A hot night out clubbing couldquickly turn in to a hellish experi-ence.The safety of clubbers is a com-
bined effort, says Norbert Furnon-Roberts, executive member of theCape Town Central CommunityPolicing Forum.His greatest fear is seeing a re-
peat of what happened in SantaMaria, Brazil, earlier this year –240 people died in a fire at a night-club after illegal pyrotechnicswere used indoors.Furnon-Roberts has been work-
ing, on behalf of the Cape TownCPF, with clubs to make them saf-er. He fears that a general lack ofadherence to safety regulationscould result in tragedy.“There haven’t been any inci-
dents yet, but it’s only a matter oftime. Some clubs have fire escapesthat end on the second floor andothers do not even display theirpopulation certificate. There arealso clubs that trade on the upperfloors when they are not supposedto.”And the tendency to flout safety
regulations has been noted bysome party-goers.A Green Point clubber, who asks
not to be named, says she once wit-nessed shocking behaviour at anight club.“There was a girl dancing on the
bar, and the bar tenders set a rowof shots and a section of the bar onfire for effect. The fire spread to thegirl’s foot, which caught alight. Weleft the club and I’m not sure if shewas injured.”A Long Street regular, who asks
to remain anonymous, says she isoften shocked at the disregard forpopulation certificates.“I’ve seen some clubs so full it
looks like people are going to falloff the balcony!”Furnon-Roberts says clubs get
away with murder once the sunsets. “During the day they mightadhere to the population certifi-cate, but at night there is no one toinspect the clubs.”According to the Community
Fire Safety Bylaw of 2002, all build-ingsmust have access for emergen-cy vehicles if they are not on a pub-lic road as well as fire escapeswhich are clearlymarkedwith cor-rectly functioning fire doors.Emergency exits must remain un-obstructed and only municipallyapproved locksmaybe used. Build-ings are also required to have fireextinguishers on site, whichshould be serviced once a year.Fire regulations are not specific
to clubs, but to all buildings, says
Ian Schnetler, the City of CapeTown’s acting executive director ofsafety and security, as they are vi-tal to reducing the risk of a fire.These include measures to ensurethe protection of occupants, in-cluding people with disabilities, aswell as provide safe evacuationroutes.“Regulations also stipulate that
adequate means of access, egressand equipment for detecting, fight-ing, controlling and extinguishingany fire is provided,” he says.“The City takes the contraven-
tion of fire regulations very seri-ously, especially in respect ofnightclubs, and will use the fullforce of the relevant legislation tobring offenders to book. This in-
cludes fines, issuing of warningsand notices and, in the case of con-tinued non-compliance or wherethere is an immediate safety haz-ard, a court order to shut down theestablishment.”An independent fire consultant,
speaking on condition of anonymi-ty, says he has worked with clubson one or two occasions, and hasfound the extinguishers are incor-rect, or the fire escapes areblocked. “It’s a management issue.For instance, the fire escapes willbe blocked by stock. In addition,the old buildings are not designedto be heavily populated,” he says.General manager of rooftop bar
Tjing Tjing, Frye Winters, saysthey renovated the old building to
ensure it complied with fire safetyregulations.“We have a staircase which goes
straight up to the roof, aswell a fireescape. We also have the fire extin-guisher regularly checked. It’s toprotect our business and our cus-tomers. Some people do take short-cuts though,” she says.Furnon-Roberts is now appeal-
ing to clubs to implement fire safe-ty training, in addition to adheringto regulations.“There is a need to review clubs
operating on the first or secondfloor, which should include thetraining of staff to deal with emer-gency situations,” he says.For more information, contact
Furnon-Roberts on 021 433 0790.

Hundreds of thousands of rands have beenstolen in two separate incidents from theCape Town International Convention Cen-tre (CTICC).
The CTICC was robbed of more thanR320 000 by a woman employee during the2010/2011 financial year.
In another incident that same year,
R409 000 was paid into a fake bank accountwhich was presented to the CTICC as thatof a service provider.
According to the CTICC’s 2012 annual re-port, both cases have been reported to thepolice.
Ian Neilson, the deputy mayor of CapeTown, confirmed the internal control sys-tems at the CTICC have been extensivelyimproved since.
The board of the CTICC says in a reportsubmitted to themonthlymeeting of the citycouncil on Friday that there is still a sumofR142 000 outstanding from themoneypaidinto the false account.
Themoney is shown as irrecoverable andthe board has asked that it be written off.
Neilson says after the control systemswere improved, there has been no moretheft from the CTICC.

If turning on your geyser is becoming a luxu-ry, your pocket has probably been hit hard bythe rocketing cost of electricity.
Consumers are strictly adjusting their pow-er consumption as the price of electricityunits steadily start eating at their budgets.
But a policy known as net metering –through which consumers generate electrici-ty using solar panels – could mean the end ofskyhigh costs, an energy expert reveals.
DavidLipschitz, the owner of renewable en-ergy company My Power Station, insists thatalthough theCity ofCapeTownhasnetmeter-ing tariffs, it is “doing everything in its powerto prevent the adoption of net metering”.
And an Eskom employee, who asks not tobe named, agrees with Lipschitz.
He explains how the “power struggle”over electricity actually works.
“Households buy their electricity fromthe municipalities. The municipalities buyit from Eskom. If households were to startgenerating their own electricity throughnetmetering and selling off the excess, howwould the municipalities make their mon-ey?” he asks.
“Farmers, factories and mines – all bigconsumers – buy their electricity directlyfromEskom. They pay a lot less than house-holds, who have to pay additional costs fortheir electricity from the municipality.
“Of course municipalities would bestrongly against net metering because any-body can install solar panels. Eskom, forone, would be very glad because then wewould be saving it a lot of energy. But themoney from household consumers is whatkeeps the councils going.”
Lipschitz explainsnetmeteringas “apay-ment system where users of electricity‘make’ their own electricity, and usuallybuy and sell electricity at the same rate”.
He says consumers who buy electricityfrom Eskom or the City at R1.50/kWh unitbut do not use all the power then resell theexcess to the service provider at the samerate.
“The idea is that during the day you‘bank’ excess electricity generated, and atnight you use electricity from the grid,”Lipschitz says.
The City says it hasmany reasons for notyet installing net metering.
These include tariffs and technicalitiesregarding individual households, or“small-scale embedded generation” on thepower grid, says Ernest Sonnenberg, theCity’sMayoral Committeemember forUtil-ity Services.
“While encouraging the use of small-scale embedded generation technologies isnoteworthy, this should not be done in away that disadvantages others,” he says.
He explains that the City has to chargea tariff that “recovers their fixed costs un-der all circumstances, doesn’t unfairly pe-nalise non-generating consumers, and stillprovides some level of compensation forthose who make the capital investment to
perform small-scale embeddedgeneration”.
Net metering requires the in-stallation of solar panels that areconnected to the electricity grid.
Access to the same grid will beutilised in the event of a reversepower flow – when energy is de-pleted and needs to be sent to ac-commodate a household’s sup-ply.
According to council, there areno technical standards yetwhichgovern what these connectionsshould look like.
“The City is currently in-volved in a national workgroupthat is developing national tech-nical standards,” Sonnenbergsays.
“Unfortunately, until nationalstandards are fully developedand implemented, and supplierscan provide grid connectionequipment with the relevantmark ‘stamped on it’, the processof obtaining approval to use al-ternatives is complex andlengthy.”
The current plan is that assoon as grid-connected small-scale embedded generation –suchasnetmetering – is allowed,the City will charge a tariffwhich includes a daily servicecharge, a higher energy con-sumption tariff and a lower tarifffor when the City buys excesselectricity, Sonnenberg says.
Lipschitz points out that thetechnology is popular in Europeand the USA.
“I believe the public needs tobe made aware of this informa-tion so thatwe can do somethingabout the environment, create jobs and stim-ulate our economy,” he insists.
The Eskom employee adds that in otherprovinces people have begun installing Es-kom electricity boxes instead of using themunicipal ones.
“These cost about R1000 to install. Thenthe household buys electricity straight fromEskom, without the added charges from the
municipality.”V For more information about net metering, phoneDavid Lipschitz on (021) 551 9935 or (021) 813 9895or visit www.mypowerstation.biz.

A fence recently installed as a securitymeasure at the Wash House Quarry in Bo-Kaap has been taken down amid safety con-cerns.Palisade fencing and a gate were installed
at the quarry in Chiappini Street lastmonthin response to security concerns at the quar-ry’s informal settlement, says ward council-lor Dave Bryant.These safety concerns were highlighted
earlier this year, when a woman was killedafter she fell to her death froma quarry edgewhile escaping a mugger.According to Bryant, the criminals do not
live in the informal settlement, but use it asan escape route. The fences were meant tocurb this.The fencing cost R43000 to install with
both Prayer Quarry and Wash House Quar-ry targeted. The fencing was funded by sur-plus line department funding.
However, concerns were raised over thefencing (“Fencing in crime”, People’s PostTuesday 9 July), with a resident near theWash House Quarry saying criminalscould use the gates to lock out police andthe gates posed a safety risk in the event ofa fire.Despite Bryant’s assurance that the gates
would remain unlocked, they have nowbeen removed completely.“We received a number of complaints
such as if the gate would be used to preventpolice entering the area,” he says.“We have left the fence at Prayer Quarry.
That is working fantastically.”Chairperson of the Bo-Kaap Neighbour-
hood Watch Anwar Valley says they werenot aware gates would be erected and arepleased with the change of heart. “The con-cern was around safety – someone couldlock those people in. It’s much better nowthat they have been removed. We under-stand the City of Cape Town is looking atother securitymeasures whichwill bemoreeffective, such as a camera,” Valley says.Bryant confirmed the City is considering
installing a CCTV camera with improvedlighting, which will cost around R150 000.

Home to the Perseverance Tavernand the National Archives, LowerGardens will soon have a newname – one chosen by Capet-onains.The area bordered by Roeland,
Hatfield and Mill streets is the lat-est demarcation of the Name YourHood Campaign.Launched in 2011, the campaign
aims to create identities for de-fined areas in the city through pub-
lic participation.Much like Soho or Tribeca in
New York, the campaign looks toidentify neighbourhoods withtheir own unique character withinthe city.Fourteen neighbourhoods have
been named, and now the cam-paign is moving onto Lower Gar-dens.The namewill not be official, but
rather a way to encourage resi-dents to take ownership of theirneighbourhood.
Capetonians are urged to ex-plore the neighbourhood’s distinc-tiveness, heritage and uniquecharacter and to then submit aname by using ballot boxes in thearea or at nameyourhood.co.za.BruceGood, themanaging direc-
tor of Name Your Hood, says:“We’re celebrating everythingCape Town has to offer; its incredi-ble landmarks, rich history and vi-brant culture.We’vepulled in localheroes, architects, historians andcity planners to create new, easy-
to-navigate city hoods. Now it’s upto everyone to get involved – any-
“Historically, the area has beenneglected but now with the chang-ing face of the area, it’s only fittingto change the name.”Resident Lee Plotz is fully be-
hind the campaign.“It’s a great idea, because it al-
lows people to take ownership oftheir area. Now I just have to thinkabout my submission!”Submissions are open until the
end of the month, after which ashortlist of the best names andmo-tivations will go to a public vote.The winning name will be an-
nounced in October.

After the tragic death of a youngwoman at the Kimberley Hotellast Sunday, the hotel is investi-gating ways of making the balco-ny safer for patrons.Members of the Cape Town
Central Community Police Fo-rum and City of Cape Town offi-cials met with the tenants of theKimberley Hotel to explore possi-ble safety measures.This comes after the death of a
21-year-old who fell from the firstfloor balcony last week.Rosa Carlyle-Mitchell was re-
portedly celebratingher 21st birthday at thehotel on Sunday 28 July, and while sittingon the balcony, fell backwards. She was de-clared dead on the scene.“Wehaveneverhadan incident like this,”
says restaurant owner Dean Hubbard. “Infact, in the last eight years we’ve only hadone incident involvingaglass fall off thebal-cony onto a parked car. The staff are verydiligent in addressing potentially danger-ous behaviour on the balcony.”Clubs with balconies often prove a con-
cern, says ward councillor Dave Bryant.“We’ve been dealing with a lot of issuesaround balconies in Long Street. The build-ings are old and have wooden supports andweak balustrades.”However, the balcony at the hotel was re-
built in cement from the historical woodand iron structure about 70 years ago, Hub-bard says. This modification, although saf-
er, has prevented the hotel from beingawarded heritage building status as it dif-fers from the design of buildings of the 1895period when the building was constructed.Hubbard is considering various solutions
to increase safety on the balcony, but “in themeantime, events in the upstairs sectionhave been put on hold”, he says.Some of the solutions suggested during
the meeting include increased signage toprevent patrons sitting on the railing of thebalcony or a cable running above the wallto prevent anyone falling off. It was also sug-gested by the CPF that the hotel considerhaving additional staff on duty to guardagainst potentially dangerous behaviour.However, he says thesemay take time to im-plement. “It would all be subject to approv-al,” Hubbard says.Police are investigating the cause of
death.

Bergvliet’s own moto-cross champion recentlyproved his class at inter-national level when hefinished ahead of some ofthe world’s best at theYouth Motocross Interna-tional in Commercy,France.
Justin “The Sandman”Sangster beat UK champi-on Ike Carter, Dutchnumber two Mack Bou-wenstein and the USA’sMarc Gonzalez to finishseventh out of 80 riders inthe under-12 65cc catego-ry gold final on Sunday 14July.
The 10-year-old says hewas happy to with hisplacing after struggling inthe same race last year.
“Last year in France Icrashed at the start of thegold final and went downto 40th, but I still managedto pass five people (toeventually) finish 35th,”Sangster says.
“I was really happy (toplace) seventh this year,but starting with 40 guysin the line is difficult; inSouth Africa you only get15. When all 40 guys go in-to the corner you justhave to hold your line andtry not to get bumped. Ifone person falls in front,you get held up.”
Sangster has shownbags of talent since takingup the sport at the age ofseven. He has won five re-gional titles since ridinghis first race.
Last year Sangster also won the 50cc ProSenior Championship and he currentlyleads the regional 85cc class by two points.
The Sweet Valley Primary pupil says heloves the sport because he enjoys being ableto control the power of the motorbike and itallows him to spend time with his friends.
His father, Mark, says Justin has shownan immense amount of dedication since tak-ing up the sport.
“He works with a junior fitness specialistat the Sport Science Institute twice a weekand they go through some specific trainingfor motocross; (specially designed) for him.It works on his core, arms and legs becausehe needs to grip the bike,” Mark says.
“He attends team training on Wednesdaysand they spend about 150 minutes goingthrough sessions. He has a one-on-one withthe coach on Saturdays, rides on a Sundayand he often gets another ride in during theweek. He rides a minimum of three times aweek; spending between six and 10 hoursriding.”
Sangster says he hopes to one day makeit as a professional rider and race in the USAin the Lucas Oil Series – the biggest moto-cross series in the world.
Sangster will continue his charge to poleposition in SA junior motocross on Friday,when he participates in the World of Motor-sport SA North vs South Challenge in Blo-emfontein.

Salt River Blackpool struggled into the last16 of the Coca-Cola Cup with a one goal victo-ry over Bellville City in Grassy Park on Sun-day.
Blackpool had qualified for the last 32 witha 4-2 victory over Willow Stars from theNyanga Local Football Association, butcouldn’t recapture their goal scoring form inthis round.
Salt River wasted the first of a glut of gilt-edged goal-scoring opportunities in the 13thminute, when Moosa Stellenboom wasplayed through on goal but shot directly atBellville City goalkeeper, Kelly Ruthenberg.
Blackpool grew gradually more dominantas the game wore on and were in completecontrol by the 20 minute mark, but poor fin-ishing and bad decision-making in the finalthird stopped them from taking the lead.
Charlton April was next to squander anopportunity when a deft back-heel fromVirgel Ganger found him in a pocket of spacein the box and he waited too long beforethumping a shot into a defender on the goal-line.
Salt River, just as dominant in the secondstanza, finally found their goal-scoringtouch in the third minute when Stellenboomtook one of the more difficult chances of thegame with ease.
After bringing down a long, diagonal ballon the right side of the box, Stellenboom an-gled a shot beyond Ruthenberg and just in-side the far post.
Blackpool slowed the game down to acrawl after taking the lead, cutting out thedirect play which lead to Stellenboom’sopener and keeping possession for long peri-ods.
Bellville City struggled to regain posses-sion or string together passes when they hadthe ball, but they almost stole an equaliserin the 25th minute when Marco Russell in-tercepted an under-hit back pass, shootingdirectly at Blackpool keeper Yazeed Freder-icks. Blackpool left several chances on thepitch, but improved composure in front ofgoal could see them go all the way to the fi-nal.
The next round of the tournament will beplayed on Sunday 18 August. The venue andfixtures are yet to be released.

Ensuring future success, even at the ex-pense of immediate glory, is the goal Vil-lager RFC has set its newly appointedcoach.SouthAfrica’s secondoldest rugbyclub
selected UCT under-20 coach Andrew“Gunner” Hughes to take the reins at thestart of next season, after sufferingmajorset-backs over the last two years.Villager were relegated to Super
League B in 2012, then lost several firstteam members after bucking the trendand refusing to pay players.And, as a result, the club has struggled
on the field this season.Although a return to the top is the ulti-
mate aim, Villager chairperson BruceFraser says Hughes was hired to bring tolife the club’s vision of “a professional setup within an amateur club”.“The knee jerk reaction is to say that
we want to be back in Super League A by
2014 or 2015, but the reality is, in orderfor our club to progress, we need to takeplayerswho come to our club anddevelopthem into better players through thoseprofessional structures,” he says. “It’sbasically about us up-skilling those guysand creating futureVillagermenwho areplaying for the right reasons. We havegonewithGunner because I knowhis cre-dentials at UCT. He has a good group ofguys who will come with him; he is theright guy to put in what we are lookingfor.”AlthoughWesternProvince club rugby
leagues are amateur, it is believed topplayers in Super League A and B earn inexcess of R15 000 a month.The decision to completely halt paying
playersmeansVillagerwill struggle to at-tract the top talent needed to be competi-tive top and may continue to lose its bestplayers to rival clubs offering substantialsalaries.Hughes took the job because of the
unique challenge at Brookside and be-lieves it is possible to stay competitivewhile not paying players. “It is possiblebut it’s not going to be a quick fix and isgoing to take two to three years,” he says.“At themomentwe have the right play-
ers, playing for the right reasons. I thinkwe need to hold on to them and add a few.We need to be professional in the way weprepare and the staff we have. We havetwo sports psychologists, threebiokeneti-cists and a doctor.”Hughes believes the current system of
paying players is unsustainable and saysit’s a “pipe dream” of his that all clubswill follow suite and become fully ama-teur.He hopes to attract top players by ap-
pealing to their hearts instead of theirwallets and giving them a chance to“make a difference” at Villager.Andhehopes tokeepplayers at the club
by making them feel valued and treatingthem as professionals in every other waythan paying them a salary.Hughes will bring a 14-member coach-
ing staff with him from UCT when hestarts at Villager in 2014. Fraser is alsoVillager’s current first team coach aftertaking over when Rito Hlungwane re-signed earlier this year.
