The matter is under investigation by the In- ternal Police Investigation Directorate (Ipid) following an incident involving a young cou- ple and the two officers. Leanne Gordon (22) and her boyfriend, who wishes to remain anonymous, were dining out with friends in Kenilworth recently. After dinner they returned to their cars to find one of their friends had left his cars lights on. Gordon says despite attempts to try and get the car to work the battery had died and the car would not start. She says she went with a friend to get jumper cables at her home. Upon their return, Gordon says, there were two police officers in uniform and another man wearing a Springbok jersey, waiting with her boyfriend and friends. “At no point did any of the three men identi- fy themselves to us,” says Gordon. “They also did not have name badges on. They were quite aggressive and tried to imply the car had been stolen.” After getting the car started, the own- er of the car and another friend left. Gordon and her boyfriend walked down the road to a parking area where their car was parked. When they got to their car her boyfriend told Gordon how aggressive the officers had been while she was away. “As my boyfriend was telling me this the two officers and the man (in the Springbok jersey) walked up to us again. One of the offic- ers asked what we were still doing there, while the other officer walked to my boy- friend, staring him down, trying to provoke and intimidate him. The officer grabbed my boyfriend’s arm, so my boyfriend pulled out of his grip.” They say they had become very scared at the physical turn the incident was taking. “The man who was not wearing a uniform poked me in my back. I told him not to touch me. We immediately left because they had be- come so physical. My boyfriend then called back to them that he was going to report them to the ombudsman,” Gordon says. While driving home on Rosmead Avenue in Kenilworth, heading towards Wynberg, Gor- don says they noticed the police behind them. “They switched on their blue lights and I pulled over. All three of them came to the car,” she says. “I locked my car door (as I was) feeling threatened by them. I rolled down my win- dow and asked what the problem was.” She says the officers claimed her boyfriend had sworn at one of the officers. He denied swearing at the officer and they insisted the couple get out of the car, she says. “We kept telling them we’ve done nothing wrong. One of the officers tried to open the car door, which I had locked. “When he couldn’t get it open he forced his hand through the driver’s side window where I was sitting (and) knocked me in the face. He tried opening the door from the inside. I screamed at them to ‘stop’,” Gordon explains. The couple called their families who came to the scene and convinced the officers to let them follow the police to the station. Gordon says the officers would not say on which charges they wanted to arrest them. “At the police station they cuffed and ar- rested my boyfriend. After two hours they came back saying he was being charged for swearing at the officer, resisting arrest and possession of dagga – which apparently my boyfriend took out his pocket himself and handed to them.” Gordon adds: “While we were there they laughed at my parents and disrespected my boyfriend’s mother. I am really disgusted by the behaviour of the police and the service we received.” Claremont cluster spokesperson Captain Angie Latchman and Ipid national spokes- person Moses Dlamini confirm a case of com- mon assault has been made by Gordon. Latchman says: “An internal investigation has also been launched into the matter by Claremont police and the outcome of this in- vestigation will determine the course of ac- tion under the police disciplinary process.” Latchman explains that police are continu- ously sensitised to comply with the code of conduct as well as to conduct themselves within the ambit of the law. “The police wish to take this opportunity to reiterate that it will not condone any mis- conduct on the part of its members and views this incident in a serious light,” she says.

Recovering from grief’s wounds

Dear reader,

I want to express myheartfelt gratitude to everyone of you who sent meemails in response to lastweek’s ConnectED.Thank you for your love

and compassionate, inspir-ing messages and thankyou for sharing with meyour personal stories of los-ing loved ones.Yourwords have touched

my heart somuch that we are publishingsome of your letters thisweek – andmorein future editions of People’s Post.I hope that sharing these stories might

give others the comfort, hope andstrength that I have drawn from them.Anyone who has been through grief

will know that it is all-consuming; ittakes over your existence and stops youin your tracks.You feel as if you will never overcome

how you feel.There are times you need only solitude

and other times you find your lonelinessunbearable.I’ve learnt that I need both and have let

my family and benevolent friends tugmealong – to an extent.Last week, a good friend of mine suc-

ceeded in convincing me to visit LotusRiver Place where he was hosting a kara-oke for the more than 100 seniors there.Not knowing what to expect and how

I would respond to attending an event ofthis nature so shortly aftermy loss, I washappily surprised to findahomely, clean,comfortable and joyful place.Several of the smiling elderly residents

were singing and dancing, some on thedance floor, the rest in their chairs.They were celebrating life, forgetful of

their ailments and age. The eldest resi-dent there is 102 years old and she walks

with the aid of only a walk-ing stick, smiles, and glad-ly poses for photographs.She sports thick, shinygrey hair.Lotus River Place is also

where many older peoplehave found love and awed-ding is on the cards for onesuch couple, as I was in-formed by JosephineFrenchman.She is one of several

amazing volunteers whogive of their time and love to create thehomely atmosphere that makes this resi-dence different from some others.Unfortunately, and despite my friend’s

noble intentions to distract me from mygrief and see me smile again, I ended upsearching for my late mother’s faceamong the crowd and ended up fleeing tomy car.Hearing about the death of a resident

in one room while a karaoke party wasin full swing elsewhere in the home, con-tributed to my sadness.

It also awakened my realisation thatthis is life and that death is the final chap-ter in the book of life.Knowing this does not in any way di-

minish the pain, but helps to teach ac-ceptance – in tiny parts.I feel very blessed for all the support

I am getting and to have the platform inwhich to – through my writing – processmy emotions. I pray and wish for every-one who is going through bereavementthe same love, support and strength I amgetting.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

NightclubofficiallyclosedTAURIQ HASSEN

BARMOODA in Observatory is under-stood to have played its last song as thecontroversial nightclub is set to remainclosed – for good.

The building in Lower Main Road was pet-rol bombed in June (“Arson attack at Obsnightclub”, People’s Post, 19 June) and thesuspect wanted in connection with the at-tack remains on the run.

Woodstock-based Zhauns Properties ownsthe building Barmooda was in.

The company’s CEO Zhaun Amid-Ahmedconfirms that Barmooda will not be return-ing to their premises.

“As far as we are concerned, Barmoodawill not be re-opening. We are in the processof fixing up the building,” Ahmed says.

He explains that an insurance claim hasbeen settled and a contractor has been ap-pointed who will immediately start work atthe site.

Ahmed says: “We are not quite sure whatthe building will be used for in the future.That will be discussed after the building hasbeen repaired.”

Ursula van Stavel, the Chief Operating Of-ficer for the Observatory Improvement Dis-trict (Obsid), explains that Zhauns Proper-ties has been approached to address thebuilding when the new information surfacedaround the future of the building.

“We requested that an update on the build-ing work be provided and they informed usthere are some challenges, but the club willmost likely not return,” she says.

According to Van Stavel, building man-agement indicated that Barmooda could pos-sibly be replaced with a family-style restau-rant, earmarked for opening in Januarynext year.

She adds that the building’s owners hadpromised to fix up the property by lastmonth, but due to insurance problems thishas not happened.

Surrounding business owners had mixedemotions around Barmooda not re-opening

in Observatory, but remain focused on theirown establishments.

Businessman Richard Gatland feels thatremoving Barmooda could potentially im-prove Observatory’s nightlife activity.

“This club has been raided plenty of timesfor various contraventions and now with itgone, people can no longer point fingers atBarmooda, but rather look at their own es-tablishments,” he says.

Another business owner, who wishes toremain anonymous, is sad about the club’sclosure but feels Observatory is “moving inthe right direction”.

“There is possibly a good reason why theclub is not returning, because it was alwaysbeing scrutinised by the community andthere were always problems around it,” shesays.

“It does not mean to say that because Bar-mooda is no longer here in Lower Main Roadthat the area will be problem-free. We asowners should ensure that our establish-ments are run properly.”

The controversial nightclub is said to haveprovided residents with sleepless nights asthe club sent pounding music into the other-wise peaceful air above the neighbouringresidential areas (“Club has Obs localscounting sheep”, People’s Post, 13 November2007).

Meanwhile, Woodstock police are lookingfor Nasiet Haywood, wanted in connectionwith the bombing.

Police alleged Haywood entered the club,threatened workers and tied them up beforesetting the club alight.

Sergeant Hilton Malila, the spokespersonfor Woodstock police, considers Haywood as“armed and dangerous”. The suspect is be-lieved to be in the Goodwood, Maitland andSummer Greens areas.

Police are requesting anybody with infor-mation on the case to contact the investigat-ing officer, Warren Smith, on 0 (021) 4862863 or Crime Stop on 0 086 001 0111.People’s Post attempted to track down the

owner of Barmooda, Reon Heckrath, but wasunsuccessful at the time of going to print.

Hard to swallowCAPE TOWN and Durban residents couldsoon have to drink water recycled fromsewerage works as this resource becomesmore scarce.

The director of the Department of WaterAffairs, Johan van Rooyen, has reportedly

said these two cities were flushing large vol-umes of domestic waste water into the oceanwhen it could be recycled and consumed asdrinking water.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini and

Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn polled readers fortheir views and took the photos.

WHERE’S THE PROOF? Tamsyn Burger saysthere must be proof recycled water is safe todrink. “That is disgusting. We might get dis­eases and there is no proof that it will be 100%clean.”

DISEASE OUTBREAK: Kyle Jacobs believesthis could cause diseases. “My main concernis that this would increase the rate of cholera.Recycled water should be used for gardeningand not human consumption.”

HEALTH CONCERN: Florence Murray says therecycling of water for human consumption iswrong. “I don’t think it is right for people todrink that water because it will make themsick.”

ONLY IF IT IS SAFE: Patrick Eckhardt is ques­tioning the safety of drinking recycled water.“On a hygiene level, will it be safe for publicconsumption? If it is suitable then I have noproblem with that.”

EDUCATION: Leigh Tuckniss sayswater is a ba­sic need and everyone has a right to clean wa­ter. She adds that the resource should not betaken for granted. “The government shouldhave better programmes educating people onthe importance of saving water.”

WON’T TASTERIGHT: Luyarida Sitwayi says themere thought of drinking water recycled fromsewerage makes him feel uncomfortable. Sit­wayi adds that the quality of the water will beaffected. “I don’t think people would want todrink it, just because they knowwhat has beendone to it. The colour of thewater and the tastewill be affected.”

ON TAP: Minnie Johson says the idea of drink­ing recycled seweragewater is disgusting. Shethinks it is unhealthy to recycle sewerage wa­ter and use it for drinking water; even bottledwater doesn’t appeal to her. “I prefer to drinktap water because it is natural and tastes bet­ter.”

WON’T HAPPEN: Ryan Faber doesn’t think thegovernment will implement the plan to recyclesewerage water. He says the governmentshould “get people who are willling to try thewater before we drink it. Otherwise everyonein Cape Town could get sick”.

A YOUNG construction worker waskilled when a wall collapsed.

Sandiso Jajini (20), of Philippi, died onTuesday after sustaining injuries at aconstruction site in Lower York Road,Mowbray.

Andre Visser, ER24 spokesperson, saysJanjini died after a structural wall col-lapsed.

“The events leading up to the incidentare unclear. The man was supposedlystanding in a trench when the brick wallfell on top of him,” he says.

According to Visser, when paramedicsarrived at the scene Jajini had been re-moved from under the pile of rubble.

“The worker had sustained fatal crush-

ing injuries and was later declared deadat the scene. The incident will be investi-gated by the appropriate authority,” headds.

Police reports confirm that Jajini anda group of fellow construction workerswere busy with a demolition when thewall collapsed.

Captain Angie Latchman, spokesper-son for the Claremont Cluster, says cir-cumstances surrounding the incident re-main unclear, but they do not suspectfoul play.

She also adds that an inquest case hasbeen registered at Mowbray police and isbeing investigated.People’s Post tried to gain comment

from Jajini’s family, but was unable to doso at the time of going to print.

New top cop for Pinelands policeTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

PINELANDSPolice Station has anew officer in charge.

Colonel Andre Deon Anthony Co-etzee will be heading up the Pine-lands policing precinct.

Coetzee has been appointed as thenew acting station commander ofPinelands Police Station effectiveMonday 1 October.

Coetzee, who was previously sta-tioned at Cape Town Central PoliceStation before being deployed toPinelands, has taken over the reinsfrom Captain Anthony van derBerg.

Van der Berg was in the role ofacting station commander after itwas announced that Colonel Ber-

nice Josephs had been moved toKensington.

This came as a result of a “criticalneed” at that police station.

Warrant Officer Tando Sonjica,spokesperson for Pinelands PoliceStation, says: “Everyone at the sta-tion welcomes Colonel Coetzee asthe new station commander.”

WhenPeople’s Post asked Coetzeehow he felt about taking over therole as station commander, heshowed an enthusiastic attitude to-wards tackling the concerns in thearea.

“We have to look at the need ofthe station,” says Coetzee.

He adds that most of the crimesreported at the station are property-related.

Coetzee says he plans to address

the problems in the precinct byidentifying the needs and then cre-ating a feasible plan which will helpimprove the relevant crime statis-tics.

He says: “There are a lot of houseburglaries and vehicle thefts in thearea. We need to try and stabilisethose crimes first and then see if itwill have an effect on the statistics.”

In his role as station commanderCoetzee aims to ensure peace ofmind among residents by creatinga safe environment.

“Our work is all about creatingan environment in which the com-munity feels safe to move around,”says Coetzee.

John Berry, chairperson of thePinelands Community Policing Fo-rum (CPF), says although they have

only interacted with Coetzee at theCPF meeting which he attended, hehas the full support of the CPF.

“We welcome the new stationcommander with open arms and welook forward to a successful work-ing relationship between the policeand CPF,” says Berry.

He also says that he is looking for-ward to working with the police totackle specific crimes during thenext year.

“We need to make sure all our res-idents are aware of crime and thatthey are always mindfull of what isgoing on around them,” he says.

He adds: “I think negligence – es-pecially where theft out of motorvehicles are concerned, as well ashouse break-ins – will be a priori-ty.”

My Journey of HopeANNE SIROKY

WHAT sheer peace as threedays unfold for my first mo-torbike ride as pillion fromBethlehem to Ficksburgand Fouriesburg.

We overnighted at the HoekFontein Ox Wagon Camp Na-ture Reserve after outreachesat two community churches.The humility of the people

was mind-blowing. Sundaysin rural communities still rep-resents dressing up and goingto church. Pastors, elders andfamilies gather and we cityslickers can only marvel asthey sing in unity to givethanks and listen the stories ofbreast cancer survivors.We arrive at the nature reserve in dark-

ness. We are welcomed by the smell ofbraaivleis and, later, camp in ox wagons –our beds kitted with a pillow case personal-ised with the names of each breast cancersurvivor’s name embroidered on them.Travelling toClarenswith theGhost Rider

as pillion was truly remarkable. Over 500people experienced the impact as breast can-cer survivors Nonki Rampoporo, TimothyMlenje andLorraineLeburu spoke of the dis-ease.Timothy gave men in the audience a new

perspective on how they, too, could be affect-ed by breast cancer.Hehad a strongmessage formen; that they

must support their wives, children andmothers – as some men tend to see the dis-ease as a curse which gives them reasonenough to abandon them.Journey of Hope spokesperson KathyMal-

herbe showed the community how to test forlumps. Their facial expressions spoke of theenthusiasm to participate in the newness oftouching under their armpits and to do cir-cular movements around their breasts.The Journey of Hope (JOH) team then en-

gaged in personal talks with women in thecommunity. Each woman could choose anew or second-hand bra that JOH survivors

hand out after demonstratingthe importanceof how towearthe bra; the right fit can giveawomanrenewedconfidence.That night, our hotel stay

was a far cry from the ox wag-on lodging where we experi-enced kraal life: carrying ourlukewarm water, filling abucket and operating it witha string to shower under theopen skies.At dinner we celebrated

Nonki’s birthday. A cake wasbaked and she was presentedwith sparkles; everyonejoined in to sing Happy Birth-day and her face lit up.The next morning we head-

ed for our new destination:the Golden Gate Highlands

National Park. The mountains catch the eyeandwe stopped for a photo shoot and enjoyedsweet strawberries, soaking up the magic ofthe morning. We held hands and everyonelifted up their loved ones and friends inprayer, remembering why we are on thisJourney of Hope. Then it was on to Phutha-ditjhaba.AtMotekaHighSchool,we reached750 people, and then left forHigh School Kgo-la Thuto. The pupils made a special requestto see the bikers rev their engines.Our last journey was at malls in Phutha-

ditjhaba and Harrismith. I did some ballsskills and taught juggling to the people, andeven workers on lunch participated in thesports and recreational games.As I amabout to closemy eyes, I thankGod

for the past few days.. Journey of Hope is a motorcycle ride un-

dertaken by, among others, a group of cancersurvivors. The ride goes through parts of thecountry and ended on Saturday 13 October.SA number one volleyballer Anne Siroky wasthe Shoprite Checkers SABC2 Woman of theYear for Sport 2007, Western Cape winner forthe Old Mutual Sowetan SABC CommunityBuilder of the Year 2007 and a recipient of theImvusa Foundation’s Community SpiritAward.

New traffic lights to save City millionsLIAM MOSES

THE installation of new energy-efficientLED lights will save the City over R2,5ma year on electricity bills.

The bulbs have been installed in the traf-fic lights.The upgrade started in 2005 – first switch-

ing from 75 watt incandescent light bulbs tohalogen lamps and switching lamps whichhad 70 LED’s in each.Now all 1 378 traffic signals in Cape Town

have been changed to high-tech, energy-effi-cient lamps which have only three LEDs

each.BernardOosthuizen, operationsmanager

for traffic signals, says the new lights willcut the City’s electricity bill greatly.“We will pay about a seventh of the elec-

tricity bill that we used to,” says Oosthui-zen.“We are saving 3 900 megawatt hours a

year. Overall with maintenance and elec-tricity together, it’s a massive cost saving.”One megawatt hour is equivalent to the

average amount of electricity that 330 SouthAfrican houses use in one hour.The R2,5m saving has been calculated us-

ing the bulk cost of electricity paid by the

City. It would increase to around R4,5m ifit was calculated using the retail price.The newbulbs cost R500 each, significant-

ly more than the R18 which was paid foreach halogen lamp and half of the R1 000which was paid for the older LED lampswhich had 70 LEDs in each.Oosthuizen says the City will also save by

not having to purchase as many lamps asbefore and because the LED lamps requireless labour.“The other major thing is the lifespan,”

says Oosthuizen.“The halogens and incandescent lights

had to be changed every three months, so

you can imagine the labour involved.“The LED’s lifespan is about five years.

If this goes faulty within five years then thesupplier must give us a new one with a newdate of manufacture and if that goes withinfive years I will give that back as well.”He adds that the LED lampswill also have

to be replaced less often because they aremore resistant to water damage.They are still able to function perfectly

even if one of the three LEDs in the lampfuses.The City announced the completion of the

traffic signals upgrades at the Traffic Sig-nals Depot in Ottery on Tuesday.

Blind cricket team prep for world cupLIAM MOSES

THE South African blind cricket teamhave geared up preparations for the inau-gural T20 World Cup to be held in India.

Selected from clubs around South Africalast month, the 17-man squad assembled inGrassy Park for a training camp at the week-end. The team trained at Fairmount HighSchool on Friday.

Coach Armand Bam says most of the workwas aimed at increasing their fitness andsharpening basic skills.

Bam adds they also discussed team strate-gy. “We have a month to go. Everyone hasbeen training in their own provinces. Now itis a matter of consolidating and making sureeveryone understands what we need to dowhen we get to India.”

Bam’s team also took part in a gym sessionat the League of Friends of the Blind (Lofob)in Klip Road before taking to the field.

The current SA side – made up of blind andpartially sighted players – include two play-ers from the team which won the inauguralBlind Cricket World Cup in 1998, also in In-dia.

Some of the team also took part in a seriesagainst Pakistan in 2010.

Bam feels that youngsters give his team anedge over the other nine nations competingin the tournament.

“I think we are actually going to do verywell. We have a team with a lot of experienceand a good balance of youth as well,” saysBam.

“There is a nice mixture and balance,which is different from a lot of the other coun-tries. I think most of the other countries’ play-ers are coming to the end of their playing ca-reer and they have more senior players thanwhat we have.”

He says teams from the sub-continent willbe South Africa’s most difficult opposition atthe tournament.

“Our biggest competition is going to be Pa-kistan and India also have home ground ad-vantage. They are very familiar with theirsurrounding and the conditions of the pitch-es. Those are really the two countries are go-ing to be our stiffest competition.”

The squad will assemble on Thursday 15and Friday 16 November for a training camp.They leave for India on Monday 26 Novem-ber.

A final training camp will be held in Banga-lore on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 No-vember before the tournament kicks off onSaturday 1 December.

The team currently does not have a sponsorand the management team has been hard atwork raising the R500 000 needed to travel toIndia.

Potential sponsors can contact Lofob on0 (021) 705 3753.

Seven associations from all overthe country participated in theJIPT, with the Western Provincepalming the overall trophy.Western Cape Islanders touch

ter people and create a vibrant, butexciting (time) for the players,mak-ing them want to return to thefield.”At this year’s JIPT, hosted at Zoo

ing forwardandwehope togetmorewomen involved in the sport and al-so to keep the players playing,” hesays. CHAMPIONS: The girls under­17 team show off their gold medal for their performance at the JIPT.

Hanover Park crowned champsLIAM MOSES

A STUNNING second-half comebacksaw Hanover Park FC claim victoryoverHeathAthletic in the final of theCoke Cup at Athlone Stadium on Sat-urday.

Hanover Park went into the half-timebreak trailing on the score board andsecond best in the possession and terri-tory stakes, but a vastly improved sec-ond stanza showing saw them turn thegame around.

Sam Anthony, the team’s head coach,says his players were inspired to victoryafter they were reminded of their re-sponsibility to the Hanover Park com-munity.

“It means so much to these young-sters, the under-19 boys who played inthe Metropolitan Premier Cup, and obvi-ously our community as well,” says An-thony.

“We have all the trouble in HanoverPark, but we showed that there is muchmore than what we are known for. Thereare football people who want to succeedas well.

“That most definitely motivated myplayers. In adversity you succeed, andthat is what I said to them at half-time.I told them to get out there and make thepeople of Hanover Park proud. I thinkthat’s what spurred them on in the sec-ond half.”

Neither Heath nor Hanover Park tookcontrol of the game during the first fewminutes, and they traded blows withoutfinding the knockout punch for 25 min-utes. But as the game wore on, Heath be-gan to dominate, taking the lead in the36th minute after winning a free kick onthe left flank of their opponent’s half.

The ball was crossed into the box, to-wards the far post, and Lee Dames rose

above a pack of opposition players andteammates to head the ball past HanoverPark keeper Wesley Seconds.

Both teams fashioned chances to scorein the rest of the half, but were foiled bylast-ditch defending.

Hanover Park took control of the gameimmediately at the start of the secondhalf and found the equaliser in the 57thminute after a period of sustained pres-sure on the Heath defence. The ball wascrossed into the box from a corner andGanief Karriem headed it home unchal-lenged.

Around 16 minutes later Karriemscored again to put his side in the leadfor the first time. Heath Athletic keeperRiedwaan Okkers fumbled the ball aftera harmless shot from the edge of the boxand Karriem was on hand to tap it in.

Heath would not accept the defeat andthey restored parity in the 86th minutewhen a long ball over the Hanover Partdefence found Dames in space and withonly one defender present. After allow-ing the ball to bounce, he struck it a vol-ley past Seconds with his first touch.

The game seemed destined for extratime, but a controversy in the finalminute saw Hanover Park regain thelead.

The referee awarded a contentiouspenalty and Clinton Roberts sent Okkersthe wrong way before confidently nudg-ing the ball into the right corner.

Anthony believes his team wereslightly overawed by the occasion in thefirst half, but settled in the second oncethey tuned out all of the other distrac-tions.

“In the first half most of our youngboys were nervous and they had to over-come what is happening around themand focus on what is happening in thegame. That is what we did in the secondhalf.”
