PROBLEM BUILDINGS: DERELICT PROPERTIES A CRIME DRAWCARD

Derailed by social illsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Drugs abuse, vagrancy andpet-ty crime.

These are just some of thesocial ills emanating from a dere-lict building in Railway Street, ac-cording to Woodstock businessowners.

The property, between the rail-way line and an industrial busi-ness park, has between 20 and 30people living on site, with almostdouble that number visiting it dai-ly, says a local business owner.

“I’ve seen items such a fencingandwindow frames removed in on-ly a matter of days. Sometimes youwitness drug abuse and fighting onthe site,” he says.

And an illegal scrap yard in Rail-way Road is only adding to thewoes of local business owners.

“Now when vandals steal win-dow fittings and other fixtures,they can take them straight to thescrap yard. This money is thenspent on their next fix,” believesone business owner.

Woodstock police spokespersonSergeant Hilton Malila says offic-ers have carried out regular opera-tions and continue to patrol the ar-ea.

“I can confirm that our officershave made a couple of arrest inRailway Street under the trainbridge, for possession of drugs andstolen property,” he says.

However,Malila says, no reportsof illegal scrap yards have been re-ceived.

“According to my knowledgethere were no complaints receivedat the station pertaining to an ille-gal scrap yard in Railway Road.However, we will monitor thepremises to verify the informationreceived. If we do find that there isan illegal scrap yard in operationin Railway Road, we will issue theowners with spot fines.”

Economic, Environmental and

Spatial PlanningMayoral Commit-tee member Johan van der Merwesays no permission has been grant-ed for a scrap yard to operate.

“The Planning and Building De-velopment Management Depart-ment’sEnforcement sectionwill bedoing a site visit to the scrap yardto investigate the matter and willtake action where necessary,” hesays.

Metrorail regional manager Ri-chard Walker acknowledged thatthe derelict state of buildings in theWoodstock station precinct isproblematic.

“As the rail operator we cannotjustify the continued cost of pro-viding security for derelict build-ings when the need to protect cus-tomers, employees and productiveassets is top priority,” he says.

He confirmed that Metrorail’ssister division, Passenger Rail As-sociation of SA Corporate Real Es-tate Solutions (Prasa Cres), hadearmarked the site for future de-velopment. Until such time, the ar-ea is patrolled regularly and va-grants periodically removed.

However, the derelict building isjust one of several problematicproperties owned by Prasa in thevicinity. Several buildings in Tideand Beach roads are also standingvacant. These sites have beenstripped of window frames, roofrafters and almost all internal fix-tures.

Business owners believe the der-elict buildings encourage criminalactivity in the area.

Danny Prinsloo has had twobreak-ins at her shop in TideStreet, with her neighbours suffer-ing from another half a dozen simi-lar crimes. As lessees of Prasa,they are now calling on Prasa totake responsibility.

“I nowhavemyownsecurity andhavehad to install analarmsystemand lighting out of my own pocketbecause it takes too long towait forPrasa. Some of these derelict build-

ings had interested tenants, butPrasa took so long to enter into acontract that they leased else-where. Now the buildings are insuch a state they can’t be leasedout,” she says.

Metrorail has recently removedvagrants from several rail pre-cincts with the assistance of rail-way police, says Walker.

“Several other interventions arebeing considered and the feasibili-ty of each discussed with the prin-cipals of the various agencies. Onepossible option could be to extend

the jurisdiction of municipal lawenforcement agencies to includerailway property. Finding a sus-tainable and cross-functional solu-tion to an entrenched socio-eco-nomic dilemma is critical. Untilsuch time as adequate facilitiesand viable alternatives are availa-ble to Cape Town’s indigents, theirpresence in inappropriate areaswill unfortunately remain.”

Safety and Security MayoralCommittee member JP Smith saysonly 15BeachRoadhas been classi-fied as a problem building thus far.

“However, the buildings in theblock between Tide and Beachroads are all under investigationby the Problem Building Unit. Ac-tion will be taken in accordancewith thebylawwherenecessary. In2009, a court interdict was issuedagainst 156 respondents occupyingthe land inRailwayRoad, the prop-erty of Prasa. Since [then] numer-ous integrated operations havebeen conducted,” he says.

“However, without long-term in-tervention by the land owner, theoccupants slowly return.”

INDIGENT: HELP AT HAND FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE

Keeping cold at bayNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A new and improved winterprogramme launched thisweek seeks to step up to the

challenge of keeping street peoplewarm.The programme of theObserva-

tory Improvement District willnow offer hot showers, takeawaymeals, a comprehensive assess-ment of each person’s needs anddirect access to shelter staff.However, safeguarding street

people against chilly winter dayshas become more challenging,with many homeless people un-willing to move to shelters.The cold weather has already

claimed victims, as the body of ahomeless man was found in DiepRiver. Although the cause ofdeathhasnot beenconfirmed,me-dia reports have speculated hedied from the bitterwinterweath-er.Improvement district social is-

sues officer Kenneth Roman saysaround 75%of the almost 45 streetpeople in Observatory are reluc-tant to access the services at ashelter. He says this is due tostrict rules at shelters, such as nodrinking or disruptive behav-iour, which many homeless peo-ple find challenging to follow.Council has fieldworkers who

are out on the streets daily to mo-

tivate street people to go to shel-ters, says Suzette Little, MayoralCommitteemember for Social De-velopment and Early ChildhoodDevelopment.“However, the fieldworkers

cannot force people to go to shel-ters. The department has alsomade over 200 emergency mat-tress available for thewinter peri-od for street people,” she says.“The department has a number

of programmes in place to assiststreet people and does its best toprovide them with the opportuni-ty andmeans to get off the streets.Through the interventions of ap-pointed fieldworkers and via ourassessment centres, we seek to as-sist street people in finding workopportunities, including via ourExpanded Public Works Pro-gramme, and we provide the nec-essary services and assistance tothem so that they can be reinte-grated back into their communi-ties of origin and be reunitedwiththeir families.”In this way, says Little, “we

seek to give them a hand up, butthey cannot be forced to acceptour offers of assistance”.But this leaves the homeless at

the mercy of the elements on thestreet.Roman explains: “Every year

we lose about four people. Theydie from sickness such as TBwhich are made worse by cold

winters. A street person’s clothesoften get wet with the winter rainand because he has nowhere tohang them, he will have to wearthose wet clothes until they dryon him.”As part of the winter pro-

gramme all the suburb’s streetpeople are gathered together oncea week. They can take advantageof a hot shower and enjoy a warmmeal. An assessment of each per-son’s needs will also be carriedout. Representatives from shel-ters will be on hand to explain theprocess followedby the shelter, hesays.Roman has called on residents

to assist the organisationwith do-nations, but emphasises all assist-ance should be directed throughthe improvement district and notgiven directly to street people.Little adds: “Those who would

like to assist street people shouldgive donations to organisationswhich assist street people ratherthan to street people directly asthis just perpetuates the cycle.Giving donations to street peopledirectly encourages them to re-main on the streets, instead ofseeking assistance via the availa-ble channels to get off the streetsand reintegrate into their com-munities.”V Call Roman on 072 490 4097 the Cityof Cape Town’s Street People Call Centreon 0800 872 201.

“Not on our watch and notin our name.”The District Six Rede-

velopment and Beneficiary Trusthas announced that it will with-draw from the third phase of hous-ing developments, says chairper-son Anwah Nagia.The Trust’s chief executive offic-

er,NazAlly, in a recent radio inter-view, has suggested claimantswere being seduced by the promiseof a free home instead of subscrib-ing to the Trust’s vision of a sus-tainable District Sixwith dignifiedhomes and commercial opportuni-ties.Nagia says the organisation has

pioneered the return of claimantsto District Six but has “lots of is-sues” with the current phase of de-velopment.The third phase will see almost

300 homes built.The houses – which are around

60m² – undermine the Trust’s vi-sion for the area which would al-low residents business rights totheir properties.However, in orderfor larger homes to be build, claim-ants would have to contributearound R250 000.“The current phase is asking

claimants to forgo their businessrights to get free houses. The bal-ance of commercial land rests inthe hands of the claimants, as theincome generated will come back

into the community. We don’t be-lieve the view being used on thisphase is well informed. Thesehouses are only slightly biggerthan an RDP house and will deval-ue the entire area,” he says.“It’s not about brick andmortar.

It’s about restorative justice. It’sabout bringing the working classback to the city.”Nagia believes some interest

groups are pushing an agenda toensure the Trust takes a back seat.“We’re not going quietly. Some

may have turned against us, butwe’ve done everything possible tobring claimants back to DistrictSix. We’re used to fighting,” hesays.A Reference Group was elected

in 2012 and was mandated to fasttrack the next phase of develop-ment in the District Six restitutionprocess.Nagia says this stepwas takenby

the Department of Rural Develop-ment and Land Reform to mini-mise the Trust’s involvement.“The government lied about the

ReferenceGroup.TheTrustwas al-ways the mouth piece for the com-munity and was democraticallyelected. The minister felt a refer-ence group would be more repre-sentative, but no electionswere ev-er held,” he claims.District Six Working Committee

chairperson Shahied Ajam saysthe organisation will step forwardto represent District Six claimantsalong with the elected Reference

Group. He says the Trust has hada limited role in the restitutionprocess for the last two years.“Their account is not entirely

true. In 2012, the Trust was re-placed by the minister because ofthe R250 000 housing debacle.They’ve been out of the process forover two years now. I don’t see howthey can be vindictive towards

those who have accepted the thirdphase of housing,” he says.Vuyani Nkasayi, of the rural de-

velopment department, says thedepartment was not aware that theTrust had withdrawn from thethird phase.“We see that they sometimes

come to meetings and sometimesdon’t. We are not aware of any alle-

gations that theTrustwas replacedin 2012. Claimants are representedby a reference group which waselected community members,” hesays.However, the Trust does not in-

tend withdrawing from the rede-velopment process altogether, saysNagia.“We’ll never walk away.”

Tax return email scam alertWith the tax return filing date looming clos-er, countless taxpayers have fallen victim toan elaborate scam.Promising a believablewindfall, it is byno

means only the ignorant who are duped.Unsuspecting taxpayers receive an email

from “SARS eFiling Alert”, informing themthey have received a tax credit payment intotheir bank accounts by the South AfricanRevenue Service E-filing.This sum could range from anything from

R2000 to R8000, making it in range of the av-erage annual tax return payout.The person is then prompted to click on

a link to “confirm online epayment”, and itis on this link where the victim is very clev-erly deceived to give out their banking de-tails.Once this is done, the scammers are

equipped with the necessary information tosteal funds from your account at any time.

(Sars) is aware of this scamand is current-ly investigating it.Theywarns taxpayers to be extra vigilant.“Many taxpayers have already been

scammed and countless others have tele-phoned to enquire about this email,” says aspokesperson at Sars who warns tax payersnot to respond to this email.“The particular email address does not be-

long to us and Sars will never prompt any-one, evene-filers, to providebankingdetails.If a payment is tobemadebyus,wewill auto-maticallydeposit it intoyourbankaccount,”he says.“In addition, tax return filing date only

opens on Tuesday 1 July, and no return pay-outs could have been made yet.”Sars urges all taxpayers to rather contact

them at their contact centre on 0800 007 277,if they should be unsure about any Sars-re-lated payments.

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDThursday, 26 June 2014 NEWS 5SALT RIVER: LANDMARK REDEVELOPED

Your new Pals on the cornerNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Salt River landmark is receiving afacelift, which developers believewill add to the redevelopment of the

suburb.The Pals building in Durham Avenue,

named after the clothing manufacturerpreviously occupying the building, is cur-rently being redeveloped.

The property will be transformed intoa commercial property with retailerssuch as Nando’s, BrandsEye, Red and Yel-low Advertising School, Zando and Quirktaking up tenancy. The building will alsoinclude undercover parking bays.

Opposite Pals is the Cornerstone Insti-tute building, which was revamped by thesame development team last year. Thisbuilding was purchased in 2011 and con-verted to a purpose-fitted educational fa-cility.

The former Ryprop Park building onthe corner of Swift and Cecil streets wasrecently demolished and will be replacedby shops and a parking lot.

The development was designed to re-flect the characteristics of the neighbour-ing heritage buildings, says architectEtienne Britz.

“A comprehensive study has been un-dertaken to understand the nature of theheritage buildings in the area. The profes-sional design team has worked with theheritage and urban design departments ofthe City of Cape Town to ensure that thedevelopment is sensitive and appropriateto the surrounding context,” he says.

The area around the Pals and Rypropbuildings will be turned into a paved pe-destrian walkway, building up the dis-trict for the many people who use CecilRoad as a thoroughfare from Salt Riverstation to Victoria Road. A park and pub-

lic square has been incorporated into thedesign to make the area more usable forthe public and workers.

Contradictory to most security-con-scious developments, burglar bars on thebuilding have been removed “to open upthe building to the outside world”. Solarpanels have also been installed to ensurethat the building complies with green reg-ulations.

Developer Dawie Swart says it was onlya matter of time before the suburb experi-enced renewed interest.

“Due to its location and proximity tothe CBD, it was only a matter of time untilSalt River was revitalised. Compared tothe rest of South Africa, Cape Town hasa shortage of commercial property and wehave seen a demand for this node andhave had no problem in renting out thenewly-refurbished spaces,” he says.

Salt River Ratepayers’ Associationchairperson Warda Rahim still remem-bers the thriving retail hub that the sub-urb was in the 1970s and ’80s.

“Before we had so many malls. Salt Riv-er’s main road used to be the place for thecoloured community to come shop. Wewould like to see redevelopment carriedout that brings more feet and money intothe area. However, these developmentsshould enhance and beautify the suburbwithout impacting negatively on the com-munity living here. The communityshould be consulted and able to object tothings such as liquor outlets,” she says.

The redevelopment of the building hasallowed funds to be unlocked to upgradethe surrounding roads and pavements,says Britz.

“It also allowed for the upgrade of Shel-ley Street Park. Thus the commerciallydriven redevelopment channelled fundsin such a way that all users of the areabenefit from the urban upgrade,” he says.

CHILD TRAFFICKING: NEW RULE FROM DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS

Securing future generationsIn an effort to reduce child trafficking inSouth Africa, the Department of HomeAf-fairs has issued a newandunique require-

ment that will come into effect on Wednes-day 1 October.In a press release, the Department of

Home Affairs revealed children under theage of 18 will be required to produce an una-bridged birth certificate in addition to apassportwhenentering ordeparting or tran-siting South Africa.The Amendment Acts and the new regula-

tions came into effect on 26 May. The newregulation was initially going to be in effectas of 1 July. However the Department ofHome Affairs has provided a grace period toallow children to travel with parents orguardians without an unabridged birth cer-tificate until the end of September.This means that families will be able to

travel with children even for the comingschool holidays as some would have madethe necessary arrangements ahead of thenew regulation commencing.Thedepartment urges citizens and foreign

nationals to heed the call to apply for una-bridged birth certificates for children. Anunabridged birth certificate of the child re-flecting the particulars of the parents is re-quired in terms of the Immigration Regula-tion 6 (12)(a) for children travellingwith par-ents.This new requirement must be adhered to

regardless of the nationality, whether the

child is travelling with parents, with otheradults or unaccompanied.June Crawford, CEO of the Board of Air-

line Representatives SA (Barsa), says SouthAfrica will be the only country in the worldmandating this for travellers by air and, asa result, will cause “mass confusion and dis-ruption” to tourists andair travellers global-ly.“Air travellers and travel agents in South

Africa and overseas just don’t know aboutthis requirement. Why would they? A pass-port is the globally recognised travel docu-ment,” she says. Crawford says from 1 Julyairlines will be “forced” to refuse travel tofamilies not in possession of these docu-ments and as a result will cause disruptionto travel plans, financial impact on serviceproviders and reputational damage forSouth Africa is inevitable. “The policy tim-ing could not be worse as South Africa pre-pares to welcome tourists over the peak Eu-ropean school holiday travel season.”The Department of Home Affairs states

that the purpose of the unabridged birth cer-tificate requirement is to create an addition-al verification to deter child trafficking andwhile the goal is well-meaning, the unin-tended consequences of the resulting confu-sion is significant.The home affairs department started issu-

ing unabridged birth certificates for new-borns from 4 March 2013, on the spot, at nocost. This followed the department’s review

of the Birth andDeath Act (1992)and the Citizen-ship Act (1995)which culminat-ed in the SouthAfrican Citizen-ship AmendmentAct 2010.The una-

bridged birth cer-tificate is moresecure and relia-ble with added in-formation as itcontains particu-lars of both par-ents, where possi-ble, and their IDnumbers andtherefore sup-ports the drive tosecure the Na-tional PopulationRegister so thatall people in thecountry are andfeel safe.The application can be made at any home

affairs office, by the parents (guardian), whoshould take along their identity documentsand the child’s abridged certificate.These changes will also promote the de-

partment’s main function of issuing secure,credible and accurate birth certificates aswell as identity documents to all citizens.Matipa Mwamuka, counter trafficking

project coordinator for NPO Activists Net-working against the Exploitation of Chil-dren, agrees with the protection measure.“Although we have not looked at the newregulations thoroughly, we do welcome it.This will especially assist with children

travelling from war torn countries makingit easier to track them,” she says.This will also assist in tracking children

in cases where their parents are separatedand the child travels with one parent, Mwa-mukaadds. “Wealsoneed to seewhichbarri-ers exist. Wewant to know how easily acces-sible this document is to parents and guardi-ans, especially those living in remote areas,”she says.Mwamuka further says the home affairs

department needs to look beyond the surfaceof this newregulation. “Weask that a systembe put in place to monitor the application,process and accessibility of this document.V For more information visit http://www.dha.gov.za/

VIRTUAL FRAUD: HOLIDAY HOME ‘DID NOT EXIST’

Scammed outof holidayCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Online scamming is be-coming a virtual night-mare as one holiday-

maker found out.Desperate for some time

out and in search of afforda-ble holiday accommodation,Zariah de Wet started look-ing for places online.“I responded to an adver-

tisement on [a website] andbooked a holiday home overthe Easter weekend. I spoketo a guy who identified him-self,” she says.“I deposited an amount of

R3 560 into a Nedbank ac-count and arrangements were made to ar-rive on Thursday 18 April. When we ar-rived at our destination we realised the ad-dress was not holiday accommodation and,in fact, did not exist,” says an angryDeWet.The holiday home was advertised show-

ing photos of the property.Police spokesperson Constable Zandile

Marashula confirms that a case of fraudwas reported at the Mitchell’s Plain PoliceStation and the case is still under investiga-tion. No suspects have been arrested.“We can confirm that a case of fraud was

reported on Friday 4 April. The complain-ant alleges she booked a holiday getawayand made payments for the reservation.The complainant later discovered that theplace does not exist,” Marashula says.De Wet has since tried to contact the per-

son she liaised with to make the reserva-tion. “They are still operating with thenumber I contacted them on, but they keepusing different names,” De Wet says.“It’s so frustrating that they can get away

with my hard-earned cash.”Sergeant Jerome Voegt from Mitchell’s

Plain police says consumers should be verywise when making purchases online. “Donot deposit money into an account withoutreferencing and checking that the productyou’re purchasing is legitimate,” he says.Police urge the community to be more

alert of fraudulent internet purchases.“We encourage the community to report

such cyber crimes,” Marashula says.V Have you been scammed through an online pur-chase? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your viewsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

THERAPY DOG: NEWFOUNDLAND IS ‘HAPPY TO LISTEN’

Children dig DanniANDRÉ BAKKES

@andrebakkes

Although Danni Car-rera Beanz knowsshe’s gorgeous, dig-

gingholes is her favouriteactivity.Danni digs, but she has

plenty more to offer thanjust holes in the ground.She is a “therapy dog”.And her human, Edith

Kriel of Jelly Beanz, is al-so a therapist.People’s Post patted

Danni and spoke to Edithrecently about the “thera-py dog” initiative by theTable View-based non-profit organisation thatgives hope to children af-fected by trauma and abu-se.“We called herDanni so

a child could see her as aboy or a girl,” says Edith.“As part of Danni’s work,children might projecttheir own issues onto her,so they can choose whatthey want Danni to be.”

Dog daysDanni, who has been in-

volved in playful tug-of-war with a rope, stopsbriefly and tilts her headquizzically.“Her surname, Beanz, is self-explanatory,

and her middle name comes from the Por-che Carerra model. Porche were our initialsponsors,” says Edith.Danni is still undergoing obedience trai-

ning, but she has already left her mark onJelly Beanz.“We went to a school recently and talked

about how dogs could be used in work, suchas police dogs. After the assembly a littlegirl went to her teacher and told her abouttrauma in her own life, something she hasnever told anyone before. The girl thenasked the teacher if she could go talk toDan-ni about it – and the lady who belongs toDanni. I became sort of insignificant, becau-se Danni is now the drawcard,” explainsEdith.AndDanni is happy to listen to children’s

fears and help them wipe away their tears.All she asks in return is a tummy scratch

and food.“She likes food,” says Edith.Danni sits bolt upright at the mention of

food.On the website yourpurebredpuppy.com,

the Newfoundland is described as being“calm, dignified and generally quiet”.They forgot to add the conditional clause

“as long as you don’t mention food”.“She lovesherpellets andeats a relatively

large amount of food every day... So wewould love it if someone helped us sponsorher food for a while,” says Edith.Any mention of food gets Danni’s full at-

tention, possibly also because food is usedas an effective means to motivate her, as itis in most dog training.

But her long lustrous coat also needs at-tention.Edith says Danni is groomed twice a

month at a pet parlour.This is all to keep Danni looking good for

the important work she has to do.“The most important aspect is, of course,

the role Danni will be playing at Jelly Be-anz.If a child sees Danni make amistake then

it’s a very useful place to begin a conversati-on about howwe allmakemistakes, howwemanage it and how people respond to it.“Also, just having an animal there for the

children is comforting. Danni is my co-the-rapist,” elaborates Edith.V If anyone can sponsor food for Danni Carrera Beanzthey can contact Jelly Beanz on (021) 556 2456 oremail edith at [email protected].

WOOF: Danni is not a bear, but a dog – and a therapy dog at that!

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDThursday, 26 June 201412 LEADER

No sense to legalise dog racingDog racing has been illegal in South Africasince 1949. Beauty Without Cruelty is moststrongly opposed to the proposal to legalisedog racing aftermore than 70 years! Dog rac-ing has many inherent welfare concernswhich include:

Animals being seen only as a commoditytomakemoney, resulting in lack of affectionand care;

Puppymill or backyard breeding with theresulting neglect, cruelty, abuse and killingof dogs unsuited to racing;

We already have a serious unwanted do-mestic animal population;

Dogs are confined to small cages when nottraining or racing, with no social interac-tion with other dogs;

General disregard for veterinary care, asthis is considered an unnecessary cost;

Injuries through racing, and often beingforced to race although injured throughdrug use. Humans have a choice to partici-pate with injuries, the animals do not. Dogscan suffer broken legs, cardiac arrest, spinal

cord paralysis and broken necks on thetrack;

‘Bait’ animals are often used to train rac-ing dogs;

The contribution to the use of dogs forhunting;

And there is seldom a life of luxury for re-tired dogs. Usually they are simply dumped,discarded or killed, often cruelly.

Dog racing is currently not legal, nor hasit ever been traditional, anywhere in Africa.And with a worldwide decline, in the fewplaces not banned, precisely due to inherentcruelty, it makes no sense to wish to legaliseit now.

This is a human rights issue as well as ananimal rights one – dog racing perpetuatesgambling, which impacts immensely onfamilies, most often those which are alreadyfinancially strained, and contributes nega-tively to a violent and already animal-un-friendly society.TONI BROCKHOVEN,Beauty Without Cruelty

Help save City parksMany of the City of Cape Town’s parks aresafe, welcoming spaces which are used dur-ing daylight hours and sometimes in the eve-nings for recreation.

Other parks arenot aswell used and there-fore have the potential to become the focusof drug dealing and substance abuse, anti-so-cial behaviour and illegal dumping of house-hold refuse and builders’ rubble.

It is a vicious circle: because the park isempty, people perceive it to be unsafe; theyavoid using it and vandals and criminalsthen move in. Graffiti and illegal dumpingreinforce the negative image so a park thatshould be a community asset instead be-comes a problem space and a magnet forcrime and grime.

As part of the World Design Capital 2014project, parks across the city are being rede-signed with help and suggestions from localcommunities. We have been told over andover again that people want parks wherethey can enjoy being outdoors, spend timewith their families, and enjoy active recrea-tional opportunities.

We are encouraging people to take owner-

ship of their parks by getting involved inthem – by, for example, gardening in parksif they live in apartments and don’t havegardens of their own, joining the Friends oftheir local park group or starting a group ifone does not exist.

We urge everyone to be good citizens:please pick up litter, report suspicious orunacceptable behaviour to the sector police,and let the City knowwho is responsible forillegal dumping and vandalism. This senseof ownership is essential to a successfulpark and it is a partnership between theCityand the communitywhichmakes it possible.

Parks should provide an alternative foranti-social behaviour and should not be aspace where it happens. Teenagers andyoung adults need activities that appeal tothemandweare beginning tomeet this needwith skate parks, BMX tracks, surfing andswimming programmes and safe socialspaces in community halls especially in wetand cold weather.BELINDA WALKER,City of Cape Town Mayco member of CommunityServices and Special Projects

Death penaltyhas no placein this countryThe letter “Restorative justice the way togo” (People’s Post, 12 June) by Yagyah Ad-ams cannot go unchallenged.

He finds pleasure in stirring up emotions;his rantings to bring back the death penaltyappear in various papers all the time.

Whymust people go on about this scourgewhen our highest court, the ConstitutionalCourt, ruled against it with a unanimous11-0 vote? And when there is already somuch violence?

Our country can never go back to its uglypast.

He wants us to rethink our position to-wards addicts; history has taught us that to-day it’s addicts, murderers, rapists. Tomor-row it will be the homeless, homosexuals,dwarfs, albinos, “witches” and heavenknows who else.

Sooner or later people who reason likethis will find that everybody is in their way;they might as well do it themselves, or hirecontract killers to do their dirty work.

Examples are Clive Derby-Lewis (whenwe were on the brink of a racial civil war),Barend Strydom, the Rwandan genocide,the Nazis’ reign of terror, unleashing a dev-astating world war, to name a few.

That is why we must all warn that thesepeople are playing with fire.

Selective quotation from the Bible tostrengthen their cause is a vindictive meth-od of evildoers.

The death penalty is a violent act. TheGodof the Bible never intended us to resort toviolent acts;HeHimselfwill dealwithperpe-trators.

Adams does not know the difference be-tween restorative justice and retributivejustice; the death penalty can only operatein an environment of fear, violence, hatred,vengeance and unforgiveness.

Theviolence of the few feeds on the silenceof the many.

When goodmen remain silent, evil cannotbe overcome.

Our countryhas taken themorally correctdecision as we can see every day how vio-lence consumes death penalty countries.KOERT MEYER, WELGELEGEN

Winter does indeed comewith doom, gloom and a bitterlycold caress.However, winter in the Mother City does have a spar-

kling quality.See, this season is also known as the secret season.There is a deluge of specials offered on socialmedia and

print advertising – getaways here, spa retreats there, din-ner specials here and there.That is if you have the money, of course.Granted, the county is labouring through a recession

but if you train your eye correctly, you’d spot that allthese luxuries (let’s be honest here, please) are going fora song.No, it is not important to spendmoney likemadon these

indulgences.What is important is the timewe spend pull-ing ourselves towards ourselves.Winter comes with so few sunny days.Yes, it’s best to do as much laundry on those days as

possible.That’s common sense.It also makes sense to step out in our fair city and soak

up as much as we can.What’s so terribly wrong in ambling up and down St

George’s Mall and having a spot of lunch?What is so reprehensible about touring Long Street on

a sunny Saturday?One never knows the gems to be found – and had.Again, that is if you have the means.Every day we face grim choices in our professional and

personal lives. And often we find ourselves on the edgeof reason, the pressure cooker going “Pffft! Pfft! Pfft!”Take a few steps back. Go out and enjoy the sunshine,

fresh air... those issues will still be there when you getback. Promise.During winter the elements are harsh, unforgiving and

unyielding. Don’t you be.Be kind to yourself.You owe it to yourself.

Mocké to tackle Berg MarathonAnother Far South local has come into

contention as a potential Berg RiverCanoe Marathon champion after con-

firming his entry for the race.Internationally renowned surfski talent

Jasper Mocké, of Fish Hoek Surf Lifesavingand Peninsula Canoe clubs, confirmed hisparticipation less than a week after fellowPeninsula stalwart and former Berg winnerGraeme Solomon indicated his participa-tion pending conditions.Mocké provedhimself a serious contender

when he recently won the Swartland CanoeMarathon against a field which includedmost of the major Berg title contenders.However, the vastly experienced star is

cautious in predicting his chances of becom-ing the first paddler in modern times toclinch victory in his debut Berg outing.“To go in expecting to win the Berg the

first time I race it, would be too far,” he says.“If I can be on the podium at the end of

the four days, I’ll be very happy. Having saidthat though, I always line-up at a race withmy eye on winning and I will definitely giveit my all.“If you have the chance to be up there in

the top three during the race, then you’re al-most certainly going to have the chance ofwinning it too.”The star’s prolonged delay in making his

maiden Berg appearance came about fromhispacked surfski calendarandrecent inter-national travels.He is looking forward to finally making

his debut.

The ocean paddling star’s presence at in-ternational surfski events almost year-round has become accepted as the norm bymany in the paddling fraternity, but a recentdabbling in flat-water marathons – which

yielded a K2 bronze medal at the 2012 CanoeMarathon World Championships in Rome –marked the beginning of a broadening of theFish Hoek ace’s horizons.Mocké continued to cast his paddling dis-

ciplinenet evenwiderat thebeginningof theyear, when he and fellow international pad-dling sensation Hank McGregor powered toa memorable second place finish in the 2014Dusi Canoe Marathon.On the back of his recent Swartland victo-

ry, Mocké makes no secrets of his desire todo well in this year’s 240km, four-day longrace from Paarl to Velddrif.While believing his regular winter dis-

tance trainingmatcheshisBerg preparationneeds, the 29-year-old’s inexperience on theBerg River is an aspect he will have to care-fully factor into his race tactics if he is tomake his podium aspirations a reality.“I haven’t had to change my training

much at all. I’ve always looked to get mymileage up at this time of the year, ahead ofa really busy surfski schedule in the secondhalf of the year, so I’ve pretty much been do-ing the same type of training as I would needin preparing for Berg,” Mocké says.“I won’t try to be a hero during Berg

though. I’ll be very content just tucking inbehind some of the other guys, followingthem down and then seeing how things gofrom there.”Mocké will also hope to bring his surfski

formto river racing, afterwinning the singleand double South African Surfski titles atthe weekend.The Berg River Canoe Marathon starts in

Paarl on Wednesday 16 July and ends atVelddrif on Saturday 19 July.V For further details on the Berg River Canoe Marathonvisit www.berg.org.za.

Home run for Athlone A’s duoLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town’s two brightest base-ball talents are set to test them-selves against the world’s bestwhen they represent South Africaat the 15 and under Baseball WorldCup next month.Bridgetown’s Lance Gordon and

Silvertown’s Keino Davids werecalled up to the national team afterimpressing for Western Province.The two are hard at work, trainingwith the other Cape-based nationalteam members.Although the duo admits SA is

not a big baseball nation, they willbe heading to the World Cup aim-ing to cause upsets.“Everyone is going to underesti-

mate us, sowhenwe arrive inMex-ico we can show them South Afri-cans can play the game,” Davids says.“We work hard and will always try to do

our best.”Gordon and Davids have beenmembers of

Athlone Athletics Baseball Club for morethan seven years.Both were immediately hooked on the

sport after their first time on the diamondand neither has looked back since.

BelgraviaHigh School pupil Davids repre-sented WP both last and this year, whileGroote Schuur High’s Gordon has been inthe WP side every year since 2009, except in2012.Gordon, first choice catcher at A’s, be-

lieves it was his batting that resulted in hisnational call up.“I’m quite versatile, so I can play any-

where the coach wants me to, while still do-ing well,” he says.“I also hit with power and bring lots of

spirit to the team.”He further attributes his balling ability is

a result of hard work, not only the talent heinherited from his father.During the baseball season Davids and

Gordon train twice a week, for 90 minutes,and have been doing so with the nationalside as well.Training is set to step-up in intensity in

the coming days,with two to three-hour longnational team training sessions each dayduring the school holidays.While Davids and Gordon will be giving

their all at training, they will each also needto raise R20 000 to fund the trip.Gordonwill host a fundraisingpartyat the

Athlone A’s clubhouse on Saturday 28 Juneand Davids will also host one in the near fu-ture (date to be confirmed).The International Baseball Fedaration

15U World Cup will take place from Thurs-day 31 July to Sunday 10August in theMexi-can towns of Mazatlán and Culiacan.V To purchase tickets or assist the players to partici-pate in the World Cup, phone Gordon’s father on084 605 4500 or Davids’ grandmother on079 756 5057.

Bay braces for Hammies onslaughtLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

False BayRFChave surged into CommunityCup contention after racking up their sev-enth win of the season on Saturday.The Bay are third on the Super League A

table, behind second-placed UCT and first-placed Hamiltons, who will rival the Con-stantia side in their hunt to finish as thehighest placed non-university club and earna place in the Community Cup.But despite their results and healthy posi-

tion on the table, Bay head coach Jono vander Walt says its too early to start thinkingabout the Community Cup.“We are on four-week break from play.We

will take twoweeks off training and two pre-paring for the game against Hamiltons,” hesays.“The match will be like a test match for

us. If we can beat Hammies, maybe we willstart thinking about the Community Cup.But the coaches are not talking about thatyet. We still have five games to play and twoare against UCT and Hammies.”False Bay spent last season in Super

League B and the break from the top flightseems to have had a positive effect on theclub.Van der Walt’s charges cruised to heavy

victories against several mid-table teams intheir nine matches, including a 41-10 winagainst Helderberg last Saturday.“We have done well this season because of

continuity in playing and coaching staff,”Van der Walt says.“Last year we knew fairly early on that

Kevin Musikanth (Van der Walt’s predeces-sor) was offered the UCT coaching position,so the assistants took over the reins then.The last four or five fixtures were under thesame coaching staff.”He attributes their success to the players’

dedication.

“Our team has trained very hard on andoff the field. A lot of our success has to dowith our fitness and conditioning, as well aswillingness and buy-in from the playerswhowant to play and do well.”Bay resume their campaign with a clash

against Hamiltons on Saturday 19 July, fol-lowed by matches against NNK, UWC, UCTand Bellville.The first and fourth fixtures will undoubt-

edly be the toughest for Van der Walt’s side.Both sides have played eight games, with

Hamiltons undefeated and UCT having lostjust once - against Maties.However, False Bay have the necessary

form and motivation to pull off victories inboth matches.

Vikings, Catscrowned champsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The Montana Vikings Basketball Clubsurged to victory in the inauguralCape Basketball Championship on

Sunday.Vikings, a juggernaut in Cape basket-

ball, lost just one game throughout thetournament to claim the trophy and R8000in cash.The Championship started at the Cape

Peninsula University of Technology(CPUT) Cape Town campus with poolmatches on Saturday.Vikingswere drawn inPool B alongwith

CPUT Cats and CPUT Alumni, while PoolA comprised Constantia-based HurricanesBasketball Club, the University of CapeTown (UCT)and theUniversity of theWest-ern Cape (UWC).Vikings got their title charge going with

a narrow 67-63 win over Cats before losing54-51 to Alumni to finish second in theirgroup, while Cats placed first.In Group A Hurricanes beat UWC 64-60

and UCT 64-38 to finish on top, while UWCfinished second after beating UCT 66-48 intheir other game.But the scores and results from thegroup

stages proved a poor reflection of the teams

involved, as both the group winners wereeliminated in the semi-finals.Hurricanes lost 72-50 to Vikings, while

Cats were beaten 84-66 by UWC. Cats wenton to beat Hurricanes 77-70 in the third-place play-off to claim the bronze medal.AndVikings tookall the spoils after beat-

ing UWC 80-75 in the final.The final of thewomen’s tournament fin-

ished with the CPUT Cats first and secondteams battling it out for superiority.Both teams went into the final undefeat-

ed, finishing at the summit of their respec-tive groups.TheCats second team toppedPoolAafter

defeating UCT 54-30 and Lethal Ladies 57-37, while Lethal Ladies were second afterbeating UCT 60-22.The Cats first team beat UWC 62-49 and

Vikings 43-38, and Vikings finished secondin the group after beating UWC 65-41 intheir other match.The first team dominated their semi-fi-

nal fixture against Lethal Ladies, winning68-38, while the second side scraped to a 49-45 win over Vikings. The Vikings women’steam could not emulate their men’s teamby taking home a medal and lost 64-42 toLethal Ladies in the third-place play-off.In the end, the CPUT first team were too

strong and beat the second team 62-44 totake home the R8000 in cash and the tro-phy.The annual tournament was hosted by

Platinum Media Group.
