“I know that themayor still has a few [wheel-chairs] left. Themayor’s office receives regu-lar donations from the Taiwanese govern-ment and an organisation in Taiwan. If youput your name in now and it is on the list,then the chances are good that you may re-ceive one,” says Little.An ecstatic Afron was lost for words, but

was grateful for the donation, which will notjust make his life easier, but the lives of hisparents and three brothers as well.“Nowhe is going to be at table length,” said

a smiling Tyrell.

“Hewill be able to butterhis ownbreadandhe will be able to use his left side more often,because now we are doing everything forhim.“He is going to be at table height and also

be able to wheel himself to the bathroom, be-cause at the moment, he was just lying or sit-ting in the room or crawling, but he cannotcrawl properly because of the short ham-stringshehas.Nowhe is able tomovebyhim-self.“I am just veryecstatic; I can’t evenexpress

myself anymore,” said Tyrell.

The office of the mayor has donated a wheelchair to Afron Hendricks (6), who was born withcerebral palsy. Here are back row from left Kim Hendricks, Tyrell Hendricks, Tyrese Hendricks andSuzette Little. In front are Lennox Hendricks, Rylee Hendricks and Afron Hendricks.

NYANGA POLICING CLUSTER

119 arrestedover EasterNineteen people were arrested during

searches of almost 60 alleged drughouses, including 48 shebeens, by the po-lice of the Nyanga cluster precinct.The operation was conducted under

the command of Major-General VincentBeaton, who, according to LieutenantIanBennett, spokesperson ofManenbergpolice, has committed himself and hisseniormanagers to ensuring a high stan-dard of effective service delivery by po-lice.“Themonth ofMarch isHumanRights

Month. It is vital that all people knowtheir rights. Human rights are interna-tionally recognised and protected bylaw,” stated Beaton.Bennett reiterated that the Nyanga po-

licing cluster is a gang-ridden area andthat basic human rights are violated dai-ly in the area.“This has become a norm and has af-

fected the policing in the area, in the exe-cution of our daily operations, combat-ing gang violence and domestic abuse,which stems from so many social illswithin the community. We are still fo-cused on combatting criminal activitywhile still having empathy when show-ing zero tolerance,” said Bennett.Following operations executed by offi-

cers of various police stations, 259F alco-hol was confiscated.Thirty-five units of heroin, 263 units of

tik, 125g mandrax tablets as well as 544sticks of dagga were seized.Three firearms were also confiscated.“We call on the community to be ac-

tively involved in crime prevention byreporting all criminal activity and all il-legal firearm and ammunition posses-sion,” added Bennett.There were 104 reports of crime

againstwomenandchildren,with 29peo-ple arrested in connection with thesecrimes.“We encourage the most vulnerable

people, women, children and senior citi-zens, who are victims of crime to comeforwardand seek support in order to stopthe scourge of abuse. It is important thatthe community stands together and re-ports crime and stops turning a blind eyeto criminal activity, because of being anacquaintance of the perpetrator,” statedBennett.During 17 tracing operations, 134

wanted people were arrested for out-standing cases.V Anyone with information of criminal activity cancall CrimeStop on 0860 010 111 or the emergencycall centre on 10111.

Easter Bunny takesegg-stra special hopLast week the Easter Bunny could not bedistracted by the aroma of hot cross bunsand pickled fishwafting on the south-easteraround the Peninsula.He had more important business with a

visit to young patients at the Red CrossWarMemorial Children’s Hospital.These youngsters received an egg-stra

special treat when the Easter Bunny ar-riveda fewdays early tomakea special visitto the hospital on Thursday.Every year the Easter Bunny, accompa-

niedbyvarious special guests, visit the chil-dren to spread joy and brighten their dayby sharing hugs and handing out Eastertreats.TheEaster goodies are donated to thehos-

pital by various organisations through theFriends of the Children’s Hospital Associa-tion (Focha), a non-profit organisationbasedat thehospital that providesnon-med-ical support to patients and their families.The event is one of twoannual eventsheld

at the hospital that are designed to includehospitalised children in festivities they

would ordinarily miss out on and to spreadjoy at times which would be tough for chil-dren and their families to spend in hospital.“There is nothing better than a good

friend, except a good friend full of surpris-es,” said the Easter Bunny before happilyhopping between wards.“The best part of my Easter weekend is

visiting my friends here at the Red CrossWar Memorial Children’s Hospital. Noth-ing brings me more joy than being able tobrighten their lives over the Easter period.The visit always sets the tone for the restof my Easter.”Angelique Jordaan, hospital spokesper-

son, was also very grateful for the visit.“We are very grateful for all the Easter

goodies for thepatients.Thishasput a smileon the children’s faces and made their stayin hospital over the Easter period slightlybetter by distracting them from the reasonthey are in hospital. Thank you to everyonewho donated and thank you to Focha for en-suring that the patients do not miss out onEaster celebrations,” she said.

several ali-ases andthat he livesbehind theVygieskraalvlei.“He fre-

A fraudster is making his waythrough Greenhaven, Surrey

Estate, Gatesville, Rylands andsurrounding areas.According to Umesh Vallabh of

Greenhaven Crime Watch, theman, who goes by the name ofRushaad, tells unsuspecting resi-dents, especially elderly resi-dents, sob stories about his termi-nally illwife or children.He preyson people to give him groceriesand money.“He is well-dressed and well-

spoken, so it is easy to fall for histactics. He was reported to havebeen inside homes, so it justshows how convincing he can be.“If he is spotted please report

him to your closest neighbour-hood watch,” Vallabh urges.He says that despite residents

tor to take up a complaint of thatnature.“There isno such thingas a ‘con

man’. It is either a fraud case ora theft with diversion case, butthere are avenues the public canfollow to prosecute these people.They really need to lay criminalcharges and they need to trust thepolice.“The long armof the law is long,

but it is also patient, so you needto build a case,” he says.He adds that no matter how

long ago any incident occurred, acriminal case would remain validfor many years.“Depending on the circumstan-

ces, any case can be picked up atany given point in time. There arepeople who after 20 or 30 years re-alised that this person violatedme, especially in sexual assaultcases.“And then there aremanywom-

en who have come forward whowere violated in their teens.“A case is never invalid, unless

you come forward and enquireabout it,” he adds.He urges community members

to come forward early instead, sothat they can stop crime before itis repeated.“The longer they take to come

forward, the more difficult it be-comes to stop this person, becausethen they become brazen and ar-rogant, because they think theyare getting away with it.“We encourage the community

to take the police into their confi-dence to report the activities if itis criminal.“No case is of lesser importance

than the next and each case willget the attention that it deserves.”V Anyone can report criminal activity tothe Manenberg police on 021 699 9400or CrimeStop on 0860 010 111.

Mayor praises rights in HeideveldEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Mayor Patricia de Lille visited Heideveldlast week to mark national Human RightsDay.De Lille was also in the area to spread

news regarding the City of Cape Town’s “in-clusive city” campaign, which aims to ad-dress racism and build a positive rights-based culture in which everyone knowstheir rights, knows that they cannot be dis-criminated against and knows that we allhave a responsibility to respect the rights ofothers.“In the second phase of our campaign, we

are going into communities to host dia-logues on the issue of racism, knowing yourrights and claiming those rights,” stated DeLille.According to Anthony Moses, ward coun-

cillor for the area, the local commemorationday was held in the form of a workshop tocreate the setting for a common dialogue.Various community organisations, such

as the local community police forum andHeideveld health clinic, joined communitymembers to raise issues around the spatialchallenges in the area.“Some of the challenges which came up

were the issues of unemployment among thecommunity, crime as well as spatial differ-ences between the various areas. The com-munity then actually requested more localprogrammes. They asked for more munici-pal services and a more inclusive approachand that the whole issue of racism needs tohave a change of mindset,” said Moses.De Lille urged community members to

work together to promote unity, love andpeace.“If we stand togetherwe can fight poverty,

gangsterism and racism. The ubuntu spiritneeds to take hold of people and the need tosee colour must disappear. People need to

see people, not colour,” she added.She stated that everyone had the right to

freedom of speech, not to be discriminatedagainst and freedom of association, as wellas the right to be treated with respect andfor these rights to be protected.“I asked the people of Heideveld to speak

what is on their hearts and I was very im-pressed with what I heard today. We allagreed that we need to respect each other,respect our parents, our children, our neigh-bours. We need to work together to addressthe issues facing our communities,” shesaid.

She said that communities were still deal-ing with the divisions of apartheid today,but that despite it, parents needed to teachtheir children that the colour of your skindid not matter.“Cape Town is a city for all. We want ev-

eryone to feel a sense of belonging and thatthis city belongs to allwho live in it.Wemustnever allow ourselves to be separated on thebasis of colour or race. I was once againamazed at the wisdom and values that camefrom these discussions and that we had thecommunity leading these discussions,” saidDe Lille.

Mayor Patricia de Lille visited Heideveld last week to celebrate national Human Rights Day.

20 392 jobs in the last quarter of last year, ex-ceeding its 20 000 target for the quarter byalmost 400 jobs.Anthony Moses, councillor for ward 44,

says his targets were also exceeded in thelast quarter of last year.“The reasoning for that is the number of

projects within ward 44 over the past year.The four years had about 95 projects, but forthe current year thereweremore than sevenprojects within the ward and obviously itwill escalate because there aremoreprojectswhich will come to the ward,” he says.He says projects such as the ongoing road

upgrades in Heideveld, the Heideveld hous-ing project, the enumeration project in theinformal settlements and the hostel develop-ment in the ward has contributed to the up-turn and subsequent development of the ar-ea.He adds that themayor’s cleaning-up cam-

paign will also benefit the area as a result.“I have previously applied for EPWP pro-

jects for the ward which will be based onhome-based care, early childhood develop-ment, organisational development aswell asother poverty alleviating projects.”

Vulnerable get workA hundred people with disabilities have

gotten municipal jobs through a recentskills programme.The City of Cape Town’s social develop-

ment and early childhood development di-rectorate organised the contract work aspart of its vulnerable groups programme.The programme is being run across all

eight social development district offices, in-cluding Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, OceanView, Westlake, Belhar and Atlantis.Participants completed a workplace

skills training programme before startingthree-month contracts which expire at theend of June. They have been placed at localorganisations, libraries, clinics, schoolsandpolice stations andperformadministra-tive tasks such as filing, managing switch-boards, helpingwith reception duties, mon-itoring Grade R learners at schools, weav-ing cane and restoring cane furniture.“Finding work in South Africa is hard. It

is even harder for people with disabilities,despite employment targets that are meantto level the playing fields. Toomany organi-sations simply do not have the time or incli-nation to train a person with a disabilitywho could be an asset to their business in

the long run. There is also the prevailingstigma that often sees people with disabili-ties being marginalised.“The key to our workplace skills pro-

gramme is to prepare the candidates for theworkplace and improve their prospects offull-time employment,” says Suzette Little,Mayco member for social development andearly childhood development.Another City initiative, the livelihood

skills project, got under way in Decemberlast year. It sees 53 candidates undergoingentrepreneurship training to start theirown community-based businesses.The five-day training programme is pro-

vided by the Disability Workshop Develop-ment Enterprise.Recently, the first group of 18 completed

their training in wheelchair and bicycle re-pairs and maintenance.The next group of 18 trainees will be

taught arts and crafts skills and the finalgroup will be trained in shoe and bag re-pairs.“We will be keeping a close eye on this

group through continued mentoring andongoing support as they put their traininginto practice,” says Little.

Vido’s not allowedto stay open laterEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

An application to extend the tradinghours of Vido’s Liquor Store from 18:00

to 20:00 has been rejected.The decision comes after a recommenda-

tion was made by City of Cape Town offi-cials to subcouncil 11, which serves the areain which Vido’s Liquor Store is found.

“The Tambo Village [site] was visited bythe subcouncil and it was said that the coun-cillor (Siyabonga Mamkeli) visited theplace along with the subcouncil chairper-son (Mzuvukile Nikelo).

“Basically the subcouncil then went withthe recommendation from the officials andthe application was not approved in view ofthe report of criminal activity within thatparticular precinct,” says Anthony Moses,ward councillor for ward 44.

The application stated that the request

was made in the interest of the public andto be beneficial to the surrounding commu-nity, because extended hours for alcoholsales meant that residents would not haveto resort to buying alcohol illegally after Vi-do’s closes for business.

The application also mentioned that Vi-do’s had traded until 20:00 in the past with-out any major incidents of public nuisanceor disturbances.

But after his assessing the premises,Mamkeli said there were already a numberof outlets clustered in the area already sell-ing alcohol during those times and that“due to the social ills, gang violence andhealth of the people in the area” the applica-tion was refused.

“The place will still operate in its normalhours. The major problem is the social im-pact that it has on the community, becauseit is found within a residential area,” reiter-ates Moses.

A carrot for compostingEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Home recycling will become a part of thedaily lives of many as the City of Cape

Town wants to donate composting units tohomeowners.

The project aims to keep as much house-holdorganicwaste aspossible from landfillsites and redirect it to home compost con-tainers to fertilise the garden.

During a subcouncil 11 sitting at the Fez-eka Chambers in Gugulethu, a presenta-

tionunveiled plans tohave someof the 5000units given to residents of Cape Town.Some 2000 residents in Heideveld and Ma-nenberg could be eligible for a free unit.

This pilot project follows research car-ried out at over 600 homes in Heathfield,Edgemead, Bongweni and Scottsville in2013 and 2014.

Theproject,whichalso included commu-nity centres in Kensington, Atlantis andKhayelitsha, showed a 91% participationrate. On average 17kg of household wasteand 13kg of waste were diverted at commu-

nity organisations every month.The study found that almost all of the

participants had previously thrown theirorganicwaste in theirwheelie bins, but aft-er the study three-quarters of them werecomposting at home.

However, homeowners must apply andqualify for these free units:. Home composting containers are for sin-gle residences only.. Only the homeowner may apply.. The property needs to have a secure gar-den area, which must have at least have

1m² of open grass and 30m² of greenery.Anthony Moses, ward 44 councillor,

urged the more than 2000 eligible home-owners in the area to apply for such com-posting units.

Moses also revealed that there are plansto extend the project to residents who livein council rental units in the future.

“It will be more than 2000 homes in myparticular area.”

The project is expected to be launchedand advertised next month.

PENNED BY A JOURNO

You don’tdrive aloneI have been a licenced driver for a fewyearsnow and because of my job, how far awayfrom civilisation I live and the lifestyle Ilead, I spend much of my life behind thewheel.In a bid to drive the fastest, nicest, coolest

or flashiest car we can afford, drivers thesedays seem to forget howmuchof a responsi-bility it is to be in control of a vehicle.In a rush to get where we need to be, the

common courtesies that need to be shownwhile driving, especially on our nationalroads, are blatantly ignored by some.This morning, on my 44km commute to

the office, my driver-side mirror became acasualty of what can only be referred to asnegligent driving.Driving at 120km/H in the fast lane on

one of our national roads, I was met withthe unwelcome invasion of a work truckwhose driver felt it was okay to cross threelanes straight from the off-ramp.In a bid to avoid an accident that could

have claimed my life (and maybe the truckdriver’s too, seeing as he was not wearinghis seat belt) I swerved onto the shoulder,hitting my mirror on the barrier wall. Thetruck was right next to my car at the time.To many this may not seem like a big

deal, but the other driver refused to ac-knowledge anywrongdoing and flashedmethe almighty middle finger.A quick check of your blindspot before

changing lanes would be appreciated nexttime.It is behaviour like this that really needs

to change. The road is for us all. Not onlyfor those drivers who continue to force oth-ers off the road, who think the safe follow-ing distance is an invitation to changelanes, who drive as if their tyres are not al-lowed to touch the tar and especially thosewho are irresponsible in thinking their ac-tions will not affect others.Robots, stop and yield signs, speed limits

and other road rules are not suggestions.The most dangerous drivers are not only

those who drive drunk, it is especiallythosewho drive for themselves. The realityis when you get behind the wheel, you takethe lives of all the other drivers around youin your hands.Next time you drive, think about your ac-

tions.

Beware ATM crimeThank you for alerting the public aboutthe ATM gangs in the city centre area(“ATM gangs ‘well dressed’ ”, People’sPost, 22 March). I have observed somesuspicious people loitering and offeringhelp in Strand Street. Inside the Pick nPay supermarket are (both Absa andStandard Bank) ATMs. I have alertedthe security who are usually reluctantto help. Sometimes I call police, but Iam not sure if they take it seriously.

The last time was two weeks agowhen I saw one security officer con-fronting two other security officers whowork inside the Pick n Pay area. Hewas shouting at them that they werepart of the crime as they did not takeany action.

Anyway, people must be alert!HERMON OGBAMICHAEL,

What City, residentsdo with shack firesWith winter on our doorstep and the firstchill felt in the Mother City, we dreadthe devastation and loss of life andproperty suffered by shack dwellers ininformal settlements.

Ongoing education regarding the threatof open fires remains a priority, andsome media reports purport that theblame must be placed on local govern-ment in respect of the cause of shackfires.

The misleading reports cover most ofthe bases, except for explaining thenarrative and implications of informalsettlements on private land.

Legally, the City of Cape Town, provin-cial government or other authorities areprohibited from building electrical orplumbing infrastructure on private landwhere informal settlements have sprungup.

But the City is proactive in supplyingportable toilets to prevent the potentialspread of disease.Another stumbling block, as reported,

is that local informal settlement residentsironically stone firefighters and incurmuch damage to firefighting vehicleswhen arriving to extinguish fires.These brave officials are deployed to

help the very shack dwellers.To alleviate their plight of experiencing

devastating fires, the initiative to usealternative solar energy and photovoltaicinstallations by the community leader-ship of the Siqalo informal settlement inMitchell’s Plain has been welcomed.“God gave us the sun and the wind.

Best that we use them,” as quipped by alocal.

Heroes gave us our rightsOn 21 March, South Africans officiallycelebrate Human Rights Day, declared apublic holiday in 1994 following theinauguration of then president NelsonMandela.

Monday’s celebration paid tribute tothose 69 unarmed persons who lost theirlives and the countless injured in theirpursuit to ensure freedom, fairness andopportunities for all South Africans.

The protest was against the pass lawsat the time. The pass law was alsohumiliatingly referred to as the dompasand was a particular indignation forblack men who had to produce it ondemand and could be arrested on the spotif they did not have it on them.

Also referred to as heroes’ day, theevent marked an awakening across theworld to the inhumanity of the apartheid

regime. However, it also meant the startof the end for peaceful protests againstapartheid in South Africa.My appeal to you, the unregistered

voter, the one who enjoys the freedom ofreligion, belief and opinion, freedom ofexpression, freedom of association andthe right to education is to be remindedof those who lost their lives to ensure wehave these rights. In addition to access-ing these rights let all of us be mindful ofthe associated responsibilities.So, don’t say “I don’t need to vote” or

“My voice does not matter” but, rather,as an affected stakeholder, find mediumsto convey your concerns or supportpertaining to issues that affect all SouthAfricans.

Apiece ofCapeTown’shistoryhas goneupfor sale this week as the first public tele-

scope placed on TableMountain in 1930 waslisted on www.gumtree.co.za.

The telescope was purchased in 1991 byUCT employee Julian Meyer, a collector oftelescopes, from the chief technical officerfor a brass scrap price.

At the time, the telescope had fallen outofuseas its objective lenswasbadly crackedand the prisms were chipped.

However, this does notmean that the tele-scope has lost any of its historical value.

“This is obviously a very, very rare pieceand would be an amazing restorationproject or an extremely valuable collectable

for display.“Some very important people looked

through this telescope during the years itwas on the mountain,” says Meyer.

The telescope was mounted for publicviewing next to the upper cable station in1930, just after the opening of the cable car.

Some of the illustrious visitors who mayhave peered through its lenses include theBritish Royal family during their 1947SouthAfrican tour – where theywere greet-ed by the then 77-year old Prime Minister,Jan Smuts.

Smuts not only hiked to the top of themountain tomeet them, but arrived back intown in time for a joint sitting of the Housesof Parliament.

Meyer was able to confirm the telescope’sauthenticity through the South African As-tronomical Observatory. He also unearthedfrom online archives a picture of it in itsplace on the mountain.

A former Zeiss employee visiting CapeTown fromtheUnitedStateswasable topro-vide the exact manufacture date and sentMeyer the original token used to test thetimingmechanism,which takes the place ofthe coins that thepublicused topay for theirview of the city and the ocean.

After trying to get the telescope refur-bished by the now defunct SA Navy OpticalWorkshop and by the Table Mountain Aeri-al Cableway Company as a possible publicexhibit, Meyer reluctantly put it up for sale.

“I hope whoever buys it will have betterluck than I did in getting this wonderful tel-escope back into working condition.”

My name is Miriam 45 years testify about themiracles that Prof Danish performed in mylife. I am one of the people who lost a lot ofmoney to the so called doctors but when Iread the testimony Hilda wrote about ProfDanish, I decided to try again and called ProfDanish and he toldme all will be finewithmeif only I believe in him. My life was a mess, Ihad big debts, working for 5 years with nomoney, that time my boyfriend had left me,he used a crystal ball eye and gave me amagic ring which helped me. My boyfriendcame back and I am now financially stable.My court cases were dismissed and I livehappily now.

“And then I said tomyself: ‘Maybe to-day is the day.’”

This is how Zimbabwean MikeFokoroni describes his 03:13:33 victory inthe Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra Mara-thon (Omtom) on Saturday.

Fokoroni raced to a comfortable finish,outpacing and ultimately beating fellowcountryman and Nedbank athlete CollenMakaza (3:14:45) and last year’s champMotlokoa Nkhabutlane (3:16:22) to the fin-ish line.

“Theweatherwas so great! The pacewasslow in the beginning and I was just hold-ing back until half way,” Fokoroni added.Meanwhile, Caroline Wöstmann contin-

ued her path ofmarathon domination, suc-cessfully defending her 56km Omtom title.Wöstmann, who had been clear at the

start that she intended to run at a slowerpace, maintained a comfortable distancefrom race leader TanithMaxwell. She tookthe lead in the final kilometres of the raceand broke the ribbon in a time of 03:44:44.Fokoroni’s finish was the slowest in 22

years, while Wöstmann’s finish was alsoconsiderably slower than previous wins.

In thehalfmarathonmen’s race,NamakoeNkhasi sprinted to the finish in a time of01:03:38, beating Olympic hopeful Elroy Ge-lant by two seconds and narrowly missingthe course record. David Manja finished inthird place (1:03:45).

In the women’s race, Irvette van Zylclinched the half marathon title in a time of01:13:14. Fellow Nedbank runner OnneileDintwe from Botswana reached the finishline fourminutes later, while Namibian Ali-na Armas came third (01:18:05).
