CRIME

Murder sparks angerMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Themurder of a foreignnational inWest-lake has not only riled up residents, buthas seen the community launcha scath-

ing attack on Kirstenhof police.During a public meeting held at the com-

munity hall last week, residents did not holdback as they voiced their concerns and frus-trations.Opening the meeting, Kirstenhof Police

Station commander Lieutenant-ColonelJune Cilliers explained officers wanted tomeet with residents following an incident aweek earlier. “Between 250 and 300 residentscame to the station because a man was mur-dered. The suspect has been arrested andwewant to hear your concerns,” she said.In an attempt to allay fears that foreignna-

tionals were being targeted in Westlake, po-lice gave a crime overview, dividing the sta-tistics into race categories. Officers statedthat while two of the latest murder victimswere foreign nationals, there was no trendindicating foreign nationals are at risk.In her address, Cilliers highlighted the

need for children to be kept safe.“I see small children late at night in West-

lake and I ask, where are the parents? Andwhen your children go missing, it is intoler-able that I must leave my children to findyours (sic).”The commander also raised the closing

times of spaza shops as a concern and saidthey were an easy target for robbers. She al-so made a plea for residents to join streetcommittees and help in the fight againstcrime.“We are going to have another meeting

and establish street committees.We all havea role to play and when something happensyou know who is responsible and you mustcome forward,” she said.The floor was opened to questions and

about 10 residents stood at the front of thepackedhall. Commenting on the recentmur-der, the first two residents said the suspectshould not be released and should not returnto Westlake. They also made a plea for resi-dents to show up and protest at the court ap-pearance.A third resident, a Malawian man who

identified himself only as Robert, saidgroups of men who congregate at spaza

shops were responsible for the crime.“The police know about them but just

drive past. If the police don’t want to dealwith themhand the power to us,” he said an-grily as residents cheered loudly.“Yes, yes,” women shouted in agreement.Pastor Thulani Maxi claimed police servi-

ces were biased and racist as black peoplewere treated differently to coloured people.He told of an incident where a police van

had parked in front of his home. When heasked the officer tomove so he could get intohis yard, he says the officer swore at him.“Your police must be professional. They

are public servants. They can’t behave like

that,” said Maxi, amid cheers from thecrowd. Continuing,Maxi put the question toCilliers: “You say you see children on thestreet late at night but you can’t see the she-beens selling liquor illegally?”In response, Cilliers said residents had

raised important concerns and police want-ed to know what they thought.“It doesn’t matter if they are negative. We

want to knowwhat you have to say.Wewanteveryone to be treated equally.”She highlighted a lack of police resources

as the station’s biggest challenge and saidshe had to “stretch the little” she had. “I alsothink the justice department must be at the

next meeting so they can hear your con-cerns. Everyone has a role to play. Thedrinking in the parks is a law enforcementissue, not a police one,” she said.Kirstenhof Community Police Forum

(CPF) chairperson Geoff Fox asked thosewho raised concerns to write down theircontact details. He explained the issueswould be taken up by the CPF in meetingswith police. He echoed Cilliers’ sentimentsabout the lack of resources.The meeting concluded with residents

agreeing to volunteer for street committees.V What are your views? Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

EMPLOYMENT

Fight for right to workASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Awoman with a physical disability hasnot given up her own fight to ensurepeople living with disabilities have a

right to decent employment.Undere Deglon, CEO of Disability Work-

shop Development Enterprise (DWDE),works closely with a number of companiesin the private sector that are committed toemploying people with disabilities.

The Institute for Promotion of DisabledManpower, in partnership with WesternCape Network on Disability, held a summitat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Friday 13 February.

Sinawe Pezi, deputy CEO of DWDE, ex-plained through education, empowermentand networking opportunities between em-ployers and people with disabilities, the or-ganisation’s Employment Support Servicesmakes a significant contribution towardsenriching lives, building an inclusive socie-ty and inspiring young people on their waytowards finding opportunities for work.

The DWDE launched the EmploymentSupport Services in 2013 across South Afri-ca with an associated target employment of1200 people with disabilities in the open la-bour market.

Pezi says the 2% employment campaignis a partnership between DWDE, the JobsFund, administered by the DevelopmentBank of Southern Africa and the United Na-tions Special Rapporteur on Disability.

“We seek to create awareness among em-ployers about the employability of peoplewith disabilities and to give people with dis-abilities exposure to employment opportu-nities and guide them in the right careerchoices,” she says.

During the Disability Employment Sum-mit, the organisation presented an over-view of an employment creation campaign.

It was revealed at the summit that the pri-vate sector is well on its way to meeting the2% quota set out by government, whilesome are exceeding expectation.

Pezi says many South Africans with disa-bilities desperately require an increase injob creation initiatives to overcome the un-

employment problem.“Unemployment is the root cause of pov-

erty and inequality, and can be a contribut-ing factor to substance abuse, increased lev-els of crime and social exclusion,” she says.

Pezi says according to Statistics South Af-rica Census 2011, there are just over two mil-lion (7.54%) people with disabilities, exclud-ing certain groups and children youngerthan five, compared to people without disa-bilities which total just over 35 million(92.46%). “On the other hand, the Commis-sion for Employment Equity Annual Report2013/2014, reporting on employment equityprogress among designated employers, not-ed after 15 years there are only about 50 000(0.9%) people with disabilities in employ-ment,” she says.

This is miles away from the target of 2%employment of persons with disabilities setby the government, Pezi explains.

“The Employment Equity Act in SouthAfrica was intended to eliminate discrimi-nation in employment by developing a la-bour force that is broadly representative ofthe South African population,” she says.

However, Pezi says, many unemployedSouth Africans with disabilities remaincondemned to a life of dependence on disa-bility grants. “We would like to partner withthe private sector and government institu-tions to assist them with achieving their 2%quota,” she urges.

Pezi adds that South Africa will have adisability census in 2015 which will hopeful-ly show an accurate profile and prevalenceof all disability types in South Africa.

“Both internationally and locally, thereare difficulties in obtaining accurate disa-bility statistics,” she says.

UCT

Transformation painsASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A request for a special meeting has beencalled by UCT vice-chancellor to dis-cuss transformation issues and plans

at the university. The dispute surroundingthe statue of Cecil John Rhodes will be onthe agenda.

This comes after about 100 UCT studentsjoined in a protest march to the university’sBremner Building last week to demand thatthe Rhodes statue be removed.

The Bremner Building houses the univer-sity’s council offices.

UCT vice-chancellor Max Price had previ-ously stated that the Rhodes statue is “in-deed a symbol of UCT’s colonial past”.

“Many have noted that as it currentlystands, the statue of Rhodes is unmediatedby any critical commentary or historicalcontextualising. There is nothing to suggestto any passerby how the university situatesitself in relation to Rhodes’ actions and theirimpact. At the very least, we need to engagewith that,” he says.

However, Price says the protest of twoweeks ago has resulted in a massive out-pouring of anger and frustration, which is“related to experiences of institutional ra-cism which is aggravated by students’ per-ceptions that they are not being heard, orthat their demands are not achieving the re-sponse they seek.”

Price said there are also similar frustra-tions experienced by a number of staff.

“There have also been many voices criti-cal of both the mode of the student protest,and the view that the statue should be re-moved.

“Given this recent escalation of debate

and protest, I think it appropriate to replaceour original programme with a more accel-eratedprocess to facilitate amore rapiddeci-sion about the statue,” he said.

During the protest, UCT student ChumaniMaxwele had flung human excrements atthe statue in protest at the lack of transfor-mation.

This protest action occurred on Monday9 March. Maxwele says the “poo protest”was not them trying to prove anything, butto protest against the statue.

“UCT by its nature promotes a culture ofindividualism and elitism and it wants us tosee other people as people and to be individu-al and this is why we are expressing our-selves.”

UCT’s Professor Sandra Klopper sayswhile they respect the right of their studentsto protest and, in so doing, draw attentionto the complex issues that confront all of usat UCT and in society at large, this is not alicence to engage in actions that in theirview are reprehensible.

She said the use of excrement as a formof protest is unacceptable, and UCT con-demns such action.

“UCT has procedures in place that allowstudents to protest. It is regrettable that, inthis instance, the protesters did not followthe established procedures,” she says.

But last week students continued theircampaign to have the statue removed andmarched to the Bremner Building to deliveramemorandumdemanding adate be provid-ed to them as to when the “statue will fall”.

Maxwele says calling for the removal ofthe statue is one part of their campaign.

“There is a notion of racism in the institu-tion – we want that to really go, that alongwith the Smuts and Jameson Hall. We want

these names to be changed as well,” hesays.He is calling on students and all inter-ested to rally together to find something totake out all the “eurocentric symbolism”.

“Lets find something that symbolises usas students and individuals – somethingthat we can associate with,” he says.

Maxwele says there is an internationaluniversity as well as Rhodes Universitysupporting their initiative and “this showsthat they are on the right track”.

“We have been dancing around the ques-tion of race and as students we have de-fined our destiny andmission andwewantto fulfil it and not detract from it,” he says.

Former UCT student Benjamin Wilsonbelieves “transformation in South Africais too slow”. “We fought for democracy andhere we have students fighting to changeagain. I support their cause and hope thenecessary steps are taken to address the is-sue,” he says.

Student Fatima Docrat says anythingthat stands for oppression should be re-moved. “I think if this is what people feelso strongly about then it is only fair thattheir voices be heard,” she says.

However, Price says only the universitycouncil can take the decision to move theRhodes statue. It would have to seek ap-proval from Heritage Western Cape.

Price shared the following proposalswith the campus community as part ofUCT’s plans for addressing various trans-formation issues in 2015. “We have initiat-ed a process to review statues, buildingnames and other symbols that affect the in-stitutional climate of UCT, and how theseaffect the sense of inclusiveness or aliena-tion felt by staff and students,” he says.

One option is to leave the statue as it is,

but to place a plaque on its base that acknowl-edges themany injustices of colonial conquestenacted under Rhodes’ watch.

Price says thismight be accompanied by an-other artwork to be located alongside Rhodes,to “speak back” by way of alternative valuesand convictions.

However, it is his view that the particularlocation and setting of theRhodes statue is theproblem and it cannot be addressed by contex-tualising the statue or installing alternativeicons. Price says it is because the “broodingpresence of Cecil John Rhodes is located inpride of place, at the focal point of the campus,that it acquires the connotations of founder,hero, patron, role model, and embodiment ofUCT’s heritage”.

“I do not think the statue should be de-stroyed or hidden away. I just think it shouldnot be there – it should be moved. This willnot compromise our ability to record and de-bate the role Rhodes played in the city’s andcontinent’s history. And itwill not change ouracknowledgment that UCT acquired its sitefrom the Rhodes estate, and the positive con-tribution that it has made to our institutionand its students,” he says.

Dog attackASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A woman and her two dogs have beenleft scarred after they were attackedby another dog in Plumstead.

And now she is calling on the owner ofthe dog to take responsibility for his pet’sactions.

The incident occurred on Friday 6Marchabout 11:30 in Lympleigh Park.

The owner of the dogs, a mixed poodleand a dachshund, was in the park makingtheir way around the track as they usuallydo during their afternoon walks.

Thewoman claims a dog, a boerboel froma property directly across the street, thencame running towards them.

According to the woman, the dog ran outof the yard when the gate of the propertyopened.

“It happened so fast and before I knew itthe dog had my small poodle at the throat,”she says.

She jumped inbetween the boerboel andher dog and pulled the boerboel away andin the process shewas bitten onher fingers.

“The adrenalin was rushing through mybody and I did not feel a thing. The onlything on mymind was to protect my dogs,”she says.

As she was crouched on the ground pro-tecting her one dog, the sausage dog cameback from where it was trying to hide andgot bitten as well.

The woman and her dogs struggled for acouple of minutes before they were able toescape to a resident’s house opposite thepark.

“The resident helped me get the dogs ina safe place and I ran home to get my carto take them to the vet. The vet treated theirwounds and I was also given somethingfor my bites. We are healing well,” shesays.

The woman then made contact with theowner of the boerboel who in return apolo-gised and said without a doubt that hewould take care of her medical expenses.

The owner said hewas unaware of the in-cident until someone in his street broughtit to his attention.

Neither dog owners wanted to be named.“I was informed that the woman and her

dogs were attacked by my dog and immedi-ately wanted to make contact with herwhen I found out about it,” he says.

He wanted to know how this had hap-pened and turned to his video footagewhich monitors his property, but faces thestreet as well where the attack took place.

“I noticed that when I left my house thegate closed behind me as I waited beforedriving off,” he says.

“However, a couple of seconds after I hadleft the gate opened I could seemydog leavethe property and go towards the park.”

Thewoman says the owner admitted thatthe gate openedby itself due to an electrical

fault giving his dog the opportunity to es-cape from the property.

“I am truly sorry for what had happenedand have made an effort to ensure that mydogs are not anywhere near the electricalgate,” he says.

He says he is glad that he and the womancould make amends and have put the inci-dent behind them.

JP Smith, mayco member for Safety andSecurity, said the location where the inci-dent occurred will be added to the AnimalControl Unit’s list of hotspots in terms ofcontraventions of the Animal Bylaw.

“Officers will monitor the area and con-duct proactive enforcement in a bid to holddog owners accountable,” Smith said.

Asked what the consequences would befor the owners of pets found to have at-tacked other dogs, Smith said an autho-rised officer would compile all of the evi-dentiary material in a docket to be submit-ted to the City’s Legal Services Departmentto enable the dog’s owner to be summonedto the municipal court.

Alternatively, the officer may issue awritten notice to appear in court withan Admission of Guilt fine (presentlyR2000) along with the impoundment of thedog.

“The docket would also contain the sei-zure and impoundment notice, admissiondocument if the dog was impounded, andthe officer’s affidavit. An authorised officeris empowered to seize and impound dog/sin terms of theAnimalBylaw2010 if certainprovisions of the bylaw are contravened,”Smith said.

The dogs are kept at the City’s pound inAtlantis or at an animal welfare organisa-tion such as the SPCA.

“A dog may not be released to its ownerif the release will result in a contraventionof the relevant sections of the Animal By-law,” he said.

Smith said the impounded dog may beput down or sold after a period of 10 daysif the dog has not been released.

In addition, a dog may be put down if ithas been seized because it is suffering frommange or any infections or contagious dis-ease or to be badly injured, or if it is foundby the authorised official to be ferocious,vicious or dangerous.

“The owner may also make representa-tions in respect of the impounded dog/swhich will be considered along with thedocket to arrive at an appropriate outcomewith regard to the seized dog/s,” Smithsaid.

Smith adds that residents should be ex-tremely cautious around dogs runningaround unsupervised and contact the Ani-mal Control Unit of Law Enforcement bycalling 107 or 021 480 7700.V What do you think needs to be done to ensurepeople are safe when walking their dogs in publicspaces?

@monique_duval

A dangerous plan by a Wynberg domes-tic worker to ride into the sunset withher lover has landed her behind bars.

This follows a fake report to Wynberg po-lice about a house robbery at her employ-er’s home in Harpford Close. According tothe police report, the woman called the sta-tion to report a robbery.

She told officers four unknown men anda woman entered the home and violentlygagged her. The 40-year-old domestic work-er said the robbers ransacked the houseand stole various items including the homeowner’s Mercedes Benz.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Sil-vino Davids says detectives took the wom-an’s statement but after glaring inconsist-encies in her story, officers decided tocross-question her.

“She broke down and told detectives thewhole story. She and her boyfriend wantedto get married and devised this plan togeth-er. They were going to steal all this stuff,sell it and move up country where theywould get married,” he explains.

The woman’s confession resulted in herarrest for defeating the ends of justice. Sheappeared in the Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt on Monday 16 March and was deniedbail.

In a separate case, a 51-year-old Athloneman’s plan to enjoy a weekend of partyingbefore he tied the knot saw him spend timebehind bars.

According to the police report the manwas reported missing by concerned rela-tives after failing to return home for sever-al days. While his family searched for him,he visited Wynberg Police Station to reportthat he was hijacked.

The man told officers he was hijackednear the magistrate’s court on Friday 12March. Questioned about the incident theman revealed he was not hijacked and in-stead wanted to spend a weekend in Wel-lington before getting married. He was ar-rested and appeared in court last weekwhere he was released on bail.

Davids says officers have had their fairshare of fake cases and warns they will notplay around with anyone found to be lyingabout a crime.

He explains detectives spend severalhours and resources investigating eachcase and do not have time to run after falseleads and false cases.

“Lying about a crime is a serious crimeand we are not playing games. If we catchyou lying to us and reporting fake cases, wewill charge you with defeating the ends ofjustice. These charges are serious and willstick,” he warns.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post” SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

New digs a utopia for studentsASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

After months of research on what exact-ly students want when it comes to ac-commodation, two brothers planned

and designed a unique premium student ac-commodation in the heart of Wynberg.My Domain Student Living, established

by the Lanfranchi brothers Angelo and Gi-ancarlo, who made it their mission to pro-vide studentswith easy and enjoyable livingspace.The student digs are on the former site of

an art décor office block in Lower ChurchStreet, literally metres away from the localinterchange,MainRoad and a couple of kilo-metres from their respective place of study.Angelo, My Domain portfolio manager,

says they understand their residents’ needsbetter than anyone else and offer affordableliving in bespoke designed studios, 24-hourmanned concierge security, a free shuttleservice, free Wi-Fi, an on-site gym and laun-dry, secure underground parking, a coolcommunal social space and more.Construction on the premises started last

year in July and with only two more floorsto complete, Lanfranchi has hopes that therooms will be filled.“We have a lot of interest from students

and parents all around the province andeven abroad.Wewant themessage to spreadand hopefully see the vacant rooms occu-pied,” he says.He says the building was previously va-

cant, but occupied by vagrants and thatthere was a lot of criminal activity in thebuilding.“The building was stripped of infrastruc-

ture and we decided that we had to do some-thing to change things around,” he says.Angelo says although he is in the property

business this was a different challenge as henow has to step up and be part of maintain-ing and overseeing construction.“We care about our residents and want to

make it a home-away-from-home environ-ment, where management has an open doorpolicy and our trained staff will know resi-dents by their first name,” he says.My Domain also offers transport for stu-

dents who do not have their own convey-ance.“We wanted to make it as convenient as

possible for students who do not have theirown vehicles, bicycles or scooters. About 40students have vehicles and transport is al-ways an issue,” he says.Angelo says they are in the perfect loca-

tion as students have public transport attheir doorstep.“I think students enjoy living in close

proximity to public transport as well asshopping malls as it takes away the stressof having to be concerned about how to getto and from university,” he says.He adds that keeping their cars safe is one

of My Domain’s priorities.At the student accommodation there is se-

cure underground parking.“And for those who travel heavy or like

to change wardrobes every season, we alsohave secure, lockable storerooms with flexi-ble rental option,” he says.Angelo assures parents that My Domain

has an on-site buildingmanager and trainedstaff who will deal with the day-to-day needsof the residents.“In addition we also have an on-site care-

taker available for after-hour emergencies.We aim to provide a safe and secure commu-nity environment for all our residents,” hesays.Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette says

she is excited about this development asmany students struggle to find accommoda-tionwhen they enrol at tertiary institutions.“They are located in the perfect spot and

withMyCiTi on itsway toWynberg theywillbenefit from living in this area as they willhave easy access to safe and reliable trans-port in addition to the transport provided tothem by My Domain,” she says.

MYCITI

Break it downASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The proposed demolition of a proper-ty in Claremont will go ahead tomake way for the MyCiTi Phase 2A

project.This was revealed at the Protea Sub-

council 20 meeting last week.In the subcouncil report it states that

the propertywas leased for business pur-poses, but the lessee was in breach ofnon-payment and sub-letting the proper-ty to three businesses.The property, which is owned by the

City of Cape Town, was illegally sub-di-vided by the lessee into three sectionsand let out to businesses such as Cabs onCall, Just Junk and Claremont Auto, ac-cording to the report.Ward councillor Matthew Kemp-

thornewelcomed the demolition and rec-ommended that the person the propertywas leased to be blacklisted in an effortto prevent him from leasing City proper-ty in future.Bewin September, a heritage profes-

sional, stated in the subcouncil reportthat the property, as well as other prop-erties making up the triangle borderingImam Haron, Chicester and Markhamroads were subject to the forced remov-als of the 1960s.September said “the current state of

the building on site was built after theentire block was cleared and does nothave any heritage significance in termsof its architecture and aesthetics”.He said the site does, however, “have

high social significance and he is of theopinion that further studies were re-quired to ascertain the heritage value”.September further said theCity’sHeri-

tage Resources Section “has an opportu-nitywith regard to initiating a social his-tory project, some form of memorial oreven interpretive display on site to in-form the public of the forced removals

that took place along the LansdowneRoad corridor”.It is recommended that this project be

included and workshopped in the devel-opment application and incorporated inthe new design.The subcouncil report further states

that it came to light that the property isrequired for the MyCiTi Phase 2Aproject, which commences this year andthat it iswhenany further attempt to reg-ularise the unlawful occupation ceased.TheCity servednotices to vacate on all

three business in February 2014, allow-ing the business owners six months tovacate and relocate their businesses.The notice expired on 31 August 2014.According to the subcouncil report,

two of the three occupants have since va-cated the property within the given timeperiod and security had been deployed tosecure the property at a cost of R20 000a month.However, a third occupant was grant-

ed a further extensionuntil 30November2014 for more time to relocate his com-mercial business.The subcouncil report further states

that “even though the Citymore than ac-commodated the third occupant, he re-mained on the property unlawfully”.Bewin said the City’s Environmental

and Heritage Branch support the totaldemolition of the property in Claremont.The property in question is expected

to be demolished by end of May as soonas a contractor has been appointed.A further two properties will also be

demolished along with the Claremontproperty.One of the properties proposed for

demolition is that of a dilapidated build-ing situated on erf 71783 in LympleighRoad, Plumstead.The third property proposed for demo-

lition, said to also be dilapidated, is situ-ated on erf 700868 at Waterbury Road, al-so in Plumstead.

Lodge lives onASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The announcement that the Sunny-side Lodge in Plumstead has earneda reprieve has been met with ela-

tion and relief.This news follows weeks of specula-

tion that the home for the aged would beclosed due to financial constraints.Twoweeks ago families of elderly resi-

dents at the lodge were informed of theclosure. Shocked by thenews, one familyscrambled to get their elderly mother in-to their home.A woman, who asked not to be identi-

fied, said she was concerned not only forhermother, but formanyof theother res-idents.“I am fortunate to be able to takemy mother into my home, but my con-cern was that many of the people wholive there may not have somewhere togo,” she says.She says they received a notice on Fri-

day 27 February that the residents mustmove out by the end of April.“I was hoping that things would

change and the lodge would stay openonce they found a solution and I am gladit has,” she says.Leo van Buren, a board member, says

the lodge will remain open through thepromise of funding to assist withmonth-ly shortfalls for six months.Van Buren says for a number of years

themanagement of Sunnyside has foundit financially challenging to maintain ahigh level of service to its elderly resi-dents.“Nevertheless, Sunnyside gained a

good reputation in the eldercare fieldand through its dedicated staff met a va-

riety of needs to the satisfaction of manyresidents and their families,” he says.Van Buren says in the past Sunnyside

experienced a steady inflow of fundingfrom various sources and saw good re-sults from their own fundraising efforts.However, he says, times have changed

as many sources have dried up, leavingSunnyside to increasingly face hardshipin keeping its doors open to the elderly.“Sunnyside is not the only care facility

facing this predicament as rising costshave far outstripped the ability of manyelderly to afford even the most basic ofservices resulting in shortfalls that haveto be augmented from other sources,” hesays.Van Buren adds that there has been a

most encouraging response from resi-dents, families and other interested par-ties resulting in a revived interest in theaffairs of Sunnyside andadeterminationto seek a long-term solution to the chal-lenges which still face the SunnysideLodge.“The management board is most ap-

preciative of this interest andplans to in-corporate this into its membership andfundraising efforts,” he says.Van Buren explains that the mission

and vision of Sunnyside to care for theelderly has been carried out for morethan 50 years and that “there is a sinceredesire to maintain this”.However, he adds that the challenges

facing Sunnyside are not to be underesti-mated and any support that can be givenby the society will be greatly appreciat-ed.V Anyone who wishes to assist or requires moreinformation can contact Sister Lorraine Howsonat Sunnyside Lodge on 021 797 0792.

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post MyCiTi: more sides of the coin

The spat between DA mayco memberBrett Herron and the National Councilof Provinces (NCOP) is proof of thedisintegration of service delivery in ourcity and province (“MyCiTi marred bymudslinging”, People’s Post, 10 March).

The City’s plan to build a new high-way instead of using existing roads forthe new MyCiTi bus route has met withsome serious opposition from irateresidents and ratepayers.

Despite Herron referring to the plansas “still being in the conceptual stage”,the City bulldozed three houses inDecember 2014 without obtaining theapproval of the full council first.

When the ANC tried to raise theirobjections, they were locked out of thefirst council meeting in January.

As the NCOP was exercising theirconstitutional mandate, it follows that

they outranked Herron politically on theday of their visit. Herron was a guest ofthe NCOP and they were exercisingtheir oversight role which is what theDA does in national parliament.

Herron’s concern that the NCOP“chose to abuse this visit for politicalpurposes” is delusional as his own DAcolleague, MP Thandi Mpambo-Sibhuk-wana was part of the NCOP delegation.He still needs to clarify whether heexcluded the DA MP during his belliger-ent attack on the NCOP or not.

Herron’s arrogant demeanour isevident given that he has even failed toappear before the provincial portfoliocommittee on transport despite beinginstructed to do so by his own DA MPLcolleague, advocate Lennit Max.

Herron’s backing of mayor Patricia deLille to stand against Max in the

forthcoming DA provincial leadershipelections could be the reason whyratepayers now find themselves caughtup in an internal party squabble.

Also, if the City’s reason for evictionis the averred arrears of tenants, thenthey must evict and bulldoze the homesof thousands of other tenants in the Citywho are in arrears with their rates andrentals. The City has not proven beyondreasonable doubt that the alternativeroutes are not viable and perhaps it isnow time for national government tointervene and suspend funding of theR4.1bn project until a full judicialinvestigation is launched into why alower organ of State appears to beoperating outside of its constitutionalmandate.

COLIN ARENDSE,Wynberg

NCOPmeeting:Herron giveshis response

Brett Herron is the last person to accuseNCOP members of having acted in badfaith. He must learn from them thatpublic participation does not mean onlylistening to officials.

The first time the affected residentslearned they must vacate in favour ofthe MyCiTi route was when theyreceived notice to vacate the houses.That is not public participation.

He read in a full council meeting inJanuary in the presence of some ofthem, information of money owed to theCity by those tenants, but he did not saysome of them made arrangement to payoff their arrears.

He accused the ANC of supportingpeople who do not want to pay theirrent.

He said in a portfolio meeting on thesame day of the NCOP visit that theroute has been decided upon and isgoing ahead irrespective of the outcomeof the public participation.

I will also keep on reminding himthat he confirmed in a workshop inDecember last year that there is analternate route but some people had towalk far to get the bus.

In February he accepted an invitation

to the Standing Committee on Transportin the Provincial Legislature to accountfor the mess in Plumstead. Guess what:he chickened out. Or maybe he wasadvised not to take Lennit Max serious-ly. We all know they are in differentcamps.

He keeps on saying that he is morethan prepared to meet the residents butran away from a very good opportunityto clarify any confusion he thoughtthere was in the presence of the NCOPmembers. Maybe he must ask themember of his party who was part ofthe NCOP delegation how she feelsabout the matter. It was clear to me thatday that she understands her responsi-bility as a public representative.

As Tony Ehrenreich said, Herronmust engage with the residents and stoprunning away from reality.

He is even undermining the fact thatthere might be land claims on a sectionof that land they plan on using for thatroute.

The ANC will continue to play ouroversight role and support residentswhose rights are been undermined bythe DA administration.

During the process of arranging theoversight visit, the NCOP requested to bebriefed on Phase 2 of the MyCiTi project.Given the scale of this project and themassive benefit to about 1.4 millionresidents living in 35 communities, thisrequest was not surprising.

We arranged with the NCOP that wewould drive them along the proposedroute from Khayelitsha to Wynberg andbrief them on aspects of this projectalong the way. Shortly before departingKhayelitsha, I was informed the membersno longer wanted that briefing butinstead wanted to travel directly toPlumstead. This was contrary to ourarrangement.

On the way to Wynberg, I stopped theconvoy of vehicles at Nolungile station inKhayelitsha where I attempted to brief

To page 11

Poverty strickenand living inan informal settlement,thousands of shackdwellers are looking for a wayto raise their children in better conditions.

Topping the priority list is a home built with brickswhich does not flood every winter.

Electricity without the dangers of an illegal connectionis a close second.

Add to that clean running water which does not haveto be carried in a bucket from a tap several meters away.

But often, the City of Cape Town’s alternatives givento informal settlement dwellers come at far too high aprice – a move from Maitland to Mfuleni or from the CapeTown CBD to Strandfontein.

Such moves will make it near impossible for these low-income groups to keep their jobs or visit their families.

And when informal settlement dwellers raise these is-sues, they are often met with the immovable response:“Take it or leave it.”

But the City is more than capable of bending over back-wards for those they feel deserve it.

Daily council makes concessions to big developers, al-lowing them to build too close to the road or neighbouringboundary walls.

These concessions see buildings springing up too highon the mountain or at the expense of heritage fabric.

The recipients of such concessions are often corpora-tions worth millions, who give little back.

Are they really the ones council should be giving con-cessions to? Where is the pro-poor planning to comple-ment the City’s claims to pro-poor spending?

Weneedholistic solutions that cover all sectors of socie-ty, effective changes that reduce the incomegapandhous-ing proposals that go hand-in-hand with a sense of digni-ty.

If council wants to give a developer a concession, let’ssee both of them hold out a helping hand first.

themembers of theNCOP on themassiveMyCiTi station proposed for this area andhow it will integrate with Nolungile sta-tion. The NCOP members did not evenbother to get out of their vehicle.I stand bymy observation that the NCOP

has acted in bad faith. Good faith requiressincere and honest intentions. At no stagedid the NCOP indicate they intended call-ing a public meeting in Plumstead. If theNCOP was genuinely pursuing oversightand seeking to involve citizens in parlia-mentary processes, as they claim, why didthey withhold these details? This was notthe NCOP conducting public engagementor oversight and I have no intention of par-ticipating in the ANC’s attempt to engineerconflict. The ANC is abusing residents forpolitical purposes and must not expect meto be party to it.These two letters confirm that the ANC

will try every trick in thebook to jeopardisePhase 2. In fact, the ANC finds itself in apredicament: they don’t have anything tooffervotersduringnextyear’s local govern-ment elections and they are using thisproject in the hope it will give them somemomentum going forward.The ANC hates the fact that the MyCiTi

service is supported wherever it is rolledout: from Dunoon to Atlantis, Imizamo Ye-thu and Hangberg to Mitchell’s Plain andKhayelitsha. It makes sense that they willdo everything in their power to discreditand undermine theMyCiTi service, as wellas any future MyCiTi projects. In doing so,they can undermine this administration’smost visible track record of service deliv-ery to the residents of Cape Town.I have repeatedly indicated I am willing

tomeet with residents living in City-ownedsuburbanhouses in theSouthRoad road re-servewhose leases have been terminated toimplement the planned road. I will honourthis undertaking, but in the appropriate fo-rum.I indicated my willingness to appear be-

fore the provincial legislature’s StandingCommittee for Transport andPublicWorkson 10 March, but this meeting has beenpostponed at their insistence.Brett Herron

. It is imperative that the City of CapeTown comes to terms with the fact thatthere is a solution to theMyCiTi bus dilem-ma in South Road. If they let that busthrough Naruna Estate, there will be nomore challenges. The bus can link up viaChurchill Road toWynberg; fromKhayelit-sha down Klip Road, Grassy Park into Vic-toria Road, then down Casino Road and in-to Churchill Road. How is this bus going togo under Wittebome bridge which is al-ready congested? We need transport, in-stead of going to the M5 for a taxi that isnot safe. The bus will also pass all theschools in the neighbourhood. – Kitty

. The MyCiTi plan must go ahead. Peo-plewere givenadequatenotice.With the in-crease in traffic and population, the cur-rent road and transport systems are notcoping. Apartheid has nothing to do withit. – CJ, Plumstead

. It is heartless to uproot residents stay-ing in SouthRoad and the surrounding are-as.What if theywere your parents and theydidn’t have a place to go? Yes, it is councilproperty, but you had to inform themwhenyou first let them to stay there that thehouses are not permanent residences.

. The National Council of Provinces hasno right to be there. Not their job. Thesehouses belong to the City and have beenearmarked to be demolished long ago.

. If the MyCiti route is going ahead whyare they wasting money on fixing the pave-ments in Waterbury Road?

General. I prefer a three-way stop at the Bower

and Constantia Main road intersection. Nomore traffic lights, please. – Carolyn

. The Constantia Main/Bower road in-tersection should be a three-way stop.Cheapest and most effective. – Noeline

. After a 20-year absence memories ofmy youth were shattered when visitingWynberg. If these CCTV cameras are theanswer to revitalising the area then the au-thorities have my full support.

Water shortageCape Town’s fresh water supply is under

major threat and according to the De-partment of Water and Sanitation most

analysts predict SouthAfrica’swater demandwill outstrip its supply by 2025.

Already the demand for water has overtak-en supply in 60%of SouthAfrica’swaterman-agement systems.

However, according to water scientists,changing our everyday behaviour can help toalleviate the pressure put on our reserves dueto climate change, pollution and outdated in-frastructure.

DuringNationalWaterWeek,Monday 16 toSunday 22 March, the Watershed Festivalaimed to restore the public’s appreciation ofclean and accessible drinking water, remind-ing them of its worth, scarcity and the ab-sence of a substitute.

The festival saw free educational eventsheld across the city, including an outdoorscreening of two award-winning documenta-ry feature filmsdepictingwater inall its beau-

ty at Green Point Urban Park.The Watershed Festival looks to create in-

creasedawareness of theCapeandSouthAfri-ca’s water crisis. With dams currently at 69%capacity, all it will take to literally run onempty is a few consecutive winters with lessthan expected rainfall thanks to climatechange.

And 40%of ourwastewater treatment facil-ities are in a critical state and in need of anupgrade, having outlived their 30-year lifes-pan by a decade or so.

South Africa loses 37% of clean, drinkablewater through leaking pipes and drippingtaps every year, while increasing pollutiondue to rapidly expandingurbanareas and ille-gal dumping add to the crisis.V Win! Win! Win! Five readers stand a chance to wina Woolworth’s hamper of WLAB washing

As part ofthe Water-shed Festival,free educa-tional events,such asdocumentaryscreenings,took placeacross thecity.

Despite the chilly air, the event offered Jerome Cornelius and Wendyl Martin insight into thedilemma over water.

Families were treated to documentaries depicting the beauty of water.

A teacher and a plumber from the South-ern Suburbs are making waves on theFlying Fish Beach Volleyball Series.

Antonio Rossouw (33) from Elfindale andDean Layters (22) from Ocean View, haveformed a beach volleyball partnership that

is taking on the big guns in the national Fly-ing Fish Beach Volleyball Series.

The second tournament in the series tookplace at the University of Cape Town (UCT)and Camps Bay over the past weekend.

On Friday after the first day’s round robinmatches, Rossouw and Layters had only lostone match and were second on the log, be-hind the first seeds and eventual winners ofthe tournament, Grant Goldschmidt andJerome Fredericks.

“I started playing indoor volleyball in 1999when I was still at school in Mitchell’sPlain,” says Rossouw, who is a teacher at StAnthony’s Roman Catholic Primary Schoolin Heathfield.

He is married to Tercia, a former volley-ball player and they have a daughter, Ju-liana (2).

“The indoor season is very short andwhensummer came, I hadno sport, so I progressedto beach volleyball,’ he says.

It is much the same for Layters, who is abachelor. “I also progressed from indoor vol-leyball to beach volleyball to keep playingthe sport all year round,” he says.

Rossouw stopped playing for some time,but when he decided to play again he metLayters at the University of the WesternCape (UWC) where they were both playingand decided to form a team for the FlyingFish Beach Volleyball Series.

“This (UCT) is only our second tourna-ment together as a team, but we are develop-ing our style of playing and want to stay to-gether for the entire series,” says Rossouw.

According to him, beach volleyball stillhas a long way to go in South Africa beforethe majority of players can become profes-sional and make a living out of it. “It is won-derful that Flying Fish sponsors this series,butweasplayers still hold a full-time joband

the only way we will be able to make a livingas players, is to get personal sponsorships,”says Rossouw.

Layters has his eye on the Olympics. “Iwould love to represent our country at theOlympicGames in thenot so distant future,”he says. “But it is going to take lots of hardwork.” Rossouw says training involves lots

of gym work and practise on the beach.“Dean and I regularly meet on the beach

where we practise our drills and do lots ofexercises andwealso go to gymoften toworkon our strength and do cardio-vascular exer-cises. It is hard work ... but we love it andhope to play for many years to come,” hesays.

Chappies still first-choice route for OMTOMAccording to the organisers of the Old Mu-tual Two Oceans Ultra Marathon (OM-TOM), Chapman’s Peak is still the preferredroute for this race.

Following the devastating fires that ragedalong Cape Town’s Southern Peninsula,coupled with the regular closure of Chap-man’s Peak due to high winds and threaten-ing rock falls, there has been a questionmark over the inclusion of Chappies in the

OMTOM route.The organisers of OMTOM are still hope-

ful that the Ultra Marathon will follow thenormal route, but stress that runners’ safe-ty remain a top priority in all planning.

“We continue to be in close contact withthe City of Cape Town Disaster Manage-ment team and other key role players, andkeep a finger on the pulse of all develop-ments affecting our Ultra Marathon route,

especially Chapman’s Peak,” says CarolVosloo, general manager of the Old MutualTwo Oceans Marathon NPC.

The Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra andhalf marathons are scheduled to take placeon Easter Saturday 4 April. Some 27 000 run-ners are expected to participate in thisevent.
