A

month after the murder of Rugby resi-

dent Albert Langford (87), his family

is still looking for answers.

Langfords murder at his home in Dreyer

Street is clouded inmystery as a relative and

neighbours question what had happened to

the elderly man. According to his son, Gor-

don Langford, he last spoke to his father on

Friday 3 June at the family home.

He had concerns about his will which

was made out to my mom, Yvonne. She suf-

fered fromsevereAlzheimers andmy father

worried what would happen if he passed. I

agreed to assist him and left the home.

Blood trail

Two days later the son says he received a

call from a close family friend who advised

him something had happened and he should

call the Milnerton police.

My friend called for me and we were ad-

visedmy dad had beenmurdered, but the in-

formation was very vague. Nobody was al-

lowed inside thehouse andwe found thatmy

mother was okay. There was a blood trail

from the front of the housewhich could indi-

cate that hewas outside, but thewhole thing

seems suspicious.

The police sprayed luminol and returned

the next day. They found the crime scene

had been cleaned. Now my question is who

would have cleaned the scene? If this was a

house robbery, why didnt they go after my

mother? All they had to do was give her a

shake and she would tell them where my fa-

thers safe was and where he kept his fire-

arms. There are several questions that have

been left unanswered and even more alarm-

ing is that the police have taken no state-

ments from neighbours.

Gordon added the officer in charge of the

crime scene said they had not taken a state-

ment from his mother and she was taken

away by a relative. Concerned about the

progress with the case, Gordon asked for a

meeting with Milnerton police station com-

mander Brigadier Marius Stander last

week.

During themeeting itwas confirmed that

no statements had been taken and there

were no suspects. Stander asked for a feed-

back report and the deadline was Friday [8

July]. But there have been no answers until

today and I am very concerned because it

seems like they are not taking amurder case

seriously. There have been no statements

and no cellphone records have been

checked.

Gordon has since moved into the family

home and says shortly after his fathers

death the house stood vacant and had at-

tracted undesirable attention. The son alleg-

es that the same relative who took his moth-

er away had stolen R4000 and jewellery. He

has subsequently opened a theft case.

Milnerton police spokesperson Warrant

Officer Daphne OReilly confirms Warrant

Officer Jacques Kussel is investigating a

murder case and says according to the pre-

liminary investigation, there are different

versions from the neighbours as well as

Langfords wife.

According to Mrs Langford her husband

had an argument with a gentleman in the

driveway of their house the previous after-

noon. Afterwards he came back into the

house. He was very quiet and she found him

in the lounge on the floor. She got no reac-

tion from him and covered himwith a duvet

and put a pillow under his head. He re-

mained on the floor until police arrived the

following day where Mr Langford was de-

clared deceased by ER24 paramedics. A

wound was also found on the left side of his

chest about 10 cm under the left nipple.

Noone came to assist

OReilly says the wife indicated that she

did call for help but no-one came to assist.

She was in a state of shock and trauma-

tised when police found her inside the

house.ThedaughterofMrLangford request-

ed police to go to thehouse as theneighbours

could not get hold of her father.

OReilly says police arrived at the house

at 11:00 on Sunday 5 June and the body was

removed at about 20:00.

She also says no arrests have been made

and the wife was questioned by the investi-

gating officer at the crime scene but due to

her illness it was difficult to get all facts.

Asked to confirmwhether ornot the crime

scene was cleaned before police arrived,

OReilly says: This aspect is still under in-

vestigation. Police are looking at all ave-

nues. It is not yet clear if there is domestic

involvement. A blood trail was also found

from the front of the yard towards the

house.

ndependent tests into the water quality

at Big Bay beach and other water chan-

nels have revealed an insight into E.coli

contamination in public spaces.

The water quality at Big Bay beach has

been a hot topic in recent weeks following

two sewage spills in less than a month.

The tests were conducted byDr Jo Barnes

from the University of Stellenbosch follow-

ing concerns raised by the Table ViewRate-

payers Association (TVRA).

The first spill occurred on Friday 10 June

and on Thursday 30 June, TygerBurger

joined Barnes and TVRA chairperson Man-

dyDaMatta as she collected samples at vari-

ous sites.

Last week Barnes revealed the results

that show while the water is clear of E.coli,

beachgoers may want to think twice about

building sandcastles.

According to her report the first site was

next to the concrete slipway on the beach

in the intertidal zone.

The samplewas takenofwater collecting

in a hole dug in the sand to a depth of about

20cm in order to get the water percolating

in from below the surface of the beach sand.

This is a common procedure when investi-

gating the long-term pollution left by spills

on a beach. The sample was placed in the

cooler box under ice immediately after it

was taken. E. coli aswell asEnterococciwas

determined for this sample as thiswas a sea-

water source.

In the report Barnes references the levels

of E.coli per 100ml of sea water as used by

theCity ofCapeTown.The report states that

according to this interpretation of results,

100 organisms of E.coli per 100ml of sea wa-

ter is regarded as critically high. The tests

conducted at BigBay beach show thatwater

obtained near the slipway showed 250 000

E.coli organisms per 100ml of sea water.

For the second test, Barnes collected awa-

ter sample in the sea closest to the slipway.

The bottle was opened under the water

and filled with sea water as far as the wave

allowed. Sand was rinsed off the outside aft-

erwards. The sample was placed in the cool-

er box under ice immediately after it was

taken. E. coli as well as Enterococci was de-

termined for this sample as this was a sea-

water source.

Here the test results show only one E.coli

organism to 100ml of sea water. In addition,

only five Enterococci organisms were

present.

In her recommendations, Barnes notes

that a second sewage spill occurred the day

after she collected the samples and recom-

mends that further testing be conducted.

The sample below the surface of the

beach sand is extremely polluted, while the

water close by in the sea itself is quite clean.

This indicates that (a) the beach is still dan-

gerously polluted so long after the spill, and

(b) that taking only a sample from the sea

anddeducting that the effects of the spill has

dissipated is invalid and provides a serious

underestimation of the risks. The City

should cordon off this beach for a much

longer time and do much more to clean up

this spill. I have been informed that another

sewage spill occurred the day after sam-

pling. It is strongly recommended that an-

other round of samples be taken to track the

level of thenew (added) pollution loadon the

beach.

According to Mayco member for health,

Siyabulela Mamkeli, the water at Big Bay

has been tested following the spills and sam-

ples collected on Monday 4 July were found

to be compliant. Further samples will be

collected for testing this week.

Mamkeli says the beach is safe to use and

beach sand generally has higher E. coli lev-

els.

E.coli infection is transmitted via the

oral route.We therefore advise that the pub-

lic wash their hands thoroughly with soap

after playing in the sand.Findingsof a study

done indicate that E.coli may persist in the

environment in cooler water longer than in

the warmer water encountered in summer.

The E. coli levels from the soil are always

higher than from thewater. During thewin-

ter months the public is less likely to be

playing in the sand than in the summer

months. The City does not monitor the soil

E.coli content.

The pollution of the water in the Bayside

canal near the BBC building has also been

under the spotlight as residents have raised

concerns about public ablutions.

Barnes also testedwater samples from the

canal and according to her report there are

37 500 E.coli organisms per 100ml of water.

The canal next to the BBC building is se-

riously polluted and constitutes a health

risk to humans and animals. The sources of

this sewage pollution should be traced and

addressed as a matter of urgency.

Mamkeli says the City does test the water

running into the vlei as it is part of amonth-

ly rivermonitoring programme for theRiet-

vlei area.

E. coli levels taken inRietvlei for the last

sixmonthshave beenbelow100cfu/100mL.

Asked how the he responded to Barnes

reportwhich indicates the canal is serious-

ly polluted, Mamkeli says: We concur,

based on our own results.

According to Mayco member for trans-

port, Brett Herron, ablution activities at the

Bayside Canal will not affect water quality

in the canal unless faeces is washed into the

canal, for example, during rain.

This could result in localised and rela-

tively brief increases in the E. coli levels re-

corded in the canal. It is unlikely, however,

that sporadic incidences will have a meas-

urable effect on the deep water lake (Ri-

etvlei) located downstream of the canal due

to the reed beds which the water flows

through as these assist with water quality

improvement. E. coli levels in Rietvlei are

very low and well within the recommended

level for recreation such as sailing and wa-

ter skiing.

DaMatta says as per the resolution at the

most recent TVRA meeting, they will con-

tinue with independent tests.

I am very alarmed by the results in so

far that we accept that the City by taking

water samples only have been proven cor-

rect. The sea at this stage is not contaminat-

ed. What scares me on behalf of this entire

community is that the beach up to 20cm be-

low the surface is so contaminated that it

is off the scale. We need the City to take im-

mediate action for the safety and health of

residents.We need to identify sites for regu-

lar testing. This includes the issue at the

BBC building.

VWhat are your thoughts on the results? Send your

letter to [email protected].

Tests: all the dirt revealed

tests conducted around Table View. Here she is pictured gathering a sample at Big Bay beach.

Aman and his sister are in hospital after gun-

men opened fire on them at their jewellery

store in Racecourse Road on Monday.

ter sample in the sea closest to the slipway.

The bottle was opened under the water

and filled with sea water as far as the wave

allowed. Sand was rinsed off the outside aft-

erwards. The sample was placed in the cool-

er box under ice immediately after it was

taken. E. coli as well as Enterococci was de-

termined for this sample as this was a sea-

water source.

Here the test results show only one E.coli

organism to 100ml of sea water. In addition,

only five Enterococci organisms were

present.

In her recommendations, Barnes notes

that a second sewage spill occurred the day

after she collected the samples and recom-

mends that further testing be conducted.

The sample below the surface of the

beach sand is extremely polluted, while the

water close by in the sea itself is quite clean.

This indicates that (a) the beach is still dan-

gerously polluted so long after the spill, and

(b) that taking only a sample from the sea

anddeducting that the effects of the spill has

dissipated is invalid and provides a serious

underestimation of the risks. The City

should cordon off this beach for a much

longer time and do much more to clean up

this spill. I have been informed that another

sewage spill occurred the day after sam-

pling. It is strongly recommended that an-

other round of samples be taken to track the

level of thenew (added) pollution loadon the

beach.

According to Mayco member for health,

Siyabulela Mamkeli, the water at Big Bay

has been tested following the spills and sam-

ples collected on Monday 4 July were found

to be compliant. Further samples will be

collected for testing this week.

Mamkeli says the beach is safe to use and

beach sand generally has higher E. coli lev-

els.

E.coli infection is transmitted via the

oral route.We therefore advise that the pub-

lic wash their hands thoroughly with soap

after playing in the sand.Findingsof a study

done indicate that E.coli may persist in the

environment in cooler water longer than in

the warmer water encountered in summer.

The E. coli levels from the soil are always

higher than from thewater. During thewin-

ter months the public is less likely to be

playing in the sand than in the summer

months. The City does not monitor the soil

E.coli content.

The pollution of the water in the Bayside

canal near the BBC building has also been

under the spotlight as residents have raised

concerns about public ablutions.

Barnes also testedwater samples from the

canal and according to her report there are

37 500 E.coli organisms per 100ml of water.

The canal next to the BBC building is se-

riously polluted and constitutes a health

risk to humans and animals. The sources of

this sewage pollution should be traced and

addressed as a matter of urgency.

Mamkeli says the City does test the water

running into the vlei as it is part of amonth-

ly rivermonitoring programme for theRiet-

vlei area.

E. coli levels taken inRietvlei for the last

sixmonthshave beenbelow100cfu/100mL.

Asked how the he responded to Barnes

reportwhich indicates the canal is serious-

ly polluted, Mamkeli says: We concur,

based on our own results.

According to Mayco member for trans-

port, Brett Herron, ablution activities at the

Bayside Canal will not affect water quality

in the canal unless faeces is washed into the

canal, for example, during rain.

This could result in localised and rela-

tively brief increases in the E. coli levels re-

corded in the canal. It is unlikely, however,

that sporadic incidences will have a meas-

urable effect on the deep water lake (Ri-

etvlei) located downstream of the canal due

to the reed beds which the water flows

through as these assist with water quality

improvement. E. coli levels in Rietvlei are

very low and well within the recommended

level for recreation such as sailing and wa-

ter skiing.

DaMatta says as per the resolution at the

most recent TVRA meeting, they will con-

tinue with independent tests.

I am very alarmed by the results in so

far that we accept that the City by taking

water samples only have been proven cor-

rect. The sea at this stage is not contaminat-

ed. What scares me on behalf of this entire

community is that the beach up to 20cm be-

low the surface is so contaminated that it

is off the scale. We need the City to take im-

mediate action for the safety and health of

residents.We need to identify sites for regu-

lar testing. This includes the issue at the

BBC building.

Aman and his sister are in hospital after gun-

men opened fire on them at their jewellery

store in Racecourse Road on Monday.

According to Milnerton police spokesper-

son Warrant Officer Daphne OReilly, the

shoot-out took place just after 08:30 on Mon-

day at the Sanlam Business Park.

She explains the owner of a jewellerymanu-

facturing store arrived at the business park

shortly after 08:30 andwas carrying jewellery

worth R5m in a bag.

He was approached by two unknown men

who had firearms. They demanded he hand

over the bag.Meanwhile, themans sister saw

what was happening and came out and point-

ed a firearm at the suspects. The suspects

then opened fire on them.

OReilly says while the robbers went un-

scathed themanwas shot in the hand and the

sister shot in the neck. The gunmen then fled

the scene taking the bag with jewellery.

At this stage it is unknown whether or not

they used a vehicle and both victims have

been taken to hospital for treatment.

omelessness, bar fights, prostitution

and drugs are just some of the nega-

tive connotationswhen locals refer to

Koeberg Road.

But it is also an integral link in need of

a complete revitalisation, says provincial

community safetyministerDanPlato. Plato

joined concernedmembers of the Brooklyn,

Ysterplaat and Rugby Residents Associa-

tion (BYRRA) and the Brooklyn Ysterplaat

Neighbourhood Watch (BYNHW) on a walk

of Koeberg Road last week.

Thewalk tookplace shortly after amonth-

lyBYRRAmeetingwhere residents thanked

ward councillor Bernadette Le Roux for

some improvements which had taken place

over the years. They also acknowledged the

limited budget provided to individual coun-

cillors could not finance bigger upgrades

needed.

During the walk, residents highlighted

the increased amount of people migrating

to the streets, the unsanitary conditions of

stores and prostitutes found on each street

corner.

Speaking to TygerBurger after the walk,

Plato described the area as an eyesore.

The neighbourhood watch showed me

various things and I am not happy with the

state of the environment. I believe we need

to start consulting senior City of Cape Town

officials to see what can be done to upgrade

the area.

Plato says with Koeberg Road forming an

integral link between the greaterMilnerton

and Table View communities and the city

centre, it left much to be desired.

It really doesnt look nice and the prosti-

tution is rife.

Plato also applauded the efforts of the

BYNHWin curbing the sex trade overweek-

ends. For several months now, patrollers

have taken to standing in their bibs at hot-

spot locations where customers are known

to collect sexworkers. They do not interfere

with customers or sex workers but their

presence deters customers as they know

they are being watched.

The Citys Vice Squad has also identified

Koeberg Road as one of the main hotspots

for prostitution and have held several oper-

ations in recent months.

Plato also highlighted the condition of

buildings and the many bylaw infringe-

ments.

There aremany untidy shops andwe see

foreign nationals who sleep and bath in the

shops they run. This is very unhealthy and

we need to get inspectors in here.

He has now requested a list of concerns

ally share with mayor Patricia De Lille for

urgent intervention.

Twomenwho robbed and attacked awoman

in Table View, have appeared in court.

According to a report from Table View po-

lice, a 28-year-old woman was walking in

Raats Drive on Saturday 2 Julywhen she no-

ticed two unknown men approaching from

the front.

Police spokesperson Captain Adriana

Chandler says the woman decided to cross

the road and noticed that they were also

crossing.

She immediately found this suspicious

and started to run. The men followed her at

similar pace. They eventually caught the

victim and started assaulting her and one

threatened her with a knife. They grabbed

her handbag and started to run.

Chandler explains a taxi stoppedand some

occupants who exited the taxi started run-

ning after the suspects. They made a citi-

zens arrest before contacting the Table

View Police Station.

The two suspects who are related to one

another and in their late twenties, were

handed to police on the scene. The victims

belongings were handed back to her. She

sustained injuries and received medical at-

tention and was offered victim support by

police.

The suspects appeared in the Cape Town

Magistrates Court on Tuesday 5 July.

lthough the day to day cost of living in

Cape Town is a challenge for many lo-

cals, and leisure activities as an ex-

pense may not fit into the budget, it is still

possible for locals to enjoy their city, says

Gareth Bloor, Mayco member for tourism,

events and economic development, follow-

ing the citys big win at this years Travel

and Leisure Worlds Best Awards.

Cape Townwas namedwinner in the cate-

gory Top Cities in Africa and the Middle

East, during a ceremony held in New York

on Wednesday 6 July.

There is a variety of free and low-cost

things to do and see that make it possible for

locals to get out and enjoy the city. There are

parks and beaches, with hikes on the moun-

tain and in nature. In fact, one of Cape Town

Tourisms most popular pages on their blog

is called 50 things to do for under R50 in

Cape Town, he said in an interview with

TygerBurger. Bloor says this award is good

news not only for the tourism sector, but

to the local economy as a whole.

Besides airlines, hotels and other forms

of accommodation, the tourist rand is spent

on restaurants, transport, retail and other

activities not necessarily considered to be

tourism activities. The entire supply chain

is impacted by increased tourism, support-

ing local food producers, farmers and local

manufacturers, employment opportunities

and providing job sustainability, he said.

Raising the global profile of the city can

attract international investment and also

generate interest in the city as a potential

host city for business, sports events and con-

ferences.

When asked about inflated tourism prices

most locals cannot afford, Bloor says many

of these attractions have bucket list status

and are worth saving up for.

The big attractions are the reason many

international visitors travel across the

world for this bucket list experience, so

while they may come with a price tag, we

should see that they are worth saving up for

on our own bucket lists as locals, he says.

He adds that many of the local attractions

have specials aimed at locals, such as the

free Table Mountain Cableway trip on your

birthday on presentation of a South African

identity document, or open days at some of

SanParks destinations where there are re-

duced fees or no fees at all.

Bloor says the tourism market offers

many alternatives for locals.

Hike up to the top of Table Mountain

along one of the many hiking trails which

are so popular among international visitors,

or take a budget boat trip in the harbour,

he says.

Bloor warns that local tourism businesses

should guard against pricing themselves out

of themarket in favour of international visi-

tors.

He saysCapeTownTourism isdetermined

to showcase the entire city including the

northern suburbs, Atlantic seaboard and

Blaauwberg coast.

Hospital lends a helping hand

Clinical veterinarian Dr Natasha Ayres

says this generous donation of the fluid

warmer will greatly increase the level of

care they can offer to the seabird patients.

Annually, Sanccob admits approximate-

ly 2000 seabirds to its centre in Table View.

Subcutaneous, intravenous and oral flu-

ids warmed to the correct temperature are

often required to stabilise seabirds that are

sick or injured.

This increases their chances of a speedy

recovery. The new fluid warmer will pro-

vide warmed fluids at the correct tempera-

ture when required.

urgundy Estate and Summer Greens

were in the news for all the wrong rea-

sons recently when six residents were

arrested on Thursday last week for their al-

leged involvement in an online dating

scheme.

The suspects, all aged between 27 and 37,

appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates

Court the next day

and have since been

ordered to be trans-

ferred in custody to

Gauteng where they

will appear in the

Pretoria North Mag-

istrates Court on 15

July.

It is alleged that

South African Non-

hanhla Mda and Ni-

gerians Nicholas

Ebbone Okonji, Em-

manuelOgagarhoAdiebrefe, FranklinMeje

Bagogum, Emmanuel Oluwagbenga Adu

and Imovdu Imomkhe Abraham targeted

unsuspecting women online and then

conned them out of thousands of rands.

Hawks spokesperson Captain Lloyd Ram-

ovha elaborates: The 31-year-old South Af-

rican woman, suspected to have been the

one who cashed out all the money market

transactions deposited by victims, was

foundwith R50 000 in cashwhen shewas ar-

rested.

Thus far the seven victims who have

come forward have been conned out of a

combined amount of close to R400 000.

He goes on to state that ongoing investiga-

tions into the onlinedating scam ledauthor-

ities to arrest two suspects in Burgundy Es-

tate and the rest in Summer Greens.

The suspects would create fake accounts

on online dating sites to lure women. They

would chat with the victims for a while be-

fore starting to come up with different sce-

narios which would see women depositing

or transferring money to the banking de-

tails which the suspects would have provid-

ed, he elaborates.

More victims are expected to come for-

ward, with the net of deceit stretching fur-

ther than currently

believed.

Ramovha says

anyone who has

been duped out of

money this way

should contact the

police.

This latest case of

suspected online

dating deception fol-

lows on another, al-

so committed by a

Nigerian man last

year. In that case theman targeted vulner-

able victims for grooming before asking

for money for false emergencies. In his pro-

files he claimed to be wealthy and able to

repay monies advanced.

The profiles included photographs and

personal information.

There has since been a series of court cas-

es which dealt with other online dating

scam incidents.

Coincidentally, in almost every incident

of this type of crime over the last few years,

a foreign national was the main suspect or

one of the suspects.

Most of these types of crimes are built

around establishing the trust of the victim

before asking formoney, which is promised

to be returned with interest, but never is.

Love scamsters

transferred

Thus far the seven

victimswhohave

come forward have

been conned out of a

combined amount of

close toR400 000.

urgundy Estate and Summer Greens

were in the news for all the wrong rea-

sons recently when six residents were

arrested on Thursday last week for their al-

leged involvement in an online dating

scheme.

The suspects, all aged between 27 and 37,

appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates

Court the next day

and have since been

ordered to be trans-

ferred in custody to

Gauteng where they

will appear in the

Pretoria North Mag-

istrates Court on 15

July.

It is alleged that

South African Non-

hanhla Mda and Ni-

gerians Nicholas

Ebbone Okonji, Em-

manuelOgagarhoAdiebrefe, FranklinMeje

Bagogum, Emmanuel Oluwagbenga Adu

and Imovdu Imomkhe Abraham targeted

unsuspecting women online and then

conned them out of thousands of rands.

Hawks spokesperson Captain Lloyd Ram-

ovha elaborates: The 31-year-old South Af-

rican woman, suspected to have been the

one who cashed out all the money market

transactions deposited by victims, was

foundwith R50 000 in cashwhen shewas ar-

rested.

Thus far the seven victims who have

come forward have been conned out of a

combined amount of close to R400 000.

He goes on to state that ongoing investiga-

tions into the onlinedating scam ledauthor-

ities to arrest two suspects in Burgundy Es-

tate and the rest in Summer Greens.

The suspects would create fake accounts

on online dating sites to lure women. They

would chat with the victims for a while be-

fore starting to come up with different sce-

narios which would see women depositing

or transferring money to the banking de-

tails which the suspects would have provid-

ed, he elaborates.

More victims are expected to come for-

ward, with the net of deceit stretching fur-

ther than currently

believed.

Ramovha says

anyone who has

been duped out of

money this way

should contact the

police.

This latest case of

suspected online

dating deception fol-

lows on another, al-

so committed by a

Nigerian man last

year. In that case theman targeted vulner-

able victims for grooming before asking

for money for false emergencies. In his pro-

files he claimed to be wealthy and able to

repay monies advanced.

The profiles included photographs and

personal information.

There has since been a series of court cas-

es which dealt with other online dating

scam incidents.

Coincidentally, in almost every incident

of this type of crime over the last few years,

a foreign national was the main suspect or

one of the suspects.

Most of these types of crimes are built

around establishing the trust of the victim

before asking formoney, which is promised

to be returned with interest, but never is.

Love scamsters

Thus far the seven

victimswhohave

come forward have

been conned out of a

combined amount of

close toR400 000.

As questions continue to swirl around

the future of erf 1117 near Big Bay, resi-

dents have tabled an interesting propos-

al.

In recent weeks the erection of illegal

dwellings on the troubled vacant proper-

ty, owned by the national department of

public works, has raised the concern of

West Beach residents who have ques-

tioned what the future plans are for the

property. It was recently revealed that a

community garden had been created but

the department says this is illegal and

those whomanage it do not have permis-

sion.

In a written response to TygerBurger

in June, national spokesperson for the

public works department, Thami Mchu-

nu, confirmed theywere aware of the on-

going problems and would be finalising

a plan for the future of the property. At

the time, he did not elaborate what these

plans consisted of.

Last week, residents questioned

whether these plans included the sale of

the land.

The possible sale of the land was first

made public in June last year when pro-

vincial minister for human settlements,

Bonginkosi Madikizela, said in a public

meeting that negotiations between his

department and the national department

were at an advanced stage. Asked to

comment on whether or not the provin-

cial department still intended to pur-

chase the land, Madikizela gave no re-

sponse.

In addition, Mchunu, who initially

promised toprovide a response in this re-

gard, failed to respond at the time of go-

ing to print.

According to Table View Ratepayers

Association (TVRA) chairpersonMandy

Da Matta, recent ongoings including the

garden have raised concerns for many.

She says the TVRA has established that

the garden was illegal.

She says the uncertain future of this

erf is a concern for many living on the

boundary.

We made a suggestion that if erf 1117

goes up for sale, we could possibly estab-

lish a community trust to purchase the

property to safeguard it.As a community

wemaybe able to put through structured

development for the entire community.

This is as opposed to being at the mercy

of government departments and offi-

cials, and this community can determine

its own future.

During recent interviews residents

living in Happy Valley have indicated

they are unhappy about the illegal erec-

tion of new dwellings.

VWhat do you think the department should do

with this property? Send your letter to

[email protected].

Melkbosstrand police have helped rescue 11

Greyhound dogs from six men who alleged-

ly used the dogs for hunting.

According to a police report, on Sunday

a member of the Melkbosstrand Communi-

ty Police Forum (CPF) was travelling from

Yzerfontein toMelkbosstrand along the R27

when an old Isuzu double cab bakkie travel-

ling in the same direction with a number

of large dogs in the back, was spotted.

Police spokespersonConstableDebbieAl-

ard says the dogs looked uncomfortable and

this, as well as other issues, raised suspi-

cion.

The CPF member contacted Melkboss-

trand policewho intercepted the double cab

bakkie on the M19 road. Officers found 11

large greyhound hunting dogs, a dead por-

cupine and a dead Cape jackal. It appeared

that the animals had recently been hunted

and killed by these dogs.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

to Animals (SPCA) and Cape Nature Con-

servation were called as well as the Melk-

bosstrand Peanut Animal Welfare (PAW).

The dehydrated dogs were expertly and

sympathetically taken care of by PAW who

provided themwithmuchneededwater and

food. Three divisions of the SPCA arrived

from various areas around the Cape and

two divisions of CapeNature Conservation.

The dogs were successfully treated on the

scene by the SPCA, but two of the dogs were

treated separately as they were in critical

condition. The SPCAstated that porcupines

are poached and sold for muti and can

fetch around R70 000 each.

A case docket has been opened by the

SPCAandCapeNatureConservationunder

theAnimalsProtectionAct, and the sixmen

aged between 27 and 59 were arrested and

appeared in the AtlantisMagistrates Court

yesterday.

The SPCA and Cape Nature Conserva-

tion have warned people that hunting with

pack dogs is not only cruel to the animals

beinghunted, but also cruel to the dogs used

for this illegal hunting activities. The ani-

mals beinghunted die a terrifying and cruel

death and the dogs are pushed beyond their

limits. In previous reported incidents itwas

found that these dogs become extremely ex-

hausted and they are in fact injected with

various medications on the spot to push

them to continue. This was evident in this

case where the poachers had various inject-

able medicines in their possession.

Station commander Captain Ronita van

Der Toorn commended the CPF, SPCA,

PAW, CapeNature Conservation and police

for their excellent work, dedication and

commitment ensuring that the perpetrators

of crime are brought to justice. She further

encouraged the community to keep on as-

sisting the police in ridding their neigh-

bourhoods of criminal elements.
