Alderman J P Smith, chairman of the mayoral committee (Mayco) for safety and security, said that from next year CPFs would be able to as- sign specific tasks to the City’s met- ro police and traffic department. Smith said that the point of the programme was to help improve the partnership between Cape Town’s law enforcement agencies and CPFs, and to make better use of the limited resources available to the City. “What I want is an accountability mechanism, where the community can hold my staff accountable,” said Smith. “I want them to be able to assign specific duties and priorities to the traffic law enforcement and metro police. So we are giving them a time sheet and every day they can allo- cate a priority to each one of these services. The following month my staff must then report on what they have done.” The programme is still in its de- velopmental phase and the finer de- tails will be worked out in January next year when Smith and the rest of the Safety and Security Mayco meet with CPF heads. However, Smith envisions that it will involve the CPF leaders meet- ing with a metro police and traffic services representative and then filling in a timesheet to say how what they would like the law en- forcement officers to concentrate on. Smith believes that the city, CPFs and the neighbourhoods they serve will benefit greatly once this sys- tem is implemented. “For the community, the benefit is that the staff are held accounta- ble. They will fill in the timesheet with what they want the law en- forcement to do and the staff then will report back at the next meeting on what stats were generated, and what happened, and what they found there,” said Smith. “For the city, the plus side is that we won’t be just sitting with the community ‘shotgunning’ a large list of requests. At the CPF meet- ings what usually happens is that one person will say this and anoth- er will say that. And you end up with a list of about 20 things that are priorities and that you have to be responsible for, and, quite frankly, you end up not being responsible for any of them. “The benefit for the city is that it will compel the CPF to exercise its mind on what the priorities are, and to allocate the resources available to them accordingly.” Senior CPF leaders in Cape Town do not all share Smith’s confidence that the project will help to reduce crime in their areas, or improve co- operation between themselves, the City’s law enforcement agencies and the police. While some welcomed the move, others criticised it heavily. Hanif Loonat, chairperson of the Western Cape Community Police board, was ecstatic upon hearing the news from the People’s Post. “I’m lost for words. If that’s what he (Smith) told you then he needs to be applauded for taking such a stance. He is now coming to the same page,” said Loonat. “That is what we have been ask- ing for all along – (for the city) to start using the CPFs. CPFs legally represent their communities. We are excited that he has decided to use us as his partner. “We appeal to him to let this be a lasting relationship, and one that befits our communities.” But Michael Jacobs, Mitchell’s Plain cluster CPF chairperson, said he was sceptical about how effec- tive the plan would be. He criticised the city for not in- cluding CPFs in the planning proc- ess and said the Metro Police’s ina- bility to bring charges against crim- inals could result in the system breaking down. “The plans that JP Smith put on the table are not attainable. I don’t think they will be fully realised,” said Jacobs. “When it comes to law enforce- ment, they (the Metro Police) don’t have the powers to investigate crimes and they don’t have the pow- er to take the suspects to court. They have to hand the suspects to the SAPS.” “That calls for greater co-opera- tion between law enforcement agencies, which is the ideal situa- tion, which to my knowledge isn’t currently happening. Everybody is having their own little operations.” Cassiem Christians, Athlone CPF’s chairperson, criticised the City’s law enforcement for their past failures, but welcomed the move if it resulted in more co-opera- tion between the city and CPFs. “We welcome the fact that there can be a much closer working rela- tionship between the CPFs and the city law enforcement,” said Chris- tians. “If we can have this particular close relationship we can make the implementation of crime preven- tion operations much more effec- tive. We welcome his (Smith’s) posi- tion that there needs to be this part- nership. “We need to start planning on a long-term basis how we are going to deal with not only crime, but with crime prevention.” The programme will also give teeth to neighbourhood watches around the city, by training and ap- pointing some of their members as fully-fledged metro police reserv- ists. Smith said that the reservists would be embedded in the neigh- bour watches they came from once they had completed the training and passed all necessary tests. The officers would then be armed, legally be allowed to conduct search and seizures and would be able to make arrests.

Police warnbusiness ownersLIAM MOSES
THE Pinelands police have urged resi-dents and businesses to be cautiousduring the festive season and offer thepolice any support they can.
The warning comes in the wake of a re-cent spate of violent crimes that sawthree murders, one attempted murderand two robberies committed in the samearea.
The crimes were committed, in threeseparate incidents, between Monday De-cember 5 and Monday December 12, inthe Epping Industrial area, near Thorn-ton.
Warrant officer Tando Sonjica, spokes-person for the Pinelands police, said thatbusinesses needed to careful to ensurethe safety of their staff and customers.
“Pinelands police urge residents andbusinesses to be extremely alert duringthis festive season as criminals are readyto explore any opportunity they mighthave to get money,” said Sonjica.
“Business owners have to ensure thatthe necessary safety precautions are tak-en to secure their businesses, clients andemployees.
“Without the support of the communi-ty, the task of the police to contain crimeis so much more difficult. Crime usuallyescalates during this period and more es-pecially in the business areas.”
In the first incident, the manager of Gi-
ants Sweets, Benbow Avenue, Epping,was killed on Monday December 8, whena group of men robbed a cash-in-transitvan while it made a pick-up at the store.
One of the van’s guards was also shotin the neck, but survived the attack.
The men escaped with a bag of cash. Noarrests have been made.
In the second incident to take place inEpping last week, a man was shot deadafter attempting to steal cash from an in-formal trader on Friday December 9. Theman was shot at 11:30 and died later inhospital.
The third killing took place yesterday,when a man was stabbed to death ataround 18:00 after an argument.
Both the suspect, who has been arrest-ed, and the victim are suspected to havebeen under the influence of alcohol whenthe incident occurred.
Police have asked that the communityreports any suspicious or illegal activi-ties to the Pinelands police by calling(021) 506-2022 or 10111.
In a completely unrelated incident innearby Rondebosch, a house in RivertonRoad was burgled on Tuesday 6 Decem-ber at around 09:45.
The perpetrators forced open thehouse’s front gate and door, and stoleitems to the value of around R20 000, in-cluding two TVs, jewellery, an iPod andcameras. No one was in the house at thetime of the robbery and no arrests havebeen made.
In the latter half ofthe 17th century aDutch ship ladenwith gold coins dis-integrated on thereefs a short dis-tance from RobbenIsland.
Today, the goldwould be worthtens of millions ofdollars. A few coinshave washedashore over thecenturies but thetreasure itself re-mains in the ocean.www.wikipe-dia.org

Woman scammed at ATMLIAM MOSES
A HARTFIELD VILLAGEwoman has been defraudedout of R3 000 after two menallegedly stole her bank ac-count details while she usedan ATM.
Jilly Chiappini, a 63-year-oldwho works for St Luke’s Hos-pice, says that R2 000 was with-drawn from her credit card ac-count of Saturday 3 Decemberand another R1 000 was stolenthe following day.
According to Chiappini, heraccount details were takenfrom her on Friday 2 Decemberwhile she used the StandardBank ATM at the Spar shop-ping centre on Rosemead Ave-nue.
Chiappini says that, as sheapproached the ATM, she no-ticed a young man waiting inline to use it and saw anotherolder man who was “dressedlike a business man” get out ofhis car and join the queue be-hind the younger man.
“When the young man wenttouse themachine, heappearedto be having a difficult time andhe called the business man,who was standing behind him,and the two of them huddledover the machine,” said Chiap-pini
“I asked the young man if itwas working and he said it wasfine. When I went to use the ma-chine, I tried to put my card inand it literally would not go in– not even a centimetre.
“Before I knew it, the youngman had come up behind meand got hold of my card, whileI was still holding on to it, andhe was pushing the card in. He
told me that I have to push hardand hold the top left buttonwhile I push, which I have nev-er had to do before.”
“I then asked him to let go ofmy card and leave and he final-ly stood back and I pushed thecard in. As I looked to my left,I saw the other, well-dressedman looking over my shoulder.I blocked him out a little andcovered the keypad as I put inmy pin and got my R500.”
Chiappini said that shethought nothing of the occur-rence until a Standard Bankemployee called her the nextday to ask if she tried to with-draw R1 000 from her account.
Her debit card was then can-celled by the bank, but her cred-it card, which is linked to hercurrent account, was not can-celled.
According to Chiappini theATM did not look as if it hadbeen tampered with, but sheclaims that a Standard Bankemployee told her that some-thing could have been insertedinto the card slot to record carddetails.
Chiappini has since lodged afraud case with Standard Bank,and says that she expects themoney to be returned to her.
Standard Bank could not givespecific details about the inci-dent or say if Chiappini willhave the money returned toher, but Ross Lind-strom, spokesper-son for the bank,has offered cus-tomers an insightinto how cardfraud scams arecarried out bycriminals.
“There are nor-
mally two or three individuals,and the aim is to distract youand to get your pin. If they haveyour pin, your card is as goodas cash,” said Lindstrom.
“The card details can beskimmed at the ATM by read-ing the details from the magnet-ic strip. If they have your pinand your magnetic strip de-tails, they can duplicate yourcard.” Linstrom warned thissort of credit card fraud oftentook place in restaurants.
“It is very important thatwhen you make a payment, youask the waiter to bring the ma-chine to you,” said Linstrom. Ifthey don’t have a mobile ma-chine, accompany the waiter tothe machine. Never lose sight ofyour card. Make sure the trans-action is completed in front ofyou.”
Linstrom added that custom-ers should never accept helpfrom anyone when using theirdebit or credit cards, and stopthe transaction immediately ifthey feel uncomfortable andsuspiciousandbe extravigilantduring the festive season as“criminals don’t take annualleave”. Chiappini added thatthe crime made her feel intrud-ed upon and said “If I don’t getthe money back, Christmas isnot going to be as fun this year.”
The Claremont police couldnot be reached for comment.

Milk Matters express thanksTHE International Breast Milk Project(IBMP), based in the United States, hasstepped in to boost local supplies and easetheongoingshortageofdonorbreastmilk,by donating over 200 litres of frozen milkto Milk Matters.
Milk Matters is a Western Cape Milk Bankdevoted to providing premature infants withpasteurised donor breastmilk from screenedhealthy mothers.
The donation arrived from California onThursday 8 December.
According to the organisation, this time ofyear can be a stressful and difficult time forsome families. “Mothers of tiny prematureinfants are consistently challenged with emo-tional highs and lows for months on end.
Some of these infants are abandoned or mayhave very sick mothers. They are then leftwith only the medical fraternity and volun-teers to care and protect them,” says Eliza-beth Brierley of Milk Matters.
Providing breastmilk to these vulnerableinfants can be more important than the medi-cation they receive as breastmilk containsthe antibodies and immune factors that pro-tect them from illness, infections and death.Dr Alan Horn, a neonatologist at Groote Sch-uur Hospita, explains that donor breastmilkis potentially life-saving and is worth morethan equipment or staff.
Brierley says at this time of year there isa particular shortage of donor milk suppliesas many of their donors go away on holiday.At the same time, demand for donor breast-
milk is likely to increase.“Milk Matters would like to express a huge
thank you to all our Milk Matters supporters,whether they are donors themselves orspread the message about breastmilk dona-tions. Breastmilk donations from our localMilk Matters donors as well as IBMP donorswill allow premature infants to receive thebest start in life this Christmas,” she says.
Milk Matters have supplied 23 hospitals inthe Western Cape since 2003, with hundredsof vulnerable infants receiving the lifeline ofdonor breastmilk.
If you would like to donate your extrabreastmilk and ensure that vulnerable in-
fants do not go without donor breastmilk thisChristmas please contact Milk Matters on(021) 659-5599 or 082 895 8004.

The real cause of accidentsFOLLOWING certain claims by a radio sta-tion and a newspaper group, a study was con-ducted to determine whether cars drivenwith their headlights on during the daytimepromoted road safety.
It was found that the use of headlights infact created a safety hazard: the beams oflight tended to distract drivers of oncomingvehicles.
Nonetheless, the study found that:. Best use of lighting to make cars more
visible was to light up the interior of the vehi-cle;
. Bright lighting was essential, preferably10 000 watts;
. Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbswere better because they use less electricity;
. Electricity could be provided by 20 stand-ard car batteries placed inside the vehicle.
Certain problems were identified, howev-er.
The CFL bulbs contained mercury vapourwhich couldbe released in the event of break-age.
Therefore, the study recommended that ve-hicle occupants should wear gas masks. An-other potential problem was the possibilityof acid spills from the batteries; for example,if the vehicle swerved suddenly or hit a bumpin the road.
To prevent injury, all occupants shouldwear industrial protective clothing whichcovered the entire body except the face (thegas mask has the added benefit of protectingthe face).
The study was conducted by Prof Crazyn-ski of the University of Upper Slovakia
Conclusion: no amount of lighting can stopreckless or careless driving – the real causeof road accidents.
CONCERNED MOTORISTS
Many see it as the season of giving,but what do we really mean by “giving”?Do we give to the less privileged,perhaps we give to the shops by spending
a wholelot of money on that pair of shoes we dare
not resist,Do we give to the money-lenders,our debts no longer a dark cloud watching
our every move.Our parents taught us not to take but to
give.But on that specific outfit we insist.Yes, the season of giving means giving to
the needy,but do give praise to the King of Kings.
“Silent night, O holy night,” the angelsings.
While we celebrate the birth of JesusChrist,
others celebrate the end of the year and thebeginning of something new.
Christmas morning, seated in church, I seesomeone
lost his Christmas spirit, for a smile is onthe faces of only a few
I hope my Christmas Spirit shines rightthrough
because what God has done for me I cannot explain.
He can surely do the same for you!
MEGAN SAMPSON
Christmas: season for giving?
Don’t moan, be happy!To the readers: All one ever sees on this letterand SMS page is moans and groans followedby more of the same. Here’s a challenge for
you all... how about for one week, everyonewriting a letter about being grateful for,thankful to or happy about something!
It’s not that difficult, really. If you are read-ing this, it means you are alive, and that’sa heck of a place to start!
“Be kinder than needs be, give more thanis needed and love without holding back.”
Happy holidays!RONELLE RHEEDERLakeside
SPCA: our local unsung heroesON Wednesday evening 30 November atabout 17:30 a gorgeous male border collie layexhausted outside my front door. Clearly hewas lost, extremely thirsty, hot and tired.
I thought I recognised him, as I walk mydogs daily. I decided to walk him in the areathat he may have come from, but no suchluck.
I rang the SPCA’s emergency number andwas greeted so warmly by a lady whose nameI did not get as there was some interferenceon the phone line.
As it was after hours and everyone had al-ready left this kind lady asked me to drop thecollie at their premises and said she wouldorganise someone to meet me there and takethe dog from me.
I could have waited for their van to collectthe dog from me but I decided to rather take
it through myself.The SPCA are compassionate about their
rescued animals!The wonderful hard work they do makes
me realise that these unsung heroes need tobe acknowledged more.
A special plea to dog owners: Over this fes-tive season, please if you have house sitterswho will be caring for your animals, makesure that they take time to get to know youranimals, because dogs can bolt if the gate isleft open by accident. Make sure dogs andcats are microchipped, and that they haveidentity tags and collars at all times. It makeslife easier for all concerned. SPCA, pleasekeep up the excellent work and a big thankyou for caring.DEBBIE CLARKMarina da Gama

Your SMSesA barking matter
. I agree: ban dogs from the beach. Oldpeople and children are at high risk.
. Why don’t dogs attack white children?Are they racist?
. I amso sickof people complainingaboutdogs. Do they think spoiled, screaming, pre-cocious brats are any better? Funny howthese people can never see how irritatingtheir children are. There are two sides toevery story.
Please train your children to treat dogswith respect. They won’t attack unless pro-voked.
. How can anyone hate animals? Chil-dren are more of a menace than animals!They should allow animals to be free andput children on leashes! Parents, controlyour kids.
In response. Renaming streets might make you feel
good about yourself but what about all thepoor, starving and unemployed people inour country? Do you not think the taxpay-ers’ money you are wasting could be put tobetter use, like feeding the starving and pro-viding people with housing? I ask you this:Can street names feed the hungry? Youshould rethink what you want to do, or may-be you don’t care about those who go with-out food for days.
. I think the late Bennie Kies should alsobe honoured for his fight against the apart-heid government. He was a teacher at Tra-falgar High School until he was banned.Then he became a lawyer and thereafter anadvocate. Fortunately, his wife, Helen, isstill alive for more information. Name astreet after him. Vivian Harris
. In response to the SMS about the cen-sus, I was not visited either, at least not be-fore 24 October, when I went overseas. Asfor a fine for not being counted, this is newsto me. I don’t remember seeing it in any ofthe information handed out.
. Wise words there, Mr Blake. These aremy sentiments exactly. These people reallydon’t do it for fun, they do it because theyare hungry! PG
By the way. I fully agree with Viewer about the poor
selection of DSTV programmes, I wish moreunhappy subscribers would object! Viewer2
. Many families are unaware aboutwhat’s going on with the national militaryveterans database. Some families don’tshare this information with one another.Some people were on the database a longtime ago. Must our fathers’ money then onlygo to certain family members?
. Does the military pension only pay outto the children who are alive or for the deadchildren as well? Where does the dead chil-dren’s money go? The department of mili-tary veterans must explain to the people.
. Healthy people pay top medical aid foryears but when they go on pension the samemedical aid does not give a pensioner’s rate!Most have to downgrade. Why?
. You are so wrong! Fireworks should bebanned because it is bad for humans and an-imals. Go light your crackers in China.
. South Africa is the only country in theworld where affirmative action benefits the
majority. The definition is wrong – call itaffirmative damage! Pat Knowles
Just a thought. Often, nannies walk with toddlers in
open strollerswithno shade for their young,fair skins. Parents, make sure your nannyunderstands sun protection!
. Can we please have the name of the per-son who is responsible for the safety of thepublic on beaches?
. A R100 reward will be given to anyoneable to help me find Wesley Ziebo andAmanda Jansen van Rensburg. Phone 082488 8350.
. Hell may have no fury like that of awoman caught cheating, but what about themen who cheat most of the time? I knew ofan old man who was dead jealous of hissweet, friendly, half-blind wife. When shecouldn’t see well enough, he would have hisfling around the corner. Is that fair?

Rocking the farmhouseTHE name Hog Hoggidy Hog
has been etched deep into theSouth African music scene.
It’s been over a decade of action-packed music, mischief and may-hem since the young hoglets firstblessed the decaying stage of thePurple Turtle with their debut per-formance. They have a few well re-ceived releases and a good numberof nationwide as well as Europeantours under their belt, havingshared the stage with top acts suchas Nofx, Mad Caddies and Lagwag-on. They may be somewhat moreprofessional, a bit more well knownand sounda lot tighter but it’s some-times still a struggle to keep singerGeorge Bacon’s clothes on.
The Rudimentals are an eight-piece ska/reggae band from Cape Town. The band’s re-
leases include two CDs, More Fire and SetIt Proper, and a live DVD/CD combo of the2007 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens con-
cert. The band is signed to the UnitedKingdom based Moon Ska World dis-tribution label. It is one of a handfulof Cape Town reggae-influencedbands, and has been described as aSouth African institution in touristguides and on websites.
Both of these bands will be preform-ing on Saturday 17 December at theCape Farm House, junction of the M66and M65 at the bottom of Redhill Road,3 Km past Scarborough.
Tickets cost R60 for adults, R50 forstudents and free for children under12. The concerts kick off at 15:30 until18:00. For more information visit thewebsite at: www.capefarmhouse.co.za
HOGGING AROUND: Hog Hoggidy Hog will be rockingthe Cape Farm House on Saturday 17 December.
South African ska/reggae band The Rudimentals.
‘Tallest man on earth’ in SAKRISTIANMATSSON, theSwedish sing-er songwriter, is a soft-spoken guy whostands somewhere around1,6m tall. Buton stage, he’s known as “The Tallest Manon Earth”, a name he’s earned with his“unforgettable live performances andone of the boldest, most captivating voic-es around”.
Following sell-out performances in theUK, Europe and Australia for his latestalbum tour “The Wild Hunt”, Matssonwill be coming to South African stagesfor the first time in February.
He will perform at two venues; first atthe CTICC in Cape Town on Friday 10February, and then in Johannesburg onSaturday 11 February at Joburg Theatre.
After releasing his album “ShallowGrave”, Matsson wrote and performedsongs on his second album “The WildHunt” in the months after touring withJohn Vanderslice and Bon Iver, garner-ing more fans along the way and rave re-views from the likes of Rolling StoneMagazine and Pitchfork, who praisedhim as “a natural-born folksinger, ear-nest, clever, and comforting”.
Matsson has often been compared toDylan and although his influences stillweave through some of his songs, hissound is undeniably authentic andunique. But it is Matsson’s passion on
stage that cuts deep into memory.The energy and raw emotion that
bleeds through all his performances ismesmerising.
He is a man with a story to tell and do-ing so with his exquisite music, unmis-takable gravelly voice, timeless melodiesand haunting lyrics, it is easy to see whyhe is called “The Tallest Man on Earth”.Tickets, between R275 and R350, areavailable via www.webtickets.co.za.

TURFHALL stadium wasfilled tocapacity for the firsttime in years, for the open-ing of the Softball JuniorWomen’s World Champion-ship (JWWC) on Wednesday7 December.
People’s Post is the mediapartner of the JWWC.
The international guestswere entertained by local tra-ditional dances and the SAPSmarching band; followed by amatch between South Africaand Botswana, which SouthAfrica won 6-5.
Apart from SA showinggood character on the field, lo-cals also showed how well pre-pared they can be for worldevents. With Africa and SouthAfrica hosting the JWWC for
the first time, there has beenpraise for the hardworking or-ganisers, volunteers and secu-rity. International SoftballFederation President Don Por-ter of US said: “We are all verypleased with the facilities. Thegames have been great up tonow and the beautiful weatherhas certainly been excellent.The organisers are doing asterling job.” Over the week-end South Africa had a battle,falling short of sealing anotherwin, but the support was andstill is growing as the days goby. ISF President Porter com-mented on South Africa’s per-formances and said: “SouthAfrica have made improve-ments since their last JWWCfour years ago, along withteams such as Russia, PuertoRico, Brazil, Botswana, andCzech Republic. For Puerto
Rico, Brazil, South Africa, andBotswana, to mention a few,this has only been their secondappearance, and it is fantasticto see how the sport is grow-ing, especially in Africa.” Peo-ple’s Post also spoke to SouthAfrica’s head coach, LesterSmith, asking about the posi-tives he could draw from thetournament.
“In a number of areas we arenot far off other teams, and Ican proudly say that our un-der-19 girls can competeagainst any team,” said Smith.
When asked about the wayforward for South Africa,Smith said: “I think for SA tobe truly competitive in soft-ball, softball should be seen asmore than just a social game.Club and school level need toup their game and we definite-ly need to strengthen our
pitching”.ISF President Por-ter said: “It really is hard tosay who will be in the final, be-cause it depends on who getsinto the play-offs. The currentchampions, US, are strong,Australia are good contend-ers, Canada have really playedsome great games and shownhow good they can be, as wellas Chinese Taipei, and thenthe Japanese always been thetoughest competitors for US,”he added.
The tournament continueswith eight games played dailyfrom 10:30, and the last gameat 19:30. The final game takesplace on Saturday 17 Decem-ber. Tickets cost R20 each andcan be bought at the Com-puticket stand at the field.South Africa plays New Zea-land at 19:30, so be sure to getyour ticket.
