The ward 23 committee has proposed
that the designation of this site along
the Table View beachfront be removed
as a designated site for the discharging
of fireworks. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

A
ll eyes will be on the Blaauwberg Sub-
council thisweek to seewhether ornot
Table View residents can expect fire-
works along the beachfront during 2016.
This follows a recent recommendation by
the ward 23 committee that no site along the
beachfront from Dolphin Beach to Melk-
bosstrand be deemed as suitable for the dis-
charge of fireworks on Guy Fawkes Day,
Diwali and New Years Eve.
In the last year, residents living along the
beachfront have cried foul about the desig-
nation of the fireworks site near the old tour-
ism office. This was based on the City of
Cape Town safety criteria which among oth-
ers stipulate that the designated sitemust be
at least 500m from a petrol depot. Due to the
filling station at Marine Circle and the close
proximity of homes, residents have chal-
lenged the municipalitys decision.
This also prompted a motion by ward 23
committee memberMandy DaMatta calling
for the site to be removed. The motion was
first tabled in November but voted as not
urgent by the committee and fireworks
were allowed on New Years Eve. The mo-
tion then stood over.
Shortly before this, the City received a let-
ter fromDeAbreuandCohenAttorneyswho
acted on behalf of the Table View Ratepay-
ersAssociation (TVRA)and theWavesEdge
Community Forum outlining their objec-
tions. In addition to highlighting the safety
criteria set out by the municipality, they
outlined the regulations of the Explosives
Act of 2003.
According to theminutes of theward com-
mittee meeting, the motion did not appear
on the January ward committee agenda due
to an administrative oversight. It did, how-
ever appear on the March agenda.
According to the minutes, Blaauwberg
subcouncil manager Peter Deacon apolo-
gised for the oversight and proposed that the
contents of Da Mattas motion be noted and
in addition that no designated site be al-
lowed on the beachfront.
In view of the numerous objections re-
ceived from the immediate surrounding
owners/occupiers of properties, a petition
submitted to the office of the ombudsman
and the negative media reports received in
respect of the identified and demarcated
site/s along the beachfront from Dolphin
Beach to Melkbosstrand that NO area/s
along the said beachfront be identified and/
or demarcated for the setting off of fireworks
by the public during Guy Fawkes, Diwali
and New Years Eve festivities, he says in
the minutes.

Theward 23 committee resolved their rec-
ommendation in accordance with Dea-
cons proposal and in addition resolved
that in the event of this being accepted by
the subcouncil, therewill be no operation-
al plans in place by the City to control,
manage and assist in the event of any inju-
ries or damage in respect of thebeacharea
fromDolphin Beach toMelkbosstrand be-
ing used by the public for the setting off
of fireworks.
Responding to questions posed by Tyg-
erBurger, Deacon says a report contain-
ing themotion and recommendation from
the ward 23 committee will be considered
by councillors tomorrow (Thursday).
Asked whether the subcouncil can re-
ject the recommendation, he says: Yes,
the subcouncil can reject the ward com-
mittees recommendation. It is however
difficult to say or indicate on which
grounds, but it can surely first establish
from the relevant line departments what
the consequences could be if an area is not
identifiedand/ordemarcated for that pur-
pose.
TVRA chairperson Leon Alhadeff says
they are ecstatic at the recommendation
and hope it will be accepted by the sub-
council. We are excited to hear that the
desires and needs of our community are
being taken seriously.

ts chaotic here; everyone is scared.
These are the words of a frightened
community leader in Dunoon amid
violent protests which have resulted in the
arrest of 12 people.
The protests, which kicked off over the
weekend, relate to ongoing concerns about
housing but community leaders say those
looking inhaveno idea of how themajority
of residents are suffering.
According to a report from Milnerton po-
lice, criminals have joined the protest and
have started to target spaza shops owned by
foreign nationals. Potsdam Road has been
closed and residents say they are prevented
from going to work and taking their chil-
dren to school.
They explain the issue arose last week
when men from Khayelitsha started to rile
residents to protest over housing. The men
led a march down Potsdam Road on Friday
8April to the City of Cape Town. Traffic was
diverted as the groupmade their way to the
Century City train station and social media
feeds buzzed with warnings to motorists.
At the time concerned residents in Du-
noon called TygerBurger saying they were
being held hostage by trouble makers.
This week, police spokesperson Warrant
Officer Daphne OReilly says opportunistic
criminals have now joined and on Monday
commenced with looting Somali shops.
The community leader,who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity, says onMonday sever-
al properties were damaged. They are at-
tacking all the foreigners now and we dont
know what to do. Its a desperate situation
and these individuals are ruthless. They
damage anything and attack anyone. If they
see you with a bag going to work, you will
be targeted.
She says while housing is a major issue
in Dunoon as the cold winter months loom,
not everybody agrees with the violence. For
this reason a peace march was hosted on
Monday and community leaders will soon
meet to discuss possible solutions.
You see, housing is a problem. Winter
will comeandpeoplewill sleeponbeds filled
withwater but this is not theway to address
concerns.
People looking at Dunoon must under-
stand that there is a problem but these guys
are troublemakers and are doing damage to
our community. People are being fooled by
these guys and everyone is scared to speak
up because you will be targeted.
We all have families to protect and we
are scared.
Criminals target foreigners

ANDR BAKKES
@andrebakkes
Being a criminal in a technological world
is getting harder by the day as a new cloud-
based and web and cellphone app is about
to hit the street.
A local IT company, Computer Guyz, de-
signed a world first android app named
PatrolMan which will link neighbourhood
watches with its members, the public and
the police. SMSalertswill keep everyone in-
stantly aware of what is going on in their
neighbourhood suspicious people and ve-
hicles will be circulated and incidents will
be highlighted.
One of the developers, Craig Pedersen,
elaborates: The full version of the app will
be free until the end of the year. We already
have 100 projects and 6 500 subscribers. It
just keeps growing! The app is the brain-
child of Pedersen. Initially he and his col-
leagues wanted to design it for their local
neighbourhood watch inMilnerton, but the
cost and time involved saw them broaden-
ing their horizons nationally. Subscribers
are now from all over South Africa.
According to him all neighbourhood
watch exco members and patrollers will
have access to the full app for free even
beyond December. People who sit in their
homes those who claim it is too cold to pa-
trol the streets will pay R120 a year to use
the Lite version. This version will include
the news feed and the SOS function.
Pedersen is no newcomer to neighbour-
hood watches, having project managed the
Milnerton CrimeWatch for the past decade.
Its a product were really proud of and
we have been taken aback by the huge up-
take from watches countrywide. Theres a
core of 10-12 peoplewhomanage and run the
project, generally aided by 20 to 30 patrol-
lers who actively walk or drive patrols in
the area. Beyond this are a few hundred ac-
tive and interested members. Our app ca-
ters to all of these groups.
Patrollers capture incident information
and photos while on patrol. That informa-
tion is in turn stored on a web server for
monthly management reports.
At the same time, if a high priority inci-
dent is recorded, an SMSnotification is sent
to the relevant street coordinator and
projectmanager. Data usage is nominal and
patrollers have the peace of mind of being
able to summon help by activating the SOS
feature which will send out three SMSmes-
sageswith their GPS coordinates. A hotspot
map shows patrollers where incidents are
most commonly recorded in their area.
The IOS version is expected to be released
middle May.

Neighbourhoods get tech toughwith new app
The app has numerous features and develop-
ers are planning groundbreaking updates.

Residents rally to have
their say over budget
MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
I
ts that time of the yearwhen residents
across Cape Town rally to have their
say on themunicipalitys draft budget.
The City of Cape Town has revealed
their proposed expenditure for the
2016/2017 financial year while mayor Pa-
tricia de Lille has embarked on various
public participation meetings and most
recently discussed the municipalitys
plans with residents living in the
Blaauwberg Subcouncil area.
Speaking during a public meeting in
Table View last week, De Lille explained
the Citys budget is allocated in accord-
ance with the municipalitys five strate-
gic pillars, namely Opportunity City,
Safe City, Caring City, Inclusive City and
Well Run City. In the past three financial
years, the City has used the majority
funds in the first pillar, Opportunity City.
Here R61,5 billion has been spent on at-
tracting large events and business, provi-
sion and maintenance of water and elec-
tricity equipment and infrastructure,
looking after resources such as clean
drinkingwater and effective public trans-
port systems.
According to her presentation the allo-
cations for the next financial year across
the five pillars include R24,9bn for theOp-
portunity City, R3bn for the Safe City,
R4,7bn for the Caring City, R2,6bn for the
InclusiveCity andR5,5bn for theWellRun
City.
The mayor also revealed some of the
proposed projects for the Blaauwberg
Subcouncil area covering wards 4, 23, 29,
32, 104 and 107.
On the list of capital projects, R200 000
is allocated towards the installation of
CCTV cameras, R50 000 for sports equip-
ment in Joe Slovo Park, R180 000 for a
skatepark in Summer Greens, R60 000 for
traffic calming measures in Summer
Greens and R150 000 for the upgrading of
the beachfront from Dolphin Beach to
Eden on the Bay.
Other capital projects include R150 000
for a skatepark at Dolphin Beach, R50 000
for signage in public open spaces in Park-
lands and the upgrading of green spaces
in Dunoon.
De Lilles presentation also highlights
the operating projects budget which in-
cludes R100 000 for the cleaning of typha
in Sunningdale and other various other
social programmes for seniors, abused
women and vulnerable groups.
Looking back on projects over the last
financial year, she highlighted the up-
grade of the Atlantis Cemetery, the Pella
Park development and the Dunoon Spray-
park.
The City has also now extended the
comment period on the proposed budget
to Friday 29 April.
Deputy mayor Ian Neilson says by al-
lowing more time on the draft R40,7bn
budget, they hope it will give more resi-
dents more time to scrutinise the docu-
ment and to contribute their insights and
suggestions.
Wehave had to look very closely at bal-
ancing the Citys operational needs with
the realities on the ground and the broad-
er context in which we are working. We
have looked at where we can trim the fat,
work more efficiently, get more value for
money, and also alleviate the pressure on
our residents where at all possible.
The Citys draft budget, including bud-
get-related policies and the proposed tar-
iffs and property rates, is available at sub-
council offices and libraries. Interested
parties are invited to submit comments to
the City Manager by sending an e-mail to
29 April. It can also be viewed online.

budget? Send your views to briewe@

undreds of competitors embraced the
grind at Hillcrest Wine and Olive
Farm on Saturday and Sunday. The
inaugural event is called The Grind and
attracts proper athletes, corporate fun-seek-
ers, fitness enthusiasts and run-of-the-mill
adventurers to complete an obstacle course.
There were different categories that varied
from 1km to 8km some containing seven
obstacles and others 30.
Splashing, running, climbing, hanging
and pulling were just some of the copious
grinding that will undoubtedly become big-
ger and better, year on year.

ogus abortion doctors and illegal ad-
vertiserswill have to sell their services
elsewhere. Parklands Main Road and
the greater Table View area are becoming
out of their reach as Ken Spies of the Table
View Community Police Forum (CPF) is
making his presence known.
For many years now, Spies has spear-
headed the removal of graffiti and gang
tags in the hope of keeping his neighbour-
hood clean.
Each month the CPF hosts community
clean-ups where residents armed only
with gloves and bags head out and clean
various areas including greenbelts. Ahead
of the March clean up, Hendrik du Plessis of
the CPF made a plea on social media for resi-
dents to assist Spies in removing illegal abor-
tion posters.
It is illegal for anyone to post advertise-
ments on bus shelters, dustbins, stop signs,
lamp posts or sides of buildings. The abortion
poster pasters visited our area again, and
there [were] at [least] 300posterspasted tovar-
ious spots on Parklands Main Road from Gie
Road to Raats Drive, he wrote.
Residents responded and along with Spies
they removed more than 400 illegal posters.
TygerBurger joined Spies, residents Bren-
dan Keith-Shaw and CPF chairperson David
Harris on a walk in Parklands.
Here they highlight the amount of posters
and say while the area is clean, illegal adver-
tisers will soon be back. Using only a spray
bottle with sugar soap and a scraper, Spies
and Shaw diligently remove posters in their
free time.
Parklands Main Road looks a lot better
thanks to Ken. He has been doing this [for]
a long timewithout any thanks and its [like]
the Broken Windows Concept its about
showing criminals we care about our neigh-
bourhood andkeeping it clean,Harris says.
But fake abortion doctors are not the only
problem, Spies says while he sympathises
with those who have lost their pets, posters
of missing animals on traffic signs are also
illegal and if one illegal poster is removed,
all should be.

Noone to be removed from voters roll
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
W
idespread concerns were raised by
residents following the second reg-
istration weekend, prompting the
DA to investigate.
In a letter sent from the DA head office to
all ward councillors last week, it was stated
that the IEC (Independent Electoral Com-
mission) had confirmed that they have not
removed a single voter or information of a
voter, from the voters roll.
According to the IEC a voter who has been
verified and placed on the voters roll, can-
not be removed.
Only a voterwhohas applied for de-regis-
tration in terms of section 10 of the Electoral
Act, may be removed completely from the
voters roll, the letter stated.
Chaos ensued after an SMS went out from
the IEC to about 5 million voters, requesting
voters to update their address information.
Voters became concerned about their sta-
tus on the voters roll and this panic in-
creased after reports in the mainstreamme-
dia when Glen Mashinini, Chairperson of
the IEC, warned that more than two-thirds
of the voters roll could be disenfranchised
due to the absence of address information.

from readers regarding the issue, of which
some were escalated to ward councillors.
In most of these complaints, readers say
their information could not be found on vot-
ers lists at various voting stations.

A duo from Dunoon appeared in
court last week after they were
nabbed with an unlicensed fire-
arm.
According to a report from Mil-
nerton police the two men aged 25
and 28 were arrested in the Siyah-
lala informal settlement.
Police spokespersonWarrantOf-
ficer Daphne OReilly says officers
received a tip-off from residents
and proceeded to search the mens
home where they found an unli-
censed firearm and two rounds of
ammunition hidden behind a
speaker. The firearm, known as a
Baby Brown pistol, was handed in
for evidence.
This is a good example of what
police can achieve with the assist-
ance of the community. Manage-
ment applauds officers for their
dedication to root out criminal ele-
ments in our communities.
In an unrelated case, Milnerton
police also arrested two people
found in possession of suspected
stolen goods in Rugby.
OReilly saysonMonday11April
at about 13:00 officers searched a
property in Nahum Street follow-
ing a tip-off and found three flat
screen televisions, various cell-
phones and bags. When ques-
tioned, the two people could not
provide proof of where they ob-
tained the valuables.

C
rimefighters in Melkboss-
trand are clamping down
on poachers along the
coastline.
In a recent operation on
Thursday 7 April two men, who
are believed to part of a highly
organised network of poachers,
were caught with 452 abalone.
Police spokesperson Consta-
bleDebbieAlard says thedrama
unfolded when the men were
spotted bymembers of theMelk-
bos Neighbourhood Watch.
The poachers are highly or-
ganised and operate in the area
just before Atlantic Beach all
the way to Koeberg. The neigh-
bourhood watch has specialist
spotters who keep a lookout for
these guys because when they
see police in the area they wont
go into the water.
Alard says the network is
made up of spotters, divers and
drivers. The spotters reportedly
scout the area for police and if
no officers are seen they alert
the divers. The divers come in
and go into the water to collect
the abalone and here is where it
gets tricky.
Members of the neighbour-
hood watch report all sightings
of poachers and police gear up
to take action. The problem is
you cant arrest someone for be-
ing in the water. Of course they
operate late at night and in the
early hours, making it hard to
detect them. Once the divers
have collected the abalone, they
usually leave it between the
rocks and leave it for collection
by the drivers who then trans-
port it out of Melkbosstrand.
Alard says the divers swim
like Olympians and cover
large areas, and thick vegeta-
tion makes for an easy hidea-
way to store the abalone when
police are spotted.
Poaching is a big problem in
Melkbosstrandbutweare grate-
ful for the help of the watch
members who keep a sharp
lookout for poachers.

Melkbosstrand police tracked
alleged car thieves last week
and arrested two men aged 33
and 49 in Maitland.
According to a police report,
the incident occurred on Sun-
day 10Aprilwhen themenalleg-
edly stole a dark grey Toyota
Fortuner in Melkbosstrand.
Police spokesperson Consta-
ble Debbie Alard says the inves-
tigation was headed by acting
headof detectives SergeantNeil
Theron who followed all leads
and arrested the two men in a
complex in Long Street, Mait-
land.
The vehicle was not recov-
ered, however the belongings of
the complainant that were in-
side thevehicle at the timeof the
crime were found in the posses-
sion of the suspects.
The men are expected to ap-
pear in the Atlantis Magis-
trates Court this week.

Table View Football Club (TVFC) is one
step closer to their goal of building a new
deck.
This is thanks to a donation by TATA
Paarden Eiland, who donated a club car
andR30 000 towards the clubs fundraising
efforts.
Speaking at the handover, Ronnie
Phipps of TATA says his son has been in
the club for the last 20 years and eachweek
he sees how families come together to sup-
port their children.
They are a family club giving so much
back, and we wanted to do something to
help them on their way.
ClubmanagerChris Lewis says they are
grateful for the donation and need to raise
R100 000 for their new deck. The deck will
be placed upstairs of the club house with
a braai area and bar, giving parents a bet-
ter view of the fields.
The club also assists young boys from
Dunoon by providing the funds to have
them travel to the club and providing
them with a meal.

E
ers het die oud-Kraaifonteiner Wayde
van Niekerk die wreld laat regop sit
toe hy internasionale atletiekrekords
laat spat het, en nou gaan hy sy stem laat
hoor in n internasionale veldtog teen boe-
lies.
In samewerking met Cartoon Netwerk
South Africa en Childline, het Wayde Vry-
dag di netwerk se Be a Buddy not a Bully-
veldtog van stapel gestuur.
Die inisiatief skop af op 7 Mei op DStv se
kanaal 301, met n program waarin Wayde
sal verskyn, sowel as n oorspronklike ani-
masiereeks wat die sienswyses van die boe-
lie, sy slagoffer en omstanders aanspreek.
Ek weet alte goed hoe dit voel om geboe-
lie te word en daarom het ek gespring vir
die kans ombydie veldtog betrokke te raak.
Met die veldtog wil ons kinders leer om
n vriend tewees, nie n boelie nie. Boeliege-
drag is nie aanvaarbaar nie en daar is niks
verkeerd daarmee om vir hulp te vra nie.
Om op te staan en te praat is die eerste stap
om dinge beter te maak, s Wayde.
Die inisiatief sal veral daarop toegespits
wees om bewustheid onder kinders te skep
en om hulle te bemagtig om op te tree teen
boelies.
Op sy beurt sal Childline die anti-boelie-
boodskap versprei deur middel van videos
om kinders en volwassenes met advies in
vier tale te voorsien Sotho, Zoeloe, Engels
en Afrikaans.
Die beste eienskap van die veldtog is die
toegewyde aanlyn-platform waar kinders
wat direk of indirek deur boelies geaffek-
teer word, dadelik toegang kan verkry tot
professionele advies en ondersteuning.
Die webtuiste by http://beabuddy.car-
toonnetworkhq.com sal kinders van die
noodsaaklike inligting verskaf.
Volgens Dumisile Nala, hoof- uitvoeren-
de beampte van Childline, bly boeliegedrag
n groot bekommernis in Suid-Afrika.
Daarword beraamdat sowat 35%van al-
le kinders in een of ander stadium geboelie
word nie net op die speelterrein nie, maar
dit volg hul 24/7 waar hulle ookal gaan,
selfs tot op sosiale media-platvorms.
Dit is gewetenloos enhounie sommer op
nie, s hy. Vir party kinders voel dit asof
daar geen wegkomkans is nie, wat tot erge
angs en depressie kan lei, s hy.
Dit is so belangrik dat ons as ouers en
volwassenes na ons kinders luister en hulle
bystaan indien hulle die slagoffer van n
boelie is. Pierre Branco, besturende direk-
teur van Turner Africa, s Cartoon Net-
work South Africa voel baie sterk oor die
feit dat die meerderheid van hul gehoor
deur boeliegedrag geraak word.
Ons is verheug daaroor dat ons hierdie
baie tasbare krisis saam met Wayde en
Childline kan aanpak, s hy.
V Vanaf Maandag 2 Mei kan kinders die webtuiste
by http://beabuddy.cartoonnetworkhq.combesoek
vir raad en bystand.

ek my kollega agterlaat. Aan die bokant
sluit hy egter kort daarna by my op die

Ek kyk voor my uit. Dis net die begin.
Voor ons wag daar nog duine om oor te

ng bulte om uit te klim, emmers water
wat ons moet ronddra, sandsakke wat ons
moet optel, sakke vol stene wat ons moet

Housing protest sparks
concern (TB, 13 April) refers.
I live in Dunoon in a backyard,
renting a hokkie. What is
happening is a sorry state of
affairs.
As much as I would love to
own a house one day, I do not
agree with the housing
protest that is currently taking
place.
I hear stories about a man
from Khayelitsha who belongs
to a certain political party and
is the leader. That, to me,
changes everything. Its a
political housing protest,
whatever you may call it. I am
not a politician, in fact I
dont like politics but I feel
sorry for the poor people being
used by politicians for their
own agendas. The people must
wake up the RDP is dead and
buried; theres nothing for free.
My 20c advice for the
housing department is
allocate the land, build low
cost houses, introduce a rent
to own scheme whereby the
tenant would pay a fixed
amount for a number of years
then the house is his or hers.
I am sure most of the people
would dive head-first for an
opportunity like that.

it is part of the criminal
activity in the country. If
reported, the authorities can

Put it on social media
immediately and warn everyone

Dont make the pointers too

Roelof Coertzen het die Dots
Learning Centre n diens
aangebied wat in die beste
belang van sy kind was, maar
dit lyk of hierdie belange geen
rol speel in die Wes-Kaapse
regering se veldtog om soge-
naamde onwettige skole te
sluit nie. In Regulasie 341/2011
van die Wes-Kaapse regering,
onderteken deur minister
Donald Grant, word die reg op
onafhanklike onderwysinstel-
lings so ingeperk dat dit bykans
onmoontlik is vir private skole
om te registreer, wat alternatie-
we vorme van onderwys
aanbied en poog om die unieke
behoeftes van kinders te
akkommodeer. In 2014 het die
Wes-Kaapse regering gepoog om
tuisonderwys in die provinsie te
onderdruk met n drakoniese
nuwe beleid.
As dit nie was vir die optrede
van tuisonderwys-verenigings
en die Pestalozzi-trust nie, sou
minister Grant dit moontlik
reggekry het om die Wes-Kaap
te transformeer in die mees
onvriendelike provinsie vir
tuisonderwys. Dis hoog tyd dat
private skole hulle ook verset
teen die aksies van die Wes-

taking a poo behind the sign
right near where their make-
shift camp was set up for the
night (in the flower bed) where
pedestrians were walking past.
This I find rather odd.
A young lady who is an
employee at the establishment,
told me that she loves her job,
and she supports her entire
family financially. Thats why
my concern is so great. I think
that we cannot afford to see
any more businesses close
down. Our economy is already
so fragile, and these disruptive
individuals should not interfere
with our economy. They must
be stopped in their tracks.
I know these people read the
newspaper, so I ask them, as a
mother, please dont traumatise
these people. Just like you,
many are down on their luck,
and also struggling to bring
home a bread. Dont destroy
our local business.

An elderly Rugby resident shows the knife she believes a conman would have used as he stole valuables from her home last week.

H
e could have killed me.
These are the chilling words
of an elderlywoman fromRugby
as she recounts the details of how a man
conned his way into her home.
Betty Botha says her ordeal played out
over the last week and it all started when
she received an odd phone call from aman
named Benjamin.
Themanknew intimate details about the
elderly woman and asked her about pot-
tery she sold.
Bothas husband recently passed away
and she says the man told her he was from
the divisional council and needed to
check her electricity meter.
He randomly showed up at her home on
Monday 11 April shortly after noon,
driving a white bakkie, and asked to in-
spect the meter. Botha says he told her he
needed to check it to ensure that as a pen-
sioner, she received a rebate offered by the
City of Cape Town.
He asked for a ladder and I gave it to
him. He stood on it and looked at the box.
He then told me to get on the ladder and
look at something while he checked the
plugs. Each time he toldme to count to ten.
I thought something was wrong, but didnt
say anything.
The man quickly left and Botha locked
the gate behind him. But she soon noticed
something was wrong in her Farnworth
Road home and went into her bedroom. To
her horror she realised all her late hus-
bands clothes had been stolen.
Bill died so recently and I have not put
his things away. Its still fresh to me and
I just needed some time.Nowall his clothes
are gone, she says, fighting back tears.
Upset she went to her bed and found her
jewellery box and a cardboard box had
been tampered with. Here she discovered
more than 10 rings and bangles her hus-
band gave her as gifts over the years had
been stolen.
He knew I liked watches and I had just
recently had all the batteries replaced. The
man took it and now they are gone. Each
one had a special meaning and he just took
them. I am sure he will go and sell it.
While trying to comprehend what had
just happened, Botha went through her
husbands belongings to see if anything
elsewasmissing andnoticed a diving knife
used by her husband had been removed
from its holster.
It was always there and my husband
didnt use it for a long time. Just the other
day I saw it had gathered dust and after
Benjamin left and I realised he was just
here to steal, I thought about it. The knife
had been taken out and I think if I had dis-
turbed him, he would have used that knife.
It has not been used or moved in years and
I believehe took it out.He couldhavekilled
me.
Visibly shaken and upset about her hus-
bands belongings, Botha shares the pain
of losing her husband and the items which
marked memories of their marriage.
The elderly woman displays her courage
as she straightens up and says: But I
thought I must share this with TygerBur-
ger. Please alert other elderly people about
this. I believe this man saw someone he
could take advantage of. I hope people will
take note of thiswarning and bemore care-
ful.
Milnerton Police confirmed the case and
said no similar incidents have been report-
ed. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer
Daphne OReilly advised residents to
check the identification of any person
claiming to be an official before allowing
them into their home. If it is an official
person theymust have a form of identifica-
tion. Also phone the council or company to
make sure that there are people doing the
rounds to check on electricity meters. En-
sure that you have a good quality safety
gate installed at the entrance door.
. Last weekKleinvlei police advised eld-
erly residents in Blackheath to be aware of
fake council and Eskom workers. They is-
suedawarning inTygerBurgersKuilsRiv-
er edition after two seniors living in the
same street were targeted by fake inspec-
tors.

Another clean run: Runners gathered at Big Bay to participate in the second beach run hosted by Clean C as part
of the Cape Town Classic Beach Run Series. So far the organisation has managed to raise enough to cover the cost
of two bursaries for women from Joe Slovo Park. With three runs left in the series, they invite all Capetonians to
take part and help them reach their target of five bursaries for five women. The next run will be a Full Moon Night
Beach Run at Dolphin Beach Hotel on Friday 22 April. The run will start at 18:30 and all participants will receive a
medal and a boerewors roll at the end. For more details visit www.cleanc.co.za or call Gregory Player on 082 873 1962.
The Cape Town Science Centre in-
vites all Capetonians and visitors to
Cape Town to contemplate its new
Miniature Marvels exhibition con-
sisting of 48 small objects that make
a huge difference in our everyday
lives.
The exhibition is about simple ob-
jects that people take for granted but
they each have a unique story to tell.
Professor Mike Bruton, the curator
of this exhibition, tells stories of the
Post-it note that started off as a flop
with a glue that wasnt strong
enough and yet it is now used world-
wide; Velcro arose because an ob-
servant scientist noticed that cockle-
bur seeds stuck to the fur of his sock;
The Band-Aid was invented to heal
the cuts of an accident-prone wife
while the light bulb took decades of
focused research on two continents
to be perfected.
The exhibition is the first of a se-
ries of temporary exhibitions that
will be on display in the Cape Town
Science Centre for limited periods in
2016.
V The Cape Town Science Centre is easily
accessible in Observatory near the Groote
Schuur Hospital. For further information or
bookings send an email to [email protected]
or call 021 300 3200.

While some children prefer the free-
dom of playing and running around
barefoot, this simple and carefree ac-
tion doesnt represent freedom for oth-
ers even more so in the wet winter
months in Cape Town, when the social
and economic divides in our society
are even more apparent in images of
those who have and those who dont.
In the community of Ocean View in
False Bay, it is not uncommon to see
kids walking to school with broken,
gaping shoes or even no shoes at all.
On Freedom Day, Wednesday
27 April, the Sons of Thunder MC will
drive change in this regard in Ocean
Viewwith support from the larger bik-
ing community, their collective net-
work of local businesses, family and
friends. In collaboration with NPO
Royal Kids, the Sons of Thunder MC
will host the fourth annual Soles 4
Souls school shoe drive.
The aim of this function is to hand
over a minimum of 500 pairs of spon-
sored school shoes to learners who at-
tend Marine Primary School and
Ocean View Secondary School before
winter sets in.
Bikers around Cape Town will ride
in solidarity to create awareness of
children in needwho, despite their cir-
cumstances, still make the journey to
school in broken shoes or without. Its
a different walk to freedom for these
kids, but one that the biking communi-
ty wholeheartedly supports.
The bike run will also raise aware-
ness of biking safety and affirms the
role of the biking fraternitys goodwill
in serving the needs of local communi-
ties. They are now calling on business-
es, community social groups and indi-
viduals to be part of this change and
assist them in reaching their goal of
donating at least 500 pairs of school
shoes to a community in need.
Readers can also sponsor one or
more pairs at R120 per pair.
The handover will be done at Just
Wine Restaurant, Sanlam Business
Park, Milnerton on Freedom Day at
noon and all are welcome.
V To assist or for more information, call Gar-
reth Charles on 083 485 1667 or Danolene Jo-
hanessen on 060 365 0733.
