Yay or nay townhouse delayASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The decision about building townhouseson two Claremont properties has beenput on hold until subcouncil 20 council-

lors can have a look for themselves.The councillors present at a Protea Sub-

council 20 meeting last week voted for a sitevisit instead of deciding on an applicationby a developer to subdivide two properties.

The developer, J.H. Coetzee Land Survey-ors, has submitted an application to theplanning department to subdivide erf 57535into two portions and erf 57536 into four por-tions at number 3 and 5 Grace Road. Theapplication to build five townhouses re-ceived 15 objections. Over 40 residents inClaremont signed a petition against it.

These concerns were voiced at the ProteaSubcouncil 20 meeting last week. Their con-cerns were also described in a subcouncil 20report. They related to the sizes of the pro-posed portions, which they believed werenot in keeping with the character of theneighbourhood. They believed the subdivi-sion would decrease the value of all proper-ties in the area.

The objections also included worries thatthe proposed development would result inan increase in noise levels from cars usingthe servitude and construction noise. How-ever, the developer who addressed the sub-council on behalf of the applicant, said withonly five townhouses proposed “it is difficultto suggest that there is going to be a substan-tial increase in noise over and above whatis already in place”.

Another objection was to the traffic con-gestion that could come as a result of the con-struction. The developer, however, said thattraffic congestion was “not an issue”.

Objectors were also concerned about theproposed chimney for an external fireplacewhich they believed would be a cause ofsmoke pollution.

However, the developer responded that allchimneys on the common boundaries toneighbouring properties have been re-moved. The objectors were also concernedabout the removal of trees. But the developersaid existing alien vegetation would be re-placed by substantial new planting of indige-nous trees and landscaping. The objectorsstated in the subcouncil report that the pro-posed development would result in the lossof privacy due to the high density and prox-

imity to their properties.In response the developer said that in four

of the five proposed units no building lineswere encroached upon at first-floor level.

The report stated that due to the height ofthe proposed residences and reduction ofsunlight, the vegetation in Tudor Gardenswould likely be affected. However, the devel-oper explained that aside from the singleunit on erf 57535, adjacent to Tudor Gardens,the only first-floor departures applied forwere internal and that there were no over-looking features. He further said that theproposed development was in close proximi-ty to a major arterial road and rail networkand that the development would support theMyCiti bus service. Once the site visit hasbeen done, the councillors will make a deci-sion at the next subcouncil meeting.

TOURISM

By cable car from city to Signal Hill?A funicular, tram or cableway could

soon link the city centre to the noondaygunandSignalHill if Sanparkshas

a say.Such a “mechanical people mover” is on

the cards in a management plan it has draft-ed to boost tourism.Table Mountain National Park (TMNP),

managed by Sanparks, has released its draftmanagement plan for the next ten years. Thepublic is invited to comment on it.

Something oldA large portion of the plan is dedicated toboosting tourism numbers, which in turnwill fund conservation, heritage and constit-uency building.This entails upgrading a range of existing

tourist spots.First on the list for an upgrade is Boulders

Beach, which sees 650 000 annual visitors.Visits are growing by over 5% a year. Thevisitor facilitywill be redesigned to enhancevisitor experience and visitor flow, the planstates. Other upgrades include the board-walks, parking area and interpretive infor-mation.A proposed upgrade of Cape Pointmay see

infrastructure improvements to the roads,water pipeline and sewerage system, as wellas the visitor centre.The Rhodesmemorial sitemay also see in-

frastructure upgrades. An investigation isunderway to explore uses for the old zoo sitethere, which could serve as a “gateway” to

the Groote Schuur estate and the park.The Tokai Manor area is also in line for

upgrades, according to the plan. It proposesdeveloping the area into a “vibrant multi-purpose gateway to the parkwhere the envi-ronmental, cultural and social significanceof the area is celebrated through the restora-tion of [the Tokai Manor and surrounds]”.An upgrade of the Signal Hill and Tafel-

berg roads interchange is needed, accordingto the plan, which sees 1.2 million visitors.This would tie into new developments in theStrand Street quarry.

Something newTo improve access to Table Mountain, San-parks is currently investigating implement-ing a “mechanical peoplemover”whichwilllink theStrandStreet quarry to theLionBat-tery and Signal Hill. This could lead to arange of visitor facilities at the noonday gunand Signal Hill.The management plan also proposes to

make use of other quarries in the City Bowlfor a variety of “low-volume multi-useevents”.Silvermine is also set for development,

with the establishment of a picnic area onthe southern side of Silvermine Dam as wellas re-use of theGroot SilvermineHomesteadas a visitor site linked to Peers Cave and theSunbird Education Centre.The Silvermine Source-to-Sea project will

be implemented to rehabilitate the river sys-tems and promote recreational links be-

tween the urban environment and the park.The plan also looks atwaterways, with the

idea of linking the diversity of the terrestrialenvironment with that of the ocean throughthe establishment of a “marine gateway tothe Southern oceans”.“The purpose of this gateway would be to

promote the wonders of the ocean througha variety of marine-based research and ma-rine enforcement,” the plan states.A site for this gateway is still being identi-

fied.The plan serves as a reference to the man-

agement and development of the Park in itscurrent and envisaged future form.The plan includes information on the

background, biophysical context, desiredstate, management and programmes at stra-tegic and operational levels.V The full plan can be viewed on the Sanparks website.Public comment can be submitted until Saturday 9May.

POLICE COMPLAINTS

Pikoli SA’s first police ombudsmanASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

In concerted effort to intensify the fightagainst crime and improve service deliv-ery the community forums in the Clare-

mont Police Cluster held an open meeting.The cluster invited the newly appointed

Western Cape Police ombudsman, advocateVusi Pikoli, to speak on his appointmentand objectives of the position he holds.

Pikoli’s duties are to adjudicate publiccomplaints about police inefficiency orproblems that arose from a breakdown inrelations between the police and the com-munity. As the guest speaker Pikoli ex-plained that as the ombudsman he is legallymandated to receive complaints and to dealwith them accordingly.

“The type of complaints we will addressin the office include, the inefficiency withinthe police service, breakdown of relationsbetween community and police,” he says.

The Western Cape Provincial Police om-budsman is a South African first, made pos-sible through the Western Cape CommunitySafety Act, which is aimed at improved po-licing service delivery. Pikoli explainedthat the Ombudsman and staff members ofthe ombudsman must serve independentlyand impartially and must perform theirfunctions in good faith and without fear, fa-vour, bias or prejudice, subject to the Con-stitution and the law.

“The ombudsman and staff members ofthe ombudsman must preserve confiden-tiality in respect of any information ac-quired in terms of this Act, he says.

The functions of the ombudsman are to re-ceive and investigate complaints submittedin terms of section 16 of the CommunitySafety Act. The complaints include ineffi-ciency of the police or a breakdown in rela-

tions between the police and any communi-ty and to perform the other functions as-signed to him or her under this Act.

Pikoli explains that any person may sub-mit a complaint in the prescribed mannerand form to the ombudsman regarding al-leged police inefficiency or a breakdown inrelations between the police and any com-munity.

“Any member of the provincial parlia-ment may, on becoming aware of a com-plaint regarding alleged police inefficiencyor a breakdown in relations between the po-lice and any community, submit it to theombudsman for investigation,” he ex-plained.

The ombudsman must issue guidelinesthat are publicly accessible in respect of theprocedures to submit to the ombudsman.

Pikoli further explained that for the pur-poses of an investigation, the ombudsmanmaydirect anyperson to submit anaffidavitor affirmed declaration.

He may also ask the person to appear be-fore him or her to give evidence or to pro-duce any document in that person’s pos-session or under his or her control whichhas a bearing on the matter being investi-gated, and may question that person there-on.

“I may request an explanation from anyperson whom he or she reasonably suspectsof having information which has a bearingon the matter being investigated or to be in-vestigated,” he said.

The ombudsman may designate staffmembers of the ombudsman or other suita-ble persons as investigating officers to per-form the functions referred to in subsec-tions (1) and (2) of the Act.

Pikoli says an investigating officer who isnot in the full-time service of the state mustbe appointed on the prescribed conditions

and at the prescribed remuneration.An investigating officer must be provided

with a certificate of appointment signed byor on behalf of the ombudsman in which itis stated that he or she is an investigatingofficer appointed in terms of this Act. “Aninvestigating officer must have a certificateof appointment on his or her person whenperforming a function in terms of this Act,”he says.

Pikoli says that since his appointmentmid-January his office has received over 90complaints.

“We are pleased that the public are com-ing forward and reporting to us about theirconcerns which mean that we can work to-gether and establish solutions to policing is-sues in the province,” he says.

CIDs, NPOs join handsto help homelessInan effort to helphomeless people andchildren in Claremont two communi-ty organisations have partnered with

two non-profit organisations.The Claremont Community Improve-

ment District, through its relationshipwith the Claremont Improvement Dis-trict Company (CIDC), has established apartnership with The Haven and U-turnnon-profit organisations.Abdul Kerbelker, chairperson of the

community police forum, says The Ha-ven runs a shelter for homeless peopleand children in the Claremont area, andprovides a soup kitchen.“They also offer 16 bed spaces at their

Claremont shelter and further tempo-rary accommodation at their other shel-ters,” he says.The Haven can be contacted on

021 671 4209.Kerbelker says U-turn – in addition to

running interventions like second-handclothing for the homeless – have a suc-cessful voucher programme.“This enables members of the public

to give responsibly. Thevoucher enablesthe homeless to redeem any number ofservices fromU-turn, including food andclothing,” he says.U-turn can be contacted 021 683 4948.He further says that theClaremont Im-

provement District social developmentdepartment focuses onhelping homeless

people in the Claremont central busi-ness district, as well as alleviating pov-erty by supporting skills training andjob creation projects.“We also work in partnership with

NGOs and other stakeholders,” Kerbelk-er says.The CIDC can be contacted on

0800 200 597.“Wewould like to encourage business-

es and individuals to donate food,moneyandclothing to registeredorganisations,instead of directly to the homeless,” hesays.Kerbelker says they have experienced

that direct donations and peace workhas the effect of keeping homeless on thestreets.“We would therefore encourage mem-

bers of the community tomakeuse of theservices of NGOs like U-turn and TheHaven which are specifically taskedwith reducing the number of homelesson the street,” he says.The City of Cape Town has also made

available a 24-hour toll free number(0800 872 201) with trained call centreagents who are able to direct social que-ries, which includes illness amongst thehomeless, unruly behaviour or crime as-sociated with the homeless. Thesetrained call centre operators will pro-vide the caller with a reference numberand feedback within 48 hours.

HEALTH

Innovator helps kidsThe simple act of breathing is difficult

or impossible for some children.But with the Breatheasy programme

at Red Cross Children’s Hospital parentswith technology-dependent children willnow be able to look after them at home.Themulti-disciplinary programme, co-or-

dinated by Sister Jane Booth, trains parentsto take over the care for their technology-de-pendent children from the medical team atthe hospital.“We strive to recognise and support the

families who provide extraordinary specialcare to their technology-dependent childrenat home,” Booth says.Booth says the programme also improves

the child’s quality of life, meets their devel-opmental needs and prevents the psycho-so-cial complications of long-term hospitalisa-tion.“They feel safe and secure growing up

within their families, are integrated intotheir own communities and eventually willbe able to contribute to society at large,” shesays.What makes this programme unique is

that the parents (families) have to take com-plete responsibility for the care of their chil-dren at home, because as yet there are nopaediatric home-based carers in the commu-

nity.Booth and her Breatheasy programme

were recently included in a health innova-tors booklet from the Bertha Centre for So-cial Innovation in recognition of her inte-gral role in foundingand facilitating thepro-gramme.As a result, the programme was one of on-

ly two health innovations fromSouthAfricathat were featured as part of a BBC seriesshowcasing health innovations across Afri-ca.The series focused on how these health in-

novations in Africa are making a differenceto the lives of patients, their families andcommunities.To watch the inset, visit bbc.in/1IFIUvF.“I am so passionate about this pro-

gramme, because it takes children out ofhospital back home where they belong. Itbuilds the capacity of the parents to be ableto care for their children and allows chil-dren to continue leading their normal, dailylives,” Booth says.

Barefoot for a good causeCan you go barefoot for a day?In a time when South African debates

are creating division among its citizens, agroup of students at the University of theWesternCape (UWC) launched a campaignto unify South Africans.Barefoot Thursday for Africa is a cam-

paign that challengesAfricans to assist fel-low Africans in need.Growing up in a village in the Eastern

Cape, Mongezi Mabena was the only onein his group of friends who owned a pairof shoes. He says he felt so embarrassed byhaving a pair of shoes that he would takethem off immediately when he came homefrom school and hide them from hisfriends.Mabena is 20-years-old now, a BComm

first year student at UWC and a Leaders’Quest Alumnus at youth developmentNPO Salesian Life Choices based in Lans-downe.Today, Mabena still feels a deep connec-

tion for children and equality – hismotiva-tion to launch Barefoot Thursday for Afri-ca, an initiative that encourages people togo barefoot every Thursday to highlightthe need for shoes in South Africa and in-spire those who have shoes to donate tothose who don’t.

Why Thursday?Mabena – the founder of the campaign

– saw two street children barefoot on aThursday while visiting Gugulethu.This encounter took his thoughts back

to growing up where he was the only onewho had a pair of shoes.Mabena says: “The experience raised a

lot of questions in my mind. For example:if Africa belongs to all those that live in it,how is it possible for one African to own25 pairs of shoes whilst another Africandoes not even have one pair? Does theAfri-can ideology only exist in our minds? I felta deep desire to do something about it.”This experience led Mabena to go to his

classes barefoot the following Thursday.Hewas takenabackby the interest he got

from his fellow students and those work-ing at the university.“Students kept approaching me to ask

why I was barefoot, this gave me an oppor-tunity to share the story and create aware-ness around the topic,” says Mabena.By the end of the day, he had received

donationsof shoes,with somestudents giv-ing him the shoes that they had on.“I was shocked by how many students

wanted to help and soon we had a group

of students that worked together to devel-op the Barefoot Thursday for Africa con-cept,” he says.Today all members of the organisation –

most of themstudents atUWC– go to class-es barefoot on Thursdays to raise aware-ness for the cause.According to the Department of Basic

Education there are over seven millionchildren in South Africa living withoutshoes.Understanding that the need for shoes is

more than just superficial, BarefootThurs-day for Africa highlights the importantneed for shoes in Africa’s impoverishedcommunities in preventing and reducingtrauma, hookworm and parasitic diseasesaffecting individuals who go barefoot forlong periods of time.“Most people do not know the far reach-

ing consequences of beingbarefoot for longperiods of timeandwewant to raise aware-ness and educate people,” Mabena says.“We also want to promote Ubuntu and to

raise awareness about the differences thathave destroyed the unity ofAfrica as a con-tinent. We asked people to donate a pair ofshoes to those who don’t have. In the firstweek we received more than 15 pairs of

shoes. It really showed that people want toget involved in helping the lives of theirfellow African brothers and sisters.”BarefootThursday forAfrica aims to col-

lect 300 pairs of shoes to donate to peopleliving in need across the Western Cape.“In order to reach our goal we have

reached out to non-profit organisations toassist us in finding children in need – wedon’t only aim to give to centres but alsoto children living in family homes that arein need,” says Barefoot for Africa memberPheliwe Tamba.“Barefoot for Africa’s main goal is to

prove that Africans can do much betterwhen they are working together becausewe believe that we have been separated fortoo long. It is time to bring change to thecontinent ourselves,” Mabena adds.This unifying cause, born from the

youth, exemplifies ways in which we canbring about positive change by reinforcinginitiatives that inspireAfricans to connectand actively tackle the problems we arefacing today as a nation.V For more information on Barefoot Thursday forAfrica and how to get involved contact barefeetfor[email protected] or contact Mongezi on 076 5795211.

‘This recycling is no good’ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Residents and business owners in Plum-stead are up in arms over the noise atand heavy trucks visiting a recycling

depot.They are now calling on the local authori-

ties to take action.People’s Post previously reported that a re-

cycling initiative is givingwork to homelesspeople in the area (“Hope for Plumstead’shomeless”, 24 March).The organisation, Greentrolley, aims to

empower people by giving them employ-ment and educating them in the process.The recycling depot is situated on the cor-

ners of Main and Fairdale roads.Here homeless people are encouraged to

bring in items that can be recycled.Such items include plastic, cans, card-

board, white paper, glass bottles and jars aswell asmagazines, telephone books, newspa-per and foam packaging.The initiative was launched in January

and already has over 91 people registered onits database.However, a resident, who asks to remain

anonymous while speaking on behalf of theconcerned residents and business owners,says the noise nuisance from trucks andsmashing bottles has become a concern.Heavy trucks and skips that park in the roadhave also become a big problem.“The owner’s attitude also isn’t helping as

he has been very rude towards my neigh-bours. Instead of taking our concerns as con-structive criticism and trying to seek a solu-tion, he has resorted to lying and verbalabuse towards some of my neighbours,” theman says.

He further says that “the two neighbourswho live back to back with the centre arecomplaining about a foul stench coming intotheir homes, which comes from the mainwaste bin and skip that stand against thewall every day”.

“For me personally the worst part aboutthis recycling centre is the devious mannerinwhich the owner has gone about ‘publicis-ing’ the centre and making it sound as if heis doing a great service towards the commu-nity and claims that he is uplifting the poor

and homeless by creating employment,” hesays.The resident says he is “all for uplifting

the poor and the homeless. I have workedwith the local vagrants (a few of them knowme very well) but I can tell that this centreis not uplifting anyone except the ownerhimself in terms of profit”.“The owner is certainly not running a

non-profit organisation – it is a businessgeared toward making a profit,” he says.The resident says “there are poor and

homeless people who want and need helpand then there are vagrants who collectscrap and sell it to recycling centres to earnmoney for their daily dose of wine”.“The vagrants who buy liquor and get

drunk, theymake a racket, urinate and defe-cate on the pavements and in the bushes andleave their litter lying around,” he says.“Then the next day the cycle starts all over

again,” he adds.Andhedoesnot seehow thisis uplifting the homeless.WhenPeople’s Post approached project co-

ordinator Heinz Smekal for comment on theissues raised by the residents he said he wasadvised under legal guidance not to respondat this stage.

Four of the “trolley pushers” move a bag filled with recyclables on the Greentrolley premises inPlumstead.

“There are poor and homelesspeople who want and need help andthen there are vagrants who collectscrap and sell it to recycling centres

to earn money for their daily dose ofwine.”

Do you remember the first book you read?Maybe it was a fairy-tale, in which a beautiful princess

was saved by a strong and dependable prince, or the ad-ventures of little animals as they relied on their friend-ship to escape dangers.Maybe your first book was a religious text, telling of

great miracles and teaching you how to live a good life.How many of us have lost ourselves in an adventure

or a love story, unable to stop turning the pages?As World Book Day was celebrated last week, readers

across the world picked up their favourite books.However, amongst our children – and even ourselves–

reading has become a dying past-time.We have turned the TV, radio or computer on, leaving

our books gathering dust.A great pity, as those very books contain life lessons

and a means to escape the dullness of our reality.But reading is more than just an escape.Themental stimulationof reading can slow thedevelop-

ment of diseases such Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Read-ingwill alsoboost yourvocabularyand improveyourgen-eral knowledge and memory.Regular readers have also been proven to have better

concentration and focus. They are also better analyticalthinkers, studies show.And many of these benefits can be carried over to chil-

dren, especially when their parents read to them from ayoung age.These children have been found to develop stronger ac-

ademically.Reading to your children will help them develop lan-

guage skills as well as concentration and logic.Instead of celebrating World Book Day once a year, it

should be celebrated every day.Switch off the TV or computer and curl up with a good

book, sharing the story with your family.

Report reckless taxi driversRecently, in the space of two days, I wasnearly driven off the road by taxiscoming down Harfield Road fromKenilworth’s side towards Main Road,Claremont. This has happened so manytimes lately, but last week Tuesdaymorning (14 April) was the ultimate.Four mini taxis filled with passengers

were driving in the right lane, whilefour cars, including myself, turned fromMain Road (at Scala Chemist) intoHarfield Road.

I was horrified when a car followedthem in the right lane to get to MainRoad. Traffic was blocked in Main Roadas two taxis just sped across withoutstopping.My biggest concern is that this

situation has intensified. There are minitaxis transporting children to the school.Children are walking to the school fromMain Road, as well as from HarfieldStation.These taxi drivers do not care about

anyone and they are really a threat toour society and safety.I really want to plea with people to

report any incident of reckless drivingto the necessary authorities. Hopefullywe can get some assistance from ourtraffic department in this regard.It is all about the safety of our com-

munities.
