Drug den handover stalls

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

A

lmost four years after a notorious drug

house in Eastridge was seized by the

Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU), Mitch-

ells Plain communityworkers are still wait-

ing for the handover to take effect.

After an investigation into property own-

er Jerome Morris, Mitchells Plain police

made a successful prosecution as a result of

drug activity taking place at the home in

Bontebok Street (State confiscates drug

house, Peoples Post, 15 February 2011).

At the time, Community Police Forum

(CPF) cluster chairperson Michael Jacobs

said the outcome of the application was a

victory for the people of Mitchells Plain.

Morris was charged in 2010 and was given

a five-year sentence after the investigation

started in 2007.

Mitchells Plain police spokesperson Ser-

geant Jerome Voegt said that by December

2008 an applicationwasmade for the proper-

ty to be forfeited to theState in theCapeHigh

Court. The application was successful.

At the time Jacobs commented that an ap-

plication would be sent to the State, request-

ing the house be used as a safe house.

We would like to turn the house into a

positive place by using it as a base for the

sector commander, the Victim Support vol-

unteers and the local neighbourhood watch

to conduct their operations from, he says.

This message was communicated to the

new CPF body.

Mitchells Plain CPF chairperson Abie

Isaacs says they are unsure of the future of

the house.

It was decided that the house would be

handed over to the CPF for the use of the

community, he says.

At this stage we are unsure of how far

along the process is and to date we have not

heard anything from the powers that be.

Isaacs says a full business plan has al-

ready been devised and they are ready to

move in at any time.

Cluster commander Major-General Abra-

ham Goss says they want to use the house

for community development after it created

a negative atmosphere in the area.

Wewant to use this house for positive de-

velopment in the community, he says.

Isaacs says this is possible.

There is another example of a well-

known drug house being turned into a posi-

tive place. And we are planning something

similar for this property, he says.

The other house in question is in Voltjie

Street and is used as a base for many non-

profit organisations and government de-

partments.

Talk of new tenants living at the house

could not be verified at the time of going to

print. The property is still in the possession

of the AFU.

The unit was established in May 1999 in

the Office of the National Director of Public

Prosecutions to focus on the Prevention of

Organised Crime Act (Poca).

This also allows them to seize criminal as-

sets under the power of the Act.

No official handover date could be estab-

lished.

V What do you think the house should be used for?

MUNICIPALITY

Dont ask for gifts City warns

T

his may be the season of giving, but

council is warning residents not to

give donations to its personnel.

According to a City of Cape Town state-

ment, its SolidWasteManagement Depart-

ment enforces a policy which forbids its

staff from soliciting Christmas boxes

and they have been reminded of the prohi-

bition of the practise.

However, if residents believe excellent

service has been provided, they are at lib-

erty to give a voluntary donation to staff

as a gesture of thanks and goodwill, says

Mayoral Committee member for Utility

Services Ernest Sonnenberg.

Under no circumstances may residents

be approached and asked for money; City

staff are appropriately remunerated.

If residents are intimidated by staffers,

they are encouraged to report the incident

to the Citys call centre on 0860 103 089.

Callers must provide the date, time, place

and the vehicles registration number.

Refuse collection services will remain in

operation during the festive season, even

on public holidays.

As there will be less traffic on the roads

during theholidayperiod, collection teams

might arrive earlier thanusual. Therefore,

it is best that residents place their bins out

before 06:00 during this time, Sonnenberg

advises.

Drop-off facilities will be closed on

Christmas (Thursday 25 December) and

NewYears days (Thursday 1 January); on-

ly the Hout Bay facility will be operational

from 07:00 until 17:00 on these days.

Amended operating hours of 08:00 until

17:00 will be in place at the other facilities

during the festive season.

A

total of 223 suspects have been arrest-

ed in a two-week long operation in the

Mitchells Plain police cluster.

This has resulted in 10 illegal firearms, 46

rounds of ammunition and 670 units of con-

traband being seized.

On Friday 5 December, a Mitchells Plain

security guard has been arrested and

charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

Close to 300 bullets seized

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

T

he Mitchells Plain police clus-

ters festive plan has been in

full swing for close to a month

now and already boasts many suc-

cesses.

In the most recent case, a 35-year-

old man was arrested in the Mitch-

ells Plain police precinct for the ille-

gal possession of ammunition.

On Tuesday 9 December at 19:10,

officers followed information re-

ceived from the community, con-

firms police spokesperson Sergeant

Jerome Voegt.

Officers received information of

ammunition being held at a house in

Zenit Street, Rocklands. Officers

then searched the home and found

248 live rounds of ammunition,

Voegt says.

In one of the bedrooms police

found the magazine of an R5 rifle

loaded with 18 live R5 rounds.

On further search of the home of-

ficers also found 82 .22 calibre live

rounds and 148 live R5 rounds hid-

den in the ceiling.

After a complete search of the

home, the officers found and confis-

cated 166 high-calibre R5 rounds and

82 .22 calibre rounds.

The man did not have the legal

documentation to own the ammuni-

tion.

Mitchells Plain Community Po-

lice Forum chairperson Abie Isaacs

says they commend the officers for

sterling work done thus far.

We applaud the police for taking

this ammunition out of circulation

especially in an area like Mitchells

Plainwhere gun violence is rife. The

level of commitment shown that

the police will come down hard on

ammunition runners and gun own-

ers is commendable and makes a

strong statement, says Isaacs.

He says it is only through good re-

lationships that the gun scourge can

be stopped.

We must also commend the com-

munity who have stood up and said

enough is enough. Continue to give

the tip-offs and forward information

to the police. Partnership policing is

the way to go, he says.

Isaacs further adds that residents

dont need to always contact the po-

lice if they are not comfortable.

Make contact with the CPF, or

your imam or priest or make use of

the various other community SMS

lines, he says.

The suspect will appear in the

Mitchells Plain Magistrates Court

on charges of illegal possession of

ammunition.

Police management commends

the community in joining the fight

against crime.

V Residents with information on crime hap-

pening in your precinct, phone 08600 10111.

Giving back

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

A

class of 43 government personal assist-

ants and administration staff have giv-

en back through a class project.

The group all studying at CPUT are

currently employed in various local govern-

ment departments.

Through bake sales, raffles and donations,

the officials called Heavens Helping Hands

came to the aid of Heavens Shelter House

in Woodlands.

Group representative Geraldine Smith

says the shelter was chosen as one of four

from the class.

We had to do a presentation and then the

class took a vote. We then had to approach

the shelter to ask what they required. From

there we did fundraisers and food drives for

two months as we put the event together,

she says.

Shelter director Zulpha Morris says they

first opened their doors in 1998 and have

grown since then.

This is a gift from God. The shelter has

been struggling for a long time, but we do

have some loyal, kindhearted sponsors who

always keep us in mind, she says.

The group collected clothes, toys, food and

gardening supplies.

Morris was also taught how to garden and

grow the new herbs and vegetables.

The shelter also has R150 000 outstanding

on their water bill.

This,Morris says, is related to the number

of people staying on the premises.

The shelter for orphans and abused wom-

en and children currently has 80 people liv-

ing at the home.

The officials managed to get together a to-

tal of R18 000 and have since paid it to the

City of Cape Town towards the bill.

God will provide, Morris says.

Smith says theywill not forget the shelter.

We have all committed to contributing

R20 a month toward a fund that will be used

to sustain the shelter, she says.

Paving, a mural and a bathroom makeo-

ver were also part of the revamp.

If you would like to get involved with the

organisation, phoneMorris on (021) 371 6980

or 072 437 4325 or Chrystal Delport on

(021) 483 6945.

Alternatively email chrystal.del-

[email protected].

All non perishable food, clothing and toys

are welcome.

Volunteering at the shelter is also wel-

come.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: The volunteers called themselves Heavens Helping Hands. The outreach

project forms part of a study programme. PHOTOS: SAMANTHA LEE

LIQUOR LAWS

Owner set

to appeal

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

T

he owner of a licensed Tafelsig liquor

outlet plans to appeal the subcouncil

decision to deny her a land departure.

Sandra Cyster, who owns Sandras Liq-

uors in Kilimanjaro Street, told Peoples

Post she has taken the necessary steps to ap-

peal the land departure application disap-

proval.

Subcouncil 12 made the decision to turn

down the application on Thursday 20 No-

vember.

Cyster was at pains to point out that her

business operates legally (Outlet gets

thumbs down, Peoples Post, 2 December).

City officials made a mistake in a letter

addressed to my neighbours, says Cyster.

She says the neighbours were mistaken

in that they believed her outlet was being

converted into a tavern.

After the [subcouncil] decision was tak-

en I went to my neighbours personally.

They all said they were under the impres-

sionwewere applying tohave a tavernbuilt

at our house. But this is not the case,

Cyster says, adding her business remains

an off-consumption outlet as it has since in-

ception nine years ago.

According to Cyster, measurements tak-

en for cold storage left neighbours with the

impression a tavern would be built. What

the neighbours sawwas the construction of

a cold room and not the building of a tav-

ern, she says.

Noise complaints and public indecency

are among the reasons for refusal of the

land departure.

In the subcouncil agenda, one resident

said he feels the liquor outlet is creating an

unsafe environment for residents.

The subcouncil must take note that ma-

jority of the residents in the area are older

and they cannot handle the noise, he

wrote.

But Cyster says she fails to see the objec-

tion as there are no old people living in the

neighbourhood. And, she adds, she has a

low tolerance for loud music and is very

considerate of her neighbours and the less

fortunate.

Legislation introduced in 2012 requires

that all liquor outlets re-apply to have exist-

ing businesses re-zoned.

Cyster applied to obtain the land depar-

ture in October, which has been denied and

she is in the process of appealing.

My lawyer is drafting the necessary

forms. We are not building a tavern. The

store will remain the same. We are just be-

coming compliant with the new laws.

A total of eight objections were received.

All neighbours have since been visited by

Cyster and have agreed to retract their ob-

jections, she says.

showing the youth that positives can come

from this community.

Future events will be used as a platform

for talent development, with specific focus

on talent that can be transformed into a ca-

reer.

An event steering committee will also be

registered in the new year.

Coetzee hopes to build on the success of

the event.

We want other communities to also

adopt this idea. Community policing is all

about participation, he says.

Sector commander Warrant Officer

Manus Peterse says the day was a success

and was proud of the well behavedmanner

of residents.

He adds that the community is serious

about policing through the use of these ac-

tivities.

No incidents were reported in the area

for the day.

STRANDFONTEIN

All-female CPF chosen

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

T

he Strandfontein community have

had their say.

And a strong team of seven women

has been elected to serve on the Communi-

ty Police Forum.

After a tribute from Major-General Ab-

raham Goss praising the good work they

are doing in the area, residents re-elected

Sandra Schuter as chairperson.

Schuters report took a trip downmemo-

ry lane but she also warned residents to

vote wisely.

This isnt an easy task and make sure

the person you choose is in it for the right

reasons, she said.

Resident Ernest Theron says the female

leadership has done well.

I think we should have a full team of

women. We often hear people talk of wom-

en empowerment but we should [in this

case] actually live it, he said.

As if he read the future, for the first time

in the Mitchells Plain cluster, an all-fe-

male executive was elected.

Alongwith Schuter, the seven registered

organisations voted Ruwyda Kearn as dep-

uty chairperson, FaheemahFrancis as sec-

retary, Maggie Peters as assistant secre-

tary, Pat Hugo as treasurer, Colleen

Horswell as public relations officer and

Mildred Smidt as project coordinator.

As part of their first mass mobilisation

less than a week after being elected the

executive has taken the streets by storm.

Close to 70 residents gathered on an open

field in San Remo, to meet the newly elect-

ed CPF.

The watertight five-year plan also in-

cludes fighting for a station upgrade, re-es-

tablishing street committees, focusing on

elder abuse, patrols and reviving neigh-

bourhood watches.

Cluster chairperson Michael Jacobs

says the CPF is not a social club.

This is hard work that not many people

appreciate. You can look at doing outreach

programmes but the main focus is crime

fighting. That is what this CPF will have

to do, he says.

Goss and Jacobs wished the executive

well.

The five-year plan will be revealed

through a series of meetings. Organisa-

tions from the precinct can still join the

CPF. For more information or forms email

[email protected] or phone

Strandfontein police on (021) 370 1501.

FESTIVE TREAT

Bringing Christmas to orphans

SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

T

he Mitchells Plain Liquor Traders

Association in conjunction with

Mitchells PlainPoliceStationand the

Mitchells Plain Community Police Forum

treated 150 orphans to a Christmas party

in Strandfontein.

The children could enjoy a full day filled

with water sports, music, jumping castles

and gifts.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Jerome

Voegt says theannual event is a joint effort.

This is all about the children and is the

time of giving. Residents need to realise

there will always be someone less fortu-

nate than themselves, he says.

That is what it is about, says Liquor

Traders Association secretary Theory

Schrickker. Our clients are from Mitch-

ells Plain and it was time for us to give

back. This is one of three annual events

that we organise and the children are al-

ways looking forward to it, she says.

The event is primarily funded by the as-

sociation and was held at the Strandfon-

tein CPOA. All orphanages in Mitchells

Plainwere invited to the event and the chil-

dren are aged between three and 18 years.

The eventwas also supported byMissing

Children South Africa.

The organisations representative Zu-

reenaFarat says itwas the perfect opportu-

nity to raise awareness on child safety.

She urges parents to be more vigilant as

the festive season approaches.

Anyone who would like to get involved

with the project can phone Schrickker on

082 762 5339.

Vehicle checklist for holiday season

Before hitting the road this holiday, check

the following:

V Tyres: Check air pressure of your tyres,

including the spare.

V Batteries: Weak batteries can lead to

breakdowns.

V Brakes: An inspection can determine

whether brakes are functioning properly

with full braking capability.

VWindshield wipers: Old or worn wind-

shield wipers can lead to poor visibility.

V Headlamps: Properly aimed head-

lamps are a must for optimal visibility, fit-

ting Xenon Headlight Bulbs will improve

your visibility as they are 50% brighter

than standard lights.

V Oil: Change oil and filter at recom-

mended intervals to minimise engine wear

and reduce the possibility of internal dam-

age.

V Fluid levels: Improper fluid levels

(coolant, oil, power steering, transmission,

brake fluid and even washer solvent) can

negatively affect vehicle performance.

V Belts and hoses: A broken belt or rup-

tured hose can cause costly engine dam-

age.

V Ensure all weekly checks recommend-

ed in the owners handbook have been per-

formed and obey road signs. carsguide.com

NEW TECHNOLOGY

Preventing crash

T

oyota has revealed a range of high-tech

vehicle crash-prevention technology.

Toyotas integrated safety manage-

ment concept is designed towork in concert

to reduce the number of road crashes.

The features were announced at a safety

seminar in Toyota City, Japan, and is set to

be launched in new models in 2015. Toyota

is also creating active safety packages for

various vehicles thatwill be available by the

end of 2017.

At a blind junction even the best vehicle-

cameras and sensors cant give a clearwarn-

ing of hazards. Toyota has worked to elimi-

nate the risk with new vehicle-to-infra-

structure and vehicle-to-vehicle

communications technology, using a wire-

less frequency reserved for Integrated Traf-

fic System (ITS) services.

For example, if you arrive at junctionwith

no clear view, sensors will detect oncoming

traffic or pedestrians and send the informa-

tion to your car, what Toyota calls the vehi-

cle-to-infrastructure system.

Toyota says: Vehicles approaching the

intersectionwill signal their presence using

the vehicle-to-vehicle link, activating visual

and audio warnings when necessary to help

prevent an accident.

Toyota has developed a new radar cruise-

control to make it easier for preceding and

following vehicles to maintain safe follow-

ingdistances. It uses a forward-facingmilli-

metre-wave radar to monitor the distance

between vehicles ahead and behind, relative

speeds and the acceleration/deceleration of

the leading car.

Automakers are already using such sys-

tems with a consequent improvement in

safety, congestion and fuel-efficiency.

Toyota says it develops its ITS-compatible

systems in collaboration with government

bodies, agencies and private companies.

In 2013 Toyota participated in an ITS

Green Safety public-private project to assess

the social effects of such systems. It will also

take part in the ITSConnect PromotionCon-

sortium to support the development of envi-

ronments for the smooth introduction of

such systems and their widespread adop-

tion.

Toyota, already implementing auto high

beam and adaptive lighting systems, is de-

veloping its next-generation system to deliv-

er improved night-time illumination its

array adaptive high-beam using LEDs.

A similar system was launched recently

by Mercedes-Benz on its CLS in South Afri-

ca.

The system uses multiple, independently

controlled LEDs arranged in a single row.

This gives wider illumination without daz-

zling drivers of oncoming or preceding vehi-

cles. It can light up the gaps between vehi-

cles ahead and those approaching, making

it easier to spot pedestrians.

Light distribution is also linked to use of

the steeringwheel, givingbetter visibility as

you turn into a bend.

Toyotas new Safety Sense active safety

package will include an auto high beam

function.

From 2015, Toyota will launch a new set

of active safety technologies designed tohelp

prevent or mitigate collisions. Two Safety

Sense packageswill be launched, initially in

Japan and subsequently in the USA and Eu-

rope, by the end of 2017.

The two packages, designated C and P for

mid-size and larger vehicles respectively,

use several of Toyotas existing active safety

technologies, including its pre-crash safety

system, lane keep assist and auto high beam.

The C package uses a laser radar and the

P package a millimetre-wave radar, each

combined with a camera.

CAR OVERHEATING?

What you should do

W

ith long car trips planned over the

festive season inhotweather, its in-

evitable some of usmay run the risk

of getting stuck on the side of the road due

to a car that has overheated.

Motor Industry Workshop Association

(Miwa) chairperson Les McMaster says:

Themost commonreasons for overheating

are lowwater and coolant levels in the radi-

ator or a leak in the cooling system.

To determine this, look for the coolant

reservoir in the vicinity of the radiator and

check the coolant level. If its normal, you

might just have a malfunctioning tempera-

ture gauge.

But if its low or empty theres probably

a coolant leak. If you have to keep driving,

make sure the engine is cool, and protect

your hand with a glove or a rag, then twist

off the radiator cap. Refill both the radiator

and the reservoir, using coolant or, if neces-

sary, water. This should bring the tempera-

ture down once youre underway.

If the temperature starts rising again,

pull over and repeat the process. But this

is by no means a long- term solution.

To prevent overheating, its advisable to

regularly check that your carhas freshcool-

ant in its radiator, and also have the radia-

tor checked for corrosion.
