Report small crime

>> Survey: under­reporting of crime by victims stalls progress STEPHEN COAN

V

ICTIMS not reporting crime distort the true magnitude of crime as reported by the police annually, and this hampers putting together strategies to stop it.

This warning emerged from a“victimisationsurvey”issued

by Statistics SA this week, and is backed by pleas from various community policing forums to report any crime, no matter how small. According to the report, when it comes to home robberies,the KZN hotspots were primarily in the eThekwini Metro and uMhlathuze Municipality.

VICTIMS urged to report small crime CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 STEPHEN COAN

T

HE report also highlights the under­reporting of crime by victims.

These findings form part of the Victims of Crime Survey data released by Stats SA on Thursday in the first volume of a Crime Statistic Series that deals specifically with housebreaking/burglary and home robbery from 2010 to 2011.

What differentiates a home robbery from house­ breaking/burglary is that there is contact between the victim and the perpetrator.

The most home robberies occurred in the northern parts of eThekwini, including Pinetown, Kloof, Ema­ chobeni, Waterfall, Molweni, Inanda, Mgangeni, Mgandeni, Senzukule, Amatata and Inhozamo.

FurtherupthecoastintheuMhlathuzeMunicipali­ ty, Empembeni, Mtunzini, Madlangala, Richards Bay, Stezi, uMhlathuze, Mhlana and Nqutshini were the most affected.

One of “the advantages of a victimisation survey is that it also captures crimes that were not reported to the police”, says the report.

“An estimated 58,5% of housebreaking/burglary incidents in South Africa were reported to the police

in 2011,” it says.

“This means that about 41,5% of housebreaking/ burglary incidents were not captured in the Case Administration System that administers the report­ ed case dockets and crime investigations that form part of the annual crime statistics.”

“It is worth noting that by not reporting crime … victims distort the true magnitude of crime as re­ ported by SAPS annually,” says the report.

“We encourage people to report any and every­ thing,” says Corne Broodryk, Kloof Community Police Forum chairperson.

“People say its small stuff and they can’t be both­ ered or they have lost confidence in the police ­ that’s really nonsense.

“People want things solved immediately, but it just doesn’t happen that way,” he said.

“There is a system in place and you’ve got to get processed into the system.”

“If you don’t report crime, you are just not going to get police into the area to deal with crime.”

Hayden Searle, Durban North Community Police Forum chairperson, agrees.

“If you don’t report the smallest crime, when it comes to allocating resources the police will look at the statistics and say contact crime is so low your area doesn’t need that,” he said.

Armed robbers hold up another Hillcrest restaurant, terrify patrons NIYANTA SINGH SHOCKED patrons at a Hillcrest restaurant had to take cover when two men posing as customers sud­ denly brandished weapons and held them up.

They took R4 000 and an iPad from the Mugg and Bean restaurant and patrons in the robbery at around 9 pm on Thursday.

One of the patrons, who did not want to be named, said the two men entered the restaurant pretending to be customers.“ “We didn’t suspect anything and thought they were customers.

“It was only when they spread out and surround­ ed us that we knew something was happening,” said the patron.

“He said the men told them to be quiet and hand over valuables without making a fuss.“

“They told us to put all our cellphones on the table and not to touch them.

“They grabbed whatever they could from us and there was a bit of a scuffle with the restaurant man­ ager and one of the guys before they left,” said the patron.

He said although it happened quickly, they feared for their safety.

“We feared the worst and we were really very scared,” he said.

This is the second robbery at a restaurant in Old Main Road in Hillcrest in two months.

In December, Oscars Restaurant was held up and robbed while patrons were in the restaurant.

Police spokesperson Captain Thulani Zwane con­ firmed the incident.

He said Hillcrest police was investigating a case of business robbery and no arrest had been made at this stage.

Correlation and Causation are not the same I SAW a client recently who insisted that her pet’s symptoms had worsened within a day of the referring vet giving a particular antibiotic injection.

No matter how many times I ex­ plained it, she wouldn’t hear any argu­ ment to the contrary!

Correlation doesn’t mean cause,

only occurring in the same scenario. For example thunder and lightning are cor­ related, but one does not cause the other – they are both caused by other atmospheric phenomena.

To prove causation, you must fulfil more than just one criterion. The most common one used is temporal relation­ ship i.e. timing ­ A preceded B so A caused B. Uh­uh – not necessarily true.

The criteria most widely used are: 1. The STRENGTH of the association (if it’s something measurable); 2. How CONSISTENTLY A causes B, even

in different scenarios eg the same side effect of a drug in different species; 3. SPECIFICITY – causation if very likely ifaveryspecificeffectoccursinaveryspe­ cific organ or animal, with no other likely explanation – very often forgotten; 4. TIMING – as mentioned above, often the only one many people consider, to their detriment; 5. A greater exposure (eg higher dose of radiation) should lead to a greater inci­ dence of the effect (in this example, can­ cer) – the so­called “BIOLOGICAL GRADI­ ENT”;

HELL Hillcrest, a local service station that says it is at the forefront of creating a safer community, held a safety campaign in Hillcrest this month, addressing the rules in place at the forecourt at garages.

According to owner Dave Douthwaite, more often than not drivers are in a hurry and forget to switch their cars off when they stop to fill up with petrol, or they decide to make a quick cellphone call while filling up.

Douthwaite said that these are extremely dangerous practices and could endanger the life of the driver and those around them.

“A petrol station is an extremely volatile environment, with an average

of 50 to 100 000 litres of fuel stored in tanks under the site. There’s a one in a million chance of those vapours igniting. Don’t be that one,” he said.

“All it takes is one spark to ignite, and we don’t want that to happen.”

Douthwaite offered rules and regulations to customers to ensure they do not become a statistic to service station hazards.

“The number one rule is no smoking, lighting-up or making an open flame at a garage as it can ignite the fumes, which can then pull back into the source.”

He said that motorists that stop to fill up need to turn off their vehicles.

“Another major rule is to never use mobile phones while filling fuel.

“Cellphones give off a spark which can in turn ignite the vapours in the

air,” said Douthwaite.

When filling fuel into a container, Douthwaite said, only use approved containers, which must either be placed on the ground during the filling process or earthed.

“The approved containers are necessary as ordinary bottles give off static,” he added.

“Bikers are also required to dismount when refuelling as a simple mistake could cost one their life.”

He added that driving safely in the forecourt should be practised at all times.

“There are many times where pedestrians are nearly knocked over by speeding motorists.

“Let us all play an active part in keeping our community safe,” he concluded.

IFgrowing aninvasivealienplant (IAP) in your back yard seems to simply be a lawful act to beautify your garden, think again.

Kloof Conservancy, in conjunction with the Keep Kloof Beautiful Association, has deemed this practice illegal, and offenders could face a hefty fine.

According to Paolo Candotti, chairman of Kloof Conservancy, IAPs are widely considered a major threat to biodiversity, human livelihoodandeconomicdevelopment.

He said that IAPs cost South Africans tens of billions of rand annually in lost agricultural productivity and resources spent on management of the plants.

“Many IAPs are products of unwise and unintentional plant introductions, but if new invasions are discovered before they are well established, eradication is possible and management costs can be reduced,” he said.

He said that two IAP (Lollipop Climber and Himalayan Raspberry) seem to be ‘popping-up’ in

Hillcrest and Kloof and residents are urged to remove them from their gardens.

“The Lollipop Climber was first reported about three years ago, but unfortunately we may be losing the battle as we are seeing it all over Kloof. We would dearly like to stop this plant before it enters Krantzkloof Nature Reserve, because if we don’t it will become very difficult to control,” said Candotti.

“The Himalayan Raspberry is a new invader which has appeared in the Hillcrest area and we would like to eradicate it before it spreads any further.”

Candotti said that more often than not residents are unaware that illegal trees are growing right on their doorsteps.

“Having an illegal tree in one’s garden is a criminal offence and I am urging the community to identify these trees and have them removed.”

Upper Highway schools prioritise sun safety

KALISHA NAICKER

A

S temperatures soar in Durban, so does the risk of children getting sunburnt or, worse, contracting cancer.

Nivea Sun and SunSavvy - an organisation started by Hillcrest moms Donna Short and Hayleigh Bott - have started with the installation of sunscreen dispensers filled with Nivea Sun Moisturising Sun Spray SPF 50 in school classrooms and outdoor play areas.

The project, named Sun Safe, begins in KwaZulu-Natal, with long term plans to roll-out across South Africa.

The serviced dispensers will make sunscreen instantly accessible when and where it is needed.

Teachers will be encouraged to make sure children apply sunscreen before going outdoors to play or engaging in sport.

Children will be educated on the dangers of sunburn and how to keep themselves protected.

The Skin Cancer Foundation of South Africa (SCFSA), which supports the initiative, points out that skin can-

cer is not only the most common form of cancer worldwide, but that South Africa has one of the highest incidents.

A child’s skin is thinner than an adult’s and far more sensitive, which means children are vulnerable to more sun damage within a shorter space of time.

In fact, research shows that the community gets most of their total lifetime of sun exposure before turning 18 years old.

The SCFSA says that skin cancer is a highly preventable lifestyle disease, which is in dire need of increased public awareness and education, particularly in terms of sun protection and skin cancer prevention.

According to the duo, many mums don’t have the time or forget to apply sunscreen before their children leave for school.

“Even though some mums may send sunscreen to school with their children, it seldom comes out of the child’s schoolbag.

“This leaves children exposed to damaging UV rays at the most dangerous time of day (between 10am

SunSavvy teams up with NIVEA to make sun­ screen available to children at school.

“Considering that most of us receive our total lifetime of sun exposure before we turn 18 years old, this is putting children at substantial health risk,” added Bott.

Some schools in KwaZulu-Natal have already got behind the project, including Hillcrest-based Kidz Academy Day Care, Curro HCA Hillcrest, Lucky Bean Playschool and Chatterbox Preschool as well as Kloof-based Happy Days Pre Primary, Happy Valley Educentre and Small World Nursery School.

The aim is to have more schools sign up in months to follow.

After all, schools are the areas where healthy behaviours are taught and teachers play a major role in enhancing children's knowledge, attitudes and behaviour.

The Sun Safe School Programme is in full swing with installation of sunscreen dispensers taking place in registered Sun Safe school classrooms.

STEPH MCLENNAN steph@expressmedia.co.za

The greatest of these, allegedly, is love JUST a couple of months after we bid farewell to the pervy man in red from the North Pole, Hallmark and florists the world over demand more of our money for heart­shaped chocolates, flowers which are marked up 300 per cent and cards with pre­ printed sentiments from Helen Steiner Rice and others of her ilk.

Being the product of a broken home, with many failed relationships and the odd restraining order in my wake, I have plenty of reasons to be cynical about love. However, like Christians get up­ set about the commercialisation of Christmas, I get inexplicably angry when corporate greed capitalis­ es upon love, transforming it into another excuse to go further into one’s overdraft.

This is not to say that I am gullible enough to believe that love comes freely. There are gifts to be bought, dates to be paid for, weddings to be bank­ rupted by, and unless you’re one of the lucky ones, a messy divorce and alimony to follow.

I have often wondered how Valentine’s Day is cel­ ebrated in polygamous societies. Does our es­ teemed president make a week out of it, taking out one wife every evening at taxpayers’ expense? Or does he spoil a different wife every year? Perhaps he hosts an annual game of poker with his wives, the winner of which is showered with presidential pleasures on the 14th. I can only assume that in the case of polyamorous relationships, the traditional dinner for two turns into a rather more sociable occa­ sion. Singlepeople,Ibelieveshouldfollowtheexam­ ple of a friend of mine, who hosts an anti­Valen­ tines­day party every year. When surrounded by the nauseating heightened levels of love, lust and ex­ penditure, it’s better to be out and about with friends than home alone snivelling into your worn copy of Bridget Jones’ diary.

After this, there is Easter to be endured, with chil­ dren hyped up on chocolate running amok around our neighbourhoods. Thereafter, we have the elec­ tions and accompanying shenanigans. But maybe, if we’re lucky, we will get a few months of peace after that before the fireworks start.

A job, a lady, and her vajacial

LADY is a bit of a filthy word today amongst the politically correct and that other species that leaves me reaching for my trusty axe, liberals.

The word is often spit out by the aboveas if to epitomise a subservient, delicate petal, sitting at home waiting for her husband, combing her gener­ ous locks while whipping up three course meals, allowing herself to titter at the excitement of her spouse’s bi­ monthly gift of the missionary posi­ tion.

Being called a lady today is global anathema; possibly because it doesn’t sell very well.

Values (something we associate with ladies) hardly titillate the senses or wallet as readily as being able to pick up the latest chick­mag and read stimulating articles about Brazilian waxes, new and improved ways to or­ gasm or a vajacial, which for the uninformed, is a facial for the vagina.

Yes, gentle reader, you read cor­ rectly: The latest thing in female

beauty treatments is a deep cleanse for your lady garden.

At this point I need to state that I did not learn ofvajacialsthroughexpe­ rience.

Rather, I learned of this ‘procedure’ through an article on the internet which, due to my incredulity, led to an­ other write­up and another, until I had satisfied myself that indeed, steam­ ing one’s heavenly pond is apparently essential to being a happy, fulfilled woman.

Hot on the heels of the precious vajacial is the increase in female blog­ gers I have stumbled upon in the last week that make it their mission to berate women who are not scaling the blessed corporate ladder in their Louboutins.

To paraphrase one troglodyte, “We fought long and hard to be able to play on an even field with men; wom­ en who stay at home to raise children set the movement back decades.�

Evidently late for her vajacial ap­

pointment and plagued with itching, the blogger excretes a Radical Femi­ nism 101 lesson in which she tries to bully women who voluntarily remain home to raise their children or work part­time into getting out there and obliterating the gonads of anything cursed with testosterone.

While we may think that offering their lady gardens up to the altar of faux beauty treatments and angry fe­ male clots has become the guiding light for young women, research indi­ cates that millennials in particular are pushing against the tide of angst and consumerism to embrace tradi­ tionalism.

According to Forbes, women are al­ so leading a new ‘quiet revolution’ in which they give up corporate climbing to work from home, although not necessarily as ‘home­makers’, but entrepreneurs.

And in her book Lean In, Face­ book’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, cites a study indicating

DESIREE ERASMUS that “43% of highly qualified women with children are leaving careers or off­ramping for a period of time.�

Job satisfaction and quality of life are climbing steadily to overtake the desire for lots of things, and having the ability to raise children while working for oneself ­ or simply working for oneself ­ is an appealing option.

This slow tide of change should bring a wave of encouragement to the craven and cynical amongst us whoweep at the mention of anything vajacialesque or feministesque.

But it should also remind us that the traditional values associated with being a lady, which have been smirked at for so long, such as self­respect, diligence, temperance, morals ­ still hold weight.

They are now actively being sought by a new kind of woman, who is again comfortable and courageous enough to place character and family above the goddess of self­absorp­ tion.

Steph Mclennan’s columns = wickedly witty I AM writing to tell you how much I love reading Steph Mclennan's col­ umns every week.

I was quite amused to read the let­ ter written by Cristine Loubser yester­ day. I guess there is ‘one in every crowd’.

I am a middle aged mum with a three­year­old son who was diag­ nosed with cancer when he'd just

turned two.

We've had enough tears and heartache to last us a lifetime. Most of 2013 was made up of endless hospital stays and lots of sickness and ‘pricks’ (as Rorke calls his injections).

There is a lot of sadness and suf­ fering in this country as it is. If some­ one like Steph can lighten our day and bring a smile then GO STEPH is what

I say. Steph does not mean any ill feel­ ing to anyone nor does she undermine anyone's professional capabilities.

She is merely seeing it from a hu­ morous side.

So to you Cristina Loubser, see the glass as half full, lighten­up and learn to laugh at life or you could just end up a very sad and lonely women.

Steph gives her subject matter a

breath of fresh air. Our papers are so filled with doom, gloom and negativi­ ty that it is so refreshing to read a col­ umn written by someone with such a wicked sense of humour and fantastic command of the English language.

Steph I applaud you and hope to continue reading your wit for many years to come.

NTERNATIONAL Childhood Cancer Awareness Day is coming up on 15 February.

Through its ‘Cupcakes of HOPE’ project, NPO Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer sees volunteers, sponsors and bakers sharetheir love of baking in support of a great cause.

In 2012, Sandy Cipriano registered Cupcakes of HOPE, and soon thereafter the first South African First National Cupcake Day 4 Kids with Cancer took place.

This is a completely community-driven project.

The aim is to create awareness and raise funds for children with cancer through baking cup-

cakes.

“Cupcakes of HOPE was able to assist more than 100 children in 2013.

“The funds raised go towards paying for their medical treatments, travelling costs, school fees, birthday celebrations and day-to-day expenses.

“We also do hospital visits and spoil the patients and staff with lovely cupcakes.

“It is great to see the smiles on children’s faces when they see a cupcake,” says Cipriano.

Cupcakes of HOPE has donated to 13 different charities, including CHOC, Cansa TLC, The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust and The Sunflower Fund.

The community can spread

Newton Johnson is committed to a natural wine­making process. They be­ lieve this is the only way in which you will discover the individuality in their wines.

Creating wines with a ‘sense of place’ is an old world philosophy in which the owners firmly believe.

In the cellar, wine makers use gravity to avoid mechanical pumping, and do not add any yeast to their fermentations in order to utilise the indigenous strains from the vineyard.

Sauvignon Blanc 2013 The Hemel­en­Aarde and Elgin valleys have for a time been admired for their buoyant, fresh and aromatic white wines.

Wine makers take a more artful approach with this blend, aspiring to create a wine with more beauty than exuberance.

Soil­type combinations from these various vineyards within the valleys produce a spec­ trum of flavour.

These fine flavours were well complement­ ed with Sauvignon originating from clay­based soils further down.

Clay in contrast produces wines that may initially seem quite indistinct on the nose, slow­ ly producing aromatics of tropical fruits, and it is the luxurious texture in the mouth that is its greatest asset.

Full Stop Rock Ask any surfer that has surfed at Cape St. Fran­ cis, immortalized in Bruce Brown’s 1966 movie The Endless Summer as “the perfect wave”, and they will tell you about the chunk of terre, called FULL STOP ROCK that stands in the path of the wave between you and surfing Nir­ vana.

This was the owner’s father’s old surfing haunt in the 60s and unwisely the locale of his honeymoon.

The wine is an almost mineral style of wine with dark crimson fruit, a great array of spice and perfume flavours, and cashmere­textured tannins to match.

Mad about voices

>> Music director comes out of retirement to bring back melody to the Upper Highway Area KALISHA NAICKER

A

LEADING South African opera singer and Gillitts resident is coming out of retirement to help revive the art of voice training in her community.

Soprano Colleen Philp retired three years ago as musical director of the Durban Opera school (Osca) and says she has noticed that voice training has almost vanished in the Highway area.

Philp has taught singing for 31 years - initially privately and then by invitation at the Performing Arts Department of the Natal Technikon when it opened in 1977.

“Music and song is my life. I can’t imagine my life without it,” she said.

In 1982 she was invited to teach the skill at the University of Natal and was approached shortly thereafter to join the part-time staff of then University of Durban-Westville.

She lectured on a full time basis at the University of Natal, was the senior lecturer in Voice in the Opera School and Voice Academy and was instrumental in the opening of OSCA. Many of her pupils have won prestigious scholarships to further their studies overseas at Indiana, Juilliard and Manhattan Schools of Music in the USA and the Mirelli Freni School in Italy.

Other students are performing professionally both nationally and internationally in opera, oratorio, musical theatre, gospel, jazz and cabaret.

Philp has sung in extensive concert and oratorio work with both resident and visiting conductors around South Africa.

She also toured Germany in 1990

performing in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Braunschweig and East Germany and culminating in a concert in the auspicious Beethoven House in Bonn on behalf of the South African Embassy.

As a recording artist she broadcast for the SABC for 25 years.

She has performed solo roles in opera, operetta and musical theatre and in many concert performances of opera and operetta with various orchestras.

In addition to her teaching and performing, Philp released a CD to raise funds for children orphaned by Aids and has many recordings of her concerts and broadcasts.

She officiated on the panel of judges for the final SABC Music Prize Competition, for the Finals of the ATKV Forte Competition and on the panel for SAMRO’S 2003 Overseas Scholarship Competition.

Philp receives frequent requests to adjudicate in music festivals and eisteddfods and makes herself available for master classes and workshops.

She is now coming out of retirement due to the great shortage of singing teachersinKwaZulu-Nataland will be teaching at her home in Gillitts.

“To be a good singer one has to have a good ear, the singer needs to possess something in their heart they want to give and the ability to communicate with the audience,” she said.

Philp’s lessons will be offered on an individual basis and the pupil will be assessed first.

Lessons are for those aged 15 upwards. To find out more about the lessons or to make a booking, contact Colleen on 083 319 3385 or email cphilp@telkomsa.net.

MANY OF HER PUPILS HAVE WON PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARSHIPS TO FURTHER THEIR STUDIES OVER­ SEAS AT INDIANA, JUILLIARD AND MANHATTAN SCHOOLS OF MUSIC.

Hillcrest spots adopted by businesses KALISHA NAICKER

kalisha@witness.co.za

THE Keep Hillcrest Beautiful Association is “delighted” with two AdoptA-Spot areas approved by Ethekwini.

These have been adopted by Miles Steenhuisen, a long-time supporter of KHBA, and Jenny Barker, owner of Engen Heritage Motors.

These community minded folk have sponsored their areas and in doing so will maintain them for the public to enjoy.

Marge Mitchell of KHBA said it is the wish of the KHBA that more commercial enterprises along Old Main Road Adopt-A-Spot and thus make a commitment to plant-up the areas in front of their property and thereafter maintain them.

“Longmynd has recently changed hands and Chris Dalziel has done an amazing job with their verge.

“He is now attending to the Marriott’s building opposite the Aids Centre and The Colony has now also done a magnificent verge in Old Main Road,” she added. To adopt-a-spot or to support the KHBA,contact Marge Mitchell on 083 419 3807 or Jean Jooste 082 895 0540.

T MARY'S DSG pupils Lauren Varty, Chantal BothaandSarahCluver(deputy head girl for 2014) together with teachers Nicky Simpson and Gail Main have signed up to participate in the 2014 Dusi Canoe Marathon to raise funds for CHOC (Childhood Haemotology Oncology Clinics). Sarah will be paddling with her dad, Guy Cluver, while Chantal joins her dad Marco Botha, and Nicky and Gail team up together.

The girl’s original fund-raising initiative thus far includes Guy Cluver from Bellevue cafe is donating R5 to CHOC for every milkshake bought by a St Mary’s girl in uniform.

Mr. Manley, the school headmaster, was put to the test in a canoe down Ernie Pierce

Weir and the adventure was filmed. The video was shown at school, up to the “critical” moment of reaching the bottom, and pupils could pay R5 to guess whether Mr. Manley remained in the canoe or capsized. The end of the video will be shown in assembly on Friday and a winner will be announced.

Their Dusi boats are being signed on the bottom by fellow pupils at school for R5. If 200 signatures are collected in a week, St Mary’s teachers Miss Simpson and Miss Mann will join the school running club and run through the streets of Kloof carrying the boat for the afternoon.

The school had the opportunity to water bomb Sarah and the head of high school sport, Mr Grant Price, while they were in the school pool, at a cost of R5.
