New look for old depotASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
T he Claremont Improvement DistrictCompany (CIDC) will soon move totheir new premises in Stegman Road.
This follows an application to lease theproperty owned by the City of Cape Town.The application was discussed at the Pro-
tea subcouncil meeting last week wherecouncillors unanimously gave it the greenlight.According to a report the property was
previously used by the City’s Parks and Sol-id Waste departments as a depot. It is nowvacant.Abdul Kerbelker, executive manager of
the CIDC, welcomes the decision made bycouncil.“We are grateful to council and look for-
ward tomoving into ournewspace,”he says.The CIDC plan on moving their office on
street level where they are more accessibleto the public. They are currently based inthe upper ground floor of Stadium on Mainon Main Road, Claremont.“We are hoping to relocate some time next
year after we have completed the renova-tions,” he says.The report states the once historic build-
ing is now deteriorating.Due to its dilapidated state, the report says
it would cost the City R250 000 for repairwork.In addition, the City would have to fork
out R15 000 a month for security guards toprevent vandalism if the building remainedvacant.“However, the leasing of the property will
relieve council of the maintenance burdenand a rental income will be generated,” itfurther explains.Kerbelker says the interior of the property
is run down, but no vagrancy or criminal ac-tivity has been reported.“While the property has been vacant the
City has placed a security guard on thepremises,” he says.The report states that no objections were
received for the proposed application by theCIDC. However, the lease will contain a six-month notice clause in the event the Citydoes require the property formunicipal pur-poses.The property’s heritage restrictions were
consideredwhenperusing theCIDCapplica-tion in terms of their proposed redevelop-ment plan and daily usage.The report also highlights the benefit of
the services offered by the CIDC in Clare-mont.TheCIDC’s proposal is to refurbish and re-
develop the entire site.Kerbelker explains they want to create a
publicly accessible centre which will alsoprovide residents and businesseswith infor-mation on the history of Claremont.They also plan to remove the vibracrete
and rubble from the site and landscape thegarden to create a green lungwithin the cen-tre of Claremont.“We want to incorporate a green space
which is inviting and will be somethingfresh for that part of Claremont,” he says.The building will also be used as an office
for the CIDC.The report recommends the property be
used as headquarters, a memorial site andfor the provision of cleansing and securityservices.The organisation will have the lease for a
period of two years and eleven months.V What are your thoughts on the relocation? Startingwith the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

ROAD SAFETY
Dangers of crossing overMICHELLE LINNERT
@linnertMB
Almost 400 pedestrians have died acrossCape Town in just four years whilecrossing the city’s busy freeways.
These are some of the staggering statis-tics released by the SA National RoadsAgencyLimited (Sanral) in an attempt to re-new awareness of this dangerous practiceand to prevent pedestrian deaths.“For the period May 2010 to September
2014, there have been 396 pedestrian colli-sions on freeways in Cape Town, of which153 were confirmed fatal on the scene,” saidRandall Cable, engineering head of Sanral’sprovincial road network operations.“The pressing need (is to cover) the in-
creasing trend of pedestrians being runover on city freeways, many of which resultin fatalities. The numbers are startling, andreason for major concern to all stakehold-ers.”
Major concernThe statistics provided are the results of
a pedestrian activity study where Sanralcounted the number of pedestrians crossingfreeways using CCTV cameras.“This revealed that in a period of one
week, there were more than 36 000 pedestri-an activities on Cape Town’s freeways,” Ca-ble said. “This is mindblowing, consideringthat it is illegal for pedestrians to be on free-ways – and for good reason.”Cable said they wanted to share their
knowledge with the public to heightenawareness of current initiatives in the engi-neering, law enforcement and educationfields, as research is underway.“We need to sensitise motorists to this is-
sue [and] share our information with roadusers.”
Bird’s eye viewHe said in Cape Town they cover 155km
of the busiest freeways with the FreewayMonitoring System. “We have a bird’s eyeview of what is happening on our freeways,and there is a call to action.“With theuse ofmore than 230CCTVcam-
eras that we operate, we have been captur-ing all freeway-related incident data, in-cluding incidents involving pedestrians.”André Nel, City of Cape Town’s traffic op-
erationsdeputy chief, said the issuewithpe-destrians was “a huge challenge”.“Freeways aremanaged by the provincial
department, but from the City’s side all wecan do is enforce the rules. We find a lot ofpedestrians and people stopping to pick up
or drop off pedestrians to and from work,”he said. Although pedestrian freeway cross-ing is illegal, Nel said theymainly finedmo-torists as they would have undergone driv-er’s licence tests. This was not always thecase with pedestrians, he said. “We havefined pedestrians. But they offer excusessuch as that it is too dangerous to cross atthe pedestrian bridges over the freeways asthey say they might be attacked,” Nel said,adding if that were the case, there “shouldhave been a large number of cases”.The challenge lay in the ratio of pedestri-
ans to officers. “If you consider the 36 000illegal pedestrians crossing the freewaysand the 250 to 280 traffic officers availableit is a huge challenge,” Nel said.
WALK THIS WAY: Pedestrians still choose crossing busy freeways over using legal pedestrian foot-bridges, claiming to be attacked on the walkways.

PINELANDS
Shining alight on parksafetyASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Solar powered panels recently installedin four parks in ward 53 are set to pro-vide better security for the area.
Funding for the project was sourced bycouncillor BrianWatkyns from theward al-location budget.As these parks are dark at night, he says
there were considered unsafe.“These parks created perfect cover for il-
legal activities and by those with criminalintent without fear of detection,” he says.Watkyns explains with 18 parks in the
ward – of which over 10 were found to beunlit at night – there were insufficientfunds to do all these parks.“Itwasdecided to choose onepark in each
community.”The panelswere erected at the end of July
at a cost of R17 021 for each one includingall the fittings and installation.Maritz Electrical was the contractor.The four parks which were identified are
PoplarWay in Pinelands, a park nearAlba-tross Flats in Thornton, Bhunga Drive inLanga and Perseverance Road in MaitlandGarden Village.“The panels are placed on very high poles
to prevent vandalism as has happened else-where in the city where solar panels havebeen stolen,” Watkyns says.He explains the ward committee request-
ed solar powered lights to be installed, butthese were found to be too expensive.“However before the work started City
Parks Officials found a new solar panelproduct which was less expensive and fellwithin budget,” Watkyns says.The decision on where to place the solar
panels were based on both how dark thepark was and level of vandalism that hastaken place.“Each parkwas fittedwith one solar pow-
ered panel in the vicinity of the play equip-ment” he says.The panelswill bemaintained by the City
of Cape Town’s Parks Department.Watkyns says criminals and homeless
people usually avoid lit up areas thereforethe panels would act as a deterrent.In addition, he says, they will assist
neighbourhoodwatches as theywill be ableto observe anyone acting suspiciously inthe park.In Maitland Garden Village the panels
have already assisted in curbing suspiciousactivity in the park and no vandalism hasbeen reported.

TOURISM
Cashing in onadventure travelNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A multi-billion rand industry aimed atgetting hearts racing is one tourismsector the Western Cape is looking to
cash in on.This as the provincial Department of
Tourism and Economic Opportunity identi-fies adventure tourism as one of six nichetourism lifestyle experiences to focus on forthe next five years.
This focus will include research into eco-nomic impact and job creation that the sec-tor delivers.
Global trends show there has been an up-surge in the adventure travel in recentyears. So says Judy Lain, chief marketingofficer at Wesgro, the official tourism, tradeand investment promotion agency for CapeTown and the Western Cape.
“Reports compiled by an AdventureTourism Market study in 2013 focused onEurope, North America and South Ameri-ca, which make up 69% of all internationaldepartures. Of these tourists, nearly 42%reported an adventure activity as theirmain activity on their last trip, projectinga possible adventure travel market worth$263bn. These kinds of insights suggest tous that there is a continued increase in glo-bal adventure tourists departing from thesemarkets,” she says.
With all this spend up for grabs, there isa need to develop tourism infrastructure,routes and niche lifestyle experiences thatflow from Cape Town as the hook to spreadinternational and domestic visitors, Lainsays.
“As a destination blessed with a diversearray of adventure activities throughoutour province, we need to capitalise on thissustained growth of adventure tourists. Weknow that adventure tourism is significantfor Cape Town and the Western Cape to con-tinue to grow our visitor numbers,” she
points out.This trend has seen tour operators spe-
cialising in activities aimed to get theadrenaline pumping.
Adventure Cape Town director Gregg Co-hen says this government focus, combinedwith the exchange rate, is stimulatinggrowth.
“With a weaker currency, things like skydiving, paragliding and helicopter rides aremuch cheaper to do in South Africa com-pared to Europe or the USA. With all thebeautiful mountain paths we have a varietyof choices for hiking and canyoning,” he ex-plains.
Cape Town’s unique nature has made ita perfect adventure tourism destination,says Cape Town Tourism CEO Enver Du-miny.
“Cape Town’s abundance of mountainsand sea is the ultimate backdrop for instantadventure. We have very capable, safety-fo-cused operators at work in the sector andwe believe that adventure is a big drawcardfor many travellers, particularly globalyouth and bucket-list adventurers who liketo conquer and share,” he says.
However, the influx of tourists has seenlocals missing out, Cohen says.
“Places like Crystal Pools in Gordon’sBay now require permits to enter. As theyonly allow about 50 people in per day to goenjoy the hike and pools, often the permitsall go to foreigners who love to hike. Thismeans locals can’t go there for that day,”he explains.
In addition, prices are catered to the tour-ist market and may be too steep for localsto go out and enjoy, Cohen says.
But Lain believes the boost to tourismwill bring more jobs.
“Adventure tourism is seen as an impor-tant area that will help drive economicgrowth, job creation and geographic spreadof visitors and will reduce the impact of sea-sonality in the province” she says.

Crime in focusASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
T he installation of Licence Plate Rec-ognition (LPR) cameras in Ronde-bosch has contributed to the dramatic
decrease in various crimes.According to Bruce Burmeister, chair-
person of the Rondebosch Community Im-provement District (RCID), the camerashave proven to be extremely effective inidentifying vehicles used for criminal ac-tivity.Speaking during their annual meeting
lastweek,Burmeister urged residents to re-port any suspicious behaviour to the RCIDsecurity hub as it could save a life and helpprevent a crime.“I want to encourage residents to make
use of the hub. It is there for them whenthey feel unsafe. If we do not report crimeor anything or anyone suspicious, it doesnot help to deter the criminals coming intoto the area,” he said.Burmeister also raised concerns about
house alarms going off more than it should.This, he explained, resulted in private se-
curity patrol vehicles attending to falsealarms and reducing the response time forlegitimate emergencies.“This is a major problem and we need to
address it urgently. I suggest that if your
alarm goes off more often than it shouldthat it be checked,” he says.People’s Post previously reported that
while it is difficult for the RCID to pinpointif there has been an overall decrease incrime, many crimes have been preventedsince the installation of the camera system(“Beady eyes keep criminals at bay”, Peo-ple’s Post, 30 January).In her report RCID manager Shirley Al-
dum said in three recent cases, there werethree separate arrests made as the LPRcameras caught suspected criminals asthey entered Rondebosch.Commenting on crime trends, she ex-
plained in most cases cars are being usedto enter and escape Rondebosch.With theLPRsystem,RCIDpatrollers are
proactive rather than reactive.“The cameras add another layer of secu-
rity in the area. It has proven that crimescan be prevented or criminals apprehendedand convicted,” Aldum said.Burmeister also announced plans to ex-
pand the camera system and appealed toresidents who have not contributed to doso. He explained the roll-out would dependon the funds raised, software and sites se-lected.“We are concentrating on fine-tuning the
camera systems and ensuring they add totop notch security presence in the area.”

More ‘green’ jobs for those in needThe expansion of Westlake conserva-
tion depot will lead to further job op-portunities.
Councillor Johan van der Merwe, Maycomember for Energy, Environmental andSpatial Planning, says this Invasive Spe-cies Unit’s biological control facility inTokai is a prime example of how the Cityof Cape Town’s environmental manage-ment programmes can drive job creationfor people with special needs.“The programme is also geared at em-
ploying people who have been previouslydisadvantaged,” he says.Van derMerwe says the City plans to cre-
ate more opportunities as it expands itsgreen jobs operations across the metro.During a site visit at the Westlake depot
last week, guests were able to experiencehow the City’s environmentalmanagementprogrammes are contributing to inclusivejob creation.The visit included the City’s biological
control insect rearing facility.The employees use various biological
control tactics at the facility.These tactics include the rearing and re-
lease of natural enemies to control invasiveplants. This method is an organic, cost-ef-fective and environmentally safe way of en-vironmental management.This forms part of the City’s integrated
pest management programme.Van der Merwe says there are currently
employees at the biological control facilityrearing insects to make sure that the fieldworkers have the right number of insectsto release.Thenursery at theWestlake depot is driv-
en by staff employed through the Kader As-mal project – a partnership programme be-tween theCity, theNatural ResourcesMan-agement Programmes and the SouthAfrican National Biodiversity Institute.A visit to an Early Detection and Rapid
Response team working on the M3 and attheBlackRiver saw the release of biologicalcontrol insects on water hyacinth.“Workers have been tasked with improv-
ing the city’s freshwater and terrestrial eco-systems along the river,” Van der Merwesays.This includes removal of invasive plants,
river clean-ups, litter disposal and the re-pair of leaking sewers. “The project has sig-nificantly improved the state of our riversand wetlands, in collaboration with Trans-port for Cape Town,” he says.“We are on the right track, but pro-
grammes can become an even greater toolfor inclusive job creation in the green eco-nomic sector.Weare serious about embark-ing on a more sustainable path for our fu-ture generations.”
RIVER CLEANING: Early Detection and Rapid Response team workers on the M3 and at the Black Riverwere seen clearing the river of invasive plant species as well as rubbish.

safety liaison officer at the City of CapeTown’s Safety andSecurityDirectorate, dida presentation on the “broken window con-cept”.He explained an area that is not well kept
creates the perception that there is disor-der. “People create circumstances forcrime, gangsterism and prostitution by ne-glecting their public and personal spaces,”Viljoen said.Residents were encouraged to take own-
ership of their personal space, picking uplitter, cleaning walls which have graffitiand fixing broken windows, gates anddoors.“The moment the community takes the
necessary steps in creating a safer andcleaner space it makes it difficult for crimi-nals to come into anarea as theywill realisethey are being watched,” he said.One resident raised the issueofhomeless-
ness and asked how they can assist in curb-ing this problem.
“I personally feel that police are giving alot of lip service and not actually tacklingthe issue,” the resident said.Viljoen urged residents to stop giving
food andmoney as this only keeps vagrantscoming back.“The cycle will continue if residents keep
on givingwithout thinking about the conse-quences,” he said.In response, Claremont Police Station
commander Lieutenant-Colonel NoelJoseph said as Law Enforcement is taskedwith tackling homelessness, police are lim-ited in what they can do.However, Josephexplained theyhold reg-
ular joint operations with Law Enforce-ment to address the problem.“Wehave stop-and-search operations and
found dangerous weapons, such as knives,on homeless people which we confiscated.”Joseph said residents needed to “play
their part” by not giving food ormoney, butto support local shelters instead.“The same goes for putting out your bin
the night before. Homeless people see it asa reason to be in the area,” he added.Claremont CPF chairperson Mike Kabat
said although people criticise the policethey also need to support them.“If we want things to change in the com-
munity we need to start working togetherwith police to fight crime,” Kabat said.V What are your thoughts on crime in the cluster?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516. SMSes cost R1.

FIREFIGHTERS TRAIN
All fired upF ire and rescue services are gear-
ing up for summer, when tempera-tures and strong winds promote the
spread of blazes.Last summer, firefighters attended to
over 5 000 structural and vegetationfires.
The City of Cape Town has 900 profes-sional firefighters who can be called up-on for major incidents.
Of these, aminimumof 240 are ondutyper shift and available on a 24-hour basisat the 30 fire stations across the city.
These numbers will be bolstered by120 seasonal firefighters who form partof the so-called “hot shot” crews, usedprimarily to fight vegetation fires.
Over 400 hopefuls were put throughtheir paces in recent months.
Applicants needed a Grade 10 certifi-cate, police clearance, and were re-quired to complete numeracy and litera-cy tests as well as a physical trial whichrequired them to run 2.4km in 11 min-utes, carry two 20kg drums for a dis-tance of 100m and do 30 push-ups and sit-ups in less than a minute each.
The first batch of seasonal firefighterswill be on duty from Saturday 1 Novem-ber and the second batch from Monday1December. Their contractswill runun-til the end of April 2015.
And 19 reservist firefighters havenearly completed their first course.
FEELING THE HEAT: Prospective firefighters in training. :
Transit plan to take city forwardA transit-oriented development has beenidentified as one of the key components tomakeCape Town themost efficient city inAf-rica by 2032.To this end, a transit-oriented development
strategy is in the process of being drafted bytheCity ofCapeTown todetermine the futureof public transport systems across themetropole.This strategy is to be completed within the
next 10 months, says Mayoral Committeemember for Transport Brett Herron.“Howwe develop and use our urban spaces
for living, working and travelling will verymuch determine the quality of life of our resi-dents in the years to come,” he says.“This is why Transport for Cape Town, in
its IntegratedPublicTransportNetworkplanfor the next 18 years, has taken the path of
comprehensive transit-oriented develop-ment to ensure we bring our residents closerto their workplace and improve access to andefficiency of public transport.”Development in the city is currently char-
acterised by low densities, long distances be-tween residential areas and workplaces, aswell as historical disparities where the ma-jority of low-income residents live far awayfrom work opportunities and have to spenda significant percentage of their income ontransport, Herron explains.Transit-oriented development is the plan-
ning, design and implementation approachthat will be championed to reverse theseanomalies. “For the City’s public transportsystem to be viable and efficient, more pas-sengers have to live and work close to thetrunk routes, be it rail or bus,” he says.

THEATRE
Reality hits homeThe opening night of award-nominated
play Silent Voice, written and directedby Aubrey Sekahbi, was attended by
theatre-lovers from across the peninsula.Described as “a deceptively clever theatri-
cal piece”, it is a gripping story of gangsterson the run after a botched robbery that turnsinto murder, with some meaningful and re-alistic commentaryabout life inmodern-daySouth Africa.The play stars Tumelo Don Mosenye, Zen-
zo Nqobe, Presley Chweneyagae, BoitumeloShisana and Tshallo Chokwe.It runs at the Baxter Theatre until Satur-
day 1 November.

K9 UNIT SUCCESSES
Suspects sniffed outAlmost 20 suspects were arrested for
drug possession in one weekend,thanks to the nose work of four-leg-
ged crime fighters.The Metro Police’s K9 Unit helped nab
dagga, mandrax and tik users for drugpossession.And their impact in collaring suspects
is noteworthy, says Mayoral Committeemember for Safety and Security JPSmith.“Our furry, four-legged members are
crucial in the fight against crime. We’vecome to learn over the years that crimi-nals are crafty when it comes to hidingtheir contraband and so we need the dogsto literally sniff out the drugs,” he says.“Just recently, one of them sniffed its
way to nearly 100 dagga stoppe hidden in
a cupboard of a house we searched. If wedidn’t have the dog, we might not havefound the drugs.”Established in 2009, the unit has 13
dogs, with another six in training. Thedogs are trained to assist on patrols andto detect narcotics and explosives.Between July 2013 and October this
year, the unit searched more than 500premises and close to 2 000 people. Thedogswere also instrumental in the confis-cation of 4 407 units of drugs, nine fire-arms andmore than 200 rounds of ammu-nition.Last weekend Metro Police also arrest-
ed 40 motorists on charges of drunk driv-ing during patrols, roadblocks and stop-and-test operations in collaboration withthe police.

There’s something powerful that comes from the actof naming.Giving something a name makes it real.
Parents agonise over naming their children because aname makes you important.It gives you an identity. It gives you dignity.Why, then, do we take away the identity of victims of
violent crimes?Some argue concealing the identity of a rape ormurder
victim protects him or her.But it also reduces that person to little more than a
number in the crime statistics.We take away their humanity – their dignity – when
we refuse to name crime victims.Opinion pieces in international media have cried out
against reportage of theOscar Pistorius trial, saying jour-nalists have lost sight of the murder victim, ReevaSteenkamp, by focusing solely on Pistorius.His trial. His sentence. His girlfriend.The recent discovery of several women, killed and
dumped in an open field in Kensington, highlights this.These women were stripped of their dignity and their
identity.Yet officials in whose care the property lies seem to
have spent more time arguing over the ownership of theproperty than concerning themselves with preventingmore of these horrific crimes.Perhaps if eachof thesewomenwerenamed, theywould
be less difficult to ignore.Perhaps if officials had to face the humanity of each vic-
tim, they would be forced to prevent this spate of crimefrom taking more women.Perhaps if we identified with these victims, we would
see in them our wives, our mothers, our sisters.If we knew their names, we would imagine their faces.They would become real to us.And that would make it impossible to ignore these
crimes.
Car guards are a menaceI am new to [Newlands] Village. Since Imoved in I have been woken every night bythe car guards outside Cardiff Castle caus-ing major noise by singing, shouting andshrieking. I have been harassed by themwhen trying to park in the day. The carguards at the Dean Street mall are also amenace. I havehad thoughts ofmovingawayas I thought I bought into a village life andthat it would be quaint, safe and protected.I am tired now of these guards. They mustleave. We do not need them. All they do ispose a threat to our peace.The car guards are known to block the
pathway for cars trying to leave parkingspaces and not allowing them to move untilthey are paid. They especially target womenas easy prey.They shout abuse at people who do not
give money.They steal from people’s bags as they as-
sist them with their parcels or with an um-brella.They tell employees in the area they must
pay themmonthly maintenance fees of hun-dreds of rands. The employees often do asthey are worried they return to a scratchedcar. Can you believe they should deal withthis while trying to earn a living them-selves?!They jump in front of oncoming cars –
with the result of themslammingbreaks andhooting – [thereby causing] an added noise.There is singing, shouting and screaming
all night – particularly the one guard whostands by the vet; he is a non-stop noise bag.Theother guards sayhe ismentallyunstableand takes drugs. How can we have a loosecanon so close to us?
When asked to keep the noise down andstop shrieking at the top of his lungs onenight, he threatened to kill my husband andget his gun and shoot him – using manyswear words. I heard him on another occa-sion threatening to kill another car guardfor encroaching on his customers. The ADTguard that sits in the hut opposite the vet al-so said the car guard had threatened his life.This is unacceptable behavior.Very evidently high on drugs at times, are
they possibly pedaling something else to thebar [patrons]? They are not rational whenlike this and pose a real threat in hurtingsomeone just trying to get to their car!People come out of restaurants and pay
them R100 notes! For what? They hardly of-fer any service besides possibly making youfeel guilty for being able to afford a meal ordrink out. They need to move away to findjobs that are actually legal – self-appointedcar guards is not legal! That is if they are ac-tually legally in our country as they seem tobe from the DRC.I have tried [a private security firmwhich
says] they cannot do anything about theseguards if they are not posing an immediatethreat at the moment they go to them. Theguards duck the moment they see them orthe police coming. I went to the police andthey said they have arrested these men be-fore but they come back.We cannot pay high prices to live in this
beautiful village and have fear and discom-fort through these car guards. They are un-stable, irrational, noisy elements in our vil-lage. We need to get rid of these guards whoare like a parking mafia.NAME WITHHELD
Building bridges in LangaI spent a wonderful Heritage Day in Langa,with some fellow residents from Rosebank.This was thanks to an amazing organisationcalled Crossing Bridges Africa (www.cross-ingbridges.org.za) whose administrative di-rectorhappens to live inour suburbandwhoextended the invitation.Sincere thanks to all the residents we met
for your warm hospitality and for sharingso much of your history with us, as well asthe excitement of your new astroturf. I had
no idea hockey was such a popular sport inthis suburb.The vision for the Langa Quarter, as ex-
plained by social entrepreneur Tony Elvin,was inspirational and I hope all of your newbusiness ventures thrive.I, for one, shall definitely be returning to
Ikaya le Langa soon for a good coffee and anight away in one of your homestays.GILL LANHAM,Rosebank
‘Beaten for being prostitute’It is with a great deal of astonishment thatI read about this incident in GreenfieldRoad, Kenilworth (“Beaten for being a pros-titute”, People’ Post, 21 October).How can this man think that hemay, with
apparent impunity, stop his car, get out andattack an innocent woman walking alongthe pavement at 09:00 on a Saturday?He attacked and beat her up, he is alleged
to have said because “she was a prostitute”.If this is the same incidentwidely reported
in the last Saturday Argus, then I under-stand the alleged suspect astonishingly seeshimself as a “victim”.Possibly because he has been charged
with assault and is appearing in the Wyn-berg Magistrate’s Court.There are, however, no grounds for his
“victimhood”.He was not responding to an attack.He stopped his car and initiated this as-
sault without any kind of provocation.I do hope the court sees throughhis flimsy
excuses and demands real restorative jus-tice for this innocent and traumatised wom-an.It is men like him who must be brought
to a court of law to explain if they can, fromwhere they derive their sense of entitlementfor this kind of assault.I will be following the case with great in-
terest, and look forward to a custodial sen-tence which will make certain that othersare not attracted to this kind of action.I live in a flat in Main Road Kenilworth
and we often have prostitutes paradingalong our pavement in front of the flats.
In every single incident where I have hadan opportunity to speak with them, theyhave been both polite and friendly.But, even if they were not, how can this
mean theymay be beaten upwith impunity?If one really wanted to demand higher
standards of the general public in respect iftheir career choices in our area, I suggestweconcentrate on unprovoked attacks and thewimping “victimhood” defence emanatingfrom this suspect because he believes it ishis right to beat up a prostitute and get awaywith it.JANE MASONKenilworth

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing azero-pressure test on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Pinelands onWednesday 5 November 2014.
This process will result in the disruption of the water supply to Pinelands from 22:00 until04:00 the following morning.
Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimaldisruption to the water supply to the affected areas.
The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smallerand much more manageable sections of the large network for the purposes of maintenanceand upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willreduce significantly the occurrence of pipe bursts and the subsequent water losses.
Residents are advised to store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use duringthis period.
The City regrets any inconvenience caused.
