Anassessment centre to help reintegrate thethousands of homeless people living in andaround the City Centre has been approved.This could signal a new start for the esti-

mated 9 000 destitute living ondoorsteps andunder bridges within the metro.A service provider was appointed for the

CityBowl area earlier thismonth, saysMay-oral Committee member for Social Develop-ment and Early Childhood Development Su-zette Little.“The City of Cape Town, through an as-

sessment of hotspots, identified the expan-sion areas for additional assessment servic-es,” she says.Council does not operate these centres,

but contracts the management from currentservice providers.Organisations, such as NGOs which pro-

vide assessment services, were last yearasked to quote for the running of centres inCape Town and eight other areas with highvagrancy numbers.Council is currently conducting a study to

establish the number of street people livingin the city, Little says.Last year, field workers around the Green

Point and Oranje-Kloof City ImprovementDistrict areas helped more than 70 peoplefind refuge in shelters or to be relocated.They also assisted many more with basic

services.The Central City Improvement District

(CCID) assisted 293 people last year. Fromthis group, 87 children and 58 adultswere re-united with family.An assessment centre, if placed centrally,

would go a long way to helping under-re-sourced organisations assist street people,says Green Point and Oranje-Kloof City Im-provement District’s chief executive MarcTruss.“The biggest problem we face is sustaina-

bility. Without having dedicated resources,it puts strain on our current fiscal obliga-tions to include socialwork as part of a holis-tic approach to fighting crime and improv-ing the areas we work in. There is a greatneed for full-time dedicated resources to ad-dress the plight of the homeless in the Cen-tral City and Atlantic Seaboard areas,” hesays.

An assessment centre would help to deter-mine the immediate needs of the homelessand the resources required to address theirspecific problems, Truss continues.“It would be the first stop in the pro-

gramme for turning around the path somepeople on the street have embarked on. Hav-ing an assessment centre to start the processof helping people get off the street would bea wonderful commodity that when used cor-rectly, andof course efficiently,will definite-ly make a difference to those who need itmost,” he says.To facilitate easy travelling, the facility

should be centrally located, such as the Ha-ven’s Napier Street shelter.“Social workerswould be able to effective-

ly assess a greater number of people than ifit is located outside the CBD,” he says.However, CCID social development man-

ager Pat Eddy says a more comprehensiveservice centre is needed.“The most important thing to understand

is that it’s not just about having an assess-ment centre. It’s about having the right typeof assessment centre that would actuallymakean impact. Thebiggest challenge to theCCID is that the dynamics of people livingon the streets of the CBD are really complexand largely influenced by the length of timetheyhave remainedon the streets,” she says.“Current programmes are not equipped to

dealwith these issues and this ismainlywhyit is felt that a service centre with assess-ment and skills development programmescould possibly be more successful than anassessment centre as they would be threat-ening andwould be of a longer duration.Onecannot just prescribe programmes but needto involve the individuals in determiningtheir own needs if you want to hope for anysuccess.”An assessment centre is the first port of

call for a person living on the street whowould like to be assisted, Little explains.“A street person will be provided with the

necessary rehabilitation and support to fa-cilitate re-integration into their communi-ties. A case history is conducted and is usedto create a development plan for that person.Anymental or physical health issues or sub-stance abuse problems are identified and re-ferred for appropriate treatment. A job read-iness assessment is done, along with poten-tial reunification with their families.”.

A settlement is apparently flourishing oncouncil property – and the City of CapeTown claims to have no knowledge about it.But the growing community of street peo-

ple sleeping on the Gallows Hill Traffic De-partment’s doorstep has residents callingfor stricter security measures.According the Green Point Neighbour-

hoodWatch, locals have seen an increase inthe number of vagrants making a home onthe property.This has prompted residents to call on

council to act on talks of erecting a fencearound the department.Although the property does not fall under

the jurisdiction of the neighbourhoodwatch, chairperson Bradley Braithewaitesays the organisation has received com-plaints from residents and witnessed a hikein numbers.Residents have reported that the street

people have set up a camp in front of themain entrance to the department and loiterin front of the building during the day. Theyhave also been seen hanging up washing ona line strung next to the building.Resident Mikael Garcia says the street

people have become a safety concern. “Thevagrants illegally occupy the steps of thetraffic department, using bins as furnitureand hanging clothes on the windows. Howmany complaints must we send againstthose squatters? They have a dog who is un-leashed and barks at night while we try tosleep and attacks peoplewalking their dogs.I witnessed onemorning onmyway towork

their dog attacking a woman with a babypram! They shout and drink and sometimesfight. What else must we ratepayers endurebefore the authorities react? When will webe able to sleep at night or feel safe to walkon our own pavement?” he asks.Although residents report talk of a fence

being erected around the department thisyear, the City’s executive director for safetyand security Richard Bosman says no finaldecision about the fencing off of the proper-ty has been made. “The City is not awareof any camp thathasbeen set up in thevicin-ity of Gallows Hill and no complaints havebeen lodged in this regard. The City has notreceived any reports that a group of resi-dents is living on its property; operations atthe Gallows Hill traffic department are con-tinuing as per normal,” he says.Eugene Meyer is one of the street people

living at Gallows Hill. He says he has beensleeping at the department for 15 years, ina sheltered corner to the right of the mainentrance. “I don’t feel safe. My partner wasraped here. We want to go to Worcesterwhere shehas family, but she can’t leaveun-til the case has gone to court. I could go tomy mother, but I choose to stay here andtake care of my partner,” he says.Meyer says he feels residents often target

them. “There are people in the buildingsacross the road who complain when wehang up our washing. But we have to stayclean, even ifwe liveon the streets,”he says.The City has, however, undertaken to in-

vestigate the reported increase in streetpeople at the site, says Mayoral Committeemember for Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development Suzette Little.

Stakeholders are standing together tochange the face of Long Street.A business owners’ body is in the process

of being formed to tackle issues suchas safe-ty and the appearance of the party strip.The association, OnLong, got off the

ground as Beer House owner Randolf Jor-berg dreamed of creating an entertainmenthub similar to one in his hometown of Bo-chum, Germany.“Wecall it theBermudaTriangle, because

some people get lost in it and don’t comeout,” he says with a laugh.“It grew organically and the vibe of the

street is the drawcard. The streets areshaped in a triangle, with the main arterypedestrianised, and has bars, restaurantsand even cinemas.”Jorberg observed how an associationwas

formed in Bochum to include all businessowners in the entertainment hub, andwhenhe achieved his boyhood dream of openinga bar, wanted to transfer the idea to LongStreet. “Long Street is a brand, but it wasn’tformed by anyone and it isn’t taken care ofby anyone. OnLongwould bring a structureand be a negotiating body when it comes tochanges and forming partnerships,” hesays.One of the issues the association hopes to

tackle is security, as the street is often asso-ciated with petty crime.Trading ideas between businesses will be

another core function. “We all build up ourown knowledge on everything from suppli-ers to noise problems. For instance, we hadsome of the clubs complaining that theirroofs were vibrating from the noise. It tookonly one business to share their simple andcheap solution to end a problem that had af-fected many people,” he says.Business owners associations are able to

provide feedback from the ground level up,says ward councillor Dave Bryant.“We as local government need to listen to

local businesses and respond to their needs,rather than assumingwe always knowbest.The new association seems committed toworking with us to improve conditions fortrade and safety in Long Street,” he says.There are a number of issues businesses

have requested be tackled in Long Street,Bryant confirms.“Thebusiness owners are very concerned

about perceptions thatLongStreet is unsafeat night and would like to find ways to ad-dress this. Their initiative to help drive theclosure of Long Street for New Year’s Eveshowed that they are committed to makingthis happen and are not content with justsitting on the sidelines complaining. Thisis exactly what we need more of,” he says.Central City Improvement District

(CCID) chief operating officer Tasso Evan-gelinos believes it is vital for businesses toget involved in the overall management ofareas surrounding their businesses.“The associations that we have seen in

the past have formed important partner-ships to liaise with the City. Their successlies in their ability to coordinate, agree andspeak with one voice as a community to thecommon good of the area they represent,andultimately to theCBDaswell. TheCCIDhas always advocated and supported theconcept of viable associations as no city ar-ea can be the responsibility of only one ortwo roleplayers,” he says.But Jorberg believes Long Street has po-

tential to be more than just a safer street.“I’d like to see Long Street become one of

the top destinations in South Africa, muchlike Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Mostpeople dream of going there and you knowwhat to expect. I’d like to see Long Streetbecome a safe party zone at night, and inter-esting shopping destination by day.”

Despite recent donations, a grand-mother whose home was gutted bya blaze is still struggling toget back on her feet.Beatrice Barrett was

making porridge on themorning of Wednesday 18December in her Har-rington Street home, Low-er Gardens.“I smelt burning wires,

but though it was a hobomelting wires outside.Then one of children camerunning to me saying:‘Mamma, there’s smokecoming out fromunder thedoor upstairs’. We openedthe door and the flameswhooshed out,” she says.At the time, Barrett had

14 children staying withher. Some of the childrenare from children’s homesand spend their holidayswith her, others she hastaken care off becausetheir mothers are absentand some are grandchil-dren.Once outside the flam-

inghouse, Barrett realisedone of the children, a sev-en-year-old girl, was miss-ing.She ran into the furnace

to look for her. “I couldn’tsee anything, so I crawledon my hands and kneesfeeling around for her. Iheard coughing but it was

so faint. And then, suddenly, I feltoneofher feet. I grabbedonto it andpulled her out,” she recalls.The fire destroyed the first floor,

gutting the building and reducing

the roof to ashes.“We’re all sleeping inside one

room now, on the floor. I’m 68, butI feel it with the children,” shesays.

“My phone, my teeth, ourclothes.... Everythingburned.”Barrett has always had a

soft spot for children.“My husband used to be a

printer and he would some-times make pictures of chil-dren with their clothes tornand shoes broken. Thosepictures always made mesad.And thenoneday Iwentfor a walk and I saw a groupof children sleeping on thestreet. I brought them homeand fed them, washed themand then spoke to them.Some had run away fromhome, so I took themback totheir parents,” she says.Barrett has been caring

for children without fami-lies ever since.Although Barrett has re-

ceived some donations to-ward the children’s schoolclothes and stationary, as apensioner she doesn’t havethe money to fix the house.“It’s very sad to see the

place like this. But I havefaith that we will find away,” she says.V Assistance or donations can bemade via Captain Ezra October atCape Town Central Police at(021) 467 8189 or 071 604 8318.Beatrice Barrett can be contactedon 073 198 7684.

SHOW OF THE SENSES: Instead of attending an indoor show at this year’s Suidoosterfees,how about experiencing a show like no other? The Bo-Kaap Meander takes place on Saturday1 and Sunday 2 February. This year’s meander takes you on a two-hour culinary journey intothe welcoming home of the Cape Malay to experience their cultural history, daily traditions,cuisine, arts and crafts and family life. The meander allows you to experience culinary colour,taste, smell and texture that is uniquely known as Cape Malay cooking. There are three routesto choose from, ranging in price from R220 to R280. Book at www.computicket.com.

The 107 emergency hotline received27 536 calls in the first two weeks of De-cember and over 30% of themwere prankcalls, authorities confirm.Pranksters are holding up emergency

calls and could potentially rob someonewith a real emergency from receiving as-sistance timeously.So says Mayoral Committee member

for Safety and Security JP Smith.The 107 line is a single emergency

number for use by all people living in andvisiting Cape Town.Call centre agents are trained to con-

nect callers to the nearest relevant emer-gency serviceprovider, suchas theambu-lance, fire, police or traffic service.Statistics show an increase of nearly

8000 calls in December 2012, compared to

the month before and after.Medical emergencies accounted for

23% of the 57 406 calls fielded in Decem-ber 2012 while prank calls accounted for36%. The number of prank calls increas-es during the school holidays, as childrencall from telephones at home and evenpublic telephones knowing that it is a free

call, Smith says. “Prank calls are nothingnew. We also know that prank calls arenot the work of children only, so I’d liketo appeal to families and communities tohelp us by discouraging this kind of be-haviour. Ultimately, it could save a lifeor lives.”The 107 call centre has been operating

for over 10 years and has a staff comple-ment of 66, including seniors and supervi-sors for each shift.

Prank calls cause frustration

Temporary traffic restriction will be imple-mented from Zonnebloem into Walmer Es-tate from Monday 20 January until Friday25 April following reports of rat-racing.Traffic studies conducted in Walmer Es-tate have shown that there has been an ex-cessive volume of motorists travellingthrough the area during the afternoon peakperiod on week days, saysMayoral Commit-tee member for Transport Brett Herron.Approximately 1 500 vehicles enter theWalmer Estate area at the intersection ofKeizersgracht and Chester Road between16:00 and 18:00 during the week.“Of this traffic, 50% has been identified asextraneous, that is motorists who rat-racethrough the residential streets to avoid theafternoon peak traffic on Nelson MandelaBoulevard. The extent of the rat-racing traf-fic is considered excessive by normal stand-ards and for a long time residents ofWalmerEstate have complained about the impact ofthis traffic on their quality of life and the useand enjoyment of their homes and neigh-bourhood,” he says.

In an attempt to bring some relief to theresidents of Walmer Estate, motorists willnot be permitted to move from Keizers-gracht into Chester Road or Hill Street, butwill be allowed to turn left fromSearle Streetinto Chester Road and Hill Street.This restriction will apply during theweekdaypeakperiod from16:00 to 18:00 only,and on a three-month trial basis.Adecision to implement the traffic restric-tion on a permanent basis will bemade afterthe trial period.Public transport and delivery vehicleswill not be affected.“We urge all motorists to familiarisethemselves with the impending restrictionson this route, and to plan their journeys ac-cordingly. The restriction will be made byway of regulatory road traffic signs and willbe enforced byTraffic Services intermittent-ly,” Herron says.Other proposals, such as an access permitsystem for residents or a physical controlmechanism such as a boom, were not suita-ble options, he adds.

Powering up has become easier as councilhas appointed new prepaid electricity serv-ice providers.

Userswill nowbe able to buyprepaid elec-tricity from their cellphones and online, aswell as from their usual vendors.

Anewcellphonevendorhas beenappoint-ed by council, which will allow consumersto now make mobile purchases via SMS af-ter registering on www.itronenergy.co.za.Consumers will still be able to makemobileelectricity purchases via EFT fromwww.prepaid24.co.za.

In addition, consumers can register onwww.mobilepower.co.za, where all creditcards and Standard Bank, Nedbank and Ab-sa debit cards are accepted.

Capetonians can also log ontowww.ibuy.co.za to order electricity via theinternet with their Mastercard or VisaCredit card.

Those who prefer not to use technologycan use a new service provider which willsee scratch cards beingmade available at allpetrol station forecourts.

Point of service outlets will remain as is,with the existing service providers re-ap-pointed.

The new contractswere awarded after theprevious ones expired, explains MayoralCommittee member for Utility Services Er-nest Sonnenberg, and the extra service pro-

vider was appointed to increase efficiency.“Should one provider experience techni-

cal issues, the consumer will have anotheroption. Consumers will continue to be ableto instantly purchase electricity from thecomfort of their own home,” he says.

There is no cost to the customer in theform of credit fees, Sonnenberg continues.

“The only cost the customer carries whenpurchasing via their cellphone is the SMSfee that their cellphone service providercharges,” he says.

User Lesley Marshal has been using cell-phone banking to buy her prepaid electrici-ty and is pleased that more options havebeen made available.

“It’s convenient and fast and I don’t haveto go to the shop. My family has started tak-ing advantage of it and now always ask meto buy electricity for them,” she says.

Charmaine Jacobs says she will gladlyswitch to buying her electricity via her cell-phone. “It would definitely help us becauseit ismuch quicker. Sometimes the shops areoffline and then you have to pay the cost totravel to another shop,” she explains.

“It’s also safer because if you run out ofunits in the evening or at night, you don’thave to walk in the streets, which can bedangerous. I just worry that it will becomecostly to send an SMS if you buy smallamounts often.”

Milano aim to recapture winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United will hope to return to thesummit of the National First Divisionthis weekend but a win may not be

enough.The Grassy Park side dropped points in a

2-2 draw against local rivals FC Cape Townover the weekend and were overtaken byChippa United as a result.

Now Milano will be rooting for FC CapeTown to pull off another upset in their fix-ture against Chippa on Saturday.

Milano were expected to brush past FCCape Town, who were languishing near thebottom of the table at the time.

Things seemed to be going to plan for theBlack and Yellow, who opened the scoringin the third minute. Brandon “Junior”Theron headed home from a well worked at-tack down the left by Ganief Stellenboom.The visitors soon replied through SiphiweGwala, with the striker giving Milano goal-keeper Tashrique Goldman no chance andcalmly tucking the ball into the right corner.

Things got worse for Milano in the 25thminute when top scorer Lesvin Stoffels re-ceived a straight red card for a challenge onJarrod Moroole. Despite being down to 10men, Milano took the lead for a second timewhen Chad Robertson forced the ball overthe line.

The home side’s hopes of a memorable winwere undone when super-sub Mpho Eras-mus headed home late in the game.

Milano United managed to maintain theirunbeaten home record for the season, butdropped down to second place on the table.

FC Cape Town’s Zaphaniah “Zeff” Mboko-ma and Gwala both came close to stealingall three points in the dying minutes of theencounter, but Goldman kept his team aliveto ensure a share of the spoils.

Milano will hope to return to winningways when they face Jomo Cosmos in Johan-nesburg on Saturday.

Academy to polish rough diamondsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town’s rugby talent pool is expect-ed to deepen following the establish-ment of new academy in Tokai.

The Western Province Rugby Academyopened it’s doors last Sunday with the aimof developing rough talents into polishedprofessionals.A group of 48 promising playerswill spend

the next year engaged in the academy’s rig-orous and thorough high-performance pro-gramme.While they will represent the academy in

matches against junior provincial teamsand other similar high-performance cen-tres, managing director Keith Milner saysthe players will also represent local clubs.“We are filtering players back into the sys-

tem, so when they are not playing for theacademy team they will play for clubs,” he

says. “We have already been in touch withthe clubs; we told them it is down to themto pitch to the squad and the academy. Weare not going to force players to play for anyparticular club, but we have stipulated thatwe are only considering Super League Aclubs.”Milner says he expects the inclusion of the

players in local clubs to increase the stand-ard of club rugby.The academy forms part of the Western

Province Rugby Union structures and willwork closely with the Western ProvinceRugby Institute in Stellenbosch.The Institute was founded in 2007 and has

produced several excellent players.Springboks Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi

and Juan de Jongh are all former graduates,as are Stormers Scarra Ntubeni, Frans Mal-herbe, Nizaam Carr, Louis Schreuder andCheslin Kolbe.The academy was founded with hopes of

replicating this success.But while the institute caters for only un-

der-19 playerswho spend just one year in theprogramme before either being profession-ally contracted or released, the academy ac-cepts players between the ages of 18 and 21.“You may get a player who gets injured

while at the institute, sometimes early onhis stint there, and that ruins his under-19year,” Milner says.“That player may have had the potential

to step up to the professional ranks.We needto make sure he can stay in the system andin a high performance programme.”Milner adds the academywill also provide

opportunities to “hidden gems” playing out-side the top levels of school rugby.While the Institute’s 2014 intake included

players almost exclusively from rugbystrongholds like Paarl Gymnasium, PaarlBoys’ High and Boland Agricultural Schoolor southern suburbs powerhouses such as

Wynberg Boys’ High and Rondebosch Boys’High, the Academy has also seen playersfrom Steenberg, Fish Hoek, Camps Bay andSimon’s Town high schools selected.“Wewant to ensure that we (involve) play-

ers who ordinarily would not be on the stagewhere they would get recognised,” he says.“We know there is a hidden gem sitting in

most schools. We have gone out and foundplayers who have the talent, but need to begiven the opportunity. The institute doesn’thave the time to put the feelers out into theschools.”Both the academy and institute players

will follow the same programme and willtrain together at least once a week.Academy members will also receive life

skills training from psychologists and busi-ness experts. Players who are not studyingwill also be enrolled in sports related terti-ary programmes.For further details phone (021) 712 1559.

Adventurer conquers SA’s longest riverLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

A Lakeside resident has achieved a worldfirst by riverboarding the entire length ofSouth Africa’s longest river.Ray Chaplin spent over six months on top

of a plastic riverboard and propelled himselfover 2 400km from the source to the mouthof the Orange River.Chaplin says he took up the arduous and

potentially dangerous adventure to raiseawareness on water pollution.“As an ambassador for the South African

Shark Conservancy, I see what really goeson inouroceansandhowourmarine life suf-fers,” he says.“It all really sunk inwhen I spent an after-

noon in the Dwars River outside Ceres andgot really ill. I just had to take action – andwhat better way than a journey down a riv-

er.”Chaplin started his journey on Sunday 7

April, walking to the source of the river inLesotho from Mweni Village on the KwaZu-lu-Natal border.He completed the hike, which he says was

similar to climbing up Table Mountain, car-rying 45kgs of supplies and equipment.Chaplin was forced to carry a similar

amount of supplies at several other parts ofthe long journey when in between towns.The Orange River trip wasn’t Chaplin’s

first adventure. In 2007 he cycled unsupport-ed from Cape Town to Pretoria through theEastern Cape. Chaplin completed the jour-ney in 42 days, pulling a trailer full of equip-ment and supplies all the way.In 2010, he walked from Cape Point to the

Zimbabwe border in three months and thencycled back on a single-gear bike.He rates the Orange River adventure as

the toughest task he has ever tackled.The full-time adventurer had to contend

with freezing temperatures, dangerouswild-life and a debilitating injury.Around 1000kms into the journey, a series

of falls on the rocky river bank saw Chaplinbreak two ribs and fracture two vertebrae.“I had an emergency beacon that I

could’ve activated to be rescued, but Iwasn’ttoo far from the next town so I pushed on,”he says.“It took me a day and a half to get to the

next town. It would have taken four hoursgoing at normal speed. It was the most pain-ful thing I have ever had to do. You just re-

vert straight back to survival mode. It’s thepure animal instinct of just having to getthrough something. It wasn’t life-threaten-ing and that’s why I didn’t activate the bea-con and request help. I could still move, butI was just in agony.”The injury left him out of action for nine

weeks, as he healed and then completed re-habilitation.He says getting back on the board was al-

most as difficult as the 36 hours betweenbreaking his back and receiving treatment.Chaplin eventually arrived at the Orange

Rivermouth in Alexander Bay in the North-ern Cape on Thursday 10 December.“I was crying for the last two kilometres

of the river. It was just pure joy and emo-tion,” he says.“It’s been a month since I finished and it’s

still sinking in. I’m still trying to figure itall out.”
