EPWP PROGRAMME: COMPLAINTS ARISE

Workers under fire

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

W

orkers who form part of the govern-

ments Expanded Public Works Pro-

gramme (EPWP) came under fire this

week during a sitting of subcouncil 21.

Most councillors at the meeting onWednes-

day expressed their unhappinesswith regards

to the quality of work and workmanship of

EPWP workers.

Wilma Brady, councillor for ward 17 which

includesMalibuVillage, ForestHeights, Rose-

dale, Greenfields, Kleinvlei and Eerste River,

saidwith regards to cleaningupof the commu-

nities, EPWP workers and their way of work

is a major challenge.

I have requested over and over to meet the

contractor working in ward 17 to find out if

they have a plan as to how they clean the

ward, Brady said.

According to he, the workers often only

clean certain roads. In her ward its mostly

London Way and Keerom Street. Then they

are gone. Inside the area very little work gets

done, Brady added.

She said EPWP workers get paid to work at

the end of each month but contractors dry

out the subcouncil.

EPWP workers only have one set of bags

to work with per day. I am not saying they

should fill 100 bags, but weve had several

meetings and were not getting anywhere,

Brady said.

Councillors were discussing the jobseekers

report and EPWP projects when the matter

was raised.

Rina Simons, proportional councillor,

shared Bradys sentiments. I often drive

through wards 14 and 17 and its never clean.

These workers do not do the programme

justice. The residents are complaining.

Whats worse is that the EPWP people who

clean the area often live there themselves, Si-

mons said.

Themba Honono, councillor for ward 108

which includesMfuleni, FountainVillage and

Fairdale, also had a list of issues.

In my area the streets are very dirty, espe-

cially with construction going on in the ward.

This is a health risk and Iwant to call on those

responsible to clean it up to do so, Honono

said.

Majidie Abrahams, proportional council-

lor, said if the City of Cape Town manages to

minimise illegal dumping, it will be easier to

clean up these areas.

Alta Du Toit learners Vernon Treu, Adriaan Groenewald, Zaheer Links, Micah Sisusa and Andry Cloete have challenged their school principal, Marius

Erasmus, to a cycling spinoff. They are trying to cycle for a week leading up to the Absa Cape Epic in which Erasmus will be taking part. They

aim to cover a distance of 647km, which Erasmus will be covering during the Epic in a bid to raise money for their school. Story on page 2.

Two suspects have been held,

questioned and released in con-

nection with the murder of the

Metro police officer who was

gunned down last week.

Constable Ben Koopman (53), a

father of two, was shot and killed

in front of his house in Stratford

Avenue, Devon Park in Eerste

River last week Monday.

He was dressed in uniform and

was on his way to his patrol vehi-

cle when two men approached

him in the street and attacked

him. His service pistol and hand-

held radio were stolen.

Footage about the incident

emerged this week and reported

on in the media. The video of

about 84 seconds shows how the

attack played out.

The two suspects, both dressed

inwhite T-shirts and black pants,

can be seen fleeing the scene.

Following the news of the at-

tack, a reward of R50 000 has been

offered by the City of Cape Town

for information leading to the ar-

rest of the two suspects.

Kleinvlei police spokesperson

Captain Florina Muller said two

suspects were held at Kleinvlei

for further investigation in the

case, but had to be released

again.

The matter is still being inves-

tigated.

A memorial service for the

slain officer will be held today

(Wednesday) starting at 11:00 at

the OR Tambo Hall in Khayelit-

sha.

Koopman will be laid to rest on

Saturday in Eerste River.

The first batch of matriculants at Soneike

High School were recently motivated to

reach for their dreams and encouraged to

pursue what they set their minds on.

The motivational talk was done by mem-

bers of a Cape Town based organisation,

Dream Factory.

Co-founder Laurian Nortje said Dream

Factory specifically visited SoneikeHigh as

its a brand new school and because the

school is celebrating their first year having

matriculants in its five-year existence.

Dream Factory went to visit the school

andmotivate the learners for thenewyear,

Laurian said.

Dream Factory was founded in 2011 by

Laurian and her partner, Lusanda Gwayi.

We started in 2011 and reached just over

30 000 youth in the Western Cape as well as

in KwaZulu-Natal.

The organisation also has a bursary fund

which currently sends four children to

school. We are so excited about our brand

new partnership project launching in

March in collaboration with Google, called

CS Clubs, where 10 schools will be intro-

duced to coding workshops for free, Lauri-

an said.

Dream Factory visits Soneike High School

Laurian Nortje, cofounder of the Cape Town based organisation Dream Factory, speaks to

matric learners at the Soneike High School in Kuils River during a visit to the school.

T

heAbsaCapeEpicmight be too strenu-

ous and the Tour de France a distant

dream, but for now learners at a spe-

cial school in Kuils River are taking on an

equally satisfying cycling challenge a

spin-off against their principal.

Several learners at the Alta du Toit

School took to their cycling seats and start-

ed peddling last week, challenging school

principal Marius Erasmus to a marathon

cycle.

The challenge between Erasmus and the

schools physically disabled cycling team

and other learners is also a fundraising ef-

fort to help raise money to have a tartan

track constructed at the school.

The learners will be cycling on bicycle

rollers to see if they can cover the distance

of 647kmwithin the weeks prior to the Cape

Epic, challenging the distance Erasmus

must cover during this competition this

year. The Epic takes place from 13 to 20

March. Erasmus is part of the USN team

competing in it.

The competition between the learners

and Erasmus will also coincide with the cy-

clists preparation for the Nedbank Nation-

al Games for the Physically Disabled.

By Friday 19 February the learners had

already covered 254km.

The Alta du Toit School offers tuition to

learners with special educational needs.

All of our learners are intellectually

challenged. They followanadapted curricu-

lumwhich focuses on life skills. A large per-

centage of the learners have multiple disa-

bilities including physical disabilities, ce-

rebral palsy, epilepsy and visual and

hearing impairments.

Sport is one of themost important activi-

ties at the school as it addresses many life

skills areas and in many instances gives

purpose to life, Erasmus said. The school

has 360 learners aged 6 to 18 years.

A large number of our learners reach

great heights in their sporting endeavours,

including provincial and national colours,

saidErasmus. To this end, the funds raised

through the Epic project will be allocated to

the development of the school grounds for

sport purposes, for example a 3 to 4 lane tar-

tan track for training purposes.

Readers can support the learners by spon-

soring a donation towards the project.

Learners challenge principal

School principal Marius Erasmus, who will be

taking part in the Absa Cape Epic next month,

giving his all to give the young ones a run

or in this case a cycle for their money.

n an attempt to help curb cases of assault

especially on women and children

Kuils River police are planning to take

more action against illegal shebeens operat-

ing in the area.

It is believed that shebeens and taverns

selling liquor late into the night contribute

significantly towards these crimes.

Last week Constable Tshepang Hoffman,

sector 2 commander, assured residents of

Kalkfontein and Sarepta that more will be

done to stop assaults taking place.

He was addressing a group of about 25

people at the sector 2 crime forum meeting

held at Kalkfontein Primary School last

week Thursday when he spoke of more

raids planned for these illegal establish-

ments.

Assault cases are still amajor concern for

the police who received a reported 32 cases

in January.

Assault with the intent to do grievous

bodily harm of which there were 19 report-

ed cases for January, Hoffman said, mostly

occur in Kalkfontein followed by Sarepta.

Most assaults occur over weekends and

are mostly caused by an abuse of liquor,

Hoffman said.

He said the police are now looking at in-

creasing their raids at shebeens and closing

them over weekends.

We are looking at overcoming this is-

sue, he said.

Someresidents also complainedabout the

drug houses in Kalkfontein and gangs oper-

ating in the area while others complained

about thugs harassing and robbing people

especially when on their way to work.

Other issues highlighted at the meeting

was once again the lack of police visibility

and shortage of staff on duty during shifts.

In hismonthly crime report Hoffman also

gave an overviewof crime, the commonare-

as in which it occurs and the days it occurs

most.

In it, he mentioned that just one murder

was reported in the sector for January as

well as one incident of rape and attempted

rape.

A total of 19 robberies were reported

along with 13 cases of malicious damage to

property and 19 housebreakings in sector 2,

which includes Kalkfontein, Sarepta, Ma-

bille Park and Brantwood.

Sector chairman Martin Burke encour-

aged residents to attend the sectormeetings

held each month.

The next sector meeting takes place on

Thursday 17 March and all residents are

welcome to attend.

A

n avid nature conservationist and

Miss Earth South Africa ambassador

Andrea von Gunten, originally from

Durbanville, is planning to cycle 109km in

the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour to col-

lect one tree per kilometre covered.

Andrea, who attended primary and high

school in Durbanville, now lives in Kenil-

worth and challenges cyclists and support-

ers to donate or sponsor a tree for this cause.

Thiswill bemy third Argus that Im rid-

ing and I thought instead of just riding it,

why not ride it for a cause, she says.

All the trees will be planted at schools in

underprivileged communities, community

centres, old age homes or any place in the

Western Cape that needs greening and up-

liftment.

This project is about bringing communi-

ties and people together and I want to be an

example that you can take any ordinary

event and turn it into something extraordi-

nary. Small initiatives like this can turn into

something great and thats what I hope to

achieve with this, she says.

She will be cycling with her father, Peter

von Gunten, and her sister, Melanie. My

dad has always been my inspiration as this

is his 15th Cape Town Cycle Tour. He is the

reason my sister and I are cycling today.

Only indigenous trees such as Wild Olive,

Grevias, Virgilia Oroboides and fruit trees

will be suitable. Suggestions of schools or or-

ganisations that are in need of greening are

also welcome.

V For more details, call Andrea on 084 017 5507.

R

esidents in the Esibaneni informal

settlement in Mfuleni have been

warned not to take the law into their

ownhands, but rather report criminal cases

to the police.

A public participation meeting was held

in the area last week where residents were

warned not to participate in mob justice.

Captain Nomathemba Muavha, Mfuleni

police spokesperson who chaired the meet-

ing, said about 85 people attended the meet-

ing on Wednesday which was held on an

open piece of land in Ntendane Street.

Theywere informed that the policewere

there to hear how they experience our ser-

vice and also to find out how the police can

serve them better, Muavha said.

A crime overview for the area for Janu-

ary and February was also given.

The residents made mention that they

have a problem with crime in their area.

From 02:00 in the morning their houses

are broken into and their belongings are

stolen. They complained about poor re-

sponse time by the police and urged us to

patrol the area, Muavha said.

The community was urged to continue to

report criminal activity in their area, and

not take matters into their own hands.

They were made aware that when they

report cases, those statistics speak to the

province, national office and the govern-

ment. They were warned against taking the

law into their hands, as that is a crime in

itself. The residents were also told that two

wrongs never make a right, Muavha said.

Muavha gave the assurance that, should

there be sufficient evidence against a per-

son for having a hand in the mob justice

which led to the death of another person,

that personwill be arrestedandwill face the

wrath of the law.

Public warned

againstmob justice

Parents of small children in Mfuleni have

been encouraged to enrol their children in

daycare centres rather than locking them

up and leaving them alone at home.

This word of advice was given to parents

by the local police during a visit to one of

the daycare centres in the area last week.

Mfuleni police officials were addressing

parents at the Jabulani Daycare Centre in

the Bardale informal settlement on Friday

where they alsowarned parents not to leave

the children in the care of their siblings.

When the children are at crche, it mini-

mises the risks of themgoingmissing, said

police spokesperson Captain Nomathemba

Muavha.

The Jabulani Daycare Centre has 44 chil-

dren aged three months to five years.

Ntombekhaya Sifuba, owner of the new

crche, said she noticed many children on

the streets who are left unattended and de-

cided to use her home and start a crche.

Sifuba, who loves children, went on to

study Early Childhood Development which

made it easier for her to start the crche.

She also often helps mothers who have to

leave their children for a day when they

have to attend job interviews.

The police visited her (Sifuba) and hand-

ed over some toys, books to read, puzzles

and blankets. We also had a talk on safety,

Muavha said.

The daycare centre is still in need of cots,

tables and chairs.

Residents should get water wise

C

ity of Cape Town mayor, Patricia de

Lille,wantedmore thanbirthdaywish-

es last week when she visited the Sto-

dels Garden Centre in Kenilworth she de-

manded water wisdom.

There was a buzz at the busy centre last

Wednesdaywhen she arrived and customers

welcomed her by singing happy birthday

with gusto, but there was a serious side to

her visit.

The visit in Kenilworth was to promote

water wise gardening, an initiative by the

City that will see water saving ambassa-

dors employed in all garden centres around

theWestern Cape to help customers learn to

save water and reduce their water bills.

With dams currently at 42%, environmen-

tal awareness is at the top of the mayors

agenda in terms of water saving after the an-

nouncement of Level 2 water restrictions in

December last year with a concomitant 20%

increase in the water price.

De Lille feels now is the time to kick-start

anactionplan to savewater, startingby talk-

ing to gardeners about waterwise garden-

ing. During this informal visit she chatted

to customers about water wise gardening

and promoted ways to save water not just

for the Western Cape and South Africa, but

also for the planet.

This waterwise initiative is considered a

partnership between the City of Cape Town

and Stodels Nurseries.

The mayor also used her visit to highlight

some important strategies.

It is vital that we start changing peoples

behaviour in terms of water usage and edu-

cating themabout globalwarming, the rami-

fications of water shortages such as in-

creased food and water prices and the very

real possibility that if we dont reduce water

consumption, this resource could run out.

People must be informed of the current

water restrictions, the reasons they have

been put in place and the importance of ad-

hering to them, she said.

Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries, was

delighted the mayor chose Stodels as the

venue for this drive about water saving and

waterwise gardening, which is also high on

his agenda.

As part of this water saving programme

the Expanded Public Works Programme

(EPWP) at the City is utilising unemployed

citizens to act as water saving ambassadors

within various garden centres in the West-

ern Cape.

The EPWP has a large database of unem-

ployed people and any subcouncil can enlist

them to carry out short term work.

Stodels Nurseries has been running a

campaign since the beginning of February

to educate gardeners about waterwise gar-

dening including the use of waterwise

plants, water saving granules, mulching to

stop evaporation, adaptinggardens to the ex-

istingwater restrictions and generally offer-

ing tips about savingwater andmaintaining

a beautiful garden.

Thewater restrictions are set to continue

and it is up to each of us to contribute to a

reduction in consumption not only to save

on water bills, but to save this precious re-

source and our planet, explained De Lille.

T

he police are investigating an explo-

sion in Blackheath which rocked a su-

permarket last week.

The explosion at the Austinville Super-

market in Vineyard Road, was the second

similar incident to hit the store.

Last year the FNB ATM inside the store

was targeted. The ATM was replaced by a

Capitec ATM.

On Monday Kleinvlei police spokesper-

son Captain Florina Muller said this ma-

chinewas also destroyed in the latest explo-

sion during a suspected burglary. The inci-

dent occurred in the early hours of Friday

19 February at about 02:00.

Four unknown suspects fled from the

scene moments before the police arrived,

Muller said. An unknown amount of cash

was stolen as well as cash from the tills.

The ATM machine inside the store was

bombed. The suspects gained access

through the front door using a crow bar,

Muller said.No suspects have been arrested

and a case of burglary and malicious dam-

age to property has been opened.

The case has been transferred to the Di-

rectorate for Priority Crime Investigation

(DPCI) for further investigation. In Septem-

ber 2014 the same store was also robbed by

six armed men.

TygerBurger reported on the event in

whichanundisclosed amount ofmoneywas

stolen from the premises.

No shots were fired during the attack and

no one was injured.

A Wesbank teenager was arrested over the

weekend after the police found a home-

made gun in his possession.

Mfuleni police spokesperson Captain No-

mathemba Muavha said on Monday the

teenager (19) was arrested after he started

acting suspiciously.

A black home-made firearm with two

live rounds was found in possession of the

teenager who started to act strangely when

the police approached him in Westering

Street, Wesbank.

The suspect was arrested and charged

with the possession of a prohibited firearm

and illegal ammunition, Muavha said.

The police requested the community to

come forward with information that could

assist them in apprehending suspects that

have illegal or unlicensed firearms in their

possession, Muavha said.

There will be a monetary reward should

the police find the firearm and successfully

arrest the suspect, Muavha explains.

Apart from this arrest the police also

managed to arrest a further 26 suspects on

various other charges.

Muavha said several operations were

held to apprehend these suspects. The char-

ges vary between theft, assault, drunk driv-

ing, the possession of dangerous weapons,

the possession of prohibited firearms, do-

mestic violence and the possession of drugs.

Celebration starts with cycling trip

Roslyn Street was a hive of activity on Monday morning from where the cyclists and their

support crew started their journey.

DESIRE RORKE

O

n Monday morning seven robust cy-

clists took to the road in Brackenfell

to end in Oudtshoorn next week after

a gruelling 470km journey.

Joining the cyclists from the Mountain

View Cycling Club from Goodwood Correc-

tional Services is Jody Adams, a youngman

with Down Syndrome.

Their mission: to raise money for the

cause and celebrate 40 years of awareness of

this condition in the Western Cape.

TheDownSyndromeAssociationWestern

Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to pro-

vide support and services to people with

Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-

tellectual disabilities, and their families.

Our programmes are aimed at improving

their quality of life in order to help them find

their purpose in life. We want people with

DS to develop to their full potential to take

their rightful place in society as independ-

ent and valued citizens, says organisation

spokesperson Liza Rossouw.

For the past 16 years DSAWC has been the

beneficiary of the money raised by the

Mountain View Cycling Club on their annu-

al cycle tour to Oudtshoorn.

The group of 10, which includes support

staff, will stop at various towns along the

route to create awareness for DS.

This is done through visits to schools,

churches and corporates along theway,who

all participate and support this event.

An aspiring singer in his own right, Jody

will be singing at some of the schools they

visit.

This year is a very special year for

DSAWCaswe are celebrating our 40th birth-

day. The cycle tour will be the first of many

events during the year.Wewant to thank all

the schools, businesses and individuals who

have participated over the past 16 years.

Without your support the success of this an-

nual cycle tour would not be possible. And

of course we also want to thank the Moun-

tain View Cycle Club for their commitment

and continuous support with this annual

event.

Rossouw invites the public to participate

and join in the 40-year celebrations through-

out this year.

As jy nog nie die pantomime, Liewe Heksie:

Flower Power, gekyk het nie of dalkweerwil

kyk omdat dit eenvoudig fantastiese ver-

maak is, is dit nou jou kans! Dit word in

Maart as deel van die Woordfees op Stellen-

bosch opgevoer en dit beloof om jou met n

glimlag te laat wat van oor tot oor strek.

Toe dit verlede jaar vir die eerste keer op

die planke gebring is, is die akteurs elke

aand met n staande ovasie toegejuig.

Lof het uit alle oorde ingestroom, ook van

mede-akteurs en kunstenaars. Die produk-

sie is ook vir vier Fista-toekennings be-

noem. Liewe Heksie: Flower Power was

amazing! Soos omna n produksie inLonden

te kyk in die West End, maar in Afrikaans!

Die show het die kind binne my, die groot-

mens buite my en die performer in my, alles

bymekaar gebring. Ek het lanklaas so happy

by n show uitgestap! 10 uit 10, het die san-

ger Jak de Priester ges. Die aktrise en ko-

mediant Marion Holm het die volgende

kwytgeraak: Ek het s lekker gelag enmy-

self s geniet dat ek vanoggend sommer in

n spesiale goeie bui wakker geword het.

VolgensMargitMeyer-Rdenbeck,wat die

rol van Liewe Heksie vertolk, was die pu-

bliek se terugvoer oor die pantomime n

riem onder die hart. Party mense het weer

en weer teruggekom. n Mens sien elke keer

iets anders raak en lag opnuut vir die slim

teks en lawwe karakters.

V Liewe Heksie: Flower Power word op 5 Maart om

09:00 en 12:00, 12 Maart om 09:00 en 12:00 en 13

Maart om 11:00 in die Stellenboschstadsaal opge

voer. Bespreek by Computicket.

LieweHeksie: Flower Power weer kyk werd

Geraldina die Geelheks, gespeel deur Loukmaan

Adams, was een van die groot treffers tydens

die vorige speelvak ... en wie kan nou nie lief

wees vir ons eie Liewe Heksie (Margit Meyer

Rdenbeck) nie.

On 19 January between 8:00

and 8:30, my son was travelling

from Bellville to Durbanville.

He must have dropped his

wallet in the taxi without

realising it.

Mavis Billy noticed it on the

seat and decided not to give it

to the taxi driver or the sliding

door operator, saying she

didnt know in whose hands it

may end up.

His ID book, two bank cards

and motorbike licence together

with some cash (not a lot) were

in his wallet.

She took the initiative to call

the bank and quote the num-

ber on the card.

Someone from ABSA found

my information on the system

as his guardian and called me.

I was shocked when she

asked me whether I knew him,

because immediately I thought

something must have happened

to my son.

She gave me Mrs Billys

number and we fetched the

wallet in Nyanga the afternoon

with everything still in there.

We really want to thank Mrs

Billy for her honesty.

South Africa, there is still

hope for us with honest people

like her in our country.

is dat daar destyds in Parow in

die 1940s tot laat 1950s n

kraaminrigting met die naam

van Amoria Nursing Home

was. In watter straat en omge-

wing dit was, weet ons nie.

Ek (1949) en my neef, Johan

(1950), is daar gebore. Nog

iemand het na vore gekom en

Maak jou hart

skoonouers

D

aar is n sekere groep mense wat

diegene wat aan hul genade oorgele-

wer is, telkens reg bo-op die sny-

kant van die swaard laat, sonder dat jy

daar wil afklim. Di spesie het n naam;

hulle heet skoonmense.

Dis nie die oorneem van ouerlike pligte

in die teenwoordigheid van genoemde

ouer/s as dit by hul kleinkinders kom,

wat n mens moedeloos laat nie. Dis ook

nie die inmenging in besluite (wat hulle

eintlik op gn manier benvloed nie) wat

jou wrokkig laat nie.

Ja, jy kn seker vir skoonma vergewe

dat sy die heeldag suur gelyk het op jul

troudag; jy s die beter mens, oortuig jy

jouself.

Jys die een wat n werkbare, blywende

oplossing soek wat almal sal pas, en

sonder enige leedgevoelens sal laat. (Ook

die kleinkinders j kinders wat glo

hulle kan met moord wegkom en jy kan

nks daaromtrent doen nie, want Ouma

en Oupa gaan jou

besluite in elk

geval veto.)

Maar as jy dit

ontken, maak dit

jou briesend kwaad

as jy oor jou

frustrasie wil

praat, en hulle

bloot stilbly en

eenkant toe kyk as

jy die onderwerp

probeer ophaal.

Dan, kort daarna,

kla jy oor nog n

skoonouer-voorval

teenoor n kollega.

Die gesprek raak n algemene een waar jy

en die kollega vir die ander kollegas sit

en wag om jul weeklikse vergadering

klaar te kry. Dan hoor di kollegas die

trant van die gesprek, en kort voor lank

begin jou perspektief spreukbeurt vir

spreukbeurt te verander...

Daar is n stel skoonouers wat leef,

hoor ons, wat hul kleinkind ses jaar laas

gesien het. Di kleinkind is agt jaar oud,

en sy ouma het sy hare n oomblik lank

deurmekaar gevryf by n begrafnis waar

sy hom toevallig raakgeloop het.

maand aan een of ander skoonouerprojek

deurgestuur moet word. Die een wat

binnekort gaan trou, vertel hoe haar

toekomstige skoonma vir haar klere vir

n familietroue kom uitkies het, want sy

mag niks aantrek wat haar pragtige

tatoes sou afwys nie. Daar is ook die

skoonouer wat haar mishandelende seun

bygestaan het toe di haar skoondogter

verneuk het mt die skoondogter se

suster. En soos jy luister, dink jy: Bly

date the new raised road

surface, and the way in which

it was reinstalled.

This manhole cover is part of

the main sewerage system in

the area. During the removal

not much care was taken to

prevent pieces of brick and

mortar from falling into the

pipe system.

My main concern is the

manner in which the heavy

cast-iron manhole frame was

reinstalled. The frame was

precariously balanced on lumps

of asphalt to maintain the final

finished height for the final

finished road level. The new

asphalt was cast around the

cast-iron manhole frame and

tamped into place to hold the

manhole in place. No cement,

concrete or brick was used at

any time.

It is my opinion, with the

continuous use of the road by

much traffic, both heavy and

light, the pieces of asphalt

holding the manhole cover in

place will soon crumble and the

manhole will collapse, creating

a hazardous road surface. Also

the amount of debris now

constantly falling into the

system will lead to complicated

blockages of the sewerage

system.

I have not directed this letter

to the municipality or the City

of Cape Town, but am airing

this concern publicly as a form

of protest as to the quality of

subcontractors that are render-

ing a service to the municipali-

ty.

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

T

here seems to be no satisfactory an-

swers when it comes to money simply

disappearing from the accounts of Sas-

sa beneficiaries.

Every week TygerBurger and our sister

publications receive numerous complaints

from the public about money that mysteri-

ously finds its way out of their accounts.

While the amounts that disappear might

not sound likemuch, they are certainly a big

chunk out of the budgets of the elderly and

other vulnerable people who receive these

grants.

In one of themost recent cases, R280 disap-

peared from the account of an elderly man

from Bellville. He and his wife are in their

70s. Hiswife phonedTygerBurger in a panic,

as this amount was part of their meagre

monthly grocery budget.

The woman complained that, not only

were they treated poorly by the staff at the

Sassa branch in Bellville, but they were also

questioned about the probability that the

money might have gone to airtime purchas-

es. The couple do not own cellphones.

My husband sat there from 08:00 that

morning until 15:00, but they could not give

him any answers. They treated him like a

pig as if he were uneducated and poverty-

stricken, she said.

The woman behind the counter asked

him if he had bought airtime. He said no, he

didnt own a cellphone. Then she wanted to

know if he had bought electricity, and he

said no. We do not buy electricity using our

Sassa cards.

Every month we draw our full pension

and put the money into a little bag. Then we

work from that bag as we needmoney. I can-

not believe people would steal from us like

this.

Bellville police confirmed fraud cases

were being opened against Sassa.

Yes, there is money disappearing from

Sassa accounts. Yesterday (last Thursday) we

opened three cases of fraud made by elderly

people, said Bellville police spokesperson

Major Fienie Nimb.

The allegation is that money had been tak-

en from their Sassa account that they had not

given permission for, such as for airtime,

she said.

Any person who has received confirma-

tion from Sassa that money had been taken

from their account, without their permission,

can open a case at their nearest police station

for investigation.

No control

Sassa Western Cape spokesperson Shivani

Wahab said they were aware of money being

taken via electronic fund transfers (EFTs),

but that they had no control over what hap-

pens to grants once deposited.

Contractor Cash Paymaster Services (CPS)

handles these deposits.

Once themoney is deposited into the card,

Sassa has no control over how the money is

utilised.

She said that the card system meant EFT

debits could take place, but that these could

technically only take place after the money

has left Sassas hands, and payment has al-

ready occurred.

The only deduction which can take place

before the social grant is paid, is a deduction

for funeral policy premiums, on request of the

beneficiary, in terms of Regulation 26A of the

Social Assistance Act, 2004, she said.

Sassa is aware of the numerousEFTdebits

which are taking place, and has instituted a

number of actions, together with the Depart-

ment of Social Development (DSD), she said.

This includes a task team to investigate

how to protect beneficiaries from being ex-

ploited.

Many of the EFT debits are in fact not ille-

gal if itwere so, itwouldbe relatively easy

to stop the activity. However, the actions

are certainly immoral andnot supported in

any way by either the DSD or Sassa, Wa-

hab said.

She added there was a dispute resolution

mechanism in place to deal with the proc-

esses Sassa staff can follow to help grantees

when unauthorised EFT debits occur.

All social grant beneficiaries are sus-

ceptible to ... marketing of financial prod-

ucts, not only the elderly.Wehave received

numerous complaints fromcaregiverswho

receive the child support grant who have

also experienced this challenge, she said.

Sassa is doing everything it can to en-

sure that any social grant beneficiary who

complains about EFT debits off their social

grant is promptly assisted.

She said beneficiaries should not make

any financial commitments by responding

to cellphone marketing that encourages

them to key in numbers, or to agree tele-

phonically for the purchase of products.

Beneficiaries should also avoid taking

loans or policies, especially where they do

not understand the terms of the repay-

ments, she said.

Call Sassa helpline

She added beneficiaries should not use

their Sassa card as security to loans, re-

spond to cellphone SMSes offering prod-

ucts such as airtime, electricity and other

financial products, or authorise any deduc-

tions except for the single legislative and

Sassa approved funeral policy that

shouldnt exceed 10% of the entire grant

value.

To see the money being eroded through

financial service providers whose purpose

is financial gain, is extremely concerning.

V Beneficiaries can call the Sassa helpline on

0800 60 10 11, and should not go directly to CPS

or Grindrod Bank.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

S

ome 52 000 counterfeit

DVDs and CDs were de-

stroyed in Brackenfell on

Friday by the Films and Publica-

tion Board (FPB).

The confiscated goods, con-

nected to 46 criminal cases, were

accumulated in the Western

Cape over a period of about four

months. Piles and piles of coun-

terfeit goods were manually fed

into a heavy-duty shredder in

Brackengate Industrial Park.

In an interview with Tyger-

Burger, the FPB regional coordi-

nator for Cape Town, Clive Bor-

man, explained the detrimental

affect the counterfeitmarket has

on the film and entertainment

industry.

The industry losesmillionsof

rand annually. The goods being

destroyedhere today account for

a R5 million loss; we do this

quarterly, he said.

Take for instance the latest Le-

on Schuster film, Schuks! Pay

Back The Money!

Before the movie was re-

leased in 2015, there were literal-

ly hundreds of pirated copies

available on street corners in

Cape Town for between R10 and

R20 a copy. Due to the extent of

the big scale piracy, local pro-

ducers, actors, artists and em-

ployees involved in the produc-

tion of this film suffered losses,

he says.

Why would consumers pay

R200 for themovie at sayMusica

or up to R55 to view the movie

only once at the cinema? And

therein lies the problem, says

Borman.

As long as there is a demand,

the unending supply will con-

tinue, costing the industry bil-

lions. The same applies to the

countless video shops that have

closed down in Cape Town in

recent years. Consumers

wont pay to hire it if they can

own it for half the price.

Sadly, the economic ramifi-

cations on the country in terms

of job losses are devastating.

In recent years, says Bor-

man, the majority of perpetra-

tors selling pirated material

were foreigners coming into

South Africa looking to make a

quick buck.

Although the FPB has its

own compliance unit, they

dont have arresting rights,

saysBorman, and therefor they

have to work in joint opera-

tions with the police and Cape

Town law enforcement units.

Counterfeiters will down-

load the movie from the inter-

net and go into mass produc-

tion at so-called counterfeit

production houses around the

city.

Its during clampdownoper-

ations at these houses where

the counterfeit items are con-

fiscated.

In terms of the Counterfeit

Goods Act perpetrators are

fined up to R5000 per item or a

prison term for three years, or

both. In the case of second or

third convictions, the fine in re-

spect of each item can be up to

R10 000 or five years imprison-

ment.

P

roperty owners will now

be able to view the latest

valuation for 2015 of their

property.

The City of Cape Town has

completed the General Valua-

tion Roll (GVR) for 2015 and it

was published on its website

last Friday.

According to a media release

by the City, property owners

will soon receive an official no-

tice in the post or via email, ad-

vising them of the 2015 valua-

tion of their property or proper-

ties.

The City produces a GVR

once every three years.

The percentage increase or

decreaseon thevalueof apartic-

ular property or properties

does, however, not necessarily

equate to the percentage in-

crease or decrease in future

rates payments, IanNeilson, the

Citys executive deputy mayor

said.

The Citys GVR is based en-

tirely on the market value on 1

August 2015. The City Valuer

makes use of a computer model-

ling programme called Comput-

erAssistedMassAppraisal (CA-

MA), which uses sales data, aer-

ial imagery and other property

information such as the proper-

tys location, size, number of

rooms, outbuildings, general

quality and property view to de-

termine the market value of a

property.

The results are then reviewed

by professional property valu-

ers and adjusted if necessary.

There is no involvement bypoli-

ticians in the determination of

property values, nor may they

be involved in dealing with any

objection to a valuation, wrote

Neilson.

Market value or not?

As the Citys GVR is based en-

tirely on the market value on

1 August 2015, for the purposes

of any objection to a valuation,

the percentage change from the

last valuation is not relevant,

nor is the impact on the rates

bill. The only consideration is

whether it is the market value

or not, Neilson continued.

The rates adjustment will be

tabled at the end ofMarch at the

start of the public participation

process on the Citys budget.

Property rates based on the

GVR for 2015 will be billed from

1 July.

As soon as the rate-in-the-

rand has been tabled, property

owners will be able to use the

rates calculator on the website

to determine the rates payable

on their property as from 1 July

this year.

Property valuations are car-

ried out regularly to ensure that

property owners pay a fair

share of the total rates income

required to operate the City,

wrote Neilson.

Property rates contribute to

various municipal services

which are for the benefit of all

residents. This includes disas-

ter management services,

roads, traffic and street lights,

and themaintenance of commu-

nity facilities and public spaces.

Property valuations are not

done to chase a surplus or to

make money out of ratepayers.

The budget needed for thesemu-

nicipal services is carefully cal-

culated and property rates con-

tribute to the budget, he wrote.

If a property owner disputes

the valuation of their property,

a well motivated objection in

which the property owner must

prove that themarket valuation

is incorrect, may be submitted

by no later than 29 April to the

City Valuer.

Objectionsmay also be lodged

via the Citys e-services or resi-

dents portal.

Property owners can view the

latest GVR for 2015 by visiting

www.capetown.gov.za/proper-

tyvaluations. They are also en-

couraged to visit the Citys pub-

lic inspection venues to view

their property valuation and to

engage with staff on the infor-

mation that the City has at its

disposal, which includes the

sales data for a particular area.

The public inspection venues

in the northern suburbs are the

conference room at the Bellville

municipal building (next to

Northlink College, opposite

Sanlam), the Brackenfell coun-

cil chambers and theminor hall

at the Parow Civic Centre.

The venues are open from

08:15 to 15:45 on week days.

valuations

now online

Police have appealed to firearm

owners to apply for renewal at least

90 days before the expiry date.

According to a statement from

national police, the purpose of re-

newing a firearm licence or permit

is todetermine if a person still com-

plies with the provisions of the

Firearms Control Act of 2000 and

the Firearms Control Regulations

in order to ensure effective control

and responsible firearm and am-

munition ownership.

All applications for the renewal

of a licence or permit to possess a

firearm are subject to the provi-

sion that the applicant must be in

possession of a valid and relevant

competency certificate. Any per-

son who wishes to renew their li-

cence to possess a firearm, to deal

in firearms, to manufacture fire-

arms or to conduct business as a

gunsmith, must at least 90 days

before the expirydate of the licence

apply for the renewal of the appli-

cable licence as well as a renewal

of the competency certificate.

Whereas some of the require-

ments are that the applicant must

be a South African citizen or a per-

manent resident, be above 21

years, be gainfully employed, and

more, it is advisable for the appli-

cant to get in touch with the desig-

nated firearm officer at their near-

est police station for clarity on any

part of the information or to visit

the SAPS website. All applicants

are required to produce a compe-

tency certificate for that category,

identity document or proof of per-

manent residency, and proof spe-

cific for that category of licence/s.

Renewal process starts

Voters participating in the upcom-

ing municipal elections will be

able to register to vote on theweek-

end of 5 and 6 March at their local

voting station between 08:00 and

17:00. The election is set to take

Koes, sister, want ons stry oor jou k

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

R

aai, raai: wat is nie regtig n

koek nie, pronk met n straat

in Kaapstad wat daarna ver-

noem is, bestaanuit variantewaar-

van een se wortels diep inMaleisi

begrawe l, en het n stropie mt

of sonder anys wat daardeur

loop?

nKoeksister, natuurlik!Of, as jy

dan nou van die Kaap is en die spe-

seryagtige een verkies, n koesis-

ter sonder die tweede k (di

heerlike eetding het immers Penz-

straat in die Bo-Kaap tot Koeksis-

ter-heuwel herdoop gekry ...)

Meeste mense wat enigiets van

nuuskantore weet, weet dat die

vreemdste s-goed uit daardie in-

ligtingsgrotte ontsnap of oor-en-

weer gegooi word. S was dit ook

toe n klomp in die TygerBurger-

kantoor op die drukspertyd oor

koeksisters begin redeneer het.

Die een van Bloemfontein wat

lief is vir kosmaak en darem sy

kardamom van sy kremetart

uitken, begin die debat deur ewe

dapper en vol selfvertroue te ver-

klaar (tussen die klomp Kape-

naars) dat daar gn verskil is nie.

En hyhaal boonop sy feite uit die

Handwoordeboek vandieAfrikaan-

se Taal aan! En selfs met opperste

opposisie, weier hy om hom van

stryk te laat bring.

Dt ontlok toe die gegons en n ge-

jeuk wat gekrap mt word: Wat is

die verskil nou eintlik tussen die

twee?

TygerBurger wend hom toe eers

tot die sosiale media.

Lionel Adendorf vat dadelik

raak: Koeksisters word gevleg, en

koesisters het anys in en word dan

in stroop gedoop en later met klap-

per bestrooi.

Jannie Hennop (toevallig ook n

Vrystater), s: Geen verskil nie

albei is watertandlekker. Meer

plaaslik stem Theresa Olivier

100% met Adendorf saam: Dis

hoe ek hom ook ken. My mond wa-

ter nou vir die koesister met anys,

in stroop gedoop en geklapper.

Petro-ann Nicholas bring n hele

nuwe dimensie tot die redenasie:

Michelle Linnert, dan is daar na-

tuurlik ook die oliebol, wat in En-

gels doughnut genoem word. Dis

sonder die anys en sy tekstuur ef-

fens sagter. Dit het baie variasies

room, custard, met klapper, son-

derklapper. Strooisuikerwordook

soms in plaas van klapper ge-

bruik. Toevallig bak Nicholas oor

naweke van die sonder-k-soort.

Moerieda Carolus en Quinton

Adams meen die een is gevleg en

word deur die tannies vir die tuis-

nywerhede gebak en die ander se

oorsprong is in ons eie kombuise,

wat eg Bo-Kaaps is, met te veel

liefde en stroop in.

Vir Kupido Baron gee die uit-

spraak die deurslag: Die uit-

spraak het te doenmet hoeveel tan-

de jy nog oorhet ... en volgensLize

Mulder: Ooee, Michelle Linnert,

by die Groenpunt-dagkliniek

waarnatoe ek my ma een keer n

maand vat, is daar koesisters soos

net n engel dit kanmaak! Jy salmy

nie met n koeksister vermaak nie,

maar met daai taai, soet anys en

klapperbolle ... Ai man, dan ver-

geet ek gerieflikheidshalwe van di-

abetes en vetrolle en alles anders!

Volgens Wilma Paulse, n gereken-

deMoslem-kok, het die koesister

met sy donkerbruin velletjie ook

speserye soos neut, kaneel en gem-

mer in. Endie gevlegtes is twistees

met nt anys, liggies gestroop en in

klapper getol.

Sy s bollas weer, is rond met

korente in en gesprinkel met ver-

siersuiker. Koeksisters is ook ge-

draai, maar amper hol binne, wat

dan in koue stroop gedoop word,

met geen klapper.

Volgens Charlene Fourie is die

verskil semanties: Koesister is

maar net streektaal, soos vadoek,

vir afdroogdoek.

Die Kalahari-joernalis Anena

Burger antwoord van daar doer bo

uit die hittegolwe: Sy ken die een

sonder die k as n curly.

My ma het hulle aan kafees ge-

smous. Hulle is vir haar deur n

Moslem-bakkery in Eersterivier

gebak. Sover ek weet is hulle oor-

sprong uit die Bo-Kaap, s sy.

Hulle is sag aan die binnekant en

in stroop en klapper gedoop met n

bietjie kaneel. n Koeksister is die

harde, stroopsoetweergawe.Ekeet

enige dag eerder n curly.

Volgens Anena is die beste plek

in die hele wreld om watertand-

koeksisters te kry, ook in die Kaap.

Koesister of curly het net so een

of twee draaie, waar n koeksister

gevleg is. n Koeksister neem ook

natuurlik die aard van die vlegter

aan. Partymense vleg dit soos jy n

vlegsel sal maak,met drie repe, an-

der weer net met twee.

Maar as jy nou jouself wil be-

derf, vra vir Francor-bakkery in

Parow of jy kan gaan kyk hoe die

vroue daar koeksister vleg. Ek s

jou, jou mond sal oophang. Hulle
