ATLANTIC SEABOARD CITY EDITION

“Tel l ing it as it is”

TAURIQ HASSEN

PROBLEMS at the caves found betweenClifton and Sea Point could soon be athing of the past – if a proposal to intro-duce lookout points gets the thumbs upfrom the City of Cape Town.

The caves are occupied by street peoplewho are believed to be engaging in “anti-so-cial behaviour, criminal activities and van-dalism”.Ward councillor Beverley Schafer con-

firms that theproposal hasnot beenapprovedby the City and the process is currently in the“beginning stages”.“Wewant to open up the space to the public

as it is one of the very few public open spaceswith direct open views of the ocean and ahighly-used foot traffic area by those exercis-ing, residents and visitors,” says Schafer.The proposal is to design a series of walk-

ways and lookout points along the area ofland, believed to be around 70 000 square me-tres stretching between Clifton and SeaPoint,which could allowusers to explorenewparts of the coastline.Pathways and viewing areas will be con-

structed using “natural local material”blending into the surroundings, “creating asafe environment open to coastal elements”.Schafer explains that one of themajor prob-

lems the City is faced with is cleaning thecaves, as rope access is required.The wall running along Victoria Road and

private property boundary walls restrict in-dividuals’ view of the immediate land below,which lends itself to continue the status quoof an “out of sight, out of mind” area to dump

refuse collected by vagrants.She adds: “Most of the street people living

in these caves refuse any social interventionand those who do accept social assistancesimply return to the caves some time later.”People’s Post viewed a copy of the proposal,

which indicates that the viewpoints are re-garded as “small, intimate” spaces where agroup of people or individuals feel comforta-ble.Educational signage placed on the low

walls as artwork at the lookout points is be-ing proposed, which will ensure “minimalvisual impacts”.Residents are were excited at the prospect

of having a “new attraction” in the area, aswell as the possible permanent removal of va-grants.Sea Point resident FrankSadie relishes the

idea jogging along the coastline on a “well-constructed pathway”. He says: “I think it’sa fantastic idea. It’s one that could possiblyattract large crowds to the area, so this is onefor the City to really brainstorm.”Bridgette Taljaard, a Clifton resident, fears

the “problematic” caves, but gives the pro-posal two thumbs up, if the possibility of hav-ing the “crime-riddled caves occupied”.She adds that in the past, a stroll close to

the cave could either cost one serious inju-ries or becoming a potential robbery victim.“That area does pose some danger, but this

proposal seems to be addressing these con-cerns. The City needs to look at ways to en-hance this proposal and really bring the posi-tive factors out of something like this,” Tal-jaard says.On Friday, the City will be hosting a site

meeting before a motion is sent via the sub-council to the department to open it up as apublic space.Schafer says: “We are still very much in

the discussion phase and we hope thisproject can be done by 2014 to showcase thespace for the World Design Capital.”

Enjoy nature – for free

Dear reader,

At my rather mature age, I had my firstreal experience of “ladies’ night”.

I was actually after the goodie bag an up-market establishment tantalised with intheir invitation promising a “wonderfulparty to end Women’s Month”.

My friend was up for the challenge, butdisappointingly, we did not get goodiebags because we had not reserved.

Whatwegot – andhadn’t reserved either– was enough half naked, muscular menserving us delicate snacks. Our wish wastheir command.

The mix of women were mainly young,some older.

When my friend asked me whether thiswas “for desperate women”, I bounced thequestion off one of the topless lads who re-taliated: “No, it’s for women who wantsomething”.

Well, count me out. Iwasn’t there for anythingother than a new experienceand a few fun hours in aclassy place with a goodfriend. In any event, I havesomething at home (my hus-band,who knewmywherea-bouts).

Venturing on, we weretreated to no drinks, as thefreebie drinks were alcohol-ic, no snacks as we’d filledup earlier on a tasteless beefwrap at a Turkish cafe, andnoentertainment as themusic and fashionshow were not to our taste.

The fashion show seemed to drag on andwas followed by a make-up lesson.

In fairness, my friend and I were listen-ing to all this from comfy couches far fromthe action.

We opted to not see thefashion and make up demoby a guy whomwe explicitlyheard saying that we shouldapply foundation to our lipsas well, “to bring it all to-gether”. Useful tip – in factso useful it stoppedus takingphotos of ourselves, er, our-selves with the hunky eyecandy.

Within seconds of postingthese pictures on Facebook,I had 12 likes, of which 11were female.

Two hours later, we were bored and allthe gorgeous guys in the world couldn’tpersuade us otherwise – until I found anovel use for one.

Declining his offer of “something fromthe bar”, I tasked himwith going in searchof a hot chocolate, telling him it was close

tomy bedtime and I needed a hot beveragebefore I left. The cutie delivered.

After agreeing to some passive smokingon the roof deck with my smoker friend,we left for home, only to find that my carhad been locked in at the parking area I’dchosen for safety reasons.

The security guard had gone on hisrounds and we had no choice but to waitfor him; enough time for an opportunisticlittle man to approach us with intent ofsnatching our bags. He did not succeed.

What I learnt from my “ladies’ night”out is that it’s better to always take a manalong.

IMAGINE jogging on the beach whileviewing a series of artworks on the way.

If a proposal for an outdoor art exhibitionis approved, the beautification of a famousstrip of land on the Atlantic seaboard maysoon make the area even more appealing tothe eye.

TheCity of CapeTown is considering a pro-posal to install a free public art exhibit thatwill see between 80 and 100 sculptures by lo-cal artists erected on the Promenade andbeaches between Mouille Point and the SeaPoint Pavilion.

The project is earmarked for November2013.

Nikki Schwager, the project manager, be-lieves this would be the ideal opportunity tohighlight the work of some of South Africa’smost talented artists.

She explains “information pods” – similarto a help desk – will be found at the exhibi-tion, providing themainhubof activity at thetwo month-long art showpiece.

“This is the perfect opportunity for SouthAfrica to show off some the country’s bright-est talents,” says Schwager.

“Refreshment pods”, selling snacks, alsoformpart of the proposal and the funds raisedwill be used to assist artist from disadvan-taged communities.

She says: “This exhibition will bring theart to the people, rather than the people goingto seek the art.”

But at award forummeeting lastweek, BobGoebel, the chairperson for the Green PointRatepayers and Residents Association,raised concerns around commercialising thePromenade.

Goebel says several discussions in the pastsuggested that the commercial value of thePromenade has always been dealt with deli-cately.

“We should just take some caution whenwe look at this proposal. I do not believe wecan open the commercial door so widely,” hesays.

The rest of the forum thought otherwise,claiming that the fundraising ploy was“much less than commercialising”.

Graham Bath, a representative of theMouille Point Ratepayers Association, foundthe proposal to be “very positive for CapeTown”.

Bath says: “We are certainly not againstthis proposal and feel that it’s something ex-

Concerns wereraised around thetype of sculptureswhich may be onshow at the prome-nade.

Schwager saysthat before anysculptures areplaced , the artworkwill be re-evaluated,with final approvalby the City.

THE new gym equipment at the SeaPoint Outdoor Gym on the Promenadehas been replaced after being vandal-ised earlier this year.

Improved lighting and cameraswere al-so installed to monitor the new equip-ment.

Thieves pounced on the outdoor ani-mal-themed gym, making off with sec-tions of the equipment (“Thieves targetoutdoor gym”, People’s Post, 20 March).

At the time, Warrant Officer Bheki Xu-lu, spokesperson for the Sea Point PoliceStation, claimed that metal theft was nota problem in the area.

Ward councillor Beverley Schafer wasdisheartened at the thought of the gymbe-ing vandalised, but urges the communityto stand together in order to prevent anyfurther incidents.

“This is really an unfortunate incidentthat happened in this area, especially af-ter the gym was and still is well used bythe community,” she says.

Schafer says that the rubbermats foundunderneath the equipment had also beenvandalised with spray-paint.

She says council is now planning to re-place the mats.

Situated at the corner of Beach andThree Anchor Bay Roads, the gym wasopened at the end of last year in a bid tocombat obesity in Cape Town.

Sea Point residents are “upset and an-gered” at the thought of individualsbreaking down something used for “posi-tivity in the area”.

Sheryl Marcus, a regular visitor to thegym, is relieved to note that the stolen

equipment has been replaced, but fearedthe worst.

“As ratepayers, all these additionalitems come from our pockets. If there isnew equipment at the gym, we can onlyhope that these individuals will not be re-peat offenders,” she says.

Sea Point resident David Adams alsosuggests that the surrounding communi-ty watch over the outdoor gym in orderto avoid the facility from being vandal-ised in future.

“We as the residents should make surethese incidents do not occur and as muchas council would like to assist, we musttake some sort of responsibility in orderto protect facilities like these,” he says.

A LARGE chessboard is set to become oneof the first public board games of its size inObservatory later this month.

Heritage Day on 24 September will see theObservatory Improvement District (Obsid)launching the large chessboard under theStation Road bridge.

Ursula van Stavel, the Chief OperationsManager for Obsid, explains that the sectionunder the bridge is currently being upgrad-ed for the community’s use.

The area is being improved in order tomakeway for the chessboardwithmurals onthe surrounding walls. Large chess pieces,which have to be booked out, will be re-quired before users can start chanting“Checkmate!”

“This is really something big for the areaand it will benefit the whole community. Wefind this as being really big for Observato-ry,” Van Stavel says.

Various schools, organisations and fami-lies will be invited on National Braai Day toofficially launch the chessboard and partici-pate in a few friendly games.

Resident Bridget Jackson is excited at theprospect of having a “user-friendly” publicspace metres away from her home.

Jackson has two sons, both of whom arekeen on chess.

She says: “I have not told themyet, but canonly imagine what their expressions wouldbe when I tell them they can play chess withhuge pieces.”

Ward councillor Brett Herron welcomeswith project.

“Any community initiated project whichcontributes to improving public spaces andcreating safe, useful nodes for communitiesto enjoy are to be encouraged,” he says.

He confirms that funding has been madeavailable for similar projects, linked to Her-itage Day, to be rolled out throughout theward.

“What we have here is a simple, creativeidea that contributes significantly to im-proving the area,” he says.

Herron looks forward to World DesignCapital 2014, encouraging residents to seehow they can respond to City-owned spacesthat can be improved through partnershipbetween residents and the council.

New heritageWITHHeritageDayonMonday24September,the decision to rename some Cape Townstreets has been made in good time.The street renaming debate will continue

unabated.This is an emotional issue. There will al-

ways be detractors.Some may breathe a sigh of relief at the re-

naming of Hendrik Verwoerd Drive to UysKrige Drive and the offensively-named Na-tive Yard (NY1), whichwill be renamed SteveBiko Drive.The street renaming should be perceived as

anattempt at redressing part of this country’spainful past – and, hopefully, to leave it bur-ied.But Heritage Day has itself been unofficial-

ly rebranded National Braai Day.This in itself speaks of a lack of sentiment

towards our national heritage.And it may not be such a bad thing.Ask most locals if they know the people

who, until now, have had streets named forthem.Most won’t know who Hendrik Verwoerd

was. Or Coen Steytler.Fast forward to two decades from now and

who will remember Walter Sisulu or RobertSobukwe?Admittedly, many will remember Nelson

Mandela, but as for the rest?Contemporary history will give most of

these political icons a line in the annals of ourhistory books.By comparison, ask any tourist what they

love about Cape Town and they will say it isthe friendly people, the natural beauty of thecity, the different cultures, fine food andwine.These are reasons enough to draw foreign-

ers to our country.A braai on a Monday? Why not? Celebrat-

ing Heritage Day with friends and family isperhaps a suitable heritage.One that is worth building on.

I AM heartened at the collectivestance and display of spiritual uni-ty by the 2012 Religious LeadersAn-ti-Corruption Summit in CapeTown. It is indicative that, wherethe politicians have failed us, peo-ple who can be likened to Archbish-op Emeritus Desmond Tutu haveheeded the call to fight corruption.It was the stoic clergyman Tutu

who headed the post-apartheidTruth and Reconciliation Commis-sion, and diffused a myriad of con-flict situations where political lead-ership has failed. Hence, all God-fearing citizens must give theirunanimous support of theReligiousLeaders Anti-Corruption Summitproposals, and give credence to thelone voices of courageous individu-als such as businessman HughGlenister and activist Terry Craw-ford-Brown, who have consistentlyfought against corruption.(Fighting) the scourge of corrup-

tion remains the responsibility ofeach law abiding citizen.Offering a bribe to a corrupt law

enforcement official, “stealing” ofyour employers’ time or failing toreport a crime are the basic princi-ples we must inculcate into ourmindsets.The Bible puts it succinctly in

Proverbs: “Teach children howthey should live, and they will re-member it all their lives.” The ad-age of honesty being the best policystill holds much impetus.My prayer is that the religious

leaders of SA take up the task tobring discernment, wisdom andpeace against the violent aftermathof the Marikana mine tragedy, be-cause the politicians have resortedto playing the blame game.MARK KLEINSCHMIDT

I GREW up among gangsters in District Six inthe early ’50s.I’ve always heard about this numbers gang in

the Cape.I’malmost 60 and these gangs are still around.Whilewatching TVdocumentaries about sub-

stance abuse and criminal activities – in and outof jail – one cannot help to wonder what ourcriminal justice system is doing.Many of these young adults come from good

homes and are jailed for petty crimes like drugabuse leading to kleptomania, house break-insand theft.More than likely these youngsters are not vi-

olent and 90% of them are evicted from their pa-rental homes after numerous attempts of helphaving been offered to them.There is only somuchaparent can takebefore

having a nervous breakdown.While they serve their sentence, they are

threatened and abused or forced to join gangsto survive. This strengthens their numbers andgives protection to ring leaders.After serving their sentences, they are worse

off.With their criminal record, they don’t stand

a chance of applying for a low-paid job as compa-nies do criminal checks on employees. That’swhere the cycle starts again. These young ladsare so depressed and go back to their old habits.Except for a few who make it, there is really

no end to this cycle.Is Correctional Services doing enough to re-

habilitate these youngsters? Constitutionally,all prisoners have humanitarian rights.The Correctional Services should infiltrate

these number gangs by starting to weed out cor-rupt prison officials. They can’t tell me theydon’t know what’s happening in their jails.The news media know – which makes it even

worse – and Correctional Services is not doinganything about it. I know their lives are threat-ened, but they have taken an oath to uphold thelaw. Gangsters are not born, but created.

This system allows them to be part of thenumbers gang. If you do the crime, you do thetime.Magistrates should consider if jail time is re-

ally punitive or rehabilitative.They should consider sentences to rehabilita-

tion rather than prison.ARTHUR PILLAY

BO-KAAP residents are now armed withenough information to take the AbantuRestaurant and Bar to the Cape HighCourt.

AbantuRestaurant, formerlyknownas theTime and Place Restaurant and Bar, is be-lieved to have been temporarily closed for“safety and health” purposes, but residentswish to continue with legal action.On Friday, residents capped off a week’s

worth of protesting with a public march,venting their outrage at a bar opening upright next to the Nurul Islam Mosque on thecorner of Wale and Buitengracht Streets.Residents and worshippers at the mosque

were shocked when the business startedtrading three weeks ago, starting protestsoutside the premises, (“Mosque and bar inbrawl”, People’s Post, 28 August).Bo-Kaap Civic Association chairperson,

Osman Shaboodien, was delighted to seehundreds of residents braving stormyweath-er in order to make their voices heard.“It makesme feel really upbeat that people

turned up in the rain to show their anger andif people are already taking this stance, wecan only have positive results,” he says.The public march resulted in a memoran-

dum being handed over to the CEO of theWestern Cape Liquor Board, with a secondmemorandum being prepared for the Mayor

of Cape Town, Patricia de Lille.Board CEO Thys Giliomee believes the

“correct procedures were followed” whenthe licence was conditionally approved on 19October 2011.He says: “The Liquor Authority has there-

fore indicated that its decision will stand.”However, the licence must be renewed by

31 December and should there be valid objec-tions against the business, these will be tak-en into consideration by the Liquor Licenc-ing Tribunal. “The Liquor Authority is at alltimes sensitive to the concerns of all commu-nities where liquor outlets are in operation.”The association, along with residents and

worshippers, now obtained enough informa-tion from the liquor board to complete an ap-plication to the Cape High Court.“We are planning to take this matter fur-

ther andweareprepared to protest every sin-gle day outside this business, until we haveresolved this matter,” says Shaboodien.The association hosted a public planning

meeting, where they worked on a strategy tooppose and to begin the legal process.Residents were “disgusted” that a licence

was even granted to such a business, espe-cially taking into consideration that a placeof worship neighboured the establishment.Bo-Kaap resident Rashiedah Gasant has

been protesting against the business sincelast week. She says: “In other areas, if a tav-ern should open up next to church, it will im-mediately be closed down for worshipping

purposes. So why can this not hap-pen here as well?”Resident Anwar Richards sup-

ports the civic associationandwish-es to see the “disrespectful” busi-ness closed down immediately.He says: “What are other people

thinking when they drive past themosque and see a bar and mosqueright next to each other? It reallymakes our religion look bad andpeople are probably laughing everytime they see this sad sight.”People’s Post attempted to con-

tact the manager for comment, butwas unsuccessful.

Battle heads to court

BARMUSTGO: Hundreds of Bo­Kaap residents andwor­shippers gathered outside the Bo­KaapMuseum beforetheir protest march against the Abantu Restaurant.

People’s Post used the word “brawl” inthe context of the Bo-Kaap communityrallying to have the Abantu Restaurant

closed down (“Bar brawl marches on”,28 August).The word “brawl” was meant to indi-

cate a dispute. People’s Post apologisesfor any negative connotation this mayhave had.

Teacher to raiseR1m for charityLIAM MOSES

A MITCHELL’S PLAIN teacher has sethimself the target of raising R1million forschools and charities by running the Chi-cago Marathon in October this year.

Irafaan Abrahams, a teacher at RocklandsHigh School, is already well known acrossCape Town for his community work, havingraised over R250 000 in a similar project lastyear where he ran the New York Marathon.

This year 10 different schools and two can-cer charities will be the recipients of anymon-ey raised.

Abrahamssays thathe chose tomakecancercharities and cancer education a major partof this year’s programme because of his per-sonal experience with the disease.

“The main point of this year’s project is toraise awareness about cancer and spread ofcancer. That’s why the two beneficiaries thisyear are amaBeleBelles andCancervive,” saysAbrahams.

“It’s a big personal push also because lastyear while I was running the New York Mara-thonmy dad fell ill and he was diagnosed withcancer. It’s a big personal issue.”

Abrahams adds that two members of theOmmiedraai Athletic Club, which helps himwith one his community projects, were also re-cently diagnosed with the disease.

The money for the project will be raised bythe 10 schools Abrahams has enlisted, Mitch-ell’s Plain-based NGO Making an ImpactThrough Sport (MITS), the Ommiedraai Ath-letics Club, the Itheko Sport Athletic Club andthe ARD Athletic Club.

While the schools will keep all of the moneythat they raise to use on their own projects,

and possibly donate a percentage to the twobeneficiary NGOs if they wish to, the otherfour organisations will donate around 50 per-cent of themoney they raise to amaBele Bellesand Cancervive.

The schools and organisations will raise thefunds using collection cards; donate R5 foreach of the Chicago Marathons 43 kilometres.Abrahams says he is certain that the R1 mil-lion can be raised through the project.

“Every school on average gets a thousandcards which could bring in R250 000 even ifthey only bring in half of that money and weadd it up we will have our R1 million,” saysAbrahams.

WOODLANDS United strengthened theirclaim for a place in the Engen KnockoutChallenge finals on Saturday after rout-ing Ashford Athletic in a play-off fixtureat the Stephen Reagan sports complex.

The Mitchell’s Plain side beat their Heath-field opponents 4-0 to claim the top spot inGroup 3 of the play-off round. Woodlandsdominated the match virtually from the firstwhistle, camping in the opposition half, mo-nopolising possession and limiting Ashfordto counter attacks.TheAshforddefenceworked tokeepUnited

at bay for most of the first half, but their re-sistance was finally broken around half-waythrough the first half.The ball was crossed into the penalty area

froma corner and JasonMiller capitalised onAshford’s inability to clear the danger bysmashing the ball into the roof of the net.Woodlands were not made to wait long for

their second goal and again took advantageof sloppy set-piece defending minutes later.Ashford failed to clear the ball from a cornerandNazeer Stallboomslammed the ball homeduring the ensuing goal-mouth scramble.Ashford grew desperate in the second halfand sent more players forward, but the tacticproved fatal asWoodlands simply reverted tothe direct, counter-attacking play that has be-come their hallmark.In the 37th minute, Woodlands attacker

Adrian van Niekerk was put through on goalafter a pin-point through-ball from one of histeammates. He smuggled the ball into the netafter the Ashford keeper fumbled a save.Van Niekerk struck the death blow nine

minutes later, when he turned on the edge ofthe box and beat one man and to a clinicalfinish.Woodlands under-17 coach Elric Claasen is

confident his teamwill be able to beatNation-al First Division side Vasco da Gama in theirnext game to their place in the last 16.“I think we will go through now that we

have won. I wanted this result; I predictedthis result. We need one more win to gothrough,” says Claasen.“We are playing Vasco next and I feel confi-

dent. They are a big team, but winningagainst big teams is what us smaller teamsdo.”Claasenbelieveshis team’s superior tactics

and hard work on the training ground paidoff during the match.“I think we won because of our direct play.

We exploited their defensive system. Theirdefencewasweakandourswas strong.That’swhere we got our goals. I think our trainingpaid off. We focused on set pieces duringtraining.”Claasen, who also plays for the Woodlands

senior side, adds that his teamwere themoremotivated side because the club is turning 20this year.The final 16 teams for the Engen Knockout

Challenge will be decided this week after the

last round of play-off fixtures takes place atthe Thornton Sports Complex today and onThursday.Today Stars of Africa face Kuils River at

18:30, Bluegum United play Greenwood at
