hree officers from Ocean View Police
Stationhave landed inhotwater follow-
ing a murder in the rasta camp.
According to a police report, officers re-
ceived a call just after 15:00 on Friday 16 Jan-
uary about a murder in the area known as
the rasta camp.
Ocean View Police Station commander
Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus says of-
ficers arrived on the scene and found a man
had been stabbed to death.
At this stage, Augus says, they are still in-
vestigating the circumstances around the
murder and it is unknown when the man
was killed.
We are not sure how long the man was
dead before we arrived. This will be deter-
mined by the post mortem, he says.
Last week reports surfaced about three of-
ficers who attended the scene.
Various trusted sources, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, claimed the officers
stole three bags of dagga found in the home
of the murdered man and tried to resell it
in Ocean View.
The sources also provided the names and
ranks of the officers alleged to be involved.
When asked about this, Augus would only
say there were more than three officers who
were at the scene of themurder but declined
to comment on the issue.
According to provincial police spokesper-
son Captain FC van Wyk, a docket for cor-
ruption, theft and defeating the ends of jus-
tice has been opened on the three officers.
He says no arrests have beenmade and the
matter is being investigated by the anti-cor-
ruption unit.
The investigation stems froman incident
on [Friday] 16 January when the members
attended a murder scene, explains Van
Wyk.
Parallel with the criminal case, the mat-
ter is also investigated departmentally.

H
ave you ever called your local police sta-
tion and requested that a police van as-
sist with a crime issue?
Have you ever been told no vehiclewas avail-
able?
One Cape Town resident has now decided to
tackle this issue.
Owen Simons from Lavender Hill has made
a plea to residents across Cape Townwho have
experienced this to come forward and share
their stories.
For many years, Simons says, he has often
seen police vehicles stationed at private homes
and wondered whether it was allowed.
In recent months he has become frustrated
with being told no vehicles were available to
attend to a complaint and has kept a record of
how many times this has happened.
In the last three months I have called my
local station 29 times and only been assisted in
two instances. This was for a shooting and a
robbery. In one of these incidents I contacted
the station commander directly and he assist-
ed by getting a van out, he explains.
Protocols
Simons says the public is not aware of what
the protocols are with the use of police cars.
He says his aim is to ascertain how many peo-
ple have seen these vehicles parked at private
residences in their communities and whether
or not others have been told there are no vans.
The main issue is that people do not know
what the protocols are and when officers get
authorisation to take these vehicles home and
what the conditions are.
Provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant-
Colonel Andr Traut says the command and
control of the vehicle fleet is not something
that is treated lightly.
He explains rigid regulations and di-
rectives are enforced to ensure that vehi-
cles are applied for the intended use.
Due to the fact that policing and the
availability of our personnel at short no-
tice are not restricted to office hours, ve-
hicles marked and unmarked are as-
signed to members to keep at their place
of residence on a standby basis.
However, Traut says, obtaining autho-
risation for the use of police vehicles is
compulsory and can only be issued by a
commander.
Records
Traut explains records are kept for
each vehicle and in the case of a dispute
or an investigation, the GPS-based track-
er, which is fitted to all police vehicles, is
used to shed light on thewhereabouts and
usage of the vehicle in question.
He says the initiative by Simons is wel-
comed by police and should correspond
with police records.
However, if it does not, wewill not hes-
itate to investigate the matter and take ap-
propriate action against our members who
misuse State vehicles, Traut adds.
Resources
Simonshas raised several questions about
the availability of resources and the use
thereof.
While living in a high crime area, he
says, not being able to get a vehicle to re-
spond to a call is a concern.
The question is if they keep saying they
dont have resources or vehicles, then why
are there vehicles parked at private homes
overnight not being used.
Asked whether there were enough vehi-
cles, Traut says: Western Cape police have
a sufficient number of vehicles to police the
province effectively and the vehicles as-
signed for after hours garaging at the resi-
dence of members are not the ones utilised
for attending complaints and policing by the
24-hour shifts.
V If you would like to provide Simons with information
about police vehicles call 079 955 5335 or email ow-

Community Police Forum (CPF) chair-
personKathy Cronje says they are hor-
rified by the news and will be tackling
this issue.
It makes me understand why the
community does not trust the police and
we are calling on people who have con-
cerns about officers to speak to the CPF
and we will address these issues, says
Cronje.
In August last year Peoples Post ac-
companiedanOceanViewwoman to the
police station where she reported a bur-
glary at her home.
Thewomans sonwasmurdered at the
property inLaplanda fewweeks earlier,
forcing the woman to live with neigh-
bours as she feared for her safety.
At the time she revealed that shortly
before his death, her son had started
selling alcohol illegally from his wendy
house.
While at the station, she informedoffi-
cers of threats made to her tenants by
a well-known drug dealer.
Officers on duty ignored her and did
not assist her to open a case.
In an interview with Colonel Martin
Swanepoel, cluster commander for
Ocean View, Simons Town, Fish Hoek
and Muizenberg police stations, he said
this was unacceptable (Plan in the
works to oust drugs, gangs, Peoples
Post, 21 August).
He said this was considered bad ser-
vice and called on residents to report
incidents such as these to him directly.
The station also came under scrutiny
earlier this month when a resident re-
ported seeing police paperwork in the
street.
The issue was reported to Mark
Wiley, chairperson of the Community
Safety, Cultural Affairs and Sport port-
folio committee and member of provin-
cial parliament, who reported the issue
to provincial police and the Department
of Community Safety (Docs).
He says onTuesday 13 Januaryhewas
in the area and picked up several pages
with police content, including opera-
tional plans.
That same day, Peoples Post saw Au-
gus along with another man handling
paperwork in Kommetjie Road.
Wiley could not say whether the pa-
perwork included dockets but the infor-
mation it did include was classified.
Wiley has photographs.

ough questions about work on the wall
between Glencairn and Simons Town
have arisen.
Speaking during the monthly South Pen-
insula Subcouncil meeting last week, coun-
cillors voiced their frustrations.
The issue first caught the attention of
councillors in March last year when work-
men employed on the site downed their
tools.
At the time City of Cape Town Mayoral
Committee member for transport Brett Her-
ronexplained theR3.8m tenderwasawarded
to Likhanyile Trading Enterprise. Disgrun-
tledworkmen fromRedHill,Masiphumelele
and Ocean View claimed their concerns
about incorrect payments and safety on the
site were not addressed.
Herron also explained work had com-
menced in December 2013 and was sched-
uled to be complete in March, but the con-
tractor had not met the deadline.
The contractor is liable for penalties and
has put in a claim for additional time. If all
goes according to plan, the new envisaged
completion date is the end of April, he said.
Speaking during the subcouncil meeting
ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock ques-
tioned when the work would be completed.
He voiced his frustration at the awarding
of the tender to a company based in Johan-
nesburg.
The problem is they dont have the capac-
ity to carry out the work and we are still
waiting. There seems to be an issue with the
Citys supply chain management on this
[matter], he said.
Commenting on the current state of the
project, Herron says the total value is just
over R4m. He explains the project included
the rehabilitation of the concrete wall in the
vicinity of theGlencairn station and says Li-
khanyile did not complete the work they
were required to do.
Asked whether the City was looking for a
new contractor to complete the work, Her-
ron says: The City is not yet looking for a
new contractor as the dispute between the
parties has not yet been resolved, and has
been referred for mediation in accordance
with the agreement between the parties.

Families lose
everything in fire
An Ocean View woman suffered first
degree burns following a fire which
ripped through three wendy houses in
Daisy Circle.
According to a report from the City
of Cape Towns Fire and Rescue Ser-
vice the fire started just after 18:00 on
Thursday 22 January.
Spokesperson Theo Layne says they
were called to the scene at 18:15 and
found three wendy houses ablaze.
He says one man was treated for
smoke inhalation and taken to False
Bay Hospital by Cape Medical Re-
sponse.
The woman had first degree burn
wounds on her right forearm and was
treated on the scene. However, she re-
fused to go to the hospital for further
treatment, he says.
Proportional councillor Patricia
Francke is assisting the families to get
back on their feet and has made an ap-
peal for donations.
The fire, she explains, affected
young children who have lost their
school uniforms and other essentials.
We are appealing for donations of
furniture, school clothes and other
items to assist these families.
V If you would like to help, call Francke on
079 588 2305.

hen you think about Fish Hoek,
what comes to mind?
Is it the unique heritage, natural
wonders, variety of locally owned business-
es or the sense of community that comes to
mind?
Is it too hard to pin it down? Dont worry,
you are not alone.
A new initiative by the FishHoekCity Im-
provement District (CID) is calling on vari-
ous roleplayers in the valley to have their
say on how the picturesque suburb by the
sea is branded.
In February the CID will host a meeting
of the minds at Calders Conference Centre
to hear what the public thinks about the
idea.
Vanessa Husband, who is part of the
branding subcommittee, explains after
manyyears theCIDhas decided to drive this
initiative in a bid to put Fish Hoek on the
map. We want to find a brand which shows
visitors how dynamic Fish Hoek really is.
Forme thepeople and the sense of communi-
ty is really what should be highlighted, she
explains.
Husband says about two years ago, many
people took to the saying Fabulous Fish
Hoek which worked well, but was never of-
ficially made a brand.
With an award-winning shark exclusion
net, she says Fish Hoek Beach is the biggest
drawcard for visitors, but the branding
would focus on more than just the beach.
At themeeting, the CIDwill give a presen-
tation on the idea to develop branding.
At this stage we dont really know what
the branding will consist of. While the CID
initiated theprojectwewant the community
to participate and share their ideas, she ex-
plains.
The branding initiative is aimed at giving
Fish Hoek an identity which can be utilised
by businesses, tourist destinations and
shops.
A unique logo or slogan will be created to
encapsulate the spirit of the valley.
The CID is compiling a database of inter-
ested roleplayers and are calling on organi-
sations, businesses, institutions and indi-
viduals who are interested in attending the
meeting to register.

Slap on the sunscreen
If youre planning to soak up the sun, it
would also be wise to lather on the sun-
screen.
As Skin Cancer Awareness Month this
month draws to an end, andwithWorldCan-
cer Day on Thursday 4 February, people are
encouraged to avoid excessive exposure to
sunlight.
In a statement, ER24 further encourages
the public to examine their skin regularly.
Exposing your skin to the suns rays for a
long period of time increases the risk of de-
veloping skin cancer.
Radiation oncologist Dr Nirasha Chiran-
jan says excessive sunlight can damage the
skins cellular DNA and this damage can
lead to skin cancer.
She recommends people examine their
skin once a month and have a doctor exam-
ine it every six months.
The three major types of skin cancer are
Basal Cell Carcinoma, SquamousCell Carci-
noma and Melanoma.
Chiranjan says Basal Cell Carcinoma of-
ten occurs on the face and other sun exposed
areas. Squamous Cell Carcinoma also oc-
curs mostly on exposed areas of the body
and can spread to lymph nodes.
DrRobbieDeMuelenaere, also a radiation
oncologist, says although melanoma is not
as common as other skin cancers, it is re-
sponsible for more than 80% of skin cancer
deaths. Melanoma can resemble a mole, can
develop fromamole or onnormal-appearing
skin. It can spread to other parts of the body.
Muelenaere says: Melanoma usually
looks black because of themelanin inside it.
But you get what we call an amelanotic mel-
anoma. So you can have a blemish on your
skin that changes.
These spots can vary in colour or look
yournormal skin colour. It is better to have
them removed. With melanoma the thick-
ness of the lesion is important in determin-
ing the outcome. Do notwait until it is a cen-
timetre or two. Have it checked immediate-
ly, he says.
Monitor the number of moles you have
and consult a medical professional if moles
are becoming bigger; some of the moles do
not match the others; borders are irregular
as moles should be nicely rounded; the col-
our varies; and if the diameter is more than
6mm as it could be dangerous.
Children
Children shouldbemadeaware of the dan-
gers posed by excessive sun exposure.
Caradee Wright, founder of the SunSmart
ResearchProgrammeandLab inSouthAfri-
ca, said a research project conducted among
about 700 children in South Africa, revealed
that children had some understanding of
what the sun is about but were not protect-
ing themselves adequately. We found that
the majority of schools surveyed did not
have a sun protection policy. We are a long
way behind but I think they are trying to
help children better protect themselves
from the sun, says Wright.
Skin colour
Speaking about skin colour, Wright ex-
plains it is the melanin content or pigments
in the skin that protects a person from the
sun. Youhave tounderstandyour own skin
andwhat the colour of your skin is to be able
to protect yourself. If you are dark skinned,
it doesnotmeanyouarenot going to get skin
cancer. A dark skinned person can still get
skin cancer but they are less at risk.
We conducted a large sampling of South
Africas skin colour and sensitivity to the
sun recently. It has never been done in
South Africa or Africa. We want to put to-
gether an atlas of South African skin colour
to understand how much melanin people
have.We have done it by population group.
Some of the preliminary results show that
even within a population group, there is a
huge range of skin colours andmelanin con-
tent. Sowe cannot say that somebodybased
on their population group is safe.
People should also protect themselves on
cool days. The ultraviolet radiation still
comes down even if there is less infrared in
it.
He says in South Africa, ultraviolet levels
are relatively high almost all year round.

P
lans to have a traffic centre are on hold
just a little longer as contractors are ex-
pected to complete work in June.
The new centrewill be housed in a proper-
ty owned by theCity of CapeTownat the foot
of Boyes Drive near Zandvlei.
Councillors from the South Peninsula
Subcouncil commented on the completion of
the centre at themonthlymeetingheld at the
chambers last week. The subcouncil area al-
so includes Strandfontein and parts of Rock-
lands.
They questioned a report on building
works, stating they needed an update about
why work had still not been complete.
Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock said he
was concerned as the new centre was
aimed at bringing Traffic Services closer
and improving their presence in the Far
South.
He further explained a substantial
amount of ward allocation funding had been
put into the project by councillors and it was
unacceptable that traffic officers could only
use the building for lunch and bathroom
breaks.
Muizenberg ward councillor Dave DAl-
ton told those present he had been informed
that the line department had run out of
funds.
According to City executive director for
Safety and Security, Richard Bosman, it
was the intention of the South Peninsula
Subcouncil to restore the heritage site
and turn it into a user-friendly Traffic
Services deployment centre for the Far
South.
He explains, at this stage, the project cost
is R3m.
Bosman says the site was handed over in
September 2013 and estimates work will be
completed in June.
The subcouncil allocated funds for the
project. However, the funding did not cover
the entire project and currently Cape Town
Traffic Services is funding the remainder of
the project in order for the facility to be fully
functional, he says.
Bosman also says traffic officers are not
able to work in the building at this time as
contractors are still on site.

Upgrade of Cape Point commences
Work on the upgrade of the water line at
theCape ofGoodHope (CoGH) is set to com-
mence soon.
According to a statement by TableMoun-
tain National Park (TMNP) after an exten-
sive planning and approval process a num-
ber of key infrastructure upgrade projects
have been identified and approved for the
CoGH section of the park.
The first programme relates to the up-
grade of the main water line and is aimed
at replacing old infrastructure and improv-
ing services to patrons.
This is the first of a number of projects
that will take place this year to upgrade in-
frastructure and services at Cape Point.
Other projects include the upgrade to the
sewerage treatment plant, road repairs, ad-
ditional water storage capacity and an ad-
ditional entrance lane and extension of ac-
cess management building at the CoGH
Main Gate.
It is not anticipated that there will be
major interruptions to services as a result
of the work being undertaken during these
projects, the statement reads.
The Red Track mountain biking route
will be closed for four weeks during con-
struction which will be communicated in
the coming weeks.
Follow the TMNP Facebook and Twitter
pages (SANParks-Table-Mountain-Nation-
al-Park and @TableMountainNP) for regu-
lar updates regarding the closure.
Managementwill, however,make every
attempt to ensure that there are no unnec-
essary delays to park visitors, TMNP offi-
cials say.
Call to curb copper thieves
Copper theft across Cape Town is on the
rise and authorities are calling on resi-
dents to be vigilant.
According to a statement by the City of
Cape Town, a recent report has shown that
the associated costs ofmetal theft has risen
from R10m to R13.5m.
The Citys Water and Sanitation Depart-
ment has compiled a report documenting
all departmental property lost as a result
of metals theft between January 2012 and
December 2014.
The statement says while the rise has
not been pronounced, the level of theft is
steadily diverting more and more resour-
ces away from far worthier causes.
The report tracked the theft of water me-
ters, meter covers, fire hydrant covers,
valve covers and manhole covers.
Ernest Sonnenberg, City Mayoral Com-
mittee Member for Utility Services, says
the situation is frustrating and thieves
show no regard for the effects their behav-
iour has on the community.
Not only does metal theft often result in
disruptions to the water supply, but it di-
verts funds away from essential mainte-
nance projects and upgrades, he says.
The City says there has been a dramatic
increase in the number of stolen manhole
covers.
Not only are these expensive to replace,
but when left unreported they can be one
of the main causes of sewer blockages, as
their absence allows inappropriate materi-
als to accumulate in the system. The conse-
quent blockages andoverflowspose signifi-
cant health risks to the people who live in
affected areas, says the statement.
The City is now calling on residents to
report suspicious and illegal activity as
well as any information which could lead
to the capture of the perpetrator, or scrap-
yards known to be dealing in stolenmetals.
While it will be extremely challenging
for law enforcement officers to apprehend
every thief, community participation can
help create a culturewhere it ismuch riski-
er for these elements to operate. Not only
willmore criminals be caught, but prospec-
tive metals thieves will think twice before
targeting the communitys infrastruc-
ture, says Sonnenberg.
V To report illegal activity call the Citys Metals Theft
Units hotline on 0800 222 771. To report missing
drain covers call 0860 103 089 or send an SMS with
location of the problem and a short description to
31373 (maximum 160 characters).

lmost as soon as the schools broke up
last year, 2nd Fish Hoek Senior and
Junior Scouts embarked on separate
outdoor adventures.
The junior scouts spent two nights up
Table Mountain, sleeping over in the
Scout hut overlooking the Back Table.
The day was spent ascending Grootkop,
the highest of the Twelve Apostles, and ex-
ploring the rocky maze of Tranquillity
Cracks, high above Camps Bay.
The final day was spent descending Ta-
ble Mountain through Echo Valley and
Constantia Nek.
On the adventure, the scouts gained val-
uable knowledge about what to bring on
a hiking expedition, how to pack their
rucksacks and cook their food in a wilder-
ness environment, while at the same time
having fun.
The senior scouts spent 10 days of hiking
and taking part in various adventure ac-
tivities at the Senior Scout Adventure in
the Cederberg.
Over 500 scouts from across South
Africa and Namibia took part in this
event.
If you are endeavouring to do some-
thing different this year and this is the
kind of action you are looking for, scout-
ing in the Fish Hoek valley is alive and
well, andprospectivenewscouts in the age
group of 11- to 14-years-old are welcome to
join.
If you are an adult who has been in-
volved in scouting in the past and would
like to give back to the scouting communi-
ty in the valley by becoming a volunteer,
you can email 2ndfish-
[email protected]. Scouts enjoy the outdoors during the holidays. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

urfers and beachgoers will soon bid
farewell to the sandy patch which
makes up Surfers Circle.
This follows the commencement of amuch
anticipated upgrade. Funds for the project
were sourced from theMuizenberg Improve-
ment District (MID) andward councillor Da-
ve DAlton.
DAlton is excitedabout theproject andex-
plains the circle has been an eyesore on the
popular beachfront.
To me it was an area that was neglected
and in need of some upliftment. When asked
to help fund the project, I agreed, he says.
He explains the upgrade will consist of
paving and landscaping the area, but DAl-
ton says the design also includes surfboards
and a raised wall.
MID chairperson Tony Smith explains
they will be responsible for the perimeter
wall and landscaping parts of the project.
The MID has given R120 000 to the project
in addition to the R170 000 from DAltons
ward allocation funds.
Smith says the possible development of a
statue and walk of fame falls outside the up-
grade being undertaken by the MID.
The redevelopment of the Muizenberg
beachfront has been pivotal in shaking off
the seedy image of the past and the growth
of surfing schools and restaurants is attract-
ing a constant flow of visitors. Yet despite
our blue flag beach and iconic beach houses,
the traffic circle on the beachfront is an eye-
sore, he says.
Smith explains in keeping with the agree-
ment signed with the City of Cape Towns
roads department in 2012, they partnered
with DAlton to commence work on upgrad-
ing the circle.
This will complement the ongoing trans-
formation of the beachfront that is being
driven by substantial private investment.
Asked about the plans to build a surfing
monument at the circle, Smith explains the
MID relinquished the responsibility for the
implementation and management of the
surferswalkof fameelementdue to the com-
plications of theCitys newpublic art policy.
Members of the surfing fraternity have
put much thought and effort into howMuiz-
enbergs surfing legacy can be highlighted
and theymayapproach theCitys public arts
and culture department and apply to build
a monument in the centre of the traffic cir-
cle, he adds.

elicopter rescues, dodging flying bullets and facing in-
fernos.
These may sound like scenes from the movies, but
these feats make up the average day for many of our emer-
gency services crew.
Each day, firefighters, police officers, paramedics and
emergency rescue crew put their lives on the line to save
others. And these acts of bravery are seldom noted or re-
warded by the communities they serve.
Even more deserving of our thanks are volunteers from
charitable organisations who respond in emergencies.
The National Sea Rescue Institute, which runs off the
hardworkandgooddeeds of over 900unpaid crewmembers;
Western Province Lifesavers tirelessly patrol our beaches,
keeping swimmers safe, and the Volunteer Wildfire Servi-
ces made up of 180 volunteers whowork closely with other
emergency service organisations to extinguish wild fires
are just some of these.
Organisations such as these, as well as essential services
such as firefighters, police and paramedics, need our help.
And while we may not all be highly trained emergency
crew, there are numerous ways in which we can lend a
hand.
Funding is always in short supply for rescue volunteer
organisations, and donations from the public ensure they
are able to deliver vital services. If you dont have the mon-
ey to give, donate your time by volunteering.
But supporting these volunteers doesnt stop there pre-
pare yourself, your home and your family for emergency
situations. This includes everything from attending first
aid courses to educating yourself on how to respond in an
emergency what numbers to call, what information to re-
port andhow to assist those aroundyouuntil the emergency
service crews arrive. This information not only makes the
challenging job of the emergency crew easier, but in ex-
treme cases could save a life. And it could be yours.

in Somerset West following a gradual
deterioration of his health over the past
year.
Gurney was born 30 October 1941 in
Roodepoort.
In 1960 he graduated with a BA in
teaching and served as a high school
teacher in history and physical education
at Dawnview High School.
Gurney had a passion for sport and
coached gymnastics part-time at Dawn-
view High School to pupils, including his
own daughter Helen.
Gurney was at Dawnview for the
duration of his career and decided to
retire from teaching at the age of 55 to
relocate to the beautiful town of Fish
Hoek.
He remained an avid reader of history
and active member in the community by
establishing two new gymnastics tum-
bling clubs in the Western Cape at Paul
Greyling Laerskool, Star of the Sea and
Sun Valley Primary School in Fish Hoek.
The two clubs went from strength to
strength bringing back medals from
national competitions which was no
surprise.
Gurney fully retired in 1999 from
coaching and donated the gym equipment
to the respective schools to spend his
retired days outdoors and at the beach.
One of his favourite pastimes was going
crayfishing with his daughter Mickey,
and having the sunshine and calmness of
the sea surround him.
Gurney is survived by his daughters
Guanita (Nita), Marguerite (Mickey),
Helen and their mother as well as
grandchildren Jason, Lene, Irma, Ruben,
Monique and Angelina), daughter-in-law
Yolande, son-in-law Christo, and close
friends.
MICKEY HARVEY,
Dropouts: we need to break that cycle
As a follow on the Grade R article (Bold
plan to halt school dropouts, Peoples
Post, 20 January), I would like to high-
light a few issues.
The school Act states clearly that all
children aged 15 years and younger must
attend school.
It is the parents/guardians responsi-
bility to take the child back on the first
day of school and ensure the child is
registered. Failure to do this is against
the law.
Sadly, after the December holidays we
see a large number of children dropping
out of school. This is mainly due to drugs
or joining gangs or because of failing
the previous year. Several teenage girls
wont go back as they find out they are
pregnant.
All teenagers need to be encouraged to
go back to school as this is the only way
out of unemployment and poverty.
Most of the teenagers I have worked
with over the past few years who have
dropped out of school spend their days
sitting around doing nothing. We need to
break that cycle.
Parents need to go as soon as possible
to register their children if they have not
already [done so].
Should the parents not do this, the
children can seek help at the social
workers or Soteria.
Over the next week we would like to
gather all the names of pupils not yet
registered so that we can assist them.
Those youth who have already passed
Grade 9 and would prefer to study a
trade should consider enrolling at False
Bay College.
JOHANN KIKILLUS,
Soteria Ministries
Chinese lanterns a fire risk
At this time of year when the danger
of fires is so great, we all need to be
watchful and alert to any careless
behaviour.
I was amazed one evening recently
to see someone living in a house
just below Hillside Road (possibly
holiday-makers) sending off Chinese
paper lanterns into the darkening
sky.
Fortunately the South-Easter wasnt
blowing, and they must have thought it
was very pretty to see these lights
floating gently upwards. But I was
appalled to think of the thoughtlessness
of those setting them off into the
tinder-dry conditions of the environ-
ment.
The folk had absolutely no control
over the lanterns they were blithely
sending off.
Who was to know whether a lantern
might land on a thatched roof of a
house or on the vulnerable fynbos?
Surely the sale of things like this
should be banned in an area where
fires are a very real danger?
I would have liked to have reported
the matter to someone, but to whom?
The fire department? The neighbour-
hood watch? The police?
I felt absolutely powerless to do
anything apart from watch these little
fires floating up over the houses to
the mountainside, and hope and pray
they did not ignite yet another dreadful
fire.

Soetwater
. Please explain the logic behind fining
the City R40 000. The money will come from
ratepayers, so it is they that are being fined
for City incompetence. City officials should
be fined personally.
. I think the Department of Environmen-
tal Affairs and Development Planning
should take to praying.
. I camp every year at Soetwater Resort
and pay lots ofmoney. Youhave towalk long
distances for a shower. They really need to
sort out the toilets at bus parking.Old people
must walk far to do their thing. It seems the
same people get their spots at the anchor ev-
ery year. People from far get the best spots,
but Ocean View people must just accept
what they get.
. Notwithstanding the consequences of
ignoring ecological issues, it is a disgrace
that the City can build such an unsightly
structure in a visually sensitive natural ar-
ea. City officials should be sensitised to the
fragility of our peninsulas precious scenic
values which make Cape Town such a
sought after tourist destination. Howard

Schools
. I really appreciate all the effort going in-
to the building of educational places for the
disadvantaged, but there is a need for all
children in the valley. There is a large num-
ber of children still waiting to be placed into
Grade 1. Taryn Campbell, Sunny Dale
. Yes, they will help the children of Masi,
because most children need a good platform
at the early stage. The important thing is
these centres will be suitable for children.
And teacherswill be properly equippedwith
skills and knowledge so they can deliver
good and quality education. #MasiMassive
. Yes to Masi early childhood centres.
Chess
. I love everything about chess. How can
I volunteer at primary school or community
halls?
. Chess is a good thing, but not the answer.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the answer. He is
our life.
. Kenny Solomon, what a great example for
the young people of Mitchells Plain to fol-
low. I wish there are more like him.
Hookah pipes
. Yes, hookah pipes are more dangerous
than cigarettes.
.My opinion of the hookah is that youth
and adults are using it for all the wrong rea-
sons. Somesmokedaggaordrugs in thepipe.
. Please ban all hookah pipes. That is
where they camouflage the drugs. I have ex-
perienced it with a lot of people. So I beg you,
take it off the market.
. Hookah pipes should not be made legal.
It is extremely bad for your lungs and kid-
neys as it gets smokedwithwater. In the end,
children are going to turn to drugs. We
should discourage teenagers from smoking
hookah pipes. SV
. I am a hookah pipe smoker and so is my
brother and my friends. We do not see why
people have a problem with us smoking
hookah pipes.
General
. As a resident I am very happy to read
about the plans for Ocean View.My concern
is mostly for the aged. There are many old
and bedridden people, whose families use
their pension for everything but their needs.
I would like an old age home with medical
staff, where we the family can give a helping
hand. The homes the people are sent to are
so far then they cannot get there.
. I got a water bill of R1444.88 last month.
I am a single pensioner in a two-bedroom
home, for Petes sake. J Curtis, Faerie
Knowe
. [I have been] staying at Masi wetlands
for 20 years. Nothing has happened.
Successful season in Kalk Bay
Kalk Bay and St James experienced a bump-
er season over the ChristmasNewYear peri-
od.
Very positive feedback from many resi-
dents on the crowd control and general
cleanliness of the area confirms that our ser-
vice providers coped well with the challen-
ges.
As a result of months of pre-planning, col-
laboration between the City of Cape Town
Metro Police, Citys Marine Law Enforce-
ment, Muizenberg police, Monwabisi Life-
guards and the Shark Spotters cleansing
team resulted in far better crowd control
than ever before at Kalk Bay Harbour [and]
beach and no drownings! Last year there
were five.
There was a noticeable improvement in
the cleanliness of the beaches and streets.
The beaches were cleaned every day at
05:00 with over 1000 bags of litter being col-
lected. Two Kalk Bay/ St James Special
Rates Area (SRA) cleaners continue to keep
the areas that are not on the Citys cleansing
roster clean.
The traffic and parking situation remains
chaotic. The Traffic Department assisted on
Sunday 4 January when cones were placed
in the road preventing cars from entering
the harbour parking area once it was full.
A simple solution, yet so effective. Also, 25
people fromtheExpandedPublicWorksPro-
gramme provided security for the area.
Although general crime levels are under
control the situation, particularly the recent
rash of car break-ins, is a worrying factor
to local residents as well as the public.
The public landowners, namely the de-
partment of public works, the City, the Pas-
senger Rail Agency of South Africa and the
Department of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries are jointly responsible for main-
taining law and order within its own bor-
ders. This year all these authorities pooled
their resources to provide security in the St
James/Kalk Bay area. Arrests were made,
butwith the influx of visitors to the area, the
criminal element took the opportunity to en-
gage in many acts of lawlessness.
This is something the SRA is concerned
about and is looking at structural and opera-
tional options to address crime. The SRA
management thanks all those involved in
the pre-planning and implementation of the
cleansing and security initiatives, making
this festive season the success it was.
Joanne McGilvray, Kalk Bay/ St James

Reduce speed to halt road deaths
We are in a New Year and many people
have taken account of the old year and
made adjustments to their years
plans.
One of the big issues every year, espe-
cially over the festive season, is the death
toll on our roads.
These deaths and related consequences
cause heartache, despair, frustration
and financial burdens to many people.
The transport ministry has tried nu-
merous projects and preventative meas-
ures to stop these [road deaths].
Speed results in deaths because of the
extreme power it generates.
Therefore, every effort must be chan-
nelled to drastically reduce the speed lim-
its on our roads.

tition in So Paulo, Brazil in August. Par-
ticipantswill compete in various skills are-
as from different sectors, ranging from
Manufacturing and Engineering Technolo-
gy, Social and Professional Services to IT
and Business Administration.
During this event, visitors will be ex-
posed to the endless opportunities and pos-
sibilities that come with vocational educa-
tion and training and in the process attract
the youth of South Africa into artisanship
as a career of choice.
The event also aims to attract visitor at-
tendance from the broader community
with a particular focus on schools in the
Cape Town metropolitan area to promote
artisanal and skills development in the
country to address the critical skills short-
age required to grow our economy.
Manana encourages all youth, parents,
teachers and industry representatives to
attend this event to firsthand experience
the excitement of artisanal and vocational
careers. This prestigious event is truly a
demonstration that it is cool to be a 21st
century artisan, he says.

LOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
W
ith their brand new album and end-
less supply of positivity, Glo Wors-
hip Band is on a mission to sing the
truth.
The group started out as a church band,
doing outreaches that just got bigger over ti-
me and as their ministries evolved, so did
thebandand their goals. Thebands unusual
name, which is pronounced as glow, was
thought up by band member Pierre Schoe-
mans wife. Its got to do with light and that
weare the light of theworld,which the scrip-
ture tells us.
Theyre not sure why they dropped the
w, but it happened tomake the namework
well in English and Afrikaans.
Glo launched their debut album, Sons of
God, at Jamrock Theatre in Brackenfell last
weekend.
Love music
All of us kind of had it in our heart to re-
cord an album somewhere along the line,
explains Roedie Nortier, but it was only
when their pastor suggested their material
was good enough to record that they started
seriously considering it.
They experimented with recording at
church, but in the end their album was pro-
duced by Gideon Murray from Katalyst Stu-
dios.
One thing we all have in common is that
weve lovedmusic since wewere little,Wil-
liam Loedolff says of his fellow band mem-
bers. Theyve also asked the Lord to use
them since they were little.
With this inmind,William points out that
while a lot of Gospel music is beautiful, Glo
ask: Is it beautiful to God, too?
Write own songs
Many songs that people write misunder-
stand Gods love for people, he says, adding
people sing about personal experiences, like
being far fromGod, instead ofwhat theWord
says. Its not necessarily the truth.
This concept changed the bands view on
music, shifting their focus from melody to
lyrics, which are written with the idea of lis-
teners singing along.
Having people sing along to a CD ismuch
easier than getting them to sing in church,
says Elmi Nortier.
The album has given them away to get pe-
ople to singpositive things about themselves
in a fun way. They dont even realise it but
they are putting their lives in order by sin-
ging with us.
The idea of singing the truth also led Glo
to the realization that therewerent veryma-
ny songs they could use, so they had to write
their own. This job fell mostly to William
who wrote most of the tracks on the album.
The music has elements of rock and folk,
but unpretentious and simple, making their
uplifting lyrics easy to sing along to.
Afrikaans single
Rather than being known as just a band,
Glo is a movement. Together with Pastor
Lood Spies, the group runs aministry called
Mach C. They want to help worshippers and
songwriters do what they do.
While the album is English, the band is al-
so busy sampling an Afrikaans single, Dit is
Gedoen, to stations across the country.
Sons of God is available throughNueLight
Productions and can be ordered by emailing
