OCEAN VIEW
CCTV cameras launched RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
manned by trusted residents. “It’s much appreciated of community members who sacrifice of their personal time to be here and do monitoring of the CCTV cameras,” said Smith. Some residents expressed concerns regarding who would be entrusted to monitor the camera footage but were assured by Simon Liell-Cock, councillor for ward 61, that processes would be put in place to ensure all stakeholders are able to make their community a safer place.

Another challenge was finding funding for the project. According to Smith, Barry Schuller, Metro police and the City’s director of CCTV and radio communications, repurposed savings from the City to roll out Ocean View’s cameras. The installation of the five cameras, the setup and the refurbishment of the control room cost the City in the region of R900 000. Currently, Cape Town has the largest CCTV footprint in South Africa. But cameras alone won’t make a difference, said
esidents of Ocean View, the police and the City of Cape Town gathered at an undisclosed location on Thursday 16 January to officially launch Ocean View’s first CCTV camera initiative. “It is long overdue for us to erect some cameras in Ocean View,” said Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith at the launch. “This side of the world has long been inaccessible for our CCTV footprint reach because we do not have fibre optic connections here – not that the City can access – and we do not have an easier way to get the wave signal across this mountain.” The long wait for the roll-out of the surveillance cameras in the area began more than a year ago after a sudden spike in crime. At a community meeting last year, residents expressed their interest in replicating the regenerative effect that camera surveillance has had in Bonteheuwel. One of the challenges in the far south was that the lack of infrastructure would not allow for the footage to be broadcast into the City’s main control rooms – Cyclops centre in the Foreshore – and at the Eagle Eye station in Goodwood. The solution was one that has been implemented in Grassy Park, Retreat and other communities: a localised control room Officers of the law and City of Cape Town officials attend the official launch of Ocean View’s first CCTV cameras.

Smith. “Cameras are not going to make the community safe,” Smith cautioned. “The camera can see the crime happen but if nothing happens after that, that’s all that happened. That’s why the relationship with the police is important.” In the future, the City hopes to deploy more law enforcement personnel to Ocean View in order to get enough feet on the ground and actively patrol the area to bring criminals to book.

VRYGROND | SEAWINDS
Entrepreneur serves the community RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
H
elp to Care, a community centre in Vrygrond which feeds hundreds of people weekly, received a blessing of its own when an entrepreneur from Seawinds breathed new life into to their trusty old bakkie. Daniel and Minnie Hoorn, founders of Help to Care, have been aiding poorer residents by providing them with meals from their soup kitchen, three days a week, for the past 20 years. While meals are mainly served at the centre now, Denzel Hoorn, Daniel’s son, explains they previously used the bakkie to take meals to other areas, including old Vrygrond and Overcome Heights to name a few. Cameron Pick from Cammy’s Mobile Repairs struck a good deal with Denzel to assist the Hoorns in doing as much as they could for the community. Cameron and his right-hand man, Zafian Lakey, spent two months fixing the body of the bakkie. Denzel says his dad got the bakkie when he turned 60. “Now he’s 81 years old,” he says. “That bakkie was neglected and my Dad is
really impressed with their work.” Cameron says the bakkie had one foot in the grave. “On the passenger side, there was a hole in the floor,” he says. Denzel adds: “There was a hole in the roof too, you could see the sky.”
Cameron opened Cammy’s Mobile Repairs in May last year, with the intention to serve the panel beating needs of poorer communities. “We are here for the community – we charge community prices. I grew up in the community and I want to show them that anyone can do

it,” says Cameron. He says he got his start working for a panel beater for many years. He then decided to start his own business and brought Zafian on to learn the trade. “He was the first person I employed and he’s learned a lot,” he says. But it wasn’t all plain sailing. “The first month was very rough because today we may have work but tomorrow we didn’t.” Initially working out of a small Toyota Tazz, the duo managed to acquire a workshop in Steenberg and a bakkie. But their vision for the company is bigger than just fixing cars. “It’s not just for us – if anyone comes here, we can teach them. We have kids and teens who come to watch and learn. “Before they end up on the wrong side, we tell them to come to us.” Denzel commends the start-up company for its assistance to get the Hoorns’s bakkie up and running. “Cameron gave back to the community by fixing the bakkie. Help to Care is grateful for that.” V For more information, contact Help to Care Centre on 021 702 6107 or email help2carecentre@gmail.com.

tion to our past, future, our country and each other. “It is a perfect opportunity; especially considering the day’s national importance, to recognise, honour and celebrate the diversity of our people and the richness of our collective cultures. The Cape Town Carnival is a colour and sound spectacle of magnificent floats, costumed performers, dancers and community groups, all who have been preparing for months to show what they are most proud of,” says Jay Douwes, Cape Town Carnival chief executive officer (CEO). Since its founding in 2010, the Cape Town Carnival has built up a following locally and abroad. In March last year, the annual event attracted 51 000 people, with people coming from all walks of life, areas and communities. The free-to-watch public spectacle is preceded by a year-round community-driven programme rolled out across the Cape metropole. The organisation is also home to a workshop of marvels in Maitland, which is where the float-building, metalwork, costume design, pattern-making and garment manufacturing for the event takes place.
Ocean View police welcome court’s sentence Lt Col Monwabisi Buzwayo, station commander of Ocean View police station, has welcomed the long sentences imposed on an Ocean View resident in the Wynberg Regional Court on Tuesday 3 December. “It is only through a thorough investigation of cases and the integrated partnership with the prosecuting authority that we, the police, can enhance our strategy of achieving our goal of building a society where lawabiding citizens are and feel safe,” said Buzwayo. On 26 February 2018, the body of Carl Barendilla was found in an open field behind the police station in Ocean View. Barendilla had been shot in the chest. Witnesses stated that Ricardo Titus, alias Cardie Green-Eyes, a 34-year-old Ocean

View resident, had shot him. The next day, Titus handed himself over to the police. He told police where he had hid the firearm which was allegedly used to shoot Barendilla and another victim. The police recovered the firearm at the address provided and an additional charge was added. Titus was found guilty on one count of murder and on possession of an unlicensed firearm. He was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. Buzwayo added: “These sentences indicate that justice has been served. Credit must be given to the investigating team, prosecutors, the first responders at the crime scene, forensic experts and all those involved in securing a watertight case

against the accused.” He said the investigating officer, Det Const Thokozani Nzimande, worked tirelessly to make sure the evidence brought before the court was sufficient for a conviction. “We hope the family of Carl Barendilla will derive strength from the fact that the person responsible for inflicting this painful experience has been sent to jail for a long time. It can never be business as usual when a young member of a family is so violently removed from a family as Carl was. “The authority of the State will be applied without fear or favour at all times ... We hope these sentences will discourage lawlessness in all its forms,” Buzwayo concluded.

SAFETY
Strap to help in times of need RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
A
Richwood resident and graphic designer, Olivia Viglatzis, has launched a new customised emergency strap to help during a moment of crisis. The strap folds around seat belts, a baby seat and backpack strap and has details of the driver, baby or school going child – these include the name and surname of the individual, an emergency contact and medical aid details. “All of this came to mind one evening when I was driving to the shop and thought to myself, ‘what would happen if I was to be in an accident? “How would the emergency services know who to contact? “And so it all started,” Viglatzis explains. They also decided to make the strap available for school backpacks. “School children get injured and no one knows who to contact,” Viglatzis adds. According to her the idea started small and they hope they can someday grow it into a business. “We started in November and we have only done things via Facebook so far, so we are really still small.” The business has gained some momentum through word of mouth. Viglatzis hopes to approach medical aid companies to get involved. “We will be marketing it ourselves for now as each of the emergency straps are individually made for that particular person’s needs.” The straps can be ordered and mailed to anywhere in the country.

Festive season successes from security firm . Police in Fish Hoek arrested a suspect after he allegedly tried to commit a burglary at a residence in Milkwood Park on Christmas Day. “The neighbour next door saw what was happening, and pressed her panic alarm button to which one of our armed response vehicles was dispatched in response,” explains Jade Hanning, Cape Town South District manager at Fidelity ADT. The officer was given a detailed description of the alleged suspect, who was soon located and apprehended. “Our officer called for police back-up, and the suspect was taken into custody by Fish Hoek police. I want to pay tribute to the neighbour who raised the alarm – it shows how important it is for every one of us to be on the lookout for suspicious behaviour so that we can immediately raise the alarm,” says Hanning.
Author talks about book International journalist turned author Elaine Durbach will launch her new book Roundabout at the Jacob Gitlin Library in Gardens on Tuesday 11 February at 18:00. Entry is free. Durbach is an award-winning journalist who was born in Zimbabwe, and grew up in Zambia, Lesotho, and South Africa. A World Press Institute Fellowship took her to the United States of America (USA), where she has lived and worked as an international correspondent and journalist for many years. Her work has included writing for the New Jersey Jewish News. Roundabout is her debut novel. The book is a love story about a couple who meet at Rhodes, cross paths in the USA, and settle – almost too late – in Kalk Bay. The novel has been described as “beautiful, evocative and captivating”. She will be talking about the intersection of fact and fiction, and her perspective on living and working in the “fake news” era. V To RSVP, email admin@gitlinlibrary.co.za or call 021 462 5088.

. An armed response officer apprehended a suspect on New Year’s Day after he allegedly gained unauthorised access to a home in Muizenberg. “We sent the officer to investigate an alarm signal from the home on Albertyn Road. When he arrived at the address, he could see someone moving inside the home,” explains Hanning. A family member of the home owner arrived at the same time, and confirmed that his brother was away and that no one was supposed to be inside the home. “Our officer proceeded to investigate the property further. When he got to the back door, the suspect came rushing towards him, but our officer managed to successfully apprehend the suspect,” says Hanning. Items that were allegedly stolen from inside

the home were recovered as well, and the suspect handed over to Muizenberg police. . In an unrelated incident, armed response officers in Sunnydale were called out to another panic alarm activation on New Year’s Day. This led to the arrest of a suspect who was allegedly trespassing on the property. “We dispatched three armed response vehicles to investigate the alarm signal from Lekkerwater Road, and our officers found an unidentified suspect on the property when they arrived,” explains Hanning. The alarm was activated by the property’s caretaker. “Always make sure that your security system is in a working condition and that any staff working on your property know how to use the panic alarm in case of an emergency,” says Hanning.

‘Onus on owner to remove skips’ RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
R
esidents of Glencairn expressed their concern over an unsightly waste removal skip which stood on Tercentenary Road for six months following renovations at a private property. The skip was initially placed outside the property by building contractors during renovations. Falling on hard times, the contractor was allegedly unable to pay the company from which the skip had been hired. Consequently, the standard 7m³ skip which can hold more than 5 tons of waste, was not removed. Simon Liell-Cock, councillor for ward 61, says, according to the City of Cape Town’s Municipal Planning By-law, a skip should be
placed within one’s property during renovations. “You can’t start building a house and start using the pavement on the road. People do but it’s not legal.” He adds that this type of pavement usage must be approved by the City before going ahead. Chapter 14, section 127 of the by-law reads: “Property shall be properly maintained by the owner or occupier and shall not: (a) be left in a neglected or offensive state, as may be determined by the City; (b) contain an unsightly accumulation of papers, cartons, garden refuse, rubble and/or other waste material, as may be determined by the City.” According to Liell-Cock, this incident is not the first of its kind and can have financial and legal implications on residents who do not abide by the by-law.
“In some sites, like in Glencairn, where a container is placed outside (of property boundaries) while people are building, there have been instances where people had to pay rent for the use of that space,” he explains.
Fortunately for the residents, the skip was removed in December but according to a Glencairn resident it was done at the owners’ own cost. The removal of a skip can cost more than R3 000.

A place in the sun for matrics NETTALIE VILJOEN The heat was on at the official premises of the premier, Alan Winde on Thursday 16 January when the Western Cape’s top achievers in the 2019 National Senior Certificate Examinations were announced. While the top three candidates in the Western Cape at this point were no secret, the suspense surrounding which high schools would come in tops could have been responsible for at least some of the drops of perspiration forming on attending principals’ foreheads. Or perhaps it was just because of the sun beating down on Leeuwenhof’s grounds. While the names of Madelein Dippenaar (Hoërskool Gimnasium), Gary Allen (Rondebosch Boys’ High School, and Anuoluwa Makinde (Milnerton High School) – who also happened to be the top three national candidates – had been released on 7 January, the list of top 20 schools in the province was still a mystery. A few speeches and many a head dab later, Westerford High School (Rondebosch), Rustenburg Girls’ High School (Rosebank) and Star College Bridgetown (Athlone) – in that order – were announced as the top three schools in the Western Cape. Mark Smith, principal of Westerford High School, said it came as a surprise. “We are listed ninth nationally so we suspected we would be somewhere in the top 10 in the Western Cape, but not first place.”
Originally from Pretoria, Smith is quick to point out that he only joined the school in the last term of 2019. “All the credit goes to the school’s teaching body and learners.” According to the School Performance Report on the DBE’s website, Westerford has had a 100% pass rate from 2015 to 2019. Smith says the education that learners receive at Westerford covers much more than the standard syllabus. He says that although he is proud of the learners’ exam achievements, that is not the school’s focus; rather its teaching methods are aimed at developing learners’ lateral thinking. On a provincial level, the Western Cape – with an overall pass rate of 82.3% for 2019 – moved from third to fourth place in the national table. “No team is happy to see their ranking drop down the league table. But we must keep our eyes on the real prize: ensuring that we get better every single year as regards quality and giving our youth the best possible opportunities to make a meaningful difference in their lives and our country,” the minister of education, Debbie Schäfer said at the event. The province’s bachelor pass rate for the 2019 NSC stands at 46.3% – the highest yet. The Metro North Education District achieved the highest district percentage pass rate in the province (86.3%). Overberg came in a close second (86%). Altogether 69 schools (15.4%) achieved a 100% pass rate
and nearly two-thirds of Western Cape schools have a pass rate of over 80%. The pass rate of Quintile 1, 2 and 3 schools together has increased by 17% since 2009. Another encouraging statistic is that the Western Cape has the highest retention rate from Grade 10 to 12 in South Africa. Free State “lost” 34 447 learners (57.9%). Gauteng “lost” 99 371 learners (50.4%). North West “lost” 36 855 learners (57.9%) and the Western Cape, 27 898 (35.6%). “No loss is something that we are proud of. But 35% against 50% and above is quite some difference,” Schäfer said. She ended her speech acknowledging the hard work that goes into helping young people every day and congratulating the achievers. Jakob Holm (Diocesan College) and Justine Verwey (Rustenburg Girls’ High School) are the fourth and fifth top candidates in the province, respectively. The remaining top schools, from fourth to 20th, are Herschel Girls School, Springfield Convent of the Holy Rosary, Rondebosch Boys’ High School, Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, Diocesan College, Rhenish Girls’ High School, Claremont High School, Paul Roos Gimnasium, Herzlia High School, Hoër Meisieskool Paarl, SA College High School, Hoër Meisieskool La Rochelle, Wynberg Girls’ High School, Hoërskool DF Malan, Parklands College, Parel Vallei High School and St George’s Grammar School.

Bible for the deaf opens new world NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
F
or many the words in the Bible are self-explanatory. Verses like “whoever has ears, let them hear” or “if you declare with your mouth...you will be saved” are so commonplace, many don’t think twice when reading it. For a deaf person this is a completely different experience, says Dr Rocco Hough, who helped put together the English Bible for the Deaf (EBD), which the Bible Society of South Africa released at the end of last year. Hough, who was a reverend at the De la Bat Dutch Reformed Church for the deaf in Bellville for over 30 years, was directly involved with both translations, along with Elmien Roux, a retired teacher who used to work at the De la Bat School for the deaf in Worcester. Helping them were scores of academics and deaf people, making this a translation developed with the deaf, for the deaf. The EBD follows the runaway success of The Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf of 2008 (now also known as the Bible for All), the first Afrikaans Bible for the deaf. The EBD is aimed at people who were born deaf and could not learn a language in an auditory way.
Necessity Hough says he was challenged to do the English translation of the Bible for the Deaf while in Kenya about 11 years ago. A pastor there said they were struggling to understand the English Bible for the Deaf they were using at the time. When he looked at the Bible himself, he saw about 50 words in the first chapter of the Bible that the average deaf person wouldn’t understand.
There was a great need for a text based Bible for the deaf in English, Hough realised. And as he knew only too well from translating the Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf, most of the existing Bible is too difficult for a deaf person to understand. “The mother tongue of the deaf is Sign Language, a very difficult language for hearing people to learn, and likewise, difficult for deaf people to understand written language as we find it in our Bibles.” A hearing impairment normally leads to a language impairment. “Deaf children cannot learn language in a normal way, and in the past deaf children were sent to a school for the deaf at the age of 3 where they had to learn language in a specialised way.” Even though they have normal intelligence, the average reading ability of an adult deaf person is that of an eight-year-old-hearing child. This creates a large barrier when trying to read something like the Bible. Added to this is the fact that the Bible is filled with idioms, which is something that is acquired by speaking a language over time and not something deaf people learn automatically.
Translation The translation of EBD officially started in 2011 and the text was completed after about five years.
“After (this) it was tested, the development of all the footnotes and illustrations, the page layout, and then it was printed in China, who has the largest and most modern Bible printing press.” Two source experts Prof Bart Oberholzer and Prof Hermie van Zyl, helped with this translation. After Oberholzer’s death, Dr Tiana Bosman took over. Hough says this Bible is ideal for groups of people wanting to read an easy translation, like Christians in countries like Pakistan and India. “There is such a big need for a Bible like this and I’m grateful we could finish it,” Hough says. Hannerie Swart, development manager at the National Institute for the Deaf (NID), says it’s special that the deaf can receive the word of God in a way that’s easily understandable. “It supports deaf accessibility and inclusivity.” The Bible is available at Cum Books or at the Bible Society of South Africa.

Vics add to Strandfontein’s misery GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS

ewcomers to Western Province Cricket Association’s Premier League, Strandfontein came agonisingly close to recording their first victory of the season when they lost by 11 runs to Victoria Cricket Club on Saturday 18 January. Chasing 173 for victory, the Seasiders were always on the hunt, but lost wickets at crucial times, with Vics off-spinner Robert van der Ross (4/38) doing most of the damage for his team. In the first division A, Primrose, making a strong bid for promotion, posted the highest score of the day (280/8) as they cruised to a bonus-point 121-run win over Tygerberg. For the Roses, Magmoed Petersen (92) was their stand-out performer. In the first division B, Bashier Vallie (61*) piloted log leaders Pinelands to an easy sixwicket win over Bishop Lavis.

Yankees trip up Falcons in clash NOORE NACERODIEN Westridge Yankees beat their arch-rivals 6-2 in their Cape Town Softball Association Super League fixture on Saturday 18 January. The win for Yankees gives Lavender Hill the opportunity to extend their already commanding lead at the top of the Super League standings. Prior to the game, Falcons were two points ahead of Westridge, but Saturday’s result ensured that the Mitchell’s Plainbased outfit overtook their rivals to take second spot in the standings. Natalie Abrahams performed admirably from the pitching mound for Westridge, putting the skids on Falcons’ batting. In the other Super League game, Tantasport would taste defeat at the hands of Glenthorn A’s, going down 7-2. They, along with Heideveld Yankees now languish at the bottom of the table, which puts them in danger of being relegated at the end of the season. Log-leaders Lavender Hill were enjoying a bye this weekend. Results: Super league:
