C
ol Jan Alexander, the station commander at Steenberg police station, celebrates 30 years of service in Saps. Sometimes a policeman’s job can be unforgiving and thankless, but Alexander says his family’s support and maintaining a healthy and balanced body and mind kept him going. Since starting in the police on 6 June 1988, Alexander has filled several positions in the force at just as many locations; having been stationed in Bellville, Atlantis, Klawier and Lansdowne, to name a few. With three decades of law enforcement under his belt, he says the role of a policeman requires “integrity, trustworthiness, obedi-
ence to the law, respect for diversity and public approval”, and this leaves no room for criminals. During his years of service, he has witnessed many highs and lows. He notes the best part of his job goes beyond just catching the bad guys. “The moment you see a positive change in the community – when the crimes that are normally committed are no longer being committed – that is the high point in my job,” he says. Alexander has been the station commander at Steenberg police station since 4 August 2015. He says the widespread presence of gang activity in the area is very challenging. He believes it is only through cooperation
and unity that the community will be able to eradicate or reduce the high crime rate in the area. “The community needs to step up and say, ‘Enough is enough’. If they do not do this, they will keep on going with the flow and turning a blind eye. The moment they stand on their principles, they will not tolerate crime anymore.” Due to the nature of the job – the types of crimes policemen and women encounter – being a police officer is not for the faint of heart, he says. Alexander hits the gym regularly to keep his body fit and he spends quality time with his wife and three children outdoors to keep his mind balanced. His time spent with his family, however,

often does not go uninterrupted. He regularly has to tackle work duties during his off hours to ensure the wheels of justice keep on turning. He is driven by his passion for his work and his desire to serve the community. Alexander asks residents to help in the fight against crime. “By not speaking up against the gangsters, the community is giving them the power to take control. The community has to work with us to make Steenberg safer.” Alexander says some residents always make a point to assist and support the police. He encourages all residents to do the same. V Anyone with information on crime is requested to contact the Steenberg police station on 021 702 9000 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

“I do it out of love, nothing else,” says Ma Sally. “I don’t ask, I knit the jerseys. When it’s cold I think ‘Oh, there’s a child with a jersey on’.” Ma Sally, who is a retired domestic assistant, says knitting is therapeutic to her. “For me, it’s like a therapy. It keeps my brain working.” Ma Sally, who grew up in the countryside of Groot Drankenstein, moved to Cape Town at the age of 17 following her parents’ divorce in the late 1950s. “I had to leave school to go work before completing my senior certificate. Then I came to Cape Town in my early years and started working as a domestic servant until I got married to my husband,” she says. “18 January 1969,” her husband Joseph adds to the conversation. According to Ma Sally, she had a relatively stable life from then. “I had a place to stay in District 6. We lived there for 10 years, in a room. Then we bought this little house and we’re still here, for 40 years.” Ma Sally and Joseph have two daughters: José Franz, who is deputy vice-chancellor of the University of the Western Cape, and Deirdre Spandiel, an occupational therapist in George. Ma Sally says, she gave up working as a domestic assistant 30 years ago when her first grandchild, Jody, was born so that José could return to her studies. “That’s when I carried on with my love for knitting,” says Ma Sally, who believes that those whom she knits for don’t have to know where the jerseys come from. She says there is no greater feeling than being able to continue serving the world.
Even though Ma Sally prefers knitting in plain wool for schools she supplies from the goodness of her heart, her talent and meditative concentration skills are visible in the jumpers she knitted for herself and her husband for their getaway later in the year. PHOTO: BENITA JAFTHA “Like I say, it’s like a therapy,” explains Ma Sally. “Knowing that I can do good at this age is a feeling money can’t buy.” Ma Sally is regarded as a mother figure in The Shining Light social community group she belongs to. She says she is thankful above all that she and her husband have set a foundation for their children and grand-
children to continue the tradition of serving their communities. “I thank God that my children and grandchildren are giving,” Ma Sally says. “I wrote this morning in my memory book that it’s all by God’s grace, nothing else. We have nothing without God’s grace.” Despite having five grandchildren, Ma Sally says she does not knit for her grandchildren’s school. “I don’t knit for a school where my grandchildren go, because their parents can afford. I am knitting for schools where there is a need.” Ma Sally says she prefers good quality wool and ensures to always source wool accordingly. “I always buy the best wool. When you do something for the Lord, you give your best – that’s my belief.” She was nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by Parkvale Primary through one of the school’s regular volunteer assistants, Rhonda Arendse. “Ma Sally is a loving, caring, wingless angel,” Arendse wrote in the nomination. “Every year she hand-knits jerseys for the needy learners at our school, all this done at no cost.” She produces eight to 10 jerseys at a time for learners, Sarah “Ma Sally” Dantu (centre) surrounded by her angels: her husband, Joseph and members of The which she distributes in abunShining Light community group (from left) Pauline Williams, Charlotte Frazenberg, Johanna Stephens, dance and at no cost, through Rhonda Arendse, Hohanna Bloys, Cathlene Roman and Wilemina Felix.

City tackles domestic violence head-on The City of Cape Town’s metro police and departments of social development and early childhood development host several programmes and initiatives to curb domestic violence throughout the year. “Women and children across the city are still suffering under high levels of domestic violence. As a city which aims to be world class, we cannot sit by idly where women, children and the elderly are abused and not respected. Domestic violence awareness and education is one of the four focus areas of the social crime prevention (SCP) interventions of the metro police department and is aimed at breaking the silence around this scourge,” said Cape Town mayor, Dan Plato. SCP has presented the eight-week workshops in Manenberg, Elsies River-Leonsdale, Belhar, Khayelitsha, Harare, Temperance Town in Gordons Bay, Goodwood, Kuilsriver, Hout Bay and Hanover Park. The presentation is also delivered on request at primary and high schools, NGOs,
churches and during school holiday programmes. “Unfortunately, the myths around domestic violence abound. It is not caused by alcohol and drugs and it is certainly not limited to a specific demographic. Domestic violence happens in all our neighbourhoods across economic boundaries,” said Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. Victims of domestic violence are often unaware of the resources available to them, their rights granted by the Domestic Violence Act or the steps they can take to ensure their personal safety. “As part of the programme, officers have a brochure which details what domestic violence is and how help and services can be accessed. I want to encourage communities to speak up and speak out so we can ensure the safety of everyone. It is an ill we have to tackle together,” said Smith. In addition, the departments of social development and early childhood development are set to roll out their Men’s Pro-
gramme to all areas of the city. The pilot project, which took place in Delft last year and which facilitated the training of 50 men, explored several social aspects linked to violence against women and children. This included gender relations as shaped by culture, tradition and religion; substance abuse; HIV/Aids; parenting; and cultivating positive role models. Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, said: “The Men’s Programme aims to change behaviour by unpacking the complexities that characterise the epidemic that is genderbased violence. Men must be included in the interventions within communities.” The project has three phases: training, post-training support, and the formation of men’s groups that will meet once a week and also recruit and train more participants in future. In the current financial year, each area will have a Men’s Programme for 50 men which will speak to their specific context and requirements.

The Seawinds lowlift sewage pump gets a R85 million upgrade. PHOTO: RACINE EDWARDES
SEAWINDS
Lowlift pump gets an upgrade RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
he prayers of the residents from Seawinds and Retreat have been answered, with the City of Cape Town having commenced upgrade work on the foul-smelling lowlift sewage pump. The upgrade will cost the City’s water and sanitation department R85 million, and is scheduled to be completed within the next 15 months. Residents say the pump has continually presented them with issues which include the smell; the open land sitting with gutter water, which has now been fenced off since construction began; and the infestation of mosquitoes and flies during the hot summer months (“Residents fed up with smell”, People’s Post, 30 July).
Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg said in a statement: “The construction of the new pump station will drastically improve operations in the Retreat and surrounding areas.” The upgrade of the facility will include the construction of a new concrete structure above and below the ground, including all mechanical and electrical components. Once the new station is up and running, the old one will be demolished as it has reached its lifespan. The statement noted structural changes that will take place in the area. “During the course of the construction the contractor will be required to do temporary additional pumping to accommodate the existing sewage flows. The construction includes the rehabilitation of a 1.2km in length sewer line, which is situated in St Peter and St Patrick
roads in Seawinds.” Zerilda Park Primary School’s principal, Lorna Engeldoe previously expressed her frustration at the smell and the sound that comes from the pump. Regarding the new construction she noted that contractors have taken her learners’ test timetable into consideration; bringing construction to a temporary halt during big test days. “I have been writing to the council almost every month for 30 years, and finally something is being done.” She adds that the once open land presented safety issues for the community at large, with numerous people falling victim to theft there; and she is relieved it has been fenced off. Dealing with the problem of the smell, Limberg has also confirmed that the new installation will have an odour control system that will eliminate all smells.

day.” Etienne Basson, environmental programme coordinator and facilitator for Earthchild Project in Lavender Hill, shared that the garden has also provided a safe haven for children who constantly find themselves in trouble. The benefits of the garden can also be seen, he said, in the opportunity it allows for learners to come in contact with new animals and species. According to the school’s cook, Sybil Classen, the only problem they have experienced with the vegetable garden is a constant need for new recipes to make use of all the fresh produce.

HERITAGE MONTH
Celebrating marine life heritage NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
A
s part of the ongoing Heritage Month celebrations, Two Oceans Aquarium will host a unique commemoration focusing on a range of species housed at the aquarium. The aquarium will raise awareness on South Africa’s natural and marine heritage through its online audience, using social media posts and blogs. Renée Leeuwner, spokesperson for the aquarium, says heritage is not just about buildings and artefacts, but also about the country’s endemic animals, marine life and plants that only few people know about.

“The more people learn about our natural and marine heritage, the more they will grow to love it, and be inspired to look after it. Whether it is our cultural, traditional or environmental heritage, continued awareness is important,” says Renée. She calls on the public to consider learning about marine heritage and protecting it beyond Heritage Month. Among others, there will be emphasis on the Galjoen, South Africa’s national fish. “There are so many things that we can be truly proud of. Just look at the City Nature Challenge that took place earlier this year – Cape Town won,” Renée says. V For more information visit: www.aquarium.co.za.

CRIME STATS
Steenberg murder rate drops W
hile residents have expressed serious concerns regarding the high number of murders that take place in the Steenberg policing precinct, police minister Bheki Cele’s crime statistics for 2018/2019 have shown a reduction in the murder rate during the past year. Steenberg police station’s crime statistics for the past year show a 6.1% increase in ‘contact crimes’ which include murder, sexual offences, attempted murder, common assault and robbery, assault with the intention to inflict grievous bodily harm (assault
GBH) and aggravated robbery. Murder itself however has been reduced by 3.6%, with two fewer murders reported. Aggravated robbery in the area has increased by a massive 40.3%, from 134 to 188 cases reported. The most notable reduction was in the area of assault GBH which had 13 fewer reported cases in the year. Robbery at residential premises had a 200% increase, with six cases reported. Cases of arson were reduced by four from the previous year – an 80% reduction. With a total of 54 more cases of contact
crimes reported at Steenberg police station during the year, it is clear that extra measures need be taken to improve the safety of Steenberg, Retreat, Cafda, Hillview, Seawinds and Lavender Hill residents. Some of the other statistics for the Steenberg policing precinct include: . Sexual offences, which fall within the category of contact crime, decreased by 6.8% with five fewer cases being reported. . Contact sexual offences increased by two cases from the previous year, while attempted sexual offences decreased by one
case, 33.3%. . Common robbery increased by 9.8%, with nine more cases being reported this year, bringing the total up to 101 from 92. Robbery at non-residential took a positive drop by 75%, with 12 fewer cases being reported this year than last year. . Shoplifting, commercial crime and all theft not mentioned elsewhere increased by 13.7%, with 24 more incidents having been reported during the 2018/2019 period. V See the full report on www.saps.gov.za/services/crimestats.php
Stats show police have lost the war on crime – Premier Despite last year’s promises from police minister Bheki Cele and the service he leads, violent crime in the Western Cape remains effectively unchanged, that is according to a statement from premier Alan Winde’s office. He was commenting on the latest crime statistics. They were released on Thursday 12 September, covering the period between April 2018 and March 2019. “I’m deeply concerned that murder increased by 6.6% in the Western Cape. Of these, 47% of incidents occurred in just 10 police stations. The murder to population ratio in the Western Cape is 60 per 100 000
– almost double the national average,” he said. Provincial minister for community safety Albert Fritz also expressed his concern. “Murders reported in the Western Cape account for 18.9% of all murders in the country, while the province only accounts for 11.6% of the population. “A total of 11 Western Cape police stations are recorded among the top 30 in the country. This is unacceptable and points to the need for more boots on the ground and more regular statistics. Police need to adopt evidence-based policing, which would lead to deployment at key times in key hotspot locations.
Walking in silence NETTALIE VILJOEN Hundreds of people from Newlands and the deaf community gathered in the area for the 5km Silent Walk on Friday 6 September. The annual event, arranged by DeafSA Western Cape, is aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of the deaf community in the province. Participants were asked to wear earplugs for the duration of the walk and to communicate using sign language only. Starting from
Bastion of the Deaf, corner of Thickett and Hemlock roads, participants followed a route that meandered through Newlands. Premier Alan Winde was one of the energetic people who put on their walking shoes to commemorate Deaf Awareness Month. Provincial ministers Albert Fritz, Sharna Fernandez and Anroux Marias also attended. Winde said doing the walk with earplugs in and in complete silence gave him a small glimpse into what the deaf community experiences every day. “I think walking a mile in
“We need our police to be in these hotspots before crimes are committed, not after,” he said. Winde referred to last week’s solidarity protests which saw thousands of people standing up against gender-based violence: “We’ve seen communities impacted by gang violence saying ‘enough’. But when asked about whether heads would roll, minister Bheki Cele said he didn’t believe they should, implying he finds this situation acceptable. President Cyril Ramaphosa and minister Cele should not find the crime situation in this province acceptable at all.” He said as a province they cannot wait
someone’s shoes and experiencing what they go through on a daily basis is so important in building understanding and empathy in our society. I encourage other residents to take part next year.” Fritz, the provincial minister of community safety, said it was quite a challenging task as it demonstrated how much we rely on sound in our day-to-day lives. “From a safety perspective, it showed the additional risk that deaf people face as they cannot hear people or things which may threaten their safety. Even walking on the street can be a challenge as you cannot hear a car hooting.” Halfway through the walk, par-
for the police to get its house in order. “This government has been working on a safety plan which will focus on both enforcement and protection. We will announce this plan soon. In the meantime, we continue our call for policing to become a provincial mandate as these statistics have shown that the nationally managed police have lost the war on crime.” Fritz said his department will conduct an in-depth analysis of the stats to look at specific trends. “Police management has a lot to answer for, and it is my hope that they will be held accountable for their failure to ensure that the people of this country are safe.”
ticipants completed callisthenics. On their return, they were treated to snacks and various performances. Fritz said he was grateful for having been invited to the event by DeafSA. “It has increased my awareness and understanding. I look forward to returning again next year,” he said. The event is supported by WesternCape on Wellness (WoW!), a healthy lifestyle initiative of the provincial department of health. The Western Cape government supports initiatives and organisations that encourage inclusivity, and which heighten awareness of deafness, disability and of other marginalised groups.
Members from the Newlands and deaf communities participate in the annual Silent Walk.

NATIONAL BRAAI DAY
More than meats the eye Jason Allen, owner of The Hussar Grill in Steenberg, shows how to make a bearnaise sauce at the Steak Masterclass at Silwood School of Cookery.
NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
uesday 24 September is Heritage Day, aka Braai Day; and yes, while salads, sauces and braai broodjies are indispensable supporting acts, for most, the star attraction will be the meat. Jason Allen, the owner of The Hussar Grill in Steenberg, says no matter which cuts you buy or where you shop, meat is expensive. So when you do buy, make sure you buy the best and don’t waste your money by overbraaing it. People’s Post recently joined Allen at the Silwood School of Cookery in Rondebosch for a Steak Masterclass where he shared advice on how to do exactly that. Firstly, he says, don’t deviate from quality and always buy fresh. “Unless you have a long-standing relationship with your butcher, stay away from prepacked marinated meat,” he says. Jason also recommends that you rather buy your meat from a butcher than a supermarket. “The problem with buying meat from big chain stores is that you are not always sure what you are buying.” He explains that besides the grade of meat, you also have to take into consideration the beef’s breed and if it was grain- or grass-fed. A booklet handed out at the masterclass says South Africa produces 85% of its own beef with the rest being imported from Botswana, Namibia and New Zealand. Local breeds include the Nguni, Afrikaner, Brahman, Angus cross-breeds. Feeding techniques have an impact on marbling (streaks of fat in lean meat) and the ratios of unsaturated fats versus saturated fats. “At Husser Grill, we serve A-grade, grain-

fed Angus beef. If you want flavour, buy meat with marbling, or better still, meat that is still on the bone. But be careful not to mistake marbling for sinew. Fat has a slightly yellow tinge to it while sinew has a shiny, white colour,” he says. Allen says there is nothing worse than chewing and chewing on a piece of sinew. “Simply remove the lining of sinew by sliding a sharp knife under it. There is no need to dig into the meat, the sinew usually cuts away quite easily.” The tenderness of the meat has a lot to do with the muscle it is cut from X the work the muscle does and the rate it does it at. Meat cut from the shin, leg and cheek do a lot of work and need slow, long cooking. Rump, the most popular steak in South Africa, is cut from the hindquarter which needs to be matured. It has a layer of fat that provides extra flavour. Fillet does little or no work. It can be served rare to medium-rare. Of all the cuts, fillet is by far the most tender and it has almost zero fat content. It is cut from the long muscle which runs underneath the backbone of the animal. Jason says if you are going to buy a head of fillet don’t go smaller than 1.8kg and no bigger than 2.2kg. “If it falls out of these perimeters it might be a sign that there was something wrong with the cattle. Either it was under-nourished or it was injected to grow faster.” When it comes to the actual braaing, here are a few tips provided at the masterclass: . Do not freeze your meat. It stops the maturation process and retains water, making the steak dry and flavourless. Ask your butcher to vacuum pack each steak individually and let it wet-age in the fridge for up
to 28 days or more. If the bag blows, have it re-vacuumed immediately as oxidisation will set in and the meat will discolour and go off. . Steaks must be at room temperature. Don’t cook directly from the fridge. Room temperature steaks achieve more even cookthrough due to the shorter time required to cook the centre. . To braai the perfect medium-to-rare steak, grill it for one minute per centimetre of thickness per side. For example, if your steak is 2cm thick grill it for two minutes on the one side, then flip and grill it for two minutes on the other. Do not “roll” the meat, in other words, sear the sides. . If the meat has bone or fat on it, grill it bone- or fat-side first. This is called rendering the fat. The meat will absorb the flavour of the fat as it melts. Remember to cut (shallow incisions about 2cms apart) into the fat to prevent it from curling. . For steak, the coals should be glowing and your clean grid should be oiled (sunflower or olive oil) to ensure that the steak turns easily. Avoid too much flame. Keep hot coals aside and braai chicken and wors first. Then scrape over the hot coals for the steak. . Lightly brush your steak with olive oil and season with your favourite spices. Do not use salt on raw meat. It absorbs moisture and dries out the meat. If you like, you can add it after the meat is done. . Use tongs, never a fork, to lay your steak on the grid and to turn it. A fork punctures the meat, draining the fats and juices. Also, don’t press down on the meat with your tong. Just let it sizzle. . Ideally, steak should be basted at least once on each side during the grilling process, then, just before serving, coat it one
more time. . Allow the steak to “rest” in a warm area for at least three to five minutes as it enables the meat to “relax” and the juices to flow more readily. Upcoming Steak Masterclasses with The Hussar Grill will take place on 10 October, 14 November and 28 November. V To book your place and pay, go to https://www.silwood.co.za/steak-master-class-1/.

All roads lead to Turfhall T
he annual three-day Softball South Africa (SSA) Masters tournament will kick-off at Turfhall Softball Stadium on Saturday 21 September. Organisers say the event is going to be “bigger and better than ever before” as a record number of 20 ladies’ teams are scheduled to take part in this year’s tournament. “The Masters, a division of SSA, utilises this event to honour those sporting legends, heroes and icons that made a significant contribution to the development, transformation and growth of softball in South Africa,” says SSA spokesperson Karen Blanchard.
Last year’s ladies winner, Westridge Yankees Maestros, will be back to defend their title,. However, Battswood, Blackheath, Kenfac Phillies, Michigan, Table View Tornados and Mandela Bay Flamingos (all the way from the Eastern Cape) are the newcomers to watch. In the men’s division, last year’s winners, Flames, are back in action, with Cape Town teams Pirates, Khayelitsha Eagles and Table View Tornados to garner some strong support from locals. SSA says there will be enough to keep the
crowds entertained throughout the tournament, with live broadcasting of other weekend sporting action on the clubhouse’s big screen. “The tournament falls in September, which is Heritage Month. Our theme for the tournament is: ‘Celebrating Heritage in Diversity’. We have introduced a heritage prize for the team that best displays heritage and diversity in colour,” adds Blanchard, confirming that the winner will receive R5 000. The local softball fraternity joined hands with their baseball counterparts to show
their solidarity against gender-based violence, which the award will further go on to highlight on a national level. “With the violence happening in our country, we need to celebrate our heritage, our diversity and remind each other of Ubuntu, I am because we are. “As Softball Masters Organisation, we pledge to use sport to celebrate our heritage and to strengthen our social cohesion. We sincerely thank the media in advance for their support in covering the Masters Tournament. The countdown has officially begun,” says Blanchard.
