PHOTO: ASTRID FEBRUARIE WYNBERG Safehouse raided ASTRID FEBRUARIE @FebAstrid A safehouse for abused women and chil- dren experienced a huge blow when the property was broken into and items worth about R45 000 stolen. Now the home is in dire need of supplies and is turning to the public for support. The home is situated in Wynberg, but the precise address cannot be revealed to pro- tect the vulnerable women and children who live at the premises. Warrant officer Silvino Davids, spokes- person of Wynberg police station, has con- firmed the break-in. The safehouse is managed by Lavender Hill-based organisation Philisa Abafazi Be- thu. Manager Janine Poggenpoel says the home is an emergency facility which pro- vides a safe space for women for up to 72 hours. And there have been women and their children who have stayed longer, de- pending on their situation. “We take care of these women and chil- dren and provide them with a place of safety, away from their abusive homes and part- ners,” she says. The break-in has made it difficult for them to take on more people as they are low on supplies. “We can only accommodate a certain num- ber of people as we rely on donations and fundraisers who host events to raise the money needed to buy basic supplies,” she says. Poggenpoel says the property stolen in- cludes brand-new blankets, as well as food and clothing. “These are all basic items required to help the women and children. It is tough for us now, but somehow we manage. But we do call on the public to support us,” she says. The home has been open since 2012 and ca- ters for women and children from all com- munities. Some of the women who enter the home come with little or nothing and every- thing is provided for them – from clothing and food to supplies for their babies, which Poggenpoel says is “extremely costly”. “We feel bad when we have to turn some- one away because we do not have enough space or food. We have dedicated our time to this home, to making it a place where women and their children can feel safe. Here we guide and protect them, but we cannot do it without the support of the public.” Poggenpoel says after the break-in every- one is feeling vulnerable and scared. “We are only women here and we feel like our space has been invaded. The little bit that we have was taken from us and for wom- en and children who come from abusive backgrounds it is extremely scary,” she adds. Poggenpoel says that despite the break-in they will continue to provide a safe space for women and children who are victims of sex- ual and domestic violence to live freely and without fear and to support and educate women and children about their rights and freedoms. Readers who want to donate or make a contribution toward the safehouse can con- tact Poggenpoel on 081 320 5834.

Mental Health Awareness Month is cele-brated annually in October. This year

Cape Mental Health will be raising aware-ness around the theme of “Dignity inmentalhealth”.One in four people in all communities

have a mental health condition, and one inevery four people has, at some point in theirlives, experienced a loss of dignity becauseof their mental health condition, says CapeMental Health director Ingrid Daniels.“Few people understand the truemeaning

of dignity, and even fewer realise the ex-

traordinary impact it has on our lives andrelationships.“The social exclusion, lack of resources,

inequality, discrimination and stigma facedby many people with a mental illness inhib-its the restoration of their dignity,” she says.Cape Mental Health is aiming to restore

the dignity of patients and to address exter-nal factors that erode their dignity by offer-ing comprehensive, proactive and enablingmental health services in the province.Despite the existence of legislation, there

are still crucial issues that need to be ad-

dressed and rectified to ensure the dignityof mental health care patients, Daniels says.These include easy and reliable access to

the correct medication, access to communi-ty-based rehabilitation centres, the alloca-tion of sufficient beds and resources to psy-chiatric and other health care facilities andensuring medical staff have basic trainingin and understanding of mental health. It al-so entails ensuring that patients participatein treatment plans and policy implementa-tion.“Although South Africa has legislation in

place to ensure the protection of the rightsof people with psychiatric and intellectualdisabilities, it is our ongoing responsibilityto ensure that this legislation is implement-ed so that all SouthAfricans are treatedwithdignity and respect,” she says.Michael Hattingh, amember of CapeMen-

tal Health’s psychosocial rehabilitation pro-gramme, called Fountain House, says: “Weshould always remember that in order to re-store dignity, all people living with amentalillness have a voice and should be heard.“I am not defined by my mental illness.”

Healthcare should uphold dignity

An elderly woman was pushed to theground by a would-be car thief in

Wynberg.Warrant Officer Silvino Davids,

spokesperson of Wynberg police station,says the woman was in her driveway inTroop Road on Thursday 29 Septemberat about 20:10, standing behind her car,when she felt someone push her from be-hind and she fell on the ground.“She screamed and her son came out

of their home. The suspect pointed a fire-arm at him and shot at him,” Davidssays.The suspect then got into the car and

attempted to start the car, but the caralarm went off and he jumped out andfled the scene on foot.Davids says the woman and her son

were unharmed and police are investi-gating the incident..Meanwhile, a house break-in occurredin Herschel Road on Saturday eveninglast week.

A family left their home with all doorsand windows locked and the alarm set.“Later in the evening, one of the resi-

dents and her boyfriend returned homeand discovered the house had been bro-ken into, as various items were miss-ing,” he says.Davids says the suspect broke a win-

dow in the main bedroom to gain entry.. In a separate incident a car’s batterywas stolen from inside a locked garagein Kenilworth.. Meanwhile, a man was robbed of hiscellphone in Station Road on Friday 30September at about 18:00.Davids says the man was approached

by anothermanwho asked him for direc-tions.“After the suspect asked the victim for

directions he asked for his cellphone andthreatened him by telling him he had aknife on him, but he did not show it,” hesays.The victim handed over his cellphone.

The robber took out the SIM card andgave it back to the victim before he fledthe scene.

A security guard was tied up and gaggedwhile three men robbed the constructionsite at BP garage in Plumstead.Warrant officer Keith Chandler, spokes-

person of Diep River police station, says awhite bakkie pulled up to the premises onThursday 1 October at 17:15 and three men,all wearing overalls, asked to see the logsheets.“When the guard turned to open the con-

tainer he was overpowered by his three at-tackers, who tied him up with tape and ca-ble ties,” Chandler says.The robbers stole generators, compactors

and other power tools.The guard, who was unhurt, was discov-

ered more than an hour later and freed.No weapons were used.Anyone with information can contact

Mall thief strikes again to take women’s shoppingASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Shoppers are warned to be vigilant as thefestive season comes closer. Several

more cases have been reported of womenwho were conned and their belongings sto-len.People’s Post previously reported that the

Wynberg police has seen over 10 cases inwhich women have been conned into “buy-ing clothes” at half price only to have theirbelongings stolen (“Watch out for ‘friendlyshop helper’”, 26 May).Warrant Officer Silvino Davids, spokes-

person ofWynberg police station, says therehave been more incidents recently. “All

shoppers – not only women – need to be vigi-lant at all times, as this could happen to any-one. We urge shoppers to never let their per-sonal items out of their sight,” Davids says.Severalwomenhave been duped into leav-

ing their belongings with strangers underfalse promises of buying items at severalclothing stores at discount prices.Davids says a group of women have been

targeting shoppers in a mall in Wynberg.“Many of the victims were approached in

one specific store in the mall,” he says.The suspect somehow convinces the vic-

tim that she is a store employee and can getthe victim “whatever they want for half theprice”.“The suspect then tells the victim if they

are interested to meet with them outside themall, where about three to four other ‘inter-ested buyers’ are waiting,” he says.The con artist explains that they can only

go back into the store with one “interestedbuyer” at a time and then asks the womengathered to leave all their belongings, in-cluding their handbags, cellphones, pursesand even their shopping bags, with the other“interested buyers” who are waiting fortheir turn. The suspect first takes one of heraccomplices back to the store. This womanreturns with clothing she says has been pur-chased from the store. “This, however, is on-ly a way to make the victim trust that thesuspect is the real deal,” he says.What happens next is that the victim

leaves all her belongings, goes back to theclothing store with the suspect and is toldto pick out what she wants. She is told to goback outside themall to where the other “in-terested buyers” are and wait there.However, the victim realises as soon as

she gets outside the mall to the “waiting ar-ea” that the other three or four “interestedbuyers” are missing – with her belongings.“This is a well thought out scam and the

victims are easily lured into purchasingitems at a discount price,” he says.Davids urges shoppers to be careful and

not fall for scams like this one. “If anyonehas any information on the suspects or hasbeen approached in this manner please re-port it to the police,” he says.

HOUT BAY

Club mentors young ridersThe Hout Bay Cycling Club has receivednew, much-needed cycling kit.The kit was donated by EvoTec Plastics,

aSouthAfricancompanyspecialising in theproduction of precision plastic parts andcomponents.IainMcIntosh, club chairperson, says the

timing of the donation couldn’t bemore per-

fect, as they are entering a new road cyclingseason with a number of newer members.“The committee I represent and our

young riders have been very much lookingforward to the arrival of the new kit. Wehope this will mark a thriving new partner-ship between us and EvoTec Plastics. Wegreatly appreciate their contribution.”

Managed by a volunteer committee offive experienced cyclists, the club uses cy-cling to expose young riders to life outsidetheir often difficult living circumstances.Theyoung riders are drawn from the Imi-

zamo Yethu and Hangberg communities.They are fitted with road bikes and cy-

cling kits, then get taken on three trainingrides per week.The club also enters them in road cycling

races and fun rides ona regular basis; it hasseen a number of them grow into verystrong cyclists over the years.In addition to ongoing mentoring offered

by individual committee members, theclub also employs specialists to offer coach-ing to the riders.Many of them come from single-parent

families, oftenwithabject povertyanddiffi-cult living conditions at home. They there-fore often lack the necessary educationaland social mentoring required to enablethem to lead balanced lives while compet-ing on an equal level with their peers atschool.Gernot Liebentritt, managing director of

the company which donated the kit, haspraised the club for the work done with theyoung riders.“In these days when so much more re-

mains to be done in order to give hope toyoung South Africans, it always touchesmy heart to see people volunteering theirtime and, in many cases, personal resour-ces to make a difference in the lives of oth-ers,” he says.Liebentritt further says they all know

how “tough life often is inmany townships,especially in Imizamo Yethu andHangbergwhich are located in such close proximityto Hout Bay opulence”.“As a cyclist myself, I saw the club as a

natural recipient and potential social de-velopment partner for EvoTec. This is thebeginning of a journey that I am sure willenable us to watch these young riders growinto stronger cyclists and better citizens ofour country,” he says.

Don’t dump just because others doASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Concerns about illegal dumpinghas a res-ident calling on other residents to re-

spect public spaces andnot to use construc-tion sites to dump unwanted items.

Richard Sissons, a Kreupelbosch resi-dent, says he has been monitoring the rub-ble at several properties in the area andfound that at one property someone haddropped off his waste next to the construc-tion bin outside the property a couple ofweeks ago.

“I am concerned about this behaviour asproperty owners try their best to ensuretheykeep thearea cleanand inorderwherethe construction equipment or materials

are kept,” he says.Despite the fact that the dumped waste

was removed, Sissons still wants to ensurethat residents are made aware of it.

He says the dumping might be due to theclosure of the Ladies Mile drop-off site,since people now find it more convenientto throw their rubbish away at propertieswhere there is rubble outside.People’s Post previously reported that

the City council was taking several stepsto ensure the Retreat drop-off facility in10th Avenue was ready for the influx oftraffic after the closure of the Ladies Miledrop-off facility (“Rubbish dump readiedfor rush”, 29 September).

The City of Cape Town advised that thefacility would close permanently at the end

of September. This is to make way for a suc-cessful land restitution claim, and the landis to be handed to the regional land claimscommissioner.

Official drop-off sitesResidents can make use of the Retreat,

Wynberg or Hout Bay drop-off facilities orthe Coastal Park landfill site in Zeekoeivlei.

Sissons believes the closure of the facilityhas led to this unwanted behaviour. He iscalling on all residents to report anyonedumping his rubbish on another’s propertyor in an open space.

“I would also like to raise my concernswith regard to anyone paying someone to

drop off their unwanted items, especially ifthe person is not from a reputable company.There have been incidents where the rub-bish was just dumped in open spaces,” hesays.

Sissons adds that homeless people are alsogiven residents’ unwanted items or collectrubbish from bins. Their throwaway itemsare then dumped in open fields. This, he be-lieves, also attracts people to dumping.

“I understand that people want to give tothe homeless, but they are urged to give re-sponsibility. We need to keep our communi-ty clean.

“If your property looks like a tip, it willbecome a tip,” he says.

Richard Sissons shows some of the rubbish collected by homeless people, which is left on anopen piece of land in the Kreupelbosch area. PHOTO: ASTRID FEBRUARIE

Direct claimant EdwinaMakgamatha is a survivor of ahit-and-run accident that nearlyclaimed her life and left herpartner seriously injured. To thisday, the driver who caused thehorrific accident five years ago onthe notorious Mabopane Highwayoutside Pretoria, resulting inthe car rolling several times, isunknown.

She doesmotivational talks, visits rehab centres,supplies medical consumables, and is evenestablishing a driving school for disabledpeople!

“The RAF has not only given me supportduring a hectic period but has alsoassisted me to establish my business,” shesaid. “When I was young, I wanted to bea nurse, and I feel what I’m doing nowis the closest thing to achieving mydream.”

From the beginning of this month the buri-al hours at Maitland, Welmoed and Khaye-litsha cemeteries have been extended onSaturdays and Sundays.This is being done for a trial period of six

months.The purpose of the extension is to accom-

modate more burials over the weekend, toprovide amore dignified service in the bus-iest cemeteries and to avoid congestion be-tween noon and 14:00.The extended hours will be on Saturdays

from 08:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays fromnoon to 15:00.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, says about 1000 burials amonth take place in Cape Town cemeteries.Saturday is the much preferred day for

funerals at the City’s cemeteries.“We want our cemeteries to be quiet and

dignified spaces where people can congre-gate to bury and mourn their loved ones.But with so many funerals taking place onthe same day, this is no easy task. I believethat the extension of the burial bookinghours on Saturdays at our three largestcemeteries will go a long way towards ad-dressing this challenge,” says Walker.Sunday morning burials for specific de-

nominations will still apply.

SOUTHFIELD

Patrols look after neighboursASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

“Be the eyes and the ears of your neigh-bourhood watch.”

Through this message Southfield Neigh-bourhood Watch members want to encour-age residents to join the organisation to helpmake the community a safer place.

Last week the watch, in partnership withthree other neighbourhood watches andDiep River police, set out on a patrol in theearly hours of the morning. People’s Postjoined the watch on the patrol.

About 20 to 25 residents and police mem-bers gathered at the police station beforethey started their patrol.

Freddie Daniels, vice-chairperson of theSouthfield Neighbourhood Watch, sayswhen out on patrol their aim is to deter crim-inals in the community.

“Our aim is to ensure that we keep ourcommunity safe and deter any criminal ac-tivity. We need to be proactive if we want tomake a difference here,” he says.

During the patrol they regularly urge resi-dents to join the neighbourhood watch. Be-ing a neighbourhood watch member doesnot mean that you have to patrol as there aremany other roles to play, they say.

“An active member can be someone walk-ing their dogs to the park. If they see some-thing suspicious they can report it to thewatch or police.

“Even sitting at home in the garden orwatching through the window can be as pro-active as someone going out on a patrol,” hesays.

There are many elderly people in theneighbourhood, Daniels says, who need tobe taken into consideration.

“We cannot expect the elderly to patrollike we do and therefore urge residents tolook out for them,” he says.

In driving around on the patrol the watchmembers check the parks, canals, openfields and the train station.

“We also check if people have left theirgates and garages open. If it is we stop andknock on their door and alert them to therisk it may be to have their property open,”

he says.Daniels adds that the train station is one

of their biggest headaches as there havebeen many reports of people getting robbedthere in the early hours of the morning.

“Here are many people who rely on publictransport, like the trains, and they have nochoice but to walk to the station and wait forthe trains. It is unfair that they fall victimto robbery or any other crime here,” he says.

Daniels says they patrol the station areaon every patrol during the hours people areexpected to be at the station, to look out fortheir safety.

“We need to be the eyes and the ears forour neighbours too; not only for their safetybut for ours too,” he says.

‘Reason to Celebrate’ Gelmar Turns 80

X1QN1BR6-QK131015

Bennie Bunsee, a political commentatorand journalist and former executive

member of the Wynberg Residents and Rate-payers’ Association died on Saturday.

Bunsee would have celebrated his 80thbirthday on 22 October.

Resident Darron Arouja says Bunseemade Wynberg his home when he returnedfrom exile under apartheid, and lived inProspect Hill Road.

Bunsee had open-heart surgery only ashort while ago, but was readmitted to hos-pital with post-surgery complications.

Raised in Chesterville, Durban, Bunseewas a struggle veteran. As a teenager hetaught himself to type so as to follow hisdream of a career in journalism, focusing es-pecially on politics.

Bunsee served on the first Wynberg Resi-dents and Ratepayers’ Association (WRRA)executive committee, having regularly at-tended public meetings to assist with the

formation of the Association. Bunsee wasparticularly outspoken against crime inWynberg and was a member of the WRRA’sfirst community safety subcommittee.

He regularly attended public meetingsconvened by the WRRA, and openly voicedhis support for the Association against the“controversial” BRT route.

Bunsee attended the first candlelight vigilheld by the SRFA against the BRT route inFebruary, and walked the route of the evic-tions, before he and others addressed thegathering.

He is survived by his nephew Michael,who moved to Cape Town to assist Bunseeover the period of his illness. He is furthersurvived by family in Durban and in Man-chester, England.

A thorough, dignified gentleman, he wasa special friend to his neighbours inProspect Hill and Mountain View roads andwill be very much missed.

On Saturday facilities around the world, in-cluding the Two Oceans Aquarium, will becelebrating African Penguin AwarenessDay.

The endangered African penguin is foundonly along the Southern African coastline.

A number of activities will take place atthe Aquarium on the day to celebrate.

A mini Penguin Waterfront Waddle willkick things off. This year, the 2.5km routewill amble through the Waterfront, startingand finishing at the Aquarium. All partici-pants are encouraged to wear black andwhite in support of the penguins and to jointhe festivities from 08:30 for complimentarybeverages. The waddle will start at 09:00.Waddlers are also encouraged to bring their

own water, as bottled water is not encour-aged. Samantha, the Aquarium’s penguinmascot, will make an appearance and mem-bers of the Aquarium will have the opportu-nity to see the movie City slickers – A taleof two African penguins.

The African penguin is endemic to South-ern Africa and the only penguin speciesfound on the continent. They are only foundfrom the Namibian coast in the west, to Al-goa Bay in the east. These charismatic,flightless birds are classified as endangeredaccording to the IUCN Red List of Threaten-ed Species. It is estimated that, at the turnof the century, the African penguin popula-tion numbered approximately 1.5m.

These enigmatic birds face extinction in

the wild as their numbers continue to de-cline dramatically, with just over 18 000breeding pairs left in South Africa.

Loss of food source due to overfishing, cli-mate change and habitat destruction arejust some of the factors taking their toll.

African penguins feed mainly on small,shoaling fish like pilchards and anchovies.This puts them in direct competition withhumans. Studies have found that Africanpenguins have to travel further and furtheraway from their colonies in search of food.This is detrimental to penguin chicks asthey rely on their parents for food.V For more information about the celebrations of Afri-can Penguin Day at the Two Oceans Aquarium visitwww.aquarium.co.za.

L’Etape du Tour, one of the mostbeautiful and toughest races rid-den over a stage of the Tour deFrance. RideLondon, the world’s largestfestival of cycling with more than95 000 riders on traffic-free roads inLondon and Surrey. Granfondo Campagnolo Roma, a

unique cycling experience inRomeWACE has been formed to pro-

mote and increase cycling world-wide. With more than 200 000 par-ticipants from 90 countries ridinginWACEevents eachyear, thenew

organisation should inspire newriders to take up the challenge ofcycling and to encourage riders totravel to participate in otherworld-class cycling events.“It is a very exciting time for cy-

cling with such rapid growth in in-terest and participation,” saidHugh Brasher, president of WACEandevent director forRideLondon.More major international cy-

cling events are set to join WACE

and the association is planning thecreation of the “WACE challenge”with awards to riders who takepart in multiple WACE eventsaround the world.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour is

extremely excited and proud to beassociated with the founding ofWACE,” said David Bellairs, di-rector of the Cape Town CycleTour.“It is indeed an honour to be as-

sociated with this grouping of theworld’s most prestigiousmass par-ticipation cycling events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour has

the promotion of cycling at its coreand the raising of money for chari-ty as key drivers, while at the sametime promoting Cape Town as adestination for cyclists across theglobe.“Working with the amazing

group of events will certainly as-sist us in achieving our aims. Be-ing able to share ideas and know-ledge with event organisers global-ly can only lead to betterexperiences for those participat-ing. It is wonderful that as a resultof the international reach ofWACE, more cyclists from all overthe world will now get to learnabout and discover other events incountries from as far afield asSouth Africa.”

JOSEPH PILLAY

A sizzling volley, 25 yards from goal by de-fender Lwandile Soboyise lifted Young Idolsto itsmaidenCoca-ColaCup crownonSatur-day.TheManenberg outfit waswrapped in glo-

ry after thrilling soccer as they saw off anequally determined Milan United 2-1 in theSafa Cape Town knockout competition.The competition is modelled after the

iconic English FA Cup, attracting 532 ama-teur teams throughout the region.Young Idols’ ability to show off its prow-

ess, in which the team members dished upsome silky moves, probably signified theirhunger andwillingness to produce the goodsto walk away as champions.Milano United was not completely out of

it, but the team was not as effective as itsYoung Idols counterpart, playing good soc-cer, but in thewrongareas.Wheneventuallygiven the opportunity to score twice throughstriker Fawaaz Basadien, they failed to con-vert their chances into goals.That squared chances in which their

coach Desmond Crowie shook his head.The boys in the white and green shirts

were spurred on by the brass band from the

Manenberg community. Like a 12th man,the band lifted the players. The moment ofmagic arrived in the 73rd minute whenLwandile Soboyise put up his hand, whizzedpast the first two defenders before turninghis body in and out of the next fourmarkers.He then unleashed from 25m a volley.That turned out to be the decisive match-

winner that had theR35000 prize and the tro-phy engraved in Young Idols’ name on a ped-estal.While Crowie and his Milano players still

earned R20 000.
