ing is Fundrais rag’! such a ‘d Divas versus Dorks!

Table View Fun for All in conjunction with Freecycle 4 Fun hosted their annual Divas versus Dorks fundraiser recently in aid of the non­profit organisation, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue. The event was held on Saturday 30 September at Marine Circle, Table View. This was the third annual dress­for­drag event where men dress in women’s clothing and women dress in men’s clothing, after which they go for a swim in the ocean, organisers say. Here are some of the colourful “men” and “women” who participated in the fundraiser. This year the group managed to raise R20 299.PHOTO: SUPPLIED

COMMANDER REDEPLOYED: FROM T’VIEW TO PHILIPPI EAST

T’View cop boss moves

T

he recent temporary redeployment of Colonel Dirk Vosloo, Table View Police Station commander, to the Nyanga police cluster, has been met with mixed emotions. TygerBurger learned from a reliable source last week that Vosloo, with more than 30 years of experience in the police, will be stationed at the Philippi East Police Station for the next few months. The Nyanga cluster consists of six police stations, including Philippi East. The others are Bishop Lavis,

Elsies River, Gugulethu, Manenberg and Nyanga itself. A mass shooting in the Marikana informal settlement in Philippi East recently claimed the lives of 18 people. The area was also in the media spotlight following a visit by national police minister, Fikile Mbalula, as a result of the massacre. Last week, Captain Adriana Chandler, Table View police spokesperson, confirmed the move taken by the provincial commissioner (Lieutenant-General Khombinkosi Jula) to have Vosloo redeployed. “It (the redeployment) was a senior management decision,” Chandler says.

Asked if any other police members or vehicles will be sent to this area, Chandler said no. According to a source, however, this is not the case. Two members as well as a patrol vehicle are also set to go. Asked for more details, Chandler kindly requested that further queries be directed to the police’s provincial offices based in Green Point. TygerBurger contacted the offices and was guaranteed a response, but we are still awaiting comment. According to David Harris, chairperson of the Table View Policing Forum (CPF), the redeployment of additional members is said

to be on the cards. He says a vehicle is also scheduled to go. “To lose two CPU (Crime Prevention Unit) members and another vehicle will put our police under severe pressure to deliver on their constitutional duties to the community of Table View,” Harris says. Harris adds that police resources in Table View are already cut to the bone. “Adequate policing in Table View is already below the level of service delivery as per the constitution of South Africa. To take more resources away from Table View police aggravates this situation.” V To page 2.
