MUIZENBERG CLUSTER

Police ‘lack resources’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Visible policing, women abuseand a lack of resources werehighlighted at a public meet-

ing on policing needs in the FarSouth.

The meeting, held by the Depart-ment of Community Safety (Docs),focused on issues affecting the Mu-izenberg Cluster which includesOcean View, Fish Hoek, Simon’sTown, Muizenberg and Hout Baypolice stations.

In his presentation provincialminister for Community SafetyDan Plato said the meetings wereheld to discuss issues around polic-ing needs in each cluster.

Those present posed tough ques-tions about the functionality of theMuizenberg and Ocean View Com-munity Police Forums (CPFs), theprocedures followed by Docs offi-cials at elections and the popula-tion numbers given by police.

Lieutenant-Colonel Nico Frank-en gave an overview of the areacovered by the cluster.

Johann Kikillus, former CPFchairperson for Ocean View, ques-tioned how police could state thepopulation of Masiphumelele,Ocean View and Kommetjieamounted to 39 000.

“Masiphumelele alone is about50 000 people. In addition two sec-tor vehicles are not enough to cov-er the entire precinct,” he said.

Plato said this is something hisdepartment would look into.People’s Post questioned why

Docs officials did not attend themeeting called by the Ocean ViewCPF to elect a new body.

The newspaper also questionedwhy a Docs official stumbledthrough the Muizenberg CPF elec-tions in December last year.

Plato said: “We will look intowhy an official was not present.For this year’s elections the Inde-pendent Electoral Commissionwill assist to ensure the electionsare fair.”

A survey using an electronic de-vice was conducted and thosepresent were asked to give theirviews on policing in their precinct.

The preliminary results of thesurvey indicate the meeting wasmostly attended by people living inthe Fish Hoek precinct. Thisamounted to 29.3%.

Muizenberg came in second with22% and Ocean View and Simon’sTown tied at third place with19.5%.

Hout Bay came in last with a rep-resentation of 9.8%.

Responding to questions about

whether or not police resources inthe south were adequate a stagger-ing 83% of attendees chose the “notadequate” option.

When it came to the utilisationof these resources, 34% of voterssaid they were used effectivelywhile 32% said they were not. Afurther 20% of voters also said re-sources were under-utilised.

According to the voters, residen-tial burglaries, drug-relatedcrimes and theft out of motor vehi-cles were the top three crimes po-lice needed to focus on.

Asked what they thought were

the main contributors to crime inthe cluster, 46% of voters said sub-stance abuse, while 27% said un-employment. An additional 10%said poor parenting was a contrib-utor.

Inadequate visible policing wasvoted as the main reason opportu-nities for crime were created.

Closing the meeting, Mark Wi-ley, chairperson of the CommunitySafety, Cultural Affairs and Sportportfolio committee and memberof the provincial parliament, saidpolicing was not where it shouldbe.

This, he said, was a result of aflawed system in the allocation ofresources to police stations.

He said on an average shift ros-ter up to 60% of the police officerson the roster were not available.

“They are either off sick, on ma-ternity leave or on a course.”

Wiley said officers were giventhe difficult task of finding replace-ments to fill the gaps.

He further said neighbourhoodwatches in the Far South did an ex-cellent job in assisting police, buthe believed “civil society needed tostand by police”.

Homeowners to get their papersMONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

Homeowners in Ocean View are getting anew lease on life.This follows an initiative to assist resi-

dents living in Atlantic Heights to obtaintheir title deeds.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

FelicityPurchase explains theongoing issueis finally coming to an end as residents whohave lived in and owned these homes are be-ing assisted.She explains the City of Cape Town has

held the bonds for these properties for sever-al years but the properties were never trans-ferred due to faulty payments.

Last week interviews were done to estab-lish ownership and occupancy of more than90 homes in Atlantic Heights.During this time, officials discovered

there are 60 homes which were never trans-ferred to the owners. “There are also caseswhere the rightful owner isn’t living in thehouse due to death, divorce and other issues.In these cases the rightful owner such as thewife or child will have the property trans-ferred to them,” Purchase says.Commenting on themissed payments, she

says owners who earn less than R3 500 amonth would be required to pay R1 600 for

the transfer. Should they not be able to af-ford this amount, Purchase explains a subsi-dy will be used to assist them.In cases where the owner earnsmore than

R3 500 they would have to pay for the trans-fer, the administration and the insurance.In addition, owners who had agreements

with the City prior to 2005 will not have topay back the outstanding balance on theirhomes as it has been written off. For agree-ments after this time, theCitywill nowdrawup new arrangements to help the ownerscatch up on their payments.Patrick Josephs, deputy chairperson of

the Ocean View Civic Association, says theinitiative will result in a “big hallelujah inOcean View”.He says issues around title deeds have

been a problem as many homeowners didnot understand legal issues around homeownership. The initiatives are welcomed bythe association and Josephshas called for aneducation drive around building plans.“Many have made additions to their homesor erected other structures on their proper-ties without the necessary approvals andwehope this initiative could be followed by aneducation drive on building plans.”V What are your thoughts on this initiative?

HOUSING

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

The water supply at the Ama-khaya Ngoku housing develop-ment in Masiphumelele has

been restored temporarily.This follows a protest which broke

out at the South Peninsula Subcoun-cil offices in Fish Hoek on Friday 17October.Angry residents were protesting

against their water being cut due toan unpaid water bill of over R3.8m.At the time, subcouncil chairper-

son Felicity Purchase explained theresidents are from the AmakhayaNgoku housing project and were be-ing represented by a lawyer.She says theyproduceda letter sent

to the City of Cape Town managerabout the unpaid water bill.“They claim they did not receive a

response and the water was cut off[on Friday]morning. I am looking in-to the matter,” she said.Fish Hoek police attended the

scene as the protest is an illegal gath-ering.According to Bhekinkosi Mvovo,

chairperson of the board of Ama-khaya Ngoku, the water being cut offis a result of unpaid rent.He explains in the residents’ con-

tracts, they are required to pay R400rent over four years.But in recent months, they have

been encouraged by a small group tostop payments.“Since they haven’t been paying,

we have not been able to keep up theoperational costs and have fallen indebt,” he says.Mvovo claims the group who led

the protest are the same people whohave chased the board out of their of-fices and made false allegations.This is based on a claim that funds

were being stolen by amember of theboard.He further says after an investiga-

tions, the board found the allegationswere untrue.Mvovo explains the housing devel-

opment was financed by internation-al funding and government housingsubsidies.He says the board has managed to

raise an additional R4.2m for the nextphase of the project and residentswere demanding this be used to settlethe water bill.Purchase confirms the City is

aware of plans for an additionalphase of Amakhaya Ngoku housing.Mvovo says this money cannot be

used for operational expenses andhas been invested for the next phase.“The water bill is paid from the

rentmoney.We struckadealwith theCity to at least pay them R10 000 amonth,” he explains.This, however, has not happened

as the current rent collected amounts

to less than R5 000 a month.In a letter to the board dated Mon-

day 13 October, the City informsthem the water will be cut.Mvovo says the board was

“chased” out of their offices inMasiphumelele.In a letter to the City, Mate Attor-

neys, acting on behalf of the resi-dents,wrote a letter to theCitywhichstates there were problems betweenbeneficiaries and the board.It says “matters reached boiling

point inApril”when residents learntabout the unpaid bill.The attorneys instructed the mu-

nicipality to reconnect thewater sup-ply by Thursday 16 October and fur-ther stated that more than 300 fami-lies were affected.Purchase says the water supply

has been restored but this will onlybe temporary.She further says they will liaise

with the board.Mvovo says the City “probably

didn’t get back to them because theyare not the board”.He says all residents signed con-

tracts in the beginning of thehousingdevelopment and understood thefour-year payment plan.“They have received two-bedroom

flats with various other things. Thewater bill was cut because they havenot being paying the rent,” he con-cludes.

Illegal liquoroutlets tackledMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Booze and noise battles in the Far Southhave hit an all-time high and warn-ings have been issued to illegal liquor

outlets.According to South Peninsula Subcoun-

cil chairperson Felicity Purchase this fol-lows complaints aboutnoise overweekendsin Masiphumelele.She explains in many cases people pur-

chase alcohol and then drink on the streetswhile music blares from their vehicles.Purchase says over the last year several

complaints have been made and Metro Po-lice and Law Enforcement officers under-took various operations informing peopleabout the bylawswhich prevent loudmusicand the consumption of alcohol in publicspaces.During a Law Enforcement operation on

Tuesday 23 September officers visited fourliquor outlets and at one establishment, inPokela Road, officers found the owner wasoperating without a liquor licence.Here they confiscated more than 1 000

bottles of beer.“We issued warnings to other establish-

ments informing them we will be keepinga close eye on liquor outlets and all estab-lishments trading without a licence will bedealt with,” she says.Purchase further explains that establish-

ments playing loud music without the nec-essarybusiness licenceswill have theirmu-sic equipment confiscated.This will be executed under the City of

Cape Town’s Streets, Public Places and thePrevention of Noise Nuisances Bylaw.Due to the impact of alcohol abuse the

subcouncil has takena firmstance onappli-cations to extend liquor trading hours.Councillor SimonLiell-Cock says theLiq-

uor Trading Hours Bylaw in conjunctionwith theWestern Cape Liquor Act is aimedat curbing alcohol abuse and tackling irre-sponsible trading.For this reason the subcouncil has denied

all applications to sell liquor on Sundays.However, there is one exception. Due to theamendments to the liquorbylaw,Liell-Cockexplains Sunday trade is only allowed inthe case of bona fide tourism businessessuch as wine farms.Many outlets in the Far South havemade

applications to also extend trading hoursfrom 18:00 to 20:00 in the week.As their motivation, liquor traders have

said that due to the time it takes for peopleto get home, many cannot purchase alcoholbefore 18:00.For this reason, Liell-Cock says the sub-

council has alsodecided to allowall applica-tions to extend trading hours in the weekfrom 18:00 to 19:00, giving traders an extrahour to accommodate their customers.Now he says many licensed traders have

raised concerns about customers going toillegal outlets. “For this reason we areclamping down on the illegal outlets. Thedecision by subcouncil was made to ensureequal trading opportunities among li-censed establishments,” he adds.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post” SMS your thoughts to 32516.

SIMON’S TOWN

Call made toreport stonethrowersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A squatter hurling stones in Simon’sTown is raising the ire ofmotoriststravelling along Main Road.

The alleged culprit – a woman who re-portedly lives on Navy-owned property– has been reported for flinging stonesat passingmotorists and damaging vehi-cles.At a recent community meeting, Dav-

id Erickson, vice-chairperson of the Si-mon’s Town Community Police Forum(CPF), said it is a concern as the safetyof motorists is being compromised.Erickson said the woman hides in

bushes on a strip of land along MainRoad between the intersections of RedHill and Dido Valley roads, predomi-nantly in the stretch between LowerNorth Battery and Blue Waters Close.“The stone throwing started many

months ago, possibly a year or more.This is traceable by the rocks and stonesthat mysteriously accumulate alongsidethe stretch of roadwhere thiswoman op-erates,” he explained.In recentweeks, Erickson said reports

indicated she is being assisted by aman.“The stones are thrown from the land-

ward side of the road, which is coveredin dense vegetation. The stone throwersduck down behind the bushes and arevirtually undetectable,” he said.Erickson informed neighbourhood

watches and residents that the womanwas taken for a psychological examina-tion at False Bay Hospital, where shewas found to be “normal”.Laughter could be heard when he add-

ed: “I’m considered to be normal, but Idon’t throw stones at vehicles”.Attendees questionedwhy police have

not taken action against the woman.In response Warrant Officer Shane

Cornelius from Simon’s Town PoliceStation said as no reports or complaintshave been made at the station, policecould not do much. “We urge residentswhohave experienced this to come to thestation and report it. Once there is a casewe can take action,” he said.Cornelius explained he has also

looked forher to determinehowhe couldassist but said she was difficult to trace.Erickson echoed his sentiments and

requested residents to come forwardandopen cases at the police station.V Have you had stones thrown at your vehicle?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

MortgageoriginationApplying for a home loan can be a timeconsuming and involved process, saysEngel & Völkers. Mortgage origina-tors can assist you in applying for ahome loan or building loan from thevarious major banks.

How Mortgage origination works:1. You sign an offer to purchase on

a property.2. The estate agent obtains informa-

tion from you regarding how yourhome would be financed.

3. The estate agent then forwardsthis information to a mortgage origi-nator.

4. The originator should then con-tact you with advice on what the differ-ent banks offer, such as home loan typeor home loan rate.

5. You then choose an option whichsuits your needs.

6. The originator submits the neces-sary documentation to the bank ofyour choice.

7. The originator follows up on theapplication process with the bank andshould keep you abreast of what is hap-pening at all times.

8. The originator confirms with you,the acceptance with the bank.

9. The originator informs you of allthe legal requirements and follows upthe process with the transferring andbond attorneys.

10. A mortgage originator cannotguarantee a home loan.

11. The service is free to buyers asthe originator is paid a fee once thehome loan is registered.

12. When dealing with an originatormake sure you don’t pay an origina-tion fee.

SECTIONAL TITLE

New rule for leviesIn a tough economic climate, South African

sectional title property owners may be onthe receiving end of special levies, over

and above general levies, following the pass-ing of the amended Prescribed ManagementRule 31.

In addition, many body corporates still donot know of resolutions that need to bepassed to ensure that levies are payable fromthe beginning of the financial year.

This is according to Carl Smit, MD ofSandak-Lewin Property Trust, who explainsthat the Prescribed Management Rule 31(4A), which allowed trustees to, at their dis-cretion, increase the levies charged by up to10% at the beginning of the financial year,was replaced by PMR 31 (4B), which now re-quires that levy increases form part of theproposed annual budget and be applied forand approved at an annual meeting.

The new rule also allows trustees fromtime to time, when necessary, to make spe-cial levies upon the owners, over and abovethose already provided for in the approvedbudget.

“Body corporates, specifically the trus-tees, are still under the impression that theymust continue to charge the same levies un-til the budget is approved at the annual meet-ing, not realising they need to pass a resolu-tion to charge the same levies or an in-creased levy in the form of a special levy toensure levies are due and payable by own-ers.”

If the body corporate is being managedcorrectly and guided by a professional man-agement company, he says, “then a budgetfor the next financial year should be dis-cussed at least a month before the currentfinancial year ends by the trustees and thatsame company should ensure that a resolu-tion is passed so that levies can be collected”.

Smit adds that all this entails is either around robin resolution where all trusteessign the resolution by correspondence or by

a meeting of the trustees where a quorumis present and the resolution is adopted – asimple matter that could save trustees andthe owners from major complications downthe line.

Smit is keen to discuss the following:V What the change means for local proper-

ty owners;V The changes that have been brought on

by the replacement of the Prescribed Man-agement Rule 31 (4A) with the PMR (4B);

V How many body corporates still do notknow of resolutions that need to be passedto ensure levies are payable from the begin-ning of the financial year;

V What these resolutions entail; andV The importance of trustees raising spe-

cial levies as an interim levy while waitingfor the budget to be approved, in order toavoid paying exorbitant unexpected costs ifand when the body corporate raises speciallevies

REPORT

Small is the new bigAccording to the latest Rode’s Report onthe SA Property Market, smaller hous-es are showing the strongest growth.

The report analyses FNB’s house price in-dices for different sizes of full and sectionaltitle homes and finds that the prices of small-er houses are not only accelerating faster,but are also showing stronger growth rela-tive to larger houses.Erwin Rode, property economist and CEO

ofRode&Associates, says theprevailing loweconomic growth environment and the un-certainty it brings to household finances, aswell as tight credit criteria of banks, mightbe forcing buyers to scale down – especiallyfirst-time buyers.Nevertheless, over the past year, a slight

softening in the credit standards of banksseems to have buoyed house prices in gener-

al, which explains why they are again show-ing growth slightly in excess of inflation.However, headwinds in the path of house

prices remain, for example, weak growth informal employment, waning growth inhousehold after-tax incomes and still highlevels of household debt, he says.What’s more, despite the bank’s decision

to keep interest rates steady at the Septem-ber meeting, the Monetary Policy Commit-tee remains of a view that interest rates willhave to normalise again.That the consumer is under unrelenting

stress is confirmed by residential rentalsthat, according to Rode’s research, havebeen growing at about half the inflation rate.Another key finding of the report was the

moderate growth in the market rentals ofoffice space.Rode says nationally, contracting employ-

ment in the service industries, coupled withlow business sentiment, continue to under-mine the demand for office space to rent. Theresult of this has been vacancy rates that areunable to drop and market rentals that areshowing sub-inflation growth.

In the second quarter of 2014, market rent-als for prime office space could – on a nation-al basis – only show yearly growth of about3%.Cape Town decentralised was the star per-

former, with its growth in market rentals of5%.In the reporting quarter, building costs

are expected to have shown growth of about4%, implying that Cape Town was also theonly region where real rentals were, albeitonly marginally, able to show growth.As for rental growth prospects, the under-

performance of the manufacturing and re-tail sectors of the economy does not bodewell for the demand for manufacturing andwarehouse space to rent. The likely outcomeof this will be continued modest growth inindustrial market rentals. –Property24

30 Simonstown Road

6 Highway Road

Fish Hoek or Visch Hoek appears on the earliest maps of the Cape. Fish Hoek beach was used on an informal basis for whaling and fishing but it was not until 1918 that is was laid out asa township. The first Crown Land in Fish Hoek was granted to Andries Bruins in 1818 which was sold several times before being bought by Hester Sophia De Kock in 1883. She latermarried Jacob Isaac de Villers who came to live with her on the farm. She started providing accommodation for people who wanted to stay in Fish Hoek. In her will she decreed that theland was to be sold off, and the first sale took place in 1918. E&OE Two of these properties have been sold by Seeff

which still boasts many of its original features of wooden ceilings, sash windows, wooden floors and a water storage tank in the back yard. The first registration ofthis property was to a LB Jacobsohn on the 9th March 1919. Sandra van der Merwe and Hazel Tappan, recently sold this property to a member one of the areas long standing families .

, a delightful thatch cottage with stone wall features, and wooden floors, was sold and transferred to JC Gohl on the 15th August in 1919. The property has recentlybeen updated in Victorian style with added an feature of a wooden veranda encompassing the delights of the vistas of the False Bay coast line. The current owner purchased thisproperty through Seeff a couple of years ago and it is currently back on the market.

Your SMSes. We live in Alcor Avenue and I’m appalledat the negative responses for the request forspeed bumps sent to People’s Post. To thoseexpressing ignorance towards our standagainst reckless and speeding drivers:school children use Alcor Avenue daily.They walk in the road three to four abreast.Not only are our kids at risk, but yours also.The tendency to turn your back on others’issues comes full circle when it suddenly af-fects you. Lets stand together for a cause thatwill allow our loved ones to be safe.

. Who cares what you think of residentsof Alcor Avenue? Residents of Alcor Avenuewill stand together anddig trenches. If Zumaandhis cronies can steal from the people andhis people destroy properties, why must wesit back and accept whatever is put beforeus? We are also getting tired of begging foraction when needed. Alcor resident

. Regarding the rise in cost of electricity:I really hope the silly idea of electrifiedChristmas decorations on roofs and in gar-dens over the festive season will stop thisyear. Margaret, Lakeside

. I amnot a cyclist, but have every sympa-thy for them as SouthAfrican drivers are re-garded as some of the worst in the world.

They have little or no respect for other roadusers.

. I’maconcerned resident of theRastafaricommunity in the mountain in Ocean View.The City of Cape Town is not concernedabout rubbish from this stonemasonryproject. The rubbish is dumpedon themoun-tain. Cameron

. I was one of the original stonemasonsand promised an accredited Seta certificateafter six months. It’s almost two years aftertraining started and we have not receivedthat which we were promised, but Level Acertificates. We also do not receive Level Awages – the guys still get R166 a day.

. I justwant to replyonbehalf of the stone-masons working on the Mountain ViewHousing Project. We were promised accred-ited Seta certificates, but got Level A certifi-cates. What is this Level A certificate? Arewe going to be paid as Level A stonemasonsor are we going to be paid the R166 we havebeen receiving?TheFrenchmanwas only onsite once.

about cellphone masts are a selfish mob. Webought property near Oatlands and havenever been able to use our cellphones.Whenmy wife had a heart attack, I had to drivetowards Simon’s Town before being able tocall an ambulance. How ridiculous that afewold fossils have somuchpower tomanip-ulate cellphone companies – or is the councilto blame? Peter Meyer

. Please get rid of the squatters. I fear formy and my children’s safety. They shouldnot be allowed to occupy private property.And our property values have decreased.Please do something or give advice as to howwe can sort out the problem.

. It’s so cool that we’ll be getting a properrank. Question is: who will benefit?

. We find it strange that People’s Post isalways full of improvements made by coun-cil in Masiphumelele, but hardly any im-provements are done in Ocean View. A taxirank is under construction and a survey ofrequirements is conducted. Masi residentsask and they get. Ocean View is neglected.Don’t forget, those residents did not ask tobe there – they were forced. But Masi peoplecame willingly from all corners of Africa.

. Regarding vandalism and theft: thesedays, thieves may spend time in prison.Meanwhile, the victimsmay still be withouttheir goods, yet they have to pay the taxesthat house and feed such criminals. Did you

know in ancient Israel therewere no prisonsas we know them today? A thief had tomakecompensation to the victim for what hadbeen stolen. In addition, the thief had tomake further payment, which varied ac-cording to a number of factors. The law backthen had the effect of protecting and recom-pensing the victim, andmade the thief workto pay for his crime, rather than sit in jail.EH Meyer, Simon’s Town

. Crime can be prevented by stoppingcriminals pushing supermarket trolleys.The trolleys are illegally taken from super-markets. They are then used by criminals topush their stolen goods around. Stop the sto-len trolleys and we’ll take a step in the rightdirection to prevent crime. No tolerance fortheft.

. To themanwho rides with his small sonon a motorbike off-road and in the streets inChebec Crescent without a helmet: what areyou thinking? Do you know how many col-lapsed mole hills are in that vlei area?Shame on you. Concerned, Sun Valley

. It is sad that we work so hard to haveour homes burgled and criminals just getaway every time. Dez

khosi (first on 24 points), Orlando Pirates(second; 14), Wits (third; 14) and Sundowns(fourth; 14) should they defeat Stars tomor-row.But the Capetonians’ track record

against the men from Mafikeng over thelast two seasons puts the visitors ahead.The last time Ajax were victors over Starswas in August 2012, when they won 4-1 at

Athlone Stadium.Their last three matches against Allan

Freese’s charges saw them suffer a 3-0 de-feat in May; 0-2 loss in December last year;and a 3-0 loss in February last year.But Stars have been strugglingwith their
