CPFs split onsafety planLIAM MOSES

COMMUNITY Policing Fo-rums around Cape Townhave reacted to news that

they will soon be able to exercisea small amount control over theCity’s law enforcement depart-ments.

Alderman J P Smith, chairman ofthe mayoral committee (Mayco) forsafety and security, said that fromnext 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 theprogramme was to help improvethe partnership between CapeTown’s law enforcement agenciesand CPFs, and to make better use ofthe limited resources available tothe City.

“What I want is an accountabilitymechanism, where the communitycanholdmystaff accountable,” saidSmith.

“I want them to be able to assignspecific duties and priorities to thetraffic law enforcement and metropolice. So we are giving them a timesheet and every day they can allo-cate a priority to each one of theseservices. The following month mystaff must then report on what theyhave done.”

The programme is still in its de-velopmental phase and the finer de-tails will be worked out in Januarynext year when Smith and the restof the Safety and Security Maycomeet with CPF heads.

However, Smith envisions that itwill involve the CPF leaders meet-ing with a metro police and trafficservices representative and thenfilling in a timesheet to say howwhat they would like the law en-forcement officers to concentrateon.

Smith believes that the city, CPFsand the neighbourhoods they servewill 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 timesheetwith what they want the law en-forcement to do and the staff thenwill report back at the next meetingon what stats were generated, andwhat happened, and what theyfound there,” said Smith.

“For the city, the plus side is thatwe won’t be just sitting with thecommunity ‘shotgunning’ a largelist of requests. At the CPF meet-ings what usually happens is thatone person will say this and anoth-er will say that. And you end upwith a list of about 20 things that arepriorities and that you have to beresponsible for, and, quite frankly,you end up not being responsiblefor any of them.

“The benefit for the city is that itwill compel the CPF to exercise itsmindonwhat thepriorities are, andto allocate the resources availableto them accordingly.”

Senior CPF leaders in Cape Towndo not all share Smith’s confidencethat the project will help to reducecrime in their areas, or improve co-operation between themselves, theCity’s law enforcement agenciesand the police.

While some welcomed the move,others criticised it heavily.

Hanif Loonat, chairperson of theWestern Cape Community Policeboard, was ecstatic upon hearingthe news from the People’s Post.

“I’m lost for words. If that’s whathe (Smith) told you then he needsto be applauded for taking such astance. He is now coming to thesame page,” said Loonat.

“That is what we have been ask-ing for all along – (for the city) tostart using the CPFs. CPFs legallyrepresent their communities. Weare excited that he has decided touse us as his partner.

“We appeal to him to let this bea lasting relationship, and one that

befits our communities.”But Michael Jacobs, Mitchell’s

Plain cluster CPF chairperson, saidhe 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 systembreaking down.

“The plans that JP Smith put onthe table are not attainable. I don’tthink they will be fully realised,”said Jacobs.

“When it comes to law enforce-ment, they (the Metro Police) don’thave the powers to investigatecrimes and they don’t have the pow-er to take the suspects to court.They have to hand the suspects tothe SAPS.”

“That calls for greater co-opera-tion between law enforcementagencies, which is the ideal situa-tion, which to my knowledge isn’tcurrently happening. Everybody ishaving their own little operations.”

Cassiem Christians, AthloneCPF’s chairperson, criticised theCity’s law enforcement for theirpast failures, but welcomed the

move if it resulted in more co-opera-tion between the city and CPFs.

“We welcome the fact that therecan be a much closer working rela-tionship between the CPFs and thecity law enforcement,” said Chris-tians.

“If we can have this particularclose relationship we can make theimplementation 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 along-term basis how we are going todeal with not only crime, but withcrime prevention.”

The programme will also giveteeth to neighbourhood watchesaround the city, by training and ap-pointing some of their members asfully-fledged metro police reserv-ists. Smith said that the reservistswould be embedded in the neigh-bour watches they came from oncethey had completed the trainingand passed all necessary tests.

Theofficerswould thenbearmed,legally be allowed to conduct searchand seizures and would be able tomake arrests.

New kids arerocking the blockTAURIQ HASSEN

THE Santam District Six Entertainersmay be new kids on the block, but theyare certainly proving a force to be reck-oned with.

Last week, People’s Post featured one ofthe oldest minstrel teams, in the form of thePennsylvanian Crooning Minstrels, “Topteam aiming for top prize (Tuesday 29 No-vember)”, which incorrectly indicated theywere the reigning champions.

However, the real winners were in factSantam District Six Entertainers, whowalked away with the 2011 Carnival Trophyfor the second time in their six-year history.

Early in 2005, a group of individuals withover 50 years of minstrel experience behindthem saw the need for a minstrel team to beoriginated in the very place the minstrelsculture began, District Six.

“The vision of this team is to become oneof the best entertaining klopse culturalgroups promoting the klopse culture andlensuring a klopse legacy,” says Mallick

Laattoe, owner of the troupe.In their first year, the troupe “rewrote the

history books” by becoming the first troupeto walk away with the highest honours intheir debut competition.

The team obtained first prizes in Englishand Afrikaans Moppie, Junior Drum Major,Juvenile Sentimental and Best Board. Theyreceived second prizes in English CombinedChorus, Adult Drum Major, Grand MarchPass, Exhibition, Juvenile Combined Cho-rus, Minstrel Song and Adult Sentimental.They also received third prizes for Afri-kaans Combined and Senior Best Band.

In total, the troupe clinched 14 of the 16 tro-phies up for grabs, justifying the statement,“Our record speaks for itself”.

For around four years, the troupe couldsmell the sweet scent of victory, but failedto lift the coveted Carnival Trophy, alwaysending up second – until last year.

But they did walk with first prize in sixvarious categories in the last six minstrelcompetitions.

“We set ourselves attainable benchmarksand through consistent communication andnetworking, this was achievable,” says Laat-toe.

Over thepast year, theminstrel troupehasbecome involved in social upliftment of thesociety, particularly the youth. It aims toprovide youngsters with viable alternativesto the social ills facing the community.

The troupe successfully launched a schoolfor those interested in brass bands, and thisnow has more than 80 members.

Speaking on the upcoming competition,Laattoe said: “The task ahead is much great-er, being crowned champions and maintain-ing the statue in the klopse fraternity is adaunting task, but we are up for it.”SantamDistrict Six Entertainers are based at the Bo-Kaap Civic Centre and are firm favouriteswith the local residents.

“We are 100% geared up for the comingseason. “Our slogan is ‘Impossible is nothingD6’ and this we emulate throughout ourpreparation and during the carnival,” Laat-toe concluded.

Did you know that a tap dripping once per

second canwasteup to30 litres per day,which is

more than10000 litresperyear?

Hundreds of seals die along coastLILLIAN AMOS

ABOUT 100 dead seals washed upon Strandfontein beach on Friday9 December.

The stretch of beach along Baden PowellDrive was strewn with seals from Sunrisebeach all the way down past Strandfontien.

Another 300 were washed up along theKommetjie Coastline.

Brett Glasby of SPCA says it is not unusualfor dead seals to wash up this time of yearin Cape Town.

“We have it every year.“This year, though, there were more car-

casses than usual, which can be attributedto the extreme wind conditions.

“Many cubs don’t survive due to differentreasons like not being able to swim.

“The swell of water probably washed allthe dead pups off Seal Island and the extremewind conditions contributed to them endingup on the Baden Powell stretch and at Kom-metjie.”

Earlier this week the South African

Weather Service issued a weather warningof rough seas with wave heights from 4-6 me-tres between Cape Columbine and Pletten-berg Bay.

According to a marine scientist specialis-ing in mammals at the Oceans and CoastBranch of the Department of EnvironmentalAffairs, seal pups are vulnerable duringhigh winds and very rough sea conditionsas they can be easily washed off Seal Islandand find themselves in distress if they can’tswim, which ultimately results in death.

According to Disaster Management’s Jo-hannes Solomons-Johannes, the City’s Dis-aster Risk Management Centre and SolidWaste Management Department cleared upmost of the beaches on Friday.

An appeal is made to members of the pub-lic to be vigilant when swimming, boating,kite surfing and/or canoeing/paddle skiingalong the False Bay coastline since the massstranding of seals has resulted in the in-crease of shark activity at Muizenberg, Si-mon’s Town, St James and Fish Hoek beach-es. The shark spotters have hoisted red flagsalong these shark spotting beaches.

Robbers steal diamond ringA BERGVLIET woman was lefttraumatised after two menforced their way into her Farm-side Complex home on Friday 9December at 21:00.

They bent burglar guards and en-tered through the bathroom win-dow. They then confronted thewoman and forced her to hand overa diamond ring and other jewellery.One of the robbers was very shortand the other quite tall and thin.

The tall one ransacked the premis-es while the short one kept thewoman in the bathroom for approx-imately 20 minutes. The tall onespoke in Afrikaans to the short one.The short one spoke to the residentin English. Eventually they left andthe woman fled to neighbours, whoalerted police.

Police believe this robbery couldbe linked to another in Perth Road,Tokai, on Wednesday 7 December.SAPS detectives are following up

possible links..Police are appealing to the com-

munity not to encourage opportun-ists to break into vehicles. CaptainAJ Venter from Wynberg SAPSsaid there was a spike in “theft outof motor vehicle” cases.

“We are surprise to hear that peo-ple keep reporting valuables – lap-tops, cameras, cell phones, jacketsand other items – being stolen outof there vehicles and that these val-uables were lying in the vehicle in

plain sight.”“It is really seldom that we hear

of valuables taken from a boot of acar. Please help SAPS and don’t en-courage opportunists to break intovehicles.” said Venter.

Police say residents going on hol-iday or leaving their premises fora day or two should contact their lo-cal police.

“The information will be addedinto a register specifically for thispurpose. Officers of Saps will visitand patrol the area while you are onleave. When you return from holi-day, just inform SAPS.”

.Venter also gave tips on how to

keep safe when withdrawing alarge amount of money. “Contactthe bank manager to make arrange-ments. Take somebody with youwhen going to the bank and be onthe lookout for suspicious lookingpeople and vehicles. Don’t take thesame route home and if you thinkyou are being followed, let the pas-senger phone the nearby police sta-tion or 10111. You can also drive tothe nearest police station.”

. “If you have an alarm systemat home or in your vehicle, pleasemake use of it and activate it whenyou leave your premises or the ve-hicle,” he added.

Blocked drains are costlyTHE City of Cape Town incurs around R60

million annually to clear sewer blockag-es, which are primarily caused by buildingmaterial.

Sand, blocks, bricksarebeingdumped intodrains, sewer gullies and broken stack pipes.

This results in damaged infrastructure,sewage overflows and exposure to unhealthyconditions.

In an attempt to eradicate this problem,the Water Pollution Control Unit of the Wa-ter and Sanitation Department encouragesthe public to report sewer manholes that arenot fitted with a suitable covers.

Also, builders are asked to:. Immediately report broken or missing

drain covers and gully grids. Ensure thatsewer drains are not left open to preventsand/debris from entering the system.

. Ensure that missing/broken cleaningeyes and rodding eyes are replaced with ap-propriate fitted caps.

. During construction or when incom-plete, stack pipes must be fitted with endcaps to prevent any materials from falling in-to the pipes.

. Cement bags must not be used to coverstack pipes.

. Heavy duty machinery must not be oper-ated until servitudes or service locationshave been established, to prevent damage tothe underground sewer reticulation system.

. Take care not to cause damage to exist-ing sewer covers or infrastructure.

pipes. Also by uncovered sand used for build-ing purposes which is washed down by rainor blown by wind into open sewer drains,rodding eyes, sewer gullies and broken stackpipes.

Talented teen aims for gloryTAURIQ HASSEN

BEAUTY, brains and sheer determina-tion are driving a 15-year-old girl to-

wards a place in the finals of the Miss SATeen 2011 pageant.

Saskia Tiana Clements is the youngestcontestant at this year’s pageant and theBlouberg teen says her main aim is to “makea difference in people’s lives”.

“Many teens are not aware of what theyare capable of and I want to use this platformto inspire them by motivating and upliftingthem,making themrealise that all things arepossible,” says Clements.

She enjoys the odd song or two, with dancemoves, and hopes to pursue a career in theperforming arts. She has starred in herschool plays “Annie the Musical” and“Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat”.

Last year, Clement was part of a perform-ing arts tour to New York, where she couldlive out aspects of her dream through sing-ing, dancing and acting.

The talented teenager also released herfirst pop single, “Let’s make the WorldDance” under the name Tiana, which hasaired on Good Hope FM.

“It was an extremely proud moment, butit required lots of hard work and dedicationand that is the message that should comeacross to all youngsters,” says Clement.

Her list of achievements is testimony toher ability to make her mark in the future,as she also has her Western Province coloursfor hip hop.

Earlier this year, Clement representedSouth Africa at the IDO World Hip HopChampionships in Austria, where shewalked away with her South African Teamcolours, which ranks 13th on the Worldstage, but number one in the country.

Harnessing her skills as a tool, Clement isteaching hip hop at the SOS Children’s Vil-lage in Thornton.

“I believe education is key to unlocking

one’s potential and I would like to educatethe youth around the positives and negativesof social networking,” says Clement.

Her long-term goal is to obtain a degree inBusiness Science and ultimately a MBA.

“Having a good business mind in any ca-reer will be beneficial for my future and win-ning this title would give me a good platformas well as a marketing tool to kickstart mycareer in the performing arts.”

The Miss SA Teen 2011 pageant will be heldat Sun City on Saturday 10 December, whereMiss SA Teen 2010, Mikaela Oosthuizen, willhand over the crown.

Climate strangeWHILE the outcome of the COP 17 negotia-tions has met with mixed reactions, the worldis increasingly aware of the devastating effectclimate change could have on our planet.

The conference resolution, the DurbanPlatform for Enhanced Action, encompassesa series of agreements that leaders of 197 na-tions have reached to reduce the emission ofgreen house gases and manage the impactthat climate change will inevitably have.

The level of green house gas emissionspresent in the atmosphere is higher than atany other time during the last 150 000 years.As this increases, so does the world’s temper-ature, which in turn has catastrophic effectson food security.

It has become increasingly clear that cli-mate change is no abstract thought, but a seri-ous threat to life as we know it. In South Afri-ca its effects may mean that rainfall decreasesand temperatures increase, thereby threaten-ing farming.

But despite the technical jargon around thesubject, the far reaching impact the averageperson can have on the preservation and lon-gevity of our species and home is certainlynot to be scoffed at.

Ironically,while thepoorprobably compar-atively generate the lowest carbon footprint,it is this very group – many of whom live inAfrica – who will bear the brunt of the effectsof climate change.

But what can the average man in the streetdo to prevent climate change? Use less fuel bychoosing a fuel-efficient car or use transportrequiring less fossil fuel such as trains, sub-ways, buses, car pools, walking and biking.

Buy efficient appliances that use less elec-tricity, reduce everyday electrical consump-tion. Arguably more importantly, we shouldall start talking about global warming, writeletters to local, regional and national mediato spread the message and thereby start amovement.

The way forward is clear, and the ball is inour court.

The real cause of accidentsFOLLOWING certain claims by a radio stationand a newspaper group, a study was conductedto determine whether cars driven with theirheadlights on during the daytime promoted roadsafety.

It was found that the use of headlights in factcreated a safety hazard: the beams of light tendedto distract drivers of oncoming vehicles. None-theless, the study found that:

. Bestuseof lighting tomakecarsmorevisiblewas to light up the interior of the vehicle;

. Bright lighting was essential, preferably 10000 watts;

. Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs werebetter because they use less electricity;

. Electricity could be provided by 20 standardcar batteries placed inside the vehicle.

Certain problems were identified, however.

The CFL bulbs contained mercury vapour whichcould be released in the event of breakage. There-fore, the study recommended that vehicle occu-pants should wear gas masks.

Another potential problem was the possibilityof acid spills from the batteries; for example, ifthe vehicle swerved suddenly or hit a bump inthe road.

To prevent injury, all occupants should wearindustrial protective clothing which covered theentire body except the face (the gas mask has theadded benefit of protecting the face). The studywas conducted by Prof Crazynski of the Univer-sity of Upper Slovakia.

Conclusion: no amount of lighting can stopreckless or careless driving – the real cause ofroad accidents.CONCERNED MOTORISTS

Christmas: The season for giving?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 angel sings.While we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ,others celebrate the end of the year and the be-

ginning of something new.Christmas morning, seated in church, I see

someonelost his Christmas spirit, for a smile is on the

faces of only a fewI hope my Christmas Spirit shines right

throughbecause what God has done for me I can not

explain.He can surely do the same for you!

Help solve mystery ofTokai Manor sketchTHE Friends of Tokai Park(FoTP) held a successful openday at the Tokai Manor on Satur-day 26 November. About 160 visi-tors attended.

During the event, someonehanded over a framed sketch ofTokai Manor, with the name“Mrs Van Zyl” on the back withher telephone numbers. Whenthe FoTP member wanted tothank the messenger he was al-ready gone.

We tried to contacting MrsVan Zyl, but the landline andcellphone telephone numbers nolonger existed.

The landline number was aKnysna telephone number, stilllisted in the directory, and twoof the FoTP members who werein that area visited the address,but to no avail.

The new owners, from theEastern Cape, said they hadowned the property for fiveyears and the old landline had

been disconnected.The two FoTP members then

visited the local police station,the local newspaper offices anda retirement home, Loerieshof,without any success.

TableMountainNationalParkand the FoTP really want tothank the person who deliveredthe sketch or to try to reach MrsVan Zyl.

There are also interestingquestions about the sketch. Forinstance, who was the artist withthe initials CS or SC? The sketchwas framed at a framing store inWaterkloof, Pretoria. The datecould be pre-1883, when the CapeGovernment bought the proper-ty.

Can the kind messenger and/or anybody with knowledge ofMrs Van Zyl or the artist CS orSC to contact me on 072 474 0608?BERTA VAN ROOYEN,(FOTP)Tokai

Women’s softball draws crowdsLYNN PRINS

TURFHALL stadium was filled to capac-ity for the first time in years, for the

opening of the Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC) on Wednes-day 7 December.

People’s Post is the media partner of the JW-WC.

The international guests were entertainedby local traditional dances and the SAPSmarching band, followed by the game betweenSouth Africa played and Botswana, whichSouth Africa won 6-5.

Apart from SA showing good character onthe field, locals also showed how well pre-pared they can be for world events.

With Africa and South Africa hosting theJWWC for the first time, there has been praisefor the hardworking organisers, volunteersand security. International Softball Federa-tion President Don Porter of US said: “We areall very pleased with the facilities. The gameshave been great up to now and the beautifulweather has certainly been excellent. The or-ganisers are doing a sterling job, and no majorproblems occurred.”

Over the weekend South Africa had a battle,falling short of sealing another win, but thesupport was and still is growing as the daysgo by.

ISF President Porter commented on SouthAfrica’s performances and said: “South Africahave made improvements since their last JW-WC four years ago, along with teams such asRussia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Botswana, andCzech Republic. For Puerto Rico, Brazil, SouthAfrica, and Botswana, to mention a few, thishas only been their second appearance, and it

is fantastic to see how the sport is growing, es-pecially in Africa.”

People’s Post also spoke to South Africa’shead coach, Lester Smith, asking about thepositives he could draw from the tournament.

“In a number of areas we are not far off otherteams, and I can proudly say that our under-19girls can compete against any team,” saidSmith. When asked about the way forward forSouth Africa, Smith said: “I think for SA to betruly competitive in softball, softball should beseen as more than just a social game. Club andschool level need to up their game and we defi-nitely need to strengthen our pitching”.

ISF President Porter said: “It really is hard

to say who will be in the final, because it de-pends on who gets into the play-offs. The cur-rent champions, US, are strong, Australia aregood contenders, Canada have really playedsome great games and shown how good theycan be, as well as Chinese Taipei, and then theJapanese always been the toughest competi-tors for US,” he added.

The tournament continues with eight gamesplayed daily from 10:30, and the last game at19:30. The final game takes place on Saturday17 December. Tickets cost R20 each and can bebought at the Computicket stand at the field.South Africa plays New Zealand at 19:30, so besure to get your ticket.

Brian Gaffney’swidow on JWWCI AM writing with tears in my eyes afterbeing asked by People’s Post to relate justhow much Brian would have enjoyed writ-ing about the Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC) being heldat Turfhall Stadium in Crawford, Athlone.

Brian was the inspiration behind secur-ing People’s Post’s media sponsorship ofthe JWWC and he was very proud of this.

He was excited about the tournamentand often spoke about the young talentedMulder sisters, Lauren and Carly, whoform part of the South African under-19softball team. It was his passion to writeabout softball. With all 16 countries beinghosted by SA, he would have enjoyed inter-viewing most of the young and vibrantwomen from across the globe.

This auspicious event, which sees the fi-nal being played on 17 December, high-lights the talent and gives young playersthe opportunity to showcase their skills onthe field. It would have been great for Bri-an to see legendary player Lynn Alexan-der, whom he admired so much, part of theSA side. She is also assistant manager tothe SA team and with her knowledge andexperience I am sure she will keep theplayers focused on and off the field. ToNoore Nacerodien, chairperson of the lo-cal organising committee and partici-pants: Good luck and may this be a goodlearning experience for all. May this op-portunity be used to forge friendships andpromote the game to all communities inthe greater Western Cape. On behalf of my-self and my family I would like to saythank you to People’s Post for allowing meto voice my thoughts.VANESSA GAFFNEY
