CITY CENTRE

Law to jam car burglarsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Safety and security agencies in the citycentre are working towards having re-mote jamming devices formally classi-

fied as implements used to break into cars.This as the Cape Town Central City Im-

provement District (CCID), along with po-lice, other improvement districts, communi-ty police forums and council law agenciesenter into talks with the National Prosecut-ing Authority (NPA), says Muneeb Hen-dricks, safety and security manager of theCCID.

The NPA is the body to prosecute crimi-nals, providing it can be proven that the re-

mote was used to gain access to the car.Any common remote can be used to jam

a car locking or alarm signal, Hendricks ex-plains.

“The words ‘car break-in implement’ referto an item used in conjunction with force,such as a forcible entry into your car. Forexample, a spark plug can be used to shatteryour window, a Slim Jim can be used to for-cibly open your lock or a screwdriver canbe used to force open the lock barrel. Howev-er, there is no force used when using a re-mote jamming device. In addition it is alsoa common item that could reasonably befound on any normal person,” he adds.

This means that even though the culpritis identified and caught in possession of the

device, no arrest can be made unless the cul-prit is caught in the car or in possession ofthe stolen items, Hendricks says.

Remote jamming works very simply, Hen-dricks explains. When a driver presses hisremote to lock his car, a thief close by willpress a hidden remote device of his own re-peatedly that overwhelms the airwaves inthe area and blocks the driver’s remote sig-nal to the car.

“If you simplybeep the remotewhilewalk-ing away and you don’t physically checkthat the car is locked, there is a fair chancethat it might in fact not be. It is imperativethat you physically try to open the dooryourself before you walk away.”

Remote jamming is particularly problem-

atic because most insurance companies willnot pay out unless there is physical proofthat a theft has occurred, Hendricks ex-plains.

The matter is of such concern that theCCID has made it a focal point of its current“stash it, don’t flash it” campaign.

“One of the biggest problems with remotejamming is that it has made breaking intocars a simple daytime crime, whereas beforeif one had to break into a car with force, itwas mostly done under cover of darkness.

“During the day business people, especial-ly, tend to carry more valuables in their carssuch as laptops and tablets, so the loss is thatmuch greater.”V Continued on page 2.

A group of concerned residents from across Cape Town cametogether under the auspices of the #ZumaMustFall campaign inthe CBD on Thursday. The march – on the same day as the Sateof the Nation Address – saw protesters walk through the city fromGreen Market Square to the Grand Parade. March organiserChristelle Scheepers, addressing the crowd, said: “We expecteveryone to be equal in the eyes of the law, including the presi­dent.” PHOTO: LOUISA STEYL

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Communities light up city streetsThe rhythmic steps and musical

celebration of local talentwhich characterises the CapeTown Carnival will once again setthe streets of the city alight as com-munity groups join in the fun.

More than 40 entertainmentgroups from communities andschools across the city will danceto the carnival beat on Saturday 12March.

The seventh annual Cape TownCarnival will once again mesmer-ise spectators, with giant floats,wackypuppets andadisplay of spe-ciality acts – each designed, builtand choreographed specifically forthis year’s “Street life” theme. Theevent will light up the fan walk inGreen Point with more than 2000costumed musicians and perform-ers participating.

In addition, entertainmentgroups from communities andschools across the city will havetheir moment in the spotlightwhen they join the fiesta on the fanwalk, including the Aphrodite Bel-ly Dancers from Athlone, Laven-der Hill High School, the LikweziArts Project from Nyanga and thePhathizwelethu Marimba Bandfrom Gugulethu, says GarrethBloor, Mayco member for tourism,events and economic development.

“This year’s carnival will cele-brate ourdiverse communities andcultures. The ‘Street life’ theme ex-plores how people use public spaceand how they interact in those spa-ces,” he says.Carnival goerswill have the free-

dom of the city streets from 15:00as they enjoy a variety of food,crafts and special children’s activi-ties. The parade itself begins at19:00.

“The City of Cape Town is aproud supporter of the carnivaland the extensive participation ofour communities in the event. Theevent shines a light on Cape Town

and the talent and the creativity ofits people. It gives the groups anop-portunity to strut their stuff on aunique stage and exposes carnivalgoers to new and exciting perform-ers,” Bloor says.

“This colourful, rhythmic andglamorous celebration of our city’sdiversity is one of the most antici-pated events on our calendar. It ca-

ters for a wide variety of tastes andweencourage everyone to attend tobe part of the excitement andgrowthof the cityasadestination.”

As part of a commitment to thedevelopment of the participatingcommunity groups, the carnivalwill see the groups team up withleading choreographers andmusiccoordinators in the industry.

Cape Town Carnival CEO JayDouwes says: “The carnival workswith an extensive base of stake-holders made up of participatingcommunities of performers, art-ists, media partners and sponsorsto bring spectators an experienceof togetherness and celebrationnotto be rivalled in South Africa to-day.”

More than 40entertainmentgroups fromcommunities andschools acrossthe city willdance to thecarnival beat onSaturday 12March.

FROM PAGE 1Having remote jamming devices classifiedas implements used to break into carswould help law enforcement agencies, aspreventative work can then be done to ar-rest suspects for being in possession ofthese implements, Hendricks says.“Thiswould go a longway to prevent theft

out of cars, which is a highly problematiccrime category throughout the country. Itwill also allow the prosecutor to be able tosecure successful convictions when sus-pects are arrested,” he says.“We are always looking to prevent inci-

dents rather than having to react to themafterwards. This would make suspectsaware that they risk arrest if they are foundtobe inpossessionof remoteswhile theyarescouting a potential area.”Hendricks says there are severalways for

car owners to safeguard themselves againstthis type of crime, such as keeping all valua-bles out of sight in the car’s boot and stash-ing valuables before they park by placingthem in the boot before the start of the jour-ney. “In the central city all of our CCID pub-lic safety officers are also specificallytrained to notice as far as possible whoclimbs out ofwhich car, and towarndriversto check their doors when they park.”Hendricks advises that if you do fall vic-

tim to remote jamming, though, to followthrough with more than just a police reportand to ensure your car is fingerprinted.“That way when the culprit is caught, the

police will be able to make the link and theperson can be chargedwithmultiple countsof breaking into cars, rather than just theone for which he happened to be caught.”

Student accommodation at UCT came un-der the spotlight yesterday as Rhodes MustFall campaigners constructed a shack onResidence Road to draw attention to pover-ty and the housing needs for students.While the university says it respects the

constitutional right of any member of theUCTcommunity toparticipate inprotest ac-tion on the campus, they also admit thatUCT is facing an accommodation issue.

“The main reasons for this is that some700bedsnormally released in early Januaryin any given year could not be released dueto deferred exams,” said Elijah Moholola, aUCT spokesperson.

“There are also outstanding financial aiddecisions and a dramatically increased callfrom students for help with accommoda-tion. We suspect this was influenced by na-tional public statements about debt relief,the promise to fund all those in need anddiscussions about free education.”The university has 6680 beds for its 27 000

students. Therefore 75% of students liveoutside the residence system.

“We are making significant progress indealing with the situation and have foundaccommodation for hundreds of students,”says Moholola. “We have provided tempo-raryaccommodation, foodand transport forthese students.We are appealing for privateproperty owners in Cape Town who mayhave rooms, cottages available to step for-ward and help us in placing students whoare still in need of accommodation and whoare in temporary accommodation.

“UCT rejects completely the accusationby Rhodes Must Fall that we are seeking toexclude students from accommodation onthe basis of race.“Interfering with staff and operations at

UCTcompounded the accommodation issueas various offices that where meant to dealwith accommodation had to be closed dueto Rhodes Must Fall interference.”

He mentions some unacceptable behav-iour during the protest yesterday, includ-ing the burning of rubbish bins and inter-rupting traffic access to upper campus.V Members of the public who would like more infor-mation about how they can help with student accom-modation can call 021 650 4934 or email ocsas@uct.ac.za.

TheArdmoreCeramicArtCapeTownexhi-bition hosted annually at the Cellars-Ho-henortHotel inConstantia is back fromFri-day to Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00 daily.This year the exhibition is inspired by

theKalahari. Standing as a testament to theway inwhich life is able to adapt and thrivein the harshness of extreme conditions, theKalahari offered the Ardmore artists athought-provoking fresh landscape and en-vironment to work with.Ardmore founder Fée Halsted says this

year’s Kalahari Cats exhibition has beenthe most challenging and exciting exhibi-tion for the Ardmore team to ever work on.Ardmore ceramic art is associated with

an abundance of colour and lavish plantswith galloping wild animals as subjects.The usual animals, like zebra, leopard,

giraffe, elephant and crocodile, have beenexchanged for meerkat, badger, aardvark,ostrich, bat-eared fox, cheetah and rhino.“This new wilderness is a unique land-

scape that heavily contrasts with anythingelse that our artists haveworked on before.This is the first time they have had to usetheir expressive qualities to convey thestark and textured Kalahari, and they haveresponded to the plethora of Kalahari lifewith a new awakening and interest,” saysHalsted.Part of the line-up of the exhibition isBet-

ty Ntshingila, known as the bird lady ofArdmore, who has been working with rap-tors as subject matter for the first time, aswell as lilac-breasted rollers, scarlet-breasted shrike, korhaan and hornbills.Her social weaver nest-like vases are

works that Ardmore is looking forward toshowcase to collectors at the exhibition.

The Rape Crisis organisation is celebrat-ing its 40th anniversary this year. It is al-

so the oldest organisation dealing with therape of adults in South Africa.Rape Crisis has offices in Observatory,

Athlone and Khayelitsha and bases at threeregional hospitals and five regional magis-trates’ courts in the Western Cape.Rape Crisis is still regarded primarily as

a woman’s organisation.Over 8000 sexual offences occur in the

Western Cape each year, with conservativeestimates saying that the number representsjust the one in nine cases that gets reported,meaning that the true extent of the problemis much larger, according to Kathleen Dey,Rape Crisis’ director.“99% of the rape survivors that we offer

services to are women and they experiencethe bulk of the problem. The impact that wemake on communities is that we really arethe go-to organisation for anybody who hasany kind of question or who he is sufferingthe impact of rape.”Dey says the change in government over

the last 20 years hasmade a very substantivechange to the way that rape is responded toby the criminal justice system. They have al-so seenan improvement inpolicing, in foren-sic examinations and huge improvements inthe court.However, in the last decade she says there

hasbeenadownturn in those improvements.“I think that the government has not allo-

cated enough resources and there isn’t bud-

get for the kind ofmaintenance and improve-ment and ongoing change that is needed inthe criminal justice system, specificallywithregard to specialised offences court.”What has been encouraging is that the gov-

ernment has promised to roll out 200 of thesespecialised courts across South Africa.“We will be monitoring how they do that

in the Western Cape specifically, but alsoacross the rest of the country, to make surethat they actually deliver on that promise.If they do as they promise then we would seethat roll-out happening over probably thenext 10 years,” adds Dey.“We would want to see an average of 10

new courts being rolled out each year fromnowuntil 2025. Also, that each courtmust ac-tually meet the requirement of the blueprintfor a sexual offences court. Government can-not just say that this is a sexual offencescourt; it has to be operating and functionalas a sexual offences court to meet the re-quirement.”Rape Crisis has stood the test of time and,

despite numerous funding crises, the organi-sation has managed to transform the modelit uses to operate to carry out its duties moreeffectively. The programme itself has alsochanged to havemore of a focus on advocacy.Dey urges the various communities to con-

tinue their involvement with Rape Crisis inhelping themmake a difference byway of do-nations, by getting involved in the organisa-tion’s campaigns or volunteering their timeand expertise to make Rape Crisis more ac-cessible to the communities it serves.“You can never reach out to people on the

subject without acknowledging that some of

them might be survivors who might needhelp and therefore our counselling servicesare available 24/7, 365 days a year.”She cites the Anene Booysen rape and

murder case in 2013 as a turning point forthe campaign against rape, as it drew im-mense outrage from the public in terms ofseeking justice.“It used to be that you [needed to be] a chil-

dren’s charity or the SPCA in order to reachpeople’s hearts enough for them to be ableto reach into their pockets. But nowadays,you can talk about sexual violence and itwillnot be a subject that people will keep quietabout. They want to see a change, they wantto see a difference, they want to see the raperate go down and I think that is a huge victo-ry.”She goes on to say that people are actually

prepared to talk openly about the subject.That ordinary citizens actually do want to

get involved is also encouraging, as well asthat these ordinary citizens are the oneswhohelped the organisation stay afloat during itsown time of crisis.“It is ordinary citizens, people who will

reach out and give that R50 every month.Some people are incredible and just giveR10 000 of their companymoney,” quipsDey.Rape Crisis will be conducting a series of

events throughout the year, especially dur-ing Women’s Month in August and in No-vember as well during the 16 Days of Activ-ism campaign.V For more information about Rape Crisis call021 447 1467.

An orphanage in Woodstock has found asolution for some of its food needs.Retail Consumer Solutions (RCS) has

funded a R50 000 food garden for the Al NoorOrphanageCentre. The investment includessupport and maintenance for a year.Through the installation, maintenance

and support of the organic food garden, theproject has enabled the orphanage to growits own fresh, nutrient-rich and chemical-free food.Helping to make it possible were 23 RCS

employees, Al Noor volunteers and UrbanHarvest, the planting partner. RCS staffwere allowed a paid day off to help with

planting the garden from scratch over fourdays.BenGertze,MDofUrbanHarvest, says the

orphanage has a strong leadership and cohe-sive team of staff who create a sense of safe-ty, home and community for their youth.“They have been hands-on in the garden

andhavemade great use of it so far,” he says.“What’s more, the garden is coming alongwell, despite intense winds in the area.”“With continued support from all parties,

the aim is to ensure a highly productive gar-den that generates food, income and skillsforAlNoor, the childrenand their surround-ing communities,” says Colleen Carstens,

CSI manager at RCS. “Together we have notonly planted a garden but are helping to feeda community and contribute to growingtheir future.”Amina Madien, founder and director of

the orphanage, is very happywith the initia-tive.“We are grateful to RCS and by extension

to UrbanHarvest for this great investment,”she says. “The philosophy behind the foodgarden is not just for eating; it teaches thechildren that in life whatever you sow it’swhat you must reap and thus motivates thebeneficiaries of the orphanage to be self-sus-tainable.”

ment unit that is tasked with enforcing theprovisions of the air quality managementby-law. The by-law prohibits the use of vehi-cles that emit dark smoke.Where such vehicles are spotted by the

public, the owners are requested to get a freeemissions test. Should the vehicle fail thetest, a repair notice will be served on theowner, affording him the opportunity tohave the vehicle repaired and to submit itfor a re-test. Non-compliance can result inthe owner getting a summons. The by-law al-so states that vehicles emitting dark smokemay be towed away – with the bill going tothe owners.In the second half of last year, just under

4 000 diesel vehicles were tested, with a totalof 14 failing tomeet the diesel emission stan-dards, says Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoralcommittee member for health.“That’s less than half a percent, compared

with the 17% failure rate when the City firststarted doing the diesel emissions test in2000,” he says.V Members of the public can report excessive smokeemissions from vehicles to the City’s air quality man-agement unit on 021 590 5200 during office hours.The complaint must include the registration numberof the vehicle, its make and model, the location anddirection of travel and the date and time.

CITY ACTS TO RESOLVE LONG VEHICLELICENCE QUEUES

The City of Cape Town has stepped in to issue licence disc renewal reminders. Vehicle ownerswill now be receiving renewal notices from the City rather than from national agencies as theydid previously.

This will reduce the inconvenience suffered over the past months which has been brought onby the failure of national government agencies to fulfil their responsibilities and which has putthe brakes on the issuing of renewal notices.

The National Department of Transport has not completed the transfer of the Electronic NationalTraffic Information System (eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Theyare not sending out renewal notices and they are unable to supply the City with more eNaTISterminals to enable us to increase our service capacity at our municipal offices.

Other City interventions to date include:• serving clients before the official opening time of our offices of 08:00 where possible• remaining open until the last person in the queue has been attended to• having staff work overtime to increase the capacity to serve customers• redeploying staff to hotspots across the metro

Customers are also encouraged to apply for their vehicle licence online by visitingwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices.

National government regulations now require proof of residence when applying for a licencerenewal. So please don’t forget to bring your ID and, if possible, please make copies of your IDand proof of residence as this will reduce the time spent at our municipal centres.

For a full list of acceptable documents that constitute proof, residents can visit the WesternCape Government website: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw

For more information please contact vehicle.licence@capetown.gov.za.

We thank you for your patience and support.

ler), Godenstein’s plan is to immortalisehimself as thebest andmost greatest invent-or in the history of the universe.

Doctor on a bender for ‘man’

MOUILLE POINT

Local producer draws in ‘rare find’LOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

It’s not unusual to hear of local artists beingsigned to international labels, but whatabout the other way round?Mouille Point producer Helmut Meijer re-

cently teamed up with American Idols final-ist Cari Quoyeser (pronounced “Key-Hay-Zar”) to release her single “Fall of Rome”un-der his StoneBear & Mayor Records label.Helmut, who was a co-founder of Mer-

chant Records and has a string of Sama

awards behind his name, is well-known forhis work as composer and producer, but heis also a Hebrew scholar.It was this interest that took him to Israel

where he met Cari at the Abraham Hostelwhile the two were both on a sabbatical.The “bubbly girl” whom he had got to

know briefly during their time at the hostellater bumped into him again and asked himto sit in on an open mic night at the hostel.“My jaw was on the floor,” Helmut says.

Cari was already a regular on the musicscene in Austen, Texas and had performedat the popular American SXSW festival. Sheplaced in the top 30 of the 11th AmericanIdols competition – no mean feat when youconsider that she was up against 110 000 oth-er singers.Despite the less than ideal setting of the

informal open mic night, Cari “held herown”andHelmutwas sold, tellingher: “Thisis a complete rare find.”Once back in South Africa, Helmut dis-

cussed Cari’s talent with his business part-ners and they offered to record and releaseher self-written single if she got herself toSouth Africa at her own cost.At home, Cari sings a brand of alternative

indie under the nameCari Q, but Helmut ex-plains they decided to give her new musicmore of a pop feel, switching to her fullname, to distinguish between her differentsounds. Another interesting point about thesong is that Helmut didn’t need to use autotune for this recording – something he saysis rare for the pop industry.StoneBear&MayorRecordswill be releas-

ing a second single for Cari in April, witha third one in the pipeline.The boutique independent label currently

works with three other female artists: Nina,Renate Riedemann and Amira, as well as

with two of the label’s founders: Lukas deBeer and Helmut himself.Helmut started the label with Lukas and

Daniel Steenkamp to “stop the slavery to themarket”.After 17 years of producing for other art-

ists,Helmut says itwas time toput outmusic“we enjoy and believe in”.With this in mind, Helmut will also be

launching his first proper solo release underthe name Calev soon.While Helmut has put out singles and ex-

perimental music in the past, his name ismore oftenassociatedwithhisworkas apro-ducer, particularly in the gospel industry.

This time round he is taking a very differ-ent approach and says listeners can expectmusic akin to the likes of Coldplay.He hopes to introduce Calev and his band

members (Lukas, Sven Blumer and IwanKemp) aroundApril orMay, but fornowhe’sworking on singles for his other four artists.“Fall of Rome” is already playing onSouth

African radio stations and is available fordownload on iTunes.Cari will be back in Cape Town in May to

promote her songs.V For more information about Cari visit the CariQuoye-serMusic page on Facebook. For more on StoneBear& Mayor Records visit www.stonebearmayor.com.

Womanseekingparentsafter 28yearsCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Years after being separated from her par-ents, she has finally decided to piece to-

gether the puzzle of her life.Berenice Henkeman (née Brits), a 28-

year-old woman who lives in Bridgetown,Athlone says she wants to find her parentsafter all these years to rid herself of the un-certainty she has had to deal with all herlife.

“I have no idea who my parents are andI also have no idea where they live. I grewup in an orphanage and that is the only fam-ily I know,” Henkeman says.

Growing up without her siblings was alsotough, although she has contact with oneof her two brothers, who was also in fostercare.

“I know I have another brother as well,but I have no idea where he is. The uncer-tainty is really taking a toll on me after allthese years and I just want to find out whoand where my family is, because I do noteven know if I’m passing right by a familymember when walking outside,” she says.

Henkeman, who has two children aged 15months and eight years, says she alsowants her children to meet her family.

“My daughter has already asked meabout where my parents are and I do nothave answers for her and this really breaksme. I want them growing up knowing whotheir family is. My son is also going to startasking questions one day and I do not wantto be uncertain until that time,” she says.

She has started her search, but says it has“been a struggle so far”.

The names of her parents – Jennifer Britsand Fuad Davids – were given to her at theorphanage before she left the home at age20.

“I was taken to the orphanage when I wasa baby and now they need to locate the so-cial worker who took me there because sheis the only one who knew where my parentslived. If I do not have the information of thesocial worker this is going to be an evenlonger process,” she says.

Henkeman says she has been left withmany questions and feels “it should stopnow. I have had enough of not knowing.”

“I do not even know if Berenice is my realname, because I didn’t have a birth certifi-cate. All I know is I was born at GrooteSchuur and the orphanage went to home af-fairs to help me obtain my identity docu-ment.”

Although she says she does not knowhow to feel about eventually being reunitedwith her parents, she is determined to findthem.

“I want my children to grow up knowingthem. And I also want to finally meet themand know who they are. I do not even knowif they are still alive but I just need to knowand make peace with finally getting someanswers,” she says.V If you are able to help Henkeman in locating herfamily, email her on britsberenice@gmail.com.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

Ignoring debtwill not makeit go awayDebt has become a huge problem in South Africa, especiallywith the interest hike andunemployment – it is estimated thatover 9m South Africans are over-indebted.

It has been reported that half of South Africa’s workforceis currently struggling with debt repayments, with a stagger-ing 6000 vehicles and 2000 homes being repossessed monthly.

25 000 people are in danger of losing their homes. And don’teven mention looming retrenchment and unemployment.

This is an alarming state of affairs as we are entering 2016.What is even more worrying is that we live in a culture in

which consumers think that ignoring the issue will make itdisappear. The reality is that it will only lead to undesiredresults, such as judgements and an unnecessary bureau list-ing.

The question is, if you find yourself in debt, what optionsdo you have to rectify your situation and how can you movecloser to obtaining financial freedom?

Your first step is recognising the signs that you are in debt:don’t be in denial and accept that you need help.

Examples of behaviours are regular short-term loans, pawnshop visits, using credit cards to buy basic necessities likefood or even using your credit cards to repay your short-termloans.

Your immediate solution would be to approach your creditprovider – be honest, transparent and discuss restructuringyourdebt repayment plan.Most importantly, livewithinyourmeans and budget. Eat at home, not restaurants, reducewasteful expenditure on luxury items and even downgradeyour car, house or accommodation.

If this fails, you may need to seek professional help beforelegal action is taken against you.

The secondoption to consider is sequestration.This iswhenyour liabilities exceed your assets. In other words, when yourdebt exceeds the money coming in.

When this is the case you are deemed insolvent. Once thishappens, the court can sell your assets (your home, car andpersonal effects) to repay all your liabilities and debt.

The third option is administration. This is a process inwhich you hand all your financial affairs to an administrator,who will consolidate all your debt, for a fee, and repay yourcredit providers on your behalf. The credit providers receivedebt repayment on your behalf.

There is nothing more powerful than educating yourselfand selecting the right option for you. Debt places an enor-mous amount of stress on the individual and affects every ar-ea of your life.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, an admitted advocatewith expertise in commercial law.

Use your vote as abargaining toolAllow me this opportunity toexpress my frustration with theslow pace of major development inareas such as Eastridge, BeaconValley, Tafelsig and other poorercoloured communities on the CapeFlats and in Atlantis and Mamre.

It is becoming clear to me andmany other people that we are theforgotten ones, the voting fodder.

We have to wait patiently andpray for prosperity to tricklethrough to our areas. A play parkhere and there and we have to begrateful and shut up. Our streetsare being swept and cleanedwhenever the responsible personfeels like it and at intervals quitefar and wide apart.

Over the last few years, cablethieves have stolen just aboutevery Telkom cable in these areas.Telkom staff took a radical decisionnot to replace cables, which undernormal circumstances would seemto be a rational decision to makeand I do understand this.

Why should law-abiding citizensand those who supported Telkomover many years be punished? Ihave not seen Telkom aggressively

chasing after these cable thieves. Iam also yet to see Telkom runninga high-impact campaign in areaswhere this problem has reachedcritical levels. I did, however, seeTelkom rolling out fibre technologyin some of the most affluent areasin our country, including Constan-tia, Bishopscourt, Camps Bay andSandton.

Gang violence has plagued manyparts of the Cape Flats for manymonths now. Why should ourpeople get used to the idea of livingin fear and accept that gangculture is part of our lives? Wedeserve better than this.

Reality is that many of ourpeople are suffering, struggling tomake ends meet and living a life ofdespondency.

As a coloured person living onthe Cape Flats, I am calling onevery potential voter to use theupcoming municipal election as abargaining tool in an effort to seereal development. Use your cell-phones and make video recordingsof every public meeting beingaddressed by potential wardcouncillors lobbying for your votes.

Ensure that you have hardevidence of all promises, which youcan hold against them in the eventof them winning in your ward. Wecan simply not afford to give awayour votes anymore. I certainlyhave no issue with people beingblindly loyal to their politicalparties, however, at which point doyou become loyal to your ownfamily and your own community?

These elected officials work forus and not the other way around.We need to hold them thoroughlyaccountable.

Your vote is as good as cash! Youwouldn’t overpay for a product atone store when you can buy it atanother store for way less money.Why would you continue voting fora councillor or a party that contin-ues to make promises and constant-ly fails to deliver?

If your current councillor failedto keep your streets clean, failed tobeautify your area, failed to holdregular meetings, failed to providedecent play parks for the children,failed to assist with your municipalmatters, then do not vote for thatsame person or his party. If yourchildren cannot play outside due togang violence and unsafe parks,vote out your councillor and votein a new person.

Let your councillor work andwork hard for that lucrativepackage they earn.

Claiming UIF is‘controlled chaos’On 4 December last year I went toregister to claim UIF benefits afterworking for one company for 16 years. Igot there at 06:00 and joined the queueoutside the locked offices, as they open at07:30, and then you have a very goodchance of being attended to on the sameday, as they turn everyone away at 15:30.

After many visits to the offices, by 25January my papers were all in order andall could be registered and accepted bythe UIF department. I was told on thatday by the consultant that in ten workingdays I would receive payment. As shehad requested my bank details to com-plete a form, which she kept, I was underthe impression that on 8 February theywould deposit the money into my ac-count.

At no given time did any one of theconsultants ever tell me I must come into sign first. On 11 February I phoned toquery the payment. I was told: “Yourmoney is available, but you did not comein to sign.” So when should I have goneto sign? How would I know to go in andsign? I was told I could go in the nextday (Friday) to sign, they would attend toit Monday and by Wednesday it would beavailable.

I am taken aback by the lack ofcommunication. The system is controlledchaos. If I did not query this, wherewould the money go? These are employedpeople at a government department thereto assist the unemployed.

WP disabled golfers win trophyWestern Province’s golfers

proved yet again that golfis played on grass, not pa-

per, as the four bankers and 17-year-old rookie Ignation Douriessealed a hat trick of victories in theHollard Provincial Challenge ofthe South African Disabled GolfAssociation (SADGA) on Sunday.Over 36 holes of rousing shot

making and spirited competition,WP rallied to triumph with 11.5points, defeating defending cham-pionsRest ofCountry (ROC)by twopoints. Gauteng finished a closethird with nine points.The competition was hosted by

ReichmansCapital at ZwartkopCountry Club.There were lots of doubting

Thomases who didn’t believe thatDouries would keep pace with deafplayer Ryan Lotz and the experi-enced leg amputees Morne Cronje,Riaan Spreeth and Trevor Reich.Douries collected two points for

WP in the first round and sur-prisedwith unexpected determina-tion at the closing hole in the finalround.Standing on the 18th tee, Douries

was one down toVirgil Foster fromGauteng and all square with NicoWentzel fromROC after the formerNedbank SA Disabled Open cham-pion won the 17th hole.“It was very, very tight at the

end, but Douries handled the pres-sure like a real pro,” says proud

WP skipper Pieter Verwey.“We had 10 points in hand, but

ROCwas on 9.5 points andGautenghad 8.5 points.Dourieshad tohalveagainst Foster and beat Wentzel towin the Provincial Challenge forus. It was touch and go, but Igna-tion was like a little terrier thatjust wouldn’t let go.“Experience is always great, but

there is a huge case to be made foryouthful exuberance, becauseDou-ries really did himself as well asWP and the SADGA developmentinitiative – the first swing pro-gramme – very proud.”Douries and Lotz both collected

three points for WP, Spreethamassed two points and Cronjewon theMost Valuable Player hon-our for the champion with 3.5points.“Reich didn’t contribute any

points this year, but the teamawarded him a gold star for inspir-ing everyone else to greatness,”says Verwey.

VOBwould count themselvesun-lucky to lose 7-4 to Athlone in alocal baseball league game atChukker Road on Saturday.VOB out-hit Athlone 6-4 and

could not take advantage of thetwelve walks conceded by Athlo-ne’s pitching.Both teams made two errors,

with the A’s defence securing acrucial double play.Grant Emmanuel (2 for 4) and

Jared Heynes (3 for 4) wereVOB’s top hitters.Athlone’s cause was helped

with two runs batted in each byRiyaad Moosa, Dillian Danielsand Mathew Diedericks.Grant Robertson (7) and Jason

Theys (2) shared the pitching du-ties for VOB, as did Alistair Vea-le (4) and Lee Marks (5) for theA’s.

Westridge scalp BellvilleWestridge Yankees claimed

another top scalpwhen they beat

Bellville 6-1 at Stephen Reagansports ground on Saturday.Bellville, without six of their

national players, found thepitch-ing of Jayson Ripepi a toughproposition and could only man-age one run in the ninth inning.Ripepi threw 8.2 innings be-

fore being replaced by brotherKyle, who got the last out.Jude de Gee batted 2 for 4 for

the winners.

Giants bomb BattswoodA dominant pitching perform-

ance by Kurt Pretorious help setup Maitland Giants’ 15-0 demoli-tion of Battswood.Pretorious allowed three hits

and struck out five in the five-in-nings game.Battswood’s pitching of Aneeq

Hendricks and Nelson Mapikacould not tame the Maitland hit-ting.

Bothasig see off CrusadersEven with five of their players

away on national team duty,

Bothasig still maintained theirlead at the top of the log with a12-1 victory over Grassy ParkCrusaders on Saturday.Crusaders struggled to come to

grips with the pitching of LucasSteinlein from Germany. Theyonly managed to secure threehits and one run in his five-in-ning stint on the mound. He wasreplaced byKeenanClark for thelast two innings and Crusaderscould only manage one hit.Bothasig, however, took ad-

vantage of Cameron Fortuin inhis four innings on the mound.Fortuin conceded seven hits,three walks, three strike outsand nine runs. He was replacedby Ashwin Kleintjies for the lasttwo innings. Kleintjies gave upthree hits and two walks. Cru-saders made four errors.Bothasig’s best hitters were

Duane Feldsman, Nicholas Ea-gles and Steinlein.V This weekend’s fixtures: Crusaders vAthlone, Silvertree v Westridge, VOB vBellville and Bothasig v Durbanville.

Grassy Park United have notched up theireight victory of the season following theiraway triumph against Ikapa Sporting in aSafa Western Cape regional ABC MotsepeLeague encounter at the Symphony Parksports complex this weekend.The 1-0 win, much to the delight of their
