‘Pray to curb crime’ GARY VAN DYK

Pastors are calling for more prayer to curb crime in the area.

While the group, Pastors of Wesbank, is concerned about the constant rise of gangsterism and drug abuse, the recent discovery of three bodies in a field in the area has prompted them to start a series of prayer sessions that will be held at the Wesbank taxi rank, but want to invite congregations from all areas where crime is becoming rampant.

On Saturday at about 10:30 police

were called to a crime scene at an open piece of ground in Voorbrug Road, next to Voorbrug High School.

A passerby informed police that several bodies were lying in the field.

On further investigation police recovered the bodies of three men, lying 20m apart.

The identities of all three deceased are currently unknown and the men all suffered gunshot wounds to the head and back.

All the victims appear to be in their mid-twenties and police suspect that they might be from the

Wesbank area.

One of them was dressed in a blue and navy top, blue jeans and white shoes.

Another victim was clothed in a bright yellow hooded top and grey, check pants with no shoes.

The third victim had on grey jeans, a cream jacket, a brown hooded cap, and a navy-blue jersey.

At the time of going to press the circumstances for this shooting were unknown but the possibility that the incident might be drug or gang-related will be investigated.

Anyone with information or who might have witnessed the crime is

kindly requested to contact the investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Paul Cillier on 021 954 9062, all information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

A resident in the vicinity of the discovery, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation, said the area surrounding the field was known for its drug outlets.

She said this also impacted on the school because many of these drug dens held an open-house for learners, with disastrous results for the whole area.

“I know that they are targeting the learners because they want to

destroy our children in the community,” she said.

“You can sit here all day and see those yards with no fences that just have gangsters sitting around waiting to invite their customers in, and the police are doing nothing.

“With so many of them operating we were waiting for something like this to happen – there was bound to be a drug war starting, and this is the start of it. I also blame the neighbours of these dens because they know what is happening but won’t come forward to tell the police, and its destroying the community.” . To page 2.

Hope after deep depression ANDRÉ BAKKES

Just a few days before Ulrich Strauss (38) went into rehab for his drug addiction, he asked his six-year-old daughter to give him her gold chain.

“Daddy just wants to make it smaller for you so you can wear it,” he said at the time.

She fetched the gold chain, put it in his hand and said: “Daddy it’s okay. I know you need it. Take it.”

That was the defining moment in the life of a desperate drug-addict.

Drugs gave him comfort and meaning.

Once it was taken away from him, he filled that hole with God. Yesterday’s self-destructive existence was replaced with selfless sacrifice, and what was once a deep lake of depression has been transformed into an exuberant shower of hope.

And finally, the drug dealer became a pastor at Lofdal International Ministries and

Traffic cops’ blitz on drag­racers

A total of 127 traffic-related fines were issued at an illegal street racing event in Goodwood last week Wednesday evening.

According to Subcouncil 4 chairperson, Alderman Clive Justus, traffic officers have noted that a well-known tyre company holds a monthly function at N1 City which attracts motor clubs, whose members play loud music and participate in drag racing along Frans Conradie Drive.

The focused operation yielded positive results when four vehicles were suspended due to mechanical defects, 11 unlicensed drivers were fined, four for failing to display number plates and 97 for speeding which took place in Giel Basson Road, Milton Road and Frans Conradie Drive.

Justus says this is a prime example of how the traffic department succeeds by using a “minimalistic approach”.

“There are limited staff in the department, but they do their work to maximum benefit,” he explains.

During the operation, one of the managers of the tyre company was arrested on charges of having false number plates displayed on a suspected customer’s Hummer SUV. Justus elaborates: “A motorist, whose vehicle was suspended approximately two weeks ago at another drag racing operation in Mitchells Plain, was also found driving the same car with a laptop on the dashboard while the passenger tuned the vehicle at different speeds using the laptop. A cable was also directly connected from the car battery to the exhaust to allegedly measure decibel readings and carbon emissions.”

The driver was charged accordingly.

Justus says mayoral committee member, Alderman JP Smith recently motivated the need for additional officers, but that this alone would not suffice to make roads safer.

“Road users need a change of mind from lawlessness to becoming law-abiding citizens. People just simply don’t want to adhere to good road practice!”

Meanwhile, traffic services nabbed 800 offenders in a Hospital Bend clampdown during peak traffic on Wednesday.

During the late afternoon peak, officers conducted an operation focusing on serious moving violations like disregarding the channelising lines, overtaking on the left shoulder and cutting in after passing at critical points along Nelson Mandela Boulevard – all of which impact on traffic congestion and add to the frustration of law-abiding motorists.

Officers noted that most of the offences were committed by motorists in sedan passenger vehicles, rather than by public transport operators.

Of the 256 channelising line offences noted, 38 were minibus taxis and two were trucks.

Empowering women with knowledge on health care was the order of the day on Wednesday last week at the Mfuleni Police Station.

The somewhat 20 women who attended, came from Mfuleni, Wesbank and Blue Downs. Among some of them were communi-

ty workers and counsellors.

The talk was given by Nokonwaba Ndongeni, a child and youth care practitioner.

Sometimes adults do not know how to touch on sensitive topics such as Aids, HIV and sex. Ndongeni said that most adults usually shun their children away or try and change the topic when children want to talk to them about such things.

This talk was to encourage women to have these talks and to play a positive role in their child’s life.

Ndongeni made the women aware of how important it is to have an open and honest relationship with their children.

They were made aware that if they were not open health talk at Mfuleni Police and honest Photo: Chilton Mellem with their chil-

dren about sensitive information, they would learn these things elsewhere.

Usually when they get information elsewhere, they get it from their friends who are not always the best of examples.

They might be enticed by material things which could get them involved into things such as sex work and gangsterism.

An exercise was done with the women to demonstrate the value of trust when they were asked to lie on each other by putting their heads on each other’s laps. While this was done, a chair was pulled out one by one.

Afterwards women were given a chance to share their experience of the exercise. Emotions of being scared, embarrassed and uncomfortable came across from the participants.

Through this exercise they were also taught that they were the greatest support system for their children.

They were told that it is important to be your child’s friend as well, that way children will not only trust you but will come to you willingly with problems. It is important to have this level of trust with your child as it is important to know where your children are and what they get up to.

The women were also given time to ask questions and give feedback.

A woman from Heather Park was attacked in her sleep by five unknown people on Monday, 16 April.

According to W/O Annacletta Mothoalo, spokesperson of Kleinvlei police the woman was sleeping when she heard a noise. The noise was that of her door being kicked open.

Lavis cops’ good fight Bishop Lavis police were once again into their winning ways in their fight against crime this week.

On different occasions the Cluster Task Team and members of the crime prevention unit reacted on information from members of the community.

In one incident they arrested a 30year-old man from Eleanor Street, Valhalla Park, who was in possession of an illegal firearm, and upon searching the house they confiscated two stolen computers as well.

In another incident in Dissel Road, Bonteheuwel, while the police were busy with patrols in the area they observed three unknown males standing on the corner of Dissel and Camelia roads.

The suspects fled the scene on foot when they saw the police. As police chased them one of the suspects was seen throwing a plastic bag on the ground.

They arrested the 24-year-old suspect and upon investigation found two guns and ammunition inside the bag.

The police want to thank the public for their help, without the ears and eyes of the public the police will not have such big successes. . The Bishop Lavis police are also requesting the assistance of the public in an incident of a culpable homicide.

On Wednesday 25 April at about 11:15, a white Volkswagen Golf, driven by a female who was on her way to the airport, struck an unknown African man crossing the bridge on the Airport Approach Road.

The man appeared to be in his 50s, and died at the scene of the accident.

He was dressed in blue jeans, blue and white Puma takkies, black T-shirt, cream socks and yellow cap.

Contact the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Pierre Bothma on 021 935 9802/3.

It was then that five unknown intruders entered her house.

Four of the intruders were men and one of them was a woman. According to the victim the woman had covered her face with a cloth.

Two of the men proceeded to rape the victim while the other two started stealing things out of the house. A plasma TV and DVD player were some of the items that were

stolen from the house.

Mothoalo said the victim said she heard the woman laughing in the next room as she was being raped and heard her use a catch phrase saying, “I am here and you are that side”. This was done in a bragging fashion.

The boyfriend of the victim is a police officer and some ammunition and police pepper spray were also stolen.

Pop culture ‘driving kids to drug abuse’ GARY VAN DYK

Social dysfunction and tolerant pop cultures are driving more youth to drug use.

Retired activist and concerned community member, Dhakir Christians has pointed out recent research that clearly shows how drug abuse continues to emerge as a strategy among youth to cope with the problems of unemployment, neglect, violence and sexual abuse.

At the same time, there is considerable abuse of drugs among socially integrated young people and this

may be attributed in part to the fact that significant portions of the world’s youth population are being exposed to a culture that appears to be more tolerant towards the use of drugs.

Christians says in terms of the abuse of drugs among young people in the Western Cape, abuse of amphetamine-type stimulants such as tik, is constantly rising and spreading.

“The changing perception of cannabis (dagga) among young people, the increasing abuse of amphetamine-type stimulants and the widespread abuse of other drugs indi-

cate a need for innovative approaches and the adaptation of prevention strategies aimed at reducing the demand for illicit drugs in which our government has failed us,” he said.

“We face a shortage of rehabilitation facilities and law enforcement to deal with this. Those that are in existence are only there to make money.

“My biggest concern is that one of the worst aspects of the drug problem is that it affects primarily those who are most vulnerable, such as youth between nine and 20 years.”

OPROEP OM VOORSTELLE PLAASLIKE EKONOMIESE ONTWIKKELING GROEIFONDS Of jy nou ’n onderneming in ’n landelike of nie-landelike gebied van die Wes-Kaap bedryf, is jy net die persoon wat nou hier moet lees... Ons weet hoe moeilik dit deesdae is om ’n suksesvolle onderneming in baie dele van die platteland te bou – of selfs in dorpsgebiede wat nie te ver van ons groter stede of dorpe geleë is nie. Ons weet dat jy al die hulp wat jy van die provinsiale regering kan ontvang, sal waardeer. Dit is waarom ons dink jy die denke agter – en die implementering van – ons Plaaslike Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling (PEO) Groeifonds sal ondersteun.

Spesiaal vir jou daargestel, is die fonds se mikpunt om geleenthede vir groei-georiënteerde ondernemings soos joune te voorsien – in landelike en nie-landelike gebiede van ons provinsie.

Toegang tot die fonds is baie eenvoudig. Al wat nodig is, is dat jy by die idee moet inkoop dat samewerking tussen ondernemings ’n wye reeks opwindende moontlikhede teweeg kan bring – selfs al is jou onderneming een van die kleinstes op die dorp. Die samestelling van ’n ‘sakegroep’ – bestaande uit ten minste twee sake in afsonderlike besit – in jou gebied kan jou op ’n pad van sukses plaas wat jy nooit voorheen gedink het moontlik was nie.

Wanneer jy jou groep gevorm het, gaan na die PEO-verteenwoordiger by jou munisipaliteit of kontak ons en versoek ’n aansoekvorm vir die PEO Groeifonds. Amptenare daar sal jou al die nodige inligting gee om die vorm volledig te voltooi. Die idee is dat provinsiale regeringsbystand die produktiwiteit en mededingendheid van jou onderneming (en dié van ander) sal verhoog – en dat dit in ruil groei en werkskepping sal bevorder. Die fonds is daarop gemik om van hulp te wees in areas soos produktiwiteitsverbetering, navorsing en ontwikkeling, opleiding, eiendomsregte, markstudies en behoeftes in marktoegang, en innoverende idees en voorstelle.

Maar onthou net: die sukses al dan nie van jou aansoek sal van vier dinge afhang: • Die aansoekvorm moet vergesel wees van ’n voorstel wat verduidelik hoe ondersteuning van die regering die produktiwiteit van jou onderneming sal verhoog • Jy sal ’n vennootskap met ten minste een ander onderneming moet aangaan • Vir jou aansoek om suksesvol te wees, moet jy dit saam met die regering mede-finansier – Rand-vir-Rand • Die aansoek kan nie vir die vestiging van ’n nuwe onderneming of entiteit wees nie.

Wat van jou vereis word: • Kollekteer en voltooi ’n aansoekvorm • Stuur dit aan Casidra by die volgende adres: Aandag: Leon Faro, Casidra, Posbus 660, Suider-Paarl 7624, tel: 021 8635000 • Wees gedurende die assesseringsproses beskikbaar vir ’n ter plaatse onderhoud met die assessors • Stel enige bykomende inligting wat op die aansoekvorm mag ontbreek beskikbaar, of wat bykomend tot die inligting op die aansoekvorm benodig word.

He pointed out that this transition from adolescence to young adulthood is a crucial period in many cases where experimentation with illicit drugs begins.

“Drugs may have a strong appeal to young people who are beginning their struggle for independence as they search for identity.

“Because of their innate curiosity and thirst for new experiences, peer pressure, their resistance to authority, sometimes low self-esteem and problems in establishing positive interpersonal relationships, young people are particularly susceptible to the allure of drugs.

“This experimentation with drugs also has an effect on the rate of HIV/Aids that is increasing among young people, with drug use a major cause of infection.

“Another tendency among parents that must change is that these hookah pipes are okay, but this could be the start of a destructive pattern for their children.”

While Christians is not involved with anti-drug structures any more, he is still happy to refer parents to organisations that can help.

Skating grows more popular Ice skating is growing in the community.

The Junior Blades Championship was recently held at Cape Town’s ice rink, the Ice Station at the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World.

One of the proud entrants was Malaika Jumah (12), of Riverton in Elsies River who came sixth in the pre-novice girls’ category scoring 9.78 points.

The Ice Station is home to various development ice skating clubs including Junior Blades, Black Panthers, Sunday Night Clubs, and Synchronized – all affiliated to the South African Figure Skating Association, providing regular on-ice training.

Many skaters have successfully represented South Africa at international competitions at various levels.

So if you have a dream of achieving your national colours in a dynamic sport, then this is where it all begins.

Once you’ve mastered the basics of ice skating it is an easy transition to a future of ice hockey or figure skating with resident professional coaches.

The WP Ice Hockey Association also calls the Ice Station home and has five member clubs and always welcomes new beginners.

The Ice Station is open for public skating sessions seven days a week and invites young and old to come and join in the fun.

For more information on skating times go to http://www.icerink.co.za/public.htm or call 021 535 2260.

Malaika Jumah impressed the judges at the re­ cent competition at the Ice Station.

Breathing life back into music legend GARY VAN DYK

Bullets for dragons:

It was an exciting day for members of the Monte Dragons Dragon Boat Club, when they got to meet the director of the hit play Bullets over Bishop Lavis, before a performance of the show at the Baxter recently. The club sold tickets to the show as part of an ongoing fund­raising drive to help send the club’s squad overseas to compete in the Internatio­ nal Dragon Boat Club World Championships taking place in Hong Kong in July this year. Represen­ tatives of the Dragon Boat team are from left, Igsaan Salie, Brent van Rooi, Shandre Daniels, director of the play, Jody Abrahams and Mel Raath. Visit www.montedragons.co.za.

The life and music of a South African legend is coming to life through the eyes and ears of two of his friends.

Royston Stoffels is a well-known actor for his many roles on the stage and television, but music is another passion, especially the sounds that were created by the late Basil “Manenberg” Coetzee.

B, is a heritage project written by Stoffels, that will be presented at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective in Observatory on 9, 10, 11 and 12 May, and Stoffels feels that it is still a musical work in progress.

“Part of these intimate performances will be audience participation with more of their memories of the character that was Basil Coetzee,” he says.

Easily acknowledged as one of South Africa’s legends of music, the saxophonist died almost penniless in 1998, but left a legacy of music that inspires a new generation of musicians in the community.

A water tanker will be located on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Norwood Street for residents requiring water for domestic consumption.

When the water flow and pressure is restored, there might be a brief period when the water is slightly discoloured.

Vasco sixth on log after their narrow 2­1 win Bean pulled a goal back just before the end of regulation time, but the visitors were able to hold on for the crucial three points.

Vasco Da Gama ended the game with nine players after both Francois Adams and Robbie Do Santo receive late red cards.

The team that finishes first on the log gains automatic promotion to the lucrative PSL, while those occupying positions two and three are set to go into a round-robin play-off together with the 15th placed PSL side.

Unlike in previous seasons where the top two National First Division outfits faced each other over two crucial legs, with the winner immediately claiming a spot in the top flight and the loser later getting another chance in a series of matches, the play-off situation for 2011/12 is very different, with no semi-final and final scheduled.

Three teams will play a home and away series of games in a minileague.

The first game will be team A versus team B, with one having a bye.

The first set of games are down for 23, 27 and 30 May. Teams each play four play-off games to see which National First Division club is finally promoted or if the PSL struggler maintains its status.

At this stage, while any of the top six outfits could be in the final playoffs mix, at least two might well have to seek alternative venues.

Local club Vasco helped The University of Pretoria edge closer to the National First Division league title with a narrow 2-1 win over them at Parow Park on Saturday afternoon.

T’berg buig weer die knie Tygerberg-klub, wat as verlede jaar se wenner van die B-afdeling in die WP se Super-rugbyliga na die A-afdeling bevorder is, moes die afgelope week weer tot die slotsom kom dat sy paadjie nie dié seisoen met rose besaai sal lê nie.

Die Floridapark-span het die besoekende Victoriane goed opgekeil,

maar het sy derde agtereenvolgende nederlaag op die lyf geloop toe hy met 27-31 verloor het. Tygerberg het darem die troos dat hy twee bonuspunte uit hierdie kragmeting ryker geword het.

Eerskomende Saterdag is al nege Superliga-spanne in die Tygerbergstreek in aksie.

Die program is: Durbanville/ Bellville t Schotsche Kloof/Walmer, Belhar t Tygerberg, Pniël Villagers t Noordelikes/Northlinkkollege, Primrose t Bellville, Collegians t Brackenfell, Helderberg t Hands & Heart, Goodwood t Kuilsrivier.

Vasco Da Gama are currently down to sixth spot on the log with 38 points. They trail Tuks by 11.

The home side dominated in terms of possession and territory, but with Brent Adonis playing as a lone striker, he often found himself without support and unable to hold the ball up.

Tuks defender Siyabonga Shoyisa was the mainstay of the visitors’ defence, with the centre-back rarely putting a foot out of place.

The second half remained fast and furious, with few chances and most of the action taking place in the Tuks half.

Finally the deadlock was broken with 20 minutes to go, a scrappy goal from Tuks’ Junior Sibande, who slotted home after a goalmouth scramble, perhaps indicative of what had been a tense afternoon’s play.

Five minutes later and the Tuks advantage was increased when Thokozani Sekotlong finished with a classy curly shot into the bottom corner after he had been gifted possession 25 yards out.

Vasco Da Gama ensured a tense finish to the game after Marvin

Race through the city’s history LIAM MOSES

For the first time in the history of Cape Town an organised road race will pass right through the Castle of Good Hope.

A runner passes the Auwal Mosque in Dorp Street during the inaugural event last year.

The mosque is the oldest in Cape Town.

MOTORING

Jan Kriel klop net­net vir Bernadino Heights Jan Kriel-skool het die afgelope week naelskraap, maar welverdiend, 10-5 met Bernadino Heights afgereken, terwyl Excelsior gans te sterk vir die span van Knysna was en 44-0 geseëvier het.

Die HS President het weliswaar sy wedstryd teen Porterville 12-19 verloor, maar die Vrijzee-manne het darem veel beter vertoon as tydens verlede jaar se tweestryd op Porterville toe die Bolanders President ’n groot loesing toegedien het.

Ná al die vakansiedae kry die skole-rugbyseisoen van hierdie week af behoorlik momentum. Die belangrikste o.19A-wedstryde is: Wynberg t HS Bellville, D.F.Malan t Stellenberg, Hugenote t Durbanville, HS Swartland t De Kuilen, HTS Bellville t Rangers-klub, Monumentpark t Hottentots-Holland, J.G.Meiring t Zwaanswyk, Milnerton t President, Trafalgar t Fairbairn, Settlers t Somerset-kollege, Bergvliet t Fairmont.

Magnificent May Madness.

The Jive Slave Route Challenge, which was first held last year, sees racers run past several of the city’s most significant historical landmarks.

The race takes place on 27 May this year.

It was started by Itheko Sport Athletic Club, and according to Farouk Meyer, race director, head coach and founder of the club, the club’s aim is to educate people about the history of the city while also promoting a healthy active lifestyle.

“We had to have a race which is very different and we looked at something that focuses on the city of Cape Town,” says Meyer. “One of the things that people don’t know is that almost the whole city was built by slaves.

“So we looked at history and thought we should highlight that aspect of Cape Town.” Meyer added that a cannon from the Castle would be used as the starting gun on race day.

The Jive Slave Route Challenge comprises a 10km big walk, a 5km fun run/ walk, a 10km run and a half marathon.

For the second consecutive year, People’s Post, TygerBurger’s sister publication, is the print media sponsor of the event.

Participants will also have the opportunity to view some of Cape Town’s other historical landmarks apart from the Cas-

tle.

The event will start in front of the City Hall and pass landmarks such as the Whipping Post at the corner of Darling and Buitenkant streets, the Hurling Swinging Pump and the Slave Lodge in Adderley Street.

Meyer said the locations had been carefully selected, based on their significance to the history of slavery in Cape Town.

“The Parade, where we finish, was where slaves were whipped and some of them executed,” he says.

“If you look at a place that we also run past in Spin Street, there’s a plaque on the floor but people don’t take note of it. That’s where slaves were auctioned.

“People don’t know that at Gallows Hill, where the traffic department is, a lot of slaves were executed.

“Besides those slave heritage sites that we run past, we also run past a lot of other historical landmarks in Cape Town.”

The race is run in partnership with Iziko Museums, and this year information boards will be posted at all the slavery-related heritage sites.

The race will also pass by several other historical sites not linked to slavery and other scenic parts of the city, such as the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

For more information or to register for the Jive Slave Route Challenge visit www.itheko.org.za or contact the race office on (021) 762 8934.

The first 1 000 people to register for the half marathon this year will receive a goodie bag worth R150 from Clicks.
