Safety on show The 2020 State of the Province Address (Sopa) held in Mitchell’s Plain on Thursday 20 February was history in the making as the first venue to host a parliamentary sitting and Sopa outside the parliamentary chambers and precinct. The address saw residents and invited guests join in on the occasion. The event was held at the Rocklands civic centre and was preceded by a platoon parade by members of the provincial safety structures. Pictured, the Metro police equestrian unit formed part of the parade procession. Read story on page 9. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

No to ‘vigilante’ attacks RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
ensions are still high in Vrygrond, Seawinds, Hillview and Overcome Heights informal settlements after a week of suspected vigilante attacks left at least three people dead. The deceased were allegedly set alight on the Little Italy sports ground in Overcome Heights on Sunday 16 February. They victims are believed to have been suspects in a spate of break-ins. The trio was allegedly cornered by residents who then assaulted them with various objects before setting them alight. According to a resident of Hillview, who asked to remain anonymous for safety rea-
sons, said: “The people wanted to set an example. They said the ones who they burnt were breaking into their homes in the settlement and stealing. The residents are tired of it.”Videos of the incident quickly started to make the rounds on social media. In the footage, residents are seen trying to douse the fire with sand. Capt Stephen Knapp, the spokesperson for Muizenberg police, said the case is under investigation and the victims will only be identified once DNA tests have been completed. At a meeting held at the murder scene on Tuesday 18 February, residents from the surrounding communities gathered to discuss the incident. A common opinion among the crowd of more than 50 was that police and law enforcement officers did not at-
tempt to help the victims. In response, Capt Knapp said: “I wasn’t there, but if police were on the scene they would have helped. They would have assessed the situation and have done the best they could.” On the same day, after the community meeting came to an end, at about 16:30, a security guard was shot in the face near the murder scene. Capt Knapp said this attack was concerning. “We are looking into the motive for that attack, too. What is disturbing is that nothing was taken from him – not his cellphone or wallet,” he said. Residents alleged that this attack was also committed by vigilantes who wanted to send a message. At a community meeting, attended by Mayor Dan Plato, in Overcome
Heights on Wednesday 19 February, residents expressed their frustration at the alleged lack of police assistance. Gerry Gordon, councillor for ward 67, and Shanen Rossouw, councillor for ward 110, were also at the meeting. Gregg Fick, paramount chief at First Indigenous Nation of Southern Africa, told Plato: “Our people demand that there be arrests of those vigilante leaders.” He went on to claim: “Capt Knapp met with them so he knows them! The government of the Western Cape, your first responsibility is the defence and safe keeping of our community. Mayor, the community is not safe. We want arrests. Our people demand arrests.” Continue on page 2.

icardo Titus, a resident of Hillview, is calling for an end to violence after several people were killed this past month. A survivor of a violent attack, he says the murder of another three people on Sunday 16 February brought back terrible memories of his ordeal. “This is affecting me – starting with the two guys they found burnt in the field about a month ago,” said Titus. The incident Titus is referring to happened on Saturday 25 January. In a statement, Capt Stephen Knapp, spokesperson for the Muizenberg police station, confirmed that on this date, at approximately 05:30, two people were murdered and set alight at Little Italy

Capt Knapp denied the claim made by Fick and said: “The motives and the crime are under investigation. And community leaders need to refrain from making this a racial issue or trying to score political points.” Xolani Hontlo, a respected leader of Overcome Heights also spoke out at the meeting on Wednesday. He said there were several issues the mayor needed to address. “We are sick and tired of people threatening us in our shacks. Our children are traumatised by what’s going on here. Can

We cannot allow the residents to be judged and executed by the people.” V Email racine.edwardes@media24.com to comment.

He alleged that the people involved in the incident also used weapons. “I got a fright when I saw a guy coming towards me with a chain and a padlock and I wondered if he was really going to beat me with that and he started beating me. They tried to burn me; there are burn marks on my chest.” Since then his hair has grown back and his wounds have healed but the emotional scars remain. “These incidents are affecting me because they just brought all these memories back. So I want to say that sometimes people are innocent.” Titus joined a group of residents from Hillview and surrounds on a march to Muizenberg police station where they opened a case against the alleged “vigilantes” on Tuesday 18 February.

sports field in Overcome Heights. “The identities of the two deceased have been established and both deceased, aged 31 and 34 years, were residents of Hillview.” Titus said he almost shared their fate. About a year ago, he was also a victim of a mob-justice. “I jumped over the fence (near Overcome Heights) but I was on my way to fetch my child’s clinic card because I was scared to go through the shacks. They caught me and they accused me of breaking into the cars – but I was just walking through,” he explained. “They started just beating me – every one that came. I tried to explain to them that they know me; that I always walk past here. They beat me so badly that I passed out. My head was open.”

Cry ‘Bingo’ for youth development RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
he Healing Heart Foundation (THHF), founded by an alumnus of Steenberg High School, Natasha Thomas, is raising funds for a computer centre at the school where classes and extra-mural activities can take place.
On Saturday 7 March, the organisation will host a Bingo event at Coniston Park recreation centre. For the past two years, Thomas has run the Jam (Joyfully Applying Myself) Centre from the school to bring about a mind shift in youth affected by crime, drugs, gangsterism and the lack of positive role models.
“We run personal development programmes with them. It teaches life skills to our learners from Grade 8 to 12.” Thomas adds: “The objective of the centre is to enhance social development, to encourage the children to successfully complete their high school education, to access opportunities and to reduce the school dropout rate.” To this end, THHF works with the school, providing programmes and activities to keep learners academically involved. Next term, Thomas will launch an afterschool tutoring support programme. With the funds raised, THHF hopes to make use of the three classrooms offered by the school, who supports the programme. “One is a centre where Grade 8 to 10 learners currently have programmes. THHF facilitates sessions with learners to guide them to identify their talents, gifts, passions and to encourage them to not be afraid to pursue their dreams,” she says. These programmes are complemented by a career expo held each year to make
learners aware of opportunities. She continues: “The second room is designated as a counselling room where we will do parent and scholar counselling sessions, and soon we will do development and debriefing for educators. The last classroom is for the computer centre. “We want to use the centre as a research resource because 30% of learners’ year-end grade is made up of tasks and projects. “We also hope to partner with an organisation to facilitate basic computer and coding courses so that learners are computer literate by the time they matriculate.” Funds to provide the much-needed services to the learners and to help develop the community are being raised through a series of events such as the Bingo game. Bingo cards (R10) and booklets (R50) can be purchased to support the project and prizes will be up for grabs during the event, running from 15:00 to 18:00. V Email admin@thehealingheartfoundation.org or call Natasha on 021 180 3068 or 068 000 4901 for more information.
Children agree that the The Healing Heart Foundation’s programmes are educational, helpful and enjoyable.

Applications for the new academic year now open T
he online application process for the 2021 academic year has officially opened. Parents are encouraged to apply online using the provincial department of education’s application website: https://admissions.westerncape.gov.za Parents who are unable to register online can also apply manually. Schools have been informed that paper-based applications must also be made available. “Unfortunately, since opening on Monday 17 February, there have been several
technical challenges beyond the department’s control. However, the problems are being addressed and a large number of parents have already registered and submitted applications on the site. Over 8 400 people registered on the site on Monday and 3 688 completed the application process,” read a statement from the department. Parents have until Tuesday 17 March to complete applications. After the closing date, schools will select applications based on the overall batch received.
Bursaries available for scarce skills training The Shoprite bursary applications for the 2020 academic year are now open and top students studying scarce skills including information technology (IT), chartered accounting, supply chain management and logistics, pharmacy and retail business management are urged to apply. Comprehensive bursaries are awarded to
assist with tuition, books and accommodation fees. Each bursary comes with a workback agreement, which would see the successful applicant ensured a job opportunity upon graduation. Visit the Shoprite Holdings website today to apply for a bursary for the 2020 academic year. Bursary applications close at the end of June.
YOUNG LEARNERS SHINE BRIGHT: Steenberg High School honoured its top-achieving learners for 2019 earlier this month during a special awards ceremony held at the school. Learners met a very special school alumnus, Jamie-Lee Domburg. She attended the event in support of the school’s learners. The up-and-coming starlet is now a presenter on the television programme, “Expresso”. Parents and residents congratulated the learners on their impressive work last year.

RETREAT | MITCHELL’S PLAIN
Making seniors feel they matter RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
A
local business is giving back to the community by treating seniors to a day of pampering. By giving their tresses some well-deserved attention – blowing out their locks and helping them to look their best – elders from Retreat, Steenberg and Mitchell’s Plain no longer feel neglected. Charnee Swartz, the owner of Ignite and Co beauty salon on Military Road, said she had been struck by the idea one morning. “I’m passionate about people and one day I just woke up and this voice told me to give back to my people. The first thing that came to mind was seniors – I thought of them and I knew,” she said. After sharing her idea with her husband, Cheslyn Swartz, the owner of the salon, she saw that he was just as eager as her to provide support and funding. She began the initiative to treat seniors to a free hair appointment every Wednesday in January. “They are pensioners. They can’t afford to go to the salons – I even had a lady crying because it was the first time she had her hair done in her life. Some of my clients have even started bringing jewellery and things to give to the seniors,” said Swartz. “The R700 (a month) or whatever they get from the government is not enough to survive,” she added. Her mother, also a pensioner, in part inspired her to give back. “I know the struggles she has, so I thought of them. To make people feel that they matter is important to me,” says Charnee. Marilyn Collins (58) from Montague Village, in Lavender Hill, said her days were filled with mundane activities and that the initiative had given her something to do. “(If I
wasn’t here) I’d be at home, watching TV, listening to CCFM and making a cup of tea or coffee,” she said. The eight women who attended agreed the staff made them feel welcome and comfortable. Shariefa Hoosain (70), from Mitchell’s Plain, said she was involved in a seniors’ club near her home. They did activities, sports days and excursions, but Ignite and Co was one of the places that kept her looking her best. Margaret Durban (71), who was a childminder before retiring, is accustomed to taking care of others. But her needs are not always met. In addition to receiving a fresh look, she said: “I’m pleased that I came here. It was nice to meet this nice bunch of ladies.”
Seniors who attend the free sessions are referred to the salon by organisations assisted by the department of social development. Charnee said she had more in the pipeline. She also wants to help the youth. “We are living in gang- and crime-infested environments. Our streets are flooded with idle youth,” she said. Charnee will identify young women interested in receiving some grooming and will be doing their nails as a community service. “This is also a call-out for others from any area to form part of the project. And if anyone wishes to donate refreshments on Wednesdays, that would be welcome,” she said. V For more information, call Ignite and Co on 062 731 2633 or visit: www.igniteandco.co.za.

Sopa speaks to ‘wants and needs’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he 2020 State of the Province Address (Sopa), delivered by Western Cape premier Alan Winde on Thursday in Rocklands, was his second in his five-year term since his
Metro police and Law Enforcement officials.
election last year. The address highlighted the successes of the past seven months and outlined the plans put in place by the current government for change, development, growth and improvement in the province. Key matters raised in Winde’s speech

were employment, electricity outages and economic growth. Winde started his speech by outlining some of the recent successes in service delivery, including the safety plan and deployment of 500 additional law enforcement officials, and the province being named the top job creator in the country. “In the national government stats released last week, it was announced that the Western Cape created 24 000 new jobs for the quarter, more than half of the net jobs created in our country. We are South Africa’s jobs province,” said Winde. “When I delivered my first Sopa in July last year, we vowed to ‘get to work’. Over the past seven months, we have certainly done just that. Since being elected, I have visited dozens of communities, I have met with thousands of citizens, and we have received tens of thousands of emails, texts and calls, telling us what you want and need,” said Winde. “We have heard you. You don’t want smart cities and bullet trains. You want working cities and normal trains that get you to where you need to be, safely and on time. You want a government that focuses on getting the basics right, and actually delivers.” Winde shared a four-point plan to make the province less reliant on Eskom, therefore relieving residents of load shedding. The decision comes after an announcement by president Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Thursday 13 February where he announced provinces could generate their own energy. Winde said the province was a goldmine for renewable energy. However, he expressed concerns that the province may not be able to benefit as the president had not outlined the stipulations of producing its own energy. After the spate of school break-ins and vandalism, the province would also look to install 30 high-security fences at schools each year for the next 30 years to keep learners and teachers safe, said Winde. Further, Winde said the province would continue to fight for the management rights of the rail system in the province, stating “we can do it better”. While this request has been denied on several occasions, Winde said they would conduct a feasibility study on moving control of rail away from the national government. The local government would also introduce
a game-changing minibus pilot project which would use technology to monitor and improve the behaviour of taxi drivers. “There will be increased investment in public transport infrastructure, including ranks, stops and shelters, to improve the daily experience of taxi commuters,” said Winde. Funding in excess of R250 million has been made available from the private sector, the national government and the City of Cape Town to ensure 1 000 unemployed youth are trained and placed in jobs in the next financial year. The plans for the next five years in office were guided by the several visits conducted by Winde and his cabinet and includes safety and corruption concerns. “Bolstering the forensic unit which looks into municipal matters to strengthen accountability at this level of government and to root out any risk for potential corruption,” he said. “You told us your families are not safe because drugs, gangs and gender-based violence are tearing them apart. Within less than four months of taking office, we have delivered. In September, we launched a comprehensive, province-wide safety plan aimed at halving the murder rate,” he said. More needed to be done in working together with other government departments and spheres, said Winde. “I also have to be frank with you. South Africa is in bad shape. Last week, we heard from the president that youth unemployment is at an all-time high,” said Winde. “Fewer jobs also mean less tax money, which means budget cuts to health and education departments across the country.” He welcomed the decision to bolster youth employment and development programmes and offered some of the province’s successful projects as blueprints. He stated that with more funding from the national government, this would be more successful and would assist in stemming the unemployment issue in the country. Winde concluded his address with a promise to not rest until this change was felt by everyone in the Western Cape: “We will not slow down until you as the residents of this province see and feel the progress of our delivery first hand – our success is your success, and your success is ours. Our job together is to build a better South Africa. We dare not fail, as our future depends on it.”

Rain puts skids on results GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
T
he stakes for promotion in the Western Province Cricket Association’s First Division A has heightened following the last round of fixtures played on Saturday 22 February. Rain had a significant impact on the results with the teams batting second benefitting from the reduced overs. Log leaders Green Point were shocked by lowly placed Kuils River who won by 6 wickets thanks to an undefeated 51 by Aldo Jantjies. It’s now become a three-horse race with Primrose and Rylands breathing down their necks following their wins over Kraaifontein ( by 19 runs) and Milnerton (by 4 wickets ) respectively. The biggest losers of the day were United who posted the highest score of the day 273/6 against Ottomans but a wet pitch thwarted
their attempts at victory. For United Saulieg Raynard (98) was the top scorer and was, unfortunately, run out short of a deserving century. In the Premier League, Bellville bounced back to the victory trail by the narrowest of margins via a 2-run win over Claremont. UWC enhanced their position on the log with a comfortable 8-wicket win over Brackenfell. Results: Premier League: Bellville beat Claremont by 2 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method. Bellville 229 (Gerhard Janse van Vuuren 78, Marcus Fourie 47, Aaron Smith 23; Gavin Dickenson 5/48, Darren Stevens 2/23). Claremont 136/9 (Darren Stevens 40, Matthew de Villiers 38; Justin Dill 4/17, Evert Carstens 2/31, Dirkco Welthmar 2/40). Rondebosch beat Langa by 9 wickets

Super League title race hots up NOORE NACERODIEN
I
t was another bumper double-header weekend for the Cape Town Softball Association. The race for the title of Super League champions was turned up a notch when Lavender Hill surprisingly dropped points against Glenthorn A’s in their women’s Super League clash at the Turfhall Softball stadium in Belthorn Estate on Saturday 22 February. The A’s batters were in top form by taking 10 hits off the Lavender Hill pitching pair of Melissa Savage and Grivonne Rhoda. Leading the offence were Chante Pepino (2-2) and Candice Ross (2-3). Chaunees Goliath kept the Lavender Hill batters at bay giving up just four scattered singles. Lavender Hill’s closest rivals Westridge Yankees had another superb weekend beating Heideveld Yankees (17-0) on Saturday and Glenthorn A’s (11-4) on Sunday 23 February. After Glenthorn’s superb performance on Saturday, they came unstuck against Yankees on Sunday. The game was marred by four defensive errors by Yankees in the first innings. Nazeem Dulvie, Yankees’ coach, gave his charges a tongue lashing and they finally pulled their game together. Barring the errors, Nathalie Abrahams and Megan Cable gave up only one hit each in the game. A’s rotated their pitchers to stem the tide of the Yankees batters to no avail. Chaunees Goliath, Lisa Erasmus and Moesfiekah Abdurahman gave up 12 hits to the Yankees batters. In the late game on Sunday, the young Falcons pitcher, Amy Minnies, could not contain the Lavender Hill batters giving up nine hits, including a triple to Melissa Savage. Antonio de Bruyn and Kelsey Fortuin topped the batting with a 2-3 average each. Rhoda and Savage again shared the pitching duties for Lavender Hill and jointly gave up a mere 4 hits and striking out 8 batters. In the Major League, Yankees secured the title over the weekend. On Saturday they despatched with Belhar Dolphins (17-1) and beat Kuils River Cougars (23-1) on Sunday.
