Tampering with evidence at a crimescene could result in criminals gettingaway with murder.

It also, inevitably, means there is no clo-sure for loved ones.And, police say, evidence collected at

crime scenes found to have been tamperedwith or collected incorrectly is inadmissiblein court.

Warrant Officer Frank Jaftah from theprovincial Forensics Unit says police havelostmany cases because of a lack of evidencein court. “People often touch the evidence orwash surfaces because they’re not knowl-

edgable about solvingcrimes.”Commander at the Se-

rious andViolent CrimesUnit Captain Henry Pe-tersen says people wantto assist the police withcrimes and end up pick-ing up evidence fromcrime scenes mistakenlythinking they’re helping.“Each time a different

evidence sample is col-lected different glovesneed to be used. This is toprevent DNA from beingtransferred and tam-pered with,” Petersensays.Opportunistic crimi-

nals are no help, either.He refers to a case inwhich a delivery truckand a security van cameunder fire.“Community members

got involved at the crimescene and stole the at-tacker’s gun. The gunwas later found in aneighbouring communi-ty, but the evidence fromthe initial crime scenewas tampered with. Thethief was charged with defeating justice andtheft,” he says.Jaftah says theDNAProject is being rolled

out to train people about the correct proce-dure to follow at a crime scene.“The thingswe look for are not always vis-

ible with the naked eye. Sometimes we evenfind that police officers just walk throughthe crime scene,” he says.“Since 2011 I’ve travelled the province ed-

ucating prosecutors, the public and policeofficers about evidence, exhibits and how tobehave at crime scenes.”Veronica Cloete attended the workshop

and wants to see these education drives of-fered to other communities, too.“I learned where I should stand and what

to do when there’s a shooting,” she says.For Shereen Hendricks the highlight of

the workshop was learning what to do aftergunfire. “At shootings and murders peopleusually only look for bullets and don’t real-ise they’re damaging the scene by not con-trolling the crowd,” she says.“Now I know about the importance of foot-

prints, hair and clothing at crime scenes.”The DNA Project, an organisation which

assists the police to educate the communityabout the preservation of evidence, wasstartedafter founderVanessaLynch’s fatherwas murdered and the crime scene was con-taminated.“There are a number of projects which we

provide, and educating people about the im-portance of protecting DNA evidence foundon crime scenes is just one of the facets of

our organisation,” she says. “It was initiallydifficult to convince people to let us conductworkshops, but now we’re conductingawareness workshops with police officerswho arrive at the scene first, but are notqualified to collect evidence. Their job is tocordon off the crime scene, and our aware-ness workshops facilitate their understand-ing of why it is important to do this so thatwhen crime scene investigators arrive,there is uncontaminated and valuable evi-dence still preserved on the scene.”Lynch says the workshops are free and all

the material is provided.Last week themuch debated DNABill was

voted into Parliament which will include aDNA database of individuals who have beenarrested. “The new lawmakes it mandatoryto take DNA samples from suspects at thetime of arrest and then before their releasefrom prison,” she says.“All offenders convicted of serious violent

crimes which include rape, murder andtheft, who are in prison, as well as paroleesand remand detained individuals will alsohave to give samples of their DNA. This lawwill allow police officers to take samplesfrom arrestees and convicted offenders,which will eliminate suspects and preventwrongful convictions. Only the sex of theconvicted person will be revealed on the da-tabase.”Kathleen Dey of Rape Crisis says the win-

dow in which a rape survivor can have evi-dence collected is 72 hours.“Most do not know the importance of this

time period and are not aware of the impor-tant steps to take to preserve as much evi-dence as possible,” she says.“Research which the organisation under-

took last year shows a lack of understandingof the criminal justice systemwas themajorfactor stopping people from reporting andthus securing evidence immediately.”Policing and Forensic Investigation aca-

demic Professor Rudolph Zinn says courtsplace a large focus on DNA and science.“Police statistics for successful investiga-

tions vary because there’s a large differencein results when compared with convictionrates,” he says.The police base its 60% success rate on ar-

rests, whereas the court’s 7% success rate isbased on convictions.“This low success rate is largely based on

lack of evidence pointing to perpetrators be-cause of inadmissible evidence collectedfrom crime scenes.”The question of inadmissible evidence has

led to police recruiting an additional 900fieldworkers to process scenes, Zinn says.“Police also need to look at how they train

their officers. There’s a lack of accountabili-ty and mismanagement at middle manage-ment levels.”

Nap time for security guards workingthe railway lines between Muizen-berg and Simon’s Town is over as res-

idents have raised the alarm and alertedMetrorail.Resident Brenda Geddes says she has no-

ticed the guards sleeping in the area dailyand started making enquiries over the pastsix months. “The security guards are em-ployed by Sechaba security, who in turn,are contracted by Metrorail. When I calledSechaba I was told Muizenberg was consid-ered a hotspot for theft and the guards werethere to keep the train lines safe. However,all they do is sleep, look into our homes andurinate behind the rocks. In some cases youcan see them sleeping for more than fivehours a day,” she says.Geddes explains that many residents are

puzzled by the guards’ purpose and, in onecase, a resident mistook a sleeping guardfor a corpse.“It’s just confusing. If they are there to

keep the station safe then surely theyshouldbepatrollingnot sleeping?Theyalsocause a nuisance by peering into our homesand whistling to each other,” she says.Geddes sent People’s Post images of a

guard outside herwindowwhich have beenforwarded to Metrorail.Metrorail regionalmanagerMthuthuzeli

Swartz says the guards on the photographsform part of a roving patrol working in thesection between Muizenberg and Simon’sTown, and is not deployed at the station.“His alleged inactivity has been brought tothe attention of the section head of Metro-rail Protection Services to investigate. Wetake anyqueries around security seriously,but can only act once substantive detailsare received so that we can investigate spe-cifics,” he says.Swartz says the managers in charge of

the area have been asked to inform securityguards to use the staff ablution facilities.“Should this not be the case, more detailswill beneededas thePassengerRailAgencyof South Africa’s (Prasa) disciplinary poli-cy requires substantive proof in order toproperly sanction inappropriate behav-iour,” he says.Swarts says he has askedmanagers to in-

vestigate the allegations that securityguards peek into the nearby homes, butsays if the homes are visible from a publicspace there is notmuchMetrorail could do.“If these guardsmake specific effort to peekinto the houses outside the bounds of whatthe general public can see, we need moredetails so that this allegation can also be ad-dressed”V If you are experiencing problems with securityguards on the southern line, you can call HerschelSmith on 078 142 5033 or email [email protected]

Assault: prosecutors to mediateMONIQUE DUVAL

The case against two Fish Hoek teenagersfor the assault of a Spanish teenager at theFish Hoek Civic Centre has been postponedas prosecutors have called for mediation totake place.Fish Hoek police spokesperson Warrant

Officer Chris Cloete says the two teenagersappeared in the Simon’s TownMagistrate’sCourt on Wednesday 21 August. The casewas postponed until Tuesday 3 September.“Counter charges of assault were laid

against the Spanish teenager. At this stagepolice have not charged the Spanish teenag-er as the courts have ordered a mediationprocess take place between all the partiesinvolved,” he says.“In some cases the prosecutors try to find

an alternative method in dealing with acase other thangoing to trial.All the partieswill be subpoenaed to court on 3 Septemberwhere they will be given the chance to telltheir side of the story and we will see if wecan find another solution.”A Fish Hoek resident, who asks not to be

named to protect the identity of her chil-dren, says she was shocked to hear whathappened at the party.“My son and daughter went to the party

andwhat they sawwasnothing short of hor-rifying,” she says.In an email to People’s Post, the daughter

says: “I walked into the hall and paid myR40 entry fee to the only adult on the scene.The hall was packed with underage chil-dren who seemed to be going wild. I walkedinto the courtyard and childrenwere drink-ing and smoking.One boyknockedhis headagainst a wall and fell to the floor. Severalfights broke out that night with no adultthere to intervene. It got totally out of hand.The children there should not be drinking,smoking or getting ‘sexual’ at the age of 14or 15 or even 16. The place stank of vomit.”Anofficial at the civic centre said the ven-

ue was hired by Fish Hoek resident JulieHurrell.Hurrell says she is not willing to respond

as she is conducting her own investigation.Belinda Walker, the City of Cape Town’s

Mayoral Committeemember for Communi-ty Services and Special Projects, says be-tween Monday 12 August and Thursday 22August officials have tried to contact thehirer for a response to the allegations.“There has been no answer to phone calls

and no response to voicemailmessages thatwere left. On Thursday 22 August officialswent to the address provided on the permitat 12:00 to speak toher, but no-one answeredthe door,” Walker says.Walker says when a municipal venue is

hired, the organiser is allowed to charge anentry fee if the commercial tariff is paid.“However, the hirer stated she would be

hosting a birthday party. She paid a differ-ent tariff and should not have been charg-ing an entry fee. The deposit has been heldback,” she says.“Due to the fact that the hirer misrepre-

sented herself, she will not be able to bookthe facility again.“We will pursue all necessary avenues to

ensure the difference in tariff is paid to theCity.”In previous comment, Walker said no al-

cohol was permitted at the party and saysthe terms and conditions of the agreementbetween the City and hirer were violated.

CITIZEN JOURNALISM: ONLINE STORY OF THE WEEK

FISH HOEK: MURAL TO SYMBOLISE DIVERSITY

Colouring in positive changesMONIQUE DUVAL

A group of art pupils from Fish HoekHigh School are “colouring theirstreets with goodness” by painting mu-

rals along the walls of a dark alley.Thembi Ndlovu, Lee Simon, Semere Nt-

shangase, Ruben Jansen, Tara Taljaard andSilver Mackenzie, along with their artteacher Rulandi Muller, have taken on thetask to improve the alley between the FishHoek Civic Centre to the library.

Fish Hoek Neighbourhood Watch chair-

person John James says the alley was filledwith graffiti and not a pleasant area to passthrough.

“The walls were filled with graffiti and thealley wasn’t really a safe place for people topass through. Last year I contacted the Cityof Cape Town’s graffiti squad, who cleanedthe walls. I then contacted the school andthey showed interest to help beautifying thearea,” he says.

Muller says she approached the art pupilsfor ideas and asked them to assist her withpainting. “The (pupils) and I met, and start-

ed brainstorming for designs. We came upwith a theme, Colour the Streets with Good-ness. The paintings depict the celebration ofthe diversity of the people in Fish Hoek,” shesays.

Muller explains that the design will in-clude two hands which have various coloursflowing out of them, reflecting the communi-ty’s team work in keeping the area in shape.“The flowing colours will then merge intoone colour on the second wall, which will beaccompanied by a lighthouse showing thecommunity’s connection to the sea. The de-sign for the third wall has not yet been com-pleted, but we are playing around with someideas.”

Ndlovu, a Grade 9 pupil, says he haswalked through the alley on several occa-sions and never felt safe. “It just wasn’t anice play to be and when I heard about themural, I thought it would be a great way tobeautify the area for the community. In thegroup I am considered the paint boy, be-cause I am responsible for ensuring that thepainters have the different colours theyneed at all times,” he says

The group meets after school on Wednes-days to complete the mura,l but due to rainyweather there have been delays in complet-ing the mural. “We plan to complete it in theupcoming months as the weather im-proves,” Muller says.

INSPIRED: Pupils from Fish Hoek High School are painting murals in a dark alley to brighten thearea. Pictured is teacher Rulandi Muller, Semere Ntshangase, Silver Mackenzie and Fish Hoek Neigh­bourhood Watch chairperson John James with Thembi Ndlovu and Lee Simon (front).

Residents urged tounite and achievepositive changeMONIQUE DUVAL

The Ocean View Civic Association (OV-CA) is appealing to residents to unifyand assist them in tackling various is-

sues in the community.OVCA chairperson Oliver Castro ex-

plains there are various issues affecting thecommunity including crime, housing, mu-nicipal issues and unemployment.

He says the association is calling on thevarious organisations in the area to uniteand work together.

“This week the association will be host-ing a meeting to reach out to all organisa-tions, institutions and residents to not onlydiscuss the issues affecting our communi-ty, but to inform them of future plans forthe area,” Castro says.

“There are many people who are doinggreat things, but the efforts are scatteredand isolated. We believe the communityneeds to unite in their efforts to improve thearea for everyone.”

Castro says the association consists of 30members who regularly attend meetings,but says the association needs to reachmore people.

“There are many people who attend meet-ings regularly and there are many whodon’t. We would like to reach out to all theresidents so (that) we can work together,”he says.

Several issues will be discussed at themeeting, including the City of Cape Town’sregeneration programme.

In April 2012, mayor Patricia de Lille in-

troduced the urban regeneration pro-gramme for several communities, includ-ing Ocean View.

The programme aims to help improve thesafety and the socio-economic issues inOcean View, with emphasis on public spac-es.

OVCA deputy chairperson PatrickJoseph says while the regeneration pro-gramme will have a significant impact onthe Ocean View community, it is impera-tive that residents get involved.

“The urban regeneration programmewill change many things in the community,but people need to be informed and to getinvolved,” Joseph says.

There are many issues in the area thatneed urgent attention and we need peopleto understand why their participation inthese meetings is important.”

Joseph says the area is plagued by drugabuse and the association would like toreach out to young people in the communi-ty.

Thanks for help during bereavementOn the night of Thursday 25 July I receiveda phone call which no parent wishes tohear: your son has been killed in an acci-dent on the M3.As I arrived at the scene of the accident,

and seeing the lifeless body of my son,many questions raced through my head.Why must a young man, who has not

even reached the prime of his life, whowasso talented and showed so much promise,be taken away?It all seemed so unfair.The next fewweeks were just a blur, still

asking questions (and) attending psycho-logical counselling. Only nowwhen thingsseem to become normal again, do I realiseso many people entered my life during mytime of grief, whom I did not even thank.

I wish to thank the doctor and paramed-ics who unsuccessfully attempted to resus-citate my son. I wish to thank the policefor their professional conduct at the sceneof the accident.All the people who sent flowers, cards

and messages I wish to thank you. I wishto thank Shane Meyer of Shane’s Towingin Noordhoek, who towed my son’s carfrom the scene and stored the car for morethan three weeks at no cost. Shane alsobrought my son’s personal belongingsfrom the car because I did not have thecourage to face the wreck in which my sonwas killed.As a family we are still grieving and

there are still so many unanswered ques-tions. Thus we cannot get closure. Witnessaccounts to the accident confirmed a bak-kie was responsible for the accident.To the driver of the bakkie, you have tak-

en away a son, a brother and a father toa daughter – someone who could have con-tributed so much more. I trust that yourconscience will haunt you for the rest ofyour life.Keith Jacobs, Fish Hoek

Shock, sadnessat teen behaviourI cannot describe the shock and sadnessthat swept over me as I read the articleabout the party for under-18s at the FishHoek Civic Centre (“‘Assaulted’ at party”,People’s Post, 20 August).I know this will cause a lot of negativity

and criticism among our community to-wards teenagers.Unfortunately this attitude will not help

anything and I, as a believer, see this arti-cle as a wake-up call to “...strengthen thehands which hang down and the weakknees... (Hebrews 12:12) and earnestly startpraying for change among our teens.We, as parents, need to take hands and

stand together in prayer for our children.The question to ask ourselves as parents is:How do we react to teenagers drinking anddrugging?We cannot give up on the teenagers.

Faith is to believe in what we do not see.So let us believe there is hope for our chil-dren’s future.Let us unite as parents and hit this wave

of destruction with a counter-attack ofprayer.Please email me at benayahbuild-

[email protected] if you agree.Estelle, Email

Laser lights: a call to take actionWithout prejudice, the letter “Blinded bya laser light” (People’s Post, 20 August) isof particular interest as I experienced (the)same scenario.The description of the blinding effect en-

countered (as a result of the) laser light isabsolutely accurate in every respect.The only differences are that a Corsa

LDV was the vehicle in my instance andthis incident occurred in Putter Road,Lakeside.I (went to) Kirstenhof Police Station,

where I was redirected to Muizenberg Po-lice Station. The end result was that I haveno legitimate charge, as theTrafficRegula-tion in SouthAfrica, as understood,makes

no provision that prohibits such despica-ble conduct.However, there is sufficient mention in

the Aviation Act – but it is limited to thatsector – which is punishable as it is classi-fied as a very serious offence.Being prepared for such foolishness is

impossible.(There) should be legislation so that

such action can be punished, (and) vehi-cles impounded and deregistered.I truly hope the respective agencies are

able to find sufficient reason to investigatesuch matters with recourse against thosedelinquent perpetrators.Arnie Marais, Email

‘Sharing’ disabledparking bayI had to visit Simon’s Townon themorningof theWednesday 21August to collect somedocuments.As legal disabled drivers, we tend to get

very frustrated when the general publicuse our bays.Can you imagine my shock to see wheel-

able to carry out my business.Richard Evans, Fish Hoek

‘20% of peanutsis very little’I wasmost disappointed to find such an an-ti-worker attitude in my People’s Post. I re-fer to the cartoon of 20 August.Percentages, at best, are misleading.

Firstly, one has to look at time trends. Itis a fact that over the yearsworkers’ wagesdo not even keep upwith inflation. Second-ly, 20% of “peanuts” is actually very littlein living costs’ terms. I don’t see your car-toonist complaining when senior businessexecutive (and) MPs get 40% increases onhuge amounts!Dr Ed Wethli, Email

Your SMSes. Teenagers are rebelling. They will lookfor any excuse to party. I sent my 16-year-old daughter and she had lots of fun, butshe was offered a drink of water from afriend she hadn’t seen since primaryschool.

. Wakeup, FishHoek.Drunkenness andalcohol abuse is abounds in your midst.Drunk men attract prostitutes. Our muchvaunted Main Road becomes very seedy atnight. (This is) not my opinion, but that ofa rehabilitated prostitute.

. I do believe that if any of the civic cen-tres are hired by individuals, regardless ofwho or what they are, it should be inspect-ed and if there is any unruly behaviour ora complete disregard for rules and regula-tions governing a facility, or lies put on apermit, the facility and event should beshut down. DD

. How upsetting to read on the frontpage and page two about the state of ourchildren. I believe in the power of prayerand see this as a wake-up call to all seriousabout their faith to stand together as oneandpraywithout (ceasing) for the childrenof our Valley.

. I am appalled at the antics displayedby some ofmy fellow pupils. I am inmatricat Fish Hoek High School and this partywaswidely considered, bymost of theolder(pupils) at Fish Hoek, to be a Grade 8 and9 event. This kind of behaviour disgustsme, and I can completely empathise withthe surrounding residents who were dis-turbed.My (empathy) to theboyswhowerebeaten up. Although I wouldn’t blamethem, I hope this doesn’t cause residentsto give Fish Hoek pupils a bad reputation,as it was only a small portion of pupils at-tending. Thank you.

. We love Fish Hoek dry and quiet. Thisis why we came here. No to wine housesin Fish Hoek. The Defenders of Fish Hoek

. There seems to be pipes being laid toconnect Fish Hoek’s water supply reser-voir to the Clovelly pump.What is this for?Is our water going to be diverted else-where?

. A heartfelt thank you to the over-worked staff of FalseBayHospital’s casual-ty department. Your strong support, at atime when I definitely had to make a life-changing decision, has – in turn – set mefirmly on the road towards overcomingpersistent and years-long alcoholism.Dav-id van der Merwe

. Happy with taxi fare increases. Petrolprices gone up many times. Fish Hoekfares didnot goup for ages.Get yourpriori-ties right – if you can afford cellphones,you can afford fare increases.Magda, FishHoek

. It is all very well that they hike theprice when petrol goes up, but will theylower prices when or if it goes down? It isnever donewith foods or commodities. Thestuff is hiked up, but everybody remainssilent when there is a drop in fuel prices.

. Thanks for the SMS column where wecan air our views and read what others go(through). Sometimes it is similar experi-ences.

. Telkom responded tomy request with-in 24 hours. Excellent service. Thank you.

Ajax continues Engen KO winning streakLIAM MOSES

The final of the Engen Knockout Chal-lenge went down to the wire as penal-ties were needed to separate Ajax Cape

Town and ASD Academy on Sunday.The final was the culmination of months

of qualifying matches and over 40 matchesat the weekend, and pitted together two ofthe title favourites.People’s Post is the tournament’s print me-

dia sponsor.The Urban Warriors breezed through the

group stages, quarter-finals and semis with

a perfect record as expected, scoring 13 goalsand conceding just one.

ASD had a less a comfortable route to thefinal, drawing against United FC in thegroup stage and scraping past Bishop Lavison penalties in the semis.

Buoyed by their success in the earlierrounds, Ajax needed no time to settle in thefinal and were in all-out attacking mode assoon as the first whistle sounded.

The defending champions won the mid-field battle and imposed their style of playon the game to take full control and keepASD pinned in their own half.

Ajax regularly got in behind the opposi-tion defence, but couldn’t come up with anaccurate final ball to take the lead.

The second half started as the first had,with Ajax pushing for a breakthrough andASD hesitant to commit numbers to attack.

Though the Urban Warriors continued tolook dangerous, they seldom threatened andfound the opposition keeper up to the taskwhen tasted from long range.

Neither team found a goal in the remain-ing minutes, and, in the end, Ajax won 4-3on penalties, after the match ended in a goal-less draw after regular time, to take their

sixth title in the 10th instalment of the Chal-lenge.

Meanwhile, tournament hosts Santos hada tournament to forget. The People’s Teamfinished sixth overall, after finishing secondin 2012.

Pinelands club Old Mutual Academy fin-ished fifth, Grassy Park’s Crusaders endedseventh and Mitchell’s Plain side KenparkUnited were eighth. Hanover Park FC fin-ished ninth and Green Point Salesians fin-ished 10th overall.V To view galleries of all the Engen Knockout Chal-lenge action, visit www.peoplespost.co.za.
