According to Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, there are signs you could look out for if you suspect a plant or tree has been poisoned. “A tree or plant that’s been poisoned will die suddenly and typically show signs of deterioration within one to three weeks. Symptoms may include wilting, dry and yellowing leaves. These could be observed in part of or around the entire plant,” Badroodien adds. Poison is usually applied to plants with overhead spray; ground application or trunk application; or injection. Badroodien says some poisons are toxic for humans if touched or consumed. “Soil and groundwater may also be pollut-

ed if the poison is applied to the soil. However, the health risks are relatively low for humans if they don’t come into direct contact with the poison,” he says. If the cause is detected early, the plant or tree might be nurtured back to health by taking the necessary precautions such as using a spray bottle with clean water to wash off the infected area, irrigating normally, and applying light fertilizer or foliar, the City advises. For private property, residents may report the loss of trees and shrubs to their police station. Vandalism of trees on City property is an infringement of the City’s bylaws. V Members of the public who may have any information on the poisoning of trees can send an email to the City Arborist at arborist@capetown.gov.za or call the City’s emergency number by phoning 107 from a landline, or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.

Cilliers urges the community to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity and she says the police also plan to increase their stop-and-searches in the early hours of the morning. “If we see people moving around at a certain time of night and if we find something on him or her, like a garden sprayer, then the person must explain why they have it on them,” Cilliers adds. Although the motivation behind the poisoning of trees or plants on private property is open to speculation, the City of Cape Town says, that based on similar incidents regarding the poisoning of gum trees on City land, it is aware that situations do arise where plants or trees are intentionally damaged by the public due to impaired views by leaves and branches, leaf, flower or fruit litter, roots cracking property foundations, trees standing in the way of developments, visibil-

oisoned! Danger! This tree/creeper appears to have been poisoned by an extremely toxic foliar spray. Please stay clear! Saps are investigating,” read signs displayed on the perimeter walls of a property located on the corner of Tokai and Myrtle roads. This property belongs to Tokai resident Arthur McKey who suspects that his bougainvillaea creeper has been poisoned by a spiteful passerby. According to McKey, the once-thriving creeper just suddenly withered and died a few weeks ago. “The walls were going to be covered with beautiful overhanging bougainvillaea creepers (all different colours) to cheer up my neighbours and me during these difficult Covid-19 times. This creeper was going to be my ‘pièce de résistance’,” McKey adds. He claims this is not the first time his verge garden has been targeted. Since 2003, the avid gardener has been systematically transforming the once bare Tokai corner into a colourful garden patch. He claims, in the early days, heads of flowers were snapped off and left for him to find in the morning. About two years ago, he claims, two large Cape Coastal oaks facing towards his property were also poisoned. “My main concern is for the children and the workers in the area who regularly avail themselves of all the guava and pomegranate fruitfall which, when in season, lies thick on the ground,” he adds. McKey has reported the latest case to the police. Colonel June Cilliers, Kirstenhof police station commander, confirms that a report has been lodged for the record. She says, although no other residents have recently reported incidents of suspected plant or tree poisoning at their properties, it was a problem in the Tokai area a few years ago and that she is concerned it might flare up again. She says the concern exists that these poisons might hold a danger for children or pets who might accidentally come into contact with them.

Happy thoughts bring real results NETTALIE VILJOEN

group of residents, operating under the banner of the Peter Pan Movement, are donating their time and labour to help restore Cape Town tourism sites to their former pristine beauty – one prominent landmark at a time. About four months ago, during the initial lockdown, Greg Heathcote-Marks, Craig Sobotker and Seraj Toefy noticed the rapidly decaying outdoor spaces within the city. Instead of complaining and being negative about it, the three old school mates, who first met at Waldorf Constantia in 1987, decided to act and started cleaning. “We sent out mailers to our family and friends and so the Peter Pan Movement sprang into life,” Heathcote-Marks says. The group meets every fortnight, usually on a Thursday at 17:30, and work hard for an hour – picking up litter, mowing lawns and cleaning outdoor spaces. In acknowledgement of the fact that the city relies heavily on tourism, they pick prominent city landmarks, such as parks, heritage sites and communal spaces to clean up. Six residents joined in on the first initiative held in Roeland Street near Parliament about three months ago. “We pick landmarks that we feel need to be looked after to encourage people to want to join us and also to ensure tourism sites are well looked after,” Heathcote-Marks explains. Since then, the movement has done five such clean-ups with the sixth planned for Thursday 5 November. The most recent campaign took place at the Wynberg Military Base on Wednesday 21 October. “It is a landmark that I used to walk past as a young boy and one which used to be pristinely maintained – a base which now looks deserted and awful. For years now the fence line and

According to Heathcote-Marks, the number of people who participate in the cleanups fluctuates up to 20. “But we are hopeful with more publicity, more people will join us,” he adds.

Each person who assists supplies their own rubbish bags and gloves. Heathcote-Marks explains that, once the rubbish is collected, they usually put the black bags into the green municipal bins along the road. “When this isn’t possible, I use my landscaping bakkie and trailer and take

all the refuse to the municipal dump at my own cost,” he says. The location of the next clean-up will be decided on over the next few days and announced on the movement’s Facebook page. V Residents who would like to join can either go to the Facebook page or email greg@hedgehogs.co.za.

A group of volunteers are making a difference in the lives of the people living within the Victoria Lodge and Cafda Village communities – doing little bits of good where they can. Restoring Hope is a non-profit organisation (NPO) established in 2015 by Devin Frans, Mikhail Kroutz, Kelly Jacobs and Marlon Saaiman, all young and optimistic about the future and determined to bring about positive change and hope to previously disadvantaged communities. The group now has seven core members who are working and studying but manage to juggle a schedule around everyone’s “free” time. They carry out a feeding relief scheme and other intervention programmes, assisted by an additional 30 volunteers who help them tackle challenges that face the community; from unemployment and hunger through to drug and alcohol abuse, lack of youth development and gender-based violence.

One of the greatest needs within the community is the support, mentorship and education of children which is why the Kids Fellowship Programme was started to provide development structure to children, ages two to 18. “The programme provides a platform for kids to understand how they can reach their full potential through learning, engagement and expressing themselves through various life skills and recreation activities,” explains Dale Hendricks, director of Restoring Hope. An important part of the programme includes a meal for the children and afternoon clubs held twice a week. Local children’s indoor play-park and restaurant – Playstation by Rush – has become an important part of the team helping to give children a hand up. Damon Walmsley, general manager of Playstation by Rush, says they met Frans, one of the founders of Restoring Hope, at

Rush, the company’s indoor trampoline park. After seeing his passion, Walmsley decided to help. “With the opening of our indoor playpark, aimed at children ages two to 13 and located close to the communities Restoring Hope work with, we decided to turn some of the profits from play into plates of food,” explains Walmsley. Now every Wednesday, its restaurant staff prepares a mince and vegetable stew with rice to help feed the community. Playstation is also planning a fun “play date” for the children on the programme. The children will be hosted at the venue where they will enjoy two hours of play exploring the adventure maze with its challenging levels, swing bridges, nooks and crannies. Or tackling the 4m climbing wall, cycling on the 40m bike track and sliding down the 6m long slides. Restoring Hope is not formally funded, but relies on the generosity of local businesses, organisations and residents. He says without the key role players, such as the volunteers, Red Cross Disaster Relief and others, this would not be possible. The Covid-19 lockdown highlighted and brought about additional challenges for the organisation, especially in terms of feeding the community who were unable to finance a daily meal due to economic challenges. “We launched a feeding relief kitchen in the community, providing lunch for 1 500 hungry children and residents each week day during the initial three months of lockdown. This has now been reduced to three meals a week for 100 adults and 40 children,” says Hendricks. The NPO has also put other programmes in place; some are seasonal, such as the blanket and clothing drive during winter. During winter, it was able to provide over 300 vulnerable and struggling citizens with blankets and food. “The Toiletry and Sanitary Pack drive, which formed part of Women’s Month, was aimed at helping women and children who have been victims of abuse and genderbased violence,” he adds.

PLUMSTEAD | SOUTHFIELD

Fears mount as offerings dry up NETTALIE VILJOEN

he founder of a private feeding scheme in Southfield is concerned that she will have to start turning away hungry residents as donations begin to dwindle. About eight weeks ago, Beverley Strong (60), the deputy chair of the Naruna Estate Residents’ Association (NERA) in Plumstead, took it upon herself to feed the struggling occupants of 156 government-owned units located between Dick Burton and Victoria roads in Southfield. Beneficiaries are mostly elderly, disabled and single mothers, most of whom are unemployed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Beverley Strong.

Once a week on Sundays, depending on the donations received, Strong and her husband, Peter (57), feeds people from their driveway. She says she began doing this after an elderly couple who have been living in the community for many years approached her. They informed her of their struggles to feed themselves. She helped them with some basic groceries. “Then I started asking people on Facebook for food donations and our local Sunday school teacher, Claire Liddell, from St Pius Catholic Church and the Cubs teacher, Sue Viljoen, did a bit of a food drive for me and so my feeding scheme was born,” she explains. Having received quite a lot of vegetable donations at first, Strong started off with making soup and, she says, she would just buy the bread herself. “Some weeks I get donations of various items and by Friday I see what I can put together but, generally, I end up having to spend my own money which I can ill afford. For the past three Sundays or so I have been making a soya-based stew with veg and rice,” she adds. Strong, who is in remission from colon cancer, fosters her two grandchildren. She says although money is tight, she and her husband, who receives a disability grant, are doing what they can to help the needy. She says she is especially grateful for her husband’s help in the kitchen on Sundays. “Peter helps tremendously by stirring the pots for me and does all the washing up afterwards as I have chronic arthritis in my left shoulder and cannot do this alone.” According to Strong, residents have now come to depend on this meal and arrive from noon on a Sunday. However, she says donations have dwindled to almost noth-

ing. “The community are so reliant on this food that even after it is finished I still have those arriving to ask for something to eat. I cannot imagine having to turn them away empty-handed,” says Strong. She is appealing for help to keep the scheme going. “Every little bit is so much appreciated and anyone is welcome to pop down to my home on a Sunday to see what we do,” she adds. She is also asking for assistance to help organise a Christmas party for 51 children from the community under the age of 14. “We have been given permission to use our local scout hall, so I want to put together some

kind of a Christmas party for them – a little present each maybe and some sweets. We are desperately needing gifts for the children – toys of any kind, perhaps even slightly damaged ones – would be wonderful,” Strong says. She would also like to thank everyone who has helped so far. “Especially to Ronnie Florus who donated a brand new two-plate gas stove and gas bottle without which we wouldn’t be able to cook as much as we do. Also thank you to the Masterman family who donated two large pots.” V Call or WhatsApp Strong on 074 341 8252 to assist.

KENILWORTH

Woodwork initiative for schools NETTALIE VILJOEN

essons learnt while teaching woodwork skills online during the national lockdown will now benefit school leavers for years to come. MyWoodSkills, a non-profit, communitybased skills development initiative with its workshop based in Kenilworth, invited unemployed people from all communities to enrol for its free cupboard building online course when the national lockdown was first announced in March. Adopting the power of distance learning using smartphone technology, course participation grew from 12 to 170 learners in just two weeks. Johan Schronen, MyWoodSkills course co-ordinator, says, at the time, they heard from parents and teachers that there was also a need for such a course amongst high school learners wanting to know more about career and small business possibilities in the engineered wood (melamine board products), furniture-making world. On Monday 20 July, MyWoodSkills and a Western Cape Education Department (WCED) management team met, greenlighting the rollout of a pilot programme at Kassselsvlei High School in Bellville South and Bishops School of Skills in Bishop Lavis. This will pave the way for a bigger programme in 2021. Neil Simons, a senior educational specialist and advisor in civil tech and engineering graphics and design at the WCED, believes this initiative can be expanded to learners not only in technical schools as it is a skill that anybody can learn. “It is a brilliant idea to skill our learners if you look at the unemployment rate. The psycho-social issues can be addressed in this way only if more private companies or cor-

porates can launch these type of interventions in our communities,” Simons says. A strong entrepreneurial thread runs through the courses offered. “MyWoodSkills wants to encourage young people to think beyond just becoming employees and extend their dreams to become employers one day,” says Schronen. The pilot programme will kick off on Thursday 5 November, at both schools. Wayne Williams, the woodworks teacher at Bishops, says this type of course greatly motivates learner participation. “If you see pieces of wood laying in front of you and then, a few hours later, you see a nice piece of furniture that you have built, that makes learners want to come to classes on a daily basis.” Rory Petersen is the civil technology teacher at Kasselsvlei Secondary. Petersen explains woodworking is the subject’s practical component. He says what excites learners most about the course is that it could help them to be their own boss one day. “What I try and teach them is that you can take what you have learnt at school further to become self-sufficient. Essentially, they could go out and start their own business,” says Petersen. MyWoodSkills’ courses include a short introductory course on Saturday mornings when participants will learn and build bathroom wall cupboards. Its intermediate course, which runs over about three weeks, involves online distance learning modules leading up to a practical session during which students will build a bedside cupboard or a grandfather clock. The advanced course includes online modules, practical workshops and actual work experience at work sites, installing kitchen or bedroom cupboards for clients.

Schronen explains that their courses are “blended”, combining a series of modules online, including study modules, tests, tasks and assessments with some face-to-face workshops and a final practical exam. “But the gem of our initiative was born out of necessity. We switched from video tutorials to photo books, in an ebook format, to reduce data consumption during the lockdown. This resulted in a huge saving for our learners,” Schronen says. Learners who successfully complete the course will receive certificates of competence. Mywoodskills is in the process of applying to the proper authorities for accreditation as an official skills programme so that students can earn credits towards a furniture-making qualification. Schronen says none of this would have been possible without the support of Rutherford Makita Power Tools, a brand leader in power tools, and PG Bison, a manufacturer of particleboard, medium-density fibre- Woodwork enthusiasts learn how to assemble a bathroom board and decorative wood- cabinet during a recent Mywoodskills short course held in based panel products.

HOLIDAY PLANS

Bookings for City’s resorts are open O

n Tuesday 22 September, People’s Post reported that the City of Cape Town’s resorts were still preparing to reopen and were not yet taking bookings (“City gets ready to welcome back guests at 13 holiday resorts”). With bookings usually opening on 1 September, this significant delay could be attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic. Locals who are sick of staring at the inside walls of their homes can breathe a sigh of relief as bookings opened yesterday, Monday 2 November, with availability from Tuesday 1 December. In a statement from the City of Cape Town,

it was explained that limits will be placed on the number of guests who will be allowed at each resort. “Early booking is essential as resorts will also only be booked to a 50% capacity. Unfortunately, camping sites will be closed due to the health risks,” the statement read. The Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien said upon consideration of recent medical research regarding Covid-19, City resorts will require guests to bring their own bedding and towels to mitigate the risk of contracting the virus. “The virus can remain viable for up to

72 hours on plastic and stainless steel. It is, therefore, recommended that a gap of at least five days is left between bookings of chalets. This would allow for sufficient cleaning time and ventilation of the chalet,” he says, adding that all non-essential items will be removed from rooms. According to the City, staff will be on-site at communal areas to attend to the continuous cleaning and sanitising. However, it is important that the public takes responsibility for sanitising hands and the surfaces that they use regularly, especially when utilising play equipment, as

it will not be practical for resort staff to sanitise equipment after each person, based on the predicted frequency of use. The booking of chalets between the period of Tuesday 1 and Monday 14 December will have no restrictions in terms of the minimum number of days that have to be reserved. Clients will, however, be required to book a chalet for a minimum of seven days during the peak period of Tuesday 15 December to Friday 15 January.

THEATRE

Love and healing at the Baxter Z

akes Mda’s acclaimed first novel, Ways of Dying, will be presented by the Baxter Theatre and UCT’s Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies (CTDPS), at the Baxter Flipside for six performances only. Adapted and directed by Lara Foot, who directed the work 20 years ago at The Market Theatre, the cast is made up of 14 fourth-year students from the CTDPS. The team comprises of Mdu Kweyama (direction and choreography), Bongile Mantsai (direction and music) with set design by Patrick Curtis, lighting design by Mannie Manim and costume design by Leigh Bishop.

“The CTDPS is thrilled to be collaborating with The Baxter on our final fourthyear production,” says Sara Matchet, head of CTDPS. “2020 has proved to be exceptionally challenging in terms of teaching in the performing and creative arts departments at UCT. The loss of face-to-face contact teaching due to the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted our programmes enormously.” She continues: “The collaboration with The Baxter and with Lara Foot as director promises to offer our graduating acting students an experience that will make up for what has been lost. And a theatrical treat for local audiences to experience this work

and creatives involved.” The cast comprises Liam Walsh, Tamzin Williams, Megan Tromp, Francis SholtoDouglas, Klara Schoonraad, Emma-Jane Pieters, Bokang Ntsutle, Basetsana Motloung, Tshiamo Moretlwe, Tebatso Molapo, Cullum McCormack, Brett Ilsley, Anathi Godlo and Sam Alexander. The story follows Toloki, an eccentric and dignified professional mourner, who meets his childhood friend Noria at her son’s funeral. They fall in love and move in together, each one teaching the other how to heal and live. Ways of Dying received the M-Net Book

prize, and it was shortlisted for the Central News Agency (CNA) Award and a Noma Award. Some of Mda’s other works include The Heart of Redness, Our Lady of Benoni and The Zulus of New York. With only six performances from Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 November at 19:00, ticket prices are R75 and R50 for students. All performances will be limited to 50% capacity, with all Covid-19 protocols observed as regulated at level one lockdown restrictions. Audiences are advised to arrive an hour before the start of the show. V Booking Webtickets or at Pick n Pay stores. For school discounts: Carmen Kearns on 021 680 3993.

Garden ‘to keep matrics safe’ Series boosts matriculants All learners up to Grade 12 can enter Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden for free on Mondays to Fridays until Tuesday 15 December. This comes in the wake of a letter sent out by a group of doctors advising schools in the Peninsula on how best to prevent and manage Covid-19 in the school setting. The letter, sent out on Tuesday 13 October, recommends limiting socialising outside the school and meeting a few friends in an open space such as Kirstenbosch, or other open spaces in the city. In response, and in a bid to keep matric learners safe for their exams, Kirstenbosch decided to wave the entry fee for learners on weekdays. Upon arrival at the Kirstenbosch ticket office, learners can ask for free entry and a free entry ticket will be issued. Kirstenbosch is open every day, from 08:00 to 19:00 in summer. Garden entrance fees for adults are R75; SA senior citizens (with ID): free on Tuesdays except on public holidays; RSA students (with student card): R40; learners (Grade R – up until matric): free on Mondays to Fridays. V Garden entry tickets can be purchased at the ticket office or you can book and pay tickets online at Webtickets. For more information, contact Kirstenbosch on 021 799 8783.

Suidoosterfees promises ample laughter for lockdown blues In November some of South Africa’s top comedians will be in action on the Suidoosterfees stage. Marc Lottering, Schalk Bezuidenhout, Shimmy Isaacs, Solomon Cupido and Melt Sieberhagen are only a few names on the new programme after the original festival had to be postponed due to the lockdown in March. The new compact festival, with no less impact, will be presented in a safe drive-in format at the kykNET Atlantic Drive-in at Atlantic Film Studios in Montague Gardens. Audiences can now enjoy shows from the

comfort and safety of their cars while watching shows on the big screen. In Lottering on Lockdown on Friday 13 November 20:00, the inimitable Marc Lottering will share all the juicy info about his adventures while being confined at home during the pandemic. His hilarious take on online meetings and home-schooling is surely not to be missed. Lag my kla’, with Solomon Cupido, Rezah Forbes, Shimmy Isaacs, Schalk Bezuidenhout, Wayne McKay, Melt Sieberhagen and Alfred Adriaan, emanates from an online

competition that was launched to identify and develop the talents of young, upcoming comedians. The show, presented in collaboration with Son newspaper, kykNET and Suidoosterfees, is scheduled for Thursday 5 November at 20:00. Competition winners will join their mentors – Isaacs, Forbes and Cupido – on stage for this production that promises to have festivalgoers begging for more. Lag my kla’ is supported by Son and kykNET. “As a festival focusing on the development

of new talent and the promotion of social cohesion, we believe that humour is the best way to unite people,” says Suidoosterfees CEO, Jana Hattingh. “When people laugh together, social barriers disappear. We regard laughter as a driving force for democracy. After facing 2020’s challenges of pandemic proportions, everybody deserves a break!” V Visit www.suidoosterfees.co.za for the complete programme; early bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment. Tickets at Computicket from R250 per car.

Stormers wear their support T

The Stormers will be showing their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit during November. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness. Seen here (from left): Warrick Gelant, Herschell Jantjies, Scarra Ntubeni, Steven Kittshoff, Frans Malherbe and Chris van Zyl.

he DHL Stormers have shown their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit until the end of this month. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness. Globally, two million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year. The diagnosis has an indescribable emotional impact on every patient, but also on friends, family and colleagues. To support the various initiatives, DHL, who are the Stormers’ title sponsors, are seeking to extend the awareness to the greater public and have placed decals on their aircraft fleet in Africa (and across the globe) with the ribbon creative to show their support and commitment to the causes. Both causes have been inte-

grated into the Stormers’ match day playing kit for the duration of the season in October and November, displaying the pink and blue logo. Stormers captain Siya Kolisi said the team is proud to be raising awareness for such worthy causes. “Breast cancer and testicular cancer are major health issues and we as a team want to do everything we can to show our support for this campaign, along with our sponsor, DHL,” he said. Stormers coach John Dobson said the values behind this awareness campaign reflect what the Stormers players and management would like to be about as a team. “It is great to be so closely aligned with our title sponsor DHL for such an important campaign. This is about showing concern for the well-being of others and doing everything we can to limit the impact of breast cancer and testicular cancer, so we are glad to be supporting in whatever way we can,” he said.

‘Small people do big things’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121 The Little Optimist Global Challenge has seen history being made as dinghies (optimists) sailed in the Strandfontein Tidal Pool recently. Run by the Little Optimist Trust, the challenge this year changed its format due to Covid-19 protocols. Sailors, both professional and avid were encouraged to sail one of their optimists on any body of water between Friday 9 and Sunday 18 October to raise funds for charity and help inspire at-risk youth. The 9Miles Project was one of the organisation which joined the challenge, sailing their own optimist in the tidal pool on Monday 12 October with 20 local children who are part of the project’s after school programme. The Little Optimist Trust, which offers sailing therapy to vulnerable children, was founded by Greg Bertish, who at age 31 un-

derwent open heart surgery to remove an undiagnosed and unculturable tropical bacteria that had attacked his aortic heart valve. He spent more than 200 days in hospital and on his release was inspired to do good. “In April 2016, as a middle aged, multiple cardiac surgery survivor, on the blood thinner Warfarin, I sailed a tiny children’s optimist dinghy over 200km in the open ocean. This represented each day I had spent in hospital. My aim was to show people that small people can do big things. “We inspired patients, kids and others to never ever give up, and we raised R300 000 for the new ICU (intensive care unit) at Red Cross Children’s Hospital,” says Bertish in a statement published to their website. Now they aim to save children’s lives by inspiring them to get better, to teach them a skill, to create a passion and to raise funds and awareness for associated charities. Nigel Savel, founder of the 9Miles Project, says: “We have been involved with The Lit-

tle Optimist Trust for the past two to three years, and founder Greg Bertish, has always been amazing about including our 9Miles children in their activities – whether it is sailing at Zeekoevlei or the V&A Waterfront, or fun-filled Children who formed part of the 9Miles Project’s initiatives in the visits to the aquari- dinghies at the Strandfontein Tidal Pools.

TOKAI

Poison threat creeps in NETTALIE VILJOEN NETTALIE.VILJOEN@MEDIA24.COM

“P

The owner of this property located in Tokai suspects that his bougainvillaea creeper has been poisoned. McKey has reported the latest case to the police. Colonel June Cilliers, Kirstenhof police station commander, confirms that a report has been lodged for the record. She says, although no other residents have recently reported incidents of suspected plant or tree poisoning at their properties, it was a prob-

lem in the Tokai area a few years ago and that she is concerned it might flare up again. She says the concern exists that these poisons might hold a danger for children or pets who might accidentally come into contact with them. Cilliers urges the community to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity and she

says the police also plan to increase their stop-and-searches in the early hours of the morning. “If we see people moving around at a certain time of night and if we find something on him or her, like a garden sprayer, then the person must explain why they have it on them,” Cilliers adds.
