DOMESTIC DISPUTE
Retreat mother killedCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Fondly remembered for her good man-ners, laugh and zest for life, a familymourns the death of their beloved
daughter, cousin and niece.A murder victim at 21-years-old, Lezaan
Gordon - who was brutally murdered onNew Year’s Day - leaves behind a distraughtfamily and a two year old son.According to police, Gordonwas allegedly
beaten to death by her boyfriend, the fatherof their son. The report states he committedsuicide hours after being arrested.Leon “Lati” Solomons says thedeath of his
cousin has left his family devastated.“She never deserved to die that way. We
are still trying really hard to come to termswith her death and we’re taking it one dayat a time,” Solomons says.Recounting the day’s events, he says the
family got the news of Gordon’s death at04:00 on Thursday 1 January. She had spenta few days sleeping at her boyfriend’s house.“Her boyfriend’s mother came to our
house saying that Lezaan had come homedrunk from partying with friends the nightbefore. She said Lezaan came into the houseand just collapsed.”An ambulance was called andGordonwas
taken to hospital.“When a few of our family members went
to the house to check howLezaanwas doing,she was already transported to hospital. Weimmediately rushed to hospital butwhenwegot there, she had already passed away,”Solomons remembers sadly.Another cousin of Gordon, Lillian Lesar,
says her cousin’s boyfriend was “very pos-sessive and extremely jealous”.“We always knew that he was abusing her
but she always made excuses. We warnedher to get out of the relationship because wealways expected the worst,” Lesar says.“Hewould beat her so bad until she passed
out. Then he would throw water on her forher to regain consciousness. We suspect thesame thing happened on the morning of hermurder.”Another family member, Janine Law-
rence, says Gordon’s boyfriend might havegot a shock himself when he realised shewould not wake up.“People who live near to the house say
they could hear screams through the night.They claim the screamswent silent and thatmust have been the time my cousin died. Ithink he must have got a shock as well,”Lawrence says. The hardest part, the familysays, is explaining to Gordon’s son that bothhis parents are deceased.“He has cried for his mother almost every
day. We don’t know how to explain to himthat both his parents are dead.”The toddler is now receiving counselling.Acting station commander at Steenberg
Police Station, Lieutenant-Colonel AdrianSaulse, confirms a murder docket wasopened for investigation.“A 23-year-old suspect was taken in for
questioning. The case is related to domesticviolence,” says Saulse.“The suspect was brought in for question-
ing and put in a holding cell. It was later dis-covered that he hung himself. An inquestdocketwas opened for investigation andwillbe investigated by the Independent PoliceInvestigative Directorate.”

Health tips for childrenIn the last-minute rush to make sure yourchild has his books, pencils and schooluniform ready, don’t forget to add a healthcheck-up to your to-do list.
The City of Cape Town’s Health Directo-rate has urged parents to add healthchecks to the list of ‘back-to-school’ prepa-rations for their children, including vacci-nations.
According to the National ChildhoodImmunisation Schedule, children are giv-en the tetanus and reduced strength ofdiphtheria vaccine (Td Vaccine) at the ageof six, followed by another round at theage of 12, explains the City’s MayoralCommittee member for Health BenedictaVan Minnen.
“I want to urge parents to ensure thattheir children receive these vaccinations,which are administered via an injectionin their upper arm.
“Prevention is always better thancure.
“Also, our clinics offer these immunisa-
tions free of charge.“We still have a few days left before the
academic year starts, so now is as good atime as any to get the vaccinations donefor children who need to get these shots,”she says.
City Health staff are also well placed toprovide advice on good nutrition, whichis a key focus of the directorate’s aware-ness and education programme, Van Min-nen says.
“It makes sense to prevent more peoplefrom getting sick, which is why we placesuch heavy emphasis on responsible be-haviour and good nutrition. Our staff canhelp parents with advice on finding a bal-ance for their child’s lunchbox that willpositively aid their growth and develop-ment, but also keep them healthy.”
Van Minnen says obesity in children isa concern and parents should help to keeptheir children healthy. “We need to do eve-rything possible to promote healthy eat-ing habits and exercise,” she says.

MONEY MATTERS
Advice on school suppliesMalls are abuzz with moms and scholars
that are ticking off items from theschool’s stationery lists. Even more
stressful than cramped shopping malls isscraping together the money to get your chil-dren school-ready after the carefree spendingof the holiday season.
Eunice Sibiya, head of consumer educationat a South African bank, says although mostof us prioritise saving for an education underthe top three reasons to save, parents oftenfactor in the large amounts such as school uni-forms and textbook fees and exclude or under-estimate the costs of stationery.
“Costs can add up to R400 for one child andthis only factors in one of each stationary itemtypically found on the stationery list. The
costs of one, let alone more than one child,can easily leave you in a financial tightspot in January,” she says.
Sibiya suggests the following ideas toavoid going financially bust during theback to school season:
Bit by bit“Buying school supplies in bits and
spaced out over the year when you do yourmonthly or weekly grocery shopping islighter on the pocket than buying all theitems at once.
Buy the basics of what your child willneed in January and purchase the rest lat-er - this could be a saving grace after theDecember festivities,” she says.
It also gives you the opportunity to teachyour children about budgeting with small-er amounts that they can wrap their headsaround.
Build it upA stationery cupboard or drawer means
that you will always have supplies readywhen the children run out of pens or exampads and it often works out cheaper as you
can capitalise on year-round specials, Sibiyasays.
Don’t forget to take stock of the children’sstationery leftovers at the end of the year.
“Children tend to want new supplies at thebeginning of each year when they might stillhave items that can be used in their currentstationery tins. Reuse or swop the items thatare still usable amongst the children.”
Dual giftsThe use of technology is becoming ever
more present in the schooling environmentand although lower grade scholars mightnot need tablets yet, it is likely that they willneed these devices and laptops from highschool. Instead of incurring the cost in thenew year, be savvy and make a birthday giftout of it.
Alternatively, use a match-funding ap-proach to teach your children the value ofmoney and the principle of delayed gratifica-tion.
“Make the proposition that if your childsaves a half or third of the device cost, youwill come to the party with the additionalfunds. Such techniques instil a savings cul-
ture in your children and will result in themtaking ownership in looking after their de-vices,” suggests Sibiya.
Plan aheadThe school year is filled with activities
that will require additional spending. Toavoid last minute costs that need to be in-curred but were not budgeted for, draw upa rough estimation of what these costs mighttally up to by requesting your child’s schoolcalendar and planning around sporting sea-son, school tours and school activity expens-es such as a Valentine’s ball or matric dance.
Based on this, decide on an amount thatcan be set up as a scheduled transfer to yoursavings account at the beginning of eachmonth.
On top of having peace of mind that thereare funds available, your money will alsogrow thanks to compound interest.
“There is no reason to be caught off-guardwhen it comes to the expenses that seemsmall relative to other school fees. A bit ofbudgeting and savvy savings techniquessuch as the above can go a long way,” con-cludes Sibiya
Agreement gives Cape Town film boostNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
An agreement between the film industryand the national home affairs departmenthas smoothed the way for internationalbusiness.
The agreement now makes it easier for in-ternational film teams to travel to the coun-try, explains Monica Rorvik, head of FilmPromotion at Wesgro, the Western Cape’s of-ficial tourism, trade and investment promo-tion agency.
The agreement takes into considerationtwo types of travellers to South Africa: theoversight group – which consists of client,agency and production company personnel– and the specialist group – which comprisesof actors, models, directors, technicians andart departments.
“According to the agreement, the over-sight group from visa exempt countries willnow be able to travel to South Africa withouthaving to pre-apply at a South African Em-bassy.
“The specialist group will still need to ap-ply in advance to the South African Embassybut the requirements have been stream-lined,” Rorvik says.
“We are delighted with the outcomereached with the Department of Home Af-fairs. The new agreement is a positive for usand goes a long way in facilitating the pro-motion and growth of the film industry.”
The Cape Film Commission has also wel-
comed the announcement, says CEO DenisLille. The film industry in Cape Town isquite a lucrative industry for local entrepre-neurs, small businesses and the local econo-my, says Tourism, Events and Economic De-velopment acting executive director TeralCullen.
“This booming industry ensures valuableskills transfer from international crews to
our local crews, which is critical to the fu-ture sustainability of the industry,” shesays. Last year, 10 309 film bookings weremade, with 6 741 permits being issued forvarious shoots, Cullen says.
“In the current tough global economic en-vironment, the country needs to remaincompetitive in as many sectors as possible.
“The film production sector adds valueto a wide range ofadditional sectors in the local economy bycreating a demand for products and services– with particularly strong links to the tour-ism sector. “The industry also showcasesCape Town, its diversity of locations, tech-nical film capacity and talent and address-es seasonality.”
“Cape Town is a popular filming locationoffering good natural lighting and provid-ing value-added marketing and investmentcollateral for the city and the country,” shefurther explains.
Cullen also say the local film industry hasover the past three years created more than35 000 jobs and contributed approximatelyR5bn to the economy.
“This is a highly competitive industry glo-bally, with each destination jostling to at-tract more film companies to their shores,”she says.
“Not only Cape Town, but South Africa,needs to continually ensure that it remainsan attractive destination for location film-ing in order to maintain its internationalreputation.”

Spike in contact crimesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Although the Steenberg pre-cinct did not experience anincrease of gang violence
over the festive season, police saycontact crimes did increase.Acting station commander Lieu-
tenant Colonel Adrian Saulse saysthis is due to robberies that oc-curred during the period betweenSaturday 1November to Thursday1 January.“We did, however, have meas-
ures in place to combat crime inthe precinct. We had extra person-nel to work during the festive sea-son and ensured that all suspectswere arrested,” Saulse says.The station also had a number of
successful arrests during thistime, he adds.During November, 99 arrests
weremade for drug-related crimes,10 suspects were arrested for the il-legal possession of firearms andammunition and 14 peoplewere ar-rested for driving under the influ-ence of alcohol. Only six cases ofgang-related crime were reportedand all suspects were arrested.“During December we had 152
drug arrests, two arrests weremade for the illegal possession ofa firearm and ammunition and on-ly one drunk driver was arrested,”Saulse says.He explains the station had suc-
cesses on contact and property-re-
lated crimes. “We made 52 arrestsduring November, 73 arrests dur-ingDecember andwe alreadyhave10 arrests for January,” he says.Saulse says a plan of action was
put in place for the festive seasonand this was already implementedduring October.“We had an Operation Festive
Season which we launched in Oc-tober. This ensured that the festiveseason went smoothly,” he says.No new hotspots were identified
during the period from October toJanuary, Saulse says.“All hotspots in sector 2 and sec-
tor 4 remained the same.”Saulse says the police were able
to work with the community dur-ing this time to ensure minimalcrime activity occurred.“The police had various pro-
grammes during the festive sea-son. We hosted two imbizos inHeathfield and Retreat. Both wentvery well. We also had a launch ofthe drill cadets on Saturday 22 No-vember with the Community Po-lice Forum and various non-gov-ernmental organisations,” hesays.Many more programmes, in-
cluding a Carols by Candlelightevening and food packets whichwere handed out to the homeless,were hosted by the Steenberg Po-lice.These were organised by Social
Crime officer Constable LukmaanAdams. VISIBILITY: Steenberg police focused on visibility patrols to curb crime during the holidays. PHOTO: CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen
A 60-year-old man was found dead in his ve-hicle on Prince George Drive on Monday 22December near Muizenberg Cemetery.Provincial police spokesperson Captain
FC van Wyk says the body was discoverednear Costa da Gama inMuizenberg at 17:25.“The victim was found lying in the driv-
er’s seat of a white Toyota Corolla. He sus-tained a gunshot [wound] to his back. Hewas declared dead on the scene by paramed-ics,” Van Wyk says.According to Muizenberg police shift
commander Warrant Officer Daniel Arri-son the slain businessman “knew his kill-ers”. He says it is suspected that the victimwas shot “after a deal went sour”.“We suspect that the deceased was mur-
dered after a deal went sour. Our investiga-
tion shows that the suspects were in the carwith the deceased before he was killed. Thesuspects fled on foot,” he says.Initial reports on social media alleged
that the deceased was hijacked before beingkilled. Arrison denies this.The deceased man was the owner of Jol-
ly’s Meats in Grassy Park. The family con-firmed this.
The store closed more than a year ago.The family did not want to comment fur-
ther as “it is still a very sensitive topic”.A murder docket was opened for investi-
gation. Themotive for themurder is not yetknown. No arrests have been made.Anyonewith information on this incident
is urged to contact Crime Stop on08600 10111.

LAVENDER HILL
Little woman, big heartCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Dynamite comes in small packages.This saying doesn’t ring any truer
for a mother from Lavender Hill.Short in stature, but big in deeds... intro-
ducing Hazel Mitchell.Mitchell and her husband Keith moved to
the area three years ago with their daughterKayleen, who is a trophy-reaping wheel-chair dancer.In their efforts to uplift a poverty-stricken
community and to bring light to dreary situ-ations, the Mitchells have become an inspi-ration to the community around them.Hazel has opened her home and heart to
many of the families in Lavender Hill eventhough she may not have much. She hasbeen hosting community programmeswhich she funds out of her own pocket. Thisis all done even though the family only sur-vives on the grants received for her husbandand daughter.“I have no idea how we get it right but it’s
a miracle and I’m grateful for it every day.We just take it day byday. I amable to enrichthe lives of others and their families andthat’s all that gives me the driving force to
continue doing what I do,” Hazel says.Workshops for arts and crafts, parenting
skills, adult literacy classes and physiothera-py are among the programmes she offers fromher homewhich she hasmade available to thecommunity.“We have weekly workshops run at my
house, whichwe have now called the KayleenCottage, and it’s amazing to see how peoplebuild their confidence through these work-shops. Theykeep comingback to learnmore,”she adds.Hazel took it upon herself to empower peo-
ple with disabilities in her community. Thisis done through literacy classes and parent-ing skills hosted at the Kayleen Cottage.“We don’t want our disabled loved ones to
just be vegetables at home and hidden fromthe world. We find that this is the case manytimes because people are souneducated aboutdealing with the disabled,” she says.Every Wednesday Hazel runs a soup kitch-
en fromher home inHilaryDrivewhich feedsbetween 30 to 60 people.“I am so grateful for donations that come
from the community. They support me end-lessly and it’s amazing to see that a communi-ty that is plagued by social evils can come to-gether like this for a good cause,” Hazel
beams.Kayleen celebrated her 21st birthday
during December and knowing that thefamily was struggling to make ends meet,Hazel’s friend and ex-colleague TracyGreen nominated her for the KFM Christ-mas Project.“Hazel is just such an amazing person.
She shares everything she has to the pointwhere she would go without. She is mind-blowingly generous,” Green says.This spurred Green on to send a letter to
the radio station so she may be considereda beneficiary of their project.“I was so excited when they called to say
the letter was chosen and Hazel would be-come a beneficiary. She deserves it. I wantto see the Kayleen Cottage grow from here
on out,” Green adds.Hazel received vouchers for R1 000 for 12
months from a local chain store. They alsoagreed to donate money to Kayleen’s 21stbirthday.“I was totally shocked when I heard that
I was being given these vouchers. I will usethemonthly vouchers formy soup kitchen.”Asked about the next step for Kayleen Cot-
tage, Hazel says she dreams of opening anaftercare centre for people with disabilitiesliving in the community and surrounds.“It is a huge dream but it is what I want
to see grow from what has been built herealready.”“Iwant our disabled people to have a place
to go to where they can interact and buildtheir confidence,” she concludes.
PLACE OF HOPE: Hazel Mitchell stands outside her home, also known as the Kayleen Cottage.Here she runs various community projects to uplift her community.

cially proud that theWestern Capehas again achieved thehighest per-centage of bachelor’s passes in thecountry, with 38.8% of learnersachieving this quality pass.”Schäfer congratulated schools
and matriculants on their resultsand said she was proud of whatthey had achieved.To encourage those who were
not successful in passing theirmatric exams, Schäfer quotedWin-ston Churchill: “Failure is not fa-tal: it is the courage to continuethat counts”.“While the vast majority of our

SAFETY
Authority issues shark alertBeachgoers have been
warned to be vigilant forsharks during the summer
season.According to a statement by the
City of Cape Town the presenceof great white sharks in the in-shore areas increases this time ofyear.The Fish Hoek shark exclusion
net is being deployed and re-trieved daily and Shark Spottersare monitoring identified beach-es to ensure the safety of all visi-tors to in-shore areas, councilsays in a statement.Since September, there have
been 57 shark sightings at beach-es monitored by the Shark Spot-ters.There have been 36 sightings at
MuizenbergCorner, sevenatFishHoek, five at Monwabisi, three atSt James, two at Kogel Bay, twoat Glencairn, one sighting at TheHoek in Noordhoek and one atClovelly.With the presence of great
white sharks at in-shore areas ex-pected to increase over the sum-mer season, theCity ofCapeTownis ensuring that the necessaryprecautionary measures are be-ing effected.Shark Spotters are monitoring
identified beaches and the FishHoek shark exclusion net is be-ing deployed and retrieved daily.The Fish Hoek exclusion net
has proven to be an effective
shark safety measure by creatinga physical barrier preventing anysharks from entering the bathingarea.Trials conducted during 2013
and 2014 indicated that the risk tomarine life remains very low andthat there arehigh levels of publicsupport for the exclusion net be-coming a permanent feature ofFish Hoek Beach.Until March, the Fish Hoek ex-
clusion net will operate daily, de-pending on the weather.Weekends, public holidays and
school holidays will be priori-tised.The exclusionnetwill not be de-
ployed if weather conditions(wind and swell) are deemed to beunsuitable; this will be assessedon a daily basis. If weather condi-tions deteriorate over the courseof a day when the net is alreadydeployed, the netmay be removedas a precautionary measure.Additionally, if there is a high
presence of whales or other ma-rine mammals in the area the netwill not be deployed.–The net will also not be de-
ployed when trek-netting is tak-ing place in the area.If a whale moves into the area
while the net is deployed, theShark Spotters herd the animalaway from the net and out of thearea, using the exclusionnet boat.This is in accordance with the
approved whale disentanglement
strategy and residents should notbe concerned if this occurs.On days the exclusion net is de-
ployed, the operating hours willbe from 09:00 to 17:00, andmay oc-casionally be extended to allowfor lifesaving training or events.The Shark Spotters will keep
beach users informed via Twitter(@SharkSpotters) and Facebookas to whether the net is deployed.Surfers are warned to be vigi-
lant in the areas between SunriseBeach and Macassar Beach dur-ing the spring and summermonths, as research has shown
that shark presence in these wa-ters is extremely common at thistime of year.Surfers should also be aware
that sightings of great whitesharks at Noordhoek beach arecommon on the days following anorth-west wind.

Beach boozing bannedBoozing on city beaches over the festive sea-son has seen City of Cape Town Law En-forcement officers impound alcohol at arapid rate.Between Monday 1 December and Satur-
day 3 January, officers impounded 9 445 bot-tles of alcohol, amounting to 7 083 litres.The highest number of bottles (3 520) was
confiscated in Area East, which stretchesfrom Monwabisi to Gordon’s Bay along theFalse Bay coastline.Mayoral committee member for Safety
and Security JP Smith says the number ofconfiscations is about 2 500 bottles morethan the same period last year.“Like enforcement relating to possession
of drugs, these offences require proactivepolicing, so the higher number is good newsfrom a policing point of view. It also meansthat more people were left high and dry andfor that we are grateful, because it has hadan impact on other safety aspects –most no-tably the reduction in the number of drown-ing incidents over the peak period.”
Beach drownings at all-time lowThe 2014/2015 festive season will godown as one of the safest on record forthe city’s beaches.This as the number of drowning inci-
dents dropped significantly when com-pared with the previous festive season.Three drowning incidents were re-
corded on beaches for the festive season,between September 2014 and January2015, compared to 18 drowning incidentsover the same period in 2013/2014.With thousands of people on the city’s
beaches over the festive season, this isan extraordinary feat, says City of CapeTown Sport, Recreation and AmenitiesDepartment director Gert Bam.“We are pleased that the combined ef-
forts of all role players have yielded suchpositive results.The department’s extensive summer
safety campaign helped to educate mem-bers of the public on basic safety tips toobserve when on the beaches.In addition, law enforcement officers
have beenhighly visible andhave confis-cated a substantial amount of alcohol,which helped to reduce the number of in-cidents associatedwith intoxication,” hesays.The decrease in the number of drown-
ing incidents is also reflective of thequality of the lifeguard service providedby Lifesaving Western Province andtheir associated lifesaving clubs – partic-ularly over the weekends around Christ-
mas andNewYear’s Daywhen a numberof people were assisted by the lifeguardson duty, Bam says.“Despite the drastic drop, every
drowning incident is one too many andeach incident is documented and re-viewed to ensure that further precau-tions are taken to prevent such incidentsfrom happening in the future,” he says.“Members of the public are reminded
to swimonly indesignated swimmingar-eas indicated by flags Law Enforcementofficers patrolling beaches to assist inensuring that people swim only in desig-nated areas.“We ask that all people respect the in-
structions of both lifeguards and LawEnforcement officers and also report anyirresponsible behaviour in the water,such as people swimming off the rocks,so that they can keep people safe.”Bam says beachgoers should always
swim between the red and yellow flags.These indicate safe, supervised swim-ming areas. An area outside of theseflags could have dangerous rip currentsand tides.He advises swimmers to swim in
groups and raise their arm and wave ifthey are in trouble.Bam also says if you see someone in
trouble in the sea, alert the lifeguards orfind trained help.“Do not put your own life in danger as
well,” he adds.

St Martin’s stunWestridge YankeesJOSEPH PILLAY
The second half of the WesternProvince Softball Federa-tion’s season resumed in all
earnest at Turfhall StadiumonSat-urday.
And while Falcons worked theirway to a hard-earned 6-4 victoryagainst a gutsy Kenfac Philliesside, Tantasport was equal to thetask in beating VOB 7-4.
St Martin’s, meanwhile, turnedthe tables in recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivals WestridgeYankees from Mitchell’s Plain inthe Super League competition thathad many fans smiling from ear toear.
However, coachWayne May andhis Glenthorn-Athlone side, stillsporting an unbeaten run to date,were not in action but are well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine gameswith a full quota of 18 points in thebag.
They are twopoints ahead of sec-ond-placed Falcons (16 points) whohave played ten matches to date.
Nonetheless, with St Martin’shaving downedWestridgeYankeesand causing the latter to suffertheir fourth defeat in ninematches– Saints have moved up the ladder
to third position with 11 pointsfrom 10 assignments.
Head coach Natasha de Klerk’sYankees left it too late.
Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifthinning,Yankees awoke fromadeepslumber and in the sixth battingframe registered their first runs onthe scoreboard when Aimee-LeighCampbell, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams each crossed thehome plate.
However, the three runs werenot enough to salvage a point orturn defeat into victory. Yankeesis seemingly no longer the team tobeat in the league or the biggestname in the game.
Neither do they drive fear intoopposition teams, leading to anumber of hardcore softball fansquestioning whether the club willever return to their former gloryagain and challenge for the title.
Besides Saints pitcher LindsayDamon showing her mettle on themound, the highlight of theBishopLavis side’s well-deserved victorywas the solo circuit hit – the homerun belonging to Elderisha Lan-genhoven, who batted 1-1.
Langenhoven was ably support-ed by Nawaal Nacerodien, BonitaCloete (three bagger) each 1-2, Dan-ielle Ford andKimCloete (each 1-3)
in which Saints smacked fivehits off Yankees pitcherMegan Ca-ble.
Cable in her sixth inning earnedfour strike outs, but also struggledto find the plate as she concededseven base-on-balls and the score-line could have been bigger had itbeen that Saints left seven strand-ed between bases.
However, Lindsay Damon heldher nerve and pitched a steadygame with a well marshalled fieldthat ably assisted her in almostregistering a shut-out victory toher name, considering that Yan-kees loaded the bases twice in thethird and sixth frame but could on-ly once score runs due to poor bat-ting.
Damon, in her six inning con-test, claimed two scalps and al-lowed three base-on-balls whileshe gave up three scattered hits ofwhich Aimee-Lee Campbell,Glynis Koopman and RoxanneOhlsson fared best for Yankeeswith the bat.
Adding to the thrills and spills inthe Major League, StrandfonteinMets placed second on the log, beatBelhar Dolphins 11-0 while Aven-dale andNormies shared the spoils3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minute showdown.
