With a new coastal zone setback line pro-posed by council, potential Atlantic Sea-board property owners will find themselvesbuilding further away from the sea.A setback line is a spatial planning tool
which prevents developments in unsuitableareas. It determines which areas are inap-propriate for coastal developments due tocoastal conditions such as erosion, stormsurges, migrating estuary mouths and mi-grating dune systems.These are vital to addressing the effects of
climate change, says Mayoral Committeemember for Economic, Environmental andSpatial Planning Garreth Bloor.“Given the expected impact of climate
change, sea-level rise and increased stormi-ness, the role of setbacks is becoming in-creasingly important as a pro-active cityplanning mechanism to protect both publicand private infrastructure from these haz-ards,” he says.The setback lines will benefit residents,
Bloor explains.Properties will be protected from damag-
ing coastal conditions, which will ensurebuildings last longer and property valuesare maintained.“There are examples along South Africa’s
coast where, due to the inappropriate loca-tion of property along the coast, this proper-ty has become exposed to coastal processes,in particular coastal erosion, and as a conse-quence has depreciated in value. The Citywishes to avoid this through the develop-ment of a setback,” he says.In addition, the setback lines will provide
a boundary for developers, allowing them tobuild within a range from the coast to pre-vent degradation of buildings due to coastalconditions.The setback line does not affect existing
properties with developmental rights, Bloorsays. “In certain places along the SouthAfri-can coastline, the coastline has been fixedthrough inappropriate development and asa consequence of coastal erosion, thesebeaches and the associated recreational andamenity value of these beaches are lost tosea-wall mechanisms. Through the estab-lishment of a set-back, the recreational andamenity value of the beach as a valuablepublic space will be retained in perpetuity,
directly benefiting the broader communi-ty,” he says.A recent report by the South African Na-
tional Biodiversity Institute, entitled Life:State of South Africa’s Biodiversity Report,found that a fifth of the South African coastis under development within 100m of theshoreline.And Cape Town is not far off this mark,
says Cheryl Walters, council’s director ofPlanning and Building Development Man-agement.Areas such as Clifton and Bakoven on the
Atlantic Seaboard have the highest numberof developments within 100m of the shore-line due to the nature of the developmentswhich are often apartments of high density,Walters estimates.
Developments this close to shore has dev-astating effects on the ecosystem.The report states: “Without the buffering
effects of dunes, mangroves and marshes,people and property close to the coast are di-rectly at risk. The more coastal ecosystemsare built up and paved over, the less they areable to help us cope with the sometimes un-predictable nature of the sea, like strongstormswhich candamage coastal property.”Walters says Cape Town is vulnerable to
large coastal storms and when they happenthere is always some damage to both publicand private property.However, some have doubts about the im-
plementation of the proposed setback line.“Certainly we welcome the sensible delin-
eation of the coastal zone setback line since
even if we were, right now, to arrest climatechange, the oceans will continue to warmand expand formore than 100 years. This ex-pansion will have a profound effect on theAtlantic Seaboard,” says Janey Ball, projectmanager for the advocacygroupSeafront forAll. “However, having just emerged success-ful from a protracted and expensive warwith the City fighting developments on theSea Point Promenade, we are well awarethat the political will to hold officials to ac-count is a major component in the enforce-ment of Spatial Planning andLandUseMan-agement decisions. All the policies and rulesin theworld come tonaught if politicians failto ensure that officials uphold the environ-mental and spatial planning rights of CapeTown’s citizens,” she says.

Driving schools need to be regulated inSouth Africa, says Nazeem Kisten, actinggeneral secretary of the South African Driv-ing School Operators Association (Sadsoa).
This comes after the association, whichhas been in operation for five years, foundthat very few measures are in place to en-sure that driving instructors deliver ade-quate service to learner drivers.
“Driving instructors only need to pass theinstructors’ test before they can teach some-one how to drive,” Kisten says.
“This is not enough, because many in-structors learn through trial and error anddon’t undergo advanced driving courses.Testing centres are often corrupt and awardcertificates to people who have failed thetest.”
Sadsoa sent a draft bill ofpossible regulatory clauses,which they believe shouldassist in governing the in-dustry, to the nationaltransport department.
Kisten says the bill statesthat instructors need fiveyears’ driving experienceand two years’ work experi-ence as an instructor withan accredited drivingschool.
He adds instructors alsoneed to be “approved by theprovincial transport minis-ter and should also attend acollege which offers a rigor-ous driving school pro-gramme”.
Thebill also looksatwaysand means to regulate andaccredit the driving schoolindustry. All drivingschools in South Africa areunregulated as there’s no regulatory body.More than 95% have not been accredited bythe Transport Education Training Authori-ty (Teta).
This accreditation allows for drivingschools to apply for government and busi-ness tenders where they’ll be able to teachlearner drivers.
Kisten says tough economic times are of-ten the cause for people becoming drivinginstructors – they may have lost their jobsand have a car and some patience to teachlearner drivers. “But pop-up drivingschools, which are often called pirates, alsoneed to be accredited by Teta. Accreditationusually costs between R25 000 and R30 000,which only the large, more established driv-ing schools can afford,” he says.
“The only way more driving schools willbe accredited is if government reduces thelarge costs attached to accreditation andTeta approval. Large driving schools haveno issues with accrediting their businesses,because they have means to do so.”
Kisten says acquiring a driver’s licensewill become more difficult over time due tothe computerised learner’s test implement-ed at some testing centres.
This new testing means will requirelearner’s license candidates to sit in a simu-lator to test their possible driving skills, aswell as 16 hours of preparation.
He hopes to see testing yards regulated toensure they meet the standards set by thebill. “Driving schools should join the associ-ation so they can be prepared for the possi-ble regulations, because by the time the gov-ernment passes the legislation no one willbe able to have an unaccredited drivingschool,” Kisten says. “Cars used for teach-ing will need to be a certain type with anoperating number and all driving schoolswill need to be registered companies withan office and a landline.”
He further adds the regulatory bodyhopes to apply these stringent rules, owingto past cases where learners paid for lessonsup front and fraudulent instructors,whoop-erated from cars and with a cellphone, dis-appeared with their money.
A learner driver, who spoke on conditionof anonymity, says he had been requestedto pay in advance for lessons at Aubrey’sDriving Academy, which had come highlyrecommended.
“The instructor asked for the money upfront. I did not feel comfortable handingover more than R1 000 to someone I did notknow, and instead switched to a schoolwhere I (was required to) pay per lesson,”he says.
Academy owner Aubrey Richter has beena driving instructor for 15 years.
He, too, wants to see the industry regulat-

ed. “An ombuds-man is needed fordriving schoolswhere people canlodge complaintsabout schools, be-cause the industrylacks accountabili-ty,” he says.
He says his busi-ness asks for pay-ment prior to les-sons as people whopay per lesson arevery inconsistentand lack commit-ment.
“It’s difficult tosatisfy clients allthe time. If peopledon’t like what theysee, they should goto another estab-lished drivingschool and avoidthe fly-by-nightones,” he says.
Provincial trans-port departmentspokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar saysthere is no legisla-tion to regulatedriving schools.
He says the de-partment is in theprocess of finding asystem to registerdriving schools andcompile a database.V Share your views.Starting with the word“Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

The once magical home of Madame Zingarais due to be restored to its former glory afteryears of offering nothing but shelter for va-grants.
The building, on the corner of Loop andBuiten Street, was razed by a fire in Septem-ber 2006, whichwas caused by a burning cig-arette.
The purple building, which is also a herit-age site, has been empty ever since, withMadame Zingara selling the property earlyin 2007.
The converted 19th-century townhouseshave been boarded since the fire, and havereportedly beenused as a toilet andhome forstreet people.
The vacant plot has been a headache tobusinesses and residents in the area.
Lana Fredericks, who works close to thebuilding, says the building is an eyesore.“Vagrants sleep on the stoep in BuitenStreet. The City Improvement District oftenmoves them along. The building has beenlike this for several years. It looks very di-lapidated.”
Another local, who asked not to be named,says business owners often have to askstreet people sleeping on their doorstep tomove before they can open shop.
Richard Bosman, the City of Cape Town’sexecutive director for Safety and Security,says no complaints have been receivedabout the building.
“The building cannot be classified as aproblem building until it has been investi-gated by the City’s Problem Building Unit.A site inspection was done and the buildingwas found to be completely sealed with noaccess, and with overgrown vegetationaround the building which needs to be cut,”he says.
This property has compliedwith the Prob-
lem Building Bylaw andwill not be declareda problem building at this stage,” he says.
However, there are great plans for thebuilding, says managing director of Mad-ame Zingara Richard Griffin.
Madame Zingara has recently taken overthe lease of the building, and is planning torestore it to its former grandeur.
“We are busy working with the City ofCape Town to create a multi-faceted themedentertainment and dining experience. Thisproperty has both an emotional and tremen-
dous historical value to the people of CapeTown and ourselves,” he says.
“We are striving to ensure it remains inte-grally preserved and restored to somethingwe can all be proud of once again.”
A teamcomprising local and internationaldesigners have been working over the pasttwo years to design and conceptualise aunique experience, Griffin enthuses.
“Our opening theme-scape is the story ofShake your HoneyMumbai, which encapsu-lates the vibrant spirit of India. The building
will be structured so that themes can con-stantly change. We have just received ap-proval from the heritage council and nowawait building plan approval which willhopefully mean we can begin constructionin early 2014,” he says.
Using the building will put an end to secu-rity issues, saysMadameZingaramarketingmanager Nicky-Anne de Beer.
“We only leased the property recently andbeing aware of the issues we have put pre-ventative measures in place,” she says.

The City of Cape Town is working to polishthe city’s image as a place to establish busi-nesses, but income fromtourism is still a fac-tor.Last Friday Mayor Patricia de Lille cele-
brated World Tourism Day at the V&A Wa-terfront and launched a massive structurewhich frames the perfect picture of TableMountain. The yellowmetal framemountedin front ofDenAnkerRestaurant in theV&AWaterfront is 2.8m high and 4m wide.It was made by the artist Porky Hefer and
forms a frame in which one can sit, stand oreven lie downwith TableMountain forming
a natural background.At the launch De Lille could not wait to
pose and kept her balance while standing inthe frame. “Even though we have it all herein Cape Town, we cannot rest on our laurels.The competition drawing away potentialtourists is still there, across the world,” shesaid.In last week’s council meeting she high-
lighted the importance of tourism in CapeTown, even though the City markets theMother City abroad as a place where busi-ness can be conducted.Last week De Lille did a presentation on
investment opportunities in Cape Town toUScompanies inAmerica. “A formerUSam-
bassador to South Africa, DonaldGips, said Cape Town is almost toogood tobe true and that it is difficultto convince people that anyone canwork here,” she said.De Lille said it was just the name
Cape Town which counts and isused to market the city as a havenfor investment and tourism inter-nationally.She used the V&A Waterfront as
an example of a successful businessunit, which in 2012 contributed a to-tal of R28.91bn to the South Africaneconomy.“Tourism creates income (9% of
the world’s gross income) and em-ployment opportunities – one out ofevery 12 jobs,” De Lille said.

Anew formof rodent control will be takingoff at the Green Point Urban Park.Six barn owls will be introduced to the
public open space to keep pests under con-trol.The three pairs of owls will be intro-
duced as an environmentally friendly andcost-effective method of rodent control,saysMayoralCommitteemember forTour-ism, Events and Marketing Grant Pascoe.“The type of owls that will be introduced
wouldbedependent onavailability, but thecompany we are using is proposing the in-troductionof threepairs of barnowls in thepark,” he says.“It is important to introduce various
components of the ecosystem to an area –the introduction of a raptor will assist inbringing a balance to the system.”The barn owls were chosen as they are
most comfortable in urban areas, Pascoeexplains.“They are best suited to the site condi-
tions. Barn owls are superb hunters. Theyare well adapted to eating rats and cohabi-tating with humans to keep rodent pestsunder control. Barn owls also regulatetheir own breeding thereby they can keeptread with the rat population each year,”he says.While barn owls are best suited to urban
areas, they are difficult to keep in a con-fined area, says Brendon Murray of theOwl Rescue 911 Centre.“Youneed to put ahutwith shadenetting
whichallowsa 360degreeviewandhas sev-eral boxes, or they will just fly away. Theyneed to stay in here for at least 21 days. Of-ten territorial birds in the area chase themaway,” he says.Barn owls are happy tomake themselves
at home inwarehouses and roofs, and evenin palm trees, Murray explains.Pascoe says the owls will be housed in
five boxes dispersed throughout the park.The project will cost R13 000 in total.The owls, which are all rescue cases, will
be cared for by a specialist contractor.“Many of the owls come from damaged
nests and have been rescued,” Pascoe says.“They have been brought to sanctuariesand subsequently released to be used in aprogramme such as this one.”Murray adds that young birds need spe-
cial attention, and that installing them atthe park will require that they are con-stantly monitored.Signage and surveillance will be used to
do this, Pascoe confirms.“As birds are vulnerable when they are
young, we will need to monitor their well-being closely. This will be dealt with by us-ing signage and surveillance. The intro-duction period is 12 months, thereafter wehope to have a permanent population ofresident owls in the park,” he says.Guarding the stadiumThe Cape Town Stadium will be using a
falcon to assist with a similar programme,over the next six months. A Peregrine Fal-con, called Scarlet, will deter pigeons onfrom eating grain used on the pitch.Approximately 120 kg of perennial rye
seed, an all-year grass cultivar, is plantedmonthly on the stadium pitch to repair thedamage caused by sporting events and con-certs. Pigeons cause the most destructionduring the 10 days before the seeds start togerminate. They consume up to 70% of theplanted seed.The aim is not to kill but to deter and
change the behaviour of pigeons. Unlikeother bird-deterrent devices, the pigeonsnever get used to the presence of a live birdof prey.The Peregrine Falcon flies to a lure – a
piece of leather with some wings and a bitof food attached to it – which is swung by
the falconer who is positioned in the middleof the pitch. The falconer swings the lure toimitate a bird in flight. It is the falconer’s jobnot to let the falcon catch the lure and to keepit flying around the stadium.

Tourney givesplayers a lifelineLIAM MOSES
A glut of Western Province players havebeen named in the SouthAfrican RugbyLegends Association Iqhawe Week All
Star Team.The All Star Team will not play any match-
es but head of development for SARugby Leg-ends, Pieter Muller says the selection couldraise players’ profile and lead to them beingselected for elite squads at their unions.“The All Star Team couldn’t be a formal na-
tional side, as all 16 unions were not compet-ing. But we wanted to give recognition to theplayers who played well at the tournament,”Muller says.“It’s important for unions to understand
that they should be looking at the players wepicked for their elite squad system, as thesekids are 15-years-old and are eligible for theGrant Khomo Week.“All we can do is contact the unions to in-
form them of the selections. It’s up to the un-ions to (take it further); we will do what wecan to get the kids in.”The Iqhawe Week was hosted at City Park
in Athlone last week and eight coastal prov-inces competed in the under-15 tournament.The teams were WP, Boland, Griquas, Kwa-Zulu-Natal, South Western Districts, GoldenLions, Border and Eastern Province.All players selected for the provinces came
from developing rugby schools; the vast ma-jority came from schoolswhich participate inthe Vuka League – another initiative of SARugby Legends.Muller says the aimof theVukaLeague and
the IqhaweWeek is to create ameans to devel-
op players and offer them a “pathway” to theelite set-up at their unions.“We want to give these kids another oppor-
tunity to be seen. We are not looking at thetop schools; we are looking at the ruralschools and the dormant schools. Nobodylooks at those schools. We want to give themthe opportunity,” he says.“Our Vuka programme in the Western
Cape has over 80 schools. That’s where theWP team was selected from – from schoolsthatneverplayed rugby; schools inLangaandAtlantis. That’s what we want to create allaround the country.”Players in theWP team came from 16 differ-
ent schools across the Peninsula, includingMountview High in Hanover Park, SpineRoad, Portlands and Lentegeur high schoolsin Mitchell’s Plain and Darul Islam in Green-haven.Province eventually won the tournament
after defeating South Western Districts 14-6in final.The IqhaweWeek will be hosted in a differ-
ent province next year and all 16 provincesare set to participate. Muller adds that thetournament will have “the same credibilityas the Grant Khomo and Craven Weeks”.V The full Iqhawe Week All Star team are: DillonKaalmeyer, Laaiq Felton, Toufeeq Hendricks, Ziyaad Adams, Bradley de Jongh (Western Province), Gerlin Richards, Geraldo Charles (Boland), Wilfred Saunderson,Junior Bouwers, Bennie Louw (Griquas), Gcina Mngombezulu, Wayne Ngubane (KwaZulu Natal), Shaun Adams, Damion Karelse, Bradwin Johnson, YulbremmerKeffers, Justin Jansen (SWD), Craig Mkhize, ArchippeBomborro (Lions), Gwarube Luyolo, Ngalo Sive (Border)and Richmond Gora (Eastern Province).
Peddling for a greater causeHaving cycled nearly 2 000km in 20days, a group of 13 riders arrived inCape Town on Saturday morning.The group set off from Johannesburg
onSunday8September, inhopes of rais-ing awareness for the Pedal Power As-sociation’s (PPA) Cyclists Stay Alive at1.5m safe cycling campaign.Over 200 cyclists met up with the
group in Milnerton and continued tothe CBD, where a signed petition washanded over to the national Depart-ment of Transport. The petition calledfor the legalisation of the 1.5m passingdistance rule betweenmotorists and cy-clists.Deputy minister of transport Sindisi-
we Chikunga received the signed peti-tion, which contained more than 3 000signatures gathered throughout thetour.“It is time to work even harder at pro-
tecting both our runners and cyclistswho use our road networks to train,”she said.“The proposal of the 1.5m road space
is receiving consideration from boththe Roads Regulations and Infrastruc-ture Planning units of the department.One life lost is one too many. Togetherwe can save more lives.”During the tour the cyclists pedalled
through Potchefstroom, Bloemfontein,Graaff-Reinet, Oudtshoorn, Ladismith
andMalmesbury, garnering signaturesfor the petition and promoting greatertolerance between motorists and cy-clists on the country’s roads.During each of the three stages of the
tour, a “ghost bike” – a bicycle paintedwhite – was erected in memory of cy-clists who tragically lost their lives onsome of South Africa’s roads.Ghost bikes were erected at the Lion
and Rhino Park in Gauteng, on Jagers-fontein Road in Bloemfontein, andalong the Oudtshoorn route wherethree cyclists were tragically killedwhen they collided with a car a fewyears ago.The erecting of the ghost bikes signi-
fied PPA’s underlying message: If a ve-hicle is 1.5m away from a cyclist, thatvehicle cannot hit the cyclist.PPA chairperson Stephen Hayward
says the tour has already had a positiveimpact. “By launching theRide for yourLife South Africa tour, our aim was toreinforce safety and tolerance betweendrivers and cyclists,” he says.“We are extremely pleased with the
impact the tour has had on motorists,who have shown us great acceptanceand support. The encouragement we re-ceived from the deputy minister oftransport’s office has been exceptionaland they have shown a great amount ofkeenness to assist wherever possible.”

Far South surfers clean upA Kommetjie resident and mother of
two has become a world championsurfer.
Simone Robb was crowned the 2013 ISAWomen’s World Longboard Surfing Cham-pion in Huanchaco, Peru on Saturday 28September.
Robb, a multiple SA surfing champion,went undefeated throughout the event andposted the highest scores in the women’s di-vision. It was Robb’s opening ride in the fi-nal, which earned the heat’s highest scoreof 8.17 out of 10, that ultimately won her thegold medal.
“I started up with a bang. I got the firstwave of the heat, which was an 8, and I wasreally lucky to get that one,” Robb says.
“It’s really cool to be the first female ISAWorld Longboard Champion. I’m reallyhappy. My kids will wear my medal whenI get back home.
“This event was amazing and the otherwomen were so nice to compete against;they were all really friendly.”
Robb’s victory, combined with a fourth-place finish by Thomas King, a ninth-placefinish by Justin Bing in the men’s divisionand a fourth-place by Kalk Bay’s EthanPentz in the junior division were sufficientto earn Team SA the silver medal.
King, attending his first ISA WorldChampionship event, also surfed flawlesslythrough the five rounds of the men’s divi-sion, advancing directly into the grand fi-nal without dropping into the reperchargerounds.
He started the final with an outstanding
9.0 score on the first wave, but struggled tofind a decent backup score and was eventu-ally overhauled.
Pentz, the 2013 SA Junior Longboardchampion, advanced to round three of thejunior division where he slipped to thirdplace before winning the repercharge finalto gain entry into the grand final.
The teenager could not find a wave withscoring potential in the final, despite re-cording 10 rides – five more than his oppo-nents.
But he will be elated with a medal in hisfirst international event.
Noordhoek resident Bing, a former SAchampion and national team member inboth longboard surfing and stand-up pad-dling, slipped into the repercharge roundson day one.
Despite progressing through five cut-throat rounds, he was ultimately eliminat-ed in round six.
The four-person South African teamwhich competed in the inaugural ISAWorld Longboard Championships wasmanaged by Noordhoek’s Deon Bing.
