HOUT BAY

Drivers take wrong turnsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Motorists who do not obey the law havebeen hit hard this festive season.Over R850 000 worth of fines was is-

sued to motorists along the Atlantic Sea-board, between Green Point and Hout Bay,over the holiday period.A total of 1580 fines were issued, says JP

Smith, mayoral committee member for safe-ty and security.

Of these, 770 fines were issued for unli-cenced cars and unlicenced drivers and al-most 700 for illegal parking. Fines were alsohanded out for parking illegally, car defectsand moving violations.“Road safety is an ongoing priority for the

City of Cape Town, more so over the festiveseason when the roads tend to be busier,”says Smith.“Unlicenced drivers put themselves but

also others at risk by operating cars. In addi-tion, illegal parking also adds to the conges-

tion in high traffic areas, resulting in frus-tration for both road users and residents inthose areas.”The City increases its resources over the

festive season to deal with the higher trafficvolumes and associated transgressions, butalso to increase visible policing and deterroad users from breaking the law, Smith ex-plains.“It is important tonote that all of theCity’s

enforcement agencies – traffic services,met-ro police and law enforcement – are empow-

ered to respond to transgressions. We alsoimplement traffic management plans for bigevents or on priority days over the festiveseason to limit the congestion and resultantparking transgressions,” he says.“However, we can only do so much – it is

incumbent on road users and communitiesat large to recognise that theyneed to adhereto the law by ensuring that their cars are li-cenced and roadworthy, keeping unlicenceddrivers off the roads and obeying trafficsigns at all times.”

Top pupil beat worst oddsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“I had to focus on getting better first andthen slowly focus on learning. The sup-

port from my classmates and family hasbeen absolutely incredible; I wouldn’t havedone it without them.”These are thewords ofAndrewJohnTuck-

er (18) from Noordhoek who has matriculat-ed from Sacs in Newlands. He achieved sev-en distinctions in the recent matric exam,and is the top matriculant in the country.Tucker received a special ministerial

award at an award ceremony at the pre-mier’s residence to honour pupils andschools in the province that did well in theexams.Andrew was one of two pupils who were

celebrated by Debbie Schäfer, provincialminister of education, for their exceptionalcourage and determination. Andrew ex-celled in his final exams despite a tremen-dous challenge he faced building up to it.At the beginning of hismatric year hewas

diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disor-der called Guillain-Barré syndrome, whichis a debilitating disease. This led him tomiss

almost six months of schooling last year –including the entire first term and parts ofthe second term.His father Peter says it was a difficult time

for them.“It was really difficult for us as a family

but it brought us together. We had to bestrong for him and support him in whichev-er way. Not knowing what was wrong withhim made it even worse. When he was diag-nosed we dealt with it better; others havehad it worse,” he says.Missing entire parts of the curriculum

and battlingwith his health, which includedlosing the ability towrite and evenwalk,An-drew could have decided to postpone com-pleting his matric by a year.However, he made the decision to perse-

vere andwith a positive attitude and numer-ous sessions of occupational and physicaltherapy, he set out to complete his matric,learning to write and walk again.With the support of friends and family, he

caught up on the work he had missed bystudying photocopied class notes. When hefinally returned to school, he was still veryweak physically and could only come toschool for an hour or two at a time.

By the time he wrote his June exams, hewas still suffering from fatigue and muscletwitches, among other things.Andrew says passing the exams has been

a humbling experience for him.“It was difficult. I had to beat setbacks. Be-

ing diagnosed was very frightening, but itmade me and my family deal with the situa-tion better. I couldn’t hold a pen. I had tolearn from scratch and take things slowly.I’m glad that I managed to pass. I’m trulythankful to everyone who helped me. De-spite my condition I took a decision to goahead with my exams. I had put a lot intoit; I was determined to go ahead despite mychallenge,” he says.Despite what he went through he is glad

that he is on the road to full recovery.Hewillbe starting his first year in Medicine at theUniversity of Cape Town.HismotherMeghan saysAndrewmotivat-

ed himself.“We wanted him to stay at home but he

was determined and wanted to go back toschool. Him doing so well is just an amazingthing and it makes us forget how scary andtraumatic it was when he was ill. It reallywarms our hearts,” she says.

Andrew Tucker of Noordhoek passed hismatric at Sacs in Newlands with sevendistinctions. He is the top matriculant in thecountry despite being diagnosed with a raredisease that led him to lose many days ofschool in his matric year. The disease evenmade it impossible for him to write and walk.

Local pupils’ hard work pays offTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

It was a day of jubilation as theprovince’s schools and matricu-

lants who did well in the recentmatric exams were celebrated re-cently.Those who did well were praised

at an award ceremony at the pro-vincial premier’s residence.Wynberg Girls’ High School was

also recognised for academic excel-lence. The school attained a 99.5%matric pass rate compared to 99.4%in 2014.One of the ceremony attendees,

Rebecca Haines from RustenburgGirls’ High School in Rosebank,who got seven distinctions, saidshe loved swimming but to makesure she achieved better academicresults, she had to cut her swim-ming time.“I had to put so much work into

my studies and cut onwhat I reallylove. I also didn’t go out as muchand I’m glad that it has paid off. Itreally feels good to be recognisedand to know that your hard workwas not in vain,” she said.

Eight AsAnother attendee, Samantha

Elizabeth Hearn from HerschelGirls’ School in Claremont, whohas eight distinctions, said shewasexcited when she received her re-sults.“I wasn’t expecting it. I worked

really hard, but I didn’t know Iwould do so well.

“I’m looking forward to my firstyear at the University of CapeTown where I will be studyingMedicine. I’m nervous but evenmore excited and looking forwardto a new challenge,” she said.

Ministerial praiseAttending the award ceremony

was Angie Motshekga, minister ofbasic education, who congratulat-ed the province for achieving thetop pass rate in the country.“I want to congratulate the prov-

ince for the leadership and thegood work. As a department we re-ally appreciate the work that theprovince is doing.Whenaprovincedoes well and works hard, it pullsup everything with it. Everythingexcels,” said Motshekga.Debbie Schäfer, provincial min-

ister of education, said at the cere-mony they were pleased with theresults.“Given the many challenges our

education system faces, improvingthequality of education is onlypos-sible through sustained interven-tions in our schools and the hardwork of the matrics, their teachersand district officials,” she said.

Premier HelenZille, ShirleyHarding,principal ofWynberg Girls'High School,Angie Motshekga, minister ofbasic education,and DebbieSchäfer, provincial minister ofeducation.

A section of the M3 between Newlandsand Trovato Link in Wynberg is to be re-surfaced from late January or early Feb-ruary.The roadworks will happen during

night time and take about four and a halfmonths.The project, at a cost of R17m, should

be completed by mid-May.IanBowker, thehead of pavementmate-

rials and rehabilitation at Transport forCape Town, says all construction workhas been scheduled to take place at nightso that motorists are inconvenienced aslittle as possible.“Work on the outbound lane will take

place between 19:30 and 05:30 andwork onthe inbound lane will be done between19:00 and 05:00. Residents’ concerns re-garding noise levels have been taken intoaccount and limited use of jackhammerswill be allowed until 23:00.“Unfortunately, reverse beepers are a

legal safety requirement but we havespecified that they be dampened to try tominimise their impact.Wehave also spec-ified regular pre-work meetings with theworkcrew to remind themabout reducingon-site noise levels,” says Bowker.The project will repair and resurface all

parts of the M3 in the area that were notcompleted during the resurfacing done in2014.The slow lanes in both directions will

be treated with three new asphalt layerswhile the fast lanes will receive two newlayers. In both lanes the existing old as-phalt will be removed and replaced. Thefinal layer will consist of an ultra-thinfriction course and will ensure a durableroad surface.

Colin Burke, president of the Rotary Clubof Newlands, donated an emergency ve-

hicle to the Emergency Assistance Volun-teer Support (EVS) on the South Peninsulathis week. His dream became a reality aftertwo and a half years of negotiations, fun-draising and engagement with sponsorsand partners.The shortageof emergency responsevehi-

cles is a serious problem in the WesternCape, the organisation says in a statement,

especially with the numerous fires thatneed to be contended with at this time ofyear.With the recent fundraising project of the

Club, it was able to donate a multipurposevehicle to the EVS.“We are incredibly grateful to all the sup-

port that we have received from all oursponsors and supporters.“With the generous support from Isuzu

Trucks SA, we were able to donate a fully-

kitted, multipurpose vehicle, which willprovide services to residents in the DeepSouth, from Claremont to Cape Point, in-cluding Masiphumelele, Ocean View andRedhill,” says Burke.“The support has beenoverwhelming.We

even received a generous donation from theRotary Club of Albert Park in Melbourne,Australia, who took it upon themselves toorganise a raffle to help raise funds for thisproject.”

Process for cyclingon trails ups a gearTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The City of Cape Town’s parks depart-ment has agreed to permit the construc-

tion of a cycling route through the Constan-tia greenbelts in ward 62.This follows an extensive public partici-

pation process which polled local residentsfor their input. Most residents generallysupported the development of the cyclingroute. It has been in discussion for a while(People’s Post, “City invites bikes on green”,20 October 2015).Elizabeth Brunette, ward 62 councillor,

says about nine months ago, a group of off-road cycling enthusiasts approached her torequest that the City allow cycling along aspecific route that would connect TableMountain National Park in Tokai withRhodes Drive in Constantia.“Currently, cyclists are not legally per-

mitted to use the paths, but the increasingpopularity of the sport has seen many

groups taking to the trails on mountainbikes. It was therefore a fitting time for theCity to re-evaluate its position and the pro-posal has received support from the wardcouncillors in subcouncil 20 and from Cityparks,” says Brunette.Construction work will be managed by

the Pedal Power Association under the su-pervision of City parks officials, with sever-al conditions in place to ensure the contin-ued safety of pedestrian users of the green-belts. The memorandum of agreementshould be concluded by the end of themonth.The dual-use of the trails by mountain

bike riders and walkers will be for a one-year trial period, after which the success ofthe project will be re-evaluated.Brunette further states that the cycling

groups offer significant benefits, includingfunding contributions for the maintenanceof the existing trails and increased safetyfor all users due to an increase in the num-ber of people using the greenbelts.

Youth centresbenefit by beadsA simple string of beadsmade and sold has

seen the Amy Biehl Foundation (ABF)benefit by more than R1m.Through sales of the Relate bracelets, reg-

ular monthly payments made over the lastfewyearshave culminated in thismilestone.Knowing that through thismoney raised 354children will be kept safe through the ABF’swork is just one of the motivating factors inpromoting this product.The ABF’s five well-established after-

school centres inPhilippi, Bonteheuwel,Gu-gulethu andKhayelitsha cater formore than2000 children and are the foundation of theorganisation. Its headquarters in SybrandPark offers entrepreneurial skills develop-ment programmes. This year 300 children

from 18 to 25 years will benefit from thesecourses.More than 130 000 of these bracelets were

sold over a five-year period. The Founda-tion’s goal is to raise another R1m over thenext three years.The brightly coloured beads are threaded

by unemployed women and township resi-dents.Relate has already raised R31m. The ABF

is one of the top 12 Relate beneficiaries. Thebracelets sell through Relate’s online shopand the public can choose the cause theywish to support, both local and internation-al.Each handmade Relate bracelet comes

with a signature “R” bead of authenticity.

Housing tenantswho are in ar-rears will face legal action thisyear.Residents who rent houses

from the City of Cape Townand who owe rent and ignoreall the reminders to pay are atrisk – particularly if they areable to pay their rent.“Please use this opportunity

to make sure that you keepyour abode,” says Chris Bar-nard, project manager atTraceOnline.The company has been con-

tracted by the City to providetenants of City housing withinformation, help them withindigent grants and undertakecollections.Barnard says there are al-

ready a number of court casesfor eviction orders for tenantswho have been in debt for along time and who have ig-nored reminders and opportu-nities to make arrangementsfor payment.“It is unacceptable that

there are somany tenants whoare able to pay, but simplyrefuse to do so,” says Barnard.

Unfair to othersAbout 260 000 people in Cape Town are

on the housing waiting list, who are pre-pared to pay, says Barnard.“It is unfair towards the thousands of

people who want to pay and who are pre-vented from getting a home by thosewhorefuse to pay. Another result of peoplenot paying their rent is that there is notsufficient income for all the mainte-nance that needs to be done. This is onceagain unfair towards those people whodo pay,” says Barnard.The City has an indigent grant to sub-

sidise people who have no income or avery small income. Residents can applyfor this.However, if they fail once to pay the de-

creased rental, the grant is immediatelywithdrawn.The process that is followed before

someone is evicted is very fair, says Bar-

nard.People are first of all reminded that

they are in arrears and that they have topay. They are further informed about theindigent grant option.Reminders are delivered to them per-

sonally.

Legal processIf they still do not respond, they will

receive a letter from an attorney. Fromthen on the legal process will take itscourse. The tenant is then also responsi-ble for legal expenses.“That is whywe seriously request peo-

ple to take immediate steps to make surethat they keep the roof over the heads oftheir family. No-one wants to start a newyear with a sword hanging over yourhead. It does not help to simply ignorethe problem.”V Tenants who owe rent are requested to callTraceOnline on 0861 99 77 77.

Athlone drum group to wow again“Don’t do drugs, do drums” is

the motto the members ofLimited Edition Drum Corps liveby. They create awareness aboutgangsterism, poverty and violencein Manenberg through their im-pressive choreography and sticktricks on snare drums.The group helps boys living in

Manenberg stay off the streets.“We feel it is important that our

youth is informed. The fact thatmany young people in our commu-nities are using drugs as part oftheir social and recreational lifes-tyle does notmake this a safe or ac-ceptable practice. It is only by col-lectively working to take the ‘cool’factor out of drug use, that we canhelp safeguard the lives and healthof the young people,” says directorYaggie Sampson.The Corps had its fair share of

challenges, from borrowing drumsto enter SA’s Got Talent to the con-stant disturbances of gangsterism,crime and overcrowding. Howev-er, they never let this stop themfrom reaching their dreams.The talented group wowed audi-

ences with their energetic per-formance at the Cape Town Carni-val last year. They have since beeninvited to perform nationwide.They will perform at this year’sCape Town Carnival again, whichwill take place along the GreenPoint Fan Walk on 12 March from16:00.“Cape Town Carnival taught us

many skills in the field of perform-ingarts – teamwork,unity andhowto represent ourselves in the enter-tainment world,” says Sampson.“It was an honour to meet othergroups and artists and collaborateon ideas, but the best part was onthe day of the event, when the en-tire community came together asone big family”.“Our dream would definitely be

to further expand the group andperform at the Cape Town Castleand the EdinburghMilitary Tattooin Scotland.”The group also aims to collabo-

rate with sponsors to get their ownequipment and transport.V For more information visit the TheCape-TownCarnival page on Facebook.

Limited Edition Drum Corps from Manenberg will be performing in the Cape Town Carnival again this year.

The National Sea Rescue Institute is appeal-ing to the public to not set off Chinese lan-terns, following reports of distress flaressighted offshore around the coastline.Chinese lanterns floating in the sky can

look similar to distress flares, says NSRIspokesperson Craig Lambinon.“Eyewitness reports of distress flares

sighted offshore require the NSRI and theemergency services to launch a full-scalesearch and rescue operation without hesita-tion,” he says.“Evenwhen the sightingmay later be con-

firmed to have been Chinese lanterns asearch operation can continue for quitesome time until it can be absolutely con-firmed that no persons or craft at sea maybe in any difficulty.”This was the case on Sunday when the

NSRI Bakoven crew were activated by theTransnet National Ports Authority aftereyewitnesses reported suspected distressflares fired in succession.At least eight flares were reported by vari-

ous eyewitnesses along the Atlantic Sea-board seen offshore of Bantry Bay.While the NSRI Bakoven duty crew re-

sponded to the Bakoven sea rescue base toprepare sea rescue craft to be launched,NSRI spotters were dispatched to BantryBay to investigate and the eyewitnesseswere interviewed. It was confirmed that thesuspected distress flares were Chinese lan-terns, Lambinon says.“To rule out all possibilities the situation

continued to be monitored throughout themorning. NSRI Bakoven duty controllersare confident that there are no persons orcraft in any distress in the area.”

Lanternscause distressfor aid efforts The Vadhini Indian Arts Academy in

Gatesville, founded by Shrimari SavitriNaidoo, has been entertaining locals andtourists for 36 years.The internationally recognised acade-

mywas established in Cape Town and spe-cialises in traditional Indian dancingwitha local twist. The dancers are committedto bringingdiversity to theCapearts sceneby exposing locals to different religionsand cultures.“We aim to inspire and instil a sense of

beauty and increase the appreciation of In-dian arts,” says senior dance instructorMaya Kooverjee. “We are proud to shareIndian arts with the community.”The academy’s performers have dazzled

Cape Town Carnival spectators since 2010and will continue to show off their talentsat the seventh annual Carnival along theGreen Point Fan Walk on 12 March from16:00.“Cape Town Carnival has allowed us to

showcase what our academy has to offeron a much larger scale,” says Kooverjee.“Cape Town Carnival has helped us inmore ways than one. It has helped raiseawareness for the academy, introducingthe public to Indian arts and it has helpedthe students of Vadhini academy to be apart of an iconic event and perform infront of thousands of people.”Theacademyspecialises inBharataNat-

yum, a south Indian art form, which is

taught on a workshop basis. The academyis also involved with the Footprintsproject, which focuses on the social inte-gration of refugee children using dance asa medium.

Dance as barrier breaker“We are passionate about continuing to

better the community and hopefully in thenear future introduce our own outreachprogramme,” says Kooverjee. “We recent-ly performed in the classical Indian playNritya Alankaaram that showcased themost inspiring Indian dance forms andepitomiseswhat the academyhas to offer.”V For more information visit the TheCapeTown-Carnival page on Facebook.

Carmen’s jazz apart of journeyGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

A musical journey that started in Mitch-ell’s Plain has reached a major mile-

stone with the launch of Carmen Xclusive’sdebut CD.Many music lovers will simply know her

as Carmen Herbert or, if you’re a bit moreold-school, “Carmen from N2”.She laughs when acknowledging her as-

sociationwith the popular band.“Yes, that was a very impor-

tant part of my life, my educa-tion and training in the musicbusiness, but it started before Ijoined them,” she says.While, like somanymusicians

on the Cape Flats, the roots ofher talent are in the church, sheused to sneak away to the Inn onthe Plain to listen to RudolphPaulse and the band Horizon.“I loved the music; it just

meant something special to meand eventually I was persuadedto enter a singing competitionthere and the rest as they say ishistory.“Offers came in for me to per-

form at cabaret shows and I wasonly 14 at the time, but I fell in love withthe business and just enjoyed singing.”

Singing sweet 16As word spread about the young talent

she joined up withMike Kwagga’s Nuff-Zedwhen she was 16 and a year later joined theWentzel brothers in N2.“Performing with them for almost ten

years was an exciting time forme. This wasalmost likeme going to college and learningto hone my talent.“Eventually I felt that I wanted to take a

step up in my career by going beyond theclub scene, get into the corporate scenarioand work in a wider variety of styles.“That’s also when I decided to become

Carmen Xclusive as a brand that wanted toshow the world my own identity and thatthere’s only one me,” she laughs.Since then she has impressed music lov-

ers with the best in the business in SouthAfrica and discovered the jazzier side of hertalentwith IanSmith’sVJRandvarious col-laborations with the likes of Richard Cae-sar, Allou April and Robbie Jansen.

With the release of her album, XclusiveNites@Pigalles, shehas surroundedherselfwith some of the best around town. CamilloLombard produced the albumwith his bandTop Dog backing her as well as a brass sec-tion comprising Ian Smith and Willy Hau-brich.Carmen confesses she has been going

around to someof thepopular radio stationsbut can’t get any of them to feature the al-bum on their playlists.

This remains a mystery because everytune on this album is a carefully craftedgem.“It’s an album of my favourite covers

done my way,” she says.“Volume 2 I am going to give the word

some of my originals.”

Jazzier coversShe openswith theDavid Foster composi-

tion “Love that will Last” and the qualityof the voice that made so many love her isimmediately evident. The magic just keepson coming your way.She takes some pop classics like “Get

Lucky” and Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie”and twists them into tunes that could fea-ture in an album of new jazzy standards.Even Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” featureswith a funkier kind of feel.With a debut like this let’s hope Carmen

gets back into the studio quickly to give theworld some more of her musical magic.V For more information on where to get the albumemail [email protected] or call Bernie on079 871 9855.

The last few weeks of comments and observations sharedon social media have shown us that racism is still aliveand well in South Africa.More than 20 years into our “new SouthAfrica” we still

findpeopleholding on toprejudices that shouldhavebeendiscarded long ago.Many are even quick to use racism as an argument

against rational criticism, especially with regard to thegovernment.While some may claim that racial tensions are a com-

plex problem, made up of skewed history books, culturaldifference, class systems and generations of indoctrina-tion, none of these points provide any reason to treat an-other human being with disrespect.Science has shown us that on average, humans share

90% of their DNA with other humans with only 10% dis-tinguishing one population or race from the other.And archaeologists have shown us that broadly speak-

ing, we all share the same ancestors.At our very core, we are all made up the same. In fact,

pigmentation is merely the result of humanity’s adapta-bility in nature and the body’s response to ultraviolet ra-diation.Further investigation shows that darker complexions

weredeveloped in the tropics, closer to the equator,wherethere is more need for protection from harmful sun rays.Why then would this be any reason to treat anyone any

differently?Others say that racial belief structures have been

passed on through generations and would be impossibleto change.Cognitive psychology, however, has shownus thatwith

a little work, it is indeed possible to change thought pat-terns.Perhaps it is time to start reconsidering the way we see

the world, and to start changing our thought patterns?

Fireworks are sadisticSociopaths show a pervasive pattern ofdisregard for the rights and feelings ofothers. They live for the moment,forgetting the past and not planning thefuture, not thinking ahead about theconsequences their actions will have.They want immediate rewards andgratification.The use of fireworks is a sociopathic

behaviour because fireworks have anobvious and pervasive destructive effecton everyone, including the personlighting the fireworks.This New Year the carnage from

fireworks was worse than ever. Allaround the country, there were firesresulting in major environmentaldestruction, human injuries, thousandsof lost and terrified, injured animals,many of whom lost their lives, and thedisturbance of the peace of everyonewho has a right to privacy that fire-works invade.Let’s examine the pros and cons of

fireworks.Pros. “Fireworks are fun.” Well, yes, butfun at the expense of others is somethingonly a sociopath or sadist finds enjoya-ble.. “Fireworks are a legitimate religiouspractice.” This is absurd. See below.

Cons. Environmentally destructive, pollutesthe air and results in debris. Disturbsbirds and other wild animals.. Firework noise is pervasive andviolent. This is disconcerting for manypeople including the elderly, posttraumatic stress disorder sufferers, smallchildren and for that matter anyone whoprefers peace and quiet in their ownhome.. Fireworks terrify animals. This is notsomething that can be avoided bylocking animals in as some suggest,since they can still hear the explosions.There are many animals that cannot begiven sedatives, like shelter animals,strays and wild animals in any givenarea.To make matters worse, these socio-

paths do not stick to the allotted times,

with the result that animal ownerscannot predict when their pets will besubjected to terrifying noise.. Lastly, since there are no fireworksmanufacturers in South Africa, most ofthe money spent on fireworks doesnothing for the local economy.

Religous supportThe notion that fireworks are a

legitimate religious practice is bizarre.Religion is supposed to raise humanconsciousness, to make humans moreaware of their responsibilities, to seebeyond self-indulgence and understandthe negative impacts of a given practice.If that practice results in pain andhardship to others, religion shouldoppose, not support, the practice.It’s a no-brainer to anyone except a

sociopath that fireworks are not anacceptable expression of culture, religionor tradition.

Government-sanctioned schizophre-niaOn the one hand we have noise laws

that prohibit noise in residential areas,and fireworks by-laws that allow themduring certain periods for either tradi-tional or religious festivals. This ambigu-ity in legislative policy is schizophrenic.The same goes for the emergency

management services giving permissionfor displays to be held at schools, whichis prohibited by fireworks by-laws. Whatis the point in having laws if the councilis just going to give people permission tobreak them?Since the Animals Protection Act

states that it is an offence to terrify ananimal, fireworks should be prohibitedin any residential area. Yet we haveby-laws that allow fireworks in residen-tial areas. This is inconsistent.Government needs its head read.The use of fireworks is hopelessly

incompatible with any ethic one canthink of – they have no benefit whatso-ever. They need to be prohibited inprivate hands as soon as possible.

‘Drunk driversare murderers’Upon reading and seeing the festiveseason statistics we have to thank theofficers of all our law enforcementagencies for their efforts to prevent roadcarnage and promote safety on ourhighways and byways.What was disturbing was the number

of drivers arrested for drunk driving.These criminal actors must be regardedas potential serial murderers on ourroads and the law must be amended tomake it easy, very legally easy, toconvict them. In turn, the justice depart-ment has to impose or be requested toinstitute harsh jail sentences.Years ago, as a police officer, I would

in my statement under oath on arrestinga driver for drunk driving, state how thecar was being driven on a public roadand note the smell of alcohol on thedriver’s breath, the driver’s slurredspeech as well as the driver’s attitude.After the arrest the driver would betaken to a doctor and blood would betaken.The whole objective was to obtain a

guilty verdict for the driver on a chargeof drunken driving, which would carrythe heavier sentence.Now, if we see the almost desperate

technical situation law enforcement hasto implement to prove drunken driversguilty, one gets the impression that thedrunken driver has carte blanche inrelation to his rights if ever convicted. Itseems the most problematic issue is theblood samples of the driver getting lostor contaminated or corrupted.Why is the statement of the arresting

official and the witness not sufficient ina court of law to get the drunken driverguilty?The law must bend constitutionally in

favour of the statement and evidence ofthe witnesses in drunken driving cases.The other proposal is that the bloodsample must only come into play whenthe drunken driver appeals. I think thatwill really get a driver thinking twicebefore he drinks and drives.

Westridge create big upsetSEAN CAMPBELL

Westridge Yankees showed great char-acter by collecting all four points onoffer this weekend after their disap-

pointing loss last weekend.On SaturdayWestridge caused the biggest

upset of the season by beating league leaderBothasig 8-5 at Stephen Reagan sports-ground.Bothasig struggled to come to grips with

the off-speed pitching of Dean Martin, whothrew seven innings and only conceded sixhits and five runs.Martin’s consistent pitch-ingwaswell supported byhis field,who onlymade a single error in the game.Bothasig’s best hitters were Andrew Nor-

man (2-2) and Kyle Botha (2-4). Brad Eras-mus hit a solo home-run in the eighth in-nings after which Martin was replaced byJason Ripepi, who kept Bothasig scorelessuntil the end.JP Norman (4), Damon Mitchell (0.1) and

Duanne Feldsman (4.2) did the pitching du-ties.GwynPetersen (3-5), Ripepi (2-4) andVe-on Rix (1-2) did well with the bat for West-ridge.Westridge continued their winning ways

onSundaywhen they trouncedSilvertree 7-2at Stephen Reagan sportsground.Luwayne du Plessis shouldered the pitch-

ing duties for Westridge and restricted Sil-vertree to five hits and two runs. Silvertreescored both of their runs in the second in-nings.Silvertree used Pat Phillips, DaytonWilli-

ams and Dean Jacobs to carry out theirpitching duties.

Petersen (2-5) and Kyle Ripepi (1-2) didwell with the bats for Westridge.

Bellville leapfrog AthloneBellville narrowly beat Athlone 3-1 in a

tough encounter at Parktown sports com-plex on Saturday.A tough pitching duel between the two

sides saw Russell Olivier (5 inn) and CallanPearce (4) of Bellville allowing Athlone fivehits for their run and Carl Michaels (6) andLloyd Stevens (3) conceding four hits, allow-

ing Bellville three runs.Bellville scored two runs in the third in-

nings after catcher Alistair Veale could nothold onto a great throw from Leon Dodgenfrom right field.The error allowed Alan Randall and An-

thony Phillips to score from second and firstbase respectively off the base hit fromJonat-han Phillips.Athlone narrowed the lead to 2-1 in the

sixth innings but Bellville reached the win-ning score with a sacrifice fly fromAnthony

Phillips in the eighth.JonathanPhillips (2-4) andPearce (1-1) did

well with the bat for Bellville, and Dodgen(2-3) and PJ (2-4) did well for Athlone.

Maitland Giants impressMaitland consolidated their top spot in the

promotion league by pounding in the runsagainst Thistle in their 18-0 win at Otterysports field.An excellent pitching display by Carlo

Koks, who has been used sparingly this sea-son, set up the victory for Maitland in fiveinnings.His pitching was backed up with some

good hitting by Jaydee Thorne 4-5 (1 HR, 12b), Kyle Inglis 2-3 (2 HR) and Tauriq George2-3 (1 2b).Maitland scored runs in each inning.
