“We trained people on how to use the ra-dio, how to report crime to patrollers,how to describe a suspicious person sothat it will be easy to keep track, as wellas how to report crime and what to do ata crime scene. We want everyone to knowwhat to do then work will be much eas-ier,” says Daniels.

In the meeting crime statistics andcrime trends were given. Police are con-cerned with the increase in theft of cars,as well as theft out of cars. Residents arewarned to not leave valuables in theircars. There has been a noted increase innumber of cellphones stolen from peoplewalking and talking in the street and theneighbourhood watch is calling on peopleto be vigilant.

“Don’t attract crime. Even if it’s run-ning back into your house, make surethat you don’t leave anything in your carexposed. A lot of things are being stolenout of cars and that can be avoided if peo-ple are vigilant.

“We are also urging people to not walkin the streets talking on their phones orplayingmusic. Theyare attractingpeopleto rob them, so can people be extra care-ful,” urges Graham.

With the festive season almost here res-idents are encouraged to inform the NHWwhen leaving on holiday so that regularpatrols can be done.

“If you’re going away for the holiday letus know so that we keep an eye on yourhouse. Residents should also ask theirneighbours to clear their letter boxes, aswell as move dirt bins onto the propertyon collection days.

“We want to keep the area safe for ev-eryone and people must work with us tomake sure we keep the place safe.”

Councillor Lisa Mcbride also attendedthe meeting and once again thanked allthe roleplayers in the Maitland area fortheir contributions in trying to makeMaitland a safer place for all residents,she said.

Three housebreaking suspects were ar-rested after a high-speed car chase onMonday last week.Mowbray police officers were conduct-

ing routine crime prevention patrolsalong the M3 when they spotted a 2006 sil-ver VW Polo with four suspicious men.When the occupants of the car spotted

the police vehicle they sped off in the di-rection of Woodstock, sparking the carchase. The officers eventually pulled over

the car in Woodstock and one of the sus-pects managed to escape on foot.Police established that the vehicle had

been hijacked in Gugulethu earlier in No-vember and the number plates on the carhad been cloned. Police recovered house-breaking implements inside the car.The three suspects, aged 25, 30 and 37,

are linked to housebreaking cases in SeaPoint, Diepriver and Mowbray. Subse-quent investigations have also estab-lished that a warrant of arrest was out forone of the men in connection with a mur-der in Gugulethu in June.

Three ‘burglars’ nabbedFACTRETON

‘Complain moreto get it fixed’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Lisa McBride, ward 56 councillor, is ap-pealing to residents to be the eyes of the

community and report anything that theCity of Cape Town needs to fix.McBride made this call after a teenager

from Factreton fell into an open drain afterthe cover had been stolen.It is allegedly its the fourth time this year

that someonehas fallen intoadrainbecauseit had no cover.Since the accident the child has been

struggling with headaches, nauseousnessand permanent pain. People’s Post tried totalk to the teen’s mother but the family wasnot available as they were going in and outof the clinic to get help for her daughter.The mother confirmed that her child fell

into the open drain and is finding it difficultto concentrate now.McBride says the accident could have

been avoided if community members tookit upon themselves to be the eyes of theircommunity and report anything that needsto be fixed.She urges residents to use the City’s C3

system to report matters so that they canbe followed up easily. She also asks thatthey report if anything is of concern so thatit can be looked into by the City.“I am once again appealing to all resi-

dents to report open drains, street lightsthat are broken or not working, potholes,missing street signs, even fading roadmarks. I am appealing to people to report

open drains and if they find that the draincovers are not replacedwithin a reasonabletimeframe they should contact me so thatI can follow up.“We should all be the eyes of our commu-

nity and improve it by working together,”she says.In a bid to make the community better

McBride also appeals that people who usewheelchairs or have relatives who usewheelchairs request paving for theirstreets, so that it will be easy for those inwheelchairs to move from one place to an-other.“I want to appeal once again for residents

to phone in or SMS the names of streetswhere the pavements are not tarred or re-quire sidewalks.”

The more the merrier“The last time this request went out only

three residents responded. I could not applywith this because funds are allocated basedon needs – areas are prioritisedwhere thereis a clear need. If we have more people re-questing it, something can be done, so I amappealing to those who are affected to re-quest the paving or sidewalks, so that wegive those who are in wheelchairs an equalopportunity.”To report matters residents are urged to

use the City’s C3 system which will lead toa referencenumberbeingassigned to the re-port. This number can be used to track theprogress of what has been reported.Call 086 010 3089 or SMS 31373 or email

Next year’s Cape TownBigWalk promisesto be bigger, better and more inclusive

of the greater Cape Town community.The annual outdoor event’s new title and

logo were launched at the Sports Science In-stitute onWednesday last week to introducethe reformed Sunfoil Cape Town Big Walkpresented by Spur.In what has become an iconic Cape Town

event, the 15-year tradition will take placein Green Point on 28 February.TheBigWalk has a long-standing commit-

ment to fundraising in support of charity or-ganisations.When thewalkwas established in 2000, its

primary objective was to raise funds for theRed Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospi-tal and the Islamic Library.With the unveiling of the newbrand, orga-

nisers said there was an opportunity to wid-en the capacity of the fundraising aspectwhich led to the establishment of the CapeTown Big Walk Foundation.

Year-long programmeUnder a new three-tier structure, funding

will be channelled towards existing benefi-ciaries but also other new projects and char-ity organisations aligned with the BigWalk’s support pillars of education, fitnessand health.A programme of activities will be orga-

nised throughout the year, including bookcollection drives, a focus on healthy eatingand outdoor fitness activities.“The rebranding reflects the history and

evolution of the Big Walk, and its vision tobecome one of the largest events on theMother City’s social calendar,” saidmarket-ing manager Parveen Banderker.The event has two distances – a 5km route

and the more popular 10km route. Startingon the forecourt of the Cape Town stadium,the scenic walk makes its way along the SeaPoint Promenade and finishes inside theGreen Point track.“Cape Town is a global destination and a

wonderfully diverse metropolis. It’s a placepeople want to live, work and visit. We feltthat there was a natural fit between ourwalk and the Cape Town brand, and goingforward, the Cape Town Big Walk will an-chor itself as one of the city’s truly iconicevents,” said Banderker.

Elias Parker, the event’s director, said theBig Walk had become a social and culturalinstitution in its own right.“We’ve always been very proud of the fact

that our Big Walk is inclusive, for everyonein the community. With the exciting newchanges, we are confident that our eventwill continue to grow,” said Parker.V For more information on the Sunfoil Cape Town BigWalk presented by Spur call 021 637 1607 or visitwww.capetownbigwalk.com.

Longtime pals now use WhatsAppA few formerWindermereHigh School pu-

pils have been friends for over 50 years.A group of seniors, who met at the school

in 1964, says since they met they have notlet go.

They have created a WhatsApp group tokeep in touch and theymeet up for breakfastonce a month and talk about their days atschool and encourage and strengthen eachother.Aboveall, theydon’t forget to be grate-ful for the journey that they have walked to-gether and that they are still together.

On Saturday they had a thanksgivingbreakfast together at one of the friends’house. They teased each other whilst theyhad a good time.

Opening their meeting with a note of wel-

comewas DeeMatthews who said they weregrateful for their friendship because it wasa special thing.“We have been buddies for long andwe re-

ally appreciate that we have managed tokeep together for somany years. Friendshipis a gift fromGod and I really thank each andone of you for being here and for us stickingtogether in the good and the bad times.”When theyare together they talk about the

good old days – how they used to be at schooland their boyfriends and girls and who wasthenaughty one andhow theykeep each oth-er laughing.They sit and reminisce about those days

and they say what young people don’t do to-day is value true friendship.

“Whenwegot to the schoolwe just clicked.Most of us happened to be in the same classand since then we never let go.

“When someone is having a bad time wewill all go to comfort him. When a parentdied we would make sure that we went andvisited them. With that our bond togetherhas grown so much. Now and again we gofor outings and talk about the good things.We really enjoy each other’s company,” saysUrsula Daniels.

Over the years most of them got marriedand when they attend their gatherings theybring their partners with to share the joy.

“It’s so amazing to have friendswhomyoucan trust and count on.When you don’t havefamily around you know you have people

who will help you out and hold your hand.Not so many people can keep their friendsfor so long and for us it just shows God’sgrace. It’s very vital to have friends who arealways there.

“We believe that what has kept us for thislong is being honest and open with each oth-er. We have been there through the joys andthe sorrows. Everyone knows if there issomethingnot okay they canpickupaphoneand call a friend who will be quick to assist.The love that we have for one another reallykeeps us going,” adds Matthews.Margaret Saaiman says when they look

back they are amazed by how far they havecome and where they are still going togeth-er.

Fifty years later they are still friends and their friendship is growing stronger and stronger.PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

“After a lifetime of working, rais-ing families and contributing to

the success of this nation in countlessother ways, senior citizens deserve toretire with dignity.”

American politician Charlie Gonz-alez’s sentiment has led to a seniorcitizen massage project by NGOThando’s Touch Maitland to care forthe elderly in old-age homes aroundthe city.

The project offers senior citizensfree massage therapy.

It is still a pilot project for the nextsix months, but they feel the smilesfrom the seniors are paying off al-ready and that it is a much-neededservice for them.

Residents of old-age homes are of-ten inactive, making it easy for dis-ease to attack, says Thando Mngqibi-sa, founder and director of Thando’sTouch. With the new project the eld-erly have a reason to smile.

The project was started in Octoberin three old-age homes, namely theHaven in Woodstock, CPOA Oakhav-en in Heideveld and EkuphumleniFrail and Aged Care in Gugulethu.

With the encounters that they havehad at these homes massaging theelderly they can say their feet are seton the right path.

Mngqibisa says the events they hadare leaving the old people livened up.

“Our past events have proven to bea success. We can only grow fromstrength to strength going forward.The smiles on their faces does noth-ing but confirms their gratitude.

“The patients we serve are oftenforgotten, lonely and spend most oftheir ageing days in isolation. Wewant to change this behaviour andmindset by using the power of touchto give physiological and emotionalsupport. Our aim is to decrease thefeelings of isolation, depression, anx-iety and pain,” she says.

Love, supportShe says her organisation is pas-

sionate about seniors.“We are passionate about the aged

and we want to give them an im-proved, higher quality of life. This isa life-changing, spiritual journey,where there is a connection of thebody, mind and soul. It is a great op-portunity where senior citizens re-ceive love, support, care and friend-ship.

“Senior citizens are an importantpart of our lives and our very exis-tence. We want to show this genera-tion that a good deed, a simple act ofkindness can make this world a bet-ter place.”

Though their main focus at the mo-ment is on old-age homes, Mngqibisasays they are not neglecting seniorswithin the communities.

“We started at old-age homes asthese are the people who need helpthe most. We will be going out as wellin communities and have a mobiletruck where we can help our seniorcitizens. We are taking things gradu-ally as we don’t have funds at the mo-ment. We know we will get there andchange the lives of our old people outthere,” she says.

They are inviting volunteers, spon-sors, partners, artists and the com-munity to join them at their events.

Yankees push A’s all the waySEAN CAMPBELL

Athlone A’s moved to joint topspot of the BAWP MajorLeague after overcoming

Westridge Yankees on Saturdayand Bellville Tygers on Sunday inthis weekend’s double-headerround of fixtures.Tyrone Brandt and Lloyd Stev-

ens shared the pitching duties andrestrictedWestridge to a single runin the third innings to set up Ath-lone’s 2-1 win at Stephen Reagansport grounds in Mitchell’s Plain.Westridge will rue their missed

opportunities as they left a total of10 runners stranded on the base,five of them in the first two inningscompared to Athlone’s six in total.Westridge amassed six hits off

Brandt in 5.2 innings and none offStevens in his 3.1 innings. Athlonerecorded five hits from Dean Mar-tin in five innings and four offJaysonRipepi in his three innings.Westridge’s best hitter was Wes-

ley Rushin (3 for 4) while RiyaadMoosa (3-4) and Dillian Daniels(2-4) were Athlone’s best hitters.Moosa and Daniels recorded RBIeach for Athlone.BothMoosa and Daniels were al-

so guilty of some poor base-run-ning options during the game.Westridge recorded two double

plays to Athlone’s one.

A’s bullpen shut out BellvilleThe combined effort of ex-pro

baller Carl Michaels (six innings),Stevens (two innings) and rookieLee Marks (one inning) restrictedBellville to six hits and a singlebase on ball without conceding a

run inAthlone’s 3-0 victory onSun-day.Athlone’s three runs were

scored in the crucial seventh in-nings on two hits, 1 BB, 1 HBP and

a sacrifice fly from Darren Wedel.Coach Lester Smith made an in-

spired change when he brought onstalwart Tyrone Brandt to pinchhit for the youngster Mathew Die-

dericks. Brandt came up with agame-winning hit to centrefield toscore brothers Riyaad and FaizelMoosa who got on base through ahit and HBP respectively.It was, however, the Bellville

bullpen that faltered. ProballerCallan Pearce gave them a goodstart (5 inn, 2 hits and 9 strikeouts)with Shannon Eckermans doing a1 inning relief before the crucialseventh innings. Karl Rohm start-ed the seventh, but only faced threebatters (1BB, 1H and a HBP) beforeAnthony Phillips (2 Inn and 3H)finished the game.Darren Wedel (2 for 2, 1 sacrifice

fly and 1 RBI) and Brandt (1 for 1with 2 RBIs) were Athlone’s besthitters. Kyle Ettish (2 for 3) and Jo-nathan Phillips (1 for 2) did best forBellville.
