City to install CCTV in latest bid to crush unyielding shootings
LANZO CRUYWAGEN People in Bonteheuwel and neighbouring gang-infested areas say the millions spent by the City of Town on the installation of CCTV should quell the wave of gang violence and arrest of the gunslingers. The outcry comes mostly from infuriated residents especially in Bramble Way where an innocent woman walking to the shop was last week shot and killed by unscrupulous gunmen. In the most recent killing a white man was
fatally wounded and his sprawled body found in the back of a car in Melkbos Street. Their concerns comes in the wake of the city’s announcement that by the end of the current financial year, camera installations in more than 40 wards will have been completed in a bid to keep an eye on crime and other safety and security threats. “We are sick and tired of the killings in our area. I’m too ashamed to tell people where I live and the authorities don’t have a clue how to deal with the ongoing gang-violence in the area.

Some members were sceptical about it, even tried to cause waves among the members not to allow this “WOW people” to come to our club, without knowledge what WOW is all about. This was a typical example of “fearing the unknown”. After our first meeting with Prof Frederick Marais, with him explaining to the members the importance of a healthy lifestyle, eating habits, exercise and play, the “WOW” concept for Bonteheuwel Walking Ladies (BWL) became a new challenge, which was accepted and we were prepared

think you are. There is a wide gap between success and values today. An ancient proverb states, ‘choose a good reputation over great riches, being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.’ Ethics and values should be visible because they should be the force behind your success. Unethical behaviour seems to have dominated the news recently. We seem to be confronted with people who appear to be successful but have compromised their values and suffered the consequences. Many of these people represented huge corporations which are nonexistent today. As South Africans

we must play our part to stop the scourge of corruption and revive the values of Ubuntu. We must not lose our sense of moral outrage but to take moral regeneration to the next level. We as religious leaders must do more to instil high moral values in current and future generations. What does success mean to you? Is success the accumulation of material wealth? Or is success measured in your life by the lessons learned on life’s journeys? Remember; there are no short-cuts to success. Success belongs to those who can be taught and are willing to learn. Your values may not be fully understood by others,
but do not compromise them simply to be accepted by the “in crowd”. We are called to stand out and not simply fit in. Value systems raise you above mediocrity and position you for greatness. God Bless. ken.mitchell@telkomsa. net 0641339460

The Level 6 reduction tariffs (as reflected in the tables below) will be applicable for the 2018/19 financial year until further decisions regarding the water restrictions are made. In light of the overall reduction of consumption and evaporation of consumption in the upper volumetric steps which are placing the current progressive domestic stepped tariff structure under severe strain and increased risk, the City is recommending alternative methods to ensure much higher levels of certainty and resilience of the financial model to recover the cost for delivering the service. Specific increases to the customer will depend on the specific set of circumstances. Significant tariff increases will however be evident due to the reducing volumetric base, the significant cost required for the water augmentation plans, acceleration of asset management and maintenance programs and adjusting of the water collection ratio. 2.1.1 Domestic Full - Water which is used predominantly for domestic purposes and supplied to single residential properties.

2.2. SANITATION Seven sets of Sanitation tariffs are proposed (Level 1 to 7 Reduction tariff). The Level 6 reduction tariffs (as reflected in the tables below) will be applicable for the 2018/19 financial year until further decisions regarding the water restrictions are made. In light of the overall reduction of consumption and evaporation of consumption in the upper volumetric steps which are placing the current progressive domestic stepped tariff structure under severe strain and increased risk, the City is recommending alternative methods to ensure much higher levels of certainty and resilience of the financial model to recover the cost for delivering the service. Specific increases to the customer will depend on the specific set of circumstances. Significant tariff increases will however be evident due to the reducing volumetric base, the significant cost required for extensions to the Treatment Plants, acceleration of asset management and maintenance programs. 2.2.1 Domestic Full (Standard) – Single residential properties: 70% of water consumption to a maximum of 35kℓ of sewerage per month (70% of 50kℓ of water equals 35kℓ of sewerage).

Introduction to Ramadan AS’SAUM – FASTING
To fast during the month of Ramadaan is the fourth Rukun/ principal of the religion of Islam. The Arabic word for fasting is SAUM or SI’YAAM. This form of Ibaadah/worship called Fasting was a devotion that was performed by previous nations/Um’mahs. Allah says in the Quran: O You Who Believe! Fasting Is Prescribed For You As It Was Prescribed To Those Before You. That You May Learn Self-restraint (that You May Ward Off Evil.) Fasting means to abstain from all the MUF’TIRAAT, from day break until the sun has gone down (until the whole disk of the sun has disappeared). The word MUF’TIRAAT are all those acts that invalidates and annuls the
fast. To fast during the month of Ramadaan is incumbent upon every male and female who is; (1) A Muslim. (2) Who is sane. (3) Who has reach the age of puberty. (4) Who is healthy.(5) Who is able to fast. (6) Who is residing (not on a journey) and is the cause of the female she should be free from Haydd and Nifaas. THE NIY’YAH OF FASTING Fasting is not valid unless there was a Niy’yah. This Niy’yah of fasting must be present any time during the night, this means that the person must have the intention during the night to fast the following day, for the Nabi sol lal laahu alayhi wa sal’lam said: “There is no fasting if the person did not make the Niy’yah during the night”, As was explained previously the place of the Niy’yah is in the heart, but it

The person who fast must see that he performs his five daily prayers, for the Salaah is the most important Rukun\ principle of Islam. He who fasts but does not perform his five daily prayers can never be considered as a honest Muslim, he is a wicked\ faasiq person.

A very youthful lady at heart, she never let any circumstances get her down.

The dream that changed her life forever came in 2004. Mama has always knitted whilst working in the sweets factories. She had made children’s knitting clothes for babies. She told Mainy, her daughter Charmaine, that she had seen two angels. They had told her to start a knitting club. The next day, a very excited Mama called “Mainy” and relayed the dream to her. The rest was history and the Kids Knitting Club was iniated. Prior to the initiation of the club, she had always donated her knitwear to charities, as well as children of her children, families and the community. She donated to charities, old age homes, Red Cross War Memorial and too many in Bonteheuwel and greater Cape Town.

One small step towards pulling together There can be no denying our Bonteheuwel community and many neighbourhoods around us are facing serious social disintegration. Whether is due to lack of capacity or lack or resources, is a debatable point. What is clear is a collective effort from all stakeholders, i.e. residents, police, wards councillors, City of Cape Town, government, social services plus religious leaders, are needed urgently. At a community meeting held in February locals express there ‘misnoeë,’ about a range of issues which are causing discomfort amongst the majority of this area. Keen to ensure continuity, the Joint Peace Forum (JPF) took the initiative with other role players and kick start a sports
day full of activities. The first one took place earlier this month what is commonly referred to as the A-block. To everyone one’s surprise the day was a huge success with young people taking part in board games, netball, football, model show with lots of dancing and music. In addition, all the participants were presented with a goodies pack including a sandwich and cooldrinks courtesy of donors/ sponsors. Its envisaged through this intervention, the challenges of social aspects, crime prevention and mobilization is addressed. The next activity/ sports day is scheduled for Pampas Street on Saturday, May 12. (copy submitted)

Shot put have a long standing tradition in the family of Zahid Diedricks. Since switching from sprinting three years, Zahid athletic prowess has flourished. This year he was the sole Bonteheuwel based representative in the Western Province team. He is immensely proud of this achievement given his weight troubles. Now eleven years old, Zahid grew very fast and become
unable to compete competitively in his beloved sprinting races. With the assistance of then school coach Mr Meyer he fell in love with shot put. And since then there has being no looking back. A soft speaking, modest and shy young man, Zahid said, “ I enjoy shot put, it challenges you all the time, you keep on trying to throw further and further, and I like that challenge to throw the
shot put higher and further.” Proud Principal Mrs. Lekay could hardly contain herself as she added Zahid is a role model to his friends and peers. Besides practicing shot put every second day, Zahid also enjoys karate at the Apricot Centre. He credits his mother and grandparents with his accomplishments, who since childhood have encourage and inspire him to rise above
his circumstances. Ask to give a message to learners and other children in this gang infested neighbourhood, Zahid, said,” Finish school, respect your parents and teachers, work hard, don’t do drugs and other naughty stuff, but do map out a future which will see you reach for the stars, and become something in life.”(copy submitted)
