Plans on hold for nowSTEFNI HERBERT
A FRESH attempt is being made to revivean improvement district in Pinelands.
To this end, the Pinelands Ratepayers’ andResidents’ Association is deferring theirplans by a year – to 2014 – in the hope moreresidents will come on board.
Roger White, association representativefor roads and traffic, says: “We no longer aimfor 2013, but instead for 2014. We did not re-ceive the response we wanted from the sam-ple response in that too few people responded.We simply bit off more than we could chew.”
For the improvement district to be estab-lished,White says theassociationwouldhaveto obtain the go-ahead from 250 Pinelands res-
idents, 75 visitors and 25 business owners.There was uncertainty around the input of
outsiders, to which White responded that “itis, in all probability, to see what outsidersthink of Pinelands”.
Association members felt visitors wouldnot need to pay for the service, while resi-dents raised concerns about the cost of imple-menting the improvement district.
“Everyone will have to pay,” says White,“but the levy will be determined according toeach residents’ house, because it will be add-ed to their rates. The cost will depend on the‘shopping list of services’ put together by thecommunity.”
Association chairperson John Berry says:“We are going to need an improvement dis-trict if we want to keep the area clean and
safe. Crime is like a yo–yo and the neighbour-hood watch, along with police, are experienc-ing thefts of motor vehicles, thefts out of mo-tor vehicles and house robberies.”
Harold Winearls, of the association, sayspeople should not leave their belongings inplain sight in the car, but should remove itor “at least lock it in the boot if they wouldn’tlike to become a statistic”.
Margaret du Toit says the empty propertiesposed a problem as they attract criminals andvagrants.
Du Toit suggested the community start asoup kitchen for vagrants at the police sta-tion. “If a school can collect bread and ingre-dients for soup kitchens, we should be ableto do something similar. If I am not mistakenthere are no churches in the area doing this.”
She says the closest organisation wherepeople can buy meal vouchers for vagrantsor a place to sleep is in Athlone.
Winearls cautioned against a soup kitchen,saying: “My church had a soup kitchen andpeople used to harass and threaten the peopleworking in it if they were closed on a specificday. We also started to see the copper disap-pearing. Certain people are opportunists andruin it for those who are genuine.”
It was proposed association membersspread information of the improvement dis-trict during a walk through Pinelands.

The lowdown onThe lowdown onair travelair travel
Dear reader,
Unlike most people, I amnot a fan of flying and havesuccessfully navigated myway out of air travel, both onthe business and personalfronts.
During my lengthy career,I’ve only risen to my chal-lenge of flying once; a worktrip to Jozi more than 10 yearsago. I’ve never been as nerv-ous.
Last week I encounteredflight again and the trip to Jo-hannesburg was a dream;smooth, ending in a fairlybumpy landing. The sedativeI’d taken beforehand helpedme survive.
The return journey was punctuatedwith turbulence most of the way. Somepassengers had their hands in their heads.Praying? Airsick?
I made no secret of my fears and despitebeing ensconced in the middle seat, franti-cally leafed through my trusted prayerbook for all of the two-hour trip.
Dinner and drinks did nothing to as-suage my rising panic and I couldn’t waitfor the flight attendants to remove thebothersome little meal that made me feeleven more caved in.
How can one eat while thousands ofmiles up in the air?
Easily, if the gus-to with which somepassengers tuckedin is anything to goby.
Airports are fasci-nating places, asmorgasbord ofworlds and culturesconverging for afleeting momentand dispersing asswiftly. There’s theseasoned executivetraveller, the well-heeled, the evident-ly business classtypes, the adventur-ers, the frequent fly-ers, the smart pack-ers, those prepared
for every eventuality...And if luggage is anything to go by; it
pays to invest in quality suitcases.The best part about travel is meeting
and engaging with new people, exchang-ing business cards and promising to con-nect across the continent.
My fear of flying is somewhat of a con-tradiction, as I’ve had two exciting heli-copter flips and am fearless when it comesto rollercoasters and other extreme carni-val rides. Perhaps this reminder will serveme well during my next trip, on Thursday;along with a healthy supply of calmingpills.
Closer to the ground, as the South Afri-can Weather Service warns of cold and wetconditions throughout the country, pleasespare a thought for those less privileged.Support blanket drives and any initiativesto bring relief to the poor who often go tobed hungry; and the homeless who are ex-posed to the elements night after night.
Every good deed counts, as Aunty GertieHartog who called me yesterday can vouchfor.
This wonderful lady, from Parkwood, isa mother to five and grandmother to 10,who still works part time to help supporther family. She called our offices yester-day to express her praise for all those whogive selflessly to others in need, while ac-tively campaigning to find work for herunemployed daughter. I love her initia-tive. And the cherry on the cake is thatAunty Gertie’s schedule clashes withmine, so while I am on deadlines Mondays,this is her only day to chat to me as it’sthe only day she has access to a telephone.Whether I like it or not, and regardless ofmy production demands, I’ll have to re-shuffle my Monday to accommodateAunty Gertie’s schedule. Any time,Ma’am.
Till next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

HAPPY HIKERS:As part of itsGrow Africa outreach initiative,Jenman Safarisin Newlandstook 18 pupilsfrom Lourier Primary School, inRetreat, on ahike throughKirstenboschGardens. “Manyof the childrenhad not visitedKirstenboschbefore and werevery impressedwith the beautyof the gardensand its openlandscapes, mountain views, flowing waterfalls and outstanding African sculptures. Even afterthe long hike through the contour path – which was quite strenuous for some – the childrengot an extra boost of energy once we reached the gardens. With so much beauty and incredibleopen space, it was impossible for a group of 12yearolds not to feel like running around,” saysSandra Falkenstein, director of the Jenman Grow Africa programme.

CIVIC organisations from acrossCape Town gathered at Ronde-bosch Common to scatter the ash-es of their municipal arrears.
The campaign, headed by MarioWanza from non-profit organisation,Proudly Manenberg, drew a 2 000-strong crowd on Monday night.
Residents from Hanover Park,Mitchell’s Plain, Manenberg and El-sies River marched from Mitchell’sPlain to Athlone Stadium, wherethey were joined by delegates fromoutside Cape Town for the mainmarch to Rondebosch Common yes-terday.
This marks the culmination ofmarches that have been held acrossthe city in a bid to have poor resi-dents’ electricity, water and rent ar-rears scrapped.
Wanza says a “cleansing” ceremo-ny was held at the Rondebosch Com-mon.
“We buried Apartheid and theDemocratic Alliance. We want to cel-ebrate and bring back the FreedomCharter. This is what we’ve beenstruggling for and it is yet to materi-alise.
“It’s 57 years now since the adop-tion of the Freedom Charter, whichgave us our political freedom. But westill have our economic freedom tofight for. People are starving whilegovernment and the rich live lavishlives. There is little equality in that.”
He says: “We chose to gather at theRondebosch Common as we need tobridge the divide between the richand the poor in this city. We need to
integrate the rich and the poor.“We will bury the DA because they
are no different to the Apartheid gov-ernment. The DA serves the inter-ests of the rich. Apartheid, whileabout race, was also about wideningthe divide between the rich and thepoor.”
The City of Cape Town has grantedan application for Communities forSocial Change – of which ProudlyManenberg is a part of – to gather atthe Rondebosch Common, but par-ticipants were not allowed to spendthe night there.
Wanza applied to the City to havethe two-day gathering, including asleepover, at the Rondebosch Com-mon in celebration of the FreedomCharter.
City spokesperson Kylie Hattonsays: “The City has strived to accom-modate all reasonable requests with-in the confines of the relevant legis-lation, and the City hopes and truststhat Mr Wanza will adhere to ap-provals granted in terms ofthe Gatherings Act.”
Wanza, the convenor ofCommunities for SocialChange, says a solid founda-tion to the organisation’splans for Rondebosch Com-mon will be laid at today’ssummit.
In January the plannedOccupy Rondebosch Com-mon campaign, headed byWanza, ended with 40 peoplebeing arrested on the com-mon for arriving at whatwas called an “illegal gather-ing” by police.
Cosatu who had previous-
ly joined the movement campaign-ing under the United DemocraticFront banner, has decided to sit outthis time around.
Provincial Secretary Tony Ehren-reich says: “While we have cam-paigned alongside them before,Proudly Manenberg has many allieswho campaign with them.”
Mayor Patricia de Lille had alsobeen invited to attend the cleansingceremony at the common.
Mayoral spokesperson, SollyMalatsi says: “The mayor could notattend due to prior commitmentswhich were finalised way before theinvitation from the organisationwas received.”

‘This is our land’STEFNI HERBERT
PROTEA Village land claimants have rea-son to celebrate.
The legal process to reclaim the land is nowover, residents heard at a meeting on Thurs-day.
Protea Village Communal Property Associ-ation chairperson Cedric van Dieman saysthis is “really good news for us because nowwe are able to move forward with developingthe land we claimed”.
The association, which claimed only va-cant land, were granted what they asked for.
Attorney William Booth initially legallyopposed the association’s claims on someland which residents use to walk their dogsand as a play area for children.
The Good Shepherd Anglican Church is onthe land, which is on the corners of Rhodesand Kirstenbosch drives.
Claimants believed a final attempt byBooth through the courts would create anoth-er hurdle for them being granted the landfrom which they were evicted.
But Ward 62 councillor Elizabeth Brunetteconfirmed the legal battle was over.
Brunette says this is the first time she isinvolved with the land claimants as the coun-cillor for the ward.
“I am deeply honoured and humbled at theopportunity to be a part of this process,” saysBrunette.
She listened as many former residentsshared stories of their life in Protea Village.
After hearing of how one of the claimantsused the E6 bus, she said with a quiver in hervoice: “We, in all probability, took the bus to-gether.”
Many claimants spoke about living in thearea, with their relatives working at theKirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
Some recalled how their parents wantedvery much to return to Protea Village, butmany have since died as the process of claim-ing back their land took too long.
Cecil McLean, one of the claimants, told
how he found out his family was being movedto Manenberg.
McLean says: “I stayed inProteaVillage for26 years and I have been away for 46 years.I was at work in Cape Town when my manag-er told me I have to go home.”
McLean did not go home because he felt heneeded to work the required hours. When theday ended, he went home to find his familyalong with others had been to relocated toManenberg.
“I did not know where Manenberg was.Friends in the area who were with me – whodid not know what had taken place – decidedwe would have to wait until daytime to go andfind our families,” says McLean.
McLean and his friends saw a van loadingfurniture. After discovering the van washeaded to Manenberg, McLean and hisfriends jumped onto the vehicle.
“We arrived in Manenberg and we had tofind our families, which we did relativelyquickly. After this happened to my family,many of the generation before me died withbitter hearts, because the people who didthem wrong never apologised,” says McLean.
The nostalgia continued when other claim-ants spoke about how some of the elderly peo-ple, who recently passed away, were still pre-pared to move back to Protea Village if theopportunity availed itself in time, but unfor-tunately did not make it.
Representatives from the Bishopscourtand Fernwood Residents’ Association lis-tened attentively as claimants regaled withmemories.
Van Dieman says: “We want peace and hap-piness. We want to come back to the placewhere we grew up and have fellowship withthe people who are here already.
“We think that some people may fear theirproperty value will drop if we move into thearea. We do not want that. We want to builddecent houses; houses which can match thevalue of the houses which are already there.”
Along with the houses, the associationwould like to have a retirement centre forwhich they will need financial backing.
They would also like to establish a museumwhich shows the rich history of the area.
Michael Worsnip, chief director for Resti-tution Support at the Regional Land ClaimsCommission, says he has not received officialnotice about the case.
He is, however, aware the deadline for pa-pers to be delivered by the opposing party inthe appeal has lapsed.
“The Commission has always believed thatthe legal process of appeal created an unnec-essary delay in the claim finalisation,” says
Worsnip. “We would rejoice with the claim-ants of Protea Village, if the way is now clearfor them to fully benefit from the land theywere deprived of and for which they havewaited for so very long to get back.”
He says some “pre-settlement steps” haveto be taken and a recommendation would goto the minister (of Rural Development andLand Reform, Gugile Nkwinti), which wouldhave the court order attached.
Attempts by People’s Post to reach Boothfor comment have been unsuccessful.

CHILDREN suffering from infectiousdiseases will benefit from an upgradedward at the Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital in Rondebosch.
The recently upgraded B1 ward was offi-cially opened on Tuesday 19 June.
Head of the Paediatric Infectious Diseas-es Unit, Professor Brian Eley says: “Thanksto everyone who played a part in the up-grading of the ward, we were very meticu-lous in the way we went about implement-ing these changes.”
The ward has not had an upgrade sinceit was first constructed in 1956. It has onlyhad the necessary maintenance done.
Minister of Health Theuns Botha was aguest at the ceremony and assisted in theribbon cutting.
Before speaking about the ward, Bothajoked about how lucky he is to have had anexcuse to not cycle with Premier HelenZille.
Botha says: “Having the partnership be-tween government and the public sector inthe upgrading of these wards is the goldenrecipe for success because government can-not do it alone.
“Many would not admit it, but it wouldtake government longer to get somethingdone because of all the red tape.”
The upgrade of the ward cost the provin-cial government and the Children’s Hospi-tal Trust R13,6 million to complete. Spon-sors include corporations, guardians of theTrust and independent donors.
Chairman of the Trust, Spencer McNallysays: “I am delighted to be here at this aus-picious occasion, we have only one ward
remaining to be upgraded. I sense a desper-ate need to find projects – all the hard issueshave been dealt with, now we’re looking forsofter issues.”
McNally added that the upgraded ward isone of the busiest in the hospital as it treatsmany HIV positive children along withchildren suffering from tuberculosis.
The hospital is internationally renownedbecause of the procedures done by its clini-cians who specialises in paediatric care.
Doctor Lungi Linda, CEO of the hospital,has only been in the position for two years,but knew she would need to “hit the groundrunning” once she started.
Linda says: “It has not been easy becauseI started while there were many upgradesin progress at the hospital, but I have takenthe experience thus far as a serious learn-ing curve.
“I am proud to be part of this hospital andto have shared in the successes we experi-enced together.”
Prior to the upgrade, the 37-bed ward stillgave patients the best service and providedexcellent education to staff and parents.
The new ward boasts 32 general wardbeds and carefully planned high-care facili-ties.
Eley says: “Planning the upgrade was ameticulous task. It started out with con-structing a narrative – stating what wewant to have included and excluded andhow we need it done.
“Amajor concernwas theventilation sys-tem because we are dealing with infectiousdiseases and we looked into this quite seri-ously.”
Older children who are recovering wereconsidered as well with a new play roomand a terrace to “kick a ball”.
Eley says the hospital took parents intoconsideration as well, because they spendmany hours at their children’s bedsides.
“There are special chairs in the wardswhich convert into beds, because for par-ents to support their sick children theyneed to rest as well,” says Eley.
Additional communal facilities include akitchen area, a recreational area and bath-rooms with showers and lockers.
Fundraising for the upgrade of the lastward, the B2 ward, is currently underwayand is scheduled to commence in the nearfuture.

Schools out?THE Western Cape Education Departmenthas put 27 schools on notice of imminent clo-sure.
The reasons for the threat of closure arepoor academic performance, a dwindling pu-pil numbers and a high drop-out rate.
Some of the schools have received notifica-tion that they have to improve their pass rate.Failing this, a decision will be made in Sep-tember to close the schools by the end of thisyear.
Principals at some of the schools have saidthe failure rate is as a result of pupils beingtaught in second and third languages. Manyof the pupils speak isiXhosa, while their lan-guage of instruction is English.
One way to address this problem, and tohalt schools closing, is for the education de-partment to introduce isiXhosa as a languageof instruction to schools with a predominantXhosa pupil base.This suggestion, say princi-pals, has fallen on deaf ears.
Education is key to establishing South Afri-ca’s success as a global player in all spheres,including the financial and academic sectors.
Questions remain over whether outcome-based education does have merit. How willclosing schools benefit pupils who may al-ready be hamstrung by receiving their in-struction in a second language?
The department’s refusal to officially re-lease the names of these schools was so as notto pre-empt the outcome of any decision.
Parents of children at the 27 schools havea right to question where to from here. Shouldthese schools close, alternative arrangementshave to be made for pupils using public trans-port.
A country that is seeing many of our quali-ty teachers outsourcing their skills to foreigncountries may see a greater siphoning of thisresource.
Meanwhile, the 4 000 pupils and about150 teachers who will be affected by schoolclosures will have to be absorbed elsewhere.
Plans going nowhereI HAVE been a resident in Lit-tle Mowbray for 66 years andto those residents who are pan-icking about plans to widenDurban Road, I say “calmdown!”
Regularly during these 66years have I heard about these“plans” which have never ma-terialised and I doubt everwill. Many years ago, a housein Durban Road was acciden-tally burnt down and instead
of being rebuilt, the site wascleared for “the widening ofDurban Road”. Several yearslater, on the same side of theroad another house was demol-ished. Yes, you have guessed it,to make way for the wideningof Durban Road. Here we are in2012 and Durban Road looksexactly as it did in 1946. So stopworrying, you okes!JEAN MILLERMowbray

Elderly stand up for their rightsTHE organisation Age-in-Ac-tion embraced the World ElderAbuse awareness Day cam-paign six years ago when IN-PEA launched the day.
Many stakeholders felt thislaunch was long overdue asmany older persons were notbeing treated with the dignityand respect they so deserved.
On 15 June every year ouroffices countrywide literallytake to the streets to commem-orate the day and sensitisecommunities on the invalua-ble role of older persons in so-ciety. Despite the efforts of na-tional and international NGOsand governments to create
awareness on the value of old-er persons and their humanrights, all too often they aremistreated and forgotten.
Many older persons foughtthe fight for liberation, yetthey are still bound by theshackles of poverty, abuse andneglect.
Instead of enjoying their twi-light years, many older per-sons are living in fear of vic-timisation, abuse and neglectoften at the hands of unscrupu-lous family members.
This year the world againcelebrated World Elder AbuseAwareness Day on 15 June andour message to South Africans
is that it is not OK to abuse old-er persons.
Since we started our aware-ness campaigns six years ago,more than26 000 olderpersons,scholars and toddlers partici-pated in marches on WorldElder Abuse Awareness Daysto highlight the plight of olderpersons.
Forms of abuse are physicalabuse; emotional or psycholog-ical abuse; financial or materi-al abuse; social and/or physi-cal isolation; passive neglect;self-abuse or self-neglect; sexu-al abuse; and violation of hu-man rights.CHARLOTTE FAIRBRIDGE
Your SMSes. Was the Steers special on the ribburger a wacky ploy to attract peo-ple to purchase other burgers orwas it total bad planning by man-agement. Pinelands Steers ran outof burgers at 10:30, shortly afteropening. Loyal customers were notoffered an alternative, but weremerely turned away by the cashiersaying “all burgers are sold out”.The manager was not there. I wait-ed an hour and a half for four burg-ers. Now that’s “fast food”.
. Regarding the Princess Vlei ar-ticles: I think a mall is a great idea.People are protesting against it, butyet they dump their rubbish there.If there was a mall, it means moreopportunities and employment. SoI don’t see why it’s a big deal.
. Shopping mall at Princess Vlei:can a website please be providedwhere all of us in favour of the mallcan give our vote? Measuring up allthe pros and cons will make the ma-jority of people actually in favour ofthe mall. The fact and reality is thatPrincess Vlei is in a permanent use-less state because of pollution andcrime. The mall will improve theriverside – imagine wooden deckswhere you can lunch while watch-ing the bird life – create jobs and re-tail. The suggestion from thoseagainst the mall to refurbish theland and recreational space will notsolve the problem with pollutionand safety. The area will still be use-less. The entire action against themall is instigated by local businessowners – for selfish, self-servingreasons. And their poor supportersare unaware of this. Please providea website where those for the mallcan vote. This will provide a realis-tic picture of public opinion on thismatter. M du Plessis

The high cost of medical careTONY ROBINSON
EXCEPT for the Karoo dentistwho wanted to pull out all myteeth, my encounters with themedical profession have general-ly been positive and successful,but I can’t say the same about thelegions of accountants and theirassistants who have realisedthat there is a good living to bemade by taking charge of theflow of money between patients and doc-tors.
These entrepreneurs are generally foundrunning the private hospitals, medical aidfunds and hospital plans. Unfortunately,
their first loyalty is to their share-holders and not the patients, sothe more things cost, the moremoney flows through their booksand themorehandsome thebonusat the end of the year.
So in a world where the wholeeconomic system is based on thebelief that competition makesthings better and cheaper, wehave an area where competitionis effectively banned and the actu-
aries and accountants have restructured the“industry” to make things more expensive. Ithas been like putting the purchasing depart-ment on commission!
Having just spent four days in a generalward of a private hospital at R2 600 a day plus
the rest (the account was more than R30 000),I fully expected to see the corridors patrolledby accountants with clipboards looking formore items to put on the bill. But no, thatwouldbea little too close to thebloodandgoreand the small risk that the money men mightstart thinking about patients instead ofshareholders. And we can’t have that.
It all got me thinking that we need a betterway to measure the performance of medicalservices. One of the traditional ways is thedoctor-patient ratio.
In an advanced country like the UnitesStates there is roughly one doctor for every400 patients while in a poor African countryone doctor has to look after thousands. InSouth Africa the ratio is one doctor per 1 300patients, though it is a lot lower in the citieswhere life is more comfortable for the aver-age medical man or woman.
In the TV drama House, the ratio seems tobe about five doctors to a patient though they
do change patients each week.So a low ratio tells us that medical services
are readily available but if the ratio is too lowthe risk of passing patients around for secondopinions or unnecessary operations does in-crease. Got to keep your colleagues in busi-ness!
What would be a lot more useful would bea ratio of the number of accountants and theirlittle helpers in the field to the number of doc-tors. To be more precise, the total number ofnon-medical staff in hospitals, medical aidfunds and hospital plans compared to thenumber of doctors who do the real work.
Wemight evengoas far as apie chartwhichshowshowmuchof every rand spent onmedi-cal bills actually goes to medical workers andhow much goes to the accountants, share-holders, sales staff, advertising agencies, pro-motion budgets and even TV commercials forone mercenary hospital group.
It could be quite a shock!

Girls have a heart for rhinosGirls have a heart for rhinosSTEFNI HERBERT
A GROUP of high school teens will stepout of their comfort zones – to help therhinos.
The pupils – seven Rustenberg Girls Highschoolers and 10 boys from RondeboschBoys High and Sacs – will strap up theirboots for a mountain hike and communityservice.
They leave for a trip to Uganda on Sundaywhere they will take part in the World Chal-lenge, which was introduced to the pupilsby teachers last year.
The challenge involves working in a com-munity close to Mount Elgon, which bor-ders Uganda and Kenya; and hiking toWagagai, which, at 4 321 metres, is the high-
est summit of the mountain.One of the girls, Aimee George, says: “I
live a comfortable life. I’m privileged andwhen I heard about it I decided to get in-volved. When learning about a challenge ofthis nature, many always think ‘someoneelse will do it and I will let someone else doit for me’.”
Emma Bergh says they will build a class-room at a school during their stay in Ugan-da. “We’re taking a few items for the girls,such as hair accessories.”
The public can sponsor the cause withfunds raised going to the Wilderness Foun-dation to help save the dwindling rhino pop-ulation.
Karla Lützeler, Laura Hartmann, Stéph-anie Pereira, Robyn Smith and Ashley Gar-diner make up the remainder of the girls’
group. They will team up with the boys andteachers from Rondebosch Boys and Sacswill accompanying them.
One of the teachers, Illona du Toit of Sacs,says: “The children have to do everythingthemselves.”
The responsibilities within the group willbe divided among each person in the group.These include taking care of finance, trans-port, food, accommodation and the materi-als to build the classroom, says Du Toit.
After arrival in the Uganda capital Kam-pala, the team will travels to the mountainwhere they will spend time in the communi-ty.
World Challenge, a UK organisation,made the arrangements for the trip lastyear.
Du Toit says the organisation usually “ar-ranges for people to do the challenge inSouth Africa, but they haven’t actually ar-ranged for our people to go somewhere elseto do the challenge”.
TREKKING: Emma Bergh, Karla Lützeler, LauraHartmann, Stéphanie Pereira, Aimee George, Robyn Smith and Ashley Gardiner are excited at theprospect of hiking up Mount Elgon in Uganda.

Beefup for watchA NEIGHBOURHOOD watch is dressed for the job– thanks to a sponsorship by a private securityfirm.
HarLyn Neighbourhood Watch members took pos-session of handheld radios, reflective bibs and decalsfor vehicles.
The four-year-old community safety initiative alsoreceived financial and administrative support.
Damien Mocke, chairman of the HarLyn Neighbour-hood Watch, says the organisation has 13 dedicated pa-trollers.
“We regularly monitor the areas of Lynfrae and Har-field Village between Kenilworth and Keurboom roads.We’re expanding our patrols into the area between Bel-vedere Road and the M5, including Kenilworth indus-tria.”
Mocke says their partnership with the private secu-rity firm is critical to the success of the watch as radiosare essential for the efficient functioning of the watch,especially for patrollers who are alone.
The neighbourhood watch is especially thankful toIain Williamson, ADT’s community security liaisonmanager, who made this possible.
ADT regional managing director Rob Dale says thecompany is glad to be of assistance to a group tryingto improve the overall safety of their community.
“It is inspiring to see residents of a community cometogether to contribute towards making their suburbsafer for all who live in it. We would encourage anyonewho want to be part of similar efforts to join their localneighbourhood watch,” says Dale.
Call Mocke, of the HarLyn Neighbourhood Watch, on0 083 443 1977 or 2 [email protected].
TRY OUT: HarLyn Neighbourhood Watch members fit the new reflective bibsand other goods donated by a private security company.

NEXT WEEK a talented youngsquash player will take the big-gest step in his fledgling careerwhen he represents South Afri-ca at the World Junior SquashChampionships.
The championships, whichtake place in Qatar from Satur-day 7 to Wednesday 18 July, is thebiggest youth squash tournamentin the world and sees playersfrom 23 countries take part.
Luke Willemse (16) fromRondebosch, is one of the SouthAfricans who will take part in theprestigious event and says thatqualifying is easily his greatestachievement in the sport thus far.
“I’m happy to be selected. I hadto do well in the nationals and theHi-Tek Schools Closed to actuallybe considered for selection.
“The All Africa Games and theSouth African National JuniorChampionships are almost like abuild-up to worlds. We want to do
well for selection and we obvious-ly like the match play and thematch practice for worlds. I thinkit’s the biggest thing I haveachieved so far – definitely.”
Willemse has played the sportsince he was seven-years-old andhas already reached several othermajor landmarks in his competi-tive career.
The Cape Town InternationalSchool student is currently thetop ranked player in South Africain his age group, and has been thetop-ranked player in the WesternCape in every junior age groupavailable.
Willemse has played at the AllAfrica games, in every BritishJunior Open for the past fouryears, and spent a year at a topEnglish school on a scholarship.
He also plays in the top leagueof Western Province squash andhas been selected to take part inthe Junior Championships, atournament for U19s, despite be-ing only 16-years-old.
He has set his sights on making
it to, at least, the round of 16 atthe Junior World Champion-ships.
“I have actually looked throughthedraw. Ihavequite agooddraw– an unseeded player first andthen I play a seeded player.
“There are six rounds and I’mhoping to get to the third roundat least.”
Willemse adds that he hopes toplay the sport professionally oneday, but one of his more immedi-ate goals is beating his olderbrother Rudi, who is the topranked U23 player in South Afri-ca and is ranked 7th at senior lev-el.
“I have always played with himand I think one of my goals wouldbe just to actually beat him. He’smy brother, but I want to beathim and I think that would be oneof the stepping stones.
“When we play these days hewins. He still beats me 3-0, but thegames are getting closer and clos-er.”
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT: Luke Willemse (in front) practices with Dean Nortier(16) from Camps Bay, at the Western Province Cricket Club squash courts.

Club struggles to stay afloatLIAM MOSES
THE oldest amateur football club in SouthAfrica is in danger of closing down afterbecoming a target for criminals and rack-ing up excessive debt.
Clyde Pinelands FC, formed in 1898, cur-rently owes about R167 000 in water, electrici-ty and rates bills and claim they cannot paythe debt due to a lack of income.
The club has also been vandalised and bur-gled on a number of occasions recently be-cause their clubhouse and fields are easily ac-cessible.
According to Spencer Curtis, the club’svice-chairperson and acting chairperson, thedebt is the biggest threat to the club’s surviv-al at this stage. “If nothing happens and theCity of Cape Town holds us to the accountthey could perhaps take the club to court andcould shutdown the club ,” said Curtis.
“I don’t know what the legal implicationsare, but if they want to take it further theycan.” Clyde Pinelands claims to have ap-
proached the City – through phone calls,emails and once in person – for help withmaintaining the facility but said they havebeen denied because Pinelands, the areawhere they are situated, is recognised as anadvantaged” area by the government.
Curtis says that although the club is situat-ed in a relatively affluent area, around 85 per-cent of their players come from historicallydisadvantaged areas.
“We had folk coming in here from less afflu-ent areas over the years. There are very fewpeople fromPinelandsplaying forClydePine-lands Football Club,” says Curtis.
“The guys come from Kensington, Langa,Bishop Lavis, Garden City, and as far asKhayelitsha.
“What they have done is depleted the club’sresources, in that they wouldn’t pay fees. Andhow do you turn children away? But becauseof all the subsidising we are now left with thismess.”
According to Curtis the club has not re-ceived any membership or registration feesfrom most of their players because they can-
not afford to pay.Curtis says the team clubhouse has also
been burgled several times in recent months.The club’s refrigerators have been stolen,
several toilets and sinks have been smashedfor their metal parts, metal piping has beenremoved from the building and copper elec-trical wiring has been stolen.
The club claims to have requested that theCity cut their lawns and help them erect gatesand fencing around the property, but that therequests have been denied.
Curtis says the City currently providesthese same services to Kensington FootballClub.
“The council has never contributed anyfunds towards the club because this is classi-fied as a white area.
“I know folk at Kensington Football Club;I’m involved with folk there as well. Theyhave beautiful fencing around their fields,which are cut by the council. Their clubhouseis maintained by the City.”
However, the City claims that these servic-es are only provided at sports fields owned
or leased and managed by the City itself.The Clyde Pinelands ground is leased from
the City by the club and the club is requiredto maintain it.
Councillor Tandeka Gqada, Mayoral Com-mittee Member for Community Services,says the area where the field is located doesnot matter.
“These services areprovided to sports facil-ities regardless of the location of the sportsfield or historic background of the users,”said Gqada.
“As far as Clyde Pinelands is concerned,the club (the lessee) has a lease agreement forthe facility. The lease agreement states clear-ly that the lessee is expressly responsible formaintenance at the facility.”
Gqada added that the City has a set of mini-mum maintenance requirements and thatthese are implemented and managed by theCity.
Curtis says that the club will start a fund-raising drive after “internal politics”in theexecutive committee have been sorted out.
