"You might be jobless but you must never be hopeless," Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille told about 30 young people in Heideveld.The mayor was campaigning on the Cape Flats yesterday ahead of the August 3 elections.Her itinerary included visits to Manenberg, Gugulethu, Bridgetown and Surrey Estate.In Surrey Estate she wore a headscarf as she chatted to about 20 Muslim women and youngsters.There, she realised she had missed boeber night on Tuesday. Boeber is a traditional warm, sweet milk drink prepared halfway through Ramadan.She told the women she had come for advice."And if I did something wrong, you must say so."The women had no questions, with one simply saying: "Ons is maar tevrede met alles" (we are happy with everything) - although a resident who joined the gathering later complained that the area's refuse removal truck arrived late on Thursday evenings. This was because the driver showed up after attending school.This meant vagrants emptied their bins, leaving a mess on the pavements throughout the day.De Lille immediately phoned city councillor Ernest Sonnenberg to deal with the problem.The man, who did not want to be named, said he had worked in the sanitation department for years and was "very happy" with the mayor's response.In Bridgetown, De Lille heard from groups working with young people in the area.Mugadien Barnes, from the Heideveld Community Neighbourhood Watch, said they were targeting young recruits in a bid to deal with the area's "huge drug problem"...
