@ChevonBooysen

A 34-year-old man was mauledtodeath lastweekby twodogsduring a suspected burglary

at a home in Lotus River.A graphic video that went viral

on social media shows the allegedburglar being bitten by two dogswhile bystanders try to divert thedogs’ attention by throwing bricksand stones.Warrant Officer Wynita Klein-

smith, Grassy Park police spokes-person, says: “An inquest docketwas opened at Woodstock policestation after a man of Lotus River

died in hospital after he was bittenby dogs on premises in Lotus Riv-er.What we can confirm is that theman does not stay on the premiseswhere the dogs attacked him. Hewas still alive when he was trans-ported to hospital.”The incident occurred last Mon-

day at about 15:30, Kleinsmithsays.“We are awaiting the docket

from Woodstock police thereafterit will be investigated by GrassyPark police as an inquest. One ofthe dogs was shot on the scene bypolice to protect and assist themanwho was bitten by the dogs,” shesays.

In the video a bystander can beheard saying “because he wants tosteal here so the dogs catchedhim”.

During the eight-minute videothe man is bitten by the dogs untilshots are fired.People have displayed outrage

on social media, saying “the dogswere protecting their property.The man got what he deserved.”Someone else wrote: “I have no

sympathy for the man! The dogswere protecting their yard and onegot killed for doing so, which isvery upsetting.”Philip Bam, spokesperson of the

local community police forum,says the incident is unfortunate.“We do regret the loss of life and

send our condolences to the familyand loved ones of the man who

Local science orgwins overseasGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

A project that integrates the pursuit of sci-entific knowledge with social develop-

ment for and with those most in need haswon a major international award overseas.This year’s EdinburghMedal will be joint-

ly awarded tomorrow to Kevin Govenderfrom theCapeTown-basedOffice ofAstrono-my for Development and the InternationalAstronomical Union (IAU).The ceremony, in recognition of their

wide reaching contributions to science, willbe taking place at this year’s Edinburgh In-ternational Science Festival.At a farewell functionhosted at theBritish

consulate in Bishopscourt Consul-GeneralEdward Roman congratulated Govender,pointing out that it was the first time in itshistory that this award is bestowed upon aSouth African.“It is awarded jointly for the creation and

practical establishment of the IAU Office ofAstronomy for Development, which inte-grates the pursuit of scientific knowledgewith social development for and with thosemost in need,” he said.The office, launched in 2011 byNaledi Pan-

dor, national Minister of Science and Tech-nology, is hosted at the South African Astro-nomical Observatory in Observatory inpartnership with the National ResearchFoundation and the Department of Scienceand Technology.Govender is its first director. Under him

the Office of Astronomy for Developmenthas successfully harnessed astronomy inthe service of global education and capacitybuilding.The Edinburgh Medal is a prestigious

award given each year to men and women

of science and technology whose profession-al achievements are judged to have made asignificant contribution to the understand-ing and well-being of humanity.Govender and Silvia Torres Peimbert,

president of the IAU, will be presented withthe EdinburghMedal at the Chambers of theCity of Edinburgh Council.Donald Wilson, Lord Provost of the City

of Edinburgh Council, commented that thedifference that Govender and the IAU havemade in developing countries is astronomi-cal.“Govender has been leading the Office of

Astronomy for Development since 2011 andhas overseen the expansion from its roots inCape Town to be extended to a further nineregional offices in Armenia, China, Colom-bia, Ethiopia, Jordan, Nigeria, Portugal,Thailand and Zambia.“The IAU strategy to use astronomy to

stimulate global development is inspiring; itdemonstrates how science, technology andculture impact our everyday lives and howwe can use science to improve communi-ties.”At the farewell Govender was quick to

point out that the award was thanks to anamazing team that worked with him on theproject.“Besides its technological, scientific and

cultural contributions, astronomy funda-mentally gives us the perspective we needto change the world, and it is amazing to seehow this vision has rallied people and orga-nisations from just about every continent,”he said.“It hasbeen, andcontinues tobe, a journey

driven by many with a shared passion forboth science and society.”V For more information about the International Astro­nomical Union visit www.iau.org.

@gvdcapejazz

Students at Varsity College in Rondeb-osch are proving that caring for their com-munity is part of college life at the cam-pus.Last week the students hosted some

youngsters from Saint Anne’s Home inWoodstock, theMarshMemorial Home inRondebosch and Heaven’s Nest in Otteryfor a fun day of Easter activities that in-cluded an Easter egg hunt.Daniella Hayman, spokesperson and

events coordinator, explained that thiswas an annual event that was part of thecollege community engagement calender.“This event is a combined initiative be-

tween the student body and VC Cares,”

she said.“The purpose of VC Cares is to create

awareness and involve the wider studentbody in community projects with the aimof helping those less fortunate. The mainfocus is on social responsibility and em-powerment.“We work together to identify local

charities and communities that will bene-fit from organised projects and fundrais-ing activities.”On arrival, the children were treated to

a Nal’ibali storytelling session, followedby cupcakes and craft activities organisedby students and the VC Cares committee.This was followed by the children being

partnered with a student who helpedthem during the hunt in which they hadto perform tasks to collect eggs.

make ends meet, it has become a pillar ofstrength for him because life knocked himdown several times but he was able to standup again.Abandoned at a crèche in Johannesburg

byhis fatherwhenhewas only threemonthsold he was raised by an elderly woman untilshe died and he was kicked out by her chil-dren. He dropped out of school while inGrade 9. He moved to Cape Town and now

stays at the Haven night shelter in 10th Ave-nue in Retreat.“It’s better, because I have a place to hide

my head, but it’s difficult,” he says.He started projects to keep him going but

it wasn’t awalk in the park. He started a car-washing business and sells his art blocks inMuizenberg and the surrounding areas. Healso cleans windows and other things.He is trying to save money for better ac-

commodation and to pay for a web develop-ment course.“I’m trying to savemoney so that I can fin-

ish my course and make something out ofmy life. Things have been tough for me, butwhen I look at where I came from andwhereI am now I can only be hopeful,” he says.V Readers who want to help Mokobi can call him on071 814 1993.

exposing the man’s activities onWhatsApp groups, they still needto get the word out tomore unsus-pecting residents.Vallabh says the man goes by

several ali-ases andthat he livesbehind theVygieskraalvlei.“He fre-

quents Sur-rey Estate,Greenhav-en, PenlynEstate, Ry-lands, Gatesville and those type ofareas at themoment. He is intimi-dating as such as he is crookingthe people.“If we see him around, we im-

mediately ask him to leave the ar-ea because he is not welcome.“We can’t actually tell what he

will do if he has a chance to dosomething inside the home. Thepolice are also aware of him, butnobody has laid a case againsthim, so the police can’t actually

do somethingand investi-gate him,” headds.Vallabh al-

A fraudster is making his waythrough Greenhaven, Surrey

Estate, Gatesville, Rylands andsurrounding areas.According to Umesh Vallabh of

Greenhaven Crime Watch, theman, who goes by the name ofRushaad, tells unsuspecting resi-dents, especially elderly resi-dents, sob stories about his termi-nally illwife or children.He preyson people to give him groceriesand money.“He is well-dressed and well-

spoken, so it is easy to fall for histactics. He was reported to havebeen inside homes, so it justshows how convincing he can be.“If he is spotted please report

him to your closest neighbour-hood watch,” Vallabh urges.He says that despite residents

tor to take up a complaint of thatnature.“There isno such thingas a ‘con

man’. It is either a fraud case ora theft with diversion case, butthere are avenues the public canfollow to prosecute these people.They really need to lay criminalcharges and they need to trust thepolice.“The long armof the law is long,

but it is also patient, so you needto build a case,” he says.He adds that no matter how

long ago any incident occurred, acriminal case would remain validfor many years.“Depending on the circumstan-

ces, any case can be picked up atany given point in time. There arepeople who after 20 or 30 years re-alised that this person violatedme, especially in sexual assaultcases.“And then there aremanywom-

en who have come forward whowere violated in their teens.“A case is never invalid, unless

you come forward and enquireabout it,” he adds.He urges community members

to come forward early instead, sothat they can stop crime before itis repeated.“The longer they take to come

forward, the more difficult it be-comes to stop this person, becausethen they become brazen and ar-rogant, because they think theyare getting away with it.“We encourage the community

to take the police into their confi-dence to report the activities if itis criminal.“No case is of lesser importance

than the next and each case willget the attention that it deserves.”V Anyone can report criminal activity tothe Manenberg police on 021 699 9400or CrimeStop on 0860 010 111.

Gatesville’s illegal structuresin roadway still on the tableCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

The ongoing issue of illegally built struc-tures in the roadway inGatesville is still re-ceiving attention and engagement.The issue, whichwas initially brought up

at a subcouncil meeting last year, has beenon the Athlone subcouncil agenda undermatters receiving attention ever since(“Structures cause for concern”, People’sPost, 30 June 2015).Councillor Magedien Davids has since

talked with various roleplayers, includingthe formal and informal traders, to addressthe issue.At a recent meeting, subcouncil manager

Edgar Carolissen said they had been en-gaged in meetings discussing the best wayforward regarding the structures in Gates-

ville.“There is a long history to this issue and

all this has been taken into consideration.We are currently looking at realistic op-tions for the traders.“We do realise that the informal economy

is an important economy,” Carolissen said.He added that after meeting with other

stakeholders, they had discussed a few solu-tions.“Three options currently exist for the

space. Regularisation and sanitisation, re-location or removal were options that werediscussed so far,” Carolissen said.A second round of discussions will be

held with stakeholders on Thursday 14April.“We are working on a collective input so

that a solution can be reached in regard tothis matter,” he said.

ing cluster is a gang-ridden area and that ba-sic human rights are violated daily in the ar-ea.“This has become a norm and has affected

the policing in the area, in the execution ofour daily operations, combating gang vio-lence and domestic abuse, which stems fromso many social ills within the community.We are still focused on combatting criminal

activity while still having empathy whenshowing zero tolerance,” said Bennett.Following operations executed by officers

of various police stations, 259F alcohol wasconfiscated, while 35 units of heroin, 263units of tik, 125g mandrax tablets as well as544 sticks of dagga were seized.Three firearms were also confiscated.“We call on the community to be actively

involved in crime prevention by reportingall criminal activity and all illegal firearmand ammunition possession,” added Ben-nett.There were 104 reports of crime against

womenandchildren,with 29people arrestedin connection with these crimes.“We encourage the most vulnerable peo-

ple, women, children and senior citizens,who are victims of crime to come forwardand seek support in order to stop the scourgeof abuse,” stated Bennett.During 17 tracing operations, 134 wanted

people were arrested for outstanding cases.V Anyone with information of criminal activity can callCrimeStop on 0860 010 111 or the emergency call cen­tre on 10111.

@nickymccain

In an attempt to reduce waste dumped inlandfills, the City of Cape Town council isembarking on a project to encourage resi-dents to make compost at home.The City will make 5 000 home-compost-

ing containers available for free to qualify-ing homeowners.The distribution follows a research

project carried out at over 600 homes inHeathfield, Edgemead, Bongweni andScottsville in 2013 and 2014.The project, which also included commu-

nity centres in Kensington, Atlantis andKhayelitsha, showed a 91% participationrate. On average 17kg of household wasteand 13kg of waste were diverted at commu-nity organisations every month.The study found that almost all of the par-

ticipants had previously thrown their or-ganic waste away, but after the study three-quarters of themwere composting at home.Residents can apply and will be placed on

a waiting list. The homeowner will have tohave a secure garden with at least 1m² andaminimumof 30m² of greenery. Only singleresidences will be considered.The project will be launched next month.

years now, originally performing as a tightbacking band for the likes of Emo and Louk-maan Adams, Lloyd Cele, Judith Sephumaand Danny K. But once they started backingJonathan Butler they decided to start work-ing on their own original material.“We realisedwehadanopportunity to per-

form anywhere in the world with the band,”Camillo says, adding: “His smooth South Af-rican sound kind of led us into a directionas well.”

Between working as the principal of theCapeMusic Institute, Camillo is a sought aft-er accompanist for legends like JimmyDlud-lu. Don Vino rates his work on Kirk Wha-lum’s album Gospel according to Jazz Chap-ter 4 as one of the highlights of his career.Drumming lecturer by day, Mornay has

similarly workedwith big local and interna-tional names, ranging fromJudith Sephumato Chevelle Franklin. With more than 16 in-ternational tours under his belt, Mark’sskills have seen him play in 14 differentcountries. Charlton was chosen as a mentoralongside big names like Frank Paco for lastyear’s Artscape Youth Jazz Festival.The band has been hard at work on their

debut album and Griqua DNA will be out intime for the jazz festival. Mornay describesit as a “mostly instrumental fusion album”with elements of genres from ghoema tofunk and even a little gospel.Their completely independent album also

features performances by Jonathan Butlerand Marrion Meadows.TopDog will play on the Basil Manenberg

Coetzee stage at the Cape Town Internation-al Jazz Festival this weekend.They will also be performing at the festi-

val’s free concert at Greenmarket Square onWednesday.V For more information about TopDog SA, their showsand upcoming album, visit their Facebook page. Formore information about this weekend’s Cape Town In­ternational Jazz Festival, visit www.capetownjazz­fest.com.

Vido’s not allowedto stay open laterEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

An application to extend the tradinghours of Vido’s Liquor Store from 18:00

to 20:00 has been rejected.The decision comes after a recommenda-

tion was made by City of Cape Town offi-cials to subcouncil 11, which serves the areain which Vido’s Liquor Store is found.

“The Tambo Village [site] was visited bythe subcouncil and it was said that the coun-cillor (Siyabonga Mamkeli) visited theplace along with the subcouncil chairper-son (Mzuvukile Nikelo).

“Basically the subcouncil then went withthe recommendation from the officials andthe application was not approved in view ofthe report of criminal activity within thatparticular precinct,” says Anthony Moses,ward councillor for ward 44.

The application stated that the request

was made in the interest of the public andto be beneficial to the surrounding commu-nity, because extended hours for alcoholsales meant that residents would not haveto resort to buying alcohol illegally after Vi-do’s closes for business.

The application also mentioned that Vi-do’s had traded until 20:00 in the past with-out any major incidents of public nuisanceor disturbances.

But after his assessing the premises,Mamkeli said there were already a numberof outlets clustered in the area already sell-ing alcohol during those times and that“due to the social ills, gang violence andhealth of the people in the area” the applica-tion was refused.

“The place will still operate in its normalhours. The major problem is the social im-pact that it has on the community, becauseit is found within a residential area,” reiter-ates Moses.

“Research has shown that in-creased seat belt compliance willmean thousands of lives saved,that would have otherwise beenlost, in the horrific crashes thatplague our roads,” says DonaldGrant, provincial minister fortransport and public works.

In a statement last week he em-phasised the fact that car occu-pants – drivers and passengers –continue to be themajority of roaddeaths in the Western Cape.

In response to the neglect of theseat belt rule, Safely Homelaunched the “first kiss”multime-dia campaign this month.

“Research and statistics haveshown that failure to use a seatbelt is a certain route to death orserious injury during collisions.Whena car crash occurs, the occu-pants who are not restrained con-tinue to move forward at the samespeed at which the car was travel-ling before the collision. They arecatapulted forward into the struc-ture of the car, into other occu-pants or hurled from the car to al-most certain death,” says Grant.

The campaign consists of a se-ries of radio advertisements, bill-boards and cinema ad bumpers atmajor cinemas and is live onlineon Facebook and Twitter.

It is anchored by the “FirstKiss” television commercial,which was first aired on SABC1during the screening of an episodeof Generations on Friday 18March. It will air on all threeSABC channels as well as e.tv,

kykNET and CTV, and can beviewed at https://safely-home.westerncape.gov.za/.

The commercial is adaptedfrom the “Damage” ad producedby Northern Ireland’s govern-ment.

Grant says this advertisementwas credited by the Irish RoadSafety Authority as havingbrought about a doubling in backseat seat belt wearing and a 50%increase in front seat wearingrates in Ireland and Northern Ire-land.

The “First Kiss” commercialhas been localised to reflect West-ern Cape and South African cir-cumstances, and the focus hasbeen shifted from the crash to thepeople involved. The shoot tookplace over two days in studio andon location in Woodstock and theBo-Kaap. Local companies provid-ed all services. Real traffic offi-cers, forensic pathology techni-cians, emergency medical techni-cians and firemen took part in themaking of the advertisement.

He adds: “Not wearing a seatbelt is against the law. It is also ex-tremely dangerous, not just foryou, but for other people in thecar. Unbuckled passengers be-comewreckingballs in a collision,killing and severely injuring oth-ers, even passengers who havebuckled up. We can all be a partof the change that will make ourroads safer, and make the life-sav-ing decision to buckle up whenev-er we are inside a car.”

City officers letbarking dogs lie?DESIREE RORKE

@dezzierorke

Although the animal bylaw inrespect of barking dogs is

frowned upon by many residentsas nonsensical, the City of CapeTown is adamant that this bylawcan and is still enforced in a verypractical sense.People’s Post regularly receives

complaints from readers abouttheir rowdy neigbourhood dogs,coupled with the City’s inabilityto enforce the bylaw.

In most cases it so happens thatthe nuisance dog, after being re-ported to Law Enforcement, willbe considerably quieter whenCity officers arrive on the prem-ises, making it impossible forthem to take lawful actionagainst the dog owner. The caseis subsequently closed, until an-other is opened.

In terms of the bylaw no dog isallowed to bark for more thanthree minutes in half an hour orfor more than six minutes in anhour.

But how do you prove this?As is the case in any other legal

matter, sufficient evidence isneeded to prosecute in themunic-ipal courts.

In this instance, a complete“barking monitoring schedule”,as well as audio-visual material,would be needed, according to JPSmith, Mayco member of safetyand security.

Smith says just because manyof the complaints reported can-not be corroborated by the inves-tigating officers who have tomonitor the dogs at the identifiedlocations, it doesnotmean the by-law is not being contravened.

“Obviously the officers cannotmonitor the location on a 24-hourbasis,” he says.

“Enforcement action willtherefore involve an initial com-pliance notice directing the dogowner to remedy the situation. Inthe event of non-compliance thiswill be followed, inmost cases, bythe compilation of a docket con-taining the complainant’s affida-vit, which includes a barkingmonitoring schedule andwhatev-er audio-visual evidence is avail-able, so that the dog owner can besummoned to court on the prose-cutor’s instruction,” he says.

However, he doesn’t clarifyhow this would be done in the ab-sence of officers to constantlymonitor the premises.

The officer, he says, may alsoopt to issue a written notice to ap-pear in court with the option ofpaying an admission of guilt fine.

Impounding“In the meantime, and particu-

larly when the officer has also es-tablished that there is indeed acontravention in terms of thebarking provision, which theowner has not remedied orwheretheyhave failed to ensure compli-

ance, the dogsmay be impoundedand the matter dealt with interms of the animal bylaw,” saysSmith.

“This process will run parallelto the one of summons and prose-cution.”

However, according to asource, the lack of manpower inLaw Enforcement in actual factdoesn’t afford officers the timeneeded for compiling such dock-ets.

In extreme cases, says thissource, an admission of guilt finewould be issued to a repeat “of-fender”, who would then pay itand be on his way, often leavingthe cause of the problem unre-solved.

“In other cases, dog owners docomply with notices to try andfind out why their dogs bark andtake action, but they often workfull days and simply have no con-trol of their dogs’ barking habitsduring the day,” says this source.

The issue evidently posing sev-eral challenges, People’s Postasked Smith whether it reallymade sense touse theCity’s limit-ed manpower on such cases andwhether theCityhashadany suc-cessful court appearances in thisregard.

No specific answer was forth-coming from Smith, however.

The City also did not respondtowhether it is looking into othermore practical solutions, whichmight see this bylaw amended.

PENNED BY A JOURNO

You don’tdrive aloneI have been a licenced driver for a fewyearsnow and because of my job, how far awayfrom civilisation I live and the lifestyle Ilead, I spend much of my life behind thewheel.In a bid to drive the fastest, nicest, coolest

or flashiest car we can afford, drivers thesedays seem to forget howmuchof a responsi-bility it is to be in control of a vehicle.In a rush to get where we need to be, the

common courtesies that need to be shownwhile driving, especially on our nationalroads, are blatantly ignored by some.This morning, on my 44km commute to

the office, my driver-side mirror became acasualty of what can only be referred to asnegligent driving.Driving at 120km/H in the fast lane on

one of our national roads, I was met withthe unwelcome invasion of a work truckwhose driver felt it was okay to cross threelanes straight from the off-ramp.In a bid to avoid an accident that could

have claimed my life (and maybe the truckdriver’s too, seeing as he was not wearinghis seat belt) I swerved onto the shoulder,hitting my mirror on the barrier wall. Thetruck was right next to my car at the time.To many this may not seem like a big

deal, but the other driver refused to ac-knowledge anywrongdoing and flashedmethe almighty middle finger.A quick check of your blindspot before

changing lanes would be appreciated nexttime.It is behaviour like this that really needs

to change. The road is for us all. Not onlyfor those drivers who continue to force oth-ers off the road, who think the safe follow-ing distance is an invitation to changelanes, who drive as if their tyres are not al-lowed to touch the tar and especially thosewho are irresponsible in thinking their ac-tions will not affect others.Robots, stop and yield signs, speed limits

and other road rules are not suggestions.The most dangerous drivers are not only

those who drive drunk, it is especiallythosewho drive for themselves. The realityis when you get behind the wheel, you takethe lives of all the other drivers around youin your hands.Next time you drive, think about your ac-

tions.

Emergency callsaves the dayTwo weeks ago I was reading TygerBur-ger*, which highlighted the N1 and N2emergency assistance number(021 946 1646).

I put the contact into my cellphone,not thinking I would ever need it.

On Sunday 13 March I was on the N2coming from Jan Smuts Drive inAthlone. Driving just past the airport Inoticed my car smoking and the heatgauge going up. I slowed down justabout 500m before the R300 turnoff.

Not a safe area to stop at all, I calledthe emergency number and gave themthe logistics of where I was and toldthem I was all alone (the scariest fiveminutes ever).

Within five minutes a police vanpulled up with two officers who waitedwith me. Then a traffic services cararrived with a female and male officer.

A white patrol van then broughtwater and assisted me. They were kind,helpful and patient and I am utterlygrateful for this service, so a big thankyou to everybody who assisted me.Thank you to the best-run city.

What City, residentsdo with shack firesWith winter on our doorstep and the firstchill felt in the Mother City, we dreadthe devastation and loss of life andproperty suffered by shack dwellers ininformal settlements.

Ongoing education regarding the threatof open fires remains a priority, andsome media reports purport that theblame must be placed on local govern-ment in respect of the cause of shackfires.

The misleading reports cover most ofthe bases, except for explaining thenarrative and implications of informalsettlements on private land.

Legally, the City of Cape Town, provin-cial government or other authorities areprohibited from building electrical orplumbing infrastructure on private landwhere informal settlements have sprungup.

But the City is proactive in supplyingportable toilets to prevent the potentialspread of disease.Another stumbling block, as reported,

is that local informal settlement residentsironically stone firefighters and incurmuch damage to firefighting vehicleswhen arriving to extinguish fires.These brave officials are deployed to

help the very shack dwellers.To alleviate their plight of experiencing

devastating fires, the initiative to usealternative solar energy and photovoltaicinstallations by the community leader-ship of the Siqalo informal settlement inMitchell’s Plain has been welcomed.“God gave us the sun and the wind.

Best that we use them,” as quipped by alocal.

Good things happenFive years ago I was in Grade 11 andneeded funding for a student exchangetrip to Germany. One of your journal-ists wrote an article and told my story.Through the article I received a sponsorwho funded my trip during which I meta German teacher and principal.

Two years later they offered me anopportunity of a lifetime and I had achance to further my studies at anyinstitute of my choice and in any coursehere in Cape Town. They covered allmy travelling costs, medical costs andfees. Today I am a qualified beautytherapist working in Rondebosch.

Thank you so much – if it wasn’t forthat article I don’t know what wouldhave become of me.

Heroes gave us our rightsOn 21 March, South Africans officiallycelebrate Human Rights Day, declared apublic holiday in 1994 following theinauguration of then president NelsonMandela.

Monday’s celebration paid tribute tothose 69 unarmed persons who lost theirlives and the countless injured in theirpursuit to ensure freedom, fairness andopportunities for all South Africans.

The protest was against the pass lawsat the time. The pass law was alsohumiliatingly referred to as the dompasand was a particular indignation forblack men who had to produce it ondemand and could be arrested on the spotif they did not have it on them.

Also referred to as heroes’ day, theevent marked an awakening across theworld to the inhumanity of the apartheid

regime. However, it also meant the startof the end for peaceful protests againstapartheid in South Africa.My appeal to you, the unregistered

voter, the one who enjoys the freedom ofreligion, belief and opinion, freedom ofexpression, freedom of association andthe right to education is to be remindedof those who lost their lives to ensure wehave these rights. In addition to access-ing these rights let all of us be mindful ofthe associated responsibilities.So, don’t say “I don’t need to vote” or

“My voice does not matter” but, rather,as an affected stakeholder, find mediumsto convey your concerns or supportpertaining to issues that affect all SouthAfricans.

Apiece ofCapeTown’shistoryhas goneupfor sale this week as the first public tele-

scope placed on TableMountain in 1930 waslisted on www.gumtree.co.za.

The telescope was purchased in 1991 byUCT employee Julian Meyer, a collector oftelescopes, from the chief technical officerfor a brass scrap price.

At the time, the telescope had fallen outofuseas its objective lenswasbadly crackedand the prisms were chipped.

However, this does notmean that the tele-scope has lost any of its historical value.

“This is obviously a very, very rare pieceand would be an amazing restorationproject or an extremely valuable collectable

for display.“Some very important people looked

through this telescope during the years itwas on the mountain,” says Meyer.The telescope was mounted for public

viewing next to the upper cable station in1930, just after the opening of the cable car.Some of the illustrious visitors who may

have peered through its lenses include theBritish Royal family during their 1947SouthAfrican tour – where theywere greet-ed by the then 77-year old Prime Minister,Jan Smuts.Smuts not only hiked to the top of the

mountain tomeet them, but arrived back intown in time for a joint sitting of the Housesof Parliament.Meyer was able to confirm the telescope’s

authenticity through the South African As-tronomical Observatory. He also unearthedfrom online archives a picture of it in itsplace on the mountain.A former Zeiss employee visiting Cape

Town fromtheUnitedStateswasable topro-vide the exact manufacture date and sentMeyer the original token used to test thetimingmechanism,which takes the place ofthe coins that thepublicused topay for theirview of the city and the ocean.After trying to get the telescope refur-

bished by the now defunct SA Navy OpticalWorkshop and by the Table Mountain Aeri-al Cableway Company as a possible publicexhibit, Meyer reluctantly put it up for sale.“I hope whoever buys it will have better

luck than I did in getting this wonderful tel-escope back into working condition.”

Ajax Cape Town and Super-Sport United went through tothe final of the Metropolitan

u.19 Premier Cup on a day of highdrama at Erica Park in Belhar onSunday. The grand final was stillin progress at the time of going toprint.The young urban warriors beat

Ikapa Sporting 3-0 in a tensematchthat remained in the balance untilthe final stage. Masilake Phohlon-go gaveAjax the lead after only two

minutes with a well-taken finish.Ikapa received a boost midway inthe second half when defender Jay-Dee Adams was sent off for a sec-ond bookable offence. However,the red card only served to galva-nise Ajax, whose ten men madesure of victory with two goals bySonwabile Mfecane and CourtneyWilliams in the last five minutes.Simon Nqoi scored the only goal

in the other semi final, as Matsat-santsa held off a spirited challenge

by Bidvest Wits to set up a mouth-watering final.Ajax qualified for the semi final

after coming from behind to beatHellenic 2-1. Leo Thetani’s equalis-er cancelled out JasonBritz’s open-er before Phohlongo netted thewinner in the second half.Adeeb Khan scored twice and

Luke le Roux added a third as Ik-apa booked their place in the lastfour, courtesy of a 3-1 victory overAtlantic Nacional. Atlantic’s goal

came from Julio Bianchi.SuperSport made light of falling

behind to a first-minute strike bySwansea City’s Mael Davies to fin-ish as 4-2 winners. Fagrie Lakayscored a brace and Nelson Malu-leke andZamaRamabuwaneaddedfurther goals, while Jordan Gar-rick grabbed a late consolation forthe Welsh outfit.BidvestWits squeezed pastMila-

no United 3-2 on penalties, after ahard-fought encounter that endedgoalless after extra time.“Congratulations to the teams

that have made it through to the fi-nal. They have proven themselves

to be the strongest sides in the tour-nament and thoroughly deserve tobe there. We anticipate a closelycontested championship match,”said Llewellyn Allen, head ofbrand and corporate affairs ofMet-ropolitan Life, before yesterday’sfinal.“We are heartened by the deter-

mination and commitment dis-played by each and every playerthroughout the event. This tourna-ment is an important step in the de-velopment process and reveals anearly glimpse of the next genera-tion of Bafana Bafana stars,” headded.
