Questions about the water quality atFish Hoek Beach have arisen.Following an increase in E-coli lev-

els, officials from the City of CapeTown’s Department of Water and Sanitationsay stormwater outlets are being negativelyaffected.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase said the bacteria in thewater is a result of dirt bins being washedand the water entering drains.“The E-coli levels are not from sewerage,

but from the dirt being washed out of bins.There are harmful biodegradable productsbeing filtered into the stormwater system,which, in turn, are affecting the beach,” Pur-

chase said.Speaking during the subcouncil meeting

last week, Andrew Taylor from the City’swater and sanitation department confirmedsewerswere not the cause of the E-coli levelsand urged residents and businesses to notclean bins or food particles run into storm-water drains.“The system in Fish Hoek is old, but func-

tional. If the community wants Fish HoekBeach to be a Blue Flag beach they will haveto earn it,” he said.Purchase explained theBlue Flag status of

FishHoekBeachwas takenawaya fewyearsago after the City “spread out” the Blue Flagbeaches across the peninsula.According to the City’s website, Blue Flag

status indicates that beaches and marinasare clean, have adequate ablution facilities

and parking, are environmentally sound,are safe and secure to visit, and adhere tointernational safety and tourism standards.In Cape Town, there are eight Blue Flag

beaches: Bikini, Camps Bay, Clifton 4th,Llandudno, Mnandi, Muizenberg, Silwer-stroomstrand and Strandfontein beaches.Purchase said the stormwater outlet near

the lighthouse is mostly affected.She added officials will conduct monthly

tests to examine water quality.“This will reveal where the high concen-

trations of E-coli are. There are ways to de-termine the area where the water is beingaffected,” Purchase said.The cleaning of bins or draining food into

the stormwater system is illegal, shewarned.Purchase further suggested residents and

businesses drain the dirty water from binson grass or soil to prevent harm to thewater.Giving an update on the construction of

the Clovelly pump station, Brian Thompsonsaid building work is 70% complete.He said due to delays the project is expect-

ed to be completed in November.In her chairperson’s report, Purchase also

raised concerns about the low bacteriologi-cal pollution levels in the Fish Hoek wet-lands.“In an algal analysis, officials found the

presence of certain algae specieswhichhaveled to dogs who drink the water gettingsick,” she said“Until this is sorted, we ask that people

please do not let their dogs drink thewater.”V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Children’s charitycalls for heroesOrdinary people are being called upon tobecome everydayheroes for a creative newfundraising initiative, Challenges for Chil-dren.The campaign is the brainchild of Home

from Home, an NGO that sets up and runssmall, community-based foster homes forvulnerable children.Each home seeks to be a “normal house

in a normal street” with no more than sixchildren cared for bya fostermother or fos-ter parents.The children and foster parents are sup-

ported and supervised by Home fromHome, its full-time social workers and lo-cal community groups.The NGO currently runs 33 homes in the

province, with several more set to open incoming months.Challenges forChildren invites people to

make their sport and health-focused reso-lutions a part of the fundraising campaign.By achieving their objectives, the chal-lenges that many underprivileged chil-dren face are recognised – and money israised for a worthy cause.Pippa Shaper, Home from Home’s devel-

opment director, is leading by example.She completed her first half marathon re-cently, participating in the PeninsulaMar-athon in sweltering conditions.Shaper achieved a personal fitness goal

and raised over R12 000 for Challenges forChildren.“From equipping a new home, to pur-

chasing birthday gifts for the children inour care – every rand raised through thiscampaign makes a difference!” she says.The first step is to register atwww.home-

gories: cycling; running or walking; a nu-trition-focused weight-loss programmeand a yoga/pilates challenge.V To sign up for the Challenges for Children cam-paign, register via www.homefromhome.org.za/ orcontact Genevieve Train on 021 761 7251.

ROAD SAFETY: TAXI ASSOCIATION AND DEALERSHIP ENTER AGREEMENT

Safer public transport – at a steep priceTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Taxi drivers say safer minibuses arecoming at too steep a price.The newly-launched Impendulo taxi

is geared at creating the safest journey forpublic transport users as well as those be-hind the wheel.Translated to “the answer” in Zulu, the

Impendulo costs R306 900.It boasts seat belts on every seat, a smart

working cockpit, ABS brake assist and bal-anced layout which seats an equal amountof passengers on both sides.While the creators of this “newly im-

proved public transport model” feel it is theanswer to improving road safety, taxi driv-ers and owners feel the answer comes at asteep price.This initiative is a joint venture between

the South African National Taxi Counciland Group 1 Nissan.According to the agreement, the profits

from sales of the newNissanNV350 taxi willbe split equally. This will provide funds fortaxi owners to maintain their vehicles andalso pay their drivers better wages.Taxi owner JusticeMarobele says he is ec-

static about the features of the Impenduloand thinks all taxi owners would invest inthe minibus if the price were adjusted.“I met with some taxi owners last week

and we all feel that it is a lot of money tospend on new taxis. We don’t know howmuchwas spent onmanufacturing themini-bus, but if we could reach an agreement tolower the price it would be ideal,” he says.There aremany features of the Impendulo

that will improve the journey for both driv-ers and passengers, Marobele agrees.“It is better designed than the Quantum.

I think mechanically and safety-wise theyhave produced a good product. We just needa better price,” he maintains.Deputy chairperson of SANTACONazeem

Abdurahman says despite popular belief,the high and constantly rising costs of run-ning a taxi means the owners are left withextremely small profit margins.“Fuel, service and tyre costs are increas-

ing all the time. As a result, and in order tokeep the very small margin between income

and costs, the taxi drivers are under enor-mous pressure to carry as many passengersas they possibly can every day,” he says.“As we know, and from some tragic

events, this situationmeans that road safetyis sometimes compromised. We believe thatthis deal is a big step towards involving theindustry inhelping toaddress theprovince’scommuter safety crisis,” he says.“Group 1 Nissan is making a bold state-

ment on behalf of the industry and we ap-plaud the dealership for helping us meetsome of our biggest challenges in this way.”Provincial minister of transport Robin

Carlisle reminded all involved that it is es-sential that the taxi industry strengthens itsbonds with other associations.

“The roleplayers are leading an experi-ment that is hugely important to the taxi in-dustry,” he says.“Transparency will be key in the success

of this project. If this initiative fails it willbe difficult to convince other companies tocome on board in similar collaborations.”NissanGroup 1managing directorMarcel

Swanepoel says the only way that the taxiindustry can be empowered is to have theproper means to deal with their issues.“We’re very proud to have carved this deal.While it is a big step, it’s actually only thefirst small move towards helping the taxi in-dustry help more than a million people aday. It will help people rely upon amore sup-portive and safer taxi industry.”

INVITATION

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

The Docke family in Noordhoek canbreathe a sigh of relief as the controver-sy over their horse stables has come to

an end.This comes after their application to have

their farm rezoned was approved by theSouth Peninsula Subcouncil last week.

Prior to the meeting, one of the objectorssent a lawyer’s letter asking for the applica-tion to be deferred to the City of Cape Town’sSpatial Planning, Environmental and LandUse Management (Spelum).

The letter read by subcouncil chairpersonFelicity Purchase questioned the impartiali-ty of the councillors, stated the objector isout of the country and asked that the itembe withdrawn from the agenda.

The objectors requested their lawyer to bepresent while the item was being heard, butafter receiving word from him that he wasunable to attend, councillors sought advicefrom City of Cape Town speaker Dirk Smit.

“We were told that we would be allowedto make a ruling on the application. The cor-rection of the zoning was a mistake made bythe City and postponing this item will se-verely prejudice the applicants,” Purchasesaid.

According to the report the farm was pre-viously zoned as amenities under the oldzoning scheme and consisted of riding sta-bles.

Under the new Cape Town Zoning Scheme,all properties zoned as amenities were con-verted to Limited Use and objections aboutthe presence of stables were raised by twoneighbours in this regard.

In the application, the Docke’s state thebulk of their property has been used for agri-

culture since 1853. The report states the cur-rent owners have been farming there since1975.

According to the objector’s report, boththe old and new zoning schemes do not allowfor the commercialisation of a propertyzoned as amenities of limited use.

It says the illegal stables cannot be regu-larised without due process. “This requires

the correct zoning permitting the unauthor-ised uses be put in place,” it reads.

The application, which received a joint ob-jection from two neighbours, also receivedmore than 100 letters of support.

An official from the City’s planning de-partment said their recommendation wasthat a portion of the land be zoned agricul-tural and another as limited use.

Councillor Simon Leill-Cock said the landwas always used for agricultural purposesand proposed the zoning be corrected andthe entire farm be zoned agricultural.

The proposal was supported by council-lors who voted in favour of the farm beingrezoned agricultural.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1

Body art on show at annual expoLOUISA STEYL@lounotes

Prepare for an ink fest of note thisweekendat the Cape Tattoo Expo.Now in its sixth year, the festival that

showcases all aspects of tattoo culture hasbecome a staple on local calendars.It was from wanting to bring her over-

seas convention experiences home thatManuelaGray, ofWildfireTattoos, decidedto start the Cape Tattoo Expo.“There was no platform to promote our

industry at that level at all,” she says.“Soaftermeeting a lot of awesome tattoo-

ers around the world and convincing themto come to Cape Town, the first interna-tional Cape Town convention was born.”This year’s expo will run from 28 Febru-

ary to 2 March at the Cape Town City Hall.Apart from the local and international

tattoo artists who will be showcasing theirwork, attendees can also look forward toa “Victorian Oddities” themed art exhibi-tion and live entertainment on the Satur-day night.“The idea of the expo is to provide the

public with an environment where theycan get tattooed by great artists of theirchoosing,” Gray explains.“It’s also a platform for tattoo artists to

showcase their artistry, skill, and creativi-ty in an open and social environment andfor the public to see how varied andevolved the industry has become.”

Gray believes that the convention hashelped remove some of the stigmas aroundtattoos.“The event is of a very high standard,

which of course helps to change percep-tions,” she explains.“But overall the stigmas are pretty out-

dated. We are living in a different worldnow, and personal expression is encour-aged.”Gray says the traditional style of tattoos

is currently very popular.Should you consider getting inked, she

advises: “Do your research on artists, ide-as and sterilisation.”There will also be a ‘tattoo-athon’ over

the coming months in aid of the CHOCChildhood Cancer Foundation of SA.“The same good quality tattoos being

done by awesomely talented artists fromaround the world,” is what Gray says expofans can expect this year.A “killer” art exhibition, showcasing a

book by Queen’s Brian May, and a nightof rocking to topmusicians are other high-lights she lists.V Tickets cost R100 per day or R250 for the weekend.Book through www.quicket.co.za. Weekend passesinclude free entry to the live music show on Saturdaynight.V Doors open at 17:00 on Friday and at 11:00 on Sat-urday and Sunday.V For more information on the tattoo expo andevents on the weekend visit www.capetattoocon-vention.co.za.

Wheelscome offWith the constantly rising fuel costs,

public transport is the cheapestmeans of travelling in the province.

Commuters travel via train, taxi and busdaily, but gripe that is is unreliable and notalways the safest means of getting around.Unreliable public transport also negative-

ly affects the economy and the work force.People’s Post readers share their thoughts

on what is needed to turn things around.

COLIN PHILANDER feels public transport can beimproved. “It’s easier for me to travel to work bytrain, but they need to upgrade it and create bet­ter ventilation. Windows don’t open halfway andthere are so many people squashed in a carriage.”

CARLA WILSON does not take public transport atall. “I travel with my own car daily because I don’tthink public transport is safe. I would rather paya lot of money for petrol for my car.”

ZAMA SIMBOSINI says he doesn’t have his owncar and is forced to use public transport. “I’m un­employed so I can’t afford a car. I use the trainbut it is very unreliable. The trains are alwaysfull and regularly delayed.”

COLLEEN STARKE says she does occasionally usepublic transport. “ But I don’t like taking a taxibecause the drivers don’t care for others on theroad. I don’t think government cares enough toimprove the public transport system either.”

SCHALK LOMBARD takes the train occasionallywhen he doesn’t have a lift to get to work. “Trainsare cheaper but not reliable. They come late orsometimes they don’t even pitch.”

DANIEL BOONZAAIER occasionally uses publictransport, but is unimpressed with the service. “Idon’t take the train every day as it’s always full.If I had the money I would travel by car everyday.”

LIESL AVONTUUR says she only makes use of pub­lic transport when push comes to shove. “I usuallydrive to work but petrol prices continue to in­crease. Public transport is cheap and convenient,but then I’d be faced with overloaded vehicles.”

PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYThursday, 27 February 2014 NEWS 5KALK BAY: ALLOCATION PROCESS REVISITED

Probe into fishing rightsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A plea on behalf of fishermenfrom faith leaders acrossCape Town was handed to Ti-

na Joemat-Pettersson, nationalminister for Agriculture, Forestryand Fisheries this week.The plea, written by religious

heads from Kalk Bay, Hout Bayand Plumstead, asks the ministerto consider the role of heritage inthe granting of fishing rights.Joemat-Pettersson announced

the Department of Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries (Daff) willlaunch an audit into the FishingRights Allocation Process (Frap).She made the announcement

during a press conference on Sun-day, where fishermen gatheredoutside the Holy Trinity AnglicanChurch in Kalk Bay.Joemat-Pettersson said follow-

ing the concerns raisedby line fish-ermenregarding theFrap, themin-istry has appointed Harris NupenMolebatsi Attorneys to advise onthe appeals process.“They will undertake an urgent

independent audit of the rights al-location process to ensure it wascompliant with all relevant poli-cies and legislation. They haveconsiderable experience in thefisheries sector and in the field ofadministrative law. Theywill com-mence work immediately,” shesaid.Fishermen gathered outside the

church and waited for her to leavethe venue.Here crewmen made an appeal

for Daff to take note of their con-cerns.Fishermen associations said

they were not impressed and saidtwo months was not enough time.According to the appeal, Kalk BayHarbour is the last harbour wheretraditional wooden-hulled fishingboats can be found.“They represent a history that is

fast disappearing,” it states.It further says there needs to be

a policy which gives recognition toheritage, history and tradition.

The department says 3490 appli-cation rights across all fishing sec-torswere received and 593 granted.In the traditional linefish sector,

therewere 1566 applications, whileonly 215 could be approved.Commenting on the Frap, Joe-

mat-Pettersson said because manydid not receive quotas, they willprotest.“People must accept that is the

nature of rights over a limited re-source, as we do our best to sustainour fishing stocks for future gener-

ations,” she said.In addition to the audit, Daff has

extended the deadline for appealsto April. “This will also mean anextension to the interim relief pro-vided to those who previously heldfishing rights,” Joemat-Petterssonexplained.Daffwill also embarkona “listening exercise and commu-nications campaign”.This, she said, will give people

who have grounds to appeal an op-portunity to speak to Daff directlybefore the new cut-off date.

South African United FishingForum (Sauff) chairperson PedroGarcia says the extension wouldmake no difference. “The auditwon’t make a difference either.The heritage of fishermen shouldhave been part of the Frap criteriain the first place,” he says.V If you have enquiries about the FishingRights Allocations Process, phone(021) 402 3576.V Share your thoughts on fishing rights.Starting with the word “Post” SMS yourcomments to 32516.

CHRONIC PATIENTS: STUDY REVEALS ACCESS TO MEDICATION

Living hope for sick in Far SouthMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

With the effective dispensary of med-ication, patients suffering fromchronic illnesses in the Far South

are receiving everything they need to treattheir illnesses.A recent study by a group of students

from the University of Cape TownMedicalSchool reveals the successes in the publichealth sector across communities.While completing their public health

block at Living Hope, the group say theywere pleasantly surprised to see theprogress made in the Far South.The study, conducted last month, fo-

cused on home-bound patients inMasiphumelele, Capricorn and OceanView.There were 95 patients receiving care

from Living Care, a division of LivingHope which provides health services in-cluding home-based palliative care andcommunity-based support groups, duringthe period.Patients below the age of 18 and those

physically and psychologically unable toprovide informed consent were excludedfrom the study.In total, 88 patients were interviewed.

There were 21 from Masiphumelele, 24from Capricorn and 43 from Ocean View.Student Sobhaka Chrisenduth says they

investigated the circumstances which af-fected patients not having access to theirmedication.

“We were surprised by the results. Wefound that 94% of the 88 patients inter-viewed had no problems getting their med-

ication,” she says.Chrisenduth further explains that, of

this total, patients in Ocean View had the

highest rate of access (100%) followed byMasiphumelele (95%) and Capricorn(83%).The grouphas attributed this to the short

distance patients in Ocean View andMasiphumelele have to walk to get theirmedication.However, patients in Capricorn are not

as fortunate.Here the study reveals only 12% were

able to walk to the Retreat Day Hospital,while 88% relied on motorised transport.Student Nicholas Darch says other is-

sues such as waiting times affected the sta-tistics.The study reveals patients from Capri-

corn waited in line for more than fourhours for their medication, while patientsin Masiphumelele and Ocean View waitedup to one hour.“Itwas a statistic that really stood out for

us.When you compare the three communi-ties, you find that patients from the FarSouth are better off because these dispen-saries cater directly to these communi-ties,” he says.Darch adds the wide area covered by Re-

treat Day Hospital meant more patientsand longer lines.StudentLeratoMasenya saysworking in

the Far South has shown how the publichealth sector could be improved by non-governmental organisations.“Living Hope has shown how effective

this partnership can be and I think it’s amodel that could work in other communi-ties across the country,” she says.

An Ocean View man appeared in the Si-mon’s Town Magistrate’s Court lastweek after he tried to burn down his

brother’s home.Sitting in the lounge of a relative, Rashied

Arendse and his partner Bilquees Jenkinshold their six-month-old son and tell theirstory of horror.

The couple were living in a wendy housein Canary Street when, after a fight withArendse’ brother, the couple and their chil-dren nearly died.

Arendse says he returned home and“walked into an argument”. “My brotherand Bilquees were fighting and he demand-ed we leave the property,” he says.

The couple refused to do so and went intotheir dwelling when they heard a loud bang.

Jenkins says they saw the brother throw-

ing bricks at their dwelling.“Some of the bricks came through the win-

dow and nearly hit our children. So I got mychildren and escaped,” she says.

While his family escaped, Arendse stayedbehind to gather their valuables.

“I was looking for our identity documents,my son’s school bag and other belongingswhen I smelt something burning,” Arendsesays.

Jenkins says the brother started burninga broken plastic bucket which he used to settheir home alight.

“I tried to kill the fire, but he threatenedto hit me and I backed off. I ran away andgot somebody to call the police,” she says.

Meanwhile, Arendse was trapped insidethe burning house looking for a way to es-cape.

Without the knowledge of onlookers,Arendse escaped. His brother was later ar-rested.

Ocean View police confirm the in-cident, but cannot explain why thecharge is arson and not attemptedmurder.

The couple are undergoing coun-selling at the station’s victim sup-port room, where counsellors arehelping them deal with the traumaand rebuild their lives.

Counsellors are appealing for do-nations of building materials for thecouple.

They have received permission tobuild a shack on the grounds of aproperty owned by a relative.V If you would like to help, call the OceanView Victim Support Room on(021) 783 8320 from 10:00 to 12:00 andfrom 14:00 to 16:00.

Bargain home:be on the alertBuying a “fixer-upper” can save youmoney, and possibly put you in a pre-ferred location less than you thought.This is according to Shaun Rade-

meyer, CEO of a mortgage originator.And, he says, they are definitely

worth looking at because it is muchbetter to purchase the worst home ina good neighbourhood than to buy thebest home in a bad area.But Rademeyer cautions that you

need to be especially careful when youconsider buying a “bargain” home, be-cause you could easily end up havingto deal with much more renovationand repair work than you thought.“If the property is simply ‘tired’, it

may take only a coat of paint, somemodern fixtures and fittings and somelandscaping to bring it up to the stand-ard of the surrounding homes and in-crease its value.“But run-down properties often re-

quire quite a lot more than that, andpotential buyers would be well-ad-vised to have the ‘bargain’ propertythey are thinking of buying thorough-ly inspected by a professional beforethey sign an offer to purchase.”Once you have the inspector’s re-

port, he says, it will be much easier tobe realistic about what it will reallycost to renovate the home properly,and then to consult with an experi-enced estate agent to work out wheth-er this expenditure would mean over-capitalising for the area.“Buyers usually find it is not worth

taking on a major renovation if theirplan is to complete it and re-sellwithintwo or three years. You need to live ina renovated home for an extended pe-riod ... to recoup your purchase priceand renovation expenditure.”

PROPERTY INDUSTRY: NEW ERA FOR HARCOURTS

Harcourts enhancesit rental businessAdvertorial: Harcourts Maynard Bur-

goyne in Fish Hoek has rebranded theRentals Division under the Harcourts

RentalsDotCom banner.This brings a number of key business and

operating benefits. Under RentalsDotComthe office will introduce System enhancersthat will assist in managing the growingportfolio and in turn bring information ben-efits to both the landlord and the tenant.The Rental Management System, which

integrates the back office aspects with web-based systems, allows for easy work flowand prompt access to information. The sys-temprovides for uniform leasemanagementfrom new leases through to renewals allow-ing the agents to process quickly and thor-oughly.It also allows for efficient planning of re-

newals and advance communications withtenants and landlords, which in turn givesthem the ability to plan accordingly.The system also caters for property man-

agement, once again combining key ele-ments of inspections, defect history andmaintenance of the properties.At the front end of the system, the tenant

application process and tenant procurementare covered, to ensure no steps are missedin this vital up front aspect.This Rental management System com-

bines with the Tenant Profile Network sys-tem, which is linked in via the internet toprovide a credit check/history of tenant ap-plications.To further enhance the RDC Rental Pack-

age, the system is linked into the PaypropFinancial System which gives the landlord

and tenant peace of mind in the most impor-tant aspect of financial management. Pay-prop allows for full audit trails of tenants,utilities and landlords payments.The Payprop system also holds the depos-

its in trust on behalf of the tenant.“The property rentals business is essen-

tially a simple business of obtaining proper-ties, finding the right tenants, placing thetenants and managing the landlord and ten-ant during the lease period,” says LisaDewey.She comments further: “The hard bit is

SECTIONAL TITLE: ‘RIGHT TO EXTEND’

What to look out forW hen a new sectional title (ST)

complex is launched, the develop-er can elect to build fewer units

than may be allowed on the site, and re-serve the right, for a certain period, to de-velop the rest at a later stage.This, says a statement, is known as a

“Section 25 right to extend”, and thosebuying homes in both newand establishedST schemes should always check, beforesigning an agreement of sale, to see if sucha right exists – andwhen it is due to expire,says Berry Everitt, managing director ofan international property group.Writing in the latest Property Signposts

newsletter, he notes that the Sectional Ti-tles Act does set out very strict conditionsunder which a developer can exercise aSection 25 right.Among other requirements the develop-

er must:V Reserve the right to extend at the same

time as making application to register theoriginal sectional plan;

V Specify the timeframe within whichthe extra sections could be built;

V State exactly howmany extra sectionswill be built;

V Show where and how they will bebuilt;

V Show the size of those sections and theeffect that they will have on the existingparticipation quotas; and

V Show the external appearance of thenew sections.“The Act also stipulates that after the

original body corporate has been estab-lished, the developer cannot alter any ofthe above specifications without the con-sent of every single member of that bodycorporate,” says Everitt.And to further protect buyers and own-

ers, he explains, the Act also requires that

for as long as the right to extend lasts, eve-ry new purchaser must be made aware, inwriting, of that right, failing which thebuyer is entitled at any time to cancel thesale.“The reason for this is that the effects

of a developer deciding to exercise hisright to extend could be very significantfor existing owners in both personal andfinancial terms.“Imagine, for example, the building dust

and mess that a well-settled communitymight have to endure if builders were tomove back on site. Or the shock when you

realise a new building is about to obscurethe lovely view that is one of your home’sbest features. Or the distress when you re-alise that a new floor of units is about tobe added above your top-floor flat.”Meanwhile, he says, it is worth noting

that reserving the right to extenda schemeonanundevelopedportionof landdoesnotconfer ownershipof that landonadevelop-er.Rather, the land forms part of the com-

mon property and is owned in undividedshares by the members of the body corpo-rate.

FINE PRINT: When buying at a sectional title complex, familiarise yourself with the ‘rightto extend’ clause in the contract. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES

Weigh up cost ofsecurity measuresIt usually costs just a few hundred rand amonth to help pay for measures to increaseneighbourhood security, such as guardedbooms, cameras or dedicated security pa-trols, and this is a small price to pay if youconsider how such measures protect homevalues as well as lives and property.So says Jan Davel, managing director of

an estate agency group.Davel notes that in the past year, prices

in limited-access areas and those known tohave active community security measuresin place have risen by as much as 25%, com-pared with an average national house priceincrease of around 9%.“Security is without doubt the number

-one concern for most current homebuyers,and those who would prefer not to live in asectional title complex or a gated estate areseemingly prepared to pay quite a premiumnow to live in suburbs where a strong resi-dents’ or ratepayers’ association has suc-cessfully instituted neighbourhood securitymeasures,” he says.Statistics from property data company

Lightstone show, for example, that the aver-age home price in the fenced-off Pretoriasuburb of Wapadrand has risen by 13% inthepast year,while that inneighbouringDieWilgers has remained unchanged from 2012.“And in Menlo Park, where the compre-

hensive security initiative instituted sever-al years ago by the ratepayers’ associationis well supported by residents, the averagehome price has risen 25%, compared with13% in neighbouring Brooklyn.”Consequently, he says, those who already

live in a secure suburb should not begrudgethe cost of contributing to initiatives to keepit that way.“The more families that support such

measures, the lower the cost for eachof them– and in any case, the amount spent is boundto be much less than the cost of selling upand buying a new home in a security estateto achieve the same end.”

Shortly after the advent of democracy, South Africa’s bor-ders were turned much more into turnstiles and the flood-gates were opened for foreigners.This was facilitated in no small measure by the words,paraphrased, by the late NelsonMandelawho told theWest-ern world in no uncertain terms he would choose hisfriends.Thousands of true refugees risked life and limb to crosscrocodile-infested waters to seek safety in this land of milkand honey.Manymore flock across our borders for jobs, while othersflee from oppressive governments who hound them for po-litical, religious or tribal reasons.People who once were friends and even intermarried sud-denly find themselves at opposite ends of political and reli-gious spectrum. These relationships are often cut short bya hand wielding a gun or a machete.In parts of Africa, as on other continents, sexual orienta-tion is no longer a private matter.In some countries sexual relations between same-genderparties are outlawedand lawsare being introduced to crimi-nalise people who know, but don’t tell.South Africa has become a safe haven for many refugees,immigrants and people with nowhere to call home. Or isit? And how does this bode for born and bred South Afri-cans? In the words of home affairs minister Naledi Pandor,the country’s progressive law and a failure to stem the tideof illegal migrants from working in SA is a “challenge”.In short, she says, our country’s asylum system is beingabused.To break the neck of this abuse, Pandor aims to make rec-ommendations which would seek to redress this anomaly.On the one hand is the question of jobs being taken awayfrom locals. On the other the abuse by locals towards for-eigners through low wages and other violations.Some foreigners have escaped one stick in the hand of thepowerful for another. Not to mention the nastiness of xeno-phobia which fires the pyre of human indecency.SA must take a stand.

Glencairn: safety concernsI would like to add to some of the concernsregarding people living in the bushes nearto the Glencairn Railway Station.We live in Hopkirk Way, one road backfrom the area in question, and almost direct-ly in line with the dense bushes where thepeople are supposed to be living.Frequently in the last couple ofmonthswehave heard loud voices coming from this ar-ea and sometimes even very angry shoutingas though there is fighting going on.One evening, about two weeks ago, whileit was still light, I saw a young couple pullup in their car and go down to the rock pool(the one closer to Simon’s Town), and actual-ly feared for their safety as there had againbeen horrible loud shouting and arguingjust minutes before that.Iwaswonderingwhether to call the police,when the couple quickly came back up andgot in their car and left, which I was verythankful for as the arguing did not sound at

all friendly.The trains also often sound their sirensmore frequently when passing this section– where people cross over to go to the rockpool – but these sirenwarnings happen laterwhen there is nobody at the pool, whichmight indicate that there are people aroundthe railway line.We have also experienced an increase incrime, with a motorcar being stolen in ourstreet .Wehavehadno serious incidents likethis in all the two years that we have livedhere and maybe it is not linked, but we donot know for sure.Thankfully we are moving to a quieter ar-ea andwhileweareverymindful of the terri-ble plight of homeless people, it would alsobe very sad to see this beautiful stretch ofthe False Bay being destroyed by informalsettlements.DOREEN CARRINGTON,EMAIL

Safer optionfor bicyclesI refer to Robin Day’s letter (“We need a safeplace to park bicycles ”,People’s Post, 13 Feb-ruary).I agree with him that there are no securebicycle parking facilities in the village.If the City of Cape Town were to agree toputting up bicycle stands, I would suggestthat they bought in Sheffield bike stands or“toast-rack” stands to which the frame canbe locked securely, and not the “wheel bend-ers” which are provided at the civic centreand Longbeach Mall.Manymodern bicycles have quick releasewheel nuts, thus enabling the more expen-sive frame to be stolen, leaving a useless(and possibly bent) wheel behind.In addition, if cycle storage facilities wereprovided, more people may be encouragedto travel the short distance to town on thebicycle, thus savingpetrol and reducing con-gestion in town.The reduced traffic on the roads may en-courage more people to cycle.Many cars often only hold one passenger.The space of one car’s parking space canhold about six Sheffield bicycle stands.This equates to 12 secure bicycles.

C PROSSER,FISH HOEK

Road widening in Noordhoek explainedLast year theCity of CapeTown spent a largesumof ratepayers’money changing the roadmarkings at the robots opposite the King ofKingsChurch andwidening the road just be-fore the turn-off to Noordhoek.Shortly after passing the mall turn-off ro-bots, two lanes of traffic converge into oneand this right on top of the left turn toNoord-hoek. If the idea was to assist traffic flowand/or safety issues council failed dismally.L. VAN MINNEN,FISH HOEKBrett Herron, Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, responds: I want to thank Mr Van Min-nen for taking the time to write.The road was not widened to create a sliplane into Noordhoek Main Road. The objec-tive of the widening of Ou Kaapse Weg, be-tween Buller Louw Drive and NoordhoekMain Road, was for capacity improvementto create an additional northbound lane toenable double the number of vehicles, north-bound, through each green phase at this in-tersection.The full length was widened in anticipa-tion of the Noordhoek Main Road/Ou

Kaapse Weg intersection being improved,and possibly signalised in the near future.A temporary taper was introduced usingdelineators, which forces those turning leftto slow down into a single lane thereby cre-ating a gap for vehicles leaving NoordhoekMain Road and turning right to do so.A dedicated left turn into NoordhoekMain Road, implemented prior to signals orintersection improvements, would result ina continuous straight-through movementupOuKaapseWeg, thus significantly reduc-ing opportunities for right turns leavingNoordhoek Main Road.This would impact significantly on thoseturning left because there is only room forabout two cars in each lane currently onNoordhoek Main Road.A more physical barrier was considered,however delineators were used in the hopethat the imminent redevelopment of the SunValley Mall may result in the intersectionof Ou Kaapse Weg and Noordhoek MainRoadbeing improved sooner rather than lat-er. Should this not happen in the foreseeablefuture, the construction of temporary kerbson their backs will replace the delineators.

Thank you foryour kindnessTo Eileen Smith, thank you for the kindnessand compassion you have shown to our kit-ten, Miss Lily, whowas the victim of this hitand run.Miss Lily was born in January last yearand we adopted her from Tears in April.We were devastated when Tears phonedon Wednesday 12 February to inform us ofthe death of our beautiful kitten.Our family would like to thank you verysincerely for the kindness and compassionyou showed to Miss Lily in her final mo-ments.She is sorely missed by us all.

Election: call fortolerance, calmTolerance and calm [should be practised]during electioneering, reminding SouthAfricans of the need to actwith dignity andrestraint.

The Salvation Army calls on voters touse the period prior to the elections onWednesday 7 May to prayerfully considerhow their vote can help build a just and eq-uitable society for all.

Tensions are already rising in the coun-try around the upcoming elections. We aredisturbed at the rising number of servicedelivery protests that degenerate into vio-lence, as it would be deeply distressing ifelectioneering ended up with people beingkilled or injured and property damaged.

As electioneering in the country gets in-to gear with the announcement by thepresident of the election date, we remindall voters they have a responsibility to ex-ercise their votes for the good of their fel-low citizens.

This means all citizens who are eligibleto vote should register to do so and usetheir right to vote.

SouthAfrica has travelled a long and dif-ficult road to get to the point where every-one now has the democratic right to casttheir vote.

Failing to register as a voter, or with-holding your vote, is to be uncaring aboutyour future, that of your children, or thatof your fellow citizens.

In spite of the progress made over thelast 20 years since the first democratic elec-tions, many underprivileged South Afri-cans still lack their basic human right todecent housing, water, education, healthcare, safety and security, as is evidencedby the many service delivery protests weare witnessing at this time.

In getting ready to place our crosses onthe ballot box, we need to prayerfully con-sider which of our political parties is mostable to bring about the improvements inthe lives of the underprivileged in our soci-ety.

ManyChristianswoulduse the period inthe run-up to Easter to reflect on theirlives, and that some would fast during thisperiod as a way of listening to God’s voice.As we approach the elections, we need tolisten carefully to God’s voice as to howweshould vote.MAJOR CARIN HOLMESTHE SALVATION ARMY

FIREFLY: A PERSONAL REFLECTION

PJ Powers backfrom darknessLOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

South African icon PJ Powers is showingfans another side in her new productionFirefly, currently on at the Roxy Review

Bar.“In order to see your firefly, there has to

be darkness,” PJ says.“I’m a recovering alcoholic, and it was in

that blackness that I saw my firefly.”Her addiction is one of the very personal

parts of her journey that PJ explores in herintimate new show.

“Cape Town is an area that I haven’t ex-posed myself to for a couple of years and theRoxy is a fabulous theatre,” PJ says of herdecision to stage the show in the MotherCity.

“Also, I am very nervous of smaller audi-ences. A sea of 10 000 people is much morecomfortable for me. “

Exposed“I just decided if I was going to expose my-

self in the way that I am, I wanted to do itin a more comfortable environment than Jo-hannesburg,” PJ says.

While busy with the production, she is al-so in the process of writing a book with Mari-anne Tham as a ghost-writer, which is an-other reason for her Cape Town visit.

She had been flying to and fro between Jo-hannesburg and Cape Town so far, but PJsays: “The truth is, the writing has to bedone by the end of March.”

ComedianOn her days off, PJ is spending time with

Tham working on the book, which is the sto-ry of her life.

“But it’s not just the story of my life,” PJsays. “It’s a story about South Africa. It’sabout this young, white, apolitical, middle-class human being who suddenly was em-braced by the whole of Africa.”

PJ also discovered her inner comedianalong the way.

In her fifth year of sobriety, PJ says shehas watched how the “disease of addictionhas pulled many families apart and is busypulling our country to pieces”.

This is what made her want to tell her sto-ry.

Her relationship with the late NelsonMandela, which she has never spoken aboutbefore, is one of the highs that PJ looks atin Firely.

“I was very lucky to have a close relation-ship with him and he was a constant guide,”she says.

He even wrote to her from prison.The lows she talks about is where her ca-

reer “hit the skids”. “I lost my house, lostmy car, lost every material possession I hadand had to start again,” she says.

“Most of my show is done with quite self-deprecating humour. I don’t mind laughingat myself.”

Last year, PJ released a new album calledDestiny.“I do believe that we create our own desti-nies. I think that our thoughts become ourdestinies. Those songs came from pain andhurt and happiness,” she says.

From a lyrical point of view, each song is“like a little book”.

“Lyrics are very important to me,” PJ ex-plains. “Each song has a whole story.”Firefly includes PJ’s well-loved hits along

with some of the songs off her new album.The show runs at GrandWest’s Roxy ReviewBar from Wednesdays to Sundays until 29March.V Tickets for the show cost R90 and are available atComputicket.V PJ’s new book will be published by Penguin and isset to be released in August.V For more information about PJ Powers, visit her web-site at www.pjpowers.co.za.V Five readers can each win double tickets to watchPJ Powers’ show, Firefly, on 20 March.

Karateka to live their dreamsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Stern instructions, shoutedresponses and the sound offists and feet slamming into

leather pads echo across the Crys-tal High School hall.The noise from the building can

be heard metres away and its jar-ring once inside.The Hanover Park school may

bemorewell-knownasa target fortheft and vandalism, but everyevening it morphs into one ofCape Town’s toughest martialarts schools: the Shinky-okushinkai Dojo.Lead by sensei Deen Daniels,

the dojo has grown into one of thepeninsula’s top schools in the Ky-okushin style of karate.In 2012, four of Daniels’ stu-

dents participated in an interna-tional tournament on Reunion Is-land, bringing home two goldmedals, one silver and a fourthplace ahead of fighters from fiveother countries.Now nine of the dojo’s best

could be travelling to Japan totrade blows with the best youngfull-contact fighters in the world,at the Karate Dream Cup in To-kyo.“The Dream Cup is an interna-

tional tournament held every sec-ond year; what makes it special isthat almost every other nation af-filiated to theWorldKarateFeder-ation will participate,” Danielssays.“I selected only kids who per-

formed well at the Shinky-okushinkai National Champion-ships in Rustenburg last August;they placed first or second.”An intense desire to succeed

seems to permeate from the entireclub, so it’s no surprise the dojois packed with national and pro-vincial champions.The secret behind the success is

hard work and dedication.The students train four to five

times a week, for between 90 min-utes and two hours at a punishingintensity.Surrey Estate’s Mikhail Hicks

joined the club just last year aftertaking a four year break from ka-rate.He went on to win the under-

55kg category in under-17 agegroup at the national champion-ships, was selected for the DreamCup team and received his blackbelt just two weeks ago.“It was tough at first, because

your body has to go through allthe different changes again,” the17-year-old says.“You have to do physical train-

ing and become conditioned. Itwas hard, but as you progress yousee that you can withstand it andhandle more. All my life I havebeen working to reach my blackbelt and to represent my countryat a world tournament in Japan.I amproud that I have been select-ed to go.”The dojo’s achievements fly in

the face of the adversity the stu-dents face in Hanover Park everyday.

Daniels and his students wererecently trapped inside the hallfor almost an hour, as theywaitedfor gang shootings to abate.He has since been forced to end

classes 30 minutes earlier, inhopes of ensuring his student’ssafety.Daniels believes karate is an oa-

sis for his students, away from thetroubles in the area.The fighters are looking for do-

nations towards theR20 000 it willcost each student to participate inthe tournament.“This is an opportunity for a

child that lives in a gang-infestedcommunity to represent theircountry in sport they chose to do,”he says.“They could choose to do drugs

or run aroundwith guns, but theychoose this; why not give themthe opportunity? They may justimpress and do very well, but it’smore about giving someone froma community as volatile as Hano-ver Park the opportunity to livetheir dream, even if it’s only once.We get very few of these chances.”The students who have been se-

lected for the Dream Cup areMikhail Hicks, Lee Hicks, MylesWilliams, Sergio Swarts, KenrickFinch, Natheer Kamish, NaasikKamish, Saa’iba Daniels and Im-an Nacerodien.The dojo will host several fund-

raisers over the coming weeks.V For more information or to assist thekarateka to realise their dreams visitwww.shinkyokushinkai.co.za or call Dan-iels on 082 978 2508.

Wynberg batter ’Bosch in T20 finalLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Wynberg Boys’ High School’s under-19A teamproduced a brilliant all-round performanceto beat arch rivals Rondebosch Boys’ High

in the WP Coca-Cola T20 Challenge final on Tues-day.The rivals met at the Vineyard Oval in Newlands

in a repeat of last year’s final – one of the matches’Bosch won on the road to claiming the national ti-tle.The defending championswon the toss and select-

ed to bat, but were bowled out for just 81 with fourballs remaining. Wynberg chased down the targetin just 16.1 overs, posting 82/3.’Bosch went into the match without the services

Ikeys’ title hopes dented by defeat to log leadersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The IkeyTigers’ chances of securing aVarsi-ty Cup home semi-final were slashed aftera loss to log leaders Tuks on Monday.UCT were defeated 26-16 at home, slipping

out of the top four and possibly out of conten-tion for the knockout rounds.Ikeyswent into the crunch encounterhigh

on confidence after two morale boostingwins against arch rivals Maties and NelsonMandela Metropolitan University over thelast two weeks.After five minutes of play, it looked as if

the home side were set to make it three outof three.Once a short, initial period of Tuks domi-

nance ended, the strongwind atUCT’s backsstarted to influence the game.Flyhalf Dean Grant sought the touchline

fromapenalty andhis kick carried deep intothe defending champion’s half.UCT chose not to drive from the resulting

line-out, electing tomove the ball away fromthe powerful Tuks forward pack and on tomuscular flank Vince Jobo lurking in mid-field.Though UCT scored from the move, many

would argue they were fortunate.Jobo got the go-forward as planned, but

the ball was ripped loose and scrumhalf Li-am Slatem was on-hand to pick up and raceclear. Grant goaled the conversion to handUCT 8-0 lead.Grant’s booming boot, the Ikey’s solid

line-out and an effective maul looked set to

be a regular route to the try-line while thewind was at their backs.But poordecision-makingmeant thehome

team failed to make use of the advantage.The Tigers were guilty of tapping and run-

ning from penalties in their own half, whenbooting Tuks back into the 22 and buildingfrom the set-piece would have served better.Effective kicking from open play could al-

so have allowed the Ikeys to play in Tuks’half and feed off the errors which were

bound to follow.UCT failed to score any further points in

the first-half and were eventually made topay for their poor choices in the 42ndminute.After winning a scrum penalty in the op-

position 22, Tuks loosehead prop Juan Sch-oeman tapped and barged over before theUCT pack could retreat. Tian Schoemanpulled Tuks level with the conversion.With nowind to help stem the Tuks attack

in the second half, UCT were up against it.Though the Tigers attacked the gain line

with gusto and defended bravely, they failedto alter the score board and could not keepTuks out.The visitors scored their second try in the

55th minute when fullback Warrick Gelantfinished in the right corner after aggressivecarries sucked in the UCT defence.Schoeman missed the subsequent conver-

sion, but Tuks scored again just 10 minuteslater.Prop Neethling Fouche intercepted a way-

ward pass on the right and the ball wasspread left for Duncan Matthews to take ad-vantage of the overlap and score.Schoeman was struggling in the wind and

again failed his conversion attempt, but themiss had little effect on the result.Tuks sealed a bonus point in the 78th

minutewhen, after several phases on attack,replacement hooker Arno van Wyk took ashort pass at a ruck and surged through adefeated UCT defence to score.This time Schoeman goaled the conver-

sion and took the score to 26-8.However, the scoring was not done. UCT

replacement centre Huw Jones picked up aloose ball and sped away from the Tuks de-fence to score under the posts in the finalminute.Grant added a touch of respectability to

the scoreline, converting the try before thefinal whistle sounded.UCT will hope to restore their title charge

when they face the University of Johannes-burg (away) on Monday.
