This comes after the death of a 15-year-old boy on Saturday 23 February. Three suspects have been arrested and are believed to be part of the Wonder Kids gang. They are facing charges of murder and at- tempted murder. No one was injured in another shoot-out in Acre Road. And in Glider Crescent, two known gang members were pursued by police last month, resulting in two shots being fired. Both men were arrested. Unlicensed firearms were found in their possession. At the old Wingfield Military Base, resi- dents claim to have heard a number of shots being fired. Residents, meanwhile, have marched in protest at the shootings, including the one in which the teenager was fatally wounded in the chest. He died on the scene. Another man said a bullet ricocheted off his sunglasses after he disembarked from a taxi. And an Albacore Street resident, who chose to remain anonymous for safety rea- sons, says the gang violence has spiralled out of control and Factreton residents are “genuinely fearing for their lives”. She says she has witnessed a recent shoot- ing incident and points fingers at the local gangs who, she says, are in a “turf war”. “These are senseless killings and that teenagers’ death shook the neighbourhood. That was a typical example of being at the wrong place at the wrong time,” she says. However, the resident, who was part of many public marches in the past, believes the shootings will not stop unless “higher powers” intervene. She suggested more blitz operations by po- lice, projects by the Department of Commu- nity Safety and interventions by the army to tackle the problems in Factreton. “Innocent people’s lives are at stake here and I don’t think anybody but these resi- dents realise the true dangers we face daily.” Acre Road resident Ebrahim Laategan fears the escalating gang violence. He had also passed through Albacore Street when the 15-year-old was shot and has been traumatised by the incident. “I just turned the corner and heard gun- shots going off. A few minutes earlier, some- body stopped me and wanted to talk, but I told them I was in a hurry,” he says. “Imagine I stayed behind to talk. It could have been me that was shot and I would not be sitting here today.” Laategan does not only fear for his own life, but says he struggles to focus at work during the day as he finds himself phoning home about 12 times a day. “I can’t help thinking that if my children should be on their way home, some mindless gangster might decide to open fire. They could get caught in the crossfire,” he says. Community leader Jimmy Xalipi shares these concerns, but says public marches may not be the answer. He suggests residents call a public meet- ing with the City of Cape Town and Depart- ment of Community Safety as “the best way to paint this picture is to get the story straight from the people affected”. Lorenzo Sadan, the Kensington Communi- ty Police Forum spokesperson, backs the public but worries it will drain strained po- lice resources at the Kensington Police Sta- tion. However, he commends the efforts of the police. Sadan explains that many of the residents are also believed to be intimidated by gangs, resulting in less cases being reported. This creates another obstacle for police and the CPF, as it creates more difficulty in trying to establish how much of a problem the shooting is. “We cannot say we have got the situation under control,” Sadan says. Kensington police spokesperson Warrant Officer Ntombi Nqunqeka confirms three suspects have been arrested for the latest shooting incident. She says all three are believed to be part of the Wonder Kids gang and are facing charges of murder and attempted murder. ‘Turf war’ bloodshed Sheena Alexander brought Prestwich Street to a standstill as the annual Pride Street Fair saw the city’s gay community making their way through the CBD on Saturday. Despite Christians protesting on the side of the road, participants waved their multi-coloured flags as they marched on to Napier Street where a section of the business district was cordoned off for a party which carried on late into the night.

UNHEALTHY habits are going to hit youhard, as the so-called sin taxes increaseagain.
Beer will costs 7c more for a can, a bottleof wine 15cmore and a 750ml bottle of spiritswill cost R3.60 more from 1 April. Motoristswill pay 23c more for a litre for petrol. For-getting your shopping bag at home will costyou 6c more for each plastic bag you buy.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-
gaarn and Luzuko Zini took to the streets tofind out what people had to say.

TTHERESA THERESA TSE:SE: “This is going to upset mostpeople. People in this country love to socialise and drink. It will affect them because itmeans they will have to pay more to drink.”
PHOTOS: TARRENLEE HABELGAARN AND LUZUKO ZINI
WWARDARDAH VAH VANAN DER SDER SCHYFF:CHYFF: “The sin taxdoes not apply to me; I don’t drink. Increasing it will hopefully decrease the number ofpeople who drink. With the price of plasticbags increasing, more people will recycle.”
HERMAN VHERMAN VANAN WYK:WYK: “With everything increasing, food prices will go up and the majority of people will be affected because theywon’t be able to afford what they need tosurvive.”
SHAMIELSHAMIEL ALBERALBERTYN:TYN: “Businesses and people living below the breadline will be affected the most by these increases. The government needs to make sure that taxpayers’money is used to improve the lives of poorpeople.”
MARMARCEL YCEL YSLIE:SLIE: He has mixed feelings about sintaxes and other increases and says while havingthe price of plastic bags increased is a good thing,fuel increases are always a setback. “If plasticbags cost more, less people will buy and that willhopefully reduce litter.”
WWAAYDONYDON WEBER:WEBER: He says the continuous increases are “becoming ridiculous” and soon people willnot be able to afford even the basic necessities.“Petrol increases really affect me because I driveto work every day. I need my car for the work Ido, so I can’t travel by public transport.”
MARELIZEMARELIZE KROKROTIN:TIN: She says although fuel increases are always difficult to swallow, she welcomes the increase in sin taxes. “There are manyof my friends who are trying to quit because ofthe increases which I think not only helps them,but saves money and is good for their health.”

PPutut thosethose crecreativeative juicjuices to wes to workorkTHENEW9mMyCiTi buses are now rollingthrough Walmer Estate and Salt River.Vehicle operators were finally handed
their licences by the Provincial RegulatingEntity on Saturday.By 14:00 on the same day, buses were up
and running through the area, unveilingthe MyCiTi service.Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee
member forTransport, Roads andStormwa-ter, says: “It was a very exciting morningfor theMyCiTi project teamaswehavebeenwaiting for these permits since last year. Ihave to admit to being a bit emotional whenthose new 9m buses started rolling throughDistrict Six and Woodstock.”The service will travel to the Salt River
rail station, past the Salt River Circle, alongRoodebloem Road, through Zonnebloemand past the Cape Peninsula University ofTechnology. It will then pass the Castle, theGrandParade and the central rail station enroute to the Civic Centre station, where itwill link upwith the existingMyCiTi routesbefore returning on the same route to theSalt River train station. Rail connectionsfrom across the city converge at the SaltRiver station,whichmeans that theMyCiTiconnection services more rail passengersfrom across Cape Town.A trip on residential routes, such as those
through Salt River, Walmer Estate and
Woodstock, costs R5.30, and a trip on themain route between Civic Centre stationand Table View costs R10.60. The shorter,R5.30 trips are free when travelled in con-junction with the main route.The service operates every 20 minutes in
peak travel periods and every 30minutes inoff-peak periods.Passengers need to get a MyConnect card
forR23 to travel on the service. In the launchphase of the service, MyCiTi staff will be onthe buses sellingMyConnect cards that willgive passengers a free trip to the Civic Cen-tre stationwhere they can loadmoremoneyon their card for further travel on theMyCi-Ti service.The service will see the first use of MyCi-
Ti’s new fleet of smaller buses, suited tomixed traffic and narrow roads, such as intheWoodstock andDistrict Six areas. Theselow-floor buses ensure easy access for all,including the elderly, wheelchair users andthose with luggage and prams. They accom-modate 25 passengers seated, 25 standingand include space for wheelchairs and bicy-cles.Anyone with questions about the service

TAURIQ HASSEN
THE BUSY Albert Road in Wood-stock could soon be transformed in-to a playground for the community,as part of the famous Open Streetsinitiative.Open Streets is a citizen-driven
project, which will comprise a sec-tion of the road being closed to traf-fic and opened to rollerblading,skateboarding, cycling, fun andgames, stalls and much more.The exciting initiative has also
been carried out in Columbia, allover the US and more recently inGrassy Park.According to Open Streets Cape
Town (OSCT), which was foundedby a group of volunteers last year,the aim of the initiative is to createamore “equitable, integrated, saferand vibrant Cape Town”.Organiser Marcela Guerrero Ca-
sas saysOpenStreets looks to trans-form Albert Road into a temporarycar-free area for the public to use.“Open Streets has been success-
fully implemented around theworld and OSCT draws on decadesof international and local experi-ence in redesigning and re-workingstreets,” she says.The initiative has been met with
great excitement by residents, whoare now waiting patiently for theCity of Cape Town to give the nod.Riedewaan Adams from Salt Riv-
er feels that Albert Road should notbe the only destinationproposed forthis “great idea”.He suggested that areas such as
Salt River Road, Durham Avenue,Victoria Road and Observatory’sLower Main Road should all be list-ed.“This would definitely be some-
thing the community would lookforward to, because there are no re-al big festivals or carnivals thathappen in these areas annually,”Adams says.“This is a fantastic idea and they
have their eye on a perfect loca-tion.”Brian and Thelma Jacobs from
Woodstock find the idea to be “ex-citing and fun”.The couple has four children and
would relish the opportunity tobrowse some stalls and watch theirchildren cycling in one of the areasbusiest roads.“I don’t know much about this
project, but it certainly sounds ex-citing. I’m sure lots of people willfeel the same way,” Brian says.Thelma believes that Open
Streets in Albert Road could pro-vide a perfect platform for some lo-
cals to create employment opportu-nities.“This area has so many people
looking forwork. If they are propos-ing something where the communi-ty takes charge, people should grabthe opportunity with both hands,”she says.People’s Post accompanied the
group on a walk through AlbertRoad last week to determine howexactly the area could be improvedfor the introduction of OpenStreets.Residents pointed out that side-
walks needed an upgrade, greeneryis required, travelling speeds mustbe changed, cycling lanes are re-quired and the general state of someof the buildings need some atten-tion.Chairperson for the Woodstock
Community Outreach Forum,Shamiel Abbass, is excited at theopportunity of hosting an event ofthis nature in Woodstock.However, he explains that al-
though they will be requesting theCity of Cape Town to partner upwith the forum, it would be madeclear that the Open Streets projectwill be purely based on community.“This is an event by the commu-
nity, for the community and we donot want to be pushed around andtold how to do things,” he says.“It’s fantastic idea and we are

AN OBSERVATORY bar has beenrefused permission by council toextend their operating hours dueto persistent noise complaints.
Stones in Lower Main Road ap-plied to extend their operatingtimes by two hours, but several ob-jections were received against theapplication.
Subcouncil chairperson BrianWatkyns confirms that the applica-tion has been denied and the own-ers of the bar will be given the op-portunity to appeal.
“We have discussed the matterin detail and it was decided that theapplication will be turned down be-cause there is a history of com-plaints against this establishment,mostly around noise,” he says.
According to Watkyns, councilhad declared that Stones operatedwithin an area that is predomi-nantly residential and with a bal-cony on the first floor, noise wouldtravel into the residential units di-rectly opposite Stones.
The Observatory Civic Associa-tion, Observatory Community Po-lice Subforum, residents and wardcouncillor all opposed the applica-tion to extend the hours from 02:00until 04:00.
“There are too many people thatare concerned around this placeand these concerns were the mainreasons behind the application be-ing turned down,” he says.
Deputy director for the WesternCape Liquor Authority, PhilipPrinsloo, confirms that council arewell within their rights to turndown the application.
According to Prinsloo, as of Fri-day 1 April, municipalities will beallowed to object and approve trad-ing hours and days.
“These issues (trading hours)impact the communities directly,which is why the municipalitiesare handed the power to make this
decision,” Prinsloo says.Although the new bylaw only
kicks in next month, Prinsloo con-firms that certain municipalities
have already undertaken the newbylaws as of 1 January.
“The liquor authority will nowonly look at the liquor licence as awhole, but trading times will be theresponsibility of the municipali-ties,” he says.
Observatory resident BeverleySmal, has been bothered by the ac-tivities at Stones for the last twoyears and claims she has had anumber of run-ins with drunk pa-trons leaving the bar.
She had lodged complaints withthe Law Enforcement, Metro Po-lice, Woodstock police, the wardcouncillor and local associations,but had no luck in silencing thebar. “I would never approve tohave their operating hours extend-ed. In fact, they should just shutdown Stones, because it does notseem as if they care about the sur-rounding community,” Small says.
Brian Davids also had “huge con-cerns” with Stones’ operatinghours and suggested that council“slash their hours in half”.
“This bar has been warned, in-spected and I think they werefined, but nothing has changed.People around here still have con-cerns with noise,” he says.
“This is a huge problem for ourarea and when owners wish to ex-tend their hours, it proves thatthey actually don’t care and willjust continue.”
Stones head office confirms thatthey have received the notificationinforming them that their applica-tion had been turned down.People’s Post approached Stones
for further comment on the matter,but they declined the opportunity.

AN INFORMAL trader in Salt River is pro-viding more than just fruit and vegetables tothe community.Residents have raised concerns around the
trader operating without permission on thecorner of Albert and Cecil roads, as well asleaving behind a trail of rubbish on a dailybasis.Chairperson for the Salt River Residents
Association, Wardah Rahim, explains thatconcerns were lodged with the associationwhich resulted in the trader being issuedwith a warning and fine.Anger flared when the trader was once
again spotted selling his goods without atrading permit and is believed to act very“casual” about trading illegally.“The residents are very upset about this,
because this man is not from the area and heis not providing employment opportunitiesto any of the locals,” Rahim says.She also pointed out that when the
“sneaky” trader closes shop for the day, box-es, empty packets, old fruit and vegetablesand other rubbish is left behind.“This man has received warnings and was
even told that his goods would be confiscat-ed,” Rahim says.“We were all shocked to see him back on
the streets and trading again.”People’s Post visited the area last week, but
there were no signs of the trader or the dirtleft behind.However, Rahim informed People’s Post
that the traderwas indeed still trading inSaltRiver, but he had started moving around thearea in fear of being caught on the same spot.Salt River resident Ismail Allie is a former
vendor and feels it is “unfair” that the traderis allowed to continue his business.
Alliewas closed down three years ago afterselling assorted nuts and dried fruits in Al-bert Road, Woodstock.“I could have also just ignored the law and
carried on with my business. I was told tostop, then threatened with a fine and eventu-ally I just went through the proper chan-nels,” he says.Today,Allie runs his registered stall on the
Grand Parade.He, too,wasupset that on topof trading ille-
gally, the trader leaves behindheaps ofwasteexpecting others to clean up.“Give him a fine, ban him from trading in
the area and then confiscate all his goods.That is the only way he will learn and it willsend a stern message out to others who feelthey can do the same,” Allie says.Ward councillor Brett Herron confirms
that complaints were received from resi-dents about the “unauthorised trader” work-ing on the sidewalk.He confirms that concerns include the
amount of garbage left behind on the side-walk and street.Herron explains that Law Enforcement al-
ready fined the traderandafterbeingwarnedonce again, it was found that the trader con-tinued trading illegally, resulting in hisgoods being impounded. “Therewere severalmore complaints from residents that he con-tinued to trade and he ignored the warningsgiven to him by the City,” Herron says.The trader has been urged by the City to
visit the InformalTradingDepartment for as-sistance in finding an appropriate way andplace to trade.“The City supports the informal economy
andhasmade substantial provision for streettrading,” he says.People’s Post could not track down the trad-
er for comment.

IN THEIR new blue uniforms, hundredsof newconstables lastweek took the oathto serve and protect.A total of 628 constables will be placed
throughout the country after they fin-ished their two-year training course.The Philippi police academy held a
passing out parade of 628 trainees onTuesday.Lieutenant-General Arno Lamoer, the
provincial police commissioner, saysthis group is joining a proud organisa-tion.“As they begin their careers theymust
remember to respect the community andserve them to the best of their ability,”he says.“We want them to excel in this profes-
sion because we want police memberswith integrity.”LevonaArendse came fromOudtshoo-
rn towitness the parade and support herfriend who is one of new constables.“With more police members serving
the communities, I will be feeling muchsafer. I hope they will take whateverthey have been taught at the academyand make our areas safer,” she says.Samantha Blake, the head of manage-
ment communication at the academy,says citizens need to support the police.“We have trained these young men
andwomen so that they can be of benefitto the public. We need to work togetherto make our communities safer,” shesays.“They must always be humble and
treat everyone equally.”Lizel Boonzaaier from Paarl says the
police must do their work and the com-munity will support them.“Theymust know that the safety of the
people is in their hands. The communityalso needs toworkwith the police so thatwe fight crime together,” she says.Blake says anyone who wants to join
the force can visit their nearest policestation and fill out an application form.“We will keep in touch with them re-
garding what steps they will follow afterthey have applied,” she says.A drivers licence and a matric certifi-
cate is essential, Blake adds.Lamoer says there are 11 training
academies around the country and thePhilippi academy is one of the biggest.“This group is the first to come out of
the two year training course. Before, thetraining was just six months,” he says.“The course includes theory and prac-
tical training where they are taughtabout the different laws in this countryand how to conduct themselves as policeofficers. This is not a job but rather acalling andoneneeds determination anddedication to be part of this service.”

THERE is some lightat the end of the tun-nel for Rape Crisis,the NGO which sup-ports survivors ofrape.The provincial De-
partment of SocialDevelopment lastweek gave the NGOR1.3m.Last year,RapeCri-
sis faced an uncer-tain future – andnear closure – as a re-sult of a financial cri-sis.Rape Crisis direc-
tor Kathleen Dey ex-pressed gratitude atthe financial injec-tion. “We still have a financial crisis, butwe are positive.”Last year, the NGO could retain only one
of the 13 employees.“Those whom we had to let go remained
as volunteers. This funding will help to em-ploy them on short-term contracts,” shesays.Dey explains that running costs of more
than R7m a year helps to keep their doorsopen. “We not only call on the governmentand businesses, but also on society to assistus,” she says.Provincial minister of social develop-
ment, Albert Fritz, says the funds camefrom the 2013-2014 financial budget fromotherprogrammeswhere fundswere saved.“The funds are beingused for organisationsin dire need,” he saysThe department allocates R800m annual-
ly to at least 1 800 NGOs.Fritz says: “We will be taking a closer
look at the value organisations bring to thecommunity.”There is a challenge, he says, to establish
more organisations such asRapeCrisis andotherswhichassist abusedwomenandchil-dren in rural areas.

EACH age or season has its own characteristics. The1960s, for example, was the era of “make love, not war”.Fast forward to the present and we have the age of tech-nology.We press buttons and life happens.What, then, would future generations make of this era?
Instantpersonal gratificationcouldbe themarkof today’ssociety.People want things now. They want it their way. They
want it to suit themselves. To say this is selfish is tanta-mount to calling the Black Death a minor inconvenience.It wasn’t, and neither is narcissism.People bent on destruction will often take the path of
least resistance. This is why the vulnerable in society isoften victimised.And those structures which can least afford it become
easy pickings for vandals.Schools are broken into. Supplies are stolen and dam-
aged. Classrooms are vandalised in horrible ways. Crech-es and even places of worship don’t fare any better. Noteven the dead are spared to rest in peace. Cemeteries aredefiled and become a home for the homeless.Perpetrators would not easily do damage to a police sta-
tion or even a hospital.The sentiment that damaging a school is equal to doing
harm to the community it serves, seems to fall on deafears. For some it is easier to steal and break down thanit is to build and be part of a healthier, wiser and moreeducated future.Yet it is the children from those communities who will
be left without.Do the math. More time cleaning a trashed classroom
means less time teaching and learning.More books stolenmeans children have to share text books, as well as studytime and homework sessions. More windows brokenmeans more exposure to the elements.How to foot the bill of replacing what was broken and
stolen? This is the first thought entering the mind of vic-tims and probably the last of those who do the damage.
Abortion affects familiesIN LATE January, the Islamic Unity Con-vention Women’s Forum hosted its fifth an-nual Surghatul Mou-oodah – the Cry of theAborted Child – programme at MasjidulBaghr to commemorate all the victims of in-fanticide.On 1 February 1997 abortion-on-demand
was legalised in South Africa.The legalisation of abortion was justly op-
posed byMuslims and faithful Christians inSouth Africa, on the basis of horrendousbloodshed.Since then, more than a million babies –
and counting – have been killed legallywith-in the wombs of their mothers, with taxpay-ers’ money. But in that fateful decision, gov-ernment did not take into consideration thedestructive effects itwouldhave on the fami-ly unit.We are referring to the idea of legitimate
fatherhood.The decision whether to have an abortion
now famously rests between the “womanand her doctor or back street abortionist”.Who ismissing from this? Entirely left out
of this life-and-death question is whether ornot the woman is married. If she is married,should her husband, the legitimate father ofthe child in question, have any say in thematter?Our country is in conflict about the legal
worth of the pre-born baby.While fathers have to be included in law-
suits surrounding adoption and visitationrights, they are excluded from the decisionwhether or not their children will have theright to be born.The assault is, therefore, on the concept of
legal paternity.It is said that “a society whose sexual de-
sires are out of control, is doomed to perish”.
We can conclude that Western democra-cies, like South Africa, are financially feed-ing the abortionof family life, by subsidisingfornication and making funds available forthe use condoms in schools.The State aids teenage pregnancies
through the issuing of social grants to teenmothers, and for the past 16 years the statehas been financially aiding abortions-on-de-mand and, in the name of reproductivehealth, have been financing contraceptivesfor young girls as young as 12.South Africans are witnessing the grave
consequences of how taxpayers’ money areused to break down the family unit, insteadof strengthening society.Kathleen Park said: “Whenweweaken the
family unit, we become vulnerable to otherforces. Incrementally, governments fill thevoid once occupied by parents.”Indeed a very true statement, as the state
is financially feeding the un-fathering andun-mothering of society.This uncontrolled sexual behaviour
among teens is a direct consequence of somany divorces and short-term marriages.For what can be left of marriage when the
sanctity of themarital bedhasbeen contami-nated by pre-marital promiscuous behav-iour?The State will be showing more compas-
sion for its people if they are prepared torather spend taxpayers’ money by financial-ly supporting young people becoming re-sponsible adults that will eventually be anasset and not a liability to the country.On the other hand, the onus lies with the
faith communities to turn their homes intoplaces of worship as morally unclean peoplehappen to be alienated from God.Magboeba Davids
Accurate and straight to the pointPEOPLE’S POST’S comment (“Do some-thing”, 10 February) articulated my feelingsexactly.All of us need to take responsibility for the
society we have created.No one is born a rapist or murderer.Neither is poverty an excuse for creating
the monsters we have created.Many of our finest citizens have been
raised inpoor communities,with lovingpar-ents who have been able to foster ideals ofintegrity, honesty and conscience.Wealsoneed to stopblaming theapartheid
era. Find and support organisations such asThe Maternal, which supports pregnantmothers, the Parent Centre, the SaartjieBaartman Centre and Rape Crisis.Gill Lanham
Men, changeyour viewsTHESE past few months, civil society haswitnessed the abhorred acts of violence andthe horrendous rape of young women andchildren. What astounds me is, despite themedia attention and the outrage displayedin respect of the brutal rape and murder of17-year old Anene Booysen in Bredasdorp,our women continue to fall victim.The seeming pandemic continues unabat-
ed with reports of the same sordid killingand rape of innocent women in Atlantis,Philippi and Grabouw. When will (it) end?This is the stark reality facing women and
girls who remain trapped in fear of becom-ing victims. The shooting of ReevaSteenkamp by her boyfriend, paralympianOscar Pistorius, may seem unrelated to theaforementioned cases, but yet another wom-an has perished, and this controversial trialwill further highlight the plight of women.Men need to do much introspection.The pain that these tragedies bring upon
families is insurmountable and I believe themedia hype has merely articulated an age-old scourge of gender-based violence, whichis deep-rooted in the psyche of SouthAfricanmen. To what can this atrocious dilemma beattributed to? Do we apportion blame to thedark and violent days of apartheid and itsnegative connotations?In theWestern Cape, do we blame it on the
pandemic of drug and alcohol abuse, and es-pecially callousness and violent acts with-out a conscience when a cocktail of tik andheroin is imbibed? Or could it be ascribedto poverty and unemployment exacerbatingthe problem? Statistics indicate that vio-lence against South African women and thedeath rate is the highest in comparison tosimilar developing countries.The recent spate of crimes against women
is an indicator that rape and murder has noclass or race distinction, and abject povertyin townships or opulentwealth in plush sub-urbs are no longer distinguishing factors inSouth Africa.We are living in a sick society and men
must take responsibility to up the cudgels totransform and renew our perception ofwomen in a traditionally male-dominatedrealm.Mark Kleinschmidt

electricity theft and happens in variousforms. Syndicates employ individuals whoare desperate for work to sell illegalprepaid electricity vouchers, to connecthouseholds illegally, tamper with theirmeters, or to steal electricity cables.The culprits do all of this at a fee,luring innocent people into crime. Thesesyndicates often pretend to be employees
of Eskom or local government, intimidatingand vict imising ordinary cit izens,preventing them from taking action.Recently a large quantity of electricity
boxes, connectors and a receipt book werefound during the arrest of suspects inPort Elizabeth. The receipt book includedaddresses of buildings in Cape Town,George, Knysna and Port Elizabethwhere electricity boxes were installed.Investigations are ongoing and informationfound in the receipt book could lead tofurther arrests. The perpetrators couldface serious criminal charges.
Local government has joined forces withthe power utility Eskom, the businesssector and the media to stem theflow of losses caused by electricity theft.The South African Local GovernmentAssociation (SALGA) is a core partner ofOperation Khanyisa, a campaign thataims to mobilise all South Africans forlegal, safe and efficient electricity use.SALGA has recently committed to
redoubling its efforts to combat thecrime of electricity theft, which it saysis responsible for municipalities losing upto R3.2 billion each year.
According to SALGA’s ExecutiveDirector for Municipal InfrastructureServices, Mthobeli Kolisa, SALGA needsto coordinate and support municipalities toact and report their action in respect ofelectricity theft, and to review their by-laws to have more stringent penaltiesagainst electricity theft.At the launch of Operation Khanyisa,
Xolile George, CEO of SALGA, describedelectricity theft as “a pandemic coursingthrough our delivery capabilities and fiscalplanning.”“Local government,” he said “plays a
pivotal role in the distribution of electricity,and electricity theft hits at the very heartof the electricity distribution industry inSouth Africa.”“Enough is enough,” George continued.
“We have joined forces with our partners inOperation Khanyisa and will stamp outthis crime.”Together with Crime Line, Operation
Khanyisa provides a platform for SouthAfricans to report electricity theftanonymously, by sending a detailed SMSto 32211 (R1/SMS).For more information on how to report or
how you can join the movement visitoperationkhanyisa.co.za, like facebook.com/Operation.Khanyisa, follow twitter.com/@Op_Khanyisa or e-mail: [email protected]

PRINCESS PRO SERIES: EAGLES CONTINUE TO SORE
Eagles kill Snipers’ aim at HartleyvalePRINCESS PRO SERIES defending
champions, the Enriching Life Eagles,are on track to claim their third title
in the tournament after a victory in theiropening game on SundayThe Eagles were expected to continue
where they left off last season and see off theSynsport Snipers with ease, but the opposi-tiondidn’t seem tobe reading from the samescript and went into the half time breakleading 2-0.The defending champions managed to
pull level the scores by the finalwhistle, andwent on to win the resulting showdowns –similar to a soccer penalty shoot-out – 3-0.Andrew Winter was the Player of the
Match for the Snipers, while Keenan Hornetook the honours for the Eagles.There were goals aplenty as the other Pro
Series games at Hartleyvale continued,with two goals ormore being scored in eachmatch.In the opening men’s match, the Printing
Press Pharaohs put four unanswered goalspast the Strata Civil Serpents, scoring twoin each half. Lungile Tsolekile, a 2008 Bei-jing Olympian, was named Man of thematch for the Pharaohs, while Mark Wil-liams took the honours for the Serpents.The opening encounter for the ladies was
dominated by the Eurolux Fireflies, forwhom SA women’s player Ilse Davids wonthe pink socks, awarded to the player of thematch. Candice Manuel was named as theTeamStrikers Player of theMatch althoughher teamwas on thewrong side of a 2-0 drub-bing.In the second women’s game, the Jewel
Africa All Stars had the better of a hecticfirs- half, leading the Maidens 4-2 at thebreak.
Four more goals were recorded in a moreeven second-half, although the All Stars –whose Player of theMatch was captain Jen-
na Cunliffe – ran out 6-4 winners in a ten-goal thriller. Nicole Bartsch walked awaywith the pink socks for the Maidens.

Annual walk asuccess – againLIAM MOSES
A LOUD bang from the starting pis-tol and they were off – 20 000 peoplewalking through the streets ofGreen Point and Sea Point in the an-nual Sunshine D Polar Ice Cream10km Big Walk.The walk, of which People’s Post
was the print media sponsor, hasgrown to be a highlight on the CapeTown sports calendar and neitherthe early start nor the rising temper-ature keptwalkers from liningup enmasse at Cape Town Stadium onSunday.Elias Parker, convenor of the ex-
ecutive committee for the walk or-ganisers, thanked all thewalkers fortheir support of the event and thecharitieswhichwill benefit from theproceeds.“The organisers really believes
that the community has taken own-ership of this event andwe are privi-leged to host this event every year,as well as being able to be of serviceto our people,” says Parker.“They are the true inspirational
force behind this event. They havemade this an iconic event. We do thepreparation work and we find satis-faction in that, but this event wouldnot be successful if not for the sup-
port. Thousands of people havewalked in the last few years so theyhave escalated this event to thepoint where it is recognised as thethird biggest walking event in CapeTown.”This year the Red Cross Chil-
dren’sHospitalTrust and IslamicLi-brarywill again be the beneficiariesof the money raised by the walkers.Since the inaugural event in 2000
over R1.35m has been raised for theHospital Trust and been used to up-grade andmaintain thehospital’s fa-cilities, to improve life for patients.Last year alone R150 000 was
raised for the hospital, and substan-tial sums have also been donated tothe Islamic Library, the League ofthe Friends of the Blind and Gift ofthe Givers.Any funds donated to the Hospital
Fund this year will be used for theconstruction of a new radiology de-partment, which is expected to costover R40m.This year, walkers were also ad-
dressed by Fikile Mbalula, the na-tional Minister of Sport and Recrea-tion. All finishers received a medaland cash prizes were awarded at alucky draw after the race. The mainprize was two airline tickets to Du-bai and $500 spending money.
