man se Bybel).

Ongeveer 10:00 en vermoedelik

uur lank in die diepsee aan die boot

vasklou.VolgensDeWithetdieboot

Sexual crimes rife in

Helderberg

DALEEN FOUCH

Although crime statistics for the Helder-

berg indicate that sexual crimes have de-

creased, organisations working with vic-

tims of sexual crimes say that in reality

thesituationismuchworsethanreflected

in police statistics.

TheMinister of Police,NathiMthethwa re-

leased the crime statistics on Thursday 19

September. These crime statistics are re-

leased every year and represent the number

of crimes committed from April to March.

The number of sexual crimes reported to

theStrand,GordonsBay,SomersetWestand

Macassar police precincts has dropped, but

increased slightly in the Lwandle police pre-

cinct.

Ada Buys, manager of Helderberg Patch,

a non-profit organisation supporting chil-

dren who have been sexually abused, says

that many more sexual crimes occur than

those reflected in police statistics, because

not all sexual crimes

are reported to the

SAPS.

According to police

statistics, 21 sexual

crimes were reported

to the Somerset West

police precinct

(which includes Sir

Lowrys Pass). But according to Patch

records, 68 victims of sexual crimes were

treated by Patch in Somerset West and Sir

Lowrys Pass within the same time-frame.

Buys points out that the Patch numbers only

reflect crimes against children and do not in-

clude sexual crimes against adults.

InLwandle,NomzamoandZola114victims

of sexual crimes were treated by Patch, com-

pared to the 93 sexual crimes reported at the

Lwandle police district.

Reinette Evans, director of Helderberg

RapeCrisis, saysRapeCrisis seesmanymore

sexual crime victims than those indicated in

the police statistics. She says victims do not

report sexual crimes in order to avoid the ex-

posure of a court case. Evans says only one

in every 35 sexual crimes is reported to the

police.

Among the reasons listed by Evans are the

fear of having to face the offender in court.

She says sometimes family members are in-

volved, which can also discourage a person

from reporting the crime to the police.

Lieutenant Colonel Andr Traut, spokes-

person for provincial police, says theHelder-

bergarea is servicedbytheKhayelitshaFam-

ily Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Of-

fences (FCS)Unit, adding there are sufficient

membersat theunit to investigate the crimes

within their mandate.

The latest crime statistics show that prop-

erty crime in theStrandhas increaseddrasti-

cally,with913 reportedburglariesat residen-

tial areas fromApril 2012 toMarch 2013, com-

pared to 743 cases reported from April 2011

to March in 2012.

LtCol ShaunvanWyk, station commander

of the Strand police station, says property

crime in the Strand is mostly connected to

thedrugprobleminthearea.Heexplainsthat

people who are dependent on drugs often

commit crimes in desperation.He added that

the high number of unemployed people also

plays a role in property crime.

Property crime in Gordons Bay has de-

creased in all sections, with a drop from 488

burglaries in residential areas from April

2011 to March 2013, to

379 cases from April

2012 to March 2013.

For the period April

2012 to March 2013,

there was a total of 38

murders in the Lwan-

dle police precinct, a

drop from the 48 mur-

ders reported from April 2011 to March 2012.

Station commander at the Lwandle Police

Station,LtColSiwiweSometsewu saysmany

murders were linked to robberies and vigi-

lante retaliation.

He says the stations active attempt to curb

robberies and vigilante behaviour contribu-

ted to the downward trend in murders.

Sometsewu says there was a spike in gang

violence late last year and early this year, es-

pecially in schools. This is seen as a factor

contributingto incidentsofmurder,common

assaultandassaultwith intentiontodogriev-

ous bodily harm.

According toAfrica Check, a non-profit or-

ganisation which promotes accuracy in pub-

licdebate, an increase indrug- relatedcrimes

and driving under the influence indicates

intensified police activity, rather than an

increase in the number of such crimes.

Drug-related crimes increased in all the

areas serviced byHelderberg police stations,

except for a slight decrease at the Gordons

Bay police precinct.

She says victims often do

not report crime to avoid

the exposure of a court

case.

An elderly woman (92) is

still recuperating after she

wasattackedinherhomein

Helderberg Village last

week.

According to a police re-

port, the incidenthappenedat

15:30 on Thursday 19 Septem-

berwhen a youngman gained

entry to thewomans homeby

breaking the glass of the patio

door at the back of the house.

The intruder found the

woman in the main bedroom

wherehe overpoweredandat-

tacked her.

According to the police, the

man assaulted the woman by

hitting her over the back of

her head with a heavy object.

It is alleged he then fled the

of Helderberg Village con-

firmed the incident and said

thewoman had to be hospital-

ised.

The intruder robbedher of

valuables like her laptop, cell-

phone, money and jewellery

before running away, said

Nielsen.

He added that the victim

wasabletoalert theVillagese-

curity on the premises by

pressingthepanicbutton.She

was also able to provide an ac-

curate description of her at-

tacker.

Swift reaction by various

roleplayers resulted in a man

closely fitting the description

being apprehended and taken

into police custody the same

day.

However, he was released

after questioning as he could

not be linked to the crime. Ac-

cording to Nielsen it is be-

lieved that the suspect was an

employee of a building con-

tractor working at a nearby

site.

CaptainAnnekevanderVy-

ver, Khayelitsha SAPS Clus-

ter Commander, says that a

case of house robbery is being

investigated and that no ar-

Belinda Jackson, programbestuurder van

en Victoriastraat te sluit en sy het in Julie

goedkeuring by die Stad Kaapstad gekry vir

stemming verkry vir die sluit van strate vir

optredes en het Dinsdag die permit by haar

gehad, soosdeurdieStadvereis. Ons isbaie

teleurgestel, maar ten spyte van die uitda-

gings was die erfenisvieringe n groot suk-

ses.

Nico de Kock, hoofinspekteur van ver-

keersdienste in Kaapstad se Oos-distrik, s

hoewel sy departement die aansoek ontvang

het, het hy nooit die permit ontvang nie en

is die gebeure nie op die kalender gemerk

nie.

Prof. Harold Herman, voorsitter van die

Huis Soeterus nouhuis vanonrusen trane

Op 23 Mei het die Distrikspos n

brief gepubliseer (Dankie aan

Huis Soeterus se hoof vir haar

deernis), wat ek geskryf het om

dankie te s aan die hoof van Huis

Soeterus, mev. E. Rautenbach, vir

haar deernis en omgee. Sy het op

Moedersdag vir elke inwoner n

cupcakemet nmooikaartjie gegee

wat die resep tot n gelukkige te-

huis bevat.

Radio Helderberg was so ben-

druk dat mev. Rautenbach n rui-

ker blomme van hulle gekry het.

Mymawasself 25 jaar gelukkige

inwoner van Huis Soeterus en het

gesterf op 15 Maart 2013. Sy het

Huis Soeterus n veilige en geluk-

kige huis genoem.

Op 1 Maart 2013 is n hoogs ge-

kwalifiseerde verpleegsuster

deurdie beheerraadaangestel.Dit

was beslis n foutiewe aanstelling,

die begin van trauma, ongelukkig-

heid en vrees vir die inwoners.

My eerste skrywe aanmev. Bos-

hoff, direkteur van die ACVVwas

op 12April 2013waarin ek haar in-

gelig het oor die klagtes en vrese

van die inwoners.

Sy het belowe om onmiddellik

die saak te ondersoek. Nodeloos

om te s dit is vandag 6 September

en sake het geensins verbeter.

Intussen bly die inwoners ge-

traumatiseerd en onseker.

Mev. Rautenbach en mev. Nel,

hoof en administratiewe beampte

sename is beswadder deur leuens.

Mev. Rautenbach het so baie

deur die jare gedoen om fondse vir

die tehuis in te samel. Die laaste

was toe sy hoenderpastei gebak

het. Self moes ek aanskou toe sy

haar kantoor ontruim en inwo-

ners huilend buite staan toe sy uit

die terrein ry.

Het hulle n idee hoe dit voel as

n huilende bejaarde vir jou te vra

Hoekom doen hulle dit aan ons?

Die twee steunpilare sal terug-

kom, want dit is wat die inwoners

verlang.

Is SAbecoming thedumpinggroundofpoorproduce?

When I came to South Africa from

Europe, some30yearsago, Inoticed

that the prices of imported goods

wereoftencheaper thanlocallypro-

duced goods, so I started enquiring

about cost margins and benefit cal-

culating.

Most people were astonished by

my questions and the general an-

swer I receivedwas that businesses

dont calculate and put the highest

mark-ups on items for the biggest

benefit.

Then if the item doesnt sell, they

lower the price until it sells well. If

the product doesnt give shop own-

ers a big benefit, they take it off the

market.

Isnt that a primitive approach?

It seems that not much has

changed since I arrived here 30

years ago.

I once read there is nomarket for

hybridorelectriccarsinSouthAfri-

ca. What nonsense!

Its simple if you dont import or

produce a product there will be no

market for it.

Well the same goes for these hy-

brid cars. But first verify the cost to

support such statement.

When I was in Reunion recently

all our friends there drove hybrid

cars.Theyrenotmuchmoreexpen-

sive than other cars and the in-

creased cost can be recuperated

from the fuel saving. They are also

nice to drive and environmentally

friendly.

UnfortunatelythepricesinSouth

Africa aremuch higher than in Eu-

rope so one can never recuperate

the investment on fuel saving,

which iswhy there is nomarket for

these vehicles. Of course, as long as

the government is thriving on high

fueltaxes,oneshouldnotexpectany

changes.

Thebiggestdifficulty inSouthAf-

rica is the thinking behind selling

any product.

In most other countries, the

thinkingbehindsellingaproduct is

tomake a living out of it for oneself

and for the staff.

In SouthAfrica themind set is to

see how quickly businesses can en-

rich themselves. If it is not quick

enough theyre not interested.

Even if the product is not so good

aslongasitsellsandmakesthebusi-

nessman rich quickly they will try

and sell it.

Thisispooregocentricmentality!

How does the country, business,

staffandgeneralpublicbenefitfrom

it?

This is why SouthAfrica is inun-

datedwithscrap,poormaterials, in-

ferior appliances, bad products and

even bad service and why it is fast

becoming the dumping ground of

poor produce.

Most of those narrow-minded

businesspeoplewillcomplainwhen

shrewd foreign nationals come and

take over their businesses.

The only way this can stop is if

businesses call for governmentpro-

tectiontopromoteanartificialmar-

ket, rather than trying to change

their fossilised minds!

fisherman

drowns

At the time of going to press on

Wednesday afternoon one Strand

boat fishermanhaddrownedandan-

other was missing at sea.

ThemanthatdrownedwasAntho-

nie de Wit (better known as Tone)

and theman still missing is Piet van

As.

The incident happened when the

boat they were fishing in capsized

between3and5nauticalmilesoff the

coast near Kleinmond at 10:00 on

Monday.

This unfortunate and tragic loss

will be deeply mourned by the large

boat fishing family in the Strand

and in fact by all fishermen around

the Cape.

An incident such as this just

proves that no matter how experi-

enced and cautious the skipper of a

boatisanaccidentatseacanhappen.

The skipper of the boat Phillip

Schoeman(53) ,whohasbeenfishing

on boats since he was a young boy

is a well-known as respected boat

captain. The other crew on board

were his son Phillip (junior), Alwyn

du Plooy and Joe Williams all sur-

vivedandwere rescuedby theNSRI.

Fishermen are aware of the dan-

gers facing them every time that

they go to sea, but this profession is

in their blood and is simply some-

thing they must do, no matter how

dangerous.

Whathashappened to

ourpost office system?

A friend from America recently posted

some Catholicpostcards tome.Theydid

not arrive.

He then contacted the post office and

was sent an e-mail simply stating What

I find this typeof servicedeliveryatro-

cious.

I write regularly to a partially blind

friend inDurban. It sometimes takes six

weeks for her to receive my letters.

She in turn sent a letter to her brother

in Ireland and the letter was sent to Tai-

wan!

Thanks to theSomersetWestpolice services for

going that extramile

Iwas filling up ourMercedes at theBPServ-

ice Station on Main Road opposite Virgin

Active on Tuesday evening 20 August,

around 20:00whenmyhusband called to tell

me our Honda had overheated and broken

down on the Macassar off-ramp on the N2,

travelling towards Somerset West.

As he could not contact our mechanic, he

asked if I could come and tow the car home.

On approaching the off-ramp, I noticed

two police vehicles with their blue lights

flashing. My heart skipped more than just

one beat!

To my relief, my husband was standing

under a street-lamp on the side of the road

with one of the officers waiting for me.

As I was somewhat nervous of towing, es-

peciallyatnight, I asked if oneof theofficers

could possibly assist us in towing our car

home.

They all readily agreed and assisted with

fitting the steel tow-rope, escorting us and

steering the Honda home behind my hus-

band and I.

To facilitate towing on Wednesday, we

were planning to leave the car on the road-

side overnight as we have a rather steep

driveway into our garage.

Once again the officers advised against

it informing us that car-theft, especially

this particular model, was on the increase

in our area at present. Many thanks once

again to them for advising and informing

us.

We would like to go on record in express-

ing our sincere gratitude most specifically

towarrant officers Strydom,Hattingh, Ver-

cuil, and constableMichaels. Theywere ex-

tremely helpful, very courteous and all

went more than just that extra mile to help

us.

Keep up the good work.

Copingwith seasonalallergies

Spring is here, andwhile

that means a welcome

end to the winter weath-

er, for many South Afri-

cans it also signals the

beginning of runny nos-

es, itchy eyes and con-

stant sneezing.

According to the South

AfricanAllergy Society, as

many as 2030% of South

Africans suffer from aller-

gic rhinitis, otherwise

known as hay fever.

Over 500 million people

worldwide suffer from hay

fever, with children and

adults 30 to 40 years old, ex-

periencingtheworstsymp-

toms, says Allison Veinings, execu-

tive director of the Self-Medication

Manufacturers Association of South

Africa (SMASA).

Allergies result when the im-

munesystemidentifiesa foreignsub-

stance, such as dust or pollen, incor-

rectly, then classifies it as harmful

and treats it as such, explains Vein-

ings.

Hay fever, in particular, is the re-

sult of outdoor allergens such as pol-

len, and is periodic in nature. Grass

is one of the main triggers of hay fe-

ver in summer, with allergic con-

junctivitis (the allergic inflamma-

tion of the delicate membrane cover-

ing the inner and external part of the

eyelid) being the most common sea-

sonal allergy.More prevalent among

those with asthma, eczema and hay

fever, its symptoms include redness

and excessive watering of the eyes,

swelling of the eyelids and whites of

the eye, and itchiness.

Winter allergies cause similar

symptoms to summer allergies such

as an itchy nose and eyes, sneezing

and watery eyes, and are generally

triggeredby theuseofheatersor fire-

places the mould spores and insect

parts that are often trapped in these

objects are released into the air and

find their way into the nose, setting

off a reaction. Other indoor triggers

are animals and mites.

Following the time line of how

and when irritations start, can high-

light whether someone is a seasonal

allergy sufferer, says Veinings.

The best remedy for

allergies would obvi-

ously be to avoid al-

lergens completely,

however, as this is

notalwayspossible,a

sound knowledge of

self-medication and

responsible self-care

is key for hay fever

sufferers, she con-

cludes.

SMASA, which ad-

vocates responsible

self-care throughout

the year, suggests the

following actions to

maintain a solid self-

care routine during

allergy season:

) Keep a pack of tissues on hand

for days when allergies are at their

worst.

) Use eye drops to relieve itchy,

watery eyes.

) Use an antihistamine to reduce

nasal itching, sneezing and dis-

charge.

) Use a decongestant during win-

ter to clear mucus.

Aswith anyailment or illness, pre-

vention is better than cure. Consult

your local pharmacist, nurse or

health professional for the correct

over-the-counterproducts tomanage

hay fever and other seasonal aller-

gies and schedule an appointment

with your doctor if symptoms per-

sist.
