Top cops talk to localsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Police says they are going back to basics.For them to be able to do so fully theyare pleading with community mem-

bers to work hand in hand with them so thatthey can root out bad elements.

To make their plea to community mem-bers an imbizo was held on an open sportsfield in Lavender Hill last Wednesday. Thegathering was used to address issues of safe-ty, crime and gangsterism in the area.

It was part of a three-phase outreach pro-

gramme by the police.The meeting was attended by Nathi

Nhleko, national police minister, MaggieSotyu, his deputy minister, KhomotsoPhahlane, acting police commissioner, Lieu-tenant-General Khombinkosi Jula, provin-cial police commissioner, Dan Plato, provin-cial minister of community safety, commu-nity leaders, neighbourhood watchmembers, schoolchildren and residentsfrom different areas.

Jula told the crowd that they were thereto hear the challenges of the community andwork on a solution together.

“We are going back to basics and thisstarts with the community. We are here tolisten to your challenges. We want to hearabout your safety and how we can help.

“We are also here to tell you that allow thepolice to do their job. There is a disturbingpattern of officers who are attacked whenthey come to help. The act on our officers isan attack on the state and that must stop.

“We are appealing to the community to beambassadors so that the police will executetheir duties fully. We are here to improveservices but that can only be done when thecommunity works with the police,” he said.

Phahlane said they were in the area to en-gage with the residents.

“We want to work with you. Police willnever win when they work alone. We haveto stand up as community members and sayno to crime in our community.

“Don’t allow our children to be consumersof drugs, be involved in gangsterism. Do theright thing; and the right thing is to informthe police. These people who are killing andcausing the community to be in fear, theyare known. Report them so that the policecan act on that.V Continued on page 2.

“We are also here to tell you that the notionof there are no police vans and the notion ofyou must come to the police station to reportan incident is ending today. Police must mevisible and be in our communities all thetime to help,” said Phahlane.Hewent on to urge residents not to buy sto-

len goods.“What you don’t know is what happened to

the owner. Someone might have been killed,raped or injured for that item which is soldfor cheap. Instead blow the whistle.“For us going to basics means being visi-

ble, being responsible, rendering service tothe people where it’s really needed and thatcases must be thoroughly investigated.”After the officials had addressed the at-

tendees, they also had their chance to speakup.Lucinda Evans, a local community leader,

said they were pleading with the justice de-

partment to tighten the belt of justice.“We work in the community and we catch

people with guns and ammunition. They arearrested and theyget out onR500 orR300 bail.This is not fair; these people are killing ourchildren and they continue to roam ourstreets. Pleasehelpus, these people shouldn’tcome out lightly like this.“Weare also told of shortages of police each

time we call the station; this is not helpingus. Can we have more police in the area toaddress crime promptly?” she asked.FadillahAbrahams said the officials had to

get rid of corrupt police members.“We live in fear; police are connected to the

gangs and the drug dealers. How are they go-ing to fight crime like that? Due to bad ele-ments in the police our children have to runaround in fear.“If police will walk with us they must also

learn to listen to us.”

Instead of just another Easter egg hunt,Capetonians can participate in an innova-

tive challenge to “find the book” on Satur-day for International Children’s Book Day.The Cape Town Museum of Childhood is

hosting the search, which will take place invarious spots around Cape Town.Themuseum is due to open later this year

and will be the first of its kind in Africa. Inthe lead up to the opening, the museum isengaging with communities through pro-grammes, projects, activities and events tocelebrate childhood.In Saturday’s challenge Capetonians will

search for a gift-wrapped children’s book in50 places across Cape Town.Clues for finding some of the gifts will be

posted on the museum’s social media plat-forms.The lucky finderswill open their gifts and

find a letter instructing them on what to doand how to enter a further competition.The finders should post a photo of them-

selves with their new book on social mediausing the hashtag #foundmybook.

One person will be randomly selectedfrom these posts to receive a R1000 giftvoucher for a book store as well as 50 newchildren’s books to be donated to an earlychildhooddevelopment centre of his choice.With this challenge, theCapeTownMuse-

um of Childhood celebrates childhood andaims to create excitement about reading forchildren.International Children’s Book Day has

been celebrated on 2 April each year since1967. It is Hans Christian Andersen’s birth-day. He is the author of 168 children’s tales,of which themost famous areThe little mer-maid, Princess and the pea, The ugly duck-ling, The emperor’s new clothes and Thumb-elina.“We want to motivate children to read

and ‘find the book’ will do just that; gettingchildren excited about finding new bookson the day through the treasure hunt chal-lenge and this will spark continued interestin reading,” says Bridget Clampett, pro-gramme manager of outreach programmesfor the museum.

City officerslet barkingdogs lie?DESIREE RORKE

@dezzierorke

Although the animal bylaw in respectof barking dogs is frowned upon by

many residents as nonsensical, the Cityof Cape Town is adamant that this bylawcan and is still enforced in a very practi-cal sense.People’s Post regularly receives com-

plaints from readers about their rowdyneigbourhood dogs, coupled with theCity’s inability to enforce the bylaw.In most cases it so happens that the

nuisance dog, after being reported toLaw Enforcement, will be considerablyquieter when City officers arrive on thepremises, making it impossible for themto take lawful actionagainst thedogown-er. The case is subsequently closed, untilanother is opened.In terms of the bylaw no dog is allowed

to bark for more than three minutes inhalf anhour or formore than sixminutesin an hour.But how do you prove this?As is the case in anyother legalmatter,

sufficient evidence is needed to prose-cute in the municipal courts.In this instance, a complete “barking

monitoring schedule”, as well as audio-visual material, would be needed, ac-cording to JP Smith, Mayco member ofsafety and security.

MonitoringSmith says just because many of the

complaints reported cannot be corrobo-rated by the investigating officers whohave tomonitor the dogs at the identifiedlocations, it does not mean the bylaw isnot being contravened.“Obviously the officers cannot moni-

tor the location on a 24-hour basis,” hesays.“Enforcement action will therefore in-

volve an initial compliance notice direct-ing the dog owner to remedy the situa-tion. In the event of non-compliance thiswill be followed, in most cases, by thecompilation of a docket containing thecomplainant’s affidavit, which includesa barking monitoring schedule andwhatever audio-visual evidence is avail-able, so that the dog owner can be sum-moned to court on the prosecutor’s in-struction,” he says, but doesn’t clarifyhow this would be done in the absenceof officers to constantly monitor thepremises.

The officer, he says, may also opt to is-sue a written notice to appear in courtwith the option of paying an admissionof guilt fine.“In the meantime, and particularly

when the officerhas also established thatthere is indeed a contravention in termsof the barking provision, which the own-er has not remedied or where they havefailed to ensure compliance, the dogsmay be impounded and the matter dealtwith in terms of the animal bylaw. Thisprocess will run parallel to the one ofsummons and prosecution.”However, according to a source, the

lack of manpower in Law Enforcementin actual fact doesn’t afford officers thetime needed for compiling such dockets.In extreme cases, says this source, an

admission of guilt fine would be issuedto a repeat “offender”, who would thenpay it and be on his way, often leavingthe cause of the problem unresolved.“In other cases dog owners do comply

with notices to try and find outwhy theirdogs bark and take action, but they oftenwork full days and simply have no con-trol of their dogs’ barking habits duringthe day,” says this source.The issue evidently posing several

challenges, People’s Post asked Smithwhether it really made sense to use theCity’s limited manpower on such casesand whether the City has had any suc-cessful court appearances in this regard.No specific answer was forthcoming

from Smith, however.TheCity also did not respond towheth-

er it is looking into other more practicalsolutions, which might see this bylawamended.

In other cases dogowners do complywith notices to tryand find out whytheir dogs bark andtake action, but theyoften work full daysand simply have nocontrol.

“You will never know howstrong you are until being

strong is the only choice youhave.”This is amessage on an art block

that Johannes Mokobi (24) fromRetreat sprayed on a block. He isselling it for a living.Beside being a message that he

sells to make ends meet, it has be-come a pillar of strength for himbecause life knocked him downseveral times but he was able tostand up again.Abandoned at a crèche in Johan-

nesburg when he was only threemonths old hewas raised by an eld-erly woman who took him in.

He managed to stay with her tillhe turned 17. Life became difficultwhen she died. One of the old wom-an’s children let the house andMo-kobi was kicked out as he didn’tbring anything to the table.Hedropped out of schoolwhile in

Grade 9. He tried and failed to getbursaries so that he could finishhis matric.In 2011 he came to Cape Town in

pursuit of a better life but it didn’twork out.“Iwentback toJoburg. Iwas con-

fused, I didn’t knowwhat todo.Lifewas not easy. I was on the streets,tried to make ends meet. I wouldmake money; the problem was Ididn’t know what I wanted. I hada lot of friends and we would usethat money. When the money was

finished, the friends would disap-pear and I was left alone,” he says.He had to decide what he wanted

to do with his life. He moved toCape Town again. He now stays atthe Haven night shelter in 10th Av-enue inRetreat. Paying at least R84a week for the shelter, he says lifeis not easy.“It’s better, because I have a

place to hidemy head, but it’s diffi-cult. You have to be out of the shel-ter by 06:30 and you don’t get torest. I want to save money as wellso that I can find better accommo-dation,” he says.He started projects to keep him

going but it wasn’t a walk in thepark. He started a car-washingbusiness and sells his art blocks inMuizenberg and the surrounding

areas. He also cleans windows andother things.He is trying to save money for

better accommodation and to payfor a web development course.“I want a better life for me. I’m

trying to save money so that I canfinish my course and make some-thing out of my life. Things havebeen tough for me, but when I lookat where I came from and where Iam now I can only be hopeful. I ha-ven’t lost hope that one day thingswill look up for me. Life will bemuch better than it is now.“I’m also pleading for someone

who can help me withmy businessof washing cars and to completemy course,” he says.V Readers who want to help Mokobi cancall him on 071 814 1993.

Johannes Mokobi (24) from Retreatsells his art blocks. He has had adifficult life but is hopeful that helpwill come his way so that he cangrow his car wash business andfinish web development training.

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

The police are urging the youth to makegood use of the Muizenberg Police Mu-seum, which was reopened last Wednes-day.The museum was first opened in 1990

but had to be closed a few years ago dueto damage. Following a revamp it was of-ficially opened to the public by NathiNhleko, national police minister lastweek. He was joined by deputy ministerMaggie Sotyu, Lieutenant-GeneralKhomotso Phahlane, acting police com-missioner, and Lieutenant-GeneralKhombinkosi Jula amongst others.Themuseum, the first of its kind in the

province, is located where the old Muiz-enberg police station was. Entrance isfree.Many items of interest are on display,

including criminal cases, a prison cell,old guns and an old charge office.Phahlane says community members

must make good use of the museum.“The reopening of themuseum creates

a platform where members of the com-munity can familiarise themselves withthe work of the police. Make sure of it,learn from it.“This is a critical platform which

serves as a reminder of where we comefrom and where we are. We hope the mu-seumwill do justice and continue to edu-cate everyone. Young people must takeadvantage of this facility,” he says.

Last week’s opening ceremony waspart of a three-phase outreach pro-gramme by the top police officials.The second leg of the outreach pro-

gramme led them toLavenderHillwherethey stopped at the Village care centrebefore they proceeded to a sports fieldwhere community members were gath-ered and had waited patiently for them.Their aim was to talk to the communi-

ty and to address their challenges, aswell as to make a call to work hand inhand with the police. Issues on the tablewere safety, crime, drugs, gunsandgang-sterism in the area.Addressing the gathering Phahlane

said it was time to not only focus on drugusers but drug dealers as well. He saidpolice couldn’t do that alone and neededcommunitymembers toworkwith them.“Police will never win if they work

alone. We are coming back to you to en-gage so that we can comewith lasting so-lutions to save our communities. Wewant to hear your problems so that wecan go back to the board and see how wecan address them.”He also urged community members to

not interfere with police when they weredoing their work.“If we attack the police we are depriv-

ing ourselves of the services they haveto offer us.“Allow them to do their job; all you can

do is to work with them, not to attackthem or even burn their vehicles,” hesaid.

‘Kids’ education matters’The Life Matters Foundation in Meadow-

ridge is trying to focus on what reallymatters in life.They work in schools in Westlake, Steen-

berg and Retreat. Children also come to thefoundation who travel from Lavender Hill,Grassy Park and Capricorn.They currently run four literacy and two

numeracy centres based at the schools theywork in.Started in 2002 by the then Meadowridge

Baptist Church, now called ConnectChurch, they responded to the need forcounselling services in underprivilegedschools. They soon realised that theneed foracademic and life skills interventions wereimperative to help combat the drop-out rate.They now have an academic programme

which focuses on numeracy and literacy in-tervention for Grade 1 to 3 pupils. Their lifeskills programme provides counselling toall pupils and mentoring and life skills pro-grammes to mainly Grade 6 and 7 pupils.Their life skills programme offers a path-

finders camp for Grade 7 pupils of fourschools where the pupils are encouraged byspeakers, from the communities they comefrom, to value their education and makepositive life choices.They are also running eight mentoring

groups for Grade 6 and 7 pupils which aimto bring rolemodels to pupils and offer themguidance with academic and life choices.Their teenage awareness programme

provides speakers andworkshops forGrade7 pupils to prepare them for the challengesof high school.Alnere Turck, executive director of the

foundation, says children in the communi-ties they work in have huge obstacles tolearning.“Not only are they in underresourced

schools with large numbers of pupils perclass but they live in communities fraughtwith gangsterism, drugs andhigh teen preg-

nancy rates.“We believe that by providing both aca-

demic and life skills support to our pupilswe are offering them the best possiblechance to succeed in the environment theyfind themselves in. Every child deservesthe right to a decent education and everychild deserves to be inspired andmotivatedto fulfil his potential. We believe that thisis what our programmes bring to the chil-dren we work with.“It is the responsibility of everySouthAf-

rican to be involved in making a differencein this country. Only by all of us taking astand and forcing equality in areas wherethat right has been denied, will we seegrowth and healing in broken places.Equality in education is possible. Hopemo-tivates us!” she says.The foundation raises funds from compa-

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREATTuesday, 29 March 2016 NEWS 5LAVENDER HILL

‘My heart breaksall the time’Gangsterism in Lavender Hill has torn

many local families apart. A lot of peoplehave lost their lives and amongst them areinnocent people who had nothing to do withthe gangs.

Many families who lose a loved memberthrough gang fighting find it difficult tomove on.

One of these people is 48-year-old Mary-Anne Abrahams, whose one child was shotand killed in a gang attack. She is now call-ing on police to be more visible in the area.

Abrahams maintains that her son SalieAbrahams was never involved in gangster-ism. The 19-year-old was shot and killedwith another resident near Stone court. Itis alleged that he was gambling there withothers when they were approached by fourmen who opened fire on them. Four morepeople were injured in the shooting (“Manyshot in ‘gang killing’”, People’s Post, 8March).

Abrahams says the community is in fear.“Children can’t walk around openly. As

they walk anything can happen. Gangstersshoot all the time.

“It really pains me that my son had to diesuch a painful death. I want somethingdone. I will never be able to move on fromwhat happened. It fills my eyes with tearsand breaks my heart all the time when Ithink of the fact that I will never see mychild again,” she says.

At times she sits alone and reminisces onthe good times she had with her son.

“He was my everything. He was so hope-ful about the future. He had applied for ajob and he was going to start soon. He wasvery quiet. He loved making jokes. He wasmy helper.

“Now he is gone and no-one can help melike he did. Police must help us; how many

people must die to see that Lavender Hill isowned by gangs? My wish is that all the kill-ers would rot in jail. The justice system isalso not doing us any favours; these peopleare arrested today and tomorrow they areout.”

Police are still investigating the shootingthat left two people dead and four others in-jured. Anyone with information should callSteenberg police on 021 702 9000.

Easter Bunny takesegg-stra special hopLast week the Easter Bunnycould not be distracted by thearoma of hot cross buns and pick-led fishwafting on the south-easteraround the Peninsula.He hadmore important businesswith a visit to young patients at theRed Cross War Memorial Chil-dren’s Hospital.These youngsters received anegg-stra special treat when theEaster Bunny arrived a few daysearly to make a special visit to thehospital on Thursday.Every year the Easter Bunny, ac-companied by various guests, visitthe children to spread joy andbrighten their day by sharing hugsand handing out Easter treats.The Easter goodies are donatedto thehospital byvarious organisa-tions through the Friends of theChildren’s Hospital Association(Focha), a non-profit organisationbased at the hospital that providesnon-medical support to patientsand their families.The event is one of two annualevents held at the hospital that aredesigned to include hospitalisedchildren in festivities they wouldordinarily miss out on and tospread joy at timeswhichwould betough for children and their fami-lies to spend in hospital.“There is nothing better than agood friend, except a good friendfull of surprises,” said the EasterBunny before happily hopping be-tween wards.“The best part of my Easterweekend is visiting my friendshere at the Red CrossWarMemori-

al Children’s Hospital. Nothingbringsmemore joy than being ableto brighten their lives over theEaster period. The visit alwayssets the tone for the rest of myEaster.”Angelique Jordaan, hospitalspokesperson, was also very grate-ful for the visit.“We are very grateful for all theEaster goodies for the patients.

This has put a smile on the chil-dren’s faces andmade their stay inhospital over the Easter periodslightly better by distracting themfrom the reason they are in hospi-tal.“Thank you to everyone who do-nated and thank you to Focha forensuring that the patients do notmiss out on Easter celebrations,”she said.

“Research has shown that in-creased seat belt compliancewill mean thousands of livessaved, that would have other-wise been lost, in the horrificcrashes that plague our roads,”says Donald Grant, provincialminister for transport and pub-lic works.In a statement last week heemphasised the fact that car oc-cupants – drivers and passen-gers – continue to be themajori-ty of road deaths in theWesternCape.In response to the neglect ofthe seat belt rule, Safely Homelaunched the “first kiss” multi-media campaign this month.Says Grant: “Research andstatistics have shown that fail-ure to use a seat belt is a certainroute to death or serious injuryduring collisions. When a carcrash occurs, the occupantswhoarenot restrained continueto move forward at the samespeed at which the car was trav-elling before the collision. Theyare catapulted forward into thestructure of the car, into otheroccupants or hurled from thecar to almost certain death,” hesays.The campaign consists of a se-ries of radio advertisements,billboards and cinemaadbump-ers at major cinemas and is liveonline on Facebook and Twit-ter.It is anchored by the “FirstKiss” television commercial,which was first aired on SABC1during the screening of an epi-sode ofGenerations onFriday 18March.It will air on all three SABC

channels as well as e.tv, kyk-NET and CTV, and can beviewed at https://safely-home.westerncape.gov.za/.The commercial is adaptedfrom the “Damage” adproducedby Northern Ireland’s govern-ment.Grant says this advertise-ment was credited by the IrishRoad Safety Authority as hav-ing brought about a doubling inback seat seat belt wearing anda 50% increase in front seatwearing rates in Ireland andNorthern Ireland.The “First Kiss” commercialhas been localised to reflectWestern Cape and South Afri-can circumstances, and the fo-cus has been shifted from thecrash to the people involved.The shoot took place over twodays in studio and on locationin Woodstock and the Bo-Kaap.Local companies provided allservices.Real traffic officers, forensicpathology technicians, emer-gency medical technicians andfiremen took part in themakingof the advertisement.He adds: “Not wearing a seatbelt is against the law. It is alsoextremely dangerous, not justfor you, but for other people inthe car.Unbuckled passengers be-come wrecking balls in a colli-sion, killing and severely injur-ing others, even passengerswhohavebuckledup.Wecanallbe a part of the change that willmake our roads safer, andmakethe life-saving decision to buck-le up whenever we are inside acar.”

PENNED BY A JOURNO

You don’tdrive aloneI have been a licenced driver for a fewyearsnow and because of my job, how far awayfrom civilisation I live and the lifestyle Ilead, I spend much of my life behind thewheel.In a bid to drive the fastest, nicest, coolest

or flashiest car we can afford, drivers thesedays seem to forget howmuchof a responsi-bility it is to be in control of a vehicle.In a rush to get where we need to be, the

common courtesies that need to be shownwhile driving, especially on our nationalroads, are blatantly ignored by some.This morning, on my 44km commute to

the office, my driver-side mirror became acasualty of what can only be referred to asnegligent driving.Driving at 120km/H in the fast lane on

one of our national roads, I was met withthe unwelcome invasion of a work truckwhose driver felt it was okay to cross threelanes straight from the off-ramp.In a bid to avoid an accident that could

have claimed my life (and maybe the truckdriver’s too, seeing as he was not wearinghis seat belt) I swerved onto the shoulder,hitting my mirror on the barrier wall. Thetruck was right next to my car at the time.To many this may not seem like a big

deal, but the other driver refused to ac-knowledge anywrongdoing and flashedmethe almighty middle finger.A quick check of your blindspot before

changing lanes would be appreciated nexttime.It is behaviour like this that really needs

to change. The road is for us all. Not onlyfor those drivers who continue to force oth-ers off the road, who think the safe follow-ing distance is an invitation to changelanes, who drive as if their tyres are not al-lowed to touch the tar and especially thosewho are irresponsible in thinking their ac-tions will not affect others.Robots, stop and yield signs, speed limits

and other road rules are not suggestions.The most dangerous drivers are not only

those who drive drunk, it is especiallythosewho drive for themselves. The realityis when you get behind the wheel, you takethe lives of all the other drivers around youin your hands.Next time you drive, think about your ac-

tions.

Emergency callsaves the dayTwo weeks ago I was reading TygerBur-ger*, which highlighted the N1 and N2emergency assistance number(021 946 1646).

I put the contact into my cellphone,not thinking I would ever need it.

On Sunday 13 March I was on the N2coming from Jan Smuts Drive inAthlone. Driving just past the airport Inoticed my car smoking and the heatgauge going up. I slowed down justabout 500m before the R300 turnoff.

Not a safe area to stop at all, I calledthe emergency number and gave themthe logistics of where I was and toldthem I was all alone (the scariest fiveminutes ever).

Within five minutes a police vanpulled up with two officers who waitedwith me. Then a traffic services cararrived with a female and male officer.

A white patrol van then broughtwater and assisted me. They were kind,helpful and patient and I am utterlygrateful for this service, so a big thankyou to everybody who assisted me.Thank you to the best-run city.

What City, residentsdo with shack firesWith winter on our doorstep and the firstchill felt in the Mother City, we dreadthe devastation and loss of life andproperty suffered by shack dwellers ininformal settlements.

Ongoing education regarding the threatof open fires remains a priority, andsome media reports purport that theblame must be placed on local govern-ment in respect of the cause of shackfires.

The misleading reports cover most ofthe bases, except for explaining thenarrative and implications of informalsettlements on private land.

Legally, the City of Cape Town, provin-cial government or other authorities areprohibited from building electrical orplumbing infrastructure on private landwhere informal settlements have sprungup.

But the City is proactive in supplyingportable toilets to prevent the potentialspread of disease.Another stumbling block, as reported,

is that local informal settlement residentsironically stone firefighters and incurmuch damage to firefighting vehicleswhen arriving to extinguish fires.These brave officials are deployed to

help the very shack dwellers.To alleviate their plight of experiencing

devastating fires, the initiative to usealternative solar energy and photovoltaicinstallations by the community leader-ship of the Siqalo informal settlement inMitchell’s Plain has been welcomed.“God gave us the sun and the wind.

Best that we use them,” as quipped by alocal.

Good things happenFive years ago I was in Grade 11 andneeded funding for a student exchangetrip to Germany. One of your journal-ists wrote an article and told my story.Through the article I received a sponsorwho funded my trip during which I meta German teacher and principal.

Two years later they offered me anopportunity of a lifetime and I had achance to further my studies at anyinstitute of my choice and in any coursehere in Cape Town. They covered allmy travelling costs, medical costs andfees. Today I am a qualified beautytherapist working in Rondebosch.

Thank you so much – if it wasn’t forthat article I don’t know what wouldhave become of me.

Heroes gave us our rightsOn 21 March, South Africans officiallycelebrate Human Rights Day, declared apublic holiday in 1994 following theinauguration of then president NelsonMandela.

Monday’s celebration paid tribute tothose 69 unarmed persons who lost theirlives and the countless injured in theirpursuit to ensure freedom, fairness andopportunities for all South Africans.

The protest was against the pass lawsat the time. The pass law was alsohumiliatingly referred to as the dompasand was a particular indignation forblack men who had to produce it ondemand and could be arrested on the spotif they did not have it on them.

Also referred to as heroes’ day, theevent marked an awakening across theworld to the inhumanity of the apartheid

regime. However, it also meant the startof the end for peaceful protests againstapartheid in South Africa.My appeal to you, the unregistered

voter, the one who enjoys the freedom ofreligion, belief and opinion, freedom ofexpression, freedom of association andthe right to education is to be remindedof those who lost their lives to ensure wehave these rights. In addition to access-ing these rights let all of us be mindful ofthe associated responsibilities.So, don’t say “I don’t need to vote” or

“My voice does not matter” but, rather,as an affected stakeholder, find mediumsto convey your concerns or supportpertaining to issues that affect all SouthAfricans.

Apiece ofCapeTown’shistoryhas goneupfor sale this week as the first public tele-

scope placed on TableMountain in 1930 waslisted on www.gumtree.co.za.

The telescope was purchased in 1991 byUCT employee Julian Meyer, a collector oftelescopes, from the chief technical officerfor a brass scrap price.

At the time, the telescope had fallen outofuseas its objective lenswasbadly crackedand the prisms were chipped.

However, this does notmean that the tele-scope has lost any of its historical value.

“This is obviously a very, very rare pieceand would be an amazing restorationproject or an extremely valuable collectable

for display.“Some very important people looked

through this telescope during the years itwas on the mountain,” says Meyer.

The telescope was mounted for publicviewing next to the upper cable station in1930, just after the opening of the cable car.

Some of the illustrious visitors who mayhave peered through its lenses include theBritish Royal family during their 1947SouthAfrican tour – where theywere greet-ed by the then 77-year old Prime Minister,Jan Smuts.

Smuts not only hiked to the top of themountain tomeet them, but arrived back intown in time for a joint sitting of the Housesof Parliament.

Meyer was able to confirm the telescope’sauthenticity through the South African As-tronomical Observatory. He also unearthedfrom online archives a picture of it in itsplace on the mountain.

A former Zeiss employee visiting CapeTown fromtheUnitedStateswasable topro-vide the exact manufacture date and sentMeyer the original token used to test thetimingmechanism,which takes the place ofthe coins that thepublicused topay for theirview of the city and the ocean.

After trying to get the telescope refur-bished by the now defunct SA Navy OpticalWorkshop and by the Table Mountain Aeri-al Cableway Company as a possible publicexhibit, Meyer reluctantly put it up for sale.

“I hope whoever buys it will have betterluck than I did in getting this wonderful tel-escope back into working condition.”

“And then I said to myself: ‘Maybe to-day is the day.’”This is how Zimbabwean Mike

Fokoroni describes his 03:13:33 victory inthe OldMutual Two Oceans UltraMarathon(Omtom) on Saturday.Fokoroni raced to a comfortable finish,

outpacing and ultimately beating fellowcountryman and Nedbank athlete CollenMakaza (3:14:45) and last year’s champ Mot-lokoa Nkhabutlane (3:16:22) to the finishline.

“The weather was so great! The pace wasslow in the beginning and I was just holdingback until half way,” Fokoroni added at thefinish line.

“I just hung onto the stronger guys. At45km I got confident and I saw the victorycould be mine if I tried, and that’s when Istarted to push.”Meanwhile, Caroline Wöstmann contin-

ued her path of marathon domination, suc-cessfully defending her 56km Omtom title.

Wöstmann,whohadbeen clear at the startthat she intended to run at a slower pace,maintained a comfortable distance fromrace leader Tanith Maxwell. She took thelead in the final kilometres of the race – ina similar fashion to her surprise win lastyear – and broke the finish ribbon in a timeof 03:44:44.“It was a great training session with a

strong end result,” Wöstmann said of herwin.

Fokoroni’s finish was the slowest in 22years, while Wöstmann’s finish was alsoconsiderably slower than previous ultrawins. Wöstmann noted that the absence oftheRussianathletes (still banned frominter-national participation) eased the pressuresomewhat and contributed to a slower raceoverall.

In thehalfmarathonmen’s race,NamakoeNkhasi sprinted to the finish in a time of01:03:38, beating Olympic hopeful Elroy Ge-lant by two seconds and narrowly missingthe course record. David Manja finished in

third place (1:03:45). Nkhasi attributed theweather conditions to his end result.In the women’s race, Irvette van Zyl

clinched the half marathon title in a time of01:13:14. Fellow Nedbank runner OnneileDintwe from Botswana reached the finishline fourminutes later, while Namibian Ali-na Armas came third (01:18:05).SouthAfrican-bornColleendeReuck trav-

elled from the United States to make her ul-tra marathon debut in the Omtom. She fin-

ished fifth, much to the delight of the cheer-ing crowd at the finish line.De Reuck’s finish time of 3:53:07 also

smashed the 50 to 60 year age group recordby over 20 minutes.

In addition, she has recorded a new worldrecord for her age group by reaching the50km mark in 3:27:28. The previous 50kmrecord in the 50 to 54 age category was3:41:57, set in 1994.

According to race doctor Adrian Rotunno,

the cool and overcast weather, coupled withspots of light rain,made fornear perfect raceconditions.“Some of themost commonmedical issues

included mild to severe gastro, nausea andvomiting. Another common issue was exer-cise-associated postural hypotension, withdizziness and several episodes of collapseafter the finish line. Luckily the team wasthere to catch the runners, and simple treat-mentwith lower limbelevationdid the trick.The physios were kept very busy, treatingmuscle cramps. ‘Locked legs’ were the orderof the day.
