Parking lotnightmarein Plum-steadLILLIAN AMOS

A NOTORIOUS car park in Plum-stead is fast becoming a hot

spot for car thieves and police arereporting that a car is being stoleneveryday.

Police could not give exact estimatesbut according to Warrant Officer CliveMuller, spokesperson for Diep RiverSAPS, the car park had been targetedbefore.

“Late last year we had the sameproblem where a car was stolen everyday. This came to an abrupt end, butthree weeks ago the thievery, whichtakes place during business hours atthe Shoprite Checkers parking lot inMain Road and Richmond Square,started all over again.

Muller says the precinct is hard atwork trying to stop these criminals.

“We are trying our best to catch these

guys. Last year we had undercover of-ficers patrolling there as much as possi-ble. When we have visible policingthese criminals don’t strike but unfortu-nately we don’t have enough manpow-er to patrol there all day long.”

Ward Councillor Carol Bew is at herwits’ end about the situation and is hop-ing something drastic would be done tostop the thievery. “Little can be done bythe City of Cape Town at the Checkerscar park because the premises belongsto the centre.

“At Richmond Sqaure (behind OceanBasket) however, we have taken meas-ures by putting up palisade fencing andthat helped decrease the amount ofcars being stolen but at Checkers it isextremely difficult to monitor whocomes in and out of the parking lot,”says Bew.

She adds that the area had been ahotspot for many years, even beforeshe became ward councillor for the ar-

ea.Muller says the type of

cars that usually get targetedare older models that can beeasily broken into.

“It’s usually older people’scars that get broken into be-cause their cars, althoughold, are still in mint condition.“The criminals then easilybreak into the cars, stripthem of all their parts and theowners never see themagain.”

While police are hard atwork trying to stop the carthefts, they ask that ShopriteCheckers partners them.“Checkers is the biggest

shop in the centre so they should putup a form of access control or cameras.

“They have car guards who don’tseem to care about what happens tothe cars.

“At the moment criminals can comein, steal cars and get away without anyhassle,” says Muller.

Meanwhile, Shoprite Checkers man-agement responded by saying theywere not aware that there had been anincrease in theft.

Corporate Communications Manag-

er, Sarita van Wyk says, “These casesare not always reported to centre man-agement.

“Checkers Plumstead is only awareof three such incidents in the last ninemonths.

“We are collaborating withSAPS in an effort to increasesecurity at the centre’s parkingarea and we’re currentlyweighing up the viability of vari-ous options in this regard.”

Photographic accesso-ries you should not bewithoutJOHN RAYNER

THERE are a few accessories that aphotographer should not be without.

The front element of a lens (that bigpiece of expensive optics) is somethingthat should be protected at all costs. Theuse of a UV filter, while not affecting yourimages in any way, is a form of insurance– protecting the lens in the event of anaccidental bump – it’s cheaper than re-placing that very expensive lens.

Next, is a circular polarizing filter. Thisfilter enriches colours, and removes re-flection from shiny surfaces, such asglass, water etc. It also can deepen blueskies beautifully (More on this in a laterarticle).

Then there is the tripod. There aremodels for any size camera right downto the dinky compact. Failing a tripod, abeanbag will suffice. When light condi-

tions become such that rather long expo-sures are required, even the best imagestabilization will not steady a 10-secondexposure, and hence, the tripod.

Lens cleaning equipment comes in theform of specialised cloths, blowers andthe very handy LensPen™, which has alittle brush and a cleaning pad.

Having one’s battery die on you at acrucial moment can be most frustrating.If your camera works off AA batteries, in-vest in some rechargeable ones in pref-erence to the standard expendable ones.They are cheaper in the long run (excusethe pun). If your lens did not come withone, then I would strongly recommendyour purchasing a lens hood. This reduc-es the amount of peripheral light from en-tering the front element that sometimescauses flaring. It also provides your cam-era’s computer with more precise meter-ing information.

A very handy widget to have is a lens

cap holder – there’s nothing more frus-trating than forgetting where you put yourlens cap.

A spare memory card, though not vital,is good to have.

A small flashlight is a boon on thosenight outings to check for things in yourbag or to see the camera settings (andwhere you are going!).

A cable release is handy when doingvery long exposures and night/lightning/star trails/macro etc.

A remote control one would use whenyou would like to include yourself in agroup shot, though some cameras dohave a self-timer that will also do the trick.

Capetonians toosoft on ba-boons?LILLIAN AMOS

A WORLD renowned anthropologist has re-vealed that the Cape Peninsula baboons areby far the worst behaved she has seen in hercareer.

Shirley Strum compared Cape Town’s baboonpopulation with what she had learned from a pop-ulation of baboons she had studied and workedvery closely with in Kenya, for just over 40 years.

“These (Peninsula) baboons are more ad-vanced and they are so accustomed to raidingthat it would be an extremely difficult task gettingthem to live in any other way.”

The veteran anthropologist brought an expert,outsider’s perspective on current managementchallenges of the Peninsula baboon population.

Zwaanswyk, Tokai and surrounding areas’ res-idents packed The Range Conference Centre onThursday 23 February, to hear what Strum hadto say.

“Baboons are adaptable, intelligent and flexibleand we need to put measures in place to try andcurb what is currently happening. The Peninsulababoons have found an easy way out and theydon’t feel the need to scavenge because thereare easier ways of getting food, by going into theurban areas and raiding.

“We need to up the cost (risk factor) for themand decrease the benefits.

“This would result in less home invasions.”Strum also expressed surprise at how Capeto-nians tend to be too empathetic and defensivewhen it comes to the animals.

“People tend to think baboons are small humanbeings. They are not; they are wild animals andthey should be kept in the wild and should be

treated as wild animals.”To the primatologist, people in South Africa,

contrary to those in other parts of the world, caretoo much about the animals’ “rights”. A

fter the talk, the panel from the Baboon LiasonGroup (BLG), SANparks, Cape Nature, The Cityof Cape Town and NCC took time to take ques-tions from the audience.

One woman who has been living in Zwaanswykfor 15 years says she is fed up with the constantbaboon invasions.

“It has happened so many times that I lostcount. I came to the meeting because I wantedto hear what Sherley had to say because sheclearly has a lot of information on why the ba-boons are acting the way they are.”

Another woman who lives in Tokai says she ab-solutely adores animals and feels the baboonsare not at all a problem for her, even thoughthey’ve raided her house twice now. “They werehere first, long before we ever arrived on thescene, so we just have to live with them.”

Currently, electrical fencing is being erected inZwaanswyk. Strum, along with the panel of na-ture representatives discussed the fencing, butsome people were still not satisfied.

Eventually Dr Justin O’Riain, head of the Ba-boon Research Unit concluded that it is the startof a solution that could potentially help curb ba-boon invasions.

“This could work, we just need to be patient andsee how it works.”

Protest gets out of controlTAXI violence in Hout Bay hassubsided after taking a turn forthe worst over the past weekwhen a man got shot during aprotest by minibus taxi drivers.

Drivers from the ImizamoYethu Taxi Association (IYTA)refused to operate, in protestagainst drivers operating with-out permits in their area.

The Democratic Alliance’sMPL, Eugene von Brandis, saysthe violence displayed duringthe protest by minibus taxi driv-ers is unacceptable.

“It is appalling that intimidationwas used and guns were fired.

“There is a total disregard forsafety, rule of law and the bestinterest of their clients.

“The acknowledgement thatthey ‘couldn’t control the situa-tion’ leaves me cold.”

On the evening of Tuesday 22February, a member of the IYTAwas assaulted in Mandela Park.

Another member was threat-ened by a group of people fromImizamo Yethu, but managed torun away.

The hostility continued onWednesday 23 February at ap-proximately 7:15, when the twogroups clashed at the taxi rankin Mandela Road.

Hout Bay SAPS’ Tanya Lechsays “People were fighting in thestreet and stones were thrown atvehicles. A 37-year-old man wastransported to Grootte Schuur

hospital. His condition is stable.”A 51-year-old man from Imi-

zamo Yethu was arrested for at-tempted murder, his legal fire-arm was confiscated and he ap-peared in court on Friday.

PROPOSED NAME CHANGESAFFECTING STREETS, PUBLIC PLACES

ANDCOUNCIL OWNED BUILDINGSHave your say!

PubliceyeTWENTY years after his release from prison,

charismatic Nelson Mandela still commands theworld’s media attention.

This past week, all eyes have been on the 93-year-old former president after he was diagnosedwith a stomach condition.

Last year, the media went to town reporting thatMadiba had contracted a respiratory infection,with one newspaper publishing a tribute to him.

This time round though – in reaction to the me-dia frenzy surrounding the ANC stalwart’s hospitaladmission – the strong message from the ANCgovernment to the press is to not “imprison” Man-dela and respect his privacy.

Journalists outside the hospital were “chased”to a field behind the Voortrekker Monument, anonline report read.

As local and international press camped outsideMandela’s home and hospital, an announcementwas made that a special meeting would be heldthis week to address media coverage.

While theoretical plans are aimed at managingand controlling the extent of press glare, how real-istic is it to expect the media to curb their enthusi-asm about any news about Mandela, especiallywhen it concerns his health?

Any attempt to protect the privacy of this worldicon, who was pivotal in the abolition of apartheid,is understandable.

But would it not be tantamount to cold shoulder-ing the same media that helped build Mandela’simage?

His family, and government, may well be withintheir rights to ringfence the “frail” leader from theprying eyes of the world at this stage of his life.

They have to, however, consider that the publicwill always want to know about Mandela duringhis lifetime, when he dies and long after he is gone.His legacy as the much adored “people’s presi-dent” will burn brightly forever.

Meet with the cape horticultural socie-tyTHE next meeting of the Cape Horticul-tural Society is on Monday 5 March at

20:00, at the Athenaeum, BoundaryTerraces (next to WPCC), Camp-

ground Road, Newlands. The GuestSpeaker will be Hillary Rohde, a South

African now living on an island on theGulf Stream, off the west coast of Scot-land. The talk is entitled A Garden onthe Gulf Stream. Entrance fee is R8 formembers and R15 for visitors, which in-

cludes tea.There is no need to book. For enquir-

ies contact Glenda on (021) 531 5713.

Asking for some-body, but nobody ar-rivesI SAT amazed in front of the televi-sion as our learned Minister of Fi-nance spoke about our economicoutlook for the next financial year.The following words sounded likemusic to my ears “We must becomehonest activists in our communities,invest in people, community leadersshould protect their neighbour-hoods, how far will you get if you sitin your corner, what can you do foryour country”. Now who do youthink the minister was talking to? Hewas talking to me and you.

Since 2008, I asked for supportfeeding the poor, help came fromnobody. When I became a letter ac-tivist to appeal for the utilisation ofunused land for vegetable gardensfor our hungry communities, who re-sponded, nobody. When I appealedyear after year for unwanted goodsor toys for the poorest of the poorkids in our communities, who re-sponded, nobody. When I sowedthe idea of employing the unem-ployed youth who are musically tal-ented or to expose them to malls

and other venues to earn a living,who took up the flame, nobody.When I shared the idea of our StreetCrime Prevention Committee tosomebody, who responded, no-body.

I recently appealed for donationsto make pickled fish and give eastereggs to the poor during the comingEaster weekend. Who rushed tosupport or implement this idea, no-body.

There are times I want to give up,but then I see a need or I hear aspeech like yesterday’s.

I refuse to become a nobodywhile trying to motivate others tohelp somebody.

To those very few, thank you.There is somebody who helps me,who shows me time and time againto not depend on anybody, but onHim, our God.KEITH BLAKEOttery

Bomb threats are not “pranks”.They are seriously disruptive andpotentially life-threatening randomattacks on society. Every bombthreat has to be followed up by the

Competition toboost South Afri-ca’s entrepreneursIN AN effort to boost the level of en-trepreneurship in South Africa, San-lam and Business Partners haveannounced the launch of the 2012Sanlam/Business Partners Entre-preneur of the Year competition.

This initiative, widely consideredto be the pre-eminent competition ofits kind in South Africa, has servedas a springboard for past finalistsand winners. “Besides the chanceto win prizes with a total value of R1345 000, which includes cash prizesof R 200 000, finalists and winnersare able to expand their networksand receive invaluable exposure fortheir businesses,” says NimoNaidoo, project manager at San-lam/Business Partners Entrepre-neur of the Year.

She says one of the key aims ofthe competition is to profile the suc-cesses and significant job creationachievements of entrepreneursfrom across South Africa. “We be-lieve this plays a crucial role in ele-vating the standard of entrepre-neurial activity, as well as fosteringa national entrepreneurial spirit thatdirectly translates into job creation.”

She says recent studies showthat South Africa is lagging behindmany of its competitors when itcomes to entrepreneurship.

According to the 2010 Global En-trepreneurship Monitor, South Afri-ca ranked 27th out of 59 countrieson entrepreneurial activity, with itsTotal Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA)

rate of 8.9% below the average(11.9%) of all participating coun-tries. “Both Government and the pri-vate sector need to do more whenit comes to funding and fostering anentrepreneurial culture in our coun-try, in order to address our unem-ployment cycle,” says Naidoo. Ac-cording to Naidoo, the competitionis open to entrepreneurs from all in-dustries and for businesses of anysize.

Everyone looking to renew their spent CFLs for free

raise your hands!

www.eskom.co.za/idm

Five years ago, we managed to convertmillions of South Africans to using CFLenergy saving lightbulbs and saved youmoney. Now, five years later, we’reback to change your energy savers thathave reached the end of their life.Continue to use energy savers tocollectively save South Africa’s energy.

Energy saving lightbulbs have anenvironmental benefit because they cutyour lighting cost by using less electricityand last up to eight times longer,resulting in a reduction in greenhousegases. The small amount of mercury that

energy saving lightbulbs contain is almostused up by the time the lightbulb is readyfor disposal. So try not to break the

lamp and dispose of CFLs at participatingretailers.

Spent CFLs can be exchangedfor new ones in two ways:

a. There will be a door-to-door exchange(people will come to your door to dothe exchange).

b. Self exchange points will be set up incertain areas, where you will be ableto go and do the exchange.

Don’t miss out!Save energy and save money!

The exchange period will run from February 2012 to March 2012.

YourSMSesYou are what you eat

. A Christian is a follower of Christ and Jesusnever ate swine flesh as He obeyed all of God’scommandments. Jack

. To Atheist: unless you change, you’re on yourway to a burning hell, pork and all.

. Othmaan, the scripture you refer to is underthe law of God. Jesus said: “I came not to changethe law but to free you from the law”, meaning weare under His grace. He also says, anything thatyou buy in a butcher “you may eat if you pray aboutit in my name” and “what I have made clean don’tyou make unclean”. We as followers of Jesus be-lieve He is God manifested in flesh. Read Johnchapter one. We don’t live under the law but undergrace. WJ

. God provided us with an abundance of freshfruit and vegetables. It is healthier than the obses-sion with meat, halaal or not. In fact, scientists be-

lieve that with all these diseases hitting our planet,man is exposed to a variety of illnesses throughthe consumption of meat. Hawkers are virtuallybegging us to buy their cheap fruit and vegetables.It is more freely available than unhealthy meats!Viva vegans! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thinkvegetarians are sensible people and healthier too!Lewis, Lansdowne

. We live in a country filled with diversity andyet we refuse to accept each other. We have manydifferent beliefs and religions, so whether you eatpork or not is no-one’s business. Who made youthe judge? Why don’t you practice your religionand keep your nose out of other religions. OnlyGod can be our judge.

. Eat pork! “Do not let anyone judge you by whatyou eat or drink; or with regard to a religious festi-val...” (Colossians 2:16). Johnny

Just a thought. I am an unemployed mother of two and I am

upset, because these days you are hired by insti-tutions dependant on the way you pay your bills,not by your skills and knowledge. The economyis going to suffer greatly because young produc-tive people are sitting at home.

. My husband and I are ardent sport fans andare especially interested in rugby and cricket. Weare both retired and we will be looking forward toreading Liam Moses’ sport columns regularly. Wealso want to wish Liam a happy and long stay withPeople’s Post. Good luck! Maz

. The ANC is set on changing names but thiswill not change history. It will only take moneyaway from the housing projects and the poor. MrsDavids

. Why do we pay R9 for a loaf of bread? I thoughtthe government is regulating the prices/ Or arethey regulating their salaries?

. Budget speech – what a joke! Look at the fraudand corruption in the ANC provinces. Are youmaking up for all the Apartheid years? I’m in thewrong profession.

. My sympathy goes out to teachers who worklong hours, experience annual policy changes,have a bigger workload and whose job descriptionhas changed to nurse and social worker. Did yoursalary increase?

. The government is changing road names andwant input via Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp.Watch out Constantia and Simon’s Town: You willsoon be called Zuma Town, Malema Park orMbeki Suburb! They are starting with VanguardDrive. Send your opinion.

By the way. The reason shops worldwide use prices end-

ing in 99c is a simple marketing ploy. Think aboutit next time you see it’s only R19 when in fact it’scloser to R20. Josh

. If you know Mrs Peggy Juliet Booysen fromDelft, please tell her I picked up her ID and bankcard in Clicks. To collect, please provide me withthe ID number to confirm and collect personally.I can be contacted on 083 454 2245.

. To the family of Branden Staalmeester: ourdeepest sympathies on the passing of this kind,gentle and wonderful child. May the Almightystrengthen you in this difficult time. FromBranden’s friends and the Williams family.

. Sorry to all the dedicated Vodacom staff whowill see less of their families due to one impatient,arrogant client’s complaint. Don’t worry guys –your manager, if he has a backbone, should undothe situation. Keep smiling, its him that’s misera-ble. Patient client

Thumbs up fornew Archbish-opDear Editor

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba is a highlyappropriate choice as successor to Angli-can Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tututo become the new chancellor of the Uni-versity of Cape Town, and administrationhead.

Brian Williams and his selection commit-tee must be applauded for their wise deci-sion and discernment.

Makgoba has a proven track record likeTutu, and he is unafraid to articulate com-mentary with utmost grace on any prevail-ing injustice ruffling the proverbial “BigBrother’s” feathers.

Despite his comparative youth,Makgoba has risen to the demanding so-cial challenges of the day, with his most re-cent admonishment of the ANC led gov-ernment’s controversial secrecy bill, andhis passion for nature conservation andthe effects of global warming and climatechange on the earth.

He is a role model of impeccable statureand takes a special interest in the holisticdevelopment of South African youth.

Stalwart struggle hero and Nobel Peaceprize laureate, the stoical Tutu, must be sa-luted for the pivotal role he has played toensure the peaceful liberation and democ-ratization of both South Africa, and in par-ticular, the University of the Western Capeas chancellor – a position he held for 23years.

Makgoba’s new appointment as chan-cellor of UWC heralds the breed of youngleaders in South Africa, and as a fellow An-glican, I wish him well, as he is a worthyand deserving candidate.

“Well done, thy good and faithful serv-ant!”

Art meets ani-malsTHE Barnard Gallery presents the unveilingof Vindicta – a sculpture by renowned artistand conservationist, Keith Calder.

Translated from Latin, Vindicta means an actof vengeance or restitution for an injustice perpe-trated against an innocent victim.

In this case it is the leopard which, alongsidethe rhino and various wildlife and marine species,has become critically endangered, courtesy ofcommercial hunting and poaching.

They are prized for their skins, meat, and par-ticularly, their bones, which are used for mytho-logical muti purposes in religious ceremonies andfor the healing properties of leopard bone in tradi-

tional Chinese medicine. Consequently, the sur-vival of these cats is under threat. InVindicta, Cal-der has turned the table. The human hunter hasbecome the hunted, as the animal-turned-avatarwreaks vengeance on the poachers who haveencroached on and violated nature.Vindicta will be unveiled amongst the ancient

Oak Trees of the Alphen Boutique Hotel, outsideCape Town. A percentage of proceeds from thesale of 10 editions will be donated to the Out ofAfrica Children’s Foundation.

TONY ROBINSON

IN the days when R1 million was realmoney, the Cape Town municipality re-garded itself as extremely fortunate notto be saddled with a municipal transportsystem that chewed up money.

Both Johannesburg and Dur-ban had good municipal bus serv-ices but they ran at huge annuallosses. Cape Town and Port Eliza-beth, on the other hand, had a pri-vate company, City Tramways(now Golden Arrow), which pro-vided good services at no cost tothe ratepayers. And, on top ofthat, Cape Town had a suburbanrailway service that worked.

Things have changed. Thetrain service is a mess and get-ting worse all the time. GoldenArrow still functions well but itno longer provides the city-wideservice of old.

Now, most people from the af-fluent areas use private cars forcommuting.

The whole public transport system is un-co-ordinated and inefficient, and to makematters worse, we now have a lawless taxiindustry that has so far defied all attemptsat regulation despite increasing passengerfatalities.

Transnet’s problem, in a word, is passen-gers. They evade fares, crowd the coaches,complain when trains are late and take outtheir frustration by wrecking the carriages.Coal, iron ore and general freight, on theother hand, make docile cargoes. That’s thebusiness to be in. One can understand whyTransnet can’t wait to get rid of the wholesorry mess.

The train service will require a massivecapital injection (which the city hopes will

come from government) to bring it up to areasonable operational standard. The sec-ond problem is that the staff will want mu-nicipal salaries and benefits and that willhugely increase running costs. Councilmanagement will be the most expensivepossible way to run the service.

Then there is the City’s inexperience inmatters of public trans-port. The municipalitymay be proud of what it isdoing with MyCiTi but wedon’t yet know the realcosts.

If MyCiTi had been a pri-vate venture it would havegone bankrupt long ago.One can’t have dozens ofexpensive buses standingidle for nearly a year be-fore bringing them intoservice and still expect tobe viable! And the airportbus service with its two orthree passengers per tripwould bleed most youngcompanies to death.

But the city has shot itself in the foot. Theeagerness to expand its municipal empirehas already undermined its negotiation po-sition.

The city should be protesting that it willneed massive subsidies and that it has noexperience, that the learning curve will beexpensive and that while it might be pre-pared to save Transnet’s bacon, it will needthis, that, the other and much more.

That approach might secure an accepta-ble deal. Instead, we have unbridled enthu-siasm fromour civic politicianswhoarebit-ing off a lot more than they know how tochew. It’s a bit like the dog that chases carsall day long but what would it do if it actual-ly caught one?

Send in the clowns, I say.

Municipal trains and howthe city shot itself in the foot TONY Robinson is the public

relations officer for the CapeChamber of Commerce, andhas a long history as a writeron municipal affairs. There-fore, one would imagine thathe would have a far bettergrasp of the issues and com-plexities around publictransport in Cape Town andSouth Africa.

He contradicts his client,Michael Bagraim, Presidentof the Cape Regional Cham-ber of Commerce, who re-cently agreed with the visionof Deputy Transport Minis-ter Jeremy Cronin that thevarious elements of publictransport, including rail,buses and taxis should be in-tegrated.

Like any modern, success-ful city in the world, we havean obligation to develop anintegrated public transportsystem that gives everyonethe opportunity to travel incomfort and safety.

His suggestion that Coun-cil ought to be “astute” andavoid taking responsibilityto its ratepayers and visitorsfor a functioning publictransport service is worry-ing; and reflects an attitudethat does not belong in an in-clusive, caring, efficient andopportunity city.

Instead, that kind of re-sponse to the mobility needsof the vast majority of ourresidents perpetuates divi-sion and exclusion and prior-itises the privileged few whocan afford a car over thosewho rely on public transportto meet their daily needs.

To see people, who want to

travel to work to earn a livingas a “problem” articulates anarrow view based on a vi-sion for this city that this ad-ministration does not share.

It would however be astuteof Council to integrate allforms of transport to affordall its people the ability to im-prove their lives, by beingable to travel to work, to lookfor work, or merely to enjoythe city in which they live.

This administration iscommitted to building a sus-tainable, multi-modal, inte-grated public transport serv-ice which will be made up ofpassenger rail, bus rapidtransit, scheduled bus servic-es, mini bus taxis and non-motorised transport.

We are taking importantbut well considered steps toget there, always mindfulthat we need to balance thesustainability of the city-re-gion with the requirementsof a meaningful public trans-port service which serves theentire city.

In the context of establish-ing the city as the single pub-lic transport authority (in ac-cordance with the aims of theNational Land TransportAct) we have made substan-tial progress on a number offundamental functions in-cluding the devolution of thebus subsidies and the assign-ment of the minibus taxi li-censing to the city.

The missing piece has beenthepassenger rail function. Itwould be impossible for thecity to implement a fully inte-grated public transport serv-ice without being in a posi-

tion to plan for passenger railservices and then ensure theimplementation of that plan.

The vision depends on afully integrated functionalpublic transport servicewhich responds to theuniquerequirements of each localgovernment’s economic, spa-tial and social plan.

And all three spheres ofgovernment share that big-ger vision.

The City of Cape Town hasone of the most extensive ur-ban networks in the countryand about 600 000 people aday are dependent on Metro-rail for their daily commute.If it is allowed to deterioratefurther, and collapse com-pletely, the consequences forevery individual resident,and all of us collectively asCapetonians, will be dire.

This does not mean that weare rushing in, uncon-strained, to take over Metro-rail and start operating a pas-senger rail service. We havebeen engaging with the na-tional and provincial depart-ments over the past fewmonths during which timewe have proposed that we beauthorised, and assisted, toconduct a due diligence in-vestigation of the regionalMetrorail operations, farerevenue and rail subsidy.

This study would help usmake an informed decisionabout the state of the Metro-rail operations and the feasi-bility of the city assuming au-thority over the managementof the service in the future.

We are not ignoring the re-capitalisation of the rollingstock, the replacement of thesignaling system, the failureof the service’s access con-trol, nor the safety and secu-rity issues. All of these is-sues, and many others, willbe part of any agreement thecity concludes.

It is absurd to believe thatwe plan to burden the city’sfinances before resolvingthese issues.

We are happy to announcethat more than 27 000 com-muters are satisfied enoughwith the expanding MyCiTiservice to have acquired my-connect travel cards.

The MyCiTi airport serv-ice carries a lot more than MrRobinson’s “two or three”passengers per trip. Morethan 12 000 people used theservice in December 2011alone.

We acknowledge that theairport service has the capac-ity to carry many more pas-sengers. This is borne out bythe fact that every month weare seeing a steady but con-sistent increase in its patron-age.

Efficient public transportis critical to improving resi-dent’s lives, including relieffrom the traffic congestion,reduction in our carbon foot-print and a reduction of airpollution.

Mr Robinson should freehis range of vision from itsnarrow confines to see a big-ger picture and work withthe council as it strives toserveall thepeople of andvis-itors to our beautiful city. –Brett Herron, MayoralCommittee member fortransport, roads andstormwater.

Stormers losecaptain to inju-ryLIAM MOSES

THE Stormers will be forced todip further into their youthful

reserves over the next twomonths, after captain and incum-bent openside flank Schalk Burg-er was ruled out for up to sixweeks on Saturday.

Burger suffered damage to hismediate ligament during the team’s13 point victory over the Hurricanesat Newlands, and his absence willrob the team of not only his leader-ship skills and experience, but alsohis high work rate, aggressive ruck-ing and excellent distribution skills.

The Stormers have lacked a pre-mier openside flank since the departure ofFrancois Louw to Bath in the off season, butit was believed that Burger would be able toexcel in the position where he began his first-class career.

Siya Kolisi, a versatile and athletic youngloose forward, supplanted Burger during thematch, and he seems likely to fill the positionnext week when the Stormers take on theSharks.

However, coach Alister Coetzee said hewould consider all of his options for the posi-tion. “In the pre-season games we had Siya(Kolisi) coming on at six and he actually didn’tdo a bad job,” said Coetzee. “But with theloose trio situation, we were playing our bestloosies.

“We’ll be looking at our reserves. There’sRueben Johannes, and Nizaam Carr andDon Armandt.”

The inclusion of Kolisi in the starting line-upteam, and either Johannes, Carr or Armandton the substitutes bench will serve to furtherdecrease the average age and experiencelevel of the first team.

The Stormers fielded four players aged 23or younger (Nick Koster, Eben Etzebeth, Ste-ven Kitshof and Gary van Aswegen) in theirstarting line-up, and the number grew to fivewhen Kolisi took the place of his injured cap-

tain.Coetzee was understandably happy with

how the youngsters handled the increasedphysicality of Super Rugby.

“All youngsters, like I said previously, havethe potential to play at this level. And againtoday it showed,” said Coetzee.

“Siya (Kolisi) is physically mature, EbenEtzebeth is physically mature, and StevenKitshof, to play at this level.

“Our pack was outstanding today, and theyhave been under a lot of flak over the pastcouple of weeks and a lot of people had alot to say.”

Although all five of the youngsters playedwith varying degrees of success, and broughta necessary youthful vigor to the side, it couldbe argued that Burger’s loss will damage thedelicate balance between youth and experi-ence that sets the champions apart from thealso-rans.

Whoever replaces the hard man of theStormers loose trio in his absence, be it Kolisi,Johannes, Carr or Armandt, will be thrust intothe inferno that is Super Rugby, and eitherbe forged into a steely competitor or melt intoobscurity.

Spoils shared in Cape der-byLIAM MOSES

AJAX were made to rue their missed chances inthe Cape derby on Saturday night when local rivalsSantos fought back from a one goal deficit to drawthe match at the Cape Town stadium.

Those who did not see the game could be forgiv-en for marking it down as another dreary stale-mate. But in reality the match was a lively affairfrom the kick-off, and the result was not worthy ofthe entertaining game that took place.

Ajax took control of the encounter from the veryfirst minute – monopolising possession and camp-ing in Santos’ territory – and they took a deservedlead in the nineteenth minute after George Malule-ka was fouled in the box.

Brent Carelse, who led the line for Ajax on Satur-day night, stepped up and converted the spot kickeasily, but the veteran attacker’s composureseemed to desert him in the rest of the match andhe was guilty of missing several clear-cut opportu-nities. Several other Ajax players also fluffed goalscoring opportunities and the match could havebeen killed off on several occasions in the firststanza if the Urban Warriors brought their shootingboots along. Ajax Coach Maarten Stekelenbergsaw the poor shooting as the only flaw in an other-wise polished display by his players. “I’m quitehappy with the performance of the team, becauseAjax did very good. We created a lot. The only thingI think we can blame ourselves for is that we didn’tfinish the clear opportunities that we created,” saidMaarten Stekelenberg.

“I think we could have finished the game in thefirst half and played the game home in the secondhalf.” In the first half Santos seemed powerless tostop the constant flow of Ajax attacks, and theywere guilty playing too directly and conceding pos-session far too easily.”

However, Duncan Crowie’s team returned fromthe half-time break a completely different side andthey leveled the score less than 14 minutes later,after winning a free kick in a relatively innocuousarea of Ajax’s half.

The ball was floated into the penalty area andLanky striker Eleazar Rodgers rose highest tohead past a helpless Sander Westerveld, into theleft corner of the goal.

Neither team created any further chances in firsthalf and the score line remained deadlocked untilthe final whistle.

Apart from Ajax’s poor finishing, the other majortalking point in the match was the decidedly schizo-phrenic performance of Santos.

Santos Coach Duncan Crowie blamed the poorfirst half performance on nervousness from hisplayers. “When we came out in the second half andwe started playing the ball around I think we gainedterritorial advantage and we always put the Ajaxgoal under threat and that is probably why wescored,” said Crowie. “The disappointment of thefirst half I think I can put that down to the playersbeing too tense. In the second half they relaxeda little bit more and I think that is where we wantto start our next game.”

Crowie added that a change of tactics in the sec-ond half also helped his side to gain a foothold inthe game.

Ajax will face Amazulu in Kwa-Zulu Natal in theirnext game on Saturday 11 March in the NedbankCup, while Santos will face the University of Preto-ria on Wednesday 7 March at Athlone Stadium inthe same competition.

GOAL BOUND: Santos striker Eleazar Rodgersrises high to meet the ball. Rodgers scored hisside’s only goal in their match against local rivalsAjax on Saturday night.

Bike show revs up for goodcauseTHE annual Cape Town

Bike Show waslaunched in December

2010 and has been a greatsuccess.

The aim is to put together anoutdoor exhibit of motorcyclesalong with displays from motor-cycle manufacturers and suppli-ers.

This will also provide a greatopportunity for the biking com-munity to come together onceagain in aid of a charity as wellas for members of the public toget up close and personal withthese beautifully made ma-chines.

Few people realise how muchfundraising the biking communi-ty does in the Western Cape.

Bikers represent every walkof life, from bankers and managing directors tolocal doctors and school principals, yet popularmedia often misrepresents them.

Somewhat like the often misunderstood squat-ter camp inhabitants who are served by the de-serving charity behind this event.

This year’s event – on Sunday 4 March – isbeing planned as an annual fundraising vehicle

for Living Way – a part of Living Hope – whichis strategically positioned adjacent toMasiphumelele Township on Kommetjie Roadand is also within walking distance of OceanView, two of their primary catchment areas. Theywork to provide opportunities for people to earntheir way out of poverty, including preparing peo-ple for the world of work and developing entrepre-

neurs to make their dreams a re-ality. Living Way is working toenable the under-resourced tomeet the market’s employmentneeds. There will also be stallsoffering a variety of motorcyclerelated items. Alongside bikesand related items, there will befood and beverage stalls and ajumping castle and play area forthe kids. Join them on Sunday4 March at the new venue, theLiving Hope Campus (on Kom-metjie Road). Gates will beopen to the public between10:00 and 16:00.

There is parking for motorcy-cles inside the venue and for ve-hicles in the surrounding area,monitored by security for peaceof mind.

Entry is R35 per person, in-cluding a metal badge, while

children aged three to 12 pay R5. For more infor-mation visit www.livingway.co.za or to book a stallor exhibit contact Jo Huysamen 082 518 3932 [email protected].
