Chichester Road in Claremont is a hot-spot where homeless people like to set-tle. This is not going down well with the

residents in the area because of the messthey are creating.

About nine streetpeople use the area astheir home. With winter in full swing theylight fires to keep warm and cook. They haveto relieve themselves on the flower bed near-by.

Residents are complaining about them set-tling there, the graffiti on the walls and us-ing the flower bed as it’s creating a terriblestench and a difficult job for the gardeners.

One of the residents, who spoke on condi-tion of anonymity, says the fight to get thehomeless out of the area seems to be fruit-less.

“It’s so terrible here. We maintain theflowers on our own and we find humanwaste there. They pee on the flowers andthey light up fires. It’s so uncomfortable anddangerous.

BISHOPS

Eisteddfod bringscampus to lifeTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Nothing could beat the smiles on pupils’faces as they showed off their talent in

different activities as they participated inthe Eisteddfod which has been taking placeannually for the past 29 years.

Pupils at Bishops College were all overtheir campus, going to different venues toshowcase their performances from 22 tot 24June. There were many different activities– from visual arts, speech, drama, move-ment and photography to music.

The schoolgrounds, full of pupils and par-ents to cheer on their children, came to lifewith the different performances to cele-brate the annual Bishops Eisteddfod. Lastyear’s Idols winner Vincent Bones was oneof the judges of the competitions.

It was not just a competition to celebratethe arts and explore creativity, but also anopportunity to develop leadership skills inwell-rounded future adults.

The event is sponsored by BDO South Af-rica. Antonie van der Hoek, managing part-ner in BDO’s Cape Town office, explains

that South Africa needs to develop well-rounded individuals who embrace all as-pects of life, both academic and cultural.

“Although the link between an account-ing firm and the arts is not obvious, we be-lieve strongly in supporting all aspects ofeducation,” says van der Hoek.

Started by John Peake, headmaster ofBishops in the 1980s, the interhouse Ei-steddfod has grown over the years and nowmarks a sense of tradition and statusamongst the pupils. The event culminatesin an interhouse singing competition.

The Bishops Eisteddfod is a pupil-drivenevent that challenges every pupil to get in-volved in the arts, either through perform-ing or managing or both.

Mark Mitchell, Eisteddfod director atBishops, says this unique cultural eventasks pupils to step into a space that theymight not normally find themselves in, andsends a message to the pupils about the val-uable role the arts plays in creating rich-ness in everyday life and society.

“It is always amazing to see the talent thatemerges from all corners of the Bishopscampus through this process,” he says.

They say they want to go to a shelter and staythere but the problem is they don’t have themoney to pay every month.

“These shelters are not for free. We don’thave money to pay. Some of them cost R700a month and where do we get that kind ofmoney? We will continue to be on the streetsand with the little money that we get we buyfood for ourselves,” adds Demas.

Ward councillor Matthew Kempthronesays he is aware of the homeless in the area.

“We are working with law enforcementbut the problem of homelessness is spiking.With the army being sent to Manenberg weare seeing a lot of people on our streets. Bes-sert Close is no exception. Last week I met

with the concerned people to find long-termsolutions to the problem.

“However, to fight this problem we areurging people to give responsibly. Don’t givemoney, clothes or food directly to the home-less. Give to the U-turn NGO as they are do-ing a wonderful job in assisting with thehomeless,” he says.

Kempthrone urges resident to report im-mediately if they see homeless people light-ning fires close to the road.

“Please call 107 immediately so that lawenforcement can come and help out. The by-law doesn’t allow that so law enforcementare the people that can deal with it immedi-ately,” he says.

PINELANDS

When the alarm goes, so should youResidents of Pinelands and the surround-

ing areas are urged to be extremelycareful and to act quickly when theiralarms are deactivated.This is because there are a group of men

suspected of using the samemodus operan-di as the crowbar gang who are stoppinghouse alarms and breaking into homes.They are also derailing electrical gates togain access to homes.Over the past two weeks the police have

seen an increase in break-ins using thesame strategy and happening between

19:00 and 20:00 during the week.In just two weeks the police have had re-

ports of seven cases – all with the samemo-dus operandi and taking place around thesame time.

Held up at gun pointLast week, three suspects broke into a

house butunfortunately this time the occu-pants were there. It is alleged that theyheld the residents up at gun point. Theytook the residents’ belongings and fled inthe car they arrived in.

Captain Anton vanDerberg says the sus-pects forced the front door open to enter thehouse.“We have had an increase in break-ins

to houses similar to the crowbar gang.They steal flat-screen TVs, laptops, jewel-lery and Playstations a lot,” he says.Van Derberg adds that this is a quick

process and it only takes about five min-utes for the thieves to take what they wantand be out of the house.“That’s why any tampering with the

alarm in those times of the day shouldn’t

be taken lightly. They know they will beout before people react to the alarm thathas been deactivated,” he says.The police are urging residents to report

any suspicious behaviour.“We are working around the clock, but

we want residents to work with us. Any-thing suspicious mustn’t be taken forgranted. We have additional deploymentandwe areworking closelywith theNeigh-bourhoodWatch to be our eyes as well. Wewill arrest the perpetrators,” saysVanDer-berg.

Petrol thief sought by policeThe Claremont police are urgently seekingthehelp of the community in trying to estab-lish thewhereabouts of awhitemale in con-nection with a theft that occurred at the BPgarage in Newlands Avenue, Claremont onMonday 25 May.It is alleged that at about 17:57 on that day

the unknown male, driving a white ToyotaHilux bakkie with registration numberCA 218312, drove into the BP garage. Hethen requested a petrol attendant to fill uphis vehicle. After it was filled, he requestedthe attendant to bring him a bottle of brakefluid.When the attendant left, the suspect got

into his bakkie and drove off without pay-ing for the petrol, which amounted toR913.13The bakkie had a “For sale” sign on both

sides of the vehicle. Anyone with informa-tion regarding the identity and where-abouts of the person being sought is re-

quested tomake contactwith the investigat-ing officer Detective Sergeant Mntonga on021 657 2255 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

The suspect who filled his tank at the BPgarage and didn’t pay for it.

Youth still a focusfor RotariansTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Colin Burke, the new president of the Ro-tary Club of Newlands, has vowed to

keep youth projects on his top list through-out his term.

Burke was inducted as the new presidentfor the Club’s 2015/2016 year at a prestigiousgala dinner hosted at the Wild Fig Restau-rant on Friday last week.

Sharing his goals, he says he is excitedand looking forward to being president. Theyouth will continue to be his main focus.

“The youth have always been a major fo-cus for the Rotary Club of Newlands; we arefortunate to have so many projects that in-volve young people. Early childhood devel-opment programmes, such as the project inMasiphumelele, will remain high on ouragenda for the year,” he says.

The Rotarians will continue to supportthe ongoing training of emergency fire anddisaster volunteers and to encourageyoungsters to join them by way of classesbeing held in schools in the far south.

Burke adds that the incoming Rotary In-ternational president, Ravi Ravindram’s,theme for this year is “Be a gift to theworld”. The Newlands Club will embracethis theme as the members know how togive and have fun in doing so.

“To quote Ravi, ‘Every one of us has some-thing to give – whoever we are and whatev-er our place in life’. We can give our talent,our knowledge, our abilities and our effort.We can give our dedication and our devo-tion. Through Rotary we can make these

gifts and make a genuine difference in thelives of others and in the world,” he says.

“This Club is always looking for projectsto support, we never sit still. There is, how-ever, one such project that I would like toconsider this coming year. Sport is a greatleveller; we all know how it helps with theeducation of our youth. It teaches them dis-cipline and fair play and of course keepsthem fit. My goal is to build a sports centrewhere a number of sports can be taught andencouraged with active participation fromthe community and possibly other Rotaryclubs,” concludes Burke.

The Rotary Club of Newlands welcomesthose who are interested to join.V For more information visit www.newlands.org ortheir page on Facebook.

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

Residents of Rosebank and Little Mow-bray will meet soon to take forward a pro-posal to form a special rating area.

The plan has been in the making for al-most two years and will reach a climax inSeptember when property owners andratepayers in the area vote on the issue.

The initiative is being driven by a com-bined effort of the Rosebank Neighbour-hood Watch and the Little MowbrayNeighbourhood Watch. It is supported byseveral major businesses in the DurbanRoad area.

The two neighbourhood watches havedrawn up a business plan and have car-ried out initial surveys among residents.There has also been one public meeting.

If at least 60% of the ratepayers are in

favour of it a residential improvement dis-trict can be created. This organisationwould be dedicated to enhancing securityin the neighbourhood, improving cleans-ing operations and dealing more effective-ly with other endemic problems likehomelessness.

The move is strongly supported by theRosebank and Mowbray Civic Associa-tion as well as the Mowbray CommunityPolice Forum.

Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of thetwo organisations, says experience else-where in the city has proved that the mosteffective way for communities to dealwith the growing social and economicproblems besetting their areas is throughthe formation of improvement districts.

The open meeting will be held on 15 Julyat Rhodes High School in Montreal Ave-nue, Little Mowbray at 19:00.

CRIME

Radios helpwatches keep upTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Harlyn Neighbourhood Watch is overthe moon after it received a donation of

portable radios that will help it fight crimemuch easier as the members can now com-municate faster and more efficiently.

Before they received the portable radiosthey used walkie talkies that could only cov-er a kilometre but now with the new porta-ble radios they can cover up to 10 kilome-tres, making it easier to be the eyes and earsof the community.

Derek Bluck, patrol organiser, says theyare happy about the radios as they helpthem to keep in touch all the time.

“This will make our job much easier. Weare in touch with response officers, policeon duty and the ADT who are patrolling. Wewill keep track of most of the things becausethese are of a much better quality and verygood so we can hear each other much moreclearly. The area is big so we have to workwith something that will really help us beon the outlook all the time,” he says.

Bluck says they have 21 Icom and Vertexportable radios at the moment but his targetfor this year is to have at least 30.

“We are talking baby steps but we will bewhere we want to be eventually. We haveto help where we can because the police areunder-resourced and they can’t be every-where all the time so we have to do our bitand help out. Work is much easier withthese radios and we can communicate andrespond much quicker because they areloud and clear,” he says.

Dealing with crimes like break-ins, loiter-ing, theft out of cars, they will be connectedand up to date on what’s happening in theareas they cover.

The Harlyn Neighbourhood Watch coversPalmyra Road, the M5 in Kenilworth andKromboom.

“It’s extremely essential that communi-ties have neighbourhood watches. This willpromote safer communities and help fightcrime. We are glad that most people are join-ing and it will promote safe communities,”says Bluck.

A donation of portable radios to the HarlynNeighbourhood Watch will help it fight crimein its area.

DISRUPTION OF ELECTRICITY SUPPLY:NEWLANDSSaturday 4 July 2015 to Sunday 5 July 2015

A steady growth in the electricity usage in the Newlands area over time mainly driven by newproperty development has resulted in the electricity distribution infrastructure becomingoverloaded in certain areas of Newlands.

TheWesternCape leg of this year’s Spurschools MTB league was off to a thun-derous start with a record number of

530 riders participating in the first race ofthe season this past weekend at MeerendalWine Estate in Durbanville.

According to league coordinator Meur-ant Botha, of Amarider, the strong contin-gent of primary school riderswas a good in-dicator that mountain bike riding is gain-ing great support as a sport of choice.

“We are delighted with such a strongstart to the season as our record number ofentries last year was 470 riders. Judgingfrom the level of riding showed by the highschool participants, we’re most definitelyin for a very exciting season leading up tothe national finals in October,” says Botha.

Botha further states that it is especiallygood to see more girls competing and thatmore schools are being represented as theSpur schools MTB league is particularlyaimed at school teams.

The youth women (15-16 years) categorywas won by Allison Morton of WesterfordHigh School, followed by Petra Lategan ofBloemhof in second place and Carla Steynof Parel Vallei in third position.

In the junior women category (17-18years) it was Mire Herbst of DurbanvilleHigh School who outrode the field, withCourteneyWebb ofWesterfordHigh Schoolsecond and Nophiwe Hala of Kayamandithird.

A large field of about 100 riders gatheredat the starting line for the main race of theday, the junior men (17-18 years) category.

There was a strong battle amongst thefirst three riders. Matthew Lombardi ofPaul Roos Gymnasiumheld the upper handto finish first with Andrew Sparks of Red-dam House second and Matthew Keyser ofDF Malan third.

Anatural progressionof the developmentof the league has been the establishment ofSouth African Schools Cycling (SASC),headed by Deon Steyn, as the national gov-erning body of the sport.Apart from the fur-ther development of regional structures,the major drive for SASC is to lobby withthe department of education to accreditmountain biking as an official schoolssport.

ADRIAN PHEIFFER

Since Saturday is the fourth ofJuly, the meeting at Killarneyis celebrating the United

States’ Independence Day with aunique American-themed packagecombining all the razzmatazz ofYankee tanks, Ford Mustangs,chrome-bedecked Harley David-sons, the Star-spangled Bannerand Billy Joel’s “She’s a rocket onthe Fourth of July”.

The fifth round of the power se-ries is sponsored by Wingfield Mo-tors.

As far as the racing is concerned,the all American one-make V8masters category, with cars thatwere unashamedly based on theFord Mustang of the time before be-ing redesigned for the track andbuilt by Owen Ashley in his facto-ry/workshop at Killarney, willtake pride of place.

Powered by modified V8 enginesthat produce 325kW of power at therear wheels, and driven by super-stars like multiple former SouthAfrican superkart champion Mar-

cel Angel, sometime supercar title-holder Richard Schreuder, CraigJarvis, Fabio Tafani and FrancoDonadio, the racing is almost al-ways dangerously close and in-your-face.

With reigning Formula Super-car champion Nick Adcock possi-bly in absentia, the door in this cat-

egory could open for the youngDayne Angel, who has been in fineform recently. Others to watch in-clude Brad Wadeley, Andrew Mof-fitt and Gareth Easom.

But the biggest entry and someof the best racing can be expectedin the Midas clubman events fromfrontrunners like spectacular Da-

nie van Niekerk in his Wingfieldbeemer, Nieyaaz Modack (BMW),Jesse Huggett (VW Jetta) and An-dré Johnson (Audi Quattro).

Then, with motor racing appeal-ing to drivers and riders of all ages,the rookie to watch is going to be15-year-old Joshua Dolinschek inthe Formula Libre single-seater

class. Joshua was impressive as hedominated the first two rounds inwhich he competed earlier this sea-son. However, he was beaten con-vincingly by Julian van der Wattin a more powerful car at the mostrecent meeting. It will be interest-ing to see how he fares on Satur-day.

At the other end of the scale, pop-ular 54-year-old Danie ‘Van Killar-ney’ Maritz is a veteran motorcy-clist currently astride the sameGSX-R750 Suzuki that carried himto victory in the 1987 Western Prov-ince championship. Incredibly,this super-fit rider is lapping evenfaster now than he did more than28 years ago.

Aimed at the entire family, theday is also going to include a break-fast run for street-legal motorcy-cles, a kiddies playground mannedby minders and an American-stylehotdog eating contest in the club-house. There are 18 races for carsand motorcycles on the pro-gramme, the first of which is dueafter final practice and qualifyingsessions at 10:00.

Bigger and better comes to Killarney

Big cars with loud engines will have spectators screaming for more at Killarney on Saturday.
