Late nightworship disturbsresidentsTAURIQ HASSEN

SOME Woodstock residentsare calling on local charis-

matic churches who hostevening sermons to respect sur-rounding communities by keep-ing the noise down.

The Upper Woodstock ResidentsAssociation (UWRA) has also con-firmed that it has received anumber of complaints from resi-dents in Woodstock, who say wor-ship noise from the congregationsis becoming hard to cope with.

With gospel music resoundingfrom business complexes, instru-ments being played and apparent“chantingat the topof their voices”,these churches are known to be-come “excited” with immense“screaming and celebrations”, resi-dents say.

Jason Coldron, a Woodstock resi-dent, lives a few metres away froma church which practises their faithon Sunday evenings in VictoriaRoad.

He says the sermons usually startat about 20:30, with a prayer, whichthen progresses into a gospel song,with people “screaming as if theyhave won something”.

“It’s not that I’m against religion,but I have got a two-year-old sonand every time he listens to some-body screaming, he jumps out ofbed and runs through the house infear, and that is my biggest con-cern,” says Coldron.

Shiela Matthews, another resi-dent living directly opposite FaithMinistries, agreed with Coldron,saying her daughter goes throughthe same ordeal.

“I’m someone who never com-plains and I still would not make abig thing out of this, but maybe theycould soundproof the building or at-tempt to not use microphones when

they are doing their sessions, justto respect the surrounding commu-nity,” says Matthews.

Rashiedah Graaf, a resident liv-ing metres away from SunshineMinistries in Albert Road, ex-plained that these churches “do notstay for long”.

“You always see different namespopping up at the buildings beingused, so there are many differentfaiths coming into the building andusing it,” says Graaf.

She added that screaming andsinging are among the concerns shehas currently.

“I don’t mind them practisingtheir religion, because everyonehas the right to do so, but do theyhave to be so loud and disturb thewhole community?” asks Graaf.

Pastor Adrian Mkuwanga at theSunshine Ministries initiallylaughed at the allegations, thensaid: “We cannot shy away from ourGod and if that is how people wishto practise their religions, byscreaming, shouting or even danc-ing, who are we to stop them?”

He acknowledged complaintsfrom the community and was will-ing to address the problems.

“We rely heavily on donationsfrom the people attending our serv-ices, so we do not have funding toimplement fancy soundproofing,”says Mkuwanga.

Teun Baartman, chairperson ofthe Upper Woodstock Residents As-sociation, confirmed that the asso-ciation had received complaints.

“This is a very sensitive issue,because we do not want the peopleto think that we are trying to get ridof or stand up to those religions be-ing practised. That is certainly notthe case.”

He explained that the number ofthese churches has recently beenincreasing in the area, with moreand more office blocks being turned

into ministries for various reli-gious groups.

Ward Councillor Cedric Thomasconfirmed the concerns and also ex-plained that certain office complex-es are “zoned to have assemblies”,but not all buildings are zoned forthis.

“We fully respect the churchespractising their religion, but theyneed to have respect for the sur-rounding community as well,” saysThomas.

He added that the concerns start-ed streaming in from Novemberlast year, mostly about the ampli-fied music being used.

There are days when the musicwould continue over three days,says Thomas.

“We are currently looking into

the matter, because this problem isregarded as noise nuisance,” saysThomas.

Council is currently dealing witheight such cases around the area.

“We are fully aware of the con-cerns surrounding the matter andwe are in the process of addressingthe matter,” says Thomas.

Thomas added that churchesfound guilty of noise nuisance,would receive a warning, followedby a fine if they do not comply.

Pastor Frank Mtawira, whoserves the Faith of God Ministriesin Woodstock, says he understandsthe community’s concerns, but said“this ishow the religion is supposedto be practised”.

“When people say they hearshouting or singing or even the mu-

sic, it’s all God’s work being prac-tised. But all the concerns are fullyunderstood,” says Mtawira.

He is willing to accept any sugges-tions to minimise the noise comingfrom the sessions, but claims thatthe practice is “fair and cannot bechanged”.

“There are many religions thatsing gospel music and play their in-struments out loud, so I don’t thinkwe are going to change that, but weare willing to put in measures to re-duce the amount of sound comingfrom the ministry,” says Mtawira.

The Cape Malay Choir Board hosted the premier division of the its choral competition at the Good HopeCentre on Saturday. Eleven troupes gathered to battle it out for top honours, with the Angeliere Malay Choirfrom Athlone walking away with the spoils. The team will now compete in the Top Eight competition, whichwill see the best teams in all divisions competing against each other. That segment takes place on 19 March.The final showdown, regarded as the Grand Final, will take place on 16 April, which will see the winnersof the Premier’s Cup and President’s Cup clashing.

Power boxes neededTAURIQ HASSEN

FACRETON residents are calling forproper electricity boxes to be installed attheir homes in order to supply backyarddwellers in the area.

Residents say several shacks have illegalconnections, which creates a fire hazard andcan lead to serious damage or even death, ifthe City of Cape Town does not honour itspromise to install a safe supply of electricityin their homes.

In December, two people died in a firecaused by faulty electrical work, possiblydue to an illegal connection. Neighbourssaid their shack caught alight in the earlyhours of the morningdue to faulty electricalwork.

The couple were una-ble to escape the blaze,even with the assist-ance of the community.

Jimmy Xalipi, a com-munity worker in Ken-sington and Factreton,highlighted the con-cerns raised by resi-dents.

“These people are indanger and they (au-thorities) know exactlywhat they need to avoidthis danger. We appliedto the City in 2008 tohave proper electricityinstalled, but every-body did not receivetheir boxes,” says Xali-pi.

Xalipi added that the fire last year “awokepeople around the community”, makingthem realise that it could also happen tothem.

People’s Post visited the area last week tospeak to residents about their concerns andit was evident that safety was the main con-cern. Nicky Abrahams, a single mother oftwo, is a backyard dweller battling to haveproper electricity installed in her home. Shesays her ordeal has been a “nightmare”.

“If you drive around this area you will findloads of illegal connections, but that is be-cause council refuses to place new boxes at

our places,” says Abrahams.Justine Fransman was nearly a victim of

a fire, but luckily fought the blaze and man-aged to save her home last year.

She explained that although she does nothave any illegal connection inside her home,the wiring hovering above her home “is anaccident waiting to happen”.

“The sparks from that wiring started thefire and although I understand there was notmuch damage, the point is that it could havebeen way worse,” says Fransman.

According to Xalipi, council started in-stalling the boxes in Acre Road, but discon-tinued the service, leaving 361 applicants“stranded”. Dr Leslie Rencontre, director forelectricity services for the City of Cape

Town, explained that“there are no funds availa-ble for theprovisionof sec-ond pre-payment meters(PPMs) at a subsidisedcost. “The City’s electrici-ty services department isnot accepting applicationsfor such subsidised sec-ond PPMs and does nothave a waiting list.

Raymond Julies, a com-munity worker, appliedon behalf of many resi-dents for the new electrici-ty boxes, along with theproper wiring to be in-stalled.

“This is something thecommunity really needsand we keep on asking forupdates on the matter,but nothing gets said to us

and we are left in the dark,” says Davids.He explained that during the night, back-

yard dwellers also use candles, paraffin andgas for cooking, adding to the fire hazard.Many of these backyard settlements havewiring swinging around their homes, caus-ing even more concern.

“This is not safe and council must reallycome and see how these people are living, be-cause you will see the wires hanging loose,illegal connections on every second electrici-ty pole and if the boxes were installed, thewhole premises would have to rewired andthat can take away those safety concerns,”says Davids.

‘Stop making bogus reports’TAURIQ HASSEN

POLICE are warning the public to avoidmaking false crime reports after two sus-pects were arrested and charged with perju-ry last week.

On Wednesday 16 February, a 26 year-old-man opened a case of theft out of motor vehi-cle at the Woodstock Police Station.

According to Sergeant Hilton Malila,spokesperson for the station, the man toldauthorities that he had left his car parkedathisworkplace inKotzeeStreet,Observato-ry, at about 17:00 on Friday 11 February.

When he returned to his car the next day,he discovered that the back window was bro-ken, and clothing and a GPS navigator hadbeen stolen.

However, on further investigation, policediscovered that the man had left work at17:00 on the Friday and only returned onMonday 14 February.

In the second incident, another suspectwas arrested after reporting that his Playsta-tion and computer had been stolen.

According to Malila, the report suggestedthat the man had returned to his Park Roadhome in Walmer Estate, where he noticedthat his items went missing.

The man opened a case of theft at the sta-tion. Upon further investigation, police re-vealed that the items were sold by the manand his ex-wife to a nearby Cash Converters,for around R300.

“We want to warn the public not to openfalse cases, because every reported incidentwill be investigated thoroughly and if inves-tigations reveal that a person opened a falsecase for insurance purposes, you will facecriminal charges, because it is a criminal of-fence,” says Malila.

. On Tuesday 15 February, a 28-year-oldman was arrested after being found with R2500 worth of drugs in Salt River.

Malila explained that police received ananonymous tip off from a community mem-ber, regarding drug trafficking taking placearound that area. “Police followed up on the

complaint and immediately had a crime pre-vention patrol around that area,” says Mali-la. Police noticed the man sitting on the cor-ner, when they proceeded to search the sus-pect, they found 20 packets of heroin.

“The suspect was hiding the drugs in hisunderpants, wrapped inside a bank packet,”says Malila.

They also confiscated R210 found in thesuspect’s possession.

The suspect appeared in the Cape TownMagistrate’s Court, where he was remandedinto police custody until his next court ap-pearance on Friday 25 February.

“We would really like to thank the peoplewithin the community for their role insqueezing out crime in their respective are-as,” Malila added.

. On Sunday 13 February, police arresteda 29-year-old man caught with stolen itemsfrom a car in Dublin Street.

At 06:45, the car had been broken into, anda blue Lee Cooper jacket and laptop were sto-len.

“The complainantwasable toprovideade-scription of the items that were stolen,” saysMalila.

Police then searched the area, when theydiscovered a car parked on the corners ofWright and Station Street in Woodstock.

“They approached the car and found onesuspect wearing a jacket that perfectlymatched the description given by the com-plainant,” says Malila.

Police searched the car thoroughly, wherethe laptop was also discovered. Both itemswere valued at R15 000 and were later identi-fied as being the property of the complain-ant.

The suspect appeared in the Cape TownMagistrate’s Court on Tuesday 15 February,where he was remanded into police custody.

Too much fencing, say residentsTAURIQ HASSEN

WITH construction work well under wayat the Queens Park Sports facility, a hand-ful of residents are now raising concernsabout the extent of the fencing being intro-duced at the grounds.

The area has been split into four quadrants:the soccer field, trim park, recreational playpark and the dog walking facility, which is stillunder construction.

This will be lined with trees and benches,and finished off with grass, before serving asa dog walking facility for dog owners only.

Teun Baartman, chairperson for the UpperWoodstock Resident’s Association, confirmedthat complaints have been received about theintroduction of fences at the site, but he couldnot understand the reasons for this.

“This is exactly what the residents askedfor, but now they say they feel as if they arebeing imprisoned by council, with the fencingpopping up everywhere,” says Baartman.

During last year, Baartman explained thatmany of the residents called for the area to besecured, claiming that suspicious characterswere lurking about and getting involved in an-ti-social behaviour, such as drinking, fightingand drug dealing, around the public facilities.

People’s Post highlighted security con-cerns last year (“Rubble trouble a crimethreat”, 1 June 2010). The report highlightedresidents’ grievances about the open facility,which allowed suspected criminals to entertheir neighbouring properties by jumpingover the walls.

Donna Wyngaard, a concerned resident,said some of the residents were aware of re-quests made for the area to be secured, but“could not imagine that so much fencing wasneeded”.

“The area is surely now secure, so securethat some of the residents struggle to enterthese facilities and we did not want the wholearea to replicate some correctional facility,”says Wyngaard.

Although she acknowledges that the areafeels secure, she encouraged council “to stopadding new fencing to the area”.

Richard Blackie, another resident whoshared similar views, explained that althoughcouncil are “proving their worth” by attend-

ing to the security of the area, they are com-pletely changing the image of the facilitygrounds.

“All you see now is fencing, every little cor-ner is fenced off, with gates and huge padlocks,as if the place is on lockdown, but it’s actuallysupposed to be used by the public,” says Black-ie.

Ward councillor, Cedric Thomas, was “dis-turbed” to hear these concerns.

“This is what the residents wanted fromcouncil and now all of a sudden, they have con-cerns with what they requested,” says Tho-mas.

However, Blackie added that the issue is notwith the concept of the fencing itself, but rath-er with the “large number of the green fencesgoing up”.

Thomas confirmed that the facility is alwaysopen to the public. However, dog owners willhave to sit tight.

“You are not allowed to let your dog runloose at the soccer field, so dog owners mustwait till the new facility is up and running, butthat site will remain locked,” says Thomas.

The new fencing clearly separates the differ-ent usage areas within the Queens Park facili-ty and denies access to the public at night.

The theme, “A better worldthrough creativity”, will beinterpreted in various formsat the Cape Town Internation-al Convention Centre fromFriday 25 February to Sunday27 February.

Lossgott’s art includes en-gravings in plant leaves, aswell as experimental filmsand prints.

He is one of three artistspresenting their work at theAbsa Bank stand.

The filmmaker-turned-art-ist focuses on exploring greenpolitics and systems theorythrough the mediums of per-formance, poetry, motion im-ages and drawing.

In a fragile yet powerfulstatement, he makes minute

incisions, puncturesand impressions intothe tissue of plantleaves to form texts andimages which are onlyvisible against thelight.

Displayed in light-boxes, the perforationsgleam like sparks.

Some of the texts onthe leaves read: “the in-heritance of light”; and“for every branch in atree are a million un-grown branches”.

The artists for the De-sign Indaba were cho-sen from those whowere part of the AbsaL’Atelier, an annualcompetition for artistsbetween the ages of 21and 35.

Woman assaulted in taxiTAURIQ HASSEN

POLICE are on the hunt for a taxi driverwho allegedly sexually assaulted a wo-man in the Woodstock area last month.

According to Sergeant Hilton Malila,spokesperson for the Woodstock Police Sta-tion, the woman waspicked up in MainRoad, Observatory bytwo men driving awhite Quantum taxion Thursday 13 Janu-ary at 13:30.

“The woman wasalone in the taxi withthe men and startednoticing that theywere going off theroute. She immediate-ly asked to be droppedoff, but the men re-fused,” says Malila.

It is alleged that thedriver then pulled in-to a side street, wherethe assistant and dri-ver then “sexually as-saulted the woman”.

“They were drivingtowards Cape Townwhen the incident occurred and the name ofthe side street could not be confirmed by thewoman,” says Malila.

The woman was then dropped off in theMain Road and watched the taxi speeding offin the direction of the N2 highway.

In 2008, People’s Post reported on similarincidents that took place on the Mowbrayroute, where passengers were driven in thewrong directions and eventually robbed oftheir belongings. In all previous incidents,a white kombi was used.

However, Malila says that the latest inci-dent could not be linked to any of the pre-vious cases that were reported.

“Police are currentlypullingupall thepre-vious cases reported to use this informationin the investigation and to determine if there

are any possible links, but for now, we canconfirm there are no links between the cas-es,” says Malila.

According to police, the suspect is in hislate 30s, about 1.77 metres tall, is well builtand light of complexion.

Anybody who may have witnessed the in-cident or has information on the suspect, can

contact the investiga-ting officer, WarrantOfficer RaymondMitchell, on (021) 467-6002 or Crime Stop on086 001 0111.

Police have re-leased some safetytips for women usingthe taxi services:

. If there are no oth-er passengers insidethe taxi, it is advisableto wait for a taxi to fillup or find a fuller taxi,

. Always be vigi-lant of the gender ofthe people using thetaxi.

If the taxi is filledwith men only, ratherwait for another taxi,

. If you become avictim of a crime in

the taxi, always get a clear description of thesuspects involved,

. If you are overpowered, you should notresist, as perpetrators will go to extremes tokeep you quiet,

. If you are off-loaded in an area, screamfor help immediately.

Tarred with the same brushON Saturday 12 February, we, a raciallymixed group ranging from 15 to 45 years, tack-led Lion’s Head for the first time.

Being aware of mountain crime, includingthe robbery of a tourist in the area a week be-fore, we left our valuables in the car.

What was a most enjoyable hiking trip onthe way up turned sour when the teenage boysin the group, all from Khayelitsha, separatedin order to descend at a faster pace than therest. Walking down the winding path farahead of the others, they were met with suspi-cion and fear – some of the hikers they en-countered moved to the very outer edge of the

path, others froze their conversations mid-sentence when they had to pass the boys.

What should have been a pleasurable expe-rience of Cape Town as a city for all was sud-denly marred by those obvious gestures ofmistrust.

We all know that mountain muggers comefrom impoverished communities, but not eve-ry aspiring hiker not wearing up-market hik-ing shoes is a criminal-in-training. The cul-prits have done greater damage than we imag-ined.MARCO SCHMITTCape Town

How to reduce traffic accidentsCERTAIN organisations are promotingthe driving of motor vehicles with head-lights turned on during daylight. As dubi-ous as it may sound, they claim that re-search has shown that this peculiar con-duct reduces accidents. I wonder whetherany person who cannot see traffic inbroad daylight without headlights is fit todrive.

Be that as it may, I have discovered oth-er studies which aim to reduce traffic ac-cidents.

The first such study has found that veryfew accidents occur when vehicles aredriven slower than 30 km/h. It thereforeproposed a new national speed limit of 25km/h on all roads (the extra reduction of5 km/h is just to be extra safe).

The next study found that exceedinglyfew accidents occur while all the vehiclesinvolved are blowing their hooters.

It should therefore be quite obviousthat new law be promulgated to compelmotorists to blow their hooters at all

times on a public road.The final study I found is a true work

of genius. It aimed at finding a solutionto all road accidents – in fact, an unbeliev-able solution for zero road accidents!

In this paradigm it was found that noaccidents ever occurred between motorvehicles that had only three wheels.Strange, but nevertheless true.

Therefore the study proposed that allmotor vehicles have compulsory removalof one of their wheels (which wheel exact-ly canbeoptional) andwewill enter anewera of road safety. QED.

PS. The above studies were conductedby Prof UR Crazynski of the Universityof Upper Slovakia, as part of his doctoralthesis. PPS. I, for one, believe road acci-dents are caused by reckless driving andinconsiderate road use. If we all valuedthe safety of others as much as we valueour own, THAT might make a difference.CONCERNED MOTORISTTokai

Deadly tracksA COMMUNITY is in mourning after the deathlast Thursday of two toddlers knocked downby a train close to their home.

Still just babies, the lifeless little bodies ofbrothers Salie (2) and Faiek (3) were found bytheir young mother Faieka Smith along therailway tracks between Nyanga and Heideveldstations. The devastated parent says she wascooking supper in the family’s Manenbergkitchen while her two boys were happily play-ing within earshot – until they found a way outof the property and wandered off towards therailway tracks.

In their carefree, adventure-filled world, theinnocent pair could not distinguish betweendanger and safety.

The children were Faieka’s whole life. Nowall that awaits her in her modest home, oncefilled with her children’s laughter, are silenceand sadness.

If the young mother could have turned backthe clock, what would she have done different-ly? Would she have insisted that her precioussons play inside, ensured that the gate betweenher house and the street was fully secure, notchosenahouse that close to the railway tracks?

No parent would deliberately endanger theirchildren’s lives, yet the foremost questionasked when news of the toddlers’ death broke,was: “Where was the mother?”

This raises the issue of responsibility, whichin this instance should be ashamedly sharedby the toddlers’ guardians, an apathetic com-munity, vandals from the same communitywho make holes in fences for easy access totheir homes and destructive thieves who steallife-saving fencing.

Should the onus not rest on Metrorail’sshoulders as well? Despite vandalism and theftcosting the rail operator millions of rands eachyear, they cannot neglect to repair and main-tain fencing that is crucial in safeguarding thelives of the people living in the areas theirtrains plough through.

No amount of remorse or hindsight canbring back the two little boys, but a lot can bedone to prevent further loss of life on danger-ous railway tracks.

THE government is proposing amend-ments to the Employment Equity Act tolegislate that affirmative action shouldfocus on national and not provincial de-mographics. The proposal is being criti-

cised for not taking the realities of popu-lation dispersions into account and al-most calling for a re-engineering ofpeople’s settlement patterns.

The cartoon shows the proportionate

breakdown of the Western Cape’s eco-nomically active population (EAP)scratched out and replaced with the popu-lation percentages of the national eco-nomically active population.

New turn in turf tiffNew turn in turf tiffBRIAN GAFFNEY

WHEN it comes to the allocationof astroturfs, the grass will notbe any greener at Grassy Park inthe foreseeable future.

But the Greater Wynberg LFA– which has its headquarters at theRooikrans Avenue Sports Complexin Grassy Park – has vowed to“fight on relentlessly for the astro-

turf it was denied in 2009.The Lotto funding for astroturfs

in rural and township areas formedpart of the 2010 World Cup LegacyProject programme.

“An injustice has been commit-ted and we depend on the Promo-tion of Administrative Justice Act(PAJA) to correct the wrong. We in-tend to fight for fair play for ourchildren and our community untiljustice is done,” said Faiek Cas-siem, the president of Greater Wyn-berg.

The not-so-good news regardingthe astroturf for Greater Wynbergis a sequel to an ongoing war ofwords between the association andSA Football Association (Safa)Cape Town.

The latest twist to the row is thatSafa president, Kirsten Nematan-dani, and Minister of Sport, Simphi-we Mncube, have been drawn intothe fray following correspondenceon the matter from Greater Wyn-berg to Mncube’s office.

Nematandani subsequently dis-closed that Safa endorses Safa CapeTown’s stand. He also advised Mn-cube that Safa Cape Town is the“highest decision making body” inthe Cape Metropole.

According to Safa correspond-ence sent via Safa Cape Town to all

the local Safa Cape Town-affiliatedassociations, there were “norecords showing any process wasfollowed that resulted in the firstturf allocation to Grassy Park(Greater Wynberg)” in April 2009.

Safa also had no objection to SafaCape Town – with president Nor-man Arendse at the helm – settingaside a decision on the Grassy Parkastroturf project.

A fresh process that followed re-sulted in Grassy Park (GreaterWynberg) not qualifying for theproject. A task team appointed bySafa Cape Town then allocated theastroturf to the Helderberg FA atLwandle.

The Greater Wynberg LFA wasone of the first successful appli-cants for the international standardastroturf – courtesy ofR3 million infunding from the Lotto Board.

The board disclosed at the timethat 27 astroturfs would be laidacross South Africa within threeyears at a cost of R81 million – andthat Greater Wynberg was to be oneof the first nine associations to ben-efit from the funding.

But the association’s enthusiasmto become the first affiliate of theSafa Cape Town to receive an astro-turf was dampened when Safa CapeTown questioned the procedures

thatGreaterWynberghad followed.This resulted in the relocation of

the astroturf to Lwandle, which Sa-fa Cape Town task team regarded asbeing more in need of such aproject.

Cassiem is, however, adamantthat the Greater Wynberg LFA –which draws its membership fromGrassy Park, Phumlani, Retreat,Lavender Hill, Steenberg and Vry-grond – is being unfairly treated.

“Where is the Fifa Fair Play poli-cy now?” asked Cassiem.

Cassiem believes his associationdeserves an astroturf on thegrounds that it too is a home forfootballers from several needy are-as.

He also rejected the claim by Nor-man Arendse (Safa Cape Town pres-ident) that his association had not“followed the correct procedure” inapplying for an astroturf in 2009.

“Mr Arendse has never been toour LFA to watch our players atmatches in Grassy Park, Retreatand Vrygrond,” claimed Cassiem.

Cassiem, in correspondence fromGreater Wynberg, declined to com-ment further on the matter, sayingit was “sub judice” as the associa-tion had filed an objection in termsof the Promotion of AdministrativeJustice Act.
