BURGLARIES: COPS ON ALERT

Negligenceblamed forbreak­insNADINE MOODIE

A spike in burglaries at apartments inRondebosch has the police on highalert.

The break-ins occur throughout the dayand the police say it is as a result of negli-gence.Rondebosch Police Station spokesperson

Warrant Officer Lyndon Sisam says: “Inmost crime incidents relating to apartmentblocks, access gates were usually left open.”Sisamadds: “Most of these flatshave inter-

com systems. Residents should not open thegate if the visitor at the gate is not for them.”According to Sisam it is “usually during

these timeswhen criminals access the build-ing and burgle flats”.Sisam advises that body corporates

should “regularly change access codes toflats andmonitor the number of remote con-trols which get lost, and keep track of thoseavailable” to ensure general safety.“We’ve also received many complaints

about access doors not working properly.People should not report these things to thepolice. Body corporates are responsible forthose things and should apply safety meas-ures.”Body corporates need to take heed of resi-

dents’ concerns and should designate a resi-dent to deal with complaints, says Sisam.Last month four flats were burgled at a

Rondebosch apartment block, which housesstudents as well as full-time workers. Thebreak-ins took place between 11:00 and 17:00.“Our biggest culprits are the studentswho

usually tailgate the access gates, by not clos-

ing them properly when they enter or exitthe building,” Sisam says.“Students usually leave the gates open

when they’re having parties to allow theirguests to enter, but nobodywatches the gateand electronic devices usually get stolenwhen this happens.”UCTstudent SandisweGwele,who lives in

the precinct, says students are soft targetsfor crime because they own valuable elec-tronic items, which they carry on their per-son or keep in their flats.“Thankfully I’ve never been a victim of

crime, but my flatmates got mugged rightoutside our block. We think it was a set-upbecause the perpetrators were sitting in acar outside the block waiting for them asthey arrived home,” she says.The students were robbed of their cell-

phones and wallets. “No one was harmed.”Ward councillor Matthew Kempthorne

says security in the precinct is difficult.“TheGroote SchuurCommunity Improve-

ment District (GSCID) has extended theirservices to the precinct, and will do so forthe next three years, but residents need toassist them,” he says.“Residents can’t afford to be negligent any

more. Most of the crimes occurring in thesuburb is opportunistic because peopleleave laptops and electronic gadgets in theircars. There have also been talks around cre-ating a Special Ratings Area in this sectionof Rosebank to alleviate criminal activity.”He adds: “Residents need to attend com-

munitymeetings and speakabout the issues,so their needs can be addressed, and crimecombated.”

ELECTRICITY PRICE: ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE, EXPERT SAYS

Shocking power struggleMICHELLE LINNERT

If turning on your geyser is becoming a luxu-ry, your pocket has probably been hit hardby the rocketing cost of electricity.

Consumers are strictly adjusting theirpower consumption as the price of electrici-ty units steadily start eating at their budg-ets.

But a policy known as net metering –through which consumers generate electric-ity using solar panels – could mean the endof skyhigh costs, an energy expert reveals.

David Lipschitz, the owner of renewableenergy company My Power Station, insiststhat although the City of Cape Town has net

metering tariffs, it is “doing everything inits power to prevent the adoption of net me-tering”.

And an Eskom employee, who asks not tobe named, agrees with Lipschitz.

He explains how the “power struggle”over electricity actually works.

“Households buy their electricity from themunicipalities. The municipalities buy itfrom Eskom. If households were to start gen-erating their own electricity through netmetering and selling off the excess, howwould the municipalities make their mon-ey?” he asks.

“Farmers, factories and mines – all bigconsumers – buy their electricity directlyfrom Eskom. They pay a lot less than house-holds, who have to pay additional costs fortheir electricity from the municipality.

“Of course municipalities would bestrongly against net metering because any-body can install solar panels. Eskom, forone, would be very glad because then wewould be saving it a lot of energy. But themoney from household consumers is what

keeps the councils going.”Lipschitz explains net metering as “a pay-

ment system where users of electricity‘make’ their own electricity, and usuallybuy and sell electricity at the same rate”.

He says consumers who buy electricityfrom Eskom or the City at R1.50/kWh unitbut do not use all the power then resell theexcess to the service provider at the samerate.

“The idea is that during the day you ‘bank’excess electricity generated, and at nightyou use electricity from the grid,” Lipschitzsays.

The City says it has many reasons for notyet installing net metering.

These include tariffs and technicalities re-garding individual households, or “small-scale embedded generation” on the powergrid, says Ernest Sonnenberg, the City’sMayoral Committee member for UtilityServices.

“While encouraging the use of small-scaleembedded generation technologies is note-worthy, this should not be done in a way that

disadvantages oth-ers,” he says.

He explains thatthe City has tocharge a tariff that“recovers theirfixed costs underall circumstances,doesn’t unfairlypenalise non-gen-erating consum-ers, and still pro-vides some level ofcompensation forthose who makethe capital invest-ment to performsmall-scale embed-ded generation”.

Net metering requires the installation ofsolar panels that are connected to the elec-tricity grid.

Access to the same grid will be utilised inthe event of a reverse power flow – when en-ergy is depleted and needs to be sent to ac-commodate a household’s supply.

According to council, there are no techni-cal standards yet which govern what theseconnections should look like.

“The City is currently involved in a na-tional workgroup that is developing nation-al technical standards,” Sonnenberg says.

“Unfortunately, until national standardsare fully developed and implemented, andsuppliers can provide grid connectionequipment with the relevant mark ‘stampedon it’, the process of obtaining approval touse alternatives is complex and lengthy.”

The current plan is that as soon as grid-connected small-scale embedded generation– such as net metering – is allowed, the Citywill charge a tariff which includes a dailyservice charge, a higher energy consump-tion tariff and a lower tariff for when theCity buys excess electricity, Sonnenbergsays.

Lipschitz points out that the technology ispopular in Europe and the USA.

“I believe the public needs to be madeaware of this information so that we can dosomething about the environment, createjobs and stimulate our economy,” he insists.

The Eskom employee adds that in otherprovinces people have begun installing Es-kom electricity boxes instead of using themunicipal ones.

“These cost about R1000 to install. Thenthe household buys electricity straight fromEskom, without the added charges from themunicipality.”V For more information about net metering, phoneDavid Lipschitz on (021) 551 9935 or (021) 813 9895or visit www.mypowerstation.biz.

PATHOLOGY: INADEQUATE FACILITIES RETARD SERVICE

Mortuary of horrorsELSABÉ BRITS

The largest State mortuary in the prov-ince is so dilapidated and inadequatethat cadavers have to be kept in a ship-

ping container and forensic pathologistshave to work while standing in bloody wa-ter.

Built in 1956, the Salt River mortuaryserves the entire west metropole, southernsuburbs, Klipfontein and Mitchell’s Plain,but has amenities for only 1500 autopsies ayear.

About 3500 autopsies are currently con-ducted at the facility each year, but the in-frastructure is so poor that workers are ex-posed to health hazards.

Professor Lorna Martin, head of UCT’sDepartment of Forensic Medicine, saidspace at the Salt River mortuary is so limit-ed that they were forced to purchase a cool-ing container. But even the container isnow full.

She has only seven forensic pathologistsat her disposal, two ofwhomare specialists.

Besides autopsies of unnatural deaths –which include any accident, violent crime,death after anaesthesia and any deathwhere the cause is unclear – they are alsoinvolved in lengthy inquests.

They are also witnesses in court, lectureand conduct research.

Dr Linda Liebenberg, senior forensic pa-

thologist at UCT’s Department of ForensicMedicine, said her work day starts at 05:30and ends very late.

She conducts between nine and 15 autop-sies a week. “(I do) up to 600 (autopsies) eve-ry year; the international norm is 250 ayear,” she said.

A basic autopsy, including paperwork,lasts up to four hours, but “complicatedmurders can keep us busy for months oreven years”. “On my table I have a casewhich is 10 years old – and the biggest prob-lem is that the investigating officer changesup to five times sometimes,” Liebenbergsaid.

Martin said they wait years – up to nineyears – for toxicology reports. This in-cludes the analysis of blood alcohol levels,drugs, poison and medication. It is done bythe national health department’s three lab-oratories.

“The problem is that I can issue a deathcertificate so that the person can be buried,but it states that the cause of death is ‘un-known’. For years people don’t get closureand many policies do not pay out as thereis uncertainty (of the cause of death),” shesaid.

“No other specialists will work in suchcircumstances. People need to realise de-ceased people cannot be treated differentlyto living people. They deserve the same re-spect.”

The solution is a forensic pathology insti-tute.

Vonita Thompson, the provincial healthdepartment’s director of forensic pathologyservices, said the situation at Salt River isreceiving preferential attention. Tendersfor the new institute will be advertised nextyear.

She added the department is aware of theshortages at the Salt River mortuary andthe new institute is now a preference.

The Tygerberg mortuary will be upgrad-ed in tandem with the hospital.

Boost for pathology servicesELSABÉ BRITS

The only solution for a growing populationin thePeninsula is to have a forensic pathol-ogy institute which houses all related serv-ices under one roof.

“My mandate is to investigate unnaturaldeaths thoroughly, effectively and quick-ly,” said Professor Lorna Martin, head ofthe UCT Department of Forensic Medicine.She is also the head specialist responsiblefor autopsies at the Salt River Mortuary,where most of the city’s autopsies are con-ducted.

The idea for the institute has been comingon for years.

The provincial health department has in-cluded the R200m cost in its coming budget.

Six new mortuaries have, meanwhile,been built in rural areas in the last threeyears.

Forensic pathology services are current-ly divided between the City of Cape Town,provincial and national government. Theidea is to get the services under one roof,making it significantly faster and cheaper.

Some material collected for further anal-ysis in autopsies literally need to be trans-ported in containers from place to place.Construction to the Main Road entrance toGroote SchuurHospital inObservatorywillcommence at the end of next year and is ex-pected to last 24 months.

The institute will offer toxicology analy-sis; histopathology (microscopic analysis oftissue); dissection and academic venues forlectures and tertiary training; analysis of

bodily fluids (microbiology, chemistry andvirology); DNA to aid identification of bod-ies; a pleasant reception, parking area, gar-den and improved facilities for people toidentify bodies; forensic anthropology; fo-rensic dental services; a place to conduct ad-vanced scans; and entomology – the analy-sis of insects.

Guard arrested for‘shooting’ travellersNADINE MOODIE

Two men were wounded after a fight en-sued on a train en route to Cape Town.The train was travelling from Netreg

station stopped at Ndabeni station at 18:00last Sunday.

One person was shot in the leg and anoth-er in the stomach at Salt River station.

A security guard is in custody after heshot one commuter in the leg as the trainapproached Ndabeni station and then shotanother commuter in his stomach near SaltRiver station.

Both commuters remained on the train,before the passenger who was shot in hisstomach got off at Salt River station to findmedical assistance.

It is believed the perpetrator was intoxi-cated at the time of the incident.

Pinelands Police Station spokespersonColonel Helena Mouton says there were nofatalities and a case of attempted murderwas opened.

“Police managed to arrest a securityguard and confiscated his firearm.

“The case is still under investigation,”she says.

“It is unfortunate that the very personwho was employed to protect commuters isalleged to have shot a commuter in the legwhile on duty under the influence of alco-hol,” says ward councillor Brian Watkyns.

“I call on his employers to carry out athorough investigation and to ensure thatall guards are fit for carrying out their dutywhen starting their shift, especially whenthey’re armed.

“I also call on them to make their findingsknown to help restore public confidence.”

Metrorail Western Cape managerMthuthuzeli Swartz confirms that the secu-rity guard involved in the incident and theinjured commuter have been identified.

“We have given our full cooperation tothe Woodstock police’s investigating officerSergeant Qhubeka, and believe an attempt-ed murder case was opened,” he says.

”It is imperative that the matter be fullyinvestigated and that the injured commuterrecover fully.”

MAIN ROAD: RESIDENTS’ PLAN OF ACTION

Developmentfor MowbrayNADINE MOODIE

Mowbray and Rosebank residentshave plans to reclaim and upgradeMain Road.

The plans focus on Mowbray CBD andDurban Road in Little Mowbray.Rosebank and Mowbray Association

chairperson Jonathan Hobday says there’sa development vacuum in the precinct andresidents are trying to create the right envi-ronment for the development of an areawhich became degraded in recent years.“This is an ideal moment to do this be-

cause authorities have finally realised thatthe Klipfontein Corridor is impractical andhave put the idea on the backburner,” hesays.“This has now loosened the grip of a dead

hand which has strangled the communityfor decades.“UCT’s expansion intoMowbray has also

given momentum to the thought and proc-ess of regeneration. We need to ensure thatappropriate and coherent development isobtained in the community and that is ex-actly why residents have become proactiveby drawing up its own vision of what itwants in the precinct.”Local developer Shamus Fitzhenry has

also alluded to the impact of the formationof Groote Schuur Community Improve-ment District (GSCID) which led transfor-mation in the area.“Streets are clean and crime has de-

creased significantly, yet students prefer tolive in Claremont, because it’s safer, eventhough it’s further from campus,” he says.

“Mowbray presents a great opportunityfor well-designed and efficiently managedstudent accommodation.“UCThas a shortfall of 4 000 beds and oth-

er institutions in the precinct face a similardilemma. Mowbray has a rich history andsome attractive buildings. Restoring andimproving its landmarks and greening thestreets will result in a significant uplift-ment, which will make the it an attractivearea.”Ward councillor Brett Herron says civic

associations are allowed to upgrade sec-tions of their communities, on conditionthat they comply with the City of CapeTown’sRoadsandStormwaterDepartment.“After the department approves the pro-

posal, the civic association has to appointa registered civil engineering professionalto undertake the detailed design and super-vision of construction work,” he says.“The department may also impose other

conditions depending on the risk in-volved.”Hobday says the association is also look-

ing at improving Durban Road to make itmore attractive and safer for residents andvisitors.“The plan includes extending the net-

workofnon-motorised transport downDur-ban Road, with the hope of making thestreet pedestrian friendly andbyupgradingthe historic horse fountain which bordersCampground Road, while also installingtraffic calming measures,” he says.V Rosebank and Mowbray Civic Association’s annualmeeting will be held on Wednesday 14 August at19:00 at St George’s Grammar School.

Bergvliet’s own moto-cross champion recentlyproved his class at inter-national level when hefinished ahead of some ofthe world’s best at theYouth Motocross Interna-tional in Commercy,France.

Justin “The Sandman”Sangster beat UK champi-on Ike Carter, Dutchnumber two Mack Bou-wenstein and the USA’sMarc Gonzalez to finishseventh out of 80 riders inthe under-12 65cc catego-ry gold final on Sunday 14July.

The 10-year-old says hewas happy to with hisplacing after struggling inthe same race last year.

“Last year in France Icrashed at the start of thegold final and went downto 40th, but I still managedto pass five people (toeventually) finish 35th,”Sangster says.

“I was really happy (toplace) seventh this year,but starting with 40 guysin the line is difficult; inSouth Africa you only get15. When all 40 guys go in-to the corner you justhave to hold your line andtry not to get bumped. Ifone person falls in front,you get held up.”

Sangster has shownbags of talent since takingup the sport at the age ofseven. He has won five re-gional titles since ridinghis first race.

Last year Sangster also won the 50cc ProSenior Championship and he currentlyleads the regional 85cc class by two points.

The Sweet Valley Primary pupil says heloves the sport because he enjoys being ableto control the power of the motorbike and itallows him to spend time with his friends.

His father, Mark, says Justin has shownan immense amount of dedication since tak-ing up the sport.

“He works with a junior fitness specialistat the Sport Science Institute twice a weekand they go through some specific trainingfor motocross; (specially designed) for him.It works on his core, arms and legs becausehe needs to grip the bike,” Mark says.

“He attends team training on Wednesdaysand they spend about 150 minutes goingthrough sessions. He has a one-on-one withthe coach on Saturdays, rides on a Sundayand he often gets another ride in during theweek. He rides a minimum of three times aweek; spending between six and 10 hoursriding.”

Sangster says he hopes to one day makeit as a professional rider and race in the USAin the Lucas Oil Series – the biggest moto-cross series in the world.

Sangster will continue his charge to poleposition in SA junior motocross on Friday,when he participates in the World of Motor-sport SA North vs South Challenge in Blo-emfontein.

Coca-Cola Cup defending champions Hano-ver Park FC qualified for the last 16 of thetournament after knocking out BattswoodAFC on penalties on Sunday.

The match was a classic “David vs Golia-th” encounter, pitting Hanover Park’s expe-rience against Battswood’s youthful energy.

Hanover Park showed superior tacticaldiscipline, excellent positioning and seemedmore comfortable in possession, but lackedthe composure to take the chances created.

The defending champions had the firstclear-cut chance of the game in the 11thminute, when Roesdien Smith latched ontoa through ball in the box, but skied his shotwith Battswood goalkeeper Tyrounne Jo-hannes at his mercy.

Marlon Goodman was next to miss a sitterfor Hanover Park, firing wide of goal afterthe ball dropped to him inside the box in the28th minute. Battswood were content to soakup pressure and play on the break in the firsthalf, but had limited success. The Wynbergclub hit the target for the first time in the

last minute of the half, when Jason Brown’sclose-range half-volley was pushed to safetyby Wesley Seconds.

Smith had another opportunity in the 60thminute, but his volley was kept out by an ex-cellent save from Johannes.

Hanover Park seemed to lose patiencemid-way through the second half, just asBattswood were finding their rhythm, andthe balance of power shifted completelyaround the 25th minute when HanoverPark’s Ganief Karriem was red-carded.

Despite the numerical advantage, Batts-wood couldn’t unlock the stingy HanoverPark defence and Seconds was called into ac-tion just once in the rest of the game, keepingout Devon Morris’ screamer from outsidethe box with a full length dive.

Seconds was in excellent form again in thepenalty shoot-out which followed, pulling offstunning saves to keep out three of Batts-wood’s four attempts and help his side to a3-1 win in the shoot-out.

The next round of the tournament will beplayed on Sunday 18 August. The venue andfixtures are yet to be released.

Ensuring future success, even at the expenseof immediate glory, is the goal Villager RFChas set its newly appointedcoach.

South Africa’s second oldestrugby club selected UCT un-der-20 coach Andrew “Gun-ner” Hughes to take the reinsat the start of next season, aftersuffering major set-backs overthe last two years. Villagerwere relegated to SuperLeague B in 2012, then lost sev-eral first team members afterbucking the trend and refusingto pay players. And, as a result,the club has struggled on thefield this season.

Although a return to the topis the ultimate aim, Villagerchairperson Bruce Fraser saysHughes was hired to bring tolife the club’s vision of “a pro-fessional set up within an ama-teur club”. “The knee jerk reaction is to saythat we want to be back in Super League Aby 2014 or 2015, but the reality is, in orderfor our club to progress, we need to take play-

ers who come to our club and develop theminto better players through those profession-al structures,” he says. “It’s basically aboutus up-skilling those guys and creating future

Villager men who are play-ing for the right reasons.We have gone with Gunnerbecause I know his creden-tials at UCT. He has a goodgroup of guys who willcome with him; he is theright guy to put in what weare looking for.”

Although Western Prov-ince club rugby leagues areamateur, it is believed topplayers in Super League Aand B earn in excess ofR15 000 a month.

The decision to complete-ly halt paying playersmeans Villager will strug-gle to attract the top talentneeded to be competitivetop and may continue tolose its best players to rival

clubs offering substantial salaries.Hughes took the job because of the unique

challenge at Brookside and believes it is pos-sible to stay competitive while not paying

players. “It is possible but it’s not going tobe a quick fix and is going to take two tothree years,” he says. “At the moment wehave the right players, playing for the rightreasons. I think we need to hold on to themand add a few. We need to be professionalin the way we prepare and the staff we have.We have two sports psychologists, three bio-keneticists and a doctor.”

Hughes believes the current system ofpaying players is unsustainable and says it’sa “pipe dream” of his that all clubs will fol-low suite and become fully amateur.

He hopes to attract top players by appeal-ing to their hearts instead of their walletsand giving them a chance to “make a differ-ence” at Villager.

And he hopes to keep players at the clubby making them feel valued and treatingthem as professionals in every other waythan paying them a salary.

Hughes will bring a 14-member coachingstaff with him from UCT when he starts atVillager in 2014. Fraser is also Villager’s cur-rent first team coach after taking over whenRito Hlungwane resigned earlier this year.
