a burglary

    or someone who had fainted, said Bev.

    Dog calls for urgent

    help from neighbours

    continous barking alerted neighbour Taubelle

    Gersh (right) to the fact that Angel was being

    strangled in a curtain.

    ANDR BAKKES

    The song of the secretive bird, the Baillons

    crake, might at first seem as odd as people

    flying all the way from Johannesburg to

    steal a glimpse of this rare bird, ticking it

    off on their list and then flying back again.

    This oddity by birdwatchers is, however,

    absolutely justified when it is driven by

    passion.

    Their need to see that bird, even if it is

    for just 40 seconds, isworthmore than their

    time and money.

    On 19 January a Baillons crakewas spot-

    ted at Intaka Island in Century City.

    The news hit Twitter and Facebook, went

    viral, and soonhundreds of infatuated bird-

    lovers descended on to the bird sanctuary.

    The gates opened an hour-and-a-half ear-

    lier every morning and repeated sightings

    of the bird enticed even more to flock to

    ground zero.

    Alan Liebenberg of Century Citys Envi-

    ronmental Office elaborates: It created a

    stir among tweeters and photographers

    who have been descending in their droves

    in thehope of catching a glimpse of this nor-

    mally very elusive bird.We have one previ-

    ous record of it being spotted at Intaka back

    in the late 1990s, but it disappeared on the

    same day it was seen.

    Liebenberg confirms that people came all

    the way from Johannesburg to witness the

    special bird.

    He adds that since the best chance one

    has to see it is early in the morning, they

    opened the gates at 06:00 instead of 07:30.

    It is a very small and solitary creature

    and indeed very rare and is usually found

    near the coastline or in marshy areas. Peo-

    ple will sit for three hours just to see it for

    half a minute!

    Liebenberg says he isnt an avid birder,

    but admits that he does have an interest in

    the hobby.

    Three years ago fewer than 10 000 people

    went to the sanctuary but last year this fig-

    ure rose to 20 000.

    According to him it is a fantastic place

    to go and take photos and enjoy the avian

    wildlife.

    When asked what the Baillons crake

    sounds like he said it is very difficult to ex-

    plain it.

    So, I will take a pop at it. It sounds some-

    thing like...

    A frog saying goodbye to the world (ma-

    jestically,mindyou)while it is slowlybeing

    squeezed in a vice.

    Crake causes birder

    quake at Intaka

    TheCity of Cape Townhas strengthened its

    partnership with the Southern African

    Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal

    Birds (Sanccob).

    This foundation is responsible for preser-

    ving SouthAfricas vulnerable seabird spe-

    cies, including the African penguin.

    The past theme for World Environment

    Awareness, where the city participated

    with various educational drives about en-

    vironmental resource management, also

    focused on the effects of pollution and cli-

    mate change on polar ecosystems, and the

    ensuing consequences around the world.

    Chairperson of De Grendel Subcouncil,

    JamesVos, explains that all types of polluti-

    on are key factors in the health of a city,

    represent a major health risk to our citi-

    zens, and also portrayCapeTown in a nega-

    tive way to tourists and residents alike. He

    adds that previous municipal legislation

    was not hitting hard enough at the big fac-

    tories responsible for much of the noxious,

    contaminating emissions that defile our

    air, and that the existing air pollution cont-

    rol bylaw of council was amended because

    it is out of date and insufficiently stringent.

    In addition, the city has expanded its ve-

    hicle emission testing programme, targe-

    ting not only big fleet owners, but also loo-

    king at city-owned vehicles such as refuse

    removal trucks.

    It is the responsibility of every person

    to protect existing trees and encourage the

    planting of new ones to stem the negative

    consequences of carbon emissions, says

    Vos.

    He also points out that judging by the

    available facts on global warming, human

    beings have a poor track record in caring

    and managing our environment.

    It is a known fact that trees are essential

    in theproductionof oxygenand the reducti-

    on of hot house gases. The City of Cape

    Town therefore welcomes the contribution

    by every resident who helps to plant trees,

    not onlyduringArbourMonthheldannual-

    ly in September, but throughout the year.

    Pollution a real danger

    to our ecosystems

    Rescue Campaign by visiting www.sanccob.co.za.

    he City of Cape Town recognises

    that residents, businesses and

    visitors to Table View have been

    very patient as construction

    continues ahead of the expansion of the

    MyCiTi service. Mayoral Committee Member

    for Transport, Roads and Stormwater,

    Councillor Brett Herron says: We thank

    everyone for their understanding, while

    we undertake the construction that

    is necessary to deliver quality public

    transport to the people of Cape Town.

    Over the coming months progress will

    continue, in particular:

    Blaauwberg Road

    Construction continues building new

    MyCiTi stations at Grey, Janssens, Wood

    For more information: Call the Transport Information Centre (toll-free 24/7) 0800 65 64 63 Visit www.myciti.org.za

    Construction continues on Blaauwberg Road as MyCiTi gears up for an expanded public

    transport offering in Table View and Dunoon.

    and Circle East along Blaauwberg Road.

    The road has been widened and dedicated

    red busways are under construction. A

    cycle path in the median of Blaauwberg

    Road is also being built. In coming months

    landscaping with indigenous and water-wise

    plants will improve the surrounding area.

    The existing road is currently being

    resurfaced. During this period, motorists

    will from time to time be redirected

    onto the newly constructed red busway.

    Motorists are requested to follow the

    signage provided.

    Potsdam Road

    The construction of Usasaza, Dunoon and

    Killarney stations along Potsdam Road,

    a dedicated red busway, and a pedestrian

    and cycle path will be completed in the

    coming months.

    Road works and the construction

    of the Potsdam station will require

    trafc deviation at the intersection of

    Blaauwberg, Potsdam and Koeberg roads.

    This will take place over two weekends in

    April and one weekend in September, from

    Saturday at 14:00 until Monday at 05:00

    to minimise congestion and inconvenience.

    Trafc signs will help guide motorists to

    alternative routes. Watch the press for

    more details.

    Park-and-Rides

    Two Park-and-Rides will be built on either

    side of Blaauwberg Road, at the

    intersection with Wood Drive. Each will

    accommodate about 120 parking bays

    and racks for bicycles. This will make

    it convenient for MyCiTi passengers to

    park their cars and bicycles outside Wood

    station and hop onto the bus. Landscaped

    ower beds will contribute to the creation

    of an attractive public space.

    ANDR BAKKES

    Michelle Smit (21) van die Eric Miles-Ches-

    hirehuis in Milnerton kan nou op haar eie

    rolstoel deur die gange van di tehuis jaag,

    te danke aan verskeie Rotarir-klubs en So-

    lidariteit Helpende Hand.

    Die gestremde Michelle is verjeug dat sy

    nou uiteindelik n gerieflike rolstoel het.

    Ek kon amper nooit skoene gedra het

    nie, want my voete rus nie gemaklik op die

    ou ene nie. Die stoel wat ek voor hierdie een

    gehad het, was meer gemaklik, maar ek het

    dikwels agteroorgeval, verduidelik sy.

    Michelle glo sy sal nie dieselfde probleme

    ervaar met die nuwe rooi Ferrari, soos

    een van die skenkers skertsend daarna ver-

    wys het, nie.

    Michelle was amper ses jaar gelede in n

    motorongeluk op die N1. Sy het nie net die

    vermo verloor om te stap nie, maar ook

    haar niggie en krel aan die dood afgestaan.

    Sedertdienwas dit een groot gesukkel om

    van punt A tot punt B te kom.

    Erika Botha-Rossouw, die streeksorgani-

    seerder (Wes-Kaap) van Solidariteit Hel-

    pende Hand, het die plaaslike Rotarirs in

    kennis gestel van Michelle se probleem.

    Ek ken Michelle sedert 2010 toe ek haar

    ontmoet het inmoeilike omstandighede. Li-

    ret Swanepoel van Solidariteit het ook be-

    trokke geraak en selfs virMichelle n party-

    tjie gehou met haar 21ste verjaarsdag!

    Die Helpende Hand-streekkantoor het

    reeds in 2011 by die tehuis betrokke geraak

    en verskeie verbeteringe aangebring om

    die inwoners se lewensgehalte te verbeter.

    HelpendeHand het die lewensomstandig-

    hede vanMichelle verbeter deur haar in die

    tehuis te plaas en haar kamer op te knap.

    Verlede jaar is van die ander kamers ook

    verbeter.

    Ons het geweet dat die inwoners van die

    tehuis dikwels afhanklik is van die staat se

    karige ongeskiktheidspensioen, s Erika.

    Die pensioen is skaars voldoende omhul

    verblyf te betaal en laat nie veel oor vir

    enigiets anders nie.

    In die volgende drie weke sal die Rotari-

    ers 110 rolstoele oorhandig aan behoeftiges

    in Kaapstad te danke aan die Internasiona-

    le Rotarir-rolstoelstigting.

    The winners for a competition to name the

    old and new bird hides at Rietvlei wetlands

    were recently announced.

    Thewinner of the competition for renam-

    ing the new bird hide is Carolina Burd-

    Rocchinotti.

    Her proposal was the Sunset hide.

    She has won a complimentary boat ride

    for two on the citys patrol boat around Ri-

    etvlei at a time that suits herself and a part-

    ner.

    The Rietvlei Management Board won the

    naming of the old bird hide with Old

    Friends Hide in honour of the Friends of

    Rietvleis link to the board.

    It is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek name that

    will fall gently on the tongue of non-mem-

    bers of Friends of Rietvlei while compli-

    menting the Friends many years of contri-

    bution to conservation on the area, said ar-

    ea manager of the Table Bay Nature

    Reserve Koos Retief.

    The Rietvlei Management Board was of-

    fered the same complimentary trip.

    The social outreach programme a local ani-

    mal charity has launched in informal settle-

    ments, has led to a complete turn around in

    how the residents view their animals.

    The pro-life animal charity in Milnerton

    Adopt-a-Pet has been working in Sweet

    Home Farm, Philippi since July 2011.

    We started tending to the animals there,

    after there were rumours of a pack of dogs

    dragging a child out of a shack and maul-

    ing her. The community then turned on

    the stray dogs and were intent on killing

    them, says Cicely Blumberg of Adopt-a-

    Pet.

    It was while visiting the settlement at

    around 06:00 one morning in the middle of

    winter that they met one Edward.

    He was in a terrible situation. He was

    living ina shacknobigger thana toilet and

    he was very sick. We told him that we will

    build himawendyhouse beforeMandelas

    birthday.

    With the help of some volunteers and do-

    nations, Cicely and her team then made

    good on their promise.

    Seeing what they did for Edward, some

    of themothers approached themandasked

    whether they are from the government.

    We told them we are only there to help

    the animals, but they wanted us to help

    them with their children.

    I didnt know what to say, and off the

    top ofmy head I suggested getting them in-

    volved in sport. I had a notebook with me

    and said any children interested in play-

    ing soccer or netball should sign up.

    It is through this initiative that theymet

    the 14-year-old Ebenathi and a friend.

    We saw a scared looking dog which we

    had trouble catching. These two boyswent

    down on their haunches in the mud and

    called the dog to them, and it started leop-

    ard crawling its way to them.

    This would prove to be a turning point

    in the lives of Ebenathi and the lives of the

    disregarded animals in the settlement.

    Ebenathi still has the dog they rescued

    that day.

    He is now a watcher for all animals in

    distress in Sweet Home Farm. If he comes

    across an animal that is in trouble, he

    phones us. The weekend before last he

    phoned us about a little kitten he found in

    a dustbin.Wewent out and rescued him, Cic-

    ely says.

    However, another emergency call from the

    sympathetic Ebenathi regarding a dog and its

    puppies that appeared to have been driven

    over by a car, did not have such a happy end-

    ing.

    The dogs appeared to have been dead for

    quite a while when we got there, she says.

    Cicely is grateful for the way children like

    Ebenathi have been given an understanding

    of life.

    The place where they live is so difficult.

    There is nothing. Previously they would tor-

    ture and kill the animals and now they are

    helping to save their lives, she says.

    The Safety Ambassadors social upliftment

    programme they run in areas like Philippi

    is aimed at showing the people who live

    there, a different way of life.

    We take the children to placeswhere they

    havent been before. Recently I took

    Ebenathi and his mother to the Waterfront

    and we took them on a boat ride around the

    harbour.

    If you teach a young child to respect life

    they will convey that thinking to the next

    generation. It also serves as a crime preven-

    tion programme and seems to be working,

    she adds.

    V Volunteers who would like to get involved with

    AdoptaPet or who would like to donate towards

    their cause can contact Cicely Blumberg on

    021 465 4560 or visit www.adoptapet.org.za.

    upliftment programme they run.

    Cease fire and

    start listening

    to real needs

    Cease fire! one wants to scream. Can

    everyone just put their guns, sticks,

    stones, posters, and yes, pens down, shut

    up and listen to each other? Can we stop

    destroying our surroundings and saddest

    of all, each other?

    Everywhere everyone is yelling for

    this, demanding that. Youll swear every

    single soul is being denied even the most

    basic of rights. Who doesnt want more

    money, a better house, better services,

    better education and more opportunities?

    This need is insatiable the more you

    have, the more you want especially

    political power.

    In a democracy nobody gets what they

    want. Everything is a compromise. We

    strive towards being sort-of satisfied. To

    get to this point, we should listen. Not

    just shut up to reload the word gun, but

    put you in the other partys shoes the

    real party understand their concerns

    and their real needs, and stop focusing

    on your own screwed up urge to get to

    the top.

    What is prevalent everywhere, is people

    trying to wipe each other out, whether by

    weapons or words. Nobody is listening.

    Least of all is anyone listening to the real

    victims of all these egoistic wars and

    struggles for power. Who are listening to

    honest people just trying to get on with

    their lives, doing their jobs, raising their

    children? They are the people who have

    to live with this dodge the bullets,

    bearing the brunt of others greed.

    Please, just hold your fire.

    Wie n ander

    voorspoed gun, sal

    self oorvloed h.

    Wie die dors van

    ander les, sal self

    genoeg kry as hy

    dors het.

    I refer to the letter (Cyclists

    should start thinking about the

    motorists on roads, TygerBur-

    ger, 23 January).

    I am a cyclist and from your

    letter I assume that you are

    not and never was one.

    The death of Burry Stander

    had me questioning myself if I

    should continue to cycle or

    rather take up another sport

    which I rather can do on a

    field or indoors.

    I cycle almost everyday and

    when I get home, I thank the

    Lord that I got back safely. I

    agree with you that we as

    cyclist have to look after our

    own safety, but surely you as a

    motorist also have a responsi-

    bility to look out for me.

    Numerous times we have near

    misses of trucks and cars that

    pass us within the safe 1.5

    meter zone.

    Some cars will pass you just

    to turn right in front of you so

    that you have to slam on the

    brakes.

    You say that cyclist ride

    outside the yellow line and

    that you have to sit behind

    them. We have just been to

    Ireland in December, there the

    cars do sit behind the cyclists,

    where there is no yellow line,

    and wait for a gap to pass

    them safely without putting

    anybodys lives in danger. And

    that is the norm, because they

    respect each others right to be

    on the road.

    You mention that you have

    to drive into the oncoming

    traffic, but if you regard a

    cyclist as just another road

    user, you will wait until it is

    safe to pass like you will do

    with another motor vehicle.

    You also mention that

    Government should make it a

    law that all cyclist must be

    registered and display a

    registration number. A big

    number of Mountain bikers in

    the Western Cape already

    belong to various clubs, like

    the Tygerberg Mountainbike

    Club (TBMC) and everybody

    displays their own specific

    This cycling issues

    is a twoway street

    In response to the letter

    (Cyclists should start thinking

    about the motorists on roads,

    TygerBurger, 23 January).

    I am both a cyclist and

    motorist and have travelled the

    Bottelary Road many times on

    both of these forms of trans-

    port.

    I do agree that there are

    large groups of cyclists that use

    this very popular cycling route

    from time to time, and also

    agree that some are misbehav-

    ing by riding three or four

    abreast. The various Western

    Cape cycling clubs and regional

    bodies are working hard to

    address these problems.

    Cyclists, like all other

    vehicles, are not supposed to

    ride inside the yellow lines,

    they do so out of courtesy to

    faster vehicles and for self

    preservation to some extent.

    There needs to be a serious

    paradigm shift in the way all

    road users in SA think

    motorists, cyclists, taxis, the

    whole lot, towards a mentality

    of live and let live.

    The Argus Cycle Tour is

    coming up soon and the roads

    are going to be flooded with

    cyclists, so perhaps, if only for

    two months, motorists can

    accept them with some grace

    then perhaps some lives can be

    saved and stress levels lowered

    I am deeply disappointed that

    the driver who knocked and

    scratched my car just drove off.

    I parked behind Checkers

    supermarket on Sunday 13

    January. When I came out my

    silver Polo was badly scratched

    by someone that did not have

    the decency to wait for me to

    come out the store or leave

    his/her phone number.

    I really hope that you, the

    guilty one, will come forward

    and admit that you damaged

    my vehicle and not be a coward

    that runs away.

    TRUDY VAN NIEKERK

    Durbanville

    Polo scratcher is

    just a big coward

    In reply to Mr De Kocks letter

    (Cyclists should start thinking

    about the motorists on roads,

    TygerBurger, 23 January).

    Your statement that cyclists

    should take responsibility for

    their own safety is correct, but

    I have a few concerns.

    I am a cyclist myself and use

    the Bottelary Road regularly. I

    always ride as far left on the

    shoulder of the road as possi-

    ble. At stop streets and traffic

    lights I go to the front, but

    always ensure that I stay out of

    the way of cars not to delay or

    obstruct them when they pull

    away. Even though I am a very

    considerate cyclist, I have an

    unpleasant incident every

    single time I go riding and not

    once has it been my fault.

    What your article does not

    mention is the motorists total

    disregard of road rules, the

    impatience, intolerance and

    general lawlessness on our

    roads. This is the cause of

    death and serious accidents on

    our roads.

    The solution is, we all need

    to obey the rules of the road, to

    have respect for other road

    users, to be more patient.

    Listed private school company, Curro Holdings, has

    opened a new school at Century City which is expected

    to further increase demand for residential and com-

    mercial property in the burgeoning precinct.

    ExecutiveHead SeanFriedenthal says enrolments at

    the school for the first year are just under 300 much

    higher than they had initially anticipated.

    With classes of around 25 pupils, the school currently

    caters for Grade RR through to Grade 5 but will extend

    to Grades 6 and 7 next year.

    With 55 classrooms of which only 33 are currently

    beingutilised, it has beenbuilt to accommodate around

    800 learners and Friedenthal is confident they will be

    at full capacity within a few years.

    A high school is also in the planning stages for future

    use.

    Curro expands to Century City

    Curro Holdings has opened a new school at Century City, which is simply known as Curro School Century City.

    Crime and the challenge to find solutions are the

    main concern in our community and should be seen

    as an opportunity to involve all residents in the

    crime-fighting business. This was said recently by

    James Vos, chairman of De Grendel Subcouncil in

    Cape Town due to concerns about crime in the com-

    munity.

    We have experienced armed robberies through-

    out all suburbs within the northern areas, he said.

    Measures such as the increase in police patrols

    and residents involvement in neighbourhood

    watches have been put into place.

    He stated that training and capacity building

    workshops for neighbourhood watches and their

    members are being instigated.

    The city is also offering resources such as radios,

    reflector jackets, torches and bicycles once these

    training programmes are completed.

    The safety and security of our town is very close

    to my heart, he says.

    He emphasises that the strength of the neighbour-

    hood watch depends on the ability to respond to lo-

    cal needs and local problems with proper local solu-

    tions.

    All homeowners areurged to take additional steps

    such as installing energy saving security lights

    around the boundaries of their properties and to

    look out for suspicious people and cars when driv-

    ing home.

    Residents are also advised to join the local neigh-

    bourhood watches as these bodies bring the public

    closer to the police,whichwill lead to better co-oper-

    ation and a combined effort to prevent and fight

    crime.

    Vos: Fighting crime a group effort

    Ontmoet van die bekendste boesemvriende in Monte

    Vista! Daagliks soggens en saans kan die 82-jarige

    Dirk Burger en sy vyfjarige skaduwee, Whisky, ge-

    sienwordwaarhulleDieBurger gaankoop endan later

    in die dag parkie toe gaan.

    Volgens een van Dirk se vriende, Kobus

    Terblanche, ken omtrent 80 % van die inwo-

    ners Whisky op sy naam.

    Dirk ry in n rolstoel, wat pronk met n

    landsvlag, s dit vat eintlik konsentrasie om

    so iets mis te kyk.

    Dis sodat die karre n mens kan sien, s

    Dirk, voordat hy byvoeg die vlag is daar uit

    lojaliteit.

    Met die Wreldbekersokkertoernooi in

    Kaapstad het Dirk sommermet twee vlae ge-

    ry. Hy vertel met n groot glimlag dat dit uit

    ng meer getrouheid aan die land gedoen

    is.

    Dirk het Whisky in sy babatyd altyd voor

    by sy trui ingedruk wanneer hy op sy daag-

    likse rit gegaan het. En s het dit gekom dat

    die opgeskote reuntjie nou al vyf jaar onaf-

    skeidbaar van sy Oubaas is.

    Kobus brei uit: Die Jack Russell draf ge-

    trou agter die rystoel aan en as hy opgewon-

    de raak, draf hy langsaan. En soms raak hy

    hier indiemiddel vandiedag so ietwat lastig

    as hy besluit dis tyd omwinkel of parkie toe

    te gaan.

    En hy weet vooraf wanneer die Burgers

    na hul strandhuis op Langebaan gaan. Dan

    is daar geen keer aan Whisky nie en raak

    hy ongeduldig as die inpakkery te lank na

    sy sin neem!

    Dirk, wat as boerseun in Clanwilliam se

    wreld grootgeword het, het destyds die ge-

    bruik van sy linkerbeenverloorweens n on-

    bekende kiem. En dan het hy boonop twee

    hartomleidings en ses heupoperasies onder-

    gaan. Hy het ook twee keer hart-pasaangers ontvang

    en met sy beenprobleem nege maande in n hospitaal

    deurgebring. Maar vandag gaan dit goed en het ek en

    my honnekind niks om oor te kla nie, s die oupa van

    ses kleinkinders met opregte oortuiging.

    Win tickets to see Sterling EQ on Valentines Day.

    Finemusic on the vine

    The SAMA-winning Sterling EQs picnic

    concert at Nitida has become an annual

    highlight on the Durbanville events calen-

    dar, and this year they are performing on

    Valentines Day.

    Cassia, signature restaurant at the

    award-winning Nitida wine estate, will

    spoil lovebirds with a delectable picnic of-

    fering, to perfectly complement the roman-

    tic open-air ambiance of Sterling EQs con-

    cert around the dam on 14 February.

    The quartet, fresh from releasing their

    third studio album Pulse, will perform

    songs from the new album, as well as hits

    from their previous award-winning releas-

    es Nova, Sterling EQ Live in Concert, and

    Sterling Speel Afrikaans.

    Sterling EQ comprises four classically

    trained virtuosos: Carina Bruwer on pop

    flute, Eriel Huang and Renate Riedeman on

    electric violins, and Ariella Caira on elec-

    tric cello.

    Ariella gave TygerBurger some Valen-

    tines advice. Valentines Day may be a

    commercial holiday, but it is still a great op-

    portunity to set some time aside and really

    spoil your significant other, she says, add-

    ing: Just steer clear of the generic fluffy

    teddies, ps. I love you chocolates and those

    awful single fake roses in tacky cellophane

    and give something personal and truly from

    the heart.

    An original poem, a classic mix tape or

    a home-cooked dinner for two will never go

    out of style. Prepare their favourite dish

    and dine alfresco in warm February.

    V Concert tickets are R600 per couple or R300 per

    person, including a picnic basket filled with a variety

    of delicious sweet and savoury eats, as well a bottle

    of Cassias red or white wine. Yummy packages are

    available for kids under 12 years at R60 each. Tickets

    are available at Computicket. Only food and bever

    ages purchased at the venue will be allowed. Doors

    open at 18:30 and the concert starts at 19:30.

    Guests are encouraged to bring along picnic blan

    kets or camping chairs. Contact 021 976 0640 or

    [email protected] to book.

    WIN! WIN! WIN!

    along with a picnic basket and merchandise. To en

    In the family of Lions, January is a most im-

    portant month for it is 134 years since the

    founder,Melvin Jones, was born in Fort Tho-

    mas, Arizona in the United States of Ameri-

    ca.

    He once asked his associates in a business

    circle What if you men who are successful

    because of your drive, intelligence and ambi-

    tion were to put your talents towork impro-

    ving your communities?

    Thus, at his invitation, delegates from

    mens clubsmet inChicago to lay the ground-

    work for such an organisation and on June

    7, 1917, Lions Clubs International was born.

    Jones eventually abandoned his insurance

    agency to devote himself full-time to Lions at

    its international headquarters in Chicago.

    It was under his

    dynamic leader-

    ship that Lions

    clubs earned the

    prestige necessary

    to attract civic-

    minded members.

    The associati-

    ons founder was

    also recognised as

    a leader by those

    outside the associ-

    ation. One of his

    greatest honours

    was in 1945 when

    he represented Li-

    ons Clubs Interna-

    tional as a consul-

    tant in San Fran-

    cisco, California,

    at the organisati-

    on of the United

    Nations.

    Jones personal

    code was: You

    cant get very far

    until you start doing something for somebo-

    dy else, and it became a guiding principle

    for public-spirited people the world over. He

    died on 1 June 1961 at 82 years of age.

    His vision has created a worldwide volun-

    tary humanitarian community service orga-

    nisation with over 1,35 million men and wo-

    men in 206 countries and geographical areas.

    Lions clubmembership is by invitation so

    if one is interested in being invited to join an

    arelions.co.za and www.lionsclubs.org for
