Burglars are using another new modus operandi when breaking into residential properties: they are coming through the roof. Historically, break-ins through the roof affected commercial and industrial buildings only, and until recently, Knight Security Solutions (KSS) Operations staff had not seen a break-in through the roof of residential properties for more than 10 years.

KSS Operations staff have now, over the past three months, investigated six break-ins through the roof of residential properties. The burglars gain access into the property, then get on to the roof of the house. They know how to gain access at the furthest point from the bedrooms (so they are not heard). They remove a few roof tiles and then kick a hole through the ceiling board, enter the house and then steal items before leaving the same way.

To detect these housebreakers before they can get to the house, it is suggested that you install outdoor perimeter protection or a few specially designed motion sensors for ceiling spaces.

 

Crime has evolved and we as security service providers feel obliged to keep our community abreast of changes.

Form 5 St Anne’s student, Rumbidzai Vambe, attended an awards ceremony at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre recently where she received a 3rd place prize in the 21st Poetry Africa Schools Poetry Competition English Category for her entry titled: Inkondlo Yokudumisa (A praise poem). 

Inkondlo Yokudumisa
(A praise poem)

Just like the sun, one descending at dusk,
We are a country slowly losing our splendour;
Our ambitious hue, our delicious majesty and grace
Are vanishing into the dark,
Scattered, squandered aimlessly losing place.

Just like the sun, one settling at sundown,
Our politicians have fallen, descended further
Down the seam of Africa, melting away,
Painting our country with deep shades of indiscretion and ignominy.
But just like the sun, we have fallen but we will rise again,
Siwile, kodwa sizovuka.

And just like the sun, one glorious at sunrise
We will scatter brilliance and blaze over our land,
And it will nourish seeds of hope,
Seeds that will blossom into prosperity and power.
This light will kiss our nation,
One lush in resources,
One chromatic in diversity,
But most importantly,
Sun-kissed and bright with potential.
But just like the sun, we have fallen but we will rise again,
Siwile, kodwa sizovuka.

And just like the sun, one seized by the murk of the night sky,
We are a people fallen, painted black with social diseases
Racism, sexism, classism.
But no night sky is truly ever dark,
Let the youth be the light, the stars, like sequins in the night sky,
We will do better, we will let light sparkle through
And it will dance over our county’s derision and dishonour.

And just like the sun, one dazzling with hope at sunrise,
Light will shine through,
It will give way to a new music; one with a robust rhythm and harmony
One that carries a powerful new melody,
One mesmerizing with a tune of promise and prospect.
We will be the light.
No longer tainted; no longer an abyss of black.
Because just like the sun, we have fallen but we will rise again,
Siwile, kodwa sizovuka.

 

The direct translation of "Siwile, kodwa sizovuka" is "We have fallen, but we will rise".

The St Anne's Education in Partnership Programme [STEPP] is an independently funded, non-profit, social responsibility programme, housed at St Anne's College.

Grade 11 girls manage, monitor and administer the STEPP partnerships.

 

There are now 8 partnerships that the girls attend. The partnerships are:

STEPP donated a classroom to the Lions River Combined School this term. The classroom in the form of an edutainer, it is equipped with tables, chairs, educational games, books, burglar guards and other security and electricity.

 

Lions River School has moved from the Sappi forest on the Piggly Wiggly road into the heart of the community in a bid to keep the children off the roads and out of the isolated forests.

 

So far the school has managed to grow four classrooms in the Lions River community, which has seen enrolment go up. This in turn may eventually lead to a school being built right next to the community's homes.

 

Last year STEPP donated a library which was filled with books and works as a small classroom aswell.
