Two police vehicles, carrying around 10 uniformed officers, pulled up in Acre Road on Wednes- day. The officers, with guns drawn, stormed into two homes in search of drugs. Tik and dagga was found in one of the houses. Three residents were arrested for drug possession. Another two were arrested for ri- otous behaviour, but were released on the same day with fines of R500 each. During the search, Desnay Abra- hams alleges she was assaulted by aggressive police officers during the operation. But Kensington police say there are no records of charges against the officers. No contraband was found in her house, which was searched at the same time as that of a neighbour- ing property. Wrapping her arms around her belly, Abrahams says: “They came in and hit me in the face, and then they pushed my stomach.” She says she was standing at the back door of her house when a po- lice officer told her to move away from it. Another then apparently told her not to move, or she would be arrested. When she hesitated, the first of- ficer smacked her in the face, she alleges. Abrahams says: “My family started objecting to the way I was being treated, then the officer pushed me in the stomach.” Abrahams is eight months preg- nant. She went to the Kensington Po- lice Station to report the assault, but says she was “turned away without being allowed to lay charg- es”. While police were in Abrahams’ home, other officers raided neigh- bour Susan Andrews’ house. Andrews, who is related to one of the men taken into custody on charges of possession of drugs, says an assault also took place on her property. She says the officers assaulted the suspect before the arrest. “They hit his arm with a steel chair and it broke his wrist. He was at Somerset Hospital to get it set,” Andrews says. She also claims police damaged one of her cupboards during the search. “They are meant to be there to protect us, but instead they come into our homes and swear at us,” Andrews says. However, Kensington police spokesperson Warrant Officer Ntombi Nqunqeka says she is not aware of any complaints against of- ficers involved in the operation. “There were no damages to prop- erty, no assaults and no injuries to persons,” she counters. When approached for comment, station commander Lieutenant Colonel Bernice Joseph referred the enquiry to Nqunqeka, who reit- erated that police records reflect no cases of assault or malicious damage to property. “The police cannot comment on the allegations. The station com- mander is not available for com- ment,” Nqunqeka added. The warrant to search one of the Acre Road houses was issued after “information was received from a reliable source” that there were drugs on the premises, Nqunqeka says. Residents claim the allegations of physical violence are nothing new, as “rough” police officers of- ten raid the area. “They’ve raided three or four times this year. Look how rude they are,” a resident said, pointing as an officer searched a young man walking down the street. Outraged residents were left standing on the pavement as they listened to police officers yelling. Banging noises coming from in- side the house could clearly be heard during both raids. Some infants remained cradled against their parents as the police searched their homes. Hanif Loonat, the chairperson of the pro- vincial Community Po- licing Forum, says the amount of force needed by police officers can vary from ar- ea to area, and with it the number of complaints received. “Policing is not easy in the West- ern Cape. While we discourage as- saults on innocents, police do need to be forceful in certain areas, espe- cially where gangsterism (is rife).” He adds heavy-handedness by the police is often a response to the community’s attitude.

EVERY weekday, thousands of pupils longfor 10:30when they are handed a plate of food.For some, their next meal will be 24 hours

later, at the same time the next day.Malnutrition and a lack of energy spell a

dark future for children filled with potential.Today marks World Hunger Day and as

food insecurity increases, so more childrenend up going to school without a meal.Three out of four children go to school hun-

gry every day.The Peninsula School Feeding Association

works tirelessly to help feed these needy pu-pils.

The organisation feeds two meals toabout 330 000 children every school day.A total of 660 000 meals are served daily

in the province.The association receives a subsidy from

the Department of Education to feed 90% ofthat total, while the remaining 10% re-quires the group to raise R12m to avoid be-ing forced to decrease the number of chil-dren being fed.However, the government subsidywill be

terminated next month.Fundraising coordinator Kate Hamilton

says children at 111 schools across the prov-ince benefit from the programme.With the slash in government aid, the as-

sociationhasbeen forced to cut downon thenumber of children they feed.“We will now only be able to feed 22 000

children. This is the same number of chil-dren that we have been feeding for the last55 years,” Hamilton explains.It costs only R2 to feed a child two cooked

meals a day.People are being encouraged to adopt a

child for the year for only R395.As the association’s biggest fundraising

event looms, the public is being called onto participate.Now in its 44th year, Blisters for Bread

– usually held on the last Sunday in August– is one of Cape Town’s calendar events.The race last year attracted a record

number of more than 15 800 walkers, com-ing out in support of the association andfeeding hungry children.All funds raised are directed to the school

feeding programme so thatmore pupils canbe nourished. This year’s race will be heldon Sunday, 25 August.

Entry is R42, which will help feed 21 chil-dren for a day, Hamilton adds.

THEcold andwetwinter season is fast ap-proaching, and the demand for electricityis on the incline while Eskom is runningemergency power stations in the hopes ofbalancing the national supply and de-mand of electricity.This winter, Eskom will continue with

maintenance, so electricity supplywill beconstrained from 17:00 until 21:00.While homes across the country de-

mand 17%electricity, the usage increasesto 35%during this peak period as familiesarrive home, cook, switch on lights andperform other tasks.Althoughnecessary, these tasks puts se-

vere pressure on the power supply.There areways to aid the possible usage

relief.Switch off your geyser during this four-

hour period, do not use your pool pumpand avoid using electrical heaters; ratheruse a fan heater.

Switch off lights in unoccupied rooms,seal gaps around windows, draught-proofwall cavities throughout your home,warm your bed with an electric blanketfor one hour, use a hotwater bottle to keepyour bed warm and don’t use underfloorheating. Furthermore, you can switch offappliances at the power point when

you’ve finished using them, use slowcookers to prepare stews and oxtail as mi-crowaves are best for small-volume win-ter meals, boil only enough water for thenumber of cups of hot drinks you are pre-paring and shower instead of taking abath. Keep it hot and short.For more tips visit www.eskom.co.za.

QUESTIONS surround the finalresting place of a woman who diedover a decade ago after all traces ofher burial site was replaced by an-other casket and grave marker.A row of newly dug graves in the

Maitland Cemetery left EleanorCane staring in horror at the familyplot where her mother was buried.After finding her mother’s grave

replaced by that of a stranger, Canehas been left with nothing but tearsand questions.She visited her mother’s grave at

theMaitlandCemetery onMothers’Day, hoping to place flowers on thereminder of thewomanwho loving-ly raised her, only to find everytrace of the grave, including thetombstone, gone and replaced by anew one.“Iwas in shock. I almostwent cra-

zy when I saw it,” Cane says, hereyes still fillingwith tearswhen shespeaks about her experience. “Sheraised me. I used to spend time sit-ting by the grave here at the ceme-tery, but now there’s nothing left.”No sign of the grave remains as

the tombstone, cement frame andtiling on the grave has been re-moved.It had been there for 15 years.“This experience was very emo-

tional. There is nothing to identifythe grave, even though it is a familyplot.”Cane visits the grave four or five

times a year and says her mother’sfinal resting place had been intact

during her visit at the beginning ofthe year.Alderman Belinda Walker, the

Mayoral Committee member forCommunity Services, says family isconsulted before any changes aremade to the graves.“The only time that thememorial

workwould be removed iswhen thefamily, confirmed with signed affi-davits, requests that a secondburialtake place in the plot. This is subjectto the provision of the affidavits andon confirmation that there is suffi-cient depth to cater for an addition-al coffin. The family is then respon-sible for the removal of thememori-al work and the replacement

thereof after the second burial hastaken place.”Walker adds that any legal exhu-

mation goes through an extensiveprocess and is approved by the pro-vincial health department andmon-itored by City Health officials.However, Cane says she was not

consulted before the burial tookplace on her mother’s grave and re-ceived no notifications or docu-ments from the City.Council will launch an investiga-

tion once the family has providedCity Parks with the details, Walkersays. Until the investigation, shesaid she could not comment specifi-cally on Cane’s case.

SOUTH AFRICAN youths are not tooconcerned about voting, while the oldergenerations are adamant to make theirmark at the polls.This is according to an analysis by the

Independent Electoral Commission andStatistics South Africa into the distribu-tion of about 31.4m registered votersacross the country.With the eye on next year’s general

election, it was found that only 10% ofyouths aged 18 to 19 are registered tovote.The percentage is even lower in the

Western Cape (4%) and Gauteng (5%).In the age category 20 to 29, 52% of the

possible voters are registered.The analysis was compiled from infor-

mation from Census 2011 and the latestIEC registered voters list.The trend corresponds with the less

than 240 000 out of 2.1m South Africansaged 18 and19whoregistered for the 2011municipal elections.In the run up to the 2011 elections, the

IEC unsuccessfully tried to get moreyouths to register to vote.In the age category for those aged 30

and older, the percentage of registeredvoters soars, while between 85% and100%ofpeople agedolder than80 are reg-istered voters.In fact, there are more registered vot-

ers in this category (80 years and older)on the IEC list, than what was indicatedin the 2011 census.The Eastern Cape and Free State

(80.1%) has the highest percentage ofregistered voters, while the WesternCape (70.4%), Mpumalanga (70.3%) andGauteng (69.5%) are the provinces withthe lowest percentage of registered vot-ers.The national average is 73.8%.The IEC indicated its goal to see at

least 80% of the population registered.The analysis, which indicates the reg-

istration rate of each ward in the 234 lo-cal municipalities among others, can befound on the IEC website at www.elec-tions.org.gov.

NOMAVANOMAVA MNUKWAMNUKWA says allowing criminals to beout on parole puts the community at risk. “Weare not safe when they come out. I don’t trustthem and even if they just rob someone, peopleshould be (put in jail) and stay there.”

BEBEVERLEY RVERLEY RUTHVENUTHVEN says the system doesn’t re-ally make a difference. “Your life is always at risk– whether criminals are outside or behind bars.Criminals all have contacts inside and outside ofjail, so parole doesn’t make you feel any safer.”

SHEPSHEPARDARD NYNYAMANGODOAMANGODO says it is hard to judgewhether or not the parole system is a benefit. “Itis a good thing if innocent people get parole. Butnot if everybody thinks it is okay to commit acrime because they will get parole.”

TRACYTRACY MAMATTHEWSTTHEWS says people who have beenconvicted should stay in prison until they have fin-ished their sentence. “There is no point in thembeing given parole because they will continuecommitting crimes when they are freed.”

NIGELNIGEL MEASMEASURESURES says the public needs to knowif the parole is given to decrease the number ofprisoners in jails or if the person has reallychanged. “Many people who get parole often goback to jail a short time after being released.”

MICHELE ZMICHELE ZAMANJAMANJAHAH believes parole is waste oftime because people feel unsafe once a criminalis released back into society. “The best solutionis that criminals should serve their full sentence.They need to be punished for what they did.”

GLENGLEN HANSHANS believes people can turn their livesaround. “I’m an ex-gangster myself. People shouldbe given second chances in life because peoplemake mistakes, but must also be given a chanceto make up for those mistakes.”

DONATING your humble 5c coin will goa long way towards making a cancer ed-ucation campaign possible.

Offered by Can-Sir, together with Peo-ple Living With Cancer’s Cancer Bud-dies, the 5c for Cancer Balls and HootersCancer Education Campaign will be runfrom July to August.

Can-Sir founder and CEO Ismail-IanFife says the education campaign issanctioned by the provincial health de-partment.

The aim is to visit 30 high schools andtertiary institutions in the Cape Penin-sula, West Coast and Boland at whichpresentations and demonstrations willbe held to heighten awareness of pre-ventable cancers such as testicular, cer-vical and breast cancer.

A further aim is to encourage early de-tection and treatment of the diseaseamong teenagers and young adults.

Can-Sir, a not-for-profit organisation,says in a statement that cancer has thesecond highest mortality rate in theworld and in South Africa.

“Testicular cancer in young boys andmen, and breast cancer in young girlsand women is steadily increasing,which really is alarming. But the suc-cesses of early detection campaigns arepreventing these diseases from becom-ing out of control. It is keeping the num-bers down and the cure rates of cancerincrease due to early onset of treat-ment.”

Instead of discarding those 5c coinswhich clog up your wallet, donatingthem to this project will go towards as-sisting to provide cancer education onprevention campaigns; assisting inbreaking down cancer stigma; and ena-bling Can-Sir to provide much-neededsupport services to cancer patients andtheir families through the Cancer Bud-dies project and support groups acrossthe country.

“Can-Sir is also actively involved incancer advocacy initiatives which lob-bies for more equity concerning cancertreatment and services to previouslydisadvantaged groups in our communi-ties.”

While the focus will be on learning in-stitutions within the poorer and disad-vantaged communities, it will not belimited to those communities, Fife says.

To make this a fun event, he says, allcommunities, students, parents, teach-ers and staff are asked to collect 5c coinsand hand them to Can-Sir representa-tives on the day of a visit. Communitiesare also invited to contact Can-Sir to col-lect the coins.

Fife says: “There is no cost to yourschool. All we ask is for the collectionof the coins. The school which raises themost 5c coins will receive a donationfrom us to the value R2000.”V For more information about Can­Sir email Fifeat can­[email protected] or visit www.can­sir.co.za.

Bo­Kaap girlscan now shootfor the StarsLIAM MOSES

NETBALL is back in Bo-Kaap after a de-velopment team was founded by tworesidents.

Shooting Stars Netball Club, founded byZanap Salie and Mishka Samie in January,aims to provide young netballers a construc-tive pastime.However, the club has since grown to in-

clude two adult teams and has a growingmembership of over 50 people between theages of seven and 25.Samie says they hope to develop the club

members’ skills to participate in leaguematches in the future and eventuallyprogress up the ranks.“There is a plan to get them into an organ-

ised league, but we first need to get theirskills up to scratch. The problem we face isgetting new players every week, as the wordis spreading,” she says.“We also want to give each child a chance

to play. To get us to a league level, we needto train our girls first. We are taking it easyand letting them gain experience throughfriendlies.”Thus far Stars have played and hosted two

friendlies, against Whales and BluebirdsfromManenberg, at the Bryant Street Park.Samie adds the club received an “over-

whelming response from the community”and encouraged Bo-Kaap residents and theplayers’ families to support the team.Both Samie and Salie are residents of the

area and played netball at high school. Saliesays the sport was last played in Bo-Kaapmore than 10 years ago.“I play action netball twice a week and I

realised that there is nothing for the girls ofBo-Kaap,” she says.“I thought I should do something for the

community and get the girls involved.”Samie adds, apart from providing the

players with entertainment and exercise,they also teach themembers to relate to peo-ple from different backgrounds and socio-economic situations.But the project will not end there and the

pair hope improve the lives of club mem-bers.“In the older groups there are unemployed

mothers, who we want to empower withskills,” says Samie.“We want to teach them basic work skills

to encourage them and build their confi-dence to go out and get jobs.”ShootingStars is also searching for a spon-

sor. Anyone interested in assisting with thepurchasing of uniforms and tracksuits, aswell as transport costs can phone Samie on078 482 3775 or Salie on 071 977 2589.

Ikey Tigers claw their way backLIAM MOSES

A SECOND half revival saw UCT comefrom behind to beat Hamiltons in abruising encounter in Green Point on

Saturday.Hammies went into half-time leading 12-8,

after two tries and a conversion, and a tryand penalty from UCT.But after cutting down their errors, up-

ping their intensity and lowering their pen-alty count, UCT outscored the hosts by 11points to three in the second half to win thegame 19-15.Ikeys assistant coach and former USA in-

ternational JJ Gagiano says there were“some stern words” in his half-time teamtalk.“We felt our intensity wasn’t where we

needed for this level and we weren’t playing

smart. We weren’t attacking the space andtrying to kick to space,” he says.“We were just making silly mistakes and

I told the guys we should try to fix that andstart playing rugby. In the first half Hamil-tons came at us and, in the second half, Iwanted us to go at them. The guys did it fan-tastically.”Hammies opened the scoring in the 10th

minute, when formerWestern Province cen-tre Morgan Newman crossed over with apick-and-go. FlyhalfWilco deWetmissed theconversion and his UCT counterpart RossJones-Davies narrowed the deficit with apenalty just five minutes later.The home side stretched their lead in the

25th minute, when Nicholas Pearsonstepped inside a tackle in the 22 to touch-down and De Wet added the extras.UCT again hit back when right wing Rich-

ard Stewart collected a pin-point cross-fieldkick from Jones-Davies – despite the contestof Hamiltons’ Dugald Robertson – andcrossed over.UCT continued their fight-back in the sec-

ond half and scored again, just five minutesin,when front-rankerDigbyWebb forcedhisway over.Jones-Davies missed the conversion and

De Wet put his side back in the lead with apenalty in the eighthminute.But Jones-Dav-ies made up for the miss, holding his nerveto goal two penalties in the 29th and 34thminutes to hand his side the victory.Gagiano feels his side should not have had

to fight-back to win the game.“The trieswe concededwere soft, but cred-

it toHamiltons for creating the space and op-portunities,” he says.“In the second half we managed to limit

those opportunities and get ahead on thescoreboard.“The guys are starting make decisions for

themselves and taking responsibility, and itseems to be working.”The victory has seen UCT cement second

place on the table, three points behind lead-ers and defending champions Maties and 10points ahead of last year’s runners up Dur-banville-Bellville.Maties and UCT, along with Victorians,

will now break until the final Saturday inJuly.V In other results from Super League A, SK Walmersbeat Bellville RFC 23­18, while in Super League B FalseBay RFC suffered their first defeat of the season, losing23­31 to UWC.
