The first suspect was arrested within 10 minutes of the crime taking place. Fritz said he was actually met with disbelief when he shared this story with visiting dignitaries.

CCP later received a tip-off that the remaining two suspects were in Hangberg which led to their arrest a few days later.

“This is such a testament to what can be done when civil society gets involved. The question is how can we replicate this kind of structure in other hotspot areas,” Fritz said. Responding to an alert sent out on Buzzer – a free safety app spearheaded by CCP and the Hout Bay community – De Villiers, Scholtz and Brown responded to the incident and co-ordinated the arrest of the first suspect and handed him over to the police.

FROM PAGE 1 “In terms of section 29 of the Western Cape Community Safety Act, 2013 (Act 3 of 2013) and in recognition of Meritorious Service in
Promoting the Purpose of the Act, the CCP volunteers were awarded,” he said. Fritz said the quick action was proof that the systems implemented at Watchcon worked. He extended an invitation to the CCP team to attend a safety and security summit planned for middle October at Houw Hoek Inn, to share their “best practices” with five other municipal districts. Watchcon, managed by CCP, is a neutral platform which works cohesively with all service providers, including neighbourhood watches, private security firms, police and emergency response units, in Hout Bay to ensure a swift response to any incident. Cross says about 98% of all incidents in the community – be it crime-related; emergencies, for example, fires; or the need for medical assistance – get reported to the 24hour control room. It even assists when snakes are spotted – something which, says Cross, can happen up to two times a day in the summer. Staff and volunteers also monitor 23 licence plate recognition cameras with another four to be installed within the next few months. “We are alerted when suspicious vehicles or vehicles previously linked to a crime enter Hout Bay, and can track these
vehicles and alert Saps when necessary,” says De Villiers. Since CCP took over management in April 2018, Watchcon has made huge inroads in the fight against crime by setting up a closed-camera network and an effective communication “triangle” between the reporter (the residents), the responder (a resident or a professional) and the monitor ( the coordinator). In addition to the Buzzer app, reported on in People’s Post (“Buzzer rings in new era of safety”, 17 September), it has developed several IT systems, for example, a repeat-offender and an informant database. Thanks to its latest initiative, a car guard project through which car guards were fingerprinted and outfitted with formal uniforms, car break-ins in the area have dropped by 82%. All of this has been accomplished thanks to the efforts of two full-time employees and a small group of volunteers. “The control room is completely run on donations. We would like to do so much more and would be grateful for any contributions,” says Cross. V Visit https://ccphoutbay.co.za/fundraising/ for information on how to get involved.

he establishment of the Hout Bay Nature Park is one step closer thanks to the efforts of 35 volunteers who participated in a clean-up held on Saturday 14 September. The clean-up began at the Manchester Road biodiversity node and ended at the Butterfly Garden at Victoria Bridge, crossing the wetland and following the Hout Bay River which falls in a section of the Hout Bay Park Run route. Members of the community, Park Run and city officials helped to pick up litter and remove invasive plant species. Executive mayor Dan Plato; Mayco member for water and waste services, Xanthea Limberg; and Rob Quintas, councillor for ward 74, were among those lending a hand. Quintas said everyone in Hout Bay and surrounds had a role to play. “Our rivers and ocean are fragile, and it is up to every member of our community to play their part in responsible waste disposal and ensuring better management of these precious natural assets.” Jackie Whales, chairperson of Friends of Rivers of Hout Bay (FORHB), organised the clean-up. FORHB, in association with the Hout Bay Rivers Catchment Forum (HBRCF), are in the process of establishing the Hout Bay Nature Park, stretching from Victoria Bridge to the sea. Whales said the clean-up was held to generate awareness of the initiative. “It can be difficult to get a new project adopted by the City as there are often multiple departments involved and budgets required. Having the mayor and Limberg supporting the project will prove enormously helpful. “In terms of water resilience, we also hope to demonstrate that a healthy, functioning
river system stores and saves water for the dry years.” The nature park initiative was first presented at a public briefing at Kronendal Primary School on 20 March where it was endorsed by Quintas, key City executives and interested members of the community. Terry Murphy, chairman of HBRCF, said the City’s environmental heritage department has since tabled and approved the conceptual plan. “To enhance the Hout Bay Nature Park, plans include the building of walkways, recreation facilities and bird hides as well as a focus on invasive alien clearage,” said Murphy. The next move is to prepare biodiversity documentation. “To secure the permanent preservation of these special assets we need to submit a biodiversity agreement to Cape Nature. The City’s biodiversity management branch has agreed to advise us. A special interest group will be formed for this purpose,” said Murphy. The large area of public open space earmarked for the nature park mostly consists of wetlands and the river. Whales said it was important to preserve and rehabilitate this area for climate change resilience, ecological function and biodiversity. “Also we need natural areas within our urban space where people can go to connect with nature. I feel strongly that if children don’t get an opportunity to connect with nature, it is very hard for them to do so as adults,” she said. Whales said the community needed to get involved and take ownership of projects like these. “It is also much easier for the City to support projects that have the enthusiastic backing of the community,” she said.

CITY OF CAPE TOWN
Increase in warrants a win for traffic service T
he City of Cape Town’s traffic service executed nearly 200 000 warrants in the past financial year. This statistic represented a 102% increase in the number of warrants executed year-onyear. “We have to increase the fine payment and conviction rate if we are to see any meaningful change in behaviour on our roads, as simply issuing more and more fines that offenders do not pay does not change driving behaviour,” said Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith. Other notable statistics from the traffic service’s efforts in 2019/20 are a 22.3% in-
crease in taxi impoundments, a 36.2% increase in warrant arrests and a 10.5% increase in drunk-driving arrests. “The statistics show that there is still a healthy disregard for the law. However, we are hopeful that with the sustained pressure from Operation Reclaim and the other interventions in place to ensure fine payment, road users will start thinking twice about their choices and behaviour,” said Smith. The revised traffic bylaw will also be put out for public participation soon, which, Smith said, would hopefully give enforcement staff greater powers to deal with habitual offenders.
In the current financial year, the traffic service will continue the focus on tracking down motorists with outstanding warrants, along with other road safety priorities like speeding and drunk-driving. Vehicle impoundments is another priority, which is why the safety and security directorate is doubling the capacity at its pound in Ndabeni. “The taxi impoundment rate would likely have been higher, but for space constraints at our existing facilities. We are increasing capacity now, which means that officers will be able to impound more vehicles,” said Smith.
The upgrade of the impoundment facility was made possible by funding secured in the January Adjustments Budget through mayor Dan Plato’s intervention. Around R9 million has been spent on increasing the Ndabeni vehicle pound capacity from 400 to 723 bays, with the cost going to security fencing, lighting, hard surfacing and access control as well as gates for the new pound. It is expected to be completed in the coming months. The further improvements to the Ndabeni vehicle pound will include accommodating the public transport enforcement unit (TEU) which will be based there in two years’ time.

SCHOOLS
Career choices stem from quiz competition T
he second annual mGenAfrica quiz competition, held on Saturday 14 September, saw 366 Grade 12 learners from 40 schools across the Western Cape gather at Wynberg Girls’ High School. The quiz competition, piloted last year in the Metro South Education District (MSED), included five districts this year. The competition aims to inspire Grade 12 learners to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem). Learners competed as either individuals or teams in various heats using the quiz Moodle platform which mirrors the contents and activities found on the mGenAfrica platform. The online platform and mobile app – an initiative of the University of Cape Town (UCT) in partnership with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) – helps learners gauge their knowledge; and prepare for tests and exams through online quizzes. Dr Vicky Nembaware, who conceived this project, says: “mGenAfrica aims to inspire learners to choose careers in life science in an easily assessable manner”. In addition to quiz and engagement activities, mGenAfrica’s website freely provides videos that explain complex life sciences concepts, a section for learners to translate or simplify life science terms and a career portal. Learners are also able to connect with UCT researchers during live chat sessions and draw inspiration from a variety of career spotlight profiles. Launched in August 2018 to promote engagement between high school learners and research staff working in genomics and other health research fields across Africa, the platform aims to make learning life sciences, especially genetics, fun. And that is exactly what learners, competing on
the day, had. In between heats, energy levels were kept high with life science-themed karaoke and dance-offs in the main hall, interspersed with inspiring career talks by UCT researchers. Dr Paul Steyn from the university’ department of human biology was one of the speakers who held his audience spellbound. He wowed learners with a demonstration of the cardiac system using a virtual reality system. Deon Khan, e-learning advisor for MSED, says having researchers share their experiences with learners is invaluable. “I’m very pleased with the kind of effort
made by UCT to expose the learners to a number of career opportunities,” he said. “These researchers are role models that can inspire learners to look beyond the more well-known or obvious career paths.” The day’s activities culminated in a final quiz-off. In the individual category, Mbasakazi Songololo from Spine Road High School was the overall winner. She was followed closely by Charles Martin from South Peninsula High School in second position and Merel van den Brink from Parklands College in third.
In the group category, South Peninsula High School came first, followed by Sinethemba High School in second position and Fairmont High School in third. Songololo was rewarded with a trophy, laptop, as well as the opportunity to attend the 13th African Society of Human Genetics Conference in Tanzania in September. All other winners received scientific calculators, trophies, memory sticks and backpacks. And although not everyone who participated could be crowned winners, all did walk away richer.

THEATRE
‘Danger in the Dark’ debuts D
avid Kramer’s Danger in the Dark, a reworking of the hit musical Poison, comes to the Baxter Theatre for a limited season. Baxter chief executive officer and artistic director, Lara Foot, invited Kramer to restage the musical, given its relevant content experienced daily in communities across the Western Cape. Originally written in the early 90s by Kramer and the late Taliep Petersen, and produced by Renaye Kramer, Poison was very well received in South Africa, Malaysia and London. It had a return season, directed by Bobby Heaney, at the Baxter Theatre in 2004 as part of the Klipfontein Corridor Project. With this reworked version of the musical, Kramer tells the story from the point of view of Pamela, a social worker who is writing her thesis on drug abuse in the Cape Flats. He has written the new book for Danger in the Dark but has retained many of the original songs. Kramer has assembled a creative team and cast of eight lead performers with a chorus of 14, who dance, sing and play a variety of roles, accompanied by a live band of five musicians. The ensemble is led by Alexis Petersen
(Langarm) as Pamela, Rushney Ferguson (District Six – Kanala!) as Juanita, Loukmaan Adams (District Six – The Musical) as Michael, Elton Landrew (Kat and the Kings) as Poison, Eldon van der Merwe (Arendsvlei) as Chicco, Tashreeq de Villiers (Aunty Merle, The Musical) as Lucky, Edith Plaatjies (King Kong) as Mrs Joseph and Chad Baai (Spring Awakening) as Shawn. The chorus comprises Luke Buys, Loreto Cabrera, Lewellyn Afrika, Luke de Kock, Anzio September, Lubabalo Pupu, Rori York Bingham, Nadine Suliaman, Alex Rodkin, Chamonay Anthony, Mekaila Mathys, Crystal Finck, Gabriela Dirkse and Tanzley Jooste. Directed by Kramer with assistant director, Grant van Ster, the creative team is made up of Camillo Lombard (musical director), Patrick Curtis (set and lighting designer), David Classen (sound designer), Widaad Albertus (costume designer), Kirsti Cummings (videographer) and choreography by Shaun Oelf and Grant van Ster. Grandall Vlotman (conductor and keyboards), Shaun Francke (guitar), Jason Ward (drums and percussion), Yvan Potts (synthesizers) and Kurt Randall (bassist) make up the band.

Engines to rev at Killarney S
tart your engines for the fourth annual Killarney Motor Show, at the Cape town home of motorsport, Killarney International Raceway, on Sunday 27 October. The organisers are taking the revs up again with close to 1 300 vehicles on show and more than 100 stalls selling just about anything you can think of for your car – and your tummy – with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eats and takeaway vendors. There’s a new, more accessible layout, an entirely new category of exhibitors and fascinating new displays to delight spectators and keep them at the show all day, from when gates open at 10:00 until the show closes at 17:00, including live music and a funfair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages. This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the tar oval, where the Cape Hell Drivers will be running a full tar oval racing event at the show. Next door to that is the arena section; as its name suggests, that’s where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycles and even vintage tractor parades and tug-o-war contests. There will be public karting on the one-
kilometre ‘K’ circuit, to give a real taste of how Formula One greats Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Ayrton Senna started their racing careers, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated testdrive circuit for the first time, offering testdrives on the latest models all day – including electric cars – another first for the Killarney Motor Show. Trials expert and Dakar Rally hero, Kobus Potgieter will show how to ride over all sorts of natural obstacles, while international stunt stars, brothers Bruce and Brent le Riche will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! In addition, the new car dealers will have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, a one-kilometre loop around the bank on Fastron Corner and through the drag-strip paddock, offering test drives on the latest models all day. The show is open from 10:00 to 17:00 and tickets can be booked at Computicket or paid for at the gate: R100 for adults, R50 for learners under 16 and free if you’re under 12 or on presentation of your membership book if you’re a Western Province Motor Club member.

All sorts of fun will be had at the annual Killarney Motor Show later this month.
