URBAN RENEWAL: CITY DEVELOPS LANDSCAPE FRAMEWORK

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE public spaces and infrastructurealong the main road from the CapeTown CBD to the Mowbray CBD face a

bright future.The City of Cape Town’s development

plan, the Landscape Framework, will see thebusy stretch of road being beautified and up-graded. Development plans commenced inApril.

Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater and ward coun-cillor, Brett Herron, believes that “plans to

develop the area are starting to take shape”.“The plan is to ensure that we make strate-

gic and coherent investments in the generalimprovement of the road so as to encourageenhanced access and usage, to improve thegeneral appearance and support a vibrantlocal economy,” Herron says.

The Landscape Framework will identifythings such as areas aligned to the public ar-ea, such as the Trafalgar Park. The plan willalso spot opportunities to enhance pedestri-an comfort and safety, as well as tree plant-ing opportunities. Also part of this plan aresuggestions of suitable materials so consist-

ency may be held when paving. Street furni-ture will also prominently feature.

Herron confirms that cost of implementa-tion will only be determined once the out-come of the plan has been received.

However, there is a R200 000 tag attachedto a small part of it, as the plan will be formu-lated internally.

“The Spatial Planning and Urban Designdepartment will commence a process to de-velop a plan for the upgrade of public infra-structure and spaces along main road fromthe city centre to Mowbray,” he says.

Owner of a local butchery in Woodstock,

Haroon Sharjah, was delighted to hear thatplans to upgrade the main road are on thehorizon.

He specifically liked the idea of tree plant-ing, saying that the area “always lacked abit of colour and greenery”.

“This one of Cape Town’s main corridorsand we must take some pride in it. There arethousands of people, including tourist, whopass through here every single day and wedon’t have much to offer them,” he says.

“It’s by time that government stop wastingtax payer’s money and start diverting it to-wards things that uplift our community.”

LANDMARK: RESURRECTING HISTORICAL INTEREST

Grave concernNADINE MOODIE

THEancient grave of aReformedChurchpriestwhowas laid to rest 220 years agoin FinsburyAvenue, Newlands, was re-

cently restored to its original state.This came after the Van Lier Forum – con-

stisting of Groote Kerk, Rondebosch DutchReformed Church and Newlands residentswho live close to the grave – complainedabout the appalling state of the area wherethe priest was laid to rest.Former neurosurgeon and member of the

forum, Professor JC (Kay) de Villiers saysdesnse bushes and shrubs smothered thegrave and and rendered the entire area un-sightly.“I think the church forgot about theminis-

ter who was buried there, so we as membersof the Van Lier Forum just nagged them un-til they decided to restore the grave,” hesays. Helperus Ritzema van Lier was aDutch Reformed priest who was born on 4November 1764 in Assen, The Netherlands.His intelligence and curiosity led to him

being admitted to the University of Gronin-gen at age 14. There he pursued Theology,Mathematics, Philosophy and Natural Sci-ence.At the age 21 he was offered a position as

priest at Groote Kerk in Cape Town.In a short history onVanLier’s life,DeVil-

liers writes that the trained priest initiallydeclined the position, but changed his mindafter much prayer and deliberation.“After his arrival inCapeTownheworked

amongst the slaves, Khoisan and farmers inarea and created an environment wherethey were able to worship together at thechurch,” he says.It was in this city where the priest met his

wife Maria Johanna van der Riet, who wasthe sister of Ryno van der Riet, who later be-came the magistrate of Stellenbosch.

Van Lier’s enlightened ministry made animpression on Capetonians at the time, be-cause he focused on the gospel and educat-ing the locals that included farmers andslave children.“The city was expanding during the late

1700s and as a young priest he had to dealwith new political ideals, social orders, theeconomic gap between the rich and poor, aswell as dwindling churchmembership num-bers,” explains De Villiers.His life was short-lived when he suddenly

contracted tuberculosis in 1791 at age 27 andbattled to continue his work among the peo-ple. He died two years later, his final wishwas to be laid to rest on the church’s proper-ty in Newlands, in what was then the coun-tryside.De Villiers says: “It is a shame that the

church has failed to keep thememory of thisenlightened man alive, and that is why westarted this forum. He did so much for thepeople of Cape Town and his work needs tobe remembered.”

New chuch bells are ringingNADINE MOODIE

AN ENGLISH mediumReformed Church was re-cently launched inRonde-bosch.The idea came after the

resident reverend, SimonJooste felt that more peo-ple in the Southern Sub-urbs needed to hear thegospel.“People are tired of the

lack of depth at some ofthe mega-churches, thatare very superficial,” hesays.Jooste grew up and

went to school in Ronde-bosch and after spending15 years in the USA, he re-turned to his place ofbirth with his family.“I know thepeoplehere,

and the church is alsogeared at people from thisarea, who have a desire toserve God in a traditionalmanner,” he says.The Rondebosch Reformed Church is

the offspring church of the Bellvillebranch.Reverend Coenrad Vrey from the

mother body says there are only a fewAf-rikaans Reformed churches in CapeTown.“In 2012 the church senate decided they

wanted to establish churches that wereopen toEnglish speakers. This cameafterwe saw the success of the church inTswa-na and Zulu communities.”Jooste is not blind to the history his

church has with the apartheid govern-ment.“There are many negative connota-

tions attached to the church, such as the

apartheid legacy, but I’d like to see moreethnic diversity in the church and morepeople walk with God.”The church has 40 members and was

launched in October.And the services are held in the 2nd

Scouts Hall.Church member Delilah Sao Joao says

she’s had a pleasant experience at thechurch.“The previous churches I attended felt

like a Saturday night out on the town. Si-mon’s sermonsarebasedon theBible andare very edifying,” she says.She says thather family is far awayand

she’s found support within the churchcommunity.

ROTARACT: HELPING HOMELESS BRAVE THE BIG CHILL

Kindness freely givenNADINE MOODIE

LASTweek theClaremontRotaractClubtook to the streets dressed as super-heros handing out care packages - all

in the aim to give the homeless in the areaa reason to smile.

This about on Tuesday 30 April as 17 clubmembers came together and took thestreets between Observatory and Kenil-worth as superheros armed with care bagsfor homeless people.

Club member, Sarah de Villiers says theidea started when fellow member, NicoleBall suggested fun initiatives they could im-pletement this year tohelpmakea contribu-tion to the community.

“Nicole spoke about peoplewhowere gen-erally forgotten, like the man sleeping un-der the bridge, the little boy curled up onthe park bench and the beggar at the robots.There are somany individuals in the south-ern suburbs in this situation,”she says.

“All of them have need of warm blanketsand food, just like us.

“We decided to label the initiaitve, ‘Herofor a day’ and then dress up as superherocharacters to add to the fun,” she says.

De Villiers says club members managedto pack 200 bags containing a new blanket,soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bottle ofwater, an emergency poncho, tinned goods,a face cloth, a sandwich and a small choco-late.

“We managed to hand out 100 bags on thenight and decided to keep the remainder inour cars, which we hope to hand out whenwe see needy people on the streets,” shesays. “It’s such a rewarding experience.Wereceived many thanks on the night, fromthe homeless and motorist who slowed

down and honked their horns in praise. It’sgreat to realise we’re making a differencein the lives of people who are often forgot-ten,” De Villiers gushes.

“The club hopes to repeat the initiativein the coming months and has more ideas

which include handing out sweets tomotor-ists, a visit to Red Cross Children’s Hospi-tal,” she says.

Rotaract is the Rotary International-sponsored service club for people betweenthe ages of 18 and 30.

Bye-byeBye-byeholidays?holidays?SOUTH AFRICANS face the possibility

of having fewer public holidays.A government task team has report-

edly been set up to investigate a possible re-duction in the number of public holidays.This is after some religious groups said theSouth African calendar was discriminatingagainst them. Some of the holidays thatcould be scrapped includeDay of Reconcilia-tion (16 December), Day of Goodwill (26 De-cember) and Family Day (the first Mondayafter Easter).People’sPostpolled readers to findouthow

they feel about the possibility of having few-er public holidays.

ZANDILE MAQHOSHA says public holidaysbring people from different backgroundstogether. “Every holiday has a meaningattached to it and more holidays should beadded to accommodate other religions insteadof scrapping a few.

TASMEED ABRAHAMS says more holidaysshould be added to honour other religiousgroups. “No holiday should be scrapped, butevery religious holidays should be celebratedas we have more than one religion.”

LINSDAY CAMERON-DOW says all religionsshould be taken into account due t ourcultural diversity. “All religions are importantand every religion should benefit from theholiday. They shouldn’t reduce the holidays,but they can add more.”

NICK OLIVIER says the issue is a controversialone and many people will disagree. “There area few holidays I think should be reconsidered.But those days also have history attached tothem and if I name them I might upset a fewpeople.

JADE JANSEN says more holidays should beadded. “It is only fair that other religiouscelebrations be recognised as holidays. Butnone of the existing holidays should be takenaway as they have a history that comes withthem.”

WAYDON WEBER says religious holidays areimportant. “No public holiday should bescrapped because they are all significant.Instead, they can add more holidays toaccommodate other religious groups.”

YENTL KOHLER says every holiday is signifi-cant. “It is not just a random day off. We livein a diverse country with different cultures. Itwill be good if other cultures and religiousholidays are also embraced.”

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHTuesday, 7 May 2013 NEWS 5OBSERVATORY: LOCALS STEP IN TO SAVE THE LIESBEECK

Cleaning spreeof polluted riverECO-FRIENDLY warriors have stepped

up and taken charge of the LiesbeeckRiver.

Once a month, the Liesbeeck River Clean-ing team will tackle the polluted body of wa-ter as a community project.

People’s Post’s article, “River flows withproblems” (9 April), sparked some debate.

This prompted a team of five workers todutifully clean the river.

They are led by concerned Observatoryresident Ricardo Sa.

The team also receives help from volun-teers.

The group has already managed to clean20% of the river banks and waterways be-tween the N2 bridge and the River Club.

The latest clean-up saw 20 College of CapeTown students – some of whom live at River-view Lodge in Observatory – joining the ini-tiative.

The project is also supported by theFriends of the Liesbeeck.

The students are all participating in theNational Rural Youth Service Corps (Nar-ysec) Project, which is run under the aus-pices of the national Department of RuralDevelopment.

The Narysec Project was launched in 2010to develop skills and create jobs for youngpeople from rural areas.

This programme runs over a six-monthperiod.

Sa confirms that during the latest clean-up, the volunteers removed 105 bags of litterfrom the river.

Some of the items include two shoppingtrolleys, a computer, tyres, clothes andheaps of plastic.

The team covered almost 2000 metres.

“There is still lots to be done, but eachtime we clean up this river, we feel as if weare moving forward,” Sa says.

He confirms that the next clean-up will fo-cus mainly on the river banks as well as thecontents inside the river.

A boat will be hired to gain access to theislands in the middle of the river.

“It is a challenge, but we have some dedi-cated people who really want to keep thisriver clean. We can only appeal to the publicto avoid dumping in it,” he says.

To get involved or find out more about theproject, contact Sa on 0 072 145 3010.

Challenge to show off city landmarksLIAM MOSES

MORE than 4 000 walkers and runnersof every ability level are expected tofill the streets of Cape Town for the

third annual Jive Slave Route Challenge onSunday.The event will again be hosted by Lion of

Africa Itheko Sport Athletic Club, one of thelargest running clubs in South Africa.People’s Post is the printmedia sponsor for

the second year.The Challenge features a half marathon,

10km fun run, 5km fun run and 10km walk,over courses which take participants pastsome of Cape Town’s most historic sites.Donny Jurgens of the City of Cape Town’s

department of sport and recreation, saysthey chose to partner with Itheko because

the race’s uniqueness.“The Jive Slave Route Challenge is not an

event in which you are likely to make yourpersonal best. This is not a race for the fastand the furious,” he says.“This is not to attract the top Ethiopians

to come and run in our city. This is a differ-ent kind of race.“Our department is not about personal be-

sts; our department is about celebrating life,celebrating culture, celebrating history andcelebrating the fact that people from allwalks of life and all shapes and sizes partici-pate in a mass running event.”The race will start in Darling Street, be-

tween the Grand Parade and City Hall, be-fore winding its way around the City Bowl.Some of the landmarks passed along the

way to the finish line include St Mark’s

Church and Aspeling Mosque in DistrictSix, the Hurling Swinging Pump in Gardensand the South Africa Jewish Museum andParliament in Government Avenue.Runners will also pass through the Castle

ofGoodHope, for only the second time inhis-tory, just minutes after a miniature cannon– replacing the start gun – sends them off.This year runners will also have another

reason to participate, as the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust has been confirmed asthe official beneficiary.Sean Burton, marketing manager of Qual-

ity Beverages, the producers of Jive, urgesall participants to donate to the Trust.“The Trust is really close to us – as a com-

pany, we have been supporting them foryears,” says Burton.We specifically target most of our initia-

tives at the youth market.“Wehaven’t confirmed an amount yet, but

we have also offered the Trust as an officialbeneficiary for runners to donate. We are al-so asking that all participants get involvedby donating some funds.“There has been talk of sponsoring rand-

for-rand value, but we haven’t really con-firmed that.”Anyone interested in entering can do so

on the first floor of City Hall on Friday 10May from 16:00 until 20:00, from 10:00 until17:00 on Saturday 11 May and from 05:30 un-til 08:15 on race day.The half marathon will start at 07:00 and

the final event, the 10km walk, will start at08:15.V To view a video of last year’s Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge visit www.peoplespost.co.za.

Young hockey players learn the ropesTHE growing interest in hockey washighlighted on Tuesday 30 April as 220young players from around the southersuburbs gathered at theWynberg Astro-turf Complex for the Sporting Chanceday-night Hockey Super Skills Chal-lenge.Hockey Super Skills, a skills training

course, comes at a time when the atten-tion onhockey continues to grow follow-ing the relative successes of both themen’s and ladies’ national teams at theLondon Olympic Games in 2012.The event was run by Wynberg Boys’

High School and Sporting Chance.Wynberg has produced some of the

country’s best hockey players, withWayne Denne, Ian Haley, Lloyd Norris-Jones, Rhett Halkett and Jonty Robin-son among the list of Old Boys who havemade their mark on the South Africanhockey scene.Brad Bing, managing director of

SportingChance, hailed theopportunityto work with Wynberg Boys again.“It’s a privilege towork so closelywith

a school that has produced so many Ol-ympians. Yet, the Wynberg way doesn’tonly reach hockey, but also cricketwhere they have produced the Proteasduoof JacquesKallis andRichardLevi,”

says Bing.“School sport is the key to a successful

sporting heritage in our country. This isno more evident than when you look atour sporting success and where the rootof that has been.”A long-timeugly stepsister to themore

popular rugby, soccer and cricket, thereis a change afoot as schools are takinga keener interest in the sport.The aim of the Super Skills Challenge

is to test players’ technical ability. Play-ers with better technical skills on ahockey pitch are at more of an advan-tage to the average player.The event helps coaches see where a

player may lack in their skillset andtherefore where they should aim to de-velop the player during the hockey sea-son.The five skills - goal shooting, passing,

dribbling, yard-stick and the dummygive a well-rounded test of what wouldbe required of a player to elevate theirgame to the next level.Wynberg-Sporting Chance Hockey

Super Skills also presented an opportu-nity to extend the demographic of hock-ey in the country, with an invitation totheLangaHockeyClub topresent a teamon the day.

Westerford fight-back in vainLIAM MOSES

CAMPS BAY High School managed tohold off a late fight-back from Wester-ford in a tight encounter on Saturday.

Westerford outscored their hosts by fourtries to three, but three missed conversionsmeant the Rondebosch school still wentdown 25-23.DeanCottle, Camps Bay’s head coach, was

happy with the victory, but believes his sidecould have put in a better performance.“Thematch was a bit scrappy and our ball

retentionwasnot great, but the teamshowedlots of guts and individual brilliance,” saysCottle.“The boys also really wanted get back at

Westerford because they beat us last year.”Cottle’s side had the better of the opening

exchanges in the game and camped in theWesterford half for the first ten minuteswithout scoring. The hosts eventuallyopened the scoring in the 11thminute, wheninside centreRaaqib Siljeurs slotted a penal-ty.Westerford hit back almost immediately

with a try from eighth-man Zain Allie anda conversion from flyhalf Fareez Davids inthe 14th minute.However, the lead lasted just three min-

utes, until Siljeurs powered hisway over thetry-line past several would-be tacklers.Siljeurs missed the subsequent conversion,but succeeded with his next attempt after

centre partner Masisuble Masekuwanascored Camps Bay’s second try.Westerford refused to be outdone and they

again crossed in the 30th minute, whenloosehead prop Logan Arendse found spaceon the left wing.The scoring continued around 15 minutes

into the second-halfwhenSiljeurs scoredhissecond penalty. And the hosts stretchedtheir lead again when flyhalf Chad Cloetecrossed for another touchdown, whichSiljeurs converted.The balance of power then shifted and

Westerford fought back with two tries in thefinal ten minutes.First inside centre Luke Cloete bundled

his way over from inside the 22 and Allie

scored his second in a carbon copy ofCloete’s try.Cottle blamed the fight-back on a lapse in

concentration from his players.“They started thinking about the result in-

steadof concentrating on the game,”he says.“But theymanaged to get it back in the end.”Westerford will feel disappointed at hav-

ing lost the game, as they held their own inevery facet of play and outperformed theirhosts at the breakdown.Camps Baywill be looking to build on this

victory when they face Zwaanswyk (A) onSaturday 11 May, while Westerford willhope to improve their first time tackling andgoal kicking before their clash against Edge-mead (A) on the same day.
