Sandy Bay warning issuedLIAM MOSES
THE Hout Bay police have issued a warningto the public after a mugging spree at SandyBay last month.
Warrant Officer Tanya Lesch, spokespersonfor theHoutBaypolice, says themethodof attackwas similar in all of the cases.
“There were a few incidents during April, butonly two cases were registered. Two of the othercomplainants did not want to pursue a criminalcase,” says Lesch.
“The modus operandi is that two males,dressed in dark clothing, will walk together andwhen they spot their victim, they’ll split up.
“One of the suspects then approaches the vic-tim and the other comes from behind and threat-ens the victim with a knife.”
The most recent reported incident occurred onTuesday 26 April at 16:00 in the parking area ofthe Sandy Bay beach.
According to Lesch, the complainant wasmugged at knifepoint while on his way to his car.
“When the complainant returned from thebeach, he was confronted by two unknownmales,” said Lesch.
“One of the suspects was armed with a knifeand held it against his throat. Two surfers wit-nessed this and approached the complainant.The two suspects ran away.”
A gold-and-silver watch worth over R3 000 wasstolen from the complainant.
In the first incident,which tookplace onSatur-day 23 April, a man and woman were walkingalong Rocket Road, Hout Bay, at 17:00 when theywere threatened and mugged by a man with aknife.
Lesch says a cellphone, running shoes, sun-glasses, a water bottle, a torch and a pen knifewere stolen.
There were no injuries in either incident andno arrests have been made.
People’s Post previously reported (“Mountainattacks”, Tuesday 8 February) that André vanSchalkwyk, spokesperson for the Table Moun-tain Safety Action Group (TMSAG), had alsowarned people to careful in the area.
And according to Jim McKenna, chairpersonof the Hout Bay Community Policing Forum,this is not the first time the public have beenwarned about Sandy Bay. “Sandy Bay is lookedupon as a potential hot-spot,” said McKenna.
“We have issued warnings about people walk-ing there on their own in the past. It’s a hot-spotin that a lot of the people who go there are tour-ists, so they don’t know that they could getmugged if they go there.”
Lesch says people should not walk alone in de-serted areas or at night, carry valuable items orleave their belongings unattended.
McKenna echoed Lesch’s sentiments, sayingthat it would be safer if visitors walked ingroups.
“We have, for instance, people going on theirown with their dogs,” said McKenna.
“We realise that people want to walk there, butto go there on your own is not advisable. Theyshould go in a group of three or four.”
The Hout Bay police have asked that any andall crime committed in the area be reported im-mediately.
Santos fans on Saturdaytook part in the first everfan walk hosted by theirclub. The walk started atthe Indoor Centre in Langaand stretched 1,8km toAthlone Stadium and waspart of the buildup to Santos’ Absa Premiershipmatch against Orlando Pirates at the stadium lastSaturday. Those who tookpart in the fan walk weretreated to performancesby Born to Perform, agroup of cheerleaders,and the Saints Brass Bandfrom Mitchell’s Plain, aswell as an appearance byformer Springbok wingand Rugby World Cup winner, Chester Williams.

Hout Bay residentsmarch for equalityLIAM MOSES
A GROUP of Hangberg and Imi-zamo Yethu residents havevowed to march to the office ofCity of Cape Town mayor, DanPlato, if council does not re-spond to a memorandum deliv-ered last week.
The residents marched fromImizamo Yethu to Hout BayMain Road and on to the HoutBay Police Station on Saturday 7May.
Barry Mitchell, secretary ofthe Ray Alexander branch of theSouth African Communist Par-ty, says about 400 people handedover the memorandum to a Cityofficial with a list of demandswhich included calling for anend to injustice against the poorand the eviction of homeless peo-ple.
“This is the fourth time wehave marched.
“I think the first time we didn’treceive a reply from Dan Platountil eight months later,” saidMitchell.
“This time if they don’t replywithin seven days or if the re-sponse is inadequate, we’llmarch to Dan Plato in the City of
Cape Town and make further de-mands.”
Mitchell said that the march-ers had expected to be handingthe memorandum over to Platohimself and Margo Haywood, theward councillor for the area, butneither had arrived.
According to Mitchell, HoutBay is one of the “most unequaland racially segregated towns”in South Africa.
Haywood was asked to com-ment but had not responded bythe time of going to print.
The demands stated in thememorandum are:
. No more violence againstthe poor.
. No more supremacy of mi-norities.
. No more racially-based de-velopments.
. No more economic depriva-tion.
. Stop evicting homeless peo-ple.
. Make land for housing avail-able to poor people in Hout Bay.

Company’s Garden area security alertVERNA VAN DIEMEN
ALTHOUGH police reportthat there have been 13 cas-
es of robbery – six of them witha knife – in and around the Com-pany’s Garden since January,the City of Cape Town’s Law En-forcement department says itknows of only one.
During the latest incident, whichtook place in broad daylight on Fri-day, four Grade 9 pupils from StGeorge’s Grammar School in Mow-bray were robbed at knifepoint dur-ing a school expedition.
Among them were the son ofJudge Nathan Erasmus, a WesternCape High Court judge.
The incident has not been report-ed to the police, but the City of CapeTown’s Law Enforcement Unit,which is based inside the gardens,says they know about it.
Erasmus’ 14-year-old son wasforced to hand over R100 to a knife-wielding man and his accomplice.
Captain Ezra October, spokesper-son for Cape Town Central Police,says police have no record of the in-cident.
He adds that the police figures area combination of crimes from in-
side the gardens and surroundingstreets, and that the robberies oc-cur mostly between 15:00 and 18:00and after midnight.
Chandre Smith, who works in thecity, often takes her lunch breaks inthe Company’s Garden.
“I feel relatively safe duringlunchtime, because there is a lot ofmovement. But the side streets of-ten become quiet after lunchtimeand then you spot all the funny-looking characters,” she said.
But Rudolph Wiltshire, CapeTown’s chief of Special Law En-forcement Services, says his staff isaware of only one incident in the
gardens.“The Company’s Garden is very
safe. As far as we know there is onlythis one incident which has been re-ported,” said Wiltshire.
The Law Enforcement Depart-ment Unit has an office in the Com-pany Gardens, with senior staffmembers and three officers to pa-trol the area.
“We concentrate on crime, va-grancy and any anti-social behav-iour,” he said.
But in response to the pupils’ rob-bery, Wiltshire says the depart-ment will set up a caravan wherethe public can report crime, and in-
tensify patrols by searching anyonewho looks suspicious.
Dr Barry Smith, chairperson ofthe City Bowl Residents’ and Rate-payers’ Association says the associ-ation has had no complaints aboutcrime in the Company’s Garden.
Belinda Walker, ward councillorfor the area, says she has not heardany complaints about robberies inthe gardens lately.
SPEAK OUT: The University ofCape Town’s Students’ Representative Council led the UCTcommunity in a protest demonstration in response to the brutalkilling of Ficksburg protester andUCT alumnus, Andries Tatane, onThursday 5 May. SABC footage ofthe killing of Tatane was playedthroughout the day in the MollyBlackburn Hall. There were alsonewspaper articles and picturesthat UCT says shows the starksimilarity between police brutality today and that which tookplace in apartheid South Africa.The university said it wished tosend a strong message to leadersin government and the police thatbrutality will not be tolerated.

LIAM MOSES
DESSIE RECHTER, the founder and di-rector of the Pink Ladies, an organi-
sation that assists police in finding miss-ing children, has urged communities inthe southern suburbs to “wake up” to therealities of child abduction.
This follows the abduction of a six-year-oldCongolese boy from Wynberg Boy’s JuniorSchool last week, and his subsequent rescuefrom abductors who had taken him to Pletten-berg Bay.
Four men, who are also Congolese, havebeen arrested in connection with the child’sdisappearance.
Rechter says parents in the southern sub-urbs should realise that children are abduct-ed in any area.
“Southern suburbs communities haven’treally experienced this before, but it doeshappen,” says Rechter.
The boy was abducted from school on Mon-day 2Maywhile takingpart inanextra-muralactivity after school.
Captain Andre Venter, spokesperson forthe Wynberg police, says the teacher who wassupervising the activity thought the boyknew the man who is believed to have kid-napped him.
“It is alleged that the boy voluntarily left
the premises while at an extra-mural activi-ty, in the company of a person who was ap-parently known to and trusted by him,” saidVenter.
“It appeared that nothing was amiss, as theboy left his bags behind and indicated he wascoming back soon, because he was just show-ing the man something. The teacher did notthink that they might leave the premises.”
However, the boy did not return and wasreported missing at around 16:00 after asearch party made up of teachers and pupilsfailed to find him.
He was living with his aunt at the time ofhis abduction, as his parents were in theDemocratic Republic of the Congo.
It is not known at what time the boy’s unclewas informed of his disappearance, but theuncle reported the boy missing at the Wyn-berg Police Station at 17:00.
The police then called in the help of a non-profit organisation – the Pink Ladies – andconducted a formal search at around 20:00that same day.
They boy could not be found.A formal police search was instituted at
about 20:00 over the whole of the Wynberg ar-ea with the help of the Pink Ladies, says Ven-ter.
The Pink Ladies sprang into action, send-ing flyers
to border posts, police stations, harbours
and other crime prevention units around theprovince.
According to Venter, the police made theirbreakthrough the following day when, atabout 10:00, police were informed that a boymatching the description of the child on theflyer could be found in Plettenberg Bay.
“The boy was found unharmed and is cur-rently safe.”
A 40-year-old man was arrested with theboy and another man was arrested later thatday, also in Plettenberg Bay.
Two more men were also arrested in Wyn-berg later that same day.
Police suspect the abduction could havebeen due to a personal dispute, and that theabductors could have hoped for a ransom tobe paid.
“Ransom is one of the issues that is goingto be addressed by the detectives. It does formpart of the investigation,” said Venter.
“The case could run deeper than we knowright now. There are factors that are underinvestigation. Is it something to do with fami-ly? Why are all the men Congolese? You candefinitely put a question mark next to ran-som.”
Only two of the four men arrested appearedin the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Mon-day 9 May.
One of the men who was arrested in Wyn-berg is currently out on bail, while the other,who was arrested with the boy in PlettenbergBay, has been denied bail.
The suspects will appear in the WynbergMagistrate’s Court on Tuesday 24 May.

CLEARANCECLEARANCEOPENING SOON IN MITCHELL’S PLAIN
X2X2 Sweet terror in the aislesTHE Heart and Stroke Foundation ofSouth Africa (HSFSA) says the country’sretailers are responsible for a more in-sidious danger than drugs and alcohol –sweets and chocolates crammed alongthe aisles leading up to till points in mostshops.
According to the HSFSA, childhood obesi-ty is a growing problem worldwide. Obesitycan contribute to heart, stroke and bloodvessel diseases in later life, and healthy eat-ing, alongwithexercise, is crucial if this glo-bal phenomenon is to be reversed.
When retailers deliberately place sweets,chocolates, crisps and other junk food itemsin the aisles leading up to till points, theyplace stressed-out parents under undue andunfair pressure, the HSFSA contends.
According to Dr Vash Mungal-Singh,chief executive officer of the HSFSA, retail-ers are entitled to make their displays as ap-pealing as possible, and to try and maximisesales, but says when they target childrenwith goods that are detrimental to thechild’s health, a moral issue comes intoplay.
“Can retailers simply shirk their respon-sibility to act fairly?”
The Foundation says one of the dangersof a fast-paced society is that grabbing aquick snack on the run usually means sacri-ficing nutritional value, and that retailershave an enormous role to play in reversingthis problem.
By making low fat, low sugar, and healthi-er snacks available to consumers, this trendcould be reversed. Vegetable sticks, rawnuts, dried fruit and wholewheat biscuitsare all healthy alternatives, and while someretailers do offer these items in the till-pointaisles, their worthy efforts are underminedby the chocolate and crisps most oftenplaced alongside them.
The HSFSA would like to hear from retail-ers on this point. It asks whether the profitmotive really is strong enough to endangerchildren’s health, or whether there aresome retailers willing to buck the trend andplace only healthy alternatives in the till-point aisles.
All comments received from retailers willbe published on the HSFSA website, andany retailer taking up the challenge will beacknowledged on the site.
Letters and comments should be ad-dressed to the HSFSA at [email protected].

Train schedule on your phoneAFREEmobile Internet site for commutersusing Metrorail’s Southern and Northernlines has been launched by Grapevine In-teractive, a mobile services firm.

ABALONE worth aboutR400 000 was confiscated bythe Department of Trade,Forestry (DTFF) and Fisher-ies in Hout Bay last week.
Hout Bay police spokesper-son, Warrant Officer Tanya Le-sch, says DTFF officials discov-ered the abalone after pullingover a bakkie on Valley Road at08:30 on Tuesday 3 May.
Lesch says theDTFFofficialsfound over 2 300 abalone in thebakkie.
“The DTFF members fol-lowed a red bakkie and pulledthe vehicle off in Valley RoadHout Bay,” says Lesch. “Dur-ing the search, they found 2 305abalone in the shells. The valueis estimated at approximatelyR400 000.”
The suspects, aged 21 and 42,
were arrested and appeared inthe Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt on Wednesday 4 May.
Lesch says the red bakkie inwhich the abalone was discov-ered belonged to the stepfatherof the 21-year-old suspect.
Both men are from the Hang-berg area.
. In a separate incident ear-lier that day, a Hout Bay mansaved his sister from a possiblestabbing.
According to Lesch, thehomeowner managed to con-vince a knife-wielding burglarto leave without stealing any-thing from his Milner Avenuehouse.
“At approximately 06:50, theowner of the house heard hissisters scream and went to thelounge,” said Lesch.
“There he noticed a malearmed with a knife. He thentold the suspect that he knew
him and the suspect immedi-ately fled the scene.”
Nothing was stolen from thehouse, and it is not known howthe man gained entry.
A case of house robbery is be-ing investigated.
. Another two robberiestook place in the Hout Bay areaduring the previous week, onFriday 29 April.
Two hawkers had cash, a du-vet set and a cellphone stolenfrom them in Zola section,Mandela Park, in ImizamoYethu at 14:30.
Lesch says the hawkers wererobbed by four men, two ofwhom were armed withknives.
Two suspects were arrestedafter police followed up on in-formation provided by thecomplainant.
The suspects were chargedwith armed robbery, and ap-
peared in the Wynberg Magis-trate’s Court on Tuesday 3May.
The second robbery on Fri-day 29 April took place at ashop in Molokwane Road in Im-izamo Yethu.
A shop owner and his broth-er were attacked and robbed bythree men at around midnight.
The men stabbed the com-plainant’s brother in the backand then fled from the shopwith R500, cigarettes to the val-ue of R300 and airtime worthR250.
One man was arrested afterthe complainants’ informationled the police straight to thesuspect.
The suspect was also identi-fied by the complainant.
The man was charged withrobbery and appeared in theWynberg Magistrate’s Courton Tuesday 3 May.

TWO projects designed to address homeless-ness and unemployment in its wards wereundertaken by councillors of the Protea sub-council during their terms of office.
Chairperson of Protea Subcouncil 20, Al-derman Owen Kinahan, says councillorswent into partnership with St Stephen’sChurch in a graffiti removal project.
A team of people rehabilitated from a lifeon the streets was trained to eradicate graffi-ti on buildings owned by the City of CapeTown, and precincts in the public domain,including road signage and electricity units,with 5 100 individual sites receiving atten-tion.
“In response to increasing numbers of peo-ple living on the streets, the subcouncil initi-ated its Street People Project, which re-quired an enormous contribution of timeow-ing to the lack of a City strategy and almostno co-operation between line departments,”says Kinahan. The subcouncil team drew upa protocol of foundation principles that in-cluded “outright rejection of allowing chil-dren to live on the streets”, zero tolerance ofcriminal and anti-social behaviour and at-tempting to reunite street people with theirown families and communities. The sub-council supported and promoted the “GiveResponsibly” principle of the Cape TownPartnership through the voucher system ofSt Stephen’s.
“It sought to discourage the public fromconsolidating a life on the streets througheasy access to misdirected cash handouts.
“We believed that the system of exposingthe redeemer of the voucher to a range ofservices such as health care and social devel-opment access was a sound principle,” he ex-plains.
He adds the Haven Organisation also be-came a partner and received funding from
the Protea Subcouncil to employ field work-ers to accurately locate and record full per-sonal details for each street person in thesub-council.
Kinahan says another business improve-ment within the subcouncil was to discussthree important transport interchanges –Mowbray, Claremont and Wynberg – in thesame meetings, rather than treat each inter-change as The above was presented in thechairperson’s report at the final subcouncilmeeting held on Thursday 5 May the AlphenCentre. It was the last meeting before thesubcouncil dissolves for the elections onWednesday 18 May. The Protea Subcouncilwas established on 19 June 2006, and com-prised wards 58, 59, 62 and 73 and three pro-portional representation councillors fromthe opposition. Each of the wards also estab-lished ward forums, and a total of 68 meet-ings were held. The subcouncil has a longtradition of active ratepayers’ and civic or-
ganisations, neighbourhood watches, CPFsand a range of environmental groups.
. This subcouncil met 55 times with onlyone meeting that was not quorate.
. The Average attendance rate by council-lors was 95%.
. 1965 agenda items were tabled and dis-cussed.
. 253 of these were planning items, includ-ing 75 interviews with effect from 23 April2007.
. The subcouncil commentedonalmost allof the 58 draft bylaws and policies forwardedby the council.
. Thirteen public meetings were organ-ised to consult on the budget, the IntegratedDevelopment Plan and metropolitan plan-ning issues; and
. R6 million for capex (capital expendi-ture) and R4 million for ppex (operating ex-penditure) was awarded by council for wardallocations with a spend rate of 95%.

To vote or not to vote?WITH the elections just aroundthe corner, People’s Post took tothe streets in Tokai to hearwhether the community will ex-
ercise its democratic right tovote on Wednesday 18 May.Here’s what some of them had tosay.

TRACYWARD: “Ifeel verypositiveabout theelectionsbecause Isee goodthingshappening. Iknowthere is corruption and crime andother things, but there are positivethings as well. I will be voting.”

HOWLAND PAGE: “I don't havean opinion on the elections really.I will be voting and I know whoI'm voting for. I'm voting becauseI want to see a good future foreverybody.” Photos: Liam Moses
BARRY DODDS: “Yes, I’ll be voting. You have to have electionsso that the people of the countrycan have a say. It’s part of democracy. I know which party I'mvoting for.” s
GENEVIEVE JAMES: “I will be voting,and I know who I am voting for. Theparty has done very well in my wardin the past. They have shown verygood service in the area and whenthey say they're going to do something, they get it done.”
How many voted?LESS than half of registered voters voted in the2000 and 2006 municipal elections, compared toover 70% of voters who participated in nation-al and provincial government elections.
The stats below give the participation per-centage among registered voters.
National elections. 2004- Nationally: 76.73% of 20 674 923 voted.- Western Cape: 73.05% of 2 220 283 voted.. 2009- Nationally: 77.3% of 23 181 997 voted.- Western Cape: 77.78% of 2 634 439 voted.
Provincial elections. 2004- Nationally: 75.05% of 20 674 923 voted.- Western Cape: 71.27% of 2 220 283 voted.. 2009Nationally: 75.01% of 23 181 997 voted.Western Cape: 75.45% of 2 634 439 voted.

The Cinderella electionsVERNA VAN DIEMEN
Only about half of registeredvoters have voted in munici-
pal elections in the past, com-pared to 70%-plus of registeredvoters who vote in provincialand national elections.
The Independent Electoral Com-mission (IEC) and Institute for De-mocracy in Africa (Idasa) say thatthe lower participation rate in mu-nicipal elections is not unique toSouth Africa, but is a global phe-nomenon.
Courtney Sampson, ProvincialElectoral Officer for the (IEC), says:“There could be a number of rea-sons why fewer people vote duringthe local government elections. Itcould be voter fatigue because theelections come two years after thehyped-up national and provincialelections; it could be because peoplefeel they are not impacted by who
the councillor is; or maybe theyhave much more interest in the na-tional and provincial elections.”
The reason for separate rounds ofelections is historical, Sampsonsays.
“In 1994 we had our first demo-cratic elections, but at the time thecountry was not ready for local elec-tions. Two years later the local elec-tions were held, and it has workedthat way ever since.”
He believes this arrangementneeds to be revisited. “We need tothink about whether it is necessaryto bring all of the elections togeth-er,” he says.
The pros, says Sampson, is that
all efforts will be concentrated intoone day which might save moneyon the parties’ and the IEC’s cam-paigns, and increase voter partici-pation.
The cons are that people’s con-centration might dwindle becausethere are so many choices, he says.
In the event that all the electionsare held on one day, voters wouldhave to complete four ballots in ametro municipality and five in oth-er municipalities.
Justin Sylvester, a political ana-lyst with the Institute for Democra-cy in Africa (Idasa), says that morepeople vote during national andprovincial elections because of in-
creased enthusiasm and a biggerfan-fair around the event. “General-ly there is more enthusiasm by theparties created by mobilising theirelectoral campaigns.”
He speculates that fewer peoplemay vote in municipal elections be-cause of dissatisfaction with localgovernance issues.
The challenge, says Sylvester, isthat local governance has a greaterimpact on the day-to-day lives ofpeople.
“We would hope for the turnoutto be much better during the localelections because they have a fun-damental impact on people’s dailylives,” he says.
But the trend is not unique toSouth Africa. “Globally this is theway people vote and South Africahas a much higher voter turnoutgenerally.
“So we cannot say that South Af-ricans do not value the significanceof the elections,” he says.
The other trend being monitoredby political analysts is that aboutfive million people who are eligibleto vote simply do not register.
“It is difficult to give an exact fig-ure, as the last census was taken in2001, but this is an estimation of thenumber of people who can vote, butare not registered,” says Sylvester.
The results of the municipal elec-tions next week will indicate thelevel of dissatisfaction or happinesswith municipal services, says Syl-vester. “It will be interesting to seehow many people actually turn upto vote next week. This will be anindication of how people feel aboutservice delivery.”
Lower turnout belies importance of municipal elections

Opportunities lostTONY ROBINSON
DOES the name Michael Thackeraymean anything to you?
He was in Cape Town recently to attenda conference at the International Conven-tion Centre and hardly anybody noticed.
There were no pictures in the papers andno radio interviews, yet Thackeray shouldbe as famous as the late Professor Chris Bar-nard. Certainly his gifts to the world havetouched millions more lives.
Like Barnard, Dr Thackeray is a UCTgraduate, but his field was chemistry. He de-veloped the lithium-ion battery that powersyour cellphone and your laptop, and whenyou buy an electric car one day, his batterywill drive the motor.
So Thackery has changed the world, yetwe don’t know very much abouthim.
Perhaps the reason is that it isa rather embarrassing story.
Generally Professor JohnGoodenough is credited with theinvention of the lithium-ion bat-tery, but it was Thackeray andhis team at the CSIR in Pretoriawho were responsible for its de-velopment.
They still hold most of the pat-ents, 28 of them in Thackeray’sname. Those scientists were theworld leaders in battery re-search. Then, in 1994, our new government,all bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and flushedwith success at the polls, closed down thebattery research unit.It was the dumbest de-cision since the old Soviet Union rejectedtransistors and put its faith and its electron-ic future in good old glass vacuum tubevalves.
You might say that hindsight is always
right, but the early cellphones and laptopswere already on the market, and the needfor smaller, more efficient batteries was notdifficult to identify.
It was also clear that the battery researchwas world-class. This was certainly recog-nised by leading research institutes all overthe world, and they grabbed the scientists.
Thackeray is now one of the top men atthe Argonne National Laboratory in theUnited States.
Pause for a moment and think where thiscountry would have been if funds squan-dered on the pebble bed nuclear reactor hadbeen used to create a lithium-ion battery in-dustry.
It is worth reminding ourselves that itwas Thackeray’s battery that made it possi-ble to convert the early “brick” cellphonesinto the wonderful, multi-purpose gadgets
they are today.More important, however, is
that the old CSIR team madethe electric car a practicalproposition, and here anotherPretoria man comes into thepicture – Elon Musk.
He is just 39, but has alreadybeen described as the greatestinnovator in the motor indus-try since Henry Ford.
His Tesla electric sportscars, powered by about 7 000small lithium-ion batteries,have a range of nearly 400km,
and the latest ones accelerate from noughtto 100km/h in 3,7 seconds. He has made andsold 1 500 of them, and both Mercedes andToyota have invested in his California in-dustry.And the CSIR? Two years ago theystarted a battery technology centre to sup-port the development of the local Joule elec-tric car, but how can they replace the exper-tise that was lost in 1994?

It is apparent that Malema does not knowthe value of “think before you speak”. He has,after all, been taken to court for singing the“Shoot the Boer” song.
His latest tirade was emitted at an ANC ral-ly in Kimberley on Saturday – in the presenceof President Jacob Zuma.
Malema reportedly said: “We have to takethe land without payment, because the whitestook our land without paying. We all agreethey stole the land. They are criminals, theyshould be treated like that.”
He added that “it took too long for land tobe handed over to black people” – to loud ap-plause, disturbingly so as barely two weeksago the country united in celebrating Free-dom Day.
And, in eight days’ time, South Africanswill be going to the polls to choose their localgovernment.
The right to vote has been fought for byblacks, whites, coloureds and Indians whohave all sacrificed for the democracy Malemaseems intent on destroying.
By his lack of response, it could be con-strued that Zuma is in agreement with Male-ma. The president, of all people, should knowthat the ANCYL’s poisonous words are an at-tack on people’s dignity and rights.
As one leader to another, Zuma should holdMalema accountable in the harshest way –and set an example to those who applaudedMalema, instead of leaving it to Deputy Presi-dent Kgalema Motlanthe, whose weak re-sponse of “one couldn’t generalise and say allwhite people were criminals” is as effectiveas sprinkling a cup of water over a raging fire.
Equally limp is the ANC’s defence of Male-ma, sayinghe couldhavebeenreferring to theNatives’ LandAct of 1913,which saw land“be-ing taken away from black people by force”.
There is too much hatred in the word andwe do not need the Malemas of this countryto destroy the unity which people of all cul-tures have fought for.
A positive experienceTHERE is so much negativityout there, I thought I wouldwrite in and share somethingpositive about our police force,which sometimes doesn’t getthe credit it deserves.
After a weekend away, myyounger brother (a student atStellenbosch) had arrived atCape Town In-ternational Air-port where hewas waiting forhis friend tofetch him. Sincemy brother’sfriend’s car wasin for repair,they agreed thatmy brotherwould leave thecar at his housefor the weekendand he coulddrive my broth-er’s car to theairport to fetchhim. The car had a problemwith the fuel sensors, whichmy brother forgot to mention.
On the way to the airport thecar shudders and cuts out onthe highway with an empty fu-el tank.
All baffled, my brother’sfriend and his girlfriend tryget the car to the side of thehighway, not knowing whatthe problem was.
A police patrol car stoppedbehind them to see what theproblem was. My brother’sfriend explained what hap-pened, and that the car was nothis and he was on the way tothe airport to fetch the owner.
The police then speedilydrove their patrol car to the
airport to fetchmy brother, tookhim to the car,identified theproblem, thendrove him to apetrol stationand then back tohis car.
After all theirtroubles, mybrother offeredto buy them acooldrink each,and they refusedto accept it, stat-ing that it wastheir responsi-
bility to protect the public!Thank you to the Western
Cape police department for as-sisting my younger brotherand keeping him and hisfriends safe!
You have the world of re-spect from us and many othersfor your actions!NICHOLAS MIHALITSIAN-OSGreen Point

Intimidated bylaw enforcementIN LIGHT of all the recent vio-lence caused by some of theSAPS members, I was horri-fied over the Easter weekendto come across (although at adistance and in the safety ofour motor vehicle) a form ofpolice intimidation.
While my husband was enroute to work on Saturday 23April at about 07:30, whiletravelling along ModderdamRoad in the direction of Bel-lville, we were crossing a robot(green in our favour) when apolice convoy of three policevans, and what looked to be aconfiscated taxi, turned infront of us into Bishop Lavis,and two police officerslaughed and were seen to besaying “what, what” to myhusband, as if to ask ‘what areyou going to do?’ even though
they were in the wrong.If my husband did not brake
when he did, we would havebeen in a head-on collisionwith irresponsible, non-lawabiding police officers.
It is disheartening to feelthreatened by the very peoplewho are supposed to protectyou. All this while my daugh-ter of 11 years was also in thecar.
Is this the example our chil-dren are meant to follow?
If members of the public feelthis intimidated by law en-forcement while in a movingvehicle, then I surely do notwant to be out there in theopen where there is no protec-tion from such brute force.CONCERNED SA RESI-DENTCity Bowl, Cape Town

The oldestbuilding in town
SeekingWilliam
IN response to your article, “Happy birth-day, Cape Town” (29 March), in which itwas stated that the Good Hope Castle is theoldest building in South Africa:
The Good Hope Castle is not South Afri-ca’s oldest building.
The original building on that site was awooden fort. The Good Hope Castle wasoriginally wooden, and burned down.
It was rebuilt in stone over a periodwhich extended from 1666 until 1679.
It was replaced with the five-pointedGood Hope Castle that stands today.
Before the wooden fort burnt down, otherwooden buildings had been erected, nonesurviving to this day.
However, one stone building built at thistime does survive.
It is the Posthuys in Muizenberg. ThePosthuys is therefore the oldest building inSouth Africa.
The Posthuys was built by the Dutch EastIndia Company in 1673, and served primari-ly as a look-out post for enemy ships enter-ing False Bay.
Records show Het Posthuys recorded onmaps by 1673.
After the first British occupation in 1795it was used as an Officers’ Mess, then an“ale and eating house”, as well as a privateresidence. It is the oldest European-builthouse in South Africa.CHRIS PAGESouthfield

Guaranteed Effective PEST CONTROLGuaranteed Effective PEST CONTROL
Always wanted to be a fireman?THE Volunteer Wildfire Services(VWS) is still looking for volunteersto establish a new base in the FarSouth. Wildfire is a great threat inthis area because of wide areas thatare overgrown with alien plants.
The closest Volunteer Wildfireunit is currently based at New-lands, so a base in the Far Southwould greatly improve the emer-gency response time.
Applications to volunteer (for theFar South only) are still open. Anintroductory meeting will be heldwithin the month.
VWS needs local volunteers phys-ically fit enough to fight fires as ac-tive firefighters, as well as thosewho can carry out logistics anddriving tasks.
VWS will also require donations,as the new base would require a ve-
hicle and equipment. The VWS re-lies entirely on sponsorship, so fi-nancial assistance would also help.
Please contact local VWS mem-ber, Allan Roy, on [email protected] for any further informa-tion.
For more general informationabout the Volunteer Wildfire Serv-ices, visit their website atwww.vws.co.za.
Fire awareness a hot topicTHE Cape Peninsula Fire Protec-tion Association and Enviro Wild-fire Services recently conducted aseries of awareness programmes atthe Table Mountain National ParkFire Base in Newlands. The interac-tive programmes covered topicssuch as the role and importance ofveldfires, the dangers associatedwith them, and the various vehiclesand equipment used by firefightersto put out the runaway fires that oc-cur every year in and around theCape Peninsula. “While we onlyprovided a limited number of pro-grammes at the end of this season,we used this as a pilot project to finetune the campaign. Based on thepositive feedback from the schools,parents and learners, we believe wehave developed a well-balanced,two-hour programme that shouldprove to be very popular when weroll out the full-scale campaign in
September,” saysRob Erasmus ofEnviro WildfireServices.
“The impor-tance of increas-ing wildfireawareness, espe-cially amongstour youth, is a vi-tal part of tryingto reduce thenumber of runa-way fires we expe-rience every year.
“The pilot pro-gramme has beena success, and welook forward toimplementing itacross the entire Cape Peninsula ina few months’ time,” says PierreGallagher, the manager of the CapePeninsula Fire Protection Associa-
tion.For more information about wild-
fires, visit www.ENVIROwild-fire.co.za.

LEGAL ALIEN: Belgianborn artist Jan Vermeiren’s work is on exhibitionat the Townhouse Hotel and Conference Centre in Corporation Street,Cape Town.

This duality bringsan exciting and unusual dimension to his work. Entry to the exhibitionis free of charge. Vermeiren is seen with one of his works, “Aliens inAfrica”, which was completed in 2009.

Tough tussles expected on tourTough tussles expected on tourTASMIN CUPIDO
THE DHL Stormers will be looking toget back to winning ways when they
travel to Australasia for the tour leg oftheir campaign.
This follows a 20-14 loss to Todd Blackadderand his Crusaders outfit at DHL Newlands onSaturday – the second loss of the season forthe men from the Cape.
But head coach, Allister Coetzee, althoughdisappointed by the loss, is not too worriedabout his side’s performance and future.
“Obviously we are disappointed, but it wasa great game of rugby – we can take out somepositives from the match, although we madesome unnecessary mistakes,” he said.
“We had a number of opportunities whichwe didn’t take and we will certainly look atwhat went wrong. This being said, the boysput in a great effort and I will take my hatoff to the players for this.”
Opportunities aplenty were not capitalisedon – the Crusaders lost key players, such asfullback Israel Dagg, early on, while injuriesto Dagg’s replacement Adam Whitelock andwinger Sean Maitland saw flanker Matt Toddplaying on the wing.
Captain Schalk Burger also admitted tomaking an incorrect decision by opting for aline-out instead of kicking to the posts for apenalty in the 67th minute. Three failed roll-ing mauls followed and the Stormers left the
Crusaders 22 without a point.Flashes of brilliance from much-talked
about inside centre, SonnyBillWilliams, alsosaw the Cape outfit committing several play-ers to the tackle situation when Williams wasin possession of the ball, leaving other Cru-saders players with gaps.
In the end it was two tries by prop forward,Wyatt Crocket, to the one by the Stormers’Jacque Fourie which separated the two sides.For the Stormers, a stellar performance bysurprise inclusion, Johann Sadie, impressedin the 80 minutes.
Now the focus of the men in navy-blue-and-white shifts to their tour, which kicks offwith a match against the Chiefs in Hamilton,followed by a clash against current log lead-ers, The Blues, at Eden Park in Auckland.
After that, they travel over the Tasman Seato take on a wounded Brumbies outfit in Can-berra, ending off with a match against theMelbourne Rebels, the newbies in the compe-tition, who have impressed and surprisedthus far.
“We are still number one in the South Afri-can conference and third overall,” Coetzeesaid.
“Historically we have toured well – we arenow focusing on getting back to winningways.”
The Stormers departed for New Zealand onSunday morning, with their match againstthe Chiefs kicking off at 09:35 on Saturdaymorning.

Borman warms to Canadian climesBorman warms to Canadian climesBRIAN GAFFNEY
CAPE TOWN-born footballerDanleigh Borman has in a
surprise player exchange beentransferred to Toronto FC inCanada by the New York RedBulls FC.
Borman, as well as Cameroon na-tional Tony Tchani, were involvedin what was a hush-hush exchangefor Canadian international Dwainede Rosario – who joined the RedBulls – in April.
But Borman’s relocation to frosti-er climes should not be regarded asa backward step in his career, as To-ronto FC campaign in MajorLeague Soccer (MLS), the top pro-fessional league for American andCanadian clubs.
Toronto FC was in fact the firstCanadian club to affiliate to theMLS in 2007.
Borman said he and Tchani were
not aware that the Red Bulls and To-ronto FC were engaged in talks un-til after the exchange deal was con-cluded.
“I regard the move to Toronto FCas a new challenge in my career. Iam now assured of more game timeat Toronto FC, who insisted thatTchani and I should be included inthe exchange deal,” said Borman.
Former renowned professionalfootballer Daniel “Dot” Bor-man – who experienced successfulspells with Cape Town Spurs, CapeTown City, Glendene and Santosduring his heyday – is also upbeatabout his son Danleigh’s new ven-ture.
“I believe that Danleigh’s careerhas taken a positive turn and I amthankful to the Red Bulls for givinghim the opportunity to compete inMajor League Soccer,” said Bor-man senior, from Athlone.
Danleigh spent four years withthe Red Bulls and started 13 out of
18 matches last season.He can play both in midfield and
defence, but is used predominantlyas a left back. Tchani, a Red Bullsdefender for two seasons, played in27 matches, starting in 17 of themlast season.
Former Dutch international Ar-on Winter – the head coach andtechnical director at TorontoFC – said on the Toronto FC web-site: “This deal is part of our rebuildprocess. We have acquired two verystrong players that I believe willhave an immediate and long-termimpact at our club”.
Danleigh, a South Africanschools under-19 cap, showed hispotential while representing Ry-gersdal AFC in the LFA Cape TownTygerberg junior leagues.
He then moved on to Mitchell’sPlain United FC – an academy sidefor Santos FC – in the Vodacom Sec-ond Division – before heading toAmerica.
