He says the Trust does not have the respon- sibility to remove her. “Especially after the way in which people were removed from that area during the apartheid era, we certainly do not want a re- peat of that and would rather choose to let the law take its course.” Nagia encouraged returnees to lodge com- plaints about the houses to the project manag- ers, Target. “They (residents) must be really quick and lodge these complaints.

DISTRICT SIX returnees have expresseddismay at the condition of the homes theynow occupy.

Residents say their homes are in disrepairand they have also taken up the issue withthe District Six Beneficiary and Redevelop-ment Trust.

One such resident is Annie Bam (89).She says she has vowed to never give up the

fight for better living conditions in DistrictSix.

The Roger Street resident is one of the lastremaining original residents of District Sixto have moved back home.

Bam, who returned eight years ago, saysshe has endured persistent leaking in thekitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. She saysthe bedroom ceiling has caved in and one ofthe walls is damp.

Bam says she has sought help from the Cityof Cape Town, Regional Land Claims Com-mission and the Trust.

“They do nothing for us. We need to get peo-ple to stand together,” says Bam.

“I will fight for what is right.”Rosemary Jacobs occupies a house in the

third phase of the development.Callingherself an “illegal” resident, Jacobs

explains she “broke down the door” to moveinto the property in August.

She has since been living in the propertywith her children.

While she admits she lives there “illegal-ly”, Jacobs says she is, in fact, a land claim-ant.

“I am not afraid of losing my house, be-cause I am a claimant. I am from District Sixand I will not be trampled on.”

The land in question has previously beenregistered with the City of Cape Town.

It has since been assigned to the RegionalLand Claims Commission for restitution pur-poses in terms of the Restitution Act 22 of

1994. Chairperson of the Trust, Anwah Nagia,is aware of the actions Jacobs took to moveinto the property.

He says the Trust does not have the respon-sibility to remove her.

“Especially after the way in which peoplewere removed from that area during theapartheid era, we certainly do not want a re-peat of that and would rather choose to let thelaw take its course.”

Nagia encouraged returnees to lodge com-plaints about thehouses to theprojectmanag-ers, Target.

SEA POINT residents will forward a mo-tion to council to pull the plug on pro-poseddevelopmentplans for theSeaPointPromenade and pavilion.

On Track Developments revealed plans tointroduce a shopping complex, spa and hotelbut got shot down by residents after concernsaround rezoning a public open space wereraised.

The City of Cape Town initially granted OnTrack Developments permission to demolishthe swimming pools at the pavilion for devel-opment purposes.

Ward councillor Beverley Schafer revealedplans to submit a Motion of Exigency to coun-cil requesting that the development plans berejected.

The subcouncil will call on the Mayor, May-co and council of the City of Cape Town to “fi-nally withdraw the 1998 Proposal Call onwhich this redevelopment is premised”.

“I am representing my community and theresidents living in the area. I will be request-ing council to not accept the developmentplans for the area,” she says.

The move comes after plans to develop thepublic open space resurfaced, sending a waveof concern through the Sea Point community.

Schafer confirms that the public is heavilyopposed to the redevelopment, justifyingtheir opposition by submitting a petitionwith 15 000 signatures against the develop-ment.

“I am calling on council to make a final de-cision on this matter. I am planning to callfor the property not to be rezoned for commer-cial purposes,” she says.

“We understand that the process has al-ready been advertised by the City and thatcannot be reversed, but we want finality onthis matter. We are calling for council to pullthe plug on this issue.”

Janey Ball, the project manager for Sea-front For All (SEAFA), will be delighted if theproposals are withdrawn.

“Our constitution states that we protectand represent the public open space on theAtlantic Seaboard and we will continue to doso,” she says.

Ball explains that SEAFA has alwaysraised concerns around rezoning the publicopen space and are against turning the spaceinto one that could be used for commercialpurposes.

“The proposed plan highlights work thatwill be conducted on the northern and south-ern sides of the promenade. We will continueto remain vocal in this regard and raise ourgrievances around developing the publicopen space,” she says.

Sea Point resident Anton van Dam has beenliving directly opposite the Sea Point Pavil-ion for the past 30 years and would hate tosee one of the most historic landmarks inCape Town replaced.

He adds that beautifying the space wouldbe one argument, but taking it away to haveit replaced with a “completely unnecessarydevelopment” is a whole new kettle of fish.

“I’m sure I speak for many of the residentsaround here; a development on this spaceshould never be allowed to go ahead,” he says.

Laughing, Van Dam adds: “Watch me tiemyself to the rocks below the sea wall if thisdevelopment must happen”.

Felicia Davids is another resident who feels

that the proposed development is “totallywrong” for the space.

“Anything that affects the beauty and his-torical significance of this space is not want-ed,” she says.

“In fact, it should be made against the lawto develop this open space.”

Davids is well aware of the developmentplans, but confirms that if the plans are to un-fold, she would move from the area.

Attempts were made by People’s Post togain comment from On Track Developments,but they were unable to comment at the timeof going to print.

LUZUKO ZINI

THE GRAND DAME of medicalcare in the city, Groote SchuurHospital, is celebrating her 75thanniversary this year.

This world-renowned facility hasa rich history.When Cecil John Rhodes died in

1903 he left his home, Groote Schu-ur, which was built in 1897, to thegovernment as a permanent resi-

dence for prime ministers of SouthAfrica. The remainder of his estatewas left to “a united South Africa”with the expressed hope that theland would be used as a nationalteaching university. This hope wasrealised when the University ofCape Town was established on aportion of the estate in 1918.A special statute authorised the

use of the north end of the site forthe purpose of building a fully-equipped hospital. The governmentthen granted the site to the univer-sity.In 1926, the university agreed to

lease 11 hectares of the estate, adja-cent to the newly built medicalschool, to the Cape Hospital Boardfor 99 years at a rate of £1 per an-num. The land was to be used for anew teaching hospital for the medi-cal faculty for the university.Construction of the hospital be-

gan in 1927 and was open 1938. Atthe time there was a nursing staffof 450 for the 850 planned beds, al-though 628 were equipped for use.It was in the early 1940s, after the

outbreak of World War II, that thehospital became fully functional.Today the hospital has 3716 full-

time staff, 215 part-time staff and

ed and strive for excellence,” shesays.“I have worked with different

professionals and all of them havea goal of making sure that this hos-pital provides the best of the bestservices.”Carter says the hospital is one of

two central hospitals serving peo-ple from province and outside theprovince as well.“The hospital will continue to

strive towards the provincialhealth departments vision of quali-ty health for all, and fulfil its mis-sion to provide outstanding special-ist and subspecialist care to the peo-ple of the province and beyond,”Carter says.Over the year the hospital has

achieved many firsts. In December1967, Professor Chris Barnard per-formed the first heart transplant inthe world at the hospital.South Africa’s first bone marrow

THE BO-KAAP community is once againsounding off against the minstrels.

As the final stages of the minstrel competi-tions draw to a close, troupes arewell into thehabit of showing off their silverware and em-bark on back marches through the historicneighbourhood.On Saturday 19 January, residents report-

ed that minstrels walked until 03:00 and onSaturday 26 January, theywalked until 01:00,when they believe the agreementwas that on-ly teams based in the area were allowed towalk until 00:00.Mayoral Committee member for Tourism,

Events and Marketing, Grant Pascoe, ex-plains that no teamsor associationswere pro-vided with an Events Permit to marchthrough Bo-Kaap.“Thesehavebeen illegalmarches,” he says.“The City has beenmade aware of the back

marches over the last two weekends.”He adds that during a meeting with the

minstrel associations in December last year,the Bo-Kaap community agreed that only res-ident teamswould return, but only until mid-night.Bo-Kaap resident Amina Kathradah has

reached her wits’ end with the minstrels and

could not understand how they were al-lowed to walk into the early hours of themorning.“Just when you get settled in and start to

relax, you hear these minstrels marchingthrough the streets non-stop. They must un-derstand that there are people trying tosleep and they cannot just walk through thearea without informing us,” she says.Another upset resident, Sharief Daniels,

is furious as his newborn baby was awokenby minstrels during these back marches.“We struggled the whole night trying to

get her to sleep. Eventually when she did,these minstrels decided to walk through thearea and we ended up sitting with the babyuntil 05:00,” he says.“It really is sickening and one can only ac-

cept so much.”Daniels contacted police and the Law En-

forcement, but to no avail, as teams contin-ued to walk through Bo-Kaap showing oftheir winnings.“What is the point of making an agree-

ment with residents when all that happensis the complete opposite of what you agreedupon?” he asks.Chairperson for the Cape Town Minstrel

Carnival Association (CTMCA), RichardStemmet, understood that an agreementwas reachedandonly resident teamsbelong-ing to the CTMCA marched through Bo-Kaap. “We had an agreement that thetroupes will arrive before 00:00 (midnight),then march through. At no point were anyof our troupes there until the early hours ofthe morning,” he says.Despite fingers pointed towards the CTM-

CA, Stemmet denies the fact that any of theteams belonging to his board marchedthrough Bo-Kaap after the cut-off time.“The City has tried to work with the asso-

ciations and boards by including informa-tionwith regard to backmarches in the Spe-cial Agreement. There is ongoing communi-cation between the City and the associationin order to address this issue,” Grant says.The Schotshekloof Ratepayers and Resi-

dents Association chose not to comment on thematter, as council has already been madeaware of the concerns.Residents are encouraged to lodge com-

plaints around the marches on 0 086 076 5423

and Law Enforcement officials will shut itdown, says Grant.People’s Post contacted the Kaapse Klopse

Karnaval Association, but theywere notwill-ing to comment at the time of going to print.

South Africans to mark theachievement by donating R1 forevery one of the 62 marathonscompleted.Tim Noakes, a patron for the

SA brace for OranjeOranje onslaughtLIAM MOSES

HOLLAND will pose the biggest threat tothe women in green and gold when theSouth Africanwomen’s hockey team taketo the field in the Investec Challenge,

This according to the team leadership, whoselected the Dutch – the top ranked interna-tional women’s team andOlympic champions – as their toughest op-

position in the tournament.At tournament launch inNewlands onSun-

day, SA coach Giles Bonnet picked Hollandas favourites to come out on top ahead of hisside, Australia and England.“They (Holland) are far further along than

the other teams at this stage. The Dutch werevery impressive againstAustralia (in awarmup game at Hartleyvale Stadium on Satur-day), from the start and all the way through,”says Bonnet.“When the tournament starts I’m sure we

will see a very different England team and Ihope we will see a very different South Afri-can team.We have everything to play for andI think the competition level will rise bymay-be 15 to 20 percent when the competitionstarts.”

SAhavebeen in redhot formrecently, beat-ing Belgium, Ghana, Austria and Azerbaijanin consecutive matches in round two of theInternational Hockey Federation WorldLeague last month.The hosts also pulled off an impressive 3-1

victory in a warm up match against Englandon Saturday, while Holland thrashed Aus-tralia 6-1.SA co-captain Marsha Marescia said it

would be dangerous to read toomuch into thewarm-up matches’ results, but echoed Bon-net’s sentiments about the Dutch.“I think from theDutch teamweare expect-

ing a high intensity performance and a highpaced game. Just judging from the warm-upgames – from all the four teams they have themost Olympic team players still part of theirgroup. So we are expecting quite a goodmatch,” she says.“Like us, England and Australia are in dif-

ferent phases, building new teams. It will bea lotmore competitive and closer. I’mnot say-ing we won’t be too close to the Dutch, be-cause we have proved that we can (play atthat level).”The InvestecChallengekickedoff last night

(Monday 4 February) when the Holland facedAustralia and SA took on England at Hartley-

vale. Holland take England tonight, whileand South Africa will face Australia.Investec SA team: Sanani Mangisa, Lisa

Deetlefs, Pietie Coetzee, Marsha Marescia(co-captain), Bernie Coston, Shelley Russell,

Jade Mayne, Quanita Bobbs, Tarryn Bright,Marcelle Keet, Lilian du Plessis, PhumeMbande, Dirkie Chamberlain, Nicolene Ter-blanche, Lenise Marais (co-captain), KellyMadsen, Sulette Damons and Celia Evans.
