PHOTO: TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN MANENBERG Turning tide on gangs TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN @LeeLaVidaLoca P olice will leave no stone unturned as they implement a new plan of action to curb the escalating gang violence in Manenberg. Residents have reported more than 200 gunshots being fired during the past three weeks. After analysing calls, Manenberg Police Station commander Brigadier Andre van Dyk says the total number of shots reported means that more than three shots are being fired daily. Van Dyk says the current gang situation is intensifying and is as a result of the gang war between the Hard Livings and three oth- er gangs in the community. These gangs are the Dixie Boys, Ghettos and Clever Kids. “There is no indication at this stage that the gang incidents and violence will stop. Our deployments are under pressure and we rely on information from the public to help us confiscate firearms and drugs,” says Van Dyk. “We need to disarm the criminal elements in the community.” Manenberg Community Police Forum spokesperson Kadar Jacobs says a variety of public meetings have been scheduled to ad- dress the ongoing violence and neighbour- hood watches are working closely with po- lice to combat crime. “As residents we have a responsibility. We can’t just sit back and expect the police to do all the work. We need to take ownership for our streets and facilities and show the criminal elements and gangsters that we will not allow them to keep us hostage,” he says. “We have arranged a number of meetings and will decide as a community what our plan of action will be. We are also asking peo- ple to join the neighbourhood watches.” This weekend alone combined operations in Manenberg saw officers arrest 22 men for attempted murder, the youngest being 15 and 16 years old. In addition, officers also confiscated four illegal firearms, but Van Dyk says hardly any of the successes officers have recently had has been as a result of community in- put. Officers are currently being deployed to patrol the streets in Army formation and are heavily armed to create a strong police pres- ence and help residents feel more at ease. Clamping down on spaza shop owners ille- gally selling fireworks and ensuring they have the relevant permits to sell fireworks will be one of the main focus points for police in the next few weeks. “I am officially warning all spaza shops and people illegally selling and setting off fireworks that this will not be tolerated. We are going to be conducting searches and ar- resting all those who do not comply.” Another priority for police will be ensur- ing that the community is safe for teachers and pupils to return to schools this week with joint operations. “We have deployed maximum manpower and are trying to stabilise the situation to create an environment where learning can take place. “It is our responsibility.” Provincial education department spokes- person Jessica Shelver says the department will continue to work closely with the police to monitor violence in the area when schools re-open on Wednesday. “Pupils are mainly at risk while travelling to and from schools. Police have promised greater visibility this week,” she says.

Pipes under microscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the Tobacco

Control Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking of ciga-

rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity on hookah pipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, it was found that 39% of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmokedhookahpipeswent on to smoke ciga-rettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular inCape Town, not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a perception that

the flavoured tobacco is somehow not harm-ful. Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what theflavour. We need to be more mindful as a so-ciety about the burden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”With high levels of respiratory diseases

such as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thoritieshave tomakeevery effort to combatthese.Officials from the City’s health depart-

ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smokinghookah pipes is harmful to the health of anindividual. The researchers are also inagreement that nicotine remains one of themost addictive substances, especially foryoung people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by theSouthAfri-

canMedical Research Council (MRC) smokefrom a hookah pipe is not better than ciga-rette smokebecause it passes throughwater.This is because, like cigarette smoke, hook-ah smoke contains poisons including nico-tine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic and lead.The sheet covers a variety of topics includ-

ing the long-term health effects of smokinghookah.It says smoking hookah can be as addic-

tive as cigarettes and the long-term effectsinclude cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-

ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto.“Children whose parents smoke hookahs

are more likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted by Profes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg, highrates of hookah smoking were observed.As part of the study, a surveywas conduct-

edwithGrade 10 pupils fromanearby schoolwhere it was found that 60% of pupils hadused or were currently smoking hookahpipes.The results also indicate that most users

started smoking hookah pipes between theages of 13 and 15.The study says a significant number of us-

ershad reportedusingmarijuanaor alcohol-based products along with the tobacco. Ithighlights the need for nationwide researchon the extent of hookah smoking in SouthAfrica.

The City of Cape Town is seeking clarity onlegislation around hookah pipes.

The Cathkin Community Centre in Heideveld will be one of two facilities that will be upgradedto give residents world class recreational facilities. PHOTO: TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

HEIDEVELD

Facilities upgradedTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

The upgrading of two recreational facili-ties and a new sports developmentstrategy aims to promote a healthy

lifestyle for residents living in Heideveld.Substance abuse, gangsterism, crime, do-mestic violence and poverty are daily reali-ties for residents ofHeideveld and surround-ing communities.For years, residents have requested morerecreational facilities and programmes toprovide people with an alternative to crime.Now residents’ pleas have been heard.Ward councillor Anthony Moses says twocommunity facilities will be refurbishedand the Heideveld sports field upgraded thisyear.The upgrading of the sports field has al-ready started and the refurbishment of theCathkin Centre as well as the JonkershoekCentre will start shortly.“It is generally noted that sport and recre-ation programmes can play a role in bring-ing communities together to engage witheach other in an environment conducive tobreaking down barriers and fostering posi-tive communication aswell as promoting ac-tive lifestyles,” Moses says.“It is also the stimulation of the physicaland mental formation of a person’s develop-ment – both internal and external – that willbe exemplified through a healthy lifestyle.In Heideveld, residents face many socio-eco-nomic challenges such as unemploymentand poverty and turning to crime can be aneasy option to take. I have put aside moneyto renovate these facilities because of thenumber of requests received fromcommuni-ty leaders to have a safe space for residentsand the youth to unwind, but also so that itcan build communities.”This will be a multi-million rand projectandMoses saysupgrades to the sports centrewill include new netball pitches; putt-putt,a spray park; a swimming pool; volleyball,softball and baseball pitches; lights; fencingand increased security; proper signage, aswell as a mini soccer field.In addition, the refurbishment of theCath-kin and Jonkershoek facilities will com-mence with the fixing of the roof and thenthe ceiling and the floors.“The refurbishment will be in accordancewith the template at other similar centresnamely Lavender Hill and Parkwood. Thiswill take a few months. There will be a tem-porary closure to the facility in terms ofhealth and safety regulations. All pro-grammes will be shifted to other centres inthe area,” he adds.Heideveld Youth Organisation chairper-

son Rodney Arendse says having function-ing community facilitieswill be of great ben-efit to residents.“If we have proper functioning facilities,it will help to building stronger communi-ties, create unity among families, reducecrime and anti-social behaviour, encouragevolunteerism, help with life skills and pro-mote healthier living,” he says.“I am excited about the new sports field

and upgraded community centres becausethere is no point in having programme ideaswith no place to implement them. This is asmall but every important step in ensuringthat our children and elderly are occupiedconstructively in a safe space.”

TRIBUTE

Vanguard Drive renamedTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

#@LeeLaVidaLoca

Amentor, a father, a leader anda friend is how ProfessorJakes Gerwel will be remem-

bered.On what would have been Ger-

wel’s 69th birthday, representa-tives of the Gerwel family, theMandela Rhodes Foundation, theSuidoosterfees committee and oth-er distinguished guests gatheredon the corner of Vanguard andKlipfontein Road to unveil JakesGerwel Drive.Following the passing of Gerwel

on 28 November 2012, the MandelaRhodes Foundation approachedthe City of Cape Town with thewish to pay tribute to his legacy.The City’s Naming Committee

approved the proposal to renameVanguard Drive to Jakes GerwelDrive in April last year.The decision to rename Van-

guard Drive to Jakes Gerwel Drivewas based on its geographical im-portance in Gerwel’s life.In her speech at the renaming

ceremony on Sunday,mayor Patri-cia de Lille touched on the fact thatover four decades of Gerwel’s lifewere spent on the Cape Flats,

“whichmakes hima true son of theCape Town soil”.“He was a signatory of the City

of Cape Town’s Civic HonoursBook – one of the highest civic hon-ours bestowed by the City to indi-viduals who have made a signifi-cant contribution in business, aca-demia and leadership,” sheexplained.“It is therefore only fitting that

his achievements and contributionto our city and country bememori-alised in this manner.VanguardDrivewas chosen for its geographi-cal significance in the life ofProfes-sor Gerwel, as he spent a large part

of his life living andworking in thesuburbs found along this road.”De Lille felt the choice to rename

VanguardDrivewas evenmore ap-propriate if one considers the defi-nition of vanguard, which is “to bein position at the forefront of newdevelopments or ideas”.“ProfessorGerwelwas one of the

stalwarts in the vanguard of ournew democracy – a courageousleader who stood firm for what hebelieved was right,” she said.“We saw this when he became

rector of the University of theWestern Cape during the late 1980sand decided to open up student en-

rolment to the entire populationrather than just the coloured popu-lation. This was a bold act deeplyrooted in his belief in the spirit ofinclusivity.”Chairperson of the Mandela

Rhodes Foundation and friend ofGerwel, ProfessorNjabuloNdebelesaid all people are linked throughhighways and roads.“Theybringus togetherwhenwe

travel to work, family or publicspaces and in that way we are allconnected. It is only fitting to hon-our the memory of a man who be-lieved in inclusivity and bringingpeople together,” said Ndebele.

On a break from realitySAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

A holiday programme has given a group ofManenberg youth a break from the every-day ills they face.After living in the area for many years,

JohannaSmith says shegrew tiredof seeingthe youth engulfed in gangsterism, drugsand a life of crime.Smith then started the programme aimed

specifically at children exposed to drugabuse in the hope of keeping them off thestreets and away from drugs.And, she believes, the inaugural pro-

gramme instilled a sense of passion for hercommunity.“Children are aspiring to be gangsters

and live a life of crime. This is all they knowand we need to change that. An eight-year-old came up to me and said he would liketo be a gangster because that is cool. Thatbroke my heart,” she says.Backedby government funding andGod’s

People Ministries church, based in Manen-berg, Smith and other facilitators held ex-tensiveworkshops at the programmewhichincluded talks on key issues such as drugs,abuse and teenage pregnancy.The programme ran from Monday 12 to

Friday 16 January and was based at theGreens.Smith says about 150 children attended

daily and they were overwhelmed at the

success of the programme.“We did not expect this many children to

be interested in the programme. I must alsosay the facilitators impressed me as well.Theyknew just how to get the rightmessageacross,” she says.Although the club endedonFriday, Smith

also took a group of 45 children aged be-tween 12 and 18 years old away for theweek-end where they enjoyed a hike and semi-nars on how to forgive and let go of rage.“We took the children to the Hottentots

Mountains. I love themountains and I wantto motivate the children and show themthat there ismore to life than just crime andviolence.“I know they can’t change in oneweekend

but at least they will have a break. Gang-sterism and drugs is the life they know butseeing what else God has created will begood for them.”Smith says anyone canmake a difference

and that it starts at home.“Parents must stand together and help

their children. Don’t cover up for themwhen you know they are wrong. Don’t waitfor someone else, you can help your ownchild,” she says.Smith plans to continue the programme

every year during the school holidays andhopes to make a difference in the youths’lives.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

CAPRI

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 January,walkers, runners andnature lovers acrossCape Town will be preparing to Run the

Roodeberg. A bold campaign to help pre-serve and enjoy the mountain slopes behindCapri has taken shape.In January last year, WWF South Africa,

the TableMountain Fund and SouthAfricanNational Parks set out to obtain two piecesof privately owned land for incorporation in-to the Table Mountain National Park

(TMNP). They launched their campaign,called Restore the Roodeberg, and lobbied toraise R9.2m to acquire the remaining prop-erties on the northern section.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two pieces ofland. Following this campaign, the CapriNeighbourhoodWatch launched theRun theRoodeberg event.Watch member Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought asustainable model to fund the project.

They conceptualised the running eventwhich will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the eventwill consist of two

trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at the

same point but after the 3km mark it takes

a left turn and rewards the runners withsome fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for the

6kmandR150 for the 16km; R50 of each entrywill go towards the campaign. The remain-der of the funds will cover operational costsand go towards the Capri NeighbourhoodWatch. They plan to publish the financialsto ensure transparency.“The event is about celebrating communi-

ty collaboration to help restore the Roode-berg and improve safety of residents in Ca-pri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.
