‘Worthless’ tablets raidedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Anew technology rolled out in ambulan-ces across the city is making emergen-cy medics a target for crime.

This as three sources in the industry, whodo not want to be identified as they are notcontractually permitted to speak to the me-dia, claim that robberies and attacks havespiked over the last few months, especiallyin areas such as Mitchell’s Plain, Manen-berg, Hanover Park and Khayelitsha.They believe the spike coincides with the

installation of tablet devices in ambulances,which linkmedics to the call centre and pro-

vide directions to the emergency.Some medics who have been held up have

even been asked to hand over the “tablets”,sources say.

Useless outside ambulancesThe tablets, according to a source with in-

dustry knowledge, have been installed in away that makes them “impossible to re-move” from the ambulances.The tablets are also locked and will only

work on the health department’s system,and are useless for any other user.The installation of the devices, referred to

asMDTs, cost about R300m, the source says.Medics have reportedly raised their con-

cerns with management, but have receivedno reaction.They are nowcalling for immediate action

to be taken, to inform the community thatthe devices are not removable and are notuseable outside the ambulance.Sources say the device, which is mounted

above the dashboard, is clearly visible atnight. The system also updates continuous-ly, and can be heard beeping from outsidethe ambulance.They say in some areas, medics even

choose to use ambulances in which the devi-ces have not yet been installed or switch itoff. They say no education has taken placein communties to inform the general public

of the function of the MDT devices.

Added pressureThe increase in attacks has left medics

fearful, a source confirms, with many al-ready expected to attend to patients in areasthey feel are unsafe or where gang violenceis prevalent. “We already have the pressureof having to respond to as many calls as pos-sible. It’s nowbecoming just a job andwe arelosing our passion,” he says.The department of health refused to con-

firm the existance of the MDT devices, say-ing to do so could make ambulances moreof a target.They declined to comment further.

The Botanical Society of SouthAfrica (BotSoc) joined forcesgreening Somerset Hospital onFriday last week as an act ofkindness for Mandela Day.Operation Smile organised theevent and called on others tohelp. BotSoc, with the Kirsten­bosch horticultural team of theSouth African NationalBiodiversity Institute generouslydonated a variety of suitableindigenous plants. Despite theicy winter weather andbucketing rains whilst packingthe cars at the Kirstenboschnursery, the skies settled andteams of volunteers workedtogether to establish abeautiful garden on theSomerset Hospital grounds.Others also decorated andpotted smaller plants for insidethe hospital buildings for staffand patients. Pictured isCatherine Browne of BotSoc,preparing the beds for plant­ing.

Cheers when whales are freedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As thewinter brings an increasednumber ofwhalesto our waters, the chances increase that the giantsbecome entangled in ropes, nets and lobster traps.Such cases are rising, says South African Whale

Disentanglement Network (SAWDN) head MikeMeyers.On average, 15 to 17 cases of whale entanglement

are reported every year. However, this number isincreasing yearly as the population increases, hesays.This year has seen eight cases already, with the

whale season still only beginning. It is expected topeak in September.Ten years ago, a huge number of entanglements

were reported, prompting the department of envi-ronmental affairs to approach the lobster industryto fund training from an American whale disentan-glement specialist.The Network includes a variety of partners, in-

cluding the Dolphin Protection Action Group, Na-tional Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), Natal SharksBoard, researchers and whale watchers, Meyerssays. It has 17 centres along the SouthAfrican coast-line. Every year, a new group is trained and moreequipment is manufactured. It costs about R25 000to set up a new team.The public should report any sighting of an entan-

gled whale immediately, says Meyer. There havebeen reports of people being killed by whales in thepast, he explains, which is why the general publicshould never attempt to free a whale themselves.The Network will immediately dispatch a boat to

locate the animal and monitor it. The disentangle-ment team will then follow, using an appropriateknife to cut off whatever rope or net the whale is

caught in.TheNetwork has a 100% success rate in disentan-

gling whales trapped on the sea bottom. However,whales entangled but able to break free are difficultto follow, and an entangled whale can face a veryslow death, with it taking up to nine months for thecaught whale to die.

Dangerous workDisentangling the whale can be very dangerous,

Meyer explains.While humpbackwhales easily tireand will stop thrashing about, southern rightwhales tend to kick their tails sideways and this canseriously injure a volunteer.Safety is very important and the volunteers never

enter the water, Meyer says. Only the best equip-ment is used and all volunteers are trained.An entangled whale will spin around in the water

to attempt to free itself, Meyer explains. This usual-

ly pushes the rope towards the whale’s tail, whichthe whale will kick. This action can be very danger-ous to crew trying to help the whale, he says.“It’s a very scary thing the first time you assist

a whale. Many volunteers go out with their heartin their throats,” he says.But this is all worth it.“We’re all geared towards getting that piece of

rope off. At the same time,we’re very close to a largeanimal, and they often cry in fear. Sometimes theydon’t even realised that they’re free and we need togive them a touch before they take off like a bullet,”he says. “At that stage, althoughwe’ve been as quietas possible the whole time, the entire team willcheer.”V Report entangled whales to the Dolphin Action ProtectionGroup on 021 782 5845 or to the NSRI on 021 434 4011.V For more information or to get involved, contact Mike Meyeron 082 578 7617.

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying clubwas officially launched at the Penin-

sula Hotel in Sea Point last week.The club, which has been in existence

for only a fewmonths, tackles theworld-wide challenges and effects of bullyingat schools. Founded by a mother, Bever-ley Davids, who saw her son suffer be-cause of bullies, she vowed to do some-thing about bullying.Since the formation of the clubDavids

has visited different schools in CapeTown and educated teachers, parentsand pupils on bullying (People’s Post,“Pupils educated on bullying”, 16 June).Davids believes not a lot is being done

to address bullying.“Watching my son suffer because of

bullying and no-one to help really tore

my heart apart. We knocked on literallyevery door but no-one could help him.I watched in pain as he suffered and allthe doorswere shut in front of us. That’swhen I realised I had to do something tohelp others as well,” she says.

Left brokenAttending the launch last week was

Durban author Sandhir Kumar Sew-mungal (21), who has suffered at thehands of bullies while in school.With no-one to turn to, pen and paper

become his best friends and he chroni-cled everything that happened to him.However, what Sewmungal remembersis that bullying leaves you broken.“You become so angry and lonely that

you can’t help yourself. It tears youapart. For most people it has long-termeffects, like nightmares, and they be-come so aggressive. It’s such a pain thatwith such devastating effects of bullyingnot somuch is being done to help the vic-tims. However, I would encourage par-ents to talk to their children and helpthem to open up and tell you if they arebeing bullied. Though the responsemight be slow, keep talking about it –something will eventually happen,” hesaid.

Bullying destroysUsing a piece of paper, Davids demon-

strated the effects of bullying.“When you squash a piece of paper

and unfold it again, it can unfold, but itwill never go to its original state. It hascreases that will never be fixed. So let’seducate each other, but mostly our kids,to say no to bullying, because it destroysthe person inside. Most people grow tobe lonely beings or sad and mostly bro-ken inside because of bullying, so let’sfight together to make sure that we winthis war against bullying,” says Davids.Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club is

run by Davids and her family. Anyonewho wants to donate to help them carryout the message of saying no to bullyingcan can Davids on 073 557 8849 or021 372 0252.

Touring to help sufferersTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

When Fred Mentjies (66) from River-side in Tokai was diagonised with

prostate cancer three years ago hethought all was lost. He gave himself oneyear to live.

The father of two says when somethinglike that happens it takes everythingaway.

“It’s such a huge knock. You try to denyit, ask why it’s happening to you. You justliterally start counting the days you’releft with to live,” he says.

He vividly remembers he came from thedoctor shaken about the news. Being afriend of Archbishop Emeritus DesmondTutu and drawing inspiration from him,he gave his friend a call and broke thenews to him. Tutu himself has had pros-tate cancer. What Tutu told him got himthinking.

“In his calm voice he told me to sit andfeel sorry for myself or to get up and go.He told me it wasn’t a death sentence andthe doctors were good. After those wordsI had a tremendous decision to make. Tosit and feel sorry for myself or to actuallydo something,” he says.

40 days in KrugerThat’s when the idea of touring to help

other people with cancer came to mind.He decided to tour so that he could raisemoney to help where it’s needed. Last yearhe and his wife Janey (62), who is also acancer survivor, toured the Kruger Na-tional Park through an initiative thatthey have called “Fredo touring for Can-sa”. They stayed there for 40 days andraised R32 000 to help people living withcancer and others who support peoplewith cancer. After that successful tourthey thought to themselves that itwouldn’t end there – it was just the begin-ning of something big.

Today, they are living for yet another37 days in Namibia, hoping to be back bythe end of August. Their aim is to raiseat least R100 000.

“We are so excited about the whole tour.Most of all we want to do it for other peo-ple. If it wasn’t for the people who support-

ed me I wouldn’t be here. When you havecancer, you need a warm bed, clothes, sup-port, food as you take your medication, sowe are hoping that we will raise this mon-ey and help those that are in need. Thereare others who are less fortunate, so ifthey are diagnosed with cancer they losehope. What we want to do now is to bringa new ray of hope to those people and givethem courage. To let them know that thereare people who care out there and thereis the support that they need,” he says.

Mind on the roadFred’s wife says they are excited about

the tour.“We are extremely busy as the days are

counting down as we are trying to put ev-erything together. Since we are both can-cer survivors, we thought we should do

something to help other people as well. Weare putting things together and the mindis set for the road. We are doing this sothat we help people who might find them-selves affected by cancer directly or indi-rectly,” she says.

Glad for the helpAngela Rodi, a community mobiliser

for Cansa in Mowbray, says all Cansa’svarious departments need funding, sothey are glad that people are willing tohelp.

“There are a lot of things that we do andwe need money to keep going. We are hap-py that something like this is being doneand we are seeing a lot of people that areknocking at our doors asking how theycan help. We are really grateful. We arein need of every bit of help,” says Rodi.

OU KAAPSE WEG

Beware, we shareroads with natureMotorists need to bemore vigi-

lant and reduce their speedwhen driving near nature re-serves, especially at night, toavoid knocking down animalswhen they cross the roads, oftenunexpectedly, the council haswarned.

Recently a caracal and Capegrysbokwere killed, and over thelast year various animals, in-cluding tortoises, Cape cobras,mole snakes, small-spotted gen-ets and porcupines, have beenkilled.

In most cases, animals are hes-itant to cross roads because it isa foreign environment to them sothey will often do so suddenlyand unexpectedly, explains Jo-han van der Merwe, mayoralcommittee member for energy,environmental and spatial plan-ning.

“The challenge is two-fold:Many of the motorists are notaware that they are drivingthrough these proclaimed naturereserve areas, while at the sametime many of the animals arenocturnal, so it makes it difficultfor motorists to see the animalsat night when they unexpectedlycross the roads searching for food,” he says.

Motorists are urged to slow down and ad-here to speed restrictions, particularly atnight, when the nocturnal animals aremostat risk, Van der Merwe says.

“It is sad that over the past few monthsthere has been an increase in the numberof animals being killed, particularly alongOtto du Plessis Drive and the R27 as well as

Ou Kaapse Weg,” he says.“Capetonians are fortunate to share this

city with a range of unique plants and ani-mals, many of which are found nowhereelse in the world. We have a responsibilityto ensure that we conserve and protect ourbiodiversity. The loss of a single animal canhave a significant impact on the environ-ment.”

Motorists have been urged to slow down after a numberof animals, like a Cape grysbok, were killed near naturereserves.

The City of Cape Town will give a total ofR2 million to community organisationsthat help residents.

Community organisations working inthe City’s areas of focus can apply for aportion of the funding now.

Thepolicy allows for funding tobemadeavailable to external organisations tohelpdeliver services in the City’s area of re-sponsibility, to enable community devel-opment.

TheCity has an established grant-in-aidpolicy, but this is the first time that thesocial development and early childhooddevelopment directorate is disbursing thefunds. “Our directorate is only a fewyearsold and so until now our focus has beenon getting our internal policies, processand programmes up and running,” saidSuzette Little, mayoral committee mem-ber for social development and earlychildhood development.

“We are now in a better position to buildpartnerships with community organisa-

tions working in the social developmentsector for the benefit of our residents.”

Community organisations working inthe areas of early childhood development,street people, substance abuse, youth de-velopment, vulnerable groups and pover-ty alleviation can apply for funding.

The minimum amount per project isR100 000 and the applications need to in-clude a description of the project and abusiness plan.

“We are bound by legislation to do prop-er checks and balances and to ensure thatthe funds are spent wisely.

“I am excited about the prospect of em-powering organisations to help us changethe social fabric in our communitieswhere the need is greatest,” adds Little.

Application forms for grants are availa-ble at the various social development andearly childhood development district offi-ces.V For more information call Patty des Fountain on021 417 0141 or Fatima Davids on 021 417 4086.

NGOs get R2m tohelp Capetonians

The provincial government wants tohonour the legacy of former presidentNelsonMandelabydevelopinga tourismroute which traces his journey in theprovince.

Alan Winde, provincial minister ofeconomic opportunities, says it is part ofa series of heritage tourism proposals toboost the province’s growth.

The proposal comes from South Afri-can Tourism’s mobile app, which isbased on a map of Madiba-inspired tour-ism attractions.

“Themapwas launched last year to en-courage local and international touriststo walk in the footsteps of Madiba. Wehope these initiatives will offer an au-thentic experience to visitors, allowingthem to experience a piece of the West-ern Cape’s rich cultural heritage,” hesays.

The proposal is to develop signage forthe Madiba route, which will highlightculturally significant sites in the prov-ince, Winde explains.

“It is our goal to develop clear signage

for the Madiba route so tourists are ableto easily navigate to the different sites.We will work with local and nationaltourism authorities to market the route.At this stage this is a proposal, and wewill engage the relevant stakeholders.Collaboration with key roleplayers iskey to ensure the project’s success,” hesays.

The proposedMandela journeywill bemade up of Robben Island, Pollsmoorprison, Drakenstein correctional servi-ces, City Hall and Parliament.

The proposal will be included in theaction plan aimed at growing the tour-ism industry. It will be submitted for ap-proval next month.

“We can increase the economic contri-bution of the tourism sector by up toR28bn from R17bn. It could add up to100 000 formal jobs. Currently, 204 000residents are formally employed in thetourism sector. To achieve these goals,the private and public sector have to col-laborate and jointly invest in a set of fo-cused, specific projects.”

About 100 electronic devices were con-fiscated from prisoners in Pollsmoor

prison last weekend; half of these beingcellphones.

Dan Plato, provincial minister of com-munity safety, says inmates’ access tocommunicating at will with the outsideworld undermines the hard work doneby the police and the judicial system.

“The police spend valuable time andresources to gather the necessary evi-dence to ensure that criminals are putbehind bars, and situations where thesegangsters and drug lords are allowedcontinued access to the outside world se-verely undermines the police’s efforts tokeep our communities safe,” he says.

Plato says stronger and continued ac-tion is required against any inmate

found with any communication deviceas well as against any prison employeefound to be aiding it.

The department of correctional servi-ces is apparently implementing cell-phone detection technology at Polls-moor. Plato says he has requested boththe national minister of correctional ser-vices and the acting provincial policecommissioner to update him on the useof communication devices in prisons,the impact it has on crime preventionoutside prisons, as well as how involvedcrime intelligence are in combating it.

“If we are to have any measurable im-pact in combatting crime and organisedcrime related to gangs and drugs in theprovince we will all have to play ourpart,” he says.

POLLSMOOR

Phones in jail‘undermines’ prison

An Athlone police patrol van rolled withprisoners in the back after the driver alleg-edly ignored a red robot and was knockedby another motorist.

The accident happened at the corner ofPrince George Drive and De Waal Road onTuesday last week at about 16:30.

Warrant Officer Keith Chandler, spokes-person of the Diep River police station, saysthe driver of the police van was driving onPrince George Drive in the direction of DeWaal Road, transporting five awaiting trialprisoners.

The driver of the other vehicle involvedin the accident is a Plumstead resident.

“It is alleged that the police vehicle wastravelling with blue lights and siren, trans-porting prisoners to Pollsmoor prison.

“The police vehicle went through the redtraffic light and the other vehicle collidedinto the side of the police vehicle, causingthe police van to roll,” Chandler says.

He says all the passengers in the policevan were slightly injured and were taken tohospital for treatment.

A case of reckless driving was opened atthe Diep River police station.

versity of Cape Town the past week SouthAfrica came fourth. The first place went toEngland.The championshipswere comprised of in-

dividual and team competitions.The u.20 team of South African foilists

We hear of people taking the law into their own handsto deal with criminals, more often these days.Andwhile not only the hardened criminals, but also the

petty thieves are “punished for their crimes” by ordinarymembers of the community fed up by a “lack of policeaction”, very often vigilante justice becomes more thanjust a “simple hiding”.Recently, a suspectedmurderer paidwith his livewhen

residents of Kalkfontein decided to take the law into theirown hands.The reason? The community “distrusts” the police.

Theyalso complain about the lackof policing in their areaas is the case with other crime ridden areas across theCape.In a separate incident earlier thisweek, nine foreigners

and a South African were robbed at the bottom of Lion’sHead in Cape Town.When the victims chased the criminals after the rob-

bery, one called the SouthAfrican emergency number 112– without success.He phoned his mother, who tried phoning the 112 emer-

gency number as well as 10111 for over 20 minutes. Whenshe finally got through to the Cape Town Central policestation, the police officer on the phone did not knowwhere Lion’s Head is. The victims gave up after waitingon help to arrive for 35.Although the above incidents are not related , there is

an agreement: the police were conspicuous in their ab-sence.Such clumsy action (or rather a lack of any action) is

a blot on the name of our sergeants.The longer this poor service continues, the more the

community will continue to take the law into their ownhands – in itself a frightening and unacceptable idea!

Look out for morel mush-roomI’m a Rondebosch-based mushroomforager and fungi researcher in need ofsome knowledge and/or advice fromFish Hoek residents who may havespotted an extremely rare mushroomgrowing in the valley.The morel mushroom is highly

sought-after for its excellent taste and isextremely rare to find in Cape Town.Research has led me to believe that

Fish Hoek was once a hotspot forforaging wild morels, but this is goingback over 50 years.

The morel is brown-yellow, shaped likea small conical brain and usually popsup in spring when the ground warmsup, at least in the northern hemisphereit does.They have been known to pop up after

fires and are believed to be mycorrhizal,meaning that they grow under certaintrees – in this case oak, ash, elm andapple orchards.I am curious as to whether they are

still around.Finding one, or a patch of them, would

be quite a discovery.Any information about these mush-

rooms and their last seen location wouldbe highly appreciated.I wish to find them and collect sam-

ples, as to preserve their spores forfuture propagation around the city.Eating them is undoubtedly a bonus!Please email me at justin@hsm.co.za if

you know anything of this rare fungusthat grew in Fish Hoek.

Cry of desperationBy the time this article is published,another two coffins would have beencarried by bereaved family members toour local cemetery.Another two young lives cut off in the

prime of their youth.More tears, more heartache and more

uncertainty of what to expect next.As a community we are desperate –

desperate to see the end of this senselessbloodshed, desperate to be freed from thisevil that seems to overwhelm everythingin its wake.These are not words of despair, but

words of desperation. In spite of all ourefforts we humanly endeavour to do tomake our community a better place, theauthorities still ignore or choose tooverlook what is happening.As community leaders, organizations,

structures and churches we are doing ourlevel best but the reality is that we arenot the authorities. We are not the police,social development, court or the govern-ment.As long as basic services are not

delivered within the reach of the commu-nity, desperate times will prevail.I hope out of our desperation this time

round we will keep those who areresponsible to render these services,accountable and that if they don’t weshall collectively deal with the matter.

Gender violencea serious issueThe horrendous and brutal attacksagainst the courageous 14-year-oldGrabouw girl, and the 18-year-old matricpupil, Sanet de Lange begs the question,“When will civil society start winningthe battle of violence against women?”The ongoing scourge of the abuse ofwomen and children continues unabat-ed!Have we forgotten the brutal murder

of 2-year old baby Zoey Petersen at thehands of her drug-crazed father?The most vulnerable in our society

continues to be violated almost on a

daily basis, despite campaigns such asthe 16 Days of Activism for No Violenceagainst Women and Children, whichruns globally from 25 November (Inter-national Day for the Elimination ofViolence against Women) through toInternational Human Rights Day on 10December. I urge civil society to collec-tively tackle the issue of gender violenceseriously, and for government to securethe highest political commitment to endthe pandemic expeditiously.

Muggings, robberies must be reportedIt’s been safe and quiet for the last fewmonths at sunrise beach where localMuizenberg residents enjoy walkingtheir dogs or just taking a family stroll.But in the last week three violent

attacks have occurred.Two Sundays ago a man was robbed

at knife point and last Tuesday twoseparate incidents of ladies being robbedat gun point, at 10:00 by a couple of

youths.This is terrible. The sad thing is most

of these are never reported to the police,as people feel “What’s the point?” Thenthey complain that the police do noth-ing. These attacks need to be reported inorder for the law to do something aboutit!

One of the oldest museums in the South-ern hemisphere is receiving amultimil-

lion rand upgrade.The Iziko South African Museum, which

was opened in 1879, has received fundingfrom the provincial department of arts andculture to create a bigger museum.The renovation and upgrade of the muse-

um will facilitate greater access to the col-lections and enable Iziko to work towardsbecoming a world-class museum, explainsmuseum CEO Rooksana Omar.“The courtyard project consists of the

construction of six storeyswithin the court-yard of the existing research building, adja-cent to the UCT campus. When completed,this building will house the research collec-tions, offices and laboratories, as well asgive unique behind-the-scenes access to thepublic to view collections in storage, scien-tists and technical staff working on fossilsand other specimens,” she says.The project aims to increase the storage

space for the growing natural history andsocial history collections, improve visitor

access to the research and collections withthe aim of increasing public awareness andprovide additional office and exhibitionspaces for Iziko museums.The renovations are expected to be com-

pleted late next year. A report by the Cen-tral City Improvement District estimatesthe project to be worth R180m.The upgrade will allow Iziko to “lift the

veil” on the daily activities behind the pub-lic exhibitions and share the full extent ofits collections with visitors, Omar says.“Visitors can learn to better understand

the constantly evolving universe we live inandmarvel at the biological and cultural di-versity of our planet. This will enable Izikoto engage in a more meaningful way withthe public,” she says.Themuseumwill remain open during the

renovations, although some exhibitionsand areas may be closed.“The work on siteis scheduled in such a manner to minimisethe impact on the visitor experience. Noise,dust and closed exhibition areas might bea slight temporary inconvenience, but oncecompleted, the Iziko South African Muse-um will provide visitors with access to aworld-class museum,” she says.

@EarlHaupt

Soccer lovers in the MotherCity are set for a treat thisweekend as the Cape Town

Stadium will play host to the inau-gural Cape Town Cup.

English Premier League sideCrystal Palace, as well as 18-timePortuguese Premier League cham-pions Sporting Clube de Portugal(Sporting Lisbon), will featurealongside local clubs Ajax CapeTown and SuperSport United.

The tournament will kick off onFriday at 17:45 when SuperSportUnited’s Gordon Igesund (a formerAjax Cape Town coach himself)and his charges pit their skillsagainst Alan Pardew’s Palace.

This will be followed by home fa-vourites Ajax facing off againstSporting, who have recently ap-pointed former Benfica coachJorge Jesus to mentor the Lisbonoutfit.

According to Sporting’s Joao Go-mes, they are proud to be invitedto play in the pre-season spectaclein Cape Town.

“We are certain that participa-tion in this tournament will be ben-eficial for the preparation of thefirst team for the season,” says Go-mes.

Deserved championsThe Badgers would seal the deal

in the final match of the festival,beating Kearsney 3-0, with goalsfrom captain Andrew Cronje, Matt-hew McConkey and Ryan Crowe.

According to Jon Cook, the Badg-ers were fully deserved champi-ons.

“Throughout this outstandingevent, the Badgers were compactin defence, inventive in midfieldand composed in front of goal.

“The Cape Town side were alsoindebted to their inspirationalgoalkeeper Mark Turner, whomade a number of breathtakingsaves at vital moments in histeam’s four matches.

“The impressive Kearsney outfitmade the Badgers work hard forthe victory, yet the goal scoring op-portunities they created didn’ttranslate into dividends.”
