R110bn for city infrastructure
Joburg Mayor Clr Parks Tau delivered the State of the City Address this week.
Staff [email protected]
During his State of the City address on Thursday Mayor
Parks Tau said Johannesburg is to increase its spending on the provi-sion of new infrastructure over the next 10 years. The City has increased its cur-rent budget of R4.6 billion to R7.3 billion for 2013/14, and intends spending R110 billion over the next 10 years, he said. “At the same time the City also intends increasing its expenditure on the maintenance of current infra-structure by threefold over the next three years; from the current 2.4% of budget to more than 7% of its budget,” said Clr Tau. He explained that the big expen-diture will make Johannesburg to compete favourably with other ma-
jor cities on the African continent. “Seven out of 10 of the world’s fast-est growing economies are located in Africa. The African fi nancial services sector is projected to grow by 40% in the next seven years to 2020. Africa is expected to spend US$1.1 trillion (about R10.12 tril-lion) over the next 25 years to mod-ernise infrastructure, and Johannes-burg must lead this wave.” He added that the City’s initiatives to attract investments, business and residents to the inner-city are in-creasingly showing results. “The CBD is becoming a precinct where the emphasis is on mixed-use development with a growing de-mand for low-income rental hous-ing. In the coming year, the City will spend R450 million alone on infrastructure developments in the inner-city to address safety, over-crowding, poor urban management,
crime and grime. A fi ve year capital investment plan is in place to inno-vative incentives offered to social housing developers.” Mayor Tau said 850km of fi bre op-tic cables, out of an envisaged total of 920km have already been laid to ‘bridge the digital divide’ and ad-dress socio-economic disparities. “The next phase is to create con-nectivity for all our citizens, reduce costs and spread access to services,” the mayor said. By the end of the 2016 fi nancial year, 250 000 households in Johan-nesburg will have smart metering systems installed for electricity with water to follow soon. The project has been started in Blairgowrie and is being rolled out in Kensington, Dainfern, Florida, Witpoortjie and selected townships where electricity smart metres are being rolled out, Mayor Tau said.

Retired Brigadier Danie Louw Pic: inner-city Press Agency
Staff [email protected]
Brigadier Danie Louw, who was Jeppe SAPS station commander has
resigned after serving 40 years. Kensington resident Lynn Mckay said Brig Louw was an amazing leader. “He made a huge difference and service improved immensely,” she added.
The deputy chairperson of Jeppe Com-munity Police Forum (JCPF) and acting chairperson of the Troyeville Kensing-ton Resident’s Association (TKRA), Navin Bachu said Brig Louw was pro-fessional. “I worked with him since July 2011. Every problem that was escalated to the office was dealt with in a profes-sional manner. He identified and built leaders in his team, supported and drove them to work hard and provide an awe-some service to the community.” Bachu added that Brig Louw took pride in small things that created a foundation to achieve bigger goals for the commu-nity. Ward 66 Clr Carlos da Rocha com-mended Brig Louw for his commitment to the community. “His retirement is a great loss to the community,” he said. Brig Louw transferred to Jeppe in September 2006. He said one of the challenges he had to deal with was the high murder rate in the area, which was soon reduced by over 50 percent. “I was exposed to unique challenges and learned a lot. During xenophobic attacks in 2008 I was amazed at the compassion shown by community members. They put their differences aside and helped those in need. Staff at Jeppe SAPS showed unique skills and character. It was a volatile situation and I pulled through it, and could not have done it without the dedication of my personnel,” he said. Brig Louw and his officers also kept control of the area during the Confedera-tions Cup and 2010 Soccer World Cup. Colonel Neo Smith was appointed act-ing station commander for Jeppe police.

a motion of no confi dence in premier Cassel Mathale, after DA member Desiree van der Walt called for it. Legislature caucus spokesperson Phuti Lekgan-yane said this as an ‘incessant effort by the DA to undermine the legitimate ANC-led government’. Mathale has been under fi re since December 2011, when fi ve departments were placed under administration because of alleged corruption and violation of the Public Finance Management Act. Mathale was stripped of his position as ANC provincial chairman when the NEC disbanded the provincial executive committee last month. A task team now runs the party in the province. Lekganyane said the legislature may remove the premier on grounds of serious misconduct or an inability to perform the functions of offi ce, which had to be done with a two thirds majority vote.“The DA only has two members out of 49, and this sounds far-fetched,” Lekganyane said. Lekganyane added that the DA had implied it had the support of some ANC members of the caucus to pursue the motion. “These blatant lies are being peddled by the DA in its attempts to make the ANC to look disintegrated,” he said.
Vredenburg - The leader of the Dagga Party of SA Jeremy Acton has announced that his organi-sation seeks to take part in next year’s elections. Acton said his party is working to ensure that his party garnered the 500 signatures demanded by the Independent Electoral Commission for the organisation to be able to contest the elections. “So far we have 300 signatures and hope to have the remaining 200 very soon. There is great po-tential for our party because 35 percent of South Africans over the age of 13 smoke dagga.” Acton added that he wanted to have the plant legalised and to unlock its economic potential.“Cannabis is an industrial crop, with multiple benefi ts. Our farmers are battling with conven-tional crops, cannabis grows the most biomass with the least water of all agricultural crops.” Concerning the consumption of the drug Acton said dagga is safer than alcohol and tobacco.

Witbank - Some of the highest levels of poi-sonous gases in the air are found above Wit-bank and the surrounds, it was reported this week. Beeld newspaper said levels of chro-mium and barium were so high that a Euro-pean Union research team’s instruments were unable to take accurate measurements. The team had spent two years gathering data from the coal-rich catchment area of the Olif-ants River to determine whether environmen-tal and social offences were taking place. A SA member of the team, Dr Henk Coetzee of the Council for Geoscience, said the EU was aware of environmental legislation, hu-man rights and sustainable development. It had increasingly been hearing concerned voices from SA about coal mines encroaching on neighbourhoods and protected areas. French geologist Stephane Chevrel, who led the project, said the EU and Israel had allo-cated about R48 million for the research. A geologist from Slovenia, Gorazd Zibret said according to their information the levels of heavy metals in the air above their research area were the highest in the world. He also said the raised levels had a negative affect on rivers and associated ecosystems.

Durban - Two armed men who tried to rob a pension pay-out point have appeared in court facing murder and robbery charges. The two men, Jabulani Gumede and Siya-bonga Mpungose were arrested for allegedly killing three people at a pension pay-out point in KwaZulu-Natal. They appeared in the Ntu-zuma Magistrate’s Court on Monday, and when a lawyer for one of them asked for more time to consult with his client the case was postponed. The two men allegedly shot and killed two security guards and a pensioner at the pay-point in Lindelani last month and also injured three other people. The robbers also stole the security guards’ weapons, but did not get the pension money. It is also believed that their alleged accomplices fl ed in a motor vehicle soon after the shooting.

Cape Town - An 18 year-old intern in Western Cape Premier Helen Zille’s offi ce Jarryd Manuel and his girlfriend Megan Hendricks, 19, were shot dead on Sunday evening in Delft, the Cape Argus reported. Police spokesperson Captain Frederick van Wyk said a 19 year-old man had been arrested in connec-tion with the shooting. Manuel was a PAY Project intern in the Centre for e-Innovation at the premier’s department. Zille said: “This is a tragic death that highlights the crisis of gang violence. Jarryd could
have undoubtedly built a successful career using the opportunity offered by his internship,” she said. Delft Community Policing Forum chairperson Reggie Maart said there had been a surge in shoot-ings in the area, with at least fi ve people killed and two more wounded since last Monday. “This area is located between strongholds of sev-eral warring gangs, and the shootings are often re-lated to battles over drug dealing turf, and innocent people are often caught in the crossfi re,” he added.

Johannesburg’s new “Corridors of Freedom” will dismantle the
spatial and social legacy of apart-heid and create a united and uni-fied Johannesburg. The strong emphasis on mixed-use development and rental ac-commodation located close to the transport arteries and nodes will open up new opportunities for families and individuals to live, work and play much closer to the core of the City. This arose from Joburg Mayor Parks Tau’s State of the City Ad-dress on Thursday. He said for
decades Joburg’s spatial planning was dominated by the apartheid concept of segregation, in which the majority of, mainly black resi-dents live in townships on the out-skirts of the city and away from economic opportunities. “A large segment of residents still live in small houses and in informal set-tlements that lack much of the in-frastructure that makes Johannes-burg a world class city. This has resulted in a racially segregated and divided city. “Transit-oriented development will change these entrenched set-tlement patterns. It will also slow down the process of urban sprawl
and the uncontrolled spread of low-density developments on the fringes of the city. Such develop-ments raise the cost of providing infrastructure and services and its residents are entirely dependent on private transport.” He added that the new transport corridors will create high-density developments and establish urban environments which mix residen-tial space with office accommoda-tion, retail, leisure and recreational opportunities. “An effective and affordable pub-lic transport system will link these nodes enabling residents to travel only short distance between home
and work place, cutting down on costs and travel time. “Schools, clinics and community facilities will be located in close proximity to residences and work places meaning that children liv-ing in the same area will attend the same school together. Leisure and recreational facilities will also be integrated leading to greater social interaction between people sharing the same geograph-ical space.” Mayor Tau added that this will result in significant social and cul-tural interaction, and also help to break down the barriers erected by policies of segregation.
Transport arteries to unite the city
The new system will bring residential and commercial areas closer to improve opportunities for residents.
‘A large segment of residents still live in small houses and in informal settlements that lack much of the infrastructure that makes Johannesburg a world class city, which has resulted in a racially segregated and divided city’

Big leap for Rea Vaya bus system
Own Correspondent
The Rea Vaya Phase 1B, which runs from Soweto and passes
through Noordegesig, New Canada, Pennyville, Bosmont, Coronation-ville, Newclare, Westbury, West-dene, Melville, Auckland Park and Parktown and linking to the CBD, is set to be operational in October this year. This was announced by Joburg Mayor Parks Tau during his State of the City Address on Thursday. He said the extension of this bus transit route, which has potential to carry 40 000 passengers daily, which starts in June 2013 will be received with great excitement. The faster, safer and cost-effective Rea Vaya bus service has been exceed-ing its daily target of transporting 80 000 passengers daily. “The trunk route will also be com-plemented by feeders extending to places like Yeoville, Cresta, Florida and Parktown, including the Char-
lotte Maxeke Hospital,” he added. By 2016, we would have rolled out the third phase of Rea Vaya BRT, extending the Rea Vaya North to Alexandra and Ivory Park as well as linking to the Sandton and Rose-bank CBDs. Clr Tau said the Rea Vaya is thus, together with rail, the key catalyst of transit orientated development and of developing ‘corridors of freedom’ in the City of Joburg. “Through these corridors of free-dom, Joburg will be able to reverse apartheid spatial planning and also reduce structural unemployment and poverty that has been created by denying job seekers easy and af-fordable access to work opportuni-ties close to where they live.” The City will be developing con-crete plans in the next year to pri-oritise the development of afford-able and inclusive housing options along the Rea Vaya Phase 1B and 1C routes such as at New Canada, Auckland Park, Marlboro and along
roads such as Empire and Louis Botha. The role of a Rea Vaya as a cata-lyst has also moved beyond public transport and spatial transforma-tion. The 134 buses that will pro-vide the Phase 1B service are being assembled and their bodies built in South Africa, leading to the creation of 300 jobs. Another 40 jobs will be created over the next 12 years in the maintenance of these buses. The contract for Phase 1B buses was awarded to Sandown Motor Holdings who have a 40% BEE partner. The chassis will be manu-factured by Mercedes Benz and the bodies provided by Marco Polo. The Rea Vaya BRT down Louis Botha to Alexandra will also lead to the extensive revitalisation and regeneration of areas like Hillbrow, Berea, Yeoville, Orange Grove, Al-exandra, Marlboro and Wynberg and will make the Sandton CBD more inclusive and be accessible to commuters within these areas.
‘Joburg will be able to reverse apartheid spatial planning and also reduce structural unemployment and poverty’ The new BRT link is expected to be received with excitement.

On Thursday Home Affairs Min-ister Naledi Pandor said the long-awaited smart identity card will be phased in from July. Pandor made the announcement during her budget speech vote in Parliament this week. She said it would be phased in over the next five to seven years, gradually re-placing the old green ID book. “The smart card will have a mi-
crochip with biometric security features. We will start issuing the smart ID card at 27 Home Affairs regional offices throughout the country. These offices have already been equipped with the capacity for live capture,” she said. The new ID cards will be issued to first-time applicants for the docu-ment, and people needing renewals, the Home Affairs minister said.

On Monday this week the School Media project invited
hundreds of Johannesburg CBD schoolchildren to join the organisa-tion on a ‘Clean City Campaign’. The MD of School Media, Khethi Ngwenya launched the cleaning initiative to encourage a cleaner neighbourhood by educating the community about waste sorting, re-cycling and the benefits of living in a clean environment. “Today saw the start of what we hope to be a long term project and partnership between School Media and the community within which
the company’s head office is based. In addition to an effective infra-structure, realising a clean city vi-sion requires community involve-ment and a love for our city.” Ngwenya called on all Johannes-burg citizens, especially the youth, ‘to embrace one element of the greater plan for the city, and keep it clean’. “It’s up to all of us and it will re-main a collective effort. I believe a clean environment leads to a posi-tive attitude, and a positive attitude attracts social as well as business investment, and investment leads to development,” said Ngwenya.” In addition to sharing information about recycling, an important com-
ponent of the campaign will be to educate communities on the impact of littering and illegal dumping. The initiative will also address the nega-tive impact these practices have on the environment, Ngwenya added. School Media has Funded the Green House Project NPO. Situated in Joubert Park, School Media and the GHP supports the development of community based organisations, projects and emerging enterprises in the green economy. The centre is a walk-in demon-stration, outreach and information hub for environmental sustainabil-ity and sustainable living practices in organic gardens, recycling, per-maculture and renewable energy.

Police have launched a manhunt after a Yeoville man was shot
dead and another injured during a robbery at corner Main and Berea streets in Jeppestown, according to Cst Thabo Malatji of Yeoville police. He says two men were travelling in a white Toyota Corolla when they spotted a red Volkswagen Golf with four occupants following them.
“The driver of the Golf tried to stop the men in the Corolla but they drove on. The Golf was then driven in front of the Corolla, forcing it to stop. During the incident, shots were fired and the occupants of the Corolla were robbed of R100 000. One man was killed and the other was injured, and the robbers fled the scene.” Anyone with information that could lead to their arrest of the gun-men may contact their nearest police station or call 08600 10 111.

A truck driver has been charged with murder after he allegedly killed a man who tried to steal a truck bat-tery, according to Cleveland police. Constable Mpho Mashakane of Cleveland police says the de-ceased and two friends went
to a container depot in Drosty Street, Malvern and tried to steal a battery from one of the trucks. “The truck driver noticed what was happening and tried to appre-hend them, but they fought back. The truck driver then drove off and injured one of the men with the truck. The man was taken to hospital where he died due to his injuries.”

A man who has been on the run since he escaped from police custody in 2010 was arrested in Yeoville over the weekend, according to police spokesperson Cst Thabo Malatji. He says the 35 year-old man was arrested in Rockey Street, Yeoville. “Police were conducting an anti-crime operation in Yeoville policing
precinct when they stopped a man and asked to search him. After the search, they used a morpho-torch de-vice that checks fingerprints on po-lice records, on the man, where it was established that he was wanted. He had three outstanding crimes in Lit-tleton, Roodepoort and Randburg.” Cst Malatji adds that the suspect used different names every time he was caught. He has appeared in court and was remanded in custody.
