Alack of resources, a prefabricatedbuilding, police corruption and sys-tematic problems are at the centre of

an investigation intoOceanViewPolice Sta-tion.Following several complaints and con-

cerns levelled at the station, provincial po-lice have launched an investigation.A report has been submitted by Mark Wi-

ley, chairperson of the Community Safety,Cultural Affairs and Sport portfolio commit-tee andmember of provincial parliament forinvestigation.Wiley has questioned the Resources Allo-

cation Guide (Rag) for the police precinctwhich covers Ocean View, Masiphumeleleand Kommetjie.He says according to the Rag, the precinct

services just over 40 000 people, but Wileyestimates the population of Masiphumelelealone to be more than this.He says the station also currently has 11

vacancies which remain unfilled as officershave either transferred, resigned or passedaway.“In addition, many officers live in Khay-

elitsha and Mitchell’s Plain and travel in tothe Far South. With the condition of publictransport many of them arrive late or don’tpitch up,” he says.This problem, Wiley says, is also fuelled

by the lack of police barracks in the FarSouth.After receiving continuous phone calls

from distraught residents who claim theycannot get assistance from police, Wileysays he and many others felt somethingneeded to be done.He explains countless visits to the station

have showed the shift management systemtobedysfunctional resulting in a lackof visi-ble policing.“When I receive calls I go to the scene to

see for myself what is happening. I then goto the police station and so many times I seethe that officers who are on leave are listedon theactive shift. This doesn’tmake sense,”he says.In some instances officers listed for a shift

were all not available, Wiley says.The building has also been raised as a con-

cern as, Wiley says, the prefabricated wallspose a risk as evidence is not secured.

“Someone could easily hit a hole in thewall and all evidence in the room could bestolen,” he adds.In addition, the report asks police to inves-

tigate allegations of corruption.Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana, provincial

police communications commander, con-firms the investigation is underwaybut sayshe cannot comment on the matter.“No further details can be given at this

stage in relation to these matters,” he says.Patrick Joseph, vice-chairperson of the

Ocean View Civic Association, has wel-comed the investigation and says he hopesthere will be improvements.Due to slow response time from police,

Joseph says, residents are reluctant to joinneighbourhood watches.“You can’t expect people to put their lives

at risk when police don’t respond. It is crazy

and dangerous,” he says.Joseph explains with drug-related crimes

being at the centre of Ocean View’s crimewoes, drug dealers and gangsters “do whatthey like” as police are “absent”.“Wehardly ever get a response frompolice

or even see them patrolling in the area. Theonly time we see them is when they are con-ducting roadblocks on Kommetjie Road,” hesays.He says the incidents at the Ocean View

Central Business District (CBD) are an ex-ample. “The constant thefts and break-inshave been reported, but we don’t see anymovement from police,” he says.In Masiphumelele, proportional council-

lor Mzuvukile Nikelo says service from po-lice is non-existent.With illegal shebeens and street parties on

weekends,Nikelo says residentshavegrown

despondent.“They call police but as usual nobody

pitches up. If they do come they are afraidof criminals and don’t take action,” he says.He says lack of police action in exacerbat-

ed in the wetlands as the dense area is fre-quented by thieves.“Wehave heard ofmany reports of thieves

being chased into the wetlands. Once inside(thewetlands) police turnaroundas theyareafraid,” he says.While Nikelo welcomes the investigation,

he says without action it will amount to lit-tle.“Once they investigate they will see many

of the issues raised are true, but if they don’tcome up with a plan, it will mean nothing.”V Share your thoughts on the station. Starting withthe word “Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

YOUTH: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Fostering a safe haven to call homeCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A loving and caring environment isall a child really needs. But notmany children are afforded this op-

portunity as they fall through the cracksof abuse, neglect or poverty.Home from Home, a Cape Town-based

organisation, aims to remedy this situa-tion by creating and placing vulnerablechildren into homes of loving foster par-ents.Pippa Shaper, co-founder of the non-

profit organisation, says: “Home fromHome provides supportive and super-vised community-based foster care fororphaned, abused, neglected and vulner-able children through a network ofsmall, family homes in disadvantagedcommunities in the country. We believethat living in a small family unit withdedicated foster parents with no morethan six children, is the best place forchildren who can’t be cared for by theirown families.”The organisation has 33 foster homes

across the province and plans to extendtheir reach.“These are normal families in a nor-

mal home where the child will get sentto foster parents who can nurture themand provide the loving environment eve-ry child needs,” says Shaper.Currently 200 children are part of the

programme.“We provide and offer all the support

the foster parents may need, includingsocial work services.”Shaper says the aim of the organisa-

tion is to provide an alternative home ofcare to shelter the child from previous

abuse and neglect.“The children get placed with us after

they are referred from a children’scourt,” she says.All parents are screened and back-

ground checks are done as well as train-ing offered to ensure they can provide abetter living environment for the fosterchildren.“If we receive siblings through the

children’s court, we always place themtogether to maintain the biological fami-ly connection,” Shaper says.Every mother receives a grant to help

cover the financial costs to look aftereach child.“As far as possible we ensure there is

a mixture of ages and sexes of childrenwithin the home, thereby creating asclose to ‘normal’ a family environmentas possible for all foster children.”Foster mother Emily Kiel from Ocean

View says: “I enjoy working with youngchildren and had the opportunity to ap-ply for a full-time job that allowed me tolive out this vocation.”With six foster children in her care for

more than one year, Kiel has nurturedthem as her own since they were placedinto her care by social services.“Caring for six children is a full-time

job. This was an adjustment in and of it-self. (Whether they are a) biological orfoster child, they require the same love,care and support.”Kiel’s biological children are all

grown-up and have since moved out. Sheis, therefore, able to give undivided at-tention to the charges in her care.“Watching the children in my care

grow and blossom is particularly re-warding. I sit with them every day to as-

sist with their homework and supportthem through the challenges of schoollife. At the end of the term or the end ofthe school year, when this hard workpays off with excellent results, (it) is defi-nitely cause for celebration,” she says.Beauty Sqalane from Masiphumelele

is also a foster mother. While unable tohave children of her own, Sqalane says:“I have somuch love inmyheart for chil-dren. Being a fostermother has givenmethe chance to share this love.”Sqalane says: “This is an opportunity

to share my love with children who, be-fore living in foster care, have had verydifficult lives. The relationships I haveformedwith each ofmy children is some-thing that is very special.”Sqalane has been a foster mother for

more than two years.Home from Home has a specific strate-

gy and approach to follow when settingup a new foster home. Through this ap-proach they are able to ensure that thereis a definite need in the community foreach foster home, that the home is em-powered through community groupswhich support the project, that the homeis fully equipped and that foster parentsare constantly supported and supervisedby Home from Home to ensure the chil-dren receive the best possible care.All foster parents have the opportunity

to network with each other so they mayshare their experiences, learn from oneanother and share the responsibility ofraising their foster children.V Donations for Home from Home can be madethrough direct deposits to Home from Home Trust,Nedbank South Africa, branch code 101 109, ac-count number 101 110 9700.

GLENCAIRN: WORKERS FED-UP OVER PAY SLIP-UPS

Work on wall resumesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Repair work along the wall on MainRoad in Glencairn has been delayed.This follows a spat betweenworkers

and Likhanyile Trading Enterprise.Likhanyile was awarded the R3.8m ten-

der from the City of Cape Town and workbegan in December.On Thursday 27 March, workers downed

tools following ongoing concerns aboutsafety and incorrect payments.They claimed they were not issued pay-

slips, drinking water or safety equipment.Initial threats to protest along GlencairnMainRoadweremuffledwhenproportionalcouncillor Pat Francke called for calm.Later that day, the men signed a petition

outlining their concerns.Transport mayco member Brett Herron

says the City requested an urgent reportfrom the consultant on the issues raised.He says work was scheduled to be com-

plete in March, but “the contractor has notmet the deadline”.“The contractor is liable for penalties and

has put in a claim for additional time. If allgoes according to plan, the new envisagedcompletion date is the end of April,” hesays.In their petition, themen claimed in addi-

tion to not being paid, they were forced toprovide their own safety equipment, in-cluding boots and helmets.Siyabonga Siyo says after two weeks,

workers are still disgruntled as many oftheir concerns have not been addressed.“We are working in the hot sun with no

safety equipment and many days there isnot even water to drink,” he says.Likhanyile denies this, adding the work-

ers were employed by them only fromTues-day 1 April.Chris duPlessis, who is in charge of Likh-

anyile’s Western Cape branch, says fromDecember to March they were employed byGrifcor.ButGrifcor ownerCollinToring counters

this, saying: “I was employed to oversee thesite. Likhanyile employed themenand thendidn’t pay them.”Du Plessis says during the transition

from Grifcor to Likhanyile the men weregiven bank accounts to receive their pay.“Certain glitches were experienced in

dealing with the bank as well as on Likh-anyile’s side. Discrepancies with labourbookingswere experienced, but have subse-quently been resolved,” she says.The men confirm this, while some claim

to still have problems with their pay.Gordon Rensburg from Red Hill who

worked on the site fromDecember toMarchsays he has still not been paid and has sincelooked for other work.He explains sinceMarch theyhavenot re-

ceived payslips and therefore cannot ques-tion their income. “We had nothing thatshowed the hours we worked; we just hadto take what we got, so I left,” he says.Likhanyile says payslips were provided

by Grifcor. In addition Rensburg says with-out contracts, workers had no protection.Siyo says a lack of drinking water has an-

gered workers over time who are forced tobring their own water to the site.Du Plessis says this is not true as in addi-

tion to fresh water they receive ice waterfrom the community liaison officer.She says claims by workers on the ab-

sence of safety equipment are “absolutelynot true” and referred People’s Post to theCity’s report.In this report Herron says safety equip-

ment “was provided”. He provided pic-tures, which, he says, were taken in Janu-ary, showing workers wearing helmets.However, no helmets were evident dur-

ing a People’s Post interview in March.The men say they were informed of jobs

available in Glencairn by friends and rela-tives and did not get listed on the City’s un-employment database.“We truly took the community in consid-

eration and 90% of our work force is fromthe local communities of Red Hill,Masiphumelele and Ocean View.”Du Plessis says: “We focus on upliftment

of the local community and on educatingthe workers to become skilled after thisproject is completed.”Herron confirms the workers were

sourced from surrounding communitiesand are listed on the job seekers database.Siyo says despite the claims of “every-

thing being sorted”manyworkerswere notpaid last week. “And should they not bepaid this week, we are going to stop work-ing. This has gone on too long.”V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”.SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

HOUT BAY: ROW OVER TOLLGATE

Police, Entilini toiron out accessMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Hout Bay policeandEntiliniOper-ations will meet

over access at the tollgate on Chapman’sPeak Drive.

This follows a publicspat over access for po-lice vehicles last week.

According to reportsHout Bay Police Stationcommander Lieuten-ant-Colonel BonganiMtakati claimed policeofficers could not getthrough the toll gate toassist an Iranian familywho was robbed.

In a statement pro-vincial transportminis-ter Robin Carlisle said“Mtakati was lying” and submitted pic-tures of the toll booth.

He explains the driver of the police vehi-cle was issued with a day pass and allowedentry into Chapman’s Peak Drive.

“Within three minutes, the police vehiclereturned to the plaza headed in the direc-tion of Hout Bay, handing the pass back tothe toll collector,” Carlisle said.

According to schedule B of the agreementbetween Entilini and provincial govern-ment police vehicles, among others, are ex-empt from paying the toll, says Carlisle.

Provincial police spokesperson ColonelTembinkosi Kinana says they cannot com-ment on Carlisle’s statement ahead of themeeting.

“We thereforewouldnotwant to pre-emptthe outcome of the set meeting,” Kinanasays.

Mtakati confirmed meetings have takenplace and more feedback is required.

He says only once an agreement isreached can he comment on the issue.

Carlisle says access to police and otheremergency vehicles will be improved withthe introduction of an automatic numberplate recognition system at the toll plaza.

“This system is at an advanced stage oftesting and will ensure that these vehiclesreceive automatic entry when performingtheir duties,” Carlisle says.

The date of the meeting was not con-firmed at the time of going to press.

RECLINE IN COMFORTFeel the comfortof our new rangein-store now.

In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the City’s Solid WasteManagement Department has printed the letters ‘CCT SWM’ followed by a serial numberin black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can berecognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the Citycontinues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as wellas in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refusebags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with otherbags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste ManagementDepartment’s Cleansing Branch.

Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the City’s SolidWasteManagement branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail riaan.truter@capetown.gov.za.

If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumpingand dealt with accordingly.

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line withmaintaining a well-run city.

CITY APPEALS TO RESIDENTS TOREPORT ILLEGAL SALE OF STOLENCOUNCIL REFUSE BAGS

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

A mixed reaction from residents re-garding the proposed taxi route overOuKaapseWeghas sparked a request

by the South Peninsula Subcouncil for peo-ple to make suggestions.The proposed route is envisioned to as-

sist school children, students and workerswho travel between Masiphumelele andWestlake.Many Xhosa-speaking pupils from West-

lake and Capricorn hike along the road tomake their way to Masiphumelele HighSchool as it is the closest school offeringXhosa to high school pupils.Lastmonth, a 15-year-old pupil was sexu-

ally assaultedwhile catching a lift to schoolwith an elderly man.The new route, proposed by the subcoun-

cil, is to have been run by the Masiphume-lele Taxi Association.Masiphumelele proportional councillor

Mzuvukile Nikelo received a joint letterfrom students who attend False Bay Col-lege’s Westlake Campus requesting thenew route.He has liaised with the taxi association

who has agreed the new route is feasible.But following concerns from residents

the subcouncil has opened up the proposalfor comments and suggestions.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-

chase says officials from the City of CapeTown’s public transport department arescheduled to embark on a survey once theschool holidays are over.Officials are now also looking into the

possibility of developing a bus route.She says there are many factors to con-

sider before the final decision ismade. “Weneed to look at how many people need thisservice as well as what the best mode oftransport is,” Purchase explains.Commenting on whether or not officials

will consider restricting the route to oper-ate only during peak hours, Purchase saysthis will be determined by the survey.“At this pointwe cannot say.Weneed the

survey results and for people to comment,”she says.Masiphumelele High School principal

Nelson Mafrika says 76 children fromWestlake and Capricorn hitchhike on OuKaapse Weg.

In previous comment he said the schoolwas concerned about the safety of pupilsand as the cost of taxi fares.Following a previous article (“New route

to give hiking the boot”, People’s Post, 27March) many readers aired their views.While many residents are excited about

the route, others have voiced their con-cern.One reader wrote: “I’m glad to see atten-

tion is focused on public transport. It’s notjust Masiphumelele and Ocean View resi-dents (who) are cut off when they reside in(the Far South). We can’t go to Westlake orTokai to find employment, as there are notrains or buses.”Raising a concern about the safety of tax-

is,k another reader wrote: “(It is a) niceidea; I am just very concerned about thetaxi-related accidents that will happen onan already dangerous road.”Residents are now asked to submit their

comments and suggestions to the subcoun-cil.V To comment or make suggestions on this proposedroute email Purchase on FelicityAnne.Purchase@ca-petown.gov.za or subcouncil manager Desiree Men-toor on Desiree.Mentor@capetown.gov.za.

No rest for victorious IkeysUCT will launch straight into Western

Province club rugby competition lessthan a week after winning their sec-

ond FNB Varsity Cup title.The Ikey Tigers beat NWU Pukke in the

final in Potchefstroom on Monday night,but will have to keep the celebrations briefahead of their first Super League A fixtureagainst Tygerberg on Saturday.Theymaynot havemuch time to saviour

the victory, but Ikeys will certainly beboosted by the manner of their win.UCT got off to a flying start as a flowing

backline move saw outside-centre HuwJones hit a gap and surge over for the open-ing try.Dean Grant’s conversion attempt hit the

upright to start what would be an incon-sistent night with the boot.

Pukke responded by forcing UCT back-wards and a period of sustained pressuresaw the hosts take the lead when flankRhyk Welgemoed burst through a gap andscrumhalf Tiaan Dorfling converted thetry.They took advantage of theirmomentum

and increased the lead as good hands downthebackline saw leftwingLutherObi scorein the corner.UCT were first to score when the sides

returned from the strategy break, withwing Richard Stewart finishing off a coun-ter-attack after flank Jason Klaasen won aturnover in his 22. Grant was again off tar-get from the kicking tee.UCT received a massive boost when op-

position centre Johan Deysel was yellow-carded for a perceived reckless tackle, but

they could not capitalise before the half-time whistle sounded.Pukke were the next to score, with hook-

er Armand van der Merwe powering hisway over from close range after a series ofstrong drives by the hosts.The try went unconverted and theywere

again reduced to 14 men soon afterwards,when tighthead prop Nhlanhla Ngcamusaw yellow for a high tackle.But Pukke continued scoring despite the

numerical disadvantage, with Dillon Smitscoring a penalty to take the score to 20-10.UCT needed a response to get back into

the game, and got it from a driving maulwith the hard-working Klaasen crashingover to cut the deficit to 20-15.UCTwere cut down to 14men after a cyn-

ical infringement fromwingLihleliXoli on

their try-line andPukke capitalised almostimmediately, with Smit forcing his wayover to extend the lead again.Lock Francois Robbertse seemingly put

the result beyond doubt when he added an-other try soon after, but UCT refused to ac-cept their fate.Michael Botha and Grant hit back with

two quick-fire tries, both of which wereconverted by Grant, before Nathan Nelstruck in extra time to hand the Ikeys thevictory.Grant added the extras to giveUCTto take the final score to 39-33.The fixture against Tygerberg will take

place at Florida Park at 16:00.The other Super League A fixtures will

see Primrose travel to Helderberg, FalseBay visit Victorians and SK Walmers faceUWC in Bellville.

Slave Route Challenge entries openLIAM MOSES

LiamCPT

Runners and walkers of all ages and experi-ence levels are advised to complete their en-tries for the fourth annual Jive Slave RouteChallenge.Online entries for the popular race, of

which People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, opened yesterday (Wednesday) and areexpected to fill up quickly.The race first took place in 2011 and the

challenge has since become a highlight onthe Cape Town sporting calendar. Last yearover 5000 people participated.As usual, the route will take participants

past some of Cape Town’s most importanthistorical sights.Race founder and director Farouk Meyer

says the event is as much about educationas exercise.“The idea was to highlight the slave herit-

age sights because a lot of people don’t knowabout it,” he says.“We have a lot of visitors from up-country

and many international entrants who willbe educated on the slave heritage and cul-ture of Cape Town.”The route will take runners and walkers

pass the Grand Parade, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Slave Lodge andthe Slave Tree Plaque.Racers will also pass several other impor-

tant monuments, run through the Castle ofGood Hope and be able to take in excellentviews of the city from some of its best van-tage points.Participants can enter for one of four dif-

ferent races at event – ahalf-marathon, 10kmrun, 10km walk and 5km run.Meyer says they aim to cater for the entire

family and all ability levels.Last year racers passed through theCastle

soon after starting the race in Darling Streetbetween the Grand Parade and City Hall.The only change to the route will see run-

ners travel throughDistrict Six before head-ing through the fort, to alleviate congestionand allow participants more time for sight-seeing.The section of the race through Pentz

Street, Bo-Kaap has become a fan favourite,Meyer says.“The hills in the race have been the talk-

ing point, with one hill has even been nick-named ‘Koesister Hill’,” he says.“Whenpeople get to the top of Pentz Street,

they have a 360° view of the city and theycan enjoy a free koesister courtesy of the Bo-Kaap community.”The racewill take place onSunday 11May.

Online entries can be completedat www.jive.topevents.co.za.Manual entries open on Monday 14 April

and can be completed at any SportsmansWarehouse store in the province.
