PINELANDS: CONRADIE CARE CENTRE

Old hospital ‘caving in’TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

SEEMINGLY abandoned. And decaying.The former premises Conradie Care Centre, in

Forest Drive Extension, Pinelands, seems to befalling into unchecked ruin.This is the opinion of a resident who spoke to

People’s Post on the condition of anonymity. Theresident is also a sound engineer who recentlyworked on a film shoot at the hospital.Expressing fears for the well-being of neigh-

bouring residents, he also believes the walls,which he says is made of asbestos, is a health haz-ard.“I had to drop off equipment for a production

companywhowere shooting amovie on the prop-erty. It is really a creepy looking property andeven the film crew didn’t want to stay there untillate,” says the resident.He describes the big property as the perfect

place to shoot a horror movie.“It is big and eerie, with more than 10 different

buildings on the property. You can see some ofthe beds and other things from the old hospitalas the structures are all busy caving in,” he says.The resident emphasises the poor state in

which the buildings are and says the entire prop-erty is falling apart.He says: “The roof and ceilings of the structures

are caving in and some windows and flooringhave been stolen too.”He also points out that invasive alien trees are

all over the property.“You can still see things such as old hospital

beds laying around and there are Port Jacksontrees everywhere. It is really creepy,” says theresident.On inspection of some of the buildings, the resi-

dent says it looks as though the walls are made

of asbestos.“Asbestos is a serious health risk and with our

Cape Town wind, with every wall or ceiling thatcaves in, the asbestos fibres are just being passedthrough the air,” he says.He is especially concerned that the nearby

houses could be directly affected.Ward councillor BrianWatkyns agrees that the

structures should have been demolished.“I have received many complaints over the

years concerning the state of the Conradie Hospi-tal grounds, especially from homeowners next tothe railway line,” says Watkyns.He says he has also received complaints of va-

grants staying on the property.“It is provincial land so council has no jurisdic-

tion and my hands are tied, but I have writtenmany letters asking to resolve the issue,” saysWatkyns.The land is ownedby theprovincial department

of Transport Public Works.People’s Post tried to get hold of department offi-

cials for comment, but they were unable to re-spond at the time of going to print.Estelle Heath, hospital manager of Conradie

Care Centre, says they are still operating, undera new contract with the Department of Healththat falls under the Mitchells Plain/KlipfonteinSubstructure.“We relocated to the Lentegeur Hospital Estate

in Mitchells Plain on Saturday 1 September,” shesays.The hospital previously operated as a rehabili-

tation centre, but now “operates as an Intermedi-ate Care Facility” says Heath.When asked whether she could confirm if the

interior walls at the old location was made of as-bestos, she was unable to comment and said “notas far as I know”.

Price hikehits publicUNHEALTHY habits are going to hit

you hard, as the so-called sin taxes in-crease again.

Beer will costs 7c more for a can, a bottleof wine 15cmore and a 750ml bottle of spiritswill cost R3.60 more from 1 April.Motorists will pay 23c more a litre for pet-

rol.Forgetting your shopping bag at homewill

cost you 6c more for each plastic bag youbuy.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-

gaarn and Luzuko Zini took to the streets tofind out what people had to say.

THERESA TSE: “This is going to upset mostpeople. People in this country love to social­ise and drink. It will affect them because itmeans they will have to pay more to drink.”

PHOTOS: TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN AND LUZUKO ZINI

WARDAH VAN DER SCHYFF: “The sin taxdoes not apply to me because I don’t drink.Increasing the sin tax will hopefully decreasethe number of people who drink. With theprice of plastic bags increasing, more peoplewill be recycling them.”

HERMAN VAN WYK:“With everything in­creasing food prices will go up and the major­ity of people will be affected because theywon’t be able to afford what they need tosurvive.”

SHAMIEL ALBERTYN: Businesses and peopleliving below the breadline will be affectedthe most by these increases. The govern­ment needs to make sure taxpayers’ moneyis used to improve the lives of poor people.”

MARCEL YSLIE: Has mixed feelings about the in­creases in sin taxes and other increases. He sayswhile having the price of plastic bags increasedis a good thing, fuel increase is always a set back.“If plastic bags cost more, less people will buyand that will hopefully reduce litter.”

More lifelines needed to save Rape CrisisRAYMOND WILLEMSE

THERE is some light at the end of the tunnelfor Rape Crisis, the NGO which supportssurvivors of rape.The provincial Department of Social De-

velopment last week gave the NGO R1.3m.Last year, Rape Crisis faced an uncertain

future – and near closure – as a result of afinancial crisis.Rape Crisis director Kathleen Dey ex-

pressed gratitude at the financial injection.“We still have a financial crisis, but we arepositive.”Last year, the NGO could retain only one

of the 13 employees. “Those whom we hadto let go remained as volunteers. This fund-ing will help to employ them on short-termcontracts.”Dey says running costs of more than R7m

a year helps to keep their doors open.“We not only call on the government and

businesses, but also on society to assist us,”

she says.Provincial minister of social develop-

ment, Albert Fritz, says the funds came fromthe 2013-2014 financial budget from otherprogrammes where funds were saved. “Thefunds are being used for organisations indire need,” he saysThe department allocates R800m annually

to at least 1 800 NGOs.Fritz says: “Wewill be taking a closer look

at the value organisations bring to the com-munity.”There is a challenge, he says, to establish

more organisations such as Rape Crisis andothers which assist abused women and chil-dren in rural areas.

Educating ourcommunitiesTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

ABAND of protesters brought traffic onMowbray Main Road to a snail’s pacewhen they highlighted violence

against women and children.Made up of students, lecturers, pupils and

police officers, the group lined the mainroad, holding placards with messages ofsupport for victims of violence.

Motorists hooted in support of the pro-test, which was held on Wednesday.

Dr Ivan November, Assistant Dean of theEducation faculty at Cape Peninsula Uni-versity of Technology (CPUT), says they feltit was important for the students to showsupport as teachers need to have a strongvoice against violence.

He says: “They are the ones who will beteaching the children and, as future teach-ers, these students will be the ones havingto stand in front of the classroom to educatethe children. It is important that they them-selves are educated about abuse before theycan educate others.”

November says they were surprised atthe big turnout on the day, adding: “It justshows how committed people are to makinga difference.”

He says that by conducting these protests,the students have pledged to create aware-ness against the cruelty of abuse and the re-ality of violence in communities.

“The students have decided to take astand against abuse especially focusing onviolence against woman and children. Nowthey have to go back in the community andspread that message of unity against vio-lence,” November says.

Colonel May- Louise Dyers, Mowbray Po-lice Station Commander, says officersshowed their support because they feel it isa community project.

“This is not just one committee or institu-tion that needs to take part. We are also partof the community and we need to protectour community,” says Dyers.

First-year teaching student Chadley Dav-

ids says he came out to take a stand againstcrime because he is fed-up with violence,such as in the case of Anene Booysens. “Itcould have happened to anyone of us,” saysDavids.

Nihaal Arieff, a final-year student, saysteachers need to educate children and makethem aware of what is happening in theircommunities.

“We need to talk about it and let themknow what’s right and wrong. To many chil-dren, being abused and these crimes mightseems normal because of the circumstancesthey are living under, but that is not right,”she says.

Fellow student Abeedah Majiet agreesthat children need to be educated from ayoung age. “You need to bring the messageacross in a way that even small childrenwill understand. The lesson in class shouldnot be (given) on an adult level.”

First-year student Ross Kirby believesthe protest will create awareness. “It showswe, as young people, are not afraid to standup against what is wrong in our modern so-ciety.”

Imre Andras, also a CPUT student, sayshe thinks it is “cool to unite” against a prob-lem.

“I’m impressed with the big supportwe’ve gotten from people. Doing somethingso small (as this protest) can make a big im-pact,” says Andras.

He feels it is important that people be-come aware it is not all men who are theabusers. Only a select few.

“I think woman should be taught somebasic self-defence moves, as there are somemales who are just prone to violence,” headds.

Andras also feels it is unlikely that vio-lence in South African communities willcome to an end soon.

He says: “There is still hope for the drugabusers in this country. People can go to re-hab and work at the problem to make a fullrecovery, over time, but for violence I don’tthink there is a definite solution.”

CLAREMONT: BURGLARS RAMPANT

Residents on alertfor security breachTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

ALL IT would take is a simple bracketscrewed on top of your security gate to pre-vent burglars fromentering and usingyourhome.So says Mike Kabat, chairperson of the

Claremont Community Policing Forum.Claremont residents are noticing electric

gates are being removed from the tracks indriveways, giving burglars free reign intheir crime splurge.Claremont police refute residents’ and

community structures’ claim that this is atrend. This despite police confirming theyhave received complaints of this nature.In one such incident the home of a Clare-

mont resident, who wishes to remain anon-ymous, was targeted on the evening ofMon-day 18 February. She warns residents to re-main vigilant at all times.The resident says the burglar parked his

vehicle in the driveway ashe ransackedherhome.A neighbour told the resident, who was

out at the time, “he took the electric gateoff the rails, parked in the driveway andbroke through the front door”.She was shocked when she realised the

security gate had been removed from itstrack and is concerned the intruder mightreturn.The burglar, believed to be driving a

green Volkswagen Golf, made off with elec-tronics and jewellery.Kabat says this is not a new problem and

has been ongoing for more than 10 years.“There are precautions people can take to

prevent their gates from being taken off therails. All they need to add is a bracket tothe top of gate to prevent it from being lift-

ed,” says Kabat.He further points out he has experienced

that people do not want to believe there iscrime and don’t take enough precautions.Kabat says: “We receive complaints

about this kind of crime on a regular bases,but (intruders) have seen a gap and home-owners need to take precaution.”Damien Mocke, chairperson of the Har-

lyn Neighbourhood Watch, says they havereceived similar complaints from resi-dents.The organisation also informed its mem-

bers to be vigilant. “It is important that res-idents fit their gates with anti-lifting devic-es and be aware of their surroundings at alltimes,” Mocke says.He adds it is very important for residents

to always have emergency numbers onhand to call for help and assistance.But Captain Angie Latchman, spokesper-

son for the Claremont police cluster, saysthe reported incidents does not show acrime trend.“Thus far our analysis of house break-ins

have not indicated any specificmodus oper-andi or syndicatewhich can be held respon-sible for the house break-in (statistics) inthe cluster,” Latchman says.She adds that the cluster has seen a de-

crease in reported house break-in cases inthe past month, saying most cases are com-mitted by “opportunistic perpetrators”.Common items stolen during house

break-ins are iPods, laptops, jewellery,cameras and cash. “Once again we appealto the community to immediately alert thepolice,” Latchman says.V Have you noticed a change in the modus operandiof burglars in the Claremont policing precinct? SMSyour views to 32516.

Crime a snap in RondeboschTHE installation of five new License

Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras inRondebosch has already had a positive

spin-off.A man suspected of breaking into a house

was nabbed, thanks to the cameras.The first success was recorded on Sunday

17Februarywhenaburglarwas arrested fol-lowing a break-in at Keert de Koe Road.Control-room operator Mxolisi Njoli

heard via his handheld radio that the sus-pect had fled in a car and he used the detailsgiven to check the cameras for a matchingvehicle.Njoli spotted it inMilner Road and alerted

the ADT patrol vehicle.The patrol car followed the suspect and

flashed its lights at an oncoming police vehi-cle. The officers apprehended the burglar onthe corner of Sandown and Milner roads.Rondebosch police Sector Commander

Warrant Officer Marcus Roberts says theyfully support initiatives such as the LPRcamera system.“We’ve been working with the Ronde-

bosch Community Improvement District forover 10 years.”Roberts adds: “It is partnerships such as

these – between the police, community safe-ty organisations and private security com-

panies – which keep sector policing going.”The cameras – which were funded by resi-

dents – were positioned on roads with hightraffic flow. These roadswere also identifiedas entry routes commonly used by crimi-nals.The LPR cameras read and record all li-

cense plates.The numbers are scanned through a data-

base of vehicles and if a positive match ismade, an SMS or email alert is sent within10 seconds to the police the private securityfirm.Each point is also fittedwith two overview

cameras which allow additional coverage of

the greater area.“The more cameras, the better the securi-

ty, not only for residents but also for thosepassing through,” says RCID chairpersonBruce Burmeister.“The information collected can also be

used to help the police in their investiga-tions,” he adds.RobDale,ManagingDirector ofADTSecu-

rity in the Western Cape, says the cameraswill be monitored by a control-room opera-tor from the RCID Hub.“When an incident occurs, the operator

will dispatch one of our dedicated armed re-sponse vehicles and the police,” says Dale.

Fleeing burglars write offClaremont man’s carA CLAREMONT resident is fuming afterhis car was written off by fleeing burglars.OnTuesdayat 16:15,AnthonyMclaughlin

was driving in 2nd Avenue towardsLansdowne Road, when he witnessed twomen breaking into a car nearby.“They looked about 19 years old and

broke a window of the car before takingoff,” says Mclaughlin.He sayshewasnearing the top endofHar-

fieldVillage, close to the park,when the twospeeding men bumped into his car.“They wrote off our two-month-old car

and they managed to flee the scene in theirbroken car,” Mclaughlin says.Captain Angie Latchman, spokesperson

for the Claremont Cluster, says the policingprecinct of Claremont has experienced aslight increase in theft of and from motorvehicles.She warns: “A reminder is once again be-

ingmade to the community to bemore vigi-lant in securing your vehicles and pleasenot to leave valuables in the vehicle.”Latchman points out items such as lap-

tops, cameras, bags, cellphones, GPS devic-es and jewellerybeing left in cars is present-ing an opportunity for criminals to eithersteal or break into the car.“The police are making an urgent plea to

the community to be extremely vigilantwhen it comes to general safety,” saysLatchman.Abdul Kerbelker, executive manager of

the Claremont Improvement District Com-pany(CIDC), says although they have notnoticed a spike in these crimes, in the pastmonth, they are aware of incidents.“Although there was a spike not too long

ago, these incidents are still mainly due tonegligence,” says Kerbelker, adding this isdue to people “leaving valuable possessionsin full view”.He feels when people park at a shopping

centre they think it is okay to leave their

valuables such as cellphones and laptopslaying in the car.“We don’t only see negligence at the shop-

ping centres, but frompeople coming to par-ty as well.“Last week I found a black bag with a lap-

top and cellphone in it and the owner didn’teven notice it was gone until I called,” saysKerbelker.He adds people need to take responsibili-

ty for their possessions.“Make sure your valuables are not laying

in the car and that your doors are locked.You don’t need to be an expert to be a thief,”he warns.Mike Kabat, chairperson of the Clare-

mont Community Policing Forum, says thedays of leaving your cellphone on the tableand sleeping with the door open are longgone.“We live in an area which hosts a lot of

sporting events which bring in thousandsof people and cars to the area.“This means there is more opportunity

and things for criminals to steal,” saysKabat.He points out that although statistics

seem to be on par with those of last year,it still remains a concern – even without anoticeable increase.Kabat says: “Police have made break-

throughs, but it is still a big problem.”He urges residents to report such inci-

dents. “It is very important to report inci-dents so the police can know about them.If they aren’t aware of a problem they can’tadd it to their planning,” says Kabat.He adds: “The more information the po-

lice have the better chance they have of ap-prehending the culprits.”Police say residents should be especially

alert at traffic intersections, stop streets,unmanned parking areas, residentialdriveways and the central business districtas these have been identified as hotspots.

EACH age or season has its own characteristics. The1960s, for example, was the era of “make love, not war”.Fast forward to the present and we have the age of tech-nology. We press buttons and life happens.What, then, would future generations make of this era?

Instantpersonal gratificationcouldbe themarkof today’ssociety.People want things now. They want it their way. They

want it to suit themselves. To say this is selfish is tanta-mount to calling the Black Death a minor inconvenience.It wasn’t, and neither is, narcissism.People bent on destruction will often take the path of

least resistance. This is why the vulnerable in society isoften victimised.And those structures, which can least afford it, become

easy pickings for vandals.Schools are broken into. Supplies are stolen and dam-

aged. Classrooms are vandalised in horrible ways.Creches and even places of worship don’t fare any bet-

ter.Not even thedeadare spared to rest inpeace.Cemeter-ies are defiled and become a home for the homeless.Perpetrators would not easily do damage to a police sta-

tion or even a hospital.The sentiment that damaging a school is equal to doing

harm to the community it serves, seems to fall on deafears. For some it is easier to steal and break down thanit is to build and be part of a healthier, wiser and moreeducated future.Yet it is the children from those communities who will

be leftwithout.Do themath.More time cleaning a trashedclassroom means less time teaching and learning. Morebooks stolen means children have to share text books, aswell as study time and homework sessions. More win-dows broken means more exposure to the elements.How to foot the bill of replacing what was broken and

stolen? This is the first thought entering the mind of vic-tims and probably the last of those who do the damage.

There are options to making SA workPEOPLE’S POST’S comment (“Do some-thing”, 10 February) articulated myfeelings exactly.All of us need to take responsibility for

the society we have created.No one is born a rapist or murderer.

Neither is poverty an excuse for creatingthe monsters that we have created. Manyof our finest and most successful citizenshave been raised in poor communities,with little in material comfort, but withloving parents who have been able tofoster ideals of integrity, honesty andconscience – which cost nothing.We also need to stop blaming apartheid.

So where do we start?Find and support organisations such as

The Maternal, which supports pregnantmothers, and the Parent Centre.We need to build up a new generation

of mentality (and) at the same time weneed to focus on those who have alreadybeen damaged by supporting remarkableinstitutions like the Saartjie BaartmanCentre and Rape Crisis. We need toregard ourselves as co-educators of ourchildren and get involved in their schools– even if it means tidying the grounds,fixing and painting the school.Gill Lanham

Oscar: both families are in my prayersAS A fellow model, the passing away of Ree-va Steenkamp has saddened me, but as achild of God the situation has grieved megreatly, causing a burden within my heartfor our country.The condition of our country will not im-

prove until each individual takes responsi-bility for their own stance before God andseeks Him. Man’s problem is not education,environment or poverty, (but) sin!(Some people) self-righteously condemn

and judge Oscar Pistorius with hateful

words and wishes of death and hell. If youhad the love of God in your heart you wouldnot want your worst enemy to go to hell.God alone knows what is in aman’s heart.Every SouthAfrican is called byGod to ex-

amine their own heart. Both families are inmy prayers.Michelle du ToitEmail

The other side of the worker coinI AM sure I am talking to the converted, butletme continuebecause this is just a remind-er that I once did not think much of thesethings.My friend, whoworks as a casual labourer

andhandyman for several clients overmanyyears, earns between R100 to R250 a day.Coming from Khayelitsha, he usually

spends about R30 a day on transport. He isa single father of a teenage son, living in ashack for more than a decade.This wage keeps them alive. They are on

the breadline. So,whenmore than one clienthappened to book him for work on a particu-lar day, he needs to choose one that is mostlikely to pay well or threatens him that hewill not be used if he does not arrive.But when that same client cancels his

work, ashearrives on thedoorstep –becausethe client was too busy or sick, or forgot tobuymaterials – then theworker loses not on-ly a daily wage and the travelling fare, butpotentially his other clients, too.It sets him into a cycle of debt, because he

now has to borrow R100 for a few meals andtransport costs with a high interest rate.If we are to do this to a doctor, hairdresser

or plumber, we are obliged to pay the fee,even though our missing one appointmentcannot possibly starve them. It is a generalculture thatweneed to extend to thosework-ers who need it most.Even after nearly 20 years of democracy,

many white South Africans and foreignerswho live in suburbs do not have an idea ofthe daily struggle people in townships gothrough because they have not made the ef-fort to visit their workers’ home, have a cupof tea or listen to their stories. It’s never toolate!You may think visa-versa, but actually it

is no comparison as many people in town-ships have more opportunities to be in sub-urbs for their work.Yes, there are many workers whose com-

munication skills are poor and work ethicsare slack, but that’s another story.Kyoko Morgon

Animals have aright to be safeTHE article “Turnaround at circus protest”(People’s Post, 26 February) refers.BeautyWithout Cruelty (BWC)was one of

the organisations present at the circus pro-test on Saturday. Amelia Carthy made ob-servations regarding the circus in her per-sonal capacity and neither represents BWCnor is able to speak on our behalf. The issuesat hand are that wild animals – yes, evencaptive-bornwild animals – should not haveto learn tricks to amuse humans. They be-long in the wild or, at least, a sanctuarywhere they can lead safe, close to normallives.There is a plethora of evidence to confirm

that circus animals suffer stress due to longperiods of confinement, a lack of appropri-ate social interaction, they spend monthstravelling with no opportunity to establishan area of their own, there is an inabilityto forage/hunt or carry out anynatural, nor-mal behaviour. A natural environment can-not be reproduced in a circus and the con-stant travelling with the attendant noise,handling by humans and bright lights areall added stressors. The opportunity existsto home local circus animals at SA sanctuar-ies, where they may have a close to normal,safe life, free from exploitation.Bolivia and Peru have banned the inclu-

sion of all animals in the circus due to inher-ent cruelty, and the (Netherlands), Croatia,Austria, Greece, Costa Rica, Israel and Sin-gaporehavebanned the inclusionofwild an-imals for the same reason. In Spain, morethan 60 cities have enacted bans on animalcircuses. Countries considering bans in-clude Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil and theUnited Kingdom.Toni BrockhovenBeautywithout Cruelty was not named in the arti-cle. – Dep. Ed

THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS.

IF YOU COULD SAVE RATEPAYERS MILLIONS,WHYWOULDN’T YOU?REPORT ELECTRICITY THEFT ANONYMOUSLY.SMS32211 (R1/SMS)

OPERATIONKHANYISA.CO.ZA DIAL 228466# (ACTION) FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ELECTRICITYTHEFT.*

10000179SM

Port Elizabeth – Municipalitiesaround the country are beingbrought to their knees by ruthless

syndicates who are responsible for citiesand towns losing millions every month.The theft is relentless. In one of the

more recent examples, the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality said it waslosing 24 mi l l ion each month .eThekwini ratepayers are reported tobe losing R120 million a year.The Cit ies of Cape Town and

Johannesburg lose about R121 million andR663 million respectively. The crime has

also been reported as one of the factors thatbrought uMsunduzi Municipality to itsknees. Many other smaller municipalitiesare likewise being devastated.The crime behind these losses is

electricity theft and happens in variousforms. Syndicates employ individuals whoare desperate for work to sell illegalprepaid electricity vouchers, to connecthouseholds illegally, tamper with theirmeters, or to steal electricity cables.The culprits do all of this at a fee,luring innocent people into crime. Thesesyndicates often pretend to be employees

of Eskom or local government, intimidatingand vict imising ordinary cit izens,preventing them from taking action.Recently a large quantity of electricity

boxes, connectors and a receipt book werefound during the arrest of suspects inPort Elizabeth. The receipt book includedaddresses of buildings in Cape Town,George, Knysna and Port Elizabethwhere electricity boxes were installed.Investigations are ongoing and informationfound in the receipt book could lead tofurther arrests. The perpetrators couldface serious criminal charges.

Local government has joined forces withthe power utility Eskom, the businesssector and the media to stem theflow of losses caused by electricity theft.The South African Local GovernmentAssociation (SALGA) is a core partner ofOperation Khanyisa, a campaign thataims to mobilise all South Africans forlegal, safe and efficient electricity use.SALGA has recently committed to

redoubling its efforts to combat thecrime of electricity theft, which it saysis responsible for municipalities losing upto R3.2 billion each year.

According to SALGA’s ExecutiveDirector for Municipal InfrastructureServices, Mthobeli Kolisa, SALGA needsto coordinate and support municipalities toact and report their action in respect ofelectricity theft, and to review their by-laws to have more stringent penaltiesagainst electricity theft.At the launch of Operation Khanyisa,

Xolile George, CEO of SALGA, describedelectricity theft as “a pandemic coursingthrough our delivery capabilities and fiscalplanning.”“Local government,” he said “plays a

pivotal role in the distribution of electricity,and electricity theft hits at the very heartof the electricity distribution industry inSouth Africa.”“Enough is enough,” George continued.

“We have joined forces with our partners inOperation Khanyisa and will stamp outthis crime.”Together with Crime Line, Operation

Khanyisa provides a platform for SouthAfricans to report electricity theftanonymously, by sending a detailed SMSto 32211 (R1/SMS).For more information on how to report or

how you can join the movement visitoperationkhanyisa.co.za, like facebook.com/Operation.Khanyisa, follow twitter.com/@Op_Khanyisa or e-mail: info@operationkhanyisa.co.za

ADVERTORIAL ADVERTORIALSend a clearmessageto would­becriminalsMY CONDOLENCES to the family andfriends of Reeva Steenkamp and other vic-tims of senseless killings in our country.As much as I respect the independence

of the courts I disagree with the grantingof bail in the case of Oscar Pistorius. Itsends out a wrong message to the peopleof this country.Too many poor people are being sent to

jail to await their trial because of their per-sonal circumstances. Most of these peopleare accused ofway lesser crimes thanmur-der. Our prisons are overcrowded becausethousands of people accused of theft, fraud,house burglaries, traffic violations andfailure to pay child support and cannot af-ford to pay bail or don’t have access tohigh-powered attorneys. I am not suggest-ing these be considered ‘petty crimes’ andtreated lightly, but it could never be con-sidered worse than rape, drug dealing andmurder.The courts could and should have sent

out a very strong message to all ... thatSouthAfrica is nohaven for potentialmur-derers and that the full might of the lawshall be applied, especially in cases of vio-lent crimes and murder.Many criminals in our prisonswho com-

mitted lesser crimes than rape andmurdersimply do not enjoy the same privilege ofbeing granted bail due to their personaland economic circumstances.I call upon ordinary South Africans to

picket outside our courtrooms every timea person accused of rape or murder ap-pears. Show and register your disgust atthe granting of bail in cases of violentcrimes. Show nomercy in cases where oursenior citizens and young babies are beingraped and brutalised.We cannot continue blaming apartheid.

We need to confront these criminals andstop being shocked! We know its happen-ing and we need to turn our shock and an-ger into action.I would support attempts to bring back

the death penalty for cases involving seri-ous violent crimes, such as the rape andkilling of babies and elderly persons witha very clear understanding this penaltycannot be applied in politically-motivatedcrimes. I would also fully support a cam-paign to remove firearms from ordinarycitizens and only allowingmembers of lawenforcement agencies to carry them.Those caught and convicted of carrying il-legal and unlicensed firearms should beconsidered in the same vein as rapists andcold-blooded killers: life sentences with nooption of parole.Rozario Brown

Treat all trafficoffendersequallyONMonday 25 February, while waiting tocross Main Road in Wynberg, I observeda traffic officer issuing fines for vehiclesparking in a loading zone.At the same time two taxis, on different

occasions, turned into Lower ChurchStreet from Main Road, stopping in themiddle of the intersection for passengersto disembark.In so doing, they blocked all the vehicles

inMain Road because there were other ve-hicles wanting to turn.I have never seen a traffic officer walk-

ing down Lower Main Road to ticket thetaxis that are parked on the sidewalk ordouble parking in those narrow streets.Are we, the law abiding citizens, easy

targets or are the authorities afraid to rep-rimand the taxi industry who constantlybreak the law?It will be a wonderful day when we are

all treated equally.George

Eagles kill Snipers’ aim at HartleyvalePRINCESS PRO SERIES defending

champions, the Enriching Life Eagles,are on track to claim their third title

in the tournament after a victory in theiropening game on SundayThe Eagles were expected to continue

where they left off last season and see off theSynsport Snipers with ease, but the opposi-tiondidn’t seem tobe reading from the samescript and went into the half time breakleading 2-0.The defending champions managed to

pull level the scores by the finalwhistle, andwent on to win the resulting showdowns –similar to a soccer penalty shoot-out – 3-0.Andrew Winter was the Player of the

Match for the Snipers, while Keenan Hornetook the honours for the Eagles.There were goals aplenty as the other Pro

Series games at Hartleyvale continued,with two goals ormore being scored in eachmatch.In the opening men’s match, the Printing

Press Pharaohs put four unanswered goalspast the Strata Civil Serpents, scoring twoin each half. Lungile Tsolekile, a 2008 Bei-jing Olympian, was named Man of thematch for the Pharaohs, while Mark Wil-liams took the honours for the Serpents.The opening encounter for the ladies was

dominated by the Eurolux Fireflies, forwhom SA women’s player Ilse Davids wonthe pink socks, awarded to the player of thematch. Candice Manuel was named as theTeamStrikers Player of theMatch althoughher teamwas on thewrong side of a 2-0 drub-bing.In the second women’s game, the Jewel

Africa All Stars had the better of a hecticfirs- half, leading the Maidens 4-2 at thebreak.

Four more goals were recorded in a moreeven second-half, although the All Stars –whose Player of theMatch was captain Jen-

na Cunliffe – ran out 6-4 winners in a ten-goal thriller. Nicole Bartsch walked awaywith the pink socks for the Maidens.

Annual walk a success – againLIAM MOSES

A LOUD bang from the starting pistoland they were off – 20 000 people walk-ing through the streets of Green Point

and Sea Point in the annual Sunshine D Po-lar Ice Cream 10km Big Walk.The walk, of which People’s Post was the

printmedia sponsor, has grown to be a high-light on the Cape Town sports calendar andneither the early start nor the rising temper-ature kept walkers from lining up en masseat Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.Elias Parker, convenor of the executive

committee for the walk organisers, thanked

all the walkers for their support of the eventand the charitieswhichwill benefit from theproceeds.“The organisers really believes that the

community has taken ownership of thisevent and we are privileged to host thisevent every year, as well as being able to beof service to our people,” says Parker.“They are the true inspirational force be-

hind this event. They have made this aniconic event.We do the preparation work and we find

satisfaction in that, but this event would notbe successful if not for the support. Thou-sands of people have walked in the last few

years so theyhave escalated this event to thepoint where it is recognised as the third big-gest walking event in Cape Town.”This year the Red Cross Children’s Hospi-

tal Trust and Islamic Library will again bethe beneficiaries of the money raised by thewalkers.Since the inaugural event in 2000 over

R1.35m has been raised for the HospitalTrust and been used to upgrade and main-tain the hospital’s facilities, to improve lifefor patients.Last year alone R150 000was raised for the

hospital, and substantial sums have alsobeen donated to the Islamic Library, the

League of the Friends of the Blind and Giftof the Givers.Any funds donated to the Hospital Fund

this year will be used for the constructionof a new radiology department, which is ex-pected to cost over R40m.This year, walkers were also addressed by

Fikile Mbalula, the national Minister ofSport and Recreation.All finishers received a medal and cash

prizes were awarded at a lucky draw afterthe race.The main prize was two airline tickets to

Dubai and $500 spending money.Liam.Moses@peoplespose.co.za
