ONLINE ADVERTISING: BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS

Fast scam on PayFast

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

A

phishing scam in which some people

allegedly lost up to R20 000 has flared

up again one of the latest near vic-

tims a Durbanville resident who advertised

on OLX and Gumtree.

Victims are contacted and told that a Pay-

Fast transaction was made for the adver-

tised items. They then receive an email with

proof of payment, but it is false, warns Greg

Smit, support lead of PayFast.

Mirchelle Snyman told TygerBurger she

advertised some items on OLX and Gumtree

among others an exhaust pipe for a Kawa-

saki motorbike for R4 000.

She was contacted on 16 January by a

woman via OLX by email, stating that she

was interested in buying the exhaust pipe.

The woman said she was working overseas

on a ship, but would like to buy the pipe for

her sons motorbike and wanted to pay via

PayFast, as she considered it the safest.

She said shell have the pipe collected by

courier once shehasprocessedherpayment,

which will include R4 000 for the exhaust

pipe and R1 250 for the courier fee plus a R50

fee to cover the payment at Shoprite.

She asked Snyman to pay over the R1 300

at Shoprite to the courier on her behalf, and

only then the payment will reflect on her

PayFast account.

She then received a proof of payment of

R5 300 from PayFast.

Luckily Snyman contacted PayFast, who

confirmed no payment of R5 300 was made

into her PayFast account. She was also in-

formed that the email of confirmationof pay-

ment sent was false.

I noticed on the emails that it was sent

from [email protected] and

[email protected], Snyman said.

She said she was told by the call centre of

PayFast that it was a scam and that many

victimswere conned out of theirmoney in

one incident R20 000.

Smit of PayFast told TygerBurger people

should always be vigilant and review the

senders email address.

PayFast emails will only come from ad-

dresses endingwith payfast.co.za, he said.

Unfortunately phishing is a very com-

mon attack on the internet and affects any

entity that has built a reputable brand.

Fraudsters use our strong brand to scam

the victim into thinking that they are deal-

ing with a reputable company.

Usually phishing attacks will be directed

towards banks and payment providers, he

said.

The way that this scam is conducted us-

ing our brand is as follows: A seller on sites

such as Gumtree will be contacted by a buy-

er who insists on paying using PayFast, and

requests that they register an account on

PayFast to receive the payment.

Once the sellerhas registeredanaccount,

the scammer will contact them saying they

have made the payment.

The seller will receive a fake email stat-

ing that they have received funds through

PayFast. In this email the seller is requested

to send confirmation of delivery to PayFast

before the funds are released.

The seller will send out their items as re-

quested although no payment was actually

made. The scammer receives the item and

the seller never receives the money.

According to Smit this is not a new scam.

Fraudsters have been falsely using the Pay-

Fast brand for the past couple of years, and

I am sure for a longer period using other sys-

tems such as PayPal.

Judging from the calls and emails that

PayFast receives concerning this scam, the

majority of people call us before they send

out their item.

This scam flares up randomly through

the course of the year. The best defence

against this and any other phishing attempt

is education and that the more people who

are aware of this kind of scams andhow they

operate, the better.

We have implemented strong email secu-

rity mechanisms to prevent the spoofing of

our emails and are currently implementing

the latest enhancements to these to further

reduce the ability for fraudsters to spoof our

legitimate domain.

This makes it harder for fraudsters to

fake our From address, but a customer still

needs to check the email address fromwhich

an email comes and when they reply, where

it is going to, as these could be completely

different to our legitimate addresses.

Something to remember, is that you

should never fully trust email messages.

It is sad that it is so, but you have to be

vigilant on the internet where you deal at

arms length, so we would always advise

caution when concluding deals via email,

he warns.

how to recognise a phishing scam and what to do.

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

W

ill the choirs sing, or the cyclists cy-

cle? This is the proverbial million

dollar question after WP indoor cy-

clists training at the Bellville Velodrome

got word last Thursday they will have to

make way for a choir association to host its

annual five-week competition

instead.

According to the principal fa-

cilitymanager of the velodrome,

an urgent application was

brought by the Cape Malay

Choir Board to host their annual

event in the indoor cycling are-

na from 13 February until 20

March.

The choristers former event

locationwas theGoodHope Cen-

tre in Cape Town, but the centre

is currently closed to them.

According to Johan Smith,

track director of the WP Track

Cycling Association, their orga-

nisation received a short email

from the principal facility offi-

cer informing them of this new

development, and that they

could only have the facility back

for training theweekend after 20

March.

Events clash over fiveweek period

The principal facility officer had replied

to an initiating email from Abdul Davids,

a member of the facility committee on be-

half of the cyclists and the representative of

theBellville andTygerberg cycling clubs, in

which Davids outlines their training plans.

In his email to the principal facility offi-

cer, Davids spells it out that the cyclists

need to train at the facility the only indoor

cycling track of its kind besides a dilapidat-

ed substitute track in Paarl and how host-

ing the choirs until mid-March would im-

pact on their own training schedule and

planned events.

The conundrum is that the choirs annual

five-week event coincides with the cyclists

own events, and the two are seemingly ir-

reconcilable due to exit infrastructure and

the setting up of emergency stairs across

the tracks to accommodate the choristers,

which will make cycling impossible, ac-

cording to the principal facility officer.

The provincial cyclists are set to compete

in the WP track championship on 11 and 12

March, followed by the nationals in Port

Elizabeth only two weeks later, needing as

much training time as possible, according

to Davids.

Memorial run also at risk

Also, they have an annual memorial run

for JeanneNel, a cyclist who died on the Ve-

lodrome track two years ago, in February

eachyear,with this years event planned for

16 February.

The principal facility officer thenwent on

to offer the cyclists the last weekend of

March to host this memorial event.

Smith says this is a big event also requir-

ing loads of planning. This is a huge and

wildly popular race. Jeannewas a great guy

and one would be able to understand if the

tracks werent available due to develop-

ment, but this is ridiculous; why cant they

accommodate both organisations?

What I find weird is that the pavilion

with its stands is available to the choirs to

practise on; why do they need the inside cy-

cling track? And why do they need to put

steps over the track? Theres more than

enough space for both organisations to

share the facility. Even when

there is more than 1 000 people

at once, there is no need to erect

stairs, he says.

But the choristers are as desti-

tute. Since they received notice

late last year that the City plans

to privatise the Good Hope Cen-

tre, they have very few alterna-

tives to host their own hugely

popular competition.

The Cape Malay Choir Board

had leased theGoodHopeCentre

for its competition since the cen-

tres inception, as that venue

easily accommodates up to 5 000

people and is very central.

The Citys Mayco member for

community services and special

projects, Belinda Walker, says

she is personally looking into

the matter.

I am investigating this mat-

ter personally to ensure that the

arrangements around the use of

the velodrome best accommodate the needs

of both the choirs andcyclists as far aspossi-

ble.

I have asked the sport, recreation and

amenities department to provide informa-

tion on what times the facility is available

for use by the choir and what engagement

with the cycling organisations and clubs

has taken place thus far, she says.

Wherever possible, the City does active-

ly encourage our social facilities to become

increasinglymultifunctional and able to ac-

commodate multiple users.

We want our sporting and recreational

facilities to create maximum social benefit

for communities and will always try to ac-

commodate multiple user groups.

et meer as n week n n fietsryer, n

onderwyser van die Laerskool Dur-

banville, wreed byFisantekraalmet n

baksteen aangeval is, l daar ng n stok

langs die pad en wag op n nuwe slagoffer.

Pieter Swart (57), n tegnologie-onderwy-

ser en departementshoof van geboue, terrei-

ne en borge aan die Laerskool Durbanville,

is Sondag 17 Januarie omstreeks 09:30 met

n baksteen aangerand nadat n rower n dik

stok in sy fiets se wiel gesteek het om hom

te laat val. Sy selfoon is geroof.

Sy seun, Wihan, het gister aan TygerBur-

ger ges toe hy in die afgelope paar dae daar

verby gery het, het hy n ander stok daar

langs die pad sien l. Daar is aan hom ges

dat die pad skoongemaak sou word van die

bakstene en stokke wat langs die pad l om

soortgelyke voorvalle te voorkom.

Watmy betref, kon hulle dit beter gedoen

het. Die een kant van die stok was met n

plastieksak toegedraai, amper soos vir n

handvatsel. Dit lyk of dit daar neergesit is

gereed vir die volgende slagoffer, s hy.

Swart, wat erg beseer is, is intussen na n

gewone saal oorgeplaas nadat hy bykans n

week in die Mediclinic Durbanville se ho-

sorgeenheid behandel is.

Hy het op die R312 gaan ry om te oefen vir

die Kaapstad-fietstoer in Maart. Uit die le-

sing op sy fiets se spoedmeter blyk dit hy het

teen sowat 40 km/h gery toe hy van sy fiets

geval het.

Hyhet syneus, beide oogbanke enwangbe-

ne gebreek. Hy het effens bloeding en swel-

ling op die brein, asook op sy regterlong, op-

gedoen. Hy het ook n skouerbeen, sy regter-

sleutelbeen op twee plekke, onder meer ook

uit die skouerbeen, en sewe ribbes gebreek.

Volgens Wihan is sy pa effens beter en lyk

hy baie beter as n week gelede. Swart is ver-

lede Donderdag na n gewone saal verskuif

en van die suurstofmasjien afgehaal.

Hy stap al kort entjies met die hulp van

die fisioterapeut, het hy ges.

Swart is gisteroggend vir nog nMRI-skan-

dering gestuur om te kyk of die breinbloe-

ding opklaar.

Volgens Wihan sou dokters dan besluit of

hy vandag (Woensdag) al ontslaan kanword.

Hy sal na verwagting tussen drie en ses

maande neem om volkome te herstel.

Volgens Wihan het sy pa ges hy sal die

skuldige beslis kan uitken.

Intussen is die Kraaifontein-polisie steeds

besig met die ondersoek na die saak van po-

ging totmoord. Volgens inligting is niemand

nog in hegtenis geneem nie, maar word lei-

drade steeds opgevolg.

Die polisie doen ook meer patrollies van

die pad en omgewing.

The water crisis in the Western Cape is

not over and the City warns that Capeto-

nians not adhering to restrictions can re-

ceive spot fines or even jail time.

Every household and every business

enterprise can actively play a part in sav-

ingwater during this excessively hot and

dry summer, Clive Justus, chairperson

of subcouncil 4, said at the January sub-

council meeting.

Level two regulations have been effec-

tive since 1 January. This means the

price of water increased especially for

large domestic consumers, who now pay

more for the same amount of water used

before the restrictions a measurement

taken to encourage water savings.

Due to the Citys increasing block tar-

iff for domestic consumers, this will have

very little effect on small consumers and

water efficient households. On the other

hand, large domestic consumers will pay

a significantly higher marginal price for

water, according to a frequently asked

questions (FAQ) fact sheet published by

the City.

According to Ernest Sonnenberg, the

CitysMaycomember for utility services,

the City has approximately 650 000 me-

ters to read, and this cannot all take place

on one day.

Because of this, theCity calculates the

daily average between two meter read-

ings, determines the daily average, and

apportions the water consumption

across the two billing periods, he says.

Justus asked residents of subcouncil 4

to use water wisely.

The restriction notice indicates that

where other sources of water (i.e. not

drinking water from municipal supply)

are used, a notice to this effect must be

erected in a position clearly visible from

apublic thoroughfare. In addition,water-

ing gardens, parks, open spaces, etc. with

alternative water resources such as har-

vested rain water, grey water (re-used),

treated effluent water, well points and

boreholes, is allowed only before 09:00 or

after 16:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and

Saturdays, he said.

Failure to adhere to the water restric-

tions may lead to spot fines. of up to

R1 500, issued by the City of Cape Town.

Repeat offenders could be summonsed

and be liable for prosecution resulting in

a fine of up to R10 000, or imprisonment.

Water crisis not over

Shadows on the beach: Over 600 people braved a moderate South Easter and were

treated to a perfect sunset along the stretch of beach between Big Bay and Eerste Steen

during the first Full Moon Walk for 2016 hosted by Clean C. Walkers donated baking items

for the Made with Love baking and womens empowering project in Joe Slovo Park. The next

Full Moon Walk will be held on Saturday 20 February at the Milnerton Lighthouse at 19:00.

Bluegumbowled over in Durbanville

A worker cutting up the fallen bluegum tree in Bowlers Avenue. PHOTOS: CAMPBELL RAE

@erasmusesme

A

nother huge bluegum tree has fallen

acrossBowlersAvenue inDurbanville.

A resident, Campbell Rae, visited his

mother in one of the complexes when the in-

cidenthappenedaround lunch timeonSatur-

day 16 January.

The last incident like this was a few years

ago but this time the tree has fallen across

the road, he said.

This followed the removal of quite a lot of

bluegum trees in November 2013. All the re-

maining trees were trimmed as well.

A total of 56 bluegum trees were removed

in Bowlers Avenue and along Racecourse

Road then for safety reasons after several

incidents of falling trees and branches.

In one incident a huge bluegum tree in

Bowlers Avenue fell without any warning

just missing a house.

No further cutting of bluegum trees in

Bowlers Avenue seems to be on the City of

Cape Towns agenda in the near future.

However, according to Belinda Walker,

Mayco member for community services and

special projects, theCityhasplans to trim the

bluegum trees along Wellington Road all

the trees alongWellington Road and between

Skool Street and Langeberg Road, as well as

along Racecourse Road.

TheCityParks department is currently in

the process of sourcing quotes for the work

to be undertaken. It is anticipated the work

will be completedbefore the rainy seasonand

winter gets under way, she said.

Treeswill also be trimmedwhere planned

routinemaintenancehasbeen scheduled and

where there are any specific requests and/or

complaints about particularly problematic

trees that are preventing visibility.

TheCity Parks departmentwill avoid top-

ping, Walker said.

oe drie wakker polisielede verlede

Dinsdag twee verdagte mans in Oak-

dale met n skootrekenaarsak sien

loop, het hulle n vonds gemaak waarvoor

di mans nie antwoorde gehad het nie.

S vertel kapt. Fienie Nimb, woordvoer-

der van die Bellville-polisie, oor die mis-

daadvoorkomingspatrollies van konst.

Lwando Zwedala, ao. Gawie Hawkins en

sers. Trevor Doubell, en wat di lede om on-

geveer 14:00 raakgeloop het.

Die lede het uit die diensvoertuig geklim

en die twee mans deursoek. Tydens di vi-

sentering het hulle n Nokia-selfoon en

duur sonbril in die sak van die eerste ver-

dagte gevind, en n skootrekenaar, selfoon

en hardeskyf by die ander verdagte, s sy.

Die mans het beweer dat hulle die items

by n onbekende man by die Durbanville-

taxistaanplek gekry het.

Nimb s die lede is toe daarheen, maar

kon di man nie opspoor nie.

Die lede besluit toe omna dieDurbanvil-

le-polisie te gaan omhul te vergewis of daar

moontlik verwante sake ingekom het waar-

in Nokia-selfone en n skootrekenaar as ge-

steel aangemeld is, s sy.

Met hul aankoms by die polisiekantoor

het een van die verdagtes erken dat hy by

n woning in Durbanville geverf het. Hy het

toe bevestig dat hy die artikels by die wo-

ning gesteel het.

Die Bellville-drietal het toe die twee ver-

dagtes na di huis in Durbanville geneem

en met hul aankoms het die eienaar op die-

selfde tyd daar aangekom, heeltemal onbe-

wus dat sy besteel is, s Nimb.

Sy het bevestig dat sy wel die een per-

soon ken en dat hy die dag verfwerk byhaar

woning gedoen het. Sy het die selfoon, son-

bril en rekenaar gedentifiseer ashaar eien-

dom.

Die vrou het toe ook beweer dat sy n

Samsung-tabletrekenaar ook vermis en die

verwer het toe erken dat hy dt reeds in Fi-

santekraal verkoop het vir R250. Die lede is

na Fisantekraal en het di item terugge-

vind.

Die twee verdagtes is in hegtenis geneem

en word aangehou vir die besit van gesteel-

de goedere. Albei is van Durbanville.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

A

lcohol screenings will now be done at

any random time day or night to

ensure safer roads in the City, traffic

official Desir Benadie warned at a sub-

council meeting held last week.

Benadie said this initiative was one of

many strategies to be implemented in 2016

to improve service delivery in Cape Town.

Statistics are alarming. Driving under

the influence of alcohol is bynomeansprob-

lematic during night time hours only.

In recent months, countless daytime

drivers have been found guilty of this of-

fence, especially in the mornings when

drivers are still under the influence from

the previous nights drinking, she said.

Such screenings will be done at major

roadblock operations around the clock.

Apart from this project the City is ap-

pointing 60 new traffic officers city wide.

Along with these new appointments, the

department has also requested additional

unmarked vehicles to monitor moving vio-

lations in the far northern areas of Kraai-

fontein and Brackenfell, she said.

Apart from normal operations a special-

ised taxi unit will also be deployed to focus

on issues such as roadworthiness, illegal

operations and permits.

Sunrisers now also taboo

Philadelphia police are trying to trace the

family or friends of a Malawian man who

died in an accident along the N7 just after

Christmas.

According to a report, officers attended an

accident scene on the N7 near Botterberg

Farm on Saturday 26 December at 20:00

where they found a truck on the side of the

road and the body of a male lying on the side

of the road.

The victimwas identified asMayesoMam-

bo. He sustained head injuries and was de-

clared dead on the scene.

Police are now appealing for help to trace

Mambos relatives or friends as they are

ready to hand the body over.

If you know him call Constable Ashwin

Diedericks on 021 972 1613.

Snake bites rife this summer

The presence of puff adders (pictured) and Cape cobras has seen an increase in the number of

snake bites in pets, says a local veterinary hospital with several branches across the Peninsula.

Snake bite treatment is a very expensive affair, but can save the life of a pet.

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

S

nakes soaking up the sun and slither-

ing away from veld fires often end up

in residential backyards,making them

a serious adversary to domestic pets.

Because of this, veterinarians Ryan Nor-

rie andNolanMoss at the TygerbergAnimal

Hospital say their hospital has recently seen

an increase in the number of snake bites in

pets.

We have definitely seen an increase in

snake bites this year, Moss says. There

seems to be an increase across the Cape Pen-

insula.

He sayswhilenoaccuratenumbers areyet

available, the largest chunk of the bites are

taking place close to Table Mountain.

The reasons are simple, Moss says.

Snakes aremore active in hot, dryweather,

which may account for the increased num-

bers recently.

Fleeing to gardens, houses

Norrie agrees: Snakes are cold-blooded

animals that raise their body temperature

by lying in the sun or lower it by crawling

into the shade. So this means snake bites

will be less likely to happen in winter time

as the snakes are hibernating.

Also something to think about is all of the

fires we are experiencing you find that

most wildlife will move to safer areas, and

this could be your back garden or even your

house, Norrie says.

They have seen mostly Cape cobra or puff

adder snake bites over the last two months,

Moss adds.

He explains a bit more about the chemical

reactions causedby the two toxins: Cape co-

bras are neurotoxic and cause paralysis of

the respiratory muscles, leading to death.

Puff adders are cytotoxic and bites cause se-

vere tissue swelling, with fluid, blood and

protein loss.

In both cases anti-venom treatment redu-

ces the severity of clinical signs but must be

given in the early stages, Moss says.

According to him, cobra bite victims need

to be placed on a ventilator, normally for one

to three days, and they require intensive

care, while puff adder victims often develop

shock and multiple organ failure, requiring

intensive care and usually multiple plasma

and blood transfusions.

And treatment is not cheap.

The cost of treatment ... can escalate be-

yond R30 000 in some cases. Many animals

unfortunately die before they are presented

to the clinic.

Moss adds cobra bites that are treated ag-

gressively and early, usually have a more

promising outcome, but not so with puff ad-

der bites.

Evenwith aggressive treatment the prog-

nosis forpuff adderbites is alwaysguarded,

Moss says. I recently treated a staff mem-

bers dog that required four blood transfu-

sions, six plasma transfusions, and took

over one month to fully recover, he says.

Norrie says theyve seen some really sad cas-

es, but its not all doom and gloom.

Most of the time if a pet pulls through

from such an attack there are hardly any aft-

er-effects, but possible scarring or muscle

loss from dead tissue has been seen.

You wont see it very often, but if a pa-

tient was bitten on an extremity and to save

the pets life, amputation can be an option,

he says.

We have seen some heartbreaking cases

where the outcome was death. In one case

we had two rottweilers that were bitten by

the same snake andboth dogswere put down

due to their state, says Norrie.

Never confront a snake

He addswhen pets are bitten, owners need

to keep clear of the snakes to avoid being bit-

ten themselves. So how can owners avoid

pets getting bitten?

There is no way of avoiding snake bites

at home short of permanently housing the

pet, says Moss.

Pet owners need to be aware of the risks

when taking their animals on walks, and

adds they need to learn to identify the two

snakes.

Neither snake is particularly aggressive.

Pet owners should never attempt to confront

a snake, Moss says.

Once bitten, time is of the essence, espe-

cially where the Cape cobra is concerned.

Only a few veterinary practices stock an-

ti-venomdue to its high cost, and fewer prac-

tices still have 24-hour care and ventilators,

for the same reason.

Pet owners should acquaint themselves

with practices that are able to treat snake

bites. If a pet is bitten by either snake, they

should immediately be transported to a 24-

hour facility that possesses a ventilator and

stocks anti-venom.

Norrie says their facility is one of few that

stocks the required anti-venom and is open

at all hours. The anti-venom we have on

stock is the same used on humans. Please

note that it is a very expensive medication.

Donate breastmilk to local hospitals

I

n the high-tech world of the modern neo-

natal ICU there is no substitute for breast

milk. When a vulnerable babys mother

is unable to supply breast milk, donated

breast milk can offer this life-saving gift

from another mother.

Neonatologist Dr Alan Horn of Groote

Schuur Hospital says: I firmly believe that

the practice of milk banking is still in its in-

fancy, globally and especially in South Afri-

ca. I expect it will steadily increase in pro-

file.

Donating breast milk is an act that in-

volves the least pain and themost gain, com-

pared to any other human tissue or organ

donation. It is potentially life-saving and is

worth more than equipment or staff. The

term milk bank is perfect it simultane-

ously describes the safety and the value of

donated milk.

Milk Matters is such a breast milk bank

devoted to saving the lives of primarily pre-

mature babies in neonatal ICUs who do not

have access to their own mothers milk. It

has depots in locations around the city, in-

cluding Brackenfell, Durbanville, Milner-

ton, Panorama and Parow.

The need for donor milk is mainly when

a mother is too ill to provide breast milk or

is unable to physically be with or regularly

visit her baby in hospital. Donor milk may

also be needed for a short time in the case

of multiple births such as triplets, when the

mothermay initiallynothave enoughbreast

milk for her babies.

Already the demand for donormilk far ex-

ceeds supplies and requests from doctors for

donor milk continue to increase.

MilkMatters, a registered non-profit orga-

nisation, started providing donor breast

milk to the neonatal ICUs of Cape Towns

biggest state hospitals in 2003. To date 30 hos-

pitals, in both the state and private sector,

have received donormilk fromMilkMatters

and in addition the organisation has helped

five hospitals set up their own in-housemilk

banks. Most of the donormilk goes to babies

in state hospitals, where the need is highest.

Since just 50ml of breast milk can feed a

baby of less than a kg for 24 hours, mothers

do not need to donate large quantities of

breast milk to make a significant impact.

Some donor mothers make once-off dona-

tions of stockpiled milk that is not required

for their own baby, whilst othermothers do-

nate for periods varying from a few weeks

to a year or more.

Milk Matters provides donors with sterile

containers, which can be collected from one

of the 25depots,wherebatches of frozenmilk

can also be delivered. All milk is pasteur-

ised.

MilkMatters, a registered non-profit orga-

nisation, relies on donations from individu-

als and organisations both to maintain the

current service and to expand.

A motor vehicle, if driven

recklessly, inconsiderately or

under the influence of alcohol

or drugs, is a lethal weapon

it takes lives, both guilty and

innocent (victims), as borne

out by our road traffic collision

data. In most cases, road users

wilfully disobey our adequate

road traffic laws. Offenders

found guilty of contravening

any of the aforementioned

offences seldom, if ever,

receive suitable sentences.

Government does not take

road deaths seriously if they

did, the annual collision/death

rate on our roads should have

decreased ages ago.

In my view, the following

needs to be implemented :

1. Dedicated traffic courts in

all major centres: Staff (magis-

trates/prosecutors) to receive

specific training with regards

to the road traffic ordinance/

regulations etc. Cases must be

speedily dealt with.

2. Law enforcement: Traffic

officers must operate on a 24

hour duty roster as SAPS do.

Currently law enforcement

officers have the latest and

best technology at their

disposal including vehicles,

but most go off duty at

22:00/23:00, except during road

blocks. Visibility on patrol is

vital.

3. State laboratories for

testing blood samples: Every

major centre must have such a

centre. Private laboratories

(with the necessary checks and

balances) can also be roped in.

4. Sentencing drunk and

reckless drivers: First time

offenders found guilty- 6 month

imprisonment without the

option of a fine. Harsh? Yes,

but the carnage requires this.

We the citizens demand

urgent action right now! The

excuse of insufficient funds

and staff shortages must now

be changed to we will immedi-

ately make funds available.

The proposed points system is

long overdue, but how will

Municipal water tariffs in-

creased on and from 1 January.

I have just received my

December account and the

meter was read on 21 December!

That leaves 10 days usage as

carry-over to the January

accounts higher tariff. Is this

deliberate?

I have a question for the

municipality: What are you

going to do about this?

ACCOUNT NO: 131275974

Amanda Glen

Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoral

committee member for utility

services of the City of Cape

Town, responds: The City

has approximately 650 000

meters to read, and this

cannot all take place on one

day. Because of this, the

City calculates the daily

average between two meter

readings, determines the

daily average, and appor-

tions the water consumption

across the two billing peri-

ods. In the case of this

customer, their daily average

consumption for 10 days will

be calculated according to

level 1 tariffs and the re-

mainder (after 1 January)

will be calculated according

to level 2 tariffs.

Calculated tariffs

taken into account

Nice to the point letter, Ian

(Making our lives on the road

difficult, TB, 20 January).

Lives will not be saved by

threats and lack of action.

When last did you see law

enforcement on the roads of

Brackenfell for instance?

Road safety: What

dowewant?

As a motorist who has to pass

through the Fairtrees/Vyge-

boom intersection almost daily

but not at peak times I fully

concur with Lizs sentiments

(Traffic lights: who can help

us here?, TB, 20 January).

The lights stay green for far

too long, causing motorists

backed up at the red lights to

get frustrated, some of whom

eventually drive through

against the red.

Two e-mails to the relevant

City of Cape Town department

have elicited no response or

action very disappointing for

a city which likes to proclaim

that it works for us. When it

comes to traffic matters, that is

definitely NOT the case.

SLICE OF LIFE

Savingwater:

howwise are

you really?

The message over the last few months

has been clear some parts of the

country are facing a drought and dam

levels are low; we need to save water!

In Cape Town the City imposed strict

water restrictions, even going as far as

promising to fine households and busi-

nesses that dont save at least 20%. The

latter has left a bitter taste in many a

household, especially those that have

been living water wise before the water

restrictions were imposed.

If youre already not opening a tap to

water your garden, recycling your bath

water into the flower beds, catching the

first few drops of cold shower water in a

bucket to use for cleaning the dishes

later and keeping the swimming pool just

full enough so the pump can run, then

what more can you do to save?

Water wise or not, we dont realise how

much water we use (and let go to waste)

on a day-to-day basis.

Its only once you start counting the

litres to fill the sink, boil the kettle and

flush the toilet, not to mention use in

your daily hygiene routine and for

drinking water, that reality sinks in and

you realise how much your household

consumes not saving as much as you

thought you did.

The fact is, water is a precious re-

source and if we dont try to save more,

we are in line to suffer more. So next

time, before you open a tap, think ... and

keep living water wise even after the

rains have come and the water restric-

tions have gone.

If authorities really wish to

save lives they must place more

visible mobile law enforcement

on the tar!

On Old Paarl Road taxis pass

on the left over the yellow line

and push in irrespective of the

red robot at the bridge, or use

the left turn lane as a stopping

zone.

What do we want?

Its a fallacy that speed kills.

It has no mind or soul.

It is attitude that kills, or

lack of it in traffic control. We

need visible law enforcement to

save lives. The benefit to traffic

authorities will come in the

increase of fine income and to

the public of saved lives and

safer driving.

Licence renewal also needs a

good look at.

Our road structure is of

course way behind new require-

ments.

With the thousands of new

drivers emerging from schools

yearly, where will it all end?

Those currently practising on

buzzbikes in the meantime

have very little traffic sense or

concern for law right now.

otorists face a major construction

project on the N1 between the Plat-

tekloof interchange and the R300

from the end of this month. It is expected

to take three years to complete the project,

which will include the widening of parts of

the freeway and the upgrading of inter-

changes.

The upgrading will include the following:

.The construction of an additionalmedi-

an lane, outbound on the N1, commencing

west of the Durban Road interchange and

terminating in the vicinity of the start of N1

between Old Oak Road interchange and the

Stellenberg (R300) interchange;

.The construction of an additionalmedi-

an lane, inbound from east of Old Oak Road

interchange to just west of Durban Road in-

terchange;

.The construction of an additional auxil-

iary lane inbound between Hannes Louw

Drive and the off-ramp at the Plattekloof

Road interchange;


iary lane inbound betweenDurbanRoad in-

terchange on-ramp and the Jip de Jager Av-

enue interchange off-ramp;


iary lanewideningonN1outboundbetween

Jip de Jager Avenue interchange on-ramp

to east of Lincoln Street;


iary lane on N1 inbound between Durban

Road interchange off-ramp and Bill Bezuid-

enhout Avenue;

. The construction of capacity improve-

ments at interchange approaches and junc-

tions;

. The demolition and reconstruction of

the western bridge on Old Oak that crosses

the N1;

. The extending of the existing concrete

median barrier to prevent head-on colli-

sions;

. The installation of a new 1 525mm dia-

meter water main along the southern

boundary of the N1 road reserve, so that the

existingWemmershoekPipeline in the free-

way median can be decommissioned; and

. Various repairs to and rehabilitation

measures over the extent of the project on

the existing carriageway lanes and ramps.

Many road upgrades due this year

According to Taki Amira, chairperson of

Subcouncil 3, the contract entails the estab-

lishment of a site camp and various materi-

al handling yards. Copies of their locality

are available at theGoodwoodmunicipal of-

fices.

We are due for many road upgrades in

our subcouncil this year. The City will be

undertaking major road realignment and

road works.

These include the upgrading of the Bot-

telary Road/R300 half diamond and the up-

grade of the intersection of La Belle andOld

Oak. These are part as announced last year

of theMayors reallocation and provision of

funding throughout the city to alleviate con-

gestion, Amira said at the first 2016 sub-

council meeting in January.

Major work on N1

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

A

fter current Mrs Cape Town

Sunette Nieuwoudt, wife of

popular Afrikaans singer

Hugo Nieuwoudt, last week unex-

pectedly and for unknown reasons

stepped down from the title, Diane

Nel, the 2014 title holder from

Brackenfell, took over the reigns

again.

Organisers made the announce-

ment last week.

It is with much regret that we

announce that Sunette Nieuwoudt

has stepped down as Mrs Cape

Town 2015, due to a difficult time

that she is currently experiencing.

We wish her all the best and will

keep her in our prayers. Mrs Cape

Town 2014, Diane Nel, will succeed

Sunette as Mrs Cape Town for

2015, said Juanita Smit from the

Role Models Foundation.

According to Smit, Nel agreed to

complete the 2015 reign after it

came to light that not the first or

second runners-up were able to

stand in for Nieuwoudt.

Nel said it cameas a shock toher.

When the directors ofRoleMod-

els contactedme onMondaymorn-

ing (last week), it came as a sur-

prise as I knew that the first prin-

cess would have been a good

candidate.

Iwas told that she gracefully de-

clined because of personal obliga-

tions and the title was offered to

me.

Never have I imagined that

something like this could happen,

but at the same time Im proud to

know that I can do this with the

support of my family, friends, sup-

porters and my sponsors. Thank

you for all the phone calls, SMSs

and messages I received these past

24 hours. Thank you to each of you

supporting me once again in this

life changing journey, she said on

her Facebook page.

Smit said Nel was the obvious

choice due to the exceptional job

she did during her reign in 2014.

What impressed me most was

the fact that she continued with

her charity work, visiting all our

projects even after her year end-

ed, said Smit.

Thank you to Diane for being

willing to step in to support the

projects of Role Models Founda-

tion.The sashandcrownwill bebe-

stowed upon Diane in due course.

Nieuwoudt declined to com-

ment.

Hardly back in the saddle, Nel

was on her way to Worcester on

Wednesday to hand over a cheque

of R86 000 to the Eden School for

special needs children on behalf of

philanthropists Phil and Annetjie

Anderson, who currently live and

work in the city ofAl-Khobar in Sa-

udi Arabia.

The Andersons took up the

plight of this school more than a

year ago after reading in Tyger-

Burger online about Nels charity

work in Worcester.

Since then they have succeeded

in raisinganamount ofR225 000 for

the school by organising several

fund-raising projects in their expat

community to this end.

One night Phil and his friends

dressed up as women and collected

money from local social clubs in

the international compound.

On thisnight theyalmost raised

R20 000. On another occasion we

had a fun run and I also took up a

part time job as bar lady over

weekends of which this entire sala-

ry went into the fund, says Annet-

jie, a specialised nursing sister in

neonatology and divisional direct-

or for Womens Health Services at

the SAAD specialised hospital.

The Andersons were elated to

hear of the gratitude the school ex-

pressed.

It makes all the hard work

worth our while, they said.

School secretary Avril Farao

says they are dependent on funds

from outside as this school is not

fully subsidised and parents pay

minimal fees.

The money made it possible to

get many projects, like the schools

rural transport programme, up

and running again.

M

ore than half of the Grade 12

learners of Chesterhouse School

achieved subject A

symbols in the AS Level

examinations.

These results were re-

leased last week by Cam-

bridge International Ex-

aminations (CIE) in the

UK. A total of 17 of the 32

Grade 12 pupils achieved a

subject A symbol. The

Cambridge AS Level re-

quires thatGrade 12 pupils

write examinations for

four subjects, with some

selecting five.

Last Wednesday the

IGCSE (International Gen-

eral Certificate of Second-

ary Education) were also

released to the Grade 10

pupils of 2015, now in

Grade 11. A total of ten students achieved

an A aggregate average for

their IGCSE examinations

across eight subjects.

Altogether the 75 candi-

dates who were entered in

both these examinations

achieved 136 subject dis-

tinctions and an average of

over 70% in their nine sub-

jects.

The top student in theAS

Level examinations was

Kristin du Plessis, who

achieved a 91% average

and a distinction in every

AS Level subject. Kristin

has been accepted at UCT

in a Business Science De-

gree, majoring in Finance

and Accounting.

Tessa Hall achieved an 88% average and

was awarded four distinctions. Tessa has

beenoffered places at bothStellenbosch and

UCT for engineering and she is deciding

which university to attend.

Joshua Redelinghuys

achieved an 86% average

and was awarded three dis-

tinctions. Joshua has been

accepted at UCT to study

computer science.

All three candidates

achieved a mathematics

mark of 95% and above, with

Kristin topping this with an

excellent 98% final result.

The other top performers

were Rene Devenish (84%

average and four distinc-

tions), Rudolph du Plessis

(82% average and two dis-

tinctions) and Danielle Hugo

(80% average and two dis-

tinctions).
