MATTERRAISED INPARLIAMENT

DAwantsCBD

police station

JAMEY GORDON

T

he DA will be appealing to

Parliament to have a satel-

lite police station estab-

lished in theSomersetWestCBD,

following eight armed robberies

at businesses inMain Road since

January this year.

Marian Shinn, the DAs Parlia-

mentary member for the Helder-

berg, will be raising the matter in

Parliamentassoonasapetitioncur-

rently doing the rounds is finalised.

The DA told the DistrictMail this

week that they are requesting a sat-

ellite police station for theSomerset

West CBD as the existing police sta-

tion clearly does not have suffi-

cient resources available to deal

with the increase in armed robber-

ies in the CBD.

The SomersetWest Police Station

is situated a mere 1,3 km from

where the most recent armed rob-

bery occurred at Truworths in the

Circle Centre in Main Road.

DistrictMail asked the DAwheth-

er a secondpolice station isnecessa-

ry, with the existing police station

situated within two kilometres of

theCBD. Localward councillor Stu-

artPringlerepliedthatthecommu-

nity appears to feel that a satellite

station in the CBD would provide a

localised presence, given that the

SomersetWest police station serves

avastarea, fargreater thanthe2 km

radius from theCBD to the station.

In a statement sent to theDistrict-

Mail onMonday, the DA stated that

the increase inarmedrobberiesand

burglaries in the Somerset West

CBD requires immediate and dras-

tic action by the National Depart-

ment of Police, in particular the fill-

ing of vacancies in the ranks of offi-

cers at the Somerset West Police

Station, but also an increase in the

vehiclesandequipmentavailable to

deal with the vast area covered by

this single station.

When pressed for details, Pringle

was unable to confirm just how

many vacancies they are aware of,

or what the particular resource

shortfalls are, but reiterated that

there are clearly not sufficient re-

sourcesavailable todealwiththe in-

crease in armed robberies in the

CBD or else they would have been

dealt with.

Asked whether a satellite station

would still be deemed necessary if

the resource gaps are closed, Prin-

gle responded that the public ap-

pears to believe that a localised pre-

sence of police, supported by a satel-

litestation,wouldassist inreducing

the incidences which have given

rise to this call.

Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokes-

person for the SomersetWest Police

Station, however said the station is

not experiencing any staff, vehicle

or equipment shortfalls and that the

police have a working strategy in

place to curbarmedrobberies in the

CBD. The strategy will not be re-

vealed to the public, she says, to en-

sure its success.

Like many other organisations,

resourcesarestretched fromtimeto

time. For example, the vehicles be-

come mechanically faulty or staff

take leave. But it does not affect us

when fighting crime and ensuring

that it is addressed, says Jantjies.

John Kleyn, vice-chairperson of

the Somerset West Neighbourhood

Watch,saystheideaofasatellitesta-

tion is not a bad one, but he is con-

cernedwhetherasatellitepolicesta-

tion in the CBD would not deplete

the already insufficient resources.

What will the aim of the satellite

police station be? To be a service

provider or provide a patrolling

function? Obviously there has to be

a logical reason for the request, but

the satellite police station will have

to be manned, says Kleyn.

However, if the satellite police

stationbrings alongwith it extra re-

sources, then the Somerset West

Neighbourhood Watch fully sup-

ports it.

Current police

station clearly does

not have sufficient

resources to deal

with the increase in

armed robberies in

the CBD.

Pupil leavesPVafter dragdebacle

CASSY VAN EEDEN

A matriculant caught in the middle of a

media storm about Parel Vallei High

Schools 40-days celebration opted to

leave the school on Tuesday evening just

before a disciplinary hearing was set to

take place.

The school had charged him with serious

misconduct after comments he allegedly

made to theCapeTimes resulted in an article

on the front page on 1 September headlined

Pupil cries foul after principal rules out

cross-dressing for matric event. The issue

wasalso reportedonlinebyat least five other

media houses, with The Telegraphs online

version headlined South African school

principal bans students from dressing in

drag.

The headmaster of Parel Vallei High

School, David Schenck, claims that his com-

munication on the dress code for 40-days had

been misconstrued.

Thematric pupil had faced possible expul-

sion if found guilty at the disciplinary hear-

ing. Moments before the hearing was to take

place, thepupils attorney informed thepros-

ecutor that he had opted to leave the school.

The pupil retains his registration for the

National Senior Certificate exams and the

school has said he is welcome to write his

exams there should the Department of Edu-

cation confirm thatParelVallei is his official

exam venue.

The saga started in early August, accor-

ding to Schenck, when he was made aware

of amessage thatwasbeingcirculatedbyma-

triculants via WhatsApp and BBM.

Themessage encouraged learners to bring

lots of cling wrap, duct tape, black bags,

heavy duty cable ties, shaving cream, water

balloons and opposite genders uniform to be

changed into at first break. Themessage al-

so stipulated that learners should keep this

away from the matric committee and the

Learner Council as well as anyone else that

would tell.

Schencksaid thathecalled thematriccom-

mittee into his office to address themessage.

The committee told him that they knew

nothingabouttheseplansandthattheywant-

ed a controlled 40-days.

The committee proposed to him that the

learners be allowed to either dress in drag

or as super-heroes.

Schenck says he told the committee that

he would not approve of cross-dressing, be-

cause to dress up in a certainway that could

offend others in the school, to me doesnt

work and Im not prepared to create a situa-

tion where I can cause offence to anyone.

Thats my job as a headmaster; to make sure

everyones rights are protected.

He said that the committee walked away

very happy with my explanation.

Schenck said that the committee took that

message back to the matric body and on the

same day Schenck called a meeting with the

matrics about the 40-days celebration. In

that meeting, the young man that has now

gone to the press raised a question around

immorality. Schenck says the learner had

received information from the committee

that he had used the word immoral in his

meeting with them.

Schenck said he told the learner that he

would not address the matter with him pub-

licly, as theres no privacy in that.

Then thearticle appearedon the frontpage

of the Cape Times, stating that, according to

apupil, theprincipal ofParelValleiHighhad

said cross-dressing was immoral and

against Christianity.

Schenck says that he had used the words

immoral and against Christianity when

he explained to the committee that by cross-

dressing, youll be offending someone else

and thats against Christian values.

On the day of the articles publication, the

learner received notice that hewould be fac-

ing disciplinary actionwith a recommenda-

tionofexpulsion.Under thechargeof serious

misconduct, the pupil was accused of gross

insubordination, an unwarranted personal

attack on the principles, values, dignity, con-

duct and the ability of [the headmaster], an

attempt to embarrass Parel Vallei High, an

attempt to embarrass [the headmaster] and

an attempt to embarrass the governing body

of Parel Vallei High.

The chairperson of the schools disciplina-

ry committee, Paul du Toit, says that when

he reviewed the matter, he decided to draft

a letter to the schools Governing Body for

adisciplinaryhearing, due to the extreme se-

riousness of this transgression.

Presently the matriculant is continuing

with his exams as an individual pupil who

is simply taking his exams on the schools

premises, says Du Toit.

DistrictMail attempted to gain comment

from the pupil, but his family declined to

comment.

Small businesses shockedbysurge in costs

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Small businesses are still coming to terms

with a new daily charge on their electricity

bill that kicked in with the City of Cape

Towns new budget on 1 July.

Small business owners using more than

1 000kwh per month now have to pay for pre-

paid electricity meters to be installed or pay

an additional R22,25 per day. The total number

of small businesses affected across the city is

6 500.

On hermost recent account, Arleen Seyfried,

owner of thePaperbackBookExchange inSom-

erset West, was charged a R712 service fee to-

talledacross 32days whileheractual electrici-

ty usage totalled R177,64.

Questionshavebeenraisedabout theadequa-

cy of theCitys communicationwithbusinesses

on this matter, as many business owners claim

they were not properly informed of the new

charges.

The first comment the Citymade in response

to questions from DistrictMail this week was

that residents have a responsibility to ensure

that they are aware of proposed policy changes

which await their comment / influence.

The questions below were answered by Ern-

est Sonnenberg, Mayoral Committee Member

for Utility Services.

) The City has repeatedly said that it

includedanoticeof the changeon theac-

counts of users inMayandJune.But the

notices dont really warn users about a

cost change. They merely warn users

that they will be moved to small power

user 1 tariff and a domestic tariff on

1 July if they dont have a prepaidmeter

in place. Nowhere is there a mention of

thecost implications.Theuserisalsonot

told where they can gain this informa-

tion.

Does the City think it fairly and ade-

quately communicated the detail in-

volved so that users were properly in-

formed?

A cost implication is implied when the

City states that the user will be moved to

adifferent tariff. Further to this,noticesgiv-

ing details of the availability of documents

providing this information (the pending

changes to theIntegratedDevelopmentPlan

and budget documents) were published in

the daily and community papers at the end

of February and May this year. Customers

were encouraged therein to read the docu-

ments to familiarise themselves with the

changes. The notices placed in the accounts

are limited to 140 characters, so there isnt

space there to provide a comprehensive im-

pact analysis. [These notices were not pub-

lished in theDistrictMail orHelderberg Ga-

zette newspapers- Ed]

)The City has said that the notifica-

tionwasincludedinaccountsinMayand

June.

When would the user have received

theseaccounts,andwhatwouldthemax-

imum notice period therefore have

been?

Approximately six weeks. This provides

sufficient time to make an application for

a prepayment meter if required.

) Users first need to apply to the City for

aprepaidmeter tobe installed, and theCity

thenneeds to provide themwith a cost quo-

tation to be agreed to. The City gives itself

10working days to do this (or two calendar

weeks). The user then has to pay the City

for themeter to be installed and has to also

pay an electrician to do the preparation

work so that a Certificate of Compliance

can be submitted to the city. Only then

will the city install a prepaidmeter, and

it gives itself 15 days in which to do so.

DoestheCitythinkthatusersweregiv-

en enough time for this lengthy process

when they were given notification on

their accounts in May and June?

Because of the time frames involved, any

customerwho applied for a prepaymentme-

ter would have been considered as already

having one installed.

)Howis theCitydealingwithqueries,

complaintsandissuesonthismatter?We

have heard talk of a call centre. How

must users engage the city if they have

queries?

Residents can contact the call centre on

0860 103 089, or they can visit theCitysweb-

site for information on the tariff schedule:

http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/elec-

tricity/Elec%20tariffs%20201415/Sched-

ule%20of%20Consumptive%20Tariffs.pdf

) ThecityhasappliedatariffofR22,25

per day, calculated against 24 days a

month,onbusinessusers. Is thisapplica-

ble to residential consumers too?

Thistariffonlyappliestothosebusinesses

whose consumption exceeds 1 000 kWh a

month, and businesses that use less than

this but do not have a prepaid meter in-

stalled. Installation of a prepaid meter will

void this charge in these cases.

Itdoesnotapply toresidentialconsumers.

The service charge is calculated bymulti-

plying the daily charge by the number of

days in the billing period.

)Why exactly did the City decide to

implement this tariff?

Neither tariff to which customers were

movedarenewtariffs, i.e. both theDomestic

and the Small Power User 1 tariff are exist-

ing tariffs. The City simply took a policy de-

cision to limit the credit risk inherently at-

tached to subsidised tariffs throughmaking

those tariffs only available via prepayment

meter.

Who isStephenLeppan?

DALEEN FOUCH

Outspoken activist and resi-

dent of Somerset West, Ste-

phen Leppan, organised an

anti-crime march in Somer-

set Wests Main Road last

month. The DistrictMail

posed somequestions tohim

to find out more about the

man behind the plan.

)WhoisStephenLeppan?

What do you do for a living

and for how long have you

lived in Somerset West?

I was born in Zimbabwe and

immigrated to South Africa in

the early 80s. I havebeena res-

ident of the Helderberg since

1989. I am a financial adviser,

an author, and a financial re-

porter that has exposed many

investment schemes and

worked with Carte Blanche. I

was instrumental in exposing

property syndicates in theHel-

derberg. I was also on radio, talking

about financial topics, for about

three years. I am a passionate com-

munity builder.

)Whydid you decide to step in-

to the public life and take a stance

against crime?

I didnot decide tomove intopublic

life at all. I have always had a high

level of involvement in the commu-

nity through journalism. I got tired

of belonging to many other commu-

nity Facebook groups where people

were constantly downing the police

and government and blaming every-

thingaroundthemforthestateofour

town. So I started a Facebook group

one night for the friendly people of

SomersetWest; by thenext Saturday

wehad 1 000members in Somerset 1.

After serving in political circles and

churches and discussing problems

but not doing anything, I decided we

could do something as a community

without red tape.

We have done so many projects

since December 2013 andmade huge

differences in peoples lives. Somer-

set 1 has made a huge impact and

showedpeoplewhat is possiblewith-

out being organised. That is why we

are controversial.

) What is your view on the re-

cent increase in crime in Somer-

set West?

My personal view is that we have

a slack community. We are con-

cerned about walling ourselves in

andnotgetting involved inanyof the

rate initiatives to curbcrime inSom-

erset West. For example, I am told

there are about 70 000 residents in

Somerset West, of which I believe

about 2 300 belong to Helderberg

Crime Watch (HCW), and about 300

active patrollers are in the Somerset

West Neighbourhood Watch (NW),

which is totally unacceptable.

We cannot rely on SAPS as they

have limited resources, which is a

national budget problem. Somerset

West is not the only town being tar-

geted by criminals. This problem is

in the whole Western Cape and

comes from highly organised crime

syndicates with excellent intelli-

gence.

) In the recent past you have

made several bold statements on

Facebook, and you are a self-con-

fessed stirrer. You may be seen

as a controversial figure. Do

you agree with this view?

I believe in speaking out and

notremainingsilent.Oneshould

freely and without fear be able

to comment on and question is-

sues in the community or in the

world at large. If that makes me

controversial, it was never in-

tended to be. However, there is

asaying: the truthhurtsandpeo-

ple get angry when they see the

truth and go into denial. Denial

provokes anger. However, when

this phase is over, acceptance

comes. Others on social media

are brave behind fake profiles

making chirps and attacks.

When one speaks out, it makes

one vulnerable to be attacked by

people doing nothing.

) You previously stated on

the record that the current

Somerset West Community

Policing Forum (CPF) is not

functioningasitshould.What

do you believe needs to be done in

orderfortheCPFtobecomeafully

functioning body?

Mymain problem with the CPF is

the flow of information to the public.

One should have the right to know

who the suspects are in our area.

Informationshouldbe freelyavail-

able to the public and I am actively

pursuing the freedomof information

that affects our community. I have

met huge resistance from persona-

lities with regard to sharing infor-

mation. I do believe that this needs

to be done in a responsible way and

IampleasedtoannouncethatSomer-

set 1 will be a member of the CPF

shortly. I want the Somerset 1 com-

munity to work within the guide-

linesof theCPFandbeanactivepart-

ner with accountability in reporting

crime and suspicious behaviour.

) Do you plan on getting in-

volvedwith theCPFand if so,how

do you plan to address crime in

Somerset West?

As mentioned, Somerset 1 applied

to be a member on the CPF. I plan

on assisting the Somerset West

Neighbourhood Watch and HCW in

doubling its membership.

southern border of the farm. The

CityofCapeTownwillnowbuythe

small piece of land where the wall

will be built and register it as a ser-

vitude. The wall will be able to

withstand a one in 10-year flood.

There are currently two long-

termproposals to prevent flooding

in the urban areas of Somerset

WestandStrandalongtheLourens

River. The first option is to build

a2 500 mbypasscanal thatwill run

the length of the Lourens River

with a width of 8 m and a depth of

5 m. The cost of an open canal is

R330 million, while the preferred

option, a closed canal, will cost

about R400 million. The alterna-

tive is to build three dams: one at

Hathersage at R608 mil-

lion; another at Radloff

Park at R628 million, and

a third in the mountains

behindLourensfordWine

Estate for R625 million.

For the second option to

be viable, all three dams

will have to be construct-

ed.

The retention pond in Bizweni is nearing

completion and will help prevent flooding

in the areas south of Main Road.

The berm at Radloff Park is complete and protects neighbouring houses

from a one in 50year flood. Additional parking with access for disa

bled people will be built for people who would like to reach the river

side. PHOTOS: DALEEN FOUCH

Withhold taxesuntil governmentaddresses the crimeproblem

protection against crimes by

SAPS! It is the SA governments

does not supply jobs. Citizens and

investors to the country do.

Somerset West does not have

Its the local small businesses of

It is an absolute disgrace that

also in failing to support the local

As businesses close due to

crime, more and more people will

become unemployed which will

Lastweeksapologieswereover the top

Interesting couple of apologies in

District Mail on 4 September. I

thought that both were over the

top.

Advocate Andrew Kitshoff [let-

ter, Apologise properly for da-

maging news article, District-

Mail, 4 September 2014] must real-

ise that as a community, we are all

very jittery about the levels, na-

ture and trends in crime which

have hit the Helderberg and the

District Mail article, whilst per-

haps factually incorrect, reflected

the impression most of us have at

the moment.

If the excuse by the District

Mail was vague, meaningless,

platitudinous and lame, then the

Strand Neighbourhood Watch re-

ply was emotional, vitriolic and

plainly written by a jolly good ad-

vocate!

On the other hand, District

Mails responsewas correct to cas-

tigate the journalist, butvergedon

cringing bywayof an apology.But

perhaps it was done on legal ad-

vice.

We all realise the proven impor-

tance of neighbourhood watches

and they are to be congratulated

andencouraged,buthavingvolun-

teered for the task they should ac-

cept that they will have limita-

tions to the extent that they help

crime prevention but are not the

panacea.

Be all of that as it may, hard hit-

ting, shocking journalism from

theDistrictMail is bothrefreshing

and necessary during these troub-

ledtimesandIforonewouldprefer

that our community newspaper

does not try to be all things to all

men.

Small

businesses

deservebetter

Certain small businesses in Cape

Town that had not yet switched to

a prepaid electricity metre had a

rude awakening in July when the

City of Cape Town withdrew its

small business subsidies for elec-

tricity users.

This resulted in a R22 service

charge per day an amount that

quickly adds up in a month.

The City claims that this move

aims to remove the credit risk asso-

ciated with this tariff as the City is

notrecoveringthe full costof theser-

vice.

Small businesses now need to in-

stall prepaid meters at their own

cost or have the service charges

stack up each day.

The Citys communication has

beenpatchy.While it informedbusi-

nesses through a small-print notice

at the bottom of electricity bills, and

also placed advertisements in cer-

tain newspapers, Julys electricity

bill shocked numerous small busi-

ness owners across the City.

Small businesses have been

scrambling around for information

tounderstandthenewsystem.Clari-

ty is only just starting to emerge.

As drivers of the South African

economy, the small business sector

can do without the vexatious dis-

traction of clumsily-managed red

tape not tomention the unplanned

expenditure of a pre-paid meter just

to make the charges stop.

Ourbusinessownersneedtobere-

spected and nurtured and govern-

mentneeds to get onboardwith this.

Fighting crime requiresa littlebit of effort fromall of us

Id like to thank DistrictMail for

thearticle, Residents vow toweld

crime gateway shut (4 Septem-

ber). The safety of my own family,

as well as that of our fellow resi-

dents, is on my mind each day.

As ordinary residents we stand

little chance, with an under-re-

sourced police force and public

prosecutors who appease politi-

cians by being light on crime.

The result is criminals who are

morebrazen,comfortableandcon-

fident thanever.Theyhave theup-

per hand, as they cant be caught,

nor prosecuted.

This leaves us ordinary people

to dowhatwe canand fend for our-

selves. I believe that if each one of

usmakesabit of effort,wecanpos-

sibly prevent our wives and chil-

dren from becoming victims of

someof thebrutal crimes that take

place. I hope Metrorail will make

an effort to keep the gate locked.

I amasatisfiedGordonsBayPicknPay customer

In light of the recent disparaging re-

marksmade towards (and criticism

levelled at) the Pick n Pay Gordons

Baystore, Id liketooffermycompli-

ments to this amazing establish-

ment. Apparently there have been

a fewindividualspostingsomerath-

er damaging and malicious com-

ments regarding this store on local

social media pages the past few

weeks.

My experiences with Pick n Pay

Gordons Bay differsmarkedly and,

in fact, I cannot praise this team

highly enough. The staff members

of this store have been unfailingly,

and without exception, extremely

attentive and considerate. When-

ever I visit, Im guaranteed of a re-

warding and uplifting encounter.

Seven years ago when we moved to

Gordons Bay from Stellenbosch,

someof the first friends Imadewere

the staff of this sterling store!

From the management, to the

cashiers, to the packers and people

on the floor, each has become a va-

lued and trusted friend over the

years. Their helpful, warm and effi-

cient approach has made shopping

there a dream and I look forward to

ourweeklychatsandcatchingupon

all the Pick n Pay family news!

OntheveryrareoccasionthatIve

ever had a query or a problem, the

managershavedone theirutmost to

sort it out speedily, professionally

and kindly. The store is neat, clean

and well stocked, while the service

is fast, friendly and polished.

But the most important motiva-

ting factor that has me choosing

Pick n Pay over all the other compe-

tition to domy groceries (and spend

my hard earned rands), is without

doubt the people who work there

they always go the extramilewith

a smile! Thank you from an ex-

tremely satisfied shopper, a proud

Gordons Bay resident and a life-

long friend!

adviser actually increased by

0,1% from 0,75% to 0,85%.

So I havenotwasted toomuch

time on documenting my value

proposition, but I have given

some thought to what I get paid

for by my clients. It is not about picking

the best managers, funds or solutions or

generating the highest returns.

I get paid for taking responsibility and

most importantly, for trust. The problem

is how do you put a price on trust and re-

sponsibility? I would argue that in this

worldofskulduggerytruetrustandrespon-

sibility are priceless commodities, which

are very scarce. Think about whom you

trust to take responsibility for clearing

your in-tray if youwereno longerhereand

be prepared to pay for that.
