A provincial building, earmarked for ex-tensive development, has become a ha-ven for vagrants.
The Helen Bowden Nurses’ Home is thefirst of four parcels of land in the Somersetprecinct to be released for development.However, a recent site visit by the Sea
PointCommunityPoliceForum (CPF) foundas many as 45 street people sleeping on theproperty.“The overall state was a total disgrace.
The stench of human excrement was over-whelming. Thebuildinghas beendesecratedwith garbage overflowing from all rooms,”says CPF chairperson Heather Tager.The organisation found 10 vagrants on the
site, while Tager was informed by one ofthem that between 40 and 45 people sleepthere each evening.The home is still occupied by nursing
staff, says Department of Public Worksspokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar.“The building is still functional as a
nurse’s home under the control of the pro-vincial Department of Health. No com-plaints of vagrancy have recently been re-ceived,” he says.The home on the site, currently zoned as
public open space, is only partially occupiedand is earmarked to be demolished to makeway for a 14-storey development, includingretail, office and residential space.The cornerstone of the new Somerset Hos-
pital was laid on 18 August 1859 and standstoday as a provincial heritage site that must
be preserved and maintained within any fu-ture development of the precinct, says pro-vincial Transport and Public Works spokes-person Siphesihle Dube.The west wing building was added to the
hospital facilities in 1973 and theHelenBow-den Building was developed in the 1980s.Green Point ratepayers have called for the
property to be returned to the Green PointCommon (“Land squabble heats up”, Peo-ple’s Post, 29 May) after land was originally“expropriated” from the common between1962 and 1965.Green Point Ratepayers’ Association co-
chairperson Luke Stevens says: “From theoriginal 109ha of common, what effectivelyremains to the general public is the 12.5haofGreenPointUrbanPark. Itwould be a rev-olutionary development if [the provincial
government] decided to reverse that processand give back what they no longer need,” hesays.Tager is now calling for action against the
security risk at the building.She believes access control should be im-
plemented until the development is final-ised.“I definitely have security concerns. Secu-
rity [guards on site] were well aware of thesituation and should have reported this toPublic Works at the start, [threby] avoidingthe present situation,” she says.However, Kafaar says there is no need for
action at present.“The building is currently functional.
Stepswill, however be taken against vagran-cy should such complaints be received,” hesays.

HOMELESS: ‘GREEN’ AID A WRAP-UP AGAINST THE COLD
Bag to help beat big chillNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
For people fighting the winter chillwhile living on the streets of CapeTown, a new recycling initiative is
keeping them warm and dry.A sleeping bag, called the Street Sleeper,
is being produced from recycled PVC, aplastic used on billboards that can’t be recy-cled.
Oliver Brain came up with the idea inwanting to help homeless people but he“didn’t have an easy enough platform to doit from”.
“I decided to create this platform for peo-ple and chose to focus on one element: pro-viding shelter from the cold, wet and windynights for some of the thousands of peoplewho find themselves homeless in CapeTown,” he says.
“It was then that I noticed our city is plas-tered with PVC advertising billboards thatcan’t be recycled after use. I had found mymaterial and it was plentiful, flexible, wa-terproof, strong and wanted to be upcycled,”he says.
The process of going from billboard to bagstarts with your donation diverting a dis-used billboard from landfill, Brain says.
“We source our PVC for free from a com-pany called Tractor Outdoor here in CapeTown. It is then transformed through sever-al stages into a bag. Production creates em-ployment, with local people involved in con-struction,” he says.
A machinist is currently employed full-time with the help of three volunteers to cre-ate the sleeping bags, Brain says.
He says the company will soon start man-ufacturing lifestyle accessories, such ascellphone covers, laptop bags and wallets,from the billboard material, which willcross-subsidise the non-profit branch of thebrand.
“Since we started in March we have dis-tributed about 60 bags. During this time wehave set up an in-house production facility
which has given us the ability to increasethe volume of bags made. We plan to distrib-ute at least 200 bags this winter,” he says.
Another 50 bags were distributed on Man-dela Day, he says.
Patrick Williams has been living on thestreet for four years and now uses a StreetSleeper. “This year is the coldest that I haveever seen Cape Town. This bag keeps mewarm at night and it’s a hundred times bet-ter than sleeping in the rain,” he says.
The sleeping bag also doubles as a carrybag.
“Innovation is at the heart of the StreetSleeper. We wanted to make a product thatnot only provided relief from the elementsat night, but also served a purpose duringthe day. Homeless people inevitably have alot of belongings they carry around withthem, so it made sense to make the sleepingbag double as a backpack. The benefits ofthis are that now people can transport be-longings, keep them dry from the rain aswell as safe,” he explains.
Sam Langa lives on the street and says theStreet Sleeper has given him a sense of secu-rity.
“Before, people would steal everything Iowned while I was asleep. But now I storemy belongings in the bottom of this sleepingbag and they stay safe during the night,” hesays.
The sleeping bag also form a bridge be-tween social groups, Brain believes.
“Street Sleeper bags forge links betweenthe homeless who are pro-actively workingto change their circumstances and the peo-ple who want to help them.
“They are used to build bridges over so-cial barriers and create value for the peoplewho use them. The most tangible benefit wehave seen is the appreciation and happinessthat the people who use the bags haveshown. In a society where not much atten-tion is paid to the homeless, the fact thatthey are receiving a product that has beenspecifically designed for them creates asense of value,” he says.
Brain believes the Street Sleeper will alsobecome a tool to raise awareness.
“Our ultimate goal is to provide shelterand to raise awareness around homeless-ness and the economic disenfranchisementthat goes with it. We think that the appealand uniqueness of this product – a survivalbag created from waste, built by homelesspeople – is a powerful advocacy tool thathighlights issues facing the most disadvan-taged members of our society.
“It would be a stretch at this early stageto say that Street Sleeper is empoweringpeople to move off the street, but we haveseen that it does create a dialogue and raisesawareness around the issue of homeless-ness, which is a step in the right direction,”he says.V Visit www.streetsleeper.org for more information orto donate.

City residents are petitioning for actionagainst an audible buoy in Cape TownHarbour.
Residents suffering sleepless nights due tothe noisy buoy were assured a sound damp-ening device would be installed. However,this is not longer being considered by theharbour master’s office.The audible buoy has been keeping Green
Point residents from their sleep and hasbeen causing endless headaches.Local Na-ella van der Schyff has spear-
headed a campaign to silence the buoy andwas assured by the harbour master a newsound unit will be installed on the buoy – re-portedly the first time such a dampening re-pairwouldhavebeen carried out (“Badbuoy– residents at wits’ end”, People’s Post, 26June).However, during a recent meeting with
Green Point resident Johan de Wet, the har-bour master’s office informed him that asthewarning devicemust be installed by law,residents will have to continue to live withthe siren. The change in stance has left resi-dents disappointed, says Van der Schyff.“Naturally all the affected parties are to-
tally disappointed, frustrated and angeredthat they were led to believe something wasgoing to be done about their problem –whenall the while the harbour authorities satback and did absolutely nothing to amendthe problem as promised. They totally ig-nored all calls and numerous correspond-ences from the community,” she says.“They gave no reason as to why they had
promised to fix the problem.They just apolo-gised that we bought in that area and weretold to livewith it. It is understandable if youlive on the harbour edge, but to live 4kmfrom it on top of a hill and still be tormentedis a grievous concern.”A petition is now being circulated to place
pressure on the relevant authorities, Vander Schyff says.“The buoy has had a severe negative im-
pact on the residents as the constant beepinghas resulted in severe sleep deprivationleading to stress, loss of productivity, socialanger and health. The residents experiencethis daily and have had no escape from thistorture every night,” she says.The buoy, which is in place to prevent the
possible grounding of ships in our roughseas and poor visibility conditions whichrenders the visual flashing of the buoy inad-equate. The audiblewarning serves as a fail-safe method. The siren is only meant toreach a radius of 900m, but residents arehearing the constant beeping as far as 3kmaway, says Van der Schyff.The buoy can be heard as far as Vrede-
hoek, says resident JillKaganson. “The rate-payers were there before the buoy and needto be restored to the quality of life they knewbefore this invasion. Where are the accidentstatistics to show it was warranted and
where are the accident stats to show acci-dents have been reduced since its incep-tion?” she says.Green Point resident Michael Honsa says
numerous residents have complained.“My doctors say that this negative impact
on sleeping patterns must not be underesti-mated and will cause serious long-term ef-fect and damage. “Many residents now seekhelp in sleeping pills, and the long-term ef-fect of those is also no joke. Since it’s an une-ven, irregular high pitch sound pattern – de-signed not to ignore – it makes a deep sleepimpossible,” he continues.Mayoral Committee member for Health
Benedicta van Minnen says City Health ini-tially traced the noise and had discussionswith the harbour master and complainant.“The City has responded to initial com-
plaints by investigating and identifying thenoise source. Meetings were also held with
the relevant authorities,” she says.“Since the device is for emergency use, it
is specifically exempted from the noise con-trol regulations. For any further action,complainants should engage directly withthe relevant authorities – in this case, it willbe the National Ports Authority and/or theHarbour Captain,” she says.Port of Cape Town spokesperson Coen
Birkenstock says sound dampening meas-ures were considered for the buoy, but “le-gally, the characteristics of the sound signal[can’t be changed]”. No other measures willbe considered due to legal constraints, hesays.V The petition can be viewed at www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/city-of-cape-town-and-transnet-sa-stop-the-24-7-day-and-night-high-pitched-howling-of-siren-buoy-no-8-at-cape-town-harbour?recruit-er=130947315&utm_campaign=mailto_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition

VAGRANCY: ‘SALVAGE’ RIGHTS?
A dirty businessANDRÉ BAKKES
@andrebakkes
If vagrants take garbage from a refusebin, is it theirs?
And what if a member of the publicthen takes the vagrant’s bag? Is that theft?
These questions came to the fore aftera Parklands woman recently seized a va-grant’s bag away from him and refused togive it back.
Outgoing community police forumchairperson Andrew Brace and previousprincipal inspector of the Displaced Peo-ple’s Unit (DPU)WayneAldridge clarifiedthe matter to People’s Post.
SaysAldridge: “If you put something in-to themunicipal refuse binwith the inten-tion of throwing it away andmove the binoff your property then the contents of thebin belongs to the City of Cape Town.While the bin is on your property it stillbelongs to you.”
He adds that amember of the public has
as little right to take a vagrants bag as itis for the vagrant to take something outof the dustbin and putting it in there.
In such a situation, Aldridge says, it isbest to notify the police, who are withintheir rights to seize the bag.
“It is up to the street person to provethatwhatever is in that bagbelongs tohimor her,” he continues.
“One thing is certain, members of thepublic should be very careful they don’tsubject themselves to a charge of assaultwhile they try to remove a bag, which inreality does not belong to them.”
Brace says the DPU can remove a varie-ty of items from vagrants.
“These include any item that can beused to erect any type of structure, shelteror cover for possible unlawful occupationof City owned land; shopping trolleys andcarts; and any other items that might bestolen goods.
“These will be handed over to the po-lice,” he elaborates. Wheels of change

A cycle event is looking to honour the lifeand legacy of NelsonMandela by taking Ca-petonians on a ride of their lives.
The Freedom Ride will see around 5000cyclists travelling 27kms through Rondes-bosh, Athlone, Langa, Woodstock and Dis-trict Six, covering a kilometre for everyyear the late president was incarcerated.
This event captures the very essence ofMadiba, says Bicycle Empowerment Net-work director Andrew Wheeldon.
“It speaks to overcoming racial intoler-ance, discrimination and fear of the un-known within our own cities,” Wheeldonsays.
“It demonstrates his legacy lives on andthat we live it and breathe it; and that wemove together as unified South Africans –this is the spirit of ubuntu, the spirit ofMadiba.”
Starting in Rondebosch, the route willpass the TrojanHorseMemorial in Athlone– the site commemorating three victimswho were killed by security police in 1985– and Athlone Stadium.
Cyclists will then ride to Langa with astop at Ikhaya le Langa’s, a project tacklingunemployment through community regen-eration and social enterprise initiativesand transforming the ‘Langa Quarter’ intoa vibrant tourist destination.
Riders will also pass the Langa mural artstrip created by 17 artists in December 2013through an engaging street art/mural com-petition.
The route will then follow the Liesbeek
cycle lane which runs parallel to the riverand is to be connected to the city though de-marcated cycle lanes currently under con-struction along Albert Road.
This will then lead cyclists past historicDistrict Six and eventually into the CapeTown CBDwhere the ride ends in the Fore-shore.
The route was selected so as to join di-verse communities through the medium ofthe bicycle, Wheeldon says.
“The ride will link communities and al-low residents to congregate, share andmove together – thereby facilitating en-gagement, conversation, and creating anenvironment where friendships, shared vi-sions and ideas can emerge.
“Rondebosch, Athlone, Langa, Pine-lands, Observatory and Woodstock as ajourney has long been divided and forgot-ten. This event aims to open this up againand to connect those who live in these are-as,” he says.
Participation is free but riders must reg-ister to take part as numbers are limited.
Proceeds of the FreedomRide Cape Townwill go towards settingupaBicycleEmpow-erment Centre in Langa.
The Bicycle Empowerment Network hasalready established 14 bicycle workshopsin the Western Cape, by supplying contain-ers converted to workshops and stockingthe workshop with bicycles and tools.
The centre project managers are trainedby the network in business management aswell as bike maintenance.V The Freedom Ride will take place on Saturday 9August. The race is non-competitive and open to allages. Visit www.freedomride.co.za.

FRINGE FESTIVAL: POSITIVE SPIN-OFF FOR CITY
Arts funding furoreNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
As the city gears up for its firstFringe Festival, arts organi-sations believe the funds
would be better spent on localprojects.
The Cape Town Fringe Festival,due to take place fromThursday 25September to Sunday 5 October,will host a range of small produc-tions, mostly by independent prac-titioners. The festival will be mod-elled on Fringe Festivals in NewYork, Prague and Amsterdam.
According to the event’swebsite,the concept of ‘Fringe’ started justafter World War II in Edinburgh,Scotland, when a group of inde-pendent artists felt excluded fromthe Edinburgh Festival. Theystarted their own festival which,today, is the world’s biggest andbest known.
The bulk of the festival’s fundingwill be provided by theCity of CapeTown, to the tune of R2.7m.
The National Arts Festival hastaken over the Cape Town event todiversify and extend their brand,according to the event website, astheorganisationalreadyboasts theexpertise and resources needed torun a festival.
However, the Cape Philharmon-ic Orchestra has received no fund-ing this year, despite centenarycelebrations being held this year,says CEO Louis Heyneman.
In previous years, the orchestrahas received only R170 000, which
barely covers the costs of a concert,Heyneman says.
The Cape Town arts communityfelt sidelined by the negotiationswith the Grahamstown NationalArts Festival, believing theyshould have been consulted and in-cluded (“Arts community blastsCity of Cape Town for festival side-line”,People’s Post, 9October 2013).
Heyneman says only one meet-ingwas heldwith them prior to theCity negotiating with external or-ganisers. This despite theCity hav-ing “all the expertise at their fin-gertips” with organisers from theorchestra, Artscape, the jazz festi-val, the Fugard, the Baxter andCape Town Ballet.
Heyneman would rather see thefunds channelled into supportingexisting arts programmes.
But the link between the CapeTown Fringe Festival and the CapePhilharmonic Orchestra with re-gard to funding is misguided, saysMayoral Committee member forTourism, Events and MarketingGarreth Bloor.
“It is not a matter of funding theFringe Festival instead of support-ing arts organisations like the or-chestra. The funding support forthe Fringe Festival delivers on akey objective in the use of large-scale events to positively enhanceeconomic and social developmentin Cape Town. Performing arts fes-tivals of this nature have a proventrack record in terms of contribut-ing positively to cities. In addition,leadingperformingarts practition-
ers both locally and abroad haverecognised the viability of a FringeFestival in Cape Town,” he says.
The funding of organisationssuch as the orchestra is a differentmatter as it is not an event, Bloorexplains. “Orchestras do not havea track record of affecting econom-ic and social cohesion on a large
scale, but this does not take awayfrom the fact they are importantcultural organisations and a bene-fit to the city,” he says.
“The National Arts Festival ap-proached the City via the City’sfunding mechanisms. The arts fes-tival is amember of the prestigiousWorldFringeAlliance – a grouping
of nine Fringe Festivals which col-lectively reach an audience of overthree million people. The City has,however, committed to provide theorchestra with R1.5m in fundingfor the 2014/2015 financial yearsubject to meeting with the rele-vant orchestra board members,”Bloor says.

expected to be announced in theupcoming months, White says.When completed, about 2 500
people will work at the Silo dis-trict daily.In a 2012 economic impact
study that is currently beingup-dated, the expected nominalcontribution to GDP from fu-ture developments is R28bn by2023.V&A Waterfront CEO David
Green says: “With approxi-mately 30% or 180 000m² of theV&AWaterfront property avail-able for development, the Silodistrict is our current area ofshort-term development focus.“Development at the V&A is
market-led, in response to a de-mand we have seen for bespokecommercial offices and urbanresidential with harbour andmountain views. The intentionis to create a vibrant andmixed-use sustainable district withsustainability credentials thatwill offer business opportuni-ties, accommodation, lifestyleoptions and eateries.’’
REACHING OUT: STOKED FOR CHARITY
Surf’s up for youngstersNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Surfers aroud the Cape arecalled to ride the wave ofchange.
Surfers can now give back toyouth fromdisadvantaged commu-nities through the Surfers HelpingSurfers campaign.
The campaignwill giveusedwet-suits to young surfers to encouragegrowth in the sport.
The Billabong campaign aims totouch the lives of children fromless privileged backgrounds, says-marketing manager Chad D’Arcy.
“We are hoping that we can posi-tively influence children from dis-advantaged circumstances andthrough various surf outreach or-ganisations introduce them to thejoys of the ocean and the healthylifestyle that is surfing,” he says.
The campaign has already seena strong response, D’Arcy says.
“This is the first year we’re run-ning this campaign and so far theresponse has been fantastic. Welaunched the initiative in Apriland, to date, we have collected over60 second-hand wetsuits. It is agreat way for surfers to give backand to help less fortunate kidsshare in the stoke of riding waves.We are aiming to do our firsthandover in July and keep thecampaign running indefinitely,”he says.
The second-hand wetsuits willbe distributed to surf outreach pro-grammes such as Surf Shack,Aleph Surfing Foundation andChristian Surfers.
Surf Shack’s David Chudleighsays the outreach programme as-sists 20 children fromareas suchasCapricorn and Lavender Hill tolearn the skills around surfing.
“You need to spend a reasonableamount on time in the water to be-come a good surfer. These wetsuitsare the difference between a childfreezing and only being able to surffor a few minutes, and being ableto stay in the water for an hour,”he says.
With three of his students re-cently achieving provincial halfcolours, the campaign will allowtheir talent to grow, Chudleigh be-lieves.
“These children have alwaysbeen on the backfoot, but nowthey’ll be able to compete on thesame level as other children.We’vegot really talented surferswho lovethe surf lifestyle,” he says.
“Surfing allows them to see thatthere ismore to life than drugs and
gangs.”The campaign is taking initia-
tive to continue the life of awetsuitby creating avenues for people todonate their old suits, says AlephSurfing Foundation director Reh-gert Van Zyl.
“A wetsuit can tell many epicstories of surf sessions that havebeen spentwith its owner, but oncea surfer gets a new suit, the old oneis quickly forgotten and ends updiscarded. It’s great to see a cam-paign channelling wetsuits to peo-ple who do not have the same ac-cess to resources. As an organisa-tion we can then share and sendwetsuits where they are very need-ed and appreciated,” he says.
“What a way to make surfersfrom either ends of the scale bepart of the same process of sharingin the stoke. Aleph Surf is hon-oured to steward these suits andmake a lot of surfers and otherprojects very happy.”
GROWING TALENT: Surfers can now give back by donating second-hand wetsuitsto surfing outreach programmes. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

They’re called all kinds of names.Bergies, vagrants, skollies, street sleepers, outies and
a smattering of less savoury ones, too. They’re also calleda nuisance, pests and unwelcome elements.
Based on these tags one would be hard pressed to be-lieve this is people talking about other people.
Human beings, of flesh and blood. They live, theybreathe, they have feelings and they have needs.
And, like it or not, homeless people are here to stay.In the leafy suburbs the well-heeled would dearly love
to wish the trolley pushers away in the wink of an eye.If only it were that easy to work with all people.The truth is, it isn’t.Here’s another truth: a large portion of the homeless
contingent do not want to lead a lifestyle that equates towhat most of us consider normal. And that is their inal-ienable right.
They prefer sleeping rough, don’t want a bed and a roof,a so-called normal job, family or associated responsibili-ties.
That is not to say homeless people do not have responsi-bilities. To the contrary, they don’t just lie downandwith-er away.
It must take untold stamina to survive the streets; itmakes some sense then that homeless people – young andold – are more than often addicted to cheap liquor andother drugs, hence the purple champagne tag.
Some of them are highly educated and ended up on thestreets through the curveballs of life. Theymayhave beenin stable families and have held down jobs. Then life hap-pened.
It could happen to you, too.The one day you’re happily going about your perfect
life; the next everything changes without your say-so.Sad and horrible all at once.Surely it is time to stop pointing noses in the air and
do something real and constructive to help others.
Appeal to give wiselyIt is winter.
The wind is blowing, there is a hint ofrain in the air and you have just filled upyour trolley from Woolies and about to goback to your comfortable home.
Someone on the streets – you have seenthem there for many weeks – asks forsomething to eat or some spare change.
How can you not help?Surely a little food, a few coins or
putting out items such as clothing or foodfor them to collect is okay.
But the answer is an emphatic “no”!Such well-intentioned help only helps
keep that person on the streets and thatis why you have seen them there regular-ly for months, if not years.
We need to support long-term solutionsto get them out of the cycle that has ledto them being in this situation.
Many have alcohol and drug addic-tions.
And many are involved in crime – weestimate about 90% in Sea Point have acriminal record.
So if we are going to help them and alsohelp reduce crime in our area – how canyou help?
Providing support for organisations
which address the rehabilitation ofhomeless people is the only answer.
The Sea Point Community Police Fo-rum engages a fieldworker to assist withtrying to rehabilitate them.
She profiles each person – she seesaround 100 a month and has had manysuccesses. She is funded from voluntarydonations so you could channel your sup-port in that way.
Spare clothing can be donated to theSea Point Improvement District officewhich is located next to the fire station.
Such donations are then made availa-ble to people when they have been reha-bilitated.
Police, Law Enforcement, the Commu-nity Police Forum and the Sea Point Im-provement District are making huge ef-forts to help solve the problems of home-lessness and the associated anti-socialbehaviour and criminal activity that canoccur.
Please canwehave your support in giv-ing responsibly to help us all overcomethis problem.DEREK SALTER,Atlantic Seaboard Neighbourhood WatchChairperson
Help to tracefamily treeI’m trying to find information about mygrandmother Alberta Sarah Williams.
She came to South Africa on the SS Gaikaarriving the end ofNovember [or] beginningDecember 1905. Alberta married my grand-father Montague William Loveridge on 22April 1908 in St John’s Church Wynberg(William on the marriage certificate). Hewas a sergeant in the 4th Dragoon Guards,registration number 4900.
Banns were called and the marriage waswitnessed by Joseph Miller and MargaretCrawford. It was solemnised by Hirzel Fred-erick de Lisle. I’ve tried the church withoutsuccess, although I do have a copy of theircertificate.
I’m hoping to fill in the gap between herarrival and marriage. Alberta died shortlyafter my mother was born in England.
Also I’m hoping to trace my grandfather’spostingswhile in SouthAfrica. Hewas a car-tographer and I know he was involved withthe Castle plans; a William Loveridge sailedfrom Durban on the Durham Castle in June1907 and thatmaywell have beenhim. I havetried googling the military base but withoutsuccess.

Your SMSes. We try to encourage our internationalguests to use theMyCiTi buses. The problemis obtaining a card and the whole “top up”mission makes it easier to use taxis.
. We, the elderly in Three Anchor Bay,can’t afford all the hassles of paying for acard. We want a booklet of tickets so we cango to the Waterfront or town now and again.MyCiTi is okay for everyday commuters.Wemiss our rides on Golden Arrow buses. Thenew system is amoneymaking business andis not convenient for us. CL, Three AnchorBay
. The bus stops are far away from eachother and we had to walk long distances,even in the pouring rain and we aredrenched. Why do buses leak? You may as
well walk in the rain. Please move the busstops nearer to each other.
. The comments made by Heather Tageris very disturbing. Why don’t you contactthe City and find out why the taxis are stilloperating? To Luke Stevens: how can yousay the taxis cannibalise the route for pick-ing up passengers? We are legally operatingon the route. Get your facts straight beforeyou comment and stop complaining. BrettHerron must inform you accordingly. Taxiowner
. As much as I enjoy using the MyCiTibus, I am strongly in favour of taxis remain-ing on this route as they will transport meand my dog, unlike the bus – a stupid over-sight in my view. Not being able to transportmy dog on public transport means I use mycar more than I would like to, contrary tothe aims of MyCiTi.
. All the pensioners being scammed bySassamust lay a charge of fraud at the policestation to speed up the process, because Sas-sa takes their time.
. Regarding “City scraps connectingfees”. I would like to raise the followingquestion: what would the procedure bewhere the prepaid system is used for elec-tricity and no municipal account exists?Thankyou forkeepingus informedandhopeto receive clarification on this point. GwenCallanan

ing to support the event is non-negotiable.All 16 teams participating in this year’sKnockout Challenge have been informed ofthis unfortunate development.”This year will, as always, feature the top
