The upgrades to Eva Court have sufferedamajor setback following rampantvan-dalism.

Residents of theManenberg flats now feartheymaynot be able to return to their homesagain in the near future.Since upgrades to the council-owned prop-

erty started in October, residents of EvaCourt have been living in temporary con-tainer villages set up along DuinefonteinRoad.Theon-sitework, at a costR800 000, started

in early October. It was scheduled to be com-pleted six weeks later.But since the onset of continued gang vio-

lence and vandalism forced contractors toput the upgrade onhold, residents have beenquestioning if they would be able to returnto their council-owned homes.If the ongoing gang violence is not re-

solved, contractors will not be able to returnwithin the next month, confirms MayoralCommittee Member for Human SettlementsSiyabulela Mamkeli.There is currently no work taking place

on site and the building has been strippedto nothing but an empty shell. In some partsthe staircase has also been stolen.Mamkeli confirms the City of Cape Town

will have to conduct on-site visits to deter-mine the extent of the damage and evaluatewhether they will have to rebuild the flatsfrom scratch. Should that be the case, hepoints out this would require additionalfunding which has not been budgeted forand will further delay the process.“We have been informed of vandalism and

theft at the site. Vandals have even stolen allmetal and equipment from the site officer’soffice. The department has employed securi-ty guards to patrol the premises during theweek. Due to recent incidents of vandalismwe will have to extend the patrol hours toinclude weekends until we are able to com-plete the project,” he says.Mamkeli says not only is the additional se-

curity going to affect the bottom line, butmany materials on site have also been sto-len. “We are in the process of clearing all sal-vageable items and materials from the siteto use in the renovation. Many of the sec-tions will now have to be demolished due toextensive damage andwill have to be rebuilt

from scratch. Some building materials,which have been brought on-site already,has also been stolen.Wires have been rippedout of thewall, roofs thrown in andwindowsbroken,” Mamkeli adds.“We hope to have a contractor on site as

soon as possible but safety and security ofworkers will have to be considered first.”Mamkeli says the plan is to have contrac-

tors on site by the end of February and haveresidents back in their homes by Easter.In addition, contractors have allegedly

been forced to give in to gangsters’ demands

for protection fees in fear of their safety.Mamkeli could not elaborate on the allega-

tions at the time of going to print, but con-firms an investigation into the allegation isunderway.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-

ant Ian Bennett says activity on the site isa big concern. “We can’t allow a situationwhere contractors or anyone living andworking in the area has to pay gangsmoney.This is just another reason to cause troubleamong the gangs and could lead to more vio-lence and deaths,” says Bennett.

“We receive regular complaints from resi-dents living around the property of theft andvandalism taking place at the flats. Thiskind of activity only draws more criminalsto the area. The longer the flats remain va-cant, the bigger the problem is going to get.For thieves this is a treasure.“There is much to steal and we can’t allow

such behaviour. It will have a negative im-pact on crime at the surrounding propertiestoo.Wehave deployed fullmanpower to helpmake the area safe for contractors to returnto work to complete the project.”

Have you ever called your local police sta-tion and requested that a police van as-sist with a crime issue?

Have you ever been told no vehiclewas avail-able?One Cape Town resident has now decided to

tackle this issue.Owen Simons from Lavender Hill has made

a plea to residents across Cape Townwho haveexperienced this to come forward and sharetheir stories.For many years, Simons says, he has often

seen police vehicles stationed at private homesand wondered whether it was allowed.In recent months he has become frustrated

with being told no vehicles were available toattend to a complaint and has kept a record ofhow many times this has happened.“In the last three months I have called my

local station 29 times and only been assisted intwo instances. This was for a shooting and arobbery. In one of these incidents I contactedthe station commander directly and he assist-ed by getting a van out,” he explains.

ProtocolsSimons says the public is not aware of what

the protocols are with the use of police cars.He says his aim is to ascertain how many peo-ple have seen these vehicles parked at privateresidences in their communities and whetheror not others have been told there are no vans.“The main issue is that people do not know

what the protocols are and when officers getauthorisation to take these vehicles home andwhat the conditions are.”Provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant-

Colonel Andrè Traut says the command andcontrol of the vehicle fleet is not “something

that is treated lightly”.He explains rigid regulations and di-

rectives are enforced to ensure that vehi-cles are applied for the intended use.“Due to the fact that policing and the

availability of our personnel at short no-tice are not restricted to office hours, ve-hicles – marked and unmarked – are as-signed to members to keep at their placeof residence on a standby basis.”However, Traut says, obtaining autho-

risation for the use of police vehicles iscompulsory and can only be issued by acommander.

RecordsTraut explains records are kept for

each vehicle and in the case of a disputeor an investigation, the GPS-based track-er, which is fitted to all police vehicles, isused to shed light on thewhereabouts andusage of the vehicle in question.He says the initiative by Simons is wel-

comed by police and should correspondwith police records.“However, if it does not, wewill not hes-

itate to investigate the matter and take ap-propriate action against our members whomisuse State vehicles,” Traut adds.

ResourcesSimonshas raised several questions about

the availability of resources and the usethereof.While living in a “high crime” area, he

says, not being able to get a vehicle to re-spond to a call is a concern.“The question is if they keep saying they

don’t have resources or vehicles, then whyare there vehicles parked at private homesovernight not being used.”Asked whether there were enough vehi-

cles, Traut says: “Western Cape police havea sufficient number of vehicles to police theprovince effectively and the vehicles as-signed for after hours garaging at the resi-dence of members are not the ones utilisedfor attending complaints and policing by the24-hour shifts”.V If you would like to provide Simons with informationabout police vehicles call 079 955 5335 or email ow[email protected].

SAFETY

Spotlight on cop cars

This fire season (December to April) intheWestern Cape has been the worst inseven years.

And it is not even February yet, which isusually the windiest month of the year andtraditionally the high-alert month.In a statement, the Goodwood Fire Station

indicates the total number of incidents re-sponded in the Cape Town area (statisticsearly January 2015) has increased from 3456for the 2013/14 season to 7949 this season.The number of structural fires has risenfrom 331 to 694, and the number of wildfireshas increased from 1535 to 2390 so far.Working on Fire (WoF), a broad-based, in-

tegrated fire management initiative, saysthat 99% of all fires are caused by humannegligence.The Western Cape Disaster Management

Centre says fires are most often caused byelectrical faults or carelessness. Cigarettes,matches and lighters, candles, heating appli-ances and open braai fires can all cause firesif not carefully monitored.It is not only human error that causes

fires, though.Environmental factors suchaschanging weather patterns and urbanspread increase the risk of fires with the ef-fects and level of damage often being feltmore severely. The southeaster wind cou-pledwithhigh temperaturesmake ideal con-ditions for wild fires to run rampant.A leading short-term insurer has placed a

much bigger focus on fire management overthe last five years.“Fire, and the damage it causes, is of enor-

mous concern to us,” says John Melville,head of risk services at the insurer.

“It is one of the factors that has a directimpact on the sustainability of the short-term insurance industry, both here inSouth Africa and globally.“The challenge lies in forming coopera-

tive partnerships with local government,regulators andwith communities.We needa collective effort to effectively fight fire.”He offers the following tips to stay safe:. Always safely dispose of fires, hot ash,

coal and cigarettes;. Always work in an open, cleared area

when working with power tools;. Ensure that your electrical appliances

are correctly wired;. Keep the area around your home clear

of flammable materials;. Only burn rubbish on cooler, wind-

still days, and only if you have a burningpermit;

. Never leave an open fire unattended;

. Only use fireworks and Chinese lan-terns far from areas prone to fires; and

. Registerwith theFire ProtectionAsso-ciation for enhanced security – failure todo so will have a court automatically as-sume you are guilty of negligence in theevent of a liability lawsuit.He says firefighting units must be de-

ployedwithin a 25-minute response time tomaximise the extent towhichhigh risk are-as can be accessed. “International researchhas consistently found that the capacity torespond towild fireswithin this timeframeis the critical factor in damage contain-ment. To this end, communities must alsobe mobilised for effective communication,prevention and risk reduction.”

Backyard dwellers in Heideveld willsoonhaveaccess to electricity and san-itation.

At the end of February more than 150backyarders will be supplied with sanita-tion and electricity services as part of aR1.2m project.

The project will supply each householdwith a flushing toilet and electricity box toimprove the living conditions of the fami-lies.

Ward councillor Anthony Moses says de-mands to improve the quality of living con-ditions for backyard dwellers has been anongoing challenge for years.

He says there have been mixed reviewsfrom the community regarding the plans,but points out everyone has the right to ba-sic services.

“Service delivery and housing will al-ways be a sensitive topic. There have beennumerous requests for us to better the liv-ing conditions of the backyarders and wehave heard and listened to people’s con-cerns,” he says.

“This project isn’t aimed at encouragingbackyarding. It is simply to help currentbackyard dwellers get access to decent sani-tation facilities and electricity. We have alist of registered backyard dwellers whomwe have come to know over the years. Onlythey will receive services,” he says.

“Some of the families have been livingwithout proper sanitation and access toelectricity for more than 10 years. It is im-portant that we create an inclusive commu-nity and create equal opportunities for ev-eryone.”

Heideveld resident Alex Charles express-sed concern that providing backyarderswith access to basic services will only en-courage more people to set up house inbackyards in the area.

“While it is good to see that the councilis assisting people in need, I can’t help butwonder if this won’t encourage more back-yarders to move into the community,” hesays.

“On some plots there are already up tothree families living at the back of a house.The aim is not to have more people becom-ing backyarders but for council to find thefamilies a better place to live.”

Resident Irene van Wyk says backyard-ers have the right to be treatedwith dignity.

“We are all people and what goes for oneshould go for all. We don’t have the right tojudge someone else and deny them accessto services just because they are worse offthan us. Everybody struggles, but we can’tjudgepeoplewithoutknowing their circum-stances,” she says.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Bridgetown Primary School will soonopen the doors to the school’s first li-brary.

For teachers and pupils at the BlossomStreet school this is an exciting time.

The new library – set in the middle of theschool yard – features colourful walls, child-friendly custom-designed furniture and anoutdoor science area, is a joint project by theschool and the provincial education depart-ment. The project will cost R25 000.

Education department spokesperson Jes-sica Shelver says the project forms part ofthe department’s library drive to help im-prove literacy in schools, with a special fo-cus on primary schools.

Principal Albert Arendse says they werethrilled to find out the education departmentplanned to build a library for the school.

“There is a great need for a library as itis very import for children to read – not only

so that it improves language skills, but alsoso that it challenges their minds.

“Many children also use reading as a wayto escape from reality and we wanted to pro-vide our pupils with a safe and excitingspace to do so,” he says.

“We have also received book donationsfrom some teachers, which is fantastic, butthere is still a long way to go. We would liketo have at least five books per child in thelibrary. I would like to appeal to companiesand the community to donate books. Evenif they are secondhand in a good conditionit will be greatly appreciated.”

While the date has not yet been confirmed,the library is set to open in February.

With over 600 pupils at the school, thereading facility will go a long way to helpinguplift and educate the youth.

“The library is going to transform thelives of the children, giving them access tonew worlds and tools of education that theyhave so far been denied,” Arendse con-cludes.

Taking back their community, onestreet at a time. That is what Manen-berg residents have pledged to do.

Multiple public meetings were held byresidents last week ahead of the schools re-opening to develop a safety plan to ensureall childrenmake it to school without beinginjured.Over the past few weeks gang violence

has spiralled inManenberg, claiming inno-cent lives and forcing residents to cancelChristmas and New Year celebrations.Speaking at a public meeting on Tuesday

evening, Ronald Snipper, of the Safe Ma-nenberg Campaign, said enough is enough.“We are done having peace talks with

gangmembers.Wewill never have anothertalk with them. Why should we be askingthem for permission?” he said.“We need to do something ourselves to

make it safe for ourselves. The police aren’tgoing to help us. We are asking Manenbergto stand together and start a chain reaction.We want our dignity.”Community activist Shanda Pascoe said

never again will they allow Manenberg tohave a black Christmas. “We have to stoplooking at other people to help us. It isn’tpeople from outside who are killing ourchildren and residents; it is our own familymembers who are gangsters.We are the on-ly people who can really make a differencein our community,” she said.Pascoe further encouraged residents to

stop covering up for their children and re-port all illegal drugs and guns to police.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieu-

tenant Ian Bennett says in the past week,officers have confiscated drugs with astreet value of more than R25 000.These included 44 sticks of dagga, 54man-

drax tablets and 24 packets of tik.Officers have also confiscated 36 illegal

firearms between December and January.“Wewill take to the streets andmarch ev-

ery night if that is what we need to do. Atour march last night we were told by gang-sters that they have no plans to stop the vio-lence and that is okay because we aren’t go-ing to give up either,” Pascoe said.Manenberg schools successfully opened

on Wednesday followed by a peace marchon Sunday.

There has been a bump in the road forthe Belcraw CID which plans to estab-lish a Special Rating Area (SRA)

aimed at local businesses.Now in a last attempt at getting a man-

date from businesses to go ahead, the steer-ing committee will go door-to-door to getbusinesses involved.Steering committee chairperson Patricia

Lemmetjies says she took the initiative aft-er a spike in business robberies.“We are in contact with the City of Cape

Town who told us to select a contact groupof 35 businesses. We have sent out emailsinviting them to the meeting, but very fewpeople responded,” she says.The steering committee is in the process

of getting approval and have already estab-lished their boundaries.Thiswill stretch fromBlomvleiRoad into

Crawford.The steering committee held a follow-up

meeting with property owners on Wednes-day 21 January and the poor turnout wasa cause of concern.Ward councillor Anthea Green says that

many people are not aware of what a CIDdoes.“I think the reason for the poor turnout

is a lack of understanding. Just by readingthe invitation you are not sure what it is,”she says.According to the City’s website, a Com-

munity ImprovementDistrict is a non-prof-it company (NPC) controlled by a board ofdirectors, which is made up of propertyowners in a geographically defined area re-ferred to as a Special Rates Area (SRA), inaccordance with the City’s bylaw. Propertyowners living within a CID pay a levy that

is proportionate to the value of their prop-erty for supplementary services, includingsecurity and cleansing.A portion of this is subtracted as an in-

surance in case of financial difficulty ormismanagement.Lemmetjies says businesses stand to ben-

efit most. “We are focussing on the busi-nesses because they are suffering. Some-thing must be done,” she says. There areclose to 500 businesses in the focus area.A CID is also responsible for improving

the overall appearance of the area and arelocal council’s eyes and ears.After the mandate is given, paperwork

will start so that the SRA can be sent forapproval, Lemmetjies adds.This will be followed by the establish-

ment of a board of directors.“The board can be elected or the busi-

nesses candecide to adopt the steering com-mittee as the board,” Lemmetjies says.V If you would like more information on the CID,phone Lemmetjies on 071 050 1941 or email her [email protected].

Motorists are warned to ensure theirvehicles are prepared for their jour-ney, especiallywhenusing theN2and

R300.Various incidents reported on social me-

dia of brick throwing as well as crooks prey-ing on those sitting in vehicles on the sideof the road, have made these two highwaysnotorious.The City of Cape Town has issued a warn-

ing for motorists to be careful when usingthe N2 and R300 as safety on these two roadshas been under scrutiny for a while already.According to the City, the South African

National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral)

and the provincial government are responsi-ble for these roads.And while the police is the lead agency on

crime prevention, council’s enforcementagencies have been acting in a supportingrole where resources have allowed.JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Member

for Safety and Security, emphasises the im-portance ofmotorists checking that their ve-hicles are in good condition before embark-ing on their journeys.“Ensure that your vehicles are in good

condition and that you have enough fuel –61% of all cases where Metro Police ren-dered assistance during December were the

result ofmotorists experiencingmechanicalproblems or running out of petrol,” he says.FromWednesday 26November toMonday

29 December between 19:00 and 06:00, MetroPolice responded to 134 incidents where mo-torists were stranded on the N2 and R300.Officers assisted 55 people stranded due to

mechanical problems, 27 without fuel, 33with faulty tyres, six accidents and 13 otherincidents.“Things can and will go wrong with our

vehicles and sometimes those incidents arebeyond our control. However, our manyyears of traffic enforcementhave also taughtus that vehiclemaintenance is not a priority

for many people,” Smith says.“We will continue to work with the lead

crime prevention agencies to assist motor-ists in distress. We have requested that theFreeway Management System CCTV cam-era operators, under Transport for CapeTown, alert our operational staff about anysuspicious activity so that theymay investi-gate.“I will continue lobbying Sanral and pro-

vincial government as thepartiesultimatelyresponsible for these roads on issues like im-proved fencing, lighting and othermeasuresto deter would-be criminals,” concludesSmith.

BEADWORK AND CLOTHING

Taking local flair to New YorkMANDLA MAHASHE

A project borne out of adversity hasblossomed into one of the most soughtafter brands.

Thobeka Mdiza, owner of Western CapeClothing and Textile Service Centre in Ath-lone, began the To Bead Africa project to fi-nancially assist her sister-in-law.Fastforward to five years later, and Mdi-

za, of Gugulethu, showcases her sought-aft-er designs internationally.She is in the thick of preparations to rep-

resent South Africa at the New York NowShow from Saturday 31 January toWednes-day 4 February.Last year shewas invited to showcase her

wares in Dubai and has been approachedfor more work in United Arab Emirates.“To Bead Africa started as a small project

that I initiated in 2010,” explains Mdiza.When her husband’s brother died, his

widowwas left as the sole guardian to theirseven young children.“I was faced with the challenge of having

to share the small income I was makingwith his [widow].”The ability to communicate only in isiX-

hosa and having no formal employmentmeant the family faced dire straits.“It is unfortunately so difficult for some-

one like her to get a job where success andachievement is measured mainly on educa-tional achievements,”says Mdiza.She decided to organise a group ofwomen

from the Eastern Cape to join her in a busi-ness project.“I bought beads and started designing

small beaded items using thesewomen’s ex-isting beading skills.”The response was so overwhelming that,

over the years, the business has becomemore than just a poverty alleviationproject.It has since extended dress and handbag

designing under the label Potjiekos.The dresses are a combination of various

traditional African clothes.Mdiza says in former years “when men

left their wives in the rural areas to workin the urban areas, they would at times ne-glect them”.The women and children would be left in

devastating poverty and as a result clothingitems would be at the bottom of the prioritylist, she says.“Womenwould use different cloths to cre-

ate clothes for themselves and their chil-dren,” she explains.Mdiza asserts that this is what sets her

dresses apart and why they have attractedinterests from as far as Sweden.“The brand speaks to women across the

spectrum – bottom, middle and successful,”she says.Born in the rural area of Cofimvaba in the

EasternCape,Mdiza is the fourth of six chil-dren.At 14 years , she lost both her parents. Or-

phaned, she and her siblings struggled toget an education.She married when she was 17 years old,

in the hope of alleviating the adversity sheand her family were facing.Then, with the help of her mother-in-law,

Mdiza went back to school and completedher national certificate in commerce at Siv-uyile Technical College in Gugulethu in1990.Today her business employs up to 100

women a contract basis.The women are trained in beadwork, em-

broidery, handmade jewellery and screenprinting.Mdiza says she is looking forward to her

trip toNewYorkandhopes that, just aswithher previous exhibitions, she will make alasting impression.“After getting wonderful feedback in

countries like UAE and Swedenwe are hop-ing that we will impress in the US too andsee our brand grow,” she says.

Nantes. Nantes ‘security’? What a joke! Why

must I rather go to Green Point UrbanPark instead of walking down the street?

. Regarding the security issues aboutNantes. It is a concern and more can bedone. I do not think Nantes is a night-mare. The ward councillor and police canalso do something about that nightmarenext to stadium. Look at all the homelesssouls. Be fair and look at the poor.

Hookah pipes. Tobacco is tobacco. Nicotine is

addictive. Anybody can smoke anything,but do not make me inhale it. Cigarettes,hookah or any form of smoke must belooked at and be contained in a specificarea to not affect the non-smoker. Thehookah pipe is an introduction to smok-ing and trying various mixes of othersubstances in the future. All the tobacco-related incidences at hospital just eats onthe government and that is actually yourtax money. – Bad lungs

. I think children should be protected.

In the township where I live, childrenwho use hookah pipes at a later stagethink much slower than a child who doesnot use hookah pipes.

. It is very sad to see how the childrensit and smoke the hookah pipes, becausethey have nothing better to do with theirlives. And there are many parents whosit and smoke hookah pipes with theirchildren.

It will be very good to take it up withthe Tobacco Control Amendment Act toprotect the children. I would like tothank the environment and healthresearch unit for the good work they aredoing.. Yes, hookah pipes are more dangerousthan cigarettes.. My opinion of the hookah is that youthand adults are using it for all the wrongreasons. Some smoke dagga or drugs inthe pipe.. Please ban all hookah pipes. That iswhere they camouflage the drugs. I haveexperienced it with a lot of people.

. Hookah pipes should not be madelegal. It is extremely bad for your lungsand kidneys as it gets smoked withwater. We should discourage teenagersfrom smoking hookah pipes. – SV

. If cigarette smoking was banned inpublic, establishments should also banhookah pipes and e-cigarettes. Or theyshould provide smoking sections. A bigfuss is made about people who smoke.They do not even cause any fuss whenthey smoke, but nothing really gets donewhen people drink alcohol in publicestablishments. When they drink most ofthe time they end up arguing. You do notsee patrons argue after they enjoyed apuff. – Cape Town. My children have smoked hookah formore than 10 years, but they do notsmoke cigarettes and they hate it whenmy husband and I smoke cigarettes. Ithink it is what you smoke in thehookah flavour or drugs.. Yes, I think hookah pipes and e-ciga-rettes are all the same as cigarettes. Ihate going out to be fed secondhandsmoke when I already have lung issuesfrom the years when people could smokeanywhere.. I am a hookah pipe smoker and so ismy brother and my friends. We do notsee why people have a problem with ussmoking hookah pipes.. Yes, hookah pipes are dangerous. Theyshould be banned from public areas.

Realise a dream for allFor most of us it has been a time toreflect, take stock and make resolutionsto achieve outstanding matters in 2015.We all have dreams of a better life, ourwishes becoming a reality and findingthe pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.For many this is just a repeat of 2014; thesame wishes, resolutions and dreams.

We must break free from the one-mind-ed dream and wish, and let it become the‘us’ dream, the ‘us’ wish and the ‘us‘resolution.

When we start to include others, otherswill include [us].

Our purpose revolves around our fellowman – the homeless, the destitute, theafflicted and the aged.

Let 2015 be the year of contribution;contribution towards the development,upliftment and betterment of our commu-nities.

Let us unite in our fight against crime,

gangsterism and all the social ills thatplague our communities. Let us uniteagainst unjust systems, ungodly behav-iours and bring to book the wolves insheep clothes, who are tasked to deliversocial services to our communities forwhich they are paid.

We call upon community leaders,religious leaders and all those who wantto contribute and give input towards thebetterment of our communities, take eachother by the hand and to unite across theboundaries, learn from each other andshare in the responsibility of the commongoal.

Collectively we can achieve much,dream big and with the help of theAlmighty realise our wishes for 2015.

“It always seems impossible to do, untilit is done.” – Nelson MandelaPastor Paul and Mary Phillips, Park-wood Estate

All to fight crimeWe are barely into the New Year, yetcrime is rampant countrywide.

Though personal safety cannot be 100%guaranteed, individuals can apply safetymeasures to reduce crime.

Be vigilant of your surrounds, whetherat home, school, workplace, cafe, restau-rant, shopping centre, petrol station,parking area or play park.

Be aware of possible danger or threats,or people who look or act suspicious(without being paranoid).

Listen to your intuition.Individuals and businesses should

continuously upgrade their safety meas-ures and the police should use theirresources effectively to apprehendcriminals.

Every South African should make apositive contribution towards fightingcrime.

JOHAN ALBERTSTranslated from Die Burger

Helicopter rescues, dodging flying bullets and facing in-fernos.

These may sound like scenes from the movies, butthese feats make up the average day for many of our emer-gency services crew.

Each day, firefighters, police officers, paramedics andemergency rescue crew put their lives on the line to saveothers. And these acts of bravery are seldom noted or re-warded by the communities they serve.

Even more deserving of our thanks are volunteers fromcharitable organisations who respond in emergencies.

The National Sea Rescue Institute, which runs off thehard work and good deeds of over 900 unpaid crew members;Western Province Lifesavers tirelessly patrol our beaches,keeping swimmers safe, and the Volunteer Wildfire Servi-ces – made up of 180 volunteers who work closely with otheremergency service organisations to extinguish wild fires –are just some of these.

Organisations such as these, as well as essential servicessuch as firefighters, police and paramedics, need our help.

And while we may not all be highly trained emergencycrew, there are numerous ways in which we can lend ahand.

Funding is always in short supply for rescue volunteerorganisations, and donations from the public ensure theyare able to deliver vital services. If you don’t have the mon-ey to give, donate your time by volunteering.

But supporting these volunteers doesn’t stop there – pre-pare yourself, your home and your family for emergencysituations. This includes everything from attending firstaid courses to educating yourself on how to respond in anemergency – what numbers to call, what information to re-port and how to assist those around you until the emergencyservice crews arrive. This information not only makes thechallenging job of the emergency crew easier, but in ex-treme cases could save a life. And it could be yours.

FINANCE

Trim your car budgetThis year is going to hold a few shocks

for households.Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene has

already raised the prospect of taxation in-creases and there are likely to be othersqueezes from consumer price inflation andinterest rates.

One of the good pieces of news is interna-tional petroleum pricing, which hasdropped by a wide margin in the past threemonths.

Predicting where it might go is difficult –even the oil-producing nations don’ seem toknow, but if the price continues to slide andthe Rand/US dollar exchange rate holdssteady, prices at the pumps could drop outof the teens by February.

According to the Automobile Association(AA) trimming your motoring budget in 2015will take a bit more than betting on the fuelprice, but it’s possible, and here’s how:

The first priority is your choice of vehicle.If you’re buying a different car in the hopeof saving fuel, do some calculations. If you

travel the average of 25 000 km a year, a carwhich uses seven litres per 100 km will costyou around R91 000 in fuel over the typicalfour-year financing period. A car which usessix litres per 100 kilometres will use R78 000of fuel over the same period at today’s prices.But if the more economical car costs R50 000extra, you’re still R37 000 worse off over fouryears.

Servicing is one area that motorists oftenneglect when money is short, particularly iftheir vehicle doesn’t have a service or main-tenance plan. But the hard-wearing maximof spending a little to save a lot definitelystill applies. A wheel alignment check maycost you around R300, but if it allows you toget an extra 10 000 km from your tyres,you’ve made your money back a few timesover.

Some of the simplest money-savers costnothing at all, like checking your tyres. Ittakes no more than five minutes to checkthat your vehicle’s tyres are correctly inflat-ed, and if you perform this simple check ev-

ery ten days or so, you not only extend thelife of your tyres and ensure safe roadhold-ing, you also reduce your fuel consumption.

Planning your journeys more carefullycan also save you fuel. Next time you turnthe key, ask yourself whether you couldcombine several short journeys into a singleround trip. Your driving style can have aneven bigger impact. While it’s nearly impos-sible for the everyday driver to save 40% to50% on fuel as one sees on the economy con-tests, a 10% to 20% percent saving is wellwithin your grasp. If you avoid using fullpower regularly and change to higher gears

earlier, you are already on your way to sub-stantial savings. Look further ahead in traf-fic to anticipate traffic lights changing togreen to prevent unnecessary stops. An AAstudy done in the 1980s showed that stoppingfour times per kilometre in a 60km/h zonecan double your fuel consumption. Justthink: a 10% drop in your fuel bill could saveyou over R2 200 a year. The best way to moni-tor your fuel consumption is to keep a log-book. If you take a serious look at ways tocut your motoring costs, the amount of mon-ey you could be saving may come as a pleas-ant surprise.

According to www.wheels24.co.za, Suzuki has launched a budget hatchback, the Celerio,in South Africa at the expense of its cute little Alto range. So, Suzuki now has twosub-R130 000 cars – the Celerio and the Splash, the latter launched in 2014. With twosimilar vehicles sporting minor differences in tech, power and kit, Suzuki hopes to cast itsnet wide to capture buyers in the fierce A-AB segment. PHOTO: QUICKPIC.CO.ZA

SUBARU

Outback rejuvenatedSubaru is launching its fifth-generation

Outbackwith ahost of upgrades that in-clude new styling, more space, better

interior and more safety equipment.Subaru South Africa has already con-

firmed theOutbackwill arrive here towardsthe end of March, with the new Legacy alsoappearing at a similar time, if not slightlyearlier.“We will have the 2.5F petrol, 3.6F petrol

and the 2F diesel – all with CVT available.The range will be in premium guise only,meaning only threemodels in the line-up forSA,” says Subaru South Africa.The Outback was introduced in 1995 and

has since claimed to be “the first crossover”that spawned awhole range of copy-catmod-els.Nevertheless, the automaker says, the

Outback has continued to combine the vir-tues of a tourer with those of a SUV.Second pair of eyesThe automaker adds that the new model

will remain in the same price bracket as theoutgoing version in the UK (the equivalentof R479 500 to R565 200), “despite a generousstandard specification”.New to the latest model is EyeSight, Suba-

ru’s collision-avoidance technology.The system is said to work “as a second

pair of eyes” for drivers through stereo col-our camera technology which sweeps theroad and traffic ahead for hazards.This, claims the company, is the first time

the technology has been made available inthe UK and Europe.EyeSight is standard on ‘auto’ transmis-

sion units and includes autonomous pre-col-

lision braking control and pre-collisionthrottle management, adaptive cruise con-trol and lane-departure and trailer-swaywarning.EnginesTwoengines are available in theUK– each

a horizontally-opposed four-cylinder:there’s a 2F turbodiesel that makes 110kW/350Nm or a normal 2.5F petrol tuned for121kW/235Nm.Diesel units will be offered with either a

six-speed manual gearbox or Subaru’s Line-artronic (constantly variable) transmission;2.5F petrol units come only with the latter.

The nose has an hexagonal grille and“hawk-eye”headlights; theprofile is a subtleevolution of the current Outback.The cabin is said to be more spacious and

furnished with “higher quality” materialsthat result in a much more premium cabincomplemented by a new range of factory-fit-ted infotainment and satnav systems.SpecificationsThere are two trim levels: SE and SE Pre-

mium. Each, Subaru says, offers a generouslevel of equipment.SEmodels can be identified by their diode

headlights (with washers), cruise control,

“active torque vectoring”, 17” alloy rims,heatable front seats, power adjustment forthe driver’s seat, and privacy glass.There is also a seven-inch touchscreen in-

fotainment system with satnav, audio,smartphone connectivity and a rear-viewparking camera.Petrol SE models add engine stop/go sys-

tem and “intelligent drive” – driver-selectedengine modes for differing terrain.SE Premium models add a sunroof, key-

less entry and start button, 18” alloy rims,leather upholstery and a powered tail hatch.– Wheels24.co.za

The Big Walk supports openness and socialcohesion by welcoming all people to partici-pate for charity. The next Big Walk is onSunday 1March at theGreenPointAthleticsTrack. As always, it will continue the tradi-tion of charity, fun and good health for allin the community and the City of Cape Townremains the event’s official strategic part-ner.The entry fee this year is R30 and the 10km

walk starts at 07:30 at the Forecourt at CapeTown Stadium and the route follows BeachRoad, the Sea Point Promenade to the endof the Sea Point Pavilion parking area, be-fore returning to the finish at the GreenPoint Athletics Track near the stadium.Exciting prizes will be drawn on the day.

These include:* 1st Prize: Airline Tickets for two to an

overseas destination* A College educational study course* Two Android Tablets* Other prizes include a number of cell

phones, walking shoes, a 42 inch LCD TVand bicycles.V For more information contact Saaid Waggie on 021637 1607 [email protected].
