T
he state of houses in Parow Valley is
once again in the spotlight after a read-
er complained about what he reckons
is a problem building.
He is a neighbour of tenants living in a
house in Hofmeyer Street, which he de-
scribes as chaotic.
I dont want to play policeman, but its
quite obvious people are selling drugs there.
There are also serious health hazards on the
property. Ive heard there is a plague of
rats, says the anonymous neighbour.
According to him the broken glass on the
front door has been replaced with boards
and the vibracrete wall in the front has been
decimated over years of neglect.
He is not onlyworried about the effect this
house has on property prices in the vicinity,
but also the noise coming out of the house
day and night and the fact that there isnt
enoughparking for the countless peoplewho
live there.
As a result they have to park on the pave-
ment.
This house isnt the only one causing a
concern for neighbours in the deteriorating
suburb.
TygerBurger recently reported on anoth-
er, this time in Market Street, that has been
the ire of neighbours.
The newspaper has received other calls
fromconcerned residents of yetmorehouses
that authorities should look at after the last
article.
Maycomember for safety and security, JP
Smith, said as ofApril this year 1685 private-
ly owned buildings have been declared as
problem buildings.
On top of this, buildings owned by the City
total 35, government-owned land totals 21
and individual cases thathavebeen resolved
add up to 421 properties.
When asked if therewas an increase in the
number of problem buildings, Smith an-
swered: By comparison, inAugust 2015, the
statistics were as follows: 1669 privately
owned properties, 21 City owned, 46 govern-
ment owned land, 29 Prasa owned and 300
cases closed.
He elaborates: Unfortunately, people of-
ten mistake buildings with problems for
problem buildings. Overgrown vegetation,
unlawful businesses, derelict vehicles on
thepremises, incompletebuildingsand loud
noise do not necessarily make the property
a problem building. Complaints such as
these canbedealtwith byother departments
within the City, such as environmental
health, planning and building development
management and so forth.

Vice Squad rescues woman
The City of Cape Towns Vice Squad rescu-
ed a 24-year-old woman in the Bellville
CBD during an operation on Saturday
18 June.
The woman, originally from Johannes-
burg, told the officers she had been forced
into prostitution after being lured to Cape
Town with the promise of employment.
The young woman has been taken to a
safe house and we have handed the case
over to the Hawks for further investigati-
on. Sadly her story is not unique and is yet
another cautionary tale to young people to
double-check any offers of employment, es-
pecially if they are from another town or
city. They should also make sure their fa-
mily knows their whereabouts at all ti-
mes, says theCitysMaycomember for sa-
fety and security, JP Smith.
The Vice Squad issued 20 spot fines for
solicitation in areas including Bellville
and Eerste River, totalling R23 000. The Li-
quor Enforcement Unit also assisted the
police and theWesternCapeLiquorAutho-
ritys ComplianceUnit inKhayelitsha,Ma-
cassar, Lwandle and Kuils River. They is-
sued 19 spot fines of R39 900 and arrested
a suspect for selling liquor illegally.
GwendolineWallendorf, n inwoner van die George&Annie Starcktehuis in Bellville, het opWoens
dag 15 Junie haar 90ste verjaardag in die Cattle Baronrestaurant in die TygerWaterfront gevier.
Sy is op Mosselbaai gebore en het op Franschhoek opgegroei. N die Tweede Wreldoorlog het
sy 8 jaar op Robbeneiland gewoon toe dit nog n militre basis was. Sy het ses kinders, 19 kleinkin
ders, 19 agterkleinkinders en 4 agteragterkleinkinders. Vriende en familie het van so ver as Phala
borwa, Oudtshoorn, Pretoria en Swellendam gereis om die mylpaal te vier. Van die gaste het ges
dat sy mooier is as die koningin van Engeland, wat ook vanjaar 90 jaar oud is.

Alternatively, if it relates to criminal activ-
ities, the police can investigate. We there-
fore encourage residents to call the Citys
call centre on 0860 103 089 and log a service
request, outlining the situation in detail.
The call centre will then divert the com-
plaint to the relevant department(s), such as
law enforcement, environmental health or
fire and rescue services. Once an initial in-
spection has been done, the department will
determine whether the case should be esca-
lated to the Problem Building Unit.
Once the building has been declared a
problem building, the City will issue a no-
tice onto the owner and, if ignored, someone
who is guilty of an offence in terms of the
relevant bylaw is upon conviction liable to
a finenot exceedingR300 000 or even impris-
onment for a period up to three years.
In addition to any penalty imposed, the
guilty party shall be liable to pay the cost
of repair of any damage caused or costs in-
curred in remedying any damage resulting
from such an offence.
A problembuilding includes any building
or portion of a building that appears to have
been abandoned by the owner, that is dere-
lict in appearance, overcrowded or is show-
ing signs of becoming unhealthy, unsanita-
ry, unsightly or objectionable, that is the
subject of written complaints in respect of
criminal activities, including drug dealings
and prostitution, that is illegally occupied,
where refuse or waste material is accumu-
lated, dumped, stored or deposited with the
exception of licensed waste disposal facili-
ties, or that is partially completed or struc-
turally unsound and is a threat or danger
to the safety of the general public.

ie Grow-opleiding- en ontwikkeling-
sentrum inMeathstraat, Bellville bied
nie net slypskole aan nie, maar is ook
die plek waarheen straatmense gaan om hul
loopbane n nuwe lewe te gee.
S gesels Alda van der Westhuizen, oplei-
ding- en werkplasingskordineerder van
Grow, wat in oorleg met MES werk.
Ons help met werksaansoeke deur mid-
del van gratis internettoegangvan 40minute
per dag. Baie van die straatmense was lank
nie deel van die werkerskorps nie en dan
ontwikkel ons hul CVs om by die werkbe-
skrywing te pas waarvoor hulle aansoek
doen. Ons tik die CV oor en het n onderhoud
met die kandidaat sodat die persoon duide-
likheid het oor watter soort werk of pos hy
voor kan aansoek doen, het sy ges.
Volgens haar doen baie ouens aansoek vir
werk wat glad nie deur haar/sy CV onder-
steun word nie. Sommige werksondervin-
ding word uitgelaat, omdat dit informele
werk was of vir kort tydperke. Alle onder-
vinding is belangrik enmoet in jou CVweer-
spiel word. Ons bemagtig ook mense met
e-pos-adresse en internettoegang. Ons leer
die ouens om die internet te gebruik omdat
diemeeste poste deesdae opdie internet ge-
adverteer word, het sy bygevoeg.
Sodra dieCVopgestel is,worddit aandie
persoon teruggestuur sodat dit elektronies
aanhombeskikbaar is enhyookvanander
plekke as by Grow aansoek kan doen. Hier
kan die persoon gebruik maak van inter-
net by biblioteke of internetkafees.
Wanneer iemand vir ons kom s dat hy
of sy n werkonderhoud het, help ons met
die voorbereiding vir onderhoude.
Ons doen saam navorsing oor die maat-
skappy en indien nodig, sorg ons dat die
applikant geskikte klere en vervoergeld
het. Ons bevestig ook met die maatskappy
of die persoon wel n onderhoud het.
Die meeste ouens gebruik die geleent-
heid om by Grow te werk en is dus in staat
om self hul vervoer na die onderhoud te be-
taal, het Van der Westhuizen ges.
VNavrae kan aan Alda gerig word by 021 948 9888
of per epos na [email protected].
Loopbane kry hier n nuwe lewe
Not all potential problem buildings are quite as obvious as this one in Maitland. Some may be
structurally sound and reasonably clean, but may still be declared a problem building. In Parow
Valley there are a growing number of houses that fall between these two extremes.

he Greater Tygerberg Partnership
(GTP) will be launching their busi-
ness plan for 2016/17 for Bellville
and Parow at a business breakfast at Niti-
da Wine Farm in Durbanville on Thurs-
day 30 June.
Since the inception of the GTP our big-
gest challenge was engaging with all
stakeholders to create an inclusive regen-
eration process. We are also trying to in-
crease the marketing of the GTP and the
area, says CEO Chris OConnor.
The other big challenge is the crimeand
grime issues which need urgent attention
and a consolidated and coordinated effort
fromall stakeholders in order tomake the
area attractive to investment and devel-
opment.
To realise ourvision to create an inclu-
sive, vibrant and economically prosper-
ous area inwhich to invest, live,workand
play, we have to achieve certain objec-
tives.
We need tomarket the northern urban
area aggressively by interacting with
business, health, education and commu-
nity leaders, as well as the general public.
We need to plan and develop with the
City ofCapeTownavibrant andwell coor-
dinated urban area with emphasis on the
Bellville and Parow nodes, he says.
The entire area covered by the GTP
plans to promote investment by working
closely with other marketing agencies
and institutions. This includes mobilis-
ing City, local and provincial support
from government and business for the so-
cial enhancement and economic growth
plans for the area.
We will achieve this through a strate-
gic approachwhich is aimed at unlocking
opportunity in five steps, says OCon-
nor.
A creative and inclusive strategy will
unlock the significant potential of the ar-
ea. Residents and businesses alike will
share the benefits of quality housing, effi-
cient public transport and recreational
opportunities near to their places of
work.
Successes achieved so far by the GTP
include the launching of ongoing pro-
grammes that have made public spaces
more accessible, safe, and welcoming.
These include Jack Muller Park, Elsi-
eskraal Greenbelt, together with Kerk-
plein, Teddington Road and Kruskal Ave-
nue in Bellville and Parow Station Ar-
cade.
Our Infrastructure and Service Deliv-
ery Programme has succeeded in attract-
ing investors anddevelopers into theBell-
ville and Parow area and our service of-
fering for investors, developers and
property owners has been enthusiastical-
ly received, says OConnor.
Our efforts have led to buildings being
upgraded and re-purposed to accommo-
date the need for increased property den-
sities through mixed use developments
that offer retail premises, affordable rent-
al accommodation and student accommo-
dation.
GTP launches business plan
TheR487million project by the Department
of Transport and Public Works to upgrade
9kmof theN1 between Plattekloof Road and
the Old Oak interchange will disrupt traffic
for the next few weeks.
The project is to be completed in Februa-
ry 2019.
In a statement issued by the department,
every effortwill bemade tominimise traffic
disruption. This part of the freeway carries
about 120 000 vehicles every day. The addi-
tion of a third lane in both directions will
significantly reduce traffic congestion on
one of Cape Towns busiest roads.
Shoulder closures for bridge rehabilita-
tionwork at thePlattekloof intersection,N1
outbound, will be between 08:00 to 15:00 dai-
ly. Lane closures for the installation of a
freeway management system and national
long distance service route between the
Durban Road and Old Oak intersections
will also be closed for the same period.
There will be minor operations on the side
of the road daily between 08:00 and 17:00
Shoulder closures for bridge rehabilita-
tion work at the Plattekloof intersection N1
inbound,will be between 09:00 and 17:00 and
minor operations on the side of the road be-
tween 08:00 and 17:00. At Jip de Jager Road
shoulder closures will occur on both the on
and off ramps.

Blankets of hope for her birthday
Crystal August depends on the community to
help her collect blankets, just like people in
need depend on her to keep them warmer
this winter.
ANDR BAKKES
@andrebakkes
O
n 27 June 1990 Francis August was
told there were complications in her
pregnancy and that there was a
chance that her baby girlmight be breached.
The doctors were concerned that either
the baby or Francis life could be in danger,
but Francis was a fighter and pushed
through unabated.
Five hours later Crystal was born.
Now the 25-year-old Crystal is gearing up
for her 26th birthday by continuing the ex-
cellent humanitarian work she has done
over the last four years.
Every birthday she spends five hours of
her time to alleviate the lives of the less for-
tunate, an initiative she calls Birthday of
Hope.
It ismyway of giving back to the commu-
nity. I amayoungwomanaspiring to inspire
future generations of young girls to rise
above their circumstances and achieve
greater heights. Birthday of Hope provides
a platform to encourage young ones and give
themhope for a better tomorrow, she elabo-
rates.
This year the Parow Valley resident will
be distributing blankets to Parow Valley
Welfare, the Greyton Red Cross Society, Ge-
nadendal Old Age Home and Huis Martina
Old Age Home, but she needs everyones
help to get as many blankets as possible.
I have alreadymanaged to get 43 blankets
through a social media drive, but my aim is
to deliver 200 blankets to the beneficiaries,
she explains.
As with her pre-
vious four birth-
days she will again
spend five hours at
an orphanage or an
old age home (or
even both!)
When asked why
she feels the need to
help the less fortu-
nate and when this
realisation oc-
curred, she answers: While I was living in
the CBD I always walked past droves of
homeless people. Some of them even had
children. I realised then and there that I
need to do whatever I can to help people. I
cant solve their problems, but I can lend a
helping hand.
When Crystal talks about the desperate
need of others or how much she depends on
her mother, her pillar of strength, she cries.
Suffice to say she is very committed to her
cause, but aswith all things in life themore
help you can get from others the better.
People can contactme via email or phone
me if they have blankets or any other goods
to donate, she insists, before concluding: I
have learnt to appreciatewhat I have some-
thing that is lacking in the world. To have
a father and a mother who care for you, and
want to provide you with the best possible
childhood, is a blessing. The clich is that
charity begins at home, but this is incom-
plete. Charity begins at home, but shouldnot
stay there!

Gesprekke oor dwelmduiwel
ANDR BAKKES
@andrebakkes
S
yohet oopgegaan toehy sy sig ver-
loor het.
Hy was n uitblinker op laerskool,
maar net n skaduwee op horskool.
Dimanvandiewestelike kusstreekwas
aan heroen verslaaf toe hy in n ernstige
motorfietsongeluk betrokke was.
Ek was altyd siek en vol pyne van die
dwelms. Ekmoes toemy ouers alles vertel.
In Januarie 2011 is ek na n kliniek vir
dwelmbehandeling, s die man.
Dit is op tye soos Dwelmbewusmakings-
week van 24 tot 28 Junie dat hy sy eie
en ander se gruwelstories onthou.
Ek het begin branderplankry toe ek 10
was en begin sigarette rook op 13. Op 14 het
ek enmymaats dagga begin rook. Op hor-
skool het ek begin raves bywoon saammet
ouer vriende en kennis gemaak met ander
dwelms soos LSD, buttons, ecstacy, crack en
heroen, vertel hy.
Iemand anders s: Die dwelmprobleem
het by my al hoe erger geword en ek het
alle dwelms probeer. Op 40 het heroen am-
per my lewe gekos toe ek vir dood in die
hospitaal gelos is.
Storie agter verslawing
Daar is n storie agter elke verslawing,
besef die man van die westelike kusstreek.
Toe ek in die vroe sewentigs in die
Kaap komwerk het, het ek nie gedrink nie.
Nou, soveel jare later, kan ek nie eens
meer onthou wanneer of hoekom ek begin
drink het nie of wanneer dit buite beheer
begin raak het nie. Wat ek wel weet, is dat
ek eenMaandagoggend weer half dronk en
siek wakker geword het en besef het dat ek
nie so kon voortgaan nie, s n ander per-
soon.
Ek het begin dwelms gebruik as gevolg
van kleintyd-trauma. Ek was baie sensi-
tief, was vas aan Ma se rokspante en baie
bang vir Pa.
Ekwas ses jaar oud toeMa die huis ver-
laat het en Pa al sy woede op my uitgehaal
het. Pa het my baie rondgeruk en gepluk.
Ek was bang vir alles en my pa het my vir
alles blameer. Ek het begin sigarette en
dagga rookenhet baie gedrink, s dieman
van Namibi.
Almal van hulle is f verwys na n reha-
bilitasiesentrum f het self besluit tot hier
toe en nie verder nie.
Waar hulle eers dwelms misbruik het,
het dwelms hulle nou misbruik.
In die sentrum het almal die woord ver-
slawing beter verstaan.
Ver-slaaf-ing. Hulle het slawe geword.
Hy gaan voort: My ouers het gedink ek
slaap oor byvriende enhet niks geweet van
dwelms nie. Ons het nooit daaroor gepraat
nie.My ouers het altyd geld gegee as ek vra
enekhet somsgeldbyhulle gesteel en soms
goed uit die huis verkoop vir n bietjie ek-
stra geld. Toe ek op 17 verslaaf geword het
aan heroen, het ek baie gewig verloor. Op
18 het ek 46 kg geweeg.
My ouers het iets begin vermoed, maar
ek het ges dit is van akademiese spanning
dat ek nie kan eet nie. Hulle het gedink dit
is gewone adolessente probleme. Ek dink
hulle was te skaam en bang om te dink dat
hul kind dwelms gebruik.
Hy het later vir vier maande opgehou en
baie goed gedoen. Hy het n motorfiets ge-
kry en het lang ente gery as hy niks ge-
had het om te doen
nie.
Was verveeld
Maar toe een Son-
dag ...
Ek was verveeld
en sonder om te
dinkhet ekweer he-
roen gaan koop en
gerook. Tot vandag
toe kan ek dit nie
verstaan nie, want
ek wou regtig nie terugkeer na die ou le-
wenswyse nie. Ek was toe in n motorfiets-
ongeluk en my gesig was vermink en ek
was blind. Dit was n aaklige tyd vol pyn
en selfverwyt. Ek het geglo God straf my
oor my dwelmgebruik.
Die versoeking is altyd daar om terug
te val in die greep van dwelms, s hy.
n Ander een s: As ek in die strate in
Ravensmead stap en ek ruik die dagga-
walms, dan sper my niesgatte oepe soes n
pd sn. Dan knyp ek my neus toe en stap
weg. Die lus duur net n minuut of twee en
dangaanditweg.Ekdinknet aandie string
negatiewe gevolge wat wag as ek weer
dwelms of alkohol gebruik.
Die man wat in die vroe sewentigs
Kaapstad toe gekomhet, en bevryding in
alkohol gevind het, voeg by: Vandag is dit
nie virmybelangrikomdaardie jare te ont-
hou nie. Daar is niks wat ek daaraan kan
verandernie enekkandit nie terugkrynie.
Wat nou vir my onmeetbaar belangrik
is, is dat ek vanoggend nugter wakker ge-
word het en dat ek hopelik vanaand nugter
sal gaan slaap. N meer as 16 jaar leef ek
nog steeds een dag op n slag en ekweet dat
my nugterheid met
een onbesonne daad
van my weggeneem
kan word.
Ek het nie plan-
ne om nugter te bly
nie,maar slegs hier-
die een wete: dat ek
nooit weer wil
drink nie, dat ek nie
hierdie nuwe ek
weer in drank gaan
verdrink nie. My
nugter lewe is te kosbaar om weg te gooi.
Voordat jy wegbreek van die dwelm-
greep kan aaklige ervarings jou elke nou
en dan nugter laat skrik, soos die man ver-
tel met die pa wat hommishandel het: Ek
was op dwelms en het by n prostituut ge-
kuier. Tien jaar gelede het ek vir n agent-
skap in Seepunt gewerk, wat toe een aand
beroof is.
My hande was vasgebind terwyl die ro-
wers twee kollegas se kele afgesny het. Ek
het n hek uit sy skarniere gehardloop. La-
ter het ek angsaanvalle begin kry en het
probeer om vigs te kry sodat ek kon dood-
gaan. Ek het twee jaar op straat gebly.
Maar elkeen van die bogenoemde mense
is gerehabiliteer, en kan vir nou met n
bre bors hul storie uitbasuin.
Die man van die westelike kusstreek
sluit af: Hoewel ek julle nie kan sien nie,
kan ek praat en hoor en die boodskap van
verlossing verkondig. Jongmense moet
baie versigtig wees vir dagga, want dit is
waar my probleme begin het.
Van my ou vriende is twee van dwelms
dood en n derde is in die tronk. Ek is blind,
maar ek lewe en ek is vry.
Hulle het gedink dit
is gewone adoles
sente probleme. Ek
dink hullewas te
skaamenbang om
tedink dat hul kind
dwelmsgebruik.

@andrebakkes
A
28-year-old Nigerian man who was
granted asylum in South Africa, was
arrested in Parow last week for deal-
ing in drugs.
According to local police spokesperson
CaptainKevinWilliams, the foreignnation-
als asylum documents expired in 2015.
Metro Police were on crime prevention
duties when they received anonymous in-
formation about drugs being sold from
someones room, elaborates Williams.
The police officials responded immedi-
ately to the building where the alleged ille-
gal activitieswere taking place. Upon arriv-
al the police officials went to the second
floor to a certain room.
The door was apparently already open
when the officers walked in and identified
themselves to the suspect asMetro police of-
ficers.
Theynoticed several packets of dagga and
tik lying scattered on the table and proceed-
ed to search the premises.
The officers found 148 packets of dagga,
three bank bags with dagga, seven packets
of tik, three scales and cash to the value of
R1453. They also found the expired asylum
documents.
The chairperson of the Parow Communi-
ty Policing Forum (CPF), Roger Cannon,
says it ismore often thannot foreignnation-
als who sell drugs in Parow.
The police are doing everything they
can, but they facemany difficulties, such as
the fact that the suspect needs to be found
to be in possession of the drugs. Secondly,
as soon as they arrest someone, another
takes that dealers place. Yet another obsta-
cle is that the police arrest someone and
then they are released on bail the next day.
Captain Williams thanked the communi-
ty: We at Parow police extend our appreci-
ation towards the community members for
the positive information that resulted in the
arrest, concludes Williams.
Drug dealer nabbed
Drugs and cash were confiscated from the
house of a man suspected of drug dealing.

Do you know of an elderly person who is
making a profound difference in the commu-
nity?
Then why not nominate them for a Com-
munity Champions Elders Award.
They may be feeding the hungry children
in your street or knitting jerseys, blankets
or teddies for babies in hospitals.
They may also be running a soup kitchen
for the homeless or even provide free lift
clubs for their peers on pension or social
grant payout days or their weekly shopping
trips.
TygerBurger and Specsavers are looking
to honour these elderly gems who, despite
their age, are still going out of their way to
make a difference in the lives of others and
continue to service their community. Elder-
ly citizens from anywhere in the Cape who
aremaking a difference in the lives of others
can be nominated in two categories, ages 70-
80 and 80 plus.

Wednesday 20 July.
A panel of judges consisting of representa-
tives fromSpecSavers, SACare Forum,Tyg-
erBurger and its sister publications,Peoples
Post and City Vision, will select three final-
ists in each of the two categories. The final-
ists will be notified by Monday 15 August.
They will later be featured in TygerBur-
ger, Peoples Post and City Vision.
The first TygerBurger SpecSavers Com-
munity Champions Elders Award function
is set to take place on International Older
Persons Day on Saturday 1 October in the
form of a high tea. Wonderful prizes will be
awarded to show the appreciation and affir-
mation to the three finalists in each category
and the people who nominated the winners.

n Ope brief
aan ons
Bokafrigter
Beste Allister
Dalk is dit die Franse wyn en die
smaaklike Europese cuisine wat veroor-
saak dat jou ingevoerde Springbokke so
bietjie oorgewig en lusteloos op die
speelveld lyk.
Of dalk is die aanpassing van die
swaar, nat velde in Europa na die harde,
vinnige velde van Suid-Afrika te moeilik
om in n kort tydjie te maak.
Maar iets veroorsaak dat die Vermeu-
lens en Louws van die lewe net n
skaduwee van hulself was in die eerste
twee toetse teen die Iere. So bietjie
loodvoetig en lomp, n?
Om daardie rede wil ek jou aanraai om
maar te hou by die Suid-Afrikaners wat
hul brood op eie bodem verdien.
En plaaslike spelers, Allister, wat op
huidige spelpeil hul plek in die span
verdien.
Ons praat nie hier van die regte
kleursamestelling van die span nie. Ons
praat ook nie hier
van ervaring nie.
My beroep op jou
is juis om te
vergeet van erva-
ring en prestasies
uit die verre
verlede. Frik du
Preez en Naas
Botha gaan byvoor-
beeld nie nou die
oplossing wees nie.
Ook nie Victor of
Jean nie.
Kies die ouens
wat vanjaar
uitgeblink het in
die superrugby-kompetisie. Manne soos
Ruan Combrinck, Warren Whiteley en
Jaco Kriel. Kyk net watter reuse-verskil
Ruan en Warren al klaar gemaak het.
Daars ander spelers ook. Maar ek wil
nou nie t voorskriftelik klink nie, want
jy sal dalk s dis maklik om van die
kantlyn af raad te gee.
En dit is seker, maar tog wil ek my
beskeie mening uitspreek en jou vra om
jou spanne met die oog op die toekoms te
kies. Oor vier jaar wil jy n ervare span
na die Wreldbekertoernooi neem, nie n
ouetehuis (soos jy weet wie) nie.
Gee hierdie opkomende sterre die
geleentheid om ervaring op te doen al
verloor jy aanvanklik n paar toetse en al
s die ondersteuners en media ook wat.
Maar teen die volgende Wreldbeker-
toernooi gaan jy die laaste lag. Want dan
gaan jy n span vol jong, hardebaarde
saamvat, wat die stampe en stote van
toetsrugby ken en onder die knie het.
Dis die enigste manier om te roll,
Allister! Trust me on this one!

gebruik weens vrees vir viktimisasie).

The other day it was reported
that 300 members of one party
in the Western Cape jumped
ship to join the opposition.
This tells me one of two
things:
They all suddenly had an
epiphany about the bad
policies of the previous party,
or they were promised some-
thing.
Now this is nothing new and
it is perceived to work to the
benefit of the party gaining the
new members. It does not.
It does however, unfortunate-
ly, just show how shallow
some people are when it comes
to election time as they are
serving themselves and not the
communities they supposedly
represent. As soon as a better
offer comes along, they will
jump again.
There is one description for
actions like this, and its called
political whoring.

It is indeed encouraging and
comforting that Eskom is
training its personnel suitably
to operate its nuclear power
station, before it blows up and
takes all of Cape Town with it
(Scarce nuclear skills har-
nessed, TB Table View, 15
June). However, what Eskom
also needs to tell us and
prove to the public is that it
has the necessary plan and the
money in reserve to clean up
the mess that is left behind
once a nuclear power station is
decommissioned. This part of
the equation nobody talks
about all one hears is that
nuclear power is cheap, but the
fact that the costs associated
with the clean-up after decom-
missioning run into billions, is
swept under the carpet.

nuclear power stations, and it
has been found that the cost of
making it safe for other
occupation, is currently
something in the region of
R80 billion per station!
It could be argued that
another such power station
near St Francis / Oyster Bay is
not such a bad location, as it
can be shut off from public
access after decommissioning
for decades, but the same
cannot be said about Koeberg.
This one is being surrounded
more and more by residential
suburbs, ignorant of the associ-
ated dangers of nuclear radia-
tion, which can easily happen
by accident and by which
time its too late. To even
consider building another one
nearby, or anywhere within
50km of Cape Towns boundary,
is just plain stupid and irre-
sponsible. Any new nuclear
power station should be built, if
at all, as far from human
habitation as possible some-
thing we are certainly not short
of in this country.
Its high time we stop being
starry-eyed about nuclear
power. It might be cheap, but it
certainly is anything but cheap
to build, if properly done, and
far from cheap to clean up the
site after use, never mind all
the safe waste disposal costs
over the years. A big shroud
hangs over much of the issues
associated with nuclear power,
and the public is being kept
ignorant on purpose.

hat some called a shock-tactic ad-
vertisement campaign, improved
the overall seatbelt compliance in
Cape Town by an astonishing 27%.
The northern suburbs measured the
highest compliance rate with 72% of all ve-
hicle occupants wearing a seatbelt.
Snap surveys were done before the
launch of the campaign inMarch and again
on Tuesday 3 May, six weeks into the cam-
paign.
In the northern suburbs the surveys took
place on the corner of Voortrekker and De
La Ray Roads in Bellville, during two time
slots in peak-time morning and afternoon
traffic, with 303 vehicles observed.
According to the results that were re-
leased by the Department of Transport and
Public Works last week, 72% of all the vehi-
cle occupants were wearing seatbelts in the
second survey, compared to the 51%compli-
ance rate of the pre-campaign survey.
In the CBD post-campaign compliance
was measured at 66% 10% higher, in
Mitchells Plain 42% 16% higher, and in
Khayelitsha it remained 30%.
The First Kiss campaign was released
inMarch this year, with a hard-hitting tele-
vision commercial at the core of it. The com-
mercial, whichwas the subject of heated de-
bate levelled at its graphic portrayal, shows
the consequences of not buckling up.
Donald Grant, minister of transport and
public works in theWestern Cape, was elat-
ed with these results, saying the result of
the campaigns impact was successful.
International best practice and in-depth
research into local audience perceptions
drove the development and production of
the ad, with an impact assessment compo-
nent built into the project. The assessment
of the campaigns impact has proven that
the scientific, evidence driven methodolo-
gies employed to create First Kiss really
worked, he says.
According to Grant these improvements
were driven mainly by behaviour change
in Belville, the CBD and Mitchells Plain,
with less impact recorded in Khayelitsha,
despite a concentration of outdoor advertis-
ing supporting the commercial in the area.
This aspect of the campaign has been ex-
tremely influential in howwe design the re-
search into our next TV advertising cam-
paign, which is centred on our #BoozeFre-
eRoads theme forNovember, December and
January. It is also driving the development
of a new activation of First Kiss for Sep-
tembers #AlwaysBuckleUp theme, he
says.
We will also be analysing fatalities and
injury data as these become available to
track this impact. So far the data is extreme-
ly promising, as passenger fatalitynumbers
from May 2016 (20) were 30% below passen-
ger fatalities numbers for both May 2014
andMay 2015 (both 26), although the depart-
ment cautions against drawing conclusions
regarding this aspect of the campaign im-
pact. Muchmore data will need to be accu-
mulated and analysed, he concludes.
While TV and cinema airings have now
wrapped up, First Kiss continues online,
with ongoing billboard support.

line, can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/

runk drivers beware!
After an absence of five years,
the Drger breathalyser will be
backonour roads as ofMonday 1August.
TheDepartment of Transport and Pub-
lic Works in the Western Cape has been
given the green light to reintroduce so-
called Evidentiary Breath Alcohol Test-
ing (EBAT), commonly referred to as
the Drger, after the National Prose-
cuting Authority (NPA) confirmed that
the reintroduction can take place and is
to be piloted in the Western Cape.
EBAT uses a machine which can read
the amount of alcohol on someones
breath. It is called evidentiary as the
reading can be produced as evidence to
prosecute people accused of drinking
and driving.
Thismachine, the peoplewhooperate
it, and the location it operates in, must
all pass a very specific and demanding
set of tests in order to be used to prose-
cute suspects, says Donald Grant, pro-
vincial minister of transport and public
works.
Thrown out in 2011
The reintroduction of EBAT is the cul-
mination of years of dedicated work by
the Department of Transport and Public
Works and Safely Home, following the
State v Hendricks judgement in 2011,
which saw the Drger breathalyser be-
ing withdrawn from use.
In the case, the judge found that there
were problems in some of the ways in
which the Drger device was used, lead-
ing to the acquittal of the accused who
had been charged with driving with a
breath alcohol level higher than the legal
limit (of 0,05g per 100ml), says Grant.
More importantly, however, is that the
judge also found that breathalysers are
a reliable means of testing for alcohol in
a suspect, and that they should be used
as a tool to eradicate the scourge of
drunk driving for the betterment of soci-
ety.
Using the judgement as a guiding
tool, the Department of Transport and
Public Works then created a task team
to work through and correct all of the
problems which the court had identi-
fied, says Grant.
Ready for full rollout
The task team included experts from
the NPA, the national Department of
Transport, the South African Bureau of
Standards, the Western Cape Provincial
Traffic Services and the Gene Louw
Traffic College in Brackenfell
The task teamhas completed its work
and is ready for the full roll-out of EBAT
across the province. We are confident
that the reintroduction of EBATwill add
yet another weapon in our arsenal to rid
our roads of dangerous drunk drivers.
I am confident that the reintroduc-
tion of EBAT will see offenders receive
swift justice, thereby deterring others
from engaging in such life-threatening
behaviour, and refraining from getting
behind the wheel of a car after consum-
ing alcohol.
Dreaded Drger
gets green light
The City of Cape Town is preparing to track
down and prosecute callers who abuse its 107
Public Emergency Communication Centre
number.
Of the 532 682 calls answered by emergency
operators in 2015, 102 217 or 20% were prank
calls. A look at themonthly statistics reveals
an average of just over 8500 prank calls a
month, with spikes experienced in January,
April and August.
The calls range from emergency hoaxes
to the vilest verbal abuse, but also, more dis-
turbingly, calls of a very perverse nature. It
is unacceptable that our operators, who are
there to do a very serious job, have to endure
this type of abuse with no recourse except to
cut the call, says the Citys Mayco member
for safety and security, JP Smith.
Our system allows us to pick up exactly
where the call is coming from. I have in-
structed the Citys Special Investigations
Unit to extract information on the top 10 ha-
bitual offenders and lay charges in terms of
national legislation that makes such prank
and hoax calls to an emergency call centre
an offence. A fewwell-publicised convictions
will serve as a good deterrent if we can get
them, adds Smith.

A
pplication for special votes during
the upcoming local elections
opened on Friday 10 June and clos-
es on Friday 8 July.
It is important to apply early for this
voting right, should you not be able to
vote on election day onWednesday 3 Au-
gust, says ward councillor Marian Ni-
euwoudt.
There are es-
sentially two
types of special
votes firstly
Type 1, were a
voter goes to their
local voting dis-
trict to cast their
vote on Monday 1
or Tuesday 2 Au-
gust, and second-
lywhere thevoter
receives a home
visit from the Independent Electoral
Commission (IEC) to cast their vote.
A Type 1 special vote can be applied
for by any registered voter who forwhat-
ever reason be it travel, business, or
work will not be able to vote onWednes-
day 3 August. They will be able to apply
for a special vote and if successful, will
be able to cast their vote at the polling
station at which they are registered to
vote, on the special voting days prior to
the election, she explains.
Application for this type of special vote
can be done in three ways: an SMS to
32249, an online submission atwww.elec-
tions .org.za, or a submission of form
MEC35 at the IEC office in Bellville or
elsewhere.
A Type 2 special vote is only for the
sick and housebound. In this instance, a
voter would apply for an IEC official to
visit them at their home on special vot-
ing days because they are notmobile and
or too sick to vote on election day. People
requiring a home visit must reside and
be visited in the voting district in which
they are registered to vote, she says.
Application for a home visit must be
done using the
MEC35 form either in
hard copy and sub-
