‘Team Alta’ voltooi Epic vir tehuis
Niel Rossouw (heel links) en Leon Erasmus (heel regs), oftewel “Team Alta”, het die naweek die uitmergelende Cape Epic-bergfietstoer voltooi. Dié vriende, albei oorspronklik van Goodwood en deesdae van Brackenfell, het met hierdie 658 km-toer geld ingesamel vir die Alta du Toit-narsorgsentrum vir intellektueel gestremdes in Bellville. Hier is hulle saam met Brian Hill en Sandra Pool, inwoners van die sentrum, by die eindstreep. Vir verdere navrae oor fietsryhemde, bandjies of borg per kilometer, kan Marina van der Meulen gekontak word by marina@altadutoit.org.za.
GOODWOOD: POLICE SUFFERING FROM SEVERE MANPOWER SHORTAGE
Police under strain CARINA ROUX

oodwood police are suffering from a severe manpower shortage. This was one of the matters raised at the Goodwood Community Policing Forum (CPF) annual meeting held last Monday 19 March. John Ross mentioned in his chairperson’s report that on occasion there was only one patrol van available. He said there were a few deaths in the local police last year and these staff members have not been replaced, thus putting further strain on the already stretched resources. James Ellis, chairperson of Glenwood
Neighbourhood Watch, wanted to know whether there was any news of new recruits, as there seems to be a lot of pressure on the current police officers due to their colleagues retiring or being transferred and not being replaced. Colonel Sibusiso Mntambo, who took over as the station commander in December, acknowledged that it is a huge concern. “We’re facing a big problem,’’ he said and then made mention of at least three more staff members that will be leaving the local police in the near future. Mntambo said he will have a meeting with the cluster commander to address the issue.

Lieutenant Colonel Hennie Rademeyer, who was acting station commander for most of last year, said they had some students at the police station recently, but only in an observational capacity. He was not sure whether they would return. Rademeyer added that the new court will also require more police officers, which will put them under further strain. Goodwood falls under the Tygerberg Police Cluster, which consists of seven police precincts. The others are Bellville, Bothasig, Brackenfell, Durbanville, Kraaifontein and Parow.

person, said from a provincial perspective the number of officers at a station and the number on the books is not always the same. He said Brackenfell police have 100 officers at the station even though the provincial office says they have 156 officers at the station. Fifty-six members were lost over 18 months to specialist groups created across the province to help with high-density crime areas with high murder rates like Khayelitsha, Nyanga, Philippi and Kraaifontein. Kraaifontein police, he said, have 336 members on their books as they received an additional 56 members from stabilisation units. V To page 2.
