he Mitchell’s Plain detective who recently took top honours at the regional police awards has done it again. This time taking home the national title of Detective of the Year. Detective Sgt Randall Davids of the Mitchell’s Plain police station accepted the award on Sunday 26 January in Port Elizabeth. His citation reads: “The member is meticulous and expedient with his investigations. This was evident in his ability to link two separate cases and amass enough evidence to secure a conviction for a rapist-murderer – who was handed down four life sentences – at the high court within eleven months. The member investigated the rape and murder of a six-year-old girl in Mitchell’s Plain in 2018. The forensic evidence linked the girl’s murderer to an unsolved case at the

Davids has been in the police service for close to 16 years and was influenced to pursue this career from a young age. “Growing up watching crime series, I felt motivated to fight crime one day and to make the community safe. My area was gang-ridden at the time and I wanted to be involved in turning people away from crime,” says Davids. Davids has been a detective for 13 years. “The satisfaction of solving cases, giving families closure, the team work by the unit are all positives that keep me motivated,” he says. “I believe that its by God’s grace that we are able to serve and fulfil our calling in life. There are challenges and the job can be demanding and make a person feel despondent at times, however being focused on your goal will enable you to stay positive.”

HEINZ PARK
Fires leave residents homeless R People's Post is published by WP Media, a subsidiary of Media24. MITCHELL'S PLAIN 69 503 copies distributed Tuesdays to the following areas: Rocklands, Westridge, Portland, Strandfontein, San Reno & Bay View, Beacon Valley, Eastridge, Lost City, Tafelsig & New Tafelsig, Colorado Park, Heinz Park, Lentegeur, Merrydale, New Woodlands, Rondevlei, The Farm, Mont Claire, Weltevreden Glen, Weltevreden Valley, Woodlands, Mandalay, The Leagues.
esidents living in Heinz Park woke up to pandemonium on Monday 27 January when several informal structures went up in flames. The seven families, who were all asleep, were caught unaware and lost everything. Mothers had no time to even bundle their children up in clothing and literally had to run for their lives. Firefighters had a difficult time extinguishing the blaze as access to the property was hindered by the lack of proper roads, water points and the fact that the structures were very near the train line. Strong winds exacerbated the situation and within minutes the structures were
razed, destroying furniture, clothing, groceries, electronics and personal documents. Disaster relief charity Islamic Relief was contacted to see how they could assist. After a risk assessment by their regional programmes officer, Levona van Aarde, the team rallied around the distressed families providing them with meals for the evening, offering them clothes, shoes and other necessities like toiletries and water. “This is a recurring scourge that remains one the larger challenges among our people. We urge members of the public to work with us to alleviate the grinding poverty that so many families find themselves in,” says Van Aarde.

Islamic Relief SA assisted seven families in Heinz Park following a fire.
HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED?
The seven families – nearly 40 adults and children – are all relatives of a pensioner, Dennis “Oupa” Tarantaal who has been living in the settlement for the past nine years. Tarantaal sustained burns to his scalp as he tried to rescue his family members. He remains hopeful and positive that the community and the City would assist them. Shack fires are notorious on the Cape Flats and this part of the settlement has been the scene of other tragedies in the past. Residents recounted how two young sisters were killed in a recent blaze. Several residents voiced their anger at the City about the lack of facilities and services in the area. “For all the years I have lived here, I have never seen a councillor here to attend to our needs. If I saw him in the street I wouldn’t recognise him,” says resident Sharon Tarantaal. She has been living in various structures over the last two decades. The councillor for ward 88, Patrick Ngqu said he was grateful there was no loss of life and added: “Because these families are squatting on land belonging to the train authority Prasa, the City is bound to consult officials there first about an amicable solution. These urgent talks are currently underway.” V To make a donation, call Islamic Relief on 0800 111 898 during office PHOTO: REZAA KASU hours.

Millions go towards library upgrades trandfontein library has been closed for maintenance as part of the City of Cape Town’s R10 million upgrade project. Several libraries across the city will benefit from the initiative, with some upgrades already complete. Some of the other upgrades will take place at Brown’s Farm, Kuils River, Bonteheuwel and Ravensmead libraries. Close to R1 million has been set aside for painting, a new issue desk, lighting upgrade and internal layout changes at Strandfontein Public Library. Work is set to be completed by next month. While Strandfontein is already closed, the Brown’s Farm Library will close today (Tuesday 4 February) for 13 weeks to allow for painting, floor replacement, a revamp of the study area and electrical work at a cost of R1.5 million. The upgrade initiative is funded by the City’s library and information service. Further upgrades to Langa Public Library will see the library reopen in March after being closed yesterday (Monday 3 February). Dates for the Khayelitsha upgrade has not yet been finalised. “Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve and are ac-

cessible and safe spaces, providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge. The City is often asked why it spends money on upgrading and maintaining libraries in a technological and digital age, and it’s because these spaces are essential to creating and maintaining an educated and literate population,” says Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. All the City’s libraries undergo maintenance and upgrades in a five year cycle. “Our libraries are well-loved and popular spaces where residents access vital information, and are provided with recreation and other opportunities to develop literacy and learn skills for employability,” he says. While many see libraries for their books and as knowledge houses, the libraries offer much more, says Badroodien. “Apart from their core mandate, libraries also offer a gateway to the digital space for learners, jobseekers, entrepreneurs and the public in general through our SmartCape system. However, the service is under serious threat due to ongoing cable theft and vandalism,” says Badroodien. In November last year, the City spent around a R500 000 on repairs to several libraries around the city including Rock-

investment into the education, future and empowerment of our communities. “Libraries culturally enrich the areas they are in and serve as a community focal point. Libraries offer a safe space and vital resources that might not be available elsewhere,” says Badroodien.

The officers were hand-picked by station commander Brig. Cass Goolam. Through their efforts, police visibility has already greatly improved.
Why you should report crime A crime stat is only recognised once it has been reported to police, that is according to Charnel Hattingh, spokesperson for one of the country’s security firms. She says newspapers and social media channels are filled with reports of ATM fraud, cellphones being snatched while people are waiting for taxis and other opportunistic crimes, yet, only a small percentage of these crimes are reported. “A large number of crimes simply go unreported because of the nature of the crime or because of a lack of confidence in the system,” says Hattingh. She says selective reporting of crime is problematic as it contributes to the dissemination of misinformation around crime, rather than accurate and contextualised information which the police and private security companies can then work on to apprehend the suspects. “No matter how big or small or how insignificant you feel the crime is, it needs to be reported. If the suspects are apprehended at a
later date there is often no charge as there has been no complainant or case number to attach it to,” says Hattingh. Here are six reasons to report crime: . It helps with establishing crime trends and provides authorities with invaluable information on how to best allocate resources. . If a car’s registration number is reported, the police can immediately start tracking the vehicle and carry out stop and search intercepts. The presence of license plate recognition cameras in large parts of the country means there is a better chance the vehicle can be tracked down, no matter where it goes. . It helps in understanding both the motive and modus operandi of the crime and how crime prevention strategies are being deployed. . It ensures suspects can be sent to jail once they have been apprehended. Without a complainant and case number, there is no case. . It helps to better understand and respond to safety issues.
. It can lead to more arrests as your crime could be a critical link to another similar crime and could result in an arrest. Police say many people who get their cellphones snatched while outside waiting for a lift, forget to report the crime at a later stage. “Understandably,” says Hattingh, “you do not want to get stranded on the side of the road without a phone so you still jump into your ride and go home. That is fine but you need to report the incident once you are safe and in possession of another phone or go to the police station with a friend,” she says. “A community approach to fighting crime is essential and always pays dividends leading to safer communities. It starts with a commitment from residents to report crimes accurately and a follow-up commitment from police and other influencers in the sector, like the private security industry, to follow up on all leads and react proactively to trends and incidents to reduce crime levels.”

Police are urging residents to remain vigilant following an increase in street robberies. Most of the robberies are reported in AZ Berman Drive, Morgenster Road and Wespoort Drive. These are part of the main routes that people use to travel and do their shopping. Police say the most prominent day for street robberies are Fridays, between 12:00 and 18:00. The modus operandi is that a group of two to four men with firearms target pedestrians for cellphones, jewel-
lery and cash. Following the robbery, the suspects usually flee on foot. The public is urged to work with the police through structures such as the local community policing forum (CPF) to bring down the number of incidents. A few safety tips are: • Know your emergency numbers; • Don’t carry large amounts of cash; • Let a trusted person accompany you when you are going to withdraw cash;
• Keep your cellphone hidden when walking in the street; • Should you be robbed, make a noise to attract attention; • Always be aware of your surroundings; • When you go anywhere, always try to move in a group; • Be crime conscious. Be aware of crime opportunities at all times; • Trust your instinct. If you don’t feel safe somewhere then move away quickly; • Take note of suspects’ clothing, face and hair, etc.
Police say Wespoort Drive, Morgenster Road and AZ Berman Drive have become hotspots for robberies. LEE-JACOBS

Sights, sound and splendour as carnival heads for City streets SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121 It has been a decade of splendour for the Cape Town Carnival having lit up the streets of Cape Town with colour. Looking ahead to the next 10 years, the 11th carnival will celebrate the “Incredible journey: sounds of South Africa”.
The official theme was launched at Nasdak, the rooftop venue at the Media24 centre, in the CBD on Friday 31 January, beginning the 50 days’ countdown to this year’s event. “We started with one float in Long Street with 12 000 spectators,” says Prof Rachel Jafta who has been part of the carnival for several years. She says, this year, carnival goers can ex-
pect to see and hear parades inspired by all local sounds – from marimba to marabi, uhadi to riel – showcasing the music, song, dance and art of our country. Jay Douwes, CEO of Cape Town Carnival, says: “We are celebrating 10 years of igniting joy and unity through creativity. Through this project, we have seen the incredible ingenuity and talent of our people and are
proud to have been able to provide the platform for locals and international visitors to experience this.” People’s Post is an official media partner of the event. General access to the carnival is free but bleacher-style terraced platform seats are available for purchase (R350 each) along with the ultimate Cape Town Carnival hospitality experience – exclusive raised-platform seating, including drinks and finger foods (R1 390 each). Reggy Moalusi, head of corporate affairs for Multichoice South Africa, says: “At the end of the day, we want to enrich people’s lives and make a positive and valued difference. That’s what makes our partnership with the Cape Town Carnival compelling.” Several exciting floats, along with 2000 performers, will again line the streets. To close the show, a float inspired by the Afro-future will excite audiences and offer an insight into what organisers believe the future of the country and the carnival will look like. The much-anticipated Cape Town Carnival will take place on the Fan Walk on Saturday 21 March. Thousands of spectators are once again expected to line the streets. Cape Town mayor Dan Plato says the City is excited to once again be part of the carnival as it is a unique opportunity that unites people from all over the city. Plato says they will continue to enforce their stance on gender-based violence and use their platform to say: “Enough is enough”. V Samantha Lee-Jacobs took these photos.

ou may not have heard of the Urban Caracal Project but, with the increase in property developments, you are more likely to see one of the big cats on your next outing. Dr Laurel Serieys, the project coordinator, is spearheading the research on caracals in Cape Town’s urban areas. Serieys, who is also a wildlife biologist and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cape Town (UCT), established the project in 2014 to discover how urbanisation affects the movements, habits and behaviour of the animals; explore the threats to the species and to find baseline information of how many of the species are found in the Cape Peninsula. “Urbanisation is ever-expanding globally. More and more animal populations will be based in, or very close to, a city. Nearly half of the world’s human population lives in cities. Trying to conserve the wildlife that lives in and near cities is not only increasingly important for biodiversity conservation glo-
bally as cities grow but those wildlife populations are important to help us (humans) form bonds with nature,” she told People’s Post. To date – with the support of UCT, Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa (iCWild), SanParks, the Universities of California (Santa Cruz and Los Angeles), the City of Cape Town and private landowners in Cape Town – Serieys and her team have managed to tag some of the local caracals and monitor them. “It is difficult to estimate how many there are because you don’t often get to see the caracals. But my gut feeling is that there may be 50 caracals across the entirety of the Cape Peninsula. “We’ve seen one young male caracal move from Rhodes Memorial to Cape Point in a matter of weeks. One of our adult males, Titan, uses all of the South Peninsula! From Kommetjie to Cape Point.”
With rapid development across Cape Town, the roaming space for these animals has become less and they are more exposed to the threats of crossing roads and becoming roadkill, as well as consuming pesticides. Roadkill has been found on Ou Kaapse Weg, Orpen Road in Tokai and even on Kloof Nek Road in the city. However, Serieys says the cats tend to be shy and don’t often travel to where people are. “Overall, there are a lot of people hiking and using trails in Table Mountain National Park every day but most people never see caracals even though they are in our mountains.” Surprisingly, they have been spotted in the Cape Flats. “Some people see them in Tokai and Constantia too. They are found throughout any protected areas in Table Mountain National Park,” she says. She explains they will usually not attack
Caracals can be spotted across Cape Town – in the mountains and throughout SanParks’s protected areas. PHOTOS: URBAN CARACAL PROJECT a person. They would rather hiss. If you do see one, she adds, appreciate the sighting. “Even as a caracal biologist, I have rarely seen one when I’ve been out hiking and I’m always jealous of people who do get to see them!” V To report roadkill, call 079 837 8814; or donate to the cause at www.urbancaracal.org/support.

Artists converge for celebration M
ore than 200 artists and arts leaders from South Africa and around the world will gather at the Baxter Theatre for the Rolex Arts Weekend on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February.

the 2018-2019 protégés of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative with their mentors. The two-day celebration pairs master artists with emerging artists in several disciplines for a period of creative exchange. “The Baxter is a most appropriate venue for the Arts Weekend,” said Rebecca Irvin,

their mentors. Foot says the opportunity to host the event is an honour for her and for the Baxter. “As the years go by, I find that my yearand-a half with Peter, nearly 15 years ago, has become richer and more meaningful. As I become more of a mentor and as my writing evolves and I take on bigger challenges with my directing, I find that the time with my mentor becomes more recent. So, in a sense, it never really ended.” This year the event is being curated by Fruzsina Szép, the Hungarian-born festival and artistic director of Lollapalooza Berlin, who also served as an arts initiative nominator, helping to identify suitable potential protégés for the programme in 20182019. Highlights over the weekend include dance, architecture, literature, music, arts symposia and cinema. The Arts Weekend kicks off on Saturday from 10:00 to 11:30, with the symposium entitled “Who is Unrepresented in the Arts Today? The Arts in Times of Polarization”, in the main theatre. Professor Homi K Bhabha will lead the discussions with Foot, AnneMarie Jacir, Yo Yo Ma and Wole Soyinka. The Sunday programme starts at 14:00 until 15:30, with the second symposium, moderated by Bhabha, with William Kentridge, Tracy K Smith, Mira Nair, Stephen Frears and Robert Wilson, entitled “Other Muses: Inspirations from Elsewhere”, in the main theatre. In addition to the symposia and the mentor-protégé events, an Arts Weekend Cinema at the Baxter’s Golden Arrow Studio will feature films about the Rolex Arts Initiative, with past and present mentors and protégés. These screenings are free and will take place from 12:00 until 21:00 on both days. Ticket prices are R100 and R50 for students. All proceeds will go the Baxter’s Zabalaza Theatre Festival.

GOVERNMENT
Health department gets a new head A
successor for the current provincial head of health was officially announced on Thursday 23 January. Dr Keith Cloete will take up office on Wednesday 1 April, following the retirement of Dr Beth Engelbrecht. Provincial minister for health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo says: “Dr Cloete has deep roots in the communities of the Western Cape. Hailing from Worcester, and having studied medicine at the University of Cape Town (UCT), he performed his internship at Groote Schuur, New Somerset, Peninsula Maternity and Red Cross hospitals. He started his professional career as a medical offi-
cer at the Mitchell’s Plain Community Health Centre, and has worked in multiple positions towards the senior management level in the department over the past 28 years. I believe he is well-positioned to grasp the community needs but also the complexities of the wide range of health systems challenges. He has also worked extensively in inter-governmental initiatives locally, and has participated nationally and internationally as part of various health initiatives.” Cloete has outlined some of his focus areas for the next five years to include serving every member of society to have a healthier and more dignified life, working collabora-
tively with citizens and all sectors of society to address the health care needs of all citizens, as part of providing universal health coverage and creating an endearing culture of trust and mutual respect within the department. He will also focus on investing in the development of the capabilities of all staff members to provide leadership and being able to cope with the ever-increasing complexities faced in the healthcare system and to continually improving the healthcare system in the province. “I am humbled by the responsibility of the position that I will hold. I am thankful for
the opportunity to play my part to contribute towards the greater good, with a special commitment to the most vulnerable members of society. I thank my predecessors for the solid foundation that has been laid to build upon, and pay my sincerest appreciation to especially Dr Beth Engelbrecht for her exemplary leadership and for creating an enabling and person-centred culture in our department, over the past five years. I am extremely fortunate to be able to work with an exceptional team of managers and clinical staff members. I believe that we will continually improve our healthcare system in order to serve our society better.”

Yankees beat Eagles in KO semi NOORE NACERODIEN
T
he Turfhall softball stadium was abuzz when Westridge Yankees beat Khayelitsha Eagles 11-7 in the men’s Major League knockout semi-final on Sunday 2 February. Eagles took seven hits off veteran pitcher Wendall Solomons who struck out seven batters and gave up six free bases. Yankees out-hit their much-fancied opponents taking 11 hits off Moses Molaba. Solomons also led the offensive for Yankees with a superb 3-4 batting performance, including a double and a triple. Yankees will meet their old foes, Hamiltons, who defeated a young Tantasport 14-8, in the finals in March. In the women’s Super League knockout semi-finals, Lavender Hill easily defeated Kenfac Phillies 13-0. The win means they will meet Westridge Yankees, the only team that beat them this year, in the final in March. Yankees booked their place in the final after beating a gallant Glenthorn A’s 13-8 after the teams were deadlocked at eight-all in the sixth innings. It was the power batting of Nicole Williams (3-4), Jacky Adonis (2-3) and Nuraan Williams (2-4) that saw the Yankees cross the finish line in style. Lynn Lakay (3-4) shone with the bat for A’s.
US college tour The week-long visit by the Gustavus Adolphus College from Minnesota in the United States of America, was a hit with officials and players. The morning clinic, conducted by the visitors, was well attended by young players from local clubs and schools. Later in the afternoon, the college team showed their on-the-field prowess in their first of three matches against a Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) representative team. The CTSA team came out tops 3-2. The college plays two further matches on Wednesday 5 and Friday 7 February, both at 19:00.
