@andrebakkes

T

he state of houses in Parow Valley is

once again in the spotlight after a read-

er complained about what he reckons

is a problem building.

He is a neighbour of tenants living in a

house in Hofmeyer Street, which he de-

scribes as chaotic.

I dont want to play policeman, but its

quite obvious people are selling drugs there.

There are also serious health hazards on the

property. Ive heard there is a plague of

rats, says the anonymous neighbour.

According to him the broken glass on the

front door has been replaced with boards

and the vibracrete wall in the front has been

decimated over years of neglect.

He is not onlyworried about the effect this

house has on property prices in the vicinity,

but also the noise coming out of the house

day and night and the fact that there isnt

enoughparking for the countless peoplewho

live there.

As a result they have to park on the pave-

ment.

This house isnt the only one causing a

concern for neighbours in the deteriorating

suburb.

TygerBurger recently reported on anoth-

er, this time in Market Street, that has been

the ire of neighbours.

The newspaper has received other calls

fromconcerned residents of yetmorehouses

that authorities should look at after the last

article.

Maycomember for safety and security, JP

Smith, said as ofApril this year 1685 private-

ly owned buildings have been declared as

problem buildings.

On top of this, buildings owned by the City

total 35, government-owned land totals 21

and individual cases thathavebeen resolved

add up to 421 properties.

When asked if therewas an increase in the

number of problem buildings, Smith an-

swered: By comparison, inAugust 2015, the

statistics were as follows: 1669 privately

owned properties, 21 City owned, 46 govern-

ment owned land, 29 Prasa owned and 300

cases closed.

He elaborates: Unfortunately, people of-

ten mistake buildings with problems for

problem buildings. Overgrown vegetation,

unlawful businesses, derelict vehicles on

thepremises, incompletebuildingsand loud

noise do not necessarily make the property

a problem building. Complaints such as

these canbedealtwith byother departments

within the City, such as environmental

health, planning and building development

management and so forth.

Vice Squad rescues woman

The City of Cape Towns Vice Squad rescu-

ed a 24-year-old woman in the Bellville

CBD during an operation on Saturday

18 June.

The woman, originally from Johannes-

burg, told the officers she had been forced

into prostitution after being lured to Cape

Town with the promise of employment.

The young woman has been taken to a

safe house and we have handed the case

over to the Hawks for further investigati-

on. Sadly her story is not unique and is yet

another cautionary tale to young people to

double-check any offers of employment, es-

pecially if they are from another town or

city. They should also make sure their fa-

mily knows their whereabouts at all ti-

mes, says theCitysMaycomember for sa-

fety and security, JP Smith.

The Vice Squad issued 20 spot fines for

solicitation in areas including Bellville

and Eerste River, totalling R23 000. The Li-

quor Enforcement Unit also assisted the

police and theWesternCapeLiquorAutho-

ritys ComplianceUnit inKhayelitsha,Ma-

cassar, Lwandle and Kuils River. They is-

sued 19 spot fines of R39 900 and arrested

a suspect for selling liquor illegally.

GwendolineWallendorf, n inwoner van die George&Annie Starcktehuis in Bellville, het opWoens

dag 15 Junie haar 90ste verjaardag in die Cattle Baronrestaurant in die TygerWaterfront gevier.

Sy is op Mosselbaai gebore en het op Franschhoek opgegroei. N die Tweede Wreldoorlog het

sy 8 jaar op Robbeneiland gewoon toe dit nog n militre basis was. Sy het ses kinders, 19 kleinkin

ders, 19 agterkleinkinders en 4 agteragterkleinkinders. Vriende en familie het van so ver as Phala

borwa, Oudtshoorn, Pretoria en Swellendam gereis om die mylpaal te vier. Van die gaste het ges

dat sy mooier is as die koningin van Engeland, wat ook vanjaar 90 jaar oud is.

Alternatively, if it relates to criminal activ-

ities, the police can investigate. We there-

fore encourage residents to call the Citys

call centre on 0860 103 089 and log a service

request, outlining the situation in detail.

The call centre will then divert the com-

plaint to the relevant department(s), such as

law enforcement, environmental health or

fire and rescue services. Once an initial in-

spection has been done, the department will

determine whether the case should be esca-

lated to the Problem Building Unit.

Once the building has been declared a

problem building, the City will issue a no-

tice onto the owner and, if ignored, someone

who is guilty of an offence in terms of the

relevant bylaw is upon conviction liable to

a finenot exceedingR300 000 or even impris-

onment for a period up to three years.

In addition to any penalty imposed, the

guilty party shall be liable to pay the cost

of repair of any damage caused or costs in-

curred in remedying any damage resulting

from such an offence.

A problembuilding includes any building

or portion of a building that appears to have

been abandoned by the owner, that is dere-

lict in appearance, overcrowded or is show-

ing signs of becoming unhealthy, unsanita-

ry, unsightly or objectionable, that is the

subject of written complaints in respect of

criminal activities, including drug dealings

and prostitution, that is illegally occupied,

where refuse or waste material is accumu-

lated, dumped, stored or deposited with the

exception of licensed waste disposal facili-

ties, or that is partially completed or struc-

turally unsound and is a threat or danger

to the safety of the general public.

ie Grow-opleiding- en ontwikkeling-

sentrum inMeathstraat, Bellville bied

nie net slypskole aan nie, maar is ook

die plek waarheen straatmense gaan om hul

loopbane n nuwe lewe te gee.

S gesels Alda van der Westhuizen, oplei-

ding- en werkplasingskordineerder van

Grow, wat in oorleg met MES werk.

Ons help met werksaansoeke deur mid-

del van gratis internettoegangvan 40minute

per dag. Baie van die straatmense was lank

nie deel van die werkerskorps nie en dan

ontwikkel ons hul CVs om by die werkbe-

skrywing te pas waarvoor hulle aansoek

doen. Ons tik die CV oor en het n onderhoud

met die kandidaat sodat die persoon duide-

likheid het oor watter soort werk of pos hy

voor kan aansoek doen, het sy ges.

Volgens haar doen baie ouens aansoek vir

werk wat glad nie deur haar/sy CV onder-

steun word nie. Sommige werksondervin-

ding word uitgelaat, omdat dit informele

werk was of vir kort tydperke. Alle onder-

vinding is belangrik enmoet in jou CVweer-

spiel word. Ons bemagtig ook mense met

e-pos-adresse en internettoegang. Ons leer

die ouens om die internet te gebruik omdat

diemeeste poste deesdae opdie internet ge-

adverteer word, het sy bygevoeg.

Sodra dieCVopgestel is,worddit aandie

persoon teruggestuur sodat dit elektronies

aanhombeskikbaar is enhyookvanander

plekke as by Grow aansoek kan doen. Hier

kan die persoon gebruik maak van inter-

net by biblioteke of internetkafees.

Wanneer iemand vir ons kom s dat hy

of sy n werkonderhoud het, help ons met

die voorbereiding vir onderhoude.

Ons doen saam navorsing oor die maat-

skappy en indien nodig, sorg ons dat die

applikant geskikte klere en vervoergeld

het. Ons bevestig ook met die maatskappy

of die persoon wel n onderhoud het.

Die meeste ouens gebruik die geleent-

heid om by Grow te werk en is dus in staat

om self hul vervoer na die onderhoud te be-

taal, het Van der Westhuizen ges.

of per epos na [email protected].

Loopbane kry hier n nuwe lewe

Not all potential problem buildings are quite as obvious as this one in Maitland. Some may be

structurally sound and reasonably clean, but may still be declared a problem building. In Parow

Valley there are a growing number of houses that fall between these two extremes.

T

he Greater Tygerberg Partnership

(GTP) will be launching their busi-

ness plan for 2016/17 for Bellville

and Parow at a business breakfast at Niti-

da Wine Farm in Durbanville on Thurs-

day 30 June.

Since the inception of the GTP our big-

gest challenge was engaging with all

stakeholders to create an inclusive regen-

eration process. We are also trying to in-

crease the marketing of the GTP and the

area, says CEO Chris OConnor.

The other big challenge is the crimeand

grime issues which need urgent attention

and a consolidated and coordinated effort

fromall stakeholders in order tomake the

area attractive to investment and devel-

opment.

To realise ourvision to create an inclu-

sive, vibrant and economically prosper-

ous area inwhich to invest, live,workand

play, we have to achieve certain objec-

tives.

We need tomarket the northern urban

area aggressively by interacting with

business, health, education and commu-

nity leaders, as well as the general public.

We need to plan and develop with the

City ofCapeTownavibrant andwell coor-

dinated urban area with emphasis on the

Bellville and Parow nodes, he says.

The entire area covered by the GTP

plans to promote investment by working

closely with other marketing agencies

and institutions. This includes mobilis-

ing City, local and provincial support

from government and business for the so-

cial enhancement and economic growth

plans for the area.

We will achieve this through a strate-

gic approachwhich is aimed at unlocking

opportunity in five steps, says OCon-

nor.

A creative and inclusive strategy will

unlock the significant potential of the ar-

ea. Residents and businesses alike will

share the benefits of quality housing, effi-

cient public transport and recreational

opportunities near to their places of

work.

Successes achieved so far by the GTP

include the launching of ongoing pro-

grammes that have made public spaces

more accessible, safe, and welcoming.

These include Jack Muller Park, Elsi-

eskraal Greenbelt, together with Kerk-

plein, Teddington Road and Kruskal Ave-

nue in Bellville and Parow Station Ar-

cade.

Our Infrastructure and Service Deliv-

ery Programme has succeeded in attract-

ing investors anddevelopers into theBell-

ville and Parow area and our service of-

fering for investors, developers and

property owners has been enthusiastical-

ly received, says OConnor.

Our efforts have led to buildings being

upgraded and re-purposed to accommo-

date the need for increased property den-

sities through mixed use developments

that offer retail premises, affordable rent-

al accommodation and student accommo-

dation.

GTP launches business plan

TheR487million project by the Department

of Transport and Public Works to upgrade

9kmof theN1 between Plattekloof Road and

the Old Oak interchange will disrupt traffic

for the next few weeks.

The project is to be completed in Februa-

ry 2019.

In a statement issued by the department,

every effortwill bemade tominimise traffic

disruption. This part of the freeway carries

about 120 000 vehicles every day. The addi-

tion of a third lane in both directions will

significantly reduce traffic congestion on

one of Cape Towns busiest roads.

Shoulder closures for bridge rehabilita-

tionwork at thePlattekloof intersection,N1

outbound, will be between 08:00 to 15:00 dai-

ly. Lane closures for the installation of a

freeway management system and national

long distance service route between the

Durban Road and Old Oak intersections

will also be closed for the same period.

There will be minor operations on the side

of the road daily between 08:00 and 17:00

Shoulder closures for bridge rehabilita-

tion work at the Plattekloof intersection N1

inbound,will be between 09:00 and 17:00 and

minor operations on the side of the road be-

tween 08:00 and 17:00. At Jip de Jager Road

shoulder closures will occur on both the on

and off ramps.

Blankets of hope for her birthday

Crystal August depends on the community to

help her collect blankets, just like people in

need depend on her to keep them warmer

this winter.

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

O

n 27 June 1990 Francis August was

told there were complications in her

pregnancy and that there was a

chance that her baby girlmight be breached.

The doctors were concerned that either

the baby or Francis life could be in danger,

but Francis was a fighter and pushed

through unabated.

Five hours later Crystal was born.

Now the 25-year-old Crystal is gearing up

for her 26th birthday by continuing the ex-

cellent humanitarian work she has done

over the last four years.

Every birthday she spends five hours of

her time to alleviate the lives of the less for-

tunate, an initiative she calls Birthday of

Hope.

It ismyway of giving back to the commu-

nity. I amayoungwomanaspiring to inspire

future generations of young girls to rise

above their circumstances and achieve

greater heights. Birthday of Hope provides

a platform to encourage young ones and give

themhope for a better tomorrow, she elabo-

rates.

This year the Parow Valley resident will

be distributing blankets to Parow Valley

Welfare, the Greyton Red Cross Society, Ge-

nadendal Old Age Home and Huis Martina

Old Age Home, but she needs everyones

help to get as many blankets as possible.

I have alreadymanaged to get 43 blankets

through a social media drive, but my aim is

to deliver 200 blankets to the beneficiaries,

she explains.

As with her pre-

vious four birth-

days she will again

spend five hours at

an orphanage or an

old age home (or

even both!)

When asked why

she feels the need to

help the less fortu-

nate and when this

realisation oc-

curred, she answers: While I was living in

the CBD I always walked past droves of

homeless people. Some of them even had

children. I realised then and there that I

need to do whatever I can to help people. I

cant solve their problems, but I can lend a

helping hand.

When Crystal talks about the desperate

need of others or how much she depends on

her mother, her pillar of strength, she cries.

Suffice to say she is very committed to her

cause, but aswith all things in life themore

help you can get from others the better.

People can contactme via email or phone

me if they have blankets or any other goods

to donate, she insists, before concluding: I

have learnt to appreciatewhat I have some-

thing that is lacking in the world. To have

a father and a mother who care for you, and

want to provide you with the best possible

childhood, is a blessing. The clich is that

charity begins at home, but this is incom-

plete. Charity begins at home, but shouldnot

stay there!

Gesprekke oor dwelmduiwel

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

S

yohet oopgegaan toehy sy sig ver-

loor het.

Hy was n uitblinker op laerskool,

maar net n skaduwee op horskool.

Dimanvandiewestelike kusstreekwas

aan heroen verslaaf toe hy in n ernstige

motorfietsongeluk betrokke was.

Ek was altyd siek en vol pyne van die

dwelms. Ekmoes toemy ouers alles vertel.

In Januarie 2011 is ek na n kliniek vir

dwelmbehandeling, s die man.

Dit is op tye soos Dwelmbewusmakings-

week van 24 tot 28 Junie dat hy sy eie

en ander se gruwelstories onthou.

Ek het begin branderplankry toe ek 10

was en begin sigarette rook op 13. Op 14 het

ek enmymaats dagga begin rook. Op hor-

skool het ek begin raves bywoon saammet

ouer vriende en kennis gemaak met ander

dwelms soos LSD, buttons, ecstacy, crack en

heroen, vertel hy.

Iemand anders s: Die dwelmprobleem

het by my al hoe erger geword en ek het

alle dwelms probeer. Op 40 het heroen am-

per my lewe gekos toe ek vir dood in die

hospitaal gelos is.

Storie agter verslawing

Daar is n storie agter elke verslawing,

besef die man van die westelike kusstreek.

Toe ek in die vroe sewentigs in die

Kaap komwerk het, het ek nie gedrink nie.

Nou, soveel jare later, kan ek nie eens

meer onthou wanneer of hoekom ek begin

drink het nie of wanneer dit buite beheer

begin raak het nie. Wat ek wel weet, is dat

ek eenMaandagoggend weer half dronk en

siek wakker geword het en besef het dat ek

nie so kon voortgaan nie, s n ander per-

soon.

Ek het begin dwelms gebruik as gevolg

van kleintyd-trauma. Ek was baie sensi-

tief, was vas aan Ma se rokspante en baie

bang vir Pa.

Ekwas ses jaar oud toeMa die huis ver-

laat het en Pa al sy woede op my uitgehaal

het. Pa het my baie rondgeruk en gepluk.

Ek was bang vir alles en my pa het my vir

alles blameer. Ek het begin sigarette en

dagga rookenhet baie gedrink, s dieman

van Namibi.

Almal van hulle is f verwys na n reha-

bilitasiesentrum f het self besluit tot hier

toe en nie verder nie.

Waar hulle eers dwelms misbruik het,

het dwelms hulle nou misbruik.

In die sentrum het almal die woord ver-

slawing beter verstaan.

Ver-slaaf-ing. Hulle het slawe geword.

Hy gaan voort: My ouers het gedink ek

slaap oor byvriende enhet niks geweet van

dwelms nie. Ons het nooit daaroor gepraat

nie.My ouers het altyd geld gegee as ek vra

enekhet somsgeldbyhulle gesteel en soms

goed uit die huis verkoop vir n bietjie ek-

stra geld. Toe ek op 17 verslaaf geword het

aan heroen, het ek baie gewig verloor. Op

18 het ek 46 kg geweeg.

My ouers het iets begin vermoed, maar

ek het ges dit is van akademiese spanning

dat ek nie kan eet nie. Hulle het gedink dit

is gewone adolessente probleme. Ek dink

hulle was te skaam en bang om te dink dat

hul kind dwelms gebruik.

Hy het later vir vier maande opgehou en

baie goed gedoen. Hy het n motorfiets ge-

kry en het lang ente gery as hy niks ge-

had het om te doen

nie.

Was verveeld

Maar toe een Son-

dag ...

Ek was verveeld

en sonder om te

dinkhet ekweer he-

roen gaan koop en

gerook. Tot vandag

toe kan ek dit nie

verstaan nie, want

ek wou regtig nie terugkeer na die ou le-

wenswyse nie. Ek was toe in n motorfiets-

ongeluk en my gesig was vermink en ek

was blind. Dit was n aaklige tyd vol pyn

en selfverwyt. Ek het geglo God straf my

oor my dwelmgebruik.

Die versoeking is altyd daar om terug

te val in die greep van dwelms, s hy.

n Ander een s: As ek in die strate in

Ravensmead stap en ek ruik die dagga-

walms, dan sper my niesgatte oepe soes n

pd sn. Dan knyp ek my neus toe en stap

weg. Die lus duur net n minuut of twee en

dangaanditweg.Ekdinknet aandie string

negatiewe gevolge wat wag as ek weer

dwelms of alkohol gebruik.

Die man wat in die vroe sewentigs

Kaapstad toe gekomhet, en bevryding in

alkohol gevind het, voeg by: Vandag is dit

nie virmybelangrikomdaardie jare te ont-

hou nie. Daar is niks wat ek daaraan kan

verandernie enekkandit nie terugkrynie.

Wat nou vir my onmeetbaar belangrik

is, is dat ek vanoggend nugter wakker ge-

word het en dat ek hopelik vanaand nugter

sal gaan slaap. N meer as 16 jaar leef ek

nog steeds een dag op n slag en ekweet dat

my nugterheid met

een onbesonne daad

van my weggeneem

kan word.

Ek het nie plan-

ne om nugter te bly

nie,maar slegs hier-

die een wete: dat ek

nooit weer wil

drink nie, dat ek nie

hierdie nuwe ek

weer in drank gaan

verdrink nie. My

nugter lewe is te kosbaar om weg te gooi.

Voordat jy wegbreek van die dwelm-

greep kan aaklige ervarings jou elke nou

en dan nugter laat skrik, soos die man ver-

tel met die pa wat hommishandel het: Ek

was op dwelms en het by n prostituut ge-

kuier. Tien jaar gelede het ek vir n agent-

skap in Seepunt gewerk, wat toe een aand

beroof is.

My hande was vasgebind terwyl die ro-

wers twee kollegas se kele afgesny het. Ek

het n hek uit sy skarniere gehardloop. La-

ter het ek angsaanvalle begin kry en het

probeer om vigs te kry sodat ek kon dood-

gaan. Ek het twee jaar op straat gebly.

Maar elkeen van die bogenoemde mense

is gerehabiliteer, en kan vir nou met n

bre bors hul storie uitbasuin.

Die man van die westelike kusstreek

sluit af: Hoewel ek julle nie kan sien nie,

kan ek praat en hoor en die boodskap van

verlossing verkondig. Jongmense moet

baie versigtig wees vir dagga, want dit is

waar my probleme begin het.

Van my ou vriende is twee van dwelms

dood en n derde is in die tronk. Ek is blind,

maar ek lewe en ek is vry.

Hulle het gedink dit

is gewone adoles

sente probleme. Ek

dink hullewas te

skaamenbang om

tedink dat hul kind

dwelmsgebruik.

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

A

28-year-old Nigerian man who was

granted asylum in South Africa, was

arrested in Parow last week for deal-

ing in drugs.

According to local police spokesperson

CaptainKevinWilliams, the foreignnation-

als asylum documents expired in 2015.

Metro Police were on crime prevention

duties when they received anonymous in-

formation about drugs being sold from

someones room, elaborates Williams.

The police officials responded immedi-

ately to the building where the alleged ille-

gal activitieswere taking place. Upon arriv-

al the police officials went to the second

floor to a certain room.

The door was apparently already open

when the officers walked in and identified

themselves to the suspect asMetro police of-

ficers.

Theynoticed several packets of dagga and

tik lying scattered on the table and proceed-

ed to search the premises.

The officers found 148 packets of dagga,

three bank bags with dagga, seven packets

of tik, three scales and cash to the value of

R1453. They also found the expired asylum

documents.

The chairperson of the Parow Communi-

ty Policing Forum (CPF), Roger Cannon,

says it ismore often thannot foreignnation-

als who sell drugs in Parow.

The police are doing everything they

can, but they facemany difficulties, such as

the fact that the suspect needs to be found

to be in possession of the drugs. Secondly,

as soon as they arrest someone, another

takes that dealers place. Yet another obsta-

cle is that the police arrest someone and

then they are released on bail the next day.

Captain Williams thanked the communi-

ty: We at Parow police extend our appreci-

ation towards the community members for

the positive information that resulted in the

arrest, concludes Williams.

house of a man suspected of drug dealing.

Do you know of an elderly person who is

making a profound difference in the commu-

nity?

Then why not nominate them for a Com-

munity Champions Elders Award.

They may be feeding the hungry children

in your street or knitting jerseys, blankets

or teddies for babies in hospitals.

They may also be running a soup kitchen

for the homeless or even provide free lift

clubs for their peers on pension or social

grant payout days or their weekly shopping

trips.

TygerBurger and Specsavers are looking

to honour these elderly gems who, despite

their age, are still going out of their way to

make a difference in the lives of others and

continue to service their community. Elder-

ly citizens from anywhere in the Cape who

aremaking a difference in the lives of others

can be nominated in two categories, ages 70-

80 and 80 plus.

Nominations for the awards close on

Wednesday 20 July.

A panel of judges consisting of representa-

tives fromSpecSavers, SACare Forum,Tyg-

erBurger and its sister publications,Peoples

Post and City Vision, will select three final-

ists in each of the two categories. The final-

ists will be notified by Monday 15 August.

They will later be featured in TygerBur-

ger, Peoples Post and City Vision.

The first TygerBurger SpecSavers Com-

munity Champions Elders Award function

is set to take place on International Older

Persons Day on Saturday 1 October in the

form of a high tea. Wonderful prizes will be

awarded to show the appreciation and affir-

mation to the three finalists in each category

and the people who nominated the winners.

n Ope brief

aan ons

Bokafrigter

Beste Allister

Dalk is dit die Franse wyn en die

smaaklike Europese cuisine wat veroor-

saak dat jou ingevoerde Springbokke so

bietjie oorgewig en lusteloos op die

speelveld lyk.

Of dalk is die aanpassing van die

swaar, nat velde in Europa na die harde,

vinnige velde van Suid-Afrika te moeilik

om in n kort tydjie te maak.

Maar iets veroorsaak dat die Vermeu-

lens en Louws van die lewe net n

skaduwee van hulself was in die eerste

twee toetse teen die Iere. So bietjie

loodvoetig en lomp, n?

Om daardie rede wil ek jou aanraai om

maar te hou by die Suid-Afrikaners wat

hul brood op eie bodem verdien.

En plaaslike spelers, Allister, wat op

huidige spelpeil hul plek in die span

verdien.

Ons praat nie hier van die regte

kleursamestelling van die span nie. Ons

praat ook nie hier

van ervaring nie.

My beroep op jou

is juis om te

vergeet van erva-

ring en prestasies

uit die verre

verlede. Frik du

Preez en Naas

Botha gaan byvoor-

beeld nie nou die

oplossing wees nie.

Ook nie Victor of

Jean nie.

Kies die ouens

wat vanjaar

uitgeblink het in

die superrugby-kompetisie. Manne soos

Ruan Combrinck, Warren Whiteley en

Jaco Kriel. Kyk net watter reuse-verskil

Ruan en Warren al klaar gemaak het.

Daars ander spelers ook. Maar ek wil

nou nie t voorskriftelik klink nie, want

jy sal dalk s dis maklik om van die

kantlyn af raad te gee.

En dit is seker, maar tog wil ek my

beskeie mening uitspreek en jou vra om

jou spanne met die oog op die toekoms te

kies. Oor vier jaar wil jy n ervare span

na die Wreldbekertoernooi neem, nie n

ouetehuis (soos jy weet wie) nie.

Gee hierdie opkomende sterre die

geleentheid om ervaring op te doen al

verloor jy aanvanklik n paar toetse en al

s die ondersteuners en media ook wat.

Maar teen die volgende Wreldbeker-

toernooi gaan jy die laaste lag. Want dan

gaan jy n span vol jong, hardebaarde

saamvat, wat die stampe en stote van

toetsrugby ken en onder die knie het.

Dis die enigste manier om te roll,

Allister! Trust me on this one!

gebruik weens vrees vir viktimisasie).

The other day it was reported

that 300 members of one party

in the Western Cape jumped

ship to join the opposition.

This tells me one of two

things:

They all suddenly had an

epiphany about the bad

policies of the previous party,

or they were promised some-

thing.

Now this is nothing new and

it is perceived to work to the

benefit of the party gaining the

new members. It does not.

It does however, unfortunate-

ly, just show how shallow

some people are when it comes

to election time as they are

serving themselves and not the

communities they supposedly

represent. As soon as a better

offer comes along, they will

jump again.

There is one description for

actions like this, and its called

political whoring.

It is indeed encouraging and

comforting that Eskom is

training its personnel suitably

to operate its nuclear power

station, before it blows up and

takes all of Cape Town with it

(Scarce nuclear skills har-

nessed, TB Table View, 15

June). However, what Eskom

also needs to tell us and

prove to the public is that it

has the necessary plan and the

money in reserve to clean up

the mess that is left behind

once a nuclear power station is

decommissioned. This part of

the equation nobody talks

about all one hears is that

nuclear power is cheap, but the

fact that the costs associated

with the clean-up after decom-

missioning run into billions, is

swept under the carpet.

I have the same problem as

Despite my responding to the

still receive the SMSes.

I take it as a joke and do not

waste my time in contacting

them as it falls on deaf ears. I

put it down to poor administra-

nuclear power stations, and it

has been found that the cost of

making it safe for other

occupation, is currently

something in the region of

R80 billion per station!

It could be argued that

another such power station

near St Francis / Oyster Bay is

not such a bad location, as it

can be shut off from public

access after decommissioning

for decades, but the same

cannot be said about Koeberg.

This one is being surrounded

more and more by residential

suburbs, ignorant of the associ-

ated dangers of nuclear radia-

tion, which can easily happen

by accident and by which

time its too late. To even

consider building another one

nearby, or anywhere within

50km of Cape Towns boundary,

is just plain stupid and irre-

sponsible. Any new nuclear

power station should be built, if

at all, as far from human

habitation as possible some-

thing we are certainly not short

of in this country.

Its high time we stop being

starry-eyed about nuclear

power. It might be cheap, but it

certainly is anything but cheap

to build, if properly done, and

far from cheap to clean up the

site after use, never mind all

the safe waste disposal costs

over the years. A big shroud

hangs over much of the issues

associated with nuclear power,

and the public is being kept

ignorant on purpose.

@dezzierorke

W

hat some called a shock-tactic ad-

vertisement campaign, improved

the overall seatbelt compliance in

Cape Town by an astonishing 27%.

The northern suburbs measured the

highest compliance rate with 72% of all ve-

hicle occupants wearing a seatbelt.

Snap surveys were done before the

launch of the campaign inMarch and again

on Tuesday 3 May, six weeks into the cam-

paign.

In the northern suburbs the surveys took

place on the corner of Voortrekker and De

La Ray Roads in Bellville, during two time

slots in peak-time morning and afternoon

traffic, with 303 vehicles observed.

According to the results that were re-

leased by the Department of Transport and

Public Works last week, 72% of all the vehi-

cle occupants were wearing seatbelts in the

second survey, compared to the 51%compli-

ance rate of the pre-campaign survey.

In the CBD post-campaign compliance

was measured at 66% 10% higher, in

Mitchells Plain 42% 16% higher, and in

Khayelitsha it remained 30%.

The First Kiss campaign was released

inMarch this year, with a hard-hitting tele-

vision commercial at the core of it. The com-

mercial, whichwas the subject of heated de-

bate levelled at its graphic portrayal, shows

the consequences of not buckling up.

Donald Grant, minister of transport and

public works in theWestern Cape, was elat-

ed with these results, saying the result of

the campaigns impact was successful.

International best practice and in-depth

research into local audience perceptions

drove the development and production of

the ad, with an impact assessment compo-

nent built into the project. The assessment

of the campaigns impact has proven that

the scientific, evidence driven methodolo-

gies employed to create First Kiss really

worked, he says.

According to Grant these improvements

were driven mainly by behaviour change

in Belville, the CBD and Mitchells Plain,

with less impact recorded in Khayelitsha,

despite a concentration of outdoor advertis-

ing supporting the commercial in the area.

This aspect of the campaign has been ex-

tremely influential in howwe design the re-

search into our next TV advertising cam-

paign, which is centred on our #BoozeFre-

eRoads theme forNovember, December and

January. It is also driving the development

of a new activation of First Kiss for Sep-

tembers #AlwaysBuckleUp theme, he

says.

We will also be analysing fatalities and

injury data as these become available to

track this impact. So far the data is extreme-

ly promising, as passenger fatalitynumbers

from May 2016 (20) were 30% below passen-

ger fatalities numbers for both May 2014

andMay 2015 (both 26), although the depart-

ment cautions against drawing conclusions

regarding this aspect of the campaign im-

pact. Muchmore data will need to be accu-

mulated and analysed, he concludes.

While TV and cinema airings have now

wrapped up, First Kiss continues online,

with ongoing billboard support.

line, can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/

runk drivers beware!

After an absence of five years,

the Drger breathalyser will be

backonour roads as ofMonday 1August.

TheDepartment of Transport and Pub-

lic Works in the Western Cape has been

given the green light to reintroduce so-

called Evidentiary Breath Alcohol Test-

ing (EBAT), commonly referred to as

the Drger, after the National Prose-

cuting Authority (NPA) confirmed that

the reintroduction can take place and is

to be piloted in the Western Cape.

EBAT uses a machine which can read

the amount of alcohol on someones

breath. It is called evidentiary as the

reading can be produced as evidence to

prosecute people accused of drinking

and driving.

Thismachine, the peoplewhooperate

it, and the location it operates in, must

all pass a very specific and demanding

set of tests in order to be used to prose-

cute suspects, says Donald Grant, pro-

vincial minister of transport and public

works.

Thrown out in 2011

The reintroduction of EBAT is the cul-

mination of years of dedicated work by

the Department of Transport and Public

Works and Safely Home, following the

State v Hendricks judgement in 2011,

which saw the Drger breathalyser be-

ing withdrawn from use.

In the case, the judge found that there

were problems in some of the ways in

which the Drger device was used, lead-

ing to the acquittal of the accused who

had been charged with driving with a

breath alcohol level higher than the legal

limit (of 0,05g per 100ml), says Grant.

More importantly, however, is that the

judge also found that breathalysers are

a reliable means of testing for alcohol in

a suspect, and that they should be used

as a tool to eradicate the scourge of

drunk driving for the betterment of soci-

ety.

Using the judgement as a guiding

tool, the Department of Transport and

Public Works then created a task team

to work through and correct all of the

problems which the court had identi-

fied, says Grant.

Ready for full rollout

The task team included experts from

the NPA, the national Department of

Transport, the South African Bureau of

Standards, the Western Cape Provincial

Traffic Services and the Gene Louw

Traffic College in Brackenfell

The task teamhas completed its work

and is ready for the full roll-out of EBAT

across the province. We are confident

that the reintroduction of EBATwill add

yet another weapon in our arsenal to rid

our roads of dangerous drunk drivers.

I am confident that the reintroduc-

tion of EBAT will see offenders receive

swift justice, thereby deterring others

from engaging in such life-threatening

behaviour, and refraining from getting

behind the wheel of a car after consum-

ing alcohol.

Dreaded Drger

gets green light

The City of Cape Town is preparing to track

down and prosecute callers who abuse its 107

Public Emergency Communication Centre

number.

Of the 532 682 calls answered by emergency

operators in 2015, 102 217 or 20% were prank

calls. A look at themonthly statistics reveals

an average of just over 8500 prank calls a

month, with spikes experienced in January,

April and August.

The calls range from emergency hoaxes

to the vilest verbal abuse, but also, more dis-

turbingly, calls of a very perverse nature. It

is unacceptable that our operators, who are

there to do a very serious job, have to endure

this type of abuse with no recourse except to

cut the call, says the Citys Mayco member

for safety and security, JP Smith.

Our system allows us to pick up exactly

where the call is coming from. I have in-

structed the Citys Special Investigations

Unit to extract information on the top 10 ha-

bitual offenders and lay charges in terms of

national legislation that makes such prank

and hoax calls to an emergency call centre

an offence. A fewwell-publicised convictions

will serve as a good deterrent if we can get

them, adds Smith.

A

pplication for special votes during

the upcoming local elections

opened on Friday 10 June and clos-

es on Friday 8 July.

It is important to apply early for this

voting right, should you not be able to

vote on election day onWednesday 3 Au-

gust, says ward councillor Marian Ni-

euwoudt.

There are es-

sentially two

types of special

votes firstly

Type 1, were a

voter goes to their

local voting dis-

trict to cast their

vote on Monday 1

or Tuesday 2 Au-

gust, and second-

lywhere thevoter

receives a home

visit from the Independent Electoral

Commission (IEC) to cast their vote.

A Type 1 special vote can be applied

for by any registered voter who forwhat-

ever reason be it travel, business, or

work will not be able to vote onWednes-

day 3 August. They will be able to apply

for a special vote and if successful, will

be able to cast their vote at the polling

station at which they are registered to

vote, on the special voting days prior to

the election, she explains.

Application for this type of special vote

can be done in three ways: an SMS to

32249, an online submission atwww.elec-

tions .org.za, or a submission of form

MEC35 at the IEC office in Bellville or

elsewhere.

A Type 2 special vote is only for the

sick and housebound. In this instance, a

voter would apply for an IEC official to

visit them at their home on special vot-

ing days because they are notmobile and

or too sick to vote on election day. People

requiring a home visit must reside and

be visited in the voting district in which

they are registered to vote, she says.

Application for a home visit must be

done using the

MEC35 form either in

hard copy and sub-

mitt
