Containerised crimeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Police have raised the alarmabout drug dealers usingshipping containers at the

Wynberg interchange for nefari-ous dealings.

They have questioned why somebusinesses have been allowed toflourish and operate as a “front fordrug dealers”.

During a walkabout on the inter-change last week, police told Peo-ple’s Post that when their vehiclesarrive, the alleged dealers just scat-ter. And this is exactly what hap-pened during the interview; a loudwhistle was blown and people werespotted running through the vari-ous tunnels.

A woman approached the offic-ers and confirmed that the menwho ran away are believed to bedealers.

Police spokesperson Warrant Of-ficer Silvino Davids says officersare puzzled by how some of the con-tainers are nestled in the buildingat the train station.

Davids says many of the menseen hanging around there havebeen arrested or are under investi-gation. These cases are as a resultof them being caught with drugs in-cluding tik, heroin, cocaine and ina few cases, dagga. “All of them areforeign nationals,” he added.

During the walkabout, one manwatched the actions of the officersintently, then ran away as People’sPost proceeded to photograph theinterchange.

“You see why are they runningaway? Why would they just notstay if they have nothing to hide?”one officer asks.

Davids says they have asked of-ficers to inspect the businesses atthe interchange during integratedoperations with Law Enforcementand Metro Police.

Police gave asked Law Enforce-ment to check the trading permits,but were informed that as the con-

tainers are on land owned by thePassenger Rail Agency of South Af-rica (Prasa), the City of Cape Townhas no jurisdiction.

“We would like to know if theseguys have leases and, if so, whatare the trading conditions,” Dav-ids asks.

City of Cape Town executive di-rector for Safety and Security Rich-ard Bosman says the interchangeborders on property belonging toPrasa.

“A number of containers as well

as informal traders are situated onPrasa’s property. City Law En-forcement does not have jurisdic-tion on private property as the In-formal Trading By-law is limited toCity-owned public spaces,” he ex-plains.

Bosman says in this case Prasais responsible for trading activitieson its land.

TOURISM MONTH

Catching Cape Town on the runNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As Tourism Month gets into full swing,Capetonians are encouraged to exploretheir city.

One tour guide is offering an alternativethat will be bound to quicken yourheartrate. Philippa Jephson offers sightsee-ing on the run – quite literally. Her uniquerunning tours give tourists a glimpse of eve-ryday life, taking them through some of themost scenic areas of the Mother City.The idea originated while Jephson was

working in Argentina. “I have always beenpassionate about travel, languages andmeeting people from different cultures andbackgrounds. A few years ago I was livingand working in Buenos Aires and I cameacross the concept of sightrunning as a wayof showing visitors to a city the sights in aunique, active, healthy and green way.When I came back to SA I decided to bringthe concept here,” she says.“With itsmild, sunny climate and extreme

natural beauty, CapeTown is the perfect cityfor getting people outside and seeing thesights, on the run. So I did a tourist guiding

course and started a small running tourcompany called Run Cape Town,” she says.

The bigger pictureRunCapeTownoffers individuals or small

groups a unique way of running toursthrough various parts of the city.Jephson has been named one of Cape

TownTourism’s remarkablewomen impact-ing on tourism in Cape Town.Tourism plays amajor role in growing the

local economy, as the city is a premier holi-day destination for international and do-mestic visitors throughout the year, says

Cape Town Tourism CEO Enver Duminy.“This in turn has given rise to a diverse

businesses landscape of tourism-relatedbusinesses. It has also opened up entrepre-neurial opportunities and skills develop-ment, and has made its mark on the qualityof life in Cape Town by encouraging lifestyledevelopment, investment and cross-sectorefforts to create a safe and liveable city.The economic value of tourism in Cape

Town is estimated to be over R12bn a yearand generates close to 35 000 permanent jobsas a result.Duminy says that women have been

drawn into tourism in large numbers, fromrunning a small B&B “to those that influ-ence the vision and direction of tourism inthe region”.“Our city and our industry is overflowing

with extraordinarywomen. From the every-day heroes bringing up their children to becompassionate community members tothosewhoare trailblazing and leadingus all,we salute women and the central role theyplay in tourism.”

Promoting a healthy lifestyle in GugsHowever, the company does slow down

once in a while to give back and createawareness, Jephson says.“The long-term goal for Run Cape Town is

to create job opportunities for previouslydisadvantaged individuals,who are runnersthemselves and are interested in becominginvolved in tourism,” she says.Run Cape Town has provided a freelance

job opportunity for theirGugulethu runningguide,VincentNtunja,who takes visitors onrunning tours of his home.While the running tour through Gugu-

lethu is available to anyone, a special run forlocals takes place on a Saturday morningevery month.“This has become a socially conscious and

wellness awareness-type activity thatbrings people from different communities ofCape Town together, through an activesporting activity, allowing interaction andsharing and an increased awareness of howdifferent people in our city live. It is also pro-moting a healthy and active lifestyle in Gug-ulethu,” she says.“Ifmore andmore people see us getting up

and running through the streets, peoplemaychoose not to jump in the ‘cockroach’ taxito get to the mall, but may decide rather towalk there, or even put on their runninggear and join us for a run instead of just sit-ting on the sidelines and cheering baleka!’as we run past.”Baleka is isiXhosa for run.Run Cape Town holds an annual Mandela

Day Run of 6.7km and collects blankets forcharity. This year they donated them to StAnne’s Homes in Woodstock.

Pupils battle against trafficMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Speeding cars and school chil-dren is a recipe for disaster.However, in Waterloo Road

this is an everyday occurrence. Af-ter two years of lodging complaintsand holding meetings, a Wynbergcouple are calling on the City ofCape Town to take urgent steps toensure the safety of pedestrians inthe area.Lindy and David Latham say

they are fraught with dangerwhilewalking their three daughters toSpringfield Convent every morn-ing.Despite road signs indicating the

presence of pedestrians and aguideline pedestrian crossing,Lindy and her children struggle tocross two double lanes.“We don’t know whether [the

signs] means cars have to stop, butyou often find that while one [mo-torist] stops, the other won’t,putting [pedestrians] at risk,” sheexplains.David says he first raised his

concerns in 2012 and a site surveywas conducted. It noted that thespeeds along Waterloo Road is un-acceptable, he explains.“We have been trying for more

than two years to get this im-proved, but the responses we getamount to ‘cars are more impor-tant than children’,” he says.According to City media manag-

er Priya Reddy, the crossing does

not require cars to yield and onlyserves to guide pedestrians whereit is safest to cross.But Lindy argues the City uses

accident statistics and fatalities todetermine which traffic-calmingmeasures to implement.“It doesn’t take into account the

amount of near misses and bumpswe have seen and –which I’m surewere never reported,” she says.As she approaches the school,

she points out that marshals havebeen employed by the school tostop traffic for the children tocross.But while walking back home,

cars continue to speed over thecrossing. One mother pushing aprammakes it to the pavement justin time as a speeding car zoomspass.Lindy says the biggest miscon-

ception from City officials is that

the couple are concerned abouttheir own safety.“But the safety of all pedestrians

and motorists is really the issue.They need to find a way to slow thetraffic or there will be a serious in-cident,” Lindy warns.The City did not answer People’s

Post’s questions, but in a statementReddy said initial investigationsshow that speed bumps and trafficlights are not an option. “This

route is a main thoroughfare andspeed humps would be inappropri-ate. In addition, any measure thatrequires cars to yield for pedestri-ans is considered dangerous as thevisibility of stationary vehicleswould be poor due to the layout ofthe road.”V Do you think cars drive too fast alongWaterloo Road?

PRINCESS VLEI

No change ’til 2017CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

The City of Cape Town has undertakento involve all stakeholders in futureplans for the natural haven that is

Princess Vlei.Concerns that the City may “bamboozle”

stakeholders came to the fore at the Prin-cess Vlei Forum’s (PVF) annual meetingearlier this month.The Princess Vlei saga has been well doc-

umented over recent years.Intersite Property Developers had ap-

plied to purchase the City-owned land in1996. The developer aimed to build a shop-pingmall and taxi rank at thewetlands. Butstrongopposition fromresidents andgreen-ies, as well as rezoning restrictions andlapses over the years led to the applicationeventually running aground.In March, the City announced it had de-

cided against selling the land and that itwill be working with PVF to ensure thepreservation of the land.At the meeting, PVF chairperson Philip

Bam said efforts to preserve the land arestill in progress. He further emphasised theorganisation’s main task in the next fewmonths would be to find a balance betweenit being a campaign organisation and astewardship organisation.“We want a firm [undertaking] from the

City with regard to their plan of action. Theland is still zoned for commercial use until2017,” he explained.The PVF also wants the land to be recog-

nised as a heritage site, Bam added.Mayoral Committee member for Finance

Ian Neilson says the current plan is to waitfor the current zoning to lapse, so that the

land can revert to its original zoning.“By the time a rezoning application is

processed and authorised, the current zon-ing will have lapsed. The section of the vleiin questionwill be planned andmanaged aspart of the larger public open space,” Neil-son explained, adding theCity is committedto involving stakeholders in developing fu-ture plans for the site.Another of the PVF’s objectives is to con-

vince the City to complete the walkwayaround Princess Vlei, Bam said.Mayoral Committeemember for Commu-

nity Services and Special Projects BelindaWalker told People’s Post the completion ofthe walkway forms part of the area’s devel-opment plan.“It form part of the precinct plan for this

area, which will include a public engage-ment process,” Walker confirmed.After meeting with the forum in the past,

Walker said the City shares many of the or-ganisation’s visions for the wetlands.“We expect that input from the PVF and

other stakeholders will be a significant in-formant to City departments’ thinkingaround a future spatial development andconservation framework for PrincessVlei,” Walker said.“We would like the involvement of these

stakeholders to include discussion on oper-ational and management issues, the explo-ration of possible quick wins for the areawhich involve changes in the current useof the operating budget and also the sourc-ing of external funding for interventions atthe vlei,” Walker says.The PVF also suggested the City avail a

budget for the management of the land, butNeilson said this will be only be awardedon merit.

Who wasthe skeleton?MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The autopsy on a skeleton found in thebasement of building in Wynberg re-vealed that the deceased was female.

The skeleton was discovered by a con-struction worker on Wednesday 20 Augustin the former social development buildinginMaynardStreet (“Skeleton found in base-ment”, People’s Post, 28 August).At the time police were unsure of its gen-

der but noted that an injury had been suf-fered to the head of the deceased. Theywereunsure whether the injury was as a resultof a blow to the head or a bullet.The remains were not clothed and no

clothes were found near the scene.Wynberg police spokesperson Warrant

Officer Silvino Davids says the autopsy de-termined that the skeleton is that of a wom-an in her late 30s or early 40s.“It also says there is a clear indication of

a bullet to the back of the skull,” he ex-plains.The police have gone through missing

persons records which correlate with thefindings but have no leads at this stage.They are now requesting anyonewho has

a missing family member or friend fittingthis description to come forward.“There is nothing which indicates the

identity of the woman and it appears theskeleton has been there for two years,” Dav-ids adds.V Anyone with information on the possible identityof the woman is requested to phone Captain Ivan Ma-clean on 079 894 0125.

Wise Owl Prepturns 30

FIONA VAN COLLER

Wise Owl Pre-Primary in Kirstenhofis turning 30 years old.

No other pre-primary school inthe area has been running for such a longperiod under the same owner.

Past pupils, who are now parents of thelittle ones attending Wise Owl, say the for-mula hasn’t changed. They remember fish-ing for the “dirty sock” at the birthday ringand coming home with cookies from bakingday on Fridays.

Many grown-up Wise Owls still haveclose friendships made from their earlydays at the pre-school.

When asked why she started Wise Owl,principal Karen Steinhofel – fondly knownby the children as Aunty Karen – says:“Wise Owl was born out of a combinationof necessity and love. A fellow teaching col-league Viv Gardiner and I realised thatthere was a need in the (then underdevel-oped yet growing) Kirstenhof and decidedto open a pre-school together. My husband,Otto set to work renovating our home andWise Owl was born.

“Word spread among the families in thearea, and we opened Wise Owl Pre-schoolin January 1984 with a full complement ofchildren – without ever advertising.”

Word of mouth continues to be the onlyadvertising for this pre-school which al-ways has a long waiting list.

Children from Muizenberg, Lakeside,Kirstenhof, Bergvliet and Tokai put their

babies’ names down at birth in order to getinto the school.

Karen continues to maintain an activerole in the school although she has movedfrom teaching to being the principal. “Ihave such fantastic teachers – MaruchiBotha and Bonnie Seinie with Cathi Chad-wick to support them. We only have twoclasses which makes the school small andnurturing. We make learning fun and ouraim is not just to prepare children for pri-mary school but to prepare them for life.”

The school still enjoys active involve-ment from the parents who are enthusiasticabout their children’s development. A keyelement to the school’s success is the loveKaren has for people. Her approach toteaching and learning reflects an emphasison developing healthy relationships andbuilding communities. There are mom’smosaic evenings at the beginning of theyear, dads paint T-shirts with their chil-dren, and numerous family events, sportsdays and concerts are organised.

Wise Owl Pre-Primary will hold a 30-yearreunion for all their past pupils who attend-ed between 1984 and 2014.

The reunion will be held on Saturday 20September at Wise Owl Pre-Primary, 37Pollsmoor Road, Kirstenhof.

The event times are 10:00 to 11:30 for pu-pils who attended between 1984 and 2008and 11:30 to 13:00 for pupils who attendedbetween 2009 and 2013.

The cost is R10 to be paid at the door tocover the cost of eats.

DIEP RIVER

Traders band togetherASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Secondhand goods dealers in Diep Riverare establishing a platform throughwhich they will be able communicate

with one another every day.This is to reduce the prevalence of people

selling stolen goods and preventing armedrobberies.

Six secondhand goods dealers who havebusinesses in Westlake, Diep River, South-field and Plumstead met at the Diep RiverPolice Station last week.

Warrant Officer David Brown of Diep Riv-er police says: “We have to look out for these

people as the goods they try to sell may bestolen and usually if they do not get to sellit at one place they move on to the next.”

One dealer explained a situation where afamily member will, for example, sell a bicy-cle and later on in the day another familymember will claim the bike was stolen andreport it to the police.

The bike is then taken from the second-hand goods dealer and they lose out finan-cially.

Brown says incidents like these are a regu-lar occurrence. He says that in such a case,the bike is supposed to remain in police cus-tody until it is presented for evidence in acourt case, but if the family member with-

draws the case the dealers can have the bikeback.

“There are many people who try and scamsecondhand dealers, but it is their duty toensure they have the proper documentationat hand when making a deal.

Dealers are advised to insist on asking theseller to provide them with their ID, a copycan then be made and kept on record in casethe item is reported stolen.

In this way, police will have the person’spersonal details to follow up on.

“We strongly advise all secondhand deal-ers to ensure that they adhere to the law ofthe Secondhand Goods Act to avoid gettingthe short end of the stick,” he says.

Acting station commander Major SandraJonathan says it is important for second-hand goods dealers to share information be-tween each other and with police, as in thisway crimes can be solved by establishinglinks between events.

“We have to keep on communicating withone another and I call on secondhand goodsdealers to attend this meeting where weshare vital information and knowledge ofour experiences.

And also to find solutions to the problemsexperiences by the dealers,” says Jonathan.V To share information with the police, phone(021)710 7367/25 or the sector vehicle on082 522 2625.

Luca drives for golfing stardomTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

Concentrating on that dimpledwhite ball balanced on the tee,Luca Filippi readies himself

for battle.With a smooth and effortless

technique he swings the driver,which smacks into the ball. Com-posed, he holds his driving stance,staring in the direction he hasgracefully despatched the ball.

It’s abundantly clear that this 15-year-old is completely at home onthe gently rolling hills of a golfcourse.

So much in fact, that the Ronde-bosch Boys’ High School (RBHS)pupil has been making a name forhimself in the competitive golfingworld over the last five years.

His most recent achievementwas being placed in the top 4 of theItalian Junior Open in Biella earli-er this month.

Luca has been playing competi-tive golf since the age of nine.

His interest was first prickledwhenhis father,Daniel introducedhim to the sport.

“My great-grandfather was agood golfer and my dad had anhandicap of two, so he has alwaysencouraged my interest in thesport,” Luca says.

“I love the game and always

strive to do my best. My dad is ahuge source of encouragement forme; he is my mentor. Both my par-ents are my greatest supporters.They are extremely proud of myachievements to date.”

Both his brothers, Stef and Fran-co are also keen golfers and RBHSlearners.

While Franco (Grade 10) dabblesin golf socially, Stef (matric) hasrepresented the Western Provinceu-18 team and plays from a handi-cap of five.

The Milnerton Estate residenthas notched up a number ofachievements throughout his bud-ding career – most notably beingthe top ranked under-16 golfer atthe Junior British Open in July,being selected for the WesternProvince and South African GolfAssociationunder-23 teams, his se-lection to the WP Elite squad forthe past four years and Ernie ElsFancourt Foundation, and hisplacement in the Italian tourna-ment.

He rates time at West Lancha-shire Golf Club in the Junior Brit-ish Open as his most memorableexperience on the course.

“My luckiest shot was at a tour-nament in India, I was two shotsbehind the leader and I knew Icouldn’t afford a mistake. So I‘teethed’ the balled over the green,

but it hit a board and shot back on-to the green instead of going intothe forest,” Luca jokes.

“This lucky shot meant I onlylost by one shot.”

The Milnerton Golf Club mem-ber also lists meeting South Afri-can golfing legend Gary Player asone of his favourite memories.

His short-term dream is to beplaced in the top five u-18 golfersin the country.

This accomplishment will earnhim his Protea blazer.

“I hope my golfing abilities willlead to me being offered a scholar-ship to university in Texas and Iwant to try to get onto the PGATour,” Luca explains.

“And, of course, I want to be thenumber one golfer in the world.”

He hopes to win all four majors– PGA Championship, Masters,US Open and British Open – beforethe age of 30.

But for now, the Grade 9 pupil istrying his best to balance his fa-vourite pastime and school.

“Academics and golf are equallyimportant to me. I try to juggle mytime as best as possible to achieveresults for my grades and on thegold course,’ Luca says.

“My family and school are verysupportive, but at the end of theday I still have to put in the workto achieve in both areas.”

SUPER-SWING: LucaFilippi (15) has a brightfuture ahead of him asa professional golfer.

Cricket meets academics at NewlandsCome January, one of the most famous

and picturesque cricket grounds in theworld will become home to a high

school.The Western Province Cricket Associa-

tion (WPCA), in partnership with Stone-fountainColleges, announced the opening ofNewlands Cricket High School last week.Stonefountain Colleges founder and direc-

tor Shaheed Shaik says the school willbroaden the platform for talented cricketplayers so that more players of value canproceed through the local cricketing system.“There are currently four very prominent

cricket schools in town, but disadvantagedplayers cannot afford to attend theseschools,” he says.“Therefore, the objective of the Newlands

Cricket High School management team is toarrange scholarships for nine players froma disadvantaged background, thus ensuringmoney is not the most important criteria

when deciding which players will be accept-ed at the top cricket institutions.”The school, which will be following the

provincial education department’s curricu-lum, will be accepting Grade 8 and Grade 9pupils for next year. The school will growwith a grade every year.“After five years, the school should have

at least 45 well-developed disadvantagedplayers vying for provincial selection onmerit, rather thanopting for the veryunpop-ular quota system,” Shaik, the school’s di-rector, explains.“The school will have a fully-fledged aca-

demic programme, but will fit the develop-ment of cricket skills into the daily pro-gramme.”According to the WPCA website, the

school will be housed in the Century Clubon the third floor of the southern end of thefield. It will also use the facilities of WesternProvince Cricket Club, which is a mere

stone’s throw away from the stadium.“Applicantswill be assessedby coaches on

the school’s staff in terms of their cricketability and only those players with an aboveaverage ability to play cricketwill be accept-ed.Players who show real potential but who

have fully not developed will also be consid-ered,” a statement reads.“Teaching staff will be registered with the

South African Council of Educators, whilecricket coaches will be at least Level Twocompliant coaches. The school’s core activi-ty will be cricket development and playerswill be exposed to the best possible pro-grammes, workshops and practice ses-sions.”The pupils will also be exposed to many

forms of cricket andwill playmatches in theWPCA schools and clubs competition.They will also tour the country and host

touring teams from around the world and

the rest of the country.“Players will not lose out on school work

as teachers will be touring with the players,ensuring that the academic programme con-tinues,” Shaik says.WPCA general manager Nabeal Dien

praises Shaik for his “forward thinking” interms of cricket development and education.“He is passionate about education and

more passionate about the game of cricket,”Dien says.“It is my contention that with his vast ex-

perience and passion for education andcricket, this initiative will provide a naturalfit for ensuring a successful cricket school.WPCA are excited about this initiative andits implementation, as we have always sub-scribed to these values of education, accessand opportunity.”V Anyone interested in joining the school can phone(021) 696 3612 or SMS 084 586 9488.
