‘Unsafe’ stop must go‘Unsafe’ stop must goTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents who stay close to the shadedbus stop on the corner ofMilitary Roadand Grendal Avenue in Lavender Hill

are calling on the City of Cape Town onemore time to remove it.Residents say the bus stop makes them

easy targets of crime. They say some robbershide behind the bus stop whilst others hideon top of the bus stop and they pounce on

people waiting for transport.The bus stop was used by buses and mini-

bus taxis, but none of them stop there now.Commuters have gone back to the old busstop which doesn’t have a shade and is nextto the one they are complaining about.Thebus stop is also allegedlyusedbygang-

sters when they fight, so the residents aresaying they don’t want it anymore.A resident, who spoke to People’s Post on

condition of anonymity, says their lives arein danger.

“We can’t even send our children to theshops because there is always someonewait-ing there for them. We don’t want this busstop anymore.We have tried to get our wardcouncillor to get it removed but nothing hasbeen done. We are still asking the City to re-move it. If they don’t do it we will be forcedto chop it off ourselves. We are in dangerhere and the bus stop is useless. No-one usesit because standing there is like throwingyourself in the mouth of the crocodile.”Another resident, who preferred to re-

main anonymous for fear of victimisation,says the situation is out of control.“We have had enough. Having it removed

will be better. When you go to the shop youhave to be on the lookout all the time. Wewant to do things the right way, but if ourcalls arenot heardweare leftwithno option.Wewill have to remove it. Kids coming fromschool are scared to evenwalk past there butthey have no choice. Removing it will reallysave us.”V Continued on page 3.

Residents want this bus stop inLavender Hill gone because,they say, it is a hiding spot fordrug dealers and robbers.

Ombudsmanknows taxHe knows the game from both sidesand together with the tax ombuds-man, he ensures business runssmoothly.Advocate Eric Mkhawane, CEO

of theTaxOmbudsman, recently vi-sited Mitchell’s Plain in a bid to ed-ucate the public on the roles andpowers of the ombudsman.The office was only recently

launched, says Mkhawane, and notmany know of it or make use of itsservices yet.Mkhawane has been with the of-

fice since December 2013 and hasbeen practising law for about 20years. He started his practice in Jo-hannesburg in the 1990s andworked at South African RevenueServices (Sars) before passing thebar exam to become an advocate.He says he has experience on bothsides of the tax spectrum, havingrepresented Sars and the taxpayer,which helped him get an educatedunderstanding.

There’s help foryour tax woesSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

There is an organisation designed to helpyou with your tax woes, and the serviceis free of charge.The office of the Tax Ombudsman is an

independent body established in 2013. ItsCEO recently visited Mitchell’s Plain toinform residents of its services.Advocate Eric Mkhawane says the of-

fice has been a long time coming.“The office was initiated in 1995. After

1994 there was a tax reform and it wasfound that there needed to be a tax struc-ture to protect the taxpayers’ rights andmediate between the revenue service andthe taxpayer,” he explains.The office was, however, only put into

motion with the passing of the Tax Act in2011, which made provision for the body.“We needed to wait for [the South Afri-

can Revenue Service (Sars)] to be ready,and when their processes were ready, wewerewaiting for the next thing. Itwas puttogether in 2012 and became operational

in 2013,” he tells People’s Post.Mkhawane visitedMitchell’s Plain last

Wednesday.He says: “People must know about us

and our services. If people had issueswith the revenue service before the office,they would need to go to court. We alsowant people to knowhow to complain andwhat we can and can’t do.”About 20 people attended the workshop

hosted by ENSafrica.“The office of the Tax Ombudsman is

an important institution that contributesto assisting taxpayers. ENSafrica, as partof our pro bono programme, felt it impor-tant to ensure that communities were in-formed of the services of the office of theTax Ombudsman, and thus we coordinat-ed the information session, which waspresented by the CEO of the TaxOmbuds-man. The session imparted valuable in-formation to the participants, who foundit to be of immense value,” says NatashaWagiet of ENSafrica.Mkhawane explains there are specific

circumstances that allowhis office to stepin to help taxpayers.The law states problems before 2012

cannot be dealt with by his office, butMkhawane says they have requested per-mission to allow such issues to be dealtwith by his office.

Local connectionThere is no representative of the orga-

nisation in Cape Town yet, but Mkha-wane says technology allows them to helptaxpayers countrywide.“In the new financial year we are look-

ing to extend our footprint. It is a processwe are working toward,” says Mkha-wane.He explains the organisation is gov-

erned by the law and complaints firstneed to be directed to Sars before he isable to help – except in compelling cir-cumstances that cause undue hardshipfor a taxpayer.He adds themost popular cases he deals

with relate to refunds, but the cases varyand are categorised.“We can make recommendations, but

Sars does not need to implement it. Butif they do not, we report directly to theminister and he would then ask why itwas not implemented,” he says.“We aim to have issues resolvedwithin

15 working days, but that would dependon Sars.”Mkhawane says after receiving a com-

plaint they do an investigation by access-ing the Sars records and then contact thecomplaining taxpayer if they are able tohelp.“We have a good working relationship

with Sars but there are some teethingproblems. People also are afraid to com-plain to us because they feel they will bevictimised. If that happens we will dealwith it,” he says.The Tax Ombudsman’s service is not

without its limitations.The office cannot make exceptions to

the law or help in matters already beforethe court.Sars still remains the first point of call,

and in the event they are not helping ataxpayer, the Tax Ombudsman will beable to help where possible.V For more information on the office of the TaxOmbudsman visit www.taxombud.gov.za. Withcomplaints call their tollfree line on 0800 662 837.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Whatever floatsyour boat hereGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Visiting theMaitlandworkshopwhere thefloats and paraphernalia are being made

for the Cape Town Carnival is an excitingexperience.At first glance it seems as if you’vewalked

onto the set of some futuristic science-fictionfilm with grinders setting off sparks in alldirections from, at times, garish creations.Hammering rings through the air from allcorners of the property. And then you real-ise that this is where the festival is really“made”.On Saturday 12 March the public will ex-

perience the glamorous and glittering pa-rade on theFanWalk inGreenPoint, but lastweek the media got to see the more seriousside of how it all gets put together at a work-shop in Maitland.Shaam Stringer is a fabric artist from

OceanViewwhohas been part of the festivalfor six years.

In front of him streamers are starting toform a fantastic flower (or is it a face?) amidan array of wires. He assures me it will allmake sense on the day.“It’s been a wonderful experience forme,”

he says. “I got involved through a friend andnow it is an important part of my life.“When I watch the parade and hear how

people cheer for what I am part of creating– that makes me the proudest. And of courseit’s so much fun!”The carnival also attracts attention from

overseas, with, for instance, carnival artistYasmin Long from the United Kingdom add-ing touches.She is an intern from Brouhaha Interna-

tional in Liverpool where she is studyingvarious aspects of carnival production.“This has been an exciting time for me to

experience how people are excited about theevent and all the communities that are in-volved.“I can’t wait to experience the event when

it takes place on 12 March.”

Look after your eyes to avoid ‘blinding disease’Health officials are reminding resi-dents to look after their eyes aheadof World Glaucoma Week, ob-served worldwide from 8 to 14March.Glaucoma is a group of eye dis-

eases that cause progressive dam-age of the optic nerve.If left untreated, most types of

glaucoma get worse – withoutwarning or obvious symptoms –gradually doing damage to eye-sight, whichmay lead to blindness.The visual damage is mostly ir-

reversible, and this has led to glau-coma being described as the“blinding disease” or “the sneakthief of sight”. Glaucoma is the sec-

ond most common cause of blind-ness worldwide.There are several types of glau-

coma.It was once believed that the

cause of most or all glaucomas washigh pressure within the eye.These days such pressure is con-sidered a “risk factor” for glauco-

ma, together with other factorssuch as racial ancestry, family his-tory, high myopia and age.In most cases glaucoma appears

equally among men and womenafter the age of 40.There is no cure for glaucoma as

yet, and vision loss is irreversible.However, medication or surgery

(traditional or laser) can halt orslow down any further vision loss.Therefore, early detection is essen-tial to limiting visual impairmentand preventing the progression to-wards visual handicap or blind-ness. Eyecare professionals can de-tect glaucoma.V For more information visitwww.sags.com or the World Health Orga-nisation on www.who.int/blindness/caus-es/priority/en.

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

After spending 36 years in the police, Brig-adier Riaan Booysen says it’s time to

make way.Booysen has been the commander ofWyn-

berg police station for the past four years.He is taking early retirement, as he believesit’s time to give new blood the opportunityto lead.He says it’s time to concentrate on other

things, as he has done his work over theyears.Born in Philippi, he matriculated from

Zwaanswyk High School in Retreat in 1978.He becamea soldier andunderwentmilitarytraining at Kimberly Infantry School in Pre-toria. Thereafter he worked in several de-partments, including the department oftransport. That’s where he got a transfer tothe police in 1983. He started his police ca-reer at Wynberg police station.He was later transferred to Claremont

where he became a detective in 1985.Booysen says Wynberg holds a special

place in his heart, because it’s where his ca-reer as a police officer took off and where itended. He was also baptised at the Dutch Re-formed Church which is a few metres awayfrom the police station. He also met his wifeof 33 years, Judith, at the church.Starting out as a young detective he was

worried whether he would know the differ-ence betweenmurder and death due to a nat-ural cause.“I was wondering if I would be able to dis-

tinguish the two. Fortunately, I had the besttrainers, very experienced people, and theymade everything very easy. This was mydream. Iwasveryexcited, but themost excit-ing part of the job was walking out of the

courtroomknowing you have secured a con-viction. It gives a sense of fulfilment and be-ing able to go back to the community and saythis is what you can do,” he says.As a detective Booysen has had an excit-

ing career. He has worked on high-profilecases, like police killings, several Pagadmurder cases and explosives cases, theGold-en Arrow bus killings and the murder ofMarike deKlerk, ex-wife of former presidentFW de Klerk. He also helped in the Sizzlermurders case in Sea Point and worked onseveral armed robberies and rape cases inwhich international tourists were the vic-tims.He was the detective commander at police

stations in Manenberg, Nyanga, GrassyPark, Gugulethu, Diep River and Athlone,where he had to deal with inquest and mur-der cases. He and his team dealt with 1600murder and inquest cases fromKhayelitsha,Gugulethu, Nyanga and Langa in a year.He was also appointed as a police diver

and had to recover several corpses and pie-ces of evidence.In 2000 he became the provincial com-

mander of serious andviolent crimes,wherehe led units like urban terror, murder, rob-bery, gangs, taxi violence, firearms and thechild protection unit.In 2006 he was appointed the Woodstock

cluster commander and later that year hetook responsibility for the Cape Town clus-ter. He was also the station commander atStrand police station before heading back toWynberg police station as its commander in2012.“There comes a point in your life where

you feel you have done it all and there isnothing more to achieve. It’s now time togive the new generation an opportunity totake over. I leave the station happy because

I know they are a good teamwho are alwayswilling to help and serve the community,”he says.Though he is a man of vast experience, he

attributes all his success to teamwork.“There are people who work tirelessly be-

hind the scenes and theymakework easy foryou. Without them I wouldn’t haveachieved the things I achieved. Whatis really important is to work as ateam and a team is as strong asits weakest link. Whensomeone is lagging be-hind things won’twork. With the casesthat I worked with,chain evidence was vi-tal, although one inves-tigator would have tosee a high-profile casethrough court. Hav-ing everyone on thesame level was of ut-most importance asyou can’t do every-thing alone.”Angie Latchman,

Wynberg policingcluster spokesper-son, says Booysen isknown as a hands-on commanding offi-cer who led by example.“He has been a good mentor to all of us.

Many look up to him for knowledge. He hasgreat insight and he does things by the book;he is a disciplinarian. It’s sad that he is leav-ing us butwith the same breathwewish himwell. He has been with his family in blue forover three decades; nowhehas to spend timewith his immediate family. Like they say,once a policeman always a policeman; he

will be looking over us. We salute him forwhat he has done,” she says.Riaan and Judith Booysen have two sons

and two grandchildren.Yesterdaywas his last day in the office. He

says it’s time to focus on his business. FromJuly he will practise in his own company,Riaan Booysen Polygraph and Private In-vestigation, where readers can contact himon 074 203 6658.

Girl doing well after train accidentTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A toddler from Retreat who fellout of a moving train is back athome and doing well.She was discharged last

Wednesday and is recoveringfurther at home.The girl, whowas travelling on

the train with hermother, fatherand siblings last Monday, wasflung out of the train when thedoors suddenly opened while thetrain was in motion.She was picked up in the mid-

dle of the rails before she wasrushed to the Red Cross War Me-morial Children’s Hospital,where she spent a fewdays inandout of a coma due to her severe

head injuries.Warrant Officer Keith Chan-

dler, spokesperson of Diep Riverpolice, says: “It is alleged that thedoors of the moving train wereopen. The girl was travellingwith her mother and two sib-lings. The girl suffered injuriesand was rushed to Red CrossChildren’s Hospital.“The mother and siblings re-

ceived counselling at the policestation. No criminal cases wereopened.”Riana Scott, Metrorail spokes-

person, also confirms the inci-dent.“The only factual evidence at

our disposal currently is that atoddler was found lying betweenthe rails between Heathfield and

Diep River stations at 06:30. Met-rorail’s first priority was to sum-mon medical assistance and thechild was taken to the Red CrossChildren’s Hospital.“The Retreat railway police

are investigating the incident.We await the outcome of the po-lice investigation to confirm thefacts of the incident. Social me-dia reports doing the rounds areunconfirmed.“We encourage any eyewit-

nesses to immediately provideinformation to the police to as-sist in their investigation.“Commuters are advisednot to

board or disembark frommovingtrains, not to open train doors intransit and to not travel betweencarriages,” she says.

FROM PAGE 1

Brett Herron, Mayco memberfor transport, says the City ofCapeTownhas not received anycomplaints about this specificbus stop.But after People’s Post

brought residents’ concerns tohis attention, the City surveyedcommuters and residents lastweek.“OnWednesdaymorning offi-

cials interviewed commuterswho make use of this bus stop,as well as residents living in thevicinity of the bus stop.“Neither the residents nor the

commuters who were inter-viewed indicated that they hadan issuewith the bus stop or theshelter that is being provided.“In fact, thosewhowere inter-

viewed during the survey were

concerned about the possibilitythat the roof or shelter may beremoved, as this protects com-muters from rain during thewinter months.“Given the responses re-

ceived during the survey, theCity will not take any action toremove the shelter.“It is important to note that

criminal activities should beprevented and investigated bythe police, who are mandatedwith this function.“The long-term solution to

crime does not, in my opinion,reside in removing City-ownedinfrastructure. This much-needed infrastructure is to thebenefit of commuters andserves a very important pur-pose.”

Behind the banner of theAnimalAnti-cruelty League (AACL) is a group of

individuals working tirelessly to carefor and find homes for abandoned ani-mals.These “everyday heroes” have been

captured by local photographer FrankPople. His work will be on display in anexhibition in aid of the AACL.Pople’s relationship with the AACL

started when he found a puppy inside aplastic bag while running. He ap-proached the organisation for help.When he saw its work, he was inspiredto take some portraits of the peopleworking with the animals.“Seeing those animals in cages wait-

ing to be adopted, like orphans,mademeso sad,” he says.Mpho Hlalele, AACL’s assistant gen-

eral manager, says: “He gave us somegorgeous images and we realised thatwe couldn’t just have them and do noth-ing with them. So began the idea, a yearlater, to find a space somewhere andshare the photos with the public, creat-ing this fundraiser.”The exhibitionwill allow the public to

meet each person that has a role in ani-malwelfare –highlightingordinarypeo-ple taking on extraordinary tasks,

Hlalele says. Everyone from the recep-tionist to the cleaner and veterinarianis featured.“The photos play a part in admiring

the heroes responsible for saving thou-sands of sentient beings annually – fromthe lady with a warm smile who washeshundreds of blankets, to the knowledge-able hands that save lives with a scalpelblade. Our heroes bestow compassionon those who need it the most – thevoiceless victims of our society,” shesays.The portraits also serve as a way to

thank staff for their contribution, Hlale-le says.“Welfare workers are often underval-

ued and unappreciated, often blamed bysociety for humanity’s mistakes. It is athankless and heartbreaking undertak-ing. Our heroes do not bask in the gloryof admiration; rather their tasks are car-ried out with painful decisions andmany tears. They have to endure muchsuffering to be able to save lives andthey have to continue this never-endingbattle for good to prevail. So in doingthis, we just want to recognise that ev-ery person whomakes a contribution tomake a difference, is a hero,” she says.V The fundraising exhibition will take place at 6Spin Street Restaurant in Cape Town on Fridayat 19:00. Entry is a donation of R50. All proceedswill go to the AACL.

Local son walks thestreets for 42 yearsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Yesterday marked a special day for post-man Mogamat Jassiem – after 42 years

facing the steep streets of Vredehoek he wasfinished with his post run.

While the post office acknowledged 40years’ service with a party at the central de-pot in the city, this Woodstock resident in-sists it has been 42 years.

“I should know, I did the time,” he laughs.This dedicated postman prides himself on

always getting the post to the right address-es.

Originally from Retreat, he attended StPaul’s Primary in the Bo-Kaap. He had toleave in Grade 7 to start working in the fam-ily.

“It was tough times, but I wanted to do itand started working in the mail room intown, but knew that delivering the mail waswhat I wanted to do.

“Eventually I was given the chance to doit and here I am 42 years later facing retire-ment.”

Talking about his experiences he feelsthat he’s never had a bad moment with hiscustomers.

“I always took pride in what I was doingand got to know so many people on myrounds.

“Always treat people with respect andthey will respond in the same way.”

Jassiem also explained that throughouthis career he used to walk his route.

“I did not use a bicycle; these hills are toosteep in this area, but the walking led meto my hobby of running and race walking.

“For the past few years I belong to a clubso take part in every race possible in distan-ces ranging from 21km to full marathons.”

He also feels the electronic age has affect-ed his work by making it slightly easier.

“Yes, there is not so much mail nowadaysand the load is lighter, but there is still mailthat must be delivered.

“I don’t mind it so much, because I wasnot getting any younger and the age ofChristmas cards also had its problemswhen you had so many bags.”

What are his plans for retirement?“More running, and maybe sleeping a bit

later,” he laughs.

Postman Mogamat Jassiem, who was born inRetreat, retired yesterday after 42 years ofwalking the streets to do his delivery runs.

IN THE GARDEN

Grow yourown ediblesA water wise vegetable and herb gardenhas the benefits of saving youwater and be-ing a source of healthy nutrition.Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

gives tips to keep your home greens in shipshape in this hot, dry season.

Water wise bedsKeep traditional square or rectangular

beds that channel the water to the plants.Making the beds slightly lower will help tocreate a pocket for thewater. But be carefulwhen walking on the soil between theplants – you don’t want it to become com-pact and decrease absorption and increaseevaporation.

Water saving granulesThese can save up to 50% on water usage

as well as give your plants a slow releasefeeding. Combine products such as Aqua-soil with the soil used for planting.

Shade netsYou can either cover your whole veggie

orherbgardenor thoseareaswhere the sunis a lot harsher. This reduces evaporationand allows faster absorption of water.Remember thorough, less frequent wa-

tering encourages the roots to grow deeper.In this way the plants can thrive duringtimes of drought or little watering.

MulchingMulching is one of the quickest, easiest

and most cost effective ways to conservewater in your garden. Mulch is any sub-stance placed on the soil surface, aroundplants, to keep moisture in the soil.The best sort, organic mulch, comes

mostly from plant sources. They breakdownwith the help of earthworms. You canuse compost, grass cuttings, pine needles,milled bark, straw, peat, crushed mealiecobs, autumn leaves and shredded paper.Inorganic mulch has materials that do

not break down but keep moisture in thesoil, like gravel, pebbles and stones.“Enjoy the ‘fruits’ of your labours and

keep those veggie and herb gardens thriv-ing during this hot and dry season,’ saysStodel. “There’s nothing nicer than eatinghomegrown food straight from the garden.”V For more tips visit www.waterrestrictions.co.za andwww.stodels.com.

LETTERS

UIF is a verylong call awayfrom paid[The letter writer has been trying todraw his UIF benefits.]Last Tuesday I tried calling the

labour department. Someone eventuallytook the call, after it rang for more thanten minutes. She answered and politelytransferred the call to another depart-ment. Another ten minutes later nobodybothered to take the call and then cutme off.Immediately I called back. Nobody,

but nobody, took the call.Maybe we can get the Athlone group

to show the Town Centre group how itis done. I have been there more thanthree times and still no help from them.They keep saying the paperwork is notin order.I have another date for tomorrow –

can’t wait to hear what’s going tohappen tomorrow.[He returned last Wednesday.]I’m fed up and they don’t realise that

we need to borrow money to come backall the time.I had an appointment to go sign again

for unemployment.I spent the entire day there only for

them to tell me that my documentshave not been captured on the systemyet.I eventually left at 13:00. I was there

from 07:00 in the morning.I’m not happy with the service here

and would like to know where I cansend my complaints to.

Debt review not so easyI wish to comment on the editorialcomment “Ignoring debt will not make itgo away” (People’s Post, 16 February).I wish to advise that the article paints

a very easy and trouble-free future forpeople who are in debt, suggesting thatdebt review would ease their pain.This is not entirely the full story.I was on debt review for nearly seven

years and for most of that time it reallydid not matter as I was using my ownmoney to pay for things.The trouble started when I wanted to

get off the debt review as the companythat had applied for my restructuring hadsubsequently closed and my file washanded over to a new company.I was sent a letter by the new compa-

ny, but could not make sense of itimmediately.It was only later after months and

months of trying to locate the people thathad placed me under debt restructuring

that I found the letter from the othercompany that had taken over the ac-count.But they were of no service to me

because they were never paid to do so.I managed to acquire the self-exclusion

form which is required should you wishto opt out of debt review.The lesson to be learnt here was that

getting into debt review was easy, butgetting out was frustrating.Without the proper information re-

quired at hand, one could face one of themost miserable days as no creditor orbank can help you if your status report isdebt review, regardless of how yourfinancial situation has changed.Debt review is not the answer, but

learning to know how to work with yourown money and applying faith-basedprinciples will save you from hardship.

Mistreatment at UIF officesI agree with the letter writer in People’sPost (“Claiming UIF is ‘controlled cha-os’”, 16 February). I have been to theAthlone office thrice and the office isvery slow. Twice I went to one assistantand to another the other time. The firsttime I went was in October, but I am yet

to receive my maternity leave UIFmoney. I was not informed properly andhad to take my forms back to work threetimes. I hope I can get my payouts beforegoing back to work.

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke

The first time she laid eyes on him, AlanaWitberg’s heart was ripped from her

chest.“He had the saddest eyes I had ever seen

on any animal,” she says about Snowy, thelittle Arctic fox that was rescued by theNSPCA from a petting zoo in Johannesburglast year and relocated to Butterfly WorldTropical Gardens outside Cape Town.Alana is the curator at the park.“When asked by the NSPCA if we could

accommodate him we said yes in a heart-beat.“He was in a terrible condition – over-

weight with overgrown nails and rottenteeth. It was clear that he had a tough life,”she says.The four-year-old male is a victim of the

illegal exotic pet trade in South Africa, andis believed to be one of 16 Arctic foxes re-corded in South Africa.Since he arrived in October last year, the

team at Butterfly World had gone the extramile to ensure that the remaining years ofSnowy’s life – another three to eight years– will be as comfortable as possible.“Arctic foxes originate from the arctic re-

gions of the Northern Hemisphere, and areadapted to living in very cold environ-ments.“The hottest summer days they experi-

ence in the ice tundras are 17° degrees,while they are quite comfortable at -50° de-grees during the long winters,” she says.

Now lives with female Cape foxIt is unimaginable to comprehend how

Snowy survived the hot African conditionsat the cramped petting zoo, where he waskept for years.“He was skittish and trusted nobody, and

very, very unhappy.”He was immediately set up in a tempera-

ture controlled environment at ButterflyWorld and Alana spent countless hourswith him to gain his trust.“In fact, we have cleared and refurnished

a two-bedroom flat with a bathroom all forSnowy’s use. Since it is very stressful for

him in the heat, he is kept indoors to remaincool,” she says.Here he especially loves lying on the cold

bathroom tiles and was joined by Leila, aplayful female Cape fox.“Hewas very lonely andwe brought Leila

in for companionship. Although she seemsto rule the roost with her dominant person-ality, the pair get on very well, and Snowyhappily submits,” says Alana and adds thatSnowy will soon be getting the “snip”.WithPeople’s Post’svisit lastweek the iro-

ny was not lost on us – an Arctic fox findingsolace and contentment in a tropical park.When Alana took him out of his cool en-

closure for one of two daily strolls, it wasclear that much had changed for this adora-ble little creature. He was in tip-top condi-tion, playful and curious with lively and in-quisitive little eyes.“He loves his strolls and needs the exer-

cise, but can’t stay outside in this climatefor too long. He starts panting very quicklyif it is too warm.”

AmbassadorSnowy is now an ambassador at the park

in their attempt to bring about awarenessregarding the exotic animals pet trade.“We hope that his story will make people

think twice before keeping an exotic pet.”If you would like to meet Snowy you can

go along to the park during his daily walks.On Saturdays and Sundays this is be-

tween 10:00 and 11:00 and again at 15:00 and16:00, depending on the temperature.“He will be walked on his harness by an

animal handler who is available to answeranyquestions andassistwith aphoto oppor-tunity.”V Call Butterfly World on 021 875 5628 for more infor-mation.

SHERATON PARK

New drug dangertargeted at kidsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Sheraton Park Neighbourhood Watch iscalling on parents to be aware of a new

drug being sold in the area.The drug is called kiddie heroin or, more

commonly, cheese. It is apparently moreharmful than tik. The dealers are targetingprimary and high school learners, giving itaway or charging next to nothing for it.

The drug is said to be highly addictive.The presence of the drug in the area came

to light when there was an increase in casesof overdose and drug-induced psychosis.

Drug dealers are apparently recruitingchildren to be dealers.

Cheese is a combination of other drugs,made by combining heroin with crushed tab-lets of certain over-the-counter cold medica-tion. Such cold medications contain acetami-nophen (paracetemol), the active ingredientin Tylenol, and the antihistamine diphenhy-dramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl.

Eric Bailey of the neighbourhood watchsays parents must be very vigilant.

“This is very serious. Most of our kidsdon’t inject or smoke it, they snort it so it’sdifficult for parents to pick up early. It’s im-portant to be aware of the signs of cheese her-oin abuse,” he says.

Signs of using cheese heroin:. Drowsiness, sleepiness or lethargy. Excessive thirst. Disorientation or confusion. Sudden drop in school marks. Sudden change in friends

. Money and valuables disappearing

. The presence of objects related to cheeseheroin use, such as straws, ballpoint pen tu-bes and notebook paper wrappers

Symptoms of withdrawal include moodswings, insomnia, headaches, nausea andvomiting.

The content of the drug induces severe, ir-reversible damage to the liver when taken inhigh doses for long periods of time. Very highdoses of acetominophen are capable of pro-ducing acute liver failure and death withinhours. Patients who survive this acute phaseof the toxicity generally require dialysis andeventually a liver transplant.

A new drug, known as cheese, is apparentlybeing sold to local learners. Sheraton Neigh-bourhood Watch is calling on parents to be onthe lookout for it.

Drug dealer’s ‘mail’ returnedA tip-off has led to dagga worth R10 000 hid-den in a postbox.

The City of Cape Town’s social housingunit is ramping up efforts to tackle crimeand antisocial behaviour in City-ownedrental housing. Last Monday, officers ofLaw Enforcement dealt one drug dealer anasty blow when they confiscated the daggathanks to information from a member of thepublic.

The officers were attending to a com-plaint at Dover Court in Lavender Hillwhen a bystander informed them that drugswere being stored inside the nearby post-boxes. The officers investigated and found

74 dagga stoppe and four parcels of dagga.Unfortunately, they were unable to trackdown the owner.

JP Smith, Mayco member for safety andsecurity, says drug dealers are very crea-tive in how and where they hide their drugs.

“They hide in places including crevicesand cracks in the pavement, inside electric-ity boxes and, of course, in postboxes. So,while this find isn’t entirely uncommon, thequantity of drugs found is quite significant.Ideally, one would have wanted an arrest,but at the very least the confiscation left aR10 000 hole in the pocket of whoever thatdagga belonged to,” says Smith.

R10 000 worth ofdagga was foundin a postbox inLavender Hill.

Muizenberg police officers are not goingeasy on criminals.

Since Monday last week Muizenbergpolice officers arrested 20 suspects.

These arrests include 8 for shoplifting,1 for assault, 1 for domestic violence, 1for trespassing, 2 for housebreaking andtheft, 1 for robbery, 3 for outstandingwarrants of arrests and 2 for theft. Oneperson was arrested for being an illegalimmigrant.

Members of the Muizenberg crime pre-vention unit noticed a suspicious manloitering at a well-known drug outlet inDassie Street, Vrygrond one morningtwo weeks ago. On seeing the police theman ran into the house. The membersgave chase. The 29-year-old suspect wascornered in the toilet of the residence,where he was found with 20 mandrax tab-lets and 17 packets of tik.

Members of Muizenberg crime preven-tion unit were doing routine searches ofknown shebeens in the Vrygrond arearecently when they arrested a 19-year-old man, also in Dassie Street.

He was found with 71 5F boxes of wine

and 16 bottles of whisky and brandy. Thepolice thought this was too much for hispersonal use and he was arrested for sell-ing alcohol without a licence.

In the same week police officers no-ticed a well-known drug runner in Unit-ed Avenue, Overcome Heights. He at-tempted to evade the police, but was ar-rested by the police members who hadgiven chase. The 30-year-old resident ofOvercome Heights had attempted todump a plastic bag with 54 sticks of dag-ga.

One morning recently police officershelped a local security company bust adrug deal in a car in Boyes Drive. The53-year-old apparent buyer was arrestedwith cocaine, the apparent seller, a 28-year-old foreign national, was arrestedfor being in possession of 27 packets ofcocaine and seven packets of tik. Thesedrugs were discovered hidden away inhis car.

Captain Stephen Knapp, spokespersonfor Muizenberg police, says they appealto community members to provide infor-mation on drug dealing.

Arrests in Muizenberg

You now only need to remember one num-ber for most municipal service issues.

This comes as the City of Cape Town’s wa-ter and sanitation call centre merges withits corporate call centre in a bid to make theservice available 24 hours a day.

Residentscan call about their accounts, a wide rangeof general enquiries and service requestsand all water- and sanitation-related en-quiries.

“As the City continues to move towards

ensuring increased efficiency and effective-ness in dealing with service delivery con-cerns, it has become necessary to relook themanner in which our call centres are struc-tured and move towards a more integratedapproach,” says Xanthea Limberg, Maycomember for corporate services and compli-ance.

“We are confident that this move will re-sult in improved quality of service deliveryand response times across the city,” saysLimberg.V Call the City’s 24-hour technical operations centreon 0860 103 089 and select option 2 for water-relat-ed issues.

Hellenic Football Club have kept theirleague aspirations alive followingtheir 4-1 home victory against a lethar-

gic Grassy Park United side in a Safa West-ern Cape regional ABC Motsepe League en-counter at the UCT astroturf field on Satur-day.While Hellenic, affectionately known as

the “Greek Gods”, are on song in theirleague campaign, Theo Hempe’s GrassyPark United are now singing the blues.United, togetherwith Ikapa Sportingwere

the only teams in the top five to suffer de-feats.Sporting fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of

Steenberg United.The two teams now sit on 34 and 33 points

from 19 matches and, with the gap wideningbetween them and the top, their chances ofclaiming a stake of the league trophy is slim.Glendene United, the defending league

champions, fought a tough battle to beat RCAthletico 1-0 in Kensington on Friday afterbeing kept to a 1-1 draw by United in a mid-week fixture.Glendene United maintain their position

at the top of the league standings.Glendene United have 42 points after 20

matches and Hellenic are second with 41points after 19 matches.Third-place Steenberg United, on 37

points, have played 18 games and simply

cannot be ruled out from the league race.The results confirm that all three front

runners are very much in with a chance ofwearing the league crown. It would give thechampions an opportunity to strike it big atthe promotion national play-offs for a berthin the national first division competition.NeverthelessHempe’s United sidewas un-

able to continue its good form. Team mem-bers appeared to have tired legs and as a re-sult, never really got into gear.Nevertheless, the Greek Gods never

looked in danger against the Southern Sub-urbs visitors. They held a 1-0 lead for the bet-ter part of the first half thanks to SlovoMra-wa’s goal. Waseem George made no mistaketo level matters for United.After the start of the match in the second

half, the Greek Gods found the back of thenet three more times and made full use oftheir chances in goals by Fabian “Tucker”Wareley,Mickyle JacksonandThandoBooi.The team was without its top marksman Al-fonso Fraser, who is serving a three-matchsuspension.V Full results from the ABC Motsepe League: GlendeneUnited 1, RC Athletico 0; Steenberg United 2, IkapaSporting 0; Milano United 2, The Magic 2; Barcelona1, Crystal Palace 0; Atlantic Nacional 2, Mitchell’s PlainUnited 1; Zizwe United 3, Black Cats 2; Hellenic 4,Grassy Park United 1; Ramblers 2, Atlantic Nacional 2;Ikapa Sporting 1, Zizwe United 0; RC Athletico 2, AjaxCape Town 1; Glendene United 1, Grassy ParkUnited 1.

School soccer players to beregistered on Safa appJOSEPH PILLAY

An initiative by the South African FootballAssociation (Safa) to register all school soc-cer players on a digital platform, starting atyouth level, could lead to a fruitful outcomeon all fronts.The aim of the exercise is to communicate

with Safamore effectively and to combat ageand other forms of identity cheating in thesport.According to Safa, soccer players will be

issued with a digital identification card thatcan be validated pitch-side using a free mo-bile app,which is currentlybeingdeveloped.Dennis Mumble, Safa CEO, says he is

proud that Safa is the first national sportingbody inSouthAfrica to launchadigital iden-tification project for school-age players.“This project will eventually wipe out age

cheating, a scourge on our beautiful game.Many people still approach us about agecheating, but because of lack of proof, in

most cases we are unable to do anythingabout it. With this new system, we are ableto track a player from first registration,”says Mumble.The project in the long-term will be used

as a tool for talent identification as well.“This project represents the first step in

Safa’s digital ambitions that include regis-tering all Safa stakeholders, including play-ers, referees and coaches by 2018,” saysMumble.Likewise, the competition systems and an

amateur soccer results website will belaunched in 2017, which Danny Jordaan, Sa-fa president, says forms part of Safa’s great-er, more longer term objectives.“These technology initiatives are another

important piece of Safa’s vision 2022. Howteams and federations use technology sepa-rates the merely good from the great. Thesesystems will be the foundation of our talentidentification pipeline for all our nationalsides,” says Jordaan.

It was sweet revenge for Falcons as theyavenged their earlier defeat against West-ridge Yankees in a Cape Town Softball Asso-ciation Super League match at Turfhall Sta-dium on Saturday.The Falcons, down 2-3, scored two earned

runs in the final and bottom of the fifth in-ning to send Westridge Yankees packing toa 4-3 defeat.Earlier this season, the Mitchell’s Plain

side starved off a stiff challenge by Falconsand beat Falcons 5-0.Falcons started pitching with Natalie

Abrahams, who was on the mound for 4.1 ofan inning. She faced 24 batters and allowedfive hits, while relief pitcher Nicky Jones(0.2 of an inning) faced nine batters and sur-rendered no hits.Featuring among the five single hits for

Yankees were Megan Cable, Jackie Adonis,Charmelle Whiteboy, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams (each 1-3). They also per-formed well in the field, making only twofielding errors.Yankees pitcher Cable faced 22 batters in

her five innings. While she conceded onebase-on-ball and earned six fanned scalps,Cable surrendered only four hits to Saman-tha Jones (1-1), Bettina Philips (1-2), Aama-rah Larney and Abrahams (each 1-3).ThewinmarkedFalcons’ 16th in 19 games.

They have one drawn result and two losesto date.With 49 points to their name, coach Andre

Alexander’s Falcons are second on the log –two points behind defending championsGlenthorn A’s. The A’s have played one few-er game.

Glenthorn A’s trounce VOBGlenthorn A’s trounced VOB 10-3 on Sat-

A big star inwater polo is start-ing to shine brighter andbrighter.

Caitlin Siljeur is a 14-year-oldathlete from Retreat. From an ear-ly age she showed promise as asportsperson. As the youngest ofthree children in the house she of-ten competed with great determi-nation against her two older broth-ers while playing at home. She hasa natural drive that allows her todo well and be successful.At her primary school, Cannons

Creek, she was fortunate to have acoach, Katelyn Weber, who recog-nised her raw talent and developedthe young star. At 11 and in Grade5,CaitlinwonPlayerof theTourna-ment at the Knysna Open WaterTournament and the CannonsCreek Water Polo Tournament inthe u.13 sections in 2012.Later in the same year she was

selected for theWP u.13Bwater po-lo team. She also represented herregional u.13 teams in hockey andsoftball in the same year.She says her favourite sport is

water polo.“I enjoywater polomore because

I find it comes more naturally tome than hockey. Also, a lot of myfriends play water polo with meand it makes it more enjoyable.”In 2013 she was selected for the

WP u.13A water polo team, whichwon gold at the interprovincialtournament.Shewas also selected as a pitcher

for the WP u.13 softball team andrepresented her zone in hockey.All these achievements earned

her the Sports Woman of the YearAward at her school and she wasoffered a sport scholarship at Red-dam House in Constantia, whereshe is now in Grade 9.In 2014 she finally played in her

proper age group and proved to bea dominant force as an attackingplayer in water polo.She is part of an exceptionally

talented team at Reddam House –

they have not lost a game in theirage division for the past threeyears.She captained theWPwater polo

team to a gold medal in Johannes-burg, scoringheaps of goals. She al-so played in the regional hockeyteam.Balancing training and academ-

ics takes dedication with earlymornings and few weekends off.“I train for about five hours in a

week. I have early mornings onMondays and Wednesdays from

06:00 to 07:00 and on Tuesdays andThursdays I have afternoon prac-tice from 17:00 to 18:00 and on Fri-days and Saturdays I have match-es,” she says.But she enjoys it a lot.“Sport makesme feel really good

aboutmyself and it clearsmyhead.It doesn’tmatterwhat formof sportI play, but whenever I play I feelcomplete and in my right place.”Last year proved to be another

successful year for Caitlin. Shewas awarded WP colours in both

water polo and hockey.And this year started on a high

note.Her school team played in the

Shaun Fuchs u.15 water polo tour-nament in Johannesburg lastmonth against 19 other schools.Caitlin was awarded Player of theMatch on three occasions andnamed Best Attacking Player. Shewas also chosen for the tourna-ment team.She says that when she is not

playing sport, she enjoys running,hiking, surfing, stand-up paddlingand going on long walks.Next year Caitlin is eligible for

national colours and hopefully shewill follow in her older brotherDannon’s footsteps.“In Grade 12 I would like to rep-

resent my country at an interna-tional water polo tournament or atthe Commonwealth Games,” shesays.. You can also nominate yoursport star by sending an email toben.burger@media24.com.
