CARLO PETERSEN@Carlo_Petersen

Claims of a new housing development beingbuilt on “unsuitable” land is at the heart ofa storm brewing in Manenberg.Furious residents living near the con-

struction site say they havemade objectionsabout the state of the land, but their com-plaints have fallen on deaf ears.The root of the objections being made by

locals include the land having a high watertable as well as the roads and pavements be-ing damaged due to construction.Others are livid about potential health is-

sues as a result of dust and sand blowingaround.Community worker Lorna Dodgen feels

the erven – situated betweenZwartskop, ZakandWabashroads – areunsuitable forbuild-ing, but the City of Cape Town counters thatthere is nothing wrong with the state of thesite.“Objections were submitted but the City

still approved the plans,” Dodgen says.“When you dig a hole about a metre deep,

murky water can be seen, whichmost likelycontains a high level of salinity. They justcame into the community and started con-struction without notification.”DaphneyBloemhasbeen living in thearea

for over 40 years and is equally distressedby the development.“I live opposite the construction site and

with the wind constantly blowing there issand everywhere. We don’t have roads andour children can’t even play in the park any-more because they tore it all down,” she la-ments.“They also came and uprooted the trees…

Those trees were over 46 years old and pro-

vided us with lovely scenery. Now it’s allgone.”Despite the stir the housing development

under construction is causing, MayoralCommittee member for Human SettlementsTandeka Gqada says council has made surethat everything is legitimate.“The City called a public meeting on 16

April last year to update the community onthe start of the civil works and the meetingwas well attended by the Manenberg com-munity,” she says.All the requirements for the land to be ap-

proved for development were met, Gqadacounters.“Comprehensive public participation

processes take place as part of the environ-mental authorisation and town planningprocesses, through the project steering com-mittee and through public meetings,” shesays.“All the relevant authorities have consid-

ered all objections received in issuing envi-

ronmental and town planning approval. Theconstruction phase of the development hascommenced on the basis of these approvals.”When asked about the high levels of water

underground, Gqada explained that the erfis classified in accordancewith theNationalHome Builders Regulatory Council (NH-BRC) as Class C.“In general, the foundation conditions on

erf 104701 are favourable for residential de-velopment,” she says.NHBRC regional quality assessorMichael

Vaughn explains that there are no set con-struction requirements for land with a highwater content.“Each case is viewed separately, but the

onus is on the engineers, designers and ar-chitects to ensure the soil is suitable. A geo-technical engineer will then provide theproper foundation solutions for that specificland,” he says.Dodgen says the community will be meet-

ing soon to discuss the best way forward.

TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN@LeeLaVidaLoca

Grandparents put you on their lapand tell you stories. Some fix you asandwich when you return fromschool, others give hugs or advice onlife-altering decisions.But for some elderly, the only sto-

ries they have to share are havingtheir telephone lines cut, being givenonly a slice of bread and a cup ofblack coffee for the day and not see-ing a single cent of their pension.This is the reality formanyseniors

living across Cape Town.Noreen (70) says shenever thought

she’d have to suffer the way she doesat her age.She shares her two-bedroom home

with two of her three sons. Her sec-ond eldest was fatally shot years ago.Every month, as soon as she re-

ceives her pension, she is forced tohand it over to her drug addicted son andtrusts hewill notwaste it to support his hab-it.She is in a difficult position as her re-

stricted mobility means she is dependantupon her children for their help.Thoughts of getting an interdict against

her sons are put paid as she would need tofind alternative accommodation or some-one else who could stay with her.She initially made the arrangement to

give her pension to her offspring for themto pay accounts and do the shopping as shestruggles to walk far distances.“I depend on their help and that makes it

difficult to not give them the money. Theyhave promised many times to get help, butit never lasts long,” she says.

She often finds herself having to sit in thedark with no electricity and survives onwhatever her sons leave for her to eat.“Life wasn’t always this way. After my

husband diedmy sons got involved with thewrong crowd. I was never able to get themback on the right path,” she says.What started as just borrowing somemon-

ey soon became a regular habit and whenshe refused to hand over cash, items woulddisappear from the house.“First the kettle went, then the toaster,

the telephone and so it continued. Everytime it would be something bigger until Ihad had enough and told them to get out,”she says.Her children promised to kick the habit andfind help, which nudged her to give them asecond chance.“I can’t move away because I have no-

where else to go. You give your children eve-rything you can, but you never expect to re-ceive this in return,” she says.Western Cape Older Persons Forum rep-

resentative Mary Turok says many seniorsare vulnerable because they are living withfamily. “They don’t report abuse or exploi-tation because they are scared of being putout on the street,” she says.In such cases the elderly person is urged

to tell someone outside of the family whocan then report the matter to the authori-ties. “If they don’t feel comfortable going tothe police or a familymember, they can con-tact Action on Elder Abuse or go to their lo-cal social services office,” Turok adds.Pensioner James (66) says he and his wife

have had to resort to hiding food in theirbedroom cupboard to ensure they haveenough to eat. Their son has been addictedto drugs for years and uses their last pennyto sustain his habit. “We mostly make surethere is bread and tinned food to eat becausewe never know when there will be electrici-ty to cook a meal. One moment there willbe enoughelectricity; thenextmonthwearein the dark,” he says.“My wife used to talk to her family on the

phone, but now we don’t even have a phoneanymore. My wife is an excellent cook, butdo you think there are any pots left to cookin or plates to eat out of?” he fumes.James sayshehates to thinkabout theday

he will no longer be around to takecare of his wife.“I can’t imagine leaving her to

fight on her own. It is sad when youknow you have a good child andthat’swhywestickaround.Youkeepthinking maybe your message willgo through to him tomorrow, but to-morrow never comes,” he says.There are many old people suffer-

ing under children addicted to drugsand alcohol.Mayoral Committee member for

Social Development Suzette Littlesays elderly people suffering due todrug or alcohol addicted children isa commonproblemacross themetro.“This problem is not linked to a

specific area but it is more commonin your poorer areas, where there isa high level of substance abuse,” shesays.Gathering statistics to evaluate the

scope of the problem is difficult, saysLittle, as seniors are reluctant to report anyabuse against them.“Elderly people are very proud so usually

it is a family member or a friend informingus.We find that wellness drives is one of thefew (avenues) we (have where) the elderlyopen up to us. This is why it is so importantto have such events,” Little explains.“Wellness drives don’t only create the op-

portunity for us to inform the seniors aboutthe importanceofhealthy living, but createsthe platform for us to inform them abouttheir rights and options.”The safest way to prevent seniors having

to give off their pension is to load their pen-sion onto a card,which they can swipewhenpurchasing goods.This, however, is not the preferred choice,

saysLittle. “Notmany seniorswant toworkwith a card. They prefer to have cash be-cause they don’t always understand how touse the card,” she adds.Family and friends are being urged to

look after their parents, grandparents andelderly neighbours. “We need to value theseniors in our communities and treat themwith love and respect. If anyone knows ofany old person being neglected they areurged to contact theCity’s call centre so thata social worker can be sent to the house.”Police spokesperson Constable Zita Nor-

man says they have receivedmany requestsfrom elderly people seeking assistance withtheir children or grandchildren.Seniors always try to findhelp for the chil-

dren at a rehabilitation centre instead ofasking for an interdict, she says.“We assist many seniors asking for help

for their adult children, which is sad. Wehelp them find placement for the addictedperson at a rehabilitation centre and advisethem about exploitation and domesticabuse,” she says.Pensioners seeking police assistancewith

interdicts are advised to go to the third floorat Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.“Interdicts are free,”Norman says. “Once

they have completed the necessary docu-ments the interdict will be brought to theirlocal police station,where the relevant offic-ers will then serve the person the papers.”V Contact Action on Elder Abuse on (021) 424 0574or 080 000 3081.

A surge in gang-related shootings has leftHanover Park residents distressed and de-spondent as they enter yet another newyear threatened by violence.Police have confirmed an escalation in

gang shootings over the festive season andrecent weeks, saying despite makingmanyarrests, convictions are hard to come by.The ongoing bloodshed has left residents

despondent anddesperate as they feel thereis nobody to turn to anymore.Nyanga Cluster Commander General

RobbieRobberts saysdespite police and theCity of Cape Town’s best efforts, there hasdefinitely been amarked increase in activi-ty in the area’s busy streets.“We are making regular arrests related

to gang violence and have even started tar-geting the kingpins, but once we make thearrest, what happens after that is out of ourhands,” Robberts says.“Within a few weeks, sometimes days,

the gangsters are back on the streets be-cause the justice system has so many loop-holes.”Mayoral Committee member for Safety

and Security JP Smith echoes Robberts’sentiment.He says since the City of Cape Town’s in-

troduction of the Ceasefire Campaignacross the Cape Flats there has been a 50%reduction in gang-related murders.But something needs to be done to keep

the perpetrators behind bars, Smith ar-gues.“The City is doing way more than it

should be to curb gang violence, but the con-viction rate is basically non-existent,” hesays.“We’ve been making arrests and evicting

druglords, but the justice system is a Statedepartment and there is nothing we can doabout that process.”Residents are now starting to feel hope-

less about the problem and have given upseeking solutions, as every year they facethe same dilemma.Community worker Elizabeth Bantom

says the feeling among residents is thatgang violence in Hanover Park will neverend.“The people see the police arrest culprits

but then two or three days later they areback on streets doing their thing again,” shesays.The justice system needs some serious at-

tention if gangsters are to be rehabilitatedand the situation will remain unchanged ifthe system stays the same, Bantom says.“Right now the people think there will

never be peace in Hanover Park.”Ricardo Maandorp (47) has been living in

the area for most of his life and has had hisfair share of encounters with gangsters anddrug addicts. “The gang and drug problemsare definitely related because most of theseguys doing the shooting are addicts,” he

says. “We all grow up with gangsterism anddrug lords right on our doorstep and for theyouth here there are not many other lifestyleoptions besides sport and education. I try and

put enough energy into getting my kids tohave good morals and focus on school andsports, but at the end of the day the choiceis theirs.”

Their love story started more than six dec-ades ago.

And while old age often brings forgetful-ness, Adriaan and Erica Eyden rememberthe day they met as if it were yesterday.

The veteran lovebirds recently celebratedtheir 60th wedding anniversary and insisttheir romance is still very much alive.

Adriaan, affectionately known as Archie,met Erica (nee Paulsen) at the age of 19 whenthey both lived in Wynberg.

“Her family moved to Lansdowne and I re-member coming to visit her and leaving herhouse too late to catch thebus. I oftenwalkedhome and was quite happy to do so,” Archierecalls. “Show me a young man who is will-ing to do that for his girlfriend these days,”he quips.

The Eydens are the only siblings fromboth sides of their families to reach this

milestone.They were married on 26 December 1953

and were blessed with five children – Joy,Gladys, George, Sharon and Judith – andseven grandchildren.

When asked what has kept them togetherfor so long, Erica replies: “It’s all about giveand take. We like to compromise and worktogether towards a common goal.”

Adriaan adds: “Keeping up with the Jone-ses is not important. Happiness does not de-pend on material things. It’s not about whatyou have on the outside, but more aboutwhat you have on the inside,” he says.

Erica explains that they have had theirups and downs, but always being on thesame page regarding every obstacle theyface has helped them overcome their prob-lems. “Life does not always run smoothly,but we pray together and discuss the wayforward without choosing to disagree witheach other. That’s the best way,” she says.

The couple’s daughter Joy Petersen says

their long marriage is based on love, trustand fidelity.

“Above all, being spiritual made all the

difference in their early married life. Nowit continues to do so in the twilight of theiryears with us, their children,” she says.

A Manenberg “good samaritan” is ready tosue a security company after allegedly beingassaulted by a guard at Nyanga Junction.African Security Solution Management

(ASSM) could soon be in hot water after oneof their security guards “attacked” Ray-mond Jacobs (47) on 3 January.The Inga Court resident, who

ended up with a badly bruisedface and ribs, says he got beatenup for trying to do a good deed.The security guard has since

been arrested and charged withassault with intent to do griev-ous bodily harm.However, Jacobs says this is

not enough and intends to suethe security company the ac-cused works for as well.Jacobs told People’s Post the

incident happened inside theshoppinghubat around 17.50 af-ter the security guard apparent-ly closed the gate of a StandardBank ATM while an elderly woman and achild were still busy at the machine.“The child managed to get out before the

gate closed, but the frantic woman got stuckinside and was struggling to get out beforethe security guard eventually opened thegate,” Jacobs says.“He was laughing and when the woman

got out, she asked him if he was an idiot. Hestarted swearing at her and in a very rudemanner told her to leave the mall. I then ap-proached himand told him that he shouldn’tbe so rude and that he could have hurt thechild by being so negligent to close the gatelike that.”A police report on the incident says the se-

curity guard then attacked Jacobs in fullview of the public, choking and swearing athim while threatening to beat him up.The statement continues that when

Jacobs tried to report the incident to mallmanagement, the security guard attackedhim and punched him in the face before tell-ing him to leave.“I feel violated and humiliated! I gave him

no reason to attack me… I am in the processof taking legal action against thesecurity guard and company,”Jacobs says.“Irrespective of what kind of

criminal you are, not even thepolice can assault you. So whatgives him the right?”He believes he has a strong

case against the security guardand ASSM, but the company be-lieves otherwise.ASSM manager Abdul Abra-

hams says the security guardhas denied assaulting Jacobsand the company is backingtheir employee in the case.“Wedon’twant to be drawn in-

to this thing until the court case is over.Right now we cannot confirm or deny thatthe incident took place,” he says.“He (Jacobs) is a drunkard and a liar. He

faked his medical report and even asked thecompany to pay him R2 000 for the traumaand to keep quiet. My guy says he didn’t doanything wrong and I believe him.”Abrahams says the accusedhas since been

moved to work at another location after be-ing promoted to a senior site manager.Jacobs admits to being a social drinker,

but denies asking for money or using a fakemedical report.The court case resumesonTuesday18Feb-

ruary.

As the leanest month of the year leavesmost counting their rands and cents,scamsters are cashing in on consumers’desperation for a gooddeal or free vouch-er.A local information technology serv-

ice provider warns that con artists areout in full force and advises all internetusers to know the methods used inscams.

Malicious linksThe easiest way to be targeted is

through an email, text or Facebook post,supposedly offering a great deal.“Generally, don’t click on a link from

someone you don’t know as it could bespyware or a malicious programme de-signed to capture passwords and otherpersonal information,” warns LeaineBrebber, headof communications for theservice provider.If you don’t remember entering a com-

petition or ordering a package and thedeal seems too good to be true, it is proba-bly a scam.Examples of such cons are the free

R500 Woolworths and Pick n Pay giftvouchers you can supposedly win bysharing a link on your Facebook page.“Always check the source of the link,

even if it’s from someone you know. Ascammer could have hijacked their ac-count and sent it on their behalf,” Breb-ber says.Phony offers come in the form of an

email, text message or Facebook postsaying that you’ve won a prize or thatyou’ve qualified for a massive discountor sum of money on a gift card.You are then required to enter exten-

sive personal information in order to re-ceive it or share the link with yourfriends.“Don’t do it! The more personal infor-

mation they have, the easier it will be toget into your bank account, for example.Ignore links offering ridiculous dis-counts and steer clear of sites that offergift cards at unheard of prices,” she urg-es. “You know the saying ‘If it sounds toogood to be true, it probably is’? This is

the general rule when it comes toscams.”Some sites do offer amazing deals, like

Groupon and Superbalist (Citymob), butit’s the unknown sites that you need towatch out for. The ones with strangelyspelt names orwhich offer highly soughtafter items like iPads and iPhones at ab-normally low prices should be treatedwith caution.Beverywarywhenenteringyour cred-

it card details onto unknown sites andmake sure that the site is secure.The web address should begin with ht-

tps:// instead of http://.The “s” means that it is secure.“We recommend using a separate card

for online purchases and setting yourlimit as low as possible, so that if yourdetails are stolen, the damage will beminimal. It’s also not advisable to saveany of your credit card details on a sitefor future purchases,” Brebber advises.Dubious websites can also pull you in

BylawBylaw isisuncuncorkorkededLiquor traders may now submit their appli-cations for extended trading hours.The City of Cape Town has approved the

bylaw extending operating hours to 20:00 aswell as allowing trade on Sundays.

The new bylaw will be implemented as ofSaturday 1 February.People’s Post readers share their views.

ELENORELENOR RICHARDSRICHARDS says the new bylaw spells dis-aster. “We have so many problems (fuelled by liq-uor) in this country already. Selling alcohol for ex-tended hours will only increase crime and we cando without that.”

KKAASHIEFASHIEFA WILLIAMSWILLIAMS is concerned about roadsafety. “Some people have a couple of drinks afterwork and get behind a steering wheel drunk. Thisis how deaths on the roads are caused and thelonger trading hours will only bring more of that,”she insists.

BUYISWABUYISWA BLBLOMOM is against the new bylaw. “Peo-ple do horrible things when they are drunk. In myarea someone gets raped or killed every weekendwhile under the influence. Having access to liquorfor extended times will just increase thesecrimes,” she says.

TUSOTUSO MAKETAMAKETA fears later trading hours for liquoroutlets will result in an increase in bar brawls.“This is a bad idea. There are already too manyfights taking place at shebeens. Later tradinghours mean more drunk people and more fights.”

YYOLANDI VOLANDI VANAN DERDER WESWESTHUIZENTHUIZEN says extendingtrading hours will be convenient for customers.“Many people aren’t able to make it in time toget the store open. It will also be convenient tobe able to purchase a bottle of wine on a Sunday.”

IIVVANAN ALBERALBERTYNTYN is against the idea of liquor beingsold on a holy day. Drinkers have six other daysto indulge, he argues. “People drink enough ona Saturday and shouldn’t drink on a Sunday. Ifthe liquor stores are open people will buy evenif they don’t need to drink.”

GGUYUY CRCRONJEONJE says people who want alcohol willfind a way to get it. “If liquor stores operate laterit will have a positive impact on the economy. Thechoice to drink responsibly is a choice the personmakes. There will always be a bar or restaurantserving alcohol even if liquor stores are closed.”

A probe was recently launched into smallbut irregular deductions made from pen-sioners who drew their old age grants atPick n Pay paypoints in December.This paypoint servicewasmade available

to all social grant beneficiaries in April lastyear, by means of their Sassa cards, whichhelps avoid standing in long queues forhours at Sassa paypoints each month.During December several pensioners

were charged additional fees ranging be-tween R2 and R10 when withdrawing theirpensions at Pick n Pay.According to statistical reports for 2013,

2.8 million people receive social grants inthe Western Cape alone.Of this, 258 759 are old age grants.

InvestigationOne pensioner laments: “This is the first

time a fee was charged. And why was thefee not the same across the board? Pick nPay had a notice up that all Sassa transac-tions were free and now they are charging!”When this particular pensioner contacted

the Sassa call centre, she was advised by aconsultant that thematter was under inves-tigation.On enquiry, Pick n Pay customer service

director Jonathan Ackerman confirmedthat the store does not charge any fee for thewithdrawal of Sassa grant payments.“We have consulted with Sassa and it ap-

pears that some Sassa transactions mayhave incurred transaction fees. Pick n Pay

considers the payment of social grants as aservice to our communities and does notprofit from it at all,” he says.He referred customers who found they

have been charged a transaction fee to theSassa call centre.Sassa spokesperson Shivani Wahab also

confirmed that there should be no transac-tion fees charged when beneficiaries accesstheir social grants via approved merchantssuch as Pick n Pay.“Transaction fees apply only in the case

of ATM withdrawals, where standard ATMrates apply,” she says.“We will have to take the matter up with

Cash Paymaster Services (CPS), who is con-tracted to Sassa for the payment of socialgrants, for further investigation.”

RefundsIt is not certain yet what the outcome of

this investigation is, but this reporter couldestablish that no additional deductionswere made from the pensioners in questionduring January.The deductions made in December, how-

ever, were not refunded, according to one ofthe pensioners.“According to aSassa consultant themon-

ey is still on my account but the Pick n Paysystem shows nothing,” she complained onMonday.CPS is a business unit of global company

NET1, which provides payment solutionsand transaction processing services acrossseveral industries.It is further stated that the company de-

rives up to 66 %of its revenue from its socialwelfare grant distribution business.At the time of going to print, this reporter

had not received any updates on theprogress or outcome of the investigation.

TIME FOR GIVING: China Town in Ottery handedout food and toy hampers to children from under-privileged areas in Ottery, Hanover Park andGrassy Park to brighten their Christmas. ChinaTown, together with the Ottery Baptist Church,gives hampers twice a year to the underprivileged,once in winter and again at Christmas. Mr Liouof the China Town Trust believes business shouldgive back to communities wherever they can tohelp those in need. “The children are the mostvulnerable, and the parents in these communitiescan’t always afford to buy food, not to mentiongifts to brighten up the lives of their children onceor twice a year.” The hampers were put togetherby the China Town management team and thechurch. It included food, sweets and toys, muchof which were donated by the tenants in ChinaTown. Pictured are a woman and child dressedfor the occasion. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Less than 1% of skilled blind people are em-ployed.

This shocking statistic was recently re-leased by the Cape Town Society for theBlind.

Andmore than 99%of the disabled popula-tion are jobless due to widespread discrimi-nation and ignorance in the workplace de-spite having the skills to be employed, saysCEO Lizelle van Wyk.

Moreover, the majority of visually im-paired people in South Africa are unem-ployed, she continues, estimating thisnumber to be as high as 90%.

While the benefits of employing compe-tent visually impaired employees are count-less, most businesses continue to close thedoor in applicants’ faces.

Application declinedMziyanda Mpiyane (44) previously held

top positions as chief executive officer andmanaging director before being declaredpartially blind. He resigned three years agoafter finding it virtually impossible to keepup with his fully sighted colleagues. Mpiya-ne was unemployed for almost a year as hebattled to find a company willing to recruita disabled worker. Despite being a BComgraduate and achieving his degree in educa-tion, businesses declined the opportunity towork with him. “I don’t think the workplaceis ready for people with disabilities. Manycompanies say they are looking for peoplelike us, but it is still a battle to find work,”he says.

With four children to support, Mpiyane’swife was forced to go job hunting after being

a stay-at-home mother for seven years.A year after entering the unemployment

ranks, he was eventually employed at a me-dia company as a contract administrator.

He works on a computer installed withsoftware to make working online easier.

And while his new position is not wherehe would have seen himself 10 years ago, heis happy to finally be employed.

Business senseMichael Bagraim of the Cape Chamber of

Commerce says employing disabled work-ers boosts the BEE ratings of a company.This could then lead to interest from busi-nesses wishing to work with establishmentsboasting a high employment equity percent-age. “Employingadisabledpersonhasmanybenefits.We have found that disabled peopleare more loyal to a company and their levelof productivity is better because they realisethat their employer has done their utmostto create employment for them,” he says.

Blinded by ignoranceSociety’s understanding of the challenges

facing the blind is very limited, says Ar-mand Bam, CEO of League of Friends of theBlind. The only shortcoming of employinga blind or visually impaired person is thestigma attached and the psycho-social as-pect of people’s ignorance. “The advantages,however, are endless. People are too quickto point out or seek the limitations in ablind,visually impaired or otherwise disabled per-son.”

The organisation has an independent de-velopment programme for adults and aimsto equip them with skills so they may gainindependence. Participants are taught howto adjust to blindness and from there they

are reintegrated into the working sector.The NGO also assists people who might

have gone blindwhileworking at a companyand intervenes in the best way possible toassure that the individual retains his or herjob by following the correct procedures.

Fit for the jobIn a chirpy yet professional voice, Eliza-

beth Maphike (43) answers the phone aftera few rings. She is blind, but has been volun-teering at the Cape Town Society for theBlind for just over three years. She lost her

sight 12 years ago due to hypertension.Her duties include administration and re-

ception, which she handles with ease.Maphike is currently completing her final

year in Public Relations and has completedcourses tobetterher chancesof findinga job.

“Companies rather tell youwhat you can’tdo instead of giving you a chance at showingthem what your abilities are,” she says.

Maphike is also the secretary of South Af-rican Blind Women in Action and compilesnewsletters for other organisations and fa-cilities for the blind.

Intruders took his cellphone from his bed-side table while he was asleep and he didn’thear a sound.According to police, the Samuels family

was asleep owing to dust inhaled from aburned CD.Authorities are now urging residents to

ensure their windows and doors are closedbefore turning in for the night as thieves areagain using thismethod after themodus op-erandi seemingly died down.Around 04:15 lastThursday,Rylands resi-

dent Sammy Samuels and his family wereasleep while their house was burgled.It is suspected that at least four men were

inside the Samuels family home in GamsaClose after they gained entry through thesliding door on their balcony.The family first discovered their house

had been broken into after a screechingnoise woke Samuels.“I heard a sound and reached for my cell-

phone, which I had placed on the bedside ta-ble and saw it wasn’t there. I decided to getup to see what the sound was and if my wifehad taken my cellphone,” Samuels says.When he entered the lounge, the father of

one says he found ash and burned paper onthe couch at the bottom of the staircase.“My wife hadn’t seen my cellphone and

when I went upstairs the blinds blowingagainst the window told me the door was

open,” he says.After noticing various other items miss-

ing, the family notified the police.“They arrived within 15 minutes and ex-

plained that they suspected we were put tosleep by the thieves who must have blownthe dust into the house,” he says.“The scariest part is that they walked

right past me and I didn’t even wake up. Mytwo grandchildren also live here. What ifthey stole one of them and I didn’t evenknow?”The thievesmade awaywith a laptop, cell-

phone, PlayStation, games and other smallitems.Lansdowne police spokesperson Consta-

ble Nkululeko Mnyaka confirms the inci-dent, saying this is not the first time theyhave experienced this method being used.He says it is difficult to determine what

exactly in the disc puts residents to sleep.“Once the CD is burned there is no evi-

dence to prove it was, in fact, a CD. If a vic-tim finds a CD that has not been completelyburned, we can bring it in for lab testing,”he says.

In the interim, police are urging resi-dents to secure the outside of their proper-ties and to ensure that their doors are lockedand alarms set at night.Thornhill Residents Association chair-

person Latifa Omar says she hasn’t heardof the CD burning method being used in along time.“It was once used regularly during bur-glaries, but it has been quite a whilesince such an incident was reported. Ihaven’t really been aware of much bur-glaries in that area so it could be thatcrime is on the increase again,” shesays.

Number of drivers droppingDriving appears to have levelled and

even started falling in many of theworld’s advanced economies long be-

fore the global downturn in 2008, accordingto the International Transport Forum.

The Organisation for Economic Coopera-tion reports that the slowdown shows an endto several decades in which car use grewtwice as fast as gross domestic products andincome and is consistent across the USA,Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Ger-many, Sweden, the Netherlands and evenAustralia.

Waning car use in the USA, Europe andAsia leaves the future of oil demand depend-ent on drivers in emerging markets.

According to Long Run Trends in Car Use,a report by the ITF, “the economic recessionand relatively high fuel prices explain partof the decline in the growth of travel – butnot all of it. The reasons are complex andmay vary from country to country.

“There is still considerable uncertaintyabout why car use among young adults isfalling so rapidly and whether it representsa voluntary change in lifestyle, a responseto tough economic conditions or the in-creased availability of public transport andthe internet,” the report states.

“Slowing population growth, populationageing and increasing urbanisation contrib-uted to the change in passenger use in sever-al countries. There is evidence that car usehas also been reduced through policy inter-vention, particularly in urban areas.”

The British transport department’s2012National Travel Survey said mobilitymay also be declining across other modes oftransport.

In 2012 the average person in Britain trav-elled 10 768km, 4% less than the annual aver-age from 1995 to 1997. The number of tripsby private transport was down by 14% andthe use of public transport was up by 2%.

Fuel costs are clearly a factor in manycountries. Crude oil prices have quadrupledsince 2000 though pump prices for petrol anddiesel have been proportionately smallerdue to taxes. Nonetheless, driving has be-come significantly more expensive so house-holds are travelling less and choosing moreefficient modes of transport.

A similar trend was observed in the 1970s

and early 1980s in response to the first of twomajor oil shocks.

Phil Goodwin of the University of the Westof England’s Centre for Transport and Socie-ty says demographics also play a part. Annu-al distances driven fall by 50% when an indi-vidual retires. As populations of advancedeconomies grow older, car use is falling, butpeople are also responding to other morecomplex social changes such as the rise ofmobile computing, smartphones and moresingle-person households.

The trend to start families later, moreyoung people living in city centres and

“changing images of contemporary life”could also be reducing car use.

Goodwin also believed the smartphonehas replaced the car as the ultimate statussymbol.

The ITF further suggested that more on-line shopping and social networking mayhave replaced some shopping trips and lei-sure travel.

“Survey evidence supports the view thattechnology and social media are seen as sub-stitutes for physical travel, particularlyamong the young,” the report states.

“The largest decline in car travel is for

shopping and visiting friends and relatives,which some see suggestive of a change in-duced by choice – perhaps facilitated by therising availability of online alternatives totravel – but which could also be the resultof tighter budgets.”

The downturn in driving is not uniformand is heavily concentrated in certain socialgroups. In Britain, for example, the down-turn has been sharpest in London, where thehigh cost of insurance and parking, as wellas congestion charging and a dense publictransport network have all combined to re-duce driving since around 2000. – Wheels24

Merc’s S600 flagship headed for SAMercedes-Benz launched its new flag-

ship S-Class at the 2014 North Ameri-can International autoshow in De-

troit earlier this month.The S600 will arrive in South Africa later

this year.The model measures 5.2m long, 1.8m wide

and 1.4m tall, with a wheelbase of 3.1m. Bootcapacity is rated at 500F.The new S600 is powered by a 6.0 V12 bi-

turbo capable of 390kW – up from 380kW –and 830Nm. Mated to a 7G-tronic auto, Mer-cedes-Benz claims a 21% reduction in fuelconsumption, from 14F/100km to 11.2.Its V12 bi-turbo enables the model to

sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds, im-pressive considering it weighs 2185kg, andcan reach an electronically limited 250km/h.Not to miss out on their share of the lime-

light, the entire S-Class range will be up-graded with the addition of a head-up dis-play, touchpad and collision prevention as-sist plus, which replaces the collisionprevention assist.In addition to adaptive braking, which

prevents collisions at more than 6.5km/h,the system is capable of autonomous brak-ing from as fast as 200km/h. The system re-duces the severity of a collision by brakingif a driver fails to respond to slowing or stop-ping vehicles.The system can also brake in response to

stationaryvehicles at speeds of up to 55km/hand is able to prevent a rear-end collision atup to 40km/h.As befits its status as flagship, the S600 is

packed with kit; LED intelligent light sys-temandmagic body control suspensionwithroad surface scan.The model is equipped with a driving as-

sistance package and includes active lanekeeping assist, active blind-spot assist,cross-traffic assist, Distronic plus with steer

control, stop/go, pre-safe braking and pre-safe plus.The figure 600 has long been a legend in

the history of the automobile. Themodel 600(W100) launched in 1963 was the first carfrom Mercedes-Benz to feature a V8 injec-tion engine.The same 186kW engine was also used

from 1967 in the W109 model series (300 SEL

6.3).Further top models to feature a V8 engine

included the 450 SEL 6.9 from the model se-ries 116 (213kW) and the 560 SE in the 126 se-ries (223kW in the ECE version).The 600 SE model in the 140 model series

of 1991 marked the introduction of the first12-cylinder engine as standard in a Mer-cedes-Benz car.

The M120 delivered (304kW) from a dis-placement of six litres and began a traditionof V12 units as the top-of-the-range enginesin the S-Class.Since the 220 series,Mercedes-Benz has al-

so offered especially sporty, AMG-optimisedvariants with V8 and V12 engines at the topof its S-Class range, in the form of the S63AMG and S65 AMG. – Wheels24

COMING SOON: Mercedes-Benz launched its new flagship S-Class model the S600 earlier this month. It will arrive in South Africa later this year.

VW unveils supercar version of the GTIVolkswagen Golf fans must be tickledpink. The automaker has revealed aunique, supercar GTI version.And either the German brand has

gone bonkers or this GTI has sneaked in-to a steroids lab. The one-of-a-kind GolfGTI has a three-litre engine under thebonnet, pushing out 373kW.The GTI does zero to 100km/h in 3.9

seconds and costs the equivalent ofR56m.The Golf Design Vision GTI, as it is

known, shares only one part with the or-dinary GTI and that’s the windscreen.Everything else is customised. Accord-ing to VW, it’s shorter, lower and widerwith 20” alloy rims and 15” brakes.Head honchos at VW say there are no

plans to put this beast of a car into pro-

duction, but it could borrow somedesigncues to the next generation of Golfs.Klaus Bischoff, who heads up the team

behind theVisionGTI, says: “Thedesignteam’s brief was to give a spectacularglance into the future of the GTI.”TopGear.com has described the car as

“a design study reflecting some ofVolkswagen’s greatest hits”.In a roadtest report, the TV pro-

gramme said: “The GTI concept will do0-100kmin3.9 seconds andhit a top speedof 300km/h – not just fast for a Golf, butfast full stop.“We were under strict rules not to use

full throttle but after some heavy plead-ing, full throttle was briefly applied,and. . . the GTI just explodes in a hail ofnoise and more noise.” – Wheels24

MODIFIED: Volkswagen has unveiled a supercar version of the company’s much-lovedGolf GTI.

Tough task for WP womenLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A single match could define an entireseason for the Western Province wom-en’s cricket team.

Province take on neighbours Boland inWellington on Sunday and a loss will slashthe team’s chances of semi-final qualifica-tion.WP currently top the West/East group in

Cricket South Africa’s provincial league,with six wins from seven games.Boland are second, but have a game in

hand and are the only side to have beatenWP this season.Province coach Cobus Roodt is confident

his charges can pull off a victory, despitehaving three key players away on national

duty. “The Boland game is an important onefor the season. If we win, we will reach thesemi-finals,” he says.“I am confident we can win. I believe the

girls can pull through. There is a lot of workthat has gone in to get the girls ready. Theyunderstand what lies ahead, so there is noreason why we can’t win.”Roodt’s side racked up comfortable victo-

ries in their last two matches, posting 371/5before skittling out Border Kei for just 24runs on Saturday and then beating Borderby 36 runs on Sunday.Province have just three games left in the

pool stages; Boland on Sunday, before facingEastern Province on Saturday 1 Februaryand South Western Districts on Sunday 2February.Finishing at the summit of the West/East

group will ensure they go through alongwith the winners of the Highveld and Cen-tral groups.The best second-placed side out of all three

groups will be the fourth semi-finalist.A full haul of points in the last three games

could also seal a home semi-final for Prov-ince. Roodt believes the location of the play-off will not affect his side’s performance.“Playing at home gives you a small advan-

tage, but we are used to playing away,” hesays.“I find the team gels better when we are

away from home, because they all live in ahotel together. When they are at home, youdon’t know what they are doing. I believe acricket ground is just a cricket ground.”Last season Roodt’s side beat Gauteng at

the Wanderers to secure the title, after

knocking out Northerns at Newlands theprevious week.KwaZulu-Natal currently top the Central

pool, while Northerns and Gauteng are firstand second, respectively, in the Highveldgroup.Roodt says they would happily face any

side in the competition shouldWP reach thesemis.“You expect to face the strong teams so it

doesn’t matter who we play,” he says.“We just have to ensure that we play our

very best cricket. If we do, it doesn’t matter.I believe to be the best, you have to beat thebest – that’s one of the slogans we live by inthe team.”The final pool matches against EP and

SWD will both take place at Mutual Park inPinelands next month.

Big walkers to honour SA’s late iconLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

Around 20 000 people are set to fillthe streets of Cape Town in hon-our of the late former presidentNelson Mandela at the 15th annu-al 10km Big Walk in March.The event has become a high-

light of the Cape Town socialsports calendar, so organisershave decided to honour Madibathis year.People’s Post is the printmedia sponsor of the Big Walk.As usual the RedCrossWarMe-

morial Children’s Hospital Trusthas been selected as themain ben-eficiary of the event, but a per-centage of the proceeds will alsobe given the Nelson MandelaFoundation.Thewalkwill beheldon Sunday 2 March.Big Walk Committee chairper-

son Dawood Essack highlightedthe walk’s 15th anniversary. “Asa special commemoration of the15th anniversary we will be hav-

ing a 15km run or walk as well.Every kilometrewill be dedicatedto the social challenges faced bysome communities,” he says.“These challenges include edu-

cation, healthcare, physical fit-ness, drugs, the abuse of womenand children, HIV/Aids and thephysically disabled.”At the event launch last week

CEOof theMandela Rhodes Trustand representative of the Nelson

Mandela Foundation, ShaunJohnson, thanked the Big WalkCommittee “for honouring ourlate patron and founder”.Since its inauguration in 2000,

the race has donated over R1.6mto the Red Cross Hospital.In 2012 the money was used to

upgrade the hospital’s burns unitand surgery wards, while lastyear’s R245 000 was used to up-grade the radiology department.

Trust CEO Louise Driver saysthis year’s donation will be usedto upgrade the paediatric inten-sive care ward. “I want to thankthe Big Walk Committee for se-lecting the Red Cross War Memo-rial Children’s Hospital Trust asthe beneficiary again,” she says.“It’s amazing that they have

been supporting us for 14 consec-utive years. The money has beengiven to a number of projects;there isn’t a part of the hospitalthat the Big Walk has nottouched.”

Kind drawfor clubsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Santos will face an unknownquantity when they tackleGamalakheUnited in theNed-

bank Cup round of 32.The People’s Team will face the

KwaZulu-Natal side at home afterbeing paired in the draw last week.Santos coach David Notoane

says he is happywith the draw, butwill be doing his homework on theminnows to prevent any upsets.“Weareplayingathomeand that

is very important, but we are play-ing against a SecondDivision teamwhich is tricky,” he says.“We don’t know much about

them, but I have started doing myhomework. It’s the first time I haveheard about them. I have spoken tosome of the people I know in Kwa-Zulu-Natal, so I have a little bit ofincite into the team we are facing.“We are happy with the draw,

butwe are not going to take it light-ly.”Santos are currently fifth on the

National First Division (NFD) ta-ble, eight points behind the leagueleaders, but have a game in hand.Notoane’s side suffered a 1-0 loss

to local rivals Vasco da Gama intheir last outing and will need totake maximum points from Satur-day’s match away to Sivutsa Starsto keep their hopes of promotionalive.Meanwhile, neighbours Milano

United have alsowelcomed a fortu-

nate Nedbank Cup draw result af-ter some indifferent form in theNFD.The Grassy Park side will host

Bloemfontein Young Tigers in theround of 32.Milano coach Theo Hempe says

he would have preferred to play abigger team, which would’vedrawn in a large crowd of support-ers.“We are not complaining; it’s a

favourable draw sowewant to giveit everything and go as far as possi-ble in the Nedbank Cup,” he says.Hempe says he last faced Tigers

as a player. “It’s not the first timeI’ve heard of the club. I playedagainst them a while back, whenthey were still in the NFD a fewyears ago.Wewill give them the re-spect they deserve,” he says.Milano held the top spot in the

league just twoweeks ago, but sur-rendered first place after a drawwith FC Cape Town. They havesince dropped to third following aloss to Jomo Cosmos at the week-end.Hempe’s side trail first-placed

Chippa United and second-placedVasco da Gama by a solitary point.The former midfielder has

brushed off the poor results as atemporary dip in form and expectshis charges to turn it aroundagainst Roses United at the Wyn-berg Military Base on Sunday.The dates for the Nedbank Cup

matches have not yet been an-nounced.
