IN TABLETALK this week, Faatimah Hendricks reports that a Sunset Beach man has laid a criminal charge against the City of Cape Town’s biodiversity manager for the Milnerton region for digging up his aloes, which he says are worth at least R100 000, and dropping them at a dump. A PENSIONER who rents business premises in Parklands was approached by two men who demanded he lower his rental and pay them R5000 or face being reported to the Human Rights Commission for racism, reports Clement Deane. Armien Brill opened what he thought was an extortion case at the Parklands police station but the case number police gave him matches and unrelated shoplifting case. THE CITY of Cape Town will be carrying out repairs and upgrades to the ablution blocks along the beachfront in Table View and Melkbosstrand. The facilities will be partially closed to the public until the end of October. A WHEELCHAIR-BOUND man was just getting used to going out on his own after becoming a paraplegic, when he was robbed in the early hours of the morning on Sunday September 7 outside one of the clubs at Marine Circle in Blouberg, reports Faatimah. THE MILNERTON Neighbourhood Watch (MNW) wants you to join its cause – but you don’t have to patrol at midnight or chase down criminals, reports Clement. Sector 1 chairman Ran Mirkin wants you to be the eyes and ears of your community. This means setting up a street committee, volunteering as a street captain, setting up a WhatsApp group and – most importantly – getting to know your neighbours. RAPE IS difficult to talk about, but Community Intervention Centre manager, Megan Meredith, is encouraging victims to speak out and seek help, reports Clement. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT has approved extra personnel for the Table View police station, reports Faatimah. But station commander Colonel Dirk Vosloo says he will only start jumping for joy when the officers are actually deployed, as it’s not clear when this will happen. MEC FOR Community Safety Dan Plato told a Table View meeting last week that partnerships with the police must be strengthened, reports Clement. The top crimes, crime hot spots, the cause of crime and probable solutions were all discussed at the Determining Policing Needs and Priorities meeting at the Liebrandt van Niekerk Hall, in Table View, on Wednesday September 10.
