Addiction can be beaten Shaun Filander now uses his past struggles to make a difference in his community. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
H
e has been making strides toward a cleaner, drug-free life for months now and part of that journey is helping others deal with their own battles. Shaun Filander from Strandfontein says he was addicted to “buttons” – Mandrax – for 15 years after just one hit. “I was in Grade 10, 15 years old and one day my cousin introduced it to me. We went on holiday to Robertson and he asked me (if I want to try it). I said ‘sure’ and from that day I was addicted for 15 years,” he says. Filander was on a downward spiral, having been arrested and imprisoned, disappointing his and hurting his family for many years. But it is never too late to make a difference, he says.
He has been clean for almost a year now, the longest he has managed to stay off drugs and acknowledges the struggles addicts face in staying clean. He had already previously relapsed, but has accepted this as part of his journey to healing and is determined to make this time different. “I have been to many rehabs. I have (attended 12 different rehabilitation programmes), but the last one this time was different. God changed my life. It is only through His grace that I am still here and clean today,” says Filander. With an addictive personality and fighting his drug addiction, Filander became a sex addict. “Addiction and sex addiction go hand-inhand. Because of my previous lifestyle, when I was at the mission camp in Malmesbury I discussed with my counsellor that I thought I was HIV-positive. I was bad, I was messed up. I slept with so many women without protection,” says Filander.
“I was scared. I prayed to God constantly asking him to save me because having this disease would mean I could not serve Him. I was constantly on my knees.” Filander tested negative at a mobile clinic and he felt it was a sign from God. “From that day, I knew God (had plans for me) and that I had a calling on my life.” Since then, Filander has been using his experience to help others. He is one of the members of Agents For Change who work with the Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre and Ethel’s Place to make a difference in the community. Some of the projects they have already participated in was packing and distribution of food parcels, revamping the Ethel’s Place premises and assisting in soup kitchens. Filander’s message is that drug addiction can affect anyone and that there is help and hope for addicts and families affected. Seeking support and help are the first steps
in achieving this. While he has been clean, it is still a daily battle, he says. He acknowledges how the lockdown has also affected addiction and could cause many to relapse. “During the lockdown period, it was difficult staying clean because of parties.” Filander says being surrounded by substances while on a recovery journey is one of the most difficult ventures for addicts and this is where they need the most support from their family and friends. “I still have friends and people I know who are using. But I am a grown man now and I have come to a point where I realised enough is enough. I cannot continue to live like this because if I did not stop, I would die,” he says. “It is not easy constantly being around substances and people who are using, but (I made this choice to get and stay clean),” he says. He hopes to use this, and be an inspiration to other users that change is not impossible.

Mini Footsteps Kindergarten will host a family fun day in commemoration of Heritage Day. The event will be held at the Rockies Road park in Tafelsig on Thursday 24 September at 13:00. Founder and principal Ursula Peters says they just want kids to come and enjoy themselves. “This event is based on our children. Heritage comes from our forefathers and different cultures, and we grew up very different-
ly than our children are growing up now,” says Peters. Peters says events aimed at positive stimulation for children are necessary. “When children get materials to make a toy, the common toy they will make is a gun. A common game played is gangsterism games. The common idol they want to be is a gangster and I want to bring the children back by having fun,” she says. The event will include modelling, dance lessons, a Zumba session and other entertain-
ment . The event is free to anyone who wants to attend or participate. Peters says they are still looking for a fun and lively MC for the event and also calling on more dance groups, singers and other entertainers who want to perform. “We would like to request dancers and artists to come and slot in with us to make this event a nice and cheerful event for our children,” says Peters. V For more information or to get involved, call Ursula on 061 957 1825.
TRANSPORT
E-hailing drivers at risk SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
I
n recent weeks, e-hailing taxi services have come under attack with robberies, threats and hijacking being some of the incidents drivers face. According to a statement released by provincial parliament member Daylin Mitchell, taxi drivers in several areas have allegedly demanded so-called protection money in order for e-hailing drivers to operate in given areas, with one driver being shot and killed and his passenger wounded in Vrygrond. Mitchell says a further four shooting incidents were recorded where two e-hailing drivers were killed and two are in critical condition. “The alleged protection money demanded by taxi drivers is of grave concern as it highlights that some transport operators believe they are above the law. Innocent residents have the right to feel safe without fearing for their lives when simply utilising a transport service. Furthermore, all e-hailing services have the right to operate within the province without harm,” says Mitchell. According to Uber, the safety of both drivers and passengers is paramount. In response to a People’s Post inquiry to the e-hailing service it said: “We are deeply committed to the safety of both riders and drivers and we have a dedicated team working 24/7 in South Africa and around the world to support our commitment to safety. We take any situation where driver safety is compromised extremely seriously and they have access to a number of safety features while on-trip in the event they feel unsafe in any way such as an emergency in-app button.” Uber says it also has a dedicated Incident Response Team which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond immediately to any reported incidents or accidents. “We encourage drivers to report any trip-related incidents to Uber and to law enforcement to ensure the necessary steps are taken. Our law enforcement relations team tasked with assisting the police with investigations on incidents that occur on our app,” the response reads. Gareth Taylor, country manager for Bolt
in South Africa, says drivers can activate the Namola in-app integrated SOS emergency button that shares the driver’s details and location. When activated, the security agency calls the driver to confirm the situation and deploy necessary assistance. “Bolt condemns violence of any form directed towards ridehailing drivers and passengers because it believes that every South African has the right to earn a living and move around without risk of harm, intimidation, coercion, or fear of death or injury. Safety of passengers and drivers utilising the Bolt platform is of utmost importance to us, and we already have a number of safety features for drivers in place,” he says. Bolt has also implemented Bolt Trip Protection, an insurance cover paid for by Bolt that is free for passengers and drivers. “Bolt Trip Protection helps passengers and drivers with money for emergency medical expenses, permanent disability and accidental death caused by an accident and/or crime while they are on a Bolt trip,” says Taylor. According to Uber, its safety features include access to an incident response team, driver and passenger share my trip feature, rider verification (cash or card clients), 24/7 phone support, ride check and partner injury protection; which in the unfortunate
event of an accident or a crime-related incident resulting in an injury during a trip, drivers will be covered on the road. “We are deeply committed to the safety of both riders and driver-partners. It’s why we have made safety features like GPS tracking (of every trip) a reality. We have also made it possible for riders to share their ETA (estimated time of arrival) with their loved ones. Riders are able to check driver-partner details such as their name and picture as well as vehicle details (type, model, colour, registration),” says Uber. “Both driver-partners and riders deserve to feel safe, comfortable and respected when using the app and that’s why we have community guidelines in place that outline what’s expected from riders and drivers when using the app. If riders ever feel unsafe during a trip, they have access to an in-app emergency button. We also encourage riders to provide feedback after every trip which is monitored by our dedicated 24/7 customer support team and can take action in real-time if necessary.” Taylor encourages riders and drivers to report matters. “Bolt constantly engages with drivers, passengers, the police and the department of transport, continually working to find more ways to make it safer for every South African to use all modes of transport without fear of any incidents,” he says.
Safety tips for e-hailing passengers Safety of e-hailing services has been brought into question following a string of incidents and taxi violence. Below is a list of safety tips for passengers: . Wait for your ride in a safe location, until the app alerts you that the driver has arrived. Avoid dark areas, and don’t wait unaccompanied. . Be sure that the vehicle that arrives to collect you matches the details of the ride that the app has shared with you. Ask the driver to give you his name, and ask him who he is looking for – it should
be you. . Check that the car make and model match what is in the app, along with its registration. Do not get into the vehicle if there’s a mismatch with any of these points, and report the incident via the app immediately. . Activate ‘Share My ETA’ function at the bottom of the app, right under the driver’s profile, to share your trip details with trusted friends or family. . Passengers can report any concerns or compliments via the Support tab on the Bolt app.

HEINZ PARK
Jubilation as lights illuminate SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

einz Park informal settlement has officially been connected to the electricity grid. The City of Cape Town has made 36 connections to the value of R686 000 which will benefit 144 residents in the area. The community was officially switched on by Mayco member for energy and climate change, Phindile Maxiti, accompanied by local ward councillor Patrick Ngqu and subcouncil 13 manager Lunga Bobo. “The City is pleased with the progress that has been made to connect these households
to electricity. This immediately enables living conditions to be improved and opens new doors for learning, as learners do not have to do schoolwork by candle or lamp light. It also enhances safety and enables households to move away from dangerous open flames for lighting,” says Maxiti in a statement. “Electricity is also a driver of economic opportunity and progress and we will continue to do everything in our power to create an enabling environment for economic growth for our residents.” Residents are happy for the electrification initiative, and tell People’s Post the electricity issue has long been a hot topic.
“I moved into Heinz Park in 1994 and we have experienced a lot of problems with electricity,” says one resident. Heinz Park is a mixture of brick and mortar structures and informal structures such as zinc shacks and Wendy houses. This electrification was specifically for the informal settlement. For sections that had already been previously electrified, the resident claims power supply has been temperamental since last year. “Since last year we’ve been experiencing a lot of issues,” she says. New dwellings built recently are to blame
as these dwellers have been making illegal connections to their breakers, she says. “So many times Heinz Park was dark, street lights off for months, and dangerous because of robbing and killings. Many residents are suffering and the problem is we don’t get assistance with anything here.” Maxiti says the City will continue to supply electricity to informal settlements where possible. “In City-supplied areas and on City-owned land, almost all informal settlements in the metro have been connected to electricity, where possible,” he says.

resident Cyril Ramaphosa has challenged South Africans to celebrate Heritage Day, on Thursday 24 September, by showing the world how to do the Jerusalema Challenge. The challenge which has taken the world by storm has gained popularity among businesses, police officers, health professionals and just about everyone else. For many, they had already planned to incorporate the challenge into their heritage day events and celebrations. Ramaphosa said in his recent address that with the move to level one, residents would celebrate Heritage Day under very different circumstances from what had been experienced over the last six months. “I urge everyone to use this public holiday as family time, to reflect on the difficult journey we have all travelled, to remember those who have lost their lives and to quietly rejoice in the remarkable and diverse heritage of our nation,” he said in his address. “And there can be no better celebration of our South African-ness than joining the global phenomenon that is the Jerusalema dance challenge. So I urge all of you to take up this challenge on Heritage Day
and show the world what we are capable of.” People’s Post polled residents on social media to see who had and who would be participating. Ward 82 councillor Washiela Harris says: “Ward 82 Walking bus members have done it and we send out a challenge to all other walking bus members. It was awesome as we had on jeans white t-shirts and ‘this girl is on fire’ sash from Mayor Dan Plato.” Auriol Daniels says Tinkines Feeding Scheme based in Kuils River had already completed the challenge on Women’s Day with around 60 people. “On Heritage Day, we the Kuils River community, will do another Jerusalema challenge. This will take place at 10:00 at Kuils River Rugby field (and we are) looking forward to it,” she says. Lindsey October says they already did the challenge at home. “Our first try was such a flop that we did not post it, but we are looking forward to doing the challenge again. We have been practising and I am sure it will be better. This is a great initiative to unite the country in doing something good together again, even if we are apart,” she says.

COLORADO PARK
Joint op to fight surge in robberies SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
geur police came together for a joint operation which was held on Friday 28 August from 06:00. Woodman says she also requested additional support from City of Cape Town law enforcement director Petrus Roberts. “As the ward councillor, I am prepared to work with all structures to make that difference within our community and would like to thank all those who availed themselves in making this operation a success. “To Sgt Booysen, the stand-in sector commander in sector 5, a big thank you for your willingness to run with this operation and ensuring us of your support,” Woodman says. Officials are calling on residents to assist in fighting crime by joining volunteer safety structures. “We are appealing to our residents to join up with our neighbourhood watch, to strengthen our forces and ensure visibility in the area to combat crime. Together we can make the difference,” says Woodman. V To join the neighbourhood watch, call or WhatsApp 082 736 1083.
he 2019/2020 crime statistics for the Lentegeur policing precinct shows fluctuating numbers in theft and robbery cases. However, in recent weeks officials have noted a steady increase in these crimes in the Colorado Park area. According to the latest stats, the Lentegeur police precinct recorded 209 cases of common robbery, 461 cases of robbery with aggravated circumstances, 1 698 cases of theft, 76 car-jackings, 91 car thefts and 276 cases of theft from or out of vehicles. Recently, in identifying a continued trend in some of these crime categories, officials and safety volunteers joined forces to take a stand. “For the past few months the residents of Colorado Park have been plagued with armed robberies, hijackings and several other issues. “A meeting was called with all safety structures discussing the way forward to see how we can combat the ongoing crime,” says ward 75 councillor, Joan Woodman. The Lentegeur Community policing forum subforum for Colorado Park, Colorado Residents and Ratepayers Association (CRRA), the Colorado Park Neighbourhood Watch, Community Wide Security (CWS) and Lente- Community and officials join forces for an operation in Colorado Park.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Protection order clarified SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
W
hile for some a protection order is but a piece of paper, for others it could mean the difference between life or death. With the rise in the number of cases of gender-based violence (GBV), domestic violence and femicide recently, the department of community safety launched a booklet as a guide to protection orders (“Booklet could save lives”, People’s Post, 8 September). Albert Fritz, provincial minister for community safety, says the launch of the booklet,Guide for Victims of Domestic Abuse, produced by the department, provides useful information on how to obtain a protection order. “An interim protection order provides proof that the victim followed the steps for the incident/s of domestic violence to be reported. Once the order is made final, and the respondent contravenes the conditions of the order, the police must arrest the respondent,” says Fritz. “A protection order is an order issued by a court ordering a person with whom one has or has had a domestic relationship, to stop the abuse.” For Mary*, a protection order against her husband did not keep him away. “As a victim of domestic violence, it is difficult to seek help because you are afraid you will be judged. And to a point you are judged wherever you go. I was one who believed the paper was not going to help me. There is that saying ‘the paper will not stop the bullet’,” she says. *Mary’s identity has been concealed for protections as her case is ongoing. “In the event that the respondent disobeys the protection order, the applicant should contact the police. Thereafter a statement
will be taken from him/her; the police will be provided with a warrant of arrest which the complainant received together with the protection order and, if the victim is in immediate danger, the respondent will be arrested, otherwise he/she will be given a notice to appear in court,” says Fritz. “The protection order for me was useful when my partner tried to attack me and I could call the police. He was not arrested on the domestic violence charges but was arrested after he broke the order,” says Mary. Fritz says the information and education around the booklet is important and could be lifesaving. “It is important that individuals be empowered with the knowledge of their rights pertaining to domestic violence. This includes understanding what a protection order is and how they can obtain it, in order to fully benefit from it. Used properly and under the correct circumstances, it can be a powerful tool in protecting a person’s life and well-being all-round,” says Fritz. For Mary, police’s response and subsequent arrest of her former partner means that she is further protected. Fritz says anyone who has become the victim of domestic violence, including children, can file for a protection order. “If the victim is too young, a parent or guardian, or any person acting on behalf of someone who is responsible for them, may apply with their permission for a protection order. In applying for a protection order, it is important to distinguish between the applicant and respondent. Victims of domestic violence and GBV should firstly report the incident to their local police station. The victim must then apply for a protection order at their local magistrate’s court,” says Fritz. The victim in the application for a protec-
tion order becomes the applicant. The alleged perpetrator in the application becomes the respondent. “It should be noted that an interim protection order can also be issued at any time of the day or night for protection. Alternatively, if the victim does not have a legal representative, the clerk of the court is obliged by law to inform the victim of relief or remedies available in terms of the Domestic Violence Act,” says Fritz. According to the Domestic Violence Act 116 of 1998, harassment, intimidation, verbal or physical abuse are considered with anyone in violation of a protection order facing up to two years imprisonment. Fritz says the safety of the applicant remains a priority. “If the applicant does not report that he/ she is being abused, there will be no record of the abuse. It is essential that those affected by domestic violence apply for a protection order to ensure that due process is followed and that their perpetrator faces the full might of the law,” says Fritz. He implores any victim of abuse to seek help, even if they are dependent on their abuser. “My heartfelt sympathies go out to anyone who is suffering under an abusive domestic relationship. I want to say that you are not beholden to your abuser and there are many options available to you. It is important that were you to lay a charge, you do not proceed to withdraw it. In doing so, you limit the law’s ability to protect you in the event that your abuser hurts you or your loved ones again,” he says. V Call police on 08600 10111, the department of social development on 0800 220 250 or the domestic violence helpline on 0800 150 150.

‘Melody’ cast to give back To celebrate its season one success, the cast behind the SABC2 smash hit Melody will host a virtual celebration with proceeds benefitting local charities. The event will be live streamed on Saturday 26 September at 18:00 with live performances and comedy, featuring the cast. The series has been screened on SABC2 since April and has become an instant hit among locals. The authentic human adventure involves a young coloured woman and her struggle against social injustices with which many South Africans wrestle daily. Series producer Theo Davids says they wanted to create a series that would accurately reflect the lives of coloured people. “South African television does not really reflect the lives of coloured people in the way that we know our lives to be. During the predemocracy years we were always portrayed as flower sellers, gangsters, nannies or coons. “When there were films about coloured people, there was always a white saviour. After 1994 there were mostly ‘rainbow’ stories with coloured, whites, blacks and Indians and even in these stories we always had a stereotypical role like the coloured gangster or the coloured nanny,” he says. The series is filmed in and around the Cape Flats, with most of it being filmed in Athlone. The cast includes actors from Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, Bishop Lavis and other areas on the Cape Flats. The charities that will benefit from proceeds are Athlone School for the Blind, Christine Revell Children’s Home, St Francis Children’s Home and Bokmakierie Feeding Scheme. Tickets cost R50 and are available through Quicket.

LEVEL ONE
SPRING HAS SPRUNG: With
Economy set to be ‘back on track’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
here is finally light at the end of the tunnel, as South Africa has moved to level one of the nationwide lockdown. While many joke that residents in some parts of the Western Cape have been on level one since the beginning of the lockdown, the move after more than six months of lockdown means more economic activity can resume, and also the opening of borders to receive tourists. The border departure and entry points will be limited to one of the land border posts that have remained operational during the lockdown or Cape Town International Airport, King Shaka International Airport in Durban and OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. Travel agent Ross Cupido says the move means they can finally get back on track. “We made the largest portion of our sales assisting international tourists. We have a network of accommodation and excursion providers that have also struggled. “The problem is South Africans would rather go overseas than to explore their own country, so as much as they give other agents overseas work, tourists give us work,” he says. For those who do travel locally, Cupido says they often book trips and accommodation themselves through social media, word of mouth or other online sites. During his address to the nation on Wednesday 16 September president Cyril
Ramaphosa said travel may be restricted to and from certain countries that have high infection rates. On arrival, travellers will need to present a negative Covid-19 test result not older than 72 hours from time of departure. Where a traveller has not done a Covid19 test prior to departure, they will be required to remain in mandatory quarantine at their own cost. Besides travel, below is a look at the changes level one will bring. . Venues will again be able to accommodate events. Facilities such as theatres and venues will be able to accommodate up to 50% of their total venue capacities (not more than 250 indoor and 500 outdoor). . Funeral attendance is increased from 50 to a maximum of 100. No night vigils allowed. . Venues for exercise, recreation and entertainment such as gyms and theatres – which were limited to no more than 50 people – will now be allowed to accommodate up to 50% of their venue’s capacity. . Still no sporting events. . Voter registration will take place at prisons, old age homes and other facilities. . Curfew will now be between 00:00 and 04:00. . Alcohol sales will be permitted from Monday to Friday. . Alcohol can be sold at licenced establishments for on-site consumption only and with strict adherence to the curfew. Sanitising, masks and social distancing protocols remain in place.
inclement weather dominating for the first few weeks of September, it was difficult to tell that a change of season had already occurred. But as much as we may not have realised it, nature surely has shown it in the colourful daisies and daffodils that have sprung up all over the city over night.

Ek is Chantel van Rondebosch. Ek het moed verloor nadat ek alle kruiekenners probeer het in Weskaap want niemand kon my help nie. My geliefde het my gelos, ek het 2 hofsake gehad en 33 jaar gewerk en geen geld gehet. Gelukkig lees ek van Tania, wie toe vir my gelukkige LOTTO nommers gee (7, 9, 12, 14, 19, 25). In November verlede jaar het die geluk my getref met die Lotto. My finansiële probleme was opgelos, my hofsake was gekanselleer en ek het weer liefde gevind. Hulle het ook gehelp met derde party-eise en pensioenfonds-uitbetalings.

Blitzbok quality family time AVRIL FILLIES
Q
uality family time, catching up on assignments, experiencing the traffic during peak hour and not being able to have contact sessions were all part of the “new normal” for the South African Sevens team, the Blitzboks, in Stellenbosch for the past six months. With the country moving to level one of lockdown from midnight on Sunday 20 September, the squad will be slowly but surely moving back into full competitive mode with all Covid-19 protocols in place. People’s Post’s Avril Fillies spoke to some of the players in Stellenbosch at the medal ceremony when the team received their HSBC Sevens silver medals for finishing second in the World Series after New Zealand. This was after only six tournaments, with four tournaments being cancelled due to the pandemic. “It was tough training on your own with no gym facilities at home and you had to be resourceful to at least do weight training with 5F bottles of water. We arrived home from the American-leg of the series, were immediately quarantined for 14 days and we all thought it was only going to be for three weeks,” says player, Branco du Preez. The team was on a high after winning the inaugural Los Angeles-leg of the series, with
Enter online chess tourney Western Cape Chess Association is hosting an online Heritage Day fundraising tournament in support of the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) West Coast on Thursday 24 September. The prize is R5 000 sponsored by Club Mykonos. “Western Cape Chess is proud to be associated with Cansa. They are doing a sterling job in supporting families that are affected by cancer,” says spokesperson Ricardo Minnaar. Those at risk for major complications from Covid-19 include those who are older (particularly over age 70) and those with underlying health conditions such as chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease — and cancer. Western Cape Chess would like to call the general public to support the cause. “All entry fees to the tournament will be donated to Cansa West Coast.” He hopes players will donate money in addition to their entry fees and non-players will also make a donation. V For information or donations, contact Ricardo on 081 546 2221.
Du Preez winning the title with less than two minutes to spare. “Back home it was quite an adjustment not to see or train with the other players during the lockdown, you had to do it on your own and in isolation. In the past you saw very little of your family as you were focused on the next tournament and the next tournament,” Du Preez says. Besides training on his own, he also handed out food parcels and food to residents in the Kraaifontein area as one of the sporting ambassadors for the Be the Difference Foundation. Meanwhile, Ryan Oosthuizen hit the books and finished his assignments for his LLB degree. “What the lockdown taught me was that you must accept things that you cannot change and move on. Now we have to re-focus on our preparation for next year, and not being able to compete in competitions is also a blow,” Oosthuizen says. Chris Dry spent some of his time during the lockdown on a farm and was doing other chores in and around his home in Stellies. “My thoughts went out to the Sevens teams of England and Wales whose rugby programmes were cut and who would have competed in the Olympics as team Great Britain. With people passing on due to Covid-19 during the lockdown, it forced me to take stock of my life and how to keep myself and others safe,” Dry says, adding that he can’t remeber what
the ball looks like and is eager to get back in training. Zain Davids says the time he spent with family and friends during the lockdown cannot be measured in remuneration. “When we start the new rugby season we are so focused on what we have to do on the rugby field that family comes second. Now the roles are reversed and you realise that your family is not only there to drop you off at the airport or pick you up. I value the time that I spent with them in the past six months and when we are on full throttle for the Olympics
we will all reminisce about the time spent during the lockdown,” Davids says. What they are going to miss is the presence and chatter on the training and match fields of Cecil Afrika, whose contract was not renewed when it expired at the end of June. They agree Afrika was influential in the performances of all the players in the squad as he was sharing his knowledge and also helped them to perfect their skills.
