The building, on the corner of Kings and Tramway roads in Sea Point, will be taken over by the French School of Cape, confirms provincial public works department spokes- person Al-Ameen Kafaar. “The department executed a long-term lease with the French School of Cape Town to occupy and use the building for education- al purposes. The lease agreement with the school followed a transparent tender and public participation process,” he says. The French School will use the property as an educare centre and primary school, be- ginning from their new academic year start- ing in September. “The building is currently being refur- bished to make it suitable for educational purposes. The French School is responsible for the refurbishment, mostly inside the property but also on sections of the play- ground. The changes are necessary as the school stood empty since 2010. The French School plans to invest more than R18m in up- grades,” he says. French School spokesperson Caroline Sai says the school has been expanding rapidly in the last few years owing to an increase in immigrants and South African pupils in its kindergarten classes. “Finding a school in the CBD that could accommodate a mini- mum of 350 students with a sportsfield was quite a task. The Tafelberg site is already configured to welcome a school and its loca- tion made it ideal for us,” she says. The current building will be renovated to the school’s needs, and a brand new eco- friendly building will be constructed to house a library and cafeteria. The sports ar- ea will also be increased, Sai says. The pupils of Tafelberg Remedial School moved to their new school building in the third term of 2010, says the provincial educa- tion minister’s spokesperson Bronagh Ca- sey. “The new school had been designed in ac- cordance with Education White Paper 6, making it the first fully accessible resource centre in the province, both from a physical and curriculum accessibility point of view,” she says. The new Tafelberg school cost R45m to build. With the building standing vacant for sev- eral years, residents became concerned over the security of the property, says spokesper- son for the Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Fres- naye Ratepayers’ Association David Polovin. “We are always concerned that un- used or under-utilised buildings are targets for misuse,” he says. Sea Point Community Police Forum chair- person Heather Tager says there were ini- tially a few security concerns after the premises were vacated, but the site was se- cured shortly afterwards. Ratepayers have welcomed the news of new tenants, hoping it will breathe new life into the area. “It is set up as a school and has traditional- ly been used for this purpose. As long as there is a real need for this use I see no rea- son for change,” he says. “However, I think that the authorities could be more creative by consulting and working with us to implement ideas that would retain the use for tuition, but also re- alise the potential to facilitate development to the rather tatty surrounding buildings,” he says.

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

Crushed in a carriage with many otherfrustrated commuters, panicking be-cause the clock is ticking andyour shift

should start soon, is certain to add miseryto anyone’s day.This is what many Metrorail commuters

encounterweek afterweek owing to delayedtrains across the province.Andwhile the rail service operator points

a finger at cable theft retarding their opera-tions, disgruntled passengers have hadenough of using the “unreliable” transportmode.

Pen to paperKylieWilford has been a regular commut-

er for nine years and has been disappointedby Metrorail’s service “since day one”.But now she has had enough.She has drawn up a petition encouraging

commuters to stand together and demandbetter service since complaints to the serv-ice provider “fall on deaf ears”.“Metrorail doesn’t care about its commut-

ers. As long as they receive the money forthe bad service, they are the only ones smil-ing,” she says.One of her colleagues is under threat of

losing her job owing to continuously arriv-ing late for work.“Shehasnoalternative transport. Shehas

received countless warnings for arrivinglate, even though it’s due to delayed trains.What is Metrorail going to do about that?”she asks.More people are making use of public

transport owing to the never-ending petrolprice increases, Wilford continues, leadingto Metrorail’s profits increasing.However, she says, it seems the money is

not being used to improve its infrastructureand operations.“They proved they could deliver a better

service with the 2010 World Cup, so whycan’t it be done now? Was all that just afaçade for the world to see?” she fumes.

‘Third class’Poor public transport has a direct and

negative immediate effect on business, saysCape Chamber of Commerce TransportPortfolio Committee chairperson Peter Hu-go.“Businesses lose money and that, of

course, has an effect on the economy, espe-cially when a large part of the province’swork force use rail services as their prima-rymeans of transportation,”Hugo explains.Metrorail is “robbing” commuters, in-

censed passenger Christo Lakay insists.He travels to work by train and believes

he is paying for a service he is not receiving.Late trains have left a dent in his pocket ashis income is affected owing to hours lostfor arriving late. “Customers are beingtreated as third-class citizens,” Lakay says.He has lodged numerous complaints in

the past. No feedback was received, heclaims.Commuters are often left waiting at sta-

tions, or even between stops, for hours at atime, others grumble.

Lines of communicationThe loss of confidence in rail transport

can be directly attributed to cable theft, in-sists Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott.“The continuous theft and vandalism of

assets has led to a situation where serviceshave generally been unreliable and there-fore not meeting customer expectations,”she says.In cases where anticipated delays will ex-

ceed 30 minutes, alternative bus transportshould be arranged.“Buses on stand-by at strategic points are

sent to the affected area but the efficiencyof alternative bus transport is determinedby traffic congestion during peaks and thecapacity of the bus operator. About 15 to 20buses are required to service a single train,where trains have a capacity limit of 1 200,to transport affected commuters,” she says.

Upgrades on the cardsTo improve services, the Passenger Rail

Agency of South Africa is currently imple-menting a rail renewal investment pro-gramme to the tune of R32b over the nextthree years. They will be focusing on issuessuch as signalling and telecommunications,station modernisation, rail network exten-sions and the general overhaul of Metrorailcoaches.Scott says: “The benefits of the current in-

vestment programme will only be realisedin themediumto long-term.Themost imme-diate goal is to bring about visible and short-term improvements that changes custom-ers’ travel experience.”But Wilford dismisses the plans as “rub-

bish”. “Metrorail is just trying to shut upthe commuters. They don’t need to spend awhole lot of money. All they need to do isfix their service,” she insists.“The three year plan is just a delay. In the

process, people are losing their lives andjobs.”Commuters are encouraged to collect a

copyofMyline at their station to ensure theyhave the most recent travel information be-fore embarking. Social media provide real-time updates. Sign the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/717/323/081/de-manding-better-more-effective-trains-im-mediately/#sign.

The upgrade of the Strand Street Quarry re-mains in a financial quandary.The funding, originally withdrawn last

year, was requested from last month’s ad-justment budget, says ward councillor DaveBryant.An adjustment budget is carried out half-

way during the financial year and looks atcouncil’s projected income and reallocatesfunding according to the expected incomeand any cases of under-spending.The funding of R4,5mwas set aside in Feb-

ruary last year and tender documentationwas submitted to council’s supply chainmanagement department during April. Butby June, when the consultant team was dueto be appointed, the funding had dried up.According to a report submitted to the

mayor last year, the funds were all chan-nelled to the Cape Town Stadium.Funding was withdrawn “mainly as a re-

sult of higher thanbudgeted for expenditureincluding senior council and other legalcost relating to the Stadium ConsultationFee Arbitration”, the report states.This despite the timeframes of theQuarry

Street Project being accepted and endorsedduring a meeting between the mayor andthe Mayoral Committee in 2012.When the funding was diverted last year,

a request was submitted to have the adjust-ment budget finance the project, explainsBryant. However, no funds were awardedduring the process, stalling the project.The project was also earmarked as a

World Cup legacy.The community is disappointed, says Bo-

Kaap Civic Association chairperson OsmanShaboodien.“There is very much a need for an up-

grade. However, more thought needs to beput into the upgrade to make it more Bo-

Kaap friendly. The quarry has been neglect-ed for many years and needs some produc-tive activities,” he says.The quarry is often used as an escape

route for criminals and an upgrade is need-ed to secure the site, says Bo-Kaap Neigh-bourhood Watch chairperson Anwar Val-ley.The lack of funding has had a knock-on

effect on SANParks, who have been consid-ering using the Strand Street Quarry to ac-commodate a tourism gateway to SignalHill and the Noon Gun, which would caterto a million visitors every year. The projectmay include the installation of a funicular,a cable railway which pulls tram-like vehi-cles up the rock face, or a cable car similarto Table Mountain.SANParks is currently undertaking a

technical feasibility study and risk assess-ment, says SANParks operations managerfor Table Mountain National Park PaddyGordon. “The City is proposing to preparea precinct plan for the quarries. The out-come of the feasibility study will feed intothis plan,” he says.The project involves a range of stakehold-

ers, Gordon says, and although council isone of these stakeholders, the project is notdependent on their involvement.However, Shaboodien has his reserva-

tions about the project, believing it catersfor tourists, excluding locals.“The proposed funicular needs to be in-

corporated into the Bo-Kaap areas. The ideawas mooted by us many years ago. Peopleare more aware these days that construc-tion of these kinds of things should benefitthe community,” he says.Mayoral Committeemember for Econom-

ic, Environmental and Spatial PlanningGarreth Bloor says: “While the City under-stands that there is a lot of interest in thismatter, we are unfortunately not in a posi-tion to give clarity on it at this stage.”

Standing tall is the newly reno-vated statue of Queen Victoria inSea Point, at the intersection ofMain and Regent roads.

The fountain and statue wereestablished in 1897 by women’sorganisation Ladies of Green andSea Point to commemorate thecompletion of the 60th year of thereign of Queen Victoria.

The fountain was designed toprovide a drinking area for hors-es, which were used to pull thecity’s tramway carriages, saysward councillor BeverleySchafer.

The statue required extensivemaintenance, with much of thedetailed ironwork broken off orrusted.

Some of the details were recastand mounted on the statue, andone of the legs was replaced.

The fountainshavenot been re-connected to a water supply, dueto the cost involved in linking thestatue to underground waterpipes.

In attendance at lastweek’s un-veiling was British ConsulateGeneral Chris Trott, who cut theribbon.

Safe, clean streets are no longer enough forthe Central City Improvement District.

The organisation is now adding a splashof colour to the CBD’s pavements, througha greening and beautification project.

The project was started after the improve-ment district decided to do more than justclean streets, says CEO Tasso Evangelinos.

The CCID, a top-up service provider tocouncil, proactivley tackles cleaning issuesby providing services such as sweeping,drain cleaning, graffiti removal and garden-ing services.

“We reached a ‘break-even’ where we nowhave most of these under control and weneeded to take it to another level. That’swhen we introduced new products such asthe large flower pots in Long Street, whichare serviced by NPO Straatwerk but‘owned’ by the retailers in terms of manag-ing them and decorating them, and hangingbaskets in St George’s Mall,” he explains.

Local businesses have also been caughtup in the movement to create a prettier city.

A recent greening project was undertak-en in Martin Hammerschlag Way by prop-erty investment fund, Vunani, in order tosoften the street and provide a backdrop offoliage and shade for surrounding business-es. This project included planting 16 fevertrees, four metres in height, along thestreet.

Lanes have also been targeted for up-grades, with Venken Lane, which linksLong Street with Keerom Street, and Bar-rack Lane receiving make-overs.

Barrack Lane’s proposal won the DesignIndaba’s Your Street Live competition,

where the intention was to create a spacewhere people could interact with each otherand small business owners could sell theirwares. The lane has been transformed on anumber of occasions from a dreary passage-way to a yoga studio and even an outdoormovie theatre.

Venken Lane was transformed by advo-cates Andrew Brown and Norman Arendseafter they purchased premises on the lane.

However, the CCID’s project has morethan just aesthetic benefits, Evangelinossays.

“It encourages retailers and other stake-holders to take ownership of and pride inthe area. Clean and well-maintained spaceimproves the perception of the area. An at-tractive CBD creates a positive impressionto tourists and investors, increases retailinteraction and encourages café society anda lifestyle lived outside in public spaces. Avibrant CBD leads to increased investmentand increased job opportunities and ulti-mately it becomes a real a win-win for all,”he explains.

The project is supported on the ground byStraatwerk, who provide the gardeningservices.

“Business owners can make use of Straat-werk to provide some or all of the labourrequirements for apavementbeautificationexercise. Notable instances of this partner-ship are the remarkable improvement ofthe centre island in Spin Street and thegreening improvements in Jetty Street, allof which were done and are maintained byStraatwerk’s team,” Evangelinos says.“The CCID and many other partners arecurrently giving more than 200 people workin beautification as well as other projectssuch as road maintenance and cleaning.”

High hopes for talented quartetLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC)has high hopes for four of itsmost talentedyoung cricketers.Lehan Botha, Ethan Nates, Ali Akbar

Shaik and Guy Sheena are all members ofthe club’s u-13 team and have been in fineform over the last few months.Team manager Shaheed Shaik believes

the quartet are capable of going all thewayto the Protea team.“The sky is the limit with these boys; I

wouldn’t put it beyond them to go all theway to national level,” he says.“I (coach) many players and teams;

these four boys just have a really polishedtechnique. In cricket, you can’t reallyteach a player good technique. The waythese boys play is very good. I’ve had somesenior cricketers watch them and marvelat their shots.”All four boys have racked up individual

achievements over the last two years.Lehan, a Rondebosch Boys’ Preparatory

School pupil, was selected for theWesternProvince u-11 team in 2012.The all-rounder has scored two centu-

ries and half centuries 11 times this sea-son, and is also a seambowlerwhoregular-ly takes wickets bowling into the wind.Wicketkeeper Ethan, fromHertzliaMid-

dle School, also scored two centuries and10half centuries this season.Healso repre-sented the WP u-13B side in Worcester inDecember last year.

Both Guy and Ali Akbar also representedWP in the national inter-provincial tourna-ment in Bloemfontein.The pair did exceptionally well, with Guy

being named as the tournament’s most suc-cessful bowler after taking 16 wickets andAli Akbar finishing as WP’s most economi-cal bowler.Ali Akbar, WPCC captain, took 111 wick-

ets last year. Shaik, Ali Akbar’s father, addsthe quartet’s excellent skill is due to a combi-nation of natural ability, good coaching and

balance of matches.Together the four stars led the WPCC u-13

team to 38 victories out of 40 games last, withonly losses against older teams.They also won the inaugural u-12 tourna-

ment in Cape Town last year, beating all sev-en other teams and winning the final.And Shaik’s side also finished as the top

under-12 side at the Feedem Challenge tour-nament in Worcester last year.“The teamhas 11 good players and four ex-

ceptional players,” Shaik says.

“All 11 are very good; they are keen com-petitors. They are very excited about thegame. Whenever there is a game, they areavailable.”He says other stand-out players in the

team are medium-pacer Rameez Chicktay,off-spinner FinnanWyly, middle-order bats-man Henry Brink and leg-spinner RaeesCarr. The teamwill hope to add another titleto the team’s growing list of honours laterthis year, when they play in the Feedem Pit-seng Knock-out tournament.

INTO THE FUTURE: Western Province Cricket Club u-13 players, from left, Lehan Botha, Ethan Nates, Ali Akbar Shaik and Guy Sheena are all heldin high regard for their on-field prowess. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Tigers tearup MaroonMachineLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCTwill face NelsonMandelaMetro-politan University next week inwhat is shapingup tobeanacid test.

The Ikey Tigers produced Jekyll andHyde performances in the first twoVarsi-ty Cup fixtures, while the Madibas areone of two undefeated teams in the tour-nament.UCT started the Varsity Cup with a 47-

24 drubbing at home to Pukke last week,but seemed to turn the cornerwith a stun-ning, 33-16 bonus point victory againstarch rivals Stellenbosch University atthe Danie Craven Stadium on Monday.The visitors were the better side from

the first whistle and showed their superi-ority by demolishing Maties at two con-secutive scrums early on.But despite the territorial, possession

and set phase dominance, the hostsopened the scoring in the eighth minute.Inside centre JohnnyKotze tookadvan-

tage of the same lax defending that sawUCT concede six tries against Pukke,crashingoverwith twodefendersnearby.Robert du Preez’s conversation gave thehosts an 8-0 lead.Thematchwasmore balanced after the

score, but the turning point came in the20thminute whenMaties flank Beyers deVilliers was yellow-carded.UCT almost immediately took advan-

tage of the numerical advantage, withflank Jason Klaasen spinning away fromamauled line-out to crash over and DeanGrant tying the scores with a conversion.Ikeys grabbed the lead seven minutes

later, with the maul serving as a the per-fect attacking platform again.

Maties committed more numbers tostop the drive this time, but the ball wasspread left for wing Lihleli Xoli to touchdown after Huw Jones and Richard Stew-art sucked in more defenders in the mid-field. Grant missed the conversion, buttook UCT to a 15-8 half-time lead with aconversion just before the whistle.UCT resumed their dominance in the

second-half and Klaasen popped up againto score his second try. The ball wasripped away from Xoli in the 22 andKlaasen pounced to pick up and dive overthe unguarded try-line.Grant goaled the conversion and

stretched UCT’s lead again with penaltyin the 61st minute.Maties looked beatenwith the scores at

25-8, but the hosts slowly regained a foot-hold in the game.TheMaroonMachine piled on the pres-

sure and it finally told in the 73rd minutewhen Du Preez darted through a gap inthe 22 to score, then converted his owntry to take the scores to 25-16.With Maties hunting a converted try

and another score to win the game, UCTput the result beyond doubt.Jones clung to a flat pass, sliced

through a gap in midfield and wasbrought down short of the try-line. ButIkeys captain Liam Slatem was on handto pick up and dive over. Grant added theextras and a touch of gloss to the score-line.The victory is UCT’s second ever

against Maties in the history of the tour-nament, and beating the three-timechampionswill provide somemuchneed-ed confidence ahead of the clash againsttheMadibas in Port Elizabeth onMondayevening.
