Two ward councillors and theCity of Cape Town’s Depart-
ment of SocialDevelopment are en-gaged in a cold war, not seeing eyeto eye on the plan to solve the va-grancy issue.Fieldworkers in the city and At-
lantic Seaboard assist street peoplein times of crisis and act as liaisonbetween different services. Howev-er, these displaced people maysoon find themselves without thissupport as fieldworkers’ contractsexpire this month. Their positionsare to be put out to tender.Two fieldworkers from two city
wards are at risk of losing theirjobs, contrary to what the Depart-ment of Social Development prom-ised, says ward councillors Bever-ley Schafer and Dave Bryant.They say they sourced funding
from theirward budgets to hire thefieldworkers, and believed thefunding would cover a year of em-
ployment. They also understoodthere would be the option for thesocial worker to continue thereaf-ter, but Social Development saysthat was never the agreement.Schafer and Bryant each made
around R130 000 available fromtheir ward budgets to pay for twofieldworkers in each ward.Schafer says she was under the
impression that the fieldworkers,who began in November, would bemade available for an entire year.However, she says they have
now been informed that the field-workers’ contracts will end thismonth.Suzette Little, the Mayoral Com-
mittee member for Social Develop-ment and Early Childhood Devel-opment, says the fieldworkersform an integral part of the City’sStreet People Programme.The budget allocated per field
worker in Green Point and Oranje-Kloof through ward allocationfunding was R65 000 for nine
months. This amount includestraining, resources and salaries.“The Social Development and
Early Childhood Development Di-rectorate is in the process of re-viewing the manner in which thefieldworkers have been employed.This is to ensure continuation ofservices and to avoid any gaps thatmay be experienced through thecompletion of the contract periodby the fieldworkers employedthrough the different mecha-nisms,” Little says.Currently the employment or
the continuation of the employ-ment of the fieldworkers is depend-ent on tenders, she adds.Bryant says fieldworkers were
requested by residents in the sub-urbs around the CBD as means toassist street people.Bryant sayshewasunder the im-
pression that the fieldworkerswould be offered the option to re-new their contract.“It now seems that the whole
process has been put out to tenderand our current field workersmight lose their jobs. It’s a realshame. The success of this projectrests on continuity,” he says.Improvement districts in the
City and on the Atlantic Seaboardsay fieldworkers are vital to effec-tively manage the vagrancy issue.“Fieldworkers are essential.
They are the first port of call for thehomeless and can often implementearly intervention measures,”says Pat Eddy, social developmentmanager for the Cape Town Cen-tral City Improvement District(CCID). The CCID employs threefieldworkers in addition to the twoprovided by the ward councillor.The CCID’s fieldworkers deal
with “numerous cases” on a dailybasis, Eddy says.“They engage with the homeless
andensure theygetmedical careorrefer them to an NGO that canhelp.”Marc Truss, CEO of the Green
Point and Oranje-Kloof City Im-provement Districts, says they de-pend on the fieldworkers providedby the ward councillor.“Affluent and high traffic areas
are bound to attract homeless peo-ple. Social workers who have beenworking on the ground daily havebeen a very valuable asset andplayed an integral part in findinglong-term solutions. It will be avery sad loss if the social workerscannot continue the good workthey have been doing so far.”Truss says the fieldworkers of-
ten help street people with basicservices such as obtaining identitydocuments, driver’s licences, med-ical assistance and employment.Money has been allocated in the2013/2014 financial year to retainthe fieldworkers, Bryant says.“We’re quite disappointed. But
we hope to find a way to retain ourcurrent fieldworkers and we willdefinitely continue with the pro-gramme.”

A family has steeled itself for a renewedclash with the City of Cape Town about
heritage.The council-owned property in question is
22 Pentz Street and has been home to five gen-erations of this Bo-Kaap family.They wish to buy the house which has over
70 years of memories, but say their efforts arebeing thwarted as the house has been de-clared a heritage site.Hassiem Marcus, speaking on behalf of the
Petersen-Williams family living there, sayshis great-grandmother moved into the housein 1940 and a multitude of relatives have
shared meals at the dining room table.The house is central to his childhood and
Marcus wants nothing more than to keepit in the family. But he says the struggleto buy the house has left him despondent.“All the other houses in the area have
been sold to other tenants, butwe can’t buythis house because it is a heritage site.”The house was offered to the former ten-
ant for sale in 1995, says Tandeka Gqada,the Mayoral Committee member for Hu-man Settlements.“All of the heritage dwellings were of-
fered to the sitting tenantsmanyyears ago,beforeHeritageWesternCapewas consult-ed and before Table Mountain become aWorld Heritage site,” she says.At the time, the family did not have the
means to buy the house Marcus has re-quested to buy the house for the last fiveyears, but says he keeps getting differentand perplexing answers from the City.“First they tell me I can buy it, and then
they tell me I can’t buy it. It changes everytime. It appears that now that the house isa heritage site, it is no longer up for sale,”he laments.In a People’s Post query about why the
house is no longer for sale, Gqada respond-ed: “The entire erf on which this dwellingis situated – which is over a hectare in size– is a declared Provincial Heritage Site andincludes anumberofCity buildings andas-sets.”The City still has 22 heritage dwellings
and 45 rental stock units.According to a former employee of the
SouthAfricanHeritageResourcesAgency,there should be no reason why a heritagebuidling cannot be sold. The only limita-tions are that the house must be restored
and cannot be demolished. Western CapeHeritage failed to respond to People’s Postquery on time.Marcus claims further aggravation by the
City, stating that as owner of the house, theyfailed to maintain the building. “If weowned the house, I could maintain it for mymother who lives here. The stoep is crum-bling and it’s not safe for an elderly person.”Gqada says maintenance is done on re-
quest with all rental stock, and the housewas overhauled in 1995, costing R110 000.OsmanShaboodien, chairpersonof theBo-
Kaap Civic Association, says the house wasin a despairing state at the time of the reno-vation, andaclausewaswritten into the con-tract to ensure the family could continue torent. He is not aware of any other heritagehouses in the area that have not been put upfor sale.

Art has the power to change spaces andpeople.
Ward 54 councillor Beverley Schafer is inan all-out drive to render her constituencyas a nexus for the benefits of public artisticexpression.
There will be lots more to meet the eyethan just pretty views on the Atlantic Sea-board.
Schafer is calling for public art submis-sions as she launches the Art54 project onThursday 1 August.
The project will see public art placedthroughout the ward and Schafer wants art-ists to submit proposals for artwork to beconsidered for inclusion in a temporary out-door exhibit, running from the end of theyear to mid-2014.
Artworks in any medium may be submit-ted, as long as they are suitable for outdoorexhibition.
“The selection panel that will choose theartwork is open to considering work in anymedia. This would include, but not be limit-ed to, sculpture, mural, land art, photogra-phy, digital technologies, performance-based pieces, busking or mixed-mediawork,” Schafer says.
“Work which promotes new and innova-tive ways of thinking about art in publicspaces will be considered favourably.”
The art does not necessary have to be dis-played for the full six months, as artists areencouraged to incorporate the natural beau-
ty of the area into their designs.A steering committee has been set up to
ensure that the most creative projects arechosen.
“Public art is valued in this ward,”Schafer says.
“It creates the chance to change space andpeople. It builds relationships between thetwo. The Art54 project contributes to urbanregeneration by stimulating interaction be-tween artists, designers, city planners, busi-ness owners, residents and developers. Itmoves the experience of art out of museumsand galleries and into public space. I amvery excited to be initiating such a projectin the ward.”
Artist CP Wessels has lauded the project.“The idea is fabulous. A similar idea has
been tried with great success in Stellen-bosch, with revolving artworks. It keepspeople interested.”
Wessels says he is “certainly interested”in proposing a piece, after he and TheresaJo of Artvark Gallery completed permanentpieces for the Green Point Track.
City resident Sarah Matthews says shewould make a special trip to view the art-works once installed.
“I think public art is a fantastic idea. Itmoves it away from formal galleries. I’m anabsolute art lover and would definitely gosee the art on display.”
If the pilot project is successful, Schaferhopes the idea of having temporary artworkin public spaces is implemented across thecity on a regular basis.

Traders at the Green Point flea markethave been crossing their fingers for a
new trading site, but with the closure of thenearby public toilets, they have been leftcrossing their legs, too.The traders have been operating from the
parking lot in front of the bowling greens onHelen SuzmanBoulevard since 2010 inwhatthey understood to be a temporary move,says Rasheeda Petersen, chairperson of theGreen Point Flea Market Traders Associa-tion.But almost three years later, they are fed
up with waiting.The closure of the toilets has only added
to their frustrations.The ablution facilities were boarded up to
prevent homeless people using the premisesas shelter.These steps came after numerous cases of
harassment at the neighbouring bridgeclub. The toilets are due to be demolishedwhen the extra bowling greens are convert-ed into small soccer fields.The traders were moved to the site before
the Soccer World Cup by the City of CapeTown.Acting Mayoral Committee member for
Economic, Environmental andSpatial Plan-ning Grant Pascoe says: “The City, prior to2010, went through an extensive public par-ticipation process, internal and external totheCity, aswell aswith the informal tradersand the affected local community, to find analternative space for the Green Point Stadi-umMarket. TheGreenPointBowlingGreenwas identified as the most beneficial spacefor themarket to operate on a temporary ba-
sis until relocated to the Cape Town Stadi-um Forecourt.”However, Petersen says the site is not
their first pick.“It was the best site at the time, but it is
not conducive to trading. There are no toiletfacilities and the site is on a main road.”Petersen says toilets were previously pro-
vided and public toilets at the Bowling Clubwere made available to the traders.The agreement, says Pascoe, was that the
City would provide exactly the same levelof service that it provided at the formerGreen Point StadiumMarket, and that it re-mains the responsibility of the informaltraders to provide services such as toilet fa-cilities, cleansing and security.This puts the lack of toilet facilities at the
traders’ door now that the public toilet hasbeen closed.“The best solution for us is to move back
to the site at the stadium,” explains Pe-tersen.Pascoe says the wait has been due to the
City taking extensive measures to find thebest uses for the common.“The City has been looking at optimising
the use of theGreen Point Common, and hasalso undertaken investigations into thelong-term management and possible com-mercial operations at the Cape Town Stadi-um. The operation of an informal tradermarket has been looked at as part of theseprocesses,” he says.But the traders will have to wait for the
City to finalise their paperwork before anymove can take place.“Necessary internal mandating and ap-
provals are currently being obtained. Oncethis has been concluded, the process to es-tablish a market at the Cape Town Stadiumwill commence,” says Pascoe.However, Petersen lives in hope.“We’ve been told the process is almost
completed, so it will only be a matter ofweeks before we move.”

Ready for battleLIAM MOSES
Two of Fish HoekSquash Club’s (FHSC)top players will aim to
continue their winningstreak in the South AfricanChampionships next week.
Steve Coppinger and Rod-ney Durbach have been onform and had a measure ofsuccess at local, nationaland international level overthe last two months.
The pair were also part ofthe SA team that finishedsixth – a place ahead of theirseeding – at the Men’s WorldTeam Championships in France in June.
Coppinger took part in the Champion-ships for the fourth time and says the resultis one of SA’s best achievements in the in-ternational arena.
“We had a very successful week and hadsome great wins. This year some of the winswere expected, which means the pressurewas on us to get the result,” he says.
“We had a great tournament four yearsago, where we seeded 11th and also finishedsixth.
“That was very different because every-thing was exciting and new, and we werethe underdogs in every match. This yearwas different but the whole team playedwell in each match.”
Coppinger will go into the SA Champion-ships ranked number one in the countryand 16th on the world squash tour.
The Simon’s Town resident representsKwaZulu Natal in provincial competitionsand recently lost out to Durbach’s WesternProvince in the final of the Jarvis Cup inter-provincial tournament in Port Elizabeththis month.
Durbach, the club professional, says his
recent successes give him adefinite edge going into theSA Championships.
“It gives you a huge boostpsychologically. You are ona winning streak, so youjust want to continue,” hesays.
“Our Fish Hoek leagueside is also winning theFirst League. It’s had a realmomentum effect on every-thing that we are doing, in-dividually and as a club.”
Durbach, from Muizen-berg, is one of the most sea-soned players in SA, with 18years and a record number
of caps under his belt. He participated inthe World Team Championships for theeighth time this year and is currentlyranked fourth in SA.
The SA Championships will be Cop-pinger’s last major tournament in South Af-rica before heading back oversees for thestart of the world squash tour in September.
He recently had the biggest success of hisprofessional career when he made it to thequarter-finals of the Tournament of Cham-pions in New York in January.
The 28-year-old says he hopes to win theSA Championships for the sixth time andcarry the momentum into the internationalseason.
“The next few years will be crucial forme. I just want to keep on improving. I’vehad a very steady rate of improvement overthe last four years or so. If I can keep thatup, I will be very happy,” says Coppinger.
“I’m looking to finish strong and it willset me up nicely for the start of the profes-sional season.”
The SA Championships will take place inJohannesburg from Monday 5 to Saturday10 August.

Masters swinging in PinelandsLIAM MOSES
The organisers of the 2013 South AfricanMaster’s Softball Championship have prom-ised good softball and a fun atmospherewhen the tournament takes place.Falcons Masters Softball Club will host
the tournament this year, with the Old Mu-tual SportsComplex andneighbouringOudeMolen High School in Pinelands as the ven-ues. Maureen Jangle, former president ofWestern Province Softball and chairpersonof the local organising committee, says theChampionship will feature teams fromacross SA.“Although this is serious, it’s also fun.You
can enter as a club or as a province. We (willbe hosting) provincial and club teams fromBorder, KwaZulu Natal and all over,” shesays.“Falcons have participated in the tourna-
ment for the last five years and they havewonandbeenunbeaten in the last three. Thetournament is allocated to a different prov-ince each year and they offered it Falconsthis year.”The master’s division is for any player
over the age of 35 and the tournament havemen’s and women’s competitions.Apart from Falcons, the other Cape Town
clubs who have entered teams this year areGlenthorne Athletics, Pirates, Old MutualCubs and Hamiltons.Jangle says Falcons decided to host the
tournament in Pinelands because TurfhallSports Complex, the location Cape Town’sonly softball stadium, is currently beingused for football fixtures. The venue also hasthe required space and facilities, such as aclubhouse.Falcons have had to fund the tournament
themselves and have been hard at work se-curing sponsors.“Old Mutual and Oude Molen let us have
the fields free of charge, but we will makea donation to the school,” says Jangle.“Every player has to pay to participate,
while the rest of the money will come fromsponsorships.”Entry to the tournament will be free. For
more information or to sponsor phone Mal-colm Jenner on 076 765 5830.
New broomaims for PSLpromotionLIAM MOSES
Santos will win the National First Divi-sion (NFD) and gain promotion to thePremier Soccer League (PSL) this
year, if they can find the right mentality.That is the belief of former People’s Team
striker David Notoane, who was appointedhead coach earlier this month.Notoane took over from Ian Palmer, who
joined at the halfway mark of the 2012/2013season and lead the club to second place onthe table and a spot in the promotion/rele-gation play-offs.“A mental shift is a big necessity. We
came from the PSL and, in the beginning,we still did things and played as a PSLteam,” says Notoane.“We are going into the second season in
theNFDso the reality is thatwe are anNFDteam, even though – in terms of history andquality – we are a PSL team. We have to ap-proach things as an NFD team. We have towork as hard as we can and slog it out toget into the PSL. The thinking of Santos asa PSL teamneeds to change and the playersneed to understand that.”Santos got off to a poor start last season
and although the team improved vastly af-ter Palmer’s appointment, inconsistencystill played a major role in the failure tobounce back to the PSL.
TheLansdownebased clubwon13 games,drew 10 and lost five.In the off season the club has played sev-
eral friendlies, with the aim of building onthe improved performances in the secondhalf of last season.Notoane says they are attempting to sign
a forward and left and right midfielders, af-ter JonathanArmogamandGrahamKing’scontracts expired.While the quality of Santos’ signings will
be under scrutiny, the newmentor believesa “winning mentality” is more importantto helping his side develop the consistencyneeded to win the title this season.“We have the quality and we have the
right balance between experience andyouth to challenge for honours,” he says.“I amworking very hard to bring the best
out of the players. Even the young boyshave great ability. We just have to turn iton and play with a certain degree of self-ex-pression within the culture of developinga winning mentality and attitude.”“Wecameclose last season, so this season
we have to go one better.“The buzz words are ‘consistency’ and
‘winning mentality’.”The fixtures for the NFD season have not
been released as yet, but Notoane hopes toget off to a “good start” regardless of whothey face.
