AFTER a rowdy display of support by soccerfans had Green Point locals clutching theirears in frustration, additional law enforce-ment measures are being planned to keepunruly revellers in check.This comes after a “chaotic” spectacle un-

folded at Cape Town Stadium last week, re-sulting in fears of an encore at the two inter-national events planned for the next twodays.Bob Goebel, the chairperson of the Green

Point Ratepayers’ Association, says revel-lers at Wednesday’s soccer match were ex-cessively noisy. Others, he says, made them-selves guilty of public indecency by urinat-ing on residents’ boundary walls andpavements.“We had a fairly good run for a couple of

months without any incidents. But Wednes-day was absolute chaos,” he says. “It waslike a tsunami of rabble-rousing spectators!”Adding to the turmoil was a lack of traffic

control, Goebel says.The roads were in anarchy, JaneMeyer of

the Mouille Point Ratepayers’ Associationconfirms. “This area was completely grid-locked. There was traffic congestion, nodoubt caused by the bus strikes, and illegalparking,” she says.Meyer’s fingers are firmly pointed at the

City, whom she says should have made pro-visions for the increase in traffic.Goebel also places the blame at the City’s

door, adding that therewas a lack visible po-licing.Grant Pascoe, the Mayoral Committee

member for Tourism, Events and Market-ing, says the bus strike led to the disorder.

“Due to the national transport strike,more people used private vehicles to enterthe CBD,” he says. The City leaves crowdcontrol to the police, Pascoe continues, andofficers would be the ones to enforce any leg-islation on public urination.Warrant Officer Bheki Xulu, the spokes-

person for the Green Point police, says offic-ers are dispatched according to the size ofthe crowd anticipated. “We increase thenumber of officers according to the amountof tickets sold, as some matches are smallerthan others.” Concerns over the public uri-nation had been brought to the attention ofthe police after the game, Xulu says.“Many people don’t want towait to use the

toilets. We’re looking at whether there is aneed for portable toilets, but the fans alsoneed to be educated on how to behave.”Meyer is also fuming about the heaps of

litter left at the stadium.Goebel isworried about theupcomingBon

Jovi and Justin Bieber concerts, scheduledto take place tonight and tomorrow respec-tively.However,Meyer is lessworried abouthooligan revellers and thinks traffic controlis the bigger issue. “The noise is containedin the stadium. The only concern is traffic.”However, Pascoe says residents have no

reason to be worried. “The City and theevent organisers and relevant authoritieswill put a plan in place, as it does for allevents.”Pascoe says extra Law Enforcement and

police will be on duty, and in view of the busstrike, commuters are encouraged to usetrains, or park in the City Bowl and use theFanwalk. He adds: “Our officers are goingto be very strict in terms of parking, and weask revellers to co-operate.”

IT IS 18 days into the national busstrike and the train and mainroutes remain persistently con-gested.No consensus has yet been

reached between bus drivers andtheir employers, and there is noend in sight to the strike.Richard Bosman, the City of

Cape Town’s head of Safety and Se-curity, says traffic congestion hasincreased since the start of themass action more than two weeksago.“My staff have indicated there

has been an increase of between25% and 30% traffic on the mainroutes of the R27, the N1 and N2,”Bosman says.About 200 000 Golden Arrow

commuters are being affected bythe strike.Metrorail spokesperson Riana

Scott says the rail service trans-ports about 16 000 additional com-muters daily.All 47 MyCiTi buses, which

stopped running last Friday, re-main stationary.Gary Wilson, the secretary-gen-

eral of the SouthAfrican Road Pas-senger Bargaining Council, said anew proposal had been conveyedto all the relevant parties. Hewould not elaborate on the con-tent.But Satawu spokesperson Vin-

cent Masoga said the propositionhad been rejected and the strikewould continue.Barry Gie, from the Commuters

Bus Employers’ Organisation andthe spokesperson of the employ-ers, said they are concerned aboutthe impact the strike is having andis aiming to resolve the matterspeedily.“We cannot offer the double-fig-

ure increase,” he said.Anele Mpalala, a taxi driver

with a route between Philippi andCape Town, said he is not reallybenefiting from the strike.“I am not transporting more

people. It’s basically just one moretrip for each driver.“The bus commuters are opting

to use the train.”Since the start of the strike,

some businesses have indicatedthey had not yet been hit hard byit.Fred Jacobs, the president of the

CapeTownChamber ofCommerce

and Industry, said a survey hadfound that eight of the 15 memberspolled said they had not been over-ly adversely affected by the action.The members were also ques-

tioned about theirworkers’ attend-ance.“Two of the 15 said theywere not

affected, while the remainder indi-cated their workers do arrive late.

The employers have been organis-ing transport for their staff.”They were also asked about staff

productivity.“Eight companies said they had

to ask their employees to workover weekends and extra hours. Insome cases, management collectedtheir workers themselves,” Jacobssaid.

PROSTHETIC LEGS are gen-erally not considered afforda-ble options for poor SouthAfri-cans living with amputatedlimbs.This can cost up to R750 000

and leads to limitedmovementwith the use of two crutchesand regular visits to the occu-pational therapist, whichforms part of a frustrating andpainful daily routine.One Cape Town resident re-

cently benefited from the com-passionate assistance of a goodSamaritan, Dr Micheal Nel,whose timely interventiongave her a new lease on life.Yvonne Mukombe (27) was

the victim of a horrific car ac-cident on 27 December 2009.Her one leg was amputated af-ter complications from the ac-cident.Mukombe, who runs a stall

for the Cape Town Society forthe Blind at the Food Marketon the Wharf in the V&A Wa-terfront, recently received acarbon fibre prosthetic legfrom Dr Nel.“The CEO at the Society con-

tacted him and he chose me asone of his five annual pro bonopatients and performed a pro-

cedure onmewithin an hour,”an overjoyed Mukombe says.The prosthetic leg can cost

between R25 000 and R700 000.The advantage of such a leg isthat somebody using it can en-hance their movement and re-gain about 50 to 60 percent ofthemobility of the original leg.“I perform a few of these pro-

cedures for free every year togive something back to thecommunity,” Dr Nel explains.Mukombe says.“I am ecstat-

ic about the procedure, be-cause it lifted my spirits andgave me a new life. I can walkwith the help of one crutchnow.“I have thrown the other

crutchaway.Thishas inspiredme; I can sell cane products forthe Society and do my choresathomewithout outsideassist-ance.”CEO for the Society, Lizelle

van Wyk, praised Dr Nel forhis generous gesture.“Because of his generosity,

Yvonne can sell products intheWaterfront to ourmany in-ternational visitors and there-by support and strengthen theendeavours of our local caneentrepreneurs.”

TAURIQ HASSEN

PROPERTY valuations in Bo-Kaaphas left residents steaming.They claim the increasewill leave

a gaping hole in their pockets.The potential rates increase has

led to a multitude of objectionsstreaming in from irate residents.The Bo-KaapCivic Association al-

ready handed in 74 objections on be-half of pensioners and disabled resi-dents to the City of Cape Town.A review of the City’s rates policy

is now a request at the tip of resi-dents’ tongue.Chairperson of the association,

Osman Shaboodien, says that manymore residents have lodged com-plaints individually, apart from the74 that were already handed in tocouncil.Residents who did not wish to

lodge objections through the associ-ation were given the option of doingso on their own. “This is quite a seri-ous issue, because people are genu-inely concerned about this increase.People cannot afford to experiencethis rates increase and it is vitallyimportant for the City to take noteof these objections,” he says.If the rates increase, he asks:

“Where are the basic services thatare required within the communi-ty?” These are questions that mustbe answered,” he says.

TheCity already received 8 548 ob-jections since the general valuationroll of 815 676 properties were pub-lished in February.Property prices had been derived

from sales around July last year.Bo-Kaap resident Shabeer Martin

(54), is livid.He says the increase will only

strangle his family’s already sparsebudget.“TheCitynever considered every-

body when making this decision. Ihave to worry about how I’m goingto keep this roof over my family’shead,” he says. “This is ridiculous.”Martin is one of the residents who

individually lodged an objection,but believes the objectionswill “fallon deaf ears”.“I honestly don’t think the City

cares about who can or cannot af-ford it. Themoneymust just be paid.How you do it is not their problem,”he says.Earlier this year, Bo-Kaap resi-

dents met with officials from theCity to address their worries.The meeting was arranged by the

association and was held at theSchotshekloof Civic Centre in WaleStreet.At the meeting residents handed

in their objections to the associationto submit to council.Also, City officials informed resi-

dents of the correct processes in-volved in property valuations.The rates and taxes arepayable on

the new property price estimationsas from Monday 1 July.The official objection period for

the general evaluation of 2012(GV2012) is now closed.If residents failed to submit an ob-

jection by 30April, then it is deemedthat the property owner accepts theevaluation as published on theGV2012 valuation roll and the valueof their property according to thevaluation roll is final.Properties that are subject to ob-

jections may still have their valua-tions altered.Mayoral Committee member for

Finance, Ian Neilson, explains thattheMunicipalValuerwill assess theobjections and submit a decision tothe City’s Revenue Department forthe account to be adjusted.“It should be noted that the deci-

sion may result in a decrease or in-crease to the original valuation. Theobjector will be notified inwriting,”he says.Neilson confirms that, in general,

the City has mainly received objec-tions about the high property valueand well as incorrect billing infor-mation. “Property ownerswill needto pay rates until the objection is re-solved,” Neilson explains.“The rates need not be based on

the new evaluation, but must atleast resemble the amount you arecurrently paying.”The final number of objections

has not been finalised and will onlybe available once the last-minute ob-jections received on the final dayhave been captured.“The City is satisfied that all nec-

essary factors are considered in thevaluation process,” Neilson says.

Bye-byeBye-byeholidays?holidays?SSOUTH AFRICANS face the possibility

of having fewer mid-week breaks andlong weekends.

A government task team has reportedlybeen set up to investigate a possible reduc-tion in the number of public holidays. Thisis after some religious groups said the SouthAfrican calendar was discriminatingagainst them.Some of the holidays that could be

scrapped include Day of Reconciliation, Dayof Goodwill and Family Day.People’s Post polled readers for their

thoughts on the possibility of having fewerpublic holidays.

ZZANDILEANDILE MAMAQHOQHOSHASHA says public holidays bringpeople from different backgrounds together.“Every holiday has a meaning attached to it andmore holidays should be added to accommodateother religions instead of scrapping a few.”

TTAASMEEDSMEED ABRABRAHAMSAHAMS agrees that more holidaysshould be added to honour other religious groups.“No holiday should be scrapped, but every reli­gious holidays should be celebrated as we havemore than one religion in our country.”

LINSDAY CLINSDAY CAMERAMERON­DOWON­DOW says all religions shouldbe taken into account due to our cultural diversity.“All religions are important and every religionshould benefit from the holiday. They shouldn’treduce the holidays, but they can add more.”

NICKNICK OLIVIEROLIVIER says the issue is a controversial oneand many people will disagree. “There are a fewholidays I think should be reconsidered. But thosedays also have history attached to them and ifI name them I might upset a few people.”

JJADE JADE JANSENANSEN says more holidays should be add­ed. “It is only fair that other religious celebrationsbe recognised as holidays. But none of the exist­ing holidays should be taken away as they havea history that comes with them.”

WWAAYDONYDON WEBERWEBER says religious holidays are im­portant. “No public holiday should be scrappedbecause they are all significant. Instead, they canadd more holidays to accommodate other reli­gious groups.”

YENTL KYENTL KOHLEROHLER says every holiday is significant.“It is not just a random day off. We live in a diversecountry with different cultures. It will be good ifother cultures and religious holidays are also em­braced.”

RADIO 786 claims it narrowly missed be-ing swindled of almost R2m by a formerboard member.According to Ali Chicktay, an execu-

tive committee member of Radio 786,Mogammad de Vries, the former chair-person of the Islamic Unity Convention(IUC) – under which the committee falls– was replaced after a vote of no confi-dence in September 2011.Chicktay says that in early January

this year, De Vries sent a letter to the in-vestment company holding a beneficiaryaccount for Radio 786, “pretending thathe was still the chairperson of the IUC”.Chicktay declined to name the invest-

ment company for fear of “causing nega-tive publicity”.The radio station has an investment ac-

count, from which it can transfer fundsinto a current account, or beneficiary ac-count, belonging to Radio 786.The letter, which Chicktay says was on

an “IUC letterhead, (with) changed ad-dress and telephone numbers on it”, re-quested that De Vries and an associate benamed the new signatories, and“changed the beneficiary account, whichwas always the Radio 786 account” fromthe station’s current account, Chicktaysays.The committee discovered the changes

about threeweeks agowhen they contact-ed the investment company to obtain a re-port, he says.“At that point the company informed

us the current signatories to the Radio786 investment account were no longersignatories to the account on the basisthatDeVries hadwritten to them in earlyJanuary that the signatories and benefi-ciary bank account must be changed,”Chicktay says.

“Fortunately, no monies were with-drawn or transferred from the invest-

ment account. The account has, however,been frozen by the investment company.”De Vries, however, counters that the

accusations “are all lies”.He says he still held the position of

chairperson in January, as the Septem-ber meeting had been unconstitutionaland the vote had taken place in his ab-sence.However, according to Chicktay, com-

plete protocol was followed and an officerof the court presided over the meeting.“I wasmandated to do it by the commit-

tee, and themandate and resolutionweregiven to the bank,” say De Vries.Chicktay responded, saying: “What

committee? He was booted out in 2011(and) has done no work for the IUCsince.”While the matter is being attended to,

the station’s investment account hasbeen frozen, leaving Radio 786 to tightentheir belts.The investment account is kept in re-

serve for future development and for un-expected costs, such as legal fees. The sta-tion’s current account, the original bene-ficiary account, is still operational and isused to pay salaries and day-to-day ex-penses. “We managed to pay salaries atthe end of April, but it wasn’t easy,”Chicktay says.Radio 786 is mired in a costly legal bat-

tle about an Independent Communica-tions Authority of South Africa (Icasa)complaint hearing involving the SouthAfricanJewishBoard ofDeputies and theIUC. “This situation can have dire conse-quences for our cash flow and meetingour monthly expenses, including staffsalaries and contributions to their provi-dent funds. Funds will also be requiredfor the continuation of the Icasa hearingcoming up shortly as well as some capitalexpenditurewewere intending tomake.”Chicktay says no criminal charges will

be pressed.“Because this situation arose as a re-

sult of an internal dispute and no moneyhas been lost, our only intention current-lywouldbe to regain control of the invest-ment account.”

MORE than 5 000 households in theMother City earn more than R2.5m perannum, in comparison to the majority offamilies that get bywith between R19 000and R38 000.This is according to the latest figures

recently released by Statistics South Af-rica.This data was refined during the last

census, conducted two yeas ago.Sea Point, Rondebosch and Claremont

are the suburbs with the largest percent-age of people with this high income.A total of 146 547 household have no in-

come at all – the second largest incomegroup of families in Cape Town.Thousandsof these residents live inar-

eas like Tafelsig, Gugulethu, Mfuleni,Philippi East, Du Noon, Crossroads,Bloekombos and Khayelitsha.The second largest groupwith the low-

est income live far below the breadlinewith an income of R4 800 per year.Dr Chris Harmse, the director of Re-

balance Investments, calculated that48% of families earn less than R3 183 permonth, and “anything under R3 500 isliving in poverty”.StatsSAstatistics general Pali Lehohla

says there are people in the very high in-come groups as well as those living inpoverty who don’t accurately reporttheir earnings.He said those in the high income group

“under-report their income for tax pur-poses”.There are also those which indicated

little to very low income, but their ex-penses indicate otherwise.“There could be someone in the imme-

diate family that could earn muchmore,” he said.Students’ pocket money should count

as an income, as well as elderly peoplewho collect pensions.This is then placed in an annual in-

come category, Lehohla explains.Yet people don’t always see this as a

steady income.The country’s income tax base is in

Gauteng, followed by the Western Cape.And who are the middle class?“They have steady, stable jobs, a car,

a house and live in the suburbs. Theirfamilies are smaller and their income ismore thanR100 000 per annum,”Lehohlasays.The neighbourhoods comprising the

top tenareasof people earningmore thanR2.5m are Rondebosch with 123; Sea

Point with 120; Claremont with117; Newlands with 84; Pinelandswith 75; Gardens with 72; HoutBay with 66; Parklands with 63;Table View with 60; and CampsBay with 57.

Bluebells back on the fieldLIAM MOSES

BLUEBELLS AFC played their firstfootball matches of the season on Sat-urday after their suspension was lift-

ed by the Cape District Local Football As-sociation (CDLFA).

The Wynberg club won a R81 000 lawsuitagainstCDLFA inDecember, butwere sub-sequently indefinitely suspended from allfootball in February for breaching the or-ganisation’s constitution for taking legalaction.

Bluebells were also banned from enter-ing William Herbert Sports Grounds inWynberg by the venue’s Municipal Field

Management Committee after protestingat the grounds on Saturday 16 March.

However, thematter between the organi-sation and the club has now been settledout of court, after theCDLFAgeneral coun-cil ratified the details of the settlementagreement on Wednesday 24 March.

Club chairperson Rashied Cloete saysthe club ishappy tobebackatCapeDistrictand on the field.

“We are relieved because we wanted ourjuniors to play. The CDLFA wanted thesame,” he says.

“We are satisfied, happy and relievedthat it has come to an end. We are happythat we had a committee to speak to and

that we were able to put our case forward.”Bluebells sued the CDLFA in September

2011 after failing to win a tender to run thetearoom and cafe at William Herbert in2010, alleging that the tender process wasflawed.

After finding in Bluebells’ favour, theWynberg Magistrate’s Court also served awarrant of execution against CDFLA’sproperty in February and the club was sus-pended two days later.

Bluebells failed in their initial attemptsto have the suspension overturned andthen met with a CDLFA committee a weekafter the protest.

The LFA’s executive committee subse-

quently met with the delegation that en-gaged with Bluebells and the agreementwas voted by the Cape District generalcouncil.

Cloete says the club has instructed its at-torney to drop the case, as per the detailsof the agreement.

However, he refused to list what Blue-bells would receive as part of the agree-ment.

He says the agreement prohibits the clubfrom giving any specific details to the me-dia.

Winston Engledoe, president of CapeDistrict LFA, also refused to comment onthe matter.

Challenge to show off city landmarksLIAM MOSES

MORE than 4 000 walkers and runners ofevery ability level are expected to fill thestreets of Cape Town for the third annualJive Slave Route Challenge on Sunday.The event will again be hosted by Lion

of Africa Itheko Sport Athletic Club, oneof the largest running clubs in South Afri-ca.People’s Post is the print media sponsor

for the second year.TheChallenge features a halfmarathon,

10km funrun, 5km funrunand10kmwalk,over courses which take participants pastsome of Cape Town’s most historic sites.Donny Jurgens of the City of Cape

Town’s department of sport and recrea-tion, says they chose to partner with Ithe-ko because the race’s uniqueness.“The Jive Slave Route Challenge is not

an event in which you are likely to makeyour personal best. This is not a race forthe fast and the furious,” he says.“This is not to attract the top Ethiopians

to comeand run inour city. This is adiffer-ent kind of race. Our department is notabout personal bests; our department isabout celebrating life, celebrating culture,celebrating history and celebrating thefact that people from all walks of life andall shapes and sizes participate in a massrunning event.”The race will start in Darling Street, be-

tween the Grand Parade and City Hall, be-fore winding its way around the CityBowl.Some of the landmarks passed along the

way to the finish line include St Mark’sChurch and Aspeling Mosque in District

Six, the Hurling Swinging Pump in Gar-dens and the South Africa Jewish Muse-um and Parliament in Government Ave-nue.Runners will also pass through the Cas-

tle of Good Hope, for only the second timein history, just minutes after a miniaturecannon – replacing the start gun – sendsthem off.This year runners will also have anoth-

er reason to participate, as the Red CrossChildren’s Hospital Trust has been con-firmed as the official beneficiary.Sean Burton, marketing manager of

Quality Beverages, the producers of Jive,urges all participants to donate to theTrust.“The Trust is really close to us – as a

company, we have been supporting themfor years. We specifically target most ofour initiatives at the youth market,” saysBurton.“We haven’t confirmed an amount yet,

but we have also offered the Trust as anofficial beneficiary for runners to donate.We are also asking that all participants getinvolved by donating some funds. Therehas been talk of sponsoring rand-for-randvalue, but we haven’t really confirmedthat.”Anyone interested in entering can do so

on the first floor of City Hall on Friday 10May from 16:00 until 20:00, from 10:00 until17:00 on Saturday 11 May and from 05:30until 08:15 on race day.The halfmarathonwill start at 07:00 and

the final event, the 10km walk, will startat 08:15.V To view a video of last year’s Jive Slave RouteChallenge visit www.peoplespost.co.za.

Camps Bay holdout against rivalsWesterfordLIAM MOSES

CAMPS BAYHigh School managed tohold off a late fight-back from West-erford in a tight encounter on Satur-

day.Westerford outscored their hosts by

four tries to three, but three missed con-versions meant the Rondebosch schoolstill went down 25-23.Dean Cottle, Camps Bay’s head coach,

was happy with the victory, but believeshis side could have put in a better per-formance. “The match was a bit scrappyand our ball retention was not great, butthe team showed lots of guts and individ-ual brilliance,” says Cottle.“The boys also really wanted get back

at Westerford because they beat us lastyear.”Cottle’s side had the better of the open-

ing exchanges in the game and campedin the Westerford half for the first tenminuteswithout scoring. The hosts even-tually opened the scoring in the 11thminute, when inside centre RaaqibSiljeurs slotted a penalty.Westerford hit back almost immediate-

ly with a try from eighth-man Zain Allieand a conversion from flyhalf FareezDavids in the 14th minute.However, the lead lasted just three

minutes, until Siljeurs powered his wayover the try-line past several would-betacklers. Siljeurs missed the subsequentconversion, but succeeded with his next

attempt after centre partner MasisubleMasekuwana scoredCampsBay’s secondtry.Westerford refused to be outdone and

they again crossed in the 30th minute,when loosehead prop Logan Arendsefound space on the left wing.The scoring continued around 15 min-

utes into the second-half when Siljeursscored his second penalty. And the hostsstretched their lead again when flyhalfChad Cloete crossed for another touch-down, which Siljeurs converted.The balance of power then shifted and

Westerford fought back with two tries inthe final ten minutes. First inside centreLuke Cloete bundled his way over frominside the 22 and Allie scored his secondin a carbon copy of Cloete’s try.Cottle blamed the fight-back on a lapse

in concentration from his players.“They started thinking about the result

instead of concentrating on the game,” hesays. “But they managed to get it back inthe end.”Westerford will feel disappointed at

having lost the game, as they held theirown in every facet of play and outper-formed their hosts at the breakdown.Camps Bay will be looking to build on

this victory when they face Zwaanswyk(A) on Saturday 11 May, while Wester-ford will hope to improve their first timetackling and goal kicking before theirclash against Edgemead (A) on the sameday.
