TBERGHOSPITAAL: GROEP VROUE EN BORGE KNAP BABASAAL VIR MAS OP
Vyfster-verblyf
MAGRIET THERON
@magrietron
N
uwemas vanvroeggebore en siek pas-
gebore babas moet soms vir maande
in n stoel langs n broeikas in eenheid
J3 van die Tygerberg-kinderhospitaal sit om
naby hul babas te wees. Hierdie eenheid
word die babas en mammas se tweede huis.
S s dr. HaseenaHasan, neo-natale pedia-
ter van die hospitaal. Sy s dit is van kardi-
nale belang dat die babas se mas by hulle
moet wees, sodat hulle borsmelk kan kry,
hulle n band met mekaar kan vorm en dat
die babas sogenaamde kangeroe-versor-
ging kan kry.
Party van die babas in eenheid J3 weeg
selfs so min as 600 g met geboorte.
n Groep vroue van Durbanville het nou
met die hulp van borge een van die kamers
van eenheid J3 s ingerig dat tien mas met
babas gemaklik daar kan woon.
Ons het besluit omborge te betrek omdie
saal op te knap.
Die saal is oorgeverf, nuwe beddens, ma-
trasse, beddegoed, bedkassies, n TV, Chris-
telike CDs en DVDs en heelwat toiletbeno-
digdhede is geskenk, s Sulet Fourie, wat
die projek begin het.
Een van die vroue van ons kerk se moms
group werk ook hier en sy het ons gevra vir
ekstra speelgoed en kombersies om die saal
mee mooi te maak, vertel Sulet.
Sy s die groep het toe besluit om die ge-
meenskap te betrek en borge te nader.
n Mens se hart breek vir die mammas
wathierdiekleinoudingetjiesmoet versorg.
Hierdiemas wil die beste vir hul kinders h
en ons wou ook h hulle moet gemaklik
wees, s sy.
Dit is ongelooflik hoeveel borge aan
boord gekom het. Ons kon die hele kamer
toerus en mooimaak.
Elke bed het n naambordjie bo, waar dit
vroer net n stukkie maskeerband met n
naam op was en ons het fotos laat raam en
teen die mure gehang, s sy.
Die hele proses het omtrent vier maande
geneem.
Dit is vir hierdie mas moeilik om vir so
lank hier te wees. Dit is ongelooflik om nou
n huislike atmosfeer in hierdie saal te h,
s Hasan.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1
Daar is nou sagte matrasse op stewige bed-
dens dit is n vriendelike omgewing. Dit is
so goed vir die moraal van die mas, s sy.
Een van di vroue is Khuselwa Sonkosi
(28), wat tot onlangs in Johannesburg ge-
woon en gewerk het. Maar in die laaste paar
jaar het sy vyf miskrame gehad voor sy 28
weke swanger was.
Iemand het my van die Tygerberg-hospi-
taal vertel toe ek die sesde keer swanger
word, s sy.
Sy het haar werk bedank en met n bus
Kaapstad toe gekom om vir hulp te kom vra
by die hospitaal.
Sy is dadelik opgeneem en vir twee weke
gemonitor. Op 4 Oktober is haar dogtertjie,
Linathi Azania Sonkosi, op 26 weke en 5 dae
gebore. Linathi het die geboorte oorleef,
maar het skaars 700 g geweeg.
Daar is babaswat dit kan oorleef, ten spy-
te vandie beperktehulpbronnewat onshet,
s Hasan.
Sy s volgens wet moet die hulpbronne
soos ventilators wat daar wel vir die neo-na-
tale eenhede beskikbaar is, geprioritiseer
word vir babas wat n 28 weke gebore word.
Maar party van hierdie heel klein baba-
tjies het ongelooflike veggees, soos Linathi.
Ek is baie tevrede met haar en in ses weke
het haar gewig al meer as verdubbel, s sy.
Sy s een van die redes waarom n baba
soos Linathi kan oorleef, is omdat hulle in
J3 daarop aandring dat die babas net bors-
melk gevoed word. En as die mas gemaklik
is, is dit net makliker.
Khuselwa is een van die mas wat nou die
nuwe kamer saam met nege ander vroue
deel elkeenmet tenminste een vroeggebo-
re baba.
Eenheid J3 is toegerus om 25 babas te kan
akkommodeer, maar Hasan s daar is op die
oomblik 33.
Ons kapasiteit is lankal bereik. Ons wys
niemand weg nie, maar die personeel is on-
der ongelooflikedrukendaar is n tekort aan
verpleegsters met gespesialiseerde oplei-
ding, s Hasan, wat al vir 13 jaar by Tyger-
berg werk.
Sy s die implikasies is dat infeksiebeheer
moeilik raak en dat die personeel oorwerk
is.
Sodra n vroeggebore of siek pasgebore ba-
ba in di eenheid stabiel is, word hulle ver-
skuif na n hospitaal nader aan die familie.
As die baba 1,8 kgweeg en die dokter tevrede
is, kan sy of hy huis toe gaan.
Fourie s hierdie een kamer is nou klaar
en al wat sy nou nog wil doen is om opvoed-
kundige programme oor babasorg te kry
waarna die vroue kan kyk, terwyl hulle wag
dat hul babas sterker word.
Khuselwa Sonkosi met die kleine Linath,i wat
op 26 weke gebore is. Linathi het al 700 g
opgetel sedert sy op 4 Oktober haar eerste
lewenslig gesien het. Sonkosi voer haar net
borsmelk uit n koppie, omdat sy nog nie kan
suig nie.
DVDvan rakke verwyder
Die 2014-DVD van die Gospel-Skouspel
wat in Oktober uitgereik is, is weens n
tegniese fout van alle winkelrakke
verwyder. Die drukkersduiwel het by
die reproduksie van die DVD ingesluip
en daartoe gelei dat die volledige reeks
DVDs voorlopig aan die mark onttrek
word totdat die nuwe DVDs vroeg in
2015 gereed is, het die eienaars van die
Gospel-Skouspel-handelsmerk, ges.
Recycledwater to irrigate fields
MAGRIET THERON
@magrietron
T
reated water from the Athlone waste
water treatment plant will soon be
used to irrigate sports fields, schools
and parks in Parow and Goodwood.
The Parow Link pipeline project has re-
cently been completed and launched on 24
November.
This six kilometer-long pipeline extends
from Thornton to the Parow pond at the
Parow golf course.
Here, the water is already filling the dam
and with existing infrastructure, be used to
irrigate the golf course and adjacent sports
fields.
Various beneficiaries were identified and
connected along the pipeline route.
The pressure still needs to be boosted,
and for that a booster pump and reservoir
will be erected, says Gert van Niekerk,
president of the golf club.
Construction of these important two ele-
ments have already been approved and will
take place in 2015.
VanNiekerk says two years ago, the pond
at the golf course dried up completely, all
the carp died and so did the grass surround-
ing the water feature.
The dam, which was initially built to
manage flood water through Parow, has its
own pump station and treatment plant.
Now this supply of water will be enhanced
by the Parow Link effluent.
Two thirds of the citys water consump-
tion ends up in more than 20 treatment
works across the city from where the final
effluent is dischargedback into the environ-
ment. The City of Cape Towns objective is
to offset the use of potable water by supply-
ing treated effluent for irrigation purpos-
es, says Clive Justus, chairperson of sub-
council 4 about this and other Water De-
mand Management (WDM) projects that
commenced across the city in 2007 in order
to offset potable water.
The users will also be saving money as
the tariff for treated water is less than pota-
ble water, and the additional benefit is the
added fertiliser, which comes gratis, Jus-
tus said at the launch.
The dam at the Parow golf course will be transformed to a reservoir which will hold four mega
liters of treated water for irrigation in Parow and Goodwood. PHOTO: MAGRIET THERON

Another police officer stationed at the
ParowPolice Stationwas arrested on 21No-
vember for defeating the ends of justice,
and fraud.
Police spokespersonFCvanWyksaid this
was the 12th arrest of employees and former
employees at this station in the past two
weeks.
On 21 September, slightly after mid-
night, the neighbourhood watch of Parow
Park patrolled the area and found a suspect
in possession of 15 mandrax tablets.
They notified this constable who re-
sponded to the complaint. The suspect and
packet with drugs were handed to him. The
neighbourhood watch members later made
enquiries, only to discover that no case
docket was registered, the suspect was not
detained and the drugs not handed in as ex-
hibit, Van Wyk said.
The same policeman also allegedly forged
a sick certificate recently.
Van Wyk says the case was discussed
with the seniorpublic prosecutor andawar-
rant of arrest authorised for him. A notice
of possible suspension was served on him.
He appeared in the Bellville Magistrates
Court on 24 November.
Ten other members of the Parow police,
and one former employee, were also arrest-
ed on charges of fraud and corruption earli-
er in November.
Responding to this at the recent sub-coun-
cil 4 meeting, Clive Justus, chairperson,
predicted more arrests.
I trust the SAPSs anti-corruption unit,
as well as the intelligence gathering by the
drug and gangs task team set up by the sub-
council consisting of SAPS, the department
of justice, the asset forfeiture unit, home af-
fairs and the SouthAfricanRevenue Servic-
es will soon lead to further arrests and pros-
ecution of criminals.
I however would like to emphasise that
there aremore dedicated, diligent and loyal
cops than the few bad apples. Goodwood po-
lice have for the past two years been ac-
knowledged as the best performing station
in the Western Cape, Justus said.
Another cop arrested for fraud
A small wooden desk was hurriedly car-
ried from entrance 2 of TygerbergHospital
last week, when Seskhona Peoples Rights
Movement leader Andile Lili was dischar-
ged and met with more than 500 cheering
supporters.
Lili survived an attack on his life two
weeks earlier when hewas shot four times
in the stomach and arm.
Walking with some effort, Lili was hel-
ped onto the desk that was placed next to
a public order police vehicle to greet his
fans and tell them about his ordeal.
Lili is a former ANC councillor in the
Western Cape and one of the ringleaders
of the so-called poo protesters who dum-
ped human faeces at the Western Cape le-
gislature and Cape Town International
Airport. He was acquitted for this in July.

He turned around, barely able to keep his
balance, and looked at Robben Island dip-
ping below the waves on the horizon.
His parents left him to fend for himself too
soon.
Behindhimpeople start gathering innum-
bers, perhaps to join the funeral march.
For amoment his heart beat faster and the
urge to flee gripped him.
He of course didnt know he was standing
on the shore of Melkbosstrand and that so-
meone would soon rescue him from certain
death.
Regardless, he is a penguin, and during
the brief period his parents looked after him
they explicitly told him to be wary of hu-
mans.
The fledgling, who has been christened
Happy Feet by one of the onlookers and local
community police forum chairman John
Taylor, was just hours away from dying of
starvation.
Scared
Happy Feet will one day tell his children
about the time whenMelkbosstrand Private
Schools teacher, Liezl Bestbier, lovingly
took him from Melkbosstrand to Table
Views SouthernAfrican Foundation for the
Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob).
But late on Saturday afternoon, he was
scared.
About 10 people were looking at him trap-
ped between the beach and the wide ocean.
And then, during his darkest moment, he
saw someone jogging towards the group of
uncertain onlookers.
The self-assured woman, who would tem-
porarily become a mother to him, talked
briefly to the onlookers and then slowly mo-
ved towards Happy Feet.
She had awelcoming look in her warm ey-
es.
Bestbier held out her hand, pickedupHap-
pyFeet and tenderlywrappedhim ina towel.
Days later Bestbier told TygerBurger she
has rescued birds before, but never a pen-
guin.
I knew that if a penguin stands there and
just looks and blinks at you then there is no
fight left in them, says Bestbier.
The people there said they phoned Sanc-
cob, but therewas doubtwhether the organi-
sation could come and collect the penguin,
so I decided to take him there myself.
Happy Feet was then carried to Bestbiers
house, only every now and again peeking at
the busy world through the towel.
He saw others staring curiously at Best-
bier and him then before he knew it he was
placed in a box and put in a bigger box.
He might later have deduced that the big-
ger box was a car.
The drive to Sanccob was quite awkward
for a bird notorious for awkwardness.
During the trip the penguins namemight
just as well have been Flappy Feet.
Once the twoarrived inTableViewhewas
immediately taken in, weighed, and tho-
roughly embraced.
He weighed just one kilogram, which is
much lighter than a bird his age should
weigh, says Bestbier.
Global warming
I was told by Sanccob that the chick sea-
son and the moulting season of the parents
are overlapping because of global warming
and human interference. The adults fatten
themselves up, but then theres nobody loo-
king out for the chicks.
Going to sea is then the most hazardous
time of a fledglings life and only about half
of themwho go out for the first time ever re-
turn home.
Sanccobs development andmarketing co-
ordinator, Francois Louw, says it is quite
common during chick season for them to co-
me to the rescue of starving and dehydrated
penguins.
He continues: The penguin was very un-
dernourished, but he was very strong none-
theless.We suspect hewas abandoned by his
parents. During this three week process
when the parents replace their plumage
with a brand new set of waterproof feathers,
they are unable to hunt for fish and feed
their young. The chicks that are not yet rea-
dy to fledge are abandoned and face starvati-
on.
Happy Feet will show the world that he
can survive without the help of his parents.
He will take to the sea as if it is his oyster,
completely reinvigorated by the caringBest-
bier and Sanccob.
One dayhewill have chicks of his ownand
he will tell them of the wide world out there
and about his brush with death.
There are people out there who can be
trusted, he will tell them, and then when
they are big enough to feed themselves, he
will leave.
Right now, he is sure he will keep an eye
on them from a distance.
Happy Feets chicks will never be comple-
tely alone.
Aweek from now, perhaps even a few ye-
ars, I will think of the penguin I saved, says
Bestbier. I hope I made a difference.

The National Institute for Crime Preventi-
on and the Reintegration of Offenders (Ni-
cro), Arrive Alive and South African Bre-
weries have joined forces to reduce drunk
driving andkeep SouthAfricans safe on the
road this festive season with the Road Of-
fence Panel Programme.
People arrested for road traffic offences,
will be able to accessNicro support and ser-
vices via a 24-hour hotline (072 184 6483). As
a start the hotline will only servicing the
Western Cape.
This campaign will run until the end of
January next year, aiming at heightening
awareness of road safety and holding offen-
ders accountable for their behaviour.
With police figures showing that some
195 people are arrested daily driving under
the influence (DUI), and that 71 065 arrests
were made in 2012, drunk driving is one of
the greatest threats to road safety in the
country.
The Road Offences Panel Programme is
aimed at tackling the challenge of drunk
driving through a behavioural programme
and has seen tangible results.
Nicro believes the programme is a more
effective long-term solution than senten-
cing someone to imprisonment for drunk
driving, as prison is not necessarily the
best option for all DUI offenders.
However, it is up to the discretion of ama-
gistrate to decide whether to impose the
course as opposed to a jail sentence or a fi-
ne. The course can also be imposed in com-
bination with other interventions, which
then strengthen the long term behavioural
change results.
Programme started to
change drivers behaviour
Acat show, the last for the year,will be held
on Saturday 29 November from 09:00 to
16:00 in the Durbanville town hall.
The event spans three international
championship cat shows, each held by a dif-
ferent cat club. There will be two visiting
judges from Gauteng.
Special focus will be on semi-longhair
cats like the maine coon, birman and rag-
doll.
Entry fees are R20 for adults, R10 for
children and R10 for pensionars. Families
may enter for R50.

@linnertmb
Bellville kry eersdaags n musiekskool wat
ook diens sal doen as teater.
Di breinkindvanAlwenavanderVyver,
n bekende in gospelkringe in die noordeli-
ke voorstede, gaan eindelik n realiteit
wordnadat haar droomreeds eenkeer tevo-
re in die slag gebly het weens verkeerde so-
nering.
Die gewag is verby! het sy onlangs laat
weet. N maande se gesoek na n geskikte
perseel het die meetsnoere nou in plek ge-
val, s sy.
Die perseel sal die tuiste wees vir die Mu-
siekforum-musiekskool en Metronoom-tea-
ter, en gaan vanaf sy kantore in Nobelpark
in Bellville die kunste ontwikkel.
Alwena s as alles goed afloop, sal die nu-
we skooltjie sy deure amptelik op Maandag
2 Februarie 2015 vir diens oopgooi vir die
gemeenskap.
Afgesien van produksies en solo-optre-
des deur kunstenaars, sal die Metronoom-
teater ook beskikbaar wees vir werksessies
en privaat-funksies. Oudio- en visuele toe-
rustingword opdie oomblik genstalleer, s
Alwena.
Sy s die skool gaan onderrig aanbied in
verskillende instrumente, asook sanglesse,
ligte en klassieke musiek. Die verborge ta-
lente van grootmense sal ontgin word, s
Anena, en di van kinders geslyp word.
Tussen dimusikale ontginning deur, sal
Alwena steeds optree by gemeentes en vir
ander funksies.
Ek sal dit moeilik vind om die pen neer
te sit en nie meer produksies te skryf nie.
Diemeetsnoere het voorwaar in plek ge-
val! s sy.
Alwena soek tans opgeleide instrumenta-
liste en stemafrigters om by die skool aan
te sluit.
V Kontak Alwena by 082 704 9196 met enige na-
vrae.
Nuwemusiekskool sal ook
as teater in Bellville dien
Alwena van der Vyver maak in Februarie n
musiek- en teaterskool in Bellville oop.
Die Bellville-stapklub hou op Saterdag 29
November sy afsluitingstaptog vir 2014.
Di tog neem hulle na die Paarlberg. Die
groep beoog n heerlike braai daarna.
Die vervoerkoste is R45 en die bestuur lei
die stap.
Die groep vertrek soos gewoonlik om
07:00 vanaf Van Niekerstraat 9 in Oakdale.
V Kontak Louis by 082 225 4808 of Werensa by
061 1667 233 met navrae.

Requests formedical assistance continue to
dominate calls to the City of Cape Towns
107 Public Emergency Communication
Centre (PECC).
Statistics for the previous festive season
showed the highest number of calls to the
PECC came from Dunoon in Milnerton.
The call centre was established over 10
years ago to provide a single point of con-
tact where people can report an emergency.
Between July 2013 and September 2014,
call centre staff created 401 140 incident re-
cords from themore than 780 000 calls recei-
ved.
Of these, 54% were for medical assistan-
ce, ranging from assault to maternity cases
and abdominal pain. Callers requesting as-
sistance for crime and law enforcement is-
sues accounted for the second highest cate-
gory of calls.
On average, 90% of all calls were answe-
red within 10 seconds.
The city doesnt necessarily provide all
the services that callers require, specifical-
ly medical responses. For example, we are
not in charge of the ambulance service, but
we have a formal system that allows the
agent to patch the caller through to Metro
EMS who is then responsible for ensuring
the response. The same would apply where
a South African Police Service response is
required.Fromaconsumerperspective, its
a single number to remember or save in
their contacts, instead of the number for
each individual service provider, said ci-
tys mayco member for safety and security,
JP Smith.
The PECC expects an increase in the
number of calls from early December until
the end of the festive season.
Unfortunately, there also tends to be an
increase in prank calls during this time of
year, when children on holiday have unsu-
pervised access to telephones at home.
It might seem harmless, but those preci-
ous seconds spent on a prank call couldme-
an life or death for someone else who has
to wait in the queue to speak to an agent.
So parents, please discourageyour children
fromengaging in this behaviour although,
experience has shown that children are not
the only culprits, says Smith.
Prank calls hamper
those in real need

When one walks into any store
or shopping centre, it is clear
the festive season is here.
Everywhere you look, you see
Christmas trimmings and
decorations and stores adver-
tising special offers.
The final touches are being
put on end-of-year work
functions.
People are preparing for the
holidays; whether they are
going away or staying at home,
it is obvious that they are
looking forward to a much-
needed break from work.
But with the festive season
usually comes a spike in
crime, debt and accidents. And
we often forget about the real
meaning of Christmas, as it
has been over-commercialised
over the years.
So try to do things a little
differently this year. If you are
going away, ensure that your
home is burglar-proof, hire a
house sitter or ask your
neighbours to keep an eye on
your property.
When you sit down for
Christmas lunch or dinner
with your family, remember
the value and story behind the
day appreciate the opportuni-
ty you have with your loved
ones and enjoy every minute of
the festive break.
And if you are travelling be
sure to triple check whether
your car is in working order,
do not drive if you are too
tired and always pray for
travelling mercies.
Happy festive season!

guns deter criminals, Tyger-
Burger, 5 November).
More than 150 years of global
empirical evidence has shown
Guns needed to
keep crime at bay
that gun control is a miserable
failure to control crime, always
leads to an escalation in violent
crime and frequently precedes
genocide.
The worst genocides of the
previous century all followed
gun control and the concomi-
tant disarmament of civilians.
The saying if guns are out-
lawed only outlaws will own
guns is as true as ever.
Based on the proven fact that
more firearms in civilian hands
leads to a decrease in violent
crime and the governments
proven inability to rid our
society of crime, civilian
firearm ownership should be
encouraged and promoted on all
possible levels.
A grandmother and her
grandchild were robbed at
knifepoint in Parow, a woman
on her way to Avondale Station
was robbed at knifepoint and in
two incidents women were
robbed at knifepoint by cowards
waiting for them in cars along
the road.
In one case, two attackers
turned and fled when the victim
merely produced a firearm.
Now some stupid fools want us
to believe that by banning the
law-abiding from owning
firearms these type of crimes
would have been prevented?
How foolish could one be?
Until government gets its act
together to permanently and
effectively rid us of crime by
permanently removing them
from society, the law-abiding
will increasingly have to arm
themselves to protect that
which is near and dear to them.

I refer to the letter Dodgy tax
in foreign shops (TygerBurger,
5 November). This is something
that has been bothering my
husband and myself for some
time. We are fitting the tax bill
for these hangers on. I was
chased out of a store in Brack-
enfell for insisting on a till slip
for my purchase. Our greatest
concern is that when you order
a take-away from one of their
restaurants, they refuse to give
you a slip as proof of purchase.
Should you get sick as a result
of the meal, you have no
recourse. It is time the authori-
ties did what they get paid to
do: protect the citizens of this
beautiful country.

Lack of till slips a
serious concern
There are often situations of
faunal road mortalities around
nature reserves in the city
(Animals under siege, Tyger-
Burger, 19 November).
While these fatalities are
difficult to manage, signs have
been erected to remind motor-
ists to slow down as they need
to be aware that they are in an
area where animals are likely
to be crossing the roads.
The exact number of deaths
is unknown.
Animals naturally move
between food sources and
territories. We also have
natural animal fatalities such
as baby tortoises, which are
dropped by crows to break
their shells, or natural hunting
of small rodents or guinea fowl
by caracal.
Egyptian Geese are indige-
nous and their numbers,
similar to the Hadeda Ibis, are
increasing due to the increased
number of green open spaces
which provide perfect habitats
across the city.
The only manageable way to
prevent animal cruelty is to
form societal partnerships
which combat errant social
behaviour. Residents abutting
nature reserves need to be
especially careful. We encour-
age residents to take the needs
of animals into consideration
and to report any abuses to the
relevant authorities.

SLICE OF LIFE
Seisoen van
blydskap het
ook hartseer
Die feestyd is om die draai. Gewoonlik is
dit n tyd wat met vreugde en blydskap
gepaard gaan waar mense n welver-
diende blaaskans n n dolle jaar kry.
Maar ongelukkig hou die feestyd ook
sekere negatiewe vooruitsigte in.
Dit is n tyd waar die dodetal op ons
paaie vervierdubbel. Mense se haas om
by hul vakansiebestemmings uit te kom,
knip baie keer hul lewens kort.
Jaarliks kom bykans 2 000 sterftes,
hoofsaaklik motorbotsings, in di tyd
voor.
Maak seker dat jy nie een van daardie
statistieke word nie: Gaan jou motor voor
jou reis deeglik na, rus gereeld langs die
pad, hou by die spoedgrens en beoefen
geduld in swaar verkeer.
Ng n realiteit van die feestyd is dat
die misdadigers van ons land dan bedry-
wiger as ooit vantevore is. Hoeveel
vakansies is nie al in die verlede bederf
deur die nuus dat daar by jou huis
ingebreek is nie?
Tref dus alle nodige maatrels om jou
eiendom te beskerm deur nie alleen jou
buurtwag nie, maar ook die nabye
inwoners in jou straat in te lig dat jy nie
daar gaan wees nie. Hoe meer mense
hulle o vir jou oophou, hoe kleiner is
die kans op inbrake.
Laastens, en moontlik een van die
hartseerste aspekte van die feesseisoen, is
die feit dat troeteldiere soms verwaarloos
word. As jy nie kan bekostig om jou
hond in n dierehotel te sit nie, tref
relings dat iemand hom gereeld versorg.
Dit is die minste wat jou troeteldier vra.

A
survey of street people conducted in
shelters and on the streets of Cape
Town showed significant numbers in
the northern suburbs.
The first phase of the surveywas recently
completed after 220 trained field workers
for the citys Social Development and Early
Childhood Development Directorate collec-
ted data over a four-day period in June.
Asample of 2670 street people over theage
of 18 was taken, a headcount done and ques-
tionnaires completed by these respondents.
The data established how long they had
been on the streets, their communities of
origin, what they do to survive on the
streets, and whether or not they use shel-
ters and services within the city.
The highest numbers of street people we-
re counted in the Cape Town city bowl, but
large numbers lived in the northern su-
burbs.
The larger part of Durbanville, Vrede-
kloof, Protea Heights, Philadelphia, Klip-
heuwel, Fisantekaal, Richwood, Bloekom-
bos and a small portion of Wallacedene we-
re home to 6% of respondents.
At Goodwood, up to De La Rey Road, Pa-
row and Ravensmead, (as far as Vanguard
Drive), the number was at 7%.
AtEersteRiver andMfuleni (as far asMa-
cassar and the western part of Somerset
West), 17% of respondents slept on the
steets.
We already have numerous interventi-
ons inplace, saidSuzetteLittle, citymayco
member for social development and early
childhood Development.
Little said the citys data was outdated,
so they decided to gain a better understan-
ding over time of how many people we are
dealing with and look to repurposing our
interventions if need be.
The survey found women would more li-
kelybe found in shelters andmenmore like-
ly on the streets.
A third of the respondents were between
26 and 35 years old.
Of the 1593 who reported on the length of
time that they have been on the street, 17%
had been homeless between one and five ye-
ars, 15% for less than a month to six
months, and 7% had been on the street 16
years or more.
Approximately 15% of respondents re-
ported being on the street out of choice,
with most reporting lack of housing (26%),
the loss of family (18%), substance abuse
(15%), and unemployment and poverty
(15%) as reasons for homelessness.
The survey showed income on the streets
was predominately generated frombegging
(45%), temporary or contract employment
(37%) and social grants (2%).
Those in shelters hadmore access to tem-
porary employment (43%), social grants
(29%) and fewer than 8% resorted to beg-
ging.
This is only the beginning of the process
for us. I have to stress that this is not a defi-
nitive figure of the number of people living
on the street, but it is a start, Little said.
The next phase of the project is to compa-
re the latest data with the findings of previ-
ous surveys and establish trends that could
further shape the directorates street peo-
ple interventions.

end of June 2015.
This free servicewill be provided both in-
side public buildings via the citys 102
SmartCape Computer facilities and outs-
ide via 61 public access hotspots where peo-
ple congregate and queue for services, a sta-
tement said.
These amenities include clinics, admini-
stration buildings, traffic departments, fire
stations and public transport interchanges,
said Hayley van der Woude, the citys me-
dia coordinator.
She said certain areas will be serviced by
December, with the remaining completed
by the end of June 2015.

ding, Robbie Nurock Clinic and Site B Yo-
uth Clinic.
Each access point will cost between
R60 000 and R100 000 to install, she said.
The city partnered with service provi-
ders MWEB, Internet Solutions and Oran-
ge, a French telecommunications company.

clusion are fundamental to creating an
enabling environment for business deve-
lopment, economic growth and social cohe-
sion, she said.

chio Durbanville at Spiros Corner was re-
commended for approval at the subcouncil
7 meeting last Monday 17 November.
ColCacchio motivated its application for
extension from Monday to Saturday from
18:00 to 20:00 now that themajority of its bu-
siness is either take-away collections or ho-
me deliveries.
The pizzeria has an existing off-consump-
tion licence which enables customers to
buy a bottle of wine or beer to take away
with their meals.
According to the conditions of the exis-
ting off-consumption licence, the identity
number of a client must be recorded when
liquor is ordered, and must be verified on
delivery.
Furthermore, the current licence stipula-
tes that liquor may only be delivered with
a food order.
GerhardFourie, chairpersonof sub-coun-
cil 7 (Koeberg), said the same conditions im-
posed on the existing licence must also be
applicable on the extension of liquor tra-
ding hours.

Mense kom jaarliks van heinde en verre
omdie produksieKlassieke Kersfees op die
Paarlberg by te woon. Dis nie net die be-
geesterde musiek wat hulle lok nie, maar
ook die pragtige uitsig vanaf die Liqui-
Fruit-amfiteater en die gesellige atmo-
sfeer met hope kos- en wynstalletjies.

104fm is die me-
diaborge vandie
konsert, wat
vanjaar vir die
vierde keer aan-
gebied word.
Klassieke
Kersfees van
2014 spog met
vyf van die land
se top-kunste-
naars, almal
met unieke
stemme. Jannie
Moolman en
Zanne Stapel-
berg is reeds se-
dert die eerste
jaar deel van die
konsert. Vir Co-
bus Snyman sal
dit die tweede keerweeswat hy sy buiging
maak by Klassieke Kersfees. Hy was die
groot verrassing by verlede jaar se kon-
sert en het die skare op hul voete gehad
met sy rasperstem,wat baie klink soos di
van Bryan Adams. Die twee nuwelinge
vanjaar kom al die pad van Gauteng af.
CorleaBotha enRobbieWessels sal sorg
vir n interessante dimensie en die gehoor
kan uitsien na n paar van hul gewildste
treffers. In baie gevalle sal dit slegs by
Klassieke Kersfees wees waar di kunste-
naars saam as groep sal sing. Heelwat du-
ette is ook ingesluit in die program, inslui-
tend Cobus en Zanne se weergawe van
WhiteChristmas en Jannie enCorlea se
vertolking van Vivo per Lei. Die pro-
gram is propvol Kersliedere waar die ge-
hoor genooi word om saam te sing, asook
heelwat tydlose treffers. Jannie,wat indie
verlede beskryf is as iemand wat klassie-
ke musiek meer toeganklik gemaak het,
s di konsert is een van sy gunstelinge
op sy jaarkalen-
der, juis omdat
dit iets vir almal
bied. Klassieke
Kersfees is alles
behalwe net vir
die connois-
seur, s Jannie.
Die klassieke
treffer Va Pen-
siero, wat Jan-
nie die aand on-
der meer gaan
sing, beloof om
n staande toe-
juiging te kry.
Hy gaan ook n
paar liedjies
saammet Corlea
en Zanne sing.
Corlea en
Zanne het albei ongelooflike stemme en
dit is altyd n voorreg om saam met hulle
te sing. Ook op die program is verskeie
Kersliedere, wat die kunstenaars saam
met die gehoor en n massakoor van die
Frank Pietersen-musieksentrum gaan
sing. Diemusikale direkteur, Melissa van
derSpuy, het n simfonie-orkes van 29 lede
saamgestel wat ook die aand gaan optree.
n Deel van die inkomste van die kon-
sert, wat aangebied word deur Tygerval-
lei-sentrum, word vanjaar aanDie Burger
se Kersfonds geskenk.
Kaartjies, wat wissel tussen R130 en
R150, is beskikbaar by Computicket.
Begeesterdemusiek,

The City of Cape Towns festive season co-
ordinating committee has drafted a plan to
ensure thehighest level of preparedness for
the busy holiday period.
The plan focus areas include emergency
response, policing, ensuring safety at pub-
lic amenities such as beaches, road safety,
cleansing, enforcement of by-laws, and sub-
stance abuse.
The city will make the following services
available over the festive season:
. 1 430 Metro police, law enforcement
and traffic officers patrolling roads and
beaches and conducting operations
. 900 firefighters available for anymajor
incidents
. 240 firefighters on shift at any given
time at the citys 30 fire stations
. An additional 120 seasonal firefighters
. 250 lifeguards available on a rotational
basis; on average there will be about 70 life-
guards manning city beaches every day
. 1 864 temporary staff members to en-
hance the cleansing services capacity
This year, Transport for Cape Town will
pilot a plan for theAtlantic Seaboard on the
Day of Goodwill (Friday 26 December) and
New Years Day (Thursday 1 January),
which will see a dedicated team of 20 traffic
officers deployed to manage traffic flow on
the two major beach days.
The community services directorate will
ensure blue flag beaches are kept pristine,
andwill prioritise the safety of beachgoers.
The city has partnered with Lifesaving
Western Province, who will deploy 250 life-
guards in addition to their volunteer serv-
ices at all popular beaches.
In order to deal with the increased de-
mand on services during this period, the
citys plan provides for top-up cleaning
services covering all business areas, scenic
routes, and beaches throughout the metro.
A total of 1 864 temporary staff from the Ex-
panded Public Works Programme (EPWP)
will be deployed to various areas and will
provide the added capacity needed.
