Main Road, Observatory

TAURIQ HASSEN

PROPOSALS to tackle the ongoing trafficconcerns in Observatory are set to be dis-tributed within the next week.

The traffic and parking concerns are driv-ing residents up the wall.

Complaints and suggestions have been fedthrough to officials at the City of Cape Town,but the lack of answers has left residents“frustrated”.

According to the Observatory Improve-ment District (Obsid), the main problem isthe lack of parking for residents due to theinflux of visitors to Observatory.

Ancois Bester, the office manager at Obsid,remains adamant that parking and trafficproblems in Observatory is “a very big is-sue”.

Bester explains: “We have had numerousmeetings with council and the local wardcouncillor. We were able to present plans orsuggestion to these problems, but finding asolution is not that easy.”

Obsid was informed that plans were being

drawn up by the City, but understands thatsolving the parking issue will not happenovernight.

When People’s Post drove through Observa-tory’s Lower Main Road last week, problemswere clearly evident, with delivery trucksdouble parking and large volumes of trafficattempting to make their way through thenarrow street. Many residents have yet toadapt to the “crazy traffic” situation and en-courages the City to come up with amicablesolutions to the problem.

Resident Jeffrey Stevens always has carsblocking his driveway when the hype picksup in the Lower Main Road. He completelyunderstands that the “nightlife must contin-ue”, but says: “We do not have to burdenedwith these problems and although the resi-dents understand that the parking spaces donot belong to residents, there is still a matterof respecting people’s space”.

For Wilma Adams, cars speeding past herhome in Trill Road searching for parking isa common occurrence.

However, she fears leaving her home oreven vacating the parking space in the front

of her home, as finding a new parking spotclose to her home would be near impossible.

Adamssays: “You takeagambleand it’s notright. Why should we live in this sort of situa-tion only for people to be hunting down a goodtime.”

Bester was aware of residents’ fears, butsays: “Plans are being worked on at the mo-ment and we do understand the community’sfrustrations.”

Obsid also highlights that employees at anearby office complex chose to avoid payingfor parking, opting to park in the streets.

“Transport consultants have noticed thatparking inside the office park is routinely un-der-utilised, but investigations into this mat-ter have been conducted,” a report from Ob-sid states.

Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committeemember for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, confirms that the City is aware of the traf-fic situation and is currently attending to “anumber of traffic issues in the Observatoryarea”.

Herron says: “The City’s Transport De-partment is working closely with Premier

Foods to develop a plan for truck access to theSalt River mill and bakery, that will not makeuse of the residential roads.”

He anticipates that this plan will be pre-sented to the Obsid and the local civic associ-ation within the next four weeks.

Herron believes that closing off the LowerMain Road for extended periods on the week-end, would “place an unacceptable burden onsome of the more minor parallel streets.”

Proposals have also been developed forCollingwood Road, but will be distributedwithin the next week to residents for com-ment before a final decision is taken on thematter.

“One only needs to drive through the Ob-servatory area to know that the narrow roadsare difficult to navigate with traffic and on-street parking causing congestion and grid-lock,” says Herron.

Devils unleashedDear reader,

We are well into the first week of Ramadan,a holy month during which Muslims through-out theworld gowithout food, drinkandphys-ical intimacies from sunrise to sunset.

The month is spent performing extraprayers (Taraweeh), remaining spirituallycontemplative and repentant, and showingempathy and charity towards those less privi-leged.

Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam andis known for its spiritual and health benefits.

Those who have fasted for many years willknow how testing a journey it can be. Forego-ing food and drink is the easier part.

Remaining steadfast in yourspiritual resolve and resistingprovocation is the hard part.

It is especially trying when, inaddition to the usual demands ofyour professional and personallife, you are faced with extrachallenges.

The beauty of being in a stateof fasting though is that yourbody and mind automaticallytranscends base urges and, evenif you wanted to lash out in an-ger at someonewhohasannoyedyou, you invariably find your-self unable to.

Usually by the end of Ramadan, Muslimsfeel sad for a host of reasons.

Some regret not optimising the spiritualgrowth opportunity, others feel a sense of lossof the unity experienced, and many under-take to uphold the practices of kindness andsharing.

My challenge as I progress through thismonth,will be to act selflessly and contain myemotions as I brace myself for one of thetoughest challenges of my life; that of lettingthe little boywhohasknownmeashismotherfor five of his six years learn that he has an-other mother.

Two weeks ago, my foster son’s life wasturned upside down when he met his birthmother, whom he hadn’t seen in four years.

She took him one side and quietly told himthat she was his real mother and wanted totake him home with her.

He protested by drawing a picture of me,complete with long hair – as opposed to hershort hair – and then showing her who hismother is.

To her telling him that the name he isknown by was not his name, he promptlywrote down the five letters of his name. Al-though I was angry at the bad timing, I wasvery proud of my son for standing his groundand asserting his identity.

I was also proud of his confidence; and abili-ty to spell and draw.

Sadly, he was traumatised after this meet-ing, constantly expressing his fear at beingtaken away from his home and parents.

Through mutual agreement, a series of reg-ular visits aimed at reunitingmy son with his biological fam-ily has been scheduled, withthe first one meant to have tak-en place today.

I was relieved when the so-cial worker informed me yes-terday that the visit had beencancelled.

But I know that future inter-actions are inevitable and thatI cannot control the processesthat may stem from them.

What I can do is protect myson from hurt, remind all par-ties concerned that decisions

should be made in his, not the adults’ best in-terests and continue to provide a safe, lovinghome for him.

In a perfect world, I would have protectedmy son from some of his life truths, but as theolder and responsible one, I know that life sel-dom goes according to plan.

As I look forward to Ramadan and thepeace and strength it will bring me, I am alsoaware that it will be a crucial time for me tochoose the correct responses to influence apositive outcome for the child entrusted tome.

TAURIQ HASSEN

TENANTS in a seven-storey block of flatsin Kensington say they are living in adump – a far cry from the “luxury apart-ments” they signed up for.

Describing the building and living condi-tions as “hazardous and unhealthy”, calls forSquare on Tenth’s owners to clean up theiract have not yet been answered.

A rat and cockroach infestation, a sea ofgarbage, soiled nappies, people urinatingfrom their windows and even used condomsstrewn around are but some of the issuesplaguing frustrated residents.

Fila Ndjela says he is sick of the run-inswith rodents in the two years he has been liv-ing in the building.

“This is not the way a human being is sup-posed to live and we are battling to improvethe conditions,” he says.

Kashiefa Abrahams says the initial adver-tisement labelled itself as an “upmarket com-plex” with talks of a crèche and daycare, gym,doctors rooms, basketball courts and twoswimming pools.

However, none of the advertised benefits ofthe flats were implemented, other than asmall pool, laundry, bakery, cafe and cloth-ing store.

“None of the things implemented at the flatis of any benefit to the tenants,” she says.

“The residents of Kensington are all veryunhappy about this block of flats, but nothingis being done about this matter.”

Malcolm Roman says he is unimpressedwith the building’ structure and layout,pointing out a lack of parking space, a faultydrainage system which leads to flooding andinadequate space for young children to play.

“Everything that the owners said theywould be doing at this flat is not being done,”he says. “They advertised a luxury block of

flats, but all people got was ablock filled with problems.”

Concerns around the 10th Ave-nue building already loomed ear-lier this year.

Surrounding residents were ir-ritated when sidewalks were de-stroyed and traffic was inconven-ienced while the block was beingbuilt.

Farrell Suttner, owner of Far-relliHoldingswhichmanages thebuilding, is aware of pest infesta-tions and claims rats enterthrough sewers, but are also at-tracted by food left behind by ten-ants.

He continues that cockroachesare brought into the buildingwhen fridges and other applianc-es are moved into the building.

Suttner says: “Where tenants

could be identified, they have been fined bythe Body Corporate, which includes tenantsnot abiding by the laws.”

“The Body Corporate is responsible forspraying of drains and walkways should theybe the large flying cockroaches, which hasnot been so,” he explains.

Flooding on parking decks was already re-ferred to the engineers and the owners are

awaiting feedback.Regarding the garbage problem, Suttner

says: “We have cleaners on site continuallyassisting with the cleaning up process.”

Owners still have plans to introduce otheramenities for the block of flats.

Suttner adds: “We need to do research be-fore implementing and would rather not com-ment or advertise.”

Cops on civvy duty – a joke or not?Cops on civvy duty – a joke or not?A DECISION by the national police au-thorities to cancel private contracts –including guards at gates and cleaningservices – has been met with ridicule.

The official opposition, the DA, has re-portedly said nobody will take seriously apolice officer with a “mop in hand”.

DA spokesperson Dianne Kohler Bar-nard said: “Thismeanswehave fewer copson the streets and more in police officestaking responsibility for non-core duties.”

People’s Post reporters Teresa Fischer,Laila Majiet and Summer Jacobs polledreaders for their views.

SCEPTICAL: Peter Samuel, aformer firefighter, says back inthe day theyused to have toclean their ownfire engines;now they havecleaners do it.He says the police should lookafter themselves, but hedoesn’t think itwill happen. “If itdoes, what willthey do with themoney theysave?”

AGAINST: Veronique Lemeneysays: “I didn’teven know theyhad securityguards at policestations. By having security theyare creating jobsfor people andthere will bemore police outin the field. Whatwill happen nowif one phonesthem and theycan’t come outbecause they arebusy guardingthe station?”

BE RESOURCEFUL: MyrtleChristian sayspolice stationsshould use theservices at hand.“I know some police stationswith holdingcells use thepeople in theholding cells tohelp cleanaround the station. This waythey can dosomething constructive insteadof doing nothingall day.”

SAFETYFIRST: RitaSheldon believes protecting people is the firstand foremostduty of thepolice. “Theyshould not beasked to domenial tasks.They havebeen trainedand are paidto provide theservice of protection, notto keepthings tidy.”

GOOD IDEA:CliveBooysen(49) says itmay be agood idea toget police todo civilianwork. However, hesays: “Itshouldn’t interfere withtheir policing work. Police officersalready havea lot on theirplate.”

UNFAIR: AshrafKhan (32)thinks policehave a bigenough tasksweeping thestreets of crime.“We cannot becalling on policeand be toldthey’re too busyguarding policestations or mopping to attend toour crime concerns. Childrenare not going towant to becomepolice officersanymore”.

DOUBTFUL:Deliwe Shaba(30) says it isa bad idea.“Police haveenough work.As it stands,there is justabout enoughpolice officersto fight crime.These policeofficers cannot be expected to cleanand guard police stationswhen theyshould be protecting us.”

Programme makes inroads into teen mental healthA GROUNDBREAKING mentalhealth programme puts renewed fo-cus on teenagers.

Called MindMatters, the pro-gramme aims to promote mentalhealth and to prevent and reducethe onset of mental illness amongteens.

To bring home their message,Cape Mental Health has launched aroadshow to reach 14- to 18-year-olds.

Maleeka Mokallik, communica-tions manager of Cape MentalHealth, says the aim is to reachabout 2 000 pupils with their road-show, themed Be Kind To You.

To this end, a team of social work-ers will be visiting, among others,Maitland, Zeekoevlei, Westridge,Crystal and Ocean View highschools as part of mental health andpsychiatric disability awarenessmonth.

Says Mokallik: “The aim of thecampaign is to create awareness ofand educate young people aboutmental illness with a specific focuson the prevention of substance mis-use and suicide.”

The statistics offer a rude awak-ening.

According to the SA Depressionand Anxiety Group (Sadag), thereare 230 attempted suicides eachday, of which 23 are successful;9,5% of all teen deaths are attribut-ed to suicides. And the youngest su-icide victim was seven years old.

Mokallik says mental illness is a“serious problem and rapidly onthe increase among young people –not only in South Africa, but on aglobal scale”. Factors which couldhinder the mental and physicalwell-being of individuals each dayinclude unemployment, substand-ard education, poor living condi-

tions, low morale, substance mis-use, risky sexual behaviour, bully-ing, violence, inadequate access tohealth care and the high rate of tikaddiction.

The MindMatters programme en-ables learners to make more appro-priate life choices despite being ex-posed to factors that hinder theirwell being and the programme coor-dinator Elroy Solomons says: “Thepupils have learned to cope betterwith stressful situations and cannow manage their lives more effec-tively.” He adds there have been a“sharp decrease in teenage preg-nancies, abuse and violence at theschools”.

Cape Mental Health will thismonth – which is Psychiatric Disa-bility Awareness Month – focus onYouth and Mental Health.

Mokallik says they are calling onparents, teachers and pupils to

work toward the prevention of men-tal illness and the promotion ofmental health.

“As a nation, it is our collectiveresponsibility to ensure that youngpeople are effectively equipped todeal with the pressures of daily liv-ing.” During the roadshow, pupilswill receive trendy, user-friendlyeducational cards – called Z cardsbecause of the way the card collaps-es and unfolds – pertaining to men-tal health and illness.

All 17 mental health societiescountrywide will also be address-ing thepublic andencouraging fam-ilies to engage openly about mentalhealth.

Mokallik says Cape MentalHealth offers a dual approach to de-tecting and treating mental healthmatters in youth. They provide ade-quate mental health support struc-tures and help create awareness of

mental health issues.“Mental illness contributes to the

third highest burden of disease inSA and it is known that mental dis-orders are a leading cause of disa-bility and loss of economic produc-tivity. Yet when people think of dis-ability, they tend to think aboutphysical disabilities” says Mokal-lik. “A direct consequence of this isthat the promotion of mental healthand the prevention of mental illnessare often overlooked as prioritiesand are grossly underfunded by theState.” She says it is vital to under-stand mental illness is nothing to beashamed of and many people learnto manage their illness and contin-ue their lives. “There is alwayshope.”

As the oldest such facility in thecountry, Cape Mental Health pro-vides a host of services. Contactthem on (021) 447 9040.

Public to participatein closure processLAILA MAJIET

THE PUBLIC will be given a voice in theclosure of Zonnebloem Nest Senior Sec-ondary School.

The school faces closure due to the dwin-dling number of pupils when compared to in-itial enrolment, as well as underperform-ance.

In previous reports, the school’s principalJonty Damsell said he does not agree withthe reasons citedby theprovincial educationdepartment.

He said that provincial education ministerDonald Grant asking for public representa-tions on the closure when his final decisionhad been taken long ago, is contradictory.

On the heels of the imminent closure of 27schools in the province, the public is calledon to participate in the closure process.

Damsell says the school caters mainly forXhosa-speaking pupils, therefore when theeducation department changed the pass re-quirements for English, many of the matric-ulants failed and the school had to adapt.

He says: “This year the school receivedR12 000 from the education department forimprovement in mathematics in Grade 12.Again we are unsure of how we can be classi-fied as underperforming when we receivedthis large sum of money for improvement.”

But Grant hits back: “After considering allrepresentations received from the govern-ing bodies concerned, I have decided to pro-ceed with the public hearings in respect ofeach of the 27 schools and have taken stepsto inform each of the schools of my decision.

“This decision merely officially marks thebeginning of the broader participation proc-ess. It does not indicate any final decision onmy behalf.”

Earlier this month, the provincial educa-tion department informed the school of thenext process in its possible closure in an offi-cial notice.

The letter’s subject was “the official clo-sure”.

Damsell says the subject of the letter im-plied that the Department of Education hadalready made up its mind.

Provincial education department spokes-person, Bronagh Casey, counters: “The edu-cation department is aware of the confusionover the subject line of the letter issued toschools. We have contacted each of theschools to ensure that they are aware of theprocess involved and that they must refer tothe contents of the letter. ”

The provincial education department saythey are at this stage unable to comment onimprovement in academic results made byany of the 27 schools facing closure.

Casey explains the aim of the proposedschool closure “is to improve opportunitiesfor the children concerned.

“The department would like to place themat schools better equipped to provide qualityeducation.”

A final decision on the school closures isexpected to be made in September or Octoberafter Grant “has reviewed all the representa-tions and submissions by the school govern-ing bodies, department and the publicthrough the public participation process”.

At the time of going to print, People’s Posthad tried repeatedly to gain further com-ment from the school but was unsuccessful.

NEXT STEP: Zonnebloem Nest will be part of a public participation process to make a furtherrepresentation to the provincial education department in a bid to keep the school open.

AN INDIAN EATERY will re-place a derelict eyesore in UpperWoodstock.

More than just a lick of paint willbe undertaken by the property own-er, who will start renovating thehouse at the corner of Palmerstonand Roodebloem Roads once financ-es are finalised.

The redevelopment has been metwith sighs of relief from residentswho were previously forced to putup with dumping, unattended firesand drunken behaviour at the site(People’s Post, “Vagrants move in”,17 August 2010).

Property owner Jagdish Van-zarn, who also owns Chandani Res-taurant which is located metresaway from the site, confirms thatplans had already been approved.

Vanzarn says he has plans to turnthe property in to an Indian restau-rant.

“We are awaiting finances in or-der to start with the construction atthe site,” he says.

Construction will commence “assoon as possible” – but all focus ison gaining the necessary funds toback the development.

Building work was stopped lastDecember when the City of CapeTown’s Building Inspector was no-tified of unauthorised building ac-tivities.

Cheryl Walters, the director forthe City’s Planning and BuildingDevelopment Management depart-ment, confirms plans have nowbeen approved for the site.

The approved proposal, which isvalid for a year, suggests that a can-

opy and inside alterations will bedone.

Resident David Erasmus is re-lieved by the plans as the eyesorewas “horribly affecting” neigh-bouring property values.

Last year, Erasmus attempted tosell his home, but a potential buyertold him there were were too manyvagrants loitering outside his prop-erty.

“They referred to this horriblesite and I knew this would affectany sort of sale. I decided to stay inthis area because it was too difficultto sell,” he says.

Resident Sally O’Neil expressesher outrage at scenes of vagrantsfighting, building fires and dump-ing.

She was especially incensed bythe number of vagrants occupyingthe property.

“Wehad lodged concernswith theowner on numerous occasions andthere were times we felt we justwanted to go onto the property andkick those vagrants out ourselves,”she says.

When People’s Post visited thesite last week, the property hadbeen cleared.

RAMADAN is the ninth andholiest month of the Muslimlunar calendar.

For Muslims, those 29 or 30days are a spiritual exercise de-signed to bring them closer toGod through contemplation andhumility, but not without joy andfestivities.

They are required to abstainfrom food, drink and sex of anysort during daylight hours.

They may indulge in all threeat night.

Ramadan is, in Islam, whatThanksgiving is in the UnitedStates – an extended occasion forsocialising, celebrating and lov-ing.

Ramadan is one of the five pil-lars, or essential practices, of Is-lam.

The fasting rule is not inflexi-ble.

Children, the infirm, the sick,pregnant women and sometimeseven travellers are not requiredto fast.

There’s also thematter of logic:what would a scientist workingin the Arctic or the Antarctic, forexample, where the sun may nei-ther set nor rise at all, dependingon the season, be required to do?

What would a traveller jettingfrom one end of the globe to theother, hurdling time zones whileoutlasting the sun’s normalrhythm for 24 hours, be required

to do?In either case, Islam is not ob-

tuse. The practising Muslimwould fast in accordance with aclock he or she sets realistically,perhaps in line with the risingand setting sun on Mecca time.

Ramadan does not fall on a spe-cific date on the Gregorian, orWestern, calendar.

Nor is it determined scientifi-cally, but by clerics’ observation,through the naked eye, of the firstsliver of the new moon on theninth month of the Islamic calen-dar.

That means Ramadan in Alge-ria could begin a full day earlieror later than Ramadan in Oman.– www.about.com

CHARITY is very importantin Islam, and even more soduring Ramadan.

Zakat, often translated as“the poor-rate”, is obligatory asone of the pillars of Islam; afixed percentage is required tobe given by those with savings.Sadaqa is voluntary charity

in giving above and beyondwhat is required from the obli-gation of zakat. Muslims be-

lieve that all good deeds aremore handsomely rewarded inRamadaan than in any othermonth of the year. Consequent-ly, many will choose this timeto give a larger portion, if notall, of the zakat for which theyare obligated to give. In addi-tion, many will also use thistime to give a larger portion ofsadaqa in order to maximisethe reward they believe willawait them on the Day of Judg-

ment. In many Muslim coun-tries, it is not uncommon to seepeople giving more food to thepoor and the homeless, andeven to see large public areasfor the poor to come and breaktheir fast. It is said that if a per-son helps a fasting person tobreak their fast, then they re-ceive a reward for that fast,without diminishing the re-ward that the fasting person gotfor their fast. Even in non-Mus-

lim countries, no matter howsmall the Muslim population, aconsistent increase in charita-ble donations to both fellowsMuslims and non-Muslims oc-curs more so in this month.

In the USA, for example,many Muslim communities dis-persed throughout the country,participate in contributingfood, clothes and non-perisha-ble food items to local charities.– www.wikipedia.org

THREE suspects were arrested andR20 000 worth of drugs were confiscatedlast week.

On Tuesday, Woodstock police swoopedon two suspected drug dens in the area.

Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson forthe Woodstock police, explains that the firstarrest was made in Albert Road at around12:30.

A 67-year-old man was seen running intoone of the pubs, catching the eye of officerson scheduled crime prevention patrols.

“When police chased after the man, the of-ficer noticed that he was trying to hide aplastic container inside the pub,” says Mali-la.

When police opened the container, theydiscovered 123 pieces of heroin, valued atR12 000.

The second arrest was made at the DublinMews at around 13:30, when police discov-ered a large quantity of compressed dagga.

A 36-year-old man and 29-year-old womanwere detained after members of the WesternCape Flying Squad swooped on two flats inthe block in Dublin Street.

“The arrests follows a crime intelligenceoperation,” Malila says.

He confirms that the confiscated dagga

has a street value of around R8 000.All suspects appeared in the Cape Town

Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on chargesrelating to dealing and possession of daggaand drugs. “The Woodstock police wants toappeal to the public to report all illegal activ-ities happening within our policing pre-cinct,” he says.

. Police arrested 22 suspects and issuedfines to the value of R6 500 over the weekend.

During liquor licence compliance inspec-tions, police visited 31 liquor premises,where fines for non-compliance were hand-ed out.

Malila says that various crime preventionoperations and patrols were conducted, re-sulting in 22 arrests for various crimes.

Seven arrests were made for possession ofdrugs, two for robbery, two for possessionof stolen property, two for drunken drivingand two for theft out of motor vehicle.

“Wealso confiscateddrugs anddaggawithan estimated street value of R5 000,” saysMalila.

Other suspects were arrested for less seri-ous offences within the Woodstock area.

All arrested suspects appeared in the CapeTown Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Mon-day 23 July) on various charges.

Malila says: “These sort of operations willbe done on a continuous basis, over week-ends, in the Woodstock precinct.”

Safety wrapTHE Summer Olympics kick off in London onFriday.

One of the major concerns levelled at theSA 2010 World Cup Soccer – crime – is comingback to haunt London.

Among the most barbed voices in the worldmedia, the Brits simply could not reign intheir negativity around a safe world event inthis former colony.

History has proven their fears unfounded.Now the same questions are being asked of

the London Olympics. How safe will visitorsand athletes be? In particular, Israeli athleteswho mark the 40th anniversary of the Gamesin Munich, Germany, when terrorists killed11 Israeli athletes and coaches.

Chairman of the London 2012 Olympics, Se-bastian Coe, has promised a “safe and secure”event.

Coe fielded media enquiries after the fail-ure of private security company G4S to pro-vide adequate security staff. This has led to3 500 more British troops being called in,making it about 17 000 troops on duty to keepCoe true to his word.

Safety of another matter has also been anissue. Sex workers in Newham, the east Lon-don area which houses the stadium, havebeen bearing the brunt of a police blitz.

The expected influx of two million visitorsfor the Olympics will, it is reportedly predict-ed, inject £13bn into the UK economy overthe next four years. Perhaps safe sex is theone aspect of personal safety visitors to Lon-don may not have to worry about.

A crime associated directly with the SASoccer World Cup – the armed robbery ofthree foreign reporters covering the Portu-guese soccer team at a four-star high-securitylodge near Johannesburg – has at the timebeen solved promptly.

Two Zimbabweans and a Nigerian were ar-rested, charged, tried, convicted and sen-tenced in one of 54 special courts set up.

The world waits to see if the same efficiencycan be expected of London.

THE ugly face of the death penaltyshocked many of us when a young womanwas publicly executed in Afghanistan. Itnever has a pretty face and can never be“humane”.

I was a young boy of 12 when I first en-countered the death penalty.

A young man killed his lover and hermother in Cradock, my birthplace. He at-tempted suicide, but was later executed.That day I decided to devote my life to thefight against this vile form of punish-ment.

Through the years I’ve written numer-ous letters to newspapers nationally tomake people think how despicably it isused in different countries. More thanhalf the countries of the world have al-ready abolished it. Not one desires to re-introduce this Trojan horse.

The bullying tactics of the super powersto continue using it for their own dubiousends is a big stumbling block. China atone stage had 67 capital offences, nowa-days about 56. In the USA and several oth-ers, like Saudi Arabia, even youngsters

and the mentally challenged can be exe-cuted.

The death penalty is very emotionaland sensitive and causes untold anxietyto both parties, the victim, the perpetra-tor and their families.

No scientific or empirical evidence thatthe death penalty has deterrent value hasemerged and never will. Politiciansshould introduce a law making this claima criminal offence.

Many countries have come to SA seek-ing to learn how it was ever possible toextricate ourselves from our disastrouspast.

Others will unfortunately never be suc-cessful in unshackling themselves fromtheirs without paying a monstrous pricein the loss of human life, relationshipsand infrastructure.

The death penalty is a violent act andwill always lead to more violence. Thereis nothing good about it.

Anyone who supports the death penaltyis himself a potential murderer.KOERT U MEYER

. Can anyone please tell me howto get rid of mould marks?

. Some shop owners won’t sellLotto tickets because the profitsearned makes it “haraam”. Whatabout tobacco sales that do exten-sive harm to the body, mind andsoul, and also creates bigger prof-its? Who’s fooling who?

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE long-awaited battle between AjaxCape Town and Manchester United endedin a 1-1 draw at Cape Town Stadium.

The match, which had been eagerly antici-pated by both teams fans since its announce-ment, was played in wet and rainy condi-tions. This, however, did not stop fans fromdonning their team’s colours to the match towatch the somewhat disappointing match.

Ajax drew first blood when substitute, Al-cardo Van Graan, chipped in a cross, catch-ing Manchester United’s solid defence off-guard.

The 19 time English league championswaited until the 93rd minute of stoppagetime to spoil the Urban Warrior’s party,whenanother substitute,Bebe, skilfully slot-ted in the ball into the back of the net fromclose range.

Ajax proved their worth against a Man-chester United team missing big names suchas Wayne Rooney, Nani and Nemanja Vidic.

Khama Billiat was one of the stand out per-formers for Ajax, giving United’s young leftback, Tyler Blackett, a tough day at the of-fice. The Zimbabwean winger, who wasnamed man of the match, had the Cape Townoutfit’s first real chance, striking the balljust wide of the right hand post. Minutes lat-er the winger tore United’s midfield, whichfeaturedexperience campaigners inMichealCarrick and veteran Paul Scholes, to shredsbefore losing his footing and the opportunitywas lost.

Chances were few for United, with Javier“Chicharito” Hernandez getting on the endof few chances missed in front of goal. Wing-er Antonio Valencia was left frustrated, as

Ajax stubborn defence stood tall. A closerange header by the Mexican striker got thecrowd to their feet, but an acrobatic savefrom Dutch keeper Sander Westerveld, de-nied the games opener.

In the second half, United came out firing,but still lacked the killer instinct in front ofgoal. The closest chance came from the headof new signing, Shinji Kagawa, when a pinpoint accurate cross from Bebe was headedinches wide from the post.

Ajax hitman, Terror Fanteni, stung thehands of United keeper, Ben Amos, when hiseffort was dug out in the 75th minute.

Ajax coach Maarten Stekelenburg was de-lighted at the performance displayed by theUrban Warriors, saying: “The players wereall pumped up for this game and playing infront of a full stadium motivated our playerseven further.”

Defensively, Stekelenburg highlighted theefforts of Nazeer Allie and the towering fig-ure of Matthew Booth, acknowledging thatthe Cape side had conceded too many goalslast season.

“It’s still in our pre-season for us that’swhy we made a number of substitutions toensure that we keep our players fresh, butwe will continue to work hard on the train-ing field so that at the start of our season,we can continue where we left off,” says theproud Stekelenburg.

Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex Fer-guson, was impressed with Ajax’s perform-ance when he told MUTV: “They caused usa few problems and we decided to makechanges and bring on the younger players,but it was a very competitive game.”

He was particularly impressed with theperformance of his two new signings, Ka-gawa and Nick Powell.
