VAGRANCY: AIM TO HALT EXPANSION
A real plan of actionASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Council will be pulling out all the stopsto prevent more vagrants from occupy-ing the area next to Palmyra Road and
the Stanhope Bridge in Claremont as a“campsite”.
Ward councillor Ian Iversen says the steepdip down to the railway line has become ahaven for vagrants. “Vagrants camp out inthis area, light fires and certainly litter thearea in a big way. It is always an eyesore.Even though Law Enforcement and socialworkers have tried to intervene the vagrantsjust return,” he says.
Iversen believes the only way to addressthis ongoing problem is to extend the pali-sade fencing along the footpath to the bridgeso the area is cut off and nobody can enter.“The real challenge is to find the necessaryfunding to move this project forward as itcosts about R1000 a meter for the fencing,”he says.
“However, I intend to pull out all the stopsto change the current unacceptable situa-tion.”
Mayoral Committee member for Safetyand Security JP Smith says the City of CapeTown is aware of the issue and has receivedcomplaints from residents and the businesscommunity about vagrants in Claremont.
“The people who live in this area do makefires at night to cook food and to keep warm,so it is entirely possible there will be someimpact on the environment,” Smith says.
However, enforcing the movement ofstreet people is a very complex issue, addsSmith. “In many instances there is a percep-tion that the City can remove street peopleto another location and the problem will beresolved. However, this is easier said thandone, because there are reasons why peoplecongregate in certain areas to begin with,”he says.
Smith says the reasons include the availa-bility of shelters, access to “economic oppor-tunities” in the form of odd jobs, begging orscrap yards in the vicinity and assistancefrom some residents in the areas who offerthem food regularly.
Mayoral Committee member for SocialDevelopment and Early Childhood Develop-ment Suzette Little says council has de-ployed its fieldworkers to the area before toassess the situation. The fieldworkers en-
gaged with the vagrants and offered to takethem to an assessment centre or a night shel-ter. “It must be noted the City cannot forcepeople to take up the offer; this is entirelyvoluntary,” she says.
However, Little says, the City has adopteda policy for people living on the street. Thestrategy is to reduce the number of peopleliving on the street and to place them backwith their families and community of origin.“This is done through a continuum of carewhereby they are assessed at an assessmentservice centre by a qualified social worker.On completion of the assessment, they aremoved to a shelter to enable them to developjob readiness skills and work towards re-in-tegration with their families,” she says.
Part of this integration effort includes at-
tempts to secure employment opportunitiesvia the Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP).
She says last year the City arranged EPWPopportunities for more than 500 street peo-ple to clean parks and cemeteries across themetropole. “We will expand this programmesubject to the availability of funds,” sheadds.
The City also runs a number of pro-grammes in conjunction with the provincialgovernment and NGOs aimed at preventingpeople from ending up on the streets in thefirst place. “Many people are driven fromtheir homes and communities by socio-eco-nomic issues, abuse and broken families. Weare committed to looking at the root causesand addressing them through initiatives
like the ‘strengthening families workshops’where parents and children are taught lifeskills and conflict resolution tools to ensurea more harmonious home environment,” ex-plains Little.
She says they have established the GiveResponsibly campaign, which encouragesthe public to donate money and items to shel-ters and organisations working with streetpeople, instead of giving cash, food and otheritems to street people directly. “This encour-ages street people to remain where they are,instead of turning to shelters and other ave-nues that offer assistance and can help themget back on their feet.”V If you would like to lodge a complaint or for moreinformation contact the City’s call centre on 107 orfrom a landline dial (021) 480 7700.

YOUTH: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT
Fostering a safe havenCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A loving and caring environment is alla child really needs. But notmany chil-dren are afforded this opportunity as
they fall through the cracks of abuse, neglector poverty.Home from Home, a Cape Town-based or-
ganisation, aims to remedy this situation bycreating and placing vulnerable children in-to homes of loving foster parents.Pippa Shaper, co-founder of the non-profit
organisation, says: “Home from Home pro-vides supportive and supervised communi-ty-based foster care for orphaned, abused,neglected and vulnerable children througha network of small, family homes in disad-vantaged communities in the country. Webelieve that living in a small family unitwith dedicated foster parents with no morethan six children, is the best place for chil-drenwhocan’t be cared forby their own fam-ilies.”The organisation has 33 foster homes
across theprovince andplans to extend theirreach.“These are normal families in a normal
home where the child will get sent to fosterparents who can nurture them and providethe loving environment every child needs,”says Shaper.Currently 200 children are part of the pro-
gramme.“We provide and offer all the support the
foster parents may need, including socialwork services.”Shaper says the aim of the organisation is
to provide an alternative home of care toshelter the child from previous abuse andneglect.“The children get placedwithus after they
are referred from a children’s court,” she
says.All parents are screened and background
checks are done as well as training offeredto ensure they can provide a better living en-vironment for the foster children.“If we receive siblings through the chil-
dren’s court, we always place them togetherto maintain the biological family connec-tion,” Shaper says.Everymother receives a grant to help cov-
er the financial costs to look after each child.“As far as possible we ensure there is a
mixture of ages and sexes of children withinthe home, thereby creating as close to ‘nor-mal’ a family environment as possible for allfoster children.”Foster mother Emily Kiel from Ocean
Viewsays: “I enjoyworkingwithyoung chil-dren and had the opportunity to apply for afull-time job that allowed me to live out thisvocation.”With six foster children in her care for
more than one year, Kiel has nurtured themas her own since they were placed into hercare by social services.“Caring for six children is a full-time job.
This was an adjustment in and of itself.(Whether they are a) biological or fosterchild, they require the same love, care andsupport.”Kiel’s biological children are all grown-up
and have since moved out. She is, therefore,able to giveundivided attention to the charg-es in her care.“Watching the children in my care grow
and blossom is particularly rewarding. I sitwith them every day to assist with theirhomework and support them through thechallenges of school life. At the end of theterm or the end of the school year, when thishardworkpays offwith excellent results, (it)is definitely cause for celebration,” she says.Beauty Sqalane fromMasiphumelele is al-
so a fostermother.Whileunable tohave chil-dren of her own, Sqalane says: “I have somuch love in my heart for children. Beinga foster mother has given me the chance toshare this love.”Sqalane says: “This is an opportunity to
share my love with children who, before liv-ing in foster care, have had very difficultlives. The relationships I have formed witheachofmychildren is something that is veryspecial.”Sqalane has been a fostermother formore
than two years.
Home from Home has a specific strategyand approach to follow when setting up anew foster home. Through this approachtheyareable to ensure that there is adefiniteneed in the community for each foster home,that the home is empowered through com-munity groups which support the project,that the home is fully equipped and that fos-ter parents are constantly supported and su-pervised by Home from Home to ensure thechildren receive the best possible care.All foster parents have the opportunity to
network with each other so they may sharetheir experiences, learn from one anotherand share the responsibility of raising theirfoster children.V Donations for Home from Home can be madethrough direct deposits to Home from Home Trust,Nedbank South Africa, branch code 101 109, accountnumber 101 110 9700.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid
Rondebosch police are warning peopleto be more vigilant when using me-tered cabs, especially at night, as a
number of robberies where taxis are in-volved have been reported.Warrant officer Lyndon Sisam, of Ronde-
bosch police, confirmed two incidents ofrobbery where a meter cab taxi was in-volved.During one incident, on Tuesday 4 April
at 13:55, a blue Avanza was used as a geta-way vehicle after a student walking in Lov-er’s Walk was robbed of her cellphone.The suspect fled and jumped into the
Avanza and sped off.“In Mowbray Main Road, near
Thandokulo School on the same day at 18:15a blue Avanza stopped next to the victimand asked him for directions when sudden-ly oneoccupant in the taxi pointeda firearmat him and instructed him to be quiet or hewould shoot him,” Sisam says.The suspects took his cash and passport
and drove away. The victim was also alone
when he was robbed, adds Sisam.Police are not able to say at this stage if
it is a syndicate operating in the police clus-ter. Similar cases have been reported in thepast, but a different vehicle was used.However, the cases are under investiga-
tion and all leads are being followed up.Sisam urges any suspicious behaviour to
be immediately reported to police.“If anyone has more information about
the incidents they are urged to contact thepolice,” he says.Sisam says in the Mowbray incident, the
victim reported that hewas robbed by threemen.In the Rondebosch incident, the victim
said it was one man, but could not confirmthe number of suspects in the vehicle.Sisam says police are conducting joint
high visibility patrols together with exter-nal role players such as Groote SchuurCommunity Improvement District Compa-ny andMetro Police in the problematic are-as.“Vehicle check point and stop and search-
es of suspicious taxi vehicles is ongoing,”he says.
Sisam urges the public to avoid a gaudydisplay of expensive jewellery, cameras,mobile phones and other valuables whenwalking on Main Road.Executive manager of Claremont Im-
provement District Company Abdul Ker-belker sayshe isware of one casewhichwasreported in Mowbray last week.He recommends that commuters should
look out for registered taxis and sedanswhen travelling at night to ensure they aregetting into the correct taxi.“Details of owners should be on the door.
Women should not travel alone when usingpublic transport. They should travel ingroups as there is safety in numbers,” hesays.Shirley Aldum, manager of the Ronde-
bosch Community Improvement District,says they are aware of these crimes, andechoes that it mainly occurs in the MainRoad where the taxis operate.
“We have not received any complaintsfrom residents or the pulbic with regard tothis crime, as the robberies took place onMain Road and not in the residential area,”she says.

In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the City’s Solid WasteManagement Department has printed the letters ‘CCT SWM’ followed by a serial numberin black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can berecognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the Citycontinues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as wellas in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refusebags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with otherbags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste ManagementDepartment’s Cleansing Branch.
Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the City’s SolidWasteManagement branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail [email protected].
If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumpingand dealt with accordingly.
Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line withmaintaining a well-run city.

@FebAtrid
Pinelands police calls on the communi-ty for their assistance in curbingcrime in their area by implementing
the necessary security measures.The biggest concern for the police is the
increase in robberies by different individu-als.Warrant officer Tando Sonjica, spokes-
person for Pinelands police, says duringMarch the precinct has experienced a slightincrease in contact crimes (assault andhouse robberies) and property-relatedcrimes (theft out of motor vehicle and busi-ness burglaries).“We do not have any information indicat-
ing that syndicates are committing thesecrimes in our community,” she says.Sonjica says there is no particular pat-
tern to indicate that specific houses are tar-geted. However, elderly people seem to bemore vulnerable in cases of house robber-ies.“We call on the community to be the eyes
and ears of the police in preventing (crime)and apprehending criminals.”Sonjica says although residents are re-
porting incidents of suspicious behaviour,they could report more such activitieswhich will assist police in their duties.“There are times when we have deter-
mined a link between crimes through fin-gerprints that matched or a particular de-
scription of a suspect given by victims,”shesays.People’s Post reported previously on a
robbery which occurred in Pinelands(“Woman raped during robbery”, Thursa-day 27 March).The 52-year-old woman and her husband
werewatchingTVwhen theywere accostedby twomen wearing balaclavas and gloves,police confirm. Sonjica said the suspectsgained entry to the house through the backdoor which was unlocked.
“We have found that in many incidentswindows were left open and doors were notlocked. We urge people to make use of theiralarm systems, to check that all doors andwindows are locked – whether they are athome or going out,” she says.Sonjica adds that potential criminals will
see anopendoor orwindowas an invitationif residents are negligent.By following these tips Sonjica says the
the community canminimise the risk of be-coming a victim of house robberies, by im-plementing the necessary security meas-ures.“Reporting crime or suspicious behav-
iour is vital in curbing crime in our com-munity,” she says.Sonijica adds that they will deploy addi-
tional resources in terms of the crime pat-tern analysis of the station. “We also urgeresidents to join the Pinelands Neighbour-hood Watch if they would like to get in-volved in crime prevention.”

The Western Cape Touch Rugby Associa-tion has claimed its second National In-ter-provincial Tournament (IPT) title
in just six months.Islanders took the overall title at the South
African Touch Association junior IPT inSeptember and added the senior overall titleto their collection in Durban last month.
Team manager Nadeema Levy says the ti-tles are a result of hard work in the face ofadversity.
“It’s just hard work that makes us win;there is no magic formula,” she says.
“We trained on Sundays, because it’s theonly days players can attend practise. Ourplayers don’t have transport, so we had toarrange lifts and collect people. We don’thave our own field, so we have to move train-ing around to various places. We made sureour sessions are effective and worked hardin the short time we had (to practise).”
Islanders dominated the junior IPT, win-ning the boys under-19, under-17, under-15
and girls under-19 divisions.They also claimed silver in the girls un-
der-15 and bronze in the boys under-21 divi-sions.
Western Cape claimed four medals at thesenior event, winning the men’s open and in-vitational division, and claiming bronze inthe women’s open and mixed open divisions.
Levy says the impressive showing at thesenior IPT left the team “jubilant”, addingthe performance of the women’s teams wasthe biggest achievement.
“At the four previous tournaments, thewomen’s teams didn’t perform but we havereally worked hard to develop and promotethe women’s game,” she says.
“We went from last at the previous tourna-ment to third, building a team from scratch.This was our biggest achievement and thefuture looks brighter for us going forward.”
Western Cape Islanders currently runstouch rugby leagues for around 50 schoolsin across the Cape Peninsula.V Anyone interested in participating in touch rugby,assisting or sponsoring can phone Levy on082 332 5155.
Milano still in the runningMilano United are set to enter the
most crucial period of their Na-tional First Division campaign.
The Grassy Park side are clinging tothird place on the table and the Absa Pre-miership promotion-relegation play-offspot that comes with it.
However, with fourth-placed Jomo Cos-mos and fifth-placed Baroka FC level onpoints and trailing only by goal differ-ence, any slip-ups in the final four gamescould see Milano out of the running.
But coach Theo Hempe believes hisplayers will not fold under the pressure.
“The most important thing is that (ourfate) is in our own hands,” he says.
“We are currently in the second play-offspot but we believe we are better that. Wewill definitely make it to the play-offs.”
Hempe may be certain of sealing thirdplace, but the position is far from sewnup.
Cosmos trail by just three goals, whileBaroka are four away – a gap that couldeasily be closed in the remaining fix-tures.
Meanwhile, Milano’s own form hasbeen far from sparkling.
The Black and Yellow looked like seri-ous title contenders not too long ago, witha healthy lead at the top of the table, buta dip in form has seen them tumble downthe standings.
Last month was a particularly dark pe-
riod for Hempe’s charges, with only threepoints taken from a potential 15.
Milano kicked off the month with a 1-0loss to Santos at home, drew 2-2 away tobottom side Blackburn Rovers, lost 1-0 athome to Vasco da Gama, drew 2-2 awayto Witbank Spurs and repeated thatscore-line against Thanda Royal Zulu.
They finally arrested the slide on Sun-day, winning 1-0 against Sivutsa Stars athome. The victory aside, Hempe believeshis team performed better in their threeaway draws.
“Although the performances weren’tgood, the players grinded it out and gotthe three points,” he says. “That will helpus get to the play-offs and could help usturn the corner completely.”
He adds his players must replicate theaway form and home-field grit in all fourremaining clashes.
“When you score two goals away fromhome you are definitely doing somethingright,” Hempe says.
“We have been playing well, it’s just wehave to play with that same freedom athome again. I’m happy with how the guysare responding.”
Milano will face Maluti FET College inFree State on Saturday, before hostingBlack Leopards on Sunday 27 April, trav-elling to United FC on Sunday 4 May andhosting league leaders Chippa United onSunday 11 May.

No rest for victorious IkeysUCT will launch straight into Western
Province club rugby competition lessthan a week after winning their sec-
ond FNB Varsity Cup title.The Ikey Tigers beat NWU Pukke in the
final in Potchefstroom on Monday night,but will have to keep the celebrations briefahead of their first Super League A fixtureagainst Tygerberg on Saturday.Theymaynot havemuch time to saviour
the victory, but Ikeys will certainly beboosted by the manner of their win.UCT got off to a flying start as a flowing
backline move saw outside-centre HuwJones hit a gap and surge over for the open-ing try.Dean Grant’s conversion attempt hit the
upright to start what would be an incon-sistent night with the boot.
Pukke responded by forcing UCT back-wards and a period of sustained pressuresaw the hosts take the lead when flankRhyk Welgemoed burst through a gap andscrumhalf Tiaan Dorfling converted thetry.They took advantage of theirmomentum
and increased the lead as good hands downthebackline saw leftwingLutherObi scorein the corner.UCT were first to score when the sides
returned from the strategy break, withwing Richard Stewart finishing off a coun-ter-attack after flank Jason Klaasen won aturnover in his 22. Grant was again off tar-get from the kicking tee.UCT received a massive boost when op-
position centre Johan Deysel was yellow-carded for a perceived reckless tackle, but
they could not capitalise before the half-time whistle sounded.Pukke were the next to score, with hook-
er Armand van der Merwe powering hisway over from close range after a series ofstrong drives by the hosts.The try went unconverted and theywere
again reduced to 14 men soon afterwards,when tighthead prop Nhlanhla Ngcamusaw yellow for a high tackle.But Pukke continued scoring despite the
numerical disadvantage, with Dillon Smitscoring a penalty to take the score to 20-10.UCT needed a response to get back into
the game, and got it from a driving maulwith the hard-working Klaasen crashingover to cut the deficit to 20-15.UCTwere cut down to 14men after a cyn-
ical infringement fromwingLihleliXoli on
their try-line andPukke capitalised almostimmediately, with Smit forcing his wayover to extend the lead again.Lock Francois Robbertse seemingly put
the result beyond doubt when he added an-other try soon after, but UCT refused to ac-cept their fate.Michael Botha and Grant hit back with
two quick-fire tries, both of which wereconverted by Grant, before Nathan Nelstruck in extra time to hand the Ikeys thevictory.Grant added the extras to giveUCTto take the final score to 39-33.The fixture against Tygerberg will take
place at Florida Park at 16:00.The other Super League A fixtures will
see Primrose travel to Helderberg, FalseBay visit Victorians and SK Walmers faceUWC in Bellville.
Slave Route Challenge entries openLIAM MOSES
LiamCPT
Runners and walkers of all ages and experi-ence levels are advised to complete their en-tries for the fourth annual Jive Slave RouteChallenge.Online entries for the popular race, of
which People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, opened yesterday (Wednesday) and areexpected to fill up quickly.The race first took place in 2011 and the
challenge has since become a highlight onthe Cape Town sporting calendar. Last yearover 5000 people participated.As usual, the route will take participants
past some of Cape Town’s most importanthistorical sights.Race founder and director Farouk Meyer
says the event is as much about educationas exercise.“The idea was to highlight the slave herit-
age sights because a lot of people don’t knowabout it,” he says.“We have a lot of visitors from up-country
and many international entrants who willbe educated on the slave heritage and cul-ture of Cape Town.”The route will take runners and walkers
pass the Grand Parade, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Slave Lodge andthe Slave Tree Plaque.Racers will also pass several other impor-
tant monuments, run through the Castle ofGood Hope and be able to take in excellentviews of the city from some of its best van-tage points.Participants can enter for one of four dif-
ferent races at event – ahalf-marathon, 10kmrun, 10km walk and 5km run.Meyer says they aim to cater for the entire
family and all ability levels.Last year racers passed through theCastle
soon after starting the race in Darling Streetbetween the Grand Parade and City Hall.The only change to the route will see run-
ners travel throughDistrict Six before head-ing through the fort, to alleviate congestionand allow participants more time for sight-seeing.The section of the race through Pentz
Street, Bo-Kaap has become a fan favourite,Meyer says.“The hills in the race have been the talk-
ing point, with one hill has even been nick-named ‘Koesister Hill’,” he says.“Whenpeople get to the top of Pentz Street,
they have a 360° view of the city and theycan enjoy a free koesister courtesy of the Bo-Kaap community.”The racewill take place onSunday 11May.
Online entries can be completedat www.jive.topevents.co.za.Manual entries open on Monday 14 April
and can be completed at any SportsmansWarehouse store in the province.
