PENDELAARS: LEEF IN VREES HULLE WORD BEROOF OF BESEER

Stasie-frustrasie

MAGRIET THERON

@magrietron

T

oestande rondom die Tygerbergstasie

bly n kopseer vir pendelaars wat daag-

liks vrees hulle word daar beroof of be-

seer.

Ek bly in Ravensmead en ry elke oggend

voor ses vanhier afwerk toe, s eenmiddel-

jarige vrou, wat haar telefoon onder haar

klere wegsteek in n poging om nie n derde

keer vanjaar n prooi van misdaad by hier-

die stasie te word nie.

Sy s sy sien amper daagliks hoe mense

se selfone, handsakke en juweliersware ge-

steel word of hoe ontstelde slagoffers huil of

skree nadat hulle beroof is.

Sy s sy het geen ander keuse as om oor

die voetbrug van die stasie te stap nie, maar

dit is waar die meeste voorvalle plaasvind.

Sommige oggende stap haar man saam met

haar, maar sy s die ander dae is sy aan die

genade oorgelaat.

Sy het nie een van die twee voorvalle toe

haar selfoon gesteel is, by die polise aange-

meldnie.VolgensGeorgeKepkey, voorsitter

van Tygerwatch in Parowvallei, was daar

verlede Donderdag n gewapende roof op die

voetbrug.

Vyf jong mans met messe het n man hel-

der oordag beroof en langs die kanaal in die

rigting van Parow-stasie weggehardloop,

s hy.

Langs die voetbrug is die draad heeltemal

vernietig en kan boosdoeners sodoende op

die spoorwe se grond op die vlug slaan en

wegkruip.

Hierdie grondvalnie onderdie jurisdiksie

van die Suid-Afrikaanse polisie nie. Volgens

pendelaars is daar egter selde of ooit enige

sekerheidswagte van Metrorail te sien.

annual fun day for children

suffering from cancer and

their families on Saturday.

day to make a little bit of

normal among all the

turmoil. So says Deirdr

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Riana Scott, woordvoerder van Metrorail, s

bykans 500 km spoorlyn met 122 stasies en 20

depotsmoet in die provinsie gepolisieer word

en omdat hulle beperkte hulpbronne beskik-

baar het, is dit noodsaaklik dat enigemisdaad

by die polisie aangemeld moet word.

Ons ken sekerheid toe aan die hand van

inligting wat ons kry. Die hoofbron van hier-

die inligting is gerapporteerde misdaad, s

sy. Daarom is dit van absolute belang dat

die geringste misdaad by die polisie aange-

meld moet word. al is dit hoe onbeduidend.

Selfs n persoon wat verdag lyk kan aange-

meld word, want dit help om die prentjie te

skets van die tendense in daardie omge-

wing, s sy.

Scott s omdat hulle beperkte bronne het,

is dit ongelukkig die enigste manier hoeMe-

trorail kan werk. Sy s die spoorwegpolisie

vergader weekliks op provinsiale vlak met

die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiediens om aan die

hand van misdaadverslae sekere knelpunte

te identifiseer. Mense moet ook besef dat

misdaad noumet die Kerstyd gaan toeneem,

want selfs boewewil Kersfees hou, s Scott.

Sy s sekerheid word tydens die Kerstyd

oral verskerp. Buiten die spoorwegpolisie,

is daar ook Metrorail Protection Services

en kontraksekerheid by onderskeie sta-

sies. Metrorail spandeer tot R180 miljoen

per jaar aan sekerheid in die Wes-Kaap.

Wat die onderhoud van grensdrade be-

tref, s Scott dat Metrorail n baie wye ge-

bied bedien endat die onderhoud in siklus-

se werk. Hoewel die De Grendel-stasie in

Parow-Noord onlangs so n grensdraad-op-

knapping gehad het, s inwoners in di

omgewing daar is geen punt as dit nie be-

hoorlik gedoen word nie.

Lizelle Fourie woon in Villa Verdi reg

langs die De Grendel-stasie se terrein en

sy s die hele draad in die omgewing is on-

langsmet n stewige heining vervang, behal-

we die deel wat van die hoek van haar erf

vir ongeveer 100meter tot bydie stasie strek.

Rondlopers gebruik hierdie stuk slap

draad nou as n deurgang na die spoorweg-

grond, waar daar nog steeds allerhande on-

heilighede en bosslapery plaasvind.

Ek is bedags alleen by die huis en al het

ons eiendom n elektriese heining, het ek

verlede week n man gesien wat wydsbeen

bo-oor die heining staan, gereed om in ons

erf te spring. Dit is nie die eerste keer dat

dit gebeur nie. Eendag het daar n span on-

derhoudswerkers van Metrorail opgedaag,

maar hulle het sommer met hul grassny-

trekker bo-oor die draadheining reg by die

hoek van ons huis gery. Ek was verstom.

Lizelle Fourie staan by die Metrorailheining reg langs haar huis, waar die onderhoudspan van

Metrorail eenvoudig booor die heining gery het toe hulle die gras by die De Grendelstasie in

ParowNoord kom sny het. FOTOS: MAGRIET THERON

@linnertmb

T

here was back-slapping all around

when the Voortrekker Road Corridor

City Improvement Districts (VRCID)

crime and grime fighting machine held its

second annual general meeting recently.

The second AGM of the VRCID was a

huge success. It was made possible because

the outstanding results of the past year

made feedback to our members so much

easier, said Hardus Zevenster, chairman

of the VRCID board.

I thus cannot help but congratulate the

dedicated personnel for

their outstanding serv-

ice in 2014, he said.

The partnership be-

tween theVRCIDand the

business community

was another reason for

our success, said Zeven-

ster.

He said corporates and

businesses that have es-

tablished themselves in

the VRCID area have

proven invaluable to

their success.

Derek Bock, opera-

tions manager of the VR-

CID, said it was very im-

portant to continue to build strong relation-

ships.

Our precinct managers, Sarel Strydom

(in Bellville), and Rushdi Toefy (in Parow),

work with many departments across the

City of Cape Town, he said.

Our success depends on their support as

we carry out our daily operations, said

Bock.

TheVRCIDs key objectiveswere, accord-

ing to Bock: There is a need to begin a two-

way conversation with our partners, inves-

tors and community. While visible, our

work on the streets needs to be supported

by a strong message of investment.

Bock said property prices were begin-

ning to reflect the VRCIDs success.

Tax incentives such as the Urban Devel-

opment Zone (UDZ) and initiatives such as

the Mayoral Urban Regeneration Pro-

gramme (MURP) have a role to play in at-

tracting investment, he said. Parking

management remained a key issue.

We recognise the urgent need to provide

cleaner, safer public parking areas across

Bellville. In thenewyearwewill be discuss-

ing ways andmeans to do this with the City

of Cape Town.

Thirdly, he highlighted the continued

prioritisation of their four social develop-

ment programmes.

Simply moving people away from an ar-

ea does not address the root cause of home-

lessness.

Partners Radio Tygerberg andMESwere

helping facilitate the establishment of a

Hope Centre where street people could ac-

cessworkopportunities and skills training.

This is a much more sustainable ap-

proach that we hope will change the social

profile in the VRCID area.

Lastly, Bock said the VRCID would con-

tinue strengthening tieswith the police and

city partners.

City mayco mamber Sam Pienaar,

charged with the progress of the MURP,

said he was still as committed to realising

the promise of the VRCID to clean up the

Voortrekker Road corridor.

The VRCID is a critical instrument in

the future commercial growth of the Voor-

trekker Road corridor.

Local ward councillor Leonore van der

Walt said the impact of the VRCID on Bel-

lville and Parow was clearly visible.

Brendan van der Merwe, another Bel-

lville ward councillor, said the improve-

ments made by the VRCID have benefited

residents and business immeasurably.

@magrietron

Die Tygerberg-hospitaalskool het verlede

week sy nuwe biblioteek ingehuldig ter ere

van die ontslape dr. Louis Heyns.

Dr. Heyns was voorsitter van ons be-

stuursraad. Sy groot helde was die kinders

van hierdie skool, s Susan Potgieter, hoof

vandie skool, oor di pediater vandieTyger-

berg-hospitaal wat verlede jaar vermoor is.

Die biblioteek is na hom vernoem.

Dr. Heyns se belangstelling en liefde vir

die kinders van die Tygerberg-hospitaal-

skool was altyd vir ons almal besonders. Die

biblioteek verteenwoordig sy aanmoediging

vir ons almal om te strewe na n beter oplei-

ding, s Potgieter.

Sy s 2014 was n jaar van boeke en lees

vir die skool en was die opknapping van die

biblioteek hul groot projek.

Die ou bruin houtrakke is in helder kleu-

re oorgeverf en die die hele area is meer kin-

dervriendelik gemaak, s Potgieter.

Met n skenking van byna R6 000, kon hul-

le n hele vrag nuwe boeke aankoop.

Die inhuldiging van die Louis Heyns-bi-

blioteek was n lieflike aand. Ek was bang

ons gaan amal aan die huil raak, maar dit

was so n positiewe ervaring, s Potgieter.

Meer as 20 vanHeyns se pediatrie-kollegas

het die geleentheid bygewoon, asook sy fa-

milie, die bestuursraad en personeel van die

skool.

Hier is Mari, Charl, Helene en Dalene Heyns, Louwna van Niekerk, Chris Heyns, Eldal Swart, Lize Hofmeyr, Daneale Heyns en Alwyn Swart by die

inhuldiging van die Louis Heynsbiblioteek.

The Parow policeman who was arrested on

21 November has been released on R1 000

bail andhis casewill continue at theBellvil-

le Magistrates Court on 30 January 2015.

Nicolaas Petrus Cilliers (25) was arrested

inhis hometown, Paarl, on charges of defea-

ting the ends of justice and fraud.

It is alleged Cilliers responded to a call

from the Parow Park Neighbourhood

Watch recently, who handed over a suspect

with 15 mandrax tablets to be arrested. But

no arrest, docket or evidence were to be

found afterwards.

On the fraud charge, Cilliers is alleged to

have forged a medical certificate to cover

himself for absence from duty.

Cilliers, as well as ten other members of

theParowpolicewhohavebeenarrested re-

cently on fraud and corruption charges, ha-

ve been temporarily suspended from the

service. According to Lt Kevin Williams,

spokesperson of the Parow police, each

member had the opportunity to contest

their suspensions.

The provincial commissioner, Lt Gen

Arno Lamoer, has to decide the outcome of

the suspensions pending the merit of their

cases, Williams says.

J

ail time, serious injuries, death and a li-

fetime of regret are the possible results

of resorting to road rage, warns ER24

spokesperson Chitra Bodasing.

Almost every motorist has experienced

some sort of frustration while driving but

it is how far you take it that could mean the

differencebetween life anddeath, she says.

Road rage is a criminal offence. Anyone

found harassing motorists on the road will

be charged. They could face charges such

reckless and negligent driving, harassment

and others depending on the seriousness of

the crime.

If amotorist is harassed, they should take

down the registrationnumber of the vehicle

driven by the suspect and call the police.

Do not retaliate. This could aggravate

the situation. You can get killed, she says.

She refers to a recent incident to which

ER24 responded.

The two drivers had an altercation and

they stopped at an intersection. One driver

climbed out of his vehicle and assaulted the

othermotorist. As hewalked back to his car

the other driver drew his firearm and shot

him in the chest. He died on scene, she

says.

Henning Jacobs, the trauma support co-

ordinator at ER24, urges people to stay calm

and do as little as possible if provoked.

He says road rage incidents are preventa-

ble if people do not act out of anger.

He advises drivers to enter their vehicles

in a peaceful frame ofmind prior to driving.

Music helps some people. Breathing

exercises can also help you stay calm, said

Jacobs.

According to Jacobs, road rage is linked

to people experiencing personal or work-re-

lated problems.

When people experience trauma or

stress they are flooded with feelings and

emotion. When people do not vent their fee-

lings or do not have coping mechanisms in

place, these feelings and emotions build up.

A road incident can trigger all of those emo-

tions at once, he said.

These emotions can lead to road rage.

Therefore, road rage can be prevented if

people have coping skills in place and met-

hods to help vent their feelings. Road rage

may be prevented if people obtain proper

help for their mental or emotional pro-

blems. See a counsellor or psychologist, he

said.

Road rage can lead

to lifetime regret

@linnertmb

A faulty telephone line may be one of the

reasons for the increase in invasive wasps

across the city.

Readers complained they received no res-

ponse fromthe citysEarlyDetection,Rapid

Response (EDRR) team after TygerBurger

reported on the current wasp problem (Re-

sidents warned: aggressive wasps settling

across suburbs, 5 November).

The problem has been identified in the

meantime, and an alternative offered to the

problematic number, 021 712 1434.

Ulricke Irlich, project manager at the

EDRR, said their telephones lines were

down due to cable theft.

This meant the phones simply rang, so

people think we are not answering.

Please canpeople email us at edrr@cape-

town.gov.za? she said.

It looks like Telkom will not replace the

lines, so we are trying to make alternative

arrangements, but this is taking time.

The two invasive wasp species have seen

a warning issued, especially in Bellville,

Durbanville, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein and

Kuils River areas, but residents from as far

afield as Langa, Khayelitsha and the sour-

thern suburbs have also complained.

The culprits are theEuropeanpaperwasp

(Polistes dominula) and the German wasp,

or yellow-jacket (Vespula germanica).

These species kill off indigenous honey

bees and the German wasp is known to be

aggressive when disturbed.

V Residents canvisit theEDRRswebsite atwww.ca

petowninvasives.org.za/edrr for more information

about their programme.

Cable theft downs wasp line

Residents can email the city with their wasp

woes in the absence of a working telephone

number.

Hundreds of hungry children are fed

weekly by Meals on Wheels at the Parow

Preparatory School, De Vrijzee Primary

School and two outpatient clinics at Ty-

gerberg Hospital.

Most of the children arrive hungry at

these schools and at the hospital, says

LindaLouw,manager ofMeals onWheels

in Parow.

Louw heads a massive feeding scheme

that providesmore than 115 000meals per

year, of which close to 300 per week are

handed out to these children.

The Tygerberg Childrens Hospital

paediatric outpatients is a busy service,

says Dr Cilla Springer, a paediatrician at

this hospital. She says children fromboth

the Capemetropole and outlying areas in

the platteland attend these subspecialist

clinics.

In order to reach the hospital by 07:00,

children leave home early in themorning

and have to travel long distances by pub-

lic transport. The children often spend

many hours to have their folders opened,

then waiting for their physician consul-

tations and later queuing for the pharma-

cy.

According to a research study by a so-

cial worker some time ago, food security

is a problem for a significant proportion

of these families. The majority of these

children are from lower socioeconomic

groups.

Meals onWheelshas servedan invalu-

able role in improving the physical and

emotional morale of our children and

their caregivers andwe thank this gener-

ous organisation for their commitment

in providing a vital service to our fami-

lies, Springer says.

Louw, who also heads the Tygerberg

Service Centre for the Aged, says she is

very proud of the seniors at this centre,

many of whom it is a passion to be in-

volved with Meals on Wheels.

There are two senior couples, the Cas-

tles and the Josephs, for whom it is an an-

nual highlight to serve the special Christ-

mas treats to these children. They have

respectively reached out at the hospital

for 11 and six years now, says Louw.

The Cape Town Motorcycle Club (CTMCC)

and the Goodwood Sports Club donated R14

680 worth of animal food to the Uitsig Ani-

malShelter inFisantekraal after their chari-

ty ride on Saturday.

CTMCCchairFaffa de Jager said thedona-

tion forms part of the clubs regular initiati-

ves to help organisations in need. We do a

lot for charity, both locally and as far afield

as towns in the Boland and on the West Co-

ast, says De Jager.

This months charity event was made pos-

sible by contributions from club members,

particularly Johan (Schallas) van Schalk-

wyk, and the many Absolute Pet specialist

vet shops throughout the peninsula. The

clubs ethos of Themore you give themore

you get certainly plays a big part in these

endeavours, says De Jager.

The clubs next event will be on 21 Decem-

ber when they will donate Christmas gifts

to a childrens home.

We know that we can not change the

world, but every bit helps, says De Jager.

V People who want to donate food or clothing to

the CTMCC can contact De Jager on 082 9789339.

Happy Feet, the juvenile penguin who cap-

turedTygerBurger readers hearts, is well

on the road to recovery.

He will spend Christmas at the Southern

AfricanFoundation for theConservation of

Coastal Birds (Sanccob) along with 445

other abandoned African penguin chicks

from around the Peninsula.

Every year between October and Janua-

ry, Sanccob helps hundreds of African pen-

guin chicks that have been abandoned by

their parents during their annualmoulting

cycle.

During this time the parents replace

their tuxedo with a brand new set of wa-

terproof feathers and are unable to hunt for

fish and feed their young during the three

to four week moulting process.

As a result, the chicks that have yet to

fledge, like Happy Feet, are abandoned and

face starvation unless conservation organi-

sations like Sanccob intervene.

On Christmas day, Happy Feet will wake

up to an enriching meal of sardines fed to

him by his caring minders.

During the day he will be kept hydrated

through regular administration of fresh

water and special electrolyte fluids.

He will get his strength back with daily

doses of vitamins and hone his swimming

skills in the pool, so he will be fit and ready

for release back into the wild to join the

other 18 000 breeding pairs left in the wild.

In the evening he will sleep in a comfy

heated pen with soft matting.

As a gesture of thanks to Happy Feets

rescuer, Liezl Bestbier from Melkbos-

strand, Sanccobhas adoptedHappyFeet for

Liezl.

Other readers who would like to give so-

me Christmas cheer to the tiny chicks at

Sanccob can adopt and name a penguin for

R500 by visiting www.sanccob.co.za.

Readers will receive a photograph of

their chick, a certificate of adoption, a

thank you letter and a sticker that says I

adopted an African penguin. The proceeds

go toward the chicks food, medication, ca-

re and safe transport back to the colonies.

If you come across a distressed seabird,

call Sanccob on 021 557 6155 or the 24-hour

call line on 078 638 3731.

After taking out my car license

I forgot to display it on my

window. When I saw a traffic

officer writing out a fine, he

explained that there were two

amounts on it R500 if your

license lapsed or R300 if you

took it out and did not display

it.

So its two weeks later and I

want to pay it. I first try the

internet, as fines can be paid

via Absa. The only problem is

there is no reference number

on the fine, so the payment

will not go through.

I then go to Absa, where the

cashier tells me that the

Traffic Departments system is

offline and I have to wait for a

second letter through the SA

Post Office.

No problem. So I go off to

the Traffic Department in

Durbanville, where I am told

that they can only take the

R500 payment, not the R300

one. This can only happen at

the Parow Traffic Department.

I then called the main

number, where I was told that

the fine has not been captured

so I cant pay it.

Why issue fines if they know

that the offender cant pay it?

Is the Traffic Department

run by human beings? I am

beginning to wonder...

After reading the SMS from

Anonymous, I feel the need to

bite back (TB SMSes, 26

November).

So many who regard them-

selves as dog lovers forget

that while they are at work,

away for a weekend or at

times even a week, we the

lonely, old or just selfish are

subjected to the continuous sad

howling, whining and barking

from many a neglected pet.

Dog lovers often

neglect their pets

You leave home at the crack

of dawn, returning some eight

hours or more later.

The so-called pet is given

its food and then the owner is

off to bed and sleeps like a log,

never hearing the night bark-

ing. And so it is every single

day.

How many genuine loving

hours are spent with the

animal? As far as you are

concerned your dog protects

your home and the barking is

their way of communicating.

To whom, I ask?

To the phrase get a life,

have you not noticed that we

who complain about the bark-

ing are very much alive. We are

the ones who hear and are not

deaf to the sounds of an animal

in distress, just surviving a

dogs life day after day.

Indien daar verkeersknope

ontstaan is daar geen verkeers-

beampte in sig nie, maar

vanoggend (Donderdag 27

November) toe ek om 09:45 by

die opening van die nuwe

Builders Warehouse naby

CapeGate was, was sekerheids-

beamptes besig om die verkeer

by die robot te reguleer, terwyl

daar twee verkeervoertuie met

verkeersbeamptes by CapeGate

gestaan het. Die beamptes in

elke voertuig was besig om iets

op hul selfone te doen.

Ek het vir die manlike

verkeersbeampte, nadat ek

teruggeloop het na my voertuig,

genoem dat hulle liewers die

wetsoortreders vasvat as om

daar te sit. Sy antwoord was

dat hulle dit nog gaan doen.

Die kersie op die koek was

toe ek van die Uitsig-gemeente

se feesmark kom om ongeveer

10:50 en daar staan nog n

verkeersmotor met n beampte

onder die bome naby Stodels in

Eversdalstraat geparkeer. Di

was ook op sy selfoon besig.

Wie monitor die mense se

bewegings?

Daar word gedurig genoem

dat daar te min verkeersbeamp-

tes is.

VERTEL MY DIE OU STORIE

Epos

Verkeersbeamptes

nou selfoonkorps

n Paar jaar gelede, terwyl ek n

vriend afgelaai het in Mew

Way, Khayelitsha, was ons deur

twee gewapende rowers aange-

hou. Hulle het hul vuurwapens

op ons gerig en aangedring op

geld, selfone en vuurwapens.

Alhoewel mense glo dat

gewapende reaksie in so n

situasie die geweld sal vererger,

het gewapende reaksie in

hierdie geval die aanval

ontlont. Die aanvallers was baie

goed georganiseerd; hulle het

selfs n versteekte wag gehad

om hulle tydens die aanval te

dek. Hulle was nie gewone

straatboewe nie.

Dit kan nie van die ongewa-

pende inwoners, wat alles

gesien het en vir hul lewens

vrees, verwag word om hulp te

bied ten opsigte van die vang of

identifisering van die betrokke

misdadigers nie.

Die enigste persoon wat n

slegte persoon met n vuurwa-

pen kan stop, is n goeie

persoon met n vuurwapen.

Onmiddellike reaksie in n

lewensbedreigende situasie is

altyd die beste. Die polisie kan

nie altyd oral wees om jou te

beskerm nie.

Daar is wel negatiewe aspekte

verbonde aan vuurwapens,

maar die positiewe aspekte is

meer.

Want moorddadige maniakke

verkies ongewapende slagoffers.

In ons geval het n taxi vol

getuies gewys wat die meeste

Suid-Afrikaners voel wanneer

die goeie ouens terugbaklei.

In die verbyry was n gewaai

en duime in die lug aan die

orde van die dag.

Ons het nodig om voorbereid

te wees en te doen wat verlang

word om ons vriende en

families te beskerm.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Meer as 16 dae

nodig omdi

geweld te stuit

Di tyd van die jaar word daar gewoonlik

groot klem gel op geweld teen vroue en

kinders.

Vir sestien dae lank word ons gereeld

herinner aan di euwel en hoor ons

skokkende feite en statistieke daaroor.

Maar verbeter die situasie enigsins?

Want jaar na jaar word dieselfde donker

prentjie geskilder.

Vroue word in siklusse van geweld

vasgevang, omdat hulle by n man bly ter

wille van sy status of omdat hulle nie die

vermo of selfvertroue het om na hulself

en hul kinders om te sien nie.

Op die lang duur word hul selfbeeld so

geskaad dat hulle nie in hulself glo nie;

ook nie meer vertroue het in die beeld

wat hulle na buite uitstraal nie. Hulle

verloor hul identiteit en voel hulle het

geen waarde in die samelewing meer nie.

Kinders word so mishandel dat die

sielkundige letsels daarvan vir ewig aan

hul menswees vaskleef, en baie keer die

basis vorm vir hul eie geweldsoptrede

teenoor vroue en kinders in hul volwasse

jare.

As gemeenskap kan ons dit eenvoudig

nie meer ignoreer nie en moet ons druk

op die regering toepas om die politieke

wil te kweek om kragdadig teen geweld

en misdaad op te tree. Ook nie net wat

geweld teen vroue en kinders betref nie,

maar teen lle geweld en misdaad.

Dit is tyd dat ons nie net vir 16 dae

van die jaar hieroor standpunt inneem

nie, maar elke dag van die ander 349 dae.

Raak ons nie almal betrokke nie, gaan

di wanpraktyk net onverpoos voortduur.

Dagga gets up neighbours nose

One of Jeremy Actons chickens takes a nap. A neighbour took this picture and sent it to

TygerBurger. Acton is the leader of the South African Dagga Party and neighbours are complai

ning about his animal husbandry in Kenridge.

T

he smell of dagga fumes and farmyard

animals is a massive irritation to

Dagga Party leader Jeremy Actons

neighbour.

Actons neighbour, Etienne Nortje, says

hes been struggling for months to get the

authorities to take action against Acton.

They did come and have an inspection,

but (Acton) just blatantly ignores their war-

nings, said Nortje.

His complaints include Actons keeping

backyard animals in Kenridge.

It sounds like a farm next to us. The man

breeds with rabbits, he has a bunch of chic-

kens, theres a beehive and a little while ago

his dog ran down the street with a rabbit

skin past where our children play! said

Nortje.

The animal smells attract flies, especial-

ly in summer. The mans pool is greener

than grass and will soon create problems

with mosquitoes, he added.

He says Acton does nothing to maintain

his yard. I have paid for his side of the lawn

to be cut, but he got highly upset with me

he says its his rabbits food!

Ward councillor Andrea Crous said she

was aware of complaints from

neighbours.

I have been approached byKenridge resi-

dents about a neighbour who has no respect

for them because of his unhygienic yard, the

droppings from his chickens and rabbits,

and the smoking of dagga at all times of the

day, said Crous.

The city is working on the problem, but

that is not good enough for the residents.

Theyve spoken to this neighbour, but he

just couldnt be bothered.

From Actons side, things look a whole lot

different.

I have applied for a licence for the 11 chic-

kens I keep as well as for my four rabbits.

I have yet to get a reply from the city, he

told TygerBurger.

He said he asked all his neighbours for

consent to keep his chickens he doesn't ha-

ve a rooster and only one neighbour con-

sented.

He said to keep the fly population down he

has five fly traps on his premises that give

off a stink, as well as a compost heap, but

these were kept away from neighbours.

The issuewith his tall grass is amisunder-

standing, he says.

We own guinea pigs. Grass is the only re-

source I use to feed them. The grass in Ken-

ridge is cut severely short I have to drive

ten kilometres to Stodels to get grass for

them, he said.

Im trying tomaintain a certain length of

grass 100 mm at least so as not to have

to battle weeds.

He said he resented neighbours imposing

their sense of neatness and lack of environ-

mental awareness on his family.

Acton said his pool did have a lot of algae

but was filtered daily and had no mosquit-

oes. I am in the process of applying to Cape

Nature Conservation for a permit to keep

carp and run the pool as an aquaponics ope-

ration a natural pond system. The inspec-

tor has been here about four times, but has

not seen a single mosquito in that pool.

About dagga smoking, Acton said he used

it in accordance with my knowledge of my

rights, for medical reasons, and as a part of

my personal spiritual meditations in my re-

lationship with my Creator.

I do not use it indoors or in the presence

of my family, who dont like its smell. I al-

ways make every effort to check wind direc-

tion to minimise any impact (on others).

He is not afraid of prosecution for his dag-

ga use. It is now possible for any citizen fa-

cing charges to stay their prosecution in the

High Court. I andmany others have summo-

ned the state to scientifically justify the pro-

hibition and prove its constitutionality.He

feels the current neighbourly issues were

very much a clash of perceptions between

two individuals with different back-

grounds and hoped these differences could

be peaceably resolved.

Acton said Crous had never visited his

premises. He was simply practicing his own

small-scale animal husbandry to the extent

his yard allowed it.The local ratepayers as-

sociation said they know of no problems

with Acton or his yard.

We havent received any complaints. If

there was a big problem, I am sure residents

would have complained to us already, said

Kenridge The Hills Ratepayers Association

chairperson Geordie Hogarth.

A senior city official who may not be na-

med confirmed to Crous that they have had

various complaints about the premises.

The owner has been sued and found guil-

ty and fined about his animals. He has, in

the meantime, applied for licences for his

animals, the official said.

Should Actons applications be unsucces-

sful, his animals could be removed, or he

would be sued again.

We will address the health issues,

but. . . will give the complaint through to

law enforcement for possible further action,

also regarding the beehive.Acton says even

this served a sacred purpose. The city has

no scientific rationale for the banning of

bees fromresidential areas.Bees are essenti-

al for a healthy environment and are endan-

gered creatures needing our protection and

respect.
