ANGRY residents put a stop to con-struction on the triple-storey flatsin Manenberg on Friday.Shoddy workmanship and fail-
ure to deliver on the proposed up-grades of the council units has ten-ants gnashing their teeth in fury.The City of Cape Town’s failure
to meet with protesters has resi-dents seeing red.However, City officials says it is
premature to judge theworkbeforeit is completed. This had been re-layed to the community by thecommunity liaison officer.Ablock of council rental units on
Duinefontein Road is currently be-ingupgraded.About 4000 unitswillreceive a “spruce up” as part of theupgrade, says Mayoral Committeemember for Human Settlements,Tandeka Gqada.The upgrades include painting,
plumbing overhauls, refitting ofwindows and doors, rewiring elec-trical circuits and gutter cleaning.In addition to this, the surround-ing area receives attention with ef-forts suchasbushclearingand treeplanting.Affected residents are moved to
three temporary accommodationvillages bordering DuinefonteinRoad for a period of about amonthwhile their units are being up-graded.The Manenberg upgrade which
was initially scheduled to be com-pleted by early 2015 could now bedelayed due to residents’ protestaction.Community activist Mario
Wanza says the poor have beendealt a blow by the City.“Residents are concerned about
shoddy workmanship. They wishto meet with City officials to dis-cuss thematter, but their requestshave fallen on deaf ears,” he says.Upgrade specifications given to
residents havenot beenmet,Wan-za says.Resident Dorothy Swartz wants
answers.“The City included removing
the asbestos roof in their specifi-cations, but then the contractorstold us they would not be replac-ing the roof,” she says.However, Gqada says the specifi-
cation will be adhered to.“The specification is however
not a mandate to replace buildingelements that are still sound. The
funds are limited and the items tobe refurbished have to be continu-ally assessed and comparedagainst the availablemoney. Thereis no requirement to replace roofsheets that are in tact. Broken and
damaged roof sheets will be re-placedwithNutecBig 6 profile roofsheets, where required,” she ex-plains.Swartz says residents expected
to move back into their homesthree weeks ago.“I moved out on 20 March and
was told the upgrade would takesix weeks. Nine weeks later we arestill waiting to move back into ourhomes,” she fumes.Gqada attributes the problem to
long weekends.“The available workdays during
this particular cycle were compro-mised by two long-weekends andwe suffered time-delays as a resultof the five days of disruptions dur-ing the last week,” she explains.Swartz has been labelled a “trou-
blemaker” by construction work-ers as she questions why the up-grade is not being done accordingto the specifications theyhad been given before theupgrade began.Swartz has called Ond-
ine Court home for 33
years.A water pipe burst in her build-
ing two weeks ago.“People haven’t even moved in
yet and already there are pipesbursting,” she adds.Acoupling on the coldwater pipe
connected to a bath in Inga Courtwas not securely fit, Gqada says.“Thehomewas completely flood-
ed and contractors responded im-mediately to attend to the waterdamage. The family was relocatedback to the temporary accommoda-tion village while an assessmentwas made to determine the extentto the damages they suffered.“A revamp to the home was or-
dered and all damaged flooring hasnow been replaced. This family isnow back in their unit and a list ofdamages has been agreed on be-tween the contractor and tenants,”she adds.

CHILD abuse cases are on the decline, but fartoo many cases are still being reported.
Cases of neglect and ill-treatment of chil-dren in the province has dropped from 1437in 2004/2005 to 542 in 2011/2012.
In a time when children should be protect-ed, many parents are neglecting their dutiesto love and care for their young ones, saysChild Welfare’s Niresh Ramklass.
However, substance abuse is still contribut-ing to the increase in child abuse and neglectin the city, says Molo Songololo’s Patric Solo-mon.
Parents under the influence of drugs and al-
cohol often turn violent towards their chil-dren, he says.
However, it should not be used as an ex-cuse or mitigating circumstance to reducethe severity of the offence, he says.
Poor parenting is also to blame, Ramk-lass says.
“Parents just have children withoutthinking of the responsibility they have todiscipline, love and care for that child.”
Government plays an important role inprotecting abused children fromneglectfulparents, Solomon says.
“Children of substance abusers need tobe monitored and identified as children inneed of care and protection. They shouldbe removed if parents abuse and neglecttheir children and should be supportedwhere needed. Government, communities,religious organisations, sports and cultur-al groups can all do more to support thesechildren,” Solomon explains.
Child rights organisation Molo Songolo-lo provides direct support and assistanceto child victims of sexual abuse, exploita-tion and trafficking and their families to fa-cilitate their healing, recovery and re-inte-gration back into school and the communi-ty.
Solomon believes substance abuse is en-demic and causes various challenges forchildren when their parents are abusers.
A holistic and dynamic solution is re-quired to address the problem.
“Our responses to prevent and combat it
must include job creation, poverty allevia-tion, community development, delivery ofsupport services, effective child care and aprotection system. We need to increase op-portunities to access appropriate activitiesfor children and parents,” Solomon explains
Provincial minister of Social Develop-ment, Albert Fritz, says as a parent, it isfirstly your responsibility to ensure the safe-ty and protection of your children.
“Services are available to those parentswho need assistance, so we want to encour-age parents to familiarise themselves withtheir local social development office and notto wait until things are completely out ofhand,” Fritz says.
He encourages people to report childabuse cases to his department or the nearestpolice station.
Children who are maltreated have verydifferent social behaviour in comparison tochildren who come from loving homeswhere domestic violence is not prevalent,Ramklass adds.
“Often children who are abused are with-drawn or they are aggressive and hyperac-tive. Many of them have attitude problems.It is not that they are naughty; it is just thatthey are damaged,” he explains.
Suzette Little, the Mayoral Committeemember for Social Development, says theCity has introduced trauma kits for victimsof domestic violence.
In a bid to reduce the trauma of abusedwomen and children, council will be distrib-
ute trauma kits to Victim Support Units atpolice stations in Mitchell’s Plain, Manen-berg, Hanover Park, Athlone, Lotus Park,Bishop Lavis, Valhala Park, Bonteheuwel,Harare, and Ocean View, she explains.V Community members who are in dire need of reliefand who need to extricate themselves from abusivesituations can phone the City’s Social Developmenttollfree number 0 0800 872 201.

ATHLONE POLICE have steppedup patrols and spot searches inBokmakierie after a student wasmurdered Spes Bona High Schoolon Wednesday last week.Glenrico Martins (17) from
Manenberg was shot in the head ataround 08:00 that morning and lat-er died from the wound at GrooteSchuur Hospital.The shooting has triggeredwide-
spread concern for the safety of theschool’s other pupils.Constable Zita Norman, spokes-
person for Athlone Police, says theparents shouldn’t be concerned asthe police have upped their pres-ence in the surrounding areas.“High-intensity searches are be-
ing done in Bokmakierie becausemost of the students from theschool live in this area,” she says.“Two vans are patrolling the pe-
rimeters of the school area. The fo-cus should be on the outside of theschool so that no perpetrators canenter. There are also surveillancecameras and security guards at theschool.”Norman says around 20 houses
have already been searched as partof the increased operations andadds that two men were arrestedfor possession of unlicensed fire-arms on the day of the incident.Currently, the only details
known about the shooting is thatMartins was shot by three menwho were dressed in Spes Bona
school uniforms.An 18-year-old was arrested in
Bonteheuwel on Friday and a 19-year-old from Athlone was takeninto custody on Thursday eveningin connection with the school
shooting.They appeared in the Athlone
Magistrate’s Court yesterday(Monday).
Norman says police are certainthat the incident is gang-related.
“After much investigation, thishas been confirmed. Witnesses in-formed us that the deceased andthe people who shot the deceasedare affiliated to rival gangs,” shesays.
Bronagh Casey, the spokesper-son forprovincial educationminis-ter Donald Grant, says the schoolhad several other safety measuresin place at the time of the shooting.“SpesBona iswell equippedwith
security systems, including CCTV,metal detectors, security gates andalarms, and implements a well-de-veloped safety plan,” she says.Spes Bona currently has securi-
ty cameras at its front entrance,but Norman says the footage willnot be of any help in the investiga-tion as the victim and gunmen en-tered through the school’s back en-trance.The provincial education depart-
ment sent officials to investigatethe incident on the day of the at-tack to determine whether the“school environment is safe andstable”, to provide “counsellingand support” and to arrange theadded police presence in the sur-rounding areas. Grant also visitedthe school on Thursday.According to Casey, 50% of Spes
Bona’s pupils stayed absent fromthe school on Thursday.Both Grant and Norman have
urged parents to allow their chil-dren to return to school.She adds that the police will also
be making random visits to theschool throughout the day.

GGOVERNMENT hopes to execute a pro-posed plan to centralise tertiary educa-tion applications.
The system will come into effect in 2015and applicants will pay a once-off fee to havetheir applications sent to the educational in-stitutions at which they want to study.Here’s what readers had to say.
WWALALTERTER HENDRICKSHENDRICKS says he does not trust thegovernment’s plan to centralise university appli-cations. “I’m very sceptical of government’s initia-tive and I know that they will disappoint the peo-ple, as they always do.”
TTAATUMTUM HOLLOWAYHOLLOWAY says the centralised systemis a bad idea. “People should apply to the institu-tions on their own. Government should use re-sources to fix the health and education system.”
NICHOLAS VNICHOLAS VORSORSTERTER says there are advantagesto the new centralised system. “It will make lifeeasier and allow more people to access tertiaryeducation. People need to trust the governmentand hope that nothing gets lost in the process.”
MONIQMONIQUEUE MARMARAISAIS doesn’t think government willbe able to navigate the initiative successfully.“Everything within government is overshadowedby politics and very little is about the people.”
MOEGMOEGAMAT SAMAT SAHIBOAHIBO says people should apply tothe universities directly. “Students should havefree choice about which universities they want toapply to and should do that on their own.”
LLUVUYOUVUYO TWTWALINGCAALINGCA says there are pros and consto the system. “It will help in terms of finances,as people will only have to pay once. I don’t thinkgovernment will inform people in advance aboutwhich institution they’ve been accepted to.”
KIMKIM MCNULMCNULTYTY is positive about the proposed sys-tem and says South Africans should give it achance. “It’s an expensive process to pay a feeeach time you apply to an institution, without anycertainty of being accepted.”

THE return of a social media site used totrash each other and spread rumours hassome pupils scared of becoming a victim.A social media site, OuToilet, was first
heard of a few years ago. The site is used toanonymously gossip and badmouth otherteens.A pupil says the things mentioned on the
site are “usuallyhurtful” andoftenunfound-ed.High school learner Ashleigh Kennedy
says although the hype around the site hasbeen quiet for awhile she has recently heardof people using it again.“Some of my friends have heard of ru-
mours being spread again on the websiteand this makes me worried,” she says.“People say the rudest things on that site
and everybody can see it. I know of manypeople who have got in fights or ended theirfriendships because of things that were saidon OuToilet,” Kennedy says.Her friend, a matric pupil who did not
want to be named, says he has been a victimof rumours on the site before and fears peo-ple will spread rumours again.“People don’t realise how hurtful it is
when they say things that aren’t true. I wasaccused of (doing sexual favours) for otherboys and had to go see a psychologist be-cause I didn’t knowwhat to do orhow tohan-dle the rumours anymore,” he says.Madeleine Flack, the principal of Voor-
trekker High School, says it has recentlybeen brought to her attention that the sitehas resurfaced. “My prefects came to tellmethat the sight was back, but with a newname. They then showedmewhatwas beingsaid.“It is frustrating to have issues resulting
from (pupils) bad-mouthing each other on so-cial network sites land onmy desk,” she says.Flack first heard about the site three years
ago when it caused trouble among the pupilsat school.“It is terrible what children say on these
sites and there have been many fights whichhave resulted from things said over socialme-dia sites. “I think it is important that we be-come pro-active about what is happening andget the parents involved,” Flack says.She addressed the issue in the school’s as-
sembly last week but feels parents need to beaware of what their children are doing ontheir cellphones. “It is important that parentsregularly check their children’s cellphones sothat they can see what they are using thephone for and, if need be, take it away.As edu-cators we can’t do that,” Flack adds.She says in the past the school has invited
groups to come and discuss the dangers of so-cial networking and the fact that “eventhough they remove something they’ve saidfrom their cellphone it stays on the internetforever”. “We have a strict policy and no cell-phones are allowed on the premises but it isimpossible to search all the children everyday. So if you are caught with a cellphone itis taken away and the parent needs to cometo school and pay R100 to get it back,” Flacksays.Keith Richardson, the principal of Wyn-
berg Boys’ High School, says he had hoped itwas an issue of the past as he hasn’t heardabout it for a few months.He says the school previously had problems
with the site but adds he will be enquiringabout the site resurfacing, as it has not yetbeen brought to his attention.“We have been picking up problems with
social networks such as BBM and the thingsbeing said over these networks,” Richardson
says.He feels as adults it is important to edu-
cate children about manners, behaviourand what is socially acceptable.“Parents need to knowwhat the children
are using their phones for, what they arelooking at andwhat they are talking about.If they are taking chances and are bad-mouthing others we need to tell them thatthis isn’t right and is not the right socialbehaviour,” Richardson says.He explains the school wants to promote
the best social behaviour and academicsand therefore does not allow pupils to usetheir cellphones during the day.“The boys aren’t allowed to use their
cellphones at school unless their teachersays in advance they may bring theirphone for academic purposes.“They are not even allowed to use it dur-
ingbreak times, aswewant themtobe talk-ing to other children and not on theirphones,” Richardson says.He emphasises that if a pupil is found
with a cellphone it is confiscated for threemonths. “If smart phones are used asteaching aids we might revisit the policy
but for now cellphones are not allowed dur-ing school hours.”He saysmany fights and incidentshaveoc-
curred as a result of things said on social net-works but adds: “If we find a boy has beeninvolved in badmouthing others on thesesites we will call him in as well as the par-ents.”Police spokesperson Captain Andre Ven-
ter says they are well aware of incidents oc-curring at schools as a result of “trash talk-ing on social networks”. “I’ve hadmyhandsfull regarding this issue. Many schools haveasked us to address the children regardingcyber-bullying,” Venter says.He points out that they have been notified
of many fights and threats being madeamongpupils at schools. “During school vis-its we even have parents coming up to us tocomplain about things their children haveshown them on their cellphones. Things arebeing said about children and they see itwhile sitting in class which is a very seriousconcern,” Venter says.Cyber-bullying is a big concern as it can
lead to suicide “if children don’t have thenecessary support”..

DESPITEcalls fromresidents for the closureof the AromaDrop Inn bottle store in BridgeWay, Crawford, it seems little can be doneto address the residents’ concerns.The bottle store draws “unsavoury char-
acters”, says resident Tracy Schaw.“Youhave people squattingnear the bottle
store, and criminals hide amongst them,”she says.Schawclaims she is aware of several crim-
inal incidents which took place in front ofthe store.“There was a robbery and attempted rape,
and instead of helping, the street people justturned their back and allowed it to happen.They are protecting criminals.”There are also complaints of drinking in
public and fights, Schaw says.There are usually between three and five
street people who gather in front the petrolstation in Bridge Way near the bottle store,says Winifred Matshanya, the store manag-er at the garage.However, the vagrants are only a concern
when there is not security on duty at the pet-rol station, he says. “It’s not often, but whenthey do come it’s bad. They harass the cus-tomers.”However, residents of Taronga Road who
live only a block away from the liquor store,say they have not had any problemswith thevagrants in the area. “They aren’t a distur-bance,” says one resident, who asks not tobe named. “They look out for the residentsin the area. They just drink theirwineunderthe bridge.”Another resident says he has never had
any problems with vagrants.Sarah Gensville, one of the street people
in the area, says although she doesn’t fre-quent the liquor store she thinks the streetpeople in the area should respect the home-owners’ wishes.“You shouldn’t sit on the street and drink.
You must respect the residents in the area.”Despite several attempts, AromaDrop Inn
was not available for comment, although astaff member divulged that in an attempt toreduce the number of street people in the ar-ea, the liquor store fenced in the pavingaround the shop to prevent vagrants from
sleeping on their property.They are now looking toLawEnforcement
to solve the problem.For Schaw, there is only one solution.
“The bottle store needs to go. You can’t havea bottle store in a residential area.”Although there are three Law Enforce-
ment officers paid to patrol the streets,Schaw maintains “they are not enough”.However, theproblemdoesnot liewith the
liquor store or the number of Law Enforce-ment officers, says ward councillor AntheaGreen. “Some of those street people havebeen there for years. They will still be therewithout the bottle store. The bottle store isonly part of the problem. We have Law En-forcement that patrols the site but they canonly police bylaws, such as public urination.They can’t tell the street people to leave thearea.”Additionalmeasuresmaybe implemented
but will have limited success, she says.“They are homeless, and that’s how they
chose to be. They won’t go away.”

THE debate on the legalisation ofprostitution has been reopened af-ter the Commission for GenderEquality lastweek announced thatthe profession should be decrimi-nalised.This comes after a report by the
organisation found “the currentlegal regime that criminalises sexwork has failed sex workers andperpetuated substantive abuse oftheir constitutional rights”.Sex work should be regarded as
any other profession, the commis-sion says, and should be governedby existing labour and businesslaws intended to prevent unsafe,exploitative and unfair businesspractices.However, the legalisation
should not apply to abusive prac-tices suchasunderage and coercedsex work, which should remaincriminal offences and should bediligently investigated and prose-cuted, the report stated.A policy document still needs to
be submitted to parliament for re-view, which does not necessarilymean the suggestions will be draft-ed into law, explains Sex WorkersEducation and Advocacy Task-force (Sweat) advocacy officer,Ntokozo Yingwana.In other countries where prosti-
tution has been legalised, such asNew Zeland, relations between po-lice and sex workers has improvedto the extent that sex workers will
often report women who are beingcoerced,minors or human traffick-ing themselves, Yingwana says.The Western Cape has almost 16
000 sex workers, according to a re-port by Sweat, and almost half ofthose work in or around CapeTown.Cape Town resident Ace Swartz
wholehearted agrees with the com-
mission’s stance.“Legalising prostitution allows
for better control, and the govern-ment could even tax it. Sex work-ers will have more rights and willbe able to receive health checkslike HIV tests. It will also result inless harassment from police.”However, not everyone has wel-
comed the commission’s position.
Women’s rights group EmbraceDignity’s deputy director JeremyRoutledge says the organisation isin opposition of legalisation.“We have yet to see a position pa-
per, but we don’t support decrimi-nalisation, and we don’t believeSouth Africa should become apimp state.”He suggests a system of partial
criminalisation, where althoughsex workers are not charged,pimps and clients are.Also against the decriminalisa-
tion is ACDP provincial leaderFerlon Christians.“Legalising prostitution has
less to do with human rights andmore to do with the industry.We’re against the entire sex in-dustry and believe the usershould be targeted, with exit pro-grammes and rehabilitationmade available to sex workers,”Christians says.Some locals have also taken a
hard stance.Wendy Williams has mixed
feelings about the sex trade. “It’sa demeaning job for a woman todo but I understand why somewould want to legalise it. I don’twant to promote the occupationthough,” she says.Kyle Turmur says he would
never support the legalisation ofprostitution. “I think it’s wrongfor a woman to do that, and evenworse for a man to pay for it,” hesays.However, the commission “is of
the firm view that sex workers inSouth Africa cannot be denied(their) rights, regardless of anymoral or religious response to thepractice of sex work in our socie-ty”. The suggested legislature willaim to shift the focus of law en-forcement to ensuring the safety,security and protection of prosti-tutes.

THE mid-year examinations are starting tooccupy the minds of many students acrosscampuses in South Africa.
For those who are not studying this yearand others who might be considering otheroptions, now is the time to make big deci-sions regarding future education and ca-reers.
According to an education expert, mid-year exams are often a wake-up call for stu-dents to apply themselves for the rest of theyear while for others it will be just rewardfor hard work.
Dr Felicity Coughlan, the director of theIndependent Institute of Education, saysthe mid-year period can also bring the un-fortunate realisation of a wrong choice.
“Many students might now be realisingthey made the wrong decisions – or hadthese made for them – about their choice ofstudies and know that no matter what effortthey put in, the results are going to be disap-pointing,” she says.
“The mid-year period is not normally theideal time to make big decisions. Studentsshould seek support if they are feeling achange is required because not making a de-cision could be more damaging in the longrun.”
Most institutions have good student sup-port services which can help a student orprospective student with anything from ge-neric study skills to actual course content.
“Peers or lecturers can play an equallyimportant part in enabling a student to un-lock the doors standing between them andmastery of a particular subject or field ofstudy. Peer support is often most valuableas it is least threatening for students,”Coughlan says. “But then it is very impor-tant for the student to select the rightpeers.”
She says students should not wait untilthe year-end, but use the mid-year monthsto seek help and support.
“Students and prospective students needto enlist expert assistance in their educa-tion and career choices.”
She says it is not surprising to discoverthat many students who are strugglingmight be doing courses which do not matchtheir temperament or their aspirations or,perhaps most distressingly, courses theyknew they did not want to do, but enrolledin under pressure or as a result of limitedalternatives.
Under these circumstances failure is farmore likely.
“Young people register for courses formany reasons and some of the most prob-lematic and common ones are associatedwith living out parents’ or others’ careerdreams.”
Often educators hear students say “my fa-ther wanted me to be a lawyer” or “I am justfollowing the trend because everyone in my
school wanted to do engineering”.Some are registered for courses they be-
lieve to be the only ones open to them, sheexplains.
But, Coughlan says, all is not lost as thesestudents have various options they shouldconsider.
. Stick to the course and, if successful,make decisions at the end of the year aboutfuture plans.
. Change track at the institution you arecurrently studying at, if it is possible, andnotch up new semester courses.
. Consider making tougher decisions,which might include quitting the course en-tirely or change campus and start up some-where else.
“The various options are not easy deci-sions. Giving up is not something anyonereally wants to do, but there are times whenmaking the right decision to start again setsyou on a path of success you would not getfrom merely hanging in.
“The mid-year crunch time is a great op-portunity to reconsider all your options,both for the students who are currentlystudying and those who did not embark ona course of study at the February intake.”
Particularly for the latter group, she says,a mid-year start at an institution that ac-cepts enrolments will give you an opportu-nity to gain at least some academic creditin the year and will make the remainder ofyour qualification less onerous.
“The reality is that many students whodid not start studying in February were un-decided or did not get in to their first choiceinstitutions. These students are most likelyto benefit from the smaller enrolmentgroups often found in mid-year intakes.
“If students decide the best option is tostick to the current course at least for therest of the year, they should still make surethey have a viable ‘Plan B’ for 2014. Far toomany students find themselves with no-where to go after failing in their first year.
“Even though no one plans to fail, the ad-age of failing to plan really rings true, notonly for school leavers. It is essential to planahead otherwise you could easily be caughtshort.
“The path to success is different andunique for each student. For some the bestoption remains to stay the course and perse-vere. And for others, the correct and bravechoice will be to make the right change forthe right reasons and recommit to the rightpath to success.”
She adds: “The best course of action is toseek professional educational advice andnot try to solve tertiary education and fu-ture career options on your own. Failureand disappointment are scary, but theirconsequences are less dire if they are facedas just another of life’s tough moments andnot as defining who one is or will be.”

WHEELS24
TTHE third generation of Fiat’s five-doorPanda has been launched in South Afri-ca with claims of more space, comfort,
functionality, technology and safety.Although still a very compact car, Fiat
says, the Panda has grown a few centimetresto 3.65m long, 1,64m wide and 1.55m tall, but“can comfortably accommodate five peopleand has one of the most spacious boots in itssegment at 225 litres”.
That, the automaker adds, grows to 260 li-tres with the sliding rear seat fully forwardand 870 litres with the rear seats folded.
At launch, the 2013 Panda is available withthe same 51kW 1.2 Fire petrol engine and twotrim levels – Pop and Lounge – seven bodycolours, three interior trim combinationsand 14” steel or 15” alloy rims.
New features include an optional“Blue&Me TomTom LIVE” that combinesthe advantages of an infotainment systemwith portable satnav.
The Panda has had a remarkable history:it was Car of the Year in 2004, the first com-pact with a diesel engine (1986) and the firstto offer all-wheel drive (1983) and a range ofeco-friendly engines designed to limit fuelconsumption (the Panda Elettra was intro-duced in 1990, one of the first electric cars).
It was also the first 4x4 city car to reachEverest’s base camp at an altitude of 5200m(2004). All that since the first Panda wasshown at the 1980 Geneva auto show; it tookonly four years for a million to be on road.
This the latest model, Fiat says, “set outto create true sentimental value between carand user” by “brimming with personalityand value”.
The cars’ rounded exterior promises adrag co-efficient down to 0.32, “one of thebest in the competitive segment”.
The rear light-clusters, we’re told, havebeen arranged higher up to reduce the possi-bility of car-park damage; those at the frontcontinue down the wings “to give the exteri-or an additional three-dimensional effect”.
The new cabin facia has been designed asa multipurpose shell containing a roomystorage pocket, as well as a glove box and the
whole has been wrapped in a colourfulframe.
The front seats (with anti-whiplash) cantravel through 210mm with vertical adjust-ment maxing at 60mm (Lounge model).Putting the gearshifter on the facia freedmore front legroom.
The cabin, Fiat promises, has 14 storagecompartments.
Four airbags are standard along with anti-lock brakes, emergency braking assistance,
belt pre-tensioners and electronic stabilitycontrol and child-seat anchors.
The 51kW/102Nm 1.2 EVO II engine is thelatest evolution of the popular FIRE familyand claims 5.2 litres. Transmission is five-speed manual.
Aircon is fitted to the Lounge model andthe Blue&Me system includes voice-control-led, hands-free cellphone comms for fivephones and can accommodate MP3, WMA,AAC and WAV formats, recorded on digital
audio players and/or USB devices.All of the above, Fiat says, has resulted in
a car “that represents the passion, designand building ability of a brand born over acentury ago”.
The new Fiat Panda is available from 36Fiat dealers across SA and comes with athree-year or 100 000km full maintenanceplan and warranty. Pricing starts at R139 990for the Pop version and R154 990 for theLounge, including VAT and CO² tax.

CHECKLIST: TOP TIPS FOR YOUR CAR
Myths everywoman drivershould knowTHERE are many mis-
perceptions about carmaintenance every
woman driver shouldknow.
That’s according to LesMcMaster, chairperson ofthe Motor Industry Work-shop Association (Miwa).
And he should know.He’s been active in the mo-tor industry for 42 years.“Over the years I haveseen some strange practic-es and heard misconcep-tions about motor vehi-cles.”
He gives a few mythbusters every womanshould bear in mind.
Storage compartment: It’s a car... not anextension of the wardrobe! The moreweight you’re carrying around, the morefuel you’re using and, therefore, the moreit will cost you. Assign one day a week toempty out the contents of your car.
Checking your oil and water levels is onething you should not put off! If your carruns out of oil, the engine will have no lu-brication, seize up and die, leaving youwith a car that doesn’t work and a hefty me-chanic’s bill. Checking your oil once amonth can prevent this. Make sure your carhas been stopped (engine turned off) for fiveminutes or so, open the bonnet, pull out thedipstick from the engine, then wipe and re-place it, before pulling it out again. The oillevel should be between the minimum andmaximum marks. If it’s not, top it up.
Having your aircon on uses more fuelthan opening the window. This is a com-mon myth. At most speeds, if the car win-dow is open, the coefficient drag is enoughto make your car work harder thus usingmore fuel. In fact, it uses about the sameamount of fuel as having your airconturned on.
Seat upright close to steering wheel posi-tion: Sitting in an upright position close tothe steering wheel is not a wise position asit inhibits the amount of movement that isrequired to safely manage the controls. Fe-male drivers are prone to adopting this po-sition as they need to see the nose of the ve-hicle for accurate measurement of distanc-es. Adopt a more reclined position withyour arms at a comfortable “V” shape. Thatis, slightly extended and not an “L” shape
with your elbows tucked upagainst your sides.
Changing tyres or gettinga flat: Putting the gear leverinto “park” won’t stop thevehicle from moving andfalling off the jack, once lift-ed. If you have passengersonboard, have them get out,and apply the handbrake astight as it will go. Switch theengine off.
Open the boot and ensurethat the spare wheel is athand before undoing thewheel. I’ve seen many a rearend of a vehicle in the airwith wheels off and the driv-er unable to get to the sparewheel in the boot. The bis-
cuit wheel is an emergency wheel and can-not be used indefinitely. Have the flat re-paired immediately.
Testing the fuel gaugeThis may sound a little bit silly, but the
‘E’ on your petrol gauge does not stand for‘enough’! If you’re running on reserve findthe nearest petrol station and top up. Notonly is it dangerous if you get caught outwithout fuel, it’s not good for your engineeither.
Stockings do not make a good replace-ment for a fan belt: Unless you’re drivinga 1969 Ford Escort, stockings do not makea good replacement for a fan belt. Modernmotor vehicles have a serpentine beltwhich drives all the moving components at-tached to the engine and pantihose stock-ings will not be able to drive these compo-nents. Make time to understand how theserpentine belt works.
Clutch ridingKeeping your foot on the clutch while
driving will not help you change gearsmore smoothly. Rather the thrust bearingis being overworked by constant pressurefrom the fingers of the pressure plate whichwill ruin the thrust bearing and cause pre-mature clutch failure.
“Remember to regularly get your vehicleserviced,” advises Mc Master.
“It’s far more cost effective and less dan-gerous to maintain your vehicle ratherthan waiting for a part to break and thenreplacing it. Don’t be afraid to ask ques-tions about your vehicle and what is beingdone during a service and always use a rep-utable workshop.
HANDY TIPS: Les McMaster
Time to re-think industryWHEELS24
THE former boss of Volvo does not thinkelectric cars are the future of the automo-tive industry – fear is the key.
The thought of a car battery being de-pleted and leaving you stranded is whatconcerns people the most.
Stefan Jacoby, former Volvo chief exec-utive officer, said: “If the battery goesdown on their cellphone people feel reallybad. If it’s your car in the middle of a traf-fic jam you will feel even worse.”
It is that emotional connection which isa major obstacle for electric vehicles, aswell as the price.
Such issues are being addressed, butJacoby added: “I don’t believe EV’s willhave a major role in the future. They willhave some sort of role, for example in cit-ies as taxis or urban delivery vehicles, butfor a normal household, no. Over the next10-15 years we will see various hybrid so-lutions, mated to the conventional inter-nal combustion engine playing the domi-nant role.”Fleet Magazine reports that, as technol-
ogy moves on, the internet will play an in-creasing role in the car buying process,but there is still a place for the traditionaldealer. Jacoby says: “Although they willdo all their research online, and in manycases be better informed than salespeople,customers still want to drive the car atsome point before making a commit-ment.”
Dealers would still have to move withthe times and re-think their businessmodel.
“I was surprised when the South Kore-an automakers came into Europe andthey kept with the traditional dealer net-work model. This has worked for them
and now they have really cool products,but I think they had an ideal opportunityto try something new.”
By new, he means tapping in to the in-ternet and social networks.
“Taking the car to the customer ratherthan waiting for them to walk through theshowroom door. There is no reason whyyou can’t do away with expensive city cen-tre dealerships and have out-of-town serv-ice centres with a showroom element at-tached.”
Jacoby also previously headed up VW’soperations in Asia and North Americaand was CEO of Mitsubishi Europe, re-ports Fleet Magazine.
He says: “I’m looking at the industryfrom the outside for the first time in 27years. One thing that has changed fromwhen I started out is that this is no longera job for life or one where you are neces-sarily in the same place all the time.
“When I started out in 1995 you onlycompeted with your fellow Germans. Nowyou have to compete with people fromChina, India and all over the world. Thepace of change has also picked up – justlook at communication: it took radio 38years to reach an audience of 50-million,TV took 13 years, the internet four yearsand Twitter just nine months.
“With model development and life-cycletimes of 10 years the motor industry isstarting to lag behind. It has to learn tomove more quickly.”
Jason Kavanagh, engineering editor atthe research firm edmunds.com, said theUS power grid could not support largenumbers of electric vehicles which needconstant charging.
Kavanagh asserted: “You would need amultitude of small nuclear power stationsto support that recharging.”

App to get yousafely homeIF YOU’VE had one too many an innovativenew cellphone app aims to get you homesafely.
Called Dryver, the app has been launchedby the liquor outlet section of a nationalchainstore. Dryver is being punted as a firstfor South Africa.
With new liquor legislation imminent, thechainstore has taken a proactive lead in ad-dressing the issue of drinking and driving,says a statement.
The severely restricting laws will call fora total ban on liquor advertising in the tradi-tional media, prohibit sports sponsorshipsand outlaw a range of other promotional ac-tivities involving liquor.
“Weaim to affect positive change… imme-diately and in the future,” says Mark Robin-son, Group Liquor Manager for the chain-store. “We know the effects of drinking anddriving and we want to give our customersa solution; making them aware they have achoice to be responsible.”
The app is “tipsy-friendly” and simple touse. By creating a mobile community net-work of friends from one’s existing phonecontacts, help or a lift home can be arrangedif you’ve had one too many.
Users can set their status to “Dryving” or“Drinking”. Friends can view one another’sstatuses and connect with each other beforethey set out for a social occasion or use Dry-ver when they’re already out. “DesignatedDrivers” can be agreed on in advance andthis can be communicated to the group.
The “Rescue Me” option can be activatedif you’re feeling too tipsy to contact a frienddirectly.
The dryver.mobi. app is paired with net-working and geo-location technology and isavailable for Apple, Android, Windows andBlackberry Smartphones.

AS THE country welcomes one son, the nationmourns another.After being embroiled in a legal wrangle for some
nine months, Professor Cyril Karabus finally re-turned to his Kenilworth home on Friday.He has reportedly said he felt like a stranger in his
own house. The paediatric oncologist is quoted assaying: “I don’t know where anything is. I can’t finda cup or a spoon.”The story of his incarceration in the United Arab
Emirates, following his arrest in connectionwith thedeath of a girl who had died in his care more than10 years previously, has made Karabus a householdname.Until his plight unfolded in the media, the 78-year-
old Karabus had not likely been as well-known be-yond medical circles. Simply by gauging the warmCape Town welcome he had received – from family,friends and even strangers – the doctor is somewhatof a celebrity.Without doubt, SABC 2’s Morning Live presenter
Vuyo Mbuli has earned his celeb status.In a time when there were few black presenters on
TV, the snappydresser shifted in front of the camerasand won over a cross-section of countrymen.His sudden death, the cause of which has yet to be
confirmed, has come as a shock to faithful viewers.His co-anchor LeanneManas has said she had “lost
my morning husband”. Indeed, it will take his col-leagues and viewers awhile to get used to BraVuyo’sempty seat.Whoever is to fill Mbuli’s shoes should remember
it is a big ask. A generation of South Africans grewup to the banter ofMbuli andManas as they got readyfor work or school each week day.Mbuli has been a guest in South African house-
holds, imparting his opinions and sharing snippetsof life. Now his voice is silent. Rest in peace, BraVuyo. Shap shap!
Metrorail a ‘soft target’CRAWFORD (commuters) were disgustedby the way Metrorail security staff treatedschool children on Friday at 7:45.The children were on their way to school
only to be imprisoned by Metrorail securitystaff because some of themhad no train tick-ets. Some of them are (writing) exams andholding them does not help their situation.Do we not realise the danger we place onthese children by making them late? Havewe not learnt how these kids get shot whencoming late or on their way to school in themorning – like the Spes Bona child?We understand there are rules and regula-
tions, but it does notwork if youhave doublestandards. On another day you would letthem go with a warning and sometimes al-low them to pass.But (Metrorail) security staff thought they
have the right to lift their hands at the chil-dren. Teachers are not even allowed to lifttheirhands.Thereweremanywitnesses andwe were appalled at the ignorance and bru-tality of the security staff who want to takethe law into their own hands and hit inno-cent children they were alreadymaking latefor school.(Metrorail) security even wanted to con-
fiscate my cellphone (because I was) takingpictures. Had they placed a finger on me Iwould have sued.This is an outcry for Metrorail to ensure
the safety of our commuters. How can we besafe if we are not even protected from yourown security? Instead, our children havebeen victimised.Justin AndrewsMetrorail regional manager Mthuthuze-li Swartz replies: It is Metrorail’s duty toensure all commuters travel legally and, bydoing so, inculcate the culture of paymentfor services.Travelling without a valid ticket or in the
incorrect travelling class for the ticket pur-chased is a criminal offence in terms of theLegal Succession Act, Act 9 of 1989.Without the aid of technology (automated
ticket vending machines and ticket scan-ners), Metrorail has no option but to rely onhuman intervention. Themost effectivewayto deal with thematter is through special ac-tions and optimal deployment of resources,based on analysis of ticket sales and com-muter numbers. These comprise random ac-
tions on trains and at stations with space toprocess commuters.Trains targeted for action are stopped for
10 to 15 minutes to enable staff to check thevalidity of tickets.Those found to be in contravention of the
law are required to wait in the station’sprocessing area until they have been proc-essed. Not every station has sufficient spaceto conduct actions. Many defaulters offerreasons for having transgressed the law andMetrorail staff have the unenviable task tomake a judgment call as towhich emergencyis valid or not.Pupils found without valid tickets are re-
moved from trains and their parents’ detailsobtained. They are not “apprehended” andonlyheld for as long as it takes to get the rele-vant details. Parents are held responsible toensure children travel with valid tickets.We do not condone anymisconduct by our
security staff and pupils should not be sub-jected to unacceptable behaviour.Pupils and their parents should note the
risk of not having a valid ticket, which istheir insurance in case of an accident. With-out it they risk being denied compensation.Many pupils continue to travel without
valid tickets with impunity and are unableto pay the penalty when caught. Metrorailcannot be held responsible for pupils arriv-ing late at school due to negligence on theirpart. Children must have the discipline toarrive in time and with a valid ticket.Metrorail Protection Service and security
should not mix children with adults. Theymust be processed quickly enough so thatthey are not late to attend their classes.We assure the public that suitable process-
ing areas are identified before special ticketverification drives andMetrorail employeeshave again been advised how to deal withyoung patrons.Hundreds of fare-paying commuters com-
plain daily about fellow non-paying passen-gers invading premium space in MetroPluscarriages. It adds unnecessary pressure toalready over-subscribed ultra peak hours.Some 185 offenders are prosecuted month-
ly for rail-related offences. I get the impres-sion Metrorail is seen as a soft target. Thesame demands placed on us are not placedon other State-owned entities. No one goesto MyCiTi or SAA and demand a free ride.
Your SMSes.I amgoing toLondonwhere train fares anddoors work well.
. Why do the commuters always com-plain about train fare increases? When thenew trains come in 2015 there will be a 100%increase. All you commuters, pay.
. I have travelled by train for more than30 years, but not a week goes by without de-lays. The service is poor. Lyn
. Instead of putting up the fares why nothave the ticket office open selling tickets?On Sunday 12May at least 15 passengers goton a train at midday. The ticket office wasclosed so none of us paid. We got off and noonewas there to ask for our tickets or collectthe fare. This also happened on our returnjourney. If Metrorail should collect faresfrom every passenger, I would think theycould lower their prices. Free rider
. I was part of the group of 15 with “FreeRider” on Mother’s Day. This has been mysecond free ride in two weeks. I rode thetrain for free on both occasions simply be-cause there was no one to pay my fare to.IfMetrorail bothered to collect fares fromusall, they would not need to raise them andhurt those who commute regularly! Ezirida
. My wife travels by train every day andI worry about her safety, although there area lot of “security, guards and protection”personnel. It is nothingmore than shelteredemployment as they are “just there”. Whattraining do they get as most are too lazy andoverweight to chase and catch anyone. Theyaremerely ticket checkers and are only visi-ble when there are big concerts and otherevents.
. I would think if the muggers had to payto get on the train no crime would happen.
. Increasing the train fare for Metrorailis ridiculous.Whynot just ensure fare is tak-en from all those using the train? I occasion-ally use the train, but there’s never anyoneto take the fare. Security guards are about–mostly paying no attention to what’s goingon and chatting in a group, but no ticket offi-cials. Further, with all the security, howcome the seats are all ripped and the cush-ions missing?

Callies dent YoungStars promotion hopesLIAM MOSES
YOUNG STARS’ hopes of promotionback to Division One suffered a blowwhen the team’s derby clash against
Caledonian Roses RFC finished in a 14-14draw on Saturday.Stars held the lead for majority of the
game, but a late fight-back from Callies atGreen Point Track saw the points sharedbetween the rivals.Stars coach Magadien Jappie has had to
adjust his aims for this season, but still be-lieves promotion is achievable.“My first goal as coach is just to finish
in the top three, but I will be happy if wereach the top five,” says Jappie.“I had to adjust my goal, because of the
results from last week and this week. Ithink it is definitely achievable, becausewestill have about 12 games left.”The match between the old foes was
scrappy and unstructured, but both sideswere clearly committed and determined tocome away with the full points.Although the teams were level on the
scoreboard, Stars were arguably the betterside on the park.While Callies persisted with the ill-ad-
vised approached of spreading the ball to
their backs from practically every ruck,with little to no effect, Stars attacked thegain line with ferocity and at least attempt-ed to gain some go-forward before runningthe ball.The home side could have run away with
the result were it not for several handlingerrors and poor decisions in opposition ter-ritory.Jappie says there are both negatives and
positives to his side’s performance andthere has been an improvement since thestart of the season.“What needs to improve is our set-pieces
– the line-outs and scrums. We also need toimprove our attacking during broken play,because we didn’t finish,” says Jappie.“Going forward what we need to take
from this game is the camaraderie and howwe came together as one. I am happy withthe performance because Callies thoughttheywere going to run awaywith the game.I am happy with my team, but the chancesthat we created we didn’t take.”Both Stars and Callies will have a bye
nextweekend, before returning to actiononSaturday 1 June. Stars will hope to resur-rect their campaign for promotion whenthey host All Saints, while Callies await thevisit of Kylemore RFC.

Santos seal PSLplay-off spotLIAM MOSES
SANTOS have qualified for the PremierSoccerLeague (PSL) promotion/relega-tion playoffs after a 2-1 victory over Jo-
mo Cosmos at Athlone Stadium on Sunday.The People’s Team finished second on the
National First Division (NFD) log and willnow face-off against third-placed Mpuma-langa Black Aces and fellow Cape side Chip-pa United – who finished 15th in the PSL –for a spot in the top tier of SA football.
Santos were fourth on the table going intothe game, with Polokwane City in third,Thanda Royal Zulu second and Aces in firstplace.
The Lansdowne side’s victory over Cos-mos, and other results from the last day offixtures, saw them finish second on the ta-ble, with Polokwane crowned championsand Aces in third.
However, Santos could have won theleague and secured promotion if they hadadded three goals to their margin of victory.
The game’s scoreline slightly flatteredSantos as Cosmos dominated large portionsof the game, while the home side’s attackstruggled to get out of first gear.
Cosmos were the first to threaten and hadthe first shot on target in the fifth minutewhen Bongane Mgwevu forced Pa DemboTouray into action with a shot curled to-wards the far post.
Santos grew in prominence as the game
progressed and had a near-miss, when veter-anNasiefMorris rose highest at a corner butsent his header over the bar.
The home team struggled to break downthe stubborn Cosmos defence, but the dead-lock was eventually broken in the 56thminute, when they received a helping handfrom the opposition via two penalties in asmany minutes.
After Cosmos goalkeeper Tsatsi Thelet-sane was red carded for his role in the firstpenalty, Santos skipper Nasief Morrisstepped to slot both penalties passed substi-tute keeper Avril Phali.
At two goals up and with an extra man,Santos looked perfectly placed to push onand cut down the goal difference deficit be-tween themselves and Polokwane.
However, the hosts never managed to findany attacking cohesion and instead conced-ed a goal late in the encounter when Siya-bongaNhlapo curled a shot beyondTouray’sreach.
The NFD trophy was not handed over toPolokwane City on Sunday, as the PSL disci-plinary committee is yet to pass a verdict oncases relating to the boycott by NFD teamsat the start of the season. The verdicts inthese cases could affect the current stand-ings in the league. Meanwhile, Santos’ localrivals Milano United were thumped 4-0 intheir final game of the season away to Afri-can Wanderers. The loss sees Milano finishseventh on the table.
