CONSTRUCTION plans on the MyCiTisystem is set to be unrolled in three sepa-rate communities, bringing “reliable andeffective” public transport to all parts ofCape Town.
The next phase of the system’s develop-ment involves the smaller nine-metre buses,operating in and around residential areas.
Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater, Brett Herron,confirms that construction plans have beenearmarked for Vredehoek, the Central Busi-ness District and the Atlantic Seaboard.
Herron explains: “Bus stops are plannedthat will allow level boarding into thesesmaller vehicles, on routes that will travelthrough residential areas.”
The City will host a number of public infor-
mation sessions, where engineers are topresent the precise nature of the plans for thespecific neighbourhood.
Proposals in the Sea Point area includesQueens Road between Victoria and KloofRoads becoming a one-way street towards themountain.
It also proposes that Solomon Road ischanged to a one-way road towards the seafrom Regent Road to the Piazza da Luz shop-ping centre’s parking entrance.
“This is to accommodate MyCiTi busestravelling along the road and to avoid conges-tion, but a section of Queens Road betweenVictoria and Beach Roads will remain openfor traffic in both directions,” Herron adds.
In the CBD, the introduction of the servicein the Gardens area, specifically along KloofStreet, provides the opportunity to creategeneral traffic improvements in the area,while facilitating bus flow and “creating a
better, safer streetscape for people and vehi-cle alike”.
In order to achieve this goal, the City is pro-posing to ban the right turn movement fromKloof Street ontoOrangeStreet andremovingthe on-street parking on Kloof Street betweenOrange and Wilkinson Streets, and alongRheede Street.
In Vredehoek, the City proposes to createone-way streets in Davenport Road, betweenExner Avenue and St James Street, and StJames Street between Davenport Road andDerry Street.
Herron says: “The roads in question arevery narrow and it is very difficult for twocars to pass each other, particularly due tothe parked cars in this narrow road.”
“The City’s alternative solution would beto ban all parking on these roads, but giventhe nature of the area – being high car owner-ship, high density residential blocks with lit-
tle off-street parking provision – this will beundesirable to residents,” he adds.
Vredehoek resident, Esme Daniels, is excit-ed at the prospect of having the MyCiTi busesoperating within the area, but raises her eye-brows around the construction phase.
Daniels says: “This all sounds very nice,but one can only find out how the construc-tion will inconvenience the residents.”
A CBD resident, Farouk Hanslo, explainsthat the implementation of the service withinresidential areas is “much needed”.
He was aware that construction could be aninconvenience, but the aftermath of the workdone would be “encouraging”.
Hanslo says with a laugh: “As they say,Rome was not built in a day. The same canbe said about this expansion, so we will gothrough some difficulty but in the end, the re-sult of the work will make life so much easierwithin the CBD.”
MyCiTi system expands
Homeless people havebeen evicted from theirshacks in the city centreby the City of Cape Town.However, there are still afew wandering thestreets and trying to return to their homes. ForJames Mkhanya, Emmanual Nguwe and RaymondAustin Mzele, every dayis a struggle. Read thefull story on Page 7.

Devils unleashedDear reader,
We are well into the first week of Ramadan,a holy month during which Muslims through-out theworld gowithout food, drinkandphys-ical intimacies from sunrise to sunset.
The month is spent performing extraprayers (Taraweeh), remaining spirituallycontemplative and repentant, and showingempathy and charity towards those less privi-leged.
Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam andis known for its spiritual and health benefits.
Those who have fasted for many years willknow how testing a journey it can be. Forego-ing food and drink is the easier part.
Remaining steadfast in yourspiritual resolve and resistingprovocation is the hard part.
It is especially trying when, inaddition to the usual demands ofyour professional and personallife, you are faced with extrachallenges.
The beauty of being in a stateof fasting though is that yourbody and mind automaticallytranscends base urges and, evenif you wanted to lash out in an-ger at someonewhohasannoyedyou, you invariably find your-self unable to.
Usually by the end of Ramadan, Muslimsfeel sad for a host of reasons.
Some regret not optimising the spiritualgrowth opportunity, others feel a sense of lossof the unity experienced, and many under-take to uphold the practices of kindness andsharing.
My challenge as I progress through thismonth,will be to act selflessly and contain myemotions as I brace myself for one of thetoughest challenges of my life; that of lettingthe little boywhohasknownmeashismotherfor five of his six years learn that he has an-other mother.
Two weeks ago, my foster son’s life wasturned upside down when he met his birthmother, whom he hadn’t seen in four years.
She took him one side and quietly told himthat she was his real mother and wanted totake him home with her.
He protested by drawing a picture of me,complete with long hair – as opposed to hershort hair – and then showing her who hismother is.
To her telling him that the name he isknown by was not his name, he promptlywrote down the five letters of his name. Al-though I was angry at the bad timing, I wasvery proud of my son for standing his groundand asserting his identity.
I was also proud of his confidence; and abili-ty to spell and draw.
Sadly, he was traumatised after this meet-ing, constantly expressing his fear at beingtaken away from his home and parents.
Through mutual agreement, a series of reg-ular visits aimed at reunitingmy son with his biological fam-ily has been scheduled, withthe first one meant to have tak-en place today.
I was relieved when the so-cial worker informed me yes-terday that the visit had beencancelled.
But I know that future inter-actions are inevitable and thatI cannot control the processesthat may stem from them.
What I can do is protect myson from hurt, remind all par-ties concerned that decisions
should be made in his, not the adults’ best in-terests and continue to provide a safe, lovinghome for him.
In a perfect world, I would have protectedmy son from some of his life truths, but as theolder and responsible one, I know that life sel-dom goes according to plan.
As I look forward to Ramadan and thepeace and strength it will bring me, I am alsoaware that it will be a crucial time for me tochoose the correct responses to influence apositive outcome for the child entrusted tome.

ILLEGAL car guards operating in theCentral Business District are continuingto frustrate motorists.
Visitors and residents claim that these carguards are linked to many of the theft out ofmotor vehicle cases being reported.
Last week, Angie Dreyers visited LongStreet and was directed into a parking spotby a man wearing a “rusty old” yellow bib.
Dreyers returned to her vehicle, only tofind her window smashed and radio stolen.
“When parking my car, this man was veryinterested in what was inside of it and as-sured me that he will look very nicely aftermycar.Butwhen I returned, hewasnowhereto be found,” says Dreyers.
Another Long Street visitor, David Mat-thews, was informed by a witness that a carguard was linked to an incident where hiscar was broken into.
Like Dreyers, Matthews was also directedinto a spot and later found his car broken in-to.
He says: “When you return to your car,they usually rush over to collect money, butthis guy was not around and I even went tolook for him, but was unsuccessful.”
During his mission to find the car guard,he was informed by witnesses that a manwearing an old yellow bib was seen aroundthe car.
Matthews says: “It’s ridiculous and al-though I have no concrete evidence that thiscar guard was involved, my gut instinct tellsme it was him, because he scouted the insideof my car when telling me he would look af-ter it.”
Tasso Evangelinos, Chief Operations Of-ficer for the City Central Improvement Dis-trict (CCID), explains that the CCID is not incontrol over the car guards operating withinthe city centre.
“The City has assigned companies to man-age the curb-side parking within the Central
Business District,” says Evangelinos.However, he confirms that if incidents are
reported and needs attention by CCID, offic-ers are “quick to respond, within seconds”.
“Theft out of motor vehicle has not beena major concern within the CBD, but doeshappen,” Evangelinos adds.
Warrant Officer Khunjulwa Sam, spokes-person for the Cape Town Central Police Sta-tion, says that the station is fully aware ofillegal car guards operating within the CBD.
Police have introduced measures such asthe morpho touch system, where police takefinger prints in an attempt to link these carguards to previous cases.
Sam says: “Theft out of motor vehicle re-mains a concern for police, but we are ad-dressing the matter and have identified a fewhot spot areas within the CBD.”
Long Street, Bo-Kaap, Green Point, Gar-dens, Primrose, Grand Parade and CliffStreet have all been identified by police ashot spots.
“Community members are still leavingtheir valuable items unattended or puttingtheir valuables at the back of the vehicle inplain sight,” says Sam.
People’s Post forwarded a detailed query tothe City of Cape Town for comment, but theywere unable to respond at the time of goingto print.

COMMUNITIES’ futures can look brighterwith the formation of a group aiming to cre-ate positive change.
The Building Survivors Groups’ vision isto create better communities through educa-tion and skills training.
Group coordinator Gael Brittle says: “Wehope to educate and inform the communityabout social issues, job skills training and as-sist in the trainingandcreationof small busi-nesses.”
The organisation seeks to encourage par-ticipants in their programmes to change atti-tudes and “make positive life choices to be-come successful”, which would contribute tobuilding a “violent-free society”, through thearts, literacy, sport and culture.
Brittle says: “Our objective is educatingand empowering people to make positivechanges in their lives.”
Now the newly-established group plans togo nationwide and are currently operatingfrom the Good Hope Castle.
They plan to relocate and are hoping to re-model the derelict buildings beneath NelsonMandela Boulevard and make it their head-
quarters.The abandoned properties (“Vacant hous-
es now drug dens”, People’s Post, 22 May) areon Pontac and Nelson Streets.
The group has yet to engage in talks withthe owners of the houses.
“These buildings will be part of the broad-er picture to help people get back on theirfeet, by training people to open their ownsmall businesses,” she says.
Residents have welcomed plans to remodelthe buildings and the organisation movingin.
Joshua Abrahams, a resident, has had hisfair share of run-ins with criminals and drugusers outside the buildings.
“It’s by time something happens at thesehouses, because it’s not right that the ownersjust left it to rot away,” he says.
Another resident, Farieda Toeffy, has giv-en Building Survivors Group her stamp ofapproval.
“Right now, all these houses are doing isattracting gangsters and criminals to the ar-ea.
“On top of that, people fear walkingthrough this road. So get rid of it and fin-ished,” she says.
Agents of change take chargeMARINE FUNDI: For the second year running Khonzani Lembeni, a teacher at theTwo Oceans Aquarium EnvironmentalEducation Centre, has won the BestPresentation Award at the Marine andCoastal Educators’ Network annual conference. The winning presentation iscalled Fish Mathematics and deals withdwindling fish stocks and the legislationthat applies to the harvesting of fish.The lesson also incorporates numeracyand literacy skills. “At first I was nervouswhen my boss selected me from theaquarium’s education team to present atthe national conference.

Cops on civvy duty – a joke or not?Cops on civvy duty – a joke or not?A DECISION by the national police au-thorities to cancel private contracts –including guards at gates and cleaningservices – has been met with ridicule.
The official opposition, the DA, has re-portedly said nobody will take seriously apolice officer with a “mop in hand”.
DA spokesperson Dianne Kohler Bar-nard said: “Thismeanswehave fewer copson the streets and more in police officestaking responsibility for non-core duties.”
People’s Post reporters Teresa Fischer,Laila Majiet and Summer Jacobs polledreaders for their views.
SCEPTICAL: Peter Samuel, aformer firefighter, says back inthe day theyused to have toclean their ownfire engines;now they havecleaners do it.He says the police should lookafter themselves, but hedoesn’t think itwill happen. “If itdoes, what willthey do with themoney theysave?”
AGAINST: Veronique Lemeneysays: “I didn’teven know theyhad securityguards at policestations. By having security theyare creating jobsfor people andthere will bemore police outin the field. Whatwill happen nowif one phonesthem and theycan’t come outbecause they arebusy guardingthe station?”
BE RESOURCEFUL: MyrtleChristian sayspolice stationsshould use theservices athand. “I knowsome policestations withholding cellsuse the peoplein the holdingcells to helpclean aroundthe station.This way theycan do something constructive instead ofdoing nothingall day.”
SAFETYFIRST: RitaSheldon believes protecting people is the firstand foremostduty of the police. “Theyshould not beasked to domenialtasks. Theyhave beentrained andare paid toprovide theservice of protection, notto keepthings tidy.”
GOODIDEA: CliveBooysen(49) says itmay be agood ideato get police to do civilian work.However,he says: “Itshouldn’tinterferewith theirpolicingwork. Police officersalreadyhave a loton theirplate.”
UNFAIR: AshrafKhan (32)thinks policehave a bigenough tasksweeping thestreets of crime.“We cannot becalling on policeand be toldthey’re too busyguarding policestations or mopping to attend toour crime concerns. Childrenare not going towant to becomepolice officersanymore”.
DOUBTFUL:Deliwe Shaba(30) says it isa bad idea.“Police haveenough work.As it stands,there is justabout enoughpolice officers to fightcrime. Thesepolice officers cannot beexpected toclean andguard policestationswhen theyshould be protecting us.”

Public to participatein closure processLAILA MAJIET
THE PUBLIC will be givena voice in the closure ofZonnebloem Nest SeniorSecondary School.
The school faces closuredue to the dwindlingnumber of pupils when com-pared to initial enrolment,as well as underperform-ance.
In previous reports, theschool’s principal JontyDamsell said he does notagree with the reasons citedby the provincial educationdepartment.
He said that provincialeducation minister DonaldGrant asking for public rep-resentations on the closurewhen his final decision had been taken long ago, is con-tradictory.
On the heels of the imminent closure of 27 schools inthe province, the public is called on to participate in theclosure process.
Damsell says the school caters mainly for Xhosa-speaking pupils, therefore when the education depart-ment changed the pass requirements for English, manyof the matriculants failed and the school had to adapt.
He says: “This year the school received R12 000 fromthe education department for improvement in mathe-matics in Grade 12. Again we are unsure of how we canbe classified as underperforming when we received thislarge sum of money for improvement.”
But Grant hits back: “After considering all representa-tions received from the governing bodies concerned, Ihave decided to proceed with the public hearings in re-
the contents of the letter. ”The provincial education department say they are at
this stage unable to comment on improvement in aca-demic results made by any of the 27 schools facing clo-sure.
Casey explains the aim of the proposed school closure“is to improve opportunities for the children concerned.
“The department would like to place them at schoolsbetter equipped to provide quality education.”
A final decision on the school closures is expected tobe made in September or October after Grant “has re-viewed all the representations and submissions by theschool governing bodies, department and the publicthrough the public participation process”.
At the time of going to print, People’s Post had triedrepeatedly to gain further comment from the school butwas unsuccessful.
NEXT STEP: Zonnebloem Nest will be part of a public participation process to makea further representation to the provincial education department in a bid to keep theschool open.

The Pet Registration processis in line with the City of CapeTown’s Animal Bylaw of 2010where, insteadof buyinganan-nual dog licence, pet ownersare simply required to registerall cats and dogs kept on theirproperty.
Pet owners applying time-ously for more animals thanthey are permitted for their propertieswill qualify for automatic sanction/per-mission.
Hereafter, they may be fined for theirexcess animals and for pets without achip, name tag or tattoo to identify them.
Pet owners applying after this deadlinecan be assured that their applications formore animals than permitted per proper-ty will never be unreasonably denied.
The application process commenced on1 March.
The deadline for the City’s pet registra-tion programme, which is designed to de-velop a database of all domestic animalsin Cape Town, has been set as 31 August.
The pet registration process is also inline with the City’s Animal Bylaw of 2010,which prescribes registration of all dogs

A COMMUNITY organisation wants to re-claim the natural beauty of city areas –and reclaim the dignity of people livingon the streets.
The non-profit organisation, Straat-werk, wants to turn areas, including Up-per Strand Street and the slopes of SignalHill, into a green belt.
Called Project Reclaim, Straatwerkcommunications officer Denidia Kil-bourn says: “The project also encompass-es the reclaiming of the human dignity ofthe desperate and vagrant persons in thearea.”
Through the project, organisations as-sisting along with Law Enforcement willtackle vagrancy in these areas.
The outcome of the project is to trans-form entire areas into a beautiful gardenfrequented by the community, which ismaintained, cleaned and free of crime.
“The vision is that this single projectwill become a model for duplication inother areas,” says Kilbourn.
Straatwerk launched the communityinvolvement recently, at which the com-munity could offer suggestions, volunteeror join a particular action plan commit-tee.
Project Reclaim’s main actions arecleaning up, landscaping, social develop-ment, law enforcement, community in-volvement and maintenance.
The cleaning-up comprises clearing
away litter andpollution, alienvegetationand relocating vagrants.
Landscaping will look at the naturalvegetation for Signal Hill slopes, plantingof trees, shrubs and flowers for roadsideparks and the redevelopment of the rain-water channels.
The social development action will seevarious development interactions withvagrants and job seekers, including ac-commodation and alternatives to beggingand crime. Special structures will be putinto place to involve individuals from alllevels of the community.
Kilbourn says: “Our beautiful naturalenvironment is being destroyed by thepollution caused by desperate and irre-sponsible people sleeping rough in openspaces.”
However, the project still requires thenecessary engagement from other role-players in the community, includingproperty owners, investors, communitypolicing forums, street people’s forumsand the City’s Parks and Forests and So-cial Development departments to becomeactive partners in an attempt to reach a“sustainable level of efficiency in ProjectReclaim”.
Kilbourn says meetings will be set upto get these roleplayers on board.
She adds pilot projects will be initiatedas part of their strategy.

WISHING ALL OUR MUSLIM CLIENTS WELL OVER THE MONTH OF RAMADAAN
TAURIQ HASSEN
DURING winter, ducking, diving and try-ing to dodge every raindrop in the citycentre is something the homeless do dai-ly.
For three homeless men – James Mkhan-ya, Emmanual Nguwe and Raymond AustinMzele – this has been their life for the past17 years.
MkhanyeandNguwe first arrived inSouthAfrica from Tanzania with family, but werelater separated at the age of seven, forcingthem to fend for themselves.
Mzele ran away from his Khayelitshahome when he was six years old after beingabused by his parents and has experiencedthe dark underworld of the drug trade froma young age.
Speaking to People’s Post from their “tem-porary home” under the Nelson MandelaBoulevard, the three men quickly scrambledout of their blue bag huts to illustrate whatwinter is like living on the streets.
With a shivering bottom lip, Mkhanyesays: “We have become used to this life andwe don’t really have a choice but to fight justto survive on the streets.”
Mzele, who collects boxes to make somemoney, says: “For the last 17 years, we allhad to work together to survive and welooked after each other; that is why we arestill here.”
Nguwe explains: “Life on the streets canbe tough, especially when we have to findshelter and food.”
All three have had their fair share of run-ins with near-death experiences in the past– something Mkhanye is still recoveringfrom. Last year, he was knocked down by acar in the city centre while begging for mon-ey and the motorist drove away leaving himto die.
The other two were involved in brutalfights, resulting in each one being stabbed
and landing in hospital.“We don’ t have anything. We cannot even
afford a half a loaf of bread, not even a dryshirt to wear and there are many nights wehave to hold each other just to keep warm,”says Mzele. Over the years, the men werechased from pillar to post, establishing them-selves as experts in relocating their campswhen times get rough.
Richard Bosman, the City’s director forSafety and Security, confirms that during op-erations conducted in the CBD, Camps Bay,Sea Point and Hout Bay, Law Enforcementconducted a “zero tolerance” approach to-wards vagrancy.
According to Bosman, 36 vagrants were re-moved from seven shacks in various loca-tions including the Good Hope Centre, underthe bridge, Hope Street, the Station Deck, Ta-ble Bay Boulevard and Heleger Street.
A retired fieldworker formerly employedwithin the CBD, Noel Jacobs, confirms howtough life is on the streets, especially whenvagrants are chased around.
“They will sleep anywhere just to havesome shelter. It would be in places wheretheyhaveeasyaccess to areaswhere theyareable to beg for food or money,” he says.
Jacobs explains that many of the homelesspeople living on the streets “prefer the life-style” and do not wish to live in hostels orshelters. “At these sorts of places, there arerules and regulations you are required toabide by and you will find that on the streets,they can do as they please.”
Haven Night Shelter CEO, Hassan Khan,is aware of the reasons behind homeless peo-ple not wanting to live in hostels or shelters,but says: “There is a whole host of reasonswhy these people do not choose to live at theshelters.” He encourages the public to re-frain from giving homeless people food ormoney, as this retards the process of gettingthem off the street. “Our vision if for nobodyto live on the streets and our mission is toget people off the streets,” he says.

THE animals were the beneficiaries ofmuch love when more than 50 peopleconverged on the Cape of Good HopeSPCA.
The two-legged friends spent MandelaDay volunteering at the SPCA in celebra-tion of former president Nelson Mandela’s94th birthday.
Officers of the SA Navy and Metro Policegot their hands dirty cleaning stables andkennels, grooming horses, gardening andwalking dogs.
“It was fulfilling to serve the animals –instead of people – for a change,” says SANavy Commander Harry Gwala.
“When our crew discussed what theywanted to do for Mandela Day, we decidedthis year the animals needed our attention,too.
“And we are very happy to have spent the
day at the SPCA.”Others helped too.Pupils of Fairview Primary in Grassy
Park collected R1 683, which was donatedto the organisation.
And Shireen Salie donated her winningsof a competition she entered at Blue RouteMall Woolworths, where she works.
Salie says: “I’m a 200% animal lover andI’m in awe of the good work carried out bythe SPCA. The chance to help out in someway is an absolute honour.”
Staff of Milpark Business School inClaremont, also donated bags of pet food,toys, treats and blankets.
“We are absolutely thrilled at the amountof support we’ve received today,” says vol-unteer manager Juan August.
“And we hope that many of the individu-als who spent their time helping our causewill be back again in future.” BEYOND CALL OF DUTY: Members of the Metro Police spent 67 minutes at the SPCA.
INQUISITIVE: Jacki, a dog rescued and cared for by the SPCA, takes a sniff of the donatedgoods from Millpark Business School in Claremont.
HELLO, PEOPLE: Milpark Business School’s Jenna Sleep, Dion Brand and Amy Aebischer (obscured) get to know some of the animals.

New Honda CRV headed for SANew Honda CRV headed for SASINCE its launch in 1995, more than five-million Honda CR-V units have been soldglobally and the forthcoming generationsports a new design as it hopes to build onits predecessors’ success.
South African fans of the Japanese SUVwill have to wait until October or Novemberto get behind the wheel.
The initial range gives a choice betweentwo-litre and 2.2 diesel engines. Power re-mains the same for the i-DTEC diesel engine,at 110kW/350Nm though CO2 emissions forthe manual version have been reduced from171g/km to 153g/km.
The i-VTEC petrol sees marginal powerand torque increases to deliver 115kW and192Nm, while emissions have fallen from192g/km to 174g/km.
In front-wheel guise, the 2.0 petrol has aCO2 rating of 170g/km. The rest of rangesports all-wheel drive with hill assist and de-scent control.
Compared to the previous generationCR-V, the new model takes on a more asser-tive stance with a bold front design. Thebumper is joined by a horizontal grille anddeep-set headlights. The model’s signaturevertical tail-lights, now with LEDs, remainbut feature a three-dimensional style.
The headlights feature LED daytime run-
ning lights.Exterior designer Manabu Konaka says:
“The CR-V has always been a car for everyoccasion. It can be both casual and formal,but theappearancemust always convey solid-ity and reliability.”
The length and height of the SUV has been
reduced by 5mm and 30mm respectively com-pared with the current model, without reduc-ing interior space.
With the rear seats folded flat, the boot ca-pacity of the CR-V has grown by 148 litres to1648 litres and with the seats folded up, bootcapacity is rated at 589 litres.
The load length has been increased by140mm to 1570mm, while the height of theload lip has been reduced by 25mm makingit easier to load heavy or awkward items.
Keyless entry and a power tailgate havebeen added to enhance its practicality.
The centre console sports a five-inch dis-play which controls audio, telephone andnavigation systems (where fitted).
More space has been created between theseats for two cup holders, a storage compart-ment, armrest and airvents for the rear seats.
Honda has added a host of technology asstandard for the new CR-V such as its ECONmode and Eco-assist systems. When theECON button is selected the throttle responseand air-conditioning are automatically ad-justed to minimise fuel consumption.
The Eco-assist system uses the vehicle’sdashboard display to advise drivers on howtheir driving style is affecting fuel economy,by changing the colour of the dial edges fromwhite to greenwhendrivingmore efficiently.
The new CR-V is the latest vehicle to em-ploy theautomaker’sAdvancedDriverAssistSystem (ADAS). ADAS incorporates Honda’sLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adap-tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Miti-gation Braking System (CMBS), which warnsof an impending collision and applies thebrakes. – Wheels24

THE SAWomEng gala dinner was recentlyheld at the President Protea Hotel in CapeTown.
A shortage of skills in the engineeringprofession in South Africa, especiallyamong women, led to Unilever SA and SA-WomEng unveiling an initiative aimed atchanging the way women look at their ca-reer choices. Women engineering students
from various tertiary institutions acrossthe country participated in a technicalproject designed to incubate their engi-neering minds and challenge their way ofthinking when tackling problems.
The University of Stellenbosch’s LaurenStewart was awarded the first prize, whileRoxanne Mans, from the University ofKwaZulu-Natal, came in second.

Woman in a millionTHE WINNER of the Sho-prite Checkers Women ofthe Year Good NeighboursAgainst Crime Awardlives just around the cor-ner.
Green Point resident Mar-gi Biggs is the foundingchairperson of StreetSmartSA, a group that hasachieved remarkable suc-cess in helping the homelesschildren of Cape Town bynot only aiding beneficiariesthat work with them but alsoby educating the communitynot to give money to beggingchildren. Doing so keepsthem on the streets.
Biggs received R30 000 inindividual prize moneywhile the Shoprite Group ofCompanies will also giveR100 000 towards her work toimpact positively on the fu-ture of the country.
Receiving the Good Neigh-bours Against Crime AwardBiggs says: “I am most grate-ful for this recognition of thework we do at StreetSmart.This allows a platform fromwhich I can explain to thepublic, that by giving chil-dren money when they arebegging on the street, theyare keeping these vulnera-ble children on the streets.”
StreetSmart SA raisesmoney via participating res-taurants in Cape Town,Franschhoek, Stellenbosch
and Helderberg asking din-ers if a voluntary R5 dona-tion could be added to theirbill.
All the funds raised in thisway then go to StreetSmartSA’s beneficiaries for socialre-integration projects. Todate over R5 million hasbeen raised.
“While children are livingon the street they are suscep-tible to drifting into a life ofcrime, of being abused and alife of suffering,” she says.
“There are many organi-sations in most towns, fromGraaff-Reinet to Bloemfon-tein and Somerset West, and
many others, which exist es-pecially to assist these chil-dren.”
The chairperson of thepanel of judges in this cate-gory, Professor Elrena vander Spuy – who is a memberof the Centre of Criminologyand Associate-Professor atthe Department of PublicLaw at UCT – says of Biggs:“She has been the drivingforce behind an initiative(modelled on a UK-basedidea) which involves raisingfunds which go towards thewelfare of street children.
“Street children are agrowing problem in develop-ing cities all over the world.Street kids often become tar-geted in city clean-ups,which involve repressivelaw and order strategies.
Through StreetSmart,Biggs and others have beeninvolved in public educationand in channelling funds tovarious institutions, whichare involved in providingservices to street children.
“Ms Biggs is a deservingwinner - she personifies thequalities associated with ac-tive citizen involvement, so-cial networking and strate-gic visioning,” Van der Spuysays.
“Her engagement with amarginalised constituencysuch as South Africa’s streetchildren deserves public rec-ognition.”

Safety wrapTHE Summer Olympics kick off in London onFriday.
One of the major concerns levelled at theSA 2010 World Cup Soccer – crime – is comingback to haunt London.
Among the most barbed voices in the worldmedia, the Brits simply could not reign intheir negativity around a safe world event inthis former colony.
History has proven their fears unfounded.Now the same questions are being asked of
the London Olympics. How safe will visitorsand athletes be? In particular, Israeli athleteswho mark the 40th anniversary of the Gamesin Munich, Germany, when terrorists killed11 Israeli athletes and coaches.
Chairman of the London 2012 Olympics, Se-bastian Coe, has promised a “safe and secure”event.
Coe fielded media enquiries after the fail-ure of private security company G4S to pro-vide adequate security staff. This has led to3 500 more British troops being called in,making it about 17 000 troops on duty to keepCoe true to his word.
Safety of another matter has also been anissue. Sex workers in Newham, the east Lon-don area which houses the stadium, havebeen bearing the brunt of a police blitz.
The expected influx of two million visitorsfor the Olympics will, it is reportedly predict-ed, inject £13bn into the UK economy overthe next four years. Perhaps safe sex is theone aspect of personal safety visitors to Lon-don may not have to worry about.
A crime associated directly with the SASoccer World Cup – the armed robbery ofthree foreign reporters covering the Portu-guese soccer team at a four-star high-securitylodge near Johannesburg – has at the timebeen solved promptly.
Two Zimbabweans and a Nigerian were ar-rested, charged, tried, convicted and sen-tenced in one of 54 special courts set up.
The world waits to see if the same efficiencycan be expected of London.
THE ugly face of the death penaltyshocked many of us when a young womanwas publicly executed in Afghanistan. Itnever has a pretty face and can never be“humane”.
I was a young boy of 12 when I first en-countered the death penalty.
A young man killed his lover and hermother in Cradock, my birthplace. He at-tempted suicide, but was later executed.That day I decided to devote my life to thefight against this vile form of punish-ment.
Through the years I’ve written numer-ous letters to newspapers nationally tomake people think how despicably it isused in different countries. More thanhalf the countries of the world have al-ready abolished it. Not one desires to re-introduce this Trojan horse.
The bullying tactics of the super powersto continue using it for their own dubiousends is a big stumbling block. China atone stage had 67 capital offences, nowa-days about 56. In the USA and several oth-ers, like Saudi Arabia, even youngsters
and the mentally challenged can be exe-cuted.
The death penalty is very emotionaland sensitive and causes untold anxietyto both parties, the victim, the perpetra-tor and their families.
No scientific or empirical evidence thatthe death penalty has deterrent value hasemerged and never will. Politiciansshould introduce a law making this claima criminal offence.
Many countries have come to SA seek-ing to learn how it was ever possible toextricate ourselves from our disastrouspast.
Others will unfortunately never be suc-cessful in unshackling themselves fromtheirs without paying a monstrous pricein the loss of human life, relationshipsand infrastructure.
The death penalty is a violent act andwill always lead to more violence. Thereis nothing good about it.
Anyone who supports the death penaltyis himself a potential murderer.KOERT U MEYER
Death penalty is no solution
I WANT to ask if anybody in our community canhelp me with some building materials, house-hold furniture, clothing or some groceries.
It is for a mother who lost her house and justwants to settle down again.
If anyone can help or assist her it will begreatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.THERESA JONES

The competition saw 32 girls and boys un-der-18 club and school hockey teams from
across theworld compete for thewinner’s tro-phy. Wynberg Boy’s High’s under-18A sideovercame a challenge by last year’s winners,New South Wales Bushrangers, with a hard-fought 2-0 victory after a goalless first half.
Wynberg’s goals were scored by DylanGrobler and boys’ Player of the Tournament,
Jason Smith. It was a grudge match in moreways than one, as the 2011 boys’ final had seenthe Bushrangers shade Wynberg 2-1.
The leading goal scorer in the boys’ tourna-ment was Elmarco Stoman of Paarl Gim, withseven successful strikes.
In the girls’ final Somerset, well led by

THE long-awaited battle between AjaxCape Town and Manchester United endedin a 1-1 draw at Cape Town Stadium.
The match, which had been eagerly antici-pated by both teams fans since its announce-ment, was played in wet and rainy condi-tions. This, however, did not stop fans fromdonning their team’s colours to the match towatch the somewhat disappointing match.
Ajax drew first blood when substitute, Al-cardoVanGraan, chipped ina cross, catchingManchester United’s solid defence off-guard.
The 19 time English league championswaited until the 93rd minute of stoppage timeto spoil the Urban Warrior’s party, when an-other substitute, Bebe, skilfully slotted in theball into the back of the net from close range.
Ajax proved their worth against a Man-chester United team missing big names suchas Wayne Rooney, Nani and Nemanja Vidic.
Khama Billiat was one of the stand out per-formers for Ajax, giving United’s young leftback, Tyler Blackett, a tough day at the office.
The Zimbabwean winger, who wasnamed man of the match, had the CapeTown outfit’s first real chance, striking theball just wide of the right hand post. Min-utes later the winger tore United’s mid-field,which featured experience campaign-ers inMichealCarrickandveteranPaulSc-holes, to shreds before losing his footingand the opportunity was lost.
Chances were few for United, with Javier“Chicharito” Hernandez getting on the endof few chances missed in front of goal.Winger Antonio Valencia was left frustrat-ed, as Ajax stubborn defence stood tall.
A close range header by the Mexicanstriker got the crowd to their feet, but anacrobatic save from Dutch keeper SanderWesterveld, denied the games opener.
In the second half, United came out fir-ing, but still lacked the killer instinct infront of goal.
The closest chance came from the headof new signing, Shinji Kagawa, when a pinpoint accurate cross from Bebe was headedinches wide from the post.
Ajax hitman, Terror Fanteni, stung the
hands of United keeper, Ben Amos, when hiseffort was dug out in the 75th minute.
Ajax coach Maarten Stekelenburg was de-lighted at the performance displayed by the Ur-ban Warriors, saying: “The players were allpumped up for this game and playing in frontof a full stadium motivated our players evenfurther.”
Defensively, Stekelenburg highlighted the ef-forts of Nazeer Allie and the towering figure ofMatthew Booth, acknowledging that the Capeside had conceded too many goals last season.
“It’s still in our pre-season for us that’s whywe made a number of substitutions to ensure
that we keep our players fresh, but we willcontinue to work hard on the training fieldso that at the start of our season, we can con-tinue where we left off,” says the proud Steke-lenburg.
Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex Fer-guson, was impressed with Ajax’s perform-ance when he told MUTV: “They caused usa few problems and we decided to makechanges and bring on the younger players,but it was a very competitive game.”
He was particularly impressed with theperformanceofhis twonewsignings,Kagawaand Nick Powell.
