THREE ANCHOR BAY

Kids walk through ‘stink’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Street people are creating a stink forThree Anchor Bay school pupils.

The sidewalk along Ellerton PrimarySchool is often a resting place for a group ofstreet people, says Community Police Fo-rum chairperson Heather Tager, as they beddown along the property wall in GlengariffRoad.

But far from a peaceful night’s sleep, theforum has received reports that pupils arebeing “intimidated” by those sleeping there.

“Everyone walking past there is affected,including joggers in the morning, peoplewanting to use the pavement and schoolchil-dren,” Tager says.

“They are using the area as an ablutionblock. Litter is strewn all over that area,which is a health hazard. Drugs have alsobeen found. If they are not woken up earlyin the morning they have often been foundstill sleeping at midday.”

Ellerton Primary principal Caroline Can-non says the school reeks of the smell ofurine most mornings and on occasions therehave been defecation inside the school prop-erty.

“It’s a health and safety concern,” shesays.

“The street people often loiter and beg andit can be scary for staff who have to leavelate at night.”

Many of the pupils arrive at school veryearly and the children are also often scared

when approached by the street people, Can-non says.

In addition, holes have been made in theschool’s wall for storing items, which theschool has been left to repair, and washedclothing is often hung over the school wall.

The litter left along the property oftenprompts neighbours to complain to theschool.

“The neighbours complain to us and itdoesn’t help to explain that we have nothingto do with it,” Cannon says.

She and other staff have been left to hosedown the area themselves after complaints.People’s Post visited the site, but was not

able to reach any of the street people for com-ment.

Cannon believes local businesses are pay-

ing the street people to work as informal carguards and is worried that their numbersmay swell, enticing criminals to hide amongthe street people.

On numerous occasions the forum’s field-worker and law enforcement officers havevisited the street people, offering them help,Tager says. However, this appears to havehad little impact.

“There is help at hand to get the homelessoff the street by either placing them into ashelter, attempting to reunite them withtheir families as well as other available pro-grammes, but most of them do not want anyassistance.

“It is often due to businesses and residentswho make it lucrative for people to remainin certain areas,” she says.

CapeTownboasts the second largest aggre-gation of white sharks in the world and

the largest aggregation on the doorstep of amajor city.Having completed ten years of shark re-

search, Shark Spotters recently released areport mapping trends in shark movementin False Bay over the last ten years.This season saw fewer sharks visiting the

waters than previous years, with 142 sight-ed. Over the last decade, almost 2000 sharkshave been spotted. “There is significant an-nual variation in the number of shark sight-ings andwhile we don’t yet fully understandthe drivers of shark distribution it is likelya set of environmental variables such as wa-ter temperature or biological variables suchas prey availability,” explains Shark Spot-ters research manager Alison Kock.

70 years oldThe average shark sighting lasts 17 min-

utes, with 77% of the sharks swimming inone direction as they pass through the area.The remaining 23% patrol the area, makingat least one circle.The research has identified over 440 by

photo identification. Over 130 have beentagged for scientific purposes.“It is only through long-term monitoring

that we can better understand the drivers ofoccurrence anddistribution of sharks,” saysKock.“White sharks can live up to 70 years of

age and have different prey, use differenthabitats and have different habits over theirlifetime, most notably from when they areborn and feed primarily on fish and other

sharks to when they start to consume ma-rinemammals. Furthermore, there are long-termenvironmental cycleswhichmay influ-ence distribution and habitat use,” she says.The shark exclusion net has been de-

ployed 240 times since the trial period beganinMarch 2013. Forty sharks have been sight-ed when the net was out of the water and an-other 39 when the net was in the water.On the whole, sharks remain more than

50 metres from the net. On two occasions

sharks have come within five metres of thenet. One shark swam towards the net andthen turned away sharply. The other swamalongside the net before veering away.White sharks are present in the bay all

year round, but in the winter months maleand female sharks tend to aggregate aroundSeal Island to prey on young Cape fur seals.In summer, female sharks typically aggre-gate inshore, preying on other sharks andfish.

False Bay is home to a large proportion ofthe Southern Africa white shark populationthat depend on the sea life here for food, ex-plains Koch.“Seal Island provides a stable source of

food for them. In summer months there isalso food such as schools of yellowtail, geel-bek, soupfin and smooth hound sharks. Alarge white shark needs to eat one seal pupor the equivalent every three days just tostay alive,” she explains.White sharks feed at the top of the food

chain on a variety of prey, ranging fromsquid, to fish and dolphins and even scav-enge on dead whale, says Kock.“They have a direct impact on prey abun-

dance and indirectly they impact prey be-haviour. For example, prey will spend a lotof time trying to avoid being eaten, and thecombination of these two effects means thatwhite sharks play a regulatory role in ourbay,” she says.

Healthy ecosystemThe presence of sharks, especially those at

the top of the food chain, is a sign that thereis enough food to support them, which sug-gests a relatively healthy ecosystem, Kocksays.She adds education is key to conserving

sharks and the ecosystem. “Educate yourfriends and family about sharks. One of thebiggest problems is fear and misconception,which are obstacles in getting people to careabout sharks. There are many species ofsharks and rays in Cape Town, especiallyFalse Bay. Some of them are commerciallyexploited, others are caught in recreationalcatch and release and others are importantfor eco-tourism. These are therefore all im-pacted by people on some level,” she says.

Woman arrested atquarry with drugsVisible policing in Green Pointled to an arrest and the confisca-tion of 2kg of drugs.The Green Point and Oranje-

Kloof City Improvement Dis-tricts (GP/OKCID) arranged for20 newly qualified law enforce-ment members from the City tobe deployed throughout GreenPoint and the Oranje-Kloof CIDarea, working alongside theGP/OKCID team as they wentabout their daily duties onThursday last week.This was initiated to boost

visible policing in the area andeducate the new recruits as tothe workings and activities thattypically take place in thesebustling environments.During this deployment stra-

tegy, themembers paid a visit to

the quarry on Strand Street. Afemale law enforcement officersearched a female suspect com-ing out of the toilets at the quar-ry on instruction from the GP/OKCID operations manager.She was arrested for carrying akilogram bag of tik and a kilo-gram bag of heroine, confirmedGP/OKCID security managerMarius Swanepoel.“This type of proactive crime

prevention is incredibly effec-tive, andmade possible becauseof the strong partnership be-tweenour teamand lawenforce-ment.“We plan to continue with

regular joint operations tomake our areas safer for resi-dents and businesses alike,” hesays.

MOUILLE POINT

Sums are child’splay by the seaNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Play time has just become inventive andeducational, as a new set of tactile play

equipment has been installed for the pub-lic’s use in Mouille Point.The play equipment will be rolled out

along the Sea Point Promenade. It is beingtested in Mouille Point to see if the mate-rials used to construct the equipment willwithstand extreme conditions associatedwith life next to the sea, will stimulate themarket to supply similar play equipmentwhich is of a higher standard and will testthe durability of the equipment in this high-use environment, says Belinda Walker,mayoral committee member for communi-ty services and special projects.The equipment cost approximately

R300 000, which includes the installation bya specialised contractor.Far from a regular jungle gym, the climb-

ing structure has an algebra panel, a talktube, a ship’s steering wheel, two slides, aclimbing net and a fireman’s pole.“The algebra panel is excellent for devel-

oping a child’s motor skills and makesmaths more fun, the talk tube allows youto talk to somebody on the other side of theplay structure, the ship’s steeringwheel en-courages roleplay and stimulates the chil-dren’s imagination and the two slides,climbing net and fireman’s pole develop co-ordination, skills and self-confidence,” ex-plains Walker.Further equipmentwill be installed at the

Milton Road play park on the Sea PointPromenade, the first section of a multimil-lion rand upgrade to the popular touriststretch.

A ship’s steering wheel, part of new equipment at the Mouille Point play park, encourages children’s imagination, as shown by VidaJanse van Rensberg.

Land claim halts buildingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Arestitution land claim is holding up the de-velopment of a problem property in Zonne-bloem.The property, next to Trafalgar High

School, has been home to a group of streetpeople for some time. However, litter anddumping have made the site an eyesore.The vacant plot has been flagged as a dan-

ger to the high school pupils after reports ofdrug sales on the site, which house over 30street people.School principal Nadeem Hendricks pre-

viously told People’s Post that there havebeen street people living on the site foryears, but new faces have seen refuse piling(“Site not on the curriculum”, 28 April). Pu-pils have also been caught buying drugsthere, he says.Cape Town Community Police Forum

chairperson Nicola Jowell says the organi-sation receives “numerous and continuous”complaints about the informal settlement.The plot is the source ofmuch rubbish and

grime in the area, Jowell says.Police intervention in the area has led to

the discovery of stolen property and arrestsof wanted suspects, Jowell says.“There are also allegations that drugs are

used as well as sold from this space,” shesays.Edward Oosthuizen, who has been living

on the property for twoyears, says theyhavechosen to live on the site because they do notdisturb anyone. He says the residents arenot criminals.Ward councillor Brett Herron says the

property was transferred to the City of CapeTown, which planned to develop housing onthe site. But a land claimon the property hasnow halted the City’s plans. No housing canbe developed until the land claim has beensettled, Herron emphasises.Vuyani Nkasayi, provincial spokesperson

of the department of rural development andland reform, confirms the land claim.“The property forms part of the District

Six redevelopment. The City and provincialgovernment have agreed to release the prop-erty for redevelopment,” he says.


CITY BOWL

Boom for the flatlife in the cityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

With an estimated 6000 residents in thecentral city alone, flat living in theCity

Bowl appears to be increasingly popular.This compared to the 750 residents found

in the central city a decade ago, accordingto a survey carried out by the Central CityImprovement District (CCID).

More families and residents are movingto live in the city by choice, unlike the stu-dents and transient housing that used totake up the bulk of city residence.

The regeneration of the city centre and itsevolutionover the last twodecadeshasbuilta solid foundation for a boom in living inflats, says Rashiq Fataar, founder and di-rector of Future Cape Town.

“The investment by both the public andprivate sector, along with key investmentsin transport, public spaces, safety and cul-tural opportunities have contributed to theeconomic case for the city centre,” he says.

Living close towork and schools, securityand convenience are the major factorsdrawingpeople to flat living in the city, saysJacques van Embden, co-founder of devel-opment company Blok.

“People are choosing more compacthomes in or near the city to cut downondai-ly travel time and to be closer to a wider ar-ray of lifestyle options on their doorstep.This and the City’s pro-densification strate-gies have certainly made regenerationmore favourable,” he says.

The three top reasons for living in the cen-tral city were to be close to work, enjoying

the “downtown lifestyle” and the diverseentertainment options available, the CCIDsurvey found.

The positive impact of densification inthe city can already be seen, says Van Emb-den.

“It fosters an environment where smallbusiness owners can get critical mass andthrive. It also impacts security as we havemore eyes on the same streets. There is alsoa level of creativity that starts to bloom aspeople take ownership of their city,” hesays.

A boom in flat occupation in most citiesresults in a more intensive use and appreci-ation of the public infrastructure and amen-ities, Fataar says.

“Other benefits including busier andmore active streets and spaces, which natu-rally promotes a greater sense of communi-ty and safety. For Cape Town, there is stillsome way to go before apartment living inthe centre is accessible enough to a widerange of people and some serious questionsare being asked of why little progress hasbeen made in exploring some more afforda-ble housing developments. Given CapeTown’s vast inequality, one would thinkthat greater inroads and will from all wouldhave catalysed action,” he says.

The main challenges are to ensure thatflats and housing in the city centre andbroader central city can accommodate vari-ous groups of people, such as young profes-sionals and families, Fataar says.

The CCID survey found 27% of respon-dentshad children.The sameamount of res-idents had pets.

A myriad of recreational activities orga-nised by the City will keep the winterblues away during the school holidays.

Pupils will have more than 1000 holidayprogrammes to choose from. They willrun daily from Monday 29 June to Friday17 July at the City’s libraries, communitycentres, sports fields and parks.

Indoor programmes include board-games, gymnastics, rope-skipping, kara-te, pool, poetry and drama, concerts, in-digenous games, cultural dances, fitnesstraining, talent shows and arts and crafts.

Outdoor programmes include five-a-side soccer, mini-netball, basketball,cricket, hockey, learn-to-swim pro-grammes, kayaking, canoeing, angling,BMX, excursions, big walks, fun runs,jumping castles, face-painting, trampo-lines, touch rugby andvarious recreation-al activities and family fun festivals.

Historical city springback to freeflowOne of Cape Town’s original main water

springs, the Stadsfontein Vault situatedin the Homestead Park in Oranjezicht, hasreceived a freshening investment ofR175 000 for its restoration and conserva-tion.The original spring, which dates back to

1686 and was covered with a vault in 1813,is still a water source for Capetonians to-day. It is one of Cape Town’s two perennialsprings and is also known as Main Spring.Following five months of restoration

work, the Stadsfontein Vault has been re-freshed to ensure that it remains a valuedhistorical site and water source for resi-dents, says Johan van der Merwe, mayoralcommittee member for energy, environ-mental and spatial planning.“To have been able to restore one of Cape

Town’s original water springs to full opera-

tion is an example of how we are continual-ly looking to conserve andmaintain sites ofhistorical importance. The fact that thisspring is still a water source for Capetoni-ans today makes this restoration projecteven more significant,” he says.The project to restore the vault, which in-

cluded addressing matters related to flood-ing and the stabilisation of thewall, was un-dertaken in terms of a Heritage WesternCape permit.“Through this restoration project, we

found that the blockage of the StadsfonteinVault was due to a water metering device.This restricted the flow downstream of theStadsfonteinVault, resulting in the floodingfrom beneath the vault. The device has nowbeen removed and we can confirm that theflooding has, subsequently, been alleviat-ed,” Van der Merwe says.

Stadsfontein Vault water spring in Oranjezicht, one of only two perennial springs in the city,has been renovated to the value of R175 000.

Girls can reach for the stars, tooNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Girls in communities acrossCape Town are learning skills

like soldering, as the Micro Enter-prise Development Organisation(Medo) rolls out a programme toencourage women to take up jobsinmaths, science and engineering.After partnering with big busi-

ness, Medo identified that there isa considerable shortage of techni-cal skills required to fulfil theneeds of businesses in this coun-try.

Not just boysScience, technology, engineer-

ing and mathematics careers – ofwhich there are scarce skills – rep-resent eight of the top 10 occupa-tions in demand in South Africa.However, the 2014 matric results

saw only 7.6% of pupils passingMaths with more than 60%, while5.5% managed the same in Physi-cal Science.This need gave rise to an ambi-

tious plan to pull more youth intothese underskilled industries.The plan focuses on teaching

schoolgirls technical skills. Theprogramme will see Medo launch-ing the first privately owned satel-lite in Africa, which the pupils willhave a part in sending to space.The ultimate aim is for these

youngwomen to construct the pay-load to be launched with the satel-lite early next year.A group of young women from

schools around Cape Town weretaught some of these skills last

week in a workshop. By the end ofthe day each participant had builtand soldered their own robot –from scratch – that can be con-trolled in movement, light andsound.Tamaryne Bimray, who attend-

ed theworkshop lastweek, says thenew skills empower girls in a fieldtraditionally associated with men.“The programme inspires girls

to create things that would usuallybe made by boys. We learnt to sold-er a circuit board, adding abattery,resistor and light,” she explains.Learning about engineering and

making things are skills thatshould be rolled out to all women,believes Maymoonah Stegmann,another participant.“More girls should learn this. It’s

not just boys that can do it,” shesays.

SatelliteThe programmewill run a series

of half-day workshops to introduceyoung women to electronics andthe basics of practical science, fol-lowed by a week-long camp duringthe school holidays during whichthey will design and test their sat-ellite experiments. Finally, pupilswill be offered extended school hol-iday internships with Medo to fi-nalise the designs and build thesatellite.“The intention of this pro-

gramme is not to be a once-off; itis to be the start of at least a decade-long drive to inspire young peopleto enter the science and technicalfields,” says Medo CEO Judi San-drock.

City pensioners get home helpAlmost 6 000 old people have benefited fromhome-based help provided by theCity in thefirst part of this year.Because of its success, the programme

will be renewed in the new financial year.The City’s social development depart-

ment established the programme to give ba-sic care to older persons and people withdisabilities in their homes, explains SuzetteLittle, mayoral committee member for so-cial development andearly childhooddevel-opment.“We recruited 125 home-based caregivers

through the expanded public works pro-gramme to provide a range of services toour vulnerable residents. They receivedtraining and then did community profiling,meeting with various organisations thatare active in their areas to introduce them-selves and explain what their purposewould be,” she says. This included clinics,the police, old-age homes and organisationsthat help old people.

They then did a door-to-door investiga-tion to identify older persons in need.The primary responsibilities of home-

based caregivers include community profil-ing and collection of data for areas, assess-ment of care needs, aid with reading, help-ing with mobility and walking, as well asproviding conversation and listening.Caregivers also helpwith the preparation

of meals, provide a break for family mem-bers and other caregivers, do light house-keeping and see to personal care.These services have been provided in

Athlone, Atlantis, Beacon Valley, BellvilleSouth, Bishop Lavis, Bonteheuwel, Gu-gulethu, Harare, Hanover Park, Lans-downe, Lentegeur, Manenberg, Masiphu-melele, Ocean View, Philippi, Rocklands,Tafelsig and Valhalla Park.“Our home-based caregivers have done

us proud, offering direct care and servicesto 5 557 older persons fromFebruary toMayalone,” Little says.

Is there nowhere sacred anymore?Churches, mosques, temples and graveyards were once

holy ground. They were places only the devout dared totread, and they were places that were treasured and re-vered.But no longer.Graveyards have become home to vagrants, with tomb-

stones torn apart to make a quick buck. They have be-come places to attack unsuspecting visitors to their fami-ly resting place.And places ofworship have not faredmuchbetter. They

are now kept locked and bolted, to prevent thieves takingoff with the few possessions within.Prayer times have been tarnished with the fear of petty

theft. The faithful dare not linger in case they aremuggedafter worship.And shockingly, last week in the United States, wor-

shippersweremurdered in a place thatwas once a sanctu-ary. So what is left for those seeking to be closer to theirGod, for those looking for fellowship and a sense of com-munity?You may not believe in the teachings of that church or

worship inside thatmosque, but these institutions are thepillars of our communities.These are the places that offer refuge to the lost, the

desperate and the abused. They are places that teach usright from wrong, tolerance and love, kindness and com-passion.Holiday programmes that keep our children off the

streets are often linked to these places of worship. Manyoffer skills development or life coaching.They are the places we go to celebrate weddings and

births and to mourn the passing of our loved ones.It should fall to each of us to preserve these holy places,

whether you are a believer or not, because to care forthem is to care for our communities.

True colours shining throughVery soon we will once again hear agentle tap on the door, be greeted with awarm smile or be amazed at the suddengreeting of “Good day, Sir/Madam”.Very soon our lamp posts will be

draped in different colours. We will hear

the blare of loud music and dancesparading our streets. The speeches sowell prepared and memorised will bedelivered in our community halls.Very soon the local election campaign

will start in all earnest.

It always amazes me to hear the samepromises and after five years see so fewresults. What is even more amazing isthe fact that we are bombarded withinsignificant outcomes, insignificantdetailed reports and future plans.What tops all this is the fact that the

people who do the canvassing (for free ormaybe a prospect of some “benefit”) arestill where they were five years ago.It’s time to seek and vote for the true

leader. The one who stands for truth andrighteousness, the one who is guided bytrue principles, the one who does notseek own gain, but seeks the One inwhom we will all gain.

PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPS,Parkwood

Brandon wins canoe route changeThe Western Cape Canoe

Union’s (WCCU) two-day K1canoe race, the Pink Lady

Drakenstein, held on the Berg Riv-er last weekend, was hosted thisyear by the Paarl Canoe Club un-der the leadershipof both chairper-son Eric Farringer and the PinkLady’s Rob Meihuizen.It was a well organised event

with some 150 paddlers takingpart.Notwithstanding the minimal

rainfall that the Western Cape hadreceived before the start of therace, the Berg River was runningvery low – so much so that theplanned first day of racing fromPaarl to Hermon (45km), waschanged to a route from GoudaBridge to Bridgehouse (30 km).The second planned day of pad-

dling also changed from a start onthe Berg River dam and end inPaarl (21 km) to a route from Paarlto Skooltjie near Wellington(23 km).The race was won by Peninsula

Canoe Club’s Brandon van derWalt.Given the success of this event,
