TYGERBERG: HAVEN PLANS PROGRESS

Homeless safe soonHomeless safe soon

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

A

proposal to see vagrants across the

broader Tygerberg area concentrated

into one safe haven,will come into fru-

ition before the onset of winter.

So says local ward councillor Ruan Ben-

eke, who is at the helm of a project called

Safe Spaces, with which he and local social

development partners hope to bring digni-

fied relief to the often unwelcome vagrants

of the northern suburbs.

Having the constitutional right to roam

freely, vagrants are often at the receiving

end from their roofedneighbours, because

of criminals lurking in theirmidst and caus-

ing havoc in their surrounds.

As if to emphasise the need for such an al-

ternative for street people, a group of at least

72 vagrants were evicted from their tempo-

rary safe sleeping space in front of the Bell-

ville police station last Saturday on the or-

ders of a visiting police general. This came

after they were given the right to sleep there

by the local police commander.

The Safe Spaces idea was first introduced

in December of 2014. A Joint Operations

Committee (JOC) comprised of role players

to dealwith the street people issue, has since

been established and mandated to coordi-

nate all joint efforts regarding street people

in the northern suburbs especially Bell-

ville and Parow, but also Goodwood, Dur-

banville, Kenridge and surrounding areas.

Beneke and the social development arm of

the local city improvement district of Bell-

ville andParow, theVRCID, aswell as a local

Bellville charitable organisation, the Metro

Evangelical Services (MES), are steering the

Safe Spaces project. MES officially applied

to create Safe Spaces in July 2015.

Getting the Safe Spaces proposal before

subcouncil has been riddled with delays, in-

cluding a hold-up with advertising, followed

by a rezoning issue, then a problemwith the

fact that the proposal was not tabled in three

official languages.

Beneke is adamant that all these problems

would be ironed out by the winter of 2016.

It is important to note that the first applica-

tion for a safe space was made by MES for

AJ West Street in July 2015.

The Tygerberg PropertyManagement of-

fice which serves the areas of subcouncils

1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 and portions of subcouncils

2, 5 and 15 went throughvery trying times,

he said.

Beneke added the report to be presented

to subcouncil has been drafted and will

serve on the agenda of 14 March.

This leaves us three and a half months

of the financial year to do some upgrades to

the building (proposed to be at the old Scouts

building in AJ West Street, behind Bellville

Library). We should have the building oper-

ating well before the coldest winter

months.

TheCitysMaycomember for social devel-

opment and early childhood development,

Suzette Little, said they would support this.

N

die oprigting van heinings rondom

van Bellville se voormalige vrotkol-

parkeerterreine, het die aantal mo-

tordiefstalle en voorvalle van diefstal uit

motors glo met tot 90% gedaal.

Dt is die statistieke wat aangehaal is by

n onlangse voorlegging wat deur Derek

Bock, die operasionele hoof van die Bellvil-

lese stadsverbeteringsdistrik (VRCID), aan-

gebied is. Bock het di voorlegging oor die

voordele van omheinde parkeerterreine en

meegaande betaalde parkeerwagte aan n

groep gedoen wat dit oorweeg om n stads-

verbeteringsdistrik inMilnerton enMonta-

gue Gardens op die been te bring.

Bock s die omheinde parkeergebiede, te-

same met die wagte wat dit beman, het tot

die groot misdaadafname gelei.

Die stelsel is egter nie sonder sy groeipy-

ne nie, s Bock. Ons is bewus daarvan dat

mense nie vir parkering wil betaal nie, so

nou parkeer hulle buite ons parkeerterrei-

ne in die systrate waar hulle nie hoef te

betaal nie. Ons kan egter bevestig dat die

misdadigers wat die parkeerterreine getei-

ken het, nou k na di systrate beweeg het

al agter die motors aan, s Bock.

Mensewat vandimetode gebruikmaak

om parkeerfooie te ontduik, moet egter ver-

sigtig wees, want dit is die plan van die

VRCID en die Stad se verkeersafdeling om

binnekort sterk op die onwettige parkering

te konsentreer. Bock s die meeste van die

straatslapers wat eers die parkeerterreine

n tuiste genoemhet, is f opgekommandeer

en opgelei as betaalde, aangestelde parkeer-

wagte, f hulle is deel van een van die

VRCID se maatskaplike programme.

Ons het onderhoude gevoer met elke

straatbewoner en sal binnekort die syfers

bekend maak oor hoeveel aangestel is, hoe-

veel nog uithou en hoeveel uit ons program

is, s Bock. Hulle slaap egter nie meer in

die parkeerterreine nie en party het aanbe-

weeg na ander areas, omdat hulle nie ons

hulp wou aanvaar nie.

Gevra oor die drastiese afname in mis-

daad in di gekonsentreerde gebiede, het

die Bellville-polisie by monde van maj. Fie-

nie Nimb die gegewens bevestig. Dit is wel

n gegewe dat die heinings gehelp het met

die bekamping van misdaad, s sy.

Veral by die parkeerarea in die Bellville-

middestad by Paint City. Daar was n groot

probleem met diefstal van motorvoertuie.

Vandat dieheiningomdieparkeergebied is,

het dit drasties afgeneem, s sy.

Omdat daar streng toegangsbeheer uit-

geoefen word, help dit ook om misdadigers

buite te hou.

Heinings enwagtewrk

FROM PAGE 1

The Cityworks very closelywith non-prof-

it organisations that provide the same bas-

ket of services outlined in our mandate, in-

cluding interventions for street people. We

would thus be more than willing to engage

the organisation on its objectives and see

how we can create partnerships that will

benefit street people in this area once the

centre is up and running, she told Tyger-

Burger.

Bellville police also strongly support this

initiative.

This would definitely bring some sort of

relief concerning the street people issue.

The sooner the building is operational, the

better, saidMajor FienieNimb, spokesper-

son of this police station.

In their draft report, the JOC touted the

proposed safe space as a spacewheredigni-

ty is restored, positive values are nurtured,

human potential is developed and hope is

possible ...

In practical terms, the space will mean

that the insufficient space available at night

shelters and street peoples ability to pay for

these services will be addressed.

Another challenge to be tackled is the

lack of safe ablution services for the chron-

ic homeless person who is not interested in

a shelter accommodation, but who needs

protection from the criminal elements, as

well as daytime job seekers.

The Safe Spaces building will also mean

a central point fromwhichmeals, blankets,

clothing and toiletries canbe distributed re-

sponsibly, and fromwhere street people can

access crisis intervention, primary health

care and developmental services, according

to the JOC statement.

It will also mean a safe haven where day-

time street people can participate in work-

shops and other activities.

T

he record set by 415kitesurfers inCape

Town on Saturday 30 January has

been approved as an official Guinness

World Record.

According to a statement, the day was

greeted with perfect conditions for a world

record attempt, with just a light breeze in

themorning as hundreds of kitesurfers reg-

istered at the Dolphin Beach Hotel and con-

tinued onto the beach to set up for the start.

The wind picked up in the afternoon and

there was already a buzz as news broke that

the total number of entries surpassed

Spains record, giving early confidence that

the record could indeed be broken.

The record is judged on a one-mile course

that was marked out between Dolphin

Beach and Doodles along the Table View

stretch of coastline.

The wind strengthened at the perfect mo-

ment for the forecasted start time of 13:00,

and Lewis Crathern (UK), professional kite-

surfer and ambassador for the Kitesurfing

Armada, sounded the air horn for the offi-

cial start of the attempt.

The sky was quickly filled with colour as

kites were launched into the air and surfers

made their way onto the course.

After a three-hour period, 415 kitesurfers

had successfully completed the course and

had been counted in by witnesses at the fin-

ish line enough tomake an announcement

that Cape Town had broken the record, sub-

ject to verification by Guinness.

Sir Richard Branson, a keen kitesurfer

and supporter of the event, was one of the

first to congratulate everyone involved,

saying: Huge congratulations to everyone

who took part in the Virgin Kitesurfing Ar-

mada and achieved the Guinness World

Record. I have participated in the event in

previous years and experienced first-hand

the thrill of getting out there. Its a fantastic

result and thousands have been raised for

charity. Theres nothing better than doing

good and having fun at the same time.

n

Vrou van Parow het nou al begin

vloek, omdat sy nie meer weet wat

om te doen met die le huis langs

haar nie.

Bettie Burger woon reeds 35 jaar lank in

Mosselstraat 54 in Parow en alleswas rustig

tot laat verlede jaar.

Die huis aangrensend aanmyne behoort

aandiedepartementvanopenbarewerke en

die laaste klompie jare het lede van die poli-

sie dit bewoon. Einde verlede jaar het die

laaste polisieman gewaai en dit is waar my

probleme begin het, s Burger.

N die polisielid uit is, het vandale begin

omdie le huis te stroop. nMens kanmaar

s dit is net die raamwerk van die huis wat

nog staan, want alles is al uitgedra. Ven-

sters, pype en alles anders is verwyder.

Saans, en soms deur die dag, kan n mens

n gekappery hoor soos die vandale die huis

stukkie vir stukkie wegdra, s Burger.

Besoekers aan die huis het egter nie net

daar aangedoen nie, maar kort voor lank

ook Burger se huis besoek. In Januarie het

ek een aand bed toe gegaan en so teen 03:30

het ek wakker geword en besef my selfoon

is langsmy bed gesteel. In Februarie hetmy

manwakker gewordmet iemand wat in ons

kamer staan. As hy nie geraas het nie, weet

ek nie wat die inbreker sou gedoen het nie.

Eks seker dit is van die tikkoppe wat in

die huis slaap wat hier ingebreek het, want

hulle hardloop in die rigting van daai huis

wanneer hulle gejaag word, s Burger.

Een van die tikkoppe het al so ver ge-

gaan om homself aan Burger se agtjarige

kleindogter te ontbloot.

Ons het al die polisie gebel, maar hulle

s net die huis behoort nie aan hulle nie.

Aan die begin het die polisie nog uitgekom

wanneer ons bel, maar die laaste ruk sien

en hoor ons niks meer van hulle nie. Toe ek

die een aand bel, hoor ek die ou aan die an-

der kant s vir sy kollega Dis weer daai

bleddie vrou wat bel, s Burger veront-

waardig.

Lt. Kevin Williams, polisiewoordvoerder

van Parow, kon nie by navraag onmiddellik

bevestig of die huis steeds vir polisieverblyf

gebruik word nie.

Fred Johnson, streekbestuurder van

openbarewerke, het nie op die talle oproepe

van TygerBurger gereageer nie.

D

ie grootste reeksverkragter in die ge-

skiedenis van die Wes-Kaap oor wie

TygerBurger verlede week berig het,

het ni die modus operandi gevolg waaroor

daar berig is nie. (Dis grootste saak nog

oor verkragting, TygerBurger 17 Februa-

rie.)

Die Bellville-polisie het n misverstand

uitgeklaar rondom die inligting wat gepu-

bliseer is,waarindaar berig is hoe tweevan

die slagoffers afsonderlik in n minibus-

taxi deur die bestuurder en sy wag beroof

sou gewees het en uit die taxi gegooi sou

gewees het.

Maj. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van di

polisiekantoor, verduidelik dat die ver-

meende reeksverkragter eintlik nmanvan

Gugulethu is wat sy skrikbewind sedert

Maart 2015 gevoer het en vroue van Bellvil-

le en Parow wat werk gesoek het, geteiken

het.

Di man het op 20 Januarie in die G-hof

van die Bellvillese landdroshof verskyn,

soos berig is. S ook is dit n feit dat die

saak, wat eers deur n taakspan van die

Bellvillese eenheid van gesinsgeweld, kin-

dermishandeling en seksmisdrywe (FCS)

opgevolg is, intussen aan n provinsiale

FCS-taakspan oorhandig is. TygerBurger

het ook berig dat die veelvuldige verkrag-

ting- en roofaanklagte teen die beskuldigde

weer op 7 April in die Wes-Kaapse hoogge-

regshof aangehoor sal word, en aangesien

die beskuldigde nog nie gepleit het nie, sy

identiteit nog beskerm moet word.

Nimb vertel hoe di man eintlik te werk

gegaan het om sy slagoffers te lok met die

moontlikheid van werk by n fiktiewe be-

grafnisondernemer.

Dimanwas nwelgeklede, welspreken-

de man wat vroue sou nader en vra of hulle

werk soek.Hy soudanvra dat hul saammet

hom moet loop tot by n fiktiewe werkplek

waar hy vir hulle werk sou kon verskaf,

vertel sy.

Die meeste van die 13 verkragtings het

dieselfde patroon gevolg: die man sou met

sy slagoffers na die nywerheidsgebied naby

die spoorlyn loop tot voor n onderneming.

Hy sou dan vir die vroue s dat dit die

plek is waar hulle die volgende dag vir

diens moes aanmeld. Hier sou hy dan n

mes of vuurwapen op hulle rig, die vroue

in die bosse dwing en hulle dan daar ver-

krag en beroof. Hul is gewoonlik van selfo-

ne, beursies en juweliersware beroof, s

Nimb.

n Spesiale taakspan is toe gestig om di

man vas te trek.

O

n Monday morning seven robust cy-

clists took to the road in Brackenfell

to end inOudtshoorn nextweek after

a gruelling 470km journey.

Joining the cyclists from the Mountain

ViewCycling Club fromGoodwood Correc-

tional Services is Jody Adams, a young

man with Down Syndrome.

Their mission: to raise money for the

cause and celebrate 40 years of awareness

of this condition in the Western Cape.

The Down Syndrome Association West-

ern Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to

provide support and services to peoplewith

Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-

tellectual disabilities, and their families.

Our programmes are aimed at improv-

ing their quality of life inorder tohelp them

find their purpose in life. We want people

with DS to develop to their full potential to

take their rightful place in society as inde-

pendent and valued citizens, says organi-

sation spokesperson Liza Rossouw.

For the past 16 years DSAWC has been

the beneficiary of the money raised by the

Mountain View Cycling Club on their an-

nual cycle tour to Oudtshoorn.

The group of 10, which includes support

staff, will stop at various towns along the

route to create awareness for DS. An aspir-

ing singer in his own right, Jody will be

singing at some of the schools they visit.

This year is a very special year for

DSAWC as we are celebrating our 40th

birthday. The cycle tour will be the first of

many events during the year. We want to

thank all the schools, businesses and indi-

vidualswhohaveparticipatedover thepast

16 years. Without your support the success

of this annual cycle tourwouldnot be possi-

ble. And of course we also want to thank

the Mountain View Cycle Club for their

commitment and continuous support with

this annual event.

Rossouw invites the public to participate

and join in the 40-year celebrations

throughout this year.

A small financial contribution has a

huge impact on our work.

S s lt. Kevin Williams, woordvoerder

van die Parow-polisie. Die misdaad waar-

mee ons die meeste in Parow sukkel is

huisbraak, roof en diefstal uit motorvoer-

tuie. Die meeste van die misdadigers kom

uit die omliggende dorpe en die misdaad

wat hulle pleeg, is meestal opportunisties

gesteelde goedere te koop, doen die polisie

gereeld visenterinsoperasies in die sake-

kern. Onsmaak seker dat alles wat in die

winkels is, op die databasis aangeteken is

met die nodige identiteitsnommer van die

persoon wat dit verkoop het.

Mense moet ook nie vermoedelik ge-

steelde goedere vanbekende dwelmgebrui-

kers koop nie.

Die diefstal uit motorvoertuie vind

meestal in die omgewing van die Parow-

sentrum plaas. Ons is nou besig om saam

met die sentrum aan n plan te werk om se-

ker te maak motors wat by die sentrum

parkeer is, is veilig. Dit ismeestal ouermo-

Earth enthusiast

cycles for trees

A

n avid nature conservationist and

Miss Earth South Africa ambassador

Andrea von Gunten, originally from

Durbanville, is planning to cycle 109km in

the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour to col-

lect one tree per kilometre covered.

Andrea, who attended primary and high

school in Durbanville, but now lives in Ke-

nilworth, challenges cyclists and support-

ers to donate or sponsor a tree for this im-

portant cause.

This will be my third Argus that Im

riding and I thought instead of just riding

it, why not ride it for a cause, she says.

All the trees will be planted at schools in

underprivileged communities, community

centres, old age homes or any place in the

Western Cape that needs greening and up-

liftment.

This project is about bringing communi-

ties and people together and I want to be an

example that you can take any ordinary

event and turn it into something extraordi-

nary. Small initiatives like this can turn in-

to something great and thats what I hope

to achieve with this, she says.

She will be cycling with her father, Peter

von Gunten, and her sister, Melanie. My

dad has always been my inspiration as this

is his 15th Cape Town Cycle Tour. He is the

reason my sister and I are cycling today.

Only indigenous trees such asWildOlive,

Grevias, Virgilia Oroboides and fruit trees

will be suitable. Suggestions of schools or

organisations that are in need of greening

are also welcome.

collected

campaign of

compassion,

Tears2Water.

Hannah holds high

O

Anyone can learn a thing or two about so-

cial responsibility from the seven-year-old

Hannah Joubert of Eversdal Primary.

Hannahs mother, Angela, says her

daughter was listening to the news on the

way to schoolwhen they heard that animals

and people were dying of thirst.

Hannah turned to look at Angela with a

horrified look on her face and said: We

have to help, Mommy! Angela says.

It was in that moment that Hannahs wa-

ter project, Tear2Water, was born.

Her idea was to start by requesting each

child in her school to bring a sealed bottle

of water on a specific day, and thereafter to

move on to the next school.

Angela says the Pick n Pay supermarket

in the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre was

willing to collect any water at the school.

Eversdal principal Henk Arangies gave

the go-ahead that the learners could leave

sealed bottles of water in front of the school

hall between 07:00 and 11:30 on Tuesday 16

February.

The Petals Express couriers in Parow

sponsored peak caps with Hannahs project

name printed on it, and they offered extra

trucks to remain on standby.

TheTears2Water projectwas truly bless-

ed, Angela adds. On 16 February the five-

litre bottles were stacked up all over in the

front of the school. The kindness of the par-

ents was overwhelming and the excitement

of the children infectious, but when the

Spar truck pulled in and started off-loading

water, the tears piled up, she said.

This was followed by another donation

delivered per truck this time by Barlow

World. Not long after, the Aquilla Water

truck pulled up to also off-load a very gener-

ouswater contribution all for the little sev-

en-year-old with the big heart, the proud

mom says.

As if to top off such awonderful day,Glen-

garry Shopping Centres Pick n Pay deliv-

ered a truck load of Easter eggs one for

each child in the school.

Angela calls this the perfect wrap-up.

Through her efforts, the little girl and all

the people and companies who helped her,

managed to gather 5 200 litres of water.

Thiswill be deliveredbyPicknPayTyger

Valley to the area designated as being most

in need.

What a lovely story of changing a

thought of compassion into a reality and

how a seven-year-old can lead all those

grownups to kindness.

Join the Friends of Tygerberg Hills for an in-

teresting talk with an even more interesting

title, namely: Meerkat motivation for the

marketplace.

This motivational talk will be hosted by

Estienne de Beer and illustrated with inspir-

ing wildlife photographs, with the emphasis

on meerkats and how they outsmart rivals

and predators to ensure their survival.

Interested parties can attend at the Kristo

Pienaar Centre at the Tygerberg Nature Re-

serve on Tuesday 1 March at 19:30.

Dear Talitha, with reference to

your letter in TygerBurger

(Another bone to pick with

parlour, 17 February) as

regards to the infection that

you imply your dog contracted

at Loving Care, I have the

following to share:

Impetigo is a skin disease of

dogs characterised by non-fol-

licular bacterial micro abcessa-

tion, usually caused by staphy-

lococcus pseudintermedius.

The dog is a natural host

and not the parlour!

The staphylococcus pseudin-

termedius will naturally reside

on canine skin.

Wishing you best of luck

with your Yorkie Bob. Kindest

regards,

Skin disease on

With reference to the commen-

tary in the TygerBurger of 17

February, Wag nog vir ek is

jammer, in which a caustic

blast of acrimonious blamewor-

thiness was levelled at the

owner and staff of the Loving

Care Doggy Parlour for gross

negligence in the care of the

pet entrusted to them by the

writer: I feel most strongly that

the entire matter demands a

counter balance of sentiment,

in which a greater perspective

is imparted to what actually

happened.

My reason for this insistence

is based on 10 years of utilisa-

tion of the services of the

Loving Care Doggy Parlour

during which time I have

NEVER entertained a wisp of

suspicion of any abuse inflicted

on my pet during her visit.

Precisely, to the contrary, I

have detected an unmistakable

tendency in my pet, of an

obvious joy at seeing the

owner, Barbara Rees, and her

staff when she is entrusted to

them for grooming.

LovingCare parlour

end of debate

On 19 January between 8:00 and

8:30, my son was travelling

from Bellville to Durbanville.

He must have dropped his

wallet in the taxi.

Mavis Billy noticed it on the

seat and decided not to give it

to the taxi driver or the sliding

door operator, saying she didnt

know in whose hands it may

end up.

His ID book, two bank cards

and motorbike licence together

with some cash (not a lot) were

in his wallet.

Wallet found: There

is still hope for us

Ons is besig met familieregis-

ters, en teken alles aan sover

ons kan. Die rede vir my

skrywe is dat daar destyds in

Parow in die 1940s tot laat

1950s n kraaminrigting met

die naam van Amoria Nursing

Home was. In watter straat en

omgewing dit was, weet ons

nie. Ek (1949) en my neef,

Johan (1950), is daar gebore.

Nog iemand het na vore

gekom en ges hy is in 1955 ook

daar gebore. Hy het nog die

koerantberiggie van sy geboorte

wat sy ouers geplaas het.

Ons sal dit hoog op prys stel

as een van die lesers vir ons

meer inligting oor die kraamin-

rigting kan verskaf.

Maak jou hart

kalm oor jou

skoonouers

D

aar is n sekere groep mense wat

diegene wat aan hul genade oorgele-

wer is, telkens reg bo-op die sny-

kant van die swaard laat, sonder dat jy

daar wil afklim. Di spesie het n naam;

hulle heet skoonmense.

Dis nie die oorneem van ouerlike pligte

in die teenwoordigheid van genoemde

ouer/s as dit by hul kleinkinders kom,

wat n mens moedeloos laat nie. Dis ook

nie die inmenging in besluite (wat hulle

eintlik op gn manier benvloed nie) wat

jou wrokkig laat nie.

Ja, jy kn seker vir skoonma vergewe

dat sy die heeldag suur gelyk het op jul

troudag; jy s die beter mens, oortuig jy

jouself.

Jys die een wat n werkbare, blywende

oplossing soek wat almal sal pas, en

sonder enige leedgevoelens sal laat. (Ook

die kleinkinders j kinders wat glo

hulle kan met moord wegkom en jy kan

nks daaromtrent doen nie, want Ouma

en Oupa gaan jou

besluite in elk

geval veto.)

Maar as jy dit

ontken, maak dit

jou briesend kwaad

as jy oor jou

frustrasie wil

praat, en hulle

bloot stilbly en

eenkant toe kyk as

jy die onderwerp

probeer ophaal.

Dan, kort daarna,

kla jy oor nog n

skoonouer-voorval

teenoor n kollega.

Die gesprek raak n algemene een waar jy

en die kollega vir die ander kollegas sit

en wag om jul weeklikse vergadering

klaar te kry. Dan hoor di kollegas die

trant van die gesprek, en kort voor lank

begin jou perspektief spreukbeurt vir

spreukbeurt te verander...

Daar is n stel skoonouers wat leef,

hoor ons, wat hul kleinkind ses jaar laas

gesien het. Di kleinkind is agt jaar oud,

en sy ouma het sy hare n oomblik lank

deurmekaar gevryf by n begrafnis waar

sy hom toevallig raakgeloop het.

n Ander vertel van geld wat elke

maand aan een of ander skoonouerprojek

deurgestuur moet word. Die een wat

Anybody who meets and

engages Barbara in conversa-

time will immediately appre-

hend her quality, depth and

sincerity as a human being

with a particular love and

commitment to the well-being of

animals ... and here is where

my vexation with free-ranging

publication of letters in newspa-

pers like TygerBurger becomes

an issue!

If the sources of these letters

are not carefully analysed and

facts not logically and cautious-

ly weighed and balanced, the

distinct danger exists that

anybody with subjective

opinions or hidden agendas

may easily and effectively use

the press as his/her covert

court of public opinion.

In such cases an accused

person who is by nature not

predisposed to public display of

emotion and opinion may well

fail to defend themselves

against unjust and malicious

character assassination.

I have absolutely no doubt

that Barbara is eminently

capable of mitigating or refut-

ing the attack levelled at her

and should be encouraged to

place her defence on record.

There will be many other

readers of TygerBurger with

whom my sentiments may

resonate.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

S

ome 52 000 counterfeit DVDs and CDs

were destroyed in Brackenfell on Fri-

day by the Films and Publication

Board (FPB).

The confiscated goods, connected to 46

criminal cases, were accumulated in the

Western Cape over a period of about four

months. Pile and piles of counterfeit goods

were manually fed into a heavy duty shred-

der at an industrial premises in Bracken-

gate Industrial Park.

In an interview with TygerBurger, the

FPB regional coordinator for Cape Town,

Clive Borman, explained the detrimental af-

fect the counterfeit market has on the film

and entertainment industry.

The industry loses millions of rand an-

nually.

The goods being destroyed here today

accounts for a R5 million loss; we do this

quarterly, he said.

Impact on industry

Take for instance the latest Leon Schu-

ster film, Schuks! Pay Back The Money!

Before the movie was released in 2015,

therewas literally hundreds of pirated cop-

ies available on street corners in Cape

Town for between R10 and R20 a copy. Due

to the extent of the big scale piracy, local

producers, actors, artists and employees

involved in the production of this film suf-

fered losses, he says.

Why would consumers pay R200 for the

movie at say Musica or up to R55 to view

the movie only once at the cinema?

And therein lies the problem, according to

Borman.

As long as there is a demand, the unending

supplywill continue, costing the industry bil-

lions.

The same applies to the countless video

shops that have closed down in Cape Town in

recent years.

Consumers wont pay to hire it if they can

own it for half the price.

Effects on economy

Sadly, the economic ramifications on the

country in terms of job losses are devastating.

In recent years, says Borman, the majority

of perpetrators selling pirated material were

foreigners coming into South Africa looking

to make a quick buck.

Although the FPB has its own compliance

unit, they dont have arresting rights, says

Borman, and have to work in joint opera-

tions with the police and Cape Town law en-

forcement units.

Counterfeiters will download the movie

from the internet and go into mass produc-

tion at so-called counterfeit production

houses around the city.

Its during clampdown operations at such

houses where the counterfeit items are con-

fiscated.

In terms of the Counterfeit GoodsAct, per-

petrators are fined up to R5000 per item or

a prison term for three years, or both.

In the event of a second or third convic-

tion, the fine in respect of each item can be

increased to up to R10 000 or five years im-

prisonment.

Police have appealed to firearm

owners to apply for renewal at least

90 days before the expiry date.

According to a statement from

national police, the purpose of re-

newing a firearm licence or permit

is todetermine if a person still com-

plies with the provisions of the

Firearms Control Act of 2000 and

the Firearms Control Regulations

in order to ensure effective control

and responsible firearm and am-

munition ownership.

All applications for the renewal

of a licence or permit to possess a

firearm are subject to the provi-

sion that the applicant must be in

possession of a valid and relevant

competency certificate. Any per-

son who wishes to renew their li-

cence to possess a firearm, to deal

in firearms, to manufacture fire-

arms or to conduct business as a

gunsmith, must at least 90 days

before the expirydate of the licence

apply for the renewal of the appli-

cable licence as well as a renewal

of the competency certificate.

Whereas some of the require-

ments are that the applicant must

be a South African citizen or a per-

manent resident, be above 21

years, be gainfully employed, and

more, it is advisable for the appli-

cant to get in touch with the desig-

nated firearm officer at their near-

est police station for clarity on any

part of the information or to visit

the SAPS website. All applicants

are required to produce a compe-

tency certificate for that category,

identity document or proof of per-

manent residency, and proof spe-

cific for that category of licence/s.

A

n era of Sunday afternoon

teas is coming to an end

this Sunday when the last

ever tea and cake event is pre-

sented at the Durbanville rose

garden.

This tea will quite suitably be

hosted by the Durbanville Gar-

den Club from 14:00 at a cost of

R25 per person.

After so many years of vari-

ous non-profitable organisa-

tions presenting Sunday after-

noon teas at the rose garden, an

internationally acclaimed tour-

ist attraction, it has now come

to an end after more than thirty

years as a result of the Western

CapeRoseSocietys leasenot be-

ing renewed by the City of Cape

Town.

The lease expires in May this

year.

The rose society started the

rose garden more than 33 years

ago in 1979 and rented the club-

house at a nominal fee per year.

The clubhousewas rented out to

several organisations, which

was administrated by the rose

society.

The rose garden one of only

two rose trial sites in the

southern hemisphere was

founded and laid out by the late

Linda Lindner, also known as

the rose queen of Durbanville,

and her husband, Dick, the then

chairperson of the Western

Cape Rose Society for many

years, in a joint venture by the

Western Cape Rose Society and

the Durbanville municipality.

According to Gordon Webb of

the Western Cape Rose Society,

also a member of the Durban-

ville Garden Club, the tradition

of Sunday afternoon teas will

now come to an end.

Rose garden

wilts and dies

With water savings on every-

ones lips, the Durbanville Gar-

den Club is throwing down the

gauntlet to gardeners to do a dis-

play of water wise plants at

their next meeting on Wednes-

day 9 March in the Durbanville

library hall.

To set an example, the com-

mittee members of the Durban-

villeGardenClubhaveput a col-

lection of water wise plants and

foliage from their own gardens

at theirmeeting on 10 February.

We would love to challenge

all members of the club, as well

as visitors who wish to attend

themeeting inMarch, to takeup

the challengeandbring cuttings

of water wise plants from their

gardens for display, says

Christine Boswell of the Dur-

banville Garden Club.

Plants do not necessarily

have to be indigenous, but the

criteria is that they must be wa-

ter wise, she said.

The meeting starts at 19:30.

V Contact Christine Boswell on

P

roperty owners will now

be able to view the latest

valuation for 2015 of their

property.

The City of Cape Town has

completed the General Valua-

tion Roll (GVR) for 2015 and it

was published on its website

last Friday.

According to a media release

by the City, property owners

will soon receive an official no-

tice in the post or via email, ad-

vising them of the 2015 valua-

tion of their property or proper-

ties.

The City produces a GVR

once every three years.

The percentage increase or

decreaseon thevalueof apartic-

ular property or properties

does, however, not necessarily

equate to the percentage in-

crease or decrease in future

rates payments, IanNeilson, the

Citys executive deputy mayor

said.

The Citys GVR is based en-

tirely on the market value on 1

August 2015. The City Valuer

makes use of a computer model-

ling programme called Comput-

erAssistedMassAppraisal (CA-

MA), which uses sales data, aer-

ial imagery and other property

information such as the proper-

tys location, size, number of

rooms, outbuildings, general

quality and property view to de-

termine the market value of a

property. The results are then

reviewed by professional prop-

erty valuers and adjusted if nec-

essary. There is no involvement

by politicians in the determina-

tion of property values, normay

they be involved in dealingwith

any objection to a valuation,

wrote Neilson.

Market value or not?

As the Citys GVR is based en-

tirely on the market value on

1 August 2015, for the purposes

of any objection to a valuation,

the percentage change from the

last valuation is not relevant,

nor is the impact on the rates

bill. The only consideration is

whether it is the market value

or not, Neilson continued.

The rates adjustment will be

tabled at the end ofMarch at the

start of the public participation

process on the Citys budget.

Property rates based on the

GVR for 2015 will be billed from

1 July.

As soon as the rate-in-the-

rand has been tabled, property

owners will be able to use the

rates calculator on the website

to determine the rates payable

on their property as from 1 July

this year.

Property valuations are car-

ried out regularly to ensure that

property owners pay a fair

share of the total rates income

required to operate the City,

wrote Neilson.

Property rates contribute to

various municipal services

which are for the benefit of all

residents. This includes disas-

ter management services,

roads, traffic and street lights,

and themaintenance of commu-

nity facilities and public spaces.

Economic pressures

Property valuations are not

done to chase a surplus or to

make money out of ratepayers.

The budget needed for thesemu-

nicipal services is carefully cal-

culated and property rates con-

tribute to the budget, he wrote.

We are mindful that we have

to provide top quality services

and manage the City in a finan-

cially sustainable and responsi-

ble manner. We are especially

conscious of the fact that our
