Refugee processingcomes under fireTERESA FISCHER

THOUSANDS of asylum seekers areturned away from the Maitland refu-

gee reception centre every month, mostoften through no fault of their own.

They are also subjected to violence and con-tempt, and corruption is rife, according to theNGO Passop (People Against Suffering Op-pression and Poverty), following a two-weekperiod of intensive monitoring.

The most common reason people wereturned away was because the office had runout of forms.

According to Passop, applicants are beingrendered undocumented through no fault oftheir own, and are as a result vulnerable toarrest, imprisonment with criminals, and de-portation.

The NGO recently released a report of mo-nitoring conducted at the centre from 28March until 8 April by a team of 11 volunteersof various nationalities, led by American re-searcher, Alaina Varvaloucas.

Two to three monitors were always at thecentre during the hours it is open, between08:00 and 16:00.

The monitoring was funded by the Ful-bright Commission.

The monitors attempted to question themajority of people leaving the centre, andnote their experiences and the reason theywere turned away, if applicable. Of a total of1 659 people interviewed, 365 were turnedaway due to the centre’s lack of forms, 363 be-cause they did not have a border pass or ithad expired, and 246 because there were toomany people.

According to the report, monitors also ob-served several instances of security guardsbeating people in the crowd with makeshiftwhips of cloth and rubber or long woodensticks.

A security guard allegedly hit a Somaliman over the head with a stick. He bled pro-fusely.

The incident was reported to the monitorby at least a dozen people and the monitor wit-

nessed and took photos of the injuries.On one occasion, guards attempted to dis-

perse a crowd of newcomers turned away byHome Affairs by beating them with a stick.Monitors were caught up and nearly knockedover in the rush.

There was also a stampede when the gatewas opened one morning at 04:00, which re-sulted in one Somali man breaking his leg.

With regards to corruption, the reportstates some form of corrupt practice was wit-nessed by every one of the 11 monitors overthe course of the two weeks.

The monitoring was in part due to two ma-jor amendments to the Immigration Act of2002, which are currently before parliament.

These include shortening thevalidity of theasylum transit permit or border pass from 14days to five, which means asylum seekershave only five days in which to report to arefugee reception office after they enter thecountry.

The other amendment would impose signif-icant jail time on any migrant caught undocu-mented, or any individual caught aiding un-documented migrants.

Passop says that given the potential to ad-versely affect asylum seekers, it was worthrevisiting the situation to assess Home Af-fairs’ capacity to deal with applicants.

It has found the centre is unable to servenewcomers within the requisite five days,and therefore, jail time for undocumented mi-grants is draconian.

Delays have perhaps the biggest implica-tions for newcomers, who, especially oncrowded days, are frequently turned awaywithout a chance to fill in their forms and gettheir temporary permits. So even those withvalid border passes may be turned away dueto numbers. Since newcomers can only comeon certain designated days, they must waitanother week to re-apply. The newcomerwould thus receive no papers, through nofault of his/her own, and be unable to workor open a bank account, and would be vulner-able to arrest and deportation.

“Because of the multitude of reasons asy-lum-seekers are being turned away, it is un-

reasonable to think that the five-day permitrule can be adhered to unless serious stepsare taken tomake theprocessmore efficient.”

The report states that officials and securityguards generally treat asylum-seekers withindifference and contempt.

They are not informed of when they will beserved, officials have come out the office toscream at the crowd and there are inadequate(sometimes none at all) portable toilets.

Finally many (66 during the monitoring)who have already obtained their status arestill waiting for months for their refugeepassport. Passop strongly urged the Depart-ment of Home Affairs to take a serious lookat the daily running of its refugee centres,and make changes where necessary.

It recommends that the centre must:. Hire new staff, or open on Saturdays.. Not limit newcomers to specific days of

the week.. Crack down on corruption and abuse.

. Develop a more respectful attitude to-wards asylum seekers.

. Enhance the efficiency of current staff.

. Provide number cards for the followingday to those turned away; and

. Put up better signage and inform those inthe queue about when they will be served.

The Department of Home Affairs respondsthat it notes the monitoring report and willstudy the report and its findings, followingwhich it will communicate a comprehensiveresponse. Passop was due to meet the Depart-ment of Home Affairs to discuss the reportyesterday.

Empty shops an eyesoreTAURIQ HASSEN

A PRIVATELY-OWNED buildingwhich housed stores in Salt Riv-

er’s Main Road has been left to de-cay.

Bad smells, coupled with the preva-lence of “suspicious characters” andpiles of rubbish, plague the site once oc-cupied by functioning businesses, andresidents and business owners are fed-up.

The series of store spaces have beenleft unsecured, after construction work-ers employed by the owners attemptedto demolish the building.

It is understood that the owners didnot leave the building “unsecured” butthat they were “vandalised” and “de-stroyed” by members of the communi-ty.

One of the stores has already been se-cured, with the front entrance beingbricked up.

Surrounding residents, consumersand business owners are concernedover the image of the area being affect-ed by the “disgusting state the buildingis currently facing”.

Shaun Williams, a former businessowner in the area and Salt River resi-dent, recently relocated to Epping In-dustria, but owned a clothing businessin the Main Road for 15 years.

“That building has been vandalisedon several occasions, and there weresupposed to be developments at the site,but all we saw were construction work-ers in and out of the building,” says Wil-liams.

He says he had to “force himself” tomove out of the area, as many factors,including the poor state of the build-ings, “left him with few options”.

“In the business world, your consum-er comes first, and you must put theirneeds first, as they are the ones payingto keep your business alive, so withbuildings like this in the area, it’s unat-tractive and chases away clients,” saysWilliams.

Rachmat Abdullah, another residentin Salt River, adds that concerns areranging from “thieves” hiding out inthe building, to illegal dumping of con-struction rubble and domestic waste.

She adds that on many occasions,walking down that Main Road “alwaysexposes new things and people takingadvantage”.

Members of the public arealways seen moving in andout of the house, dumping andacting “suspiciously” at theunsecured premises.

“I saw people on numerousoccasions throwing their dirt

into that building, and I threatened tocall the police, but they don’t care andthey just move on,” says Abdullah.

On Wednesday 25 May, Abdullahpassed the derelict building and spottedtwo vagrants using the site as their“personal toilet”.

“They were facing the Main Road anddoing a number two, but when I con-fronted them they laughed, as if theywere drugged or something,” says Ab-dullah.

Another business owner, locatedclose to the site and who wishes to re-main anonymous, cannot not stand thesmell emanating from the building.

In the past, he has requested the Cityof Cape Town to visit the building andinspect the premises after the demoli-tion crew vacated the building.

According to the owner, when thebuilding was left unattended, “prob-lems started occurring regularly, caus-ing major headaches”.

“They worked for a few months,threw down the roof of the building anda few walls, but then the constructionwork just stopped and part of the fencewas stolen. (This meant) the buildingwas open to the public and certain peo-ple, especially these vagrants, are tak-ing advantage,” says the owner.

He added: “I cannot say it is immedi-ately affecting my business, but I cansay that it looks disgusting, and we haveto try and run a business under theseconditions.”

Newly-elected ward councillor, BrettHerron, confirms that he had alreadyregistered some concerns from the pub-lic regarding the derelict site.

“I personally took a drive down to thearea, where I passed the building andfound it to be really concerning,’ saysHerron.

In an attempt to solve the matter, Her-ron says he has reported the matter tothe City’s Problem Buildings TaskTeam.

“They have received my report, butthey are currently extremely busy withseveral other derelict buildings, but Iwill be monitoring the situation,” saysHerron.

Herron says he also plans to contactthe owners to make them aware of theproblems the building is causing.

People’s Post approached the ownerof the property, who declined to com-ment.

RocklandsVillarestoredTAURIQ HASSEN

Construction on the historic Rocklands Villa inUniversity Estate may be nearing completion,

but some believe “the damage has been done”

Last year, Rocklands Villa was demolished after thelast two remaining walls were deemed to be “structural-ly unsound” by engineers hired by Oasis, which boughtthe land in 2001 to build their new three-storey headquar-ters.

This was in contravention of the City of Cape Townand Heritage Western Cape’s original conditions of ap-proval for the building plans and land use conditions.

The villa was once a Victorian homestead set in a spa-cious garden. It featured a pitched roof, three tall decora-tive chimneys, a covered verandah that wrapped aroundtwo sides of the building, detailed plaster surroundsaround the windows and door frames, and cast ironmouldings, and was said to have provided a sense of old-world charm to the area.

People’s Post reported on the events at the site(“Wrecking ball hovers over villa”, 10 August 2010),where it was highlighted that Oasis had demolished unauthorised parts of the historically significant building.The City and Heritage Western Cape (HWC) had givenpermission for the construction of the office block abovea double basement parking behindand neighbouring the original villa.It also permitted the demolition ofthe recently built back section of thevilla and the excavation of the base-ment beneath it.

The approval was subject to mea-sures being taken to protect the his-torical aspects of the building.

When Oasis undertook demoli-tion work on this part of the villa inMarch, council issued a cease worksorder to stop work within two me-tres of the property.

Nazeem Ebrahim, the deputychairperson and group complianceofficer for Oasis, maintained at thetime that the company had followedall procedures and that a “lack ofcommunication” from HWC had re-sulted in a “comedy of errors” andthe stalling of the construction pro-cess.

The company was instructed to work with heritageconsultants to reconstruct the villa.

Former ward councillor, Cedric Thomas, who was inoffice at the time the building was wrongfully demol-ished, confirmed that the correct procedures were fol-lowed in the build-up to the restoration of Rocklands

Villa.“The matter has gone through a process, which has

been monitored by Heritage Western Cape,” says Tho-mas.

Thomas would not elaborate on the revamp of Rock-lands Villa.

Fatiegh Johnson, a local resident,was initially sad to see the building be-ing demolished last year, and could notbelieve it was really happening.

“I grew up seeing that house, andwhen they threw it down, I really wasnot happy, because I felt as if it wasvery much a part of this area we livein,” says Johnson.

Shariefa Benjamin, who lives a fewhouses away, says: “There is no historyin that building, because the fact thatit had been standing for so long is thetrue history behind that house.”

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy theyrebuilt the house, but you cannot con-vince me that house is historic. Maybethe land yes, but not the actual house,”says Benjamin.

People’s Post attempted to gain com-ment from Oasis at the time of going toprint, but was unsuccessful.

Locals unhappy with vagrantsTAURIQ HASSEN

AMAITLAND recreational parkis regularly used by school

children and residents, but thenumber of vagrants is growing bythe day, causing some concernsamongst parents.

Alcohol consumption, fighting, ar-guments, littering and harassment ofthose visiting the park are amongstthe concerns streaming in from par-ents.

Adele Richards, a Maitland resi-dent, visits the park daily, to bondwith her four-year-old daughter.

“I am a housewife. The part of theday I look forward to is spending timewith my daughter, and I walk up to thepark,” says Richards.

However, the park has recently beenoccupied by several vagrants “enjoy-ing a day in the sun”, but causing prob-lems for the rest of the people visitingthe park.

On Wednesday 4 May, she wasforced to cut her visit short when twodrunk vagrants turned violent, fight-ing with each other in the park. Ac-cording to Richards, one was armedwith a brick and the other with a glassbottle. She feels that their intention“was to inflict serious damage on eachother”.

“I will not allow my children to bea witness to stuff like that, because it’sdisgusting, and not safe at all for thechildren,” says Richards.

James Komwene, another con-

cerned parent, lodged a complaintwith theCity ofCapeTown, as theown-er of the park. He explained that on nu-merous occasions, vagrants are seenlining the outskirts of the park, mostlydrinking alcohol and smoking cheaptobacco.

“Our children are exposed to thesescenes, even though the park is for rec-reational purposes, but they are creat-ing a concerning, and certainly notsafe, atmosphere for the children,”says Komwene.

Businesses located close to the parkare also concerned, as many of theworkers spend their lunch hours inthe park.

Faghria Galant, a takeaway owner,regularly serves vagrants that head offto the park for the afternoon, but usu-ally encourages them not to drinkaround the children.

“”When they come in here, many ofthem are already drunk, and you cansee they are preparing to have anotherdrink, which is sickening, and nothingis being done about the problem,” saysGalant.

George Franks, a textile factoryowner, receives regular complaintsfrom his workers regarding workersbeing harassed by vagrants in thepark. Many of the workers are usuallyasked for money or a cigarette. He sayssaying no to the vagrants “usually in-vites them to come back”. “They willharass the workers until there is a re-action, which usually ends up in argu-ments, and if you give the one, all ofthem will try their luck, so something

needs to be done,” says Franks.Edite Rodrigues, manager for the

Maitland Improvement District, saysthe vagrants are a nuisance in thatpark, “Something must be done aboutthe problem,” says Rodrigues.

When People’s Post visited the park,the MaitCID security patrol vans werestationed outside the entrance of thepark.

According to Rodrigues, the Mait-CID are attempting to solve the matterby using foot patrols in the area.

The MaitCID is mainly responsiblefor ensuring that many of the busi-nesses are monitored and secured.

They are also responsible for ensur-ing the area stays clean, tackling prob-lem areas along Voortrekker Road.

Newly-elected ward councillor, Der-rick America, was not aware of theconcerns around the park, as he sayshe is still settling into his ward. How-ever, America confirms that he wasconcerned after driving through thearea. “From what I have seen in otherparts of Maitland, it is quite concern-ing.”

On the issues surrounding the park,America says that a positive way for-ward is to host a public meeting in thefuture, where residents will be able tolodge their concerns with the City.

“This would be the probable way for-ward, and we can look into the matterat the same time, giving us enoughtime to investigate,” says America.

If you would like to lodge your con-cerns with America, phone him on082 200 6679.

Metered taxis cause mayhem in ObsTAURIQ HASSEN

CONSISTENT traffic problemscaused by metered taxis disobeyingthe traffic laws are opening the doorfor discussions on a metered taxirank in Observatory.

Metered taxis are deemed to be“reckless”, causing congestion, dou-ble parking, parking on pavements,operating illegally and loading andunloading passengers in the LowerMain Road.

Molly Winters, an Observatoryresident, explained that meteredtaxis have “lost all respect” and for-gotten all about “road courtesy”.

“It’s actually unbelievable; someof them blatantly show you theydon’t care and they will stand in themiddle of the road and you can waitfor them,” the frustrated Winterssays.

Observatory Lower Main Road islined with restaurants and bars, at-tracting hundreds of patrons whoflock to the area to enjoy the nightlife the suburb has to offer.

However, according to certain

residents, 80% of the patrons arestudents “who do not know how tocontrol themselves”.

Elana Hayden, another concernedresident, adds that the “students”are usually the ones seeking theservices of the metered taxis, due totheir “uncontrollable drinking hab-its”. “Believe it or not, but these stu-dents turn these metered taxis intovultures, and that is when all thesetaxi problems occur. And they don’tactually care what they have to do,but they will get their passengers,”says Hayden. She once spent threehours in the Lower Main Road ob-serving these taxis breaking law af-ter law, chasing after passengers inthe road.

“Some of these taxis raced up oneway roads after potential custom-ers, and even forced cars using theroad correctly, to move out of theway, and they showed absolutely nomercy,” says Hayden, amazed.

Andrew Fife, chairman of the Ob-servatory Business Forum, con-firmed that plans to introduce a me-tered taxi rank, were “in discus-

sion”.“We are very aware of the con-

cerns around these metered taxis,because they park anywhere andeverywhere,” says Fife.

Fife says many of these “fly-by-night” metered taxis are mostlycausing concern from a businesspoint of view.

“Many of these taxis are not evensupposed to be operating in the ar-ea,” says Fife. However, the plansare only in the discussion phase,and prospective venues around Ob-servatory have not been discussed.

Trevor Hughes, chairman of theObservatory Civic Association(OCA), suggested that the station inObservatory would be best used forthe taxi rank. “By implementingthis rank, you will restrict these tax-is from parking on pavements andillegally in the road, and it will alsobe suitable for the passengers,” saysHughes. The OCA will host a meet-ing at the Observatory CommunityCentre on Tuesday 14 June, wherethe issue can be raised by communi-ty members.

According to Warrant Officer Si-yabulela Vukubi, spokesperson forthe Maitland Police Station, an un-known man pointed a gun at the po-lice members.

Was it art all along?TONY ROBINSON

THE Tretchikoff exhibition inthe Iziko National Gallery willat last give us a chance to makeup our own minds about one ofthe most controversial paint-ers of our time.

Until now this has been diffi-cult, because the art establish-ment has gone out of its way to in-sult the little Russian painterwho made his home in CapeTown.

The sheer venom and volume ofthe criticism was out of all pro-portion to any offence he mighthave given, and I often asked my-self why his detractors were sodetermined to put him down.

It was almost like a conspiracy.It became fashionable to mock hiswork, and not a single gallery inSouth Africa bought one of hispaintings.

His exhibitions took place inhotels and department stores out-side the sphere and influence ofthe traditional art business.

And he did give offence. He up-staged the art establishment andsold autographed prints by thetens of thousands in venues likeHarrods in London and US de-partment stores.

His exhibitions set attendancerecords which still stand todayand, as the saying goes, helaughed all the way to the bank.

Tretchikoff’s pictures becamepart of 20th century culture, and

you will see his prints on film setsand in the backgrounds on TVshows.

His craftsmanship was superb,but he was criticised for beingsentimental and kitsch.

Uttering a word in his artisticdefence was evidence of your ig-norance and bad taste.

The question is, why could thecritics not see what was so obvi-ous to the thousands who flockedto his exhibitions?

The answer is probably thatcritics are very much like the restof us – full of fashionable theories,prejudices and ideas of their ownimportance.

This was dramatically illus-trated when the French impres-

sionists burst onto the scene afterthe industrial revolution andchemistry had given them newpigments to work with, especiallychrome yellow and cobalt blue.Suddenly two of the three prima-ry colours were available in vividbrightness.

The old earth colours of themasters’ traditional pallets sud-denly looked tired.

Youngpainters began to experi-ment with light and reflections inways that had never been possi-ble before.

It was a shock to the establish-ment, and one can sympathisewith the critics.

Their education and all theirartistic references came from adarker age, and they were notequipped to face the explosion oflight and colour.

Ever since then there has beena reluctance to condemn any-thing new, and some artists havegot away with the equivalent ofmurder under the label of modernart.

Some of the finalists for Bri-tain’s Turner Prize are jokes, andothers are examples of depravity.

Picasso was a great painter, butI think that some of his later workwas like a game he played withcritics – a sort of “see-what-you-can-say-about-this” challengeand he, too, laughed all the wayto the bank.

So go along to the exhibition ofTretchikoff’s work and make upyour own mind.

Minstrels ‘one stepcloser to Bo­Kaap’VERNA VAN DIEMEN

A BID to restore the tradition of hav-ing all minstrel troops marchthrough Bo-Kaap and cementing thecelebration of Tweede Nuwe Jaar,on2January, isonestepcloser tobe-ing realised.

The Western Cape Provincial Gov-ernment withdrew as second applicantfrom the case on Tuesday 10 May, andthe City of Cape Town is two months’late in filing opposing papers.

The Bo-Kaap Civic Association andthe Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Asso-ciation (CTMCA) lodged the applica-tion with the Western Cape High Courton Friday 31 December 2010 against theCity of Cape Town and the province.

The associations have applied tohave the traditional walk through Bo-Kaap by all minstrel groups reinstatedto ensure that Tweede Nuwe Jaar andthe 31 December celebrations are insti-tutionalised.

They challenged the City’s Events

Bylaw as unconstitutional, allegingthat the City violated “the fundamentalrights of the Cape Malay and colouredpopulation groups to participate in andcelebrate cultural activities”.

At present, only minstrel troops fromBo-Kaap are allowed to walk throughthe area.

Greg Wagner, media liaison officerfor Cultural Affairs and Sport MEC,Ivan Meyer, says the province was ad-vised by its legal team to not oppose theapplication, but to submit explanatoryaffidavits in support of the City.

Seehaam Samaai, the lawyer repre-senting the Bo-Kaap Civic Associationand the CTMCA, says the withdrawalfrom the case means that the provincewill have to abide by any decisionsmade by the court when the case isheard.

The City, says Samaai, is twomonths’ late with filing opposing pa-pers, for which an extension was grant-ed in February.

“We gave the City an extension butthere are still no opposing papers fromthem,” she says.

The City says its advocates are draft-ing answering affidavits, and they willbe filed “in due course”, according toyspokesperson, Kylie Hatton

Samaai says she will approach thecourts for a date, and if no opposing pa-pers are filed, the City and the provincewill have to abide by the court rulings.

Osman Shaboodien, chairperson ofthe Bo-Kaap Civic Association, says:“We are saying that the City and theprovince have made decisions aboutthe minstrels without consulting them,and that is not right.”

“For 150 years the minstrels havewalked through the Bo-Kaap. Who de-cides what is and what is not tradition?What if they decide tomorrow thatChristmas should be held on the 27th?”he asks.

Thousands of minstrels took to thestreets earlier this year after the Cityrefused to allow themtomarch throughthe streets of Cape Town on Monday 3January, as Tweede Nuwe Jaar fell onSunday 2 January.

They were told by the City to consid-er marching on Sunday instead, be-cause it would not be practical to stagean event of such magnitude on a Mon-day, when many people return to workafter the holidays (“Minstrels soundtrumpet on City”, People’s Post, 11 Jan-uary). Kevin Momberg, CEO of CTM-CA, says: “We’re happy about the prov-ince’s decision to withdraw.”

Empty cotsFOUR babies died during National ChildProtection Week – two at a Manenberg Clin-ic and two more at a Pinelands foster home.

This tragic account is four deaths toomany for the infants’ families, communitiesand society as a whole.

The two babies who died at the clinic, diedon International Children’s Day (Wednes-day June 1).

The next day (Thursday June 2) two moreinfants who shared a cot in a foster homedied within 45 minutes of each other.

One of the mothers of the babies who diedat the foster home is reportedly a drug user.

This was the third baby that had been tak-en away from her and placed in safe carewhere, ironically, it died.

While questions are levelled at the fosterhome, the responsibility extends further;foremost with the child’s mother, who hadtwo more children, despite being unable tocare for herself, let alone children.

In 1994 when the president declared thathealth care for pregnant women and chil-dren under the age of six would be free, thisnoble move unwittingly opened a “Pando-ra’s box”.

Yes, government provided educationaround women’s health issues such as fami-ly planning, safer sex, how to prevent thespread of HIV and Aids and its PreventingMother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT)programme for HIV-positive pregnant wom-en.

But the dissemination of knowledge isjust the beginning of a communication proc-ess, the success of which ultimately restswith the receivers of that information, whomay choose to interpret this information totheir selfish advantage.

Proof lies in the countless unwanted preg-nancies and innocent babies who end up infoster homes, when where they truly belongis in a loving, nurturing home created bytheir own families.

How to hold them accountable?TRULY, democracy is about holdingelected representatives accountable. Butrather than will, the question must read,how should voters hold elected represent-atives accountable in a representative de-mocracy?

The essence of elections in representa-tive democracies is that voters surrendertheir right to rule to the elected represent-ative.

Once elected, the voter cannot dismissthe representative but at the next elec-tions.

The voter or taxpayer cannot dock theelected representative’s R30 000-plusmonthly public salary, which over fiveyears adds up to a nice sum.

To hold elected representatives ac-countable, there must be accountabilitymeasures in place. Representative de-mocracy has no accountability measuresother than that being exercised by thecandidate’s political party.

Schumpeter argues in “Capitalism, So-cialism and Democracy” that democracyis merely a method whereby personscompete for the office of government.

Once elected to government office, theycan govern as they like.

This is not democracy, but how repre-sentative democracy manifests.

Citizen participation is the key to truedemocracy.

But citizen participation can only be ef-fective if citizens are able to influence thedecisions of elected political representa-tives.

It is of no use for citizens to participatein public surveys, meetings, hearings,consultations and other forums, andtheir ideas and proposals are not consid-ered during the decision-making process.

In fact, citizen participation can be apublic relations exercise.

Government or the elected representa-tive has already taken the decision some-where, and the participation process ismerely to sanction the decision.

Citizen participation can only be effec-tive if citizens are truly empowered in theprocess.

So how should we hold our elected po-litical representative accountable?

I would suggest that we enter into a so-cial pact or social contract, to borrow anidea from Jean Jacques Rousseau, withour elected representatives and rulingparties.

The contract need only specify the min-imum accountability measures, but atleast voters will be able to hold their elect-ed representatives accountable at theminimum.

So what do you think?PETER MARTINRetreat

Take chargeof the areaI NEED to know why nothing is done aboutthe illegal advertising on council property.

On electric poles and electric boxes oncorners, there is illegal advertising such asthose for abortion by foreign doctors.

These people are messing up our beauti-

Queens Park Sports Field is becoming amess, with people walking their dogs andnot picking up the dogs’ poo.

Another problem is some dogs are a dan-ger for those who exercise, because someowners see fit to let their dogs be withouta leash. We need the police to make regularturns, and these people must be fined.DA SUPPORTERSalt River

. Can someone or the City of Cape Townplease do something about these beggars inCape Town’s streets? They are becoming a bignuisance and terrifying the tourists.

In response. Bring back the death penalty for murder

and rape. Jonathan Bouwer. To the person who sent in a notice about

home loans, I agree it’s true! And just pay lateand they’re on your case.

Politics. Cosatu closed down hundreds of clothing

factories because of affirmative action poli-cies, and now millions of pension fund havebeen lost. What next, Tony?

. Stop complaining about the ANC and letthe DA deliver with their male cabinet. LeaveJuJu alone, carry on with your own racist par-ty. PMS, Qaba

Election waste. Voting is finished, now the posters lie

around.Housing issues. The poor want free houses and free rates

from the government. Do they realise that we,the working people who already struggle tosurvive, have to fork out for that too? Don’t

they realise that nothing is for free, or do theyjust not care? . Regarding service delivery:why must we give houses? It is time for theANC government to stop blaming apartheid,whites, and everything else, and begin to giveback. You have ruined a beautiful country,Madiba must be so ashamed of you.

. Backyard and shack dwellers have nofood, clothing, money, work or adequate shel-ter yet they have small babies. What a crimeagainst humanity! It is a choice you’re mak-ing. The state should not help you.

. I’ve got a better one. Why do we have topay someone else and thebond to ownahouse?And then they dictate what one cannot do onone’s own property, for example the pre-scribed height of your front boundary wall?

Overweight troops. Youngsfield’s overweight women troops

are a laughing stock and disgrace. They canbe used as cannon fodder in time of war. Bringback the baby boomer generation, who werebattle-hardened border troops. Wala!

Consumer troubles. Telkom 8ta sent my friend a contract

phone without telling her she had a choice ofa Blackberry, and on top of that the six-pagecontract is illegibly small.

HEALTH MINISTER Dr Aaron Motsoale-di has lost weight through healthy life-style choices and recently encouraged

fellow Members of Parliament to followhis example by cutting down on fattyfoods and picking up on exercise. Our

cartoonist has come up with a manual ofexercises that parliamentarians mayadapt to quite easily.

Boxing fundi punches for amateursBRIAN GAFFNEY

RENOWNED referee, EddieMarshall, is on a mission to

promote amateur boxing inCape Town – after travelling toall corners of the globe to callthe shots in over 100 world titlefights over the past 20 years.

The bell will literally sound forMarshall’s latest venture whenthe Portland Boxing Club – ofwhich he is the chairper-son – hosts a contingent of RoyalNavy boxers in Mitchell’s Plain onFriday 10 June.

Marshall has invited several ex-perienced boxers from across thePeninsula to face the navy’s meanpunchers, as he is mindful that hisyoung charges – several of whomwill be fighting in the tourna-ment – are not ready to challengethe big guns.

“There is immense boxing tal-ent in Mitchell’s Plain, and I be-lieve this tournament will be goodfor the sport,” says Marshall, whohas boxing blood flowing throughhis veins.

Marshall (55) has been involvedin boxing for 42 years, and reignedas a SA amateur bantamweightand featherweight champion dur-ing the early 1980s.

His late father, Ernest Marshall,

and late uncle, Martin Marshall,were the WP amateur flyweightand lightweight champions re-

spectively.Thereafter, Marshall’s younger

brothers, Nathier and Rodney,

were crowned SA lightweight andlight heavyweight champions.

While knee injuries put a stop to

the boxing careers of Marshall’ssons, Elroy and Marlin, they havenot been lost to the sport.

Elroy referees professionalfights, while Marlin coaches atPortland Boxing Club.

Marshall’s penchant for contactsport has seen him become an in-ternational kickboxing referee,too. Outside the ring his love formusic makes him a sought-afterjudge for minstrel and dance com-petitions – thanks to his rich mu-sical background that includesballroom dancing and stints as asaxophonist with popular dancebands.

Marshall who has refereed inall divisions in South America,Europe, Australia, Africa and theUSA, says he has encountered noscary experiences at the hands ofirate boxers or spectators duringhis career. He, however, recallsone unforgettable and hilariousmoment when he reached theknockdown count of seven andthe groggy boxer mumbled fromthe canvas “eight, nine, ten”.

. The tournament at the Port-land Indoor Centre, which will in-clude senior and youth boxers,starts at 18:00 on Friday.

Another tournament involvingthe navy boxers will take place atthe Wynberg Military Base on Sat-urday 18 June.

Coetzee plots to counter vengeful BullsTASMIN CUPIDO

A ROCK-SOLID de-fence, something the

DHL Stormers have pridedthemselves on for the pasttwo Super Rugby seasons,will be needed when themen from the Cape take onthe Vodacom Bulls at DHLNewlands on Saturday.

And with the side only con-ceding 13 tries this season,Allister Coetzee and hiscoaching team will be hopingthe match, a traditionalNorth vs South derby, will bea replica of the performancesthroughout this season.

With the team coming off afour-week tour of Austrakiaand New Zealand, in whichthey won three of their fourmatches, Coetzee will be hop-ing the long trek from DownUnder will not play any rolefor his charges. He will alsobe hoping his team can repli-cate the performance theydisplayed against the Mel-bourne Rebels in the lastgame of their tour on Friday.

The Stormers finished 40-3victors, securing a much-needed four-try bonus pointand further cementing their

hopes of getting a home semi-final later this month.

And despite injuries to keyplayers, the men in navy-blue-and-white showed thedepth of the squad, as theycompletely annihilated Stir-ling Mortlock’s men.

The young flyhalf, KurtColeman, impressed not onlywith his general play andball distribution, but also hisplace kicking, with a near-perfect record for the match.

He was also assisted wellby Jean de Villiers, while re-placement hooker, DeonFourie again impressed withhis general and set play. Butthe injury woes of the teammay continue, as flyhalf Pe-terGrant, front rowerCJvander Linde and scrumhalf De-waldt Duvenhage remaindoubtful for the Bulls clash.Fitness assessments wereconducted on all three play-ers yesterday, and the re-sults will be revealed laterthis week.

The last time the two sidesmet, it was the Stormers whoended victorious, with a 23-13 win at Loftus Versveld.

The Bulls are likely tostick to their pattern of for-ward play, while the Storm-

ers would do themselves a fa-vour by running the ballfrom side to side to ensure avictory.

Interesting battles includethose between the lock pair-ings of Reinard Elstadt andAndries Bekker, and VictorMatfield and Bakkies Botha(Bulls), as well as the battlebetween the two sides’ looseforward trio.

In the backline, every-one’s eyes will most likely beglued to the clash betweenBjorn Basson (Bulls) andBrian Habana.

In the Bulls’ 23-17 win overthe Waratahs on Fridayevening, Basson equalledHabana’s try-scoring recordfor a Super Rugby season(nine tries).

He has been impressivethroughout the season, gain-ing metres, being strong ondefence and being a fearedfigure in the Bulls team.

Habana has only recentlyshown form, and has beensomewhat of a disappoint-ment since moving to theCape.

A tight, true derby-stylematch can be expected whenthe two sides take to the fieldon Saturday.
