Die graad 3-leerders van Somerset-Wes Primêr het opValentynsdag, dié dag van liefde gevier deur ’n hart opdie grasperk te vorm.Die tradisie van Valentynsdag is reeds eeue oud sedertSt. Valentine soldate wat in Romeinse tye verbied wasom te trou, gehelp het om die knoop deur te hak. Hyis hiervoor in die tronk gegooi, waar hy volgens oorleweringdie dogter van sy tronkbewaarder, Asterius, gesond ge-maak het. Voor sy teregstelling het hy vir haar glo ’n briefgeskryf geteken “jou Valentyn”. Dit was in die Middeleeuedat die idee van romantiese liefde gewild geraak het enin die 1800’s dat die gebruik begin is om blomme enkaartjies te stuur aan geliefdes.

Lourensia Park mobile shops to be closed downCASSY VAN EEDEN

Mobile shop owners in LourensiaPark are up in arms after theywere instructed by the City ofCape Town to close their doors by22 February.

Manyhomeowners in the low-costhousing area have converted roomsin their homes into small shops thatsell essential items.Mobileshopownerandhomeown-

er Shabaan Pieterse said that it’sunfair that theyareexpected toclosetheir shops as they provide an im-portant service to the community.

According to a letter issued by theCity’s department of planning andbuilding development managementon 22 January, all mobile shopowners are required to cease their“unlawful activity and comply withthe zoning scheme regulations.”

The letter also states that if shopowners do not comply with thisorder, they can be fined up toR100 000 or face imprisonment.Another mobile shop owner, who

wishes to remain anonymous, saidthese shops service the elderly whocannot get to the nearby SomersetMall.She said it is also very dangerous

for Lourensia Park residents tocross theN2and that the shops servethe needs of the community.Pieterse added that the mobile

shops are cheaper than supermar-kets elsewhere.Both shop owners said the profits

they make from selling items likebread, eggs, sweets and toiletries,are their only income.Pieterse supports his family as

well as his elderly mother-in-lawfrom the proceeds of his shop.He said having to close down

would be detrimental to him and hisfamily.Subcouncil 22 and Ward 15 Coun-

cillor Benedicta van Minnen saidshe met with the Lourensia Parkhousing committee and theneighbourhoodwatch to discuss themobile shops two weeks ago.She said that at the meeting, con-

cerns were raised about “certainhouse shops that may be sellingliquor and or other (illegal)substances.”Van Minnen said these concerns

“have been passed on to the MetroPolice for investigation.”The shop owners who spoke to the

Helderberg Gazette said it is unfairthat theyarebeinggrouped togetherwithpeoplewhosell alcohol andoth-

er possibly illegal substances fromtheir homes. They said they do notsell anything illegal and claim theyare being forced to shut down be-cause of a minority of shop ownerswho disobey the law.Pieterse has applied for rezoning,

but was told that it would not bepossible in his area. Van Minnensaid she is investigatingas towheth-er or not rezoning applications havebeen made.Van Minnen told the Helderberg

Gazette that the agreement thathome owners in Lourensia Parksigned stipulated that no mobileshops should be run from homes.

sistance; phone the MacassarPolice on 021 857 7100 or 10 111for police highway patrol vehi-cle;•Remain in the vehicle and

keep doors locked and windowsclosed while waiting for assist-ance;•Be on the lookout for pedes-

The Country Craft Market committee would like to warn Helderberg residentsagainst counterfeit R200 notes doing the rounds. This follows after three of their craftersencountered these notes this past Saturday. According to the crafters, the notes didnot feel right or have a watermark. The Braille lines did not register properly whenthe notes were folded edge-to-edge. The notes seem to be issued in 2013 with “omron”rings – a series of seemingly random dots in the blank space of the note. The culpritis described as a woman in her thirties with “dirty blonde” hair pulled back in a ponytail.

The Macassar police are looking for thisman, who is believed to be involved in aspate of armed robberies and hi-jackingsin the area. The suspect is one of six menwho are targeting residents by enteringtheir homes and robbing them at gunpoint.Police spokesperson Constable ChrisyYoung says the men are also linked to hi-jackings and that firearm cartridges havebeen found on some scenes. Young is,however, urging people not to confront themen as they are dangerous and violent.Anyone with information that can lead toarrests can phone W/O Adele Pretorius on082 444 5900.

Helderberg’s rapefigures on the riseCASSY VAN EEDEN

The Rape Crisis Centre in the Helderbergdealtwith44reportedrapesbetween25No-vember 2013 and January 2014. Thenumber of rapes in the Helderberg are in-creasing, but still very few rapes are beingreported.

Reinette Evans, director of the Rape CrisisCentre in the Helderberg, said that only onein every 35 sexual crimes is reported to Helder-berg Police. According to Statistics South Afri-ca, 66 387 rapes were reported countrywide lastyear. This figure does not take into account thenumber of rapes thatwere not reported.

Evans said that vic-tims of sexual crimeschoose not to reporttheir attacks becausein some cases familymembers pressurisethem not to report theincident.Theyalsofearthetraumaofcourtcas-es where they will have to face the attacker.

Although many rapes go unreported, Evanssaid that the SAPS in the Helderberg are effi-cient when it comes to rape cases and that oftenthe police will have arrested the perpetratorbefore the rape victim even leaves the hospital.

Evans said that if rape survivors do chooseto report the rape, they have the right to “maketheir statement in a private room, to a femaleofficer, in their own language and with a friendor family member for support”.

Constable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokespersonfor the Strand SAPS, said that they refer allrape victims to the Family Violence, Child Pro-

tection and Sexual Offences unit, where thematter will be further investigated.

Mafuna added that “due to the nature of thecrime – as we know it involves violation of pri-vacyandit isverysensitive–sometimespeopletake longer to come forward”.

“Knowing your rights and what to do is im-portant,” said Captain JP du Toit of the Lwan-dle police station. He emphasised that the firstthing a rape victim should do after the attackis to get to a safe place and tell the first personthey see what had happened as this person maybe able to support the victim in court.

Du Toit said that generally “the first thingmost people want to do after being raped is to

shower and change in-to fresh clothes. Butthis isoneof thethingsyou should not do.” DuToit said that shower-ing destroys vital evi-dence that could beused to “successfullyput your attacker in

prison”. People caring for a rape victim shouldavoid giving them tea or sugar water as evi-dence can also be collected from the person’smouth.

The Lwandle police station has a victim sup-portroomespeciallygeared forviolentandsex-ual crimes. Local crisis centres such as PATCHand Rape Cirisis Helderberg can also help rapesurvivors through the process. “When a victimarrives at these centres a call is made immedi-ately to the police and to a doctor.

The police will do a very short first interviewto establish what had happened to see if thereis any chance of catching the suspect,” said DuToit.

Work on IDA houses continueDELIAH BRINKHUIS AND DALEENFOUCHÉ

Construction on the Incremental Develop-ment Area (IDA) in Sir Lowry’s Pass will goahead today (Tuesday), after it was called toa halt during violent service-delivery proteston Thursday 6 February.

The protest, which saw 150 people blockingtheroads intoSirLowry’sVillageandburningtyres,was as a result of unhappiness about thesize of houses planned for the IDA.

Beneficiaries of the IDA, aswell as the steer-ing committee, met with City of Cape Townon Wednesday evening. A decision was madethat the project will continue as all concernswere addressed on site.

Ward 100 councillor Johan Middleton sayshe was satisfied with the outcome of themeet-ing and says the construction on the IDA wasdiscussed calmly.

Councillor TandekaGqada, theCity of CapeTown’s Mayoral Committee Member for Hu-man Settlements, says during themeeting thecommunity indicated that they will not moveto the temporary houses if their families can-not be accommodated. They will thereforerather give those with smaller families and

who are flood-stricken and destitute an oppor-tunity to move into these houses. Gqada saidthe units will each have their own sanitationand water facilities.

According to Middleton a prototype of anIDA house will be completed for residents toview within the next two weeks.

Furthermore, a meeting will be held onThursday to discuss the permanent housingproject planned for Sir Lowry’s Pass. Gqadaadds that the community indicated that theywant the formalhousingprocess to be expedit-ed.

The Riemvasmaak informal settlement wasestablished inJuly2012,whentheCityrelocat-edabout52 families frominformal settlementsinSirLowry’sPassthatwerepronetofrequentflooding.

These families are some of the beneficiarieswhowill move to the IDAwhere 177 units willbe erected on 1 100 m². Gqada says the project,which is not a formal housing project but anemergency housing project, should be com-pleted by May.

She says beneficiaries will be housed hereuntil a formal housing project is initiated.

According to Gqada the City has boughtfarms 911/1, 920 and 849 for housing projects.

Aprototypeof the structureson the IDAwill becomplet-ed within the next few weeks for the beneficiaries’approval.

Sir Lowry’s Pass residents vent their frustrations abouttheir housing needs to councillor Johan Middleton ata meeting after the protest.

What has changed in twenty years of democracy?CASSY VAN EEDEN

On 11 February 1990, former Presi-dent Nelson Mandela, fondly knownas Madiba, was released from his 27years of imprisonment.It was not long after that, that

South Africa became a democracy.On Thursday last week (13 Febru-ary), President Jacob Zuma gave the20yearsofdemocracyStateof theNa-tion address, where he encouragedSouth Africans to keep the momen-tum and continue transformation inour country.TheHelderberg Gazette took to the

streets this week to find out what lo-cals had to say about democracy andwhathaschangedin the last 20years.

Andiswa Tshemese and Oyiso Mhaga:Oyiso and Andiswa agreed that whilst theavailability of free education has improvedinSouthAfrica, unemployment andpovertyare still a dire problem. Tshemese said thatSouth Africa is too overpopulated in orderto combat unemployment.

Sam Grootboom: I think our country has be-come better in the last 20 years, we areall one nation. But it is unfair that so manypeople still don’t have homes and strugglewith poverty. It doesn’t make any senseto me, before it wasn’t like that.

Mary Grootboom: “For me nothing haschanged in these past 20 years. It is veryhard for us in this area where we still don’thave houses. I am very worried about mychildren’s future.”

Sol Hendricks: “Nothing has changed in thepast 20 years. Unemployment andhousingare still big problems.”

ZiqhamoMxakaza:“Somepeople are free, butothers still aren’t. There are big problemsin local government. I have always wantedto be a policeman, but I am told that Iam too short and that I don’t have a li-cense.”

Pearl Gould: “I think that there is freedomin our country, but it all depends on who’sin charge. But a lot of people are still disad-vantaged. I think that government shouldhelp disabled people more.”

Adrian Engelbrecht: “Of the five most fragilecountries in the world, we are the mostfragile. Yes we are a democracy but wehave the biggest budget deficit and it isonly getting bigger. There has been change,but the economy has not grown.”

Danie Theunissen: “All the troubles that wehave in our country and in our democracy,we have to take up with God, and everyonewill then live a truly democratic life.”
