Phew neighbourhood watch – a combina- tion of Puns Estate, Heathfield, Elfindale and Winsor Park – is aimed at deterring criminals from committing crime in these areas. Enver Maneveld, chairperson of the watch, says the watch was established about 10 months ago in an effort to decrease crime in the area. “There had been an increase in crime and myself and another resident decided to take action, to start patrolling our neighbour- hood and deter criminal activity,” he says. Maneveld says more residents slowly joined as the word spread about what they were trying to achieve. The neighbourhood watch now has about 200 members and 40 active patrollers. “We are always urging people to join the neighbourhood watch or to start their own street committee. Being a neighbourhood watch member does not mean that you have to patrol – there are many other roles to play,” he says. Maneveld says even when walking to the shop someone can be on patrol, while walk- ing their dog as well as sitting at home on the stoep. These are all part of being an ac- tive member. “We understand that there are many eld- erly people who cannot physically do what we do and we do not expect them to go out on patrol in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning. We need to ensure that we look out for them,” he says. The neighbourhood watch members pa- trol every day during specific times they have worked out according to trend of crimes committed. “We patrol between four to six hours per shift and drive around in our cars,” he says. People’s Post joined the neighbourhood watch on a patrol last week and could see ex- actly what they did when out on the streets. While driving around the watch members looked out for open gates, checked cars parked outside driveways and on the streets and checked suspicious people walking around. The watch also relies on police assistance during patrols if they come across suspi- cious individuals. “As patrollers and a neighbourhood watch we are the eyes and ears of the police. And without their support we cannot do this on our own. In cases where we come across sus- picious people while out on patrol we call for police support,” he says. Maneveld urges residents to join the watch if they want to make a difference in their community.

Police are on the hunt for three suspectsinvolved in a British American Tobacco

(BAT) robbery.The incident occurred on Wednesday 29

July at about 11:00.Captain Angie Latchman, spokesperson

of Wynberg police cluster, says the BAT em-ployee was making a delivery in GabrielRoad, Plumstead when he was allegedly ac-costed by three unknown men who got intohis van and ordered him to hand over thekeys.

“The suspects then drove the vehicle andstopped in Whitby Road where they offload-

ed the cigarettes into a Nissan bearing regis-tration number CA 879282 and fled from thescene, leaving the driver and the panel vanbehind,” Latchman says.

Immediate investigations at the scene es-tablished that the getaway car had been re-ported stolen in Grassy Park.

Latchman says police later recovered theabandoned getaway car in Bellville.

“The identity of the suspects could not beestablished as they were wearing balacla-vas. The victim did not sustain any injuriesduring the incident. Police investigationsare continuing,” she says.

Cigarette van robbed

The police arrested three men in possessionof stolen goods to the value of R15 000 inHout Bay.

The arrest follows a car chase on Tuesdaylast week at about 05:00 as police officers onpatrol noticed a suspicious blue Volkswag-en Golf in Albert Road.

Warrant officer Tanay Lesch, spokesper-son of Hout Bay police station, says a chaseensued and the car was pulled over in Hang-berg.

“The three suspects and the car weresearched and after questioning the sus-

pects, the officers visited a home addressprovided by the suspects,” she says.

Lesch explains that the victim (at the ad-dress provided to the police) informed themthat she had given one of the suspect’s aplace to sleep and he cleaned out her garageduring the night. A camping fridge, clothes,weed eater, tools and other items were sto-len.

Park gets upgradefor family funASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

In an effort to create a more family-friendlypark the Friends of Wynberg Park have es-

tablished a landscape master plan.Former chairperson of the Friends Henk

Egbrink took People’s Post on a tour of thepark and explained what the plan entailed.

The City of Cape Town developed the mas-ter plan for the upgrade of Wynberg Park,situated off Trovato Link Road in Wynberg.

This plan will guide future developmentof the park.

The park is used by people from as faraway as Khayelitsha, says Egbrink.

“We want to create a family feel, with playequipment, braai areas and a bigger foot-path,” he says.

The plan entails widening the footpathsto make it more user-friendly for motherswith prams, toddlers on bicycles, visitors inwheelchairs and visitors walking theirdogs.

“On weekends there are hundreds of peo-ple visiting the park – for picnics, concerts,fun days, film shoots, events and braaiing,”he says.

Egbrink says the upgrade will encourage

more visitors – to accommodate everyonethe master plan has been put in place.

“We want to ensure that the park is welllooked after and attractive,” he says.

Opportunities to socialiseThe City of Cape Town recently installed

new play equipment for the children andpaved one braai section. There are alsoplans to install more braai spots.

“It makes it more convenient for peoplewhen the play area is close to the braai spots– parents can watch their children whilethey enjoy socialising with friends and fam-ily,” he says.

The park also boasts thousands of trees.Egbrink offers tours of the park for people

interested in trees and plants.“We have schools and crèches that bring

the children to the park for the day and theypicnic and play on the equipment as well aslearn about the trees,” he says.

Egbrink says while there is a lot still tobe done in the par, he is pleased that thereare plans in place to ensure the park is wellmaintained for years to come.

“We need to protect what is in the commu-nity and can only do so if we all participateand look after the facility,” he says.

New play equipment was recently installed in Wynberg Park for children to enjoy. New braaispots will also be placed close to the play equipment as part of a master plan for the park.

They’re ‘mad’about educationTo prepare SouthAfrican stu-

dents with tools for their fu-tureas the leaders of tomorrow,theMad charity has undergonea rebranding.The non-profit organisation,

affectionately known by itssupporters as Mad, will now beknown as the Make a Differ-ence Leadership Foundation,to emphasise the organisa-tion’s focus on leadership de-velopment through education.The launch of the new name

took place at a gala event host-ed by former Springbok cap-tain Francois Pienaar lastweek.Pienaar, chairperson of the

Foundation, said despite thechallenges facing South Afri-cans, and the education andleadership gaps that desperate-ly needed to be addressed thefoundationhas always believedin the vast potential that existsin South Africa.“Positive effective change

will come from strong leadersand it is critical that their po-tential be developed througheducation andmentorship.Ourrevised name and brand wasdriven by the need to focusmore on leadership, as this iskey to creating lasting changein our country,” he said.Duringapress conferencebe-

fore the launch, Pienaar dis-cussed how the Make a Differ-ence Leadership Foundationraised the bar of education in the coun-try.He explained that the approach was to

identify academically talented pupils,who did not have the necessary financialresources and offer them support for ed-ucation, leadership and life-skills devel-opment.Pienaar said a key message was that

therewas anopportunity for everyone inSouth Africa to make a difference

through mentoring and supporting tal-ented pupils with leadership potential inall communities.“Imagine if we can grow an army of

young people who care about this coun-try, who care about society, who careabout education. What a powerful forcefor change that could be.”V For more information visit www.madcharity.orgor contact Amy Stevens on 021 974 6231 or [email protected].

Well-known floral artist and conserva-tionist Betty Bowker Dwight passed

away peacefully during Saturday night.At 90 years of age, she was very frail the

past fewmonths as her heart has been fail-ing for some years.Rondebosch Common was her passion.In 1976 she began to plan her life’s work

that would depict the Common’s flora andfauna, month by month.She gave permission for the Friends of

the Rondebosch Common to create prettyand useful cards which still give theFriends valuable income to help maintainthe work on the Common.In 2007 Dwight received the Lifetime

AchievementAward at the Cape TimesVo-dacom Environmental Awards in recogni-tion of her dedication to the RondeboschCommon.Her great wish was to publish a book of

her portfolio of her paintings of the Com-mon and, together with the Friends, abeautiful book was created, RondeboschCommon, which has also provided theFriends much-needed funds to continuemaintenance work.She was thrilled that her book was pub-

lished and sent far and wide to familiesnow living in the United Kingdom and theUnited States.According to theFriends, Dwight always

knew if a particular specieswas to be foundon the Common and exactly where to findit.She was an active member both of the

Friends and the liaison committee for theCommon until recent years. She nevermissed the Spring flower walks on theCommoneither –hurrying, eager and smil-ing, across to the Common as the groupsgathered for their Sunday walks.The Friends say Dwight was a caring

member of her community, visiting thesick and lonely at St Anthony’s, Arcadiaand the Alexandria Institute, as well asfriends and neighbours isolated at home.She was also an active member of herchurch.Dwight was born on 15 October 1924.According to the Friends she lived near

Rondebosch Common all her life.“Her work represents an extraordinary

journey in the life of a woman followingher childhood passion,” the Friends say.“We loved you so much, Betty, and we

will miss you. Go in peace”.The next Spring flower walk on 23 Au-

gust will be dedicated to Dwight. Meet onthe grassed area at 11:15.

City countshomelessASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

About 7383 homeless people are living inshelters and on the streets of the city, a

survey conducted by the City of Cape Townhas found.In the first of its kind in South Africa, the

City completed a headcount of street peoplein the space of 10 days.The surveywas done inWynberg, the city

centre, foreshore, Bellville, Goodwood,Strandfontein, Parow, Sea Point, Portlands,TableView,Tafelsig,Mitchell’s Plain,KuilsRivier, Claremont, Woodstock, Lansdowne,Lentegeur, Muizenberg, Vredehoek, Oran-jezicht, Retreat and Milnerton. In each ofthese areas 50 or more homeless peoplewere found.The City’s social development and early

childhood development directorate has re-vealed these findings. It is part of a researchproject that set out to determine thenumberof street people in Cape Town, but also togain a better understanding of the phenom-enon of homelessness.Researcher Lynn Hendricks has present-

ed a report on the survey. She said the rea-sonswhy the surveywas donewas to under-stand the phenomenon of homelessness,and tomake recommendations for interven-tion strategies and implementation planswithin the City.Hendricks explained how the survey was

done and said that the City was clustered,using the Cape Townmap book. Five teamswere allocated specific areas in Cape Town.Teams walked and drove around their ar-

eas and team leaders ensured that every ar-ea marked in the map book was covered.“The state of homelessness aswe current-

ly face it is different to what we observedjust a few years ago,” Hendricks said.She explained that homelessness was an

ever-growing problem. To understand thephenomenon it was important to look at dif-ferent aspects of the problem, includingcharacteristics of street people, pathways tohomelessness, the homeless culture, exitstrategies for homelessness and interven-tions regarding homelessness.

R10m to helpSuzette Little, mayoral committee mem-

ber for social development and early child-hood development, said the street peoplecount coincided with an investment of justunder R10m in the directorate’s street peo-ple programme.“The budget for this programme has

grown from R4.5m in 2013/14 to R7.8m in2014/15 to R9.7m in 2015/16 – an increase ofmore than 100%,” she said.Little said the research team deliberately

operated in the early morning hours to dis-tinguish between people who slept on thestreet and job seekers who made their wayto economic hubs during daylight hours.“They did not only focus on the obvious

areas, like streets and bridges and buildingentrances, but also ventured into themoun-tains above Fish Hoek, for example, tocheck for people sleeping in these areas,”she said.According to Little, theCity hasmade tre-

mendous strides in recent years in its ef-forts to address the complex problem ofhomelessness in a holistic way.“It is not something that is unique toCape

Town, but I would like to think thatwe havecharted a good course inhowweaddress it,”she said.

More than 50 homeless people have been found in Wynberg, as well as other areas of the city.A study team came across a number of people living under a bridge in the foreshore.

Mayor Patricia de Lille has praised blindwomen for their strength, courage and

perseverance in refusing to be defined bychallenging situations they have beenthrough or that they face every day.De Lille addressed women from South Af-

rican Blind Women in Action (SABWIA) atthe Cape Town Society of the Blind in SaltRiver on Thursday last week.

De Lille said at the event she chose to cele-brate Women’s Day with them as they werethe women who overcame adversity and re-fused to be victims. Instead, they took actionto empower themselves and set a shining ex-ample for everyone.“You remind me of the 20 000 women who,

on 9 August 1956, made history when theymarched to the Union buildings to petitionagainst the divisive pass laws. Those womenmade a powerful statement that marked oneof the most significant turning points in the

fight against apartheid.“Like those women, you have also taken

a stand. Despite the physical challengesyou face every day, you make a daily deci-sion not to be victims of your circumstan-ces. Instead, your will to succeed has ledyou to overcome adversity, learn newskills and use your time to serve people inneed,” she said.

Empowering projectsSABWIA is an organisation that empow-

ers blind women to live life to the fullest.It runs entrepreneurial projects, focusingon knitting, weaving and craft work, aswell as programmes that empower womenby providing social work services, place-ment services, computer literacy, officeadministration and entrepreneurial train-ing.Attending the event was Netty Coetzee

(50), who said it was heart-warming.“We feel very excited that we are also re-

membered. It makes us feel better that wedon’t live in a world of our own but peoplearound us notice that we are there and

they do things with us inmind. I’m so happyand very excited that we had to come togeth-er and celebrate aswomen because there area lot of challenges that we face,” she said.

DonationDeLille donatedR10 000 tohelp the organi-

sation run its programmes, as well as vari-ous food items like canned foods, vegetables,rice and wool.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape Town

Society of the Blind, said women lived in atimewhere theywere confrontedwith socialchallenges but they had to stand theirground.“Do things for yourself, equipyourself and

make magic happen. Don’t let anythingbring you down, you have done a lot foryourselves,” she said.Elizabeth Maphike from SABWIA said

they were grateful and they hadn’t expectedit.“It’s suchanhonour tohave suchanevent.

We are really happy and it gives us strengthto carry on with the work we do for otherblind women,” she said.

Shark spotter Sarah tops SANICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cape Town’s Shark Spotters have receivedyet another accolade, as project manager

Sarah Waries has been recognised on theMail& Guardian newspaper’s list of 200 YoungSouth Africans.Waries joined the Shark Spotters team in

2008. She startedmanaging it along with sever-al other projects, but it has now grown into afull-time job.The programme now employs 45 people

working as shark spotters on eight beaches.“The nomination is great recognition. We’ve

beenworkingveryhard to grow theproject andwe’re starting to get recognition on so manylevels. But the awards should really go to the

shark spotters themselves,” she says.Waries began her career as an environmen-

talist when she moved to Cape Town to studybaboons in Kommetjie as part of her Honoursdegree study.“I’ve always been obsessed with animals. I

was fortunate to grow up in different countriesand see some really cool animals,” she says.Although she returned to the UK afterwards,

working on projects such as implementing thefirst recycling system at Wimbledon, shecouldn’t stay away from the beauty of the Capefor long.“Cape Town has such a diverse and beautiful

environment,” she says.But when Waries started on the Shark Spot-

ters project, she knew next to nothing aboutsharks, she confesses.

“I’ve learnt so much about sharks and ma-rine conservation through the programme. It’samazing to see how so many people feel con-nected to the sea,” she says.False Bay boasts the world’s largest aggrega-

tion of white sharks on the doorstep of a majorcity, with over 450 individual sharks identifiedoff Cape Town over the past 10 years.The organisation is now bucking down to

prepare for the summer season, which willkick off with a symposium on Southern Afri-can sharks and rays, which will take place inSimon’s Town in September.The Shark Spotters will also visit Western

Australia, to assess the feasibility of installingshark exclusion nets there, Waries says.“None of our programme is patented or any-

thing. We just want to help people,” she says. Sarah Waries

New way to enter Cycle TourEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Riders hoping to enter next year’s CapeTown Cycle Tour (CTCT) will have toadhere to new, groundbreaking entry

requirements.The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust

(CTCTT), which organises and runs therace, has announced a new entry system.An online “ballot system” will now re-

place the first-come, first-serve process,which the Trust says will bring them in linewith other international events. Such a bal-lot system has never been used in a SouthAfrican race before.This is in an effort to give every potential

entrant a fair chance of competing in therace by avoiding a fast sell-out of spots,which has been the case in the race’s recenthistory. Entries to this year’s race sold outin a record eight hours.The Trust has also increased the number

of entries from 35 000 to 40 000, butDavidBel-lairs, a director of the Trust, confirms thatno corporate group entries will be allowed,encouraging those who have made use ofthese entries in the past to follow either thepublic entry process or take up the opportu-nity to support a charity.Bellairs says these charities will be allo-

cated 7000 entries and the Pedal PowerAsso-ciation (PPA) will receive 5000 entries,which will be given to random members ofthe Association.“To honour PPA as founders of the event,

its paid-up members will be offered an ‘ear-ly-bird’ opportunity to register their interestin an entry to next year’s race.“Thosewho are unsuccessful in the initial

PPAballotwill automatically beadded to thegeneral public ballot, starting on 9 Septem-ber, giving them an additional chance to beawarded an entry,” Bellairs explains.27 000 ballotswill be available to the gener-

al public, with a further 1000made availabletodevelopmental associationsaswell as sub-stitutions.Registration of interest in obtaining a bal-

lot will be free and will open on 9 Septemberat 13:00.The window for such registration will re-

main open until 25 September at 13:00.Prospective riders (both local and interna-

tional) can register their interest at www.cycletour.co.za.Doing so amounts to an indication of inter-

est only, and will not ensure entry, and willrequire prospective entrants to update theirdetails at the same time.In the week following the closure of the

window for registration, successful appli-

cants will receive emails from the CTCT toconfirm that they have been awarded an en-try, which will cost R470 per local rider.International entrieswill remain openun-

til February, or until the allocation of 5000riders is reached, and will cost R800 each.Unsuccessful applicants will also receive

an email and will be invited to enter via asupporting charity or by means of the offi-cial substitution process in January.Successful applicants will have until 26

October to pay and secure their entry. Pay-ment not received before this date, or the ap-

plicant’s option to de-cline the entry, will re-sult in that entry beingmadeavailable to apre-viously unsuccessfulrider.According to Bel-

lairs, online ballotshave been successful intop European andAmerican sportingevents.“Such systems have

become standard prac-tice at key sportingevents around theworld, including theNew York Marathonand Boston Marathon.The Trust, along withits three co-namingrights sponsors – CapeArgus, Pick n Pay andMomentum – carefullyresearched and consid-ered all options, andweare confident that ournew process will serveriders well and furtherentrench the global ap-peal of the CTCT,” hesays.“We want to avoid

thousands of appli-cants rushing to befirst in line as the entry

portal opens, and being disappointed whenthey sell out in a matter of hours.“Our intention is to create a fairer system

as it allows for a greater and more inclusiveopportunity. Entries will be awarded at ran-dom, regardless of whether interest is regis-tered on the first or the last day. We believethe implementation of this new system is thebest way forward,” concludes Bellairs.As in previous years, a certain number of

the entries will be made available via chari-ty groups at varying costs.The CTCT takes place on 6 March.

Mitchell’s Plain girls wing it to the topEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The sport of rugby is flourishing inMitchell’s Plain, but not in theway thatyou may think.

What started out as just a fledgling initia-tive a little less than sixmonths old, has nowflourished into amovementwhereby, for thefirst time, three girls from the area haveopened spots for themselves at provinciallevel.The Princeton duo of Leandi Smith and

Shoneez Sabatini, as well asWestridge HighSchool’s Michaela Palmer, are representingWP at u.16 and u.18 levels respectively.The Mitchell’s Plain regional team is

coached by Shafiek Murphy, who is alsofrom Princeton, and managed by Rabia Al-exander.“If you look at the girls’ region at the mo-

ment, our rugby is only five, six months old.At themomentwehave threeWPgirls in ourteam. They just came back fromnationals inOudtshoorn and they won the nationals andMichaela’s team (WP u.18) won their nation-als in Durban. Shoneez has (recently) beenincluded in the u.16 team,” says Murphy.He says that the girls play both sevens and

full matches and, depending on the event,the regions meet up at least once a monthto take part in a festival.Alexander did not believe she would end

up being part of a women’s rugby team, butis thoroughly enjoying the experience.“Our girls are doing excellently and the

team work is great. First it was just Prince-ton against Westridge and all the otherschools, but since we have combined, thelove for the game is even better now.”Shoneez (15) says rugby just became an

overnight passion of hers and that she seesa future for herself in the sport.“I just tried it out. Something just made

mewant to try it out. Itwas just abouthavingfun, trying our best and doing it as a team.Rugby builds me as a person and I am doingit for my future. I want to give my mothera better life, because she is doing her bestto provide for me, so I must do my best atschool and what I have, I must do my best,”she says.Michaela (16), meanwhile, started playing

the sport after her classmates insisted shejoin them. She found the adrenalin rush she

gets from playing is particularly addictive,while Leandi fell in love with the sport be-cause she is sporty by nature.“I first played touch rugby, but then WP

coach Ramsay came to our school and intro-duced full contact rugby to us. I run a lot andI run fast, so I love scoring tries,” Leandibeams.Murphy says future plans involve devel-

oping a high-performance group of playersto feed and strengthen WP women’s rugby.
