Carbo Stop Fat-Stop

Fat-Stop and/or Carbo-Stop

stops your body from absorbing carbohydrates from the food that you eat and stops

your body from absorbing fat from the food that you eat. These two products can be used in two ways:

Research has shown that if these two products are taken with

the Turbo Trim weight Loss Program, they will almost double the rate at which you lose weight because

even if you are sticking to a healthy way of eating, there are still a certain amount of fat and carbohydrate

in the food that you eat, so taking the Fat-Stop and Carbo-Stop will ensure that you absorb even less from

your food and lose even faster. We all know that even with the best

intentions, most people are likely to have periods when they go overboard and eat food that is too high in

fats or carbohydrates. All you do is take a few extra before eating pizza,

chocolates or going to a party and you can get away with 'cheating' and not pick up weight. These two

products are your 'insurance program' to ensure that you never pick up weight ever again!!

The search continues for the six-year-oldgirl who went missing from her homeon Sunday last week.

The residents of Hanover Park have beenon a frantic search since then when Sasha-Lee November, the youngest of five children,went missing while playing in front of herparents’ home in Groenal Walk.

Search efforts continued all week to findthe girl affectionately known as Meisie.

On Friday last week, community mem-bers held a night vigil, sending out prayersand words of encouragement for the safe re-turn of the girl.

Hanover Park Civic Association spokes-person Igshaan Nazier, who coordinated asearch, says they started searching forSasha on Monday morning, the day after herdisappearance.

“Her parents last saw Sasha round about

16:00 on Sunday. She was reported missingthe next morning. We started our search at10:00 the same day she was reported miss-ing,” he says.

Nazier adds she was playing with friendsin the road when she went missing.

“Her parents said the last time they sawher was just after 16:00 on Sunday and didnot know she went missing at the time. Theythen went to Philippi police station the nextmorning to report her missing,” he adds.

Sasha’s eldest sister Jasmine Harris (27)says the family is hurt by the disappearanceof her sibling and that speculations abouther disappearance have added salt to thewound.

“We are anxious for the return of our sis-ter. People have been spreading rumourssaying we know where she is and that wefound her in our bathroom a long time ago.What do they think of us? We would neverhurt our own blood,” she says.

Sasha’s brother Fabian Williams (24) says

he just wants her “to return home safely”.“We have been looking for her for nearly

a week and we just want her back already.The support from the community has beenamazing and we are grateful for all dona-tions received and moral support offered,”he says.

The siblings add that their home has hada very sombre atmosphere since Sasha wentmissing.

“Our 10-year-old brother doesn’t evenwant to be in the house because he says oursister isn’t here. He is very hurt by it andthe atmosphere at home is just not thesame.”

The family has expressed heartfelt thanksto the community for assisting in the searchsince Monday.

“Since the search started we have re-ceived overwhelming response from thecommunity. We appreciate the support andall donations received during this tryingtime.”

Philippi police spokesperson LieutenantLance Goliath confirms Sasha was reportedmissing at his station.

“This office confirms that a six-year-oldgirl of Groenal Walk has gone missing onSunday 3 May at about 16:00,” he says.

He adds residents, family and many orga-nisations, including the local communitypolice forum, police, Pink Ladies, neigh-bourhood watch and other law enforcementagencies, got involved in the search.

“The missing child was last seen playingwith friends about a block away from herhouse. We are following up on all leads andinformation,” Goliath confirms.

A joint operations centre has been estab-lished at the Philippi police station.

At the time of going to print Sasha was notyet found, Nazier confirms.V Anyone with information may call the joint operationcentre on 021 690 1500 or 08600 10111. Alternatively,call the investigating officer Constable Keith Wakefieldon 083 471 4716.

SOUTH PENINSULA

Two of the fires ‘were arson’It seems that the fires that ravaged the south-ern peninsula in March were started acci-dentally and on purpose. The different

large-scale fires had separate causes, an ex-pert has found.This is according to a statement by the City

of Cape Town.The City’s fire and rescue service, disaster

risk management staff and volunteers, TableMountain National Park, Working On Firevolunteers, wild land fire services and volun-teer wild fire services all came together tominimise the damage and save lives, propertyand the environment. It is provisionally esti-mated that it cost the ratepayer betweenR20mand R40m.Once the fire had died down, the City com-

missioned an investigation by local forensicinvestigator DrDavidKlatzow. Thiswas donein order to minimise the possibility of repeti-tion by looking into the cause of the fires. Fol-lowing are excerpts from his investigative re-port.

Causes of the fire“On Sunday 1 March, a fire which appears tohave originated at the apex of the mountainpeaks above St James in the southern penin-sula broke out. It rapidly advanced with astrong south-easterly wind andwithin a shorttime had traversed Ou Kaapse Weg and effec-tively did not stop until reaching Hout Bay.“Early on in the investigation I had identi-

fied the general fire origin as being on thecrest of Pecks Valley at a position just out ofsight of the road through St James.“On ascending the peak from Boyes Drive

on 19March, I observed a shelter of sorts withsigns of human habitation. There was a par-tially burned blanket, together with clearsigns of fire-making and smoking materialand two lighters. There is little doubt that themain fire which burned across to Hout Bayhad its origin in or near this rock shelter andthat its cause was human agency.“It is important to note that the other possi-

ble causes of fire, weather conditions and ab-sence of electrical causes could be excluded inthis case.“The use of this part of the mountain for

various informal activities is well-known tothe local inhabitants. Further observations

regarding the presence of religious groupson the mountains at night was also provid-ed by residents and a professor of theSchool of Architecture at the University ofCape Town.“The possibility that this fire may have

been deliberately started cannot be ruledout, but in my view seems unlikely.”

Details of the fires“Generally, a fire such as that occurring onthe mountain above St James will largelyconform to the standardburnpatternof firesof its type.The shape and ferocity of this type of fire ismodified both up and down by factors suchas exact nature of the fuel source, the topog-raphy of the fire terrain and, most impor-tantly, the wind. Generally, a fire will pro-ceedmost rapidly in the direction of the pre-vailing wind.“Fires spread slowly in a lateral direction

and evenmore slowly against the prevailingwind.“Given this anatomy of a fire, it is some-

what concerning to note the rapid spread offire towards the west. In this context, the ob-servations made by a resident of Fish Hoekare most informative. He observed throughbinoculars that a group of people who werecarrying torches were setting fires on themountainside. They set one fire and whenitwent out, they returned to re-ignite it. Thiswould be a very plausible explanation forthe seemingly rapid spread towards thewestwhich is in contrast to the normal fire pat-tern expected from the position of the source

and the prevailing wind conditions.“I also considered the fire which occurred

along the road out of Scarborough.This occurred late in the afternoon. Its po-

sition and timing suggest very strongly thatthis is again of human origin. Therewere nopotential electrical causes present.“It has the typical anatomy of a single ori-

gin fire and it can be seen that its origin isa metre or two off the road.“It is my opinion that the probabilities in

this case favour a deliberate human causa-tion.”

Conclusions. “St James and Southern Peninsula: Thefire which started at the top of Pecks Valleyabove St James was in all probability acci-dentally caused by vagrants, religiousgroups or overnight campers.”. “Clovelly: The fires burning along theseslopes weremost likely caused by deliberatehuman agency with the view of starting alarge-scale fire.”. “Scarborough: The fire along Scarbo-rough Road wasmost likely caused by delib-erate human agency with the view of start-ing a large-scale fire.”

Fire­safety tips.No fires are allowed on themountain

fringeareas, except in specificallydemar-cated areas and pre-authorised areas. Ifyou are unsure whether fires are allowedin an area, do not make a fire.

. Do not discard burning cigarettesfrom your car. They are pollutants andcan cause vegetation fires. Dispose of cig-arettes in the car’s ashtray.

.Ensure that fire hydrants remain un-obstructed at all times, especially byparked vehicles. Tampering with hy-

drants can delay a firefighter’s ability tobring a fire under control.

. Ensure that your braai fire is com-pletely extinguished before leaving areaswhere fires are allowed.

.Keep ignition sources such asmatch-es and lighters out of the reach of chil-dren.

. Comply with the legal requirementsfor burning vegetation off-cuts (visithttp://bit.ly/1Qm7SFj for more informa-tion).

Watch the mags on that car, say policeASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAsttrid

Several car owners have reported thattheir cars’ mags have been stolen andthe bodies of their cars severely dam-

aged in the process.Warrant officer Keith Chandler of the

Diep River police station says six cases ofstolen propertywere reported in the last twoweeks.“Weare aware of this trend andare closely

monitoring it through our investigations,”he says.Chandler says the cases reported came

from four residents in Meadowridge, one in

Constantia and one in Plumstead.“We are, however, monitoring the Wyn-

berg, Kirstenhof, Bergvliet and Upper Wyn-berg communities as well,” Chandler says.He says it does not mean that the theft is

only occurring in these three reported areas,but could occur in the neighbouring commu-nities too.“We cannot say it is an isolated crime only

focused on the Diep River precinct, but weare definitely broadening our investigationsto see if it has occurred anywhere else andperhaps we can find a link,” he says.Chandler says the incidents occur mostly

during the early hours of the morning andin vulnerable spots. “We find that the vehi-

cles targeted are the ones parked in a drive-way that has no form of security wall or gateor in the street,” he says.The value of the mags stolen are between

R5000 and R20 000.“Some of the tyres and mags can go for

about R4500 per set. Obviously there is amarket for this kind of goods, which is whythis type of crime is being carried out,” hesays.Chandler says what is concerning to the

police as well as residents is the state inwhich the cars are left after the tyres andmags have been removed.“It seems to us like the suspects jack the

car up, remove the tyres and the mags and

drop the car flat on the ground,” he says.Chandler says keeping into account the

value of the mags the car owners now alsoneed to fork out cash to pay for the damageto the body of the vehicles.“One particular make of a vehicle is popu-

lar, which is theGolf GTIwith run-flat tyres,as these tyres andmags come at an extreme-ly high price,” he says.Chandler urges residents to report suspi-

cious behaviour and to monitor their carsand carefully consider where to park them.“Residents need to ensure that their cars

are parked in a safe place to deter criminalsfrom attempting to try and steal their prop-erty.”

Cars’ tyres and mags are the target of thieves in many communities. PHOTO FOR ILLUSTRATION

Peninsula’s waterways become ‘roads’It is time to take to the canals for theannualPeninsula Paddle.The Peninsula Paddle coincides with

World Environment Day (5 June) and thefirst substantial rains of the winter season.The sixth Peninsula Paddle takes place onSunday 7 June. More than 120 people havesince 2010 braved the adventure through thecanals, marshes, rivers and sea from Muiz-enberg to Milnerton.The route begins at the mouth of Zandvlei

river and takes the paddlers through vari-ous canals to reach Princess Vlei by mid-morning. From here the paddlers take theirkayaks by road transport to Sybrand Parkwhere they will re-enter the canal and pad-dle down theBlackRiver, out to sea atWood-stock beach, and finally end up, via the DiepRiver at Milnerton lagoon, at the MilnertonCanoe Club.This year, the route is slightly shorter to

accommodate more paddlers.Since 2013 some of the waterways are in

a much better condition thanks largely tothe City of Cape Town’s Kader Asmalproject, an initiative started by the mayorin 2011. The project is a public works pro-gramme that employs over 100 people to

clean and restore the waterways.The Black River, once choked with weeds,

now forms one of the most navigable sec-tions of the Peninsula Paddle. Hundreds of

flamingoes and other wetland birds feed onthe nutrients in the river bed because theyare able to see through the water without in-vasive weeds obstructing their view.

Every year the Peninsula Paddle deliverstwomessages: “The health of the city is seenin its waterways” and “Everyone is connect-ed to these waterways”.This year the event will raise funds to in-

stall new digital water monitoring systemsat ten sites along the route. Water qualitywill be captured every 30 minutes. It will al-so enable researchers, City officials and in-terested groups to track the conditions anduse the information to improve investmentsin the restoration work. The organisers areappealing to businesses and individuals topurchase one or more of these instrumentsat a cost of R10 000 each. These monitoringstations will be managed by UCT.The Paddle is organised by volunteers

who are all actively involved in various en-vironmental organisations and other formsof social activism.The Paddle is organised by the Friends of

the Liesbeek, an NPO with an interest in re-storing rivers and providing public educa-tion on urban rivers.V For more information and contact details or to regis-ter for the event, visit the website www.peninsulapad-dle.wordpress.com. There is no cost to participate butyou do need a kayak.

Transformers lift like feathersThe City of Cape Town goes to great lengthsto ensure regular infrastructure mainte-nance is done. The acquisition of three newcrane trucks for this purpose – the first oftheir kind in South Africa – is the latestmove by the City.“With the strain that Eskom’s loadshed-

ding places on infrastructure, it is more im-portant than ever that the City provides avigilant system of maintenance with thebest resources possible,” says Ernest Son-nenberg, mayoral committee member forutility services.When the department’s existing fleet

needed replacement, the City recognised theopportunity to buy superior technologymodels.The vehicles’ primary function is to per-

form maintenance on electrical infrastruc-

ture, namely the installation and relocationof hefty components such as transformers,mini-subs and ring main units. These unitsare sometimes not easily moved or lifted.The new trucks are designed to transporttransformers, mini-subs, ring main units,concrete slabs and six-foot containers.“Previously, this would easily have re-

quired the efforts of two or three trucks. Thenew trucks mean lower fuel consumption,fewer drivers, less maintenance and a swift-er operation in general, which means moretime and manpower to see to other con-cerns,” says Sonnenberg.The crane component of the truck has a

24.5 metre reach with a lifting capacity of 55tons/metre and is equipped with the latestelectronic devices and control systemswhich constantly monitor conditions.

“In certain older suburbs, it is very trickytoaccess transformers. Staff find themselveshaving to park on the street and access atransformer on a property on the other sideof a fence. These cranes are able to lift themover these obstacles,” says Sonnenberg.While the trucks are no slouch when it

comes to heavy lifting, they tread remarka-bly lightly on the environment. The loadbody design is such that it contains any oilleakage from transformers during transitand therefore guards against environmentalpollution as well.“A primary concern is the safety of our

staff. The advanced technology provides anadvanced level of safety and the operatorsare given total control over the crane,” saysSonnenberg.Each truck came at a cost of about R3.4m.

May I caution against the need to labeland medicate any and every perceived“abnormality.” There is an entire indus-try that will gleefully accommodate yourevery twitch. Read voraciously, researchyour concern, talk to others, spend time

with. That is, spend time with your teen,not the perceived condition. A loving par-ents’ instincts are seldom far off the mark.

May I caution against boxing and label-ling a “condition” whose real and clear or-igin is relational and sadly, often seatedfirmly in the family. It is sometimes easierto label a condition than to acknowledgea more uncomfortable truth.

Psychosomatic factors underline muchill health. I believe that mental and rela-tional health would put paid to our havingto treat a range of physical conditions.That is no reason not to treat for ODD, butrather to have a broad-based approachwhich quite possibly includes counsel-ling. Sixteen-year-olds who wet their bedspersistently are very seldom sufferingfrom a bladder infection.

Teen alphabet soup

WRITE TO US |email | fax | postGood kids from

single, stern mumsIn referral to your editorial comment“Real Men” published on 5 May, Ihave to disagree.

Was it really necessary to justblame single mothers for the way ourchildren are growing up? I fully agreethat some kids turn to crime notbecause they were brought up by asingle mother, but for many otherreasons as well.

Many kids grow up in a beautifulhome with both parents and yet theystill turn to drugs. Children may haveboth parents present yet not get thatlove and attention that they crave andneed, so they turn to drugs.

Yes, boys need a father figure toteach them things and a mother alonecan never fully play the role of both

parents, but from my personal experi-ence and people I know not justreferring to things in general, thegood children are the ones that mostlycome from single yet stern motherswho with everything in their powerrear their children to be respectfuland honest people and not justgangsters and drug lords.

I know that we are all entitled toour own opinions so that’s just mine.

SHIHAAM ISMAIL

The line in the ed comment referring tothe amount of children being raised bysingle mothers, should be read withinthe context of the article – the lack ofproper male role models in manyhomes and communities. – Editor

Look at role modelsI fully agree with the sentiments of thearticle written regarding real men(Editorial comment, People’s Post, 5 May).It is sad to say that most men haveforgotten what it means to be a fatherfigure and the impact it should have ontheir children. Mothers are forced to takeon the role of both role models. Morearticles should be written regarding theroles of men and women because thesame could be said about women nottaking their roles as mothers seriously. Iapplaud you for taking a stand to writethis article.

A child goes missing every five hours in South Africa.This amounts to 1 697 children a year of whom 23% arenot found, according to statistics released by the police’sMissing Persons Bureau in 2013.

In 2015 the picture is however not looking much bright-er.

Parents of a four-year-old Bloekombos boy is in mourn-ing after his body was found in a nearby dam a few daysafter he went missing.

Closer to home the community of Hanover Park is stilllooking for six-year-old Sasha-Lee November who hasbeen missing for over a week.

While the parents of missing children holds on to everylittle bit of hope, the truth is we as parents should takemore responsibility for the comings and goings of ourchildren.

Howoften do youhear of toddlers playingunsupervisedin the street, or parents assuming their children were vi-siting friends or relatives?

The fact is no young child should be left unattended.A four-year-old should not be playing in the street or leftunsupervised in your front yard. Their seven-year-oldsibling also does not count as proper supervision.

School-going children should be made aware from anearly age about “stranger danger” and what to do if some-one offers them treats or a ride. Teaching them to be streetsmart should be one of a parent’s top priorities.

And in case they should get lost, they should know atleast one parent’s phone number by heart and who to ap-proach for help.

Even teenagers should be aware of the dangers of leav-ing the safety of your home or school without telling any-one where you are going.

Safety starts at home.
