Questions after baby’s deathTAMMY PETERSEN
THE mother of a five-month-oldbaby who died on Wednesday atthe Manenberg Clinic claimsthat the staff’s failure to immu-nise her infant may have led toher death.
Little Zakiyah Williams, the se-cond Manenberg baby to die onWednesday afternoon, 1 June, diedof natural causes, according to anautopsy report, says the Depart-ment of Health.
But Anushka Williams, the mo-ther of the tiny baby who was laidto rest on Thursday, says her deathcould have been due to her not get-ting all her vaccinations owing toan alleged shortage of medication atthe clinic.
While checking upon her sleeping babyon Wednesday after-noon, Williams saysshe noticed that Zaki-yah’s lips were blue.
“I immediatelyknew that somethingwas wrong, and Ipicked her up and ranout of the house to theclinic, which is justaround the corner.
“When I entered, ina frantic state andlooking for help, theother patients startedscreaming ‘Hier isnog ’n kind!” shesays, referring to thebaby of Nikita le Grange, who hadbeen declared dead at the clinic on-ly hours earlier.
She says she was helped immedi-ately by staff members, who tookthe tiny body and directed her to aroom to wait.
“I couldn’t sit still. I was cryinguncontrollably because I wanted toknow what was happening with mybaby. I don’t know how long theytried to resuscitate her – it felt likeforever.”
But the attempts were all in vain,and baby Zakiyah was declareddead at the clinic.
A traumatised Williams says sheconstantly wonders whether thevaccinations she didn’t receiveplayed a role in her baby’s death.
According to the department’swebsite, six-week-old babies haveto receive four vaccinations – forpolio, DTP (which protects infantsagainst diphtheria, whoopingcough and tetanus), Hib (a vaccinewhich protects against Haemophil-us influenzae) and hepatitis.
Ten-week-old babies have to re-ceive another dose of the previousvaccine, and 14-week-old babies areagain given the same injections.
But Williams says when she tookher baby for her vaccinations at sixweeks she was told that the clinichad run out of vaccinations.
“The sister put drops in hermouth and told methat that was moreimportant.
“She also said thatwhen I bring her forher 10-week injectionthey would give herthe extra shots,” shesays.
But when she re-turned four weeks lat-er, the baby only re-ceived one shot in-stead of four, becausea different sister toldher the others are“not necessary”, Wil-
liams says. “I told my-self that theywouldn’t put my ba-by’s life in danger. I
believed everything they told me.”When she returned for the 14-
week vaccinations, Williams raisedher concern about the missed injec-tions.
“This time, a sister told me thatit was too late for her to get thoseshots. She also just gave Zakiyahsome drops and that was that.”
Faiza Steyn, the spokesperson forthe provincial Department ofHealth, says a child can becomecritically illwithout immunisation,which could lead to death.
“Vaccinations are extremely im-portant to prevent diseases ... It is
important to note that immunisa-tion protects not only those who areimmunised – it also protects thecommunity from these dangerousinfections.”
Koena Nkoko, the KlipfonteinSub-District Manager for CityHealth, says there has been an “in-termittent shortage” of two vac-cines, Prevenar and Pentaxim,“due to reasons beyond the City andprovince’s [control]”.
“The shortage of the two vaccinesat Manenberg Clinic was linked tothe metro-wide shortage which wasdue to problems at Biovac, the solesupplier of vaccines. This shortagewas brought to the attention ofprovince, who manage the vaccinecontract with Biovac,” Nkoko ex-plains.
He says it’s not possible that thechild may have died owing to hisnot receiving the necessary immu-nisations.
Steyn says that should a mothertake her baby for a vaccine and the
supply is exhausted, the baby is g-iven all the vaccines that are availa-ble, and contacted when vaccinesupply resumes, adding that facili-ties try to redistribute stock amongthemselves so that there are noshortages.
She confirms that Williams ar-rived at the clinic at 14:40.
“The child was not breathing andunfortunately emergency mea-sures taken to resuscitate the babywere unsuccessful,” she says. “Theautopsy results indicate that the ba-by died of natural causes. She waspresented as dead on arrival at theclinic.”
But Williams challenges the fin-dings, insisting that her baby wasstill alive when she got to the clinic.
“She was making these little gur-gling and burping noises. Icould hear it. So how couldshe still be making soundsif she was dead already?”
Upon hearing her moth-er speaking about her ba-
by sister, Williams’ two-year-olddaughter says she misses “Zaki”and that she is still looking for her“but she is gone away”.
“Zaki went to the doctor and nowshe is dead,” she says.
Nkoko says that according to therecords and accounts from thenurses, the baby “presented noheartbeat, no breathing, the bodywas cold and blue around themouth and the neck was floppy”.
He continues that the staff indi-cated in their statement that “the la-dy” who brought the child to theclinic entered the facility, saying“The baby is dead, help me”.
Based on this, he maintains thatthe child was dead on arrival.

‘I want to know what happened’TAMMY PETERSEN
A YOUNG mother is patient-ly awaiting the outcome of
an autopsy for closure over herbaby’s death.
Baby Tyler le Grange, who wasonly 14 weeks old, died hours afterreceiving a vaccination at theManenberg clinic.
The autopsy results are expec-ted to be released today.
Tyler’s mother, Nikita, says shedoesn’t understand what hap-pened because her baby had been“fine and happy” that morning.
“He got his injection at about09:15 on Wednesday morning,” thedistraught mother says.
“We went to my grandmotherand I laid him down before 10:00because he was sleeping. About anhour later I went to check up onhim, and when I wanted to changehis sleeping position, I realisedthat he was stiff.”
When she turned her babyaround, she saw that he was tur-ning blue and that his body wascold. “I called my mother and myaunty, who were also there, andasked them what was going on. Myaunty grabbed Tyler and ran to theclinic.”
The 20-year-old and her familymembers followed her, and whenthey got to the hospital, staff weretrying to resuscitate him.
“They tried their best but hedied. He died there,” she says.
Tyler was her only child and sheis “so sad” that he was “takenaway” from her. “I can’t believe Iwon’t ever see him again. He wasnever sick and he didn’t cry a lot.I never had any problems withhim. I don’t want to blame anyone
for his death, but I want to knowwhat happened.”
She says that funeral arrange-mentswill bemadeonce the autop-sy is complete.
Faiza Steyn, the spokespersonfor the provincial Health Depart-ment, confirms that the autopsyresults are not yet available.
As news of the infant’s deathspread, residents gathered outsidethe gates of the clinic, hurlingabuse and insults which carriedinto the clinic.
Richard Matthee, the deputychairperson of Proudly Manen-berg, says residents are tiredof the“below standard” treatment re-ceived at the public clinic. “I aminundated with complaints frompeople, especially young mothers,who say they are degraded andtreated with disdain by the nurs-ing staff. The residents have hadenough of being failed by thishealth system.”
He says a group of 350 residentsmarched to the clinic again onThursday and Proudly Manen-berg “warned them to treat thepeople with dignity”. “We toldthem their behaviour will no long-er be tolerated. There needs to bea change in their attitudes. Rude-ness and arrogance will not be to-lerated any more.”
But according to ChristineJansen, the secretary of theManenberg Health Committee,the attitude of some residents to-ward the staff at the clinic “cannotbe excused”. “Staff members aresworn at on a daily basis. Africannurses are constantly being calledthe “k” word, and for this reasonnurses are reluctant to come andwork at this clinic.
“The attitude of some of the pro-testing residents out-side the clinic showedno sympathy for thetwo grieving familiesthat were inside theclinic at the time,” she
says.Jansen says the committee “un-
derstands the frustration of thecommunity”. “But to loudly shoutfrom outside the gates that theclinic staff are a bunch of murd-erers was uncalled for. The staff,who are mothers and grandmo-thers themselves, were extremelytraumatised by the events becausethey had to deal with the deaths oftwo children. “Instead of throwingaround accusations, members ofthe committee were there to sup-port the grieving families and thenursing staff.”
Dr Ivan Bromfield, the City’sExecutive Director for CityHealth, says all council’s clinicshave copies of the City’s PatientCharters visible, with contact de-tails for people to phone if they arenot happy with the service re-ceived. “We encourage the publicto report any complaints or prob-lems to the clinic manager, sub-district manager, district mana-ger or myself, in order that theycan be fully investigated and ac-tion taken if appropriate,” he says.
Rumours have also been circu-lating that the vaccination was thecause of little Tyler’s death, butSteyn says stringent protocol isfollowed to secure the medicationand strict guidelines are in placefor the procedure. “Each vaccinecomes with an expiry date. Expli-cit cold chain protocol guidelinesexist and are strictly adhered to.Vaccines are kept in fridges be-tween2°Cand8°Cat all times,” shesays.
Babies are administered appro-priate vaccine injections at sche-duled times, appropriate to theirage, she continues. “Protocolguidelines are in place to deter-mine exact sites where injectionsor vaccinations are administered.Site inspections are done regular-ly by health workers to see to itthat all protocols are adhered to,and that sterile techniques are in
place and infection control pre-cautions are adhered too at altimes. “Vaccinating babiesagainst life-threatening diseasesis an acceptable medical practiceencouraged worldwide, and is con-sidered to be relatively safe.
“When the vaccine comes intothe country it is strictly controlledby the Medicines Control Council,and kept in quarantine for sixweeks to be tested before releaseto the department.”
But Shaheed Mohamed, fromthe Workers International Van-guard League, says provincialgovernment and the City shouldnot “cover up its liability in forc-ing uninformed vaccination onparents”.
He says the National Vaccine In-formation Centre in the US states
that vaccination is a medical pro-cedurewhichcarries a riskof inju-ry or death. “The only ones whobenefit from the forced unin-formed mass vaccination are thepharmaceutical companies.
“This should be an opportunityto open the debate on the contentsof vaccines, such as mercury, andthe fact that vaccines can producean allergic reaction causing death.We reject with contempt that thebabies died of ‘natural causes’.
“Communities should take con-trol of a full transparent investiga-tion into the deaths, and a tho-rough investigation into deathsfrom vaccination, compiling a da-tabase and forcing the develop-ment of informed decisions by themasses and the development ofsafe health care.”

Gangland terror for young writersTAMMY PETERSEN
AN English project given to a Grade 6 classat Parkfields Primary to practise their letterwriting was overshadowed by the scholars’horrific encounters with guns, gangsterismand dead bodies.
Children were instructed to write to afriend, telling him about the recent shootingsin the streets of Hanover Park and how it hasaffected the community.
Denise Forbes, who has been teaching atthe school for 25 years, says she had the ideaas the class was focusing on Shakespeare’s“Romeo and Juliet”, and the violence de-scribed in the play reflected the violence theyoungsters were seeing on a daily basis.
“When I read the letters, my heart bled forthem. The emotion and sheer terror they toldin their stories just shows how deeply the sit-uation has impacted their young lives,” shesays.
Shehandsover a few letters, andwhile theydisplay a range of handwriting, they all tellthe same story.
A scholar from Groenpoort Walk writes:“Do you know the children can’t even playoutside any more? They are shooting, stab-bing and killing people where I live. Are theydoing the same where you live? I hope not,because it’s not nice at all.”
A colourful border surrounds a story froma girl who says she is “ashamed” of where shecomes from. It calls for gangsters to be“burned out”.
“I’m so afraid. Last night I cried becauseI’m scared. The gangsters are very danger-ous, and they are fighting and shooting overdrugs. They are shooting innocent people. Iam so sad and I get worried at night.”
Forbes says she regularly speaks to thechildren individually about how they feeland the stories told to her are “terrifying”.
“Many of them are just happy that there issomeone willing to listen to what they haveto say. Their situation is difficult as they areforced to live in this environment. They seeand experience gang violence day after day,and sadly many of them don’t know a life dif-ferent to this.” Shehandsovermore “letters”.
A girl from Walvis Court writes: “My cous-in and my mother went to the shop. They shotand my mom lay on the floor. My cousin wentbehind a wendy house and the shootersthought she was a gangster and they shot atthe wendy house.
“My mother said she must lay on the floorbut she couldn’t because they were shootingat her. She didn’t get shot but she hurt herselfon a nail.”
A girl from Greenturf Road writes that shefinds gangsterism “terrible”.
“My friends and me visited one of theirgrandmothers and we were outside the housemaking a fire. As we sat down, a bullet wentpast us. We ran inside. I am sorry you can’tcome visit me. Maybe I can come visit you?”
Another boy from Abelia Road writes thathe is “tired of waiting for the shooting tostop”.
“They can go fight at their houses, in front
of their families and friends. Or why don’tthey go to a field and just shoot each other?They live near to me. Sometimes they shootat people you know and they don’t thinkabout how we are feeling. They fight aboutstupid things.”
Forbes stacks the letters into a neat pile.“The thoughts and fears these children
shared really broke my heart. I am horrifiedby what these learners are surrounded by,and how they are being impacted,” she says.
Principal, Mogamat Galant, says a psycho-logist visits Parkfields Primary once a week,and a trained counsellor is also based at theschool. “The learners have been making useof this opportunity, and they know there issomeone who will listen if they want to talk.The teachers are also very supportive in help-ing the traumatised children,” he says.
Zeenat Joseph, a project leader at the Trau-ma Centre for Survivors of Violence and Tor-ture, says counselling provides a safe andcontrolled, supportive environment wherechildren learn to cope with the physical andpsychological effects of exposure to violence.“It is of paramount importance to build achild and his or her family’s resilience, as itwill empower and better equip them to movefrom environmental support to self support,”she says.

Truce called – againTAMMY PETERSEN
“HOW long will it lastthis time?”
This is the sentiment shared bynumerous Hanover Park resi-dents People’s Post spoke to afteryet another truce was called be-tween warring gangs on Wednes-day.
The peace talks, facilitated bythe local Community Police Fo-rum, saw members of the Ameri-cans and the Mongrels agreeingto put a stop to the gunfire whichhas been plaguing the area’sstreets since April.
CPF chairperson, AnthonyDaniels, says an agreement wasreached after three-and-a-half hours of delib-erations.
“This meeting came after gatherings wereheld with religious and community leaderswho wanted to see a solution to the unrest.In the meeting, the gangsters apologised forthe loss of lives and said their new recruitsare interfering with each other,” Danielssays.
The consensus saw the gang leaders com-mitting themselves to preserving the peace,he continues. “We warned them that if thishappens again, we won’t ask them to stop theviolence. We will come with the full force ofthe law.”
No incidents have been reported since thepeace talks.
A resident, who asks to be known only asTiema, says she and her family are under noillusions that the peace will last.
“It’s all about money and power,” the moth-er of three says. “As long as drugs are so free-ly available in our streets, these wars will al-ways take place.”
She says that it “hurts and concerns” herthat the place she grew up in seems to be get-ting more infested with gangs and drugs eve-ry year.
“We are living among destructive and dan-gerous people, and I don’t ever see the situa-tion getting better. Why do we have such abad reputation to outsiders? Because theoverflow of negativity is a true reflection ofwhat’s going on in our streets.”
A 64-year-old woman says she lives in fearevery day that she will die before [her] time.
“My children plead with me every day to
move out of Hanover Park and live with themin the safer areas where they live. But thisis my home. I spent most of my life here, andI won’t let children who I saw grow up infront of me chase me out of here. We need lawenforcement to keep us safe. I don’t want todie, but I don’t want to see our area get worsethan it is right now.”
A Surran Road resident says he lays theblame squarely on the shoulders of Philippipolice. “They are supposed to keep order andprotect the people. Yet year after year, monthafter month, we see people die. Gangsters,children and innocent bystanders bleed todeath in our streets, yet our police hardly ev-er solve the case or arrest people for it. Thereis no order in Hanover Park, and people don’trespect the police because they are useless!”
But despite coming under fire regularly byresidents who slam their performance, Gen-eral Robbie Roberts, the Cluster Commanderfor Nyanga, which consists of Philippi,Manenberg, Philippi East, Athlone,Lansdowne and Nyanga police stations, saysthe police have taken a “hard approach” toridding the streets of gangs and drugs.
On Thursday, a convoy of officers from thevarious stations, as well as Metro Police, tookto houses in the area identified in reports ofcriminal activity gathered by crime intelli-gence.
Mounted policemen also increased policevisibility in the area.
But despite the concerted effort, no majorsuccesses were recorded.
Unperturbed, the officers went from doorto door to distribute pamphlets containingthe contact numbers of the sector vehiclesand station management.
“We also asked the community to judgeservice delivery, and the response re-ceived was in favour of the police. Wealso explained what should be done ifpeople are not happy with the perform-ance,” he says.
Roberts further noted that despite peopleshowing satisfaction with the service deliv-ery, not enough people are providing the po-lice with information to follow up on.
“For this reason the officers were encour-aged to have one-on-one conversations withthe residents. The community needs to see usin the field, and officers will in future get outof their patrol vehicles and speak to the peo-ple. They need to see us out on foot.”

Crash claims three generationsREYANA STEYN
A NIGHT of fun ended ina horrific accident thatclaimed the lives of
three members of a Bridge-town family on VanguardDrive on Saturday night.
Sylvia Montanus (84), herdaughter Cecelia Montanus (61),and her grandson Shane Monta-nus (34) were driving home froma family reunion in Mitchell’sPlain when a silver Toyota Yariscollided with their light-blue FiatUno at 19:00.
The three passengers of theYaris were travelling in the oppo-site direction when their car al-legedly hit the curb, causing thevehicle to spiral out of controland crash into the Montanus fam-ily’s vehicle.
Sylvia and Shane were eachflung metres from the vehicle anddied instantly. Cecelia also diedinstantly, but was trapped insideand the jaws of life had to be used
to remove her body.Sylvia’s daughter, Belinda
Hardenberg, is shocked at thedeath of her mother, sister andnephew.
“It’s difficult to graspwhathap-pened. I’m left alone here now.We always have reunions, but Iwas working and couldn’t attendthis one. I fell asleep and then la-ter that night my brother-in-lawcame to wake me up.
“He said I must get done be-cause there had been an accident.I got done and we went to thescene. I never thought it would beas bad as it was.”
She says that when she got tothe scene, the police didn’t wantto tell her what had happened.“They advised me to go to myfamily, who were standing to oneside, which I did. I was soshocked. Three amazing peoplewere killed in that crash.”
Hardenberg says her mother,Sylvia, was an “active lady forher age”.
“She was always keeping her-self busy. Shewas part of theseniors’ cluband loved tohave fun. Mymother keptthe family to-
gether. She invited everyone onMother’s Day – all seven chil-dren, 11 grandchildren andcountless great-grandchildren –and cooked lunch for all of us.That’s the wonderful mother shewas – even though itwas her day, she didall the work.”
She says her sis-ter, Cecelia, was agreat woman.
“In January shewas diagnosed withcancer, but insteadof being angry sheaccepted it and saidit is in God’s handsand it’s okay. Shehad surgery to re-move it and she washealed. She sur-vived cancer, buther life was taken ina car accident.”
Hardenberg saysher nephew, Shane,was an “all-round great guy”.
“He was a pleasant young man.He would always go out of hisway to help others and take themwherever they would want to go;he was very dependable.
“It’s tragic that they had to diethis way.”
Sylvia, Cecelia and Shane’s fu-
neral service will be held on Sa-turday 11 June at St George’sChurch in Silvertown.
All three bodies will be crema-ted.

The 22-year-oldmanwasarrest-ed andchargedwithdrugdealing.
In a separate section of thehouse, Constable MogamatManuel and a team of officerscombed the rooms for drugs, and

“The constable saw that aboard that separates the roomslooked irregular, and when hepushed his hand through it, hediscovered seven stoppe of dagga.A 33-year-old suspect, who was atthe house at the time, was arrest-ed and charged with drug posses-sion.”
Both suspects appeared incourt on Monday, but police wereunable to confirm the outcome ofthe case as the docket has not yetreturned to the station.

Pollsmoor’s young offenders bare their soulsLIAM MOSES
AROUND 100 of PollsmoorPrison’s youngest inmates
gathered to give emotional testi-monies of how and why they en-ded up in prison at an event heldon Thursday 2 June last week.
The event commemorated Na-tional Child Protection Week, andwas attended by several high-rank-ing government offi-cials, including Cor-rectional Servicesminister, NosiviweMapisa-Nqakula, So-cial Developmentminister, BathabileDlamini, and Cor-rectional Servicesnational commis-sioner, Tom Moy-ane.
The proceedingsstarted with prayersby both a pastor anda Moulana, beforethe guests were wel-comed by JamesSmalberger, the re-gional commission-er of CorrectionalServices in the West-ern Cape.
Azola Ntsizikalo (20) was the firstyoung offender to speak about hisexperience in prison and what ledto his conviction.
Ntsizikalo described how his badbehaviour led to him being kickedout of his family home, becoming adrug addict and resorting to crimeto feed his addiction to tik.
Children from several schools al-so attended the event, and Ntsizika-lo warned them not to follow thepath that led to his downfall.
“I'm looking at you and you lookso beautiful in your school uni-forms,” said Ntsizikalo.
“I hope that you make the best outof what you have.”
Ntsizikalo also described his lifein prison – saying that when thestructured programmes stopped at
16:00, the prisonchanged from a“constructive” en-vironment to a “de-structive” one in-volving “gangs andtattoos”.
After Ntsizikalospoke, the 100 otheryoung offenderswere given the op-portunity to sharetheir stories abouthow they came to bein Pollsmoor.
A young femaleinmate, who wasdue to be releasedthe following day,said that she wouldnot make the samemistakes once sheleft the prison.
“I can’t blame anyone for me be-ing here. Peer pressure had some-thing to do with it, but it had moreto do with me trying to be clever,”she said.
“But now the people that I wastrying to impress by committingcrimes won’t even come and visitme or phone me. When you’re in
here, the only people who careabout you are your parents.”
Several other young offenders al-so spoke about why they ended upin prison, and what they would doto change their lives when theywere released.
One of the most common reasonsexpressed by the inmates was los-ing or being abandoned by theirparents at a young age.
Peer pressure and a desire to im-press friends was also a recurringtheme in the stories.
Most of the inmates spoke emo-tionally, and some broke into tearswhen describing their reasons forcommitting crimes.
The parents of some of the youngoffenders were also present at theevent.
One mother of an inmate directeda tear-filled message at all theyoung offenders present.
“I am very sad that my child is inprison,” she said.
“I just want to tell the childrenthat they should just look forwardand never look back, because no-one deserves to be here.”
Mapisa-Nqakula told the inmatesthat speaking about their troubleswould help them to move on withtheir lives.
“The beginning of the healingprocess is admitting that you madewrong choices, choices that havelanded you here in a correctional fa-cility. You don’t belong here, but be-cause of the mistakes you made youhave landed here,” she said.
Mapisa-Nqakula added that theoffenders should take advantage ofthe free electricity, water, food and
education to study and completetheir schooling, because many stu-dents outside Pollsmoor wereforced to go through their schoolingwithout their basic needs beingmet.
Deen “D’Low” Louw, a Mitchell’sPlain musician who recently ran
for councillor in Ward 99, was alsopresent at the event, and enter-tained the crowd with poetry andmusic.
The speeches were followed by atour of the mother-and-child unit ofthe prison, where 12 mothers are in-carcerated with their babies.

Empty cotsFOUR babies died during National ChildProtection Week – two at a Manenberg Clin-ic and two more at a Pinelands foster home.
This tragic account is four deaths toomany for the infants’ families, communitiesand society as a whole.
The two babies who died at the clinic, diedon International Children’s Day (Wednes-day June 1).
The next day (Thursday June 2) two moreinfants who shared a cot in a foster homedied within 45 minutes of each other.
One of the mothers of the babies who diedat the foster home is reportedly a drug user.
This was the third baby that had been tak-en away from her and placed in safe carewhere, ironically, it died.
While questions are levelled at the fosterhome, the responsibility extends further;foremost with the child’s mother, who hadtwo more children, despite being unable tocare for herself, let alone children.
In 1994 when the president declared thathealth care for pregnant women and chil-dren under the age of six would be free, thisnoble move unwittingly opened a “Pando-ra’s box”.
Yes, government provided educationaround women’s health issues such as fami-ly planning, safer sex, how to prevent thespread of HIV and Aids and its PreventingMother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT)programme for HIV-positive pregnant wom-en.
But the dissemination of knowledge is justthe beginning of a communication process,the success of which ultimately rests withthe receivers of that information, who maychoose to interpret this information to theirselfish advantage.
Proof lies in the countless unwanted preg-nancies and innocent babies who end up infoster homes, when where they truly belongis in a loving, nurturing home created bytheir own families.

. To the pregnant woman who was ap-parently given the incorrect medication:take a look at all your medication. I guar-antee that there is a warning on every bot-tle stating the effects of use during pregnancy.This is because drug companies are legallyobliged to print this to cover themselves, justin case someone decides to overdose. I am nota doctor, but I have a child and I know wheremy local library is, so every day I educate my-self. Silverfox84
Evictions. I’m one of the neighbours and I know
about a family who were evicted, and now thefamily is living with her parents. This meansthat there are 11 people living in one flat.Where is Helen Zille? Everyone has rights andI don’t think that it is right. I hope you sleepwell at night knowing that a family was evict-ed with four little children – and they are allgirls. I think that once you have the positionyou wanted then you forget about the peoplewho put you there. You must not forget thatyou were elected and that means we can easilyelect someone else. The Bible says love yourneighbour as yourself but I think Zille has for-gotten where she came from.
. It is because of our votes that she is inthat seat. When we ask for her help she can’teven help us. I never heard of a case wherethe ANC evicted people, they help their peopleso go take a page from their books, maybeyou’ll learn something but we will neveragain vote for the DA.
. You can be evicted! If you don’t pay taxthen you have no right to expect anythingfrom the government. Don’t use your inno-cent baby as a reason for your sponging offothers.
. Having just read the eviction article Imust report that it happened to us in Heide-veld. People’s Post wrote a story about it andGrace Blouw gave you her side of it, whichwas so untrue. They never even looked at thepapers proving that we had paid the rent, andshe didn’t even know what she wrote in her
own affidavit. They are all a bunch of liars..Every week you hear about people being
caught with drugs, so can the City please tellus when they are going to evict these people?Mark, Manenberg
Election waste. Voting is finished, now the posters lie
around.Housing issues. The poor want free houses and free rates
from the government. Do they realise that we,the working people who already struggle tosurvive, have to fork out for that too? Don’tthey realise that nothing is for free, or do theyjust not care?
. Regarding service delivery: why must wegive houses? It is time for the ANC govern-ment to stop blaming apartheid, whites, andeverything else, and begin to give back. Youhave ruined a beautiful country, Madiba mustbe so ashamed of you.
. Backyard and shack dwellers have nofood, clothing, money, work or adequate shel-ter yet they have small babies. What a crimeagainst humanity! It is a choice you’re mak-ing. The state should not help you.
. I’ve got a better one. Why do we have topay someone else and the bond to own ahouse? And then they dictate what one cannotdo on one’s own property, for example the pre-scribed height of your front boundary wall?
Overweight troops. Youngsfield’s overweight women troops
are a laughing stock and disgrace. They canbe used as cannon fodder in time of war. Bringback the baby boomer generation, who werebattle-hardened border troops. Wala!
Consumer troubles. Telkom 8ta sent my friend a contract
phone without telling her she had a choice ofa Blackberry, and on top of that the six-pagecontract is illegibly small.
Shocked at mother’s actionsMY husband and I walked to our vehi-cle in the parking area of Vangate Mall– the side where Pick n Pay is – and acar’s hooter went off.
I looked and noticed a little girlstanding between the two front seatsand waving at me.
I was a bit shocked as I did not knowthe child, but waved back at her andwalked to the car.
I noticed this little girl was alone ina Silver Renault Scenic.
She could be aged four or five. I wentup to the driver’s window and askedher: “Where’s your mommy?”
She was jumping, and softly an-swered: “My mommy’s in the shop.”She pointed her little finger to themall’s entrance.
I said to my husband: “How in heav-en’s name could this mother leave herchild in the car?”
I was utterly disgusted by her ac-tions. How could she?”
I called the police on 10 111 at 17:42,and they responded to the complaint at18:20. By that time the mom had left theparking area.
I would like this mother to thinkabout this: What if you came out afteryour rush into the shops and your carwith your little angel was gone?
You would have expected the policeto search for your car and child due toyour stupidity.
These are the types of cases thatcould have been avoided if the motherhadn’t been so negligent.
I ask you, how in a hurry could yoube to leave your child locked in the caralone? I mean, seriously!
My son is three years old. I could notimagine, nor have I thought to leavehim alone in a parking area where carsare stolen almost daily, or any otherplace for that matter.JOSLYN ARENDSEHeideveld

Was it art all along?TONY ROBINSON
THE Tretchikoff exhibitionin the Iziko National Gal-lery will at last give us achance to make up our ownminds about one of the mostcontroversial painters ofour time.
Until now this has been diffi-cult, because the art establish-ment has gone out of its wayto insult the little Russianpainter who made his home inCape Town.
The sheer venom and volume of the criti-cism was out of all proportion to any offencehe might have given, and I often asked my-
self why his detractors were sodetermined to put him down.
It was almost like a conspira-cy. It became fashionable tomock his work, and not a sin-gle gallery in South Africabought one of his paintings.His exhibitions took place inhotels and department storesoutside the sphere and influ-ence of the traditional art busi-ness.
And he did give offence. Heupstaged the art establishmentand sold autographed prints
by the tens of thousands in venues like Har-rods in London and US department stores.His exhibitions set attendance recordswhich still stand today and, as the sayinggoes, he laughed all the way to the bank.
Tretchikoff’s pictures became part of 20thcentury culture, and you will see his printson film sets and in the backgrounds on TVshows.
His craftsmanship was superb, but he wascriticised for being sentimental and kitsch.Uttering a word in his artistic defence wasevidence of your ignorance and bad taste.
The question is, why could the critics notsee what was so obvious to the thousandswho flocked to his exhibitions?
The answer is probably that critics arevery much like the rest of us – full of fashion-able theories, prejudices and ideas of theirown importance.
This was dramatically illustrated whenthe French impressionists burst onto thescene after the industrial revolution andchemistry had given them new pigments towork with, especially chrome yellow and co-balt blue. Suddenly two of the three primarycolours were available in vivid brightness.
The old earth colours of the masters’ tradi-tional pallets suddenly looked tired. Youngpainters began to experiment with light andreflections in ways that had never been pos-sible before. It was a shock to the establish-ment, and one can sympathise with the crit-ics. Their education and all their artistic ref-erences came from a darker age, and theywere not equipped to face the explosion oflight and colour.
Ever since then there has been a reluc-tance to condemn anything new, and someartists have got away with the equivalent ofmurder under the label of modern art. Someof the finalists for Britain’s Turner Prize arejokes, and others are examples of depravity.
Picasso was a great painter, but I thinkthat some of his later work was like a gamehe played with critics – a sort of “see-what-you-can-say-about-this” challenge and he,too, laughed all the way to the bank.
So go along to the exhibition ofTretchikoff’s work and make up your ownmind.
Lunar eclipseA TOTAL lunar eclipse will be visible fromSouth Africa on Wednesday 15 June.
The last total lunar eclipse visible fromthis region took place in February 2008, andthe next one will only be in September 2015.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moonmoves into the shadow of the earth. At thispoint the earth prevents the rays of the sunfrom striking the moon, and thus makes themoon appear darker.
Though lunar eclipses happen at leasttwice a year, any given eclipse will only bevisible from certain parts of the world. Totallunar eclipses are also more rare.
As the eclipse progresses, only part of thefull moon disk will appear dark (that is, apartial eclipse) as the moon starts to moveinto the darkest part of the earth’s shadow,called the umbra.
This will happen at 20:23 South AfricanStandard Time (SAST). Once the moon is in-side all of the earth’s umbral shadow, a totaleclipse can be observed.
The total eclipse will last from 21:22 to23:03. The full moon will leave the earth’sumbral shadow a few minutes after mid-night.
During the total lunar eclipse, the moonwill most likely have a dark copper-red hueon it. This is because a great quantity of theblue light will be removed by the earth’s at-mosphere through the scattering of smallparticles, letting mainly the red part of thesunlight through.

Boxing fundi punches for amateursBoxing fundi punches for amateursBRIAN GAFFNEY
RENOWNED referee, EddieMarshall, is on a mission topromote amateur boxing inCape Town – after travel-ling to all corners of theglobe to call the shots inover 100 world title fightsover the past 20 years.
The bell will literally soundfor Marshall’s latest venturewhen the Portland BoxingClub – ofwhichhe is the chair-person – hosts a contingent ofRoyal Navy boxers in Mitch-ell’s Plain on Friday 10 June.
Marshall has invited sever-al experienced boxers fromacross the Peninsula to facethe navy’s mean punchers, ashe is mindful that his youngcharges – several ofwhomwillbe fighting in the tourna-ment – are not ready to chal-lenge the big guns.
“There is immense boxingtalent in Mitchell’s Plain, andI believe this tournament willbe good for the sport,” saysMarshall, who has boxing
blood flowing through hisveins.
Marshall (55) has been in-volved in boxing for 42 years,and reigned as a SA amateurbantamweight and feather-weight champion during theearly 1980s.
His late father, Ernest Mar-shall, and late uncle, MartinMarshall, were the WP ama-teur flyweight and light-weight champions respective-ly.
Thereafter, Marshall’syounger brothers, Nathierand Rodney, were crowned SAlightweight and light heavy-weight champions.
While knee injuries put astop to the boxing careers ofMarshall’s sons, Elroy andMarlin, they have not beenlost to the sport. Elroy refereesprofessional fights, whileMarlin coaches at PortlandBoxing Club.
Marshall’s penchant forcontact sport has seen him be-come an international kick-boxing referee, too.
Outside the ring his love for
music makes him a sought-af-ter judge for minstrel anddance competitions – thanksto his rich musical back-ground that includesballroomdancing and stints as a saxo-phonist with popular dancebands.
Marshall who has refereedinall divisions inSouthAmer-ica, Europe, Australia, Africaand the USA, says he has en-countered no scary experienc-es at the hands of irate boxersor spectators during his ca-reer.
He, however, recalls one un-forgettable and hilarious mo-ment when he reached theknockdown count of sevenand the groggy boxer mum-bled from the canvas “eight,nine, ten”.
. The tournament at thePortland Indoor Centre,which will include senior andyouth boxers, starts at 18:00 onFriday. Another tournamentinvolving the navy boxers willtake place at the Wynberg Mil-itary Base on Saturday 18June.

Coetzee plots to counter vengeful BullsTASMIN CUPIDO
A ROCK-SOLID defence, somethingthe DHL Stormers have prided
themselves on for the past two SuperRugby seasons, will be needed when themen from the Cape take on the Voda-com Bulls at DHL Newlands on Satur-day.
And with the side only conceding 13 triesthis season, Allister Coetzee and his coach-ing team will be hoping the match, a tradi-tional North vs South derby, will be a repli-ca of the performances throughout thisseason.
With the team coming off a four-weektour of Austrakia and New Zealand, inwhich they won three of their four match-es, Coetzee will be hoping the long trekfrom Down Under will not play any role forhis charges.
He will also be hoping his team can repli-cate the performance they displayedagainst the Melbourne Rebels in the lastgame of their tour on Friday.
The Stormers finished 40-3 victors, se-
curingamuch-needed four-trybonuspointand further cementing their hopes of get-ting a home semi-final later this month.
And despite injuries to key players, themen in navy-blue-and-white showed thedepth of the squad, as they completely an-nihilated Stirling Mortlock’s men.
The young flyhalf, Kurt Coleman, im-pressed not only with his general play andball distribution, but also his place kick-ing, with a near-perfect record for thematch.
He was also assisted well by Jean de Vil-liers, while replacement hooker, DeonFourie again impressed with his generaland set play.
But the injury woes of the team may con-tinue, as flyhalf Peter Grant, front rowerCJ van der Linde and scrumhalf DewaldtDuvenhage remain doubtful for the Bullsclash. Fitness assessments were conduct-ed on all three players yesterday, and theresults will be revealed later this week.
The last time the two sides met, it wasthe Stormers who ended victorious, witha 23-13 win at Loftus Versveld.
The Bulls are likely to stick to their pat-
tern of forward play, while the Stormerswould do themselves a favour by runningthe ball from side to side to ensure a victo-ry.
Interesting battles include those be-tween the lock pairings of Reinard Elstadtand Andries Bekker, and Victor Matfieldand Bakkies Botha (Bulls), as well as thebattle between the two sides’ loose forwardtrio.
In the backline, everyone’s eyes willmost likely be glued to the clash betweenBjorn Basson (Bulls) and Brian Habana.
In the Bulls’ 23-17 win over the Waratahson Friday evening, Basson equalled Haba-na’s try-scoring record for a Super Rugbyseason (nine tries).
He has been impressive throughout theseason, gaining metres, being strong on de-fence and being a feared figure in the Bullsteam.
Habana has only recently shown form,and has been somewhat of a disappoint-ment since moving to the Cape.
A tight, true derby-style match can be ex-pected when the two sides take to the fieldon Saturday.
