HISTORY ‘GOING TO THE DOGS’

Grave mattersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A rise in metal theft and the desecrationof graves at the Old Burial Grounds inSimon’s Town has raised the ire of lo-

cals.The issue took centre stage at a communi-

ty meeting last week as neighbourhoodwatches andmembers of theCommunity Po-lice Forum (CPF) shook their heads in disbe-lief.The matter was raised by CPF deputy

chairperson David Erickson and WarrantOfficer Harry Croome of the Simon’s TownNaval Museum.Croome accompanied People’s Post on a

walk through the grounds which date backto the 1800s.He explains that many different people

from various religions and denominationshave been laid to rest at the graveyard.Croome says he has spent several hours

repairing metal railings which have rustedor been broken by vandals and petty thieves.This, he explains, has been happening for

awhile. However, frequency of the incidentshave escalated in recent weeks.“It seems that they use big stones to loosen

the railings and sell them for scrap metal.One day I saw some railings laying loosewhich had been taken from a grave, so I tookit and opened a case [of vandalism and theft]at the police station.”During the walk Croome points out sever-

al graves where the railings have been sto-len and others instances where the railingshave been repaired.He also highlighted broken tombstones

and says he witnessed a man using a largestone to break them.Croome explains there is amanwho seem-

ingly lives on the grounds andwalks arounddamaging graves and vegetation.People’s Post spots the man and asks him

for comment.After agreeing to answer questions, the

man shouts: “OK [in reference to the chain-store] is in Wynberg.”He then walks away, shouting expletives

while damaging plants in the burialgrounds.Croome says he is not blaming this man

for all the damage but believes the theft and

damage is anything but petty. “This is a veryimportant landmark in Simon’s Town. Tothe people who steal the railings, it is scrapmetal but this is part of our history and heri-tage. History is going to the dogs,” he says.Speaking at the meeting, Erickson said

“police weren’t taking thematter seriously”and he had approached Heritage WesternCape (HWC) for assistance.He explained the thefts were prosecutable

under the National Heritage Resources Actand were considered theft of heritage arte-facts.He said the CPF, along with HWC, would

host a workshop with police and officialsfrom the Simon’s Town Magistrate’s Court

around the legalities.Simon’s Town Police Station commander

Captain Jacqui Johnson says no cases ofvandalism were reported to police.She says police have not been reluctant to

take action against the man alleged to be re-sponsible for the vandalism or investigatemetal theft and says anyone who has wit-nessed the crime should open a case at thepolice station.According toErickson, theman spotted by

People’s Post also unlawfully entered a homein Forest Hill Road and says while nothingwas stolen, all the plants were re-arranged.“The owners reported it at the station but

were told by a woman constable they cannot

lay charges because the man was crazy,” hesays.Erickson says police are required to open

a case and such conduct by officers shouldbe reported to the station commander.Johnson says this was not reported to her.

“As long as all the elements of a crime exista casemust be opened. Itmust then be inves-tigated by the detectives. All crime is takenseriously by this station. For thedesecrationof a grave a case can be opened under theNational Heritage Resources Act. Weeklymeetings areheldwith theCPFat the stationas well as monthly meetings. There is alsoa WhatsApp group to which the neighbour-hood watches belong.”

TAMING THE TEENAGER

When Coke is bestGAVIN FISH

I drank two cans of Coke in the year’s firstassembly. Well, actually I opened them.The openingwasmore important than the

drinking…I spoke of my recent family hike down the

coast fromKeiMouth to Gonubie... 60kms ofbeach sand, spectacular scenery, weariness,sun and wind.At the end of each day, we collapsed at

some or other restaurant and ordered Cokeon the rocks. Almost as good as the taste wasthe magical click – the shwoosh of the canbeing opened and the clatter of ice beingdropped into our glasses.Every drink tastes better when it has been

earned.It ismore satisfying, hits the spot, and tast-

es richer, sweeter... we all know the disap-pointment of the “unearned” cup of coffee,the soft drink, drunk when not reallythirsty.The point I was making is that too many

of today’s teens have a flat Coke experienceof what should be their most thrilling years.The “rewards’ they experience are some-

what diluted and naggingly unsatisfying.Huge effort, work ethic, sweat and exhaus-

tion are not as commonplace as they shouldbe.My challenge to my school family was to

exhaust themselves… to do something dif-ferent, something new, something out oftheir narrow groove of okay activities, tolivewith the volume turned up (no, not liter-ally) and, to push themselves and allowthemselves to be pleased and satisfied withthe results of exertion (be it academic, sport-ing, culture or whatever).Nowadays it is increasingly difficult to

make attractive the belief that “the rewardsof life come closer to the end of the journey,rather than at the beginning”.Teens need to be encouraged to identify

their WIGS – Wildly Important Goals (Cov-ey) – and to understand that it should affectthe way they spend their evening, theirweekend, and their school holidays.It is about delayed gratification, some-

thingmost of us adults are still getting ahan-dle on.Spine Road High School is my current in-

spiration. Principal Rhiyaad Najaar aimedfor a 100% pass rate for 30 years.They achieved just that, all 233 of theirma-

triculants passed.Do you want to bet how good their Coke

on the rocks tastes just now?Challenge your teen to commit to some-

thing, to stick at it, to set a target, a goal andwhen it is achieved to savour and celebrateit.After all, success breeds success.

The derelict buildings in the Ocean ViewCentral Business District rang with thelaughter of children.

Young children in the area now have moreto look forward to following the opening ofa new Early Childhood Development Centre(ECD).

The new centre, which has no fixed prem-ises, is the brainchild of Johann Kikillus ofSoteria Ministries. It is aimed at helpingchildren who could not be accommodated byother centres in the mountainside commu-nity.

On Tuesday 3 February the Ocean ViewCivic Centre buzzed with excitement as chil-dren and parents lined up to register. In hisopening address Kikillus explained over thepast four years he has seen many childrenon the streets.

He says while many make it to Grade R,others didn’t. It was these children thatsparked concern as Kikillus explains theystruggled when going to school.

The centre will assist children who comefrom homes where there is drug and alcoholabuse, where parents cannot afford crechefees and childrenwhohave learningdifficul-ties.

“The reason we are opening this centre isto keep children safe and healthy. We don’thave any premises but we do have two teach-ers and if need be we will have classes undera tree,” he says.

In addition to assisting children to ensurethey have foundation phase education, thecentre will also assist troubled parents andfamilies.

Kikillus explains the ECD is part of a CareCentre soon to open in Ocean View and saystheywill go to great lengths to assist familieswhere needed.

The ECD will have a nurse to ensure thechildren are eating healthy and already hasall the stationery needed. For now they willoperate as a non-profit organisation andKikillus and the teacherswillwork as volun-teers.

Marti Weddepohl, chairperson of theOcean View ECD forum, explained like allother ECDs, the forum will oversee this cen-tre to ensure children are cared for and re-ceive the best possible education.

She encouragedmothers and caregivers toassist the centre in their bold new ventureby taking responsibility for their childrens’development.

“It is important that they are fed properly.There is a big difference between a slice ofbread with peanut butter and a cheap bag ofchips. Those things are rubbish. It is vitallyimportant that you help develop your chil-dren,” she says.

Weddepohl also touched on the emotionsof children and called on mothers to investin their children by treating them with re-spect.

Teacher Marion Hendricks called on par-ents to support the ECD. She promises togive all her love and attention and says inthe second term when the children are set-tled in, the teachers will hold classes for par-ents to teach them how to assist the childrenwith their homework.

“When they go to Grade 1, there will be alot of work. So when they come home [withhomework] don’t be shocked. We are prepar-ing them for school,” she says.

Grandmother Griet Perries says she isgrateful for the new centre.

Unable to pay crèche fees she is happy hergrandchildren will get a head start on theireducation.

Later that morning Hendricks and fellowteacher Shannon Butler wasted no time get-ting acquainted with their new class.

‘Not charged’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The investigation into three officers atOcean View Police Station continues andFar South police say they are taking the mat-ter seriously.

The three officers landed in hot water inJanuary following a murder in an areaknown as the rasta camp (“Cop conductscrutinised”, People’s Post, 27 January).

It is alleged the three officers stole threebags of dagga found in the home of the mur-dered man and tried to resell them in OceanView.

Provincial police confirmed a docket forcorruption, theft and defeating the ends ofjustice has been opened on the three officersand is being investigated by the anti-corrup-tion unit.

Muizenberg cluster commander ColonelMartin Swanepoel says the investigation isstill ongoing and the officers have not beencharged. Once the investigation has beencompleted, police will look at disciplinaryaction, he says.

Swanepoel says the officers are workingat the station and have not been suspended.They have also not been charged.

Unearthing historyMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As roadworks continue along Muizen-berg Main Road, curious onlookerswill keep a close eye onwhat workmen

may uncover.This follows the discovery of seven can-

non balls byworkmenonFriday 23 January.Peter Wright, owner of the Corner Surf

Shop and a member of the Cannon Associa-tion of South Africa, explains one of his staffnoticed the balls and alerted him.

He then swiftly contacted the contractorand Chand Environmental Consultants.

Among the find are six six-poundballs andone 24-pound ball.

George Hill of the Muizenberg HistoricalConservation Society explains with theroadworks an agreement has been put inplace which stipulates that when historicalartefacts are found, Chandhas to benotified.

He explains this is a significant find andsays the balls date back to the Battle ofMuiz-enberg in 1795.

“Itwas a significant battle and it is the rea-son we speak English in this country. Inthesemodern times a find like this is discov-

ered at the gateway to the historic mile andcultural coastline,” he says.

Hill further explains the discovery high-lights the sense of history and the past.

“It’s a most fascinating discovery and wedidn’t expect to see history unfolding in thisway. We are quite excited,” he adds.

Wright, a cannon enthusiast, explains theballs are estimated to be older than 220years.

The society and association hope the ballscould be on display in Muizenberg but Hillsays theywillwait for direction fromChand.

Wright explains the six-pound balls arelikely to have belonged to the Dutch becausethese balls were commonly used by theDutch and not the British. “The 24-poundballs were used by both sides,” he says.V What do you think should happen with the balls?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516.

MASIPHUMELELE

Fighting firesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

With rising death rates linked to firesinformal settlements across CapeTown, authorities have embarked

on a fire safety campaign.Amid the hustle and bustle of Pokela Road

in Masiphumelele, residents gathered onThursday 5 February to hear how they canhelp safeguard their homes.

Residents were visited by City of CapeTown mayor Patricia de Lille.

In her address, she explains fires in Ma-siphumelele are a concern as families con-tinue to lose their belongings.

“With all the fires in Masi, we came heretoday to help families safeguard their fami-lies and homes.”

De Lille, along with Mayoral CommitteeMember for Safety and Security JP Smith,handed out plastic bottles that are impervi-ous to paraffin.

These bottles can be used by residents tostore their paraffin and they carry the City’sfire safety message and emergency contactnumbers.

The bottles have a special safety featureas they are fitted with a safety lock (child-proof cap) to prevent spillage or accidentswhich could give rise to fires.

In January Theo Layne, Fire and RescueServices spokesperson, gave an overview of

fires in the Far South (“Flares spark investi-gation”, People’s Post, 13 January).

Most of these occurred in Masiphumeleleand as a result of two fires, 30 dwellingsweredestroyed and just over 120 people were dis-placed.

According to aCity statement, firefightersresponded to 14 200 fires. This included 2811residential fires, 552 fires in buildings, 635transport fires and 10 088 vegetation fires.

“These fires unfortunately also claimed114 lives, with 97 of these deaths as a resultof fires in informal settlements,” it states.

City Disaster Risk Management has coor-dinated social relief and assisted 3210 house-holds affected by fires in informal settle-ments.

“The relief and assistance providedamounted to just over R5m for 2014. Fires oc-cur across the city; however, fires in inform-al settlements pose various challenges thatmay hamper firefighters’ ability to bringthem under control quickly.”

This, the statement says, happens whenstructures are built too close together or en-croach on roadways designed to ease accessfor emergency vehicles which can impedethe rapid extinguishing of fires.

“Water supply can also be problematic,particularly in areas where fire hydrantshave been vandalised.”V To report a fire or any other emergency call 107 froma landline or 021 480 7700 from a landline.

U3A talk on ‘erotic passions in art’The University of the Third Age will host atalk by Jacqueline Clayton on Erotic pas-sions in art. The talk will be held at FishHoek Civic Centre onWednesday 18 Februa-

ry at 09:30 for 10:00. Entry is free and refresh-ments will be on sale.For more information call Peter Rickards

If you’re anything like most people, you would by nowbe frantically surfing the internet for ideas of how to addthat extra special spark to your love life.Yes, true to the Gregorian calendar, Valentine’s day

comes around once a year every year.And, without fail, lovers – those who are, others who

have a great hope and thosewho are old hands –will allowthemselves to be steered towards the chainstores quiteconvinced thatwhat theirmoney canbuywill be evidenceof their love.Like drones, unthinkingly, the masses are propelled to

buy, buy, buy.But, like the song says, with apologies, money probably

can’t buy you love.So here’s a thought. Or two.If you’re in love perhaps you should bemaking an effort

every day.Not justwhen the commercialwheels are turn-ing you towards the mall and driving you to reach foryour wallet.Forgive the cliche, but really, this one is so true. It is

the little things that count, yes?Love takes hard work, commitment, dedication and

selfless acts that cost you time and effort each day.Buying something from a shelf ... that’s too easy.Just think. Do you really want your love to admire the

flowers only to cast them in a bin when they start droop-ing? And they will, unless they’re fake, which probablysays a lot about your taste in gifts.Or what about the cuddly soft toy with the little heart

that lights up? Cute for a day, then it takes pride of placeon a shelf or at her/his work, only to become a burdenwhen it has to be cleaned. Have you ever tried cleaninga soft toy that is battery-operated? Not fun.Make him/her coffee in bed, take a moonlight walk,

pack a picnic and enjoy a sunset or sunrise. Do the unex-pected little things that will earn you real thanks.

Your SMSesWork on wall

. I am from Red Hill in Simon’s Town.When are we going to get our money? Ithas been a long time now – since Novem-ber until now. We have families andchildren to feed. – Xolisani Misani. Likhanyile must pay the workers fromRed Hill who were poor enough already,then suffered badly when they did not getpaid for their work on the wall.

. The workers are still waiting fortheir money (for three months workedlast year) from Likhanyile. Everytimethey phone they are told the money willbe paid into their bank accounts, but thisnever happens. The people have workedhard for their money, but they are yet tobe paid.Likhanyile’s people also never answer

the phone when they call. The workershave families, rent and debt that need tobe paid, but they are still waiting fortheir money. What must they do to gettheir money. Please help!. It is a very shoddy job. I had wonderedwhy it was covered in plastic for so long.I think the City of Cape Town shouldconsider using local contractors for thissort of work.

. Yes, the unfinished work looksterrible. Perhaps the councillors can popover the wall to see how disgusting thetidal pool is. How embarrassing to havetourists going to such a dump.

Fish Hoek branding. The English speaking [residents] cannotbe ignored. Also the ‘Fish Hoek isfabulous’ promo failed, because it was

puny and failed to attract overall atten-tion. Next time please throw caution tothe wind and be bold, brash and do notrestrict yourselves. – Peter V

. Before ‘building a brand’ and if youwant to put Fish Hoek on the map,maybe start with fixing up the neglectedand dilapidated railway station premises..With all due respect, has the Fish HoekCID branding committee taken a goodunbiased look at Fish Hoek?. A skateboard park would benefit theyouth much more than a statue or amonument that gets stolen anyway if it ismade of metal like the Table Mountainsign. – Alex Allavena Muizis.What happened with the spray parkissue?

Play parks. Do not fix the park in Libra Road[Ocean View] because they sell drugsthere and they will damage it again.. Play parks in Capri, De Oude Weg andMilkwood Park are also in need ofcleaning, clearing and maintenance.. It is true there is no place for thechildren to play. It is used for sellingdrugs and the police are aware of every-thing that is happening in Ocean View.The water parks are also not finished.Empty promises..Well done on taking back our town.You will get a lot of support for thisnecessary maneouver. – BMcI. Ocean View is long forgotten when itcomes to the use of public funds.

General.Why are some people allowed to erecthomes wherever they feel fit? We workhard to survive and cannot afford to buy[properties].

Top serviceI just wanted to let you know that asregulars at Golden River Spur Fish Hoek,where we recently receive the mostamazing service.We would like to thank them, as they

even placed our drinks of choice on thetable before we even arrived. Well doneGolden River Spur.

Love your partnerWe all know that February is the monthof love.My opinion [is] I don’t believe in

Valentine’s day. Love should be celebrat-ed and be shown daily to your partner.Many choose to celebrate Valentine’s

day and they go all out.My question is, do you also go way out

the rest of the year? I love my wife24/7/365. Lets choose to celebrate loveevery single day and so the divorce ratewill become less.

Steady responsesI just wish to say a big thank you toPeople’s Post for deciding to broaden thesubject of police car availability, especial-ly as it relates to police and Metro Policecars parked at homes of officers (“Spot-light on cop cars”, 21 January). I wouldalso like to thank every person who hastaken the time to respond, via SMS, calls,as well as emails to me in this regard.The responses have been steady and

indeed, eye-opening. I shall compile it allinto a report, and forward the report toyour newspaper, and to the variouspolice station commanders concerned.The aim of my original letter to

People’s Post was to foster a betterunderstanding between police and thepublic, especially in terms of the public’sunderstanding of why the shortage ofvisible patrols, and attending policevehicles, are attributed to a “shortage ofvehicles”, when such a shortage does notexist, by admission of police managementthemselves.Bluntly put, the issue was the police

and Metro Police policy, with regards towho exactly are entitled to taking patrolvehicles home, and park them thereovernight.I am not sure if it was indeed as a

result of my article, but I noticed twopolice vehicles doing “stop-and-search” inmy road on Friday 30 January around20:00. I thank you sincerely

CONSERVATION IN KOMMETJIE

Top awardThe Skilpadsvlei wetland restoration

project in Kommetjie took top honoursat the National Wetland Indaba.

According to a statement by the City ofCape Town, it is one of Cape Town’s signifi-cant environmental initiatives.

This area has been rehabilitated to be,among others, a breeding site for the endan-gered western leopard toad in Kommetjie.

In celebration of World Wetlands Day,which took place on Monday 2 February,Mayoral Committee Member for Energy,Environmental and Spatial Planning Johanvan der Merwe officially received the na-tional wetland award, which was bestowedon the City during the National Wetland In-daba.

“This award shows me that we are on theright path to creating a sustainable CapeTown. We need to thank you, our staff, formaking progress possible in this regard, to-gether with valuable community partner-ships. We commend you for this,” he says.

The City won the award in the WetlandStewardship category which applies to

those who have made a significant contri-bution towards securing the effective andsustainable management of wetland areasthrough either the expansion of these areasor through agreements and collaborationwith landusers andowners to conservewet-land health, eco-services and biodiversity.

In April 2012, the City initiated and fund-ed a restoration project in Kommetjieaimed at rehabilitating the historic wetlandsystem on erven 3719 and 3720 along Ben-ning Drive.

This public open space system once con-tained the only breeding site for the endan-gered western leopard toad (Amietophrynuspantherinus) in the Kommetjie area.

Since the restoration, the third successfulemergence of western leopard toadlets forthe 2014 breeding season was seen.

The project also entailed establishing val-ued partnerships with the Kommetjie Envi-ronmental Awareness Group and the Kom-metjie Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associa-tion,whichhave resulted in a closeworkingrelationship over the past three years.

It’s WP against Bolandin rugby new competitonThe second edition of the CommunityChallengeCupwill kickoff onValentine’sDay.There will certainly be no love lost

when teams from the Western ProvinceRugby Union and Boland lock horns inthe opening round on Saturday.A total of 10 teams will participate in

the 2015 campaign, five each from the twounions. The teamswho finished in the topfive places of the two region’s respectivetop competitions during the 2014 seasonwere invited. The teams participating inthe Varsity Cup and the Community Cupcompetitions have been excluded.Western Province has, however, decid-

ed to include a combined regional teamfrom its Paarl District. This according tothe union’s manager of amateur rugby,

Danny Jones, is to assist in the develop-ment of its talent base in this region.“The teams in this region have decided

to play in their own league due to the hightravelling cost. It is thus fitting that weselect a regional team to compete in thisexciting competition to give more expo-sure to the clubs and players,” said Jones.Zelt Marias, vice-president of the WP

union, said his union is excited to be partof the competition. “Big things startsmall,” said Marais.The Boland clubs will enjoy home ad-

vantage in the opening round of fixtures.The Boland group consists of Hawston,

Never Despair, Saldanha, Roses Unitedand Vredenburg while the WP group ismade up by False Bay, Belhar, Paarl Re-gion, SK Walmers and Primrose.

The captains of the WP group Hoisain Isaacs (Primrose. left), Jawaah Dramat (SK-Walm-er), Michael Poppmeier (False Bay), Oswald Thomas (Paarl Region) and Cheslyn Roberts(Belhar) show off their jersyes prior to the start of the tournament on Saturday.

Rashied Isaacs, long-time freelancephotographer for People’s Post, willtake part in the 21.1 km race of theCape Peninsula Marathon on Sunday. “Ihave teamed up with Sport AgainstCrime because I feel we share the sameideology. I started capturing sportaction for the People’s Post seven yearsago to showcase our community’stalents on the sport fields, so byrunning the half-marathon I want tohighlight the fact that sport pays andcrime does not. The idea is for peopleon the half-marathon route to supportthe idea, not the runner,” he says.

the Big Walk.The basic form of the Big Walk remains

the same. It is a charity event for the RedCross Children’s Hospital and a communitylibrary. The hospital benefited over manyyears by means of funds contributed by theBigWalk. Significant projects in the paediat-ric, oncology, specialisedX-ray andother de-partmentswere completedby funds fromtheevent.The library is also a specialist facility

open to all people, but also servicing pupilsas well as academic research.After 15 years, the basic value offered by

the Big Walk is still great fun, good healthand support for worthy charities. The routeoffers the unparalleled beauty and morningair of the Sea Point promenade starting atthe Cape Town Stadium Forecourt and end-ing at the Green Point Track.As always, the organisers encourage early

entry to avoid disappointment. Further-more, there are benefits for all participatingschools that submit bulk entries. All en-trants will receive a T-shirt and a goodie bagat registration from February 26 to 28 at theCollege of Cape Town, Crawford Campus.The closing date for entries is February 23
