Resi- dents’ asso- ciations from Hout Bay and Noordhoek have large- ly wel- comed this new resolu- tion, but some also say Chap- man’s Peak should not remain a toll road. A new contract be- tween Entilini and the Provincial Department of Transport and Pub- lic Works was signed on Tuesday 8 March, following 12 months of lengthy negotiations. Chapman’s Peak has not been closed in 2011, ex- cept for the weekend’s Pick n Pay Cape Argus Cycle Tour. Although the scenic toll road has not yet been closed in 2011, closures have been a controversial matter and contested in the past, not only between the Department and the op- erator, but also amongst residents who use the road on a regular basis. In September 2009, a group of about 200 people marched to the closed gate of Chapman’s Peak to demand that the road be opened af- ter it had been closed for almost a year, due to extensive repairs (“Re- open Chappies now”, People’s Post, 1 September 2009). The new contract al- lows the province to insist on the road remain- ing open if it is convinced that the risks of do- ing so do not pose a dan- ger to road users. The PG- WC will take responsibil- ity for the risks associ- ated with closing the road. Len Swimmer, chairperson of the Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associ- ation of Hout Bay, says the depart- ment “did well” with the new con- tract. He says that if the authorities are true to their word, the road will only be closed for short amounts of time when maintenance is being done. He says the department will no longer pay Entilini when Chap- man’s Peak is closed, which was the case in the previous contract. Rory Sales, chairperson of the Noordhoek Conservancy, also wel- comes the decision that road clo- sures must be agreed upon by both the department and Entilini. He says the previous agreement stated that if there is only a “vague chance” of a rock fall, the operator should close the road. Sales says incidents in which peo- ple are injured or killed during a rock fall are “very rare”. The negotiations for the revised agreement were triggered by Robin Carlisle, Western Cape MEC for Transport and Public Works, who was concerned that the previous contract was not favourable to the provincial government as large sti- pends had to be paid to Entilini, even when the road was not in use but closed for repairs. Under the new contract, the two parties have agreed to construct a permanent toll plaza to replace the current, temporary one at the Hout Bay end of Chapman’s Peak Drive. This will cost R53 million, of which the provincial government will pay R25 million. Entilini retains the right under the new contract to construct a per- manent plaza at Noordhoek should this be deemed necessary in future. The previous contract also in- cluded plans for a toll plaza at the Noordhoek side of the road, but this was met by a legal challenge by Cape Point Vineyards owner Sybrand van der Spuy, as one of his properties borders Chapman’s Peak Road. Van der Spuy has now suspended the review in light of the department’s decision to not build a Noordhoek toll plaza for the time being. Sales welcomes the decision by Entilini and government not to build a toll plaza at the Noordhoek side of the road. He says the slopes and mountainside on the Noord- hoek side of the road would have to be flattened for construction to take place, and says that introducing a toll plaza here would not be “via- ble”. While Van der Spuy does not ob- ject to the planned Hout Bay toll pla- za, he is “surprised” at the R53 mil- lion budgeted for its construction, believing it is excessive. He says the current toll plaza is adequate for its purpose. Swimmer agrees that it is “crazy, mad and appalling” to spend R53 million on a toll plaza. “There is no reason why we cannot continue us- ing the current toll plaza,” he says. Swimmer maintains that a toll is not needed on Chapman’s Peak. He argues that very few people use the toll road any way. “People are avoiding it by driving over Ou Kaapse Weg,” he says. Swimmer says the toll contribu- tions are not significant enough to contribute to the upkeep of the road. He says he has discussed the toll with Carlisle, who was “ada- mant” that the facility will remain. Sales recognises the need for a toll, but says the charges to drivers are too high. If the charges were more reasona- ble, he says, more people would use Chapman’s Peak Road, taking pres- sure off Ou Kaapse Weg. He says that both Noordhoek and Hout Bay residents who travel on Chapman’s Peak on a frequent ba- sis have been asking for a discount on the toll road, but with no success.

LIAM MOSES
A HANGBERG man has been chargedwith illegal possession of abalone andcrayfish after being caught with over 230perlemoen on his bakkie.
The 34-year-old man was arrested lastWednesday after fleeing when police triedto pull him over outside the Hout Bay har-bour.
According to Hout Bay police spokesper-son, Warrant Officer Tanya Lesch, the offic-ers chased the suspects after they sped offin the direction of Hangberg.
“SAPS officers were patrolling the har-bour area when they noticed a white Ban-tam bakkie leaving the harbour,” said Le-sch.
“There were two people at the back of thebakkie and a driver. They followed the vehi-cle to the Hangberg area and found the vehi-cle abandoned with the key still in the igni-tion. The South African Police Servicesmembers then identified and arrested thedriver.”
The two men at the back of the bakkiewere not found. After searching the bakkiepolice found 19 bags, containing 130 un-shelled abalone, 105 shelled abalone and twocrayfish.
Lesch said poverty in the area meant thatpoaching perlemoen was a common crimein Hout Bay. “Yes it’s common because it’sa form of survival for the poor people in thearea,” said Lesch.
“For them it means food on the table. Theycan sell it and buy what they need. It’s com-mon in any area close to the coast. It’s a verypoor community.”
The suspect appeared in the WynbergMagistrate’s Court on Thursday.
The outcome of the trial could not be con-firmed at the time of going to print.

More trainsfor southernsuburbsLIAM MOSES
SOUTHERN suburbs residents havewelcomed an announcement by Metro-rail that they will soon be able to travelhome from Cape Town as late as 21:00at night.
Metrorail said last week that three ex-tra trains would be added to the southernsuburbs line timetable from Monday 28March.
The new trains will depart from CapeTown Station at 19:30, 20:30 and 21:15 andwill return toCape Town afterreaching Simon’sTown station.
The extendedtimetable is partof a combined pi-lot project between the City of Cape Town,the Western Cape Provincial Ministry ofTransport and Public Works and Metro-rail, that will also see park and ride facili-ties being opened at 10 stations along theline.
Metrorail spokesperson, Riana Scott,said the matter of commuter safety hadbeen taken into account and addressed.
“We realise that people are concerned
about safety and we understand that,”said Scott.
“We partnered with the City of CapeTown and the province to provide securi-ty. There will be increased security andrailway police on the trains. And the Citywill secure the park and rides.”
MEC for Transport and Public Works,Robin Carlisle, said he hoped the latertrains would alleviate some of the trafficcongestion. “The extended service is anincentive for motorists to leave their carsand use the train instead,” said Carlisle.
According to Scott, Metrorail has a planto inform the pub-lic.
“We don’t havea huge budget foradvertising, butwe will target ma-jor employers so
they can inform their staff.“The city and the province will also in-
form their staff. We will also let the Cham-ber of Commerce know so that they cannotify their members,” said Scott
Scott added that commuters could call0800 656 463 for more information or visitthe Metrorail website – at www.metro-rail.co.za – to find out more about the ex-tended timetable.
What’s thebig idea?AS PART of their Great Texts/BigQuestions series, the Gordon Institutefor Performing and Creative Arts (GIP-CA) will host Jane Taylor – writer,scholar and curator – on Thursday 17March at 17:300.
Currently Mellon Senior ResearchAdvisor at the University of the West-ern Cape, Taylor will engage with JohnLocke’s Letter “Concerning Tolera-tion” (a key document in the early mod-ern history of religious tolerance).

Police find jewel thiefA SUSPECTED burglar was ar-rested in the early hours of Fri-day morning after police discov-ered him hiding in a bush along-side Doordrift Road inConstantia.
The man (21) was found in pos-session of jewellery which hadbeen stolen from a home in theConstantia area.
According to Diep River policespokesperson, warrant officerKeith Chandler, police found theman after a tip-off from the neigh-bourhood watch.
“The sector team of constablesHeindrich Gordon and John Klein
were first to respond to a burglaralarm in the Constantia area,” saidChandler.
“They were alerted by the neigh-bourhood watch that a suspect wasrunning down Woodlands Closewith a jewellery box in his hands.Constable Gordon then spotted thesuspect hiding in the bush inDoordrift Road.”
Chandler added that the missingjewellery was found in the sus-pect’s pockets when he wassearched.
He said more stolen jewellery,from a break-in which happened ataround 05:00 that morning, wasfound when he was searched again
at the police station.“After arresting the suspect and
confiscating the jewellery, wit-nesses gave statements that theyhad seen the suspect earlier in thearea,” said Chandler.
“The owner of the house wasgrateful that her goods were recov-ered.”
The suspect, from Manenberg,was chargedwithpossessionof sto-len goods. Chandler said he hopedthe Diep River SAPS and the neigh-bourhood watch could continueworking well together.
The outcome of the case couldnot be determined by the time ofgoing to print.

Help get Jenny ‘out there’GERDA VON BENECKE
A RESIDENT with cerebralpalsy is in a life-and-death
battle togetBotox.She isappeal-ing to the community to help heras her medical aid submissionfor Botox will most likely be re-jected.
Jenny Symons was born withcerebral palsy, caused by a lack ofoxygen to the brain during birth.
This, says Jenny, caused braindamage, which ultimately affectedher arms, legs and speech. At themoment she is suffering from dys-tonia (a neurological movementdisorder, in which sustained mus-cle contractions cause twisting andrepetitive movements or abnormalpostures). She is going into spasmsand at times her neck is thrust backand she cannot breathe as a result.
The only thing that will help heris Botox, but her medical aid con-siders it to be a cosmetic and nota medical expenditure.
“It is literally a case of life anddeath,” she told People’s Post whilebegging for an appeal for help to bepublished. She added: “This is verydifficult for me. I have never askedfor help before.”
Few people realise that behindJenny’s exterior, there is a perfect-ly normal brain. She is a self-con-fessed speed junkie, so a few daysbefore her 50th birthday, Jenny’slong-time friend and neighbour of10 years, Sean Light, took her fora bike ride on the M5.
Itwasnothing like the scooter fordisabled people she owned at astage, says Jenny. For one, thisone’s wheel didn’t just fall off. In
fact, burning down the freewaywas an “absolute blast”.
As for her sense of adventure? Noproblem whatsoever.
She’s gone bungee jumping, tan-dem skydiving and horse riding inNew Zealand.
Jenny says she “lives an activelife” – a bit of an understatement.
She has represented South Afri-ca several times in swimming andshotput, having been chosen forthe first time as part of the Spring-bok team to go to Israel in 1984,where she won gold in swimmingand broke a world record in shot-put.
In 1993 Jenny won gold and silverin England at the Robin Hood Inter-national Games for Cerebral Pal-sied (CP) Athletes with 620 otherCP athletes – again, breaking aworld record in shotput.
In 1994 she went to Malta for theInternational Paralympic Commit-tee World Swimming Competitionwhere she won two bronze medalsat the age of 33, being beaten to thefinish line by a 19-year-old.
And then there’s her love fortalking and public speaking. Shedid nine talks in three days in 2000in Bloemfontein to help people un-derstand cerebral palsy better.
There’s a lot of things on Jen-ny’s “still to do” list, includingtakinga ride ina race car and find-ing a way to paint.
But what she’s really lookingforward to, after several years ofgoing through multiple opera-tions and setbacks, is to “get herlife back on track” and to “getback out there to do life”. At themoment she just doesn’t knowhow.
Even though Jenny’s fa-ther, Michael Symons, hasmade financial provisionfor her future and althoughshe is on a medical fund, ex-penses due to several blad-der operations from Octo-ber 2009 tomid-year 2010, es-sential Botox injectionsevery eight months andmonthly expenses, includ-ing special stoma bags andnappies, have just made itimpossible for Jenny tokeep up financially.
Anyone able to provideassistance and/or dona-tions to help Jenny “getback out there” can phoneJenny on (021) 761-9951,send her an email on [email protected] orsend an email to Ruth Min-naar at [email protected].

Tackling the skills shortageTHE False Bay College host-ed a SETA-Industry break-fast in Westlake on Friday 4March. The breakfast washeld to kick-start industryand SETA initiatives to ad-dress artisan training.
South Africa has two tothree million unemployedand largely untrainedyoung people – yet is desper-ately short of artisans.
Guest speakers includedthe former CEO of theChamber of Commerce, Al-bert Schuitmaker.
He said industry wantedquality, trained people withthe necessary skills to fit in-to business operations anddo a good job without undue“nursing”.
It followed that education
had to be matched to theneeds of industry, and FalseBay College had a record inthis regard, with a businessplan that was working well,with about 95% of theirgraduates placed in employ-ment.
The audience was also ad-dressed by the Director ofthe National Skills Fund,Eubert Mashabane, whosaid he was confident thatthere would be a great im-provement in the yearahead in addressing the ar-tisan training and skillsneeds of the country,through the efforts of theDe-partment of Higher Educa-tion and Training, the FETcolleges and industry gener-ally.

Turning crime tidearound in KirstenhofGERDA VON BENECKE
AFTER four years of fighting crime,Kirstenhof Crime Watch (KCW)has gone hi-tech by joining forces
with a new website aimed at helping toidentify and record crime more accurate-ly.
The website, www.turnitaround.co.za,aims to serve as a resource which keeps resi-dents of a particular area informed of crimetrends.
Karen Key, spokesperson of KCW, says thewebsite is part of an effort by KCW to improvetheir understanding of crime patterns, and torevive the initial enthusiasm displayed by lo-cal residents to “take back their streets”.
The website, founded by Gerald Yapp andRichard Wilkinson, enables users to take ad-vantage of Google Map technology by allow-ing them to post information of incidents ona map and use it to identify trends and pat-terns underlying crime in their area.
According to Wilkinson, they have beenlooking to launch the website with KirstenhofCrime Watch as a pilot project since last year,but the site has, until now, still been in its de-velopment phase.
Key, who says KCW will still be using theircurrent site while also using services offeredby Turnitaround, believes “the site will reallyhelp focus on crime hotspots and the vulnera-ble times and days”.
“There is anaddedbonus in that thewebsitealso offers us the opportunity to send out ournews and crime alerts via SMS to those mem-bers who don’t have email.”
According to Key, the executive committeeof KCW has already given the thumbs-up forthe initiative and will be sending emails en-couraging members to sign up on the websitefree of charge.
Wilkinson, currently a law student, joinedup with graphic designer and entrepreneurYapp last year to develop the website after no-ticing what great work neighbourhood watch-es were doing in Cape Town and after realis-ing the opportunity social media presented inenhancing the work done by neighbourhoodwatches. Wilkinson says they intend to en-courage neighbourhood watches to drive the
system, by setting up and managing networksin their area on the website to make sure thesite is kept active and relevant.
In explaining how the maps on the websitecan benefit neighbourhood watches, Wilkin-son explains how “extraordinary patternsand trends emerge when the incidents for aparticular area are placed on a Google map”.
Wilkinson uses the example of Tamboersk-loof, one of the first areas involved during thewebsite's developmental stage, where therewere 150 instances of theft out of vehicles and31 instances of theft of vehicles recorded in2010.
He says after recording these incidents onthe map, it emerged that 64% of these crimesoccurred in just 16% of the roads.
Of the 90 roads in the suburb, 46 did not fallprey to a single incident of vehicle-relatedcrime.
“This means two things – firstly, crime isnot evenly distributed in an area and, second-ly, if neighbourhood watches develop a planthat focuses on the causes of crime, they candeal a critical blow to the infrastructure andopportunities upon which criminals depend.”
Kirstenhof police spokesperson, ConstableDeidre Solomon, agrees that the websitepresents “huge possibilities”. “We wish for itto be very successful,” adds Solomon.
According to Wilkinson, 134 local networkshave been created on Turnitaround in thecountry so far, stretching from Cape Town toPilgrim’s Rest.
Future projects envisioned for the website,says Wilkinson, include highlighting munici-pal issues and even using the website for secu-rity around Table Mountain.
With over 200 neighbourhood watches be-lieved to exist in Cape Town alone, Wilkinsonsays he is confident that the site could helpthousands of South Africans work together tonot only “turn around” their local community–but abroad sectionof the countryaltogether.
If you’d like more information on how tojoin Kirstenhof Crime Watch, call Karen Keyon 082 923 0253 or visit www.kirstenhof.org.za
For more information on how your neigh-bourhood watch can use Turnitaround, con-tact Richard Wilkinson at [email protected] and 073 173 4438 or visit www.tur-nitaround.co.za.
‘What do they do withall the chickens?’TERESA FISCHER
PINK plastic pigs, graceful flamingos andquirky chickens represent bread on thetable for a young father, who hawks thesehandmade wares in Claremont.
But without a permit, Ashe Bunton (28)is a target for regular law enforcementraids, during which all stock is confiscat-ed.
Raids result in a R300 fine. It costs R600to retrieve the goods, which are taken tostorage points in Cape Town.
Bunton says he’s applied for a permit in2008, but is still on the waiting list.
“They don’t show us where we are onthe list,” he says, adding that as a foreign-er from Zimbabwe he is at a big disadvan-tage, even though all his papers are in or-der.
There have been three raids at the Para-dise Road/M3 intersection since January.
He cannot afford the fine. Instead hemakes more animals.
Asked what was taken just the day be-fore, he replies softly: “Three big chick-ens, black and white, three pigs, pink pigs,four black-and-white medium chickens.”
He moulds them out of coloured plasticand wire; using plastic cut-outs to makethe comb and visiting the scrap yard tocollect wire for the feet.
From someone else, beadwork was con-fiscated – “the hearts and the little tinydogs”.
He adds he is not begging and not har-assing anyone, as he just stands on theside of the road and nobody complains.
“I don’t force them to buy my chickens,”he says. But he says the police are rough,treating hawkers as if they were crimi-nals.
Claremont artist, Andrea Raath, be-friended Bunton and contacted People’sPost after the recent raid. She says thereis a lot of respect among South Africansfor creativity and that the country shouldbe trying to create a culture that is self-re-liant.
Bunton says: “The president told the na-tion ‘vuka uzenzele’, which means tostand up and work for yourself; don’t waitfor handouts. Then again he sends his po-lice to come and trouble us. What is that?”
The raids are ineffective, he adds.“Police come at 11:30 and by 14:30 we are
there again. There is no other way we willget bread on the table,” he explains.
He wants to know: “What do they dowith those chickens?”
The concern is that the confiscatedgoods are sold illegally. He explains: “Mybrother makes baobab trees. They weretaken and he saw someone selling them atGreenmarket Square.
“He knows he is the only guy who canmake that kind of thing, so he asked thelady where she got them and she couldn’t
answer.”Bunton works long hours, from 07:30 –
“to catch that morning jam jam” – until18:30. At night he works at his home inPhillipi, which he calls the ghetto. “I gohome, sit in my house in the dark andmake my chickens.”
His fear of being robbed in the ghetto isconstant because criminals know whoworks.
He says: “Police are corrupt. I am a Ras-ta man. They search me, (gestures at hispockets) looking for ganja, which is aplant, just like a lemon tree, when thereare guyswithguns. It is veryunfair. IfGodcould hear what I am saying, he wouldhave mercy on us, because this world ishard.”
However, according to Paul William-son, Service Coordinator at the BusinessAreas Management, Economic and Hu-man Development Department for theCity of Cape Town, the intersection of theM3 and Paradise Road, as well as the inter-section of Rhodes/Union/Paradise Roadsand the “Upper Freeways” are all withinprohibited street trading areas wherehawkers are prohibited. Also, the RoadTraffic Act does not allow street tradingat the intersection.
Williamson says Bunton is not reflectedas an applicant trader in respect of theClaremont area and he encourages Bun-ton to contact the city’s Business AreasManagement Branch for street trading op-portunities in areas that comply with na-tional legislation and city bylaws.
Shaun Smith, Head of the InformalTrading Unit, Law Enforcement Services,says if a trader fails to collect confiscatedgoods within 30 days, the city may disposeof the goods.
If goods are not collected, they go onpublic auction, which is arranged by thecity’s Pound Master. All goods deliveredto the auction pound are to be recordedand accounted for.
Williamson adds the city is not allowedto deviate from the process set out in theabove points.
“Allegations need to be substantiatedand proven and will be investigated.Where the city’s bylaws and proceduresare not adhered to, disciplinary actionwill be taken against the staff memberconcerned.”
Regarding allegations of violence,Smith says officers always respect hawk-ers’ rights, and adds at times, officers faceresistance and a “sterner approach” isneeded.
Williamson says the number of viabletradingopportunities in thepopular areasis limited and it is the department’s expe-rience that the intersection traders do notwant to trade in designated trading baysfor avariety of reasons, andprefer to tradeat intersections.

Islamic tournamentcomes to townTAURIQ HASSEN
“It’s an exciting event to look forward toand the boys are pumped to partake inthis event in their own back yard,” saysShaheem Galant, principal of IslamiaCollege in Lansdowne.
On Thursday 18 March, the first annualAssociation of Muslim Schools (AMS) na-tional soccer tournament will be hosted inCape Town.
The tournament was hosted in Johannes-burg last year, and involved several Muslimschools in a three-day event.
On the long list of schools are Al Falaahand Orient Muslim schools from Durban,Nasroedien Muslim School from Port Eliza-beth, Johannesburg Muslim School and theEscort Muslim School from Kwazulu-Natal.Representing Cape Town is Darul Islam andAl Azhar Muslim schools.
Galant said the tournament, now in its 12year, is hosted by a school in different partsof the country, often forcing their boystotravel in order to participate.

“Events such as these do not come everyday, especially an event of this magnitude,because it’s talent coming from all over thecountry,” says Phillips.
The tournament will be hosted at theWindsor High School grounds, and adequatefacilities are available for all matches.
The weekend will kick off with a Quranicrecital and lectures from guest speakers ata banquet hosted by the convening school onThursday 17 March.

Strike terrorBELEAGUERED commuters are onceagain getting the short end of the publictransport stick as a citywide taxi strikegot under way yesterday (Monday).
Members of the SA National Taxi Coun-cil (Santaco) protested about “draconian”traffic laws and the red tape and “sloppi-ness” around the issuing of operating li-cences by provincial government.
Santaco secretary general Philip Taai-bosch says the Western Cape “is the onlyprovince in South Africa where taxi oper-ators are harassed in such a big way”.
Taxi drivers are entitled to protestabout matters affecting their livelihoods,but peacefully so. That the strike turnedviolent on its first day displays a blatantdisregard for the government’s warningthat Santaco will be held personally re-sponsible for any violence.
Even the National Taxi Alliance’s urg-ing taxi drivers “not do anything and topark the taxis at ranks or at home” fell ondeaf ears.
Many taxi drivers are notoriously reck-less. Their conduct during strikes bearstestimony to their overall lack of regardfor themselves, their passengers and fel-low road users.
They threaten the very commuters whofaithfully support them and rely on themas their only mode of transport from thetownships to work.
Among the alarming incidents reportedsince the strike began: a bread truck wasset alight; vehicles were set alight andstoned by striking drivers; stone-throw-ing occurred in Fish Hoek and along Klip-fontein Road; Golden Arrow buses werestoned on Lansdowne Road.
As with previous taxi strikes, this strikewas characterised on its first day by vio-lence, intimidation, destruction and op-portunistic crime – none of which will gar-ner sympathy or even empathy.
. That builder and Mr Paint-er have no respect for the deadif they are able to easily dumpin front of the cemetery.
. To the lady driving awhite Toyota Corolla, pleaseteach your children thatthrowing rubbish out of thecar is not the right thing to do.It’s so easy to take it home anddispose of it there! NJ.
. Every week I read this pa-per and all about BKM andConstantia having problems.Don’t other areas matter?What about taxis and cars andgarbage here in the streets?
. To the grandmother driv-ing a white car, you are irre-sponsible to leave two boys,approximate age 7, and a girlaged 4, alone in the car whileparked in Kenilworth parkingbays on Monday 7 March,while you did your businessinside.
You were parking at the Fu-jifilm entrance at the time.They don’t deserve a hiding.You grandma, deserve a scold-ing and a hiding. Had I had thetime, I would have waited foryou, I would.
Any child that is in yourcare, you must take responsi-bility and ownership for, andlook after them properly.Don’t endanger our childrenany further than what they al-
readyhave to livewith.Don’tyou add to the statistics ofcrime and violence wherethe kids are concerned. It ob-viously doesn’t bother youthat somebody could havestolen or hurt them, other-wise you wouldn’t have leftthem alone. If only you knowhow angry I get when peoplelike you leave kids that ageunattended.
.There is a definite lack ofginger in Stoney ginger beerthese days. Has anyone elsealso tasted the difference?L.S.
. If we are proudly SouthAfrican, then why don’t wefly our flag in front of ourhomes like they do in othercountries such as America?If we can do this then we canreally make ourselves proud,don’t you agree? Amos
. Vandalism at state facili-ties is a great concern. Ithink it would help if securi-ty cameras are installed in-side and outside the build-ings and a security monitordeployed where there is notanyone on duty, and they canmonitor and communicatewith their colleagues.
I am sure this will stopvandalism in its tracks. Con-cerned health worker
. I’m concerned, not justfor myself, but also for mygirlfriends.
We finished school, butnow we can’t find jobs be-cause we are inexperienced.How will we ever gain expe-rience if nobody is willing totake a chance on us? Con-cerned young adult
Your SMSesAppeal to save lives fell on deaf earsI HAVE just read your leading article(“‘Deadly’ road needs regulation”,People’s Post 8 March) and wasprompted to send you the below copyof a letter I addressed to the TrafficManager on 6 November 2008, towhich incidentally, I have receivednoresponse, even though I repeated theletter twice soon after the originalwas sent.
I also wish to add that I lived inTimour Hall Estate for 33 years andduring that period witnessed manyaccidents which occurred on the bendwhere Doordrift Road and StudentsWay meet, near Pick n Pay in Plum-stead.
Over the years, I have seen speedtraps operating on one side ofDoordrift Road on a few occasionsbut, admittedly, not in the past 10years or so.
There is no reason why a perma-nent camera could not be mounted onboth sides of the road at appropriatespots similar to those opposite the in-tersection of Dick Burton Road andPrince George Drive.
The letter sent to the Traffic Manag-er reads:
“I write you so that action may savelives. Since about the middle of Febru-ary 2007, as a result of a medical condi-tion, I have been going walking al-most daily and my favourite route isfrom my home to Constantia Villagevia Doordrift Road.
“This exercise is, however, fraught
with danger, as this route also hap-pens to be a favourite for taxis, whonot only use Doordrift Road as a racetrack, but also overtake all and sun-dry in order to deliver their humancargo at their destination as quicklyas they can, and then go tearing backto their pick-up points to collectsome more passengers.
“As a walker, I have almost hadmy right arm severed by a taxi on anumber of occasions, because theypull off the road to drop off passen-gers without consideration of whohappens to be walking on the side ofthe road.
“This routine occurs mainly be-tween 07:30 and 09:00, when taxi traf-fic is at its heaviest.
It is therefore with no disrespectthat I suggest that speed cameras beset up for a period of time, be it aweek or two or even a month (thinkofhowmuchrevenuecouldbegener-ated). Unroadworthy taxis could al-so be removed from the roads as a re-sult of this initiative and, in so do-ing, save many lives.
We also have the situation where-by, over the past three years or so,(check the statistics) we’ve had anumber of serious accidents on thesection of road between StudentsWay and Gabriel Road right on thebend and another accident is due.”
Thank you,DW RUTHENBERGTimour Hall Estate

BattlescarredStormers brace for BullsTASMIN CUPIDO
AFTER a tough and hard-hittingphysical encounter with theHighlanders the past weekend,the DHL Stormers will be nurs-ingscarredandsorebodies in therun-up to the highly anticipatednorth-south derby against theVodacom Bulls on Saturday.
The Stormers were 18-6 victors inlast Friday night’s clash, ending theNew Zealand team’s unbeaten runin the competition and remainingone of two unbeaten teams in theSuper Rugby competition.
And Stormers head coach Al-lister Coetzee was happy with histeam’s performance, despite theirinability to, yet again, not cross thetryline.
“Against a physical and motivat-ed side like the Highlanders, I
thought we performed well as ateam, stepping up on defence andphysically,” he said.
“The collisions during the matchwas unbelievable and I think wehad the upper hand.
“There was a noticeable improve-ment in the set pieces and on at-tack.”
The loose forward trio of Fran-cois Louw, Pieter Louw and DuaneVermeulen impressed at the break-down point, while the entire teampulled their weight on defence.
But, despite Coetzee’s thoughtson the improvement on defence, theimportance of scoring tries andgaining valuable bonus pointseludes the Cape side.
They have only managed to scoreone try in three matches, with allthe points coming from the boot offlyhalf, Peter Grant – again.
And the performance displayed
on Friday evening did not reallyshow any signs of the team’s inten-tion to throw the ball wide to speed-sters Brian Habana, Danie Pool-man, Juan De Jongh and Gio Aplon.
The men in blue have the servicesof some of the country’s best back-line players, but with scrappy ballfrom the forwards, they have beenunable to execute and unleash thetalents of these players.
As can be expected, the battleagainst the Bulls will be similar tothe match against the Highlanders,with a tough, physical and tight en-counter on the cards.
The Stormers, who lost to theBulls in the final of last year’s Super14, will be looking for revenge, buttravelling to a sure-to-be packedLoftus Versveld will be tough andthe team with the most hunger,drive and eagerness will be victori-ous in the end.

The subtle touches ofThe subtle touches of OranjeOranjeBRIAN GAFFNEY
T TWO Dutch legends whose names areprinted in gold in the annals of Netherlandssoccer history are close to being acclaimedheroes – 9 000km from their native land.
For Foppe de Haan and his fellow country-men Ruud Krol – the coaches of Ajax CapeTown FC and Orlando respectively – the hon-our of walking the red carpet to the champi-ons’ rostrum in May will be deserved for thetwo seasoned coaches.
Indeed, either of their faces could be mir-rored in the sterling silver trophy that is atstake for the Premier Soccer League champi-ons for the 2010/2011 season.
The destiny of the coveted cup will ofcourse be influenced by the result of the clashbetween Ajax and Pirates at Newlands Stadi-um tomorrow (Wednesday), starting at 19:30.
In the fiercely-contested league champion-ship, pacesetters Pirates – with 50 points inthe bag are a point ahead of Ajax, whileMamelodi Sundowns on 47 points and KaizerChiefs on 46 points are also in the race, after24 matches.
The neck-and-neck tussle prompts De Haan
to concede that “nothing less than victory”will serve the Ajax cause.
De Haan’s no-nonsense approach when itcomes to the game has transformed Ajax intoone of the most exciting teams to watch in theleague this season.
His achievements include coaching theNetherlands to the UEFA European under-21champions titles in 2006 and 2007, after serv-ing as the head coach of Heerenveen FC for20 seasons.
And those successful experiences has inev-itably helped De Haan to keep his youngcharges focused on the arduous task ofmatching Pirates – buoyed by a 3-0 firstround win in Johannesburg in October.
The rapid development of players like Thu-lani Serero, Khama Billiat, Sameehg Doutie,Sonwabile Lolo and Granwald Scott hasmarked Ajax’s progress thus far.
Soweto-born Serero (21) and Billiat (21)from Zimbabwe (21) have each scored vitalgoals, while the pacy Doutie (22) is enjoyinghis best season since joining Ajax at age 17.
Their efficiency is matched by Kensington-born midfielder Scott and defender Lolo,whom Ajax nabbed from African Tribes ama-teurs in Khayelitsha.
The efforts of Tembinkosi “Terror” Fanteniand Serero to hit the target 11 and eight timesrespectively this season also augurs well forthe match.
The not-so-good news for De Haan is thatthe suspended Doutie will miss the crucialshowdown.
And Krol? the Pirates mentor was capped83 times for the Netherlands and representedthe Dutch in two World Cups.
He was also a member of the star-studdedAjax-Amsterdam FC side that won the Euro-pean Cup for three consecutive years (1971-1973) – missing out on the 1971 final due to afractured leg.
Notably in his heyday the versatile Krolcould be depended on to play in all defensiveand midfield positions for club and country.
So no wonder Pirates boasts one of the bestdefensive records in the league this sea-son – thanks mainly to Krol’s coaxing of de-fensive midfielder Andile Jali (21) and left-back Reuben Cloete into tough ball winners.
Pirates have scored 34 times and conceded16 goals while Ajax, on the other hand, havehit the target 36 times but have conceded 24goals.
This of course is a worry for De Haan and
goalkeeper Hans Vonk – his custodian atHeerenveen FC for several years before hemoves Ajax Amsterdam FC and their CapeTown namesakes.
But De Haan showed his hand when thelong-serving flank defenders Brett Evans andNazeer Allie – who were sidelined with leg in-juries for several weeks – returned to theteam that lost 2-1 to Free State Stars in theNedbank Cup knockout championship overthe weekend.
The possible inclusion of both flank defend-ers with the centre back duo of Derek Des-camp and Clayton Daniels could be De Haan’sploy to snuff out Pirates’ free-scoring KatlegoMashego, Thulasizwe Mbuyane and TiouSegolele.
Pirates, since the inception of the PSL in1995, have been crowned champions in2001/02 and 2002/03, while placing second in2004/05, 2005/06 and 2008/09.
. Tickets at R60 (main stand only) and R40are available at Computicket and Shoprite/Checkers branches.
